Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

Has anyone tried making an square enix account through the steam version of the game?

#

Or am I at the wrong channel?

proud willow
#

whatever instructions you get while buying on Steam should be correct, I don't think there's a wrong way to do it

Hey, ik that crystal is a rp focused community but whats the diffrences between Primal and Aether?

faint flare
#

None

#

They're practically the same

Only crystal is the odd one out

You can also use the in-game party finder

@faint flare i read some places that Aether is more serious with raiding, is that minuscule or pretty big

leaden ginkgo
#

I should only use nocturnal when the fight has raid-wides that wipe us, right?

little swift
obsidian patio
abstract sierra
faint flare
#

Yes

little swift
#

people don't raid through fcs always

#

they make cross world statics typically

#

you're not gated to raiding with only people on one world

faint flare
#

Fcs are just social stuff

abstract sierra
#

i see

#

so jsut the data center matters no the server?

faint flare
#

Yes

little swift
#

the data center itself barely matters

wanton wagon

Ok well that website does not work. I need 2 more out of the 3 to join. So is there any good discord’s or something like that so they can join my free company.

how fast does square enix respond?

obsidian patio
#

Usually within 1-2 business days

split whale
#

So I followed the steps in the faq, and I went to sign in and download the trial, but it says that my account is ineligible for the free trial because it already used it. I thought the trial had unlimited play time?

little swift
#

when did you last play the trial?

split whale
#

Like last year or earlier this year, I can’t remember exactly

little swift
#

if it was before they made it unlimited time, then your account is sadly no longer eligible

copper notch
#

idk if this is the right place to ask, but can someone point me to where i can farm peiste skins really fast in arr/heavensward

split whale
#

If that’s the case can I get the full version and play?

little swift
#

yes

#

if it was last year your trial should still be valid

why doesn't it let me create a new account under the same email if I cancelled my old square enix account?

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys I just hit msq level 50 which means I get samurai right?

split whale
#

Well then idk how to get the client, cuz I tried the website, went on the faq and nothing. So I guess choice would be to upgrade, right?

copper notch
# little swift

is one location better than the other? should I do basalisks because theyre higher level?

random girder
little swift
#

the level of the monster won't affect drop rate

random girder
#

unlocks in ul'dah

#

Either way is fine, but I’m still a little peeved it won’t let me get the trial again 😓

And own stormblood

i'd just go with whatever you can kill the fastest

Yup. It says the only options are to transfer to regular service

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah ok @random girder! I would like to try it out but should I finish the msq before leveling any other jobs? Or does the samurai start at 50?

random girder
#

sam starts at 50

leaden ginkgo
#

Beautiful

random girder

so does red mage

warm snow
#

Jobs from later expansions start at higher levels

leaden ginkgo

is there a way to isnta cast ground target skills

warm snow

You can macro them

A lot of people do that for drks puddle and healer bubbles

Well, thanks anyways. I’m gonna see about just getting the full game and doing it that way. Thank you guys for your help

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

Hi! On the newer end of FFXIV players. I've been having issues running the game using DirectX 11 and the fixes I've seen on the forums haven't exactly been all too helpful. Has anyone else had these issues and found a fix? I can include system specifics and specs if that helps.

dim sphinx
#

Hey, I just started playing the game a few days ago, me and my friend are on Sargatanas, but I wanted to remake my character and the world is locked. If I delete the character I have on that world will it allow me to make the new one?

outer mural
outer mural
#

but note

vital storm
#

It runs fine using DirectX 9 for me. However, when I've tried to use DirectX 11 the game crashes on a regular basis.

dim sphinx
#

Wait, I paid $60 this free month isn't the free trial right?

outer mural
#

you will get a fantasia, ie a 'remake character' potion later on at level 50 MSQ

#

oh no yes then you can just make another char

outer mural
#

but do note you also get the potion

true jolt
dim sphinx
#

Yeah, but it says The world is not accepting new characters

#

If I delete my character will that give another spot for the new character to be made?

faint flare
#

No

vital storm
#

I will. I can run games like Forza 4 in 4k at 60fps on my system, so I'm a little confused why these issues have been so prevalent 😅 I'll ask over there

faint flare
#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

vital storm
#

thanks!

