Can you disable the damage numbers that come up for when you get hit?
a relief that it just didn't disappear completely though
what's the penalty when dying on dungeons?
since im guessing it has like unlimited resu right?
yea
so no exp decrease?
oh ok
@shrewd prismyep it can be toggled here in the character settings. Flying text and popup text
So when should I start leveling my crafters/gatherer classes? I think I was told during Heavensward a week or so ago
ok
thats the powerleveling area
up to you really, imo prio your gatherers to 56 so you can start grabbing dragonskin treasure maps. easy money on the mb.
I still got a lot of MSQ to go before I get to Heavensward.
I'm just queueing for Odin forever rn. I don't want to continue the MSQ while waiting because it might be a long cutscene that could get interrupted
How is queing for odin? Is it easy to do in duty finder?
yeah gathering is a nice activity to do while waiting for a queue
what is the red online symbol supposed to signify? i heard it's the "dc symbol" but what exactly does that mean
If the queue pops during a cutscene you get to start again at the beginning of the cutscene (I think you have to not have changed job for this to work)
ye you need to be the job you queued as to accept a pop in a curscene
Dont queue for odin … put up a pf for it … or do it unsync
I can't make a PF because I'm free trial.
Guess I'll have to wait for my friends to get on.
Yeah i figured
Its weird though. The only Trial (Hard) that people PF for.
It’s only “hard” in name
Are zones circular? meaning if I go to the edge of a map, am I going to show up on the other side?
it’s effectively an extreme fight
oh I see.
harder than hard
No
ok thx
I'll wait until my friend gets on to see if he can make a PF on it
Hey guys so instead of waiting around for my que to be done what could I do while I wait? Quests? Fates?
!faq altlvlguide
that'll give you some options to look at
Depends on where you are right now. Could be leveling your doh/dol. Beast tribe quests. Doing hunts. Blue side quests (more specifically aether current quests)
How do i get back to 3rd person view?
press the home key
What's the home key on keyboard?
anyone know where the cendor for this stuff is cant find it on google
Not from a vendor
I believe it’s from one of the Alexander trials
Right now I’m queued up for msq quest ( the gift of the archmagus to be precise😂 ) what are DOH/DOL quest? By hunts do you mean the GC hunts? And what exactly are aether quests @wet grotto. Sorry for the barrage of questions😂
i know it drops from instance idk where to turn it in
Oh, Illydshire vendors
ty
im 60 but havent unlocked it why?
do your quest
gift of archmagus isnt a msq quest iirc
what quest?
job quest
your job quests
im still in arr can i still do job quests above 50?
no
nope

DoH/DoL are crafters and gatherers. Goldsmiths, miners, etc. By hunts, yeah, GC/clan hunts. Especially HW hunts. Centurio seals will be helpful for unlocking lvl 70 gear in the future since ||Scavean gear|| won’t unlock for awhile and you might be overleveled. Beginning in HW and following expacs, you will need to collect aether currents in the open world and through MSQ and blue quests to be able to fly.
My brother is saying something about the relic weapon quest that I should do. I just started stormblood, is the quest/rewards worth doing?
Only for glamour or if you’re a completionist and wanna collect em all
Alright, thanks.
Is it best to wait and get my main job to 80 first before leveling an alt job?
I would say so
If you want the most out of armoury bonus
Yeah I’m wanting to most efficient way
if you're overleveled for the story, it wouldn't hurt to take another job to soak up roulette bonuses and such
^
but yeah, try to stick to one job on the way to max level before dividing your attention
how long does it take to lvl all crafting from 70 to 80 and 2 jobs from 70 to 80 ?
and fisher from 73 to 80
Personally, took 2 jobs from 70-80 last week
Step in it and enemies will spawn
just trying to do my ARR stuff and i keep getting merced
by king of the fucking hammerbeaks
Ask in novice network
call it out in /shout, see if someone can come and kill it
What are the benefits of having a spirit bond with your gear?
Free materia
Anything else?
Nope
nope
it is just a source for materia
there are no bonuses to anything like stats or durability
Question
What level I need to reach to unlock nuts quest
I really want to go nuts for those bags of nuts
is there a way to get the glamour of the man and woman from the crystal tower questline?
Yes
I want bags of nuts for mount purpose
!quest Nuts to You

Doga is wearing the High Allagan Fending set, Unei is wearing the High Allagan Healing set
more generally, this website https://garlandtools.org/ is a good place to check things like what equipment NPCs are wearing
Also need to have unlocked all previous expac clan hunts as well
oh nice thanks
Is it important to spend Poetics when ur capped? Or is it a useless currency
For relics, Ironworks, Shire, Scavean, etc.
it's not "useless" but if you're playing the game it's not hard to get more
so spend 'em if you got 'em, but don't beat yourself up over it if you accidentally waste a few by going over the cap
Ah ok I guess it depends on what I want to do, thanks cookie
ok thanks!
if I'm elemental level 50 in pyros, and a low level tags a sprite and I kill it, does the lowbie get challenge log progress for the sprite?
why i cant use some high lvl skills on duty roulette?
