Is there anyway to mimic hotbar bindings to NPC hotbars during in-cut-scene battles?
No
IS there mythic + in FFXIV?
no
That's wow
So it's always going to be click and .. click? 😦 mouse dps ftl
kinda if extremes count for trials
Use your hotkeys
There are no hotkeys set-up for the npc hotbar
Ir should auto replace hotbar 1
Do you think playing WAR is better on the console due to the minimum amount of active buttons? I've been playing PC for years, and I'll switch to PS5 soon
All are fine on controller
You got 40+ hotkeys
Yes, though half of them are hidden somehow, and you need extra sorcery to see them
Can I msg someone that played wow too? I have a few questions
cause you've been playing on PC 😂
Just turning them on
I completed the achievement and got my Resplendent Minefiend's Pickaxe!
It has 3 materia slots so I thought I'd put GP ones in there but it won't take a grasp viii says the item level is too low. so I put a vii on but anything I try adding after that it says it wont be effective. How can I make the most of the 3 slots?
No, I mean there are hidden quickbars on the consoles, that you can only see when you swap your current quickbar to hidden one, so current becomes hidden. Like swapping them, you know what I'm saying
at least that's what I saw on YT
because consoles don't support full quickbars like on PC
With double tap triggers and holding both you have 40 slots without needing to cycle
I honestly fear the day I need to use controller, I don't even understand how to manage so many abilities with so few buttons
just wait
It's just turning on the extended and wxhb hotbars and getting used to it
This is the problem I'm having
Just wait
It happens when you Dc at times
The game hadn't logged you.off yet
So.just wait
Takes like a minute
Aww okay
can I report a person trying to sell gear/gil for real money? (I think it's a bot)
right click report RMT
okay just to make sure
I usually just black list and then report RMT
the person is selling runs essentially they'll clear a savage raid for u
and give u the gear for 20 usd
Since the base game is free I don't think reporting such bots makes sense at all. That person just creates new acc next day after ban and keeps doing it
Sounds like a service carry
what's a service carry
That has the knowledge of raids and dungeon
Lets just say you want too clear a certain raid or dungeon
You mean run sellers
I don't think he spams this from his main acc. Most likely it's just fresh bot acc with lvl 1 character
RMT is illegal in general, why would he care about this if he breaks ToS anyway xd
Well the guy is going too get banned
As I said — only his bot lvl 1 fresh acc. His main acc is clear
did they nerf eureka hydatos weapon steop
No
Also whats rmt?
real money trade
Real money trading

It's illegal flat out
!leveling
in MMORPGs I played before, people usually were selling runs for in-game currency, like gil. Not for real money
!faq altlvlguide
It'd this
Ty
why can't I exchange this item for GC seals?
@polar flame have you done your hunting logs?
Because it's your job gear
because it can be purchased from the calamity salvager
Wait is that japanese?
wait now I'm getting several answers
and items that can be rebought from that generally can't be traded for grand company seals because its an easy means of trading for them
job gear can be bought from the calamity salvage
I'm pretty sure I could turn in my artifact gear to the Quartermaster
Ones from the salvager can't be traded in
Cause then that's just infinite seals
That makes sense. Only gear you don't buy can be turned then
ah okay
How about Gerolt's twin in the Tempest, that gives lvl 80 armor for free?
I have no idea which gear can be found there
I assume it's stuff you got from the story?
Some part of it yeah
yes
But you have too complete a certain msq in shadowbringer
Which it probably requires you too complete it
And your role quests
I guess the small cross in the icon box indicates that the item can be salvaged
It keep saying connection with the server was lost
Last night eu has the same issue
Is there anything I can do to fix it or they got to have to patch it???
Why not try contact customer service
Are you log in at their site?
Yes
Try support I think
hey guys. ive got the free trail off the final fantasy website and using the launcher when playing. if i buy the bundle on steam with shadowbringers, will it still work the same way and be able to keep progress etc? thanks
@rapid vale yes but youll be locked to buying future content on steam
yeah no problem, thank you bud
i only need crystal tower for shadowbringers right? or do i need it for something in heavensward or stormblood?
Still not working :(
You need to do it before heavensward
The story blocks you
At 2.5
So like I bought Final Fantasy 14 for $20 on PlayStation 4
ohhh kk ty
That's the Base game price
What's that countdown reach to 0 does that mean I can't play the game anymore???
