What does it mean when it says All above my HP, and then changes to Others when in combat?
@willow sparrow
it also depends on the time. its like 1AM to 3 AM-ish in NA?
How many cutscenes need I ensure when I start HW (like within the first 5 quests or so)
that is for you and i have another picture to show you
its the targeting filter. mostly for controllers
Meaning, how many are there, not how many I gotta pay attention to
yea, I just don't have any other pants yet
You have been doing your class quests right Hum?
msq and class and duties are good enough
class ones usually unlock abilities so its nice to do
Along with giving gear
how do i know if a train just started in my server
it's been like two weeks i barely get hunt notifs for my server from centurio hunts
and if they do notify its in the tempest which is basically its over before i even reach tempest
Tonberry btw
got my first new pants, no more panty flashing

Does ninja rely on double weaving? Or can I play it normally with 110 ping?
ninja has a bunch of stuff they want to fit into their TA window where double weaving can be helpful but its not as bad as before
since TCJ is now on GCD
Ninja doesn't have an extreme amount if double weaving most of it is single
But 110 ms can still comfortably double weave as needed
True, I do double weave but the animation clips a bit on my GCD
It’s not consistent to say the least
Adjust your weave timings
Ninja with huton hovers at the 2.00 gcd mark
So you technically have less time than you think
Will do, ty
I don't understand this quest
ask for a linkshell invite next time you see a train
And the quest objective is...
Go to west than, enter the green zones on the map, initiate
Fair tip, combat leves are garbage
yeah in that direction and also you will see a green circle and when you get at that grean area then initaite
initiate said ti will send me to my home and abandon quest
well if you finish it will take you back to the npc that you picked up the quest from
No it’s saying you don’t have a return point set up in the area
Just in case you die
upon click on the box
ooh
i meant the leve quest completion and when you do finish it will prompt the box
okay thanks
So every expansion has a base credits scene and then a post patch credits or is ARR just annoying?
Every expansion has 2 credits yes
and when you die it will take you to return where you home map is unless assigned another home

but if you are lucky or with a party you can get some one to rez you
Other than cool backgrounds I’d it worth it to sit through the credits? I just finished ARR and I just wanna get to HW
question can i make my axe look like the moonlight greatsword with prisms?
The greatsword is a DRK weapon, so no
my gf just made a square enix account in order to play the free trial on steam, and when she logs in it says it's not eligible for free trial?
she literally just made the account
That's odd
what's the next step?
I've been asking in the discord but no luck
ao i just shout for linkshell?
@honest anvil
try to log w/o steam using the created id
Mind that Steam and the PC versions are treated as separate
I don't know why but that's how it is
oooh, so she created her account on the ff website and not through the launcher via steam
maybe that's why
to me i prefer to do things through SE and use steam to just open my FF14 short cut lmao
does anyone know if server transfer will be free when the OCE servers drop
Most likely yes
pog thanks
cause on steam you can add non-steam games for a shortcut
can also say or tell since everyone will be in the same area anw; “anyone have a hunt linkshell? pls add me” ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I recall them doing it when they added the Crystal data center
can I submit a ticket and have them make it work on steam?
can i auto translate linkshell?
beware they are so busy since the holiday is over and there are a surge of ppl needing support cause i spent hour and 30 minutes before i got a response
earlier
kk thanks
yw
Weird question now that you bring it up, I assume the PC and Steam versions aren't mutually exclusive and can only have one of the two?
they are mutually exclusive and choosing one or the other locks you out.
That's fair I suppose
it makes sense too, you shouldnt be able to buy 2 different PC license and accidentally double charge yourself
It is weird to me how you can't just log with the same license on either
The account has measures in place for consoles too
i mainly play on the console
but i can log on pc but not at the same time
i have to use one device at a time or it will lock you out
It's odd, and I've been trying to look into why that is exactly. Instead of just guessing anyway. I'm guessing there more of a legal/security reason behind it.
it's because of business reasons
for the changes to the login
actually no scratch that i'm talkin out of my ass and misunderstood the situation
goodbye
Looks like fraud reasons. I only guessed legal because global laws can get really weird when it comes to things like this. We're talking hiring an independent set of lawyers to handle such laws weird
Hello! I chose limsa as my home place at MSQ 30 ( or whatever it was ), but my aether thing teleported me to girdiana, did I do something wrong?
think my game is bugged m on the scenario for the quest escape from castrum centri but the big magitek vanguard is just immune to everything i throw at him?
Ohh, so did I set it as my favorite or something? What's the difference 😮
Yeah I see it has a silver star next to it
favorites reduce the price to tp there
home makes it to where you can return for free with the return spell
doesn't reduce the actual cost to 0 or anything
Ohhh, that makes sense, ty! So the silver star is a favorite right?
i believe so but i don't remember for sure
Appreciate the help!