!faq levelsync
oh come on
your level is set to the level of that dungeon
mostly
You can always swap them at any time^
plus, unless you're a black mage most low level skills will always be needed
Was there ever confirmation that SQEX will focus on improving PvP for endwalker?
No
ty
sigh 😦
you shouldn't be replacing skills on your bar
pretty much every button you get is going to still be there in some form even at max level
i am trying to upgrade to full version on pc but it sends me to the ps4 ps5 choice
i was purchasing an item from the FFXIV online store, this error showed up after i selected my payment method
there is the windows choice
I'm completely new. Um. Does Patron make any difference? 😐
what is patron?
Deity
none
Oh. So just pick what I think sounds cool?
Yes
Things like patron deity and birthday are entirely RP choices.
I usually go thematic for the deity and pick the one that I feel fits my initial job most closely.
Sweet. And I could change class whenver I felt like it? Because I've always played mage in any other game I've played. I have absolutely no idea what a job is yet, but I'm assuming it's like being a leatherworker or blacksmith?
Yes
You can be everything
You can be everything
Yep. You can be all jobs and professions on a single character.
once you've unlocked them, you can freely change between all classes/jobs
you do have to level them up separately though

Jobs are your class’s “specialization”
"Job" just refers to the upgrade of a base "class".
Okay, any particular starting class that is better as a completely new player?
For example: Conjurer is a class, but White Mage is a job.
Nah, just pick one that you think you'll like.
Every job starts out slow
If you've played mages in the past, Thaumaturge or Arcanist would both be good picks.
And slowly Introduces you to skills
Fair warning, your inventory will get filled very quickly if you decide to use every job
Thaumaturge is more of a pure mage, while Arcanist tracks more closely to "Warlocks".
THM/BLM go big boom
Hi! Just checking in, but will I have to have all 4 expansions to take part in the FFXV event in September or are ARR and HS enough? Thanks for the help ☺️
What does conjurer class as? If thaumaturge is more pure mage and arcanist more warlocky?
Conjurer is a healer
THM/BLM?
You should be able to participate as long as you meet the level requirement, which is under 50.
Thaumaturge/Black Mage
Yeah, Conjurer > White Mage is a pure healer. All healers have a couple of dps spells (and are expected to use them), but they're really a healer.
Ah cool, one more question if you all don't mind. I was told that "Pheonix" have a really nice community. But it seems to be grayed out now?
!status Phoenix
Oh 😦
It’ll go away around midnight
O actually? I’m at around lvl 46 rn. Should I stop and start a new class so I can partake?
If you want to make a character specifically on that server, try during off hours for the expansion.
You can participate as long as you're at least the minimum level for the event. There's no maximum level.
That’d be ridiculous
“You’ve played the game too much, no seasonal events for you”
Aaa I see, thanks for the advice :)
Yea, but the regalia is a sick mount tho 👀
Yes, it is.
Only 200k mgp to get after the quest
Yeah they’re usually lvl 15 as that’s the level you get access to all the other cities
Like 2 weeks of weeklies at the saucer
I'm just saying that making a new class to do the event on would be silly because you don't get enough xp to "waste" on a higher level.
I think the minimum level for the XV crossover event was 35 or 40, because it required that you'd completed the Garuda fight in the MSQ.
Does it take some time for the account to work? My friend is starting aswell, he can log into the website but not into the game. Same information :/
It shouldn't. Is his account properly linked to the mogstation?
!faq mogstation
you sign up here, or if you want to use free trial it is a diff link
That kinda makes sense with what happens on the FF15 side of things
15 was lv50
Was it 50? I couldn't remember exactly. I just knew it was higher than the usual seasonal events because Garuda was a requirement.
I don't know if it's connected to mogstation. He bought it via steam and created an account on the square enix website
Did he make an account on the Mogstation though?
Make a mogstation account and any codes go there
Not the SE site, but the Mogstation linked above?
Quick q for steam users. Does it usually take long for steam to charge the games you buy? I bought FF14 almost a week ago and it is still not charged to my bank. A little worried here.
he should be able to just launch the game on steam and create the account from the launcher
instantly
I would expect that too. It's almost a week and I'm not charged. I usually pay my credit card end of the month and I noticed it wasn't there.
weird then, sure you didn't get the trial, not the starter edition?