Hey yo what are some good ways to level a alt class? I’ve reached level 15 on gladiator and want to reroll
Hunting logs
So you need too clear crystal tower in order too proceed heavensward and I remember doing the quest for it
Grand company or scrips
Is that correct vinyl
Yes
The game blocks you at 2.5
Same place where it blocks you for not doing hard mode primals
Oh right those manuls...it's just scrips
I cant hire a retainer since i dont have rep? what do
Are the construct 14 mounts the most profitable item to buy when farming clusters?
ok ty
Vs cluster costd
btw do i only have to do one raid?
How to level sub job
!faq altlvlguide
is the duty finder the fastest way to find a raid group?
oh okay nice
Where i find them at ?
Its in duty
rly? wont i cap out anyway?
you dont need to do roulettes for your first job
I mean you can spam it or do w/ your current lvl too help w/ that but thats just me
Its better too look at guides
im still in free trial so i wont get past 60 anytime soon
Are you on pc or console
pc
Ah
what command is to switch cwls chat?
does anyone know of a cheat sheet/source that tells me level ranges for fates? like where to go for each level range when leveling and waiting for roulette?

is there a rotation or something with the yellow crafter store? tried to buy some oddly specific stuff but cant find it and on every site it says that its on any crafter lvl70 store....
I can find it on the market but not the yellow crafter lvl 70 store
What is meld priorities for Nin?
Have you unlocked the step of the Skysteel tools where you need those materials?

Hi all, I'm new to the server. I purchased this game today for Mac to play after I did the free trial. When I try to play the downloaded file it doesn't offer me a chance to put in the reg code and it stays on the free trial. I used my registration code on the mognet site and it says there that I have standard access. Playing the game, it's still the free trial. Anything I'm missing here?
you put the code in on the website
I did
im not sure then, sorry, im not a helper and i thought the answer i gave was correct D:
Can I move my PS5 trial character to the steam version?
I'm on with SE support just figured I'd ask here
So, I haven't played in a while. Not since 15 was the highest Bozjan rank. Is there a separate area I should go to gain rank in Bozjan from rank 15+?
Is it still possible to start playing the free trial rn?
@cosmic comet yes when you buy the game on steam
@leaden ginkgo zadnor
@ember mortar yes why wouldn't it be
i havent really looked into craft/gathering, do all of those classes have their own individual clothes/armor/whatever they're called? or do they all share similar equipment?
Yellow Scrips are the same for Stormblood's DoH/L gear as HW's right?
yes
And I have to get through the relevant relic quests, right?
yellow scrips are used for everything below 80
Thx
@leaden ginkgo you don't need relic quests to unlock zadnor
share
they have unique armors specific to them sometimes but absolutely not necessary
i love that
shared gear is more important to prio and less of a bitch for inventory space
it is advisable to level them up all at once every 5 levels because of how they share gear
yeah thats what i was afraid of, i have so much stuff in my armory chest just because i dont know what to save and throw away when it comes to like, any of my items, outside of turning dungeon items into GC
ohhh
also because they all are literally the same class but with different skill names and products
I bought it on steam but I cant activate the code I got because the steam option is grayed out on the MOG site.
Hm. Strange. I'm not seeing any quests and the web says "To unlock Zadnor players first need to have progressed enough with your relic weapon and Save the Queen story.".
Oh, I see it!
did you progress up to castrum lacus litore
oh yeah
Never mind, I am just the dumb.
lmao yeah i had that issue day 1 too
I came back after a long break and it's like "whoa".
what's this horse mount?
@cosmic comet you input it under windows, click "enter registration code"
Is there an ilevel to aim ffor to be in Zandor?
no it syncs like bozja iirc
Nice.
@glacial isle garo event mount, unobtainable now
Is a spell with 1 sec casting time and 150 potency better than the spell with 2 secs casting time with let say 160 potency ? for one can cast it more often than another
If they're both on the GCD the 2 second one is better, since you can't cast spells faster than your GCD.
thx for the answer
Hey there I have a question! As a new player that wants to try out FF, I wanna join some friends on Behemoth(Primal) NA. The server says that you cannot create new characters however. Ive been told that sometimes during non-peak hours, people are allowed to make new characters. Is it truly a possibility?
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.
it basically updates in real time, like every minute or so.
