[obsidian inlet]

Thats not how it works

[tranquil wolf]

so its not pre made sub, i will have to set it up again

[boreal storm]

It’s monthly

[tranquil wolf]

yes i paid the standard edition

[proud willow]

When you create another service account, you're basically leaving the old account behind

including your characters

[tranquil wolf]

correct

[proud willow]

I don't think that's what you want

[tranquil wolf]

which is fine

[boreal storm]

No

It’s not

[tranquil wolf]

???

why

[obsidian inlet]

You planning too start over

[tranquil wolf]

my god this is so confusing

[proud willow]

I'm super confused now

[tranquil wolf]

yes its fine

i am okay to start over

i havent played since 2019

[obsidian inlet]

You sure about that

[proud willow]

Buying the game costs more than paying for a month

[obsidian inlet]

Agree

[tranquil wolf]

2019, i barely made progress

[tranquil wolf]

oh waw

[boreal storm]

Just make more progress then

[north venture]

Morning folks, 2 questions

1- Is there another job that has something like samurai's Shifu which reduce GCD?
2- Are there any other dailies beside Duty Roulettes?

[tranquil wolf]

then whats the point of standard haha

[leaden ginkgo]

Alrighty then, fair point. Guess the meaning has changed from what I'm used to

[upper cove]

If you're worried about being lost, just delete the character and remake a new one if you're bent on restarting

[analog gate]

nin has huton and monk has (passive) greased lightning, both reduce GCDs too

[proud willow]

You have to buy it before you can subscribe

[tranquil wolf]

so just to confirm, after this 30 days is gone, i need to set up sup monthly correct?

[shy sage]

yes

[tranquil wolf]

yes which i done that

which is fine right?

[obsidian inlet]

Wait is it old or new

[upper cove]

The game you bought is only tied to your current account

[tranquil wolf]

my old account was trial

[proud willow]

It's a recurring sub, so if you put in your CC, it will charge you every month until you cancel. Or you can do it with Crysta which is like a Steam Wallet

[obsidian inlet]

Oh

[upper cove]

Ohhh

[proud willow]

so it will not charge you again if you're paying with Crysta. You go in and manually refill the wallet

[boreal storm]

it sounded like you were going to buy the game a 2nd time for no good reason, my b

[shy sage]

@tranquil wolf if I would be you, I would be creating myself a complete new acc and play a lot on the free trial, which goes up to heavensward. It safes a lot of time since you don't need to have a sub active and you don't waste any time of your sub, If you might be playing a little slower.

[proud willow]

I think they already did, but it's all right

[tranquil wolf]

sorry there is a lot confusion setting up this game

[quasi mulch]

Hey, Im looking for a Dragon-ish Mount that is Green and has a Ring around his neck I believe. Thats the best I can describe it on the top of my head.

[tranquil wolf]

i am just really confused.

was this right process

[quasi mulch]

Yes its the Twintania mount. Thanks :)

[tranquil wolf]

so just to confirm once more and very simple becuase im getting mixed advice from all

once this standard edtion is gone by 30 days, can i just set up 30 days sup from there and on

paying monthly to use this serivce account

[upper cove]

Yes

[tranquil wolf]

okay thanks

[proud willow]

yes

[upper cove]

That's what you need to do if you want to continue playing on a sub acc

[tranquil wolf]

okay, so to do that you need to buy standard first before sub right?

[proud willow]

yes

[tranquil wolf]

this is really weird lol

[proud willow]

the Standard Edition doesn't "go away" or anything, you own it permanently

[boreal storm]

Standard or complete, whichever you picked

[tranquil wolf]

got it

yeah standard

[proud willow]

it just happens to also come with 30 days of subscription

[tranquil wolf]

which makes sense

so

if i happen to want to buy shawdowbringer, i simply put the code into that service account number 2

then boom i can play that expan

[shy sage]

@tranquil wolf I wanted to write you something in privat, but since it didn't work, I just post it here, just in case (I don't know If that question was already answered, if yes, just ignore me, lol)

There are (basically) two options.
Firstly, you create yourself a complete new account without buying anything, just downloading the launcher and then you can play until HS and Level 60. This is really great if you just starting out since you don't have a time limit, endless time, just a few restrictions.

Secondly, you buy the game (doesn't matter if complete edition or standard) and then have a subscription of 30 days available, which comes with the buying process. You will then see a countdown in the game. After these days have expired, you need to set up a new monthly subscription at the mogstore.

That's basically it

[boreal storm]

And people doing the trial are allowed to transfer their character to the full game, so no progress is lost

[tranquil wolf]

1. i couldn't get the launcher becuase i been told i needed to buy the game FIRST to get the launcher, turns out there was launcher downloader somewhere just had to do some digging, so i think it was not needed

2. so what you saying is i can play the game without even paying until lvl60?

[shy sage]

yes

you can play everything up to heavensward

[boreal storm]

!faq freetrial

[zinc orbit]

Free Trial Limitations

Limitation details
Download

[tranquil wolf]

i have 1st account serivce with standard

but i been told to make 2nd service

[boreal storm]

To play the trial

[tranquil wolf]

i may have gotten paid 1st service around 2019

yeah

trial was first

[shy sage]

I just mentioned you need to make a new acc, because you only get the trial with a complete new account ^^

[tranquil wolf]

okayyy

so umm.. with this being 30 days

what exactly am i getting more than trial?

sorry

i am like

[boreal storm]

You see these limitations https://support.na.square-enix.com/rule.php?id=5382&tag=freetrial

[shy sage]

not really anything tbh

[tranquil wolf]

kinda confused, becuase i thought it was just mmo being mmo

[boreal storm]

Full game people don’t have those

[tranquil wolf]

OHHHHH

if i remeber correctly

[full heron]

Any reason why majority of ppl seem to be maelstrom? And very few immortal flames

[tranquil wolf]

you cant play with friends eiather on trial yes?

[shy sage]

yes

[boreal storm]

You can’t initiate as a trial player

[shy sage]

but if your friend owns the game, he could invite you

[boreal storm]

That’s the kicker

[upper cove]

You can definitely still play with your friends

[shy sage]

if one person owns the game, it works

[tranquil wolf]

only by someone who owns the game

AH

OKAY

[upper cove]

If you're both free trial, ask someone to create party for you will do

[tranquil wolf]

this is basically WoW trial but better by 5x

since you can get over to lvl60

[upper cove]

You basically get to play half the story worth

Out of all the expansions already

[boreal storm]

Example: Full game can send friend requests to both trial and full game players, but trial players can’t send any

[tranquil wolf]

oh waw

[shy sage]

you basically could level all jobs (which are available till hs) to 60 with the free trial, without losing days of your sub

[tranquil wolf]

got it

[leaden ginkgo]

@tranquil wolf what world are u in?