Should I contact Steam or the bank first?
I'm in Stormblood MSQ already. The purchases went through. It's just it wasn't charged to my bank.
i see, does your transaction show up in your wallet history?
Little worried here that the bank might decline the payment and I lose my Steam account.
Weird thing is YES. It shows up in my purchase history
and that shows it was bought trough visa/mastercard?
I suspect lag because of the summer sale, maybe? But still weird to take 1 week
Yes
id attempt to try contacting the bank, maby they haven't updated it on their end
Anyone know how to unrestrict download speed through steam?
Seems stuck at 2.5-3 MB
Alright thanks!
from the ffxiv client? or steam download?
ffxiv client
has faster downloads
I did some searching, tried switching my DNS from 8.8.8.8 to 4.2.2.2 or 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1
But no success
Ohhhh
Thank you
make sure to enable steam integration for it to work
Much appreciated 🙏
is there a way to disable clicking on party or alliance members, cause its rlly bothering when trying to interact with a teleportation but everyones in the way
when you fail ninjutsu
bunny of shame
Thumpity thump thump
well, ninjitsu
it's not just a rotation for a Ninja
How do I start doing hunts? I'm lvl 48 right now and I want to upgrade my company rank. However they seem to be locked behind players controlling the billboard or something?
Thanks for the help. It wasn't connected to that MogStation thingy. After he connected that to his steam account it worked fine
appreciate all the help🥰
Logged in yesterday after 4 years. My highest job is a 59 Paladin. Felt completely overwhelmed. Should I just start over? Not sure I wanna play a tank.
they made post ARR a bit faster
Level a new job if you want but I wouldn't start over
and it'll help you relearn how to play the game
tank stances losing DPS is no longer a thing, etc
True, I guess I can just do that.
there's also new game+ if you wanna view the old cutscenes
can you not send tells while someone is in a dungeon?
maybe have a visit to hall of novice?
you can still use guild chat and linkshells
Hey can i buy the game from steam and then activate on non steam version ?
non-steam free trial?
if it is a not-steam-free-trial then you can
otherwise, if you already registered starter edition on windows, you can't.
so i have the free trial on steam version and i want to buy it from steam but play on a non steam !
yeah, you can't
so, in account type on mogstation is "Free Trial (Steam)"?
then you should be fine buying from steam
but, you can't run the game without steam
yeah but he wants to play non-steam....
that is a different issue
well if he bought it from steam, he has to play from steam?
yes i don't want that stupid steam open up whenever i want to play FF

@patent citrus that won't fix his free trial (steam)...
sale 60%
you can add -issteam on the launch argument to bypass the steam check
hmm seems I don't understand. You can change from free trial(steam) to non-steam right?
No
no.
Not the other way around
Is there a difference in experience points of squadron mission level 24 dungeon vs normal lvl 24 dungeon ?
Once you touch steam you're locked to it
so i was right, when I started on steam
I had to remake new account completely
but someone talking yesterday that you can convert your account before you purchased the game
what does it mean?
only from "Free Trial" to "Standard (Steam)"
can you not put actual relics
Only non steam trial to steam
into your glamour dresser
AHH
ok I got it, ty ty
soo only copies?
...am I stupid or how did my item reach more than 100% durability? (it's crafted by me)
You self repaired it
is it viable in any way to use a skill from the opposite element as blackmage? i usually switch elements with transpose but blackmage gets some passives that reduce cast time of spells with the opposite element so I was wondering if these buffs have a use or not
using an opposite attack is pretty bad
since you never want the gauge neutral
oooh it says and removes fire or ice
Yes
alright thanks
Important distinction
that makes a lot more sense
And you can weave 1 off global with fire/blizzard 3
yeah you always wanna dump all your mana in fire
With the short cast
just recently got those so thankfully didn't harm me too much
You only transpose from now on when you have nothing to hit
yeah get used to never dropping your timer
youll want to keep it up for enochian
i think thats 52?
maybe 54
!action Enochain
Increases magic damage dealt by 15 %. Also allows the casting of Blizzard IV, Fire IV, Despair, and Umbral Soul. Additional Effect: Grants Polyglot if Enochian is maintained for 30s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Astral Fire or Umbral Ice. Effect is canceled if Astral Fire or Umbral Ice ends.
