questions-and-help

[hasty sand]

Simply because it's able to hit hard... and that's about it

[leaden ginkgo]

Really depends on the person. Some people click with certain playstyles much easier than others.

[past echo]

🤔

is there a way to try out the job or nah

[open ember]

Difficulty is really subjective. You'd have to try out the classes then make a decision from there

[hasty sand]

You can play every job

[dire prawn]

Unlocking it

[hasty sand]

on a single character

[past echo]

https://tenor.com/view/dying-monkey-dying-gif-13123180

damn

[cunning swift]

they really need a job trial thing

[past echo]

likeWoWcough

[sterile parcel]

[open ember]

Not really needed since you can unlock all of them

[chrome island]

Is there a good way to determine which job would be best fit for me? I’m considering doing one of the leveling books, but I definitely wouldn’t buy all of them, so I’d have to pick one, but I’m not sure how to choose. it’s for my character that I used my story skip book on

[past echo]

but dont you gotta level em

[cunning swift]

like playing a level at 80

[sterile parcel]

go into PoTD or something to try it

[cunning swift]

is much different from unlocking them at 1

[boreal storm]

We do, it’s called PvP

[cunning swift]

this games pvp does not seem alive

[past echo]

oh yeah huh

[boreal storm]

Look at all these skills you may or may not use in the future

[leaden ginkgo]

PvP is more like a side game

[hasty sand]

Red Mage Best Mage

[twilit arch]

pvp isn't going to give you an idea of how a job plays at lvl 80

[cunning swift]

yeah also

[patent citrus]

yeah i was surprised to find out pvp dreadwyrm trance need 2 aetherflow to activate x_x

[sterile parcel]

oof

[patent citrus]

and each energy drain and tri-disaster gives aetherflow 😂

[sterile parcel]

Vs playing an actual SMN where it works differenly

[chrome island]

Related to my prior question: in your (very subjective) view, what is the best class

[sterile parcel]

PvP is like a fighting game stylistic mode

[dire prawn]

White Glare Mage

[leaden ginkgo]

I love dragoon for a melee personally.

[sterile parcel]

DRG/SMN are tied

/bias

[chrome island]

DoW and DoM are both options

[leaden ginkgo]

I play a job for each position. Mine are DNC/GNB/RDM/WHM/DRG

[sterile parcel]

HMM.... if I went that route, GNB/WAR are tied, MCH/SMN/AST/DRG

MCH is cushy, it has a nice set rotation, and robots. All I needed

[little swift]

#beginner-lounge for this question

[chrome island]

My bad, sorry about that.

[little swift]

since its a discussion question rather than a strict help/learning question

or even #general-discussion

[chrome island]

So suggestions for classes go in #beginner-lounge? Want to make sure I’m posting in the right place. (I’m staying out of #general-discussion because story spoilers)

[little swift]

nah i'm saying discussion/subjective questions aren't necessarily appropriate for this channel

[chrome island]

Now I’m confused

[dire prawn]

The only suggestion that's relevant for classes is telling somebody to pick one they like thematically/aesthetically

[little swift]

ffxiv-discussion doesn't necessarily have spoilers either

[patent citrus]

would recommend #beginner-lounge

[chrome island]

I’ve already read more plot points I haven’t gotten to than I particularly care to have seen by popping into discussion.

[little swift]

sparking discussion that extended beyond a simple answer should be moved to the other channels

[sterile parcel]

Can confirm that some story spoilers do leak into general XIV discussion

[chrome island]

I’ll go ask in #beginner-lounge

[frank osprey]

I've heard that the new expansion brings a new story/arc. What exactly does this mean? Is the world going to change? Old world or quest not accessible?

[leaden ginkgo]

The world isn't going to change at all, it was confirmed in a recent interview

[jovial quarry]

The ending of 6.0 will mark the ending of the current story so far. Unlike previous expansions, the content patches will begin a completely new story instead of being an epilogue for the expansion.

[wet grotto]

Can you "queue" macros?

[vital ruin]

hades ex drops 2 totems instead of 1?

[twilit arch]

yes

[twilit arch]

no

[vital ruin]

noice

which other trial drops 2

[open ember]

Hades and Diamond gives 2

[vital ruin]

not sosex?

[open ember]

No

[vital ruin]

dam

[wet grotto]

damn, so if I accidentally use another macro while one is in the process, it'll interrupt the one's that running?

[little swift]

yes unless you use the macro command /macrolock

[leaden ginkgo]

Sage is a healer

[rotund crater]

[rotund crater]

the steam tab in unavailable in there 😦

[hot eagle]

did you download the the right launcher? trial and full launcher are separate

!faq freetrial

[zinc orbit]

Free Trial Limitations

Limitation details
Download

[quaint dirge]

I used Download Demo in steam mode

[devout crystal]

During leveling which one gives more experience? Dungeon or Trial?

[open ember]

Dunegon

Trials don't give that much EXP

Also alliance raids give out quite a bit of EXP too

[devout crystal]

Got it. Thank you.

[quaint dirge]

Well link helped, thx

Though '' Download Demo'' is trial

[rotund crater]

i swear to god this game has the least friendly way to register i've ever seen

either that or im just stupid

[quaint dirge]

Amen to that lol

[dire prawn]

What about both?

[wise acorn]

So, 30 of each item for the third step of the bozja weapons.

Is there any way to determine a potential time on how long itll take to acquire each book/part/memory?

[little swift]

depends on your method

if you do queuing into the listed instances, roughly 5-10 minutes per

[hot eagle]

each of the 3 quests is 60 items since its 2 different books/parts/memorys, also yeah time needed varies a lot

[little swift]

if you skirmish hop in zadnor its can be super fast

[dire prawn]

Channy how well-versed are you on Bard

[little swift]

like a minute or 2

probably enough to answer your question tsuya

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a kupobot message for steam accounts? If not I'll write up an faq for it

[little swift]

!faq steam

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV steam version notices

1. Steam launcher integration update
2. Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
3. Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
4. You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.

[forest iron]

I am level 29 but my first mount quest is still red what should i do

[little swift]

how far are you into your msq

what happens when you click the quest

[thorn thicket]

I can’t remember, for PotD and HoH weapons, are there vendors to buy replicas if you discard the originals?

