questions-and-help

[leaden ginkgo]

I wanted to maximize the free trial hehe

[lunar fox]

$(%% my friend

Just sent me an image, right below that it says Enter Registration Code

[leaden ginkgo]

Me? Ill login on mobile

[jade quartz]

Not you

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh haha

[lunar fox]

Sorry for wasting your time @jade quartz - dumbass friends sometimes, haha.

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyways thanks for confirming guys

[late coyote]

oke thanks wanted to make sure i dont join a server where no one speaks english lol

[leaden ginkgo]

I'll registee after I max out the free trial

[jade quartz]

Mystery solved

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait.. the Steam CD key do not expire, right?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Even if it just sits in my Steam account

[faint flare]

None do

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright thank you!

[late coyote]

at the world selection all the serves have (EU) next to them exept ragnarok it has (EU Legacy) what does the legacy mean? is it locked to an old expansion or something?

[alpine shadow]

was an old server from 1.0

[dim quarry]

I cant make a new character on a Preferred server. Does that mean i cant get Road to 70?

[jade quartz]

Legacy is meaningless today.

[jade quartz]

Try at a less active time of day.

[alpine shadow]

if you can't create a character on that server, you would have to wait a bit

[jade quartz]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

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.

[dim quarry]

we talking days or weeks, i dont mind trying again tomorrow

[alpine shadow]

which server are we talking about specifically?

a few minutes or hours

[faint flare]

Late night/early morning

Server lock is based on people online

So do it when people aren't

[late coyote]

so basicly i get queues if i make my character there if to manny pplare on?

[dim quarry]

the 2 preferred are not taking new charactrers

[late coyote]

its just a ful lserver

[alpine shadow]

yeah, it's peak eu time now

[late coyote]

yeah i figured

i can move any time anyways right so dont really matter the world

[alpine shadow]

you don't get queue for making a character

you just have to wait till it opens

[dim quarry]

so if i start playing now i wont get the 70 buff?

[alpine shadow]

yeah

[dim quarry]

thats.... weird.

[alpine shadow]

server balancing purposes

check #resources

should be a list of server discords there

[dim quarry]

i mean its my first character and deciding to want to play now is actually hurting my character

[faint flare]

Road to 70 isn't super important

You get stupidly overlevelled with it

[clever ether]

How restricted are mogging? Can I use a full body piece that dont show skin on my male DNC?

[faint flare]

And your level means nothing

[dim quarry]

how does that make you overlevelled then if level means nothing

im not follwoing you

[faint flare]

Because story locks everything

[jade quartz]

There are hundreds of glamour options in the game so yes

Also calling it "mogging" ain't gonna translate very well because in this game that connotes Moogles

[faint flare]

If you're lv80 but are on lv50 story quests, you literally can't do any 50+ content

Story locks EVERYTHING

[dim quarry]

but surely road to buff means i can just get a character into raids faster

[faint flare]

Instances will sync you down

No it wont

Cause again

Story locks EVERYTHING

[jade quartz]

Raids are behind MSQ

[faint flare]

You NEED to do story for raids

[jade quartz]

Everything is behind MSQ

[faint flare]

You literally can't do lv80 content if you don't do story

[dim quarry]

wont MSQ be above my level at any point?

[faint flare]

Even if you hit lv80 sooner

[clever ether]

Ah MOOOGLES ❤️

[faint flare]

No

[jade quartz]

Not if you have Road to 70

[boreal storm]

Raids are level x0 quests, which you can’t do until you reach x0 msq quests

[faint flare]

With Road to 70 you'll be like 20+ levels over it

In time

[astral bolt]

are squad members all the same except appearances?

[dim quarry]

will there be a point where i have to grind side missions to reach MSQ level?

[faint flare]

No

[boreal storm]

Not with road to 70

[faint flare]

Even without the buff the story gives you enough xp

[spare girder]

hey mates, im new and have a lvl 40 character on steam free trial, i wanna buy the square enix version of the game and login with same square enix acc,

[faint flare]

Plus daily roulettes help keep you ahead of the curve regardless

[dim quarry]

then whats the point road to 70

[spare girder]

do u guys know if toons carry over ?

[faint flare]

The buff overlevels you by a stupid amount

It helps level alt jobs

Makes it less tedious

[boreal storm]

You’re stuck on steam

[dim quarry]

so there we go, i still should have it

[spare girder]

damm, i tought so xD

[jade quartz]

Later you can change their classes which changes their stat spreads, so yeah

Pick your favourites

[spare girder]

i hate having to open steam every time and not having the game pined its anoying 😄

[dim quarry]

if im serious about playing this game then starting the game without Road to 70 will be silly.

[boreal storm]

Once your squad members hit 51, I think, you can glamour them

[wispy peak]

is ffxiv quick launcher allowed?

[dim quarry]

whats the difference of Chaos and Light in the server selector?

[jade quartz]

In this Discord?

!faq quicklauncher you tell me.

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[jade quartz]

By Square Enix? Strictly speaking, as third-party software it is against the User Agreement.

[rain tusk]

I got everything up and running again. I haven’t played since 2017. Started the MSQ at on my 60 scholar. Anything I need to know?

[green grail]

probably find a dummy and see what all your skills do

[dim quarry]

is MSQ voice acted?

[boreal storm]

Sometimes

[rain tusk]

Did that! Do I just follow through the MSQ now? Any thing I should be doing for extra exp and what not?

[scarlet arrow]

in ARR it's spotty whether or not there is voice acting

[dim quarry]

and thats upto 50?

