!faq serverlock
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.
it's not "full", it's just not open to character creation right now
you may be able to get in if you wait until off-peak hours
so try again at 4am or some shit
Ty! 😄
tl;Dr this late into the tier, it's worth taking the crit/sks pieces because the crit substat gives more the more you have while dhit's 25% bonus damage isn't worth as much now
interesting
i don't think the other ranged do that though
cuz I know BRD sockets two sks materia into the weapon
well, without relic that is
heh SMN i think is similiar, 2.47 with relic

cause of the sks tiering
yeah, rdm does that as well
asked the same question why it changed to 2.47, and I got this answer
hey, im a new player and im trying to play on controller, is there any way to make the game auto target another near enemy when your target dies? i just hate that i have to press X to select new target and R3 to lock a camera on it again.
No
what do you choose if 1 of 2 equips has more of the stat prio. but the other equips has 1 of the stat prio but higher ranked stat
still go for the highst ranked stat?
Use right/left dpad or L/R1 while holding triggers to tab through enemies
Auto targeting isn’t really a thing but there’s a targeting shortcut you can use. While holding L2/R2, tap L1/R1. It’ll cycle to the nearest enemy to the left or right respectively.
Means go unlock garuda and Titan hard. Do ifirit hard mode to continue the chain
Even shown stop left
Under the tracker
Go do it
that's useful, thanks
is there any way to at least auto lock camera on my target without pressing R3?
Who here has completed the quest "Annihilation"? What was it like?
refresh me what that quest was
No but lock on is pretty trash since you can't see the rest of the arena easily
many of us have beaten the whole story
maybe can type !quest annihilation, but answer is soooo long lol
It's a quest that is tied to a wyrm that was once an elite mark in final fantasy 12.
!quest annihilation
i can do thjat
A solid plan of action must be devised before facing the Bangaa transformed.

ahhh alliance raid
yes
yeah, it's a long quest chain similiar to sky pirate and crystal tower
do you get a job level boost included in any package of the game when you buy it
to unlock 3 alliance raids, quite important since it' the requisite for SHB relic
No, it's a separate purchase
There's no reason to include a boost
ty
im dumb is that a trial or dungeon
Trial
i dont have it in my duty finder
In for a garuda Awakening just unlocked it for you
based on previous year's make it rain events, how much were mgp items discounted? also do you think triple triad cards will be included
oh im dukmb
when a certain server is locked of making new characters on it, does that happen only to trial accounts or all

okay nice thanks
Is anyone else having trouble connecting to the game, or is it just my dumb internet?
where do i get my lvl 30 job?
!faq 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.
Does this game have events and if so where can I keep up to date with them? A few of other games I play are starting to roll out their summer events and I'm having fomo I don't wanna miss anything for this game :P
is there a way to turn off the regional rule in triple triad? I thought I heard someone say that there's a way, but I can't find anything about it
yes, there's a pin with rough timeline of upcoming events
Schedule In pins and lodestone has news posts when they happen
Thank you sm! :)
are we supposed to use the teleporters as a main way of travel or are they more of a lavish expense if you're short on time?
Yes you are
The cost is negligible
Unless you're legit broke as all hell for whatever reason
msq usually covers teleport costs for the most part
unless you're like buying a lot of other stuff for some reason
If I register for a duty and am in queue can I change classes to say work on a DoH class? Or do I have to stay in that job the entire queue time?
Does Fantasia reset your race to, just got it from a quest?
you can switch jobs, yes
just need to switch back to the one you queued as before you can accept it
You can change race yes
Yes you can change your race with it
Thanks"!
Is it worth running PoD during levelling or only for alts?
Well you need a dedicated group for that, since it's pasted the instance matching floors
It is...just extremely challenging to do
Ah
is the glamour system basically transmog?
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
thanks
is there a guide for ff14 abbreviations li8ke what ogcd and gcd is etc
not that i recall
but you can ask here
gcd = Global CoolDown
oGCD= off global cooldown
what are ogcd?
I'd need to check Hall of Novice, I could've sworn I saw SOME kind of guide there.
400 in the dresser
.
Off - Global Cooldown means "Not affected by the 2.5s cooldown"
So you can use them in between your weaponskills / spells
ahhh
Does phoenix open regularly? My friend has been waiting the whole day to create his character on it and its still the only closed server on the region
like the buffs
like 400 helmets, 400 chestpieces etc. or 400 pieces total?
i see i see, thank you!