outer mural
#

you'll just have to wait and keep trying

#

or try again at not prime time

dim sphinx
#

Ah dang, been trying for around 3 hours now 🙂

outer mural
#

yeah, it would be best if you try during nighttime or when it's less active

vital storm
#

Well I'm happy it's not just me haha. Appreciate it ❤️

outer mural
#

but again, you can play until level 50 to remake your character with the free fantasia

dim sphinx
#

Like a complete remake? New race and all?

outer mural
#

yes

#

the only thing you cannot change is your name, which will need a separate purchase

#

but if you are comfortable with the name then fantasia will be exactly what you want

#

changes race and appearance entirely if you so desire

dim sphinx
#

Ah okay, and the name change is $10

#

I'd rather just remake since the character is so new tbh

#

where do I gather zonerskin maps, ive been trying the locations listed online with no turn out

faint flare

leaden ginkgo
#

yup, thats what ive been trying

faint flare
#

Maps aren't guaranteed in nodes

#

They're rng

#

Just keep checking and cycling around in the node group

leaden ginkgo
#

ah ok! is there a website or something I can be directed to that might help me see the locations for the maps?

faint flare
#

Same locations as lv80 nodes

dim violet
#

So, from what I've researched it seems it's possible to 'transfer' my PC account to steam which I'm interested in because shadowbringers is still like full price on PC but 15$ on steam.
The interesting part is I've pre-ordered endwalker on the PC version so I'm not sure what'll happen when that releases.

faint flare
#

You can't swap Id you own the game

#

Only trial can swao

leaden ginkgo
#

So if i buy the game on PS, but decide to play on PC later on, do i have to buy the complete edition again?

#

Is it even possible to play the same account?

faint flare
#

Yes, you buy the whole game again

leaden ginkgo
#

oof..

#

thx

faint flare
#

You do get 30days free again

is the ilvl 520 cryptlurker weapon noticeably better than the ilvl 520 augmented exarchic weapon?

But it can be augmented to 530

Hey uhh very dumb question, so i've been playing through the free trial and been enjoying it. I saw that shadowbringers is on sale right now and I assume it has stormblood with it as well I think? So if I got it, do I also have to get the starter edition? (im on steam by the way)

random girder
#

is the complete edition on sale on steam?

#

if yes, get that

#

if not, then yeah get starter + shadowbringers

#

okay good, also if I just got the shadowbringers dlc on steam, it won't do anything to my acc since its free trial right?

dire prawn
#

You still get sent back to Waking Sands even in SB

floral crystal
#

idk

floral crystal
#

im 10 days old i dont know anything ok haha

dire prawn
#

Or complete edition

faint flare
alpine shadow
#

you still need starter edition

jolly hedge
#

uhh just the SB and Stormblood

dire prawn
#

You need starter edition

alpine shadow
#

though, you can't buy shadowbringers on steam without starter edition anyway

alpine shadow
jolly hedge
#

ah okay

alpine shadow
#

you can't buy shadowbringers on steam without owning the base game

#

like, literally

#

unless their starter code is already used, then they are fucked

jolly hedge
#

wait... huh?

alpine shadow
#

you should have a cd key for starter edition

jolly hedge
#

on free trial or just SE on steam

alpine shadow
#

steam

jolly hedge
#

oh okay

alpine shadow
#

if you bought shadowbringers on steam, then you must have bought starter edition before, or bought it with it.

jolly hedge
#

ah

alpine shadow
#

you can check your cd keys by right clicking the game on steam -> manage

jolly hedge
#

i'm glad im able to hold onto the cd keys for SE + SB since I wouldn't know if i'd be able to play for that 30 days it gives

alpine shadow
#

yeah, it is very good for when it is on discount

jolly hedge
#

also the timer only starts when I activate SE right?