[scarlet arrow]

once you get to expansion stories they tend to be voiced throughout

[open ember]

Most of the scenes are voice acted

[dim quarry]

thanks

[open ember]

Maybe about 85%

[boreal storm]

Nothing really, it’s just that Moogle and Shiva have a sizable French & German population respectively

[alpine shadow]

that's exaggerating a bit

i think around 50% when following just the msq would be the number

[stable grail]

Hello, was quest "change of arms" 1st quest into laws order relics?

i mean, 2nd weapon appearance

[leaden ginkgo]

is it possible to have english voice acting but german subtitles?

[jade quartz]

Yes, set client language to German when launching but change ingame sound settings to have voice acting be English.

[leaden ginkgo]

oh nice thanks i will do that

[trail charm]

any help will be appreciated or if anyone encounters it earlier

[leaden ginkgo]

i cant find the ingame settings

[jade quartz]

System Configuration > Other Settings > Language settings

Cutscene audio

[leaden ginkgo]

ohhh found it thanks 😄

[crimson edge]

is there a party finder system in the discord? Im looking for some people to help me with the Anima light farm

[jade quartz]

#603040697884475393

[bleak solar]

what data center do I join/what server? I'm in NA west coast, preferably whichever one has the biggest population I guess

[boreal storm]

Any

[bleak solar]

can I play with people on different ones?

[open ember]

Biggest? Gilgamesh

[boreal storm]

In your same cluster yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

can i start free trial on steam and than eventually upgrade it with -60% bundle?

[bleak solar]

oh so I can play with anyone on aether?

[open ember]

Yes

[faint flare]

You play with everyone on the same Data centre

[boreal storm]

If you’re on aether

[faint flare]

With cross server matching and world visit

[faint flare]

Yes, you can hold the code forever

[leaden ginkgo]

so thats just codes, doesnt matter if its on sale? ok thx

[faint flare]

It does

Cause that's when you get the code

After you buy it

[leaden ginkgo]

trial into this works ye? https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9957/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Online_Complete_Edition/

[boreal storm]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes your progress is carried over

[leaden ginkgo]

its like 100% of current content in ff ye?

[faint flare]

Until November yes

[leaden ginkgo]

ok ok thanks

[gaunt hinge]

Is there a website that generate macro for 5.5, 3 and 4 stars gears? The one i have stop at neo-ishgardian.

[leaden ginkgo]

btw theres 30day game time in this bundle too ye?

[faint flare]

Yes because it gives the Base game

[leaden ginkgo]

so its rly cheap to buy ff14 now lol

[boreal storm]

The 30 days only start when you register the full game, so only do so when you’re ready

[leaden ginkgo]

does it work if i buy the steam version and have the moogle version?

[faint flare]

Only If you're trial

Otherwise no

[leaden ginkgo]

probably i wont like it anyway, but no reason not to try trial xD

[leaden ginkgo]

i am soo

how would i connect it?

[faint flare]

Then you can go to steam

Buy the game and put the code into mogstation

[bleak solar]

it put a star next to the crystal data center, does that mean I should play on that one for the best connection?

[open ember]

No

[faint flare]

That just means it's your current data centre

That you have selected

[open ember]

All NA DCs are in California

Regardless of what you pick you'll have a good connection there

[leaden ginkgo]

but if i buy it on steam where would i get the code from?

[bleak solar]

oh, okay. so gilgamesh is a good server to pick just for population purposes?

[open ember]

If you want

[jade quartz]

No

Server populations are balanced

[faint flare]

It would go into your Steam keys

Like any other steam game

[open ember]

Population ultimately doesn't really matter

[jade quartz]

And population doesn't matter anyway since all content is done crossworld across the whole datacentre, and you can freely travel to other worlds on your datacentre for open world stuff.

[open ember]

Just pick any server

[leaden ginkgo]

wait i can see the steam key of all my games?

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

didnt knew that lol

[faint flare]

Right click the game in your Steam library

Steam keys

[boreal storm]

It also pops up the first time you click on it after installation

[leaden ginkgo]

ohh okay thanks that rly helps me out

any idea how long the sale lasts?

[faint flare]

July 8th

Iirc

[open ember]

Yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

kk thanks 😄

[elfin wagon]

is there a faster way 2 lvl btn than diadem bc im losin it

[open ember]

Leves

Gatherer leves

[boreal storm]

GC turn ins

[elfin wagon]

oki

[spare girder]

so i figure out steam full version of the game is unavailable, even tho se version is available, so i wanted to copy my toon looks over and start anew , and i have to buy the full version on steam to even copy my toons looks...

i really dont wanna quit a week in but damm boi

[mild fox]

Question for steam players.

[slate arrow]

You can't use character settings across accounts

HOWEVER

you can copy the files locally

[spare girder]

ohhh

ye ye i get u

locally xD

some folders to be opened

[mild fox]

Currently the complete edition AND shadowbringers are both on sale.
As I've purchased all expansions up to stormblood I see the following prices.
COMPLETE Edition: 10,07 Euro
Shadowbringers 14 Euro.

it doesn't make sense since ShB is included in the complete edition

[open ember]

It is

[slate arrow]

Also for the most part character creation in this game makes it real easy to just copy the looks

[open ember]

Complete edition has everything

[mild fox]

But, why would anyone purchase ShB then?

only by mistake?