[tranquil wolf]

haven't made one yet

[shy sage]

btw, if you buy the game once, you won't be ever able to get back to the trial. Just saying

[leaden ginkgo]

ah ok :D

[tranquil wolf]

which is fine right?

[shy sage]

just by creating a complete fresh account

ye it's fine

[tranquil wolf]

so i will need to make new account not new serice account?

[shy sage]

I would abuse the free trial as long as possible

[upper cove]

This

I could have milked more out of it

[boreal storm]

A new square enix account is needed

[upper cove]

But there was a sale

[tranquil wolf]

well bit too late haha, i had the talk yesterday about this and nobody said i can still play trial like this

[upper cove]

I know someone who's 1 year on the free teial

[boreal storm]

That me

[upper cove]

Pretty much almost decked out on everything collectible

[tranquil wolf]

too lazy ill just pay

[upper cove]

Masochistic guy spiritbonded 1000s of materia in preparation for zodiac relic

[tranquil wolf]

i mean honestly, everyone praises this mmo and i been playing ESO over 200+ hours, so seeing how everyone praises this game being best of best mmo to this date makes me feel like its worth at least trying the first 30 days

[upper cove]

I mean

If you feel likenitd worth it

[shy sage]

oh and also @tranquil wolf
Since we're talking about sale

You COULD buy the game now, if there is a sale going on (idk)
You then get a key.
you get this key from e-mail.
SOOOOOOO if you are playing on the free trial, there is a sale going on, you COULD buy the game but you could wait with the redeeming of the keys until your satisfied.

[upper cove]

But I stayed more than 3 months on the free trial before I was ready to sub, content wise

[boreal storm]

If you like it, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t

[tranquil wolf]

i got the standard editon just now XD

the shawdowbringer expan is on sale so that may be good to consider

[boreal storm]

That’s just how it be

[tranquil wolf]

got it

i mean like i said i got confused by a lot advice

[shy sage]

since the standard edition is basically the free trial that's a little sad but it's fine tho

[tranquil wolf]

how come?

[shy sage]

because you're getting basically nothing out of it in the end, but it's fine ^^

[tranquil wolf]

you get Heavensward

[shy sage]

Ye but HS is included in the free trial

[tranquil wolf]

ah

[boreal storm]

But like Shadowbringers tho

[tranquil wolf]

okay...

i feel kinda stupid then

[shy sage]

I bought the complete edition when it was on sale earlier

[tranquil wolf]

can i get complete edition with standard?

[sacred oracle]

I regret activate my cd key yesterday, i just started the game yesterday and im lv 10

XD

[boreal storm]

No

[shy sage]

yeah that's rip

[tranquil wolf]

oh waw

[boreal storm]

You can only buy one “edition” then you buy the expansions when they come out

[tranquil wolf]

so i have to get shadowbringer first

[shy sage]

or endwalker when it comes out

[tranquil wolf]

so what is max lvl on standard editon

[boreal storm]

60

[shy sage]

ye 60

same as on free trial

standard edition is basically free trial just without restrictions

[tranquil wolf]

okay okay

[tranquil wolf]

so once the 30 days gone

i cant play it as "trial"

correct?

[shy sage]

yes

[tranquil wolf]

fuck

[halcyon tulip]

Its not trial

[tranquil wolf]

i feel so bad

[boreal storm]

The free days aren’t the trial

[shy sage]

you then have to subscribe

[boreal storm]

Totally separate

[tranquil wolf]

so i can play with my friend

who doesnt own the game

i can inv him at least

[shy sage]

if you own the game, yes

[tranquil wolf]

well yeah i got standard XDDD

[boreal storm]

If you’re in the same DC sure

[shy sage]

then sure

[tranquil wolf]

Yea yea

so if i get it from greenman sale, lets say shawdowbringer, i just put the code into serive account 2

[boreal storm]

What’s on the first account then?

[tranquil wolf]

https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/final-fantasy-xiv-shadowbringers-pc/

[tranquil wolf]

trial

[shy sage]

you activate it on the account that you play on

[tranquil wolf]

yeah

[warm bear]

Could some legendary human being list which roulettes give the best xp relative to time

[tranquil wolf]

i think what they wanted to help me from yesterday is that if i wanted shawdowbringer then i need standard editon first

i think thats what they meant by

[storm sapphire]

Trials/leveling

[boreal storm]

Complete edition comes with everything

[warm bear]

Basically I’m trying to decide which ones not to do each day

[boreal storm]

Currently out

[tranquil wolf]

i dont have money for complete atm

but i just need to get the sale shadowbringer

its on sale so getting complete editon is little steep

[meager patrol]

so my friend just started the game on the windows version

[warm bear]

Have you started playing yet

[tranquil wolf]

ahhh so here i choice number 2

[tranquil wolf]

just now

[warm bear]

I’d recommend getting the complete edition on sale

The trial includes the critically acclaimed expansion Heavensward

[tranquil wolf]

i brought standard

[warm bear]

That will keep you busy for a while. The complete Edition will go on sale before you finish

[bronze drift]

I finally hit 80 still need to finish shadowbringer story but is there nothing else to do 🤔 how come I dont have Nier raids and stuff :c

[tranquil wolf]

i cannot buy complete with standard

[warm bear]

Ah

[tranquil wolf]

so i will just get shawdowbringer for £12

next week

does that make sense?

[hard aurora]

ehm

[tranquil wolf]

i know it sounds dumb

but its all i can afford rn

[warm bear]

Finish the msq. Nier raid quests start from the dwarves in kholusia

[hard aurora]

complete has everything including standsrd tho?

[boreal storm]

Not to me at least seeing how, complete = standard + current expansion in price

[bronze drift]

o bet

[hard aurora]

ye

[glacial kiln]

Hunting Logs are mainly for XP, yeah?

[warm bear]

Have you played nier automata

[bronze drift]

yeah @warm bear

[tranquil wolf]

i mean once i get shawdowbringer i will get stormblood for free too

[warm bear]

All endings?

[tranquil wolf]

which is £12

[boreal storm]

The fact it’s on sale shouldn’t have changed that

[tranquil wolf]

for both of them

so i basically paid

£22

instead of £35

does that make sense?

or did i make a mistake again

[hard aurora]

uhh

[tranquil wolf]

i mean regardless i see it cheap way of me doing it

[hard aurora]

do you have standard already?