#

not SB?

alpine shadow
#

yes

faint flare
#

Starter yes

jolly hedge
#

since SE has the 30 days

#

okay

alpine shadow
#

you can't activate shadowbringers until you activate starter edition anyway

jolly hedge
#

ah then nvm, i'll just get it since its on sale and hold on to it

alpine shadow
#

you should already have it..

jolly hedge
#

i'm on free trial atm, I haven't bought SE

#

I was gonna buy this

alpine shadow
#

you know you just said you could hold keys

#

oh, you haven't bought yet?

jolly hedge
#

not yet

alpine shadow
#

if you really don't want to pay for it now, then you have a better luck at getting the discount on the actual SE Store, not steam.

jolly hedge
#

but I can't transfer between both right?

dire prawn
#

Right

#

If you get it from SE store you're locked out of Steam

jolly hedge
#

since I've been playing on steam's free trial

dire prawn
#

Oh wait

#

You're stuck with Steam anyways then

alpine shadow
#

you'd probably also want to double check your steam mogstation if is shows (steam) by your account type

dire prawn
#

Yeah you can't transfer

also besides game time, whats the point of a sub

#

hello, thinking of getting back into 14 but i missed the sale last week. I own the base game and heavensward on mogstation. what i want to know is if i need to buy Shadowbringers complete or will shadowbringers be enough to play?

faint flare
#

Just shadowbringers

dim quarry
#

Do i get any time with an expansion purchase?

faint flare
#

Never

warm snow
#

No

#

Damn were missing a dude to go nay

dim quarry
#

are links allowed here?

faint flare
#

Yes

warm snow
#

Within reason

warm snow
#

Any purchase of shadowbringers includes prior expansions

faint flare
#

Shadowbringers always gives stormblood

warm snow
#

Of which there's only one

dim quarry
#

ok

alpine shadow
#

shadowbringers gives everything that is current with starter edition

#

you only need to buy the latest expansion to get the rest

#

basically

gusty island
alpine shadow
#

?

#

collectors edition of shadowbringers only is for when you have starter edition

#

you can't buy shadowbringers + shadowbringers collectors edition

gusty island
#

i accidentally ended up purchasing only the collectors edition

alpine shadow
#

then you also need starter edition

warm snow
#

And you can't use the Shadowbringers collectors edition without owning the base game

alpine shadow
#

yeah

#

that's what they said

dim quarry
#

its really cheap though to be honest

warm snow
#

I bought the special edition rims for a car I don't own

gusty island
#

its 40 bucks now :l

#

on top of the 20 i paid for the collectors

dim quarry
#

i mean only the astarter edition is dead cheap on key shops

alpine shadow
#

don't buy keys from key shops

twilit arch
#

I would strongly recommend not buying from key shops, as they are not authorized third party sellers

#

and you run the risk of losing your acct.

jolly hedge
#

question: what are the level starts for each expansion

alpine shadow
#

arr: 0-50
hw: 51-60
sb: 61-70
shb: 71-80

warm snow
#

The level cap of the previous expansion

#

It's all linear

dim quarry
#

well knowing i missed the sale and its now on sale on steam which i cant use im not paying full price.

gusty island
#

so if i buy the starter edition (NOT the complete edition) and then use the shadowbringers collectors edition i already have -- do i have the full game then? or do i still need to buy stormblood seperately?

dim quarry
#

i couldliterally buy a key for shadowbringers, lose the account. buy a new fresh account on steam and still pay less.

jolly hedge
#

Also does me being overleveled matter too much? I'm like 5-10 lvls ahead of MSQ rn and im on ARR still. I'm on a road to 70 server by the way.

twilit arch
gusty island
#

oh nice that would only be 20 bucks then rather than 40

#

i think

dim quarry
#

yeh i said its dead cheap

gusty island
#

still annoying but not as bad

dire prawn
#

I reached 50 BLM at 36 MSQ

#

And at one point I was 16 levels over my MSQ

#

whats a road to 70 server?

dim quarry
#

alpine shadow

yes

#

cap is 90 in endwalker (not released yet)

dim quarry
#

so could you exploit by getting them all to 69?

faint flare
#

You don't need to

alpine shadow
#

you mean, 60?

jolly hedge
#

also I started a rogue so I can become a ninja and later switch to samurai, since it starts out at level 1 where do I even go to grind since my MSQ is like 20 sumn right now and I can't do it on my first class which was pugilist

faint flare
#

It applies to all jobs under 70

alpine shadow
#

ah, you mean the buff

faint flare
#

It doesn't go away when 1 job hits 70

dim quarry
#

oh i see

#

shit thats kinda cool

#

okay new question

dire prawn
dim quarry
#

i have a level 50 guy on a mogstation account. If i just buy the steam version and start fresh how will it connect to SE account?