Hey, I made my free trial account via the official launcher. I don't think I can switch to steam for the official game when I want to right?
no, not to my knowledge
You can go from a trial to the steam full game
But can I transfer my free trial character to steam?
yes you can go from normal trial to steam full version
if you mean free trial standalone -> free trial steam then no
IIRC there's a terminal hiding somewhere in the area that you have to activate to make it drop its shields
Ah good, was worried I'd lose my free trtial character
Hello. Ive got a question about purchasing and being able to play. Im gonna play trial through Steam atm. I looked at the complete edition on Squenix store. If I buy that can I play it from any platform FF14 is on as long as I login through the account I purchased the game?
there you can set your destination
yes but for PC you can't go from free trial steam -> full standalone iirc
only the inverse
PC doesnt concern me, I got a PS4 and I wouldnt mind jumping on there from time to time
but you can buy a license for PS4 and play on the PS4 version with the same account
yeah it should be fine, same account but multiple licenses should do what you want
ah yeah found them random thingyes behind stuff at the edges :p
pc and mac and ps4/5 each have a license which you have to pay each individually but you can log on any account for what i understand as long you pay your subs
Can I do ocean fishing on a trial account?
so its just the sub I have to pay again to get to play on PS4
no you need to buy the game on ps4 for a separate license
sub pays for both pc and ps4 if you have both games
ok ok, ill see how it runs on my PC, if its having a hard time gonna buy it on PS4 instead
say for example you have a account and you got a license with a pc but if you go on your p4 then you have to get another license
is there a certain gatherer/crafter i can focus on earlyish on for making gil? im about to hit idyllshire and havent touched any of them really, but would lie a way to start making money consistently
you don't really run into money early on
you run more into it when you gather maps and higher end materials and then crafted mats alongside that
i recommend botanist here and there so you can level it up to start collecting maps, and maybe branch off into the cookie leves thing at 80
but earlier on your options are limited besides meager collecting and selling that aren't super lucrative
so far i have pc and ps4 but the mac i dont cause idnk now but there was some issues on the mac and players were not to happy but that was my research over 2 years ago lol
And another question: are there any Dutch people around? If so, I'm curious how you've set up your subscription for FF14. Via SE or steam? Since there's no iDeal payment method, which I usually use. And Paypal has added this inactivity payment system, so not sure about that.
i see
id lucked out and ran into a few cosmetics in potd that were worth a bit, but yeah thats pretty much the only money ive seen so far outside of MSQ gear rewards
ill try and look into botanist
I made the bulk of my money selling high quality levelling gear I made
i noticed a pretty decent amount of gear in my level bracket goes for 30-80k
Likely due to the nature of game where it lets you level everything on one character
you sohuldn't be buying marketboard gear
Those are very inflated for low level gear
msq and dungeons gives you enough
if it's an alt char then poetics and dungeon gear is enough
oh yeah for sure
ive only spent money on gear once, just cause ive been playing GNB and i wanted a stat boost that i didnt need
everything else has been on glamour stuff lmao, thus the desire for money
been spending my poetics on gear for alt jobs even though none of the ones i wanna play are to 50 yet, but didnt wanna hit the cap and then just not be bringing them in
good
It should be
any awesome mount that a fresh lv 80 can get?
hey guys, is there any benefit doing all the blue leves quests?
Nothing I can think of outside of unlocking the leves of that level range
Which will be necessary if you want to do the ARR relics
not sure what relics are
Best weapons at a level cap
They're special weapons that look cool

They require a significant grind and the final step tends to be the best weapon for that expansion
Non current ones are just there to look pretty
The ARR relic for paladin, for example
like i mentioned i havent touched crafter/gatherers really, and you mentioned making leveling gear. are there a handful of jobs i can focus on for this, or is this going to kinda require the bulk of the non-combat jobs?
oh wow that's cool.... well I'm still at the beginnning of msq... guess I will learn about relic weapons later on
The HW ones
should i play any specific class if i want to be a machinist? or does it not matter
Kind of yes, since gear parts tend to be spread across the professions
does the game introduce you to relic weapons?
so starting class in character creation doesn’t matter huh
It’s best to do relics when you have a lvl 80 so you can unsync half the steps
?s folks what are the dps skills and AoEs for a rogue and now that i just got it to 30 so i need to know what the next part is ???
It determines your starting city
The relics start off as blue sidequests
But yeah due to the nature of getting them being the strongest you can be can save a lot of time
Correction: Doton is actually 900 potency. I forgot that ground AoEs will get one free tick upon placement, giving Doton 9 ticks of damage. All rules still apply though.
Also note that all Mudra share the same charge count. They work together to be 2 Ninjutsu, not 2 Mudra each.
5.4 Buff: Spinning Edge and Gust Slash both buffed by 10 potency.
...
thx jim
any marketboard near a teleporter?
Lisma
Limsa has one that's the closest
Ul'dah is less crowded, and you can use the big aetherite to teleport directly to one
Do we know when the next pvp season comes out ?
Buying the shadowbringers expansion doesn't come with game time does it ?
no, expansions never do
we do not
I already had the base game long ago. Thanks tho
what's the easiest dragon mount to get
||midgardsormr|| you get it from msq
Oooo which expansion?
heavensward
Nice
flying on a chocobo doesnt feel right
hey guys jjust maxed out on poetics again and idk what to buy. Currently working on the shadowbringers relics but only on the first stage (augmented). Are there any tiems i need to buy with poetics in the future for the relic?
the mount speed is the same across the board right?
Yes
mhm
what ever class you want to work on that are at the proper lvl
not sure im guessing 50 plus
I can't buy game time from steam can I ?
You can with the steam wallet
Exception is the SDS Fenrir from the Cash shop which always goes at max speed for the zone
It doesn't give me the option to
you can use steam wallet to pay for the sub
OH okay
but thru steam itself, no
its all done thru mogstation
its not max level speed, its the first tier of movement speed for sds fenrir
gee how many freaking quests and back and forth all this mess im going to do before i get the rogue soul stone
So once you've gained that from the msq (for arr-sb zones)/riding maps (shb zones), sds fenrir is same as the otehrs
so far i already got the blue swirl item
where can i finaly get that freaking sould stone ?
30
so i can upgrade my rogue
it is lvl 30 and im going around like a headless chicken
and i have been checking still no soul stone
you gotta do your level 30 job quest
Keep working on it then. You'll get it soon enough
for the past 30 minutes is crazy
If you can't get the soul stone you're not expected to have it
heard soemone said its easy to change your grand company how and where do i do it and what do i loose from doing it?
