questions-and-help

[sick briar]

yes I understand that, but thats a bit vague

[faint flare]

Mentors are just for inviting people to novice network

[modest igloo]

no thats literally it, thats the difference

all of them are mostly the same

[faint flare]

Which is basically this but ingame

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[hazy mason]

Power Tripped in the middle of the download

And since then it gave this

[leaden ginkgo]

try delete all files?

[steady gate]

you couldnt find any forum reply on that error?

[hazy mason]

Yes

[hazy mason]

I did everything listed. Nothing worked

[steady gate]

try to check the steam foruns themselves

[hazy mason]

I have.

[leaden ginkgo]

send a ticket while u wait maybe

[steady gate]

cant be you`re the one with this issue

[hazy mason]

Hence I came here haha

[stray dawn]

so lv 80 MSQ exp is just going to waste? no such thing as exp-share?

[steady gate]

so youre using the bought version then

[modest igloo]

lvl 80 msq gives no xp

[steady gate]

and have you paid the subscription?

[stray dawn]

oh interesting, at lv 79's atm

[hazy mason]

Yes

[modest igloo]

yeah, its like how you got little xp from post arr quests

[hazy mason]

Also registered it in the mog store

[steady gate]

I am stumped. no clue what your issue might be

[flint pollen]

? is there any reason support on the phone is not answering ???

i spent an hour and no one picked up

[cunning loom]

we aren't square

[flint pollen]

just wonder if any one has an idea

[stray dawn]

what issue you're having?

[flint pollen]

well im trying to get biliing and now tech since i had to hang up to answer some one that is very impatient knowing that person is

so far no tech responded yet

[leaden ginkgo]

is techinal step can be used only on one dancer party ?
if there's 2 dancers on party can do they do it

[stray dawn]

what's the issue? I scrolled up a bit, cant find your post about it xD

[leaden ginkgo]

ok so quick question, i bought some items off the mog station.. i got them from my mail.. i equipped them because they are better then what i have on LOL !!! so how do i transmog them for later? I dont see a wardrobe

[flint pollen]

all i wanted to know if there a problem some one picking up and all i get is every so often saying support is busy

[hoary wadi]

do i need to finsh my ARR relic to get the Heavensward relic?

[modest igloo]

nope

[hoary wadi]

pog

[modest igloo]

theres an option but its not worth it

all relics can be done separatly

[hoary wadi]

was worried there for a sec

[stray dawn]

I see, no idea on my end, since I used the e-mail for support, and that took 2 day to respond iirc

[flint pollen]

ok thx

[sleek needle]

You gotta go to an inn room (or similar) to access glamour dresser

[urban nova]

What is one of the easier dps classes to learn? Just came back to the game after years, I'm a level 70 ninja but Idk if my brain is big enough to master these rotations lol.

[stray dawn]

you can always practice with dummies

[tiny crag]

I'm having trouble understanding the Au Ra culture. Specifically with the Naadam and Magnai. A few times, he's talked about the women and stuff. In this instance, Baatu just said that Sadu and the women were asked to stand before him, and she refused and made insult. Are the women made to answer to the men or something?

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you, Do u no how to get my butterfinger mount? I've redeemed it but I dont see it?

[sleek needle]

No idea, might take a while for them to process it I guess?

[silk burrow]

Besides the duty roulette is Matoya's Relict the fastest way to farm Allagan Tomes of Revelation ?

just looking for something quick and fast i can do all day

[robust crow]

hunt trains are very fast if you can wait until a train is announced

for farming revelations

or go do an EX trial and farm a mount at the same time

[twilit arch]

each clan has its own way of doing things. but since the oronir are the current "rulers" of the steppe, they have the right to demand that the women of the steppe present themselves to magnai to see if one of them is his nhaama (aka wife)

[boreal storm]

Magnai just wants a waifu, guys. lay off him

[silk burrow]

Thanks I'll look into farming trials and whenever a hunt train pops up I'll join

[primal gull]

Dancer is by far the easiest dps job in the game, it has a very simple rotation and priority system; also on the easy side are Red Mage and Dragoon

[thick timber]

Is gear important in endgame?

Or is it super easy to gear

[boreal storm]

Yes

[thick timber]

Nice

[robust crow]

loosely

it's super easy to get to a decent gear level

[thick timber]

I do enjoy upgrading my gear slowly

[robust crow]

ilevel 530 is the highest, for reference, and i520 can be obtained in less than a few days

[slate pulsar]

Hey, i was looking into starting the free trial and Im wondering at my account creation, does the selected language matter for my SE account - or can I just change the ui/audio languages in game settings ?

[robust crow]

if you want to get to i530 though, you have to raid savage or timegate very slowly

i510 can be obtained in less than a few hours

all content in this game is doable with i510

[silk burrow]

what do we do with the i520 gear once we unlock the raids to get i530 and get the fully geared

[inland pasture]

Is glamor attached to the gear, or the gear slot?

[tiny crag]

Thank you so much! I was so confused! lol this cleared it right up!

[analog minnow]

white mage is a conjurer?

[silk burrow]

hope the grand company can take them

[inland pasture]

Y

[sleek needle]

To the gear

[robust crow]

you discard, desynth, or turn it into GC seals

[silk burrow]

Okay nice! Thanks

[thick timber]

Ah

[slate pulsar]

Can you change text/voice language in game or is it locked based on account?

