[north lotus]

till you taught me

[faint flare]

It's getting the full effect

[noble pollen]

Where can i get lvl 30 mch weapon?

[north lotus]

so if I put materia in by acciedent and it wasnt working one of those materi would say like +30 or something?

[faint flare]

Yes

[north lotus]

ok ty

[fleet vale]

I am at the start of stormblood

[north lotus]

just didnt know how to check

[faint flare]

Read the materia confirm pop up

[north lotus]

yea i am now

didnt really get it before

thank you very much

[faint flare]

Stormblood is probably like 20-30 hours or so to get to shadowbringers

[broken cairn]

ok, heres a question: is a 515 relic weapon with bis crit/det better than a 520 augmented exarchic for whm? I know ilvl is king, but I'm wondering if the vastly improved crit edges it out

[faint flare]

Weapon damage usually wins out...Unless the higher weapon damage is being dragged down by piety and excess speed

[dusk palm]

i wish there was an easy way to shop for cool looking gear besides having to try on each item

[true forum]

what happens when you change your job mid msq? since when you change jobs you start at lvl 1. And your quest are higher lvl

[faint flare]

You need to level back up

[glossy flare]

you gotta level back up

[true forum]

o damn

[glossy flare]

can always switch back ofc

[faint flare]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

[faint flare]

Levelling alts aren't hard

[fleet vale]

@faint flare Thank you so much

[noble pollen]

Where can i get lvl 30 mch weapon?

[bleak nimbus]

so im playing rn

[honest anvil]

psure you get given one for free

[bleak nimbus]

and there’s so many side quests

[honest anvil]

as you unlock the job

[bleak nimbus]

how go i even tell which is main and which is side quests

[faint flare]

Vendors in main cities should sell one

[faint flare]

!faq questicons

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

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

[faint flare]

The main scenario tracker top left also shows the story and other extremely important stuff, like your job quests

[bleak nimbus]

oooh thanks

so i wasted a shit tom of time last night nice

[robust nymph]

my gf and i just started the game and she's asking how to get this fairy on the right, does anyone happen to know?

[raven sage]

Be a scholar

It's one of their summons

[glossy flare]

part of their kit, yeah

heals people

[robust nymph]

okay thank you!

she also saw this one, is that also a scholar pet then?

[faint flare]

Summoner

Arcanist/Summoner

They're the pet jobs of the game

[robust nymph]

oooh

[faint flare]

Arcanist/Summoner is the dps, scholar is the healer

[robust nymph]

i didnt even know u could be a summoner

[robust nymph]

okayyy thank u!

[ionic linden]

in Saint Mocianne's Arboretum i wont get gaurentee item from last boss?

[faint flare]

No cause it's not a levelling dungeon

[ionic linden]

ho damn

and what the fastest way to farm? just Que?

[faint flare]

For glamour? Can probably solo at 80

[upper cove]

On that note, does the guaranteed drop always matches your current job?

[faint flare]

Yes

[upper cove]

Nice

[faint flare]

It's for your job and something you don't have yet

[ionic linden]

ye glamour

im healer

[upper cove]

Best way to get glam from dungeon is always unsynced

[ionic linden]

hmm k

[upper cove]

Might take longer for higher level dungeons

[ionic linden]

ill try

[faint flare]

It's only lv60

So shouldnt be too bad

[upper cove]

Oh then thats alright

[faint flare]

Plus you're getting all loot

[stable grail]

at reset times, are there ques for feast?

[upper cove]

I was farming castrum abania, solo it takes close to 20mins

[fleet vale]

so where to get the prism to unlock the glamour feature?

[upper cove]

Had to ask friends for help

[faint flare]

Your grand company sells them for 200 seals each, provided you rank up a few times

[fleet vale]

That is the only way?

[faint flare]

It's the main and easiest way

[fleet vale]

I see

[faint flare]

Otherwise you can craft them or buy off market

[fleet vale]

so it will be a while since I havent played for ages now

[faint flare]

Your company rank doesn't go down

If you ranked up prior

[fleet vale]

oh my rank is not bad yeah

I see

interesting

thanks a lot

[spiral osprey]

So, a question for Shadowbringers
||Does Shadowbringers get darker than the scene of the lass getting transformed after getting stabbed in the chest by sin eater?||

simply yes or no

[glossy flare]

debatable

but I'd say yes

[faint flare]

Yeah

Alot of sad moments though

[spiral osprey]

good, that's what I want

[faint flare]

The feel roller-coaster doesn't stop

[glossy flare]

feelsbringers

[brazen hollow]

I think that's the most "oh wow this is messed up" you'll see visually but there's a lot more dark implications

[cinder vigil]

Good Morning. I need help. I had a free trial account a while ago, which I only got a character to level 5. I now want to come back and try it again with my friends who are coming to play but when I log in my acount it says I need to enter a Registration Code???

[spiral osprey]

I am sucker for really dark fantasy so I want it to be as sorrowful and dark as possible

[rigid dust]

what instance is it where you fight ||zenos|| and he's all "i have you now - fall!"

[faint flare]

Ala mhigo

Is when you fight him

[leaden ginkgo]

Anybody know the name of the easiest two seater mount that you can get?. without buying it with real money

[rigid dust]

ohhhh right, i was getting that and The Wall confused for some rason

tysm!