You will not access content that expects you to have it before you can get it
It's not possible
mhhhhh
You lose your rank in that GC, and you can't use your seals
I mean you have to start over if you move
To a fresh one
Ka derp, I worded it so wrong
what should i spend poetics on at cap?
you also can't use gear from your previous gc
what would be faster for 3.3m mettle: a Dalarian run vs non-boosted fate/CE camp?
what ever class you want to work on
u mean armour?
yes
ok well how do i do it?
talk to the personnel officer of the grand company you want to switch to
We got a kupobot for it?
i give you an example when i got my paladin to 70 i went to kugane to get my 70s gears
Hello! Is there a list somewhere I could read about which jobs share gear with other jobs ?
All healers, all tanks, all magic dps, all ranged dps share gear with the respective roles
fending = gunbreaker, paladin, warrior, dark knight
maiming = dragoon and soon to be reaper.
striking = monk and samurai
scouting = ninja
aiming = dancer, bard, machinist
casting = red mage, summoner, black mage
healing = white mage, scholar, astrologian and soon to be sage
That's great, thanks for the help !
do I need just shadowbringers or base game + shadowbringers (steam trial currently) ?
Base + shb
for accessories ninja shares aiming with the physical range jobs, and dragoon shares slaying with monk and samurai
thanks, also, if I buy it now, but don't use codes until later (finish trial msq ect) when will month sub start?
when I buy it or activate codes on mog station
When you register, the clock starts ticking. So don’t until you’re ready
the 30 days free start when you apply the code to your mogstation
nice, thanks!
is there a way to solo the duty finder dungeon because there is like 3 teams recruiting and i have yet to find a team?
Which dungeon?
stone vigil
It's a dungeon in the Leveling Roulette, so people will join eventually
which classes are divided into what? i heard there is a queue for dps, healer, and tank, i want to play a supporting kind of role as dancer or bard, but do those fall under healer queue or dps queue?
the queue status indicator only shows people who are queued for that specific dungeon, not roulettes
dancer and bard are both dps
Dancer and Bard are fully DPS
its for the msq
Guys a question... I wanted to know if the pvp is active or no, i went from wow and i love pvp hahaha
whats the fastest way to level from 72 to 80?
It's not all that active
You can do it, but it's not something most people even dabble in
conjurer is the class i want for healer classes right
So More concern in pve
im making my char rn
PvP is a thing, Feast isn’t active
yep, Conjurer is the only starting class that is a healer
Thx
you could also go arcanist, which goes into scholar at lvl 30
But people occasionally do Frontline and Rival wings
there's two main healer classes right
3
3
3
oh
astrologian, scholar and white mage
Astrologian
Soon to be 4
what are the differences for them
im looking for a healer that isnt solely focused on just heals
and can kinda do some other support stuff as well
whether thats buffing debuffing shields whatever
So a shield healer?
Astrologian if u want to play the hardest healer
All of them are not 'only' healing I would say
Healers are green DPS, you spend a large amount of your time DPSing regardless of which one you pick. But AST has buffing teammates' damage as a core mechanic so you might like that the most
Astrologian buffs the party with his cards for example, scholar got a fairy and white mage is... A 'normal' healer I would say with a little bit of damage
i am currently at lvl 47 and my next MSQ is at lvl 49, whats the best source of EXP?
You get Astrologian in Heavensward, it starts at lvl 30
You can't be an Astrologian until you're quite a long way into the game
I don't have any experience with scholar, soooo if nobody can help you, you might look it up
oh what class leads into astro
None
Best source of exp is to do the highest level dungeon available to you, and your duty roulette, and msq
@lyric rapids
oh do you just straight up change classes into astro, instead of classes leading into each other
unlock the level 47 dungeon Aurum Vale and run it several times. Do FATEs while in queue
There are some classes which lead into each other, some don't
If you want to be a healer from the word go, Conjurer. Scholar you can get relatively early
Astro is one of them
You just grab the class. Astro starts at level 30.
i see, so if i want to play a healer i shoiuld just pick conjurer and eventually ill get to swithc to astro
Yes.
Conjurer = Healer from the start
Scholar = goes from arcanist, can go into summoner (dps) or scholar
Astro = first available in Heavensward
Just to make things clear you can play every single class/job in the game on one character.
oh
Ye
So you can be all of them if you want to.
its one of those dynamic class systems
where you can just switch
instead of being locked in
If you pick warrior you can later be astro for example
Conjurer = healer from the start. Scholar = healer after a couple of days. Astro = healer after a couple of weeks

You can play EVERY class
You can switch at anytime in the open world and in towns, but not in dungeons, trials, raids.
That’s how FF works
Yeah the way classes work is, if you equip a wand you're a conjurer. If you then equip an axe instead, bam, you're a marauder now
(level tracked separatly for every class except for summoner/scholar which share)
Will the level boost items change to 80 when endwalker launches?
They level together.
Is it better for whm to wear a shield in zadnor?
Since their equip gets sync to 430
It technically is, but you won't notice the difference most of the time
Hmm okay thanks!