Total
kk thx
The Global Cooldown is the time between when you can use most skills/spells, which is usually 2.5 seconds. When someone says oGCD, they're talking about a skill/spell that can be used without having to wait for the global cooldown to pass.
It opens when people aren't online
So late at night/early morning
probably been asked a few times today already, but, anyone know when this year's make it rain campaign starts? According to a graphic I have, it was supposed to start 7th of July, so, yesterday.
Same with any temporary character lock
okk thanks alot guys
Found this and its not bad: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Acronyms
The number on the schedule isn't the date
It's the month
and delivery moogle doesnt have it either
@leaden ginkgoIt can take a while for mogstation items to show up, it's not unusual.
ah okay
@leaden ginkgoI'd give it a few hours max before you start to get concerned.
sometimes it takes me ages to get something off mog station. There is a button, however, in the mailbox, that you can click to update, look at this screenshot below, also, sometimes logging out and back in can speed up delivery times. It's the button called "reward/purchase delivery request"
Is fantasia real money or in game
real money, they're expensive too haha
how much?
$10
I think 1 is about 10 quid give or take
If you buy them in packs of three there's a discount though
The only free Fantasia is the one you get as a reward for completing the 2.0 MSQ. There is another one available if you buy the Heavensward Collector's Edition upgrade through the Mogstation, but that does cost money so while it's an additional reward, I wouldn't say it's free.
if i use the fantasia potion to edit my character, does it have to be in the next log in, or whenever i want?
Whenever
I forget how, but you can also cancel out your free 2.0 completion fantasia somehow. I think it's if you do the CE upgrade for HW before completing 2.0, don't remember though. I do remember I only got one
You need to be naked to change your look however
what do you mean? i have to remove all my gear before using the potion?
Before using this item, you must remove all equipment and accessories save for your main hand. Please note that certain pugilist arms must also be removed in order to use this item.
Hairstyles purchased in-game or obtained as rewards cannot be used during character creation.
Is dancer health just super low or am I doing something wrong? I did the lv 63 class quest and got slammed by the two enemies in it and only barely beat it by a last minute dance
Did you upgrade your gear
I don't recall having any difficutly, but you should check to see if your item level is lacking.
If you're still using the starting gear it's too low at 63
when mining is the chance of getting the good version capped at 15% regardless of your Perception?

I'm unsure of your question. Are you asking if the chance of gathering a High Quality version of an item can go no higher than 15%?
It's capped at 15% without Bonuses or skills
I think gear is mostly 61 but I'll go broke if I buy a fill set every couple levels
Can BLU learn abilities through the Carnival?
Yes
Ah, is it considered non-synced guaranteed rate?
It doesn't care where you learn it, just have the targrt cast the thing
And do I have to complete all acts of the mission to get the ability?
Hi, can I ask a noob question?
Time to spam the first act for snort, then.
so, what are u supposed to do if your main quest is 2 lvls higher than yours
should I just camp the fate challenge?
Daily roulettes then highest level dungeon spam
I see, I'll look for that. (2 days old player) lol
Running dungeons is usually the fastest way to level, if you've already received the daily bonus from roulettes.
what race do you guys all play
Can you change hairstyles without a micro transaction
Is there a barbershop like wow
Yes
Nice
A quest in limsa I think
Aesthetician is the barber
Cool
Upper limsa unlock
Your equipped gear is too low
To use it as a glamour
Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear
what do i get if i buy endwalker now ?
Xp earrings and minion
Question if I party with a friend is there any EXp nerf for us being in a group? Thank you for helping.
Uh I have a visual bug is there anyway to fix it? I already exit the game and it's still there
The gloves are still there
Despite none equip
its not the gloves, its your weapon
only if there's 10 level difference between you and your friend
in which case you'd earn no exp
but otherwise, nah
Wonderful thank you
wait i'm confused... i just used a friend's referral code, i got the silver feathers, but not the 99 tickets nor the friendship circlet?

You have to buy 30 days of subscription
Does the subscription ever go on sale for a month? Or is it just the base game and expansions that go on sale?
No
60 day time cards can go for sale
But the base game doesnt?
Isnt it $60?
Someone told me it was buy the game for 60 and subscibe every month
Downloading the game now, any suggestion on what server i should join NA? Didn't know if there were ones to avoid, or ones i should look at
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
what are the limitations of free trial? the game will be locked after few days and i can continue only by buying or there is no time limit just level and content? should i buy the base game asap if i like it or i can just play trial until i finish all trial content then buy the game?