Okay thanks, I guess I just have to camp the char creation screen on server list tab then
where are some of the locations for dyemongers ? i only know one from limsa
they're always near a market board
Could someone skim this guide real quick and tell me if I'm missing anything
Mostly been doing daily roulettes, but looking into the wondrous tails they mention
is there a way to disable only the mount music that starts playing whenever you are mounted? i just wanna hear the zone music while im riding around :/
ooh ty much!
wait.. but then there is no zone music
There is
It disables mount music
oh im dum nevermind there is lol
thank the heavens no more chocobo theme music
🤣

Can trial account trade?
No
is heaven on high good for only leveling 50-60?
ohh ty
61
60
61-71
You leave the moment you hit 61
potd stop scaling at 60
thats why we say it its for 1-60
cause you can't enter HoH at 60
Yeah
That's what happened to me
You enter HoH at 61
Out of millions
Same with hoh
You need to do roulettes and beast tribes to go over the hump efficiently
Doing potd at 60 or more is a waste of time
You're getting literally nothing
It was never designed to be used to level beyond 60 yeah
Same with hoh
When did moonfire faire start last year and will it come back this year? Would love endless summer glasses
Hey am I right in thinking that pre-orderings endwalker gives you the new XP earring right now? or do I get that delivered once endwalker releases XD
August
Pretty sure moonfire already ran no?
Does it start the same time every year? Or around the same?
you get the earring now
thank you
Now
moonfire hasnt ran yet
And you can buy Endless Summer Glasses are on the mogstation
ty!
With a set
moonfire is always august because it also always doubles up with rising event
rising is always going tobe in august because its the anniversary event
omg ty
hey everyone! I've downloaded the trial launcher and it's asking me for a registration code, does anyone know where I can get this
where did you download from
did you get it from the site linked from "download"
I downloaded it from steam
steam's launcher can be a bit finicky. try closing and relaunching
Someone outside the USA asked me to get them a Butterfinger mount. Do I send them the receipt or do I register the receipt myself and send them the code? 🍫
how do they expect me to do this levequest
Can I assign sprint to a key? or does it have to be on my hotbar?
you don't have to hit those numbers, you just get a bonus if you do
@naive ridge that's not the problem
the problem is the level 50 monster blocking the other 2 mine points
register the receipt and send the code
It has to be on the hotbar
kk thx
I tried it twice, the monster killed me, and I just gave up, I'm not sure why that level 50 monster is there but it's making that leve impossible
well you can assign that hotbar to any key
yea, just wondering if it could be assigned directly
It’s a random rare spawn unfortunately :/
best bet is to go to ul'dah and ask someone at max level to come kill it for you
What’s the fastest way to make Castrum pop in Bozjan
Do I just keep reentering bozjan?
doing potd on another save slot which is on low floor. got 12 silver chests in a row applying to armor. what the FUCK IS GOING ON?
WHAT THE FUYCKJCKCKCCK
FFXIV rng is wild
hey guys, i was messing with UI scale and my chat box and chat font have become really small.
how can i make it normal size?
I think I found some bots in game, how do you report them?
support desk
it is
where is the support desk option located?
system
anyone know about chat font? I increased it in log details but its not getting any bigger
had it happen to me too
(sigh)
Non NA here, just wondering, how do I get Butterfinger mount?

13 now
I'm still trying to download my free trial and it keeps telling me I'm not able to download patch files
any ideas?
out of disk space?
doesn't seem like it no
How does the ff14 community feel about mouse over action/xiv launcher
I can make up to 12 custom deliveries per week regardless of NPC right?
Yes but each npc only has 6 turn-ins a week
How does the ff14 community feel about mouse over action/xiv launcher
potd only 100 levels?
100 via matched party
You can reach up to 200 via solo or fixed party
ask in #general-discussion
You need to run some squadron missions I believe
Yep or command missions
command missions better?
and your wait times
dps.
I'd still try dungeons and roulettes, as they'd probably give a bit more exp
I usually run command missions because potd bores me (potd is the more xp-efficient method though)
hmm ty
You gotta do squadron missions for 1st lieutenant then more squadron missions + 5 unique command missions for captain
does the story continue past 100
Sadly i havent cleared past 50 to be able to say that x.x
:(
someone gave me this how do i use it?
i don't think so but i've only gotten to 150
tyvm
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Are zenith weapons unable to be placed in the glamour dresser? Can you only use them as a glamour if it is in your armory chest?