dire prawn
#

It won't

#

You can't go between SE version and Steam version

dim quarry
#

So i can use the same email adress for 2 seperate accounts?

dire prawn
dim quarry
#

meaning a mogstation on and a steam one

faint flare
#

It would be a completely different account

dire prawn
#

So no

dim quarry
faint flare
#

No

dire prawn
#

No

faint flare
#

A completely new account

dire prawn
#

Completely new accountt

#

You'd have to rebuy and resub with the new account too

dim quarry
#

so if i bought the steam version it will ask me to make a mogstation account right? then when i tried to use my email it would say 'in use'

dire prawn
#

Yes

#

It would say something along the lines of that email already being registered to a SE account

#

But you wouldn't be able to log in with that SE account since you're on the Steam version

dim quarry
#

then why cant i just use the same email and continue with the character

dire prawn
#

Therefore, new account :^)

brisk tapir
#

So i read you get a key when buying ffxiv on steam(im currently on the free trial on steam), if i buy the complete edition which contains starter+shadowbringers, can i still keep playing the free trial till i reach 60 and take my time then apply my key at a later date to then start counting my first 30days that are included with the starter?(as far as i know that's the case)

twilit arch
#

yes

faint flare
abstract sierra
#

is getting the game on steam really as bad as people say it is? its really cheap on there rn and want to get it

faint flare
#

It's functionally the sane

#

Only downside is that it locks you to it for future expansions

brisk tapir
# faint flare If you don't use the code yes

alright thats great, cause i want to buy it but it's not a great time in the sense that i still have quite some stuff to do that doesn't require having the expansions so i feel it would be a waste of those 30days if say i take 15 to get to that point

is it possible to completely delete an account so i can buy the steam version and then use my email address?

Anyone here willing to teach me some combos ( for level 50 ) for samurai? Ik some of the basics and how to do an opener but I just don’t know how to do a combo after the finisher 😅 I’ve looked at some long and short guides alike on YouTube but it’s just not stickin.

dire prawn
dim quarry
#

i realise i will lose everything but it seems the cheaper option

jolly hedge
faint flare
#

Flower combo > moon combo (use Iajutsu before Gekko for dot on bosses) > snow combo repeat

dim quarry
#

i dont mind restarting, i was only level 50 on maybe 2 jobs and 30 on another 2

faint flare
#

Use stickers for dot on bosses and midare when dot is up

jolly hedge
#

wait really?

dire prawn
#

If you want a caster and a healer Summoner and Scholar exist though

faint flare
#

It's a dps

jolly hedge
#

ohhh

random girder
#

red mage has a heal but you shouldnt use it

leaden ginkgo
# dire prawn Have you seen the WeskAlber guide?

Yea I got a good idea on how everything works for the most part but I still feel like I have a hard time following along with the combos, maybe samurai isn’t for me😅 but gotta start somewhere

random girder
#

its basically just dualcast fodder for raises if the boss is gone

dire prawn
#

Summoner is a Caster DPS while Scholar is a shield healer and they level up at the same time since they share Arcanist

**Samurai Leveling Guide:**

Disclaimer: This guide is meant for single target (ST) encounters.
For AoE guidance, use the !faq samaoe or !faq samdungeon commands.

Level 50 Opener
➜ Keep buffs up, reapply your Higanbana as close to 0s as possible, Midare goes brrrrrr.
「Level 52」[Kenki Mastery I]:
➜ Introduces Kenki gauge & positionals on Gekko/Kasha. Use Kaiten exclusively on Iaijutsu (Higanbana > Midare).
Level 60 Opener
➜ Read Level 52.
「Level 62」[Kenki Mastery II]:
➜ Kaiten all Iaijutsu, use excess Kenki on Shinten, use Level 70 Openers.
Level 70 Bana 1st Opener>Level 70 Midare 1st Opener
➜ Reserve Midare 1st for encounters that require you to move exactly as you need to cast Higanbana with Bana 1st opener (e.g. UCoB Twintania).
「Level 76」[Tsubame-gaeshi]:
➜ Use exclusively after Midare Setsugekka (ST) or Tenka (AoE), never after Higanbana.
「Level 78」[Enhanced Jinpu & Shifu]:
➜ Congratulations! You can now study up on the max level rotation and practice it on Innocence.