The gamr and expansion goes on sale now and then
On sale atm on steam and Green Man gaming
!faq freetrial
ok thank you
whats the best way to lvl from 50 to 70
Can someone post that faq tomestone gear command please?
I forgot its name
!faq gear
!faq poetics
Thanks
Oh wait a minute im retarded, the complete edition has everything and is only $60
Does anyone know if the complete edition will include Endwalker when it comes out this year? Or will it be separate for the first several months?
Can't improve dai ryumyaku to 400 right?
complete edition will be updated to include endwalker when it releases in novemeber
newp
The complete edition will include Endwalker, but don't expect it to go on sale any time soon after Endwalker's release
!faq worldtype
Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.
Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.
Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.
New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.
Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.
Ah ok but i imagine it will be greater than $60 then huh?
Oh shit
Don't wait until endwalker to start the game tho
the pricing pretty much stays the same. 20$ for base game, 40$ for expac
Who cares about sales at that point, they dont even increase the overall cost, take that blizzard
and complete is both of those together in a neat package for 60$
yo, this might be a dumb question but what is the best way to talk to people?
kinda tough I realized
right click on them
I mean i already started, but im a working man so it'll take a while before i cap f2p. Just want more bang for my buck
Unless if the main story up until HW takes until November, I'd just buy the full thing now, or next time it goes on sale
Sorry last question, if i buy the complete edition before endwalker, will i need to pay to buy endwalker, effectively paying more than $60?
you'll have to buy endwalker yes
Bruh das wack
It would be hard to get new players in if they had to pay like $200 for all the expansions. It makes sense.
New areas, new story content, the usual expansion stuff I guess
i like the new classes a lot - kinda sold me on the entire expansion ngl
Wait im getting conflicting answers.... The conplete edition is $60 and includes everything, and it will include endwalker after november. But if i buy the complete edition before november, i will then need to pay again for endwalker? Am i correct?
yes
Complete edition is everything currently
so its a realm reborn, heavensward, stormblood and shadowbringers
when endwalker releases it will be updated to include endwalker
so wait a bit and dont pay 60 twice?
but its not a retroactive upgrade. anyone who bought complete edition now will still need to buy endwalker
so people who buy complete edition after november, will have endwalker included
If you don't think you will clear Heavensward by the time EW comes out , you can hold off or you can take your time lvl'ing other jobs/gatherers and stuff
Heck thats waxk, man, but at least FFXIV F2P is already 50 times larger than a Runescape's P2P, so im already more than satisfied atm
Complete edition will also go on sale for like $25, but it likely won't go on sale for a long time after it's updated to include Endwalker
So really, you're spending an extra $30 if you want to buy the complete edition right now
Basically I can wait and not buy any editions from the base game now. WHen endwalker comes out I buy that and get everything for 60
Ah Yeah i guess i could buy the complete edition on sale
Yeah, but that will require waiting a long time. Also, the current content could take you months to go through before you reach Endwalker content anyway
I have another question, is it a good idea to complete side quests early on?
is it worth doing daily roultte at lv 80 for these?
or is it better to just focus on the main quests
The yellow side quests, you can skip. The blue side quests unlock stuff and are worth doing at your leisure
I think Story Quest and any Blue Quest are the things you do
okay ty
Hey guys
The level 60 cap applies to one job right? So as a f2p player i can potentially spread it out and get all combat and crafting jobs each to 60 before i even buy the game right?
does the make it rain event affect mgp cards?
correct
Level 60 will get you through all HW content
Ok yeah thats totally not wack at all
bleh, I feel like no one would answer this question no matter where i ask
I don't know actually
Sorry not familiar with your topic, I'm still relatively new to game
yes
then no
those are not affected
man
Thanks no one coudl answer me before
it was driving me crazty that both my FC and the other question help discussion gave me no asnwers
what about cards you sell from triple triad?
probably because people didn't know ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Those if i remember correctly do benefit from make it rain
but i am old and don't remember
how do I transfer a non steam trial character to the steam full version?
apply the code from the cd key section of your steam library to your mogstation account
Also, if you transfer to Steam, you need to buy any future content through Steam
I know that, thats fine. the problem I'm having is on mogstation it the steam option on the transfer is greyed out. do I just enter the cd keys on the windows section?
yes
oh okay thank you so much
Whew. Yiazmat took an arrow to the knee. FFXIV's version of it did not take a long time compared to final fantasy 12.
That leaves only one more Alliance Raid left in the Stormblood Expansion. The Orbonne Monastery.
is there a place that has a lvl 70 opener/rotation?