You can only place the replicas in glam dresser
When I swap classes some of my bars still have my previous class skills on them how do I change that?
realize that if you main the class you literally get dozens of hours to learn it and you dont have to be perfect
turn off shared hotbars in the ui menu iirc
you can go to lv50, 60, 70 content to practice more simple versions of that
I hear summoner opening is hard but the rest is easier
honestly the summoner opener looks scary
but its really not when to break it down into its parts
yep
yoo new tank here. just got hallowed ground. Is it best to use it in the beginning of the dungeon after pulling a lot of mobs?
practice is key :3
this is my smn hotbars
play more summoner, and you'll understand why it's like that xD
yeah, its pretty great if you're pulling w2w
I love summoner tho cause carbuncles are my friend and I adore dot gameplay
its really not that bad, and like llauqs said, you've got the whole leveling process to get comfortable with it
I probably shouldn't use it on a boss in dungeon runs huh? like in the beginning and near the final boss fight to make runs faster?
most dungeons don't have a TB that needs HG
so using on trash is a great use of it bc then the healer can dps
my thought process is that bosses in dungeons are...well it's hard to die from them
exactly
okay thanks a lot!
haha thanks for the tips yo ^o^
Heya, Im new do I pick Aether, Primal, or Crystal?
Any
!faq worldpick
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
How much I'd ff14 a month
you dont need a guild to raid
entry sub is 12.99
does anyone quene for hard lvl 50 dungeons?
only need 8 people to raid
?on duty finder
yeah it's included in roulette
raiding can be done with ANYONE in the datacenter
Wait so tomestones reset????
no, only the weekly cap
Is it just me or do the voices change once you reach HW?
correct
So it's 12 99 a moth or
Yes
guys i just unlocked heavensward and i heard if you buy stormblood you can unlock samurai, but i cant find where to buy stormblood by itself
Oh I thought I was just hearing stuff lmao
That's expensive
Not really
shadowbringers includes stormblood
its free
Wait I’m confused
What's the best way to farm aetheric condensation/light for the anima relic weapon?
It’s basically 40 cents a day
the weekly reset affects tomestones of revelation
poetics and allegory can be farmed to your hearts content
yeah only the caps reset 😂
its free where? it says its 40 dollars on mogstation
3+ people lv 80 A9S spam
just burst it down, ignore mechanic
Ohhhhhhh gotcha. Haven’t gotten to those tomestones yet, just poetics
The Eyes of the Creator (Savage) (A9S) if you can get people for it, otherwise can do any of the lvl 50 ARR dungeons unsync solo
Stormblood is included with shadowbringers, no extra charge
the expacs used to cost 40 apiece, but now you can buy both shadowbringers and stormblood for 40$
Do people still do A9S? I feel like its gonna be difficult to find a party
People still light farm

Hows it not expensive
compared to wow or other mmos
150$ a year IS still a lot
it kept me away until last year
Does anyone know how to find BLU spells that are casted from the face? I need 4 to do Four-faced weekly challenge but only found two
But it’s not like you have to be constantly subbed
I wish it didn't have a subscription
Because it's one of the best mmos
All I want is to.play a good mmo and not kill my wallet
hmm pretty sure plenty of good mmo out there
at least the free trial is massive
that doesn't requires sub, but this might not be the place to ask
.
is anyone interested in teaching me how to play the game? 😄 (Im new to this game but not in the mmo genre) im on Light - Shiva server, and im looking for a newbie friendly Free Company
Guild wars 2 one time purchase but I play both
what's your main class?
I’m pro tank ask me anything
Dark Knight (Was always a tank in every mmo that ive played before) @manic flare
watching this is a must
Patch 5.5 Note: Living Shadow now is affected by Grit, increasing Enmity gains
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip? Have no idea what anything does because you start at 30? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Dark Knights how to Dark Knight properly, without getting too deep into op...
weskabler is awesome, simple to understand but gives enough detail to understand why button good
yeah i have watched this guide before
What is it ur trying to learn ? Tank mechanics
Tanking wouldnt be an issue for me, the thing that i would like is a company to do stuff with, i would like to clear all of the older content from level 50+, ive cleared almost everything before lvl 50 except Bahamut, since i could use some help there from a friendly company 🙂
what can you get from the weekly nier quests?
