So

[viscid vigil]

I am getting this message a couple times per playthrough

One or more of your client settings files, which include your hotbar settings, failed to save.

[proud willow]

to prevent you from accidentally getting even further ahead

[viscid vigil]

I am already running the game as admin

[rough mason]

I’m still in heavens expansion but my dragoon lvl 68

I don’t have the other class quests is that cause they come in next expansion?

[proud willow]

yes

[rough mason]

a notification always comes up saying they’re unlocked which confused me

It’s weird tho since I have the abilities above lvl 60

[proud willow]

You will still get your 60-68 abilities without doing the quests, but you will need to do the 70 quest in Stormblood to get your 70 ability

[rough mason]

Ah

[silk burrow]

i can't click home key to go into first person view

it says i can't use it yet

[proud willow]

if you are concerned about wasting XP and you'd like to level a second class, Gunbreaker and Dancer both start at 60

so you wouldn't need to catch them up to your MSQ level, just grab them and go

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to force specific FATEs to spawn or am i stuck waiting for the specific one i need

[proud willow]

Finishing other FATEs in the area will help

[boreal storm]

By clearing out the other FATEs

[zinc orbit]

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

[bright wagon]

Do they give steam sales for entire expansions like they did now frequently? If i missed current sale is it possible to get one before the launch of expansion?

[faint flare]

Not really

[dim quarry]

how do i buy land?

like a plot

[faint flare]

These are probably the last sales before the expansion

[faint flare]

Find a empty plot and interact with the placard

And pray the invisible timer is over

[dim quarry]

how do i tell which are empty?

[faint flare]

They have a hammer icon on the map and show their price on the ward list

[dim quarry]

what does red mean?

[bright wagon]

thanks for info 🙂 so the current steam sale includes everything from start upto the next new upcoming expansion which we can get seperatlry right?

[faint flare]

Close to visits

[faint flare]

Yes it's all current content

[dim quarry]

are any of these empty?

[faint flare]

No

It clearly shows the plots price

For empty plots

[bright wagon]

😄 thanks soo much for info

[astral field]

Good luck with buying one 😄

Took me 14 hours of constant clicking 🙂 but its do able if you persist!

[upper yew]

so what is this penalty for when i missed queue pop twice coz i was in mid of cutscene

[astral field]

30 minute lockout

[faint flare]

If you get 3 you can't que for 30mins

[dim quarry]

i think theyre all taken

[upper yew]

ahh so 3 missed queues 30min penalty

[modest igloo]

welcome to housing it sucks

[dim quarry]

ohhhh

i didnt think they could sell out

i though it would 'add space' you know

[faint flare]

They're limites

[bright wagon]

is the gear progression horizontal like gw2 or vertical like wow?

[faint flare]

For actual housing

[boreal storm]

Alternatively, being the first one to ditch a duty before its completion

[modest igloo]

vertical, but no RNG

[faint flare]

Gear treadmill

[dim quarry]

what about if i just sat in the mist for an hour refreshing or something?

[faint flare]

Extremely small chance

Houses rarely open up

[dim quarry]

some FC has like 10 on this map

[faint flare]

They're different Fcs with the same tag

[high fable]

Can you get triple Triad cards from unsync dungeons? Cards are considered "drops at a fix rate" but unsync says you will not get any drops?

[faint flare]

Yes you can

[high fable]

then i am just unlucky AF 70 runs stll no card

[bright wagon]

is it a good time to start the game for first time now or better wait till new expansion?

[modest igloo]

now is perfect

you'll need to do all the story from the base game to the end of shadowbringers

[wary tartan]

Getting caught up and experiencing the expansion from the start is much more enjoyable than doing it later imo

[faint flare]

You got 5 months to catch up

Which is way more than enough

[zenith geyser]

If my friend has started subscribing can I still give him my recruitment code to get the items from it?

[bright wagon]

ooh good to know 🙇 thanks for the help everyone guess i am lucky to come into game now then
getting bored of gw2 as not much to do at end game FF14 will be my new home

[faint flare]

You give it to them after they buy the game and before paying for the first month sub

[zenith geyser]

aight thanks

[modest igloo]

im at 2000 hours and still have stuff to do

content never really goes away so there's still so much to do

[dim quarry]

how do you start an extreme solo?

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

Turn this on

[hot shuttle]

Anyone know the most efficient way to gain moonstones? This looks tough since I do not have any gathering crafting jobs

[cunning loom]

probably gc seals in that case

[faint flare]

Company seala

Just roll on everything in dungeons

And trade for seals

[hot shuttle]

Okay, that looks to be the way. Just wanted to make sure

Thanks

ty

[dusky nebula]

need help with Odin Fate like can anyone give me an estiamte when it spawns does he spawn every day? once per week? Also what does one-time password do in the launcher

[spring elk]

this may sound really funny, but is there any way to disable mouse clicking of abilities? I ask because I placed two abilities in the middle of my screen to monitor procs, but I don't want to accidentally click them when i'm moving the camera

[crisp pelican]

[junior walrus]

where can i find demon tomes?

[crisp pelican]

Graha's German voice is so odd.. in some way it's just odd..and it made me switch to English ironically

[open rivet]

around october & september, and when 6.1 releases you'll be able to get a house w/o much struggle.
b4 endwalker cuz some people pause to not get burned out b4 a new expansion,
& a new housing area releases in EW, so a lot of people will relocate, opening up spots in the old areas.

[radiant wolf]

you cant fly in ishgard and further?

[polar flint]

When can I start leveling Fishing in the Firmament?

[open rivet]

alisaie & alphinaud's german voices also sound so off, english & japanese are the better dubs compared to german fo sho.

[boreal storm]

Aether currents, don’t worry they’ll explain

[open rivet]

you need to unlock, and then gather aether currents

[crisp pelican]

Yeah true they sound a bit off

[dim quarry]

you have to find aether currents when you get some sort of compass

[crisp pelican]

I got used to those tho just not Graha xD

[junior walrus]

the german voices definitely sound a bit odd

[radiant wolf]

aah ok ty

[crisp pelican]

Some are..hella deep for no reason xD

[open rivet]

there's only a total of like 5 german VAs,
so they're kinda thin on who they can use xD

[junior walrus]

dang

[crisp pelican]

They need some new German VAs or more

[lusty bone]

Best way to get protean crystals ?

[junior walrus]

wait what are anima weapons

WHAT

I unlocked Anima weapons

idk what they are

[open rivet]

anima weapons are your relic for HW.
a customizable weapon that's the "strongest" for the expac

[crisp pelican]

Relic weapons

[faint flare]

Heavensward relics

[junior walrus]

How do I get those then 🤔

just finished the quest for it

[open rivet]

it's a chain of quests, if you finish it you get one full anima weapon

[west parrot]

Is there a way to increase the size of the text box in cutscenes?

[junior walrus]

right click on it and there should be an option

[junior walrus]

where to start then?