[faint flare]

You can

[slate pulsar]

thanks

[twin tapir]

Hi uhm so I wanted to ask when I'll be able to create an character on a preferred server (Chaos)

[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.

[faint flare]

Tldr late at night/early morning

[twin tapir]

oh I see, thanks a lot!

I played on a standard server, I have no problems with it but I thought it would be quite nice just to speed some things up on a preferred server

[modern arrow]

Did they change the way you unlock Sohm Al (Hard)?

[spare agate]

Whats the best way to level up alt jobs since New Game+ doesnt give exp?

[faint flare]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[twilit arch]

no

[modern arrow]

Weird, I already have it unlocked but I just accepted the quest for it in Idllyshire because I saw ar andom blue quest

[mild ermine]

How do you unlock trials roulette ?

[faint flare]

You van unlock it the moment you can do hard mode primals for arr

[twilit arch]

did you use a story skip

[modern arrow]

No

[faint flare]

Which is required for story

[twilit arch]

are you certain you're looking at sohm al hard and not sohm al

[modern arrow]

Positive

[modest igloo]

MSQ

[twilit arch]

could've possibility picked up the quest and unlocked it without actually completing it

[modern arrow]

Already have it done and everything o.o

[spare agate]

thanks

[mild ermine]

Not asking for me, asking for someone new. I haven't had the need to unlock it in years so I don't remember at all.

[twilit arch]

basically you'll unlock trial roulette as you progress thru post ARR

since you need atleast 2 trials (the original 3 from ARR msq don't technically count as trials)

should get it by leviathan iirc

[thick timber]

Do gods matter

[twilit arch]

no

[thick timber]

I picked rhalgir cause sounded cool lol

[faint flare]

Not in character creation matters

[thick timber]

Cool

[faint flare]

Except starting class cause that's where you start

[thick timber]

Fr tho who’s gonna pick god of architecture over DESTRUCTION

[robust crow]

i picked menphina because love

[stable wyvern]

How do i increase mountspeed?

Seen some talk about it

[robust crow]

your MSQ naturally unlocks faster mount speeds for you

[faint flare]

You get it via story

Then you fly eventually for max speed

[robust crow]

if you want to increase your LAND speed even further past the MSQ boost, you can buy riding maps

[faint flare]

Expansion zones need aether currents for flying

[robust crow]

but this is almost completely irrelevent

because flight speed is faster than any land speed

[stable wyvern]

oh

[robust crow]

so riding maps are largely a waste of time unless you just want to be a completionist

[stable wyvern]

Riding maps are like flight paths?

[robust crow]

no

they're a consumable item

that unlocks faster land speed

[stray dawn]

is there a way to check if your squadron finish a mission from afar without going to your GC room?

[faint flare]

Timers I believe

[knotty lily]

I think so, through your Timers menu

[stray dawn]

where's this timer menu? 😮

[faint flare]

Duty > timers

[stray dawn]

never knew this existed, ty

[past echo]

Whats the difference between Eos and Selene? They look like they do the same thing

[faint flare]

None

[past echo]

are they just for aesthetic differences or somethin xd

[wispy parcel]

They used to be different but as of ShB they were homogenized

So its purely looks now

[past echo]

ohh i see
thats good to know

[devout crystal]

Is NIN harder to play or SAM?

[robust crow]

eos gang

[robust crow]

NIN is the highest buttons-per-minute class per game

[wispy parcel]

Its personal preference

[robust crow]

difficulty wise, however, you'll get a lot of different answers

[chrome island]

Are some job actions locked behind MSQ? Ive reached level 60 already but I’m missing the job actions for 54, 56, 58, and 60.

[robust crow]

i think generally people regard sam harder to play

[wispy parcel]

No job in this game is hard if you ask me

[wispy parcel]

They are locked behind ur job quests

[robust crow]

yes, the 50-60 skills are locked behind the heavensward story

you don't have access to your job quests at that level until you reach heavensward

[faint flare]

!faq whynojobquest

[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.

[faint flare]

^

[wispy parcel]

oh we have an faq for that

[faint flare]

With the best name

[chrome island]

Drat, aight. Is it locked just behind getting to HW, or are parts also locked behind HW MSQ too?

[faint flare]

As stated above

Get to the relevant expansion

[chrome island]

So in other words, yes it’s just locked behind getting to HW and not getting through HW MSQ too. Got it.

[lament citrus]

Does anyone knw how much data i need to play game? (also consider doing msq) or at least estimation of data usage

[faint flare]

You will need to further the heavensward msq to unlock zones

[leaden ginkgo]

Not sure what they are called in english, but what can i do with all the broken music notes? Starting to fill up my inventory

[faint flare]

Alchemist repair them

[chrome island]

You can convert them to regular ones

[lament citrus]

Faded rolls? U need alchemist

[leaden ginkgo]

i see, didnt touch crafter/gatherers yet..ill just put it in my saddlebags for now

[chrome island]

You need a blank roll, the correct ink, and some water and lightning shards or crystals (depending on the faded roll you’re converting), as well as of course the faded roll

[stray dawn]

need just one better gear xD

[lament citrus]

@dreamy fjord upgrade ur lowest item for easy 460

[dreamy fjord]

should i use trade market?

