As a scholar.
Scholars are very preemptive versus reactive.
I’m still pretty new as a returning player so someone correct me if I’m wrong. 🙂
Adlo
Adloquium
And Succor for aoe
you get it when you become scholar
oh i must have read it wrong the desc is really weird it heals then puts a shiled for the amount healing right?
Yes
So typically I apply succor before the pull even begins.
does it havce to be health restored like he has to be low on health to get the shield or can he be full health and just pre give him a sheild?
It.counts overhealing
Once you get emergency tactics that strat changes a little.
You only Succor when you know there's damage that needs to be shielded
Gcd shielding for the sake of it is a waste
ok so it will shield over healing says "nullifying damage equal to 125% of the HP RESTORED" so i assumed it had ot be actual healing
Do melees get a dmg bonus from hitting enemies from behind
Only when a skill says so
though anyone that isnt a tank should usually be behind the boss/at its corners
to do positionals and not get cleaved
So would the cherry tree from mog be considered rmt? I had wanted to like sell it off through being someone’s tenant, no one really seems to have the gil in the first place.
any prediction/news on when the buying diamond mount using totem update drops?
5 58
we don't know
It's the last patch of the expansion
probably closer to EW
So
presumably it may also include dc travel, I'd suspect maybe like september/october tbh
will my ability to rp with people be more difficult or taken less seriously if I dont have a lore name
They said testing would be after September
During the live letter
They might add frame work in the patch and turn it on later
I never roleplayed in this game but did so in swtor and generally, yes, people are less likely to take you seriously with a name that isn't lore appropriate.
That being said it doesn't have to be super true to the lore either, it's usually fine if it's enough to support the whole make believe bit
exactly
joke names are a very bad start
I wanted to name my lala dunes folk holly berry
holly berry? that should be fine
I'm... not sure if that flies in terms of lore 😄
but starlight is in game XD
Starlight Festival is also an Ishgardian holiday
fair point yeah
Lots of lalas have food related names too so while not lore accurate the most important thing with rp is staying in character @willow fog
hey does the ffxiv online complete edition on steam (thats currently $24.10) include every expansion? i know it includes shadowbringers but does it also include previous expansions as well?
so it could kinda work
The rules sort of guided/governed by the parties participating so it might have shifts in certain directions depending on who you interact with
yes, it has everything
yes
i know the square enix complete edition comes with 30 days of game time, does the steam one?
edit: nvm
Anyone got an idea of why mt TPs are getting a dark hue?
think everyones TPs get a dark hue
No
If I buy complete edition se version (not steam) on sale
Can I wait to redeem it to maximize the free sub time
Yes

If I played on a windows version for a while but then get a mac, is it possible to log in with my windows account? I’d probably have to repurchase the actual game, but would my account be accessible? Thanks in advance
yes
I’ve rped with a frog that turned into an Au’Ra with the name Beefy.
Okay I’ve been playing using windows steam for the past few days. Thanks wynne
You can only enter the preorder code
You're not meant to have the actual expansion code yet
what's the go-to way to get better gear at level 50 and up?
i've just caused a couple wipes at a dungeon bc my ilvl was kinda weak
Poetics at the level caps, dungeon and story gear for the X5 levels
At 50 you should be using ironworks
If you have the gil you can also go to ishgard and get gear for every 2 levels if you wanna
From 50-60
check your email and follow the instructions it should tell you where to go
The lv58 gear Is worst than ironworks
i'm on my samurai starting set
That's how bad it is
is it true for WHM after like level 50 to start phasing out cure 1?
ok, thanks, i'll go google ironworks
You.phase out cure 1 after getting cure 2
o... oops
I don't recall this being the case but I haven't leveled with anything but roulettes 50-60 in a while
So I haven't had the need for getting the vendor gear lol
Vendor gear has significantly less stats than equal ilvl gear
It's essentially -30 to its ilvl
ah well that's stinky
In terms of stats
yeah vendor gear past 50 starts to be pretty awful
thanks, will do
well if you wanna use gil at that point its probably better to go to the market board then, but idk what the offerings look like mid 50s and such
and past 60 NQ weapons are WEAK as hell
I do recall vendor gear in shb always just being weaker than what I have
Except for 385 ilvl from crystarium vendor
those wipes were most fun i had since i started playing tho, i got to force myself to use all the skills i have and dash around evading every attack
You're meant to use basically every skill
also if you mean dodging aoes yes do that
i mean, yeah, but it got dynamic and not just use a static rotation
well it depends on the class if that is offered but the goal is to use your skills on cooldown if they deal damage
tank cooldowns and stuff vary based on what you're pulling and healer cooldown are all over the place
i've only tried black mage and samurai so far
ah okay, well samurai has a lot of skills to use in its rotation yeah! Black mage definitely has a static rotation but it gets spiced up mainly by discovering new ways to keep up your damage
and by every couple levels the rotation changing because of a new skill or trait lol
turret roleplay :D
Hey do I lose out on unique armour if I use a Job boost?
no
You'll have to go rebuy old gear from the calamity salvager
it'll be dirt cheap, negligible cost
Or for lv60 gear you use hunting seals in the forgotten knight
Ah cool, so I don't miss out on using lower level armour for glamour.