[open ember]

Because it comes with Stormblood

[green grail]

cause they already own starter edition

[faint flare]

Complete edition physically doesn't work

If you own the game

Already

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

steam sales are weird

[mild fox]

I apologize for spaghetti

[open ember]

i like how you have it ignored lmao

[slate arrow]

i already own the game :V

[open ember]

Its ok i did the same

[mild fox]

ignored what?

[open ember]

Not you

[mild fox]

oh, soz

[slate arrow]

also, steam's 'complete edition' is just Starter + ShB bundled together

so 'upgrading' is just you buying the latest expansion

[mild fox]

yeah, but let's assume you lack stormblood or even hw.

[slate arrow]

shb comes with them

HW comes with starter now

[mild fox]

you'd still want to purchase the complete edition, would it be cheaper than shb even then?

[alpine shadow]

you can't buy complete edition if you already own starter edition

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys! I tried samurai yesterday….was not my cup of tea so I’m trying red mage now😂 I’ve been watching some videos on red mage and I don’t really understand some of the terminology can someone help?

Ik GCD means global cool down which if I understand is your “role” abilities. But what does oGCD mean? What does spell weaving mean? Is that a combo? Also is an opener just a starting combo to your main combos? Sorry for the questions😅

[slate arrow]

thaun this is about steam not standalone

[alpine shadow]

the price changes depending on that though if you buy the package

[slate arrow]

steam uses different rules

it's stupid

[alpine shadow]

you don't need to buy the package

[slate arrow]

!faq weaving

[zinc orbit]

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

[jade quartz]

oGCD = off-global-cooldown

[jade quartz]

Weaving = using one to two oGCDs in between two GCDs.

[open ember]

Even if you attempt to buy the package it'd adjust to what you own already

[slate arrow]

for steam, when it comes to bundles, if you already own it partially steam automatically discounts the rest for you

[jade quartz]

Opener = the order in which you use your skills at the start of a fight.

[mild fox]

It seems that the difference will be based on the fact that they apply 28% discount on the already discounted Shd

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh man that’s overwhelming

[alpine shadow]

for me, buying the complete package is cheaper than buying actual shadowbringers https://img.thaun.dev/o4ksj.png

[faint flare]

It's mostly core game mechanics, weaving off globals

All jobs do it

[mild fox]

me too, that's why I was in doubt

[alpine shadow]

then you can go with package

[mild fox]

do you play fighting games?

[slate arrow]

Red Mage is a bit hard starting off because you unlock it with it's full core kit at 50

[versed jetty]

Hello everyone, i've been searching for a settiings that is related, but i can't find it, is there a way to hide that ?

[slate arrow]

no

[mild fox]

think of it as keeping up combos, it's ok if you screw up every now and then while learning

[open ember]

No because that tells you who has aggro. You need it

No way to remove it

[slate arrow]

also tells you who you'll target if you use target target of target keybind

[leaden ginkgo]

I just came from ESO but ESO’s combat system has nothing on FF’s combat by the look of it

[leaden ginkgo]

So I’m decent

[slate arrow]

functionally it's the same as LA weaving in ESO

[versed jetty]

Sad :( Thanks for the answers though o/

[slate arrow]

except instead of 1 LA between GCDs

it's 2 oGCDs between 1 GCD

*some jobs have less due to clipping, but it's usually 2

*and by less, I mean only 1 oGCD on the faster jobs like Monk, Samurai, and Ninja. Also Dragoon with Jumps and Bard under GCD buff

this game also has the same light attack guarentee with animations, if you press the button it's guarenteed to come out unless it's channeled, but no jobs use channeled abilities or skills/spells 99% of the time

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmmm ok, so what’s the difference between oGCD and GCD? Is one job abilities and the other is role based?

[slate arrow]

no

[faint flare]

Off globals have their own Cooldown

[slate arrow]

oGCDs are abilities

they have their own cooldown

[faint flare]

Gcds share Cooldown

[slate arrow]

GCDs are Weaponskill and Spells, which are all on the same cooldown

it's why they're called Global COoldowns

[keen marsh]

hey, i have a possibly very nooby question! :--D can you customize your character's chosen hair colour/hair style/skin colour/etc in game at all after character creation? 🤔

[lavish sierra]

how do i open the challenge log

[slate arrow]

yes, just a short sidequest in Limsa to unlock the stylist

[cunning loom]

you can using a fantasia

[faint flare]

Yee. Hair stuff is via aesthetician

[keen marsh]

ah, thank you!!

[cunning loom]

skin colour/features are fantasia

hair colour/whatnot can be changed easily

[keen marsh]

i was very worried i was stuck to only having one hairstyle lmao

[random girder]

for example on my nin bar, you can see shadow fang is a global cooldown and trick attack is an ogcd

as in, if i had suiton buff i could use trick attack during this weave window between gcds

[slate arrow]

Each job has in the ballpark of about 24 skills and abilities they should have on their bar

which includes the main combo, as well as weaved abilities

[mild fox]

for those interested: if you still need ShB on steam, you can purchase the complete edition on steam and it will cost 28% less

[lavish sierra]

how do i open the challenge log?

[slate arrow]

each job has a unique kit, but you can fit some buttons in the same place per role

[random girder]

logs -> challenge log

[slate arrow]

did you do the unlock quest

[random girder]

this one

[lavish sierra]

yes pog thanks

[random girder]

and yeah do the quest first lol

[rain tusk]

Should I be sticking strictly to MSQ at 60 or is it wise to do side quests? just looking to get from 60-80 without lagging in experience to keep up with story

[slate arrow]

do you have the road to 70 buff

[leaden ginkgo]

i have installed steam free trial, made account and now it asks me for registration code lol

[rain tusk]

@slate arrow Where do I get that or know I have it?