[forest iron]

hmm I am at level24 msq

[dire prawn]

When/how do I use Perfect Pitch during Wanderer's Minuet? I'm doing my 52 BRD quest soon

[twilit arch]

no, you need to exchange aetherpool for grips again if you tossed out the weapons

[forest iron]

Believe in your sylph

[thorn thicket]

Ty

[little swift]

dot ticks build stacks of repertoire, hit pitch perfect at 3 stacks whenever possible and burn whatever you have before you swap songs

[twilit arch]

what does it say when you interact with quest giver for the chocobo quest

[little swift]

have you purchased the chocobo issuance and used it with the npc

[dire prawn]

Does Pitch Perfect trigger GCD roll or is it considered an oGCD

[twilit arch]

its an ogcd

[random girder]

if its an ability its ogcd

except for mudras

[forest iron]

ill go check now

[dire prawn]

So use it with my Heavy Shot spam if/when Wanderer's hits three Repertoire stacks

[forest iron]

I didnt purchase anything, i just farm company seal from duty finder

[random girder]

yes

[little swift]

go to your gc quartermaster and buy the chocobo issuance

you don't need to farm the seals since the next msq after unlock the mount unlock would have given you enough seals

yes pitch perfect is an ogcd weave

[dire prawn]

Do I pair Battle Voice with Wanderer's?

[little swift]

you use BV off cd

not holding it for wanderers

[dire prawn]

Oh

[little swift]

it happens to align with wanderers in the opener though for single target

raging strikes is what you're lining wanderers with

[dire prawn]

Wait why Raging Strikes with Wanderer's?

[little swift]

strongest song

damage buff

[forest iron]

thank you

[little swift]

and they're all 80s cd

[dire prawn]

Do I also use the ability that fires a single-target attack three times with raging strikes?

[little swift]

yes barrage should go inside raging as well

and barrage always with straight shot/ refulgent arrow

since it gives you a free proc of it

and if you were thinking about it, yes you can accidentally barrage a dot

[dire prawn]

I'm still questioning why Straight Shot upgrades before Heavy Shot

[random girder]

i remember the first time i tried barraging my aoe

[dire prawn]

Does Bloodletter consume Barrage?

[random girder]

no

[twilit arch]

no

[random girder]

its an ogcd

[dire prawn]

Oh

[random girder]

barrage is single target weaponskills

which bloodletter is not

[queen cove]

Straightshot / Refulgent were separate skills in 4.0

[random girder]

because its not a weaponskill

[rotund crater]

JESUS CHRIST SOMEONE GIVE ME A COOKIE i managed to finalize my account

im tired and need a smoke already

i think i just paid 10 euro for the steam version that just has... a 30 day sub

did i even need 30 day sub?

[dire prawn]

If you wanted to spend money to keep playing yes

[hot eagle]

cant play without sub

[rotund crater]

so is this diferent than the regular trial?

[crude venture]

does ffxiv have the bond system like wow and RuneScape?

[rotund crater]

i had a trial made through non-steam

and had to make a fresh account to register my steam thing

[dire prawn]

You shouldn't have had to

You can go from non-Steam free trial to Steam paid game

[rotund crater]

non-steam was americas, my steam purchase was EU XD

code wasnt usable

big brain me

[hot eagle]

you could have also gotten the complete edition for like 17/18 atm since its on sale on steam

but yeah now that you have the full version you will also need to pay sub after the free 30 days if you want to play

[rotund crater]

hm theres a shadowbringers for 13 euro

[leaden ginkgo]

If you mean paying for sub time with in-game currency, that would be a no

[hot eagle]

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9957/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Online_Complete_Edition/

[rotund crater]

endwalker is the latest one or is that some
"pre release" thing?

[hot eagle]

but yeah since you own the base game now you would only need shadowbringer

endwalker is preorder

releases in november

[leaden ginkgo]

what are some good things i can craft that i can probably sell at marketboard (early levels)

[rotund crater]

ok fine ill bite, those catgirls look fun to play

[random girder]

do you have the base game

if not g et complete edition

you cant just buy shadowbringers

[rotund crater]

i bought the base first and now shadowbringers

[random girder]

ah ok

youre good then ^^

[rotund crater]

i hope so\

spent the whole morning trying to figure how to actually log in

[crude venture]

Ah shame

[tawny grail]

Are healers expected to contribute to dps?

[random girder]

yes.

dps>healing for healers

only heal if you need to

[tawny grail]

interesting

Thank you

[copper thistle]

is there a hotkey to summon mount

[little swift]

drag and drop the mount into your hotbar

and you can keybind it whatever you want

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a server for fates farming ?

[crude venture]

What’s a decent solo class for pre-shadow content?

[dire prawn]

All of them

[crude venture]

ah nice

[wispy basalt]

None

All of them is Balance

can do the job

[crude venture]

it’s generally recommended to level up your base job to the next tier before starting other jobs right?

[random girder]

just grab jobs as you want to level them

[wispy basalt]

you can level them whatever time you want

[random girder]

its best to pick a main for msq for immersion and efficiency

but like

[wispy basalt]

however pick the job you like the most and do msq

to level it

[crude venture]

Ahh ic

do I just join the other guilds to get the job?

[random girder]

yeah

[dire prawn]

[wispy basalt]

Yep

[crude venture]

and I guess buy some equipment to actually do damage

[random girder]

they give you starter stuff

basically just a wep

[crude venture]

Oo nice, I’ll try all the classes out then

[random girder]

from there you can just do msq as whatever job you pick

[wispy basalt]

have fun !

[random girder]

and that will give you progression gear

[crude venture]

Kinda screwed my self by almost getting to level 20 before thinking about this lol

[random girder]

nahh

i never leveled anything until i was 80 and done with.. 5.2

which was current msq at the time

dont sweat it

[rotund crater]

Ok forgive the wow comparisons but is there a paladin - like class in here?i see gladiators or marauders, some 2handed weapon dps class?

[random girder]

now im leveling everything

drk is 2handed big sword

paladin is

paladin

sword and shield

goes from gladiator

[crude venture]

Nice

[random girder]

marauder goes into warrior which is berserker-type

[rotund crater]

Oh some sort of advanced class then right?