Just have to buy it
I'll repeat, that I recommend against level boosts
A) you miss out on the job quests which if Ind fun
B) you don't learn your job by playing it
Understood, thank you both.
check mogstation
You might not even learn your job by playing it, but you will at least have some sense of it, there's no point in having something you don't know how to use but it's not like you can't learn either.
hi, im levelig gatheres and i am strugeling to to the first HW quest, what gear should i get to close the gap between ARR? same question about crafters aswell
yeah downloading steam version now
ah, so its going great now?
I had the standalone version
and I bought it using steam
so I'm trying to see if opening it on steam will work
you can move over the standalone version to steam so you dont have to redownload
aka, the game files
ah good to know ty
What's the easiest way to check MB prices in other worlds (besides traveling to the world)?
Hey so
From what ive gathered
Housing crisis is aparently an ingame feature
So im guessing il have to use my inn room
But can i add a storage unit in there?
Is there any way to increase storage as a f2p?
No
You only have your inventory and saddlebag
Saddlebag?
Yes
from the mount?
Chocobo saddlebag
Should open when you get your chocobo
Well yea im asking what lvl do i get it?
chocobo? at 20
Wtf im at 26, am i doing something wrong?
you will get it from main story quest line
Right so the top left thing right?
Yes
Grand company is like a wow guild or?
Yes, just scroll up, but chat will reset everytime you restart the game
there any chat for a party finder in this disc?
Sort of? There should be a channel called #retired-eu-datacentres or similar
got it, ty 😄

so quick question, i am currently lvl 30 and i can not find the quest to get a mount
!faq mounts
'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.
I’ve only played ffxiv on my PS4 /ps5, but I recently got a good PC , just wondering if I should buy steam version or just grab game off their site
Also can I transfer my controller settings and hot bars?
Site is usually better
unless there is a steam sale
do I need to complete the stormblood msq's before I can unlock daily tribe for the false nails glamour?
No
oh damn ok
Beast tribe you’re looking for is the Ananta and you just need to do 6 (or 3?) dailies I believe
you need to have completed atleast the 67 msq to unlock the ananta beast tribe quest
Also requires two side quest chains in the fringes complete to unlock it
can I transfer my controller settings and hot bars from PS4 to PC ?
Hey can you do multiple weapons at the same time for bozja? Like can I gather up 100 memories on one job while continuing the quest line on another?
Yes, but you can not have the same step active for multiple weapons at the same time
Ahh kk tyvm
So as long as you keep the steps spaced out over multiple weapons you can do a few simultaneously
okay awesome, that's exactly what I needed to know! Thanks!
Btw can u use controller on windows version of game ? Or just steam with big picture mode ?
You can use it on any version
Kk ty
Looking through ACN abilities
Is there something I'm missing here
Wait wait I see it
Nevermind
Ignore me completely
does anyone know how I can get through the bridge with the locked door in the fringes?
damn
i have a minor issue:
I understand how the class system is fluid, which is great. however for rp reasons (and to not spend money on changes) I want to play an au ra for "physical" classes and an elf for magically based classes. i would play these two characters as my main (strictly archery, lance etc on the au ra and strictly healing/magic dps on the elf)
would either character suffer from not branching out heavily?
it just doesnt appeal to me for one guy to be everything personally
not really
like the only major downside is you have to do everything all over again on the alt
They wouldn't suffer, you'd just have to do the MSQ twice
what is best server for person from uk ?
theres nothing to be gained from playing multiple classes on the same character anyhow
rest in peace cross class skills
wait those arent a thing anymore?
thats cool
and no professions or crafting or anything will be locked should i choose to focus on one job?
i mean multiple but not bridging magic/phys
nothing will be locked crafting/gathering wise if you choose to focus on one combat job
does unsync affect triple triad drop rate?
no
if i bought the complete edition of the game and my free 30 days is gone, can i buy a 60 day time card ?
or will it not work
and it’s only the last boss can drop card, ye?
lol, i was about to ask about cross class skills myself
cuz people on amazon are saying that like it doesnt work for entry level accounts
im not entry level right
if i have complete edition
so will it work for me then? lol
can someone link the 1 to 70 on alt character in 4 days link
time cards are effectively standard sub
i only bought complete edition from the square enix store when it was on sale
so yeah they dont work if you have entry sub
never bought anything else
you have to upgrade to standard before you can apply them to your acct
how do i know if im entry or standard
but in 70 and dont have stromblood started to get heavon on high
i doubt il be hitting max lvl anytime soon, is there any point to buying the expansions?
Can i just buy a sub?
can't buy a sub without owning the game
ok so buy game buy sub?
starter edition is effectively the trial just without limits
you get 30 days free from buying starter/complete edition, yes
Wow is so backwards you can buy the game, the expansion and not get a 30 day sub so i felt i had to ask
does the eureka weapon Pyros kettle step have a maximum of +4 stats?
5
ugh I'm only on 3
why can't I accept any quests from M'rahz Nunh in the fringes?