[faint flare]

But a different character says that line

[faint flare]

Well recruit a friend one, the amber draught chocobo....just throw your referral code on the r/ffxivraf

[modest igloo]

theres a 4-seater mount for e4s, as well as a two-seater for getting all of the shadowbringers gwibers from ex's

[faint flare]

Otherwise you got the 4 seater from Eden 4 savage, the 2 seater from all Bojzan field notes (Probably the easiest but rng on drop rates), 4 seater from delubrum savage, and the 2 seater from all shadowbringers ex mounts

[modest igloo]

do you have to clear duels for the notes?

[faint flare]

Nope

Duels are guaranteed however

[modest igloo]

ah but its super RNG otherwise

the e4s one requires the least amount of time i suppose and its 4 seats

[faint flare]

Well it will get easier with time due to unsync next expansion

[umbral nest]

Hey I accidentally skipped the tab thing that explained the thaumaturge gauge

is there anything else i need to know about it except for the umbral ice and fire?

[faint flare]

Press the "?" at the bottom of action and traits

To bring it back ip

[bleak solar]

do I just do msq quests, and then if i'm not on level with it do side quests?

[hard aurora]

@umbral nest astral fire increases fire MP cost and increases fire related damage accordingly, umbral ice recovers massive amounts of MP

thats the gist, but yes to click the ?

[umbral nest]

ohry

ty*

[faint flare]

Msq and job quests are top priority. Follow stuff in the top left tracker

[bleak solar]

alright, thanks

[umbral nest]

wait the mp recover only happens when I keep using blizzard?

[faint flare]

If you're in Umbral ice

[umbral nest]

and the mp cost and potency increase when i use fire?

[faint flare]

You get the buffs if you're in the respective stances

When you have the elemental orbs around you

[umbral nest]

like lets say im under the influence of fire and use a fire spell would that work or do I need to use an ice spell

[faint flare]

You would have the fire buffs

Using an ice spell would cancel the fire buff

[umbral nest]

okay ty

[faint flare]

Which is why you use transpose low level

To swap over

So you dont cancel them out

You'll get spells later for swapping stances easier

[bleak nimbus]

oh yea should i get a job as fast as possible

someone offerede me to be a leather worker

or something

Crafting and gathering are completely optional

[uneven stirrup]

I've been trying to get ACT to work since my friends were tellin me to download it, but I can't seem to find the overlay or anything for it. I've got mopi mopi and all of it installed so idk where to open the actual overlay for it

[bleak nimbus]

wait idk which quest to do

none of them have the story emblem or am i wrong

[coral path]

super noob question, how do i swap my class to miner? I played the game a long time ago and I see im level 2 in mining but i cant figure out how to actually swap to being a miner again, it says i cant equip pickaxes

[heavy oar]

there is in up left side of the screen saying "next main scenario quest"

[bleak nimbus]

how did i not see that

should i click on it

[heavy oar]

click on quest below it

yes

it should open a map where is that quest

[bleak nimbus]

oh now i get it

thanks so much

a lot of people wouldve roasted me

your nice

[heavy oar]

mm maybe the will maybe dont, just glad to help new ppl in there

[heavy oar]

try equip pickaxes that suits your level, maybe 1 or 2?

@bleak nimbus also do class quest whenever you have it

[coral path]

yeah its weird it said i cant equip it but when i actually tried to it let me, thx

[heavy oar]

sometimes you cant change classes if you have full bags in some armor thing, like 35 chest, or feet or hands.. and if you do, just sell some

[bleak nimbus]

class quest?

[heavy oar]

yes! class you get for your job

[bleak nimbus]

oh which should i choose

[heavy oar]

i think you started lancer?

[bleak nimbus]

yes i did

i think dragoon looks sick

[heavy oar]

well you will get lancer quests and from lvl 30 dragon quest

those quest are

also in left up screen below main scenario quest

i think youl get it for now every 5 lvl or something, you do them to get abilities and sometimes gear

so whenever you have those quest, do them

[bleak nimbus]

oh okay i will take note of that tahnk you

[tulip zodiac]

Hey everyone,
Question, is there a way to not have to enter my one-time password every time I login ?

[heavy oar]

i think you dont have to, it is optional

[faint flare]

No, you choose to set up the extra security

[heavy oar]

happy to help!

[tulip zodiac]

It does say I need to enter it, and whats annoying is it asks me for it every time so I have to open my authenticator app every time I try to login

[faint flare]

You choose to set it up

It's extra security you need to enter

[tulip zodiac]

Yeah but literally every other service that has 2 factor authentication asks you for it once and remembers it on your PC 😄

Thats why im asking

Anyways I guess i'll disable it

[heavy oar]

yeah, try disable it and try to log without putting that pass in

[bleak nimbus]

when i compelte a quest they give me some options for items

is there anyone that i usually wanna go for

[heavy oar]

yes

LNC DRG

[faint flare]

Take the gear If it's an upgrade

[heavy oar]

and

[boreal storm]

If it’s better than your current

[heavy oar]

Disciple of war

[bleak nimbus]

what lnc drg

[heavy oar]

lnc drg means lancer dragon

items in time usually are defined by those 3 words of jobs there

or Disciple of War there that gear is for every job that isnt casting/healing job

[bleak nimbus]

oh okay thank you

where can i find that

like where does it say it

[dark copper]

when was the last time ARR was trimmed? thinking of redoing the base game

[faint flare]

5.3

[heavy oar]

ah mm

[faint flare]

Only time it has

[bleak nimbus]

OH I SEE IT

nvm thanks!