[leaden ginkgo]

thx, ill keep that in mind

[faint flare]

If you want to shortcut it

You need like 485 to finish the story

[faint flare]

Eden and nier raids help gear out

[lament citrus]

U can do one daily and get enough for accessory

[faint flare]

If you're not just buying HQ exarchic

[wispy parcel]

if you have gil you can just buy ilvl 510 gear off the market board

[lament citrus]

Also if u planning to buy exarchic set buy it thro pf not market board (to see if u can afford it)

[dreamy fjord]

i have 900.000 gil

[lament citrus]

Iirc ppl sell full set for mil

[wispy parcel]

Thats more than enough

[dreamy fjord]

how's it called again sorry?

[faint flare]

Definitely world hop for better prices

Exarchic

Make sure its high quality

With that icon

[dreamy fjord]

hmm, what's world hop?

[cunning rain]

I'm playing through StB rn and I don't know what job best character is off the top of my head. Do any of you know?

[faint flare]

World visit

[dreamy fjord]

i think i might share my screen tomorrow to someone as it seems odd, and now i'm too tired braindead for anything else xD tysm for the info so far guise

[robust crow]

what?

who is "best character"?

[lament citrus]

@dreamy fjord i can help setting pf for u in chaos DC

@robust crow he meant best job

[dreamy fjord]

may i PM you tomorrow?

[robust crow]

there is no best job

all the jobs are balanced

[stray dawn]

tank/healer, for fast duty queue thats the best jobs

[lament citrus]

There is no best job its all depends on ur play style if u can play all u can go for all

[lament citrus]

Sure thing

[cunning rain]

No, best character Alisaie

[dreamy fjord]

tysm

[faint flare]

Aliasie is red mage

[robust crow]

check the pins, I wrote a gear guide that's pinned in there

[cunning rain]

what job is she in StB because it look cool

[robust crow]

might be very helpful for you

[faint flare]

Red mage

[cunning rain]

thanks

Weird tho, she barely used V words

[junior moon]

So ah, I got to level 52 on my white mage, are dungeons still the best way to level?

[robust crow]

the ver- prefix is mainly attached to magic spells

it's not attached to all of RDM skills

[lament citrus]

Skill name for aliasie isnt same name as rdm skills

[junior moon]

also, why do some of the dungeons have an ilvl requirement of 70 when the previous dungeons only drop ilvl 50 items?

[lament citrus]

All healers need dungeons

[spice quarry]

if I preorder standard endwalker can I upgrade to get the mount months after it launches?

[tall heart]

if someone is coming back after not having played for a very long time. do they still have a house or is it pretty much gone forever

[faint flare]

Yes

[lament citrus]

U farm tomestones of pocties to get high gear (130)

[faint flare]

You can upgrade any of the expansions to collectors

[cunning rain]

Verbut verif veryou veradd ver verto vereverything veryour RDM verbecomes verstronger, verright?

[robust crow]

if you haven't logged in for more than 45 days it's for sure gone

[tall heart]

o well that sucks

had a lot of money in there

[spice quarry]

oh really? so I can get the bonus stuff I missed out on by starting the game this year? or is it just the mounts?

[junior moon]

are tombstones the things I get from dungeons? Where do I trade them in?

[tall heart]

another ?

[noble pollen]

What is nuckelavee?

Anything special if you kill it?

[lament citrus]

Iirc u can reclaim some items from housing npc @tall heart

[lament citrus]

Mor dhona

[faint flare]

Or main cities sundry splendors

[lament citrus]

Forgot they exist 😂😂

[tall heart]

if i havent played since heavensward am i better to start fresh or try and figure things out

[robust crow]

how far did you get in the story?

if you beat heavensward then do NOT start fresh

[tall heart]

ok

I just feel really lost and have no clue were to go or what to do

[robust crow]

look at your MSQ in the top left

that's a good place to start

[tall heart]

ok

[robust crow]

what's the name of it?

[tall heart]

Arenvalds adventure

[late coyote]

do i need to be lvl 50 to get the heavensward jobs or MSQ lvl 50?

[heavy wadi]

msq level 50

er well

get to heavensward

in msq

[robust crow]

that's a post stormblood quest

[late coyote]

what lvl is that?

[knotty lily]

Its level 50 as well, but you have to clear all the patches. 2.0 to 2.55

[heavy wadi]

it's level 50, technically, but there's a lot of post-arr quests to do

[robust crow]

i would absolutely not start over since you're already probably hundreds of hours into story

[tall heart]

lvl 70

[late coyote]

i found myslef very far behind on msq i was on msq lvl 30 when i hit l,vl 50 :p

[robust crow]

if anything, read a refresher and just continue on

[knotty lily]

(70? quests to clear POST-ARR, iirc)

[robust crow]

it's not 100 quests anymore

closer to 70 iirc

they trimmed down those 100 quests a lot

with the 5.3 patch

[heavy wadi]

not really

it's 80 quests now

[tall heart]

i need to find on of those mentors to help me get back into it

[late coyote]

do you ga e some list so i can see how far off i am? like how mnanny quests?

[heavy wadi]

here: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests

find what quest you're on in this list

[knotty lily]

If you -just- beat ARR 2.0 (Castrum, Prae) then it sounds like ~80 more main quests

[late coyote]

not clue what any of that means :p

[knotty lily]

What level are you now / where are you at?

[stray dawn]

@late coyote best if you look at MSQ wiki and ctrl+f your quest name, you'll see how far you are to heavensward

[stark hedge]

What crafting job is best for gil?