[tranquil wolf]

just now

[hard aurora]

oh well i guess it makes sense

[tranquil wolf]

i mean

[shy sage]

I think I bought the complete edition for something around 16€ (60% sale), but right now it makes kinda sense, yeah

[tranquil wolf]

we already got 1st/2nd for free with standard

[boreal storm]

I’m just confused about these prices is all

[tranquil wolf]

SO YEAH WE KINDA DID THE SAME

[tranquil wolf]

basically

the complete edition is £35

what i did was

[shy sage]

Said nothing against it, no need to scream at me xD

[hard aurora]

lol

[tranquil wolf]

£10 standard
£12 shawdowbringer

[boreal storm]

I get that

[tranquil wolf]

=22, i saved like 15 quid

BIG BRAIN MOVE

[boreal storm]

I just assumed that they’d be the same price like it usually is with sales

[tranquil wolf]

no no

sorry

its diffrent

all i found was £35

on their website

which is steal deal

since it comes with 30 days

but i did the big brain move making it cheaper

i think complete edition provides mounts

and other fancy stuff

[shy sage]

No

[floral crystal]

are players still considered new or sprouts if their sprout has turned into..idk even how to explain it, it looks like a flower kinda? or has green sprout part but a crown on top

[tranquil wolf]

ok i take it back

[boreal storm]

That’s collector’s

[shy sage]

Collectors Editions includes mounts

[tranquil wolf]

my bad

okay i didn't read carefully enough

[shy sage]

Did the same mistake ^^'

[worn flume]

that's the returning adventurer icon, someone who's been inactive for a while and returned to the game recently

[tranquil wolf]

okay so

one last LAST question

[floral crystal]

oooh... okay. i was curious cause i get a lot of those players in duty finder and im a fresh sprout and it's always a healer that has one of those that is pulling everything. i am sprout tank btw 🙃

[tranquil wolf]

before i take shower.

if i buy shawdowbringer next week, and then later lets say after 30 days, i cant play due to needing to pay to play since its stanard account

can i pay using sup each month from there to keep playing and my expan is still there with me

[oak ice]

If you activate the code you will have the expansion

[agile laurel]

to clarify, if a healer is signalling that you should pull more then they probably know the score

[tranquil wolf]

forever? even after 30 days

[agile laurel]

it's not your perogative to insist otherwise

[shy sage]

Yes

Forever

[oak ice]

Of course

[tranquil wolf]

JUST MAKING SURE LOL

[shy sage]

chill

[boreal storm]

The only thing that runs out is the subscription

[shy sage]

^

[oak ice]

You don't have to buy the expansion again every time your sub runs out

[tranquil wolf]

there is just whole alot mess with like standard, complete tiral working diffrently

[tranquil wolf]

i paid standard just now, thats just 30 days alone

no sup

[tranquil wolf]

thank you

[upper cove]

Starter+shadowbringer will be the same as complete thats all

[shy sage]

You keep everything at the end of the subscription, just need to renew it then :3

No loss it all

[floral crystal]

wdym? if they wanted to pull insane amounts and like crazy why do they not tank instead that's confusing to me

[jade quartz]

It's not an insane amount.

[agile laurel]

That's a bad attitude. You're not the group leader just because you're the tank

[tranquil wolf]

as long as its standard account, i can pay using sup

anytime i wish

[jade quartz]

The whole party determines the pace of the dungeon, not just the tank.

[agile laurel]

And it inevitably won't be insane, single pulls literally do not require a tank

[warm snow]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/iPm8PE2.png

[warm snow]

Would recommend an entry sub tbh see above

[tranquil wolf]

oh thanks!!

[floral crystal]

true so why would the healer try to dictate the speed?

[jade quartz]

Because you weren't going fast enough.

[tranquil wolf]

so its not standard as in standard account?

[jade quartz]

How much were you pulling?

[agile laurel]

Because they're the most responsible. All you do, respectfully, is hold enmity.

[jade quartz]

Yeah it affects them the most.

In terms of what they actually have to do.

[floral crystal]

usually group by group unless the healer can keep up then i pull maybe two groups at a time

[agile laurel]

The healer can most reliably steer the group's capability

[tranquil wolf]

sorry for whole question, i just dont want to spend on somthing silly and only to be told i could done somthing better

[jade quartz]

That, frankly, is not acceptable above level 50. I'd say even level 30.

[agile laurel]

Yeah, sorry but pulling group by group literally doesn't require a tank present

[jade quartz]

Single pulls are basically griefing.

[agile laurel]

Dungeons are woefully under tuned, universally

The generic default should be pulling as much as you're capable, pack sizes are merely a basic suggestion

[floral crystal]

r u serious? so u want a 13th day sprout to be pulling on new dungeons entire groups at a time?

[tranquil wolf]

i can buy entry after buying standard edtion yes?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[floral crystal]

lmao

[shy sage]

yep

[floral crystal]

ok then

[jade quartz]

As the tank you literally don't do anything differently when there are more mobs

You still rotate your cooldowns

[boreal storm]

Unless you want a bunch of alt characters, entry sub is the way to go

[tranquil wolf]

that's all!! i am happy with this infromation

thank you all for help

[jade quartz]

Two pulls is baseline.

[tranquil wolf]

nah one is enough

[agile laurel]

Your healer was asking you to go faster. And you were, apparently, refusing. That's the incorrect attitude

[shy sage]

no problem, enjoy playing!

[jade quartz]

Wall to wall if you're feeling spicy.

[warm snow]

Yes, the 30 days you get with the base game are standard sub but you really don't need the extra character slots so giving you this information in advance

[floral crystal]

still doesn't make sense why the healer just doesn't que tank instead if they want to be the one pulling like that though so still confused tbh

[worn flume]

wall to wall is generally the standard for later dungeons

[agile laurel]

Because the tank doesn't matter

[jade quartz]

As the healer they can most reliably make sure that players get through those pulls.

[agile laurel]

The tank is not the most responsible player in the dungeon

[jade quartz]

It's really their prerogative most of all.

[agile laurel]

The healer is

Tanks, with respect, have the least to do of any role

[floral crystal]

so if i pull the whole dungeon and we die its healers fault? got it

[worn flume]

yes

[tranquil wolf]

so i can buy entry after 30 days, noted

[twilit arch]

not always

[jade quartz]

Depends on whether you use your cooldowns effectively.

[worn flume]

unless you neglected to use cooldowns

[twilit arch]

if dps are deciding to do single target damage on a wall 2 wall pull, then its their fault

[floral crystal]

oh so now its on us for cooldowns

which is it

[jade quartz]

Yes, that's your basic responsibility.

[agile laurel]

I said, the default stance should be pull large. That doesn't mean bluntly refuse to adapt

[jade quartz]

I'd suggest dropping the attitude

Single pulling is ok for learning maybe your first three dungeons or so

[agile laurel]

If your healer isnt capable or the dps are, uh, bad, then it's on you to adjust lighter

[jade quartz]

after that, those training wheels should come off

Double pulls are baseline and should cause no significant difficulty.

It's on you to be using cooldowns no matter how much you're pulling.

Increased numbers don't really change that.