56
when i switch to a new job , do i have to do the same quests ? or there is another way to level up
LMAO it recognizes enochain
i'm 38 and i'm managing pretty well up to this point
!faq altlvlguide
No quests are one and done
help i accidently pressed a button and now after every skill i use it mounts a sound
what did i pres?
this is an odd tech question but randomly during gameplay my game will just freeze for around 5-30 seconds, and then correct itself afterwards, when it does that my entire pc takes a hit, discord goes mute and nobody can hear me, i cant tab out or anything and i have no idea whats causing it. this only happens in 14, no other games causes it
that actually happened to me once with ACT
after restarting it it never happened again
like an error sound?
like my whole pc? i did that like 5 times
yeah, it was some weird one-off memory leak
it sounds more like an alarm or sorts to confirm you done a skill
its super annoying
little beep after every skill press
So light datacenter rn has no server for road to 70 buff?
i even uninstalled and reinstalled the game through steam and it still just freezes for no reason
ok wtf i think it does it based on damage
since when i aoe
it spams it
and its far more annoying to listen to
so a sound that confirms damage hits? what could that be
I think thats just a default sound of the game
need to remove materia if i upgrade Resistance right?
ill have to do that after this raid if i still cant figure it out
it definetly wasnt there before so it's not normal
oh, hope i get a lot with 40%
i think i pressed something accidently

If I by any chance start to dislike my race. is there a possibility to change it? even if it's a charged service
yes, you also get a free fantasia (full character creation redo) after finishing base arr
others are $10
Ohhhhh. Amazing! thanks 😄
Do people kill Odin nowadays? FATE I mean
absolutely
Yeah. Check things like Centurio hunts...they usually track super fates like that
And I believe they have roles to be pinged for it
I've got a question: I'm tryna craft HQ Holy Rainbow Gloves for a WVR job quest. I've got 576 Craftsmanship and 487 Control (Im a little overlevelled) and yet I can't seem to get it above 20% quality, how do I fix this?
Get better gear
Gear matters far more
HQ gear if possible
And naturally always end with great strides byregots
and how much CP do you have
^
234
what level
last message of Odin is August 1st xd
64
yeah you need much better gear
Yeah sounds like just really shitty gear
honestly, if you're willing to wait a little bit
Even lv60 yellow scrip gear should be fine
just do levequests up to 70
I don't know what scrips are tbh 😅
Currency from collectibles
Isnt diadem a gatherer only thing?
diadem gathers materials for crafters to use
the exp from the crafted item submissions is still huge
Where do I find the recipes for items that use diadem resources?
it's automatic in a separate tab in your crafting menu
technically we're at phase 4, so ignore the other sections
Ooooooooh so for Weaver I'd have to go in there as Botanist?
to start off, most WVR ishgard restoration crafts are from BTN gathering yes
with the exception of one item for the level 70 craft which needs spring water which is a MIN gather
Gotcha, guess I'll get some levels for the ol' gatherers then,
thanks for the help
Can I give a referral link to my friend who's going to be on a free trial, and then get feathers if for example he decides to start paying for the subscription a few months from now?
yes
and is it too late if somebody already made an account, but has never played the game?
You put the referral code in after buying the game
But before paying the first month sub
Trial users can't use the referral code
just to make sure I am understanding this correctly, so I can even give my referral code to somebody who's lvl 60 on the free trial when they're buying their first sub?
After they buy the game and before paying their first month sub
Their progress doesn't matter
Thank you!
After swapping classes it got removed by itself but I want to know what that was to avoid it again. That's definitely not normal. It's something under sound effects because I can show it can be muted there
Yeah
wait really 🤣
That's the lifesteal sound
yes
nah that's the sound lifesteal makes
play war 
Only melee dps have lifesteal by default really with bloodbath
And tanks
Except pld
Yeah I havent really played those so I've never really heard it before
so i thought it was a bug or something 
Where do I go to change my "class"? Also, is there a class that uses a 2h sword/axe/mace for damage?
Do your lv10 class quest then you can change
Warriors uses axes, dark knight uses great swords
No maces
Ahh, cheers!
Both are tanks
Oh..
Tanking is really easy however
not mace
Just tank stance up, smack stuff and use defensive Cooldowns
Boom you're better than 80% of people
So theres no 2handed damage class? like a black mage but warr
nope
There's Dragoon which uses lances/spears
When it comes out, Reaper uses a scythe
and then reaper in the next expansion with scythes
And MNK catches these hands
Okay, thanks!
that's subjective
hello! is there a way to lvl from 47 to 50 fast?
!faq altlvlguide
go unlock aurum vale
!quest going for gold
Nedrick knows of a place where a skilled adventurer might hone <span class="alternative-container"><span class="alternative">her</span><span class="alternative">his</span></span> skills.
Nedrick Ironheart
Western Thanalan (X: 12.04 Y: 14.39)
Willielmus
Coerthas Central Highlands (X: 14.4 Y: 35.36)
basically just leveling roulette and then spam aurum vale until you hit 50
should be ~2 runs max
Aside from controller "chat mode." Is there a way to prevent my wasd keys from being entered into chat while in combat?