[open rivet]

the start is in asys lah after the initial unlock iirc.
it's just cosmetic at this point tho

[faint flare]

!faq anima

[zinc orbit]

5.1 Guide to the Anima Relic

Anima Relic Guide

[faint flare]

It's a grind

Like any relic

[modest igloo]

only 18k poetics

[open rivet]

less of a grind than ARR tho

[modest igloo]

not too bad

[west parrot]

right-clicking it just continued the dialogue

[junior walrus]

right click on the dialogue box itself

[west parrot]

I did...

[junior walrus]

thats odd

[silver bane]

Hello im new to FF14, I just beat the main quest and got the credit scene, I have 300k gil and im wondering what is the best way to invest this gil?

[jade quartz]

Honestly, as a free trial player there's not really much you can use it for.

Best option I can think of is to buy up like, some crafting materials, and save them to sell on the marketboard once you get the full game

[west parrot]

gysahl greens, dark matter, dyes

[dim quarry]

does interject not work on some mobs?

[coarse leaf]

Can I make use of free trial even after I bought complete edition or will it start using the free 30 day game time from complete edition right away?

[open rivet]

Interject only works on pulsing cast bars

[last lion]

Hey all, I'm currently 480 iLvl and need 490 to progress in MSQ. What do you recc I do to get higher gear besides Market Place?

I've never had to gear up before

[modest igloo]

eden raids floor 9-12 drop 510 gear

[gusty island]

is there any reason to do the main scenario roulette when you dont need ironworks anymore?

[modest igloo]

allegory also gives 490 gear

[still gate]

hey helper friends, I saw someone mention something about datacenter visits coming soon, is this accurate and does anyone have more info about it? like will I be able to take my NA based character and play with my wife's EU based character?

[open rivet]

they're a good source of XP & tomestones regardless.

[last lion]

Oooh allegory tomes, good call

[jade quartz]

!faq interject

[zinc orbit]

Interrupt

[last lion]

thank you 🙂

[gusty island]

oh theres more i'll need tomestones for?

[dim quarry]

so low blow is better

[jade quartz]

No

They have different uses

[open rivet]

after lv. 50 low blow will no longer work on bosses

[jade quartz]

When interject is needed, it's needed.

[crisp pelican]

It is true yes but we don't know much about it yet either

[modest igloo]

its coming soon, we are pretty sure thats how it works but we dont have many details

[crisp pelican]

But its highly to assume that's how DC travel will work

[still gate]

cool, thanks, I'll keep an eye out for patch notes and producer's letter type things

[open rivet]

lv. 60 shire gear & lv. 60 scaeven gear are bought with tomes as well,
you'll need tomes if you do relic, and other stuff you can buy there.

[tardy tangle]

what was the music used for when you first go into Haukke Manor!? that slaps so hard!

[open rivet]

"The Maiden's Lament" I guess? @tardy tangle

[tardy tangle]

got it!

[gusty island]

oof well good to know, thanks

[west parrot]

Once you start a subscription, you cannot return to the trial, it is NOT f2p, it is a trial.

[modest igloo]

poetics go all the way up to 70

[dim quarry]

so i can use lowblow only as a backup, i notice interject didnt interrupt bad breath but low blow did

[modest igloo]

and when EW comes out 80 as well

[tardy tangle]

that kind of chord progression fills the soul!

[spark jacinth]

Free trial in HW, is there a cap of how much Tomestone of Poetics?

[west parrot]

2000

[open rivet]

2000

[west parrot]

like in your currency menu, it will show #/2000

[spark jacinth]

So might as well use them up, thanks.

[modest igloo]

ah yes the appetizer for the Heavensword soundtrack

[west parrot]

Night in the Brume ❤️

[tardy tangle]

ok, now you have my attention

[midnight tinsel]

can you use the wondrous tail turn in on a crafter ?

[open rivet]

no

[midnight tinsel]

thx

[open rivet]

only on DoW & DoM (except BLU)

[dim quarry]

my limit is 2000 even though im fully paid

[open rivet]

it's 2000 regardless

[dim quarry]

oh

[safe fox]

I'm currently on the free trial Windows client. If I purchase the game on steam, will my progress transfer or will I start from scratch?

[silver bane]

I bought the game and expansions

[midnight tinsel]

@open rivetdoes the exp scale to level or could i swap to liek a lvl 35 class and turn it in ?

[dim quarry]

is the vendor in mor dhoma

[jade quartz]

then save your money

[dim quarry]

dhona*

[modest igloo]

of course, thats nothing compared to the shadowbringers soundtrack

[silver bane]

for?

[open rivet]

Free trial is the only time you can swap PC platform.
you'll be able to continue if you swap to steam, but then you're locked to steam

[jade quartz]

might wanna buy crafted gear at endgame.

[open rivet]

it's always exactly 50% of your current level, so I'd say use on your highest class so you get the most points

[jade quartz]

Also lotta new players make the mistake of blowing all their money on glamours and stuff, leaving them destitute and struggling to cover teleport fees

[midnight tinsel]

ok thx

[jade quartz]

The "gameplay relevant" uses for gil are endgame crafted gear for progression/quick catchup, and raid food/potions

Other than that it's all novelties and luxuries.

[open rivet]

housing is endgame

[jade quartz]

Glamour outfits, housing.

[worthy basin]

what's the best spot for blue memory farming for relic?

[open rivet]

Any good early game ways to level a FC (post-arr / pre hw)?
aurum/keeper are not really good to unsync farm for turn ins due to the low worth.
PvP is currently my go-to option cuz lv. 60 belts are only 500 wolf marks for 1000 seals but still kinda slow.
basically just wanna boost to 5/6

[silk burrow]

how do you zoom into first person

i can't find it in settings

the one where you use your scroll wheel

[silk burrow]

thanks

scrolled down and checked it

[tardy tangle]

where can I find screenshots again?

[leaden ginkgo]

Do oGCD heals generate enmity?

[jade quartz]

yes

[open rivet]

default for windows is C:\Users\NAME\Documents\Games\Ff14aarr\screenshots (may be in a SE subfolder idr)

[leaden ginkgo]

Are there dyable versions of the weathered weapons that you get from Geralt?

[calm otter]

is it normal to be unable to form a matched party for palace of the dead?

[open rivet]

for which floors?

[calm otter]

flr 1-10

just started on palace

[open rivet]

usually there's a few people running early floors,
maybe try a bit later to see if there's more people then.

[hasty sand]

Is PoTD good for exp grinding?

[calm otter]

i heard PoTD is good for lvling altjobs

thats why i was trying it out

[twin anvil]

Just bought the game on steam and linked it to my old square enix account in the mog station but every time i try to log in on the client it tells me invalid password even though i'm entering it all correctly. Anyone run into this/have a solution?

[wary tartan]

Did you play the game on the non-steam version before?