[agile laurel]

In short, if nobody's protesting, do whatever tf you want, but if your healer, or hell even your dps - they can read the party's capability too - suggest you should pull more, it is not your place to say 'no, I don't feel like it, I am the tank'

[jade quartz]

Just because they didn't roll tank doesn't mean they're subservient to you

[floral crystal]

ok what if they are just pulling without saying anything?

[agile laurel]

'Tanks are the leader, you pull it you tank it' is a bad attitude in this game

[jade quartz]

Asking would be more polite but it's not a big deal

It's a pretty normal thing.

[agile laurel]

Then they probably expect you to adjust. Bit more impolite but just deal with it

[floral crystal]

and cause they roll healer doesn't mean anyone else is subservient to them? what?

[jade quartz]

Here's the thing

The majority of all players will expect larger pulls.

If you get four players who all speak and agree to go small and take twice as long, then fine.

But the default assumption is that everyone wants to go fast.

[agile laurel]

and frankly people won't learn to go fast if they don't try

[jade quartz]

Hence "the whole party determines the pace"

[agile laurel]

Sprout healer? Obviously don't put them through the wringer, but also don't coddle them

[floral crystal]

i did not know that since im on my 13th day playing but thank you for that information. i will now pull entire dungeons and if the healer cant keep up they are to blame. 👍

[proven wren]

Hey I’m lvl 30 atm and was just wondering if there‘s any kind of currency or points i should start earning as soon as possible (like weekly stuff idk)

[agile laurel]

Did you listen to anything we said

[jade quartz]

Again you don't have to pull the whole dungeon (though you can quite comfortably when you're geared enough and confident)

[warm snow]

Not really until 50

[jade quartz]

But two packs is baseline.

[warm snow]

Just keep progging msq

[agile laurel]

[worn flume]

the point in later dungeons is that there are walls preventing you from pulling the whole dungeon - hence "wall-to-wall" pulling

[proven wren]

Alright thank you

[jade quartz]

I advise taking the advice on board rather than getting sarcastic about it

[proven wren]

^^

[swift pasture]

How do I proceed to the next quest after I read konogg's message in the archieve?

[agile laurel]

we have no reason to lie about how it is

[warm snow]

Wait a week

[jade quartz]

Wait until next week

At weekly reset time

[warm snow]

Theyre 6 week quests

And reset was 2 hours ago

🇫

[swift pasture]

ohhh so it'll be 6 weeks more till I finish thee whole quest

thanks !

[warm snow]

I mean there's only a title and more lore locked behind it so no huge rush

Although it is a sweet title: Witness to the Dark Apocalypse

[swift pasture]

that does sound pretty sweet

[upper cove]

@proven wren maybe save your Allagan silver or even gold for this content called doma restoration in stormblood

[proven wren]

I don‘t even know what that is atm, but thanks anyways

[upper cove]

Yeah dw I was also just blindly saving

Its not required but it helps

[copper thistle]

how do i skip shadowbringers

[agile laurel]

can't.

[warm snow]

It's all a linear story

And since shadowbringers is the newest expansion no story skips exist

Also why would you skip shadowbringers?

[agile laurel]

done it before, probably.

[boreal storm]

Even If you skip it in November, you’ll still have to play EW like everyone else

[copper thistle]

I dont want to quest anymore

ive done enough

it feels like a job now

[warm snow]

Then play another game for a while and come back

[agile laurel]

mkay yeah that's not an option

take a break

[warm snow]

It's not going anywhere

[copper thistle]

Nothing else to play

[warm snow]

Then go play some side content from previous expabsions

I've nothing else to play so I want to skip the one game I do have to play

Wut

[boreal storm]

Do you have to play anything? Can you not, dare I say it, go live life?

[leaden ginkgo]

Don't try to make sense of it, you'll drive yourself mad. Point is, you can't skip the main story of shadowbringers

[copper thistle]

my computer is my life

[warm snow]

Well story skips cost real money anyways so buy a different game with that money then

[agile laurel]

hey isn't it in the pins where we don't clown on people who want to skip MSQ, guys?

[storm sapphire]

There’s like 2,600,000 games to play on the computer

[agile laurel]

regardless, you can't skip Shadowbringers msq

That's all

[warm snow]

We ain't here to tell you how to live your life

[copper thistle]

i like ff14 but the forced main story is killing me

[boreal storm]

Not clowning just confused

[warm snow]

Final fantasy game first, mmo second.

This is never changing

[upper cove]

@copper thistle if your objective is just to get to end game raids

Theres no two ways about shadowbrinfers

You can skip the cutscenes maybe

[warm snow]

Can't even play the current raid tier til you finish 5.3 anyways

[copper thistle]

is it atleast shorter than others

[upper cove]

Non serious question. Why has sb been shitted on so hard

[jade quartz]

You must do the story of Shadowbringers, there is no way around it.

[warm snow]

They're all around the same length

[upper cove]

I just finished base sb and the first arc of post sb

[jade quartz]

If you want to complain about it then #rants not here

[warm snow]

Although they've been getting progressively more voice acted cutscenes

[upper cove]

Not as emotional as HW but its still great imo

[jade quartz]

SB is just generally perceived as weaker than the two expansions which surround it

[warm snow]

Sandwiched between ShB and hw which are both fantastic, bit of a janky launch and being torn between essentially 2 stories didn't help the pacing

[jade quartz]

It's not bad

[copper thistle]

I just wanna replace my boosted armor it looks stupid

[upper cove]

I see

@copper thistle you can glam over it

[warm snow]

Raubhans wall lol

[copper thistle]

can i use a costume in combat

[junior walrus]

When does the DRG class unlock the gauge thing?

[warm snow]

Glamour FAQ

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

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

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

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

[junior walrus]

It appeared in my HUD settings but I don't see it

[warm snow]

Heavensward

[boreal storm]

I feel like some people looked at stormblood and went “eww politics”

Don’t know why

[junior walrus]

During the DRG quests ?

[copper thistle]

do u gotta collect the gear u want to glamour

[boreal storm]

Yes

[junior walrus]

Yes

[warm snow]

Both from drg quests and in the hw levelling range

[copper thistle]

i prob wouldnt have anything then

[twilit arch]

!action blood of the dragon

[warm snow]

[twilit arch]

[warm snow]

And there's wedding tailor in uldah if you want a fun dumb costume to start with

[copper thistle]

wheres the market

[boreal storm]

Have you not gotten any job gear?

[warm snow]

In almost every city theres a market board

[warm snow]

He doesn't like it

[copper thistle]

how do i get the dark knight armor

[warm snow]

Which one

There's 3 different sets

[copper thistle]

idk i thought there was only 1

[jade quartz]

The level 70 DRK set can be bought from the Calamity Salvager

[boreal storm]

There’s multiple job gear for the older ones

[jade quartz]

the level 60 DRK set can be bought with Centurio Seals in Ishgard.