[random girder]

classes evolve into jobs at 30

its less that theyre advanced

and more that classes are baby stuff

[neon holly]

I haven't played in a very long time. I did a 70 boost but I thought it would skip me through the story too? do i have to buy that story skip pass too if i want to do that.... I see this in my logs right now

[random girder]

and you should never use them

[random girder]

yes you have to buy the story skip

but idk you could also just play the story

[neon holly]

so doing that would bring me to the level 70 content so i can level to 80?

[random girder]

yes

[wispy basalt]

yeyes

[neon holly]

i dont remember anything from this so i'd prefer to just start off freshly from 70 to 80 lol

[random girder]

you can do ng+

if you wanna replay

or watch summary videos

yo ucant really start fresh in shb

shb is tying up loose ends from 5 years ago: the expac

[wispy basalt]

you can do new game+ or watch summary videos (Not recomdended)
or you can watch prev cutsence in your inn

[random girder]

new game + is real quick tho

with flying

and being overleveled

[wispy basalt]

^

[random girder]

i got to lv30 arr stuff in like

a day of playing

[wispy basalt]

Ng+ gives exp ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Nope

[wispy basalt]

||Sad||

[random girder]

its just for story

im gonna do it along with a new friend

mostly bc i want to remind myself of arr

expansions im pretty certain i remember everything

[neon holly]

wow i didn't notice there... from $25 to 40. You get x5 boosts instead of 1 lol... i wish i did that instead for a measly $15 more

[rotund crater]

thanks everyone for the help! game is downloading ❤️

[mossy viper]

oh i seee

[neon holly]

actually idk I bought the $25 one

the $25 says scenario skip. that doesn't mean main story?

[shrewd owl]

the 40 dollar one is for retainers

[past echo]

how do i fix this lol
2 of my hotbars just randomly duplicated itself or something idk

[little swift]

Hit the arrows next to the number

You have hotbar switching turned on

So the arrows cycle you through all your bars

[past echo]

ohh im dumb thank you lol

[outer star]

How long does Litore generally take to respawn after it's cleared?

[neon holly]

is there way to find out how far in the story you are from completing that expansion?

[dire prawn]

Google but be wary of doing it because spoilers

[outer star]

In-game, not that I recall though you can track completed quests

[little swift]

One hour by default but skirmishes and ces lower it iirc

[outer star]

Ah cool so I can take a break

[light lion]

Is there a limit to how many hotbars you can use on controller mode?

[dire prawn]

Controller has I believe eight hotbars and you can access three of them pretty much instantly with triggers

[sacred willow]

someone can help with the summoner rotation?

[astral bolt]

appearently people say there'll be an ff15 event rerun, what's the pre-requisite for doing that?

[obsidian patio]

Level 50 and ARR leveling story completed

[astral bolt]

oh neat 😮

[blissful swan]

Registration key for the version i Just bought isnt working, or im doing something wrong because im tired from work

not sure lol

Pc is the version sorry

do i need the Subscription set up as well since im about to do that

[plain python]

does fire stance's damage boost affect thunder damage, Xeno/Foul and Lost Flare Star?

[twilit arch]

no to thunder/xeno/foul, don't think so on lost flare

[dim quarry]

how do you pronounce Louisoix

[leaden ginkgo]

Lou E sah wa

That oix is really hard to type out phonetically

[honest anvil]

do a run of praetorium ... a certain someone will pronounce it for you

but louis soar

[leaden ginkgo]

is it worth using moon flute on BLU?

[blissful swan]

When i try to register use the register code for windows it says it is invalid even after i Copy Paste it to the bar and make sure it is the exact same

even more confused now

[dim quarry]

code for what?

base or expac?

[blissful swan]

wait i have to buy base first dont i

[dim quarry]

where did you bu from?

[blissful swan]

cause i bought Shadowbringers Collecters edition from the Square Enix Store

[fringe lotus]

When you use a Phial of Fantasia does it let you preview your new look with your current outfit?

[leaden ginkgo]

It doesn't sadly. You have to remove all your gear, except your weapon, to change anything

[wintry chasm]

^

[fringe lotus]

[wintry chasm]

Only way I can think of being able to do that is if you are on PC you can download conceptmatrix or whatever it's called now and just change your model to what you want to be there so you can look at it

[blissful swan]

but do i need both the base game AND the expansion to play?
and do i need to put the base registration code in first if so?

[wintry chasm]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

CMtool now, though you can still find it searching for concept matrix

[wintry chasm]

Not getting expansions just means you can't do expansion stuff

Also yes you need starter edition code put in first before the expansions

[fringe lotus]

Just saw an old forum of someone saying make a retainer and put that gear on them. I got an open slot so I guess I can try that out

[wintry chasm]

Oh yeah that's true

Only issue with that though is uh

[blissful swan]

thanks @wintry chasm i didnt want to wait on Support waiting to reply to me for two weeks lol

[wintry chasm]

Your retainer needs to be the right class/level

[wintry chasm]

In case you aren't aware you do have a free trial you can do first

[blissful swan]

how do i do that cause i have on ps4 but ive been told i need a different service account to do windows version

[wintry chasm]

PS4 has its own free trial you can do

You can't do multiple platforms while on the free trial but when you upgrade to full game you can do multiple platforms on the same account

[blissful swan]

what do i do to make sure i upgrade to full game

i assume the shadowbringers collectors edition for windows and full game is a seperate product or no?

[leaden ginkgo]

Collectors editions is just the expansion, plus some goodies included. You'd still need the base game

[light lintel]

Is there any warrior main with a corsair scimitar mouse that's willing to help me with some tips or setups for keybinds and such?

[young steppe]

Does macroing Second Wind and Max Potion work like WoW?

[cobalt pagoda]

can you set the key binds to scroll through your party list with the mouse wheel?

[blissful swan]

so is buying the base game just subbing or what exact product to i need to aquire to do this?

[cobalt pagoda]

buying the base game comes with an 30 day sub, after you need to keep subing after the 30 days are gone

[young steppe]

If you are on trial, make sure you do ALL the QUESTS and get all the classes to 60 FOR FREE before buying anything

[pine onyx]

Do you guys have a video of akito pairs for e10s? I'm only finding akito split strats

[twilit arch]

base game is known as Starter Edition. If you want everything in one fell swoop, you can buy the complete edition which is the Starter Edition plus expansions

[blissful swan]

ok thank you

i probably wouldnt need that explanation if i wasnt so exhausted

but really i appreciate this

i can finally get some sleep after i start the install

[young steppe]

But then again its going to be hard to level your crafting and gatherer

since you wont have retainers

and can't access Market Board

[halcyon gorge]

hey so I just got to the Amaurot trial and i'm only ilvl 407 while i need to be 410 to do it

What could i do to get items to bump up to 410?