[twin anvil]

A trial version i think

[leaden ginkgo]

how do you get the aether here

youtube vids arent helping they just jumpcut to the location

[wary tartan]

Then you need to create a new account for steam, you cant play a non-steam acc on steam and vice-versa

[tacit river]

is it just me or is lancer a bad class

[tardy tangle]

i can't seem to find the location for screenshots

tried default, but it's not there

[wary tartan]

All classes/jobs are good

[tacit river]

ok

[wary tartan]

Lancer/dragoon can be a bit of a pain in dungeons, since they dont get their aoe until very late

[twin anvil]

Turns out im an idiot and you HAVE to use the square enix authenticator app and cant use any others

[tacit river]

what melee damage class would you recomend

[jovial quarry]

Lancer/Dragoon starts out horribly slow, I'll admit, but it is a rather complete job. It just takes a bit to get to a place where it feels fun.

[flat nebula]

Hello everyone I have an odd question
Is there someone who did a guide on what to farm to do any crafting hand jobs quest from level 0 to 80 like everything you need but from the begining, like "you need 3 Fleece to make woolen yarn and not you need 3 3 undyed woolen cloth"
I wanna know cause i'm level 70 everywhere and I need to do my quest
but I want to be able to full farm everything and not doing it step by step
Thanks for your help ❤️

[tacit river]

is rouge fun

[wary tartan]

Imo all melees are fun

Lancer is my fav tho

[drowsy maple]

tomestone of revelation, whit those you can buy the best gear for you class in shadow bringer?

[tacit river]

ok

[bright wagon]

are there any rankings or leaderboards?

[quaint urchin]

i was gonna pick spriggan

what's the best 2nd option?

prefer friendly players

not some toxic russians

[dark copper]

what happened to asmongold's ffxiv channel?

[bright wagon]

Archived to bottom

[random dune]

Have you tried Light DC?

I'd suggest Zodiark on Light 🤓

[quaint urchin]

no this is my first

[stable grail]

Light dc does not have preferred tho, atleast the last time i checked

[quaint urchin]

i wouldn't care about a preferred tbh just want friendly players

[random dune]

I believe Chaos is more non-english speaking europeans?

[glossy flare]

it's about the same

[random dune]

I could be wrong though

[glossy flare]

also

[random dune]

Ahh

[glossy flare]

!preferred light

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No preferred worlds found for light, Kupo!

[glossy flare]

nope, none on light currently

[quaint urchin]

wait really?

[glossy flare]

no

[random dune]

It's something I had heard before but yeah it may not be correct

[agile laurel]

Where's that google doc describing how every unsync content goes?

[quaint urchin]

is there like a specific server with more english users?

[glossy flare]

there is a world with a sizable german population on Light and a world with a sizable French population on Chaos

neither DC has more non english speakers

[random dune]

makes sense

[quaint urchin]

if i want more english speakers which world should i pick?

[glossy flare]

and even those "sizable populations" are probably the minority on their worlds because most people still speak english, native or not

[glossy flare]

any

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

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

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

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

Notable worlds:

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

[quaint urchin]

can i play with someone from another world?

but the same DC

[wary tartan]

Yes

[faint flare]

You play with everyone on the data centre

[charred blaze]

Can’t wait for cross dc in endwalker

[faint flare]

Testing is starting between September and November

For dc travel

[marble gale]

Hello, I'm wondering about the purchase options for expansions

1. If I buy Shadowbringers, do I get all previous expansions I need, meaning I'll be able to play all the content up until Endwalker comes out?
2. Does buying Shadowbringers come with 1 month game time?

[charred blaze]

Yes for 1 I don’t think so for 2

[hasty sand]

!status Goblin

[glossy flare]

1. Yes, but you also need the base game aka the starter edition (or just buy the complete edition for the full package)
2. the complete edition does

[zinc orbit]

Information

Goblin is currently Online
This server is currently: Preferred
Creation of New Characters Unavailable

[marble gale]

Isn't the base game free now?
So, would it be smarter to buy the complete edition (it includes Shadowbringers?)?

[glossy flare]

it's a trial, you still have to buy it to actually own it

[leaden ginkgo]

1. Shadowbringer expansion doesnt give starter edition
   Starter = base game and heavensward
   Shadowbriger = stormblood and shadowbringer

Endwalker in future contain shadowbringer and stormblood too along with said endwalker

Tldr heavensward and base game is in starter edition
Easiest to buy in shadowbringer complete edition as it contain all of them except endwalker obviously

Base game is not free
It is free trial

[hasty sand]

You become a paid sub if you do that

[glossy flare]

and yes, the complete edition includes the base game and all expansions

[hasty sand]

Enjoy the free time you get

[marble gale]

Ooooookay, I see. This is all so confusing!

[random dune]

the website does not help itself out with the sub/buying options lmao

[charred blaze]

Buying endwalker doesn’t give you ShB?

[random dune]

Nope

[marble gale]

Wait, so if I buy complete edition, will the sub time take effect immediately?

[hasty sand]

Yup

[charred blaze]

Damn, coulda got the menphina earrings on top

[glossy flare]

It does

but not until EW releases

[charred blaze]

I see

[quaint urchin]

now i'm torn between omega and moogle

why is this so hard lmao i know it doesn't matter

but i still can't pick

[bright wagon]

are there any prestige items we can work on at end game? like titles or cosmetics

[random dune]

Do you have any friends playing the game, Gross?

[marble gale]

Can't I clear base game and Heavensward content with the free game or does Heavensward start at Lv 60?

[quaint urchin]

they're in NA so i'm gonna play it alone 😦

[random dune]

aw 😦

[glossy flare]

HW starts at 50

[hasty sand]

^

[glossy flare]

so sure, you can milk the trial up to the end of HW

[stable grail]

you can always transfer to different one later down the line

[hasty sand]

Don't be me

[quaint urchin]

yeah but what's more friendly to a new player? omega or moogle for starting a new game

[sacred oracle]

is bard and dancer ok to go together? i wanna play with my friend

[marble gale]

Hypothetical scenario:
If I milk the trial and finish HW, I can just buy Shadowbringers and then wait for Endwalkers release?

[glossy flare]

no, you need the base game first

you can't redeem a ShB code without owning the base game

the trial is not the same as owning it

[hasty sand]

I bought the ce out of the gate and I paid while doing Arr and HW

[marble gale]

Okay

[meager scarab]

How long does it usually take for a full world to have free slots

[hasty sand]

Awhile

[glossy flare]

you mean for creating a new character?

[meager scarab]

Yeah

they have the xp bonus

[plush herald]

ya gotta get in super early in the morning sometimes

[glossy flare]

it's not about slots, it's about current activity on the world

so try at off hours

[sacred oracle]

10-15 mins, keep refreshing

i dont know i got mine after few refresh

[meager scarab]

Ok thanks everyone

[marble gale]

So, buying the Complete Edition and then Endwalker on release would be the way to go if I want full content/value?

[hoary veldt]

I had to wait till very late at night to get a free slot

[marble gale]

Seeing as the Complete Edition gives me a free month of sub

[hasty sand]

Do the free trial firsy

[leaden ginkgo]

Trial is playing a game you dont own
But you play said game + 1st expansion fully with some restriction but otheriwise you play a game you dont own
You still need base game basically

[glossy flare]

yes, though I would suggest milking the trial for all its worth first

[hasty sand]

And wait for a sale for CE

[random dune]

TBH the only time you should prob get complete edition before completing HW is to get it whilst it's on sale. I bought complete edition at like £25 instead of what it is usually.