[warm snow]

The hw set has to be rebought with hunt currency in the forgotten knight in ishgard, the sb set can be rebought from the calamity salvager in any starter city and is probably what you have and the ShB you probably haven't progressed your msq enough for

[junior walrus]

Oh

[jade quartz]

level 70 set

level 60 set

[boreal storm]

Weapon not included

[upper cove]

Ngl most if not all of the 60 sets look amazing

[warm snow]

If you don't like the helmets there's a button to hide your helmet in your character menu

[copper thistle]

whats the 3rd one

[jade quartz]

Weapon is included

[warm snow]

Shadowbringers

[jade quartz]

it's bought with Centurio Seals as well

[warm snow]

You can't get it yet

[copper thistle]

only linked 2 pics

[warm snow]

You need to be pretty much at the end of shadowbringers to get it

[dull shoal]

i’m currently stuck on a duty mission to access copperbell mines. takes so long to find a party. any work around?

[jade quartz]

The third set is level 80 at the end of Shadowbringers MSQ.

[warm snow]

Enable all languages on the duty finder and wait

[copper thistle]

oh

[warm snow]

Go do fates or your hunting log or craft or fish

Patience is a virtue and dps will always have shitty queue times

[copper thistle]

the 70 one looks cool

[junior walrus]

Wait if you get the DRK lvl60 set from Ishgard where do you get the older lvl60 job/class gear?

[proud willow]

if you're in Novice Network, someone there may be willing to jump on a healer and go in with you

[warm snow]

Same deal

[jade quartz]

From the same place

[junior walrus]

Ohh okay

[jade quartz]

Well you get it for free from your job quests.

[warm snow]

You originally get it from the lv60 job quests but to re acquire you have to buy from the vendor

[junior walrus]

Oh i see

[jade quartz]

You only need to buy it with Centurio Seals if you discard it or if you job skipped

[junior walrus]

Where can you get the seals?

[warm snow]

Hunts

[boreal storm]

Hunts

[junior walrus]

Oh so the hunting board

[warm snow]

Yeah

[junior walrus]

Okay thanks a bunch!

[warm snow]

They're really cheap iirc so a b rank and a few dailies should be plenty

[quick star]

What rank in your GC do you need to be to access the high rank material shop

[warm snow]

Depends on the material you want

[quick star]

Trying to get magicked oil cloth

[boreal storm]

It says next to each item what rank is needed

[quick star]

Oh ok

[junior walrus]

Just hover over the rank icons

[warm snow]

Even on PlayStation you can have a shitty digital mouse that can do it

[upper cove]

Track pad works just fine too

[copper thistle]

https://i.imgur.com/MAffiQh.png this is the only quest i got with glamour

That's just for crafting glamour prisms iirc

[upper cove]

Yea you can just buy the prisms

[warm snow]

You can buy prisms from your grand company for 200 a piece

[junior walrus]

You can buy prisms but you need to rank up first

[upper cove]

Or market board really

[warm snow]

200 gc seals

[shrewd prism]

are you able to transfer from one data center to another?

[warm snow]

Yes

For money

[shrewd prism]

Cool! because when oce servers come out, I'm gonna transfer! thanks!

[boreal storm]

It’d probably be free then

[shrewd prism]

oh perfect.

[warm snow]

Oceania servers will probably be new, new servers have free transfer

!faq servertype

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named servertype exists, Kupo!

[warm snow]

!faq worldtype

[zinc orbit]

Types of Worlds

Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.

Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.

Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.

New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.

[warm snow]

There we go

[shrewd prism]

So i'm confused, are worlds the server name like aether?

[warm snow]

Aether is the data center

Worlds are the servers

I.e. Leviathan moogle, shiva etc

[pine onyx]

At what time do we get khloe's journal again?

[jade quartz]

World and Server are terms used interchangably

[pine onyx]

I don't believe it shows on the timers

[warm snow]

2.5 hours ago

Week reset

[jade quartz]

A data centre is a cluster of worlds.

[pine onyx]

Neat

[shrewd prism]

@warm snow So would a server that falls under the category of "Preferred" be better for new players if there playin solo to level faster?

[warm snow]

Preferred servers give a 90 day exp buff for jobs below 70

[jade quartz]

yes

[gusty rock]

oh right we're even with data center travel in the future I don't see inter-regional matchmaking being a thing like NA and JP...
There's 2 datacenters in NA, etc

[warm snow]

Which servers are preferred change every patch

[warm snow]

More iirc

[jade quartz]

There are 3 DCs in NA

[warm snow]

2 in eu

[jade quartz]

3 JP

And soon one in OCE

[warm snow]

Oceania is probably only gonna get one

[shrewd prism]

But would ques be longer for dungeons on low populated servers? @warm snow

[warm snow]

There's not really any low populated servers

[jade quartz]

No, matchmaking is crossworld

[warm snow]

Just slightly lower

[jade quartz]

over the whole datacentre

and what Kat said

[warm snow]

And duty finder is across the whole datacenter

[jade quartz]

Populations are balanced and fluctuate

[warm snow]

So all worlds on light, chaos, primal etc

[jade quartz]

when one is slightly lower it gets designated preferred and gets an immediate influx

it's a population balancing incentive that works as intended

[gusty rock]

if you create a character during an off-peak hour you might be able to get preferred server?

[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.

[gusty rock]

I managed to get adamantoise with road to 70 a year ago, due to trying at a different time.

[copper thistle]

wheres the marketboard at

[warm snow]

Look for a bulletin board type icon in any major city

[shrewd prism]

Does anyone know as a aussie gamer... what data center is populated with aussies?

[warm snow]

It's labeled market board

[warm snow]

!faq worldpick

[boreal storm]

There’s 1 in each starting city

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

[warm snow]

Channys frustration here always makes me chuckle

[shrewd prism]

@warm snow ty very helpful.

[jade quartz]

Channy's not online 👀

[copper thistle]

i got the dark knight weapons but not the armor for some reason

[warm snow]

I know but he added the all caps part at the end of that command

[jade quartz]

Oh that is one of Channy's

[warm snow]

Which armor set are you looking for?

[shrewd prism]

as a new player I'm unsure what class to pick.. is there resources in this discord regarding picking a class, or like a overview of them

[warm snow]

It doesn't matter

[copper thistle]

dark knight sets

[warm snow]

You can play all the jobs on one character eventually

[jade quartz]

https://youtu.be/k_vH-1WZQ3A here's a very surface-level video that gives a really basic overview

[jade quartz]

You were told in detail how to get them twice

[warm snow]

The job specific sets aren't on the market board

[upper cove]

@shrewd prism id suggest going on YouTube, go for what you think is the coolest or most fun

[boreal storm]

Look for the calamity salvagers

[upper cove]

Otherwise all jobs are viable and can clear any content

[copper thistle]

i was told prisms were on marketboard but i dont see any

[warm snow]

Did you try the search bar

[copper thistle]

yes

[jade quartz]

They are.