5 lines is the maz
where are you in the main scenario quest @leaden ginkgo
I am on Confederate Consternation rn
then thats why
oh damn aight
you're not far enough in msq
ok thanks'
i got the game today and im using this launcher.. and i already have the dlc.. how to download it from here? currently my game is 54GBs https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher
Hi guys, I wanted to ask something. I am new to the game and I recently ended ARR and now I'm starting with heavensward. To be honest, I was super impressed by the post ARR msq and I loved it. However, in heavensward It's just helping these two brothers who can't do anything and nothing interesting happens. Am I too far from something cool from the msq? It's just that after post ARR my expectations were so high that now with the beginning of heavensward I feel discouraged to play. Any help or suggestions?
play the game
it will get good eventually
this is how stories work, they build up in tension and pace
When I'm trying to play the game it just keeps randomly closing with no input or error message warning. Anything I can do about this?
if 10 minor quests bore you this much idk what to tell you, but there’s no around or above here, only through
you're helping the french for a few quests but it gets better
keep it rolling
ok guys, I will keep going but I want the game to be like in Post ARR a lot of tension and things happening. Now I am bored in the winter with everyone missing TT
my scions :ccc
It does get better eventually, I just finished HW last night myself and it does get good. You just need to be patient
But am I too far? just to know
Not sure what you mean by "too far"
You are not, you’re spending more time being impatient about it than it would take to get to the “good part”
do I need to pick a certain class to be healer when I start?
Yes, Conjurer is healer
conjurer is the only starting healer, Arcanist also becomes a healer early on at level 30
what about white mage
that is conjurer
okay i will pick that thanks

I need help with the HUD
Not early enough unfortunately, queues start to matter before then.
So I decided to use the "Standard" HUD size to make it easier to size various HUD elements but now the stuff I can't edit is so tiny
Radio buttons?
Oh, no no no, I mean things like the Journal and any speech windows are too tiny.
Wait what?
can astrologian be any class?
It only lets me mess with stuff on screen at all time.
so, do i have to buy the subscription once i reach lvl 60?
also sorry for interrupting
Things like menu windows don't show up.
@stray zephyrhow much hard disc space is your base game+ShB dlc using
mine is only 54GB and i dont know if i still need to download the DLC or its already in those 54
including the dlc i guess
also whats nvme
sorry eng not my main
oh i see
thanks then. im good 
When 6.0 comes, will I be able to change to the Oceania data Center, or will I have to make an alt?
Can you attend a Ceremony of Eternal Bonding if you're from another server if you receive the invitation via trade?
Not Any, buth Both jobs, therefore Both roles, but only one at any time.
Thanks!
is there a specific console help channel here ?
just wanna know if it possible transfer settings from one to another char on ps5..maybe someone knows this here too
Hi :) My Free Company recently got a house and I want to buy a room, but I gotta get a certain Grand Company rank. What is the fastest way of achieving that? :)
LOL my bad, you are right.
OCE is 6.1, not 6.0. Transfers should be free due to the servers being completely brand new
yeah didnt saw any transfer option from a different char ...but was not sure because the other char is brand new ..anyway thanks for answering
Btw, how does the game expect me to get ilevel 460?
Eden and nier raids, and allegory tomes
80
Apparently tomestones of revelations then, since i'm right on the middle of 5.3 afaik
ahh so ill have to wait even longer 😦 well as long as its a free transfer and my fc transfers too
all those prob require finishing 5.3 if i understand the pinned pic.
except maybe the 2nd tier tomes
Are the glam items in the cash shop single character or account wide?
most of them are single-character, but there are a small number of account-wide ones iirc
does anyone in primal or aether mind telling me how many high end duties are listed in their PF right now? I wanna see just how large the difference is compared to crystal
what happens if i play a lvl 30 job in potd? since i heard u can lvl up your classes there
Seriously what does all this mean and how do I do anything about it

I'm finally going to be doing the 8-man content at the end of ARR in the coming days with a couple FC friends. However, I main a tank (Paladin), and I see it requires two tanks. How are "main tank" and "backup tank" decided? I don't want to screw up everyone's experience
you can discuss who is the main tank, the "backup tank" can also be used to focus on adds
Hi, can i play FF14 without a sub with my account that already got a sub in the past ?
Thank you
np
No, you can only play without a sub if you are on the free trial, but buying the game permanently ends the trial
if u gift 4 subs on twitch you get a mount?
it has to be on one of the listed Twitch channels, and while they are live and playing FFXIV
is it 100% chance of getting it?
yes
is there a way to have myself not showup at the top of the party?
cant find the option
There is not. You’re always on top of the party list.
is there any glamour items similar to this?
so i just redeemed the code for the fat black chocobo but its not on my char
(HW/ARR SPOILERS) might be a spoilery question but do we get to ||beat up Yuyuhase in SB|| or nah? I wanna know bc of what happened after HW with ||Ilberd|| and the whole ||Shinryu|| thing
is Samurai pretty hard to learn? seems like a lot of buttons ;-; overwhelming
no v_v
it's one of the easier melee dps classes
less positionals than other melee dps
https://gyazo.com/8983fe8d712adee767a1661758675e7a what does legacy indicate? does it matter?