Haven't had this problem in other games, seems to only happen in ff14 for some odd reason
Did you turn on Direct chat, that makes any letter immediately start typing
what is the little symbol next to the glam dresser and armoire symbols, in the top right of an item's tooltip?
No, it only happens once in a while
it's like a shield with a cross
you probably entered a key that entered chat mode
like \ key, or something like that
FC crest
the enter key opens chat, generally, so you probably hit that
oh? how do I activate that?
That's not possible on my keyboard lol. Enter key is on the other side
Uhh someone at the grand company I guess? It's kinda a forgotten thing really
I see, ok
thanks
you'd be surprised
it's really not hard to accidentally hit enter.
You have to disable instant chat and enable enter only chat
For me, I can only enter chat once I hit enter
That's a thing? 😮
Yes
I'll look into that
its not just for controllers
Ok, well "mainly." But that's not what I'm looking for
That checkmark box makes it so that typing anything types into chat bar

yes so you want to turn it off so you dont start typing in combat
It's been turned off.....
I don't think you know what it is lol
did you keybind a key to type in chat
Obviously this wouldn't be just a "once in a while thing" as I stated twice year if I had it turned on all the time

what does Aetherially Conductive Plate do?
Used for an item to make the BA portals stable and basically let's you into BA immediately
Aka: useless
Cause BA is done by premades only who have set portals for each group
Is there a better way to do some of the trials and stuff besides duty finder?
for coils and extremes you'll want to use party finder
those are a bit too hard for the average joe to beat
But the story required ones are fine with duty finder
Alright thanks
I was trying some of them
Cause i thought it would be fun
It would be depressing
I picked up on it pretty fast but it seems like some people don't really have the patience to let people actually learn it
And they end up leaving lmao
In Eureka, if you farm a fate's mob before its weather comes, do the mobs still count towards the spawn?
Doing them synced requires people to be on their game
Even though I'm also new to some of these I find myself helping out the new players more than the people who have more knowledge than me
Gonna try out the party finder though
no one uses DF for old high end content on crystal
90% of the time you'll just get mentors from mentor roul who'll just leave
Yeah that's what I'm talking about rn
well, there is ONE reason to sync them... but that side content for a later class
yeah... don't sync them.
Alright
should I stick to my highest level class (70) and play with it until it's 80 or can I play with my dancer 61? would I waste any "potential exp bonuses"?
Oh yeah
And one more thing
I've been playing nin
But I've been thinking of switching to gunbreaker
Any tips
!faq tankguide
Thanks
If you’re at ShB msq continue with your high level job
i'm at stormblood msq
Okay
Then use dancer
ok but when I get into shb should I switch to the other?
If you want to
Hiya all, has there been some breach and/or deletion of SE accounts or anything? Password reset isnt finding an account assosciated with my email anymore? :/
hey i started playing the trial today and is there a TTS or anything like that for quests and for unacted scans i can use i have dislexya and its hard for me to read it will be helpful for me
alr thanks
there aren't any sadly
doubt, try checking your email if you've ever once gotten an email from mogstation
I have
something is well odd
so it does have, but you can't reset password?
exactly.
which site are you using to reset password?
and the mogstation emails are correct? if so, that is very weird
well i guess i will just sick to the old method of reading slowly thanks for the help anyway ^^
i would attempt to contact support to see if they can help
Yeah Im sure. I got some old mogstation emails and a world transfer from 2019
yeah, ngl i wish there was a mod to help you out, sucks that you can;t enjoy the game bc of something you can;t control 😦
i would suggest checking the spam folder if it hasn't gone there
i know its very frustrating i use TTS everywhere thats pussible and if i cant i just copy and past to google tranclate so i can hear it but cant do any of this in game unforchently
for most quests you can just go to the objective marker, no actual reading required
@little swift are there any mods that have a TTS on them?
i want to enjoy the stroy of the game i dont like spaming thro the text and do the obgective
alright i will chack that out rn
fuck does it? argh i don't know enough about mods
hope it works!
less a mod, more of a plugin
hope it works as well! thanks so much for all of your help i really do apprisate it!
Hey what do these mean?

Ah ok
I have gotten the reset email but it says there isnt an account associated with the email...
Is there any specific reward you get for world bosses? I encountered a level 50 coeurl yesterday and some level 60 dragon today.
it's client based, so if you are in french client, it would say "

"
google translate btw
once you unlock hunts they give neato stuff like aetherite tickets and gil
weird
, support it is then
ohh I see. not high enough rank for those yet.