[heavy oar]

in gear somewhere in the middle, im not in game now, can you screenshot it

ah great

[bleak nimbus]

okay so like these 2 green stats mean that these are upgrades from my current equipment right

[faint flare]

Generally yes

Only exceptions is when the game offers you gear meant for tanks in the early game which have significant more defence

The recommended gear button on the character profile will sort you out once you have gear

[bleak nimbus]

should i get this one although it lowers magic defense

[heavy oar]

you should take gear that is most

upgrade for you

[faint flare]

Compare the item levels of your equipment

Take what upgrades it more

[heavy oar]

like it is better upgrade hands, then hands take

yeah

[faint flare]

Defense isn't a super major thibg

[heavy oar]

as youl need itl for progressing anyway

[fleet vale]

can someone explain to me how glamour work? after I get the prism and unlock it does it unlocked for every single gear in the game or per one set or how?

[faint flare]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

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.

[heavy oar]

like it says item level 6 is chest, and if you have chest that is same item level, go pick some other gear that will upgrade your item level

[faint flare]

Tldr: you put a copy of the item onto another gear piece

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey! I search someone to do the dungeon the lodestone, please DM me^^

[ember dock]

im actually done, i sent a ticket.. there isnt anything else i can do

[junior crow]

For combat materia melding: is there diminishing returns on a single stat? If the guides say crit first, does that mean put crit on every piece that can take it?

[modest igloo]

yep

[junior crow]

Cool, okay, thank you

[modest igloo]

the only stat that can be funky is sks because some classes want it a little different for raid alignments

[keen dagger]

is there a ffxiv site for tracking time for certain nodes for gathers?

[royal kestrel]

Yes several in fact

[keen dagger]

ooh!! i been setting alarm thing but that's getting old

[faint flare]

Garlandtools

[keen dagger]

can you provide a few?

ooh garlandtools does it?

[faint flare]

Yes

It has the garlandbell extension

On the site

[keen dagger]

i have no idea how that site works tbh

[faint flare]

For timed nodes

https://garlandtools.org/bell/

[keen dagger]

thank you

[frosty crater]

If you lose your house because you stop subscribing do you also lose the layout and all the stuff?

[faint flare]

Yes

[frosty crater]

Why don't they let you export the layout at least so you can easily rebuild the same design next time you play?

[alpine shadow]

it takes 45 days to loose your house

[faint flare]

Your items are sent to the housing guy who holds them for 30days

[frosty crater]

hm ok

[leaden ginkgo]

ijsut unlocked the pixies and i cant accpect any of the missions..."no daily beast tribe quests accepted prior to today may be active" but i just unlocked it

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i queue as dark knight in the duty finder but still play as a paladin and go through the story?

[fleet vale]

hmm I get a an error while trying to resub for ffxiv

[leaden ginkgo]

oh q as a DK and switch when youre in Q

[boreal storm]

You Queue as dark Knight, that’s it

[fleet vale]

and my card get credited

but no renew

what is going on

[buoyant sorrel]

you get a limit of 12 beast tribe quests daily

[alpine shadow]

might have been credited, but maybe it won't go trough completely

[buoyant sorrel]

if you already did 12, you can't do anymore today

[leaden ginkgo]

ohh nice didnt know its that easy

[leaden ginkgo]

i ahvent done any

[alpine shadow]

if it does complete the credit, contact support

[buoyant sorrel]

odd

try relogging or something, report it as a bug

[fleet vale]

I tried it twice I will show you

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a different place where the quest usually are?

[alpine shadow]

it might show in the bank, but usually credits take like a day or two till they reach square enix

[fleet vale]

well its not the first time I resubbed

never had this problem before tbh

I get this error

[alpine shadow]

according to support

Additionally, these errors will occur if you are not currently in the country where your card was issued. Similarly, if you are using a VPN or proxy that changes your IP address to that of another country, this would also trigger the error.

[fleet vale]

come on its not incorrect...

sigh...

[buoyant sorrel]

nope

quests are in the same place

[leaden ginkgo]

WELP

[raven sage]

@leaden ginkgoIf you have any other beast tribes unlocked, make sure you don't have a quest active from any of them from another day

[fleet vale]

cant resub

talk about killing my hype

...

[gritty robin]

anyone help me.. error i2501.. when making new account.

[buoyant sorrel]

I'm not sure if there actually is a cap on amount of active beast tribe quests you can have

[raven sage]

That's not the problem. If you don't complete a quest on the day you pick it up from it locks you from the allowance reset

[fleet vale]

ok last try gonna try buying digital game time

[buoyant sorrel]

oh interesting, TIL

[fleet vale]

is it in the ffxiv website as well?

[leaden ginkgo]

I unlocked it and from havent been able to even take a quest

[umbral nest]

is blizzard 2 a good spell?

[robust light]

when fighting the red lady in tower of paradigm's beach, there's a square that appears above you, what exactly do u have to do?