If you can’t find a fc best bet would be party finder or get to level 80 and unsynch bahamut
Similar to do Doman restoration. Completion of it gives you extra dialogue/cutscenes for the nier story regarding one of the lalafell from the side story
a title
like specifically; I know you can get stuff but which stuff
I know you can get the Weight of the World inst roll and "Witness of the Dark Apocalypse" but is there something else besides that?
no
kk thanks
its very little tbh
how do people /sit differently? I'm seeing all kinds of different sitting positions, but mine always does the same one
type /changepose
cooooooooool!!
also type /characterconfig -> character -> idle animation delay
tick the randomise idle animation
so it always changes
thanks, I had that one checked
So whats the drop rate for the Onion Knight and Puff of Darkness from the Crystal Tower raids? Because I got both of them first try and I feel like I shouldn't have.
100%
and people run those raids almost daily
so they all probably have it
If you are the only first-timer, you probably have very high chance getting it
that makes sense.
I just have this ingrained mentality of "MMO have low drop rates" I guess
i really like ff14 but im worried about paying 12.99 a month
play free trial..
oh wow I reached the gil gap for the free trial
So the 300,000 gil gap. If I keep going despite this is this gonna hurt me at all?
I still got the entirety of Heavensward
Gil is very easy to get, you shouldn't worry
just enjoy the story and take it slow
alright
Max out on gysahl greens and dark matter 7 with your capped gil
When you reach HW, you can start spending capped gil to do collectibles in idyllshire
If you're doing beast tribes, tbe mounts from each tribe is 100k
For Arr that is. hw beast tribe mounts are 200k each
does ff14 get expensive
In what sense?
After the initial payment for the game license. Its just a flat payment per month
If you're worried about cost, stay away from extra retainers and mog station items and you'll be fine
ok
You can pay for extra retainers? Interesting
thx i think i will commit to it
oh and to answer this not really because at least for me, when I was doing single player games I found myself spending more than sub price every so often for new games
You can choose to stay on the entry level sub i.e. 1 character per server. No reason to pay a few dollars more for more character allowance id you don't want alts
What catboy said
It takes me about a month to finish a ps4 rpg
At full cost its like 70 bucks a game
Where can I get Dark Matter 7>
3 main cities have it
!item dark matter grade 7
but I don't quite remember which shop has it
so how would i get the subscription if i buy it through steam
ok
It should be in every starting city’s shopping district
@tacit river monthly automatic via credit card, crysta via mog station or game time cards
Its the same for every platform
ok
You do the stuff via mogstation
congrats
can someone explain the basics of thaumaturge to me
all the guides online are super complicated and i dont understand
i understand that astral fire gives more dmg the more u cast it
and umbral ice increases mana regen
but it just seems so vague
!faq blmlevelling
Hmmm
Until you’re a black mage, it doesn’t really open up
hmm
!faq blmleveling
Its basically almost always
Astral fire phase as long as possible with the big boom boom
Umbral ice phase till max mp and apply thunder dots
This principal stays with you till end game
ok thank you
Along the way you get more skills to supplement the phases
Your fire phase gets longer while you get to do more useful stuff during the ice phase
is there any mmo that even rivals this one besides wow
ok well basically the only thing i dont udnerstand is why transpose is useful
To keep your fire/ice stack on 1
Instead of 0
At higher levels you will hardly use it
You will get spells that grants you 3 stacks of either fire or ice on cast
Transpose is used to save yourself in later rotations, to keep enochian
you also transpose to keep stacks during downtime yeah
When you unlock fire 3 and blizzard 3 you’ll almost never be using transpose unless you need to save an UI or AF tick
when im at max astral fire stacks the blizzard only costs 200
which is 100 less than the base cost
why would i transpose in that situation
can someone get into a call and show me
im still kinda confused
transpose if you can't do anything else, once you unlock fire 3 and blizzard 3
or to keep the Enochian buff, yes
how and where can I rebind the controls of the bard performance keys thing?

ok im starting to understand now
Yep yep
press the cogwheel
im now sure what enochian buff is but i think i got the basics down at least
Its basically to keep uptime on your stacks at lower levels
@smoky igloo YouTube weskalber blm
Would I be correct in assuming that the glamour system for trust only allows you to use outfits that the characters in question have worn in game?