Glamour Prism.

[warm snow]

Did you typo glamour?

Or did you just search prism in which case you need to tick the partial match checkbox

[copper thistle]

yea i just searched prism thought itd show up

[warm snow]

Without partial match it expects the full word from the start

[jade quartz]

Enable partial matching

[copper thistle]

done

[dense magnet]

in que for dps can i swap to mining? what happens when q pops?

[twilit arch]

yes you can swap, just need to swap back to the class/job you queued as

when queue pops

[dense magnet]

ok ty

[kindred frost]

It won't let you join if you are not on the job you queued up with

So it will force you to change

[dense magnet]

what are thoes buttons u can make that swaps jobs?

[warm snow]

Gear sets

[kindred frost]

Umm gear sets

[warm snow]

They can be added to hotbars

[dense magnet]

where do u make them?

[warm snow]

Make a gear set for each job

[kindred frost]

I had no idea you could add them to hotbar

Good to know lol

[boreal storm]

You just drag them from the set list

[warm snow]

I'm fucking lazy

[hard aurora]

lol

[sleek needle]

Can you swap class while in duty queue?

[dense magnet]

Thank you!

[warm snow]

Yes

[sleek needle]

Well, you can, but will it f* up stuff

[warm snow]

No

[boreal storm]

But you’ll have to change back when it pops

[warm snow]

You're still queued as whatever job

[kindred frost]

You can. But if you want to change job for the duty itself, you need to requeue

[warm snow]

So whenever queue pops you have to change back

[sleek needle]

Ah Kay do just swap back when you get a party, nice

[solar mist]

hello, does anyone know when the primetime for frontlines roulette is? with a timezone please so i can adjust

[sleek needle]

Thanks

[solar mist]

i’m on aether btw

[warm snow]

Daily reset probably it depends on your server

[pseudo hound]

is it possible for me to farm extreme trials unsynced for mounts? or must i be synced for it?

[warm snow]

Yes

[boreal storm]

For NA it’s 11am est

[warm snow]

You can solo all arr EXs and the first 2 hw EXs with a little difficulty

[kindred frost]

Whats the command to check the new character creation availability in a world?

[pseudo hound]

aight thanks!

Got to #kupo-bot-spam !status <world>

Iirc

Do it here and baps will be applied

[kindred frost]

Baps?

[warm snow]

[kindred frost]

Ahh lol

[jade quartz]

baps

[hard aurora]

[jade quartz]

be warned

[kindred frost]

Krapfen?

Ohh baps

They look like krapfen

Sweet buns filled with apple marmalade

[warm snow]

Channys gonna demote u lyon

[worn flume]

nah these are just bread rolls

[jade quartz]

Channy has no power over me

Let's stay on topic though

Regretting posting the baps

[tranquil wolf]

got question, if i buy expan, when i sign in the launcher, it automaitcally starts download for the new expand correct?

[worn flume]

yes

[jade quartz]

If you own the expac, yes

[kindred frost]

Yes. But you need to register at the mog station

[warm snow]

Well yes but actually no

[kindred frost]

Before the client recognizes

[jade quartz]

Though sometimes there is weirdness if you are downloading both the base game and expacs at the same time

[warm snow]

All the content of an expansion is included in the base installation

[jade quartz]

Where it will only download the base game the first time you open the launcher, and then will download the expansions the next time.

[tranquil wolf]

what i mean is, i got standard. and just now i brought shawdow bringer and redeemed it, now my launcher asks for update again

[jade quartz]

Not sure what criteria cause it to happen.

[kindred frost]

I had beginner steam version. Then upgraded to shb last week there was a massive update

[jade quartz]

Yeah it's downloading the expansion.

[arctic willow]

Is it better to loot or to craft Weapon ?

[tranquil wolf]

and its non steam verison

just saying

[kindred frost]

And it didn't start download until I registered at the mog station

[tranquil wolf]

makes sense

[jade quartz]

In what context?

[tranquil wolf]

anyway to confirm in game that i got the expan other than mogstation

[jade quartz]

While leveling your first job via main story quests you get all the gear you need from main quest rewards and dungeon drops.

[twilit arch]

the login screen you see

[arctic willow]

Oooh ok

[jade quartz]

At endgame the best weapons are obtained through raid drops or grinding to upgrade a relic weapon

[kindred frost]

Your title screen looks different

[tranquil wolf]

i belive it is diffrent

[arctic willow]

It make sens thxx

[jade quartz]

Crafted gear has its place in the endgame gear progression treadmill but it's never the best gear.

[kindred frost]

Instead of answers opening theme, you will hear shb opening cutscene

[tranquil wolf]

it shows shawdow bringer

[kindred frost]

I love both though

[true jolt]

code from the green man gaming will not expire right?

[kindred frost]

Hi lexy

[shrewd prism]

is dark knight only a tank class?

[kindred frost]

I can't use that code sadly.. It's non steam. But shouldn't I suppose unless they give an expiry date on it

[analog gate]

yes

[true jolt]

o7 alrighty. thanks >.<

i dragged my friend into ffxiv XD

[kindred frost]

O nice

[shrewd prism]

that means that wouldn't deal much damage compared to your dps right? @analog gate or can they still dish out?

[kindred frost]

Like how my friend dragged me into ff14

XD

[glossy flare]

tanks still deal respectable dmg

but obviously not as much as a dps

you won't have any problem with solo content

[lethal cape]

So um, this scroll lasts 18 hours
Why when I go afk for 20-30 mins the effect goes off? I'm pretty sure I'm not a time traveler O.o

[boreal storm]

Healers can also do decent numbers

[clear canopy]

is "Alisaies Pledge" bugged? can't start it bc I can't find Urianger in waking sands, I have coil 5 done and primal awakening. i never got around to doing it and i finally am im actually stupid. i was in the quicksand. /facepalm

[worn flume]

because there is a limit to the amount of exp you can earn with it

as shown in the parenthesis

[lethal cape]

Oh so that's what it means? I see, thank you!

[worn flume]

yeah, so the effect for that one goes off after you earn a total of 6 mil exp

[shrewd prism]

at what level do you unlock dark knight? I'm reading conflicting stuff on the net regarding level requirement

[glossy flare]

technically lvl 50 but drk itself starts at 30

[kindred frost]

Lvl 50, and you have to reach ishgsrd. Basically start heavensward

[glossy flare]

however you need to complete all of ARR main story to access the location where it starts

[jade quartz]

You must have reached Ishgard in the main story which requires at least level 50 in any combat job

[glossy flare]

which will likely put you beyond lvl 50

[jade quartz]

But by the time you get there you will probably be a bit over, yeah.

Then when you unlock DRK it will begin as level 30.