[leaden ginkgo]

who's the fastest job action in order

[light lintel]

Marketboard items? :)

[leaden ginkgo]

[glossy flare]

What do you mean by "job action"?

[leaden ginkgo]

fast weapon cast

[glossy flare]

what's weapon cast? :d

[leaden ginkgo]

_>

[glossy flare]

I assume you mean which job is the fastest?

[leaden ginkgo]

y

in order

[glossy flare]

Hm, depends on what you mean by that

high apm or just a fast gcd?

[trail mulch]

what does this mean

[leaden ginkgo]

You ilvl is too low

[glossy flare]

I assume you are trying to queue for something?

in which case yeah, you do not meet the minimum ilvl for whatever you are trying to do

[trail mulch]

im using level 70 whm in potd cuz i queued in wrong

i dont get it how i can be too low ilvl

[glossy flare]

ah then it means you don't have the required aetherpool for whatever floor you are trying to queue for

[trail mulch]

im using gear for level 70

[shut panther]

Did you get your 430 set

[trail mulch]

what is this

[shut panther]

Your actual gear is irrelevant for potd

[halcyon gorge]

no, where would i get that

[glossy flare]

your strength inside potd basically

it's called aetherpool and you can increase it by looting chests inside potd

[trail mulch]

how do i progress then?

[glossy flare]

certain deeper floors have a higher minimum requirement

queue for floors you can with the aetherpool you have

hope to get more aetherpool

[shut panther]

There's an NPC in the Tempest

[trail mulch]

how do i even queue for those?

dont u just go to the next?

[halcyon gorge]

At Ondo?

Or trader at the workbench

[glossy flare]

been a while since I did any potd tbh but if all else fails you should be able to queue at floor 1 again without losing any aetherpool

[shut panther]

That.

[trail mulch]

ive to restart from 1???

[halcyon gorge]

k ty

[quaint dirge]

Can i get help, this is weird, it say bonus exp for new players on louisoix, but that server is full and I can't choose it??

[warm snow]

For e12s anyone know what tps is?

[warm snow]

!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.

[glossy flare]

Again, been a while since I did potd I don't have the interfaces handy

Just talk to the NPC and see if you can queue for a lower floor

[quaint dirge]

So can I later change server? My frnd's are playing there, they arent online so can't ask tem...

[glossy flare]

You need to anyway, you need more aetherpool

[trail mulch]

is there anywhere i can find a guide for this

[glossy flare]

You can only change your homeworld via cash

[warm snow]

I can answer that, for money

[trail mulch]

its super confusing to me

[glossy flare]

Well basically you need to complete floor 1-50 first before you can queue directly for certain ranges

[quaint dirge]

Fml, from wow dying server to FF with full server that I can't choose lol

[glossy flare]

But if you don't loot enough silver chests before you can (which can happen, they are random after all) you just need to start from floor 1 again and loot more silver chests

actually maybe we have an faq for that

!faq potd

[zinc orbit]

Deep Dungeon Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

[glossy flare]

That link there should explain most of it

[glossy flare]

Serverlocks are not a long term thing

Basically the game prevents creation of new characters during high activity

So your luck may improve during off hours

[quaint dirge]

oh, thx

[rotund crater]

anyone seen this before?

crashes the game if i press ok

[limpid glacier]

is AST very complicated to play?

[obsidian patio]

cards can be a bit tricky to get used to doing fast, but the kit makes it easy to use your abilities without clipping your GCD with most of your spells having a cast time less than 2.5 seconds.

[fast hull]

um question can a pld cover and hallow ground? does that combo work?

[obsidian patio]

it doesn't.

you'll take still damage from the person you're covering

[fast hull]

oh I think I would like try that titania with all all 2 adds are attacking me , 1 tank down and 1 add is attacking the healer

thanks for the info

[leaden ginkgo]

[leaden ginkgo]

apm

like spamming button fast

[glossy flare]

NIN (but only really during bursts), MCH and BRD

probably in that order, I don't have a statistic ready but they are close enough so it shouldn't matter too much

[agile laurel]

[outer star]

So to learn cold fog from the burn, do you need to actually take the hit by leaving one of the adds alive or will killing them be enough?

[agile laurel]

@leaden ginkgo

[agile laurel]

gotta take the hit, yes

[outer star]

Oh damn

[agile laurel]

been there done that

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks !

Going NINYY

Hey, I was right about the order 😄

[rose holly]

What's a good use for RDM's Swiftcaft?

[leaden ginkgo]

most mch skills just upgrades

i was hoping for new skills

hopefully in ew

[obsidian patio]

you can use it to skip a jolt for a minor damage boost.

[naive ridge]

Rezzing or putting out an extra spell to you 40/40 or 80/80

[agile laurel]

fishing for procs. use on veraero/thunder 1 on cooldown

[wispy basalt]

theres a lot of ways to use it

[vapid tulip]

people ben telling me that this game's lore is a big thing and you should pay attention to it, and I'm running the MSQ. I'm reading it so far, and a lot of it is just "go here, do this, come back, etc".. When does the story get to the point where I should start paying attention

[leaden ginkgo]

[hushed portal]

is there a way to delete my old realm reborn account so i could play the free trial?

[obsidian patio]

Around titan's arc is when it starts to pick up

[rose holly]

Thank you all ^_^ That helps

[agile laurel]

you're probably still in ARR. by all accounts it's a bit rough and tedious, but it's necessary in setting up the world

[obsidian patio]

you'd have to make a brand new account to get back on the trial.

[oak ice]

You could just make a new email

[wispy basalt]

you need a new email account

[hushed portal]

Ahh alright its a shame you can't just use the older account i never made it far anyway

[wispy basalt]

^^

[vapid tulip]

Gotcha, cool.