Have a good idea what a BLM is capable of
im starting to understand the importance of the stacks
Would imagine so, otherwise Alisae would be looking awfully strange in certain outfits...
He explains each skill very well
oo ty
Alisae's model is male, in case none of you knew.
thank you
Stacks help you keep on casting
yeah weskalber blm 1-80, definitely the way to go
Is it a common practice to only do the MSQ and job quests for leveling until endgame?
@smoky igloo you might also want to watch his caster role action video

This guide seeks to teach new Black Mages how to Black Mage properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that...
But ye, how do trust glamours work exactly?
you can also do the other blue quests, they are recommended to complete
Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate you.
since they unlock contents like raid/dungeon/trials/important features
like glamour, dye, materias, etc
but 2 most important part are still job quest and MSQ
i think the main reason im getting confused is bc i didnt understand that astral fire and umbral ice were buffs at first
for some reason they dont show up on my screen
Weird
I gotcha, I'm lv 19 and I'm doing lv 13 story quests so I google'ed it and they said to do the side quests for other jobs once I max, just wanted to make sure it wasn't fake news.
yeah story level > your job level
How long does it take to lvl 71-80 in Bozja?
it's often encouraged to level multiple classes at once since MSQ gives so much exp
i see the elemental gauge but im watching the video and the guy has a bar that shows how many stacks of umbral ice and astral fire he has
i want that
yeah, type /hudlayout
click the elemental gauge and change it to the simple version
hope you enjoy the explosions
Big boom boom is the way
is it possible to group up with a friend to do msq stuff together or is msq more solo stuff
MSQ leans towards more solo stuff, but there will be some quests you can do together that involve dungeons or trials
Unless it specifically involves duty finder
Which Heavensward Raid is fastest to complete?
EDIT: Void Ark appears to be the answer.
ah okie ty much!
do I have the item in my armoury chest in order to glamour?
to manually glamour with a glamour prism, it has to be in your inventory or armoury chest
If you put it in the glamour chest and put it on a plate, you don't need to physically carry the item anymore
I do I get a glamour chest?
Does Heavensward have a really long post game quest line until i can reach Stormblood? kind of how at the end of ARR i had to do a very long mundane questline to start Heavensward?

how do i get hq gear?
Craft it or buy from marketboard. some msq gives you hq gear too
oh fr? thank you
id like to note
as you get to higher levels
it may get quite expensive
to buy directly from the market, do take care
Does the Levelling Roulette and 50/60/70 roulette bonus exp get used if you're max level? Want to help a friend with his but needs a tank and all mine are max level
Yes you get tomestones instead
So if any of you care, i put together a guide since i havent been able to find one on how to multibox bard for people to learn and pick it up. Its super fun and thought I’d share the info with everyone 
How to create a multi-box bard band! By Thee (Discord: Thee#1497) This guide isn't meant to be a comprehensive guide of all aspects to barding or barding from start to finish. What it is meant to do, however, is give you a quick and solid start to the process of building a multi-box bar...
If I cast synastry on a player, then heal them with a GCD, do they get the bonus 40% healing?
henlo, does anyone have a miner armor guide for ilvl 130 and above?
i just got my ilvl 130 gear but idk about the bracelets and whatnot
Yes
ty
If you’re healing the same person you put synastry on then it’s basically just a straight healing buff
is fisher better for getting white scrips or miner/botany
so i meandered into the fate where you fight the behemoth and got 5 horns, so i guess i can get some of its themed gear? its below my lvl though, and was thinking of glamouring it, but wasnt sure how glamour worked yet. is there a way i can tell if its glamourable? i see "replica" versions of it in the same list, so im kinda confused
whats the best way to get allied seals?
You can glamour it as long as your gear is higher level
the daily hunts are really slow
The Hunt
Find a hunt linkshell and/or discord
i dont know how it works in NA, you joined their hunt discord?
it's DC wide organised
do people even do hunts for arr stuff anymore?
pretty sure they do
I have a question, how does one identify if Squadron gives +60% exp boost?
Is there some way to make it more obvious when something on my hotbar is unavailable because of level sync?