[late coyote]

im lvl 53 and im on the lvl 41MSQ quest 'Sealed with Science'

[late coyote]

yeah ifound the quest on the list

[knotty lily]

No joke, all of them - they each "need each other" to survive. Its a lot of work, but worth it

[late coyote]

so when i get to the Seventh Astral Era Quests
Patch 2.1 (A Realm Awoken) thats when im good to learn them?

[heavy wadi]

no

you need to get to heavensward content (3.0)

[knotty lily]

Heavensward Main Scenario quests, so you're maybe like 120 quests away, maybe more

[late coyote]

ahh i see it now so quite all of quests at 50 then

[heavy wadi]

yeeup

[stark hedge]

so if i invest in culinarian will i make gua?

[late coyote]

rip thoguht i was getting close as i was in ishgard

[knotty lily]

Coming to Ishgard unlocks Ishgard, and thats where the HW jobs (Dark Knight, Astro, Machinist) are. Note that the other jobs (RDM, SAM, DNC, GNB) actually DONT NEED to go that far, only to get to Patch 2.1 (A realm awoken)

(they realize their mistake of making players wait so long in future expansions)

[heavy wadi]

ishgard is the city - you're currently in coerthas

[robust crow]

if you really want to make gil then you can do it with virtually any crafter if you know your market

crafting glams is a common way to make money

[late coyote]

ah ok well im looking tyo get astro so sima grind through em

[knotty lily]

For sure, CUL relies heavily on Gathering, Fishing, Alchemy, etc.

[robust crow]

but if you want to make money with specifically culinarian

it's gonna be hard

[knotty lily]

^

[robust crow]

because you may need to invest a ton of money to get high end crafting gear in order to craft raid food

[hearty crest]

ok i got summoner unlocked how do i switch to that class

[robust crow]

and at this point it's not worth doing

[heavy wadi]

equip your job stone

[stark hedge]

Ahh gotcha

[robust crow]

if you're in the shadowbringers story, you can go the coffee biscuit route

that's a guaranteed 1.2m gil every week if you have the patience to farm mats

the NPC buys HQ coffee biscuit for several thousand gil, up to 1.2m gil per week

so you can just braindead craft HQ coffee biscuit like 300 times every week and make money

[hasty sand]

Question.

Post ShB question

||How many trials are in the Eden line?||

[knotty lily]

12

[heavy wadi]

not trials, but raids. there are 12 total

[hasty sand]

Yeesh.

I have a bit to go then

[stark hedge]

@robust crow what would you recommend going for then?

[robust crow]

if you want to make glams, weaver and leatherworker are decent places to start

but if your goal is to make money specifically then you should go learn the market

see what glam items sell on your server, for how much, and what it takes to craft them

[gusty storm]

if i use fbt then enkindle phoenix is there a chance enkindle will drop

[ocean abyss]

Quick question. I'm slowly working on my Resistance weapon, and I'm to the point where I need to level up my Bojzan Front level to 10 or whatever. How high will I need my Bozjan level to be to complete the weapon?

[cursive terrace]

what difference does it make to farm field notes in group vs solo?

[lucid swan]

yo i havent played ffxiv in 2 years, i wanted to resub but when i try to pay through my steam wallet (money is on it already) it rejects the payment for some reason

[heavy wadi]

higher chance of getting gold rank participation in skirmishes and thus more consistent chance to get the notes

[cursive terrace]

i see

[lucid swan]

i had a payment issue before where i accidentally refunded a bank transaction and was banned, but the support resolved that a long time ago, but is there any way to resub without it getting rejected for no reason?

it lets me play on free weekends, but not resub atm

[robust crow]

it depends how you want to do your relic

level 10 and completion of DRR is the hard requirement

i don't remember if the later steps require dalriada

if it does, then the hard requirement is level 25

which is the max

[ocean abyss]

Hmm... Ok I hope it's 10 then. I don't really like the Bojzan Front stuff.

I'm barely lvl 7

[robust crow]

one of the final steps can be done in zadnor (the next bozja zone)

but the alternative is to farm normal raids

[cosmic hemlock]

im gonna lose my mind...... how tf do I find the suspicious object from the daily sylph quest

[stray dawn]

@lucid swan prob best if you use thier customer service chat system or the likes

[ocean abyss]

I would most likely much rather farm normal raids.

[robust crow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/616210715107393567/856919124511948821/E3qKUAaWEAE3j_n.jpeg

refer to this pic

for the entire process

[ocean abyss]

Since I do a lot of roulettes every day anyway.

Awesom! Thank you!

[lucid swan]

i already contacted them, i just wanted to ask in case a server is down or if its a recurring issue

[devout crystal]

Is NIN APM that high too a point it could be a deterrent factor for some people? Your-hands-get-hurt-after-awhile bad? Or is it more like MCH that you only click few buttons over and over again but not like playing a piano.

[broken cairn]

How do I change a hotbar to use a custom keybind?

[random girder]

it is more like playing piano but my hands dont hurt at all

just gotta get comfy keybinds

if your hands hurt youre stretching them too far

[robust crow]

NIN APM is very close to MCH APM

[knotty lily]

You mean like here? Main Menu > Keybinds > Hotbar specifically

[robust crow]

i think NIN wins out very barely

NIN is something like 34 APM and MCH is like 33

or some shit

[random girder]

less about apm than it is about pressing different buttons i think

since mch is just the same 3 buttons for hypercharge

nin has a lot of shit during ta

[broken cargo]

Do you already need a party to accept guildhests or are members assigned if solo?