[slate arrow]

you don't

you don't have to worry about sidequests either way

as the sidequests at 60 don't give much EXP anyways

if you need EXP, that's what roulettes are for

[rain tusk]

AH okay. Ty.. where can I get road to 70 buff?

[slate arrow]

you can't

[scarlet arrow]

you have to start a new character on a preferred server

[rain tusk]

Oooh okay.

Np 🙂

[scarlet arrow]

You don't really need the buff to stay leveled with the story anyway

[rain tusk]

Okay, ty 🙂

[scarlet arrow]

there's one instance toward the end of ARR where the MSQ level increases dramatically and you may have to do a few dungeons to catch up

otherwise it's pretty smooth

[rain tusk]

For sure. I am 60 already and gone through all that. Started the Stormblood MSQ

[scarlet arrow]

then you're good 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

45gb, "may takes few minutes" kekw

[rain tusk]

nice!

[glacial isle]

all (dungeon) bosses automatically break Hide right?

[slate arrow]

yes since they all basically have "true sight"

there's some exceptions in ARR but well

it's ARR

[stable grail]

loathsome memories of the dying, did they change this one to drop 5x?

[ripe hound]

Are there any use for Hide outside of Mudra Refresh?

[slate arrow]

trick attack but like

that's what suiton is for

[glacial isle]

only asking cause i'm lvl 19 and Captain Sastasha has True Sight

apparently

[leaden ginkgo]

Not that I know of but there are plenty of pics online if you look it up, so you may find a char that looks like yours?

[lilac flume]

is the steppe the highest lvl far east region, or is it the northern part of yanxia?

[slate arrow]

northern part of yanxia

[leaden ginkgo]

The 18,000 marks isn’t as much as it seems though, since you can get at least 1500 a day just by doing daily frontline. And the exp from that is great anyway, so you could just go for it honestly?

[noble echo]

Hello - what's the fastest lvl60 dungeon?

[patent citrus]

antitower

[noble echo]

that should give me the thing for Resistance right?

[patent citrus]

yeah, or you can use this method

[noble echo]

haven't really tried bozja yet. i'll try to look for a party. Thanks for the tip

[astral bolt]

Are bonus that much more important than raw stats?

[patent citrus]

main stats*

tank main stats is vitality

and the gear on the right has higher vitality

[astral bolt]

but I lose out 22 defense each

[stray zephyr]

1 point of vit isnt going to be a game changer for you, stay with the higher defense

[cunning loom]

recommended gear button can be dumb at times

[patent citrus]

that amount of defense is not a game changer either

not even 1% more reduction with those little difference

get the one on the right

https://www.akhmorning.com/allagan-studies/stats/defense/

[cunning loom]

change it to level 40 data

it's at least 1% i guess

but like they said, doesn't matter

[solid fog]

You can only send squadrons on level 40 missions once per day ?

I just completed a tier 3 mission and the whole list went gray

3rd tab, once per week

after one successful mission

[solid fog]

per week!? damn and i thought i could farm my squadron levels like that

[cunning loom]

yeah you'll have to stick to the tier 2 missions

[spare girder]

@slate arrow hey mate sry to bother you, i made a new acc and started on windows version, i found some files in the steam version, is ''FFXIV_CHARA_01.dat'' the character customization file, and if so do i just upload it to the desktop version?

[amber arrow]

does it matter what server your fc is on? I dont really know how fcs work at all

[solid fog]

Yes

[faint flare]

Fcs are server only

[cunning loom]

you can only join an fc in your server

[faint flare]

Not cross world

[amber arrow]

alrighty ty

[slate arrow]

@spare girder I'm afraid I don't know. Try #technology-discussion ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[solid fog]

they should make a mega server where all na and eu and jp and oce is all together in one giant server(im jking but imagine)

[barren granite]

can the macros be detailed enough to trigger a heal potion when health reaches a certain number ?

[spare girder]

kk mate, tnx 😄

[cunning loom]

no

[ripe hound]

No, macro cannot be triggered and can’t have if statements

[stray zephyr]

all your configs should be in "C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn" if steam client goes about it the same way as windows

[spare girder]

it does, but idk what file format character looks are tho xD

[stray zephyr]

make a backup of the folder jic when you reinstall, but as long as your files are there I would assume no matter windows or steam, it will pull your configs from same location

[stone stone]

Is XIVLauncher safe to use?

[faint flare]

Yes

It's open source

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi I'm new on FF just wondering if you buy the shadowbringer but don't have the other expansion the site what saying the 2 expansion will be free??

[faint flare]

It ONLY gives you stormblood

Starter edition gives you heavensward

You need starter edition and Shadowbringers together for everything

[open rivet]

Base game grants Heavensward for Free,
buying Shadowbringers grants Stormblood for free.

[faint flare]

Alternatively complete edition is the same thing

[stray mason]

how do I add teleport location favourites?

[barren blaze]

hello

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay so I can just get the shadowbringer standard?

[faint flare]

Only if you own the game already

If you're on trial you can't

Trial isn't ownership

You can't use dlc for a game you don't own

[green grail]

it's an option when you interact with the aetheryte you want to favorite

[barren blaze]

need help for halatali dungeon, anyone? (Elemental - Ramuh)

[green grail]

just queue up and you'll get a party, it's part of the leveling roulette

[faint flare]

Remember to check all languages in duty finder settings

[frail stirrup]

Hello everyone! I've just bought the Complete Edition trough Steam, which CD key do I have to input at the Mog Station? The FFXIV Online Starter Edition or Shadowbringers Starter Edition?