Another question -- When does the GCD or combat overall pick up in speed

[quaint dirge]

good question, im interested too

[glossy flare]

around lvl 60

[obsidian patio]

depends greatly on your job also

[glossy flare]

before that it's reasonably slow paced, it does pick up a bit once you hit Stormblood for most jobs

[obsidian patio]

the melee jobs besides lancer/dragoon get stuff that lowers their GCD

[vapid tulip]

60+ is expansion territory and beyond right

[leaden ginkgo]

ik this is not the right channel to ask but why people make jokes in limsa i dont get it is there something special on limsa

[glossy flare]

50-60 is already an expansion but it's included in the trial

[obsidian patio]

people like to hang out there

it's a popular AFK spot due to an aetheryte being right by a marketboard

||Never mind ||

[ashen kiln]

Is there a hotkey to swap between keyboard and controller?

Come on ppl, leave Louisonix so i can make character 😛

Hello! So i have been collecting about 7 mounts at this point, but when i go into my mount guide tab its empty. I can search for the mounts names and make them favourites and then be able to see them in the favourite tab. But i still cannot see mounts that are not marked as favourite. Any idea whats wrong ? Ty on advance

[leaden ginkgo]

likt and chaos are 2 separate data centers for eu or how it works?

Hi everyone, I have a friend who just started ffxiv and is keen on buying the game. Does anyone know if stormblood and shadowbringers are included in the endwalker pre orders when the expansion drops?

Or will stb and shb be obtainable with endwalk only when endwalker is released?

[obsidian patio]

Only when Endwalker is released

[leaden ginkgo]

both light and chaos servers located in germany?

[wheat jetty]

So buying the endwalk pre order now, come novemeber stb and shb will be automatically added without having to pay more?

[leaden ginkgo]

when fete ? reset

[wheat jetty]

Just want to confirm before making any purchases

[leaden ginkgo]

how im suposed to know which server to choose, does it even matter if i start without friends? kekw

[obsidian patio]

if they don't mind being stuck at level 60 until november then yes.

[obsidian patio]

enter your server's firmament to check. each server's timer is different

[leaden ginkgo]

there is no command for eu ?

Ooo ill go take a look

say is there a way to do hunts more efficiently.. ive noticed some hunts are within the same map.. in fact sometimes they're right next to each other
but i'd have to flip through like 15 leaflets of hunts to see who is where with who and i tyhink.. wow the possibility is there, therefore someone must have figured it out

[drifting bluff]

Louisoix is open for creation ... oops RIP, i never refreshed.

[quaint dirge]

im still trying lol

im starting to unlock extreme trials at msq50, are they just end game stuff before HW for pple to grind?

is it relevant to me, as im moving on thru the msq to HW

[drifting bluff]

@quaint dirgeSorry I had it page open like 10 minutes ago :|

wonder why Light hasn't had a preferred server for ages

[stable grail]

for the relic quest "the resistance remembers" laws order ones where u gather 18 memories of 2 types

how many do u get from the alliance raid?
is it better to do fates instead?
and can you play a job that is not lvl80 yet to complete those activites for the drop?

[next portal]

are pple still doing extreme trials for older patches? or just for duty rollettes

[obsidian patio]

I use this website https://ffxivhunt.com/

[left whale]

oh, well thats handy

[obsidian patio]

They’re not relevant content. People generally only do them in the party finder

[left whale]

not the silver bullet but still very convenient

[ionic linden]

theres any bis items for astro, or just buy items from Tomestone for 520 ilvl

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/ louisoix preffered server but you cant make new character? this is so confusing

[oak ice]

It's just clogged since too many people are logged in

[leaden ginkgo]

also theres literally zero info ingame which server are good for new players, idk its so confusing

[worn flume]

because there is no specific server that's best for new players

[oak ice]

Server doesn't matter whatsoever

As long as you pick a data center close to you for lower ping

Then it's just which server you have friends playing on

[leaden ginkgo]

can i make fat character?

[glossy flare]

best you can do is a male roegadyn I suppose

which are not exactly fat, just bulky

[wanton lintel]

Is there a way to remove other peoples damage numbers from showing up on screen during raids etc and only see yours?

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah was just trying to make mele roegadyn fat lol

[glossy flare]

afaik you can only turn them off for everyone

yourself included

To be fair, it's pretty hard to be fat when you're in the adventuring profession 😄

I'm trying to get my last two notes in BSF, what exactly is the spawn trigger for More Machine Than Man and All Pets Are Off? They're so infrequent it's odd

[obsidian patio]

basically just being active in their "zones" and killing stuff and doing other skirmishes.

Also make sure to complete all CEs as they spawn ASAP, since they block other CEs or skirmishes that spawn CEs from spawning.

[versed jay]

Ah, that's where I'm tripping up, I'm ignoring CEs

might also try checking the marketboard for cheapish level 70 crafted stuff, just make sure it's

(alternatively there's a vendor next to the Kugane aetheryte too)

Is it known when are we getting job actions trailer?

[obsidian patio]

probably not until they do the media tour

date also unknown

my personal guess is late september to early-mid october

[honest anvil]

last i ask people said no; some guess “around a month before release”

[vital ruin]

during an active time manoeuvre i need to press all the buttons on the dpad simultaneously than just a single button right

and how toght is hades ex active time

[obsidian patio]

you just button mash

[grave plover]

My search for a gsm macro for level 50 never ends...

[vital ruin]

oke

[obsidian patio]

for controller I just roll my thumbs on all 4 dpad/face buttons at once

[vital ruin]

its not like sosex right like if i die in active time its a wipe?

[obsidian patio]

nah only you die

also only SOS normal mode has the active time event

[oak ice]

You have 5 seconds for Hades, it's not tight at all

[obsidian patio]

can also get extra fingers mashing the trigger buttons

but thumb-rolling the dpad and face buttons is usually fast enough

[vital ruin]

ohh

[pliant vector]

where do i find info on where to buy crafting gear? currently lvl 28 blacksmith but still have lv 1 boots and lv 5 pants

[obsidian patio]

literally any button on the controller besides the share button and home button work for Active Time Events

[vital ruin]

niice

[obsidian patio]

you can buy 1-50 stuff from the vendors in the city-state markets

[pliant vector]

so in limsa would that be along the lower deck area?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[pliant vector]

lovely thank you , ill go have a browse

also are the levequests levels determined by the area theyre in?

only seem to find lv 10 ones

(tradecraft)

I think Limsa level 10 is Red Rooster Stead?

tbh I did all the level 1-15 crafting leves at their city-state instead of the town that has the person

Level 7/8 materia can basically only be used on level 80 gear

[warm snow]

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

What’s a fast way to level up 70-71

Without dailies

[upper cove]

@quick sage castrum abania I'm guessing

[quick sage]

Cause I already did them

[upper cove]

Thats the next highest levelling dungeon

[quick sage]

Why Castrum?