Kinda, but your one handed wands will also have lower stats as a result
Are class quests connected to their starting areas? For example I want to start Gridania because I like how it looks but I want to play Gladiator or Marauder. Is it alright if I start with a Gridania class and then change class and stay in Gridania ?
yep its fine
Perfect, thanks !
uhh is catcuar a fine pick for my home world
but you'll need to wait til lvl 15 before you can actuallt go there
idk the culture of the different worlds
i hear some are more rp focused some are more focused on the battle parts etc
does it really matter
no
Imo no.
it's too bad sargatanas is full i have a friend on there
and that world has exp bonus
Cataur would probably have longer queue times now tho
if you aren't on the same world you can't be in the same fc/guild
unfortunate
you can spam refresh and hope
my friend said if i can get onto sargatanas i can live in his house apparently
it is 5am eastern so it's pretty off-peak atm
how long until i get the rested EXP or how does it work??
it's a bonus applied to exp gained
kill enemies, get 100% bonus exp until it runs out
Basically you gain it whenever you are in a sanctuary (safe area) like a town.
do i have to like log off for a certain amount of time?
Stand in the general vicinity of an aetheryte to accumulate rested exp, works even when logged in
You can tell you're in a sanctuary because there will be a crescent moon at the right side of your exp bar
you still can get some exp even log out too
just be close to it
finaly the quest for the soul for the rogue gee
does iron jaws refresh my dots with my current buffs or refresh the dots with the buff i i applyed before
Where do I buy level 70 poetic tomestone weapons?
Umm.. So long as you have the moon symbol next to your xp bar, It's enough. Vicinity is a bit ambiguous
Could only find the armour
it's the person to your right, behind the same counter
Eschina
is there anything good to buy for rowena's tokens?
just old weapons for glamour
and no katanas for glamour :c
if i missed rs i dont refresh it why ?
even if you miss raging strikes, you should refresh your dots when they're under 3s
yaah im doing that
but sometimes i got buffs from party like ast or dancer
and im refreshing it
thanks tho : )
ive been refreshing for a bit but doesnt look like sargatanas is gonna free up anytime soon
guess i just go with cactuar
some one help me on this i thought and i have ninja unlocked but still no soul stone so where is the thing ??? this is getting me very very annoyed
guys i wanna start ff14 but i dont know if i should play it on steam or should i just download the launcher from their site? is there any difference?
if you buy from steam you are foreever stuck buying expacs via steam going fwd.
nvm sorry i found it
also game is less on sale on steam
but they have sales as well .
it was in my inv insted of my armory
if you are a steamer, then no issues. but if you dont use steam alot, then id go via SE site
are cosmetics generally locked behind microtransactions
not really
does this unlock anything?
that unlocks the housing district of shirogane
There are some cosmetics you have to pay for but a whole load of cosmetics you can get in game
find a repair merchant, they're indicated by a hammer icon on the map
you can still repair at a repair NPC, even if they're 0%
hammer icon okay
if you want some upgrades, vendors in any of the main cities sell jewelry too
Does the buff from commercial survival manuals apply to quest and deliveries xp rewards?
i dont know what to upgrade yet
no
any accessories that give STR are appropriate for you, as a WAR
below level 50, the stats are accessories are minimal so don't stress about it too much
alright thank you
what does heart mean?
on market board
thats nice, thx
Someone added it to their wishlist
oh xD
You can find it on the lower left hand side of the MB window as a heart button
hello everyone, i'm a returning player and i finally finish msq shadowbringers andi have green 510 gear and swimming in allegory tombstone
i'm a little lost what to sdo at lvl 80
is there a guide reviewing lvl 80 content ?
If you have exarchic gear you can exchange allegory tomestone for crystalline rain
Then crystalline rain + exarchic item = augmented 520 version
oh nice thank you
This is the NPC you're looking for
The augment system is.. an absolute UI clusterfuck
Can i do anything with triple triad duplicate cards?
Sell for MGP

Poggers!

Too many pins xd
is there a setting to bring the game up when your duty pops while your alt tabbed
Some of the dutys I have to do for the main quesat are 28+ min que times
and ive missed a few being alt tabbed
I don't think so without using quick launcher, but you can set system sounds to play while alt tabbed so you can hear the noise at least
Also, in terms of content to do there's the weapons quest line, bozja and Eden raids
ok i have to exchange my gear to certificate and then use certificate to create augmented version
should i choose aether primal or crystal?
if i want to choose equipment for WAR i have to focus on Strength number than defense right?
Plus crystalline rain which you buy from the same vendor with allegory
ok seems a little clusterfuck indeed
Make sure you've got enough rain before you trade the items in for certificates
Beast tribe is bad xp for combat classes right?
unless youre in endgame already, in general, item level is the most important stat when comparing gear. higher item level is generally a better item.
no
the expansion beast tribe quests are quite decent for combat jobs
ARR beast tribes are kind of meh because they don't scale
depends on the tribe. i used the turtle and snake people from SB to level my 60s and the one combat one in ShB gives like a 1/3rd of your bar for all three quests.
Gotcha, so only ARR are ass
Good to know
alright
Yeah tbh end game gear vendors are a UI mess
Lvl 60-70 combat tribes are ananta and kojin right?
yep
I'm pretty sure Pixies are absolutely the fastest exp/time 71-80
The quests take like 5 minutes max and give you a massive chunk
They are but they're also a bit of an exception cos their exp is boosted since there's only 1 combat tribe for shb
the irony with the pixie quest being that about half of their quests dont even involve fighting despite being the "combat tribe"
can you add subcription with crysta?
is FATEs the best way to get the 60 memories needed for the second step for your ShB relic?
Is that the 20/20/20 colored ones?
yeah
if you're gonna be in bozja anyway, do bozja. if you hate bozja and just want shiny, do fates because iirc it's faster?