#

sadge, but is my plan okay tho?

random girder
#

for example, i have my red combo on 123, blue combo on 1 ctrl2 ctrl3, snow combo on 1 ctrl 1

#

so theyre all condensed there

#

works the same if you use qer or whatever

jolly hedge
#

sam melee dps, gunbreaker tank, and ig scholar for shield/heals

random girder
#

i mean yeah that works

faint flare
#

If you want then surs

random girder
#

play whatever you find fun

jolly hedge
#

so should I level after all my MSQ or during

dire prawn
#

Some people recommend picking up one of each role as you progress into the later stages of MSQ so you have an idea of how every role works when you begin to step into endgame content

#

Others recommend picking one or two jobs and leveling only those until you complete 5.0

jolly hedge
#

okay, cause im kinda just focusing on ninja then sam later

leaden ginkgo
#

@dire prawn @random girder thank you so much guys😅!

jolly hedge
#

and later stages is like shadowbringer im assuming?

#

im on ARR rn anyway

random girder
#

but yeah try the lv 50 opener wesk alber gives you, from there you basically just repeat red sticker -> blue sticker -> white sticker

#

until dot runs out

#

when dot runs out, repeat the opener

#

and thats basically sam up to 80

abstract sierra
#

if im playing on the free trial with the regular client can i buy it on steam and sign in with that account?

random girder
#

you just get more stuff during the opener and during filler

dire prawn
dire prawn
#

But

#

You'll be locked to Steam after buying it

abstract sierra
#

ya im fine with that im not getting the collectors edition anyway

jolly hedge
#

and its all right just having those three or do I need a ranged dps

alpine shadow
dire prawn
#

I say Stormblood because 60 is when some jobs start to actually feel good (BLM)

alpine shadow
#

and physical collectors edition you can buy a box

#

but they are always sold out

dire prawn
#

And most jobs have basically their entire kit by the end of SB at 70

bleak saffron

Are you suppose to get a key in your email? i just bought shadowbringerson steam since i have a steam ff14 service account but its not activated when i log into mogstation

But not see the opening screen

jolly hedge

#

Canonically the WoL is WAR in ARR, DRG in HW, SAM/MNK in SB, DRK in ShB and PLD in EW

jolly hedge

cuz of the trailers?

im suprised that was considered canon, I thought he just showcased some classes

70 leves left, how would you suggest finishing leveling up these crafters?

random girder
#

warrior in arr is the one that makes the least obvious sense to me but it fits

#

drg in hw because haha dragon expac

#

sam/mnk because hingashi and gyr abania respectively

#

drk in shb because yknow
warrior of darkness and all that

#

and then pld because ff4

#

mc switches from drk to pld i believe

#

havent played that one yet

jolly hedge
#

ah

#

also is endwalker gonna be the last dlc?

dire prawn
#

No

jolly hedge
#

cuz of the "end" n stuff

oak ice
#

We don't know but probably not

dire prawn
#

Endwalker is the end to the current storyline

#

Which has been a decade in the making

#

Starting with 6.1 we'll be in an entirely new storyline

jolly hedge
#

oo

oak ice
#

The Hydaelyn/Zodiark story ends

jolly hedge
#

also I gotta say, watching the shadowbringer trailer then endwalker put me on to the game alone

dim quarry
#

okay i just cancelled my account and it says i need to contact SE

jolly hedge
#

and im a ff fan lol

random girder
#

whats your favorite ff if i may ask

dim quarry
#

If i now buy the Steam version and use the associated email will it work?