Because it’s fast?

Fast dungeon?

[upper cove]

Eh its just the highest levelling dungeon you can run as a 70

Because end game.dungeons give lesser exp

I.e. 50/60/70

Those which are like 61 63 65 69 etc gives more exp. Thus levelling dungeons

[quick sage]

Why?

I use this discord for resources on BLU stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

Y’all I have a weird question 😅 I’m new still

So Uhm , what’s the difference between casters , Melee & ranged DPSes?

[obsidian needle]

How weird?

[leaden ginkgo]

Like why would I melee dps ? Makes no sense it’s risky and from what I heard , BLM & SMN are like stronger than any melee job //

[terse hare]

@upper cove i dont want to redownload the game again though...

[ember vault]

Ey Monk is a great close quaters fighter

[obsidian needle]

Because its fun? Certain classes might be more fun for you? Ranges is forgiving because you can run and attack while keeping up uptime. Casters cant move, particularly BLM.

[ember vault]

its single target damage vs multi-target damage as a main difference with casters and melee

[upper cove]

@terse hare I mean its definitely your choice! If you don't mind paying the full price by all means

[obsidian needle]

Melee, ranged, and casting are all totally viable

[ember vault]

As a Monk I can outperform a black mage against a single target

[leaden ginkgo]

So the downside to casters from what I understand is

That they can get interrupted and have to dodge and move so they lose dps

[ember vault]

but flipped a black mage will do more against multiple targets

[upper cove]

@leaden ginkgo playstyle and preference.

[leaden ginkgo]

What’s the catch with melee & ranged

[obsidian needle]

Everyone has to dodge

[ember vault]

melees can still hit on the move

[round crag]

I wouldn’t really call it a downside, every job has to adjust in fights

[ember vault]

but casters can have distance and either completely avoid an aoe or react to it quicker

[modest igloo]

Melee have to be close to the boss, ranged have a low damage compared to full uptime classes, caster have the cast bar

[leaden ginkgo]

Cause tbh I’m coming from an MMO that has scoreboards for like how much dmg u did. Wit FF I don’t got that so I don’t wanna be a dps and not be doing a ton of dmg I’d feel useless

[ember vault]

ah WoW?

[round crag]

Every dps can do good damage if played well

[modest igloo]

Yeah that’s not a thing in FF

[leaden ginkgo]

for relic quest, what materia is required to put inside the weapon

I already put 3 level 3 materias

[round crag]

There’s no dps that’s unviable in this game

[leaden ginkgo]

And Gerolt still wont take it

[ember vault]

yeah dont worry about scoreboard stuff, damage output wise theres not a massive difference

[upper cove]

@leaden ginkgo if you're talking about zodiac weapon. 11 each of grades 1 to 4 iirc

[obsidian needle]

Should be in the quest description

[ember vault]

usually down to how you play the class @leaden ginkgo

[faint flare]

Gerolt tells you

[leaden ginkgo]

Ty y’all <33

[upper cove]

Oh thay

[faint flare]

Talk to him again

[leaden ginkgo]

He's red

[upper cove]

He mentions the specific materia

[faint flare]

Read his text

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh

[modest igloo]

Play what you want and have fun!

[upper cove]

Or you could Google the specific ones needed for your weapon

Iirc lances require 2x savage aim 3

[faint flare]

Then despair at how long the chain is

And see its really not worth doing now

[obsidian needle]

Was just looking into eureka. Is the elemental level tied to character or specific jobs?

[obsidian needle]

Neither

[faint flare]

Character

[upper cove]

Ah thats great

[faint flare]

Only need to level once in eureka

[upper cove]

Would suck to have tk levle to elemental 60 17(?).times for all the relics

Thats very good to know

[quick sage]

@upper cove there’s no kne doing the dungeon

[ember vault]

That'd straight up be rage inducing

[reef mango]

how do I remove those numbers next to hotbars?

[upper cove]

@quick sagesorry man can't really help you with that. What I would do is select all the dungeons from 61-69

Might not be as much exp but its something

[ember vault]

what dungeon?

[obsidian needle]

Character settigs, hotbar settings

[upper cove]

Or just wait for daily reset in 2nhours

[reef mango]

thx

[ember vault]

or Visit Heaven on High or Bozja

[upper cove]

Ikr. Was watching Mr happy videos. It takes quite a significant amount of time to level

[obsidian needle]

[upper cove]

@ember vault hes trying to get to 71 from 70. I recommended castrum abania

[obsidian needle]

Dont grind to grind for Eureka

[ember vault]

I think I got into the 2nd part of Eureka, then life happened lol

[faint flare]

Ehhhhhh it took me around like 1 week and a half to level

Hard core doing ereka

[ember vault]

I'm having more fun at Bozjan

[upper cove]

@faint flare wil probably tske me twice the time

But I don't mind the grind

Really looks like some old school grind which i can appreciate

[faint flare]

That was during a patch lull so it population was around it is nkw

[ember vault]

Eureka's charm is that its old school grind

[obsidian needle]

Look into seeing if you can get that haste gear for eureka then

Might help

[upper cove]

Yep I'll look into the specific items when I decide to get into eureka

Was just understanding ahead of time

Just about finishing base sb

[ember vault]

You also get to work with Kryle who basically tells people off

[upper cove]

2nd best lala

But let's not go there

[ember vault]

lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Quick question ☺️

How many slots do I usually need? Playing with controller so it’s kinda awkward yk

[mighty orbit]

slots as in hot bar?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

[faint flare]

3 hotbars

[obsidian needle]

Slots? Hotbars?