[raven sage]

I asked if you had any other beast tribes unlocked

[faint flare]

That's just showing you have a point blank aoe around you

[umbral nest]

like should it be used over fire 1 in dungeon runs since its an aoe attack

[faint flare]

Opposite colour aoes destroy opposite colour barriers

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i do

[faint flare]

Only if there's alot of mobs

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

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

[raven sage]

Check your journal and make sure you don't have a quest active from one of them

[robust light]

i seem to die everytime that aoe appears around me, whilst some ppl only take dmg

[raven sage]

If you do, abandon it and you should be able to do pixies

[faint flare]

Because you're overlapping with another

That's why

Or missing hp

The boss puts down her own aoes the first two times she does it

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to sort it?

[fleet vale]

where can I buy game time card for ffxiv since subscription is not working now

[leaden ginkgo]

amazon pretty much everywhere

[fleet vale]

ok but it doesnt matter the region right?

[faint flare]

Yes, codes are region locked

[fleet vale]

ok

I play in ragnarok server which is EU

so I have to get europe game card

I am just noob into these stuff sorry

[primal relic]

Currently I’m not playing a Tank, but I would like to know if dmg reduction skill stack? I’ve assumed no, so I would space them out during encounters, use them during key points, or not use them if the mob aren’t doing much. Would it be better just to pop them for all fights?

[faint flare]

They stack multiplicity

[primal relic]

?

[faint flare]

So while theu stack, you don't stack all of them

[buoyant dune]

Anyone got a good dragoon controller setup? I'm having trouble fitting all my skills.

[faint flare]

20% + 30% mitigation isn't 50%

It's 44% or so

When it's multiplicative

That's just how maths work

With percents

[leaden ginkgo]

btw should you watch this opening cinematic or it spoils whole arr?

[faint flare]

Tanks should be using Cooldowns 1 by 1

[umbral nest]

is there a way to get 15 days for free?

[faint flare]

Only stacking if absolutely necessary

[primal relic]

Oooh I see, so is how I’m using them fine? Or is there a way I should prioritize using them a different way?

[faint flare]

Cycle them 1 by 1

You want to be tanky for longer In trash due to the high sustained damage

If you used everything at once you'll fucking die once it's all over

Or get alot of hate from healers

Or both

[random girder]

which one

[primal relic]

This include skills like Reprisal and Arm’s Length right?

[random girder]

the one on the free trial is end of an era right

[faint flare]

Yes, though Arms length is somewhat fine to stack

Since it's just a slow and not raw damage reduction

[primal relic]

Okay dokie, thanks!

[random girder]

@leaden ginkgo unless it says it has spoilers it should be fine

[leaden ginkgo]

@random girder it plays when you afk in menu

[random girder]

just dont watch the heavensward trailer

on the free trial or have you bought the game

[leaden ginkgo]

free trial

[random girder]

ok should be fine

p sure that plays end of an era

which is the end of 1.0

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah but it shows battle we dont remember so its kinda spoilers imo?

[random girder]

nah

[spiral inlet]

wait

MT

[random girder]

it isnt a mystery

thats what happened at carteneau 5 years before arr

the mystery is how people survived

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thx

[boreal storm]

And some things get answered in coils

[astral edge]

do yous think that patch 2.4 msq's are kinda boring

cause ive been told that heavensward is really good and that later arr+ is better than arr but tbh it feels kinda boring rn where im at

which is 'tendrils of intrigue'

[random girder]

i really love 2.4 but it all comes down to preference

[astral edge]

i think its like

well the actual events are better and more interesting

but the gameplay itself feels boring

[buoyant sorrel]

things change A LOT atmospherically in HW

[astral edge]

it feels like theres boring fetch quest gameplay in between the story im tryna experience

[buoyant sorrel]

ARR is better later on, HW is worse on the later stages imho

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possible to get one free name change? like the fantasia potion but for name change?

[boreal storm]

No

[junior walrus]

Is NG+ worth doing ?

[astral edge]

ngl i hate how restrictive the technical/account stuff is for ffxiv

[modest igloo]

there are no rewards from it

jsut story

[astral edge]

like no being able to switch service account platform except if its nonsteam trial to steam paid

or no name change

[junior walrus]

I see

[bleak solar]

are there any dps casters that have a self heal?

[buoyant sorrel]

red mage

just red mage, summoner self-heal is pitiful

[boreal storm]

Summoner has physik but it’s garbo

[stray zephyr]

Completely Random if that works or not and SE has no clue why, Trial switching, like everything else is not guaranteed

[sterile tundra]

Quick question which tank class is easier to master with a controller gunbreaker or dark knight?

[astral edge]

uhhh wait so am i supposed to miss out on a steam sale...?

[onyx kiln]

is the quest irresistable the last one of the ShB relic quests?

[astral edge]

i think you can just like enter the code into mogstation tho right

and if that wont work ig i can refund

[stray zephyr]

Like the quoted post said from SE, it works for some, it doesnt work for others, 1 on 1 They say you can take that risk and if it doesnt work they will refund you but Steam flatout says no refunds. So if a steam code doesnt work for you, you are going to have to potentially fight 2 companies to figure out your refund.

Since they cant guarantee that it works they say in official posts dont mix and match because its less headache for them to deal with if the system doesnt allow it for that player

I have always assumed they are incompatible because Steam uses steam wallet integration and Windows uses Crysta

[warm snow]

Yes it's the final quest

[onyx kiln]

so there is no form of the final relic before its glowing one?