Will i be able to transfer my chactacter from crystal to the OCE region that there addin later this year
The best way is an organized cluster farm in bozja
pretty much done with Bozja with exceptions to the delbrum at this point
you get more stuff in bozja anyway
can i purchase things from the online store via crysta as well?
so you might as well
they've given free transfers before when they released new datacenters/changed the location.
the fates are boring as hell but pretty much gauranteed
Fates are second, then third is bozja without a group
@twilit arch awesome thanks
one good thing with the fates is you can also farm for HW anima at the same time, but ive heard a lot of people say that farming bozja is faster if you can find a party to do it.
so most likely will have that as well once the OCE datacenters are released
like clothes and stuff? yeah.
as in in-game clothes
They'll be classified as New Servers anyways, so you'll be able to transfer to them for free and get some bonuses as well
i dont know about any physical goods. probably not.
If you get a solid cluster farming group in bozja you're literally generating hundreds of cluster per hour and probably ~30 memories per hour
Is it more desireable to be on a high pop server or low pop server (not data center)
Fates cannot compete, at all.
primal, crystal, or aether?
whats the best way to grind MGP after I've done challange log?
really doesn't matter, crystal has a bit more RP if you're into that sort of thing
Have you done this week's FR?
60k for 5 minutes of effort
yeah
is there anything else thats good mgp, I want to grind it out for the fenrir mount
atm best ive found is the woodchopping minigame
and events
hey, new here, I'm currently playing the FF14 free trial through it's own launcher, if I now purchase the FF14 online complete edition on steam, am I able to log into my account still through the steam launcher?
I think once you've done challenge log and fr, that's pretty much it
-
Is it possible to recruit my friend after he has made a character? he is already level 15.
-
Is the chocobo the only mount that can fight in combat?
-
Yes. My friends and I only started using our recruit-a-friend code after we bought the game despite already being in HW through the trial.
-
Yes.
Where can he use my recruit a friend code? @fast talon
I'm honestly not very sure, but based on this page it seems it should be possible. https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&la=1&kid=70905
Would it be too big of a dps deincrease if I would use the 2 seated whale mount to drive us around?
By not using chocobo
if youre mounted the chocobo wont be around to fight anyway. and then it respawns when you unmount regardless of what mount you were using.
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/friend_recruit/ check the instructions at the bottom
hm i tried to look for it on mogstation where you input the code but i guess because i was already "recruited" the option is gone for me
Hey, I am new and wondering if it is possible to reduce the size of the minimap icons?
Will the new jobs be avalible before the launch of Endwalker, like a pre-patch or something?
where can i get the thavnarian powder for the relic first step weapon?
it'll be available during early access
one of the vendors in idyllshire, the one in the middle
of the building in the center
oh okay ty
oh is it also in mor dhona? i always just use idylshire cause the wondrous tails are there too
not to mention all the anima stuff
can also buy it from the reps in the 3 starting cities/ishgard
I just got the expansions, ended at l 60 with both Dragoon,DarkK and White mage, do you think that I should use DK for faster progerss and lower waitt imes?
so basically almost any of rowena's vendors other than kugane/reach
mhm
thats your call to make if you really want fast queue times
i would go with whichever you find more fun
Well, I like playing DK
up to you, but personally would do the bulk of msq with dragoon if you enjoy it since drk/whm can do dungeon spam easily
White Mage is a bit stressful during the large boss fights xd
thats a good tip
well dps will go through the msq battles faster I guess
Can the size of the icons within the minimap be changed?
Does stormblood have a theme job to play as, like in heavensward did with Dragoon?
I am searching and cant find my guardian corps boots which i bought on the mogstation- i used /isearch and could find anything- is there a place i can get them again?
you'd have to contact support and make use of your one time restore
wait is there no NPC in game that can give it back??
i looked at the recompense and calamity salvager- are they not supposed to be there? also how could one possibly be rid of a piece bought on the mogstation? is the discard button not disabled?
they're only there if you did the event
oh well... i guess i'll try that- thank you.
Could you just tell me how to contact them?
should be an option in the support desk
are dancers separate classes or are they advanced versions of a class
er rather do you lead from a class into dancers
dancer is a job, it has no base class
ah so whenever i unlock the level requirement or quest or whatever for it i can just go into it
thats good to know thx
mhm
Only harassment, cheating, bug report and suggestions- does it fall under bug report?
hmm
https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&la=1&kid=68222 =_= isn't the most helpful but it says to search the database for "how to contact a gm"
what is direct chat?
lets you start chatting without having to hit enter
generally useful for controller users
not so much for keyboard/mouse
can i add a friend of mine to a squadron mission ? or is it jsut bots only ?
just npcs

what does this actually do?
Shadowbringers on Steam contains all the previous expansions up until most recent right
its your tank stance
it has stormblood it in, you need to buy the starter edition (which is a realm reborn+ heavensward) if you don't own that as well
ok ok, then thats fine
hello all good morning ! does any1 know a good rotation for lv.50 red mage?
you press it once at the beginning of th edungeon (make sure it's on either way) and then go whale.
Hi i just started and am in character creation, i need to pick a class but i would like to be a ninja when its available, which one should i pick?