[faint flare]

Yoy can easily access them

[mighty orbit]

3-4

[faint flare]

Without swapping

Use the extended and wxhb hotbars

[obsidian needle]

3 hotbars per job, and usually a 4th for non combat stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

Yup I did that but was wondering if I needed more

[ember vault]

the L2+R2 hotbar is very useful

[faint flare]

Which are the double tap triggers and holding both

[haughty topaz]

if i play 3-5 hours a day as a new player how long it will take me to reach last expansion ? (talking story wise) because its my 2nd day and am already level 32, yet people say it takes months for new player to be up to date with the content

[mighty orbit]

i use 8 but 4 are used for switching jobs, vvarious dances, sweeping, wonderos trails, basically 4 bars that are for non-combat

but combat wise 3-4 bars

@foggy ruin you have 5 months. you'll finish in time

[obsidian needle]

Its like 150 hours with cutscenes to reach the end just for MSQ

[mighty orbit]

to cut down time you can skip the cutscenese and later just watch them in an inn, but thats up to you

but again you have 5 months until endwalker so you can easily get there

[haughty topaz]

150 to reach shadowbringers ?

[ember vault]

ARR Alphinaud, oh how I still want to dropkick that version of him

[obsidian needle]

Reach the end of ShB

[mighty orbit]

i always thought he was a girl, didnt realize it until Stormblood

[obsidian needle]

To be current

[ember vault]

basically you'll make it @haughty topaz

so take your time

[haughty topaz]

not really .. 31st August is NW and 2 months after lost ark .. so i might not actually get there

[leaden ginkgo]

Am I doing something wrong or is the leveling up process tedious? : (

[left whale]

150 hours in cutscenes.. another few hours of queue times..another couple hundred hours of things you will feel like doing otherthan the msq, so yeah its a long time

[leaden ginkgo]

It’s literally so boring I just talk to people for quests

[obsidian needle]

Yeah, youll make it there 3 to 5 hours a day as long as you don't get sidetracked

[ember vault]

what's your method?

[nimble swift]

A bit confused.. I finished the quest where I get my first chocobo , but I can not seem to summon it. And I can not pick up the quest My Fiesty Little Chocobo. I'm level 35

[leaden ginkgo]

Just story missions + dungeons when I unlock them

[faint flare]

Use the whistle

[ember vault]

ah have you checked the daily duties menu?

[nimble swift]

Ah it's in the inventory. I was looking in the companion section.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh

[haughty topaz]

i never do side quests just MSQ and some blue ones like the class quests

[leaden ginkgo]

No lol

[obsidian needle]

Summon as a mount or companion?

[ember vault]

they give notable exp bonuses

[modest igloo]

That’s pretty much what final fantasy is, lots of story and characters

[ember vault]

usually the leveling one is best

[obsidian needle]

You need gyshal greens to summon as companion

[leaden ginkgo]

I wanna do dungeons and stuff thoooo looks fun

[nimble swift]

Both. But I did not use the whistle. From my understanding I have to complete a quest to use it as a companion and then buy a bunch of the items needed.

[obsidian needle]

Only need 1 item

Gyshal greens. And they are cheap

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait how do I check my daily stuff anyway?

[obsidian needle]

Buy a stack of 100

[ember vault]

Duties

[leaden ginkgo]

Also do I need to buy eggs and stuff or since it’s my first job I just stick to story missions

I just wanna reach lvl60 so I can pick up a BLM as well

[ember vault]

eggs?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ye the food that gives u like xp bonus and stuff

[ember vault]

oh

you can use any food for the exp bonus

I think you gain access to other jobs at 15

or maybe 20 but don't qoute me on that

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh I thought I gotta be 60 for BLM

[ember vault]

no

that I can definitly say isn't needed 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m scholar atm btw idk if that makes any difference

[ember vault]

nah

[leaden ginkgo]

Aight bet! Ty all so much

[faint flare]

It'd lv10

After doing your lv10 class quest

Those "so you wanna be a X" are other jobs

[ember vault]

no probs

Its been so long since I've been level 10 😄

[lusty oasis]

Say I have a level 67 gunbreaker and I want to level up my level 32 Paladin with no gear. Where can I get good gear at that level? Do I just buy from a general shop? 🤔

[obsidian needle]

You could run level 30 dungeons unsync for fending gear

Do potd where gear doesnt matter

[ember vault]

ah yes Potd naked run

[lusty oasis]

How do you do that? I can only do the level 50 60 70 dungeons and leveling dungeons

I didn't know I could run unsync

[obsidian needle]

Duty finder, gear icon, select unsync

Go in as level 67 solo and breeze through

[ember vault]

a level 30 dungeon can be solo'd very quickly above 60

[lusty oasis]

Ohh okay. Wow. Did not know. Thanks!

[obsidian needle]

Np

[lusty oasis]

Oh and you can select the type of gear too? You mentioned "for fending gesr"

[obsidian needle]

No

You run through it multiple times and hope fending gear drops

[left whale]

you can get dungeon loot for running things unsynced?

[obsidian needle]

You dont get exp or gil but you still get item drops

Yes

[left whale]

👀 👀 👀

[ember vault]

though a single run may also be enough to decently gear a PLD

at 32

[past shoal]

Hi All,
Does no NPC have any form of voice dialog? I don't hear any dialog from anyone. I would expect the main quest people to have some dialog... Is this as expected?

[glossy flare]

There is voice acting

[left whale]

sometimes its voiced , sometimes its not

[glossy flare]

However ARR has very little of it since it was rushed

[obsidian needle]

Yeah, because at level i dont think there are separate scouting/striking/maiming gearsets at 30ish

[glossy flare]

There will be much more voice acting once you reach the expansions

[obsidian needle]

Maybe just a few runs

[ember vault]

Don't worry soon you'll hear Rauhban's manly voice

[past shoal]

I... do not know what ARR is
I actually just started the game and am doing the quest chain where you look around the city and get to know where everything is.... no voice yet whatsoever

[obsidian needle]

Arr is the base game

[ember vault]

A realm Reborn, the base game

[obsidian needle]

Level 1 to 50

[past shoal]

ah ok

[leaden ginkgo]

Damn it’s base game till lvl50?

[obsidian needle]

Yes

[ember vault]

😄

[leaden ginkgo]

No wonder it’s been so boring apart from dungeons

[obsidian needle]

Youll soon find those dungeons to be boring too

[ember vault]

You have Aurum Vale to look forward to

[leaden ginkgo]

I- I like dungeons and bosses 🥺

Mechanics and stuff

[past shoal]

so.. no voice till expansions? 😮

[leaden ginkgo]

Everyone been tellin me to switch to FF cause dungeon mechanics

[ember vault]

No you get voices soon-ish

[past shoal]

okay, so no voice at the beginning?