[hasty sand]

^

[leaden ginkgo]

Cypher suggestion is very valid
I milk 2 month worth of free trial

[calm otter]

should I use partyfinder to find someone to go PoTD with?

[hoary veldt]

CE is on sale for 14

[split marlin]

Is it worth creating a character not on a preference world? I wanna be on EU but right now the preferred worlds aren't allowing character creation. Does that usually go away in a day or two? I'm ok waiting a little. But if it won't allow creation for more than a few days should I just create on a different world?

[hoary veldt]

atm

at greenmangaming

[glossy flare]

it's not a huge deal if you're not on a preferred world

[faint flare]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[glossy flare]

the main story keeps you leveled regardless

[faint flare]

It's lifted when people aren't online

So late at night/early morning

[spiral inlet]

I was told undentified ore can be traded for top soil?

[faint flare]

The buff isn't a mandatory thing, helps for alt jobs

[meager scarab]

how much does it cost for all the dlc races

[faint flare]

The price for Shadowbringers

[meager scarab]

its like 30$ ?

[faint flare]

Cause you need to buy shadowbringers to get viera/hrothgar

[split marlin]

Ah! So if I just wait until late at night I should be able to create on preferred?

[hasty sand]

Comes with the expaxs

[faint flare]

$40 outside the sales

Is the standard expansion price

[meager scarab]

bro 40$ for bunny ears

[bright wagon]

in my place thanks to sale the complete game is like around 15$

[faint flare]

It's not just the races

[hasty sand]

Wait for a sale tbh

[faint flare]

It's the entire expansion

It's on sale on steam and Green Man gaming

[astral edge]

can free trial use PF

[faint flare]

Make, no...join a PF yes

[leaden ginkgo]

That comes with entire story
5 regions

i only care about viera

[leaden ginkgo]

It isnt sold seperately basically ,-,

[astral edge]

how can i tell what party in the PF is for akh afah amphitheatre when all i can see rn is complicated terminology and literal ads

[faint flare]

Cause it says the instance name

[agile laurel]

Common sense. Look for the instance name

[astral edge]

oh right

ig no parties

cause its either levelling roulette, ads, or Locked Duty

ive been waiting for 12 mins and have 3 dps (inc. me) and 1 tank

[marble gale]

Thank you all for the help. It was very confusing to navigate the website!

[astral edge]

and a dps dropped out

[west parrot]

Is there a way you can get to the top of El Coloso in the gold saucer?

[vast zodiac]

Quick question, on the Duty Finder, does it auto match you or do you still have to invite the party yourself?

[jovial quarry]

One of the gate events has you climb it to rescue a chocobo chick

[oak ice]

Duty finder matches you with players

[jovial quarry]

Duty finder is auto matchmaking

[west parrot]

oooo

[calm otter]

Do you know how long it takes for duty finder in PoTD flr 1-10?

Is there a site where i can find FC recruitment posts other then here in the discord?

[sudden wolf]

Can I ask for Kupo bot help in here

[wheat plume]

I just unlocked Leviathan Unreal, how do I get the other unreals?

[vivid summit]

Is there any point to keep gil on the retainer?

[little swift]

Leviathan unreal is the only unreal out on rotation right now. You can't access the other ones

[little swift]

Preference

[little swift]

You can, but the dedicated kupobot support discord might work better for you

[jovial quarry]

There is only one Unreal trial active at at given time. They swap them out with every major patch. Shiva and Titan Unreals are out of rotation. They may come back later? For now it’s Leviathan until expansion.

[wheat plume]

Thanks. Is there a schedule for future rotations? Or any info regarding that?

[little swift]

No schedule they just hint at what's next in the live letters

[wheat plume]

thxs

[little swift]

Levi unreal will be around until 6.0 probably

[wheat plume]

Live letters during stream are only in japanese or are they translatted/subbed ?

[sudden wolf]

Japanese only

We translate it in this discord though

[little swift]

#translations-and-liveletters

For live translations from our team

[kind cosmos]

I'm almost at the 300.000gil cap from free trial. whats a good thing to invest my money till i buy the game?

[sudden wolf]

There is only special events where they translate like fanfest or e3

Glamours you like

[wheat plume]

nice

[sudden wolf]

There’s a live letter this week so don’t miss out

[wheat plume]

do you know if there is anyone who translates talking in video during the official stream?

[faint flare]

It's a digest of 6.0 info so temper expectations

[sudden wolf]

No official translation so you will have to come here

[faint flare]

JP only, no translator

[sudden wolf]

It’s apart of the 14 hour broadcast so it’s all gonna be JP only

[wheat plume]

yeah, I'm talking about non official

[faint flare]

Iluna will always be here to translate

In #translations-and-liveletters

[wheat plume]

in video?

[sudden wolf]

I guess you could watch someone like mr happy he streams the live letter

But no one does video translations

[faint flare]

Mr happy will basically be restreaming the stream with ilunas translations on the side

[wheat plume]

nice, and he does that during the official stream, or later?

[sudden wolf]

During

[wheat plume]

great, thxs

Guys whats the best way to do the quest for want of a memory killing mobs in bozja or doing fates in heavensward zones?

or zodnar

[viscid scroll]

hey all quick question about endwalker preorder here

[faint flare]

Bojza

[viscid scroll]

if I bought endwalker and registered the code that came with it, and now have a tick in the endwalker early access

does that mean i own endwalker alrdy?

[faint flare]

Zadnor doesn't drop any of the original things

[faint flare]

No, the actual proper code comes later

You have early access ownership

[viscid scroll]

ahhhh ok

so i need to look out for another code

which will come through the store as well?

[faint flare]

It's given during early access

Yes, same source as where you brought it

[viscid scroll]

i see got it, so its the 23rd November date

[faint flare]

Near there Yes you'll receive it

[quaint urchin]

how can i get rid of this?

[viscid scroll]

gotcha thanks!

[quaint urchin]

it's covering my quests

[faint flare]

No

[viscid scroll]

through the UI adjustment menu

[faint flare]

It's your job gauge

[viscid scroll]

you don't want to get rid of it , but you can move it

[faint flare]

You can only move and shrink it

You CANT remove it

It's extremely important

[dim jetty]

Hi guys, do u know why the Calamity salvage has nothing to sell for me ? I've purchased the samuraï lvl 50 a day ago but now nothing for any jobs

[hoary veldt]

!mount

[zinc orbit]

Command Error!

Command is missing argument: mount: str. If you need help please use !help <command>

[west parrot]

calamtiy salvager is for when you accidentally discard quest items and stuff

so if you haven't done other quests which give you important items

[quaint urchin]

ok and another question is there a marker for these quests on the map?