has same amount of positionals as nin and drg
just means it was a 1.0/merged 1.0 servers. doesn't mean anything these days
i see, thanks
@manic flare ah okay, does the rotation only consist of a couple buttons cause my ability bar is flooded lol
well you do need to press quite a few different buttons for sam, so i wouldn't say it's simpler in that regard
does it usually ttake a while to get the mount in the mail?
it's simpler because i just find sam to be more straightforward than the other melee dps
mogstation items can take a bit to be delivered ye
is it possible to see server populations somewhere? like specifics
whats the most beginner friendly class you'd say?
any healer except scholar i think
or any tank class
any census we have is unofficial and should be taken with a huge grain of salt
and realistically at the end of the day, server itself isn't too terribly important unless you have a specific free company (aka player guild) that you want to join
why is that?
duty finder is cross server, and you use world visit to go to other servers do various things
like check their marketboard for cheaper deals and such
you might be able to make more gil easier in some servers than others
i see, thank you. are server transfers possible if i do want to change in the future?
yes
thanks a lot for ur help
costs 18$ however
some servers have a lot more crafters so it's harder to make money crafting in those servers...but at the same time, the crafted items tend to be cheaper in those servers...so it might be beneficial for people who don't want to craft
its a matter of finding your niche
like with any server
so thats kind of a moot point
not to mention there's plenty of ways of making gil
I made like 200k gil on Jenova 2 years or so ago purely from reselling the orchestrion rolls that the starting city-state vendors sell for 5k each
from what i've heard (take with grain of salt), japanese severs have a lot more crafters so crafted items tend to be cheaper there
i know many people who are planning to raid the japanese server marketboards for shopping reasons once cross-DC visits become a thing
so it may actually not matter what server you are in a few months
I personally doubt trading/marketboard access for cross-datacenter will be allowed for that exact reason
a bit of a lazy question since i havent checked yet but is it possible to play with jp audio on eng client?
yes. System config > audio settings IIRC
awesome thanks
Might be the last category box
also the reason i find SAM to be more straightforward is that
the various different melee combos for NIN, MNK, and DRG have buffs, so you have to do the combos in a particular order for an optimal rotation.
DRG also has additional buffs outside of those combos which you need to apply at specific times
NIN has a complex rotation involving using a particular ninjutsus first for a buff before your melee combo
and MNK has a ton of positionals which can get overwhelming
you're naturally going to reapply your drg buffs as part of the rotation
its like one of the most static rotations in the game

When is the fat chocobo event 'till again? Mid July?
what is a fat chocobo event? you can get a fat chocobo by hitting 3k comms, outside of event
It ends August 24
theres a chocobo event...?
oh
so thats where they come from..
i dont suppose the white fat chocobo ever made a comeback between 2016.. and well now?
I can’t remember x_x
Original fat chocobo is like gone for good, I’m pretty sure
i was watching a mount video about how the fat black chocobo is unattainable
so to my surprise that i find out now that its.. in fact obtainable after all!
lol
Yeah it's only tied to events so if no event for it is going on it won't be obtainable
iiii see
Not sure if they'll ever run another one after this
I killed 3 amalj'aa for the hunt, how do I collect the seals so I can get chocobo insurance?
They're automatically given to you
oooh I see, thank you
okay and another question, I'm a level 28 conjurer, and I feel like I'm only pressing 3 buttons, aero, stone, and cure, do I get more abilities soon?
do you need to finish ARR to unlock dark knight?
Yes you need to finish ARR to unlock it
Yep, that's all classes/jobs at first
kk thank you
Can you change classe while you wait for a raid? And if the raid start will i go back to to class wich i started the raid waiting?
Yes
To the first part
You need to change back to your class/job you queued with initially
When you find a queue
oh in the timer
When you get the notification that you can ready up
Hey, I'm new to the Diadem, how do you get materials above grade 4? I'm assuming 1 is the best and 4 is the worst
none of the previous stages of diadem are in-game anymore barring grade 2/3 expert materials
tysm
is it possible to customize created characters? e.g. skin color/hair etc
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
First time playing and was really hoping to get this working
Yes, you can't change things like skin color or height, though without buying a fantasia for $10 or using the one they give you from ARR
ty
Just go back into it, it saves progress
How long does pentameld gear last you
i think until next expansion if you're talking about DoH/DoL gear
even non-melded or minimal melds for Aesthete will last until 90
same for the white scrip saint set
Yeah I'm almost done with my last four for my last side for my 490 set and wondering how long it will last me
it'll be good for the entire Endwalker leveling process and making the baseline level 90 crafted set
have you tried for the relic crafter gear?
how do I mount up outside? it says can't excute at this time, but other people are mounted near me
do you have a mount?
ye just got the chocobo I think
Yes I got to dragonsung for cul and my bsm I'm fully completed
go to the mount guide...do you see anything?
did you use the whistle?