(makes sure that all the mobs are focused on you)
pick whatever is aesthetically pleasing! stat differences on races don't matter
any is fine. you just need get to lvl 10, do the class quest for your starting quest and go to the rogue trainer.
its 1 character can play all jobs.. so pick anything
arcanist or maruader both start in limsa
in this case, you might want to pick a class that starts in the rogue city, arcanist or marauder
^
yeah, anything in lims alominsa
ah okay thanks!#

so would recommend chosing one of those so you can get rogue once you hit lvl 10 and complete your lv10 class quest
explore a little and you'll be able to find the rogue guild eventually
^ otherwise have to wait till you get to level 15 main story
in what area do people usually farm the memories of the dying?
sorry, could you explain how it works? thanks
when you have that on, all of your skills have increase aggro generation
So you keep the mobs attention on you
and not your party
Yeah the mobs attack the person with most aggro
is it a toggle?
the game calls it emnity but its all the same thing. emnity = threat= aggro
It is a toggle
its a toggle yea.
keep in mind that it sometimes turn itself off when you sync and instance
in 8 man parties, if you're not the one main tanking
only when there are multiple tanks yea
can turn it off for a bit so you don't steal aggro
^ otherwise it becomes unpredictable to the healers on who will take a lot of damage and stuff
it's recommended you have it on for a little bit afterwards though, just so you have enough to be second on the list - that way if main tank dies, a poor dps doesn't get clobbered
but can put it back on later on the fight incase something goes wrong
and the MT dies, you'll have aggro
or hopefully have aggro
you can see if you will on the list
okay thanks!
one more question, im lvl 15, i heard there was a class quest at lvl 10
how do i access it?
Go to your class guild
And talk to the teacher
Also the class quests should be appearing under the main story tracker in the top left and can find it there
Also don't neglect those, very important
ooo
Gotta do it anyway
always do those when you see them by the way
they're important, and when you level other classes you'll have them for those too
^ really good
I guess calisaie already said so 
Your job, skill, gear, systems like the hunting log which is good for leveling, all locked behind class/job quests
it means i cant get exp anymore?
You won't get the bonus xp for doing the roulette. You still get the XP from whatever content it puts you in
Aka it's not worth doing again
okay thankyu
if you want to level, do the highest dungeon you can at the time on your class
(assuming it's not 50/60/70 because those don't give much exp because it assumes you're at level cap for the expansion)
hello, how easy is it to create and level up your free company if i have a group of 5-8 friends playing together?
or is it better if we try to join existing ones?
the benefits at rank 8 seems to be very good
some of us have just reached stormblood
level 70 ish
the rest are heavensward level 60ish
creating your own fc is pretty easy, just need 3 signatures and 15k gil
how about leveling it?
you'll level that naturally just by playing
Anyone here knows if the 3rd retainer is account wide?
yes
does road to 70 apply to doh/dol?
yes
wow that’s wild. is there a good guide to leveling them most people use?
i cant buy the full version on steam if my account region is japan can i?
Hi guys does anyone have tips for finding an FC?
is there a way to get a mount early? walking takes ages
unfortunately nope. mount unlock at lvl 20 MSQ. alternatively, your friend can uber you
I do
msq?
Main Scenario/Story Quest
Main Story Quests
But it's also a RMT site so I am unsure if I can link here, it has good leveling guide tho
Do tell me if you want the link @abstract parcel
since im lvl 15
i was level 30 til i got the horse
yea. should be close. theres like another 2 or 3 dungeons and you'll be there
take note that its the MSQ level, your own level doesnt really matter
ahhh
lvl 15, you should be doing the envoy quest or the pirate dungeon
So does that mean if I play on Tonberry, my character in Kujata also gets the items from the 3rd retainer?
is there a way to disable the quest accept/complete sounds lol
^
Mute game basically
Cause I was thinking of leveling 1 80 DoW/DoM and 80 CUL just to get the allowances for Coffee Biscuit to get "passive income" so to speak
Usually ppl ask trusted friend to transfer to alts
Yeah, guess that is the go-to
Thanks all!
If its under same DC that is
Yup yup
hey sorry i missed that ping but i would check out that link
Question about tank burst rotation:
say no mercy is coming up in 15 seconds and my oGCDs are up and my cartridge combo is up as well
do I just save those for No mercy?
holding ogcd or anything for 15 seconds is not a good idea
so just use my abilities every time they're up?
are these blue quests important?
definitely fit as much as you can in your burst window; just not at the cost of delaying or overcaping
unless of course No Mercy is up in 5 seconds then I think I should definitely wait it out
even 5 sec is too long …
gnb has a lot of 30, 60 and 90s cooldowns iirc, so when you use everything asap they will reallign every now and then
they indicate that they unlock something so for the most part, yes you should do them. That said you can usually skip the ones called "So you want to be x" (class unlocks) or "Leves of X" (leves are basically like repeatable quest but aren't very good for combat classes)
are you doing the proper gnb rotation? i dont main it but sounds like there’s some drifting problem there
I'm only level 70(overleveled) without the Continutation skill yet so I only have 68 below skills
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
Go do your job quests
I can't beat the level 70 quest yet
Continuation is your best skill
It expects near level cap gear for level 70 you can buy with silver choco feather at calamity salvager if you were recruited or you can buy with poetics in rhalgrs/kugane after beating stormblood
Hey, i'm actually level 50, unless i misunderstood, when i'll finish the quest to become an astromancer, i'll be level 30 right ?
Or you can set it to very easy after failing once
yes
No shame in going the very easy due to the gear scaling
Ok ty !
You'll still be level 50 in your old job though
Is setting up mogstation orchestrion rolls on personal houses for gil against ToS?
Fly is unlocked in ARR zones when you finish ARR (2.0)
Ok ty for your quick answer !!

Hello guys, I am currently playing on a free trial account. If when I reach lvl 60 I buy the starter edition and then shadowbringers (to get all expansions) do i get both months of sub included with them or they don't stack? Thank you all in advance
you only get 30 days free from the starter edition
shadowbringers doesn't come with game time
Why don't you buy the complete edition anyway
Isn't the starter edition practically the same as the free trial except without trial limitations like you can use chat outside of dungeons and use retainers
You only get sub time for buy the base game, dlc doesn't count
Ok ill buy complete edition then
my job class quest is telling me to goto camp drybones but my msq is still in central thanalan, do i still goto camp drybones or should i do msq until it takes me there
Did some quick calculations and I could save like 5-6 euros if the sub period stacked from both starter edition and shadowbringers, but noticed now that as kaelwryn said that shadowbringers does not come with 30 days of sub
How safe is it to play copyrighted music as a bard?
either way is fine
basically don't make a video and upload it to something like youtube and you're fine
Is there a webpage that lists all the glamours? Like let's say I want to see all the head pieces available for All Classes.