Can someone give a quick rundown/comparison of the healers in FFXIV? Like strengths/weaknesses and playstyle
old alliance raids are on extra easy easy mode now so dont worry bout anything taking long tbh
weskalber on youtube have leveling guides for all jobs
White mage - big heals
Scholar - heals and shields
Astronomer - RNG heals
^ no
But that nothing compares to the Alliance Raids that are to come in the Shadowbringers Expansion which is tied to Nier: Automata
white mage - simple
scholar - healer with a pet, needs to juggle lots of resources but have lots of oGCD heals
ast - healer with a card minigame to buff party attached
and all 3 are viable in any content
You might have luck in "The Balance" discord, its often where players go to find that type of specific information. Usually its for lv80 but sometimes they'll either give you 70 or you can work it out based on 80 rotation easy. Depends on the joob
yo i just got 500 commendations
how do i get the mount?
i went to jonathas but i'm lost
White Mage roughly equivalent to Holy Priest from wow?
achievement rewards are gotten from the achievement menu now
dont need to go to jonathas to claim them anymore
kind of ye
i opened a ticket is it normal to not get email confirmation or anything and is there a way to view my open tickets to see if it actually exists
Hi. I'm another new player looking for some information. Does this game have a tanking/ healing drought? If I play DPS am I going to sit around looking for a group?
yes, its a trinity mmo so dps are always going to be more plentiful than tanks or healers
but dps only takes about 10 or 15 min longer to find a group in most casual content so nw
How bad is it? I don't mind tanking at all. How is doing the non dungeon content as a tank job?
how do i upgrade lancer to next class or whatever it is
!faq 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.
dps queues, in my experience, are usually 15-20mins~
Doing overworld content as Tank, DPS, and healer are equally easy so nothing to worry about there
tho also kind of depends on the time of day
Are tanks or healers more coveted?
wdym
Tanks, roughly - but its pretty even
Okay ty
though tanks do lose out on queues when it comes to alliance raids (24mans)
as there's only 3 tank slots for those
Any content producers to look for to gauge the strengths of different jobs that I should look out for? Looking more for what's strong at end game as I'm interested in raiding
!faq meta
every job is viable
everything is strong as long as you play it well
play what you enjoy
so no one knows if there is a way to check my currently opened ticket
the difference between jobs is like within 5% or something
any "tier lists" online are just opinion
Tier lists don't exist except to be opinionated and dumb idiots
desperius 
I said earlier but truly these jobs couldnt be much more balanced, ESPECIALLY tanks.
Play what you want
And click bait
Right but perhaps someone might give solid breakdown on the style of each job. I'm looking for something to go over while at work tonight.
in-game or on the support site?
support site
so there's no data on what's actually meta? xD
afaik there's no way to do it for the support site
which do i buy gerolt or ironworks weapon?
How easy or hard is the orbonne monastery.
If this vid helped you pick a job lemme know, I wanna judge you on your choice :)
I'm making a game! ► https://twitter.com/NotOnlyNine
Twitch streams ► https://www.twitch.tv/larryzaur

00:00 Intro
01:09 Dark Knight
02:03 Gunbreaker
02:47 Paladin
03:29 Warrior
04:16 Samu...
no but it might take some time to get a confirmation email
In fact, when it comes to tanks the style of each job is even similar still
But also remember that if you level a tank, you now have the gear for EVERY tank so its not even a bad idea to level them all eventually
ironworks
thanks
its been 1 day
used to be real hard but its been nerfed a lot
probably still the toughest alliance raid but thats subjective
old alliance raids are ez now
^
do u recommend me buying the armor first or the weapon first?
any alliance raids are ez but yeah gear scaling and echo kinda kills orbonne 
there's FFLogs so there is some meta but like its not significant enough to warrant following it. Even the higher end raiders go with jobs they enjoy more rather than "whats best"
world first for one of the hardest content, ultimates, had a dark knight in the party when it was considered pretty meh
Weapon, in general your weapon is worth 10 pieces of gear. Its a big difference, your weapon is the one thing you always want to have really high priority
Do servers go by timezones in this game?
dude's reasoning for playing it was "because he likes dark knight"
Ok
adding onto what kael said, Bard's the 'this class is bad' strawman for this expansion and that got a world's first in this expansion's Ultimate fight so
side step from mogstation
And the final boss of said monastery. None other than the second most powerful esper in final fantasy 12, who's ultimate skill can only be unleashed when it and the one who summoned it are HP Critical.