So ive been playing BLM for months focusing on savage content and decided to level up soem alt jobs. first one was DRK and i enjoyed goign to 80 via dungeon grinds and daily roulettes every day. now doing DRG and my q time is obviously a lot slower. any tips on best way to level DPS alt job?
(i really dislike POTD if there are alternatives :P)
!faq altlevelingguidie
!faq altlevelguide
ty
Is there a tier list like which allegory piece is better to get first?
in terms of pure stats: Weapon > Chest/Legs > Head/Arms/Feet > Belt+Accessories
of course, replacing weaker accessories might be better if its very low in item level
Mmhm, ty :3
Also of potential note is that belts are getting Thanos'd come November.
Is there a guide on how to get the different materials each one of these needs? I’m kinda overwhelmed I just want better gear
You'll only really want your eyes on Shire, yeah.
It's all just glamour nowadays.
too early to worry about
Shire costs Poetics which you should already be familiar with from Ironworks gear
Alright how do I get the currency for shire
!faq poetics
Oh ok
do level 50/60/70 content
Is there no Marketboard on eulmore?
Alright thank you, is the rest worth it for the glamor or are they hard to get
probably fates near your level, or beast tribe dailies if you have them unlocked
how about hunt log?
That’s only really helpful pre-15
Hunting Log is the best way to get to level 15/16
only good until the 20's or so
After that you do roulettes and dungeons/PotD
gotcha
it starts to fall off past that
so only thing really to do when in dungeon q is fates?
FATEs are okay if you're really desparate to do something for extra exp during queue times
they're not amazing
(IF you know the route)
i just had friend 1 shot 80s until level 15
but sitting in dungeon qs for 20+ mins now lol
Like knowing where to go form the first to the last instead of losing time trying to find each place
You might be interested in PotD to avoid long DPS queues, but you have to get through some long queues even then in order to unlock the good leveling floors.
sorry for noob questions but how do i access hunting log?
Doesn't take time. You don't need some hyper-optimisation route in order for Hunting Log to still be the best.
i have floor 51-60. its just so boring to me haha
H on keyboard by default
very fair
ty
This applies more towards clan hunts
If you take 20 mins finding some mob that only spawns in 3 places, each a single one and don't know where exactly they spawn you are going to have a baaad time.
The hunting log doesn't have any of those.
there's none like that
So, not relevant.
worst case is taking like 10 minutes finding the right spot that has all 3 of the thing
as a new player can i skip side quests or will i be lacking xp if i do so?
to keep up with campaign
Sure there is, the fairy one is such
Skip the ones that are yellow
skip, they're not good for exp in the first place
ty
what do you mean by "the fairy one"
Do do these blue+ quests as they unlock content or features 
the sylphlands?
But yellow sidequests
can be ignored
thanks!
yeh, i think
You don't have to go to the Sylphlands for any Hunting Logs until level 40-50 which is not relevant to the quick leveling method that was being discussed.
There are many bombs outside Copperbell Mines
But not sure if thats low leve either
Also there are Hunting log sites that say exactly where they spawn
which should be where the Hunting Log tells you to go.
There are very few Hunting log targets which are at all hard to find between levels 1 and 30
Only really problematic one I can think of is the little glowy firefly things in Lower La Noscea
Easy way, lookup zeplahq on youtube, she's got a list of top ten sites for FFXIV u cannot live w out

the ixal in north shroud in that tiny pocket trip up a lot of people
should i prio 100% hunting logs as a new player?
nah
completing it only gives a i55 ring that's basically vanity
!iglam Master Conjurer's Ring
one for each starting class and rogue
i see, ty
Crafters and gatherers have their own versions too, but different unlock method
What dungeon should i run for the last step of resistance weapon?
it's still OK exp up until like mid level 20s but not vital
For Raw Emotions? I think most people spam Hells Lid
Yes, thanks!
RDM and SAM are the only classes that start at 50 right?
Yep
Thx
hello! is there much point in raising the level of your GC squadron? i've unlocked the instanced dungeons part and am wondering how much time i should dedicate to this
i would like to reach full rank in the GC. I assume to do that i have to do these squadron missions right?
yes
they need to be at least level 50 to unlock the captain rank, the current highest rank
If you have a high end pc please dm me, I need to know how much fps you get in limsa or some where crowded.

hi
I have a question
My collection says 41/50, but I still need or missing 10 field notes
Is that right?
So there's 51 field notes in total?
and i only need to collect 50?
Can the lvl 60 GNB outsider artifact gears be made dyeable?
Its to exchange for lvl 50 artifacts at mor dhona
The only reason you'd need it is if you threw out the ilvl 90 set that you got from doing your level 50 job quest
In case you trash your pieces and want them back
That used to be how you earned it, back when the job quest only gave you the ilvl 50 set
Is it possible to level blue mages in shb content or am I just too low level
The spot with level 70 mobs in Amh Araeng is a decent spot for someone to powerlevel you
but if you mean ShB instances, there's no way to take a BLU in there
know this is a very specific question but does anyone know if preordering endwalker through gamestop gets you the earrings/minion when you preroder it, or if its during pickup?
I mean over world
This is probably an incredibly dumb question, but there's not a channel to find parties in this discord, is there?