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/ sorta? they have a list of all gearsets but it's slightly outdated
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamours is one of the more comprehensive screenshot lists
Thank you!
ok tyyt
I just started the 3.1+ content, how long does that take?
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Head is also an option for it
That one has over 2 thousand items, which also include job-specific ones 😅
I'm sure if you filter out job-specific ones it'd cut it in at least half :p
most of the all class head gear is gonna be in the Level 1 category
There's also https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model but I'm not sure the last time this was updated
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/gearsets?filter[orderBy]=patch&filter[showGear]=hd&filter[showFemale]=0&search=&filter[job][]=pld&filter[job][]=war&filter[job][]=drk&filter[job][]=gnb&filter[job][]=whm&filter[job][]=sch&filter[job][]=ast&filter[job][]=mnk&filter[job][]=drg&filter[job][]=nin&filter[job][]=sam&filter[job][]=brd&filter[job][]=mch&filter[job][]=dnc&filter[job][]=blm&filter[job][]=smn&filter[job][]=rdm&filter[job][]=blu&filter[job][]=crp&filter[job][]=bsm&filter[job][]=arm&filter[job][]=gsm&filter[job][]=ltw&filter[job][]=wvr&filter[job][]=alc&filter[job][]=cul&filter[job][]=min&filter[job][]=btn&filter[job][]=fsh&filter[gender][]=male&filter[maximumLvl]=80&page=1
This page allows pretty flexible filters, so I could filter to all jobs, male, head only.
That url though
Yes but I'm like 99% sure that complete edition comes with everything so far while starter only comes with ARR and HW
It's with all the filters applied, sorry 😅
Lol it's fine, it's something I laugh about when I see the end result. FFlogs has it too when you do lengthy queries on the front end
Oh, it actually only ends up with like 20 results...
Exactly my thoughts lol
Yeah, the only way buying starter was worth was if shadowbringers came with another 30 days of sub when you register it, but it's not the case so it is worthless
Morning. I've just joined a company. And gotten the chocobo quest. How do I actually ear seals to buy it? and raise my rank?
I am stumped
Complete edition Is literally identical to starter edition + shadowbringers separately
I know
ok I'll do
So as a warrior, what stat is most important
Is there a reason the Pagos Field Dressing is so expensive
people don't do eureka much
does it matter what difficulty i select?
No
Easy gives you +50% HP and damage
Very easy is extreme baby mode but no chance in difference
Very Easy gives you double damage and HP
so i just do easy because its faster
sure
It only appears if you constantly fail a solo instance so lesser skilled players can actually do the story
Does anyone know?
You want the highest ilvl gear you can get, then for substats you wanna make sure you got enough skill speed for 5 fell cleaves, after that its Crit>Det>Tenacity
bless
Thanks
The only time I'd say you need to lower the diff is for a very specific story instance in post SB
because its bullshit otherwise
Is it just me or is it pretty hard to gain Skybuilders' Scripts? I just finished leveling Botanist & Miner from 50 to 80 and all I got from thousands of mats was like 6.5K scripts?
umm... how does subscription via Crysta work?
6.5k scrips is a pretty decent amount
The mounts cost like 8.4K... i was hoping I'd be able to buy at least 1 from leveling up my gatherers
1 crysta is 1 cent...so yoy just add the required amount of crysta to your account and use that
oh ok o.o
Heyo, I started playing yesterday and after reaching lvl 17 i switched class to lancer and now im kinda stuck at lvl 6 and i dont know how to lvl,Any tips? I cant do the main quest :/
Do your hunting logs
you'll need ~3.2k grade 4 resources to get 8.4k scrips on average
since every 5 rewards 13 scrips at the highest tier that isn't timed
!faq altlvlguide
daily roulettes (maybe you have leveling and guildhests unlucked?) and then do leves
Can't roulettes under 16
how do i unlock ninja
The hunting logs are a good start, followed by leves and FATEs
Ah, i read that wrong then, i thought he was a lv 17 lancer now
If you unlocked palace of the dead, that can get you sorted for a while
The rate is far higher for higher level items
So hunting logs is my option? i will check out what that is
I think gathering is pretty bad for scrips by itself anyway
Press H
Each class has its own hunting log to complete
There's also one for the grand companies later on
Alright i will try that
Leves are repeatable quests that you can do as well
What's the fastest way to xp my freshly created astromancer pls ?
Am I only able to get one blade of lost antiquity per week?
!faq altlvlguide
I think they lifted that Nick
ty !