Aye 😦 just not expecting an answer today 😦 shame launched cant download the files at least. so silly it requires login 😭
if i buy the game and the subscription expires, can i go back to steam trial again or do i have to renew it everytime after i buy it
renew
You can't ever go back to trial
there is no way to use the same account to get free trial
you can just go play free trial until you buy the game
Keyword is Trial
alright , do you recommend to max the trial in terms of leveling and then redeem the game subscription
Not "free part of the game"
max trial if you want to save money
ight, and i think the codes dont expire so im fine
its really up to you, if you wanna buy early you can
yeah, codes don't expire
but yeah they last
if you wanna level to 60 and do all msq go right ahead
i can do raids in free trial right
Part of the useless portal stabiliser iirc
Is there any way to enlarge the Fitting Room window when you try on gear? It's so smol
You need 3 different items to make them
ohhhhh
no current content, but theres the binding coils of bahamut and the alexander raids
ye im talking about ARR and heavensward
those are the raids of ARR and HW
alrighty i will look them up ty
And crystal tower and void ark for the 24mans
What do you do with random armor/weapon pieces from dungeons? Just merch them?
Desynth or yeet at the grand company for seals
Wait. You can trade junk for seals?
When you rank up enough yes
How important is the Ironworks set for going into Heavensward? Because right now I'm blitzing through the level 50 MSQs and I managed to get the shirt, pants, and weapon of it and really don't feel like doing MSQ roulette or Alliance roulette.
As long as you have a weapon, chest and legs it's mostly fine
It'd the best gear at 50
the game will lock you out of content if your average ilvl isnt high enough
And lasts you until 55
ironworks set allows you to do all of ARR whenever you want
Start of heavensward can be rough if you're undergeared
you need at least 130 to do the 59 dungeon so it's a pretty easy item level skip
yep, and once you get into HW msq starts giving you gear again
So the chest, legs, and weapon is good enough then? I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get the gauntlets or boots from post ARR story dungeons anyway. I just don't want to overlevel myself because I'm already 53 and can't do my class quest until Heavensward. I don't want to have to learn more than 1 new ability at a time you know?
Can just do the side lv50 dungeons for poetics
They give jack shit xp and you'll get bonus poetics for your first clear

my friend wants to start playing ffxiv, but he's doing the trial first, when does he input the recruit a friend code?
you'll be fine, msq starts at 50 so you'll add a skill per dungeon basically
Can't on trial
Has to buy the game to put friend codes in
so he buys the game, then puts in the code before he subscribes to any time?
Yes
is botanist a viable way to make money or should i use it to just gather mats for crafters
what if the game comes with 1 month free subscription, can he still input the code?
Everything is viable for money, do your market research
there are items that give you bonus exp for alt job?
Food and free company xp buff are the main ones
there are items that give you bonus exp for any job
Endwalker preorder earrings for another
aah ok, how long do you think it would take to level darknight to 50? 8 hours?
from?
if you did nothing but grind probably
from start i think it starts on 30 not sure
yes it does
How do I do that?
On the official website or in the game
Website
Oh much thanks
May I know if I world transfer server while having retainers that have expired service, will they transfer over?
what do I use Garlean Synthetic Fabric for?
yes
Quest in gangos
thank you
is there a community market for stuff like resources? I've been trying to level GLM and weaver but they require silver ore, which can only be obtained by owning a house(?) or becoming a miner according to a page i saw
Need 3 to up your holster size by 10
expired service retainers are still there, just not available
Market board is where you buy from others
Is it possible to buy a subscription with steam wallet money
if you own the game on steam, yes
Yes
ah, okay, thanks!
go to mogstation
It's an option when you pay the sub
From the launcher?
!faq mogstation
"Steam Payment" https://img.thaun.dev/7frw2.png
talk to one of the people in your gc room in your city
I forget the name
but then you click on expert delivery
Be Sergeant 2nd Class rank
if i got the game on steam does it need to be renewed via steam wallet or can i just use paypal or credit card as is
you can do that yes
And then the person by the quartermaster in the “Expert Delivery tab”
Got to Chief Sarge
steam wallet is just an alternative payment source
here is all the payment options you can choose https://img.thaun.dev/kxshn.png
for card payments
otherwise you got crysta, which supports buying from paypal
can we equip 2 of the same ring if the equip is a totem gear?
poetics?
yo new player here, is clicking nameplates meant to not register properly when they are stacked up (difficult)
Unique tag shows at the very very top of a items tooltip
Next to where it says untradeable
So uh. I unlocked blacksmith. How do I swap to it lol
wear a hammer
All the poetic rings got changed to be non-unique at a point
you got it from the quest that unlocked the blacksmith class
when i register for ocean fishing can i leave town? or do i have to stay
Annnd now I'm naked
Why don't they let us wear our regular gear while blacksmithing!
sorry i didnt understand your answer
if you are just queuing, you can exit town
but when a DING happens, you cant exit
idk what you call it
ah yes this armor sure is gonna help me craft this weapon!
it's like how you queue to any content ingame
ok ty
Better than being naked!