[stray zephyr]

no

[onyx kiln]

that is kinda meh

[stray zephyr]

2 stages before glow but for the actual relic it is the last thing you get and it has its glow

[misty leaf]

hello people, does anyone know if the regalia type G mount (ff XV car) be back at some point?

[astral edge]

i have a friend who bought steam but pays sub with crysta so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[onyx kiln]

think it will next month

or this one

[misty leaf]

sweet, are there any details? cash shop, event, or something else

[onyx kiln]

but havent seen anything that confirms it right of

[misty leaf]

nothing then i guess

[warm snow]

no but you can buy a non glow replica once you're done

[misty leaf]

was it hard to get through the event?

[warm snow]

[stray zephyr]

Probably because they were one of the few it worked for (if they switched "platforms" and it didnt swap the currency in the system), Reading isnt this hard my guy, SE flat out says it works for some and not others, yay for him that it worked, he got lucky. That doesnt change the fact that SE has absolutely no clue why some players can and some cant so they say dont do it wont work to cover their ass

[onyx kiln]

if it is the car, all i know is that it was something that costed some MGP

[astral edge]

i dont wanna wait like 3 months tho just to buy game on sale

[warm snow]

200k MGP

last time

[astral edge]

also im pretty sure they never switched, they were always on steam

[stray zephyr]

Then your only choice is to try it and see if you are one of the lucky ones and if you arent you are going to have to fight Steam for a refund, since SE says they will refund in that case but Steam says you are SoL.

otherwise you will have to wait for a sale or check other authorized Key sellers for a windows version at discount

[manic flare]

what's going on with cactuar server?

[astral edge]

what other authorized key sellers are there

[obtuse forum]

hi I need some help here i was playing on windows i go t anew Mac how do i transfer my account over

[faint flare]

Biggest wow streamer coming over

[broken cairn]

is there any way to cancel a world visit once you've queued for it?

[astral edge]

you can try use wine to emulate windows programs

[stray zephyr]

I absolutely hate their Community ethics, but GmG has complete windows edition on sale right now and shadowbringers, I dont know what all you are missing
https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition/

[obtuse forum]

?

[broken cairn]

@astral edge FF14 runs natively on mac

[stray zephyr]

Just buy the game on Mac and make sure you use the codes on the proper service account so you can carry over your characters

[broken cairn]

Akastone, you'll need to buy the game / expansions again on Mac

[astral edge]

isnt there like an extra price for it tho for mac

[broken cairn]

not over pc

[stray zephyr]

just buying it again

[broken cairn]

you have to buy licenses again, thou

[obtuse forum]

the stand game right?

then just use the code i got befor?

[astral edge]

considering my parents are the ones using the credit card and im just pulling out of my pocket money, not sure theyll wanna buy off a site like that

[stray zephyr]

It's a legitimate site, Just they left a bad taste in the mouth of all Playfire users. They are going to be the cheapest way to get your codes unless you wait for a SE sale again. If you do get it from GmG just check that it is the one for your region in the view regions drop down for that link

[astral edge]

yeah my region is supported

ig i can try ask my parents

to get from there

[vague ivy]

can you gift a mogstation item to a free trialer?

[stray zephyr]

@astral edge If you get the complete edition it will give you a base game code and the newest expansion that is out code, since you already own the base game you could give that code to a friend and just use the Shadowbringers code, otherwise just get shadowbringers if that is all you are missing

[onyx kiln]

no

[stray zephyr]

dont think so

[vague ivy]

can't they input the code in mog station?

[raven sage]

Free trial players can't use codes

[astral edge]

i dont have base game tho, only trial

isnt there an initial price of €10

[stray zephyr]

Then complete is what you would want

Base game comes with 30 days free

[vague ivy]

ah sad

thank you!

[astral edge]

not really "free" is it tho

[stray zephyr]

your only cost is buying the game and the monthly subscription

Its free in the sense you arent paying for the first month

[astral edge]

but you are kinda

shadowbringers is one cost

[stray zephyr]

just the game for the first month, after that its sub only

[astral edge]

base game is more like the starting cost of a subscription

[stray zephyr]

subscription can be as low as ~$8 if you only do entry level, standard runs you 15 a month

[astral edge]

wait what

how

isnt it like €11 for entry

euro has higher value than dollars

[stray zephyr]

Just looked it back up, they changed price since I last looked at entry but yes, entry is $12.99, standard is $14.99, Entry lets you have 8 characters, 1 per world, and Standard lets you have 40 characters, 8 per world. If you only plan on ever playing one character just go with entry

[leaden ginkgo]

what class / lost action is good to speed up cluster farming in bozja?

[stray zephyr]

depends what you are, but any damage buffs, if you are tanking for it use a beast or the one right beside it if you have either, that way it is easier for you to stay alive while everyone else kills everything

[buoyant sorrel]

a tank with bloodsucker

depending where you farm, one healer or another dps

[astral edge]

is there any advantage to steam over windows or vice versa

[stray zephyr]

Thats all subjective to the user. The only difference is steam community integration

[sleek needle]

More often sales on windows version

[buoyant sorrel]

there's a very optimised way of cluster farming but i recommend joining the bozja discord for it

[sleek needle]

🤷

[stray zephyr]

Yeah, SE will have it on sale more through them than steam since SE sale all money goes straight to them

[astral edge]

would yall say its more likely for a sale for endwalker to happen on steam or mogstation

or which would happen sooner

[stray zephyr]

Neither

[astral edge]

so at the same time?