Savage tokens I'm not sure
Savage is fully unlocked
When I got it it had a message about loot reached until reset which made me wonder
Normal mode blades are still locked
I assume you mean ||the soroban fight w/ tatatru & genbu?||
You don't need to lower the difficulty of any solo duty lmao, they're all very easy
dang it, ty. I've been playing long enough to grab them each week, didnt realize I needed them till today though 
yeah, but that fight has me shiver,
||tataru|| behaves worse than a boosted sprout in that fight :C
The only reason you would is either a) you didn't understand it (this is fair, sometimes the mechanics are kind of poorly explained b) you're trying to do them in awful gear
But if you actually know what you're supposed to do.. and you're not in bad gear.. they aren't difficult
is there a way to disable the game making me say I'm not ready during a ready check if I'm doing a fate?
you could just let them know in party chat?
so i'm reaching the end of SB and for a while now i've wanted to go for the kamuy mounts once i get the chance but i was wondering, is it advised to go for them once you've completed SHB since it will be a lot easier or is it not too hard?
maybe once you've hit 80 at least
:/
you'll still need to do a few mechanics since the level gap isn't that huge
Are there any good ways to level a FC w/o GC seal turn ins?
friend of mine wanted to make their own & now wants to get actions asap, while being fresh outta ultima.
should I just farm arr EXs w/ them for the 500-ish seals per 2 minute?
dungeons take too long for too little at their point.

hey guys im new here ! is there a channel for timeworn map portal hunt?
the centurio discord has a channel for it,
tho it's mostly just zonureskins, tho if you make a Party Finder for it, it should fill reasonably.
(just be aware if you choose treasure hunt on PF it locks the "only search on world" option)
ahh thats why its harder to find ppl on pf
Is there a way to transfer from SE trial account to steam?
Buy the game on steam and put the code in mogstation
is this something you can only get in the savage version of delbrum?
it's blurred out tho
"Enter Registration Code"
pf not easy for timeworns
It shares the windows slot
Yes, law order is only savage
lately i've found it really hard to get through the story of SB but i'm really close to the first end credits now. does SB get better towards the end?
ye, my advice is to use none so you search on all worlds & just remake the party before digging for the chest.
Post patch SB is much better than 4.0, imo
Opinion: it doesn't get better until the first credits.
Post is definitely better though
i see , thanks for the tip!
What’s so bad about SB
guessing because it bridges to SHB
i think it could have been made a litte bit more interesting imo
Post SB was cool for me
It's all subjective and a topic for #general-discussion
hi, I have one more question. Will you be able to use third party app like the discord overlay on a steam account?
Basically, 4.x focuses on the best SB characters and is just tighter in general
Subjective but yeah sometimes it’s boring but stick at it

@celest snow just a TW for after the trial ||w/ zenos|| if you dislike self-harm stuff.
ye
"TW"?
trigger warning
Most shocking violence for me was at end of post HW tho
me too
after sloppeh?
it's up there
i just saw someone floating... how?!
Hey morning guys, I was wondering if someone could help me with my dps ui/hud layout and how to set up my monk hotkey. I’m a returning player I just want optimize for end game raid and just improve my play. Any images of other people will be very helpful as well. Also Don’t worry about rotations.
if they had a weird name (looking like keymash) most likely a bot cheating.
Omega emote
^ only if they had a shining sword / spear as well as floating
bot is plausible as well, way too many of those teleporting around
If they looked like a distinctive player then it prolly wasn’t one lol
we got no details, so all is plausible :)
Anyone else having issues connecting to servers? NA-Diablos
anyone got anything on this?
about to just unsync ultima ballad or garuda w/ them & grind it out.
In terms of armor, are there specific variants for most classes, or are there mainly just a few “categories” of armor, like cloth/armor/etc for later game? And is there a list of classes with overlapping armor types, since I’m planning or making two characters?
most armour is role based
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
server status says diabolos is up.
check if your isp is experiencing issues I guess
but each specific job gets an "artifact" set every level expansion, which is basically the canonical look for that job
.. why do you plan to make two characters?
Because I’d want to, lol
generally alts are not common in ffxiv
I
because you can play everything on a single character
I'd do it just to look pretty with another race
I'm sticking to Lalafell (hopefully) with this one
guys i tried asking many ppl on game and checked reddit but still kinda lost .. i made a mistake and bought realm reborn msq , and im lvl 30 now i only opened the dragoon class and place of dead not knowing how to progress and whats more confusing there is literally side quests every where XD
you can ignore any quest that isn't

I'm trying to check my ping for ff14 by using the resource monitor, but there's 2 connections showing for ff14 with different pings? which one do I look at xD
reasons for alts: leves (biscuits), other world's marketboard sell prices, retainer or FC workshop items.
nothing a casual would strife to "optimize" for, but it's reasons.
if you don't know what you should be doing, the top left quest tracker is a good place to start
i need to hit 50 to continue msq
and you're a dragoon?
at quest called "coming to ishgard" i think
yes
do all of the roulettes you have available in duty finder, then do potd
i should dungeons roulettes place of the dead till 50 i assume?
potd can make you dislike your job if you do it too much
or not fully grasp it as you can roll over most mobs and bosses
roulettes are the best exp/time, but they're only one per day
like machinist is stupid broken in potd
other than that, as dps potd is probably the best exp/time, but if your queues aren't bad the other option is grinding the highest level dungeon you have access to
how long it takes to lvl a job to max (approximately)
80?
y
msq takes 200 ish hours
it depends on how you're doing it
like, if you're just doing roulettes each day, then stopping, it'll be the lowest playtime, but long time irl
I mean I’d say a couple weeks
Maybe less
If you also do highest level levelling dungeon in spare time
I've been doing levelling daily on my ast every day and I'm at like.. 69? now and I started about a month ago
maybe a bit longer than that
but that's spending no more than 20 minutes a day on it
like I said, literally just levelling queue and out
mm depends on how much time you spend in game and if you do stuff outside of exhausting roulettes
I did mch before that and I think I went 30-71 in less than a week
because I actually grinded
Mmhm yeah
hi a just bought shadowbringers on steam but I dont understand where to find the code to activate it on my account can someone help pls ?
yeah but the thing I dont know where is the code
In your Steam keys