[glossy flare]

It really boils down to: Complete ARR msq

[shrewd prism]

so smash msq and I'm chillin

[kindred frost]

Well praetorium is lvl 50. You will be well over for sure. By the time I hit heavensward I had 3 jobs past 50

[noble echo]

there's no material for resistance weapon locked in savage right?

[fallen topaz]

Yeah there's a whole load of quests between hitting level 50 and being able to go to Ishgard

[worn flume]

no

[twilit arch]

no, relic weapons don't ever require savage

[sacred oracle]

Is there an option to have better subtitle, it's hard to read the ye o' aye 'ave or idk whatever the NPC in Limsa is talking

[noble echo]

aight thanks, time to grind it then.

[halcyon tulip]

Thats just how pirates talk unfortunately

[glossy flare]

You can increase the text size I think

but you can't change the dialogue itself

[sacred oracle]

:(

[fallen topaz]

Most characters talk reasonably normally, except for some pirates and some Ye Olde English speakers

[upper cove]

Mr uri-angy

[glossy flare]

"Dost though not comprehend mine speech?"

[astral skiff]

is the tea bis the 475 gear you get from a dungeon?

[glossy flare]

some of it is but not everything

[faint flare]

Yes

Depends on pieces

Weapons are shadowbringers relic with stats specifically customed for it to avoid the sync cap

[junior walrus]

Anyone know where I can find Kobold Missionaries? Doing it for the GC hunting log but cant find it in bloodshore

[honest anvil]

stuff like specific mob locations are better googled imo 😬

[warm snow]

Some shit still wants e1-4s armor. It depends on your job

[honest anvil]

and some want augmented deepshadow stuff still

[warm snow]

Which was bis at the time

*insert grandpa Simpson meme here

[upper cove]

@junior walrus http://dimensionaldeath.com/index.php?page=huntinglogs

[sleek basin]

If I buy a shadowbringers key will I get stormblood aswell?

[glossy flare]

yup

[warm snow]

Yes

Because its all linear its impossible to own an expansion without the previous expansions

[junior walrus]

Oh thanks :o

[jagged sandal]

I’ve only started a few days now and I’m level 33 paladin but I was looking to go samurai at level 50 will I level up a monk as well as my paladin and switch the monk to a samurai since they use the same gear and start in the same area? Thanks 😊

[faint flare]

You don't have to

Each job is separate

And you get some starting gear when getting samurai

And any expansion job really

[jagged sandal]

So once I pick samurai I can still level my paladin right up to 80 ? And do I just need to complete the MSQ on one job?

[faint flare]

Yes

Msq is once only

[autumn drift]

Yeah looks like it

[midnight tinsel]

Are you healer or dps

[autumn drift]

Dps

[midnight tinsel]

Well

Theres your problem

[boreal storm]

You’re bound to get people doing trial roulette

I know I know

[midnight tinsel]

If your dps and quit at 30

[autumn drift]

But this is way, way longer than usual

[midnight tinsel]

No wonder

[jagged sandal]

Can I continue the MSQ on my samurai at level 50 then just dungeon level the paladin?

[noble echo]

yep

as long as it's the same msq level

[noble island]

you can switch jobs for msq as long as the min level is reached

[jagged sandal]

Aye I’ll just switch to samurai and level it up doing the MSQ at 50 then thanks 🙏

November 23rd, but early access starts on November 19th and for most practical purposes from a player's point of view that's pretty much the full release.

[green grail]

no, desynth cap went from 380 to 430 with 5.0, and seiryu weapons in stormblood were 395

[warm snow]

Gdi I have a sizeable stockpile from mount farming

[worn fog]

guys when i buy the game from steam i put my code in square enix website ??

[proud willow]

yes

in Mogstation

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[hollow turtle]

hello, i recently started leveling scholar and noticed that my arcanist is also leveling. If I were to become a summoner, would i be the same level as the arcanist was?

[worn fog]

thank you

[jade quartz]

yes

Scholar and Summoner share levels because they share the same base class

[proud willow]

Arcanist is the base job for both Scholar and Summoner, the only jobs in the game where that happens

[hollow turtle]

awesome

[jade quartz]

They're the only case of such a thing happening

[inland pasture]

Is there a time period I have to wait between getting my code from the Square Enix store and upgrading my account in a mog station, because I'm getting an error. I've typed the code manually and copy pasted.

[proud willow]

There shouldn't be... what's the error?

[jade quartz]

Are you entering the code in the correct place?

Upgrade to regular service

[inland pasture]

I'm pretty sure I am

[jade quartz]

That's the expansion.

You don't have the base game (Starter Edition)

[inland pasture]

[prime pecan]

In terms of actual time spent, how long does it take to level 60-80? Doing the most optimal thing.

[warm snow]

You bought dlc a game you were playing the demo on

[upper cove]

@prime pecan if you run purely roulettes, about 2 weeks

[warm snow]

For your first job, it doesn't really matter cuz msq, alts it depends on the role, time of day etc.

[inland pasture]

Does the starter edition include Heavensward and Stormblood?

[warm snow]

Just heavensward

Stormblood comes with shadowbringers

[prime pecan]

I'm a returner, was just wondering about alts and levelling now, healers would be quick with dungeons but dps would be potd, hoh and bozja right?

[warm snow]

Start edition is the base game which is EVERYTHING in the free trial

[warm snow]

If you're talking 60-80 hoh from 61 on

[prime pecan]

Some I've not leveled at all, what level does dancer start?

[warm snow]

60

Same as gnb

[leaden ginkgo]

So while leveling my second job to 60, my armory is full
What should i do with all that gear? Most of it is trash i got through quests or dungeons, but i dont have any crafters leveled so cant desynth it..

[warm snow]

Might as well do your crafters

[fallen topaz]

If it looks cool put it in your glamour dresser.

[warm snow]

Trade dungeon loot to your grand company for seals

Provided your rank is high enough

[fallen topaz]

Don't forget about your chocobo saddlebags and (if not in free trial) retainer inventory if you want more space

[leaden ginkgo]

planning to do that, but im capped rn..

[leaden ginkgo]

didnt even know thats a thing..do i just sell everything i dont need there?

[warm snow]

Pretty much

[leaden ginkgo]

great, should give me a bit more time for crafters lol

[warm snow]

Seals grab some dark matter for repairing if you plan on levelling crafters and glamour prisms in general

[shrewd prism]

Is there no way in having one name when making a character instead of a forename and a surname... do these both appear in game to other players?

[warm snow]

Since that's ofc the true endgame

[warm snow]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

You can change how you see yours and other players’ names but not how they see yours, I believe

[warm snow]

In game people will refer to you my RANK surname and such so you kinda need it

[leaden ginkgo]

Already have 999 stacks cause i can only have 300k gil and dont know what else to buy lol

[warm snow]

Retainer ventures for when you have the full game?

[inland pasture]

So I got the starter edition code and typed it in, and now I have this error?