#

or will it give me this again:

random girder
#

because its very likely theres something in here for you to point and go "I KNOW THAT THING"

obsidian patio
#

You need to reactivate your account

dim quarry
#

i dont want to reactivate it

#

its connected to the SE edition and i cant use the Steam one

remote lintel
#

you could have just switched your email address on that account so the email would be freed up

obsidian patio
#

Or added a new service account to it

dim quarry
#

this mogstation is confusing as hell

jolly hedge
# random girder whats your favorite ff if i may ask

Hard to say but probably 7 as a generic answer and 13 (please don't crucify me.) Also I haven't played the older games, 9, 11, and I haven't finished 10 and 10-2 yet. I'd say the games I have played tho I loved so far, which are 7, 8, 13 trilogy, and 15.

random girder
#

ah dont worry i havent played 13 so i dont have an opinion on it

#

but some of the weapons from 7 are in the game

#

obviously different from how they are in 7

#

(ruby, emerald etc is what i mean)

#

eden series has a lot of stuff from 8

jolly hedge
#

I saw squalls revolver blade from 8 as well

random girder
#

raid series from shb

jolly hedge
#

also oooo

random girder
#

yeah squalls gunblade is the lv80 artifact weapon for gnb

jolly hedge
#

artifact weapon?

random girder
#

goes with the artifact armor

remote lintel
#

no

random girder

basically just the job-themed set

its the collectors edition glam iirc

thought that was weathered lion heart lol sorry

i havent played 8 so i assumed haha

But not the same

"weathered" gear is lvl 80 AF gear

whats an engine blade

its noctis' "iconic" weapon

its not in the game

random girder

you can probabyl get something similar looking on pld

one of the alexander, ironworks or scaevan weapons might be close enough

jolly hedge

also it looks like this

random girder
#

yea

remote lintel

theres other wacky machine looking swords in the game

jolly hedge

wait, do they have Brotherhood (tidus' sword)

remote lintel
#

no

random girder

the midan metal sword is close-ish

remote lintel

but there are blue crystal swords

jolly hedge
#

wait now heres the real question, do they have the Masamune

random girder
#

this is close ish i guess lol

#

to brotherhood

remote lintel
#

there is nothing from ff7 except clouds advent children clothes

#

and his bike

#

but that just looks like a plain samurai sword tbh

You can get kinda close to the buster blade with a DRK dungeon weapon

Get mettle for honors/ranking for Dalriada and farm clusters for stuff

because of how the steam version works, yes

#

on non-steam itd just download stormblood and shadowbringers

Okay cool, thank you!

so it uninstalls the trial and reinstalls the whole thing

Heya, complete newbie here! I started as healer and I have done my research on learning to DPS when not healing but I'm having difficulty as far as targeting goes.

Is there any sort of mouse-over functionality? I'm always struggling to click around all the health bars between those who need healing and then back to the mobs.

bitter plaza
#

you can write mouse-over macros for your spells

#

I forgot the exact command but it's pretty easy

scenic pike
#

Oh ok, so it has to be done through macros! I thought I might've been missing something in the menus. I can look into that. Thanks!

bitter plaza
#

I think it's /ac "Cure II" <mo>

#

but don't pin me on that

#

the macro help menu should contain all the possible parameters for the /ac command

subtle lily
#

Where to you pick up pre order items?

obsidian patio
#

Mail moogles

#

They’re marked on the map with a letter

subtle lily
scenic pike
#

Also is there a more distance sensitive setting as far as mob targeting goes? At least more than once in a dungeon I've pulled a mob far off that wasn't part of the pack. No one has been upset so far but I don't want to make a habit of this.

#

With Tab key I mean.

grim plover
#

When i buy shadowbringers complete edition do i get the other dlcs?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

if there's a way to change the targeting, I have yet to find it

Oof. I'll try to pay more attention then haha.

do glamour dispellers sell well on the mb?
considering to stack up on those to help keep my gil below the 300k cap until i get my purchases figured out

#

i dont mind some loss as long as its not too substantial

obsidian patio
#

Pretty decent. They don’t sell as fast as normal glamour prisms but you can still generally make a profit from reselling them

gusty island
#

even better, nice!

obsidian patio
#

I like to sell them in stacks of 10 or 5

gusty island
#

how long does that usually take you per stack?

obsidian patio
#

It’s been forever since I’ve dealt with them so I can’t say. Check your marketboard’s history and see how fast they move

fair. guess i'll just stock up for now :p

and then move into 2.5 once im done with the prerequisites

#

is there a way for me to transfer to a preferred world?