[faint flare]

It's a thing you que for like dungeons

[outer mural]

as i answered in the other channel, it's assigned to you like any other instanced duty

[broken cargo]

Ah. Thanks.

[broken cargo]

Missed your last response. thanks

[quick sage]

Are pony mounts really harder to get than birdies

[outer mural]

easier

[quick sage]

I’ve been soloing Ifrit 30 times and no mounts

Drop

[outer mural]

can just unsync em easier

[quick sage]

And Titan like 30 and no whistle

And shiva 5 times so far

[outer mural]

yeah rates are the same but it's easier to solo since they're 50

extreme or normal/hard?

[quick sage]

So drop rates are the same? I’m doing extreme

Are drop rates lower when soloing?

I literally got 7 birds last night in like 3 hours

Getting firebird

I was with a group of 3-4 ppl

[faint flare]

Ponies have the same rates as birds

[outer mural]

nope

same drop rate as birds regardless of size

it's just RNG being spiteful for you

[primal gull]

speaking of birds, can the hw ex trials be soloed? I just got the last horse today so now it's on to another collection project

[quick sage]

Hmmm I was in a group of 3-4 for those 7 birdies, and yea, it was passed and I was the only one that got it. But I got all in 2-3 hours

But for pony

[leaden ginkgo]

probably a silly question but is there a difference in the server communities?

[quick sage]

I’m soloing and I haven’t gotten one

Wtf

[faint flare]

Yes, but it's not advised to solo anything past like Nidhogg

Sophia is fine

Sephriot definitely bot

Soloable but rng as fuck

[willow sparrow]

How do I enable auto loot?

[faint flare]

It's on by default

[primal gull]

I have the Zurvan one I think and no others, so I guess it's time to start making friends who also want to farm

[glad robin]

If I’m low gear score compared to my level of character how do I increase gear?

[cunning loom]

poetics gear

[glad robin]

Cuz I’m dying to a specific quest mob and I need help

[outer mural]

they can be but it's generally always better to farm with multiple people who want to commit

just PF it

[faint flare]

Story and job quests give you gear

And you can use poetics at 50/60/70

For the best gear there

[glad robin]

Im stuck in a story quest cuz I keep dying to mobs idk why cuz I didn’t have issues before it just randomly got harder

[quick sage]

Ok I just got shiva whistle haha

Yesssss

[primal gull]

If you are below 50 then check the gear vendors in any major city, if you're 50 or higher then look into poetics gear

[robust crow]

what level quest are you doing? what is your average item level?

you might just be doing the quest wrong

some of them don't want you to kill everything

[glad robin]

I’m lvl 45 atm. And gear is 31 😂

Well I killed some of the other ones just fine it says summon and kill some

[hearty crest]

we people say you should go through the story do people read all the dialouge

[faint flare]

Do your job gear and you get some gear from the 45 quest

Hands, feet, legs and head

[robust crow]

many people do read most of the dialogue

[primal gull]

Make sure it doesn't tell you to use an item to weaken the enemy before killing

Some quests have that

[robust crow]

if you care at all about the story then you probably are anyway

[glad robin]

Nah it says use the electro reader to draw out the voices then kill them but the three of them do big damage on me each

It’s hard to kill them all cuz each is doing a lot to me despite every combo I try

[sage mirage]

What class are you playing?

[robust crow]

are you a black mage?

[glad robin]

Bard

[robust crow]

you can sleep 2 of them

[faint flare]

Are you using your lv45 job gear

[stray dawn]

I rmb these skill used to be auto applied to hotbar 1 and you can use your hotbar 1 keybindings, buiit this time it doesnt. (prob remembering wrong)
If not, what setting I have to change to get that back?

[glad robin]

Yeah I’m using the highest I could get from each story quest so far

[primal gull]

is this a levequest? If so I would just skip it

[glad robin]

I only have been doing MSR

[robust crow]

yeah, either grab your level 45 job gear, summon your chocobo to help, or kite the mobs around

bard has arm's length and that one other slow

that will significantly reduce your damage taken

[sage mirage]

Yeah, Arm's Length helps a lot

[glad robin]

Okay I’ll try again

But I think I die regardless

[robust crow]

use arm's length and let them hit you

because it will slow their attacks a lot

let them hit you once*

[faint flare]

The chocobo covers all your overworld healing

[sage mirage]

Also summon your chocobo and have it heal you

[glad robin]

Cuz I’ve tried it 500 times and I manage to get 2 or so killed but the third always KOs me

How do I summon one?

[faint flare]

Gyshal greens

After unlocking companions

[sage mirage]

I think you need to do a side quest to unlock it

[stray dawn]

buy a lot!

[raven star]

Got someone from Iran trying to add the code to the game, can anyone help?

Bit of a language barrier, but having a little trouble

Activating ShB

Got the game on steam and it wont accept his code,

[sage mirage]

Ah

[stray dawn]

adding steam code to a PS4/PS5?

[raven star]

Thats what I thought

[sage mirage]

Steam purchases only work on Steam

[raven star]

Bit of a language barrier so it's harder to explain it to him

Does he need to make a new account?

[stray dawn]

what is he trying to do?

[patent citrus]

you can convert non-steam free trial account to steam one

[stray dawn]

play on PC through steam, or play by using his PS4/PS5?