[faint flare]

Starter edition first

Then shadowbringers

[frail stirrup]

Okay, thanks!

[stone stone]

Is it really ok to check all languages in duty finder? Can't that create communication problems for harder dungeons?

[faint flare]

Yes it is

[barren blaze]

yeah im doing that but almost one hour i still didnt get a party, so i asking here for a party, if anyone want

[faint flare]

People often don't talk or speak English anyway

Or auto translate

[stone stone]

The game translates stuff?

[faint flare]

With auto translate function yes

Those red and green arrows

[stone stone]

O_o

[faint flare]

That's auto translate

[open rivet]

you can start typing a word, then press tab to bring up the ingame dictionary

[stone stone]

ThATS WHAT THAT MEANS?

[faint flare]

Yes

[stone stone]

mind blown

[faint flare]

That sentence is auto translated

And shows in your games language

[stone stone]

Thats kind of rad

[subtle lily]

It says "You can now accept the next class/job quest." but when i go to the guild, there is nothing.

[open rivet]

note that not everything is in there, just premade phrases

[prisma hill]

So, I have a question. I used to play FF 14 back in 2015... how hard would it be to get back into it, had a l 60 dragoon.

[faint flare]

Lv50+?

[subtle lily]

25

[faint flare]

The quest under the main scenario tracker

[open rivet]

that's just that you reached your unlock level.
check below the main story guide (top left of the screen by default) if there's a quest.

[faint flare]

Is your job quests

And other important stuff

Go do them

[spare cobalt]

How do i go about finding a good FC?

[subtle lily]

I played about a month at launch. Just came back and I'm enjoying it immensely.

[prisma hill]

Another question, I played untill heavensward till l 60, what do I buy...

[faint flare]

Free trial?

Or do you own the game

[prisma hill]

I bought it so can't use free trial on that old account.

had ARR and Heavensward

[boreal storm]

Buy shadowbringers tgen

[faint flare]

Just shadowbringers is all you need

[prisma hill]

https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/product/527935/final-fantasy-xiv-shadowbringers-pc-download

[faint flare]

And a sub If you don't have an active one

[prisma hill]

That one right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[prisma hill]

• 60 days too right? No free 30 days with that one?

[faint flare]

Expansions never give game time

[prisma hill]

😩

It's kind of funny that I can play free trial up to 60, but can't log into my old account

[faint flare]

Trial is a trial...a gym ain't gonna let you in if you dont pay membership

[subtle lily]

gah! How do you send a tell. It says something about world name blah blah

[faint flare]

/R if replying to someone

[subtle lily]

send a tell not reply

[bleak solar]

how hard is it to change your race? i've been stuck on the character screen for like an hour, cant decide what to choose lol

[boreal storm]

You can also right click a person to auto set it up

Pretty sure

[prisma hill]

Think you get a free potion to change race at l 50?

[autumn jetty]

You get one free change when you reach a certain level. you can re-create your entire characters appearance. after that its $10 a pop

[subtle lily]

[boreal storm]

Do you have a chocobo issuance

[faint flare]

The npc told you this

[prisma hill]

In new game +, do you just run between the old quests or just watch the old cinematics?

[outer mural]

some just start and you can't register immediately anymore, like Slice is Right

[faint flare]

You literally redo the story

From that point

[outer mural]

both

cinematics is the book thing in the inn

[prisma hill]

Think you can watch the old quest cinematics from the inn room right?

[outer mural]

NG+ is the entire actual msq as if you're locked behind every quest again

yes

[prisma hill]

or can you do it anywhere?

[outer mural]

inn room only

[vapid spoke]

How long is Shadowbringers?

[random girder]

about as long as the other expansions

[outer mural]

as long as HW and SB were

[prisma hill]

Also how long does it take from 60 to 80

[random girder]

less so in quests but longer in cutscenes/dialogue so it balances out

[whole dock]

Can someone help me understand this — if my SE account is EU-registered, is it not advisable for me to purchase on Steam then?

There is a Steam bundle on sale and Steam games are typically not region-locked so I wonder if the code I get from this will not be able to be registered

[random girder]

heavensward x2

unless oyu mean just leveling

in which case uhhhhh depends on queues and how quick your parties can do dungeons

[prisma hill]

well, main quest + dungeons I guess?

I finished at l 60, should I just push through the main quets to l80?

[random girder]

yes

msq levels you to cap

[faint flare]

It's mandatory

So yes

[prisma hill]

think there is no use to bother with the side quests ?

[faint flare]

Nope

Yellows are just lore

[prisma hill]

besides dungeon runs

!faq questicons

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[silent pike]

Hi, mod asking question. Are there any interesting rewards for custom deliveries besides that dragon mount from Ehll Tou?

[prisma hill]

l 80?

So if my guy is l 60 I won't get it?

[silent pike]

Do any of the other ones give something cool?

[faint flare]

You do

As long as it's under your highest level job

It'd applied

[prisma hill]

Ah right, read it wrong.

[open ember]

Not really

[wispy peak]

whats rested/

[open ember]

Mount is the final reward

[faint flare]

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'

That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

[silent pike]

Well yeah I meant other custom deliveries with that final reward

Or is ehll tou the only one like that

[open ember]

Uh not tbat I know of

[faint flare]

Usually just glamour the npc

Only ehtll is special

[silent pike]

Oh ok just checking

[oak ice]

Only Ehl Tou gives mount

[prisma hill]

How does the endgame look at l 80, just raids and gathering things like tombstones?