[west parrot]

it wont show anything there

[dim jetty]

Ooooooh, but they said to go here to use my silver chocobo things in the website

[quaint urchin]

as in where i should go to do the quest and stuff

Quests are marked on the map. If it's in a different zone the quest icon will be next to that zone transition

[hoary veldt]

yea ty just hit lvl 20 so trying to find the quest for it

[faint flare]

STORY level 20

Your level means nothing

[dim jetty]

So, to be clear, to use my silver chocobo feather, I have to go to the Calamity salvager?

[faint flare]

It will be shown under the main scenario tracker when mounts are available

After you join a grand company

[faint flare]

Yes

It's like the Deal in Spoils menu

ooohh ok i'm only on lvl 14 then

[leaden ginkgo]

why is the map so confusing

[bright wagon]

are there any prestige items we can work on at end game? like titles or cosmetics that we need to work hard to get

[random girder]

you get titles for beating ultimate raids, titles for doing raids with a full party of blue mages

[warm snow]

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

[cosmic echo]

Heya, I accidentally didn't pick the right gear from the boxes you get from quests. Is there a way to buy ilvl 200 gear somewhere so I can play my dancer again in dungeons?

[faint flare]

I270 gear in Idyllshire/ishgard sundry splendor for poetics

And your dancer starting gear is like i255

Just need some accessories and belt

[midnight tinsel]

on the firmament levleing for crafters
do you do every crafter equally
or go 1 by 1 ?

[cosmic echo]

Oh, because my dancer is currently sitting at ilvl 181, but I shall try ishgard. Thanks @faint flare !

[midnight laurel]

Hey, does anyone know if when you pre-order Endwalker you get a months game time?

[faint flare]

No

Expansion never give game time

[autumn jetty]

you do get a sweet earring, tho

Thought so, just checking

Cheers

[terse hare]

Hi, is it possible to buy stuff in the marketboard on a different realm?

[echo lintel]

hey guys, doesnt anyone know how to solve the i2501 issue

[winged fossil]

Hi all. I’ve begun crafting/gathering, to give it a try. How are you supposed to manage all your gear? I have every job readied and my armoury chest is full, and I don’t know how I’m going to fit all the other craft\gather gear in there. Let alone all the materials I’m gathering… What do I do with all those?

[echo lintel]

im not from the states i think its my ip issue, but i tried to reach to to SE's customer service but no respond from them :(

[faint flare]

Yes you can buy off other world's market board

[terse hare]

@faint flarethank you, i really wanted the velvet himation set, but its too expensive for me right now. Ill try to check the other realms if there are cheaper ones=)

[fresh dagger]

I have to do a fate for a beast tribe quest, is there any way to trigger it, or do I have to go to another world and hope its up there

[midnight tinsel]

@winged fossil all crafters and all gatherers share gear except weapon

[winged fossil]

Oh phew okay

Thank you

[midnight tinsel]

@winged fossil thats why people usually recomend levleing them all equally

so that you only ever need like 2 gear sets

[quaint urchin]

when do i get to buy clothes/armor for my character?

i'm level 4

is it too early for that?

[autumn jetty]

yeah, too early, just keep plugging away at MSQ

You'll get plenty of gear. do the novice training at 15, too

[honest tusk]

Heyho does anyone know how I can visit houses

To like look at them

[autumn jetty]

idk much about housing, but there are districts you can visit. Lavender Beds and the like

[faint flare]

Go to the housing ward

And walk up to the house and enter it via the front door

Houses marked as red in the ward list are closed to visitors

[leaden ginkgo]

How’s MP management on DRK?

[faint flare]

At its core it's literally just "keep 3k for TBN, spend the rest whenever (preferably under buffs)"

[echo lintel]

anyone can help me with this? :(

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay that doesn’t sound too bad. I’m split between that, WAR, or GNB as my next tank

[winged fossil]

Gotcha. I'm a culinarian now too lol. In-game, how are you sup[posed to find all the things you need? Like I have to make a grilled trout, but where do I get trout from, particularly if I'm not a fisherman yet.

[midnight tinsel]

iirc theres a fishmonger in limsa

you can buy the trout there

and past that yes gather the mats yourself

[drowsy maple]

what tank do use a shiled?

[midnight tinsel]

paladin

[stable grail]

are there gear items, that show actual materia being melded on it?

like visual representation of gear item having materia on it

[faint flare]

No

[drowsy maple]

I cant se any palain named as tank 😮

[faint flare]

Paladins are tanks

[drowsy maple]

yean but I cant see the class

[midnight tinsel]

gladiator

[faint flare]

It's gladiator upgrade

[drowsy maple]

4 tansk and no one named

[midnight tinsel]

becomes paladin at 30

[drowsy maple]

oh okey ty ^^

[hollow hull]

there is no way using just steam to log into the game? as in i need to use SE account as well

[midnight tinsel]

so people usually use the end name

not the start name to describe classes

[reef quiver]

Is the ultimate legend title hard to get?

[faint flare]

Yes

Cause it requires clearing an ultimate

[boreal storm]

And they are the hardest thing in game

[drowsy maple]

Do I get a little one house to my self ? not likethe plot ones but something you have on your own you get by doing the campign for exmaple?

[faint flare]

Ultimates take over hundreds of hours to clear with a static

[copper thistle]

how do i get max ilvl

[boreal storm]

Play the game

[faint flare]

Augmented cryptlurker and Edenmorn gear

With relic weapon

[copper hound]

can you actually sell all the gear you are getting from the msq on the market board? ive been vendoring when my bags get full and might have thrown away a lot of gil

^^

Quick account question, if I create my ffxiv account on steam, will I be able to later buy the non-Steam version of the game if I want to leave the steam platform or is my ffxiv account locked to my steam account then?

[faint flare]

Change your log filters in chat settings

[faint flare]

No once you touch steam you're locked to it forever on that account

[copper thistle]

can i do that stuff before finishing shadowbringer

[faint flare]

No

[random dune]

I can't find settings to hide the exp drops n stuffs

[dry vine]

Also no option to play on ps4 for example then?

With the same account

[faint flare]

You can use ps4 on the same account

[random dune]

OH found it

dw about me

[faint flare]

Need to buy in there as well

[random dune]

[weak granite]

me and my friend started playing the free version but we cannot make a party ,we try to ask people to create a party for us but no one can anybody help?

[peak night]

do the breach coins still have a weekly cap or did they remove it in the newest patch?

[faint flare]

Locked

[copper thistle]

can i change running animation

[faint flare]

No. It's race and gender specific

[random dune]

If my retainer is selling in Ul'dah, will the items only appear in Ul'dah?

[faint flare]

No

[random dune]

So that's just kinda flavour text?

[faint flare]

It's for taxes

Which aren't a big thing

[random dune]

ahhh

[copper thistle]

please tell me there isnt post shadowbringer msq i gotta do

[valid mason]

As a first timer should i be worried about waiting for Gilgamesh to open up? I just will eventually be interested in the raiding and stuff i assume so i figured i'd try to place myself there

[boreal storm]

Of course there is

[vast temple]

you can raid with anyone in aether (including gilg)if you're on a world in aether

[copper thistle]

how do i skip shadowbringer msq

[vast temple]

@copper thistle you can't

[valid mason]

thank you ❤️

[copper thistle]

why

[plush hound]

The account System gives the platforms of Windows, PS4/PS5, and Mac, For the time being PS4/PS5 is shared though I imagine that will be split later on and you'll need on for each (maybe). Windows however covers both Steam and Retail versions but they're considered separate. So it's either/or and once you choose one, you're locked out of the other option for Windows. PS platform and Mac platform are still open to you, provide you purchase a registration for the platform of your choice.