[raven star]

He never played the free trial

[patent citrus]

ohhhhh

[raven star]

He wants to play on PC, he just got the game on steam

[faint flare]

Should be under your account > enter registration code or something

[stray dawn]

then he should add the code not under PS4/PS5 in the mog station

[raven star]

Does he need to make a new SE account?

idk how to get it off ps4/5

he keeps offering his account info to me

[patent citrus]

take a ss of this part

we wanted to know what his account status is and where he played before

[raven star]

He's never played, he just paid for the game and is trying to activate the code

[glad robin]

I am using recommended gear and still died again while trying a few more times

[stray dawn]

use code under that I think'

[faint flare]

No

[primal gull]

is this a main story quest you are doing or what

[faint flare]

It's not an item code

[raven star]

it's the archer boss from ShB

[glad robin]

Yeah it is

From ARR

[primal gull]

oh

[robust crow]

did you grab your chocobo companion, use arm's length, kite the mobs?

[raven star]

oh i got it mixed with another ss xD

[faint flare]

And your 45 job gear?

[glad robin]

I don’t see my companion or the side quest anywhere

I tried with the skill nothing worked tho

[robust crow]

arm's length slows their attack speed

they have to hit you before they get slowed

you can also sprint and run around in circles to attempt to kite them if you're desperate

you can use your bind and snare to help slow or root them

tbh it shouldn't be this hard though

[raven star]

What is he trying to fight? xD

[robust crow]

3 quest mobs

[glad robin]

Electronic magnetic spirit things

[robust crow]

oh, those don't auto attack, do they

[glad robin]

Near the toads in mor dhona

They do when you summon them

The stupid toads get aggro if nearby too so they pull you in

[primal gull]

Arms length will prevent that draw in

[robust crow]

it won't prevent them from aggroing though lol

[stable wyvern]

Can you build boats in this game?

And airships?

[primal gull]

lol true

[raven star]

Can I link the guy making an account here?

[glad robin]

I just saw someone who summoned it with me and he just died too

[faint flare]

Free company workshops build airships which are just glorified retainers

[robust crow]

why don't you work with that guy who summoned it

[patent citrus]

Can you ask him to take the ss of that part?

[robust crow]

summon them one person at a time

[raven star]

I did a few times

[patent citrus]

lol the enter code part should right below it if i'm not wrong

[raven star]

he keeps sending me the same SS

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.

how do i know the time of a fate exactly? i wanna play the ixion fate but idk how im supposed to know when it's up

[robust crow]

your best bet is to join a hunt discord

and wait until someone calls it out that ixion has spawned

that fate only spawns once every couple of days or some shit

[lapis mountain]

Ok but why -.- and will I at least be able to retry with my email? I don't like this thing of having multiple emails

Oh, nevermind. I forgot about mogstation.

[patent citrus]

If you purchased the game before, pretty sure you can just pay the sub and can logi again

[warm snow]

You shouldn't have been able to buy anything if you were on trial

How does the weekly loot thing in Paradigm work? I’d like to get the 2B hair but I already ran it today

[chrome island]

This might be too subjective a question for this channel, but how hard is it, relatively speaking to get, say… 100k gil from anything other than MSQ? I ask because I want to buy something that’s about 255k gil, but that will eat most of the gil I have, so I’m trying to see how bad I’d be crippling myself if I were to get it.

[modest igloo]

i had 3 mil by the end of ShB only spending money on teleports

i also literally only did msq

the only thing you have to save money for is 510 gear on the MB to unlock all ShB content

thats it

[chrome island]

I’m in the middle of 2.55, so I know it’ll be a few hours before I’m able to be making solid gil with MSQ again, should I just go ahead and buy it, and then not worry too much about making back the gil?

I’m trying to buy a bunch of silver ink, to do orchestrion rolls, and I’m not high enough in DoH/L to get everything to craft it (much less to actually craft it) yet

[primal gull]

Out of curiosity, what are you buying at that level that's 255k?

[cunning loom]

probably a minion

[willow sparrow]

is there an option so camera doesn't snap back to default position when I start moving?

[primal gull]

Like, why not just wait for later?

[primal gull]

Unfortunately there's really only that or f-keys, SE doesn't want people relying on macros so they are very poor for in combat use

They don't queue properly so you will lose casts

[fickle tree]

@obsidian patio I saw this and immediately though of your profile picture.

[idle void]

I found this command
/micon "nameOfSkill" /ac "nameOfSkill" <mo> /ac "nameOfSkill" <me>

[obsidian patio]

[primal gull]

yeah, that's a macro, but it will not work well

you really shouldn't rely on them in this game

[idle void]

why not?

[primal gull]

because they don't work the way WoW macros do

they don't queue up actions properly

which means you will think you cast a spell when you actually didn't

[patent citrus]

you can try that if it's your liking

[leaden ginkgo]

so when starting on a non preferred server... the MSQ will be the bulk of my leveling... does it keep you pretty much on track or will i have to catch my level up sometimes

[patent citrus]

if that doesn't work, then manually is recommended really

[dull lotus]

I have what might be a strange question. What benefit would there be, if any, to just ignoring leveling as a Pally and continuing my job as a Gladiator? Like I'm mostly confused on why it's an optional switch instead of just auto switching once you hit level 30?