[chrome relic]

guys lvl 50 where can i spend my allagan tomestone of poetics at?

[open ember]

I think Ehll Tou is the special one

[faint flare]

Mor Dhona or sundry splendors in main cities

[silent pike]

I'm working on Tou just thinking about who else to work on

[open ember]

I mean you can dress the other npcs?

[faint flare]

Basically. Same as endgame of heavensward really. Forumla hasn't changed much

[open ember]

That's a reward

You can't dress M'naago tho

[prisma hill]

I skipped bahamut when I was playing heavensward, do people also skip the l 70 raids?

[faint flare]

No cause it's required for Shadowbringers relics

For the 24man

Omega is part of Shadowbringers relic steps as well so

[prisma hill]

I'm more casual

[random girder]

and omega has a normal mode

so why not do it

free story

[open ember]

You should prob do the lv70 raids anyway.

[prisma hill]

Don't need the best gear xD

[open ember]

Its content to unlock

[prisma hill]

the normal modes?

[open ember]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes

8man raids have normal modes for story

And entry raid gear

[open ember]

Also not doing the raids gives you a smaller pool for your raid roulettes

[prisma hill]

Won't the gear be worse than some 70+ crafter gear though?

[open ember]

You don't use the gear for those raids

[faint flare]

Normal mode raid gear is equal ilvl to that tiers crafted gear

[prisma hill]

AS I remember, you did normal raids, got something for them to get better gear, which then unlocked the harder raid mode

[open ember]

When tails said its required for shadowbringers relic they meant its a requirement to unlock and complete to get lv80 gear

[prisma hill]

just the normal mode?

[open ember]

Yes

You dont need to complete savage for any of that. Savage is optional

[prisma hill]

through duty finder or do i have to find a party?

It goes lv70 raids -> Bozja (lv80 content) -> Relics (lv80)

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey, question. What are the melds that are shared between jobs in their respective roles

[boreal storm]

Nope

I guess you could do it during a PvP match, but like why

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way to breakdown elemental clusters into shards & crystals?

[green grail]

no

[polar flame]

what's the difference between clear vision and sharp vision 2 for miners?

[green grail]

sharp vision 2 gives you +15% gather chance for all hits on the node, clear vision only for the next single hit

"while gathering" vs "next gathering attempt"

[polar flame]

but clear vision is a level 23 skill while sharp vision is a level 5 skill?

oh, it's the 0% thing I guess

[green grail]

[polar flame]

you can get +15% with clear vision even if it's at 0% I guess

[lavish sierra]

i dont get why i cant dye these leather duckbills orchard brown

[midnight sail]

Can you get kicked from a dungeon by your party?

Even when you're trying your best?

[green grail]

either you don't have the correct dye or the item is undyable

[random girder]

yes and yes

[faint flare]

Yes. People can vote dismiss for whatever reason

[random girder]

the only reason they should be kicking you is if you are playing poorly and dont listen to advice

[green grail]

yes there's a votekick function, i believe 2 votes is enough in a 4man party

[random girder]

if they just kick because they dont like you, that might be reportable

[boreal storm]

Most people will only kick you if you’re really bad

[green grail]

since it's a 3 person vote

[midnight sail]

My girl got kicked and she's new to mmo's

😦

[random girder]

hmmm

[midnight sail]

o well

[random girder]

were the party members saying anything in chat

what role does she play

further kicks are definitely preventable with some tips

[cunning loom]

yeah

[boreal storm]

Did she have a job stone equipped, if she has them

[random girder]

bc if she got kicked shes doing something really wrong lol

[midnight sail]

i duno, she told me afterwards. She's a new player, so she prob didn't notice

[cunning loom]

first step is to check out the hall of the novice

if she hasn't already

then if she's brand, brand new guildhests are a great way to start instanced content

[midnight sail]

What's Hall of the novice?

[random girder]

also what level is she

[lavish sierra]

how do i know if an item is dyeable in the shop?

[random girder]

if she was doing a 30+ dungeon without a job stone that is absolutely kickable

[green grail]

if you feel like you got kicked without reason then feel free to send a support desk ticket for inappropriate behaviour

[tacit river]

does the free trial have a limited time

[random girder]

no

[cunning loom]

it's in the exclamation icon button

[midnight sail]

She's lvl 35*

[random girder]

ok

[cunning loom]

i think you unlock it by talking to someone next to your first dungeon entrance too

[random girder]

she should go do her job quests

[jovial quarry]

Hall of the Novice is an instanced tutorial that shows you the basics of each role type.

[tacit river]

ok thx emerald

[random girder]

because she probably didnt have her job stone

[midnight sail]

yea, i'll check her acc later

thanks guys

[random girder]

if she does have it and got kicked, she may have been just spammign cure

if shes a healer

if not, then idk

[midnight sail]

She was spamming cure

[random girder]

yeah dont do that lol

healers should dps over healing

[cunning loom]

or starting fights first without the tank pulling

[random girder]

heal onyl when people get low

[midnight sail]

I'm sure she's that type of healer

[cunning loom]

that's also possible

[faint flare]

After getting cure 2. You stop using Cure

[midnight sail]

but it was a low lvl dungeon 😦

[boreal storm]

You have attacks, use them

[random girder]

still adds up

[midnight sail]

yea

[random girder]

a healer doing dps makes a dungeon several mins faster

[tacit river]

how does the atack system work

[random girder]

what do you mean

like, auto attacks?