[plush hound]

ShB is the latest expansion and the devs want you to experience it instead of rushing to the end.

[silent raft]

Do the Grand Company Quests matter?

Like, does it matter who I join or

[boreal storm]

No, only differences are aesthetic

[copper thistle]

isnt that kind of rude if theyre forcing content that i dont want to do

[faint flare]

It's a story based game

[midnight tinsel]

they arent forcing you

if you dont wanna play it

[cunning loom]

maelstrom's glamour looks the best, ul'dah and gridania's gc areas are close to the main aetheryte

[midnight tinsel]

then dont play it

[faint flare]

Just skip the cutscenes or don't play

[cunning loom]

those are just about the only differences

[silent raft]

Fair enough, thanks

[timber vigil]

Hello everyone! Is it possible to hire other players for guidance throughout the game? Like they play along side you and help with navigation and any questions you have a long the way, basically handholding. Is that a thing? 🙂

[cunning loom]

it might be easier to just go solo, hit a wall and ask here

[midnight tinsel]

^

seeing as how even arr + ehavensward is around 200 hours of gametime

[cunning loom]

the game's meant to be pretty intuitive from the get-go

[copper thistle]

nothing else to play i am here

[viral wedge]

uhm hello im a new player and i wanna play samurai.. what would be a good starting class to use and get to 50?

[cunning loom]

i'd say MNK

just because it shares gear with SAM

[viral wedge]

mnk?

[midnight tinsel]

speedwise arcanist

[faint flare]

Any but a melee dps would be nice

[cunning loom]

otherwise go with whatever is cool

[random dune]

Any, Helial. any Melee dps will help you understand positionals eventually anyway

[timber vigil]

So I guess there isn’t anything like that?

[faint flare]

To learn about melee jovs

[viral wedge]

sorry mnk is?

[random dune]

Monk (Pugilist) has most positionals

[viral wedge]

oh ok ok

[midnight tinsel]

@timber vigil i mean if you pay people money to play with you surely youll find someone

[viral wedge]

oh so any melee class would be good but mnk is better cuz is shares the same gears?

[midnight tinsel]

or you know

make friends

[plush hound]

This game's primary draw is the story. If that's not your interest than this might not be the game for you.

[cunning loom]

it's not really that important to share gear since SAM starts at 50

it'll just be a little convenient and save you a tiny bit of resources

[timber vigil]

Yeah that’s what I’d like @midnight tinsel is there a site or anything like that please?

[cunning loom]

but what matters more is if you like the class or not

[midnight tinsel]

i dont think stuff like that is advertised here

[viral wedge]

ok ok thanks!

[copper thistle]

if i wanted story i wouldnt be playing an mmorpg @plush hound

[timber vigil]

Should I go to Reddit? @midnight tinsel

[midnight tinsel]

no idea

why not try playing

[viral wedge]

whats would be a beginner friendly starter melee class then?

[midnight tinsel]

and join a fc

[boreal storm]

It’s a final fantasy dude

[pastel fern]

I've been trying to find the name of this OST for so long. Would anyone know which one it is?

[cunning loom]

i wouldn't go to reddit to hire a ffxiv mentor

[midnight tinsel]

@viral wedge lancer ?

[timber vigil]

I’m not sure how

I’ll find something. Thank you for the help

[viral wedge]

ok ok thanks!

[midnight tinsel]

@timber vigil i mean what is the problem with just startign the game ?

i can give you a guide on what to do that explains everything

if you want

@timber vigilhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0yATJZ3TOo&list=PLoXER4idrFLb18agFWRWHbuU5tqrw_AcA

this is really good

[timber vigil]

@midnight tinsel there isn’t one, I was just wondering if I could hire someone to play alongside me and guide me. I don’t know anyone

[copper thistle]

and @boreal storm

[golden jewel]

quick question: i started the trial by downloading the launcher from square enix 2 days ago and am really liking the game so far, do i have all the DLCs if i just buy the "complete" edition - and if i buy it on steam, can i still log in with my current account and continue from there?

[faint flare]

Yes

[plush hound]

Then I'm not sure how to help you. This game is a story-driven game first, MMO second. If you're looking for a MMO that is not story-based, you won't find it with FFXIV.

[golden jewel]

that is nice, thank you

[faint flare]

If you're on trial you can swap over

[golden jewel]

yeah, but from the square enix launcher to steam, i just wondered if that worked

by googling i just find old reddit threads from 2018 or even older

just dont want to lose the progress so far, enjoying the game around lvl30 atm

[plush hound]

You might be better suited to joining a sprout friendly Free Company, this game's equivalent to guilds. That way you can ask for help when you need it.

[copper thistle]

dude i didnt ask @plush hound

[midnight tinsel]

@copper thistlei mean we answered you skip the cutscenes or leave the game seem to be your options

[timber vigil]

Thank you @plush hound

[stable wyvern]

Where do i gotta go to farm iron ore?

I realy dont wanna pay 18 per ore from the vendor

[faint flare]

Gather with miner

[stable wyvern]

Well yea

i got miner

[faint flare]

Check your gathering log

[stable wyvern]

havent mined it yet

[faint flare]

It lists locations

[random dune]

You can also click location and it will put a circle on your map where you can find it

[stable wyvern]

Oh well i be damned

alright

[plush hound]

Yw. Keep in mind this game is solo-friendly. Outside of mandated group content you can solo play easily enough. That, combined with all the options available for information and support to play should solve your issue without having to hire someone to carry you.

[hollow hull]

hmm how can i remove OTP ? as i think this account i changed phones etc

[faint flare]

You were given a emergency removal code

Hope you wrote it down

[plush hound]

Otherwise contact SE support and hope they can help you out.

[hollow hull]

@faint flare its been 10 years so not really

and changed countries

[faint flare]

Then probably have to contact support

[hollow hull]

was there an official OTP app for ffxiv? on android

since i cant see the code in any of my currently in use ones

[faint flare]

I believe there was an app for it...they did recently expand otp to allow other, more normal authenticatiors

[gritty oracle]

Would 60-ish Lakeland fates see me to lv73 or so? Assuming I have the memphina earring and food buff up

[celest coral]

Squadron training. What exactly does comprehensive training do? I've read it just gives them XP (helps them level faster?), but no actual stat boost?

[faint flare]

Yes

Just xp

[boreal storm]

It’s there so you don’t mess up your current stat boosts

[celest coral]

What's the benefit there if it's just their level?

[faint flare]

Higher level, more stats they have

[plush hound]

It does give stat increases, just not modifications.