I'm finish with Heavensward, and i noticed an increase of voiced cut-scenes, will the amount of voiced cut-scenes increase further in the comung expansions?
yes
godbert
:) great
though, there will still be some non-voiced cutscenes
side-content gets rarely voice acted
Don't even have the ingredients for an ingot. Time to hit up MB
this man is the best goldsmith in the universe
except this shadowbringers raid/trial series
The blacksmith/armourer vendors are right there dude
Yet isn't featured much in the goldsmith story
just a reminder that godbert is such a good goldsmith he has an LB
where can i ask questions about setting up kupobot 😦
the alaxender- series wasend voiced aswell.
bro i never thought about that
but ins great to hear that the MSQ voiced cutscenes will further increase :)
So is it not possible to buy however many I want of a single item on MB? Or do I have to buy all 10?
We can’t let our little upstart get outshined
if they only sell that, then yes. else see further down
Inflexible!
Again chris, the blacksmith vendor is right next to the guild
it's just 530 gil
I can't find the forge for the pyros weapon
Didn't see that 😮
Is there a list of quests that give gear in order to not have to check every optional quest npc you find in order to know which one gives some?
The kettle forge is like at the very north in a small pathway down
hi friendly people! i havent played in several years. i'm lv47, no idea how far I was into MSQ, and i've only got heavensward on my SE account. do i say eff it all and re-roll on steam for the $24 bundle? or grab discounted endwalker on gmg and wait for it to pop to get shadowbringers and stormblood?
That depends a lot on your goal.
Yeah, but how much do you want to save? when do you want to start?
i mean id start playing today
Still gotta get through all the story to get there
hi! im semi new to the game and i have a quick question i know some stuff on the mog station is stuff from last events but im thinking of gifting a minion to someone, but before i do im wondering if the minions from the mog station will make a comeback or is it gone forever unless you buy them? (just wondering before i spend the money for something that returns)
You would just need shadowbringers which I think might also be discounted on gmg
For the current account
yeah i did see that. its $16
So that would be the cheapest
Is there a trusty leveling guide for crafters I can consult?
do you think i'd get to shadowbringers before endwalker comes out?
!expansion
to be exact
ah
Oh neat
so i guess i either resub and grab shadowbringers for about $30
or grab steam for $24 but have to start over
doesnt seem worth it for $6
you can buy shadowbringers from greenmangaming
which is the same price of shb on steam
So I'm assuming heavenward is the next after arr and I was wondering how far I would need to progress into the msq in order to unlock DK.
does anyone know how to get to this part of the map on foot? I'm trying to get an aether current there but i can't find the way up
trough msq
Are there ever discounts on game time?
i would believe
Reach heavensward
No
ah okay, i just finished heavensward and it hasnt brought me there yet
Is stormblood after arr or heavensward?
after heavensward
after heavensward
are the expansions each 10 levels?
yes
so arr is 50?
can you buy good gear in auction is it reccomended to shop there?
got it
There's no currents in that area
arr, hw, sb, shb
Hi there. I just installed the game today (WoW player since vanilla launch), and I was just wondering, do I need to upgrade my abilities or will their damage increase automatically as I level?
Automatically
Thank you 🙂
Skills don't level up really
!faq newplayertips
You get traits if anything
@faint flare I'm in heavenward but I havnt unlocked ishgard and I was wondering in perspective how much into the msq I would have to gi before u locking ishgard to get the Dk class
Abilities upgrade with Traits, which as long as your char is on that level, they are active.
Ok, I've been googling around. For early leveling, should I just burn gil on finishing the crafting log first? Then do beast tribe crafting?
I have a question, I'm doing the crystal tower raid series, just got to world of darkness and it says that I need lvl 90 equipment. Currently I am a 56 BLM, at what level do you guys recommend that I should start gathering equipment? Thanks in advance
Your first quest in heavensward literally takes you to Ishgard
Before the Dawn is the final arr quest
Oh
The crafting long won't be as important as doing your leves and GC afaik.
Oh...
You know you're in a new expansion by the GIANT ASS TITLE card
fun fun fun
spend poetics on ironworks gear in mor dhona
how is blacksmith for new players? im 60 and want a job
If you get to a expansion, they WIll let You Know, unmistakably.