[faint flare]

Healers that only heal aren't liked by many around here

[cunning loom]

but yeah people can kick for silly reasons sometimes

[tacit river]

yes

[boreal storm]

Press button, skills go off

[random girder]

if shes familiar with wow then shes gotta unlearn healbotting here, healers dps 90% of the time

the best healers minimize using heals

most of their casts are dps

because if someone isnt dead, then theres no problem

[random girder]

auto attacks start happening when you right click an enemy or use a weaponskill/spell on them

[tacit river]

are all regular atacks auto

[random girder]

no

auto attacks are just passive damage on physical dps

they happen automatically

thus, auto attacks

[boreal storm]

It only really matters with melee, tanks, and ranged dps

[random girder]

you dont have to think about them at all

[boreal storm]

And even then they don’t matter

[warm snow]

Caster auto attacks hit at the very most 3 digits even at level 80

[random girder]

yeah i get like

120 on direct crits on rdm

which is nothing when normal spells do between 20k and 50k

more if its finishers/burst combo and even more if they crit

[tacit river]

so when i do regular atacks it locks on then atacks

[random girder]

yes just do your rotation and they happen automatically

[tacit river]

byitself

[random girder]

yes

[glossy flare]

you need to have aggro on something for autos to happen afaik

that's the only condition (+ range ofc)

[tacit river]

but everthing else isint auto

[random girder]

yes

[glossy flare]

correct

[tacit river]

ok thx

[random girder]

like i said, if youre doing your rotation youre doing autos automatically as well

[boreal storm]

You need to pay attention

Correct

[random girder]

even if youre just spamming your first combo hit (dont do this)

autos will go off

[warm snow]

Nope

You just have to have activated auto attacks

[tacit river]

and the free trial isint timed right

[random girder]

it is not

infinite time until lv 60

[warm snow]

Any weaponskill activates auto attacks

[tacit river]

ok thx

[random girder]

and includes a realm reborn and the critically acclaimed and award winning expansion heavensward

[glossy flare]

So even if you deal 0 dmg (for whatever reason) you start doing autos? good to know I guess

[warm snow]

It's how careless ranged dps are the bane of countdowns

[glossy flare]

So that's how that always happens...

Imma have a talk withour dnc I guess

[warm snow]

If you play controller and press x after targetting an enemy and get the arrows in a circle icon over the enemy

[glossy flare]

[warm snow]

That's auto attacks activated

Said icon also appears under their healthar

[vital ruin]

so i was doing some alliance raids as WAR. i wasn't in stance and i kept getting the aggros. Can WAR out DPS, DPS jobs?

[faint flare]

If they're shit

[vital ruin]

i mean then any tank can out dps if dps is shit

[random girder]

yes

[vital ruin]

even healer can out dps if dps is shit

[faint flare]

If people are doing their jobs tanks don't out dps dps jobs

[vital ruin]

i c

[trail wave]

Similar question
I was doing The Wanderer's palace, and I was the tank PLD. And I just couldn't get aggro of any mob this one person was attacking. Is it really possible for him to get more emnity than me despite all the emnity multipliers? With stance and everything

[faint flare]

What mob

[warm snow]

Tomahawk does have a notable aggro multiplier

[trail wave]

Tonberries

[warm snow]

Remember that tank stance is turned off when you level sync

[faint flare]

Big ones?

[warm snow]

The big ones can't be aggroed

[faint flare]

Or the small ones

[warm snow]

Or targetted

[trail wave]

No, the small one

[faint flare]

Big ones can't be targetted at all

Small follow normal mob aggro

Hit them

[trail wave]

It was funny af, I thought my stance was bugging

[faint flare]

Or hell voke or whatever

[vital ruin]

provoke maybe

[trail wave]

Wait fr? Didn't know this

[faint flare]

Yes

Do pay attention

It's on your job gauge for a reason

[trail wave]

I mean, I turn the stance on

I know because I always check myself before starting hahahah

[limpid glacier]

do you get a mount in free trial?

[glossy flare]

yup

several in fact

!faq mount

[zinc orbit]

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.

And poor always follows excellent

Which is how Trick protection works in macros

[leaden ginkgo]

that makes crafting high quality a bit of a pain on lower level items since I end up crafting in 1-3 synths

I was hoping I could predict it

[faint flare]

If you know how many synths it takes then you know how many touches you can do

[leaden ginkgo]

True but since condition is random I could end up with a buncha normals and only get around 20%

Maybe I need better gear? Idk

That do be rng

Better gear and more Cp always helps

[leaden ginkgo]

mm I’ll try for better gear then. these quests asking for hq are kinda annoying lmao

[crystal bluff]

Using HQ ingredients helps

[wooden cape]

seems like a west coast VPN could more than quadruple my download speed. Anyone know if there's any security risks if I ask my friend to use their VPN for a bit to download this game faster than 10 hours?

[crystal bluff]

Or you may be able to buy the thing itself for cheap on the MB

[leaden ginkgo]

That must be what I’m missing then. I didn’t think it made a difference

That’s also a viable option, if I had the gil lol

[crystal bluff]

Using full HQ materials starts you at 50% quality

[leaden ginkgo]

WHAT

hey how do you upgrade your free trial to regular version?

[random girder]

buy the complete edition

on steam if youre on steam, on se store if not

[crystal bluff]

Or the starter edition

[patent viper]

Do u normaly get a Fantasia after ARR questline?