[celest coral]

So it just ups the base stat?

Ah okay

So should I be doing 2 comprehensive + 1 specialized trainin ahead of each daily mish?

[boreal storm]

Do whatever training you need to clear a mission

[celest coral]

kk

[mental garnet]

i'm killing level 79 cubus in the tempest to get chocobo xp - are there any higher level mobs in the overworld that give more xp?

[cunning loom]

wanna hear a trick?

do a low level fate as BLU or something

murder enemies by the dozens

oh if you're actually levelling the chocobo instead of just the challenge log chocobo entry, then yeah cubus is best

[mental garnet]

yeah

[cunning loom]

paired with stabling and training every hour i guess

[gritty oracle]

I recommend either fate farming (you could combine it with a relic grind of any kind or shared fates) or doing map parties. You can also feed the chocobo iirc 12 Curiel Roots to give it XP affinity

[cunning loom]

yeah it's a good idea to do something else alongside just chocobo exp grinding

[mental garnet]

i'll feed it the curiel roots

[glass oxide]

The fates in Lakeland are all level 71

[mental garnet]

but the lower level fates probably don't give 6150 xp per mob

[glass oxide]

But yes you can level up if you want

Just will take a while

[mental garnet]

i've already gotten all the anima weapons i want

[gritty oracle]

I mean, would the fates grant enough XP to get me to lv73 so I can move on to Il Mheg

[cunning loom]

you could do FATES and also your wondrous tails + duty roulette

that should get you to 73 pretty fast

[glass oxide]

Each fate gives 225k

[plush hound]

Eventually, how many it will take varies.

[hollow hull]

i need the free trial client for new acc before being able to use it via steam?

[glass oxide]

Depends on your exp bonus

[plush hound]

No, just create an account on the SE site and use your code on the mogstation.

[gritty oracle]

I just want shared fate grinding not to feel like a complete waste of time

[hollow hull]

hmm where do i get the free trial code?

[faint flare]

No such thing

[plush hound]

IF you purchased it on Steam it will show up there.

[random saffron]

would spamming the praetorium or sastasha (hard) to farm poetics be a good idea? I'm lvl 53 so I probably don't have better options anyway

[hollow hull]

@plush hound i kinda have case of i already owned the game from years ago, and i am thinking of just starting fresh with new acc

[faint flare]

Go unlock the other hard mode dungeons and do those for the first time bonuses

[random saffron]

Oh right, I can do that

Ah, and you want to use the demo until you can't go further?

[hollow hull]

yeah

since i need to wait for support about old account OTP, i may as well try it now.. to see if i can put the aesthetical distaste aside and enjoy the game

[plush hound]

Hit up https://store.steampowered.com/app/312060/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Online_Free_Trial/

[hollow hull]

tho i will probably play on my old steam acc if i can

as it has digital CE of ARR and preorder stuff from HW

but not sure how Square is with out of office hours email support

Says hte trial is already installed

[plush hound]

Then you might be out of luck on that front and either do the demo through the retail route or just wait for a resolution on your issue.

[hoary veldt]

I couldn't download the trial either

but i already had the launcher since i didn't delete

[hollow hull]

i havent had the standalone launcher in years since new pc etc

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/fd7m1j/cant_log_into_free_trial_xiv/fjgnix8/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3 found this

[hoary veldt]

Yea i think you could make a new account

than log in with ur old one after you download it

but no idea how it'd work with steam

[hollow hull]

yeah i made a new acc, waiting for square to repond about removing OTP

[stray mason]

just wondering is there some settting to lock the map to only drag to the edge not past it where the window becomes transparent

[sacred oracle]

how to fly the chocobo

[stray mason]

?

[cunning loom]

get to heavensward

[sacred oracle]

im lv30 can i go yet?

[cunning loom]

no

do more MSQs

[faint flare]

You get arr flying after doing praeotirum at 50

[robust magnet]

Is there a macro command to swap game from Mouse and Controller setup?

[sacred oracle]

i see ty

[hollow hull]

ah i can just get the key from square store so that should work

[deep zinc]

I need level 5 hand piece but cant find any in quests or such (so I can do the story quest)

where can I buy one

[gritty oracle]

In character config, in the top left corner, there's a switch you can flip.

[faint flare]

You only need a hat for that quest

[gritty oracle]

Iirc there's a vendor right next to the quest objective NPC.

[deep zinc]

really??

[faint flare]

Your starting gear Is item level 5

[robust magnet]

Yeah I know of the manual method, but was hoping to attach it to my crafting and gathering class macros

[deep zinc]

no its level 1

[faint flare]

You only need a hay

[boreal storm]

Also job quest let you grab one

[hollow hull]

nvm no trial key there

[faint flare]

ITEM LEVEL

Not level

The npc asked explicitly for item level 5 equipment

Not lv5 equipment

[deep zinc]

yes, my hand piece is item level 1

[faint flare]

You only need to buy a hat

That's impossible

Your racial starting gear is item level 5

Pretty item level 1 gear doesn't even exist

Outside of maybe glam

[deep zinc]

let me show u

[plush hound]

Only Glam stuff is ilvl 1 iirc.

[faint flare]

Item level is different than equipment level

[robust magnet]

there is a merchant in Gridania not far from the crystal which will sell race gear, idk where they are in other cities.

[deep zinc]

(screen is like that because of a program called iris lol)

[faint flare]

Item level 5

Says right there

[robust magnet]

holy orange.

[deep zinc]

oh

xD

[faint flare]

Above the All classes

[deep zinc]

I was reading Lv. 1

oops

#WoWer

[faint flare]

That's why I stressed ITEM LEVEL

[robust magnet]

And yeah, that's LEVEL 1, ITEM LEVEL 5.
The "LEVEL" refers to YOUR level.

[deep zinc]

hides with shame

[plush hound]

That is the required level to uses it.

[deep zinc]

it relaxing to my eyes!!

[faint flare]

F.lux is nice

Though yeah too orange for me

[robust magnet]

nothin' wrong with that.
Can't say I gone that far orange before lol.

[deep zinc]

idk why it shows that orange

its not that orange

very weird software

[faint flare]

Probably cause it's the raw thing

[deep zinc]

could be

[robust magnet]

my screenshots tend to be super dark cuz of f.lux lol

But anyway,
So no macro commands for controller/mouse swap?

[faint flare]

No afaik

[robust magnet]

rip

[deep zinc]

me?

[robust magnet]

nah just askin' in general.

would love to be able to assign to my classes so I don't got to swap it

[thin meadow]

Hey i started lvling my first healer and is there a way to make a hotkey so you selected the lowest party member ?

[faint flare]

No

[robust magnet]

Lowest HP? No.

[thin meadow]

[obtuse plaza]

I had a level 34 smn and I want to skip ARR MSQ since I did it before on an old account. Now I'd like to play Ast. Can I buy the ARR MSQ skip from the store and take my level 34 smn into ishgard to unlock the Ast? Or do I need to level my smn to level 50 first?