[sleek needle]

Not released yet so not for a year at least

[stray zephyr]

They are going to charge full price for that for atleast a good amount of months after its release

[sleek needle]

A year from now I mean

[stray zephyr]

Steam and SE will never have a FFXIV sale at the same time, It makes no sense for SE to offer a Sale that they only get a portion of the proceeds from while they are doing a SE sale at the same time

[sleek needle]

Probably going to follow into the more often sales on SE too

[astral edge]

alright so ill try to get the windows version then through that other site

[stray zephyr]

its going to be your cheapest way to do it without waiting on another SE sale

[bleak solar]

why can't I do this quest? i'm level 16 it says this is 14

[dapper ravine]

can you show what it says?

[lilac mason]

iirc you got earrings you need to put on

[bleak solar]

oh yeah, just couldn't find them in my inventory lol. got it now, thanks

[inland pasture]

What's the point of Scathe when you can use Fire or Ice instead?

[astral edge]

i think its to weave in

[sudden musk]

So for the FC part of this DISC do we just put ourselves there or do we look at the Companies there and join the one that seems right for us?

[little swift]

Its literally a you have nothing else you can cast but need to move option

[astral edge]

so like if you have a GCD spell with a cast shorter than the GCD, you can do it while the GCD is rolling and then immediately do the next spell

idk if its ogcd tho

[little swift]

You cant weave scathe

[astral edge]

so i might be wrong

[little swift]

Its gcd

[astral edge]

oh

yeah then just "you can only move" option

[little swift]

Basically you never use it

Since you have other movement tools

[dense sandal]

If I want to learn a new class can I do it with the same character or do I have to start a new character? Thanks just joined recently and so much to learn haha

[lilac mason]

once you do the lvl 10 class quest for your starting class you can learn any class you want

[dense sandal]

Thanks

[little swift]

Don't start a new character @dense sandal

[dense sandal]

It’s cool you can do everything on one character.

Thanks

Wdym lol, how am I supposed to use my DCDs

Yes

i am still doing the omega trials so i keep getting second chance points

so maybe i will wait on that

[modest igloo]

sounds like a good idea!

[late coyote]

so i watched a vid on getting you5 first mount and it said after doing the quest 'the company you keep' you get enough like badges to buy the issuance but i dont have any badges?

such a vague description

wth does that mean

[obsidian patio]

not really? it's pretty direct. 20% of the time it will do 200 potency instead

still a pretty bad skill overall and only use for really extended movement when you don't have any instant cast options

yes

okay

i swear i found some guy running at lightning speed

welp gonna stick with chocobo then 😆

[glacial isle]

Can the Grand Company Teleport Tickets can still be used if you leave their respective Grand Company?

[warm snow]

!faq mount

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[warm snow]

No

[astral edge]

are alt accounts allowed?

[warm snow]

I don't see why they wouldn't, but I simultaneously don't see why you'd need one

[astral edge]

referrals

would it be allowed for that

[warm snow]

You need to spend money to use referrals so I don't think they'll care

[astral edge]

oh

[obsidian patio]

AFAIK yeah they're fine

[astral edge]

oh i see, you gotta sub to use referral

[obsidian patio]

yep

[warm snow]

Well yes but actually no

You need to own the game to be referred, and once you buy sub time you can't be referred

[obsidian patio]

if you want the maximum amount of feathers, the recruited accounts need to pay for 180 days of subscription

so the accounts need base game + however much subscription you want to pay

so $20-$100

[astral edge]

ok wait so when i decide to buy base game i can go use a referral?

rn im trial

[obsidian patio]

yes

[astral edge]

how do you create referrals

[subtle yoke]

hey folks, weird question probably but it's hard to find answers elsewhere: are the viera armour options (in general, nothing race specific) stereotypically skimpy or relatively normal?

Hello and thanks in advance! - I'm looking to come back to the game, but I did not play Shadowbringers. At first I thought if I preordered Endwalker, that would get me caught up, but it seems like I wouldn't be able to play through Shadowbringers until Endwalker came out. Just wanting to confirm that the only way to do this is to buy Shadowbringers full price now and then Endwalker when it comes out! Thanks!~

[obsidian patio]

yes

You'll need to buy shadowbringers now to get it, as Endwalker won't give it until official launch

it keeps saying my id or password are wrong which theyre not since im using it to login to mog station

!faq macrogcd

[zinc orbit]

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[faint flare]

See video why it's shit

[leaden ginkgo]

So there are guides in the pins? And ah ok I’ll have to work on relic weapons when I get there, just trying to plan ahead

[obsidian patio]

macros are too clumsy for precise stuff like combat rotations

they also only work in whole-second intervals for placing commands

so you lose a lot of uptime trying to macro a combo

Decimals don't work

[obsidian patio]

it doesn't look at the decimals at all

[faint flare]

It rounds up

That's why all crafting macros are either wait 2s or 3s

[mild basalt]

It is useful for activating a long sequence and go grab something from the fridge

[outer mural]

macros bad for combat besides fringe cases

that's the bottom line

[faint flare]

That's placebo

[obsidian patio]

[mild basalt]

?