[primal gull]

or you will cast a spell but it will take longer to fire off and will delay your next cast

[fickle tree]

mouse over macros are overall unreliable

[primal gull]

No benefit whatsoever

[idle void]

I can't even get it to work

[primal gull]

The base jobs stop gaining actions at 30

[dull lotus]

So why does the game give you the option instead of just swapping you over automatically? Mostly curious

[primal gull]

It's a holdover from the way the game previously worked

You used to require multiple classes leveled to unlock a specific job

[dull lotus]

Ah gotcha, that makes a lot more sense.

[primal gull]

Like if you wanted to be a bard you would need Archer and Thaumaturge

what skill you are trying to cast 😂

easiest is to use auto-translation dictionary

[primal gull]

Basically, as soon as you reach 30 you should equip your job crystal and never take it off, the xp you get is the exact same but there's no reason to ever be a level 50 Gladiator vs a level 50 Paladin

[astral badge]

So, I skip dialogue a lot and Im just now realizing that isnt the best idea. Im currently level 39 and Im still a Marauder. How/where can I start my warrior job?

[dull lotus]

Yeah I missed out on 2 levels because I wasn't paying attention

[primal gull]

You didn't miss out on anything

Paladin xp is gladiator xp

It's the same thing

[warm snow]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[primal gull]

As a paladin you will earn Gladiator xp, and that will give you levels in paladin

[worn fog]

guys im switching from aura to something else and i was wondering what looks better with the samurai is it viera or miqote or i just stick with aura

[astral badge]

Oh I see

Thank youu

[warm snow]

And stop skipping dialogue, this is a story driven game before an mmo

[patent citrus]

that's subjective man... You gotta decide regardless...

[warm snow]

Miqote but I'm obviously biased and love the cat ear slits on the headgear

[worn fog]

its hard to decide by myself

[warm snow]

Flip a coin

[primal gull]

You should go roe, obviously

[worn fog]

as for me i'll just do both but since there is no reason to play 2 characters im confused

[sullen niche]

At what point should someone start looking at leveling DoH/L, doing grand company stuff and ventures?

I just finished the stormblood story, but I need to catch up with my dps job before I continue (basically I don't feel like tanking)

[patent citrus]

ventures and company stuffs can give you a lot of resources, doh/dol generally recommended when you unlocked ishgard restoration

I think for GC and Ventures, you can start as early as possible

the GC quests unlock aurum vale, useful leveling dungeon

[visual agate]

is it possible to drop mount When im soloing ramuh?

[patent citrus]

and squadron, etc

[sullen niche]

Would it be best for me to finish my msq before diving in to all the side stuff? Or better to have it passively running whilst I'm questing?

[patent citrus]

yeah undersized party extreme

[primal gull]

On extreme yes

[visual agate]

aight thx

[primal gull]

Each of the ARR primals (except for || Good King Moggle Mog ||) has an Ex mount

[glad robin]

How do I unlock storm seals? Just complete random stuff in the area around?

[patent citrus]

I usually do any blue quests I see available along the way, cause I don't want to go back looking for them when I'm 80

except the relic quests ofc

[lavish island]

speaking of relic quests does anyone know the fastest way to get Density for the Anima relic?

[primal gull]

Once you reach a certain point in your MSQ you will get the option of joining a grand company, storm seals are the version you can get if you join the Maelstrom

[sullen niche]

Ah, I've only been doing msq and job quests x) guess I'll need to catch up with all my blues at some point

[patent citrus]

"best" is kinda relative, since these blue quests unlocks leveling and various trials/raids to increase the roulette pool

[glad robin]

Yeah I did but it says to get seals to give to the guy for a license thing

[patent citrus]

the more instances you unlock, the faster your roulette queue would be cause you are queued into bigger pool

[primal gull]

Grand company levequests, FATEs, and roulettes all give seals

Also you can turn in old gear that is green or better to an NPC at your GC HQ for seals

[sullen niche]

You could also do the grand company hunting log (press H on keyboard) which gives seals

[primal gull]

There's also deliveries of crafted/gathered items and yeah, the GC hunting log

[sullen niche]

Ooh, didnt know this was a thing :o

[idle void]

how do addons work in FF14?

[primal gull]

They don't

There aren't any (that are officially sponsored or supported)

[idle void]

okay but are they allowed? I found a mouseover plugin that supposedly works like in wow

[primal gull]

They aren't allowed, but people use them anyway

[idle void]

hah yeah, with my luck I'll be instabanned if I use them

[robust crow]

well

there's a nuance to it

[primal gull]

If you're going to use them, don't talk about them in game

[hoary crypt]

Seems like they need to change the name to subscribed companies

[robust crow]

depends on what addon specifically and there's a gray area

but yes bottoml ine is don't talk about it in game

[idle void]

yeah I heard about that, apparently we shouldn't talk about addons and dps meters in-game

[glad robin]

Oh yeah I see the hunting log

Do I have to look for the mobs? Are these bosses?

[patent citrus]

just normal mobs, get your healer chocobo out and start hitting them

[primal gull]

They are normal enemies for the most part

The log will tell you generally where to look

And you can always Google for more specific locations

[hoary wadi]

Is there an estimate suggested item level to do an item level 80 solo dungeon unsynced

[slim holly]

Is there a party finder on this discord?
I cant seem to find anyone to help with my blue mage quest in game

[polar hound]

Nah. Use PF ingame

[slim holly]

Trial so big no :x

[polar hound]

What

[slim holly]

I cant create a pf as trial

[polar hound]

Put it in pf and it will either fill or you'll find an 80 to help

Yes you can

Oooog

[sacred oracle]

can u make every letter in the game bigger?

beside reduce resolution

[polar hound]

Oooh sorry I'm reading trial like.. primal

[slim holly]

bruh

[polar hound]

You can ask in say chat to have someone make one

Generally someone will help, try limsa etc but yeah you won't have more luck outside of the game than you will inside for these things tbh

[slim holly]

Or is there like a blue mage discord that you know of maybe?
I will try asking someone for pf too

[polar hound]

Oh yeah check #resources

Theres a few blu discords, blue academy/masked carnivale etc

[cursive terrace]

when do the data centers statuses update?