[round crag]

The raid mechanics are fun. Dungeons are all just hallways with 3 boss fights basically.

[leaden ginkgo]

I think I heard some voice acting around like lvl30 ish

Don’t remember anything else I’m at 40 atm

[ember vault]

Your first encounter with the scions has it

[leaden ginkgo]

But I admit , I’m guilty of skipping cutscenes

[ember vault]

if I recall

[past shoal]

oh okay

[left whale]

ARR is like part 1 jojos, dont @ me

iunno, i like some of the dungeon boss mechanics later on, as comparatively sparse as they may be compared to full fledged raid bosses

[past shoal]

thanks for the info guys ❤️

[ember vault]

thats relativly early

🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

Looool

Once my friend told me “ Vit , FF is all about the story “

I was like oh … now I gotta watch a YT video and see what I skipped lol

[warm snow]

It is tho

[round crag]

ARR is a slog though

[ember vault]

you'll Appreciate following the story when you run into Haruchfraunt and Emet later on

[faint flare]

Final fantasy game first, mmo second

[next portal]

all of bahamuts raids are removed from ARR main storyline? or were they nvr part of it

[leaden ginkgo]

I’ll just keep skipping till I’m done with ARR then watch a YT video or sum to catch up

I’m already lvl41 and I have no idea who’s doing what

[next portal]

the 3 coils dungeons sounds exciting

[ember vault]

yes and no, Alisiae talks about it in the msq

[round crag]

They were always optional

[ember vault]

but you learn a lot about what happened with Bahamut

by doing coils

[heavy oar]

ow here is question channel, does some of you know is Omega server opperational? For some reason im getting 9002 error since like 2 hours ago

[onyx kiln]

what is the best way to grind for the Tank mounts?

[honest anvil]

Only if you have done coil before those lines afaik

[faint flare]

Coils was the high end raids of arr

So

[faint flare]

Garuda ex unsync for the first one and I think like Omega 1 for the second

[ember vault]

T9 I think it was, is still one of the hardest things to do even unsynced

[warm snow]

Deltascape 3.0

[warm snow]

O3

Can be unsynced

8 lv 80 tanks can kill in under 90 seconds

[next portal]

sounds like exciting story fighting bahamut

[warm snow]

I mean kinda

[next portal]

did u guys experienced it?

[warm snow]

At the time. No.

[left whale]

SB fans weep

[warm snow]

I haven't even been playing a year yet

[ember vault]

I experienced it synced at 50

[next portal]

is it completely dead now? its only ilvl 90 to 130, meh

[ember vault]

it was both fun and painful

[warm snow]

It's dead for completely different reasons

The bahamut raid series is at savage difficulty

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m sorry but how do I check dailies and weeklies again? Are they all instances or are there open world daily missions as well?

[next portal]

i see, so u need 8 pro players

[ember vault]

I still have trauma from a certain Coil boss

[next portal]

LOL

[faint flare]

Only if you're doing it synced

[next portal]

so at tt time most pple stop at zodiac quest for best gear?

[round crag]

You don’t need pro players to do it unsynched

[ember vault]

No one will ever know what fighting them at level50 before expansions was like now

[faint flare]

At your point you only have daily roulettes which are the literal first page of the duty finder

[round crag]

Yup. There’s no way to experience the old fights how they were on release unfortunately

[ember vault]

Thordine Ex was another one I both enjoyed and regretted putting myself through when it dropped

[crisp pelican]

All I know is ARR itself used to be more painful at the start

[leaden ginkgo]

Can’t y’all just run it synced?

I’ve been running everything synced it’s fun so far

[ember vault]

I tend to run stuff synced to be fair

[faint flare]

No fucking sane person does old high end stuff synced

[round crag]

Depends on the fight. You do a lot more damage synched down than you did back when the content was relevant

Plus you have fights like some of the Alexander raids that had its mechanics changed post relevance so you’ll literally never be able to experience the original difficulty

[gentle apex]

hey guys! I am totally new to the game, lvl 14 now. Do I miss out on much if I stay on the trial for a while?

[next portal]

I read tt arr reviews were bad. Wad was bad? The bad mechanics? Broken systems?

[ember vault]

though if I've already done it synced then I'm not farming it synced lol

[crisp pelican]

I do not know since I didn't play back then

[ember vault]

1.0 FFXIV was bad ARR was the sucessor of it

[warm snow]

1.0 was bad

[next portal]

Im lvl 55 now. Just completed arr msq. Not starting subs till stormblood

[leaden ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/uh-oh-boy-awkward-confused-what-gif-9999457

[next portal]

Loving the game so far

[glossy flare]

If you can live with the trial restrictions then you are missing nothing whatsoever

[warm snow]

So bad that they nuked everything both in game and irl and rebuilt from scratch

[ember vault]

as time went on Arr got the time it needed for that stuff to be worked on and well Arr is a lot more managable

[crisp pelican]

^

[next portal]

Its still very overwhelming for me. As im doing the patched quest 2.4. I dont know wads relevant. Wads not

[leaden ginkgo]

^ facts

[next portal]

And its seems theres fck alot of content im gonna ignore and just move on to HW

[crisp pelican]

1.0 was shit but towards the end it at least got a epic finale and so ARR was born and the XIV we know now wonder how XIV Would be if 1.0 didn't fail

[warm snow]

Crystal tower mandatory, bahamut optional

[leaden ginkgo]

Game’s SO overwhelming

[gentle apex]

What are the restrictions other than I can't whisper?

[leaden ginkgo]

I have no idea what y’all talking about 95% of the time

[ember vault]

its fine, take your time though do pay attention to the Crystal Brave stuff

[faint flare]

It is literally like 4 games in 1

[warm snow]

No market board, can't form parties or use party finder can't join free company, no retainers

No pvp

[faint flare]

okay seems like It's kinda limiting. Should I get endwalker or shadow bringers now?

[warm snow]

Up to you

As long as you're not trying to do the binding coils and extremes you'll be fine

[high otter]

From anyone, who customized squadron outfits: are they able to wear 61+ lvl armor as glamour? Or I must get them something at level 60 and below, since it's their max level

[warm snow]

They still have to obey glamour restrictions afaik

And they're stuck as classes

[high otter]

Wdym

[warm snow]

Gladiator not paladin

Archer not bard

Etc etc