@weak gorge not really no. Easier to do through in game party finder
Thought as much - Thanks Niv. 🙂
there's recruitment channels but they are mostly used for FCs and statics
you can still try the #494379215420915712 channel
Oh I just didn't know if that was against what the channel was made for is all. 😄
How does playing a healing/tanking job through main story feel
The same
I played PLD through the entire main story, felt great.
@pine plover faster queue times for story dungeons
yea ive heard
But other wise the same
but pve wont feel too much slower than dps?
nah, its for all recruitment. DW.
in terms of just questing
Healers might take slightly longer to clear. But nothing that can't be cleared
in terms of solo instances, the enemies are adjusted
Cheers mate. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. 🙂
alright, thanks
in terms of overworld, its mostly the same
might give scholar a try
Oh i didnt know about this
since the mobs die so quickly anyway
infact, i think healer is the best way
Definitely use whatever you want without worries
since you can heal yourself
When you register the preorder code to your Mog Station account.
that does make sense
although does not every dps get that heal skill early on?
heat of battle or something i cant remember
only melees have second wind
Tanks also have all their “stop dying” skills
casters have some sort of heal but its not reliable
BLM has no heal at all and only has that shield
yea i'll probably try some healer quests/mayyybe tanking
honestly, pick whatever
just that its not true healer/tank takes longer or has any form of disadvantage
👍
only from monsters specifically level 70
any higher won't give the boosted experience
and fates aren't boosted at all by being a BLU
does anyone know how to get the level 70 artifact armor after using a 70 booster? I can't seen to find the answers anywhere on google. since the booster kills the quest for it, I cant seem to find it.
calamity salvager
any salvager?
yeah any of the three
All of them have the same wares
anyone at tonberry want to help me finish omega story line? queue is kinda long even for Healer
hi. i have story questions. i'm at the end of heavensward 3.4 where ||we've fought warrior of darkness and urianger told us his plans.|| two questions:
1.||this team has the same appearance as warrior of lights from ff14 legacy right? so we assume they're the counterparts from First star but not the ones teleported by louisoix in our world correct?||
2. is coil of bahamut quest chain worth doing for the sake of knowing what happened with ||alisaie and our MC during that quest? like maybe it explains how alisaie gained aethereal blade?||
yes and yes
No.
ok. i have yet to start any of the bahamut trials
Nono
though ||coils does not explain why she has a new weapon||
probably now is a good time before starting new arc
My girlfriend and I just decided to buy FFVIX after playing the trial. We bought the complete edition through steam. They game me CD keys to imput, where can I find to put them? The Senix store won't accept the code.
Wait I'll type out an answer
||the warriors of darkness looking the way they do is simply a reference to the cinematic group, and they are not exact copies or the same people||
- ||They're not supposed to be the characters from the Louisoix cutscene. The fact that they look like those characters is basically just a nudge and a wink.||
oh
I just bought today too , u type code in when u start up game
i didnt play legacy. so during legacy, ||were they constantly shown throughout the game or just during that final cutscene?||
- ||Them looking like the trailer characters is just visual shorthand for "they're just like you" because some dev thought it would be cute. The WoLs in the cinematic trailers are you the players. The Hyur Midlander is you the player.||
- ||Yes the story in Coils is significant but it does not explain how Alisaie gained an aetherial blade. She's just good at stuff.||
They are the players.
ahh
okay
i thought of it like that initially, but was confused when they showed up again here
alright clear now
If you haven't seen the 1.0 trailer before, watch that too
i've watched it
not the ARR trailer but the original 1.0
The Hyur Midlander player stand-in appears in every cinematic trailer.
also read the story
Just bought ffxiv for steam today (been on PS4 for couple years now) and I can’t seem to get my controller working right , either button presses are extremely delayed or just not working at all , not sure how to fix
Including all the expansions.
someone in reddit posted a forum with story
so i've read that, and watched the ending on youtube
His other party members appear in all the trailers up to Heavensward but not in the ones after.
also re-watched the prologue
He’s the derplander, as we lovingly call him
Don’t use duty finder for them
hmm or i need to convince my friends this is worth doing
one of them said the mechanic is very complicated
he read / watched maybe
just unsync
Unsyncing lets you ignore mechanics
80s burn down bosses in like 10 seconds
Which is what everyone does for coils
I just finished "A Relic Reborn", Gerolt has the the quest "Up in Arms" but it says I cannot start it unless I have Curtana equipped, which I do? Is there something i'm missing?
we're lvl at 70 now
i solod most of it on drk except for t9
but if we do unsync, we'll kinda lose the "fun" of figuring out the mechanics
it is savage difficulty
It’s stupid hard
so if you wanna jump into that without having done an ex fight

but i dont recommend it lol
it is also jank
because arr
well i like that part, but some of them just want to bruteforce everything
like titan
havent managed to clear that yet
synced
ex?
If you’re just doing it for the story, unsync it. It’s honestly easier
i understand the mechanics already, but execution is difficult fora team of random people
ok
Curtana Zenith. Upgrade your Curtana and Holy Shield to Zenith by purchasing three Thavnairian Mists from Auriana in Mor Dhona, and handing them in with the sword + shield to the furnace near Gerolt.