[late coyote]

just checked my spell book after hitting 54 if i get any spells and noticed i should have gotten a spell at 52 and 54 but they're still locked? checked the place where i picked up the other job quests and nothing there? also nothing under the thing in the top left that usualy shows new job quests and such?

[primal gull]

Level 50+ job quests are locked behind MSQ progression

you need to finish the 2.55 MSQ and reach Ishgard

then you'll be able to do level 50+ job quests

[late coyote]

i am in isgard tho but im not on 50 msq lvl

[primal gull]

that's.....not possible

Ishgard is locked until you finish the 2.55 MSQ

[late coyote]

oh nvm im in coerthas next to ishgard

thgouht one of the smaller cities where ishgard

[primal gull]

haha, yeah

Anyway just keep doing your MSQ for now, you can't do any level 51+ content anyway so you wouldn't be able to use those abilities anyway

the same thing will happen at 60 and again at 70

[late coyote]

yeah i noticed allot that since my msq was at 30 when i hit lvl 50 i couldnt use nay of my cool abailities in the dungs

[primal gull]

Yep, that happens a lot in this game. You get synced down to the max level of the content

[late coyote]

oh btw for scholars does broil basicly just replace Ruin seems the same just better

[primal gull]

Yes

[late coyote]

neat im tierd of spamming ruin xD

[willow sparrow]

What is Battle Gear and Field Gear?

[primal gull]

Now you can spam broil instead!

[patent citrus]

well it's still ruin, just changed name and animation 😂

[late coyote]

wowie!

[primal gull]

Battle gear is for combat classes (DoW, DoM), field gear is for gathering classes

[willow sparrow]

ah

[late coyote]

well the animation for ruin is simialr to the tohers ones so ita a bit of a change

il still use Ruin II tho right as its insta cast can combo it with the casted ones

[faint flare]

Only ruin 2 to weave off globals

Ruin otherwise

[late coyote]

ye figured

[royal garnet]

[stable wyvern]

[faint flare]

Unlock ventures in main cities

[patent citrus]

[faint flare]

Ill convinced venture

[stable wyvern]

[dense sandal]

Hi there, can anyone help me to understand riding a chocobo? I completed the quest my little chocobo and have the summon icon in hot bar, however it says cannot execute at this time. Thank you!

[patent citrus]

need to use the whistle first

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey^^ I'm having trouble leveling DOH classes and was wondering if I could get some advice and power leveling tips (dms)

[cunning loom]

can't summon in town

[dense sandal]

Thank you both!! The whistle! I had overlooked that

[steel jasper]

where can i see my own buff pls and make it bigger

[patent citrus]

type /hudlayout

seperate your health bar to seperate debuff, buff and health

and make the buff bigger percentage

[steel jasper]

this is buff right?

[lean egret]

can u get the black chocobo even if the streamer is off?

or do they need to be streaming

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes. You may wanna right-click that.

[dry cairn]

Can you earn XP through newgame+ for leveling another job, or is it just for nostalgia?

[jovial quarry]

They need to be actively streaming FFXIV for your gift subs to count.

[lean egret]

Oh mkay-

thx

[patent citrus]

nostalgia, no rewards

[jovial quarry]

NG+ is just for going through the story again. There are no rewards.

[leaden ginkgo]

I've asked this question in the modding discords, verdict seems no. A real shame though, I'd of loved to level a class while re-doing ARR and taking screenshots for my album(s).

[jovial quarry]

Yes, that's your buff window.

[rancid harness]

Hello o/ I'm struggling to find the aether quest for the middle Lakeland aether current quest, it's my last one

The map doesn't show any bluequests

[jovial quarry]

Check in the Crystarium. If I recall, there's one near your inn room.

[rancid harness]

Thanks!

[dry ember]

hi, new guy here wanting to follow up the anima weapon missions and honestly I'm lost ;-; is there a webpage that explains everything you need in a easy way? (kind of "for dummies ;-;)

[jovial quarry]

!faq anima

[winged oyster]

If i'm on primal data center and my friend is on Crystal can we cross play?

[zinc orbit]

5.1 Guide to the Anima Relic

Anima Relic Guide

[jovial quarry]

Try that ^ @dry ember

[dry ember]

will do, ty :D

[jovial quarry]

No, unfortunately. Cross data center play isn't possible atm. We are eventually getting data center travel but they haven't mentioned if cross play between them will be coming.

[winged oyster]

If we were both on a primal data center could we?

[hazy estuary]

to confirm, leveling in the diadem gathering classes, you just grab the level 10 mats over and over not changing gear until level 60?

[jovial quarry]

Yes definitely.

[jovial quarry]

Yeah just grab the low level stuff until 60.

[hazy estuary]

I guess that is truly a cheap way to level up lol. Not complainig tou

Ty for confirming

[odd ravine]