It’s a crafter so it’s easy
What level does post arr end around if I'm not being nosy. I just like having a perspective of the time taken
50
50
hey, gc turn-ins crafter items gives xp only to the job of the item right ? if it asks me an armorer item it will give the xp to armorer whatever job I play right ? Or I can grab 18millions xp with a low level crafter ?
post-arr is the intermediary patches between arr and the first expansion
Post arr quests purpose give you little xp
It will go to the right crafter of that item
The crafter that made the item gets the exp
oh shit u right, found it
if you're on a preferred server you'll probably be 55~ or so, if you're on a standard, 52-53~ is probably where you'll end up
If you only do story ^
even tho post msq doesn't give a lot of exp, the fact that there are a lot of them for post ARR means you're still going to level a bit
More if you constantly do roulettes
I see, cause i'm trying to xp my crafter with leves, but I have to buy the items -> its expansive... and crafting them is not worth : need gear to craft and gear will be useless in few minutes since I will level up
In a side but prob importat note, makse sure you are geared for craftin when you desynt so you don't miss on your challenge exp for the week.
isn't it always displayed?
Oh... notlikethis
as long as you're a WHM anyways
There's a way to hide it i think, it's prob on system char settings
There's no way to hide job gauges
Oh ok
Is there anyway to get Mhachi Farthings for the HW relic quest still? I got like 35 Allagan Catalysts from doing Alliance Raids and what not but I can't find a way to get a Farthing for Crystal Sand.
They're thst important
is there something covering it?
no
mine's always present all the time, so
You need to have obtained the respective skill to see the job gauge
So if you don't have Affaltus solace then you won't see the gauge
Also you need to be on the right level to see the gauge
basically that step of the crystal sand is no viable to do for new players since they removed the farting. pretty much there for older players who still have those items
!action Affaltus Solace
Like unsynched
You need this to see the gauge
did you do your job quests to get that skill yet
Which means gets to heavensward and do your job quests
IF you are on sync, you might lose the gauge until end of duty
you may very well get synced down to a level below having the gauge.
You don't then
You don't have the gauge
You haven't done your heavensward job quests so you cant
The gauge only exists after the lvl 52 quest
you can't have solace w/o doing your hw msq
you have it but you need to do your hw quests to actually use it.
Lilies don’t fill unless you’re fighting, pretty sure
Yeah they fill gradually when in combat
means yeah job quests aren't done yet
!trait Secret of the Lily
You're missing this
secret of the lily is from the 52 job quest
^ need to do your quests to get this
(and benediction)
where can you acces marketplace?
marketboards
Marketboards in major cities
these icons
ill check it out ty
limsa has a marketboard next to the main aetheryte
do note if you're on the free trial you can't access the market
can you buy highest rarity gear or is it limited like in some other games?
Crafted gear is rarely the best
It’s whatever people decide to sell
crafted gear isn't the best but it'll get you to a good enough point to do endgame content
Raid and augmented tome gear are the best gear
Rarity and gear color means nothing
Just where it's from really
What is some easy to get ilevel 490 to get? I have been using neo ishgardian, but the last dungeon of the history is 490 min
just exarchic gear should be fine
Market board for high quality exarchic or do Eden promise normal for 510
either that or crystarium/cryptlurker gear works too technically
why did you grab neo when exarchic is 510?
if you really want to just pass the req
Old returner probably
I grabbed neo back in a previous patch. Yeah, just coming back
exarchic should be cheap enough nowadays

Either throw gil at the problem for Exarchic or do Eden/nier raid for gear
About a mill or less
Depends on the server but that should be enough to get you over.
If you world hop for cheapest prices
damn, I would deplete my gil by quite a bit
You can free farm Eden and nier if you want to save money, and use whatever allegory and Revelation tomes you get to help fill slots
Would I be able to farm those just fine with my current ilevel?
Yes, it's how you gear up naturally
Im a lvl 66 Paladin should I lvl with dungeons or HoH?
Eden promise needs 485. Puppet bunker needs 460 and drops 490
Dungeons if story is done
tyty
Hoh is if ques are 15mins+
Got exactly 480 so i guess best bet for now would be doing puppet bunker
when you upgrade from a trial on steam , does the free trial version of the game automatically switch to the upgraded one in steam library?
no
you have to add the key to mogstation, or atleast the launcher will try to ask you
if it does not ask you for code, then you need to do it manually
iirc, it does not ask you
i know that but like , wouldnt you have a trial version of the game and the regular version of the game in steam library
like how does the migration work
not sure, you would still have the launcher as long as there isn't an update to it
btw, where do you exchange expired phantasmagoria tomes?
xp at best.