[faint flare]

Macros don't see decimals at all

They will round up or down

[outer mural]

wynne is bapping u bc that's bad advice

macros bad and hitting a long sequence in anything but a braindead overworld add is probably not helpful

[abstract locust]

is there any real reason to do my hunting log if Im over leveled due to road to 70 buff?

If decimals worked then macroing combos wouldn't be as shit, but still shit

It's your standard 24man boss

Not hard

[rustic flare]

Indeed. But got to watch out for Growing Threat. The same skill used in Final Fantasy 12.

[faint flare]

Growing threat just makes him walk around the areba

[torpid dagger]

I have PLD,BRD,NIN at 510 lvl 80, is it soloable unsynced?

[faint flare]

It makes him fucking weak as shit and stop doing mechanics

[rustic flare]

Ah. So it's different than when it's level doubles.

Believe me. I know. I am one of the few that actually defeated Yiazmat in Final Fantasy 12.

Now. Is the Orbonne Monastery also part of final fantasy 12?

[faint flare]

It's part of 14s ivalice

[mild basalt]

Wasn't that the 8+ hour boss?

[rustic flare]

Yes

[mild basalt]

If so, HOLY MEDAROLI my dude

Even my ASD can't keep focus up that long

[faint flare]

Or just a case of setting good gambits and afking

[oak ice]

Yiazmat shouldn't take 8+ hours

[rustic flare]

But in 14. Yiazmat is just a shadow of it's former self. But still very powerful

All to complete the Zodiac Brave Story.

[faint flare]

It's a pushover

It has no real mechanics these days outside of magnets

Which is literally just "stay down idiot"

[rustic flare]

And the Ridorana Lighthouse alliance raid is connected to Final Fantasy 12. The Ridorana Cataract.

And it's where a high majester judge awaits you.

That would be Gabranth

[tacit river]

how do you cash in achievment points

[obsidian patio]

talk to Jonathas in Old Gridania and he does it automatically

he's the trophy icon on the map

[wet cradle]

how many rooms can a FC house have?

[obsidian patio]

512, one for each FC member

[wet cradle]

hmm its weird

we have 30 rooms

so it expands automatically?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[wet cradle]

thanks! 🙂

For wedding I need to be wearing the bracelet and have the blank invitation in my inventory, anything aside from that?

In order to start the ceremony I mean.

[tacit birch]

how do i get to dravania

the msq requires me to get there

but i can't find a way

[obsidian patio]

northwest corner of coerthas western highlands

[obsidian patio]

that's all you need.

[runic mortar]

Hello! I just started bozja a few days ago but have heard there are other options for leveling at this time that are connected the queen questline. Could someone give me a quick rundown on whatever DR is, Zadnor, and any other options connected to the quest line (as well as how to unlock them, like should I continue to do bozja and they'll unlock eventually)

[umbral nest]

is fire 2 good guys?

[obsidian patio]

it's not great AoE but it's all you have for certain level stretches

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

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

[obsidian patio]

you use it from 18 to 34, spam freeze until 49, and then use it again for 50-67

[umbral nest]

!action transpose

[zinc orbit]

**Transpose** : lvl 4 THM BLM (5.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Swaps Astral Fire with a single Umbral Ice, or Umbral Ice with a single Astral Fire.

Powered by XIVAPI

[runic mortar]

okay, is delirium reginae DR?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[runic mortar]

*delubrium

okay cool

[obsidian patio]

it's basically the ending to Bozja before going to Zadnor

[umbral nest]

why switch freeze later on?

[obsidian patio]

Fire 2 is incredibly MP hungry

[runic mortar]

I've heard people say that too lol

[umbral nest]

!action freeze

[zinc orbit]

**Freeze** : lvl 35 BLM (1000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

[obsidian patio]

even with Fire stack's potency bonus, you can only get 3 or so out every fire cycle

it also has a longer cast time for whatever reason

[umbral nest]

freeze sounds better though

[obsidian patio]

both of those make Freeze better until you get Flare to end off the aoe rotation

[umbral nest]

like damage wise

[obsidian patio]

it is

[umbral nest]

but ig fire 2 is good bc of the fire stack thing

[runic mortar]

Oop okay ty

[umbral nest]

what i dont get is

every 1 orb the potency doubles?

[runic mortar]

so basically for 71-80 leveling just do bozja until I unlock the other apparently better methods

[obsidian patio]

no

[umbral nest]

bc the mp cost does

[obsidian patio]

1 stack is like +20% fire damage
2 stacks is +40%
3 stacks is +80%

[umbral nest]

oh fuck thats so confusing

max orbs are 3 right

?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[umbral nest]

how much potency does fire 2 get from 3 orbs

i typed that very poorly

[obsidian patio]

80+40%= like 112 potency or so

but it's still half a second slower than freeze

[frigid notch]

Hey guys I have two scholar questions. Will dissipation deplete my fairies gauge? Also should I dot mobs in an aoe situation or just start pumping out art of war?

[umbral nest]

hm

[obsidian patio]

it doesn't delete fairy gauge

[umbral nest]

so why swap freeze later on?