you can pay real money for that

but imo, only do transfer for better pings, or for a server with more your-language speakers; dont transfer for just for that exp buff

Because you don't get the buff when transferring

If you've done hall of the novice, you get a 30% exp ring until job level 30

Certain gathering nodes are only available at certain times in Eorzea time, like rosemary is 1700-2000, or rose gold is 0900-1200. In ARR, these nodes have a single window per day for 3-4 hours, in other expansions it's typically twice a day, 12 hours apart, for 2 hours each like 0800-1000 and 2000-2200

I'm sorry

Navigating Limsa Lominsa is a genuine PITA.

naive ridge
#

It's mostly the staricases

tired hinge
#

its mostly just the hangout around the aethercrystal

#

connect to the aethernet and you won't need to navigate it anymore

naive ridge
#

Yeah

#

On the other hand, it has the most convenient MB access.

Yea there is no port to the spot I need to go to so no

Hello everyone, I have a random furnishing question...Is there a reason why when I buy the crystal boule it does not shine like the videos on youtube show?

slow lodge

jade quartz

jade quartz
#

Those look pretty normal

#

What does it look like in your game?

clever garden
#

yea mines look dull

#

#

maybe you have to turn it on?

tired hinge

"Unable to download patch files" [30413][25008][10009] error

there a proven workaround? the only one I see is to use a VPN but I get 1/10th of the download rate on my vpn

jade quartz
#

Is it just because you have the lights turned up?

zinc orbitBOT
clever garden
#

i turned everything off even

#

place is pitch black

outer mural
#

try sending a picture of it

slow lodge
#

anyone know what a service account is and why i cant do the free trial cause of it?

tired hinge
jade quartz
#

If you can't do the free trial it's because you already own the game and have it registered to your service account.

#

You can't go back to the free trial.

slow lodge
#

ive never bought it or registered ut

jade quartz
#

What message are you getting

boreal storm
#

You sure?

#

What does your mogstation say?

jade quartz
#

Either you're getting a message telling you you already own the game

#

or...you just haven't made an account

slow lodge
#

Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial.

Please log in using a Square Enix account that has not registered a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account.

jade quartz
#

in which case, you have to make an account.

#

OK so you own the game.

outer mural
#

you are probably misremembering that account never having bought stuff

#

this happens every so often in this channel

jade quartz

Log into the Mog Station and tell us what it says by accoutn type

jade quartz
#

Hunt trains and Nier raid coins.

#

Assuming you're not doing savage.

simple nymph
#

how often do books drop from savage, do you know?

jade quartz
#

Every clear

#

Books are guaranteed token drops straight in your inventory

simple nymph
#

oh sick. what about the coins in the alliance raid?

jade quartz
#

The same.

simple nymph
#

you get 1 of all 3 each clear?

modest igloo
#

jade quartz
#

No

#

One from each raid

modest igloo

1 per each clear of said raid

Manufactured coin from Copied Factory

jade quartz
#

It's not required.

slow lodge
#

oh

jade quartz
#

It says "optional" right there on it.

#

It's 2FA

#

You can choose to enable it if you like.

Then you will need to enter a 1-time code using a 2FA code generation app every time you log in.

Hey guys quick question:
Does the 60% off FFXIV sale on steam right now come with a 30-day gametime?

outer mural
#

yes

#

base game will include 30 days

#

shadowbringers by itself does not

dire prawn
#

What is he sitting on?

manic schooner
outer mural
#

both are affected by the same, and are bundled in the complete edition which is on sale

#

expansions do not give play time

#

endwalker will not

outer mural
#

Demi-Ozma

manic schooner
#

Oh shoot.... oh well its okay.. planning to re-sub before Endwalker comes out... im still at Stormblood beginning part storyline.. do u think i have enough time to finish the latest story before EW?

outer mural
#

you have a bit under 5 months so

shut panther
#

From stormblood? Without a doubt.

outer mural
#

yes plenty of time

manic schooner
#

I see, alright. Thanks mates! EW hype is real! Especially now that WoW is getting some pretty hard hit on their playerbase due to 9.1's terrible updates

I went to mogstation to use the activation code to upgrade from trial and received a i2501 error :c

#

also my download speeds suck balls on this launcher

hard parrot
#

Heyo, does anyone have tips for finding barse parties? PF is dry, even during the evenings.

cedar hawk
#

a hypothetical question

#

if i buy a new starter edition can i use the code to somehow

#

give me play time?