Oh okay, thank you
Is there a similar guide for 70-80?
basically for 70-80, add in trust dungeons/bozja/pixie beast tribe
Where do i get the summer flame set?
How do I ping coords on a map?
came from last year's moonfire faire, won't be in the mogstation until close to this year's event starts
(August)
ok
why is my presence of mind greyed out?
in encounters, duties, dungeons
oooh because I'm scaled down?
Please help im dumb for some reason there is a second hotbar under the hotbar that normaly appears im playing on ps4 and have no idea how to get rid of it
ctrl+right click on your map then press enter in your chat
Endless Summer attire on mogstation
So now that i got a 80 crafter, what marcos do i need
they are specific to what you are trying to craft
as well as your stats/soul/potion/food
you can try the teamcraft community macro list and scroll through them
Hi guys im having some issue activating the game, i got the code back in 2019 but when i try it rn it say it has already been used or invalid, any one maybe know why??
There's a setting to make system sounds play while minimized but I do not think the game will un-minimize itself
no but you can set it so the queue pop jingle plays even when its minimized
you can also hear the ticking of it counting down
if i bought the complete edition, do i still need to buy the base game?
how do i skip shadowbringers msq
is the activation code what im supposed to type in when they ask for the registration code?
there will not be a Shadowbringers skip in the store until Endwalker launches
you don't. you have to play through it currently
You don't
or is there a expiry dates for activation codes? cos i havent used mine and it cant be used anymore 😦
Skele you’ve asked this like 5 times already, play the video game
you can hold on to it for a while. they typically don't expire
i held mine for my complete edition back then for like 6 months

where did you activate the code in the end
probably not a thing, but are you sure it's for the right region (NA, EU, etc.)?
FINAL FANTASY® XIV ONLINE COMPLETE EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD]
this is what it is
idt its region based
they are
it is
you ahve to activate a code for the region your account is assigned to
region has to match the region of the account you're adding it to
oh... shit
||is WoL (you) in 1.0 getting teleported by louissox in trailer of 2.0 and 5.0 trailer (in short flash back canon or is it just in trailer and not canon ,-,||
how do i check tho
Hey can someone held me out? One of my friend’s game is constantly crashing :/
This is the message he’s getting
||its only you if you played in 1.0||
Souka thanks kaelwryn
If you are playing as an actual imported 1.0 character, it's canonically you. If you're not, it is ambiguous so you can interpret it either way
what? sure it is
Nope
You came to Eorzea at the beginning of 2.0 and were not there during 1.0 events.
why do summoners have a unicorn horn as a theme?
It's a classic FF thing
In the intro cutscene, you are asked if it is your first time coming to [City] and you have the option to say no
why does thaumaturge suck so bad
yeah so you've visited before.
you can absolutely be a character who has been there before
my account says Your Registered Region "The Americas"
All classes start slow
You didn't fight Nael, you were not transported by Louisoix.
the scions don't remember you
it says that, This code has already been registered.
The backstory of your character is not established. If there is something that proves you weren't at Cartenau, let me know. But without that proof, of course you could have been there
There are many situations where 1.0 characters get special dialogue from characters who remember them.
but my account still says free trial
Bruh ||you literally talk to Louisoix in coils.||
And at the end of ARR everyone remembers you if you're a legacy character.
Minfilia and Cid already remembered you much earlier.
where do i get the endwalker accessory
Preorder
I already claimed it
If you are an 2.0 player, you remind them of the kind of hero the Warriors of Light were, but you are not them, you're just the next bearer of the torch.
It's both
Slow is an understatement
you can't not remind them of the Warrior of Light if you actually were one of them
hello. for the character creation. which skin color is closest to tanned?
If you were one of them you get recognised and remembered.
This is very clear.
It's very clear to me as well
One person being remembered doesn't mean that another is not, that's silly
either way
this really isn't the place to argue about it
if you're not a player of 1.0, you're not teleported
One is established ingame, the other is fanon.
that's end of story
Can the rathalos mount drop from a chest?
Yes but it's extremely rare
Oh nice thanks
The poogie minion and an orchestrion roll can also drop from chests.
So my friend is going to buy the game but im not exactly sure what he should buy, he just needs full access of the game till shadowbringer (not in steam). So where should he go and what should he buy?
how'd you get that earing ;-;
Are the mounts slow. I bought the fat cat but it still hasn’t showed up in my mail
if he currently owns absolutely nothing, then complete edition has everything
all mounts are the same speed
Assuming they're a PC player with a North American account: https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/564956/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download
Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure and explore with friends from around the world.The complete edition is perfect for newcomers as it includes the award-winning FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs – all in one complete package!
How much does it cost, around 70ish usd right?
60$
oh ok
$24 for me
Account-wide items like most mounts can take awhile to deliver. Relogging helps. Usually it should be under an hour.
wdym?