[runic mortar]

If you are really worried about optimal damage just follow the rotation they have, people have already calculated so you don't have to

[obsidian patio]

you mean going from freeze spam back to fire 2? because of Flare

!action flare

[late coyote]

just got scholar and im getting used to the spells and such but i have 2 pets but they seem to do the same i dont see any new abilites on either of em wich one should i use and whats the difference?

[zinc orbit]

**Flare** : lvl 50 BLM (2.5 second cooldown)(4.0 second base cast time)

Deals fire damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 260 for the first enemy, and 40% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III and removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s

[runic mortar]

Flare is basically aoe finisher

[obsidian patio]

they're both the same, just different looks

[runic mortar]

so it adds potency

[frigid notch]

Thanks!

[runic mortar]

then you go back to freeze adding once you get umbra soul iirc

[late coyote]

ah so its just like story/RP kinda stuff

[frigid notch]

They used to have different abilities but now they are just cosmetic.

[umbral nest]

i see

[obsidian patio]

it's a legacy thing back when the two fairies actually did different things

[umbral nest]

it looks like i will need alot of hotbars

i hate casters man

so many abilities

[obsidian patio]

Honestly BLM cuts a lot of abilities from their main rotation at 80.

[runic mortar]

as long as you read the toolstips and make sure you are managing your mana it really is fairly intuitive, and its more important that you're always outputting damage

[obsidian patio]

You don't use Blizzard 1, Fire 2, Sleep, Scathe most of the time.

[umbral nest]

i still havent found a use for scathe

[obsidian patio]

Transpose takes a back-seat in the rotation since Umbral soul lets you starts fights at full ice stacks

[runic mortar]

blm is constantly changing so its good to always be checking what the rotation guide and trying to understand why your current traits would allow you to make that change for more damage

[late coyote]

what difference did they have before?

[obsidian patio]

Eos was the healing focused one, Selene was utility

[frigid notch]

^

[late coyote]

ah ok

[runic mortar]

oh yeah now its just what is your fave color lol

[obsidian patio]

Eos had both the level 20 and 40 skill, Selene had an ability that became part of the level 40 skill, an aoe esuna, and a pretty bad silence

[frigid notch]

I use blue glams now so eos is my pal.

🤣

[runic mortar]

are esuna sounds nice for certain content

*aoe

rip old abilities

[obsidian patio]

it was broken since it was either very niche or downright required

not good balance

It eventually turned into a very minor haste buff

[frigid notch]

I imagine scholar is going to get the biggest rework out of the healers in end walker. Since it’s the least played and they are adding a healer. Any news on such things?

[late coyote]

oh also one more thing how is healing in this game? in other mmos i just make like macros or addons for mouseover healing is there anything like that or is that default in?

[twilit arch]

most of the time, you use selene for the opener for her buff

and then swapped to eos

You can make mouseover macros, but generally not recommended for gcd skills

!faq macrogcd

[zinc orbit]

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:

[obsidian patio]

Astrologian is getting a remake since they'll be remade into a "Pure" healer, meaing they'll focus more on regens instead of shield

[sacred oracle]

the game popped this message but i see no gauge on screen?

[runic mortar]

like mercy res ult lol

[twilit arch]

should learn to get comfortable with clicking on the party list or using like f1-8 skills to quickly target party members to heal

[obsidian patio]

Scholar is likely getting a rework of some kind too

[runic mortar]

[obsidian patio]

it's the red gem by the duty list

[sacred oracle]

but that's normal one?

[obsidian patio]

you don't see the top version because you're still in a low level dungeon

[sacred oracle]

oooh

[runic mortar]

Playing jobs that have been streamlined/really heavily adjusted/have been main focus jobs for the balance team makes it so clear which jobs need work

[late coyote]

wait so like you cant skip GCD if you moseover? like rn if you spam a spell after casting another one you can start casting the one your spamming like normal gcd stuff do you mean with mouse over i cant do that?

[twilit arch]

macros can't queue

[runic mortar]

like why does summoner have both an aoe spread AND the trait to reapply the spread at full duration before BRD ever has an aoe spread to begin with

😔

[late coyote]

id figure that having to swap targets from tank to boss al lthe time would loose out on more GCD's no?

ahhh

[twilit arch]

no

the fact that the gcd is 2.5 means it slow enough

that targeting a player to heal and then retargeting the boss to do dps

you're not going to lose gcds

[obsidian patio]

you can also soft target the party with your mouse cursor while keeping your hard target on the boss

[twilit arch]

and you can retarget mid cast anyway

[frigid notch]

I thought that was weird as well. Side winder could easily spread dots. 🤷‍♂️

[late coyote]

ye im used to faster gcd :p so basicly tar tank cast heal then during heal cast spam dps spell on boss to not loose gcd

[runic mortar]

well even then bane is on a 10 second cool down for god's sake, side winder is 60 so it would still be mad weak in comparison but it does damage so idk

[frigid notch]

In most cases unless dps is doing bad stuff. I just end up healing my tank and my aoe heals take care of my party.

[twilit arch]

part of the reason why brd probably won't ever have a dot spread is because their procs are based on it

smn doesn't have any procs based on their dots

[late coyote]

do you not dps then during dungs?

[twilit arch]

you also generally don't need to dot everything as a brd. 3~ is usually enough before you go into quick nock spam