#

on another existing game

hard parrot
#

Probably not?

cedar hawk
#

damn

raven sage
#

@cedar hawkYou can as long as it's for a platform you don't own unless you wanted to buy the steam version when you actually own the standard version

cedar hawk
#

confusing

#

but i guess the answer is no

raven sage
#

Which version do you currently own?

#

And what would you be buying?

leaden ginkgo
#

The code is most likely tied to the version of the game. So I'd say it's probably not likely to work

raven sage
#

Well like I said it will always work unless you own one version of the pc license and are trying to buy the other

#

That would just be putting you in a position of having to make a new account to use it

autumn hedge
#

Can you grow things in your free company's garden?

raven sage
#

Oh and trying to double up on the same license doesn't work

raven sage
leaden ginkgo
#

I must be reading it wrong then. I thought he meant using the free time from one account to another

#

In the past, those kinds of codes were account specific

raven sage
#

Honestly not even sure what you mean because there isn't a code for the free time from the starter edition

#

Just the starter edition code

outer mural
#

they are one and the same yeah

#

you redeem the starte edition as a whole, you get the sub time, because you're being put on a sub

leaden ginkgo
#

This is all confusing as hell

slow lodge
#

how do i do free trial through steam

leaden ginkgo
slow lodge
#

i clicked play but thenit says i dont have license for the full game

leaden ginkgo
#

how exactly is aetherial mimicry used? do i have to use it before entering the duty itself?

runic mortar
#

I spent all the gil I had on the post shadowbringers mainstory quest in order to get to the minimum item level requirements, just as a sort of band-aid fix to get through the content on my msq job. Considering I am fully out of Gil, as I begin to level alts I will have none to use to get entry level gear for higher end content. Is there a city where you can spend tombstones and the like to gear up alt classes, like what rhalgrs reach offers for level 70 jobs, what idyllshire offers for 60, etc. Etc. I'm almost at the end of 5.5 so I might not have reached it yet, or might've missed it entirely

raven sage
shut panther
raven sage
#

You're literally just copying the role

runic mortar
#

oop ty ropter

outer mural
#

you just suck them up at a hub and you have it until you cancael it or swap

shut panther
#

That is how you acquire level 80 tomestone gear -- poetics is old expansions only

outer mural
#

use it outside of a duty in a town or something

runic mortar
#

what ilvl is the tomestone gear if you don't mind me asking? I got all 510 pieces when I bought them because that was the highest available in the marketplace and just seemed like it would save me trouble down the line

true jolt
outer mural
#

lexy your sin has been recorded

true jolt
#

you didnt see anything

outer mural
#

but yes that. the other tomestone is less than 510

runic mortar
#

LOL those numbers were movin and groovin

true jolt
outer mural
#

it's used for catching up alts with no gil cost

#

or that yeah

#

damn ur good

runic mortar
#

Okay thats excellent! Ty for the info all

leaden ginkgo
#

When endwalker expansion releases I have to pay for expansion and the monthly sub for access?

outer mural
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Jesus wtf?

outer mural
#

you pay once for the expansio nthen 15 for the sub for every month

leaden ginkgo
#

It's so expensive

outer mural
#

it's how it's always been

#

yeah

#

mmos are objectively more expensive for more content one can do

#

i will not disagree at all if it drives you off

slow lodge
leaden ginkgo
#

my buddy can't get in the game it keeps saying "reactivate service account" when he tries to sign in can anyone help me out?

#

But why people pay for it

hard parrot
#

To be fair, none-MMO’s charge a lot for DLC’s as well. I won’t deny that XIV is expensive, but I think expansion costs are reasonable.

outer mural
#

keeps the servers up

#

MMOs have a lot of servers they need to keep on all the time compared to other games

outer mural
#

idk what he did but it doesn't seem like a big issue to turn it back on

grim plover
#

if i buy the game on steam can i still wait to redeem it?