[random girder]

[random girder]

yup

[leaden ginkgo]

yes one and one only

[random girder]

so use it wisely

[leaden ginkgo]

if my buddy gets shadowbringers will he get the full game with it?

[stray mason]

What are the prices/options like for FC housing?

[crystal bluff]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

he already has the steam version

don’t be like me who used 4 in a week after the free one

[boreal storm]

You have to buy everything

[random girder]

[crystal bluff]

Ypu have to buy the game, then the dlc
Or just buy the compete edition

[patent viper]

i finished ARR to the credits and didnt get it :S

[random girder]

if he has starter, then he can just get shb

[leaden ginkgo]

Talk to minfilia

@random girderhe has the base game, but he had to get free trial to try it out again

[faint flare]

Turn in the quest after

[random girder]

he can get shadowbrinmgers on the account that has it

[faint flare]

It's a quest reward for the thing you just did

[patent viper]

did turn the quest in

where do will i get that potion in inventory?

[faint flare]

Yes it goes to your bags

It will be there

[leaden ginkgo]

@random girderdoes that include the base game?

[faint flare]

/Isearch Fantasia

[leaden ginkgo]

You will. Minfilia points it out in dialogue, so you won’t miss it if you don’t have it yet.

[random girder]

no. you need the starter edition and shadowbringers

which is the complete edition

[upper pendant]

Okie doki thank u

[leaden ginkgo]

you go and level through all older expansions in this game as neww player?

[little swift]

yes

the story is one long chain

you go from start to end

[leaden ginkgo]

finishing main story is mandatory?

[boreal storm]

Very

[heavy wadi]

It very much is mandatory

[boreal storm]

If you want to do any of the cool stuff

[light meadow]

has anyone else had a problem loading into the game today?

[polar flame]

nope

whats the point of doing the gatherer job quests? gear? the levequests give much more exp

[hot eagle]

skills, gear and exp

[polar flame]

skills, really?

[heavy wadi]

For fsh especially, you need to do your job quests

[polar flame]

I haven't gotten a single one

[heavy wadi]

The few skills it does give are in the sb job quest range

[light meadow]

I can't return or teleport anywhere. it just says invalid target

[polar flame]

i mean the exp is awful compared to levequests

so I just assume I get some good skill down the line

[boreal storm]

You don’t do them for the exp

[polar flame]

when do you get skills for miner?

[obsidian patio]

50+

[polar flame]

ty

[obsidian patio]

The level 70 quest is especially powerful since it increases your GP regen per tick by 1, which is a 20% increase.

[ripe sorrel]

what does a level 90 weapon coffer mean?

should i save it until im lvl 90 or just open it

[marsh obsidian]

I haven't played in about 6 months
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Loathsome_Memory_of_the_Dying

I'm currently on this step for relic weapons. About how much time will I need to spend to finish the resistance weapons questline?

[little swift]

that should mean item level 90, which isn't your equip level requirement

just open it on the job you want to use it on

[little swift]

you'll need 15 of those, 18/18 haunting/vexatuious memories, then 15 timeworn fragments, then 30/30 30/30 30/30 of various bullshit, then 15 raw emotions

depending on your luck and time

it can take you a bit of time to complete

but its definitely doable over a couple days

assuming you don't want to burn out

[marsh obsidian]

I probably won't burn out. Just wanted to know how far behind I was 😅

anyway ty! A couple days sounds reasonable

[restive wharf]

uh

Is there any reason for the hall of novices not to spawn?

Like, the npc isn't there

I just hit 16 on my 2nd class and I can't find one

[past rock]

Whats the fastest way to level up to level 50? (Its my second job and my first one is lvl 54)

[restive wharf]

wait nvm

[glass solar]

Is there any limit on which fates i can do to get the items required for the Atma Zodiac relic?

[glass solar]

tried asking my FC but nobody had the answer :c

[sleek needle]

They're all as fast, but faster queues on tank and Healer

[random girder]

no, you just have to do fates in certain areas iirc

saved this a bit ago bc i plan to do warrior relic lol

[glass solar]

wait what?

do i have to get the drop from every location?

[random girder]

i dont know

get whatever the quest tells you to, thats just the locations

i havent done it myself yet

[glass solar]

ahw

[astral bolt]

do food effects stack?

or do new ones replace the old ones?

[glass solar]

was hoping i'd be able to do it with some relevant fates instead of lvl20~50 fates with no exp :c

[oak ice]

You can double the duration by eating food twice but it doesn't give more stats

[sacred oracle]

I want to confirm that for hairstyle i can change in game without using real money right?

[faint flare]

[sacred oracle]

If i want to change it i dont have to pay for that 7euro thing

[oak ice]

Right, yes, aesthetician

[sacred oracle]

Does it have all hair style? And color too?

[restive wharf]

[obsidian patio]

[leaden ginkgo]

hey, so, when I was playing through heavensward I ended up picking the wrong augmented hellfire set, Im playing dragoon and I can't equip the pieces that I got. Now I gotta do Baelsar's wall, but I can't, because my item level is too low
what am I supposed to do now ?

[obsidian patio]

Buy shire g3sr in Idyllshire

[heavy wadi]

firstly, you should've gotten the shire gear

[random girder]

or in ishgard at sundry splendors

[late coyote]

just finished making my char and such and asking me to choose a world 2 of the worlds says it has extra xp but they're not taking more players how long approx does it take for them to open and is it even worth trying to get in there?