[leaden ginkgo]

ye, ill get the full game when i get some more jobs/crafters to 60

[shrewd prism]

lol biggest trouble with these games is finding a name -__-, not one but TWO names

[fallen topaz]

I'm still pretty new, is there an advantage to repairing your gear yourself instead of paying what so far is a tiny amount of gil to an npc?

[leaden ginkgo]

Btw, what do do with all the materials and other drops i get? There is so much i dont even know where to start organizing it

[warm snow]

My surname is SA cuz 2 characters is the minimum and I had no ideas lol

[leaden ginkgo]

and it has to be good cause you gotta pay to change it

[solar cedar]

Really dumb question here! o/
All the realms are connected, yes? Does it matter what realm your character is on? Specifically asking for RP.

[shrewd prism]

@warm snow whats SA stand for LOL

[obsidian patio]

self-repairing adds 100% condition, which lets you repair items to be up to 199% condition

[leaden ginkgo]

all the worlds are, not data centers

[obsidian patio]

it's also cheaper than the mender NPCs

[warm snow]

When self repairing you add +100% to the durability of your gear allowing you to overcap up to 199%. Npcs just return it to 100%

[leaden ginkgo]

but you don’t see people from other worlds unless you visit their world

[warm snow]

Just Sa my surname is Sa in game

[leaden ginkgo]

so your choice does matter a bit

[solar cedar]

Ah, okay. So I'd want to pick the "RP" world.

[warm snow]

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

[grizzled marsh]

@shrewd prism Two names helps though because it makes it easier to find a non-taken name. Like say you want to be Bob. With just one name, Bob would have been taken ages ago. But with two names, you can have a ton of different Bobs. Bob A, Bob B, Bob C, etc.

[leaden ginkgo]

[fallen topaz]

Does >100% durability make the item better or just take longer to become unusable?

[solar cedar]

Is there a EU version of that command?

[warm snow]

Takes longer to break

[warm snow]

That's universal I'm afraid

Note it even covers oceania

[solar cedar]

[grizzled marsh]

You should definitely pick Balmung because we're the Moon Guard of FFXIV. nods sagely

[green grail]

moogle and shiva are EU

[warm snow]

Germans and frenchies too

[green grail]

so, its a worldwide command

[fallen topaz]

So basically I can keep doing what I'm doing until some particularly long/nasty dungeon where my stuff breaks and I regret my actions

[alpine shadow]

try a different network, like a mobile network

[solar cedar]

Okay so question. How's the lag when playing from EU to US data center?

[agile laurel]

Noticeable but playable

Source: hello

[warm snow]

Not pleasant but bearable

[ember vault]

Wait what lag?

[agile laurel]

If you get into high end content, consider a vpn

[ember vault]

is there an issue?

[warm snow]

Definitely don't want it if you're gonna try high end raids

Although can vpn

I just moved to an EU server

[agile laurel]

Mudfish and exitlag are repped

[ember vault]

I'm on an EU and not had lag

[warm snow]

Hes asking about being in the EU and playing on a us server

[agile laurel]

...but are you based in the US?

[ember vault]

no

[agile laurel]

that's the question

[warm snow]

[ember vault]

😄

[grizzled marsh]

Okay so I do have a non-Sprout question! xD How in the seven hells do you unlock the 2nd Nier raid?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey, is there a reason the UK support center chat is closed ? according to the opening hours they should be operational

[warm snow]

Beat the first raid and continue the

[ember vault]

Item level or main story progression

[agile laurel]

@grizzled marsh should be just doable after completing the first. Check the cave area.

[agile laurel]

this is false, it's related to neither

[grizzled marsh]

@warm snow I did beat the first one, but I can't find a continuation of the questline. I went in the cave and all that's in there is 2P who says nothing.

[ember vault]

Oh wait thats Bozjan

[warm snow]

And outside in the village?

[grizzled marsh]

Just side quests I haven't done.

[warm snow]

And you don't have any nier quests currently active?

[agile laurel]

miracles of Google

Once more the Dig Site Chief (X: 34.7 Y: 18.2) is your go-to dwarf for the YoRHa raid, but to unlock the second wing, Puppets' Bunker, you'll need to have cleared the two quests added in 5.2, starting with “Carnivals and Confrontations“, and ending with “One Way to Do It.” Mercifully, the Dig Site Chief i

[warm snow]

Imagine using Google for yourself

[jade quartz]

They're all blue quests

[grizzled marsh]

I did use Google.

And saw that.

But the Dig Site Chief has no quests for me.

[agile laurel]

really?

[jade quartz]

What is the last Nier quest you did

[agile laurel]

screenshot your quest log too

[jade quartz]

Check in journal > complete > Chronicles of a New Era > Yorha dark apocalypse

[grizzled marsh]

@jade quartz I dunno, I did that months ago. My problem is I play XIV in fits and spurts so I constantly lose track of things I did the last go-round.

[jade quartz]

So check there

[grizzled marsh]

Last one I did was "An Academic Dispute".

And that's cool I never knew there was a section for completed quests in the log.

[jade quartz]

Go into the caves and go in the big metal door to the copied factory

The quest is inside there.

It's an option of two but it doesn't matter which you take

[grizzled marsh]

Oh... I thought that just lead to the raid.

Going through the door I mean.

[jade quartz]

No it's an explorable area afterwards

[grizzled marsh]

The big one once you're in the cave.

OHHHH I didn't know that.

[ember vault]

It'll be the same for the Bunker once you've done it too

[grizzled marsh]

Totally unrelated question. What is the best mount and why is it the Manacutter? xD

BECUASE IT OBVIOUSLY IS.

[ember vault]

The best mount is clearly the Amber Chocobo

[grizzled marsh]

Lies.

[jade quartz]

That question is better suited for #general-discussion or #beginner-lounge

[grizzled marsh]

It's a joke, lol.

[jade quartz]

And that's why it's better suited for there

[grizzled marsh]

whispers But it is.

[inland pasture]

Idk why that worked, but it did. Ty.

[obsidian patio]

[jade quartz]

This channel is strictly for actual questions and help

[ember vault]

Lyon's only saying that cause they're fav mount is the company chocobo

[jade quartz]

Please take this to another channel

[random dune]

I want to do the amal'jaa beast clan quests; can someone remind me where the camp is?

[ember vault]

So question time, is there somewhere to recruit ppl for cluster running at Bozjan

[alpine shadow]

/shout

[ember vault]

Little Alamighou

i butchered that spelling

[random dune]

awesome ty

[heavy wadi]

Just shout in bozja/zadnor

[jade quartz]

Party finder or shout in the zone

most people just shout in the zone

[inland pasture]

What happens now that I entered the codes to upgrade my account. Am I on a paid version when I start the game, or di I need to install a new client or something?

[ember vault]

Shout isn't as effective as you think :/