[modest igloo]

gotta lvl it to 50

[faint flare]

Need lv50

[obtuse plaza]

i cri

[modest igloo]

AST starts at 30

MSQ gives you the xp you need to unlock it so thats why its set up that way

[obtuse plaza]

and there's no level 50 boosts right?

i don't want to skip all the way to 70

[faint flare]

Nope

Hitting 50 from 34 isn't hard

Daily roulettes and then dungeon spam it up

[obtuse plaza]

thanks for the help

[golden jewel]

is there a reason why steam sells the complete edition in a pack with the shadowbringers expansion? isnt shadowbringers already included in the complete edition?

[faint flare]

Complete edition is basically a bundle

Of starter + shadowbringers

It's just how steam shows it

[patent viper]

I started Dragoon Job how do i level him fast im atm lvl 5? my samurai is lvl 61

[boreal storm]

Starter plus latest expansion = complete

[deep zinc]

im still on trial :c

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[golden jewel]

ah i see, so its basically for the starter, not for the complete edition

complete edition is 17,26€ on steam, i take it thats a good deal

instead of 45€

[faint flare]

Yes

Probably the last sale before endwalker

[golden jewel]

endwalker is 35€

[plush hound]

Might be a fall sale, but it might not be as good of an offer.

[golden jewel]

yeah im still a bit undecided if i wanna buy on steam :/

because im currently on the ES launcher

with the trial

[faint flare]

Green Man gaming has it on sale as eell

For a non steam alternative

And I think they have endwalker preorder on sale as well

Not sure if that's ended

[boreal storm]

Like 10% off endwalker preorder

[golden jewel]

money isnt the biggest deal for me, i would just like to not lose the progress of my trial 😛

[boreal storm]

You won’t

[golden jewel]

im a super casual

ok so that really is all account bound then, and i can just redownload on steam and log in there with my account then, then continue from where i stopped

[plush hound]

Yup, just once you've picked one paid option for windows, the other is locked out to you.

[foggy abyss]

So with every patch there is additional content right? Are the patches better compared to WoW? Do they add more additional stuff in those patches? (Am at heavensward patches now and there is a lot of main quest stories)

[golden jewel]

ok thanks a lot again, i was a bit worried there

[faint flare]

Patches always add new content

Every patch adds new story

[boreal storm]

The patches up to x.55 add story for expansion

[plush hound]

.X patches usually include more story, a dungeon (or more), a raid, plus some additional minor stuff.

[faint flare]

Major even patches add new raids and new gear

[foggy abyss]

But outside of that, the story bits

Ah, cool.

[faint flare]

Major odd patches are the "catch up" with 24mans and other side content

[foggy abyss]

Fair, thank you for the information guys!

[faint flare]

The pattern is pretty forumalic

[foggy abyss]

How would you compare it to WoW if possible?

[faint flare]

Cause it works

[urban sedge]

How do I find my retainers? Apparently I've completed the quest.. but I can't hire a retainer

[bold dirge]

I play on Light data center and my friends play on Chaos data center, can i somehow transfer my character to another DC??

[faint flare]

Hire them via retainer vocates

Then access via summoning bell

[wintry chasm]

Go to a retainer vocate to hire retainers. Then you go to a summoning bell to interact with them

note: free trial users don't get retainers

[faint flare]

Home.world transfer on mogstation

$18

[golden jewel]

also, you cant use retainers in the trial right?

[boreal storm]

No

[faint flare]

Nope

[urban sedge]

Right but the option to hire wasn't there

and the bell said I had no retainers :S

[viral wedge]

uhmm question new player here i tried to create a character in tonberry since that was suggested for enligh speaking players in SEA but it says congested and cant create a new char there.. i googled and it said that i might not open for new chars anytime soon..? is that true..? if it is do we have any other servers i can play on with english players in sea..?

[faint flare]

Are you trial

Cause trial can't use retainers

[wintry chasm]

!status Tonberry

[urban sedge]

No I have the full game

[zinc orbit]

Information

Tonberry is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard
Creation of New Characters Unavailable

[golden jewel]

hah i knew something

[wintry chasm]

Tonberry isn't congested

[faint flare]

Then Retainer vocates will let you hire them

[wintry chasm]

It's just unavailable due to the amount of people logged in at once

Either try at a less busy time/keep pressing it or try Kujata which is the second big English server

[modest igloo]

for referance, 5.4 in december introduced a new raid tier and extreme trial and MSQ, 5.45 in feburaryintrodcued a continuation of the relic weapons and a new bozjan raid, as well as updated blue mage, 5.5 in april gave more MSQ, extreme trial, and allaince raid, and 5.55 in may finished shadwobringers MSQ and added a whole new area and raid called Zadnor

[viral wedge]

thank you! ill wait it out for now then and if not ill play in kujata

[foggy abyss]

How often do these patches come out?

[modest igloo]

just updated that

[foggy abyss]

So how many patches in a year ish? Thank you btw for taking your time in answering me

[urban sedge]

@faint flare Cheers it wasn't available at the Crysta city.. How to go to Ul'dah

[plush hound]

The patches tend to be more consistent (3 months on average) but you know the basics of what you're going to get so it's less likely to surprise you.

[foggy abyss]

Are there any seasonal events?

[boreal storm]

Yep

[modest igloo]

covid kinda threw things outta wack, so endwalker got delayed, but its effectively 6 patches over the course of 2 ish years

omg i forgot about ultimates

[plush hound]

Yup. quite a few. We're in a quiet period right now but there's a couple gearing up in August.

[wintry chasm]

^ the time between X.0 and X.1 is the longest wait usually

[foggy abyss]

Hehe im glad for the time, I can catch up with yall

So how long did you wait for the last last patch now

[modest igloo]

those are super hard raids that require a ton of skill to complete and remain hard but offer kickass weapons

[bold dirge]

And when i change home server, do i risk loosing anything? Should i make backup or anything?

[faint flare]

We have all the content patches until endwalker. Typically major patches come every 3 months or so

Baring covid shit

[boreal storm]

One for the major holidays, some for the changing of seasons. COVID hit the event schedule hard last year

[alpine shadow]

you risk loosing your housing and fc

[plush hound]

This is going to be said to you a lot so get used to it: Don't rush. Enjoy the game at your own pace. Nothing is really outlevelled and we'll all be here for when you hit cap.

[wintry chasm]

Well X.5 patches are split into two halfs soooo

[faint flare]

You have to physically give it up to transfer

[bold dirge]

Thats fine, dont have one, but like msq progression and lvls and retairners i can keep

[alpine shadow]

and possible your friends

yes

[foggy abyss]

Yeah hehe, I'm taking it slow! I started the journey 2 weeks ago or three I think?

[faint flare]

Btw there is a schedule in the pins

For upcoming stuff

[foggy abyss]

Oh xD

[faint flare]

Until endwalker

[alpine shadow]

when you transfer , you move over your character with all your progress and stuff

[bold dirge]

Ok, i just wanted to be sure, thank you so much!! ❤️

[foggy abyss]

Thank you guys 🙂

[fading aurora]

[alpine shadow]