@young steppe that might not be true considering theres errors in other things that guy said
leves arent good for combat classes
fates are better to get to lvl 15 when you can do sastasha
squadrons give about the same exp as running the dungeon with other players
@fallen topaz no
i mentioned that i ran into that behemoth fate, i understand there are several fates like that on timers, and i think i saw a website where people track them? does anyone know what that is?
i want more cool glamour stuff now that i have one lol
join the hunt discord
Oh well, thanks
Thanks!
can i find that just by googling "the hunt discord ff14" ?
i guess i could just try that and find out
yeah each DC/region use different one I think
centurio has all dcs
to show you the weather, yeah
Oh, I didn't know that they forecast special weathers
nice, good to know
yes, mostly for fishing
And taking pictures
there are a few hunts that do have certain weather requirements iirc
I see
You sense the presence of a powerful mark...
?
S rank is spawned in the zone
Are ShB S ranks all 80?
Yes
I'm definitely not touching it then 
S ranks are always the level cap
the dancer is from archer ?
no
Dancer is stand alone
dancer has no base class
Archer turns into bard
and how to go for dancer?
get any class to lvl 60 and own shadowbringers
how do i tell whats a main quest or not?
what should I spend poetics on while im in the middle of SB before I get to scaevan gear? ive been capped for a few days now
thank you
@potent bay special flame outline
@potent bay this icon
Should I only be doing those?
They should be your main focus
which squadron dps does most dps ?
@potent bay those and your job quests
ty
@remote lintel could I get your help for my question above?
!faq poetics
archers are the usual go to, arcanist is also a decent secondary choice as they can also act as secondary healers
what can you do with antique armory?
trade them in mor dhona to augment the job gear
got a quick question regarding anima weapons since the ressources i find online are a tad confusing for me - if i want to get to the cronus for glamour reasons, i start the quest line at soul without life, right?
thanks
@wraith parrot if its your first anima weapon you need to do an unexpected proposal in idyllshire
i’m doing 2.x quests rn and i can’t continue cus it’s asking me to do hard modes of certain primal fights? i checked the wiki, it said the first one was to talk to Thancred in Waking Sands but he has no side quest available to me
i think thats already done, since ardashir offered my DRK already the soul without life one, i think i started my DRG one some time before i took a break
then you do soul without life
@leaden ginkgodid you do "a recurring problem" from minfilia
welp, alright, gonna be the first time ill probably see the grind through because that cronus sure does look juicy..
@leaden ginkgo you might have already started it accidentally . Just check your duty list
the only quest minfilia has is good intentions, which i can’t do without completing the side quests
and i don’t see a recurring problem in my journal
check your conpleted quests
only has the easy versions
last completed quest is let us cling together
Complete quests > chronicles of a new era
which msq are you on

If you believe this error to be a bug please report to the Kupo Bot Support Discord: http://discord.gg/4dpPFcWURA
:/
next one is “good intentions” but i physically can’t do it without those 3 done
if i want to buy and fc house do i have to wait for a timer?
like i can’t claim the msq
!quest ifrit bleeds, we can kill it

Bah
no ik the quest
it’s just
bro does not wanna give it to me
Reason: Don't use emotes with racial slurs in their name
while i stand still.... damn ok
It’s for downtime in boss fights mostly
sick
Can you not put Zodiac weapons (in this case the Zenith SMN one) in the Glamour Dresser?
like at all?
(the actual book, not the replica)
no, has to be replicas to go into the dresser
What is the pet hotbar for?
Pets. SMN and SCH
Ohh
(and Arcanist but that turns into SMN/SCH)
is the cross data server visiting going to come with endwalker or after?
if I pre order endwalker, do you get the exp earring right away?
Recommend disabling the pet hotbar though
You only need 2–3 of the actions on it, and you can put those in your normal hotbar instead
EXP earring is delivered in game once you register your preorder code
awesome, does the preorder come with a 30day sub?
They briefly mentioned that they’re aiming to get it out before the expansion but they haven’t specified a definitive date as of yet. A steam listing briefly and perhaps erroneously stated that it’s coming with 5.58 but that’s unconfirmed.
i see 
In other words, we don’t know yet. 😅
hi, sorry if its a wrong channel to ask but can i buy subscription from mogstation using credit card? i only have steam and paysafecard options
send a screenshot, make sure no personal details are visible
You should be able to
if not, you can also try the Crysta option
You can use a debit card if you have one
That's what I do.