The cost of the fat cat mount
Green man & steam are having sales
also currently on sale on greenmangaming atm
price question was referring to buying the complete edition of the game
Oh sorry
how do i kill people in limsa
Okay, at this point I think you're just shit posting
you don't
nah just want to rp as my class
I have collected all the Aether Currents in Ill Mheg, but I still can not fly, do I need to collect every single current in the other zones?
Uh huh, whatever. Any rper knows that killing people without their permission is godmodding. You're trolling, go do that somewhere else
If you can't fly you haven't collected them
Quest ones too?
Oh, you mean the yellow ones in the current tab?
Some
Or
can give aether currents sometimes
you have to get both quest and open world currents
thats the point of RP unexpected shit
I don't think any yellow ones do it, but blue ones can
the aether current menu needs to look like this before you can fly
quest that reward aether currents are always
if they're side quests
I see, thank you, I have to complete them then
The last msq in the zone gives the. 5th one
No it's not, and any more of this talk here will be treated as trolling. Open-world PvP does not exist in this game.
Centurio seals
#glamour-discussion for links in the pins to various sites for looking at items
Level 60 DRK artifact gear is purchased from the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard with Centurio Seals.
Centurio Seals are obtained from hunts.
ok thank
Where do i even start with white crafting scripts
custom deliveries on an 80 character
use that to grab basic white scrip gear
or make tons of lemonade
I'm going to have to learn what custom deliveries are then later because I know literally nothing
where tf is ishgard
first area in the award winning heavensward
oh
You do have Hunts unlocked right?
who me
Yes, as you are the person trying to get currency from hunts
why does the wiki say its unobtainable if it is
what do you mean
Very little is unobtainable in this game
The wiki gives you the quest list so you can do hunts
Where do I pick up items I bought on MB?
They go into your inventory right away
is there a channel for character creation
Oh nvm. Found it in armory
is ffxiv gamerescape a bad site cuz it says its unobtainable
It's generally more up to date but it sometimes takes a while to load
The base version of the level 60 gear is unobtainable, the augmented version is the exact same but dyable
im leveling a dps for the first time, is it better to queue for dungeons near my level or potd?
oh was prob looking at base then
is gilgamesh still considered the largest "community + raiding" server or has it been overtaken by balmung
im lv 24 if that makes a difference
PotD spamming floors 51-60 is fastest
Though I'd wait until 30 to get your job before doing that
y am i not authorized to participate in hunts
Ehhhhhhh those old suggestions aren't really applicable anymore. Server pop has generally equalized for the most part. These days Preferred servers tend to have higher populations if there's any difference at all.
You have to do a quest to unlock them. I gave you a link that lists them all
Gilgamesh was never really legitimately a "raid" server. But Server populations nowadays are generally equalised, and individual server choice doesn't matter.
i got the quests done
What rank are you in your grand company?
Are you a high enough rank in your Grand Company?
Servers are made Preferred when their population lags a little below average, and this incentive works quickly to boost its population back up again.
Scorpion Harness from Eureka
thanks for the tips guys
You can freely visit other worlds on your datacentre with only few limitations in order to hang out with people and do open-world content. The Party Finder and the Duty Finder are both cross-server within your datacentre.
i need more 22 tactics any ideas ?
im like the first rank wtf
Level up
isn't cap ?
squadrons can level up to 60
i mean i dont have to rank up in order to level beyond that
nope
how much tactics it will gives per level
1-2 depending on the class
...
the first flagged mission is very brutal at level
you need chemistries that boost stats to meet it
otherwise, you just overlevel it
You did do the stat boosts from training right
try to shift 20 from red into yellow
lemme see if i can dig up the site that helps with trainings
from the 20-40 missions
thanks
@leaden ginkgo do a yellow training and then the triple mix, according to my site
Manage your squadron and find automatically the best combinations for the hardest missions.
no wait, i think i set the training cap too high
you can't do it with your current level, as far as i can tell
is there a way to skip the log in page while trying to download? idk why my one time passwords arent working
did you set up 2fa to your acct
i cant set up cos they say i have to have the game or something
rn i just have a free
then ignore that line
If you never set it up, then don’t type anything in the box
its an optional box
hmm idk if i want to just buy another complete edition
my previous one bought code is like they say its already used
not by me tho
weird
Did you buy it off the official store?
yea i still have the order details
do they usually take very long to get back?
is there a prefered server for EU with high pop or it dosnt matter ? also i see some legacy tag too
@leaden ginkgofrom my messing around, the lowest you need is level 42 with your current set up, along with doing a Yellow > Red/Yellow > Red > Blue > Blue/Yellow > Red/Blue/Yellow training at some point during the leveling process
Population is pretty evenly distributed and a server being 'legacy' means absolutely nothing
Legacy servers are just servers that existed back in 2010/2011 during 1.0
Is there anywhere to post LFG?
#recruitment-aether
should i wait for endwalker or just buy the complete edition?
If you don't mind being stuck at heavensward content for the next couple months, then Endwalker.

But if you want to start Endwalker content right when it comes out, then get the complete edition.
this is hard... im broke and I enjoy ff14 from free trial
you can get relic weapons at 60?
when i buy end walker do i get access to everything else?