An esper named after the most powerful magic skill in final fantasy history.
you wont see the hard phase of her anymore
hey guys, does anybody know how to disable left click + right click to move forward? cant find anything to turn if off
exactly. and I know why it's called the Zodiac Brave Story.
Does this game have a party/lvl sync of sorts?
level sync
Only in dungeons and fates
Man that sucks
ok if i opened an email support thing and never got any email after 1 day it didnt go through or something right?
And solo instances
In final fantasy 12, there were 13 espers. one for each zodiac sign.
My friend and I are partied and I can help him because my level is too high
Hope they fix that soon

ye i’m inclined to think so too
for buying gear like ironworks gear since i play summoner, but play scholar only in dungeon should i buy gear for my summoner job first or scholar?
Level Sync takes effect inside duties, FATEs, dungeons or trials or what have you. If youre in the overworld, you may need to leave party or switch jobs to a closer one?
Thats just unfortunate
yep and ||ascians are named after scions of light|| 
I dont wanna have to switch jobs to play with my friends
you dont
Im enjoying the one im playing
@crimson gale yea, good question. It's prob hard coded into the game
a higher level job gets synced down
In dungeons and fates
Well I cant play with them because my level is too high
i would probably use the gear given from msq for your smn and use ironworks on the scholar tbh
It says my level is too high to attack the mob
if you all queue for a dungeon you just get your level reduced inside the dungeon
Well we're doing story rn
you need to click level sync
its so annoying sometimes during raids, cant seem to find a way to disable it
that was because you were trying to hit a fate mob 6 levels below you
You must be inside a FATE? Theres a level sync button you have to click to participate
theres a big yellow button
Ah
i see tysm for being so helpful
same, i looked through the whole keybind list, nothing there
Am I meant to be able to buy the scion jacket from the calamity salvager?
only after you've completed the appropriate msq
It's later in the story
and the calamity salvager is realistically only there for you to buy back stuff you've tossed
You haven't done the appropriate msq
its given at the end of heavensward
not ARR
Is there a spreadsheet somewhere with all the faded copies and what they need to convert them? I know the website has all the recipes but with the volume I’m working at that’s like 15 mins minimum of looking at different pages.
Will I get in trouble for useing GShade and/or Advanced Combat Tracker?
Roger
No way!!!! Fran!!!
With ACT, "Dont ask dont tell". Never ever talk about it in-game ever anywhere, and you're totally fine
Nice thanks for clarifying
gshade is just an overlay so its "sanctioned" by yoshi-p himself
as in "i dont care lol it doesnt change the game files"
!daily
does the ingame counter tell also?
Im second storm lieutenant, but I can't rank up anymore. Does any1 know why?
Do squadrons
What are those if I may ask?
level each squad member to 40 was what i was told
Do u know what npc I need to talk to?
The commander guy thing in the barracks
Thnx!
Do challenge logs for more recruits and all
challenge logs?
Yes
this?
Yes that's the challenge log
cool, it rewards seals
Anybody know about controller functions? I hit a snag with something and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it
oh, hidden rewards 😮
Not really hidden
I'm probably gonna realistically need to blame this on the service outage I had earlier, but anyway..
I was trying to queue up for Delubrum, and after about a minute or two of being in it and just waiting in Gangos, I get 90k'd. It happened twice in a row and I'm wondering if anyone else was having that issue in the last hour or so?
never done em so it's hidden for me 
90ks are general connection errors
We've got service via MetroNet, but I dunno who owns them (but it's probably Crapcast)
Faq before it
!faq mount
so if i preorder endwalker, i dont have access to shadowbringers until endwalker comes out, correct?
oneword 😄
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

What’s the best way to level from 47-49
Where do I advance to Warrior? I’m guessing I gotta do more msq’s first?
Daily roulettes and aurum vale
!faq 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.
Alrighty, thanks
i bought shadowbringers along with it, but im not getting an option to redeem it. im confused, did i just waste money? lol
Before I make attempt #3 at getting into Delubrum, will I still be queued if I leave Gangos? I know it's reached by aetheryte shards, but it's not a normally entered duty.
Yes
Oh perfect, maybe I can flee right after
On mogstation, enter expansion code
its not giving me an option to redeem the code since i redeemed endwalker. it says i already have a license
im so confused as how to get this mount. i have the quest but its red now. and i already talked to my company people a bunch
Where is the jumbo cactpot? I'm on the second floor of the gold saucer and can't find it...
around x8.5, y6
above the area with the stage
Just teleport using the aether shard
im a new player so i was wondering if anyone wanted me for the recruit a friend campaign
is it worth leveling trust duty units?