I don't know if this is still true, but I remember SE being strict with chargebacks, even if not intended
I believe you can use your credit card via Steam Payment?
If you have it added on steam anyways
and no, there's no extra fees for doing it that way
What is Urianger's || weapon in ShB ||?
||The level 80 grendolt weapon||

So I'm level 60 now can I become a gun breaker or do I need to get into the expansion before I can be one?
You need to own the expansion registered to your account
But there’s no MSQ requirement
Alright cool
Unlocks with a quest in Gridania
Okay hold up...
We are already able to run around the Nier raid dungeons outside of a duty instance for those one quests, right?
So why the fuck are they not yet available in explorer mode?
I don't think any of the alliance raids have explorer mode yet. Do they?
Well why would any of the other ones? They are pre 5.0.
does anyone know how to put in my numpad input into macro?
But the point is, if there is already a means of exploring it solo, why is it hard to make it a dungeon that can be visited in explorer mode?
Moreover, why is it even difficult to implement explorer mode into existing dungeons in the first place?
This seems more like something that should be in rants or general discussion
explorer mode so far is only for dungeons
Speaking of which...
Was just doing "To Make Amends," was at the solo part in the Puppet's Bunker.
Got to that one part where you're at that control-room like place and you jump off the deck, after which there is no way back up.
Raw Intuition @dire prawn
Only to realize I missed the objective.
So I figured if I used return I would go back to the beginning of the dungeon like usual...
Is there a question in this or are you just venting
LOL NOPE!
Back to Eulmore.
Curious as to how I was supposed to get back up there without doing that...
Theres teleporters in the exploration versions of the copied factory/puppet's bunker
you use those

They don't only go one way?
it takes you back to the start of the zone
The teleporters bring you to the entrance in the fake instance
when do you get first mount
is it like one of the level up or you need to unlock it
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Thank you
have just got my free trial registration but then goes onto ask for a 20 digit code which i do not have. any help please.
did you download the trial launcher?
Did you get the free trial launcher and not the regular one?
why isn't FFXIV recognizing preperatory touch in my macro? 😦
!faq trial
download link for the trial launcher, should you need it
Guys, just got KO. I chose to wait, but don't see anyone near me. Am I stuck now?
look for the little popup in the bottom left of your screen
you can still manually revive from there
Bottom right is the default i think
yeah... true
is there a way to get the sprout thing back :d
too early in the morning
What's the max ilvl the woeborn can get to
I don't quite remember the command but it should be /nas on
535
though it's no longer called Woeborn at that point
Oh very nice
behind the menu is the pop up
it says i dont meet the requirements
ugh I don't recall, but more
then you are no longer sprout eligible
congrats, you are no longer a newb
I couldn't wait to get rid of the sprout 😂
there are 6 stages of the weapon itself, but more stages of the actual process to go through
me opposite xdd
relics are a grind by design
Awesome cheers bud
the weapon also changes its look a few times, but you can get old stages as a replica
does the gear on my retainers affect how much xp they get during ventures?
no
no, it just affects on what kind of ventures you can send them
hmm?
for DoW they need higher ilvl for higher level ventures
you mean I need a certain item level to send them to certain ventrues?
for DoL it's just the gathering stat that matters
in theory you could, but no reason to not dump your old gear on them tbh
anyone know how to check the last time you could create a character on Sargatanas? like a website or something 😦
they can be other jobs when reaching lv30 and you apply a job change scroll, I believe
Wasn't aware a job change scroll was a thing. I get those where?
talk to the retainer vocate to buy it with venture tokens
just use the class as your main, or suffer having to level other classes just for your retainer equipment ;D
I don't if anyone knows these shield items, but is a bull hoplon still better than a dedicated iron scutum. The hoplon has a higher block rate while the other has a much higher block strength.
Take whichever one is recommended when you use the recommended gear option
Sub stats including your main stat are waaaaaaaaaay more important than def and block rate
The item is something I was thinking about buying off the market
Don't
Vendor gear is pretty much universally bad
You'll get better gear from doing levelling dungeons
not just the story ones?
Story gear is just hq crafted gear
Take it and use it it's about on par with the dungeon gear
I'm only lvl 36 paladin, so I haven't really messed with anything besides the story and role quests.
Once you become paladin you'll stop getting gear from job quests
You'll get armor from your 45 and 50 quests
That nice looking white armor?