Wait, is there a way to open up more of the gold saucer?
Question: Rank B elites spawn every 5m right?
I dont think I have it all unlocked
no, they're like 5s respawn
Do i need to shout or something to see if any1 found it?
you get an achievement for leveling all of them to 80, and a "glamour" option to give them previous expansion outfits
You can, but it should also tell you in your chat box if you feel its presence nearby.. if you just want to run around for it
if there's no quests on the map then you got everything
can u transfer server from a low pop server to a high pop like gilga
yes
The only servers you can't transfer to are ones labelled as Congested, of which none currently exist.
in terms of passive income, not really.
Doing E1-4N for the first time, the drops can be changed for gear, which ilvl?
there's the garden plots but if you don't have a house they're pretty limited in use.
first tier of eden is i450 gear
Does the endwalker preorder come with a month of sub or smthg or do we need to seperately purchase it
nice, thxs
only the base game has subscription
expansions dont come with game time
Does anyone know how to fix a super-enlarged character tab? 
right-click the top of the UI and it should have an option to change the scaling
you can do that for a majority of windows
for controller just press R3 until it's at the desired scale
is this the new beginners channel ?
#beginner-lounge is the newer one, this one has been around much longer
Whats faster for relic timesworn artifact drop? Reginae o PoTD
100% drop rate?
join a speedrun pf
Ok, is it usable for leveling class?
like 20 mins max per run
no
No
only 80s can go in
80s only
if you dont join a pf it can be upwards of 40 or 50 minutes because people seemingly are incapable of learning their job or using essences
I am kind of newbie in all bozja related content so i dont think ill be good there
For speedrun parties
I came back qfter 5.3 break
You just need your jobs pure essence (easy to farm) and actions that increase damage
its just a slightly tougher alliance raid
Got it
I think i do have some, what would you equip scholar?
you can use aetherweaver for big damage memes
Chainspell and Seraph strike
especially if you use dissipation opener
Of ether kits
6 energy drains under seraph 
Wanna do 30k broils
What are you talking about, is that from the lost finds cache
anything that makes you do more damage is good
in dr savage and duels you have to think more
but in normal stq content
just grab dps increases
Ok i do have atherweaver
Not the rest, how do you get those
I am like rank 13 in bozja
Seraph Strike is rank 15, I think Chainspell is like 20
you need 1 per run
^
also ranking up in zadnor is way faster
so get there in story asap
I unlocked zadnor, but dont know if i can just go there
It's literally just bsf
Yes, be in a bojzan zone
go into dr and then eat the essence
actions stay on your holster between zones and they save
essences go away when you leave dr so you need one per run
And how do you find those speed run parties

Thank vm
hello. i'm leveling my alt job DRK which is currently at level 57. i've done my daily roulette level 50/60/70. is it still worth doing duty roulette:Leveling too? or better run the aery/vault?
leveling is better than 50/60/70
Levelling is the best roulette
omg
do leveling, msq, and alliance
While 50/60 is the second worst
This
No
Don't do 50/60
msq is already at level 60+ so i cant do them with DRK
It's shit
oh
For xp
darn
msq>leveling>alliance
It's only for tomes
yes you can
msq roulette is lv 50
it only has 2 dungeons and theyre both 50
oooh you mean msq roulette
the very long ass one right
yes
praetorium
or castrum
coin flip 
generally better to just avoid it unless you have the time imo
Oh but I asked earlier but no one answered ;-; does ocean fishing in a party grant boosts of any sort? We’re about to start soon since it’s almost 9 lol
but it is great xp
i guess my only problem with leveling is it's more boring
low level = disabled abilities
No
A straight answer! Thank you 
not exact at all
I would love the adjusting worked like Wow and we dont lose skills but yeah
but thats what ive seen
It is what it is
its either you do like 4 damage per hit or have less skills
being synced into sastasha on idk sam with your double midare would feel so weird
like 20 damage for each of them because of scaling
Even then you have more skills then players at sync which make you directly better
That is still better
unless they scale your entire kit to compensate, even the stuff you'd normally have at that level
Id ratther have a 35!! Midare than having only the 1-2-3
The issue is the damage increasing skills
Just makes yoy automatically better than people who don't
And many people would vote kick new people
You just buff non synced people like.. blizzard does

Top dps is a healer lv 10 due to smite skill (lv 8 skill) beign busted
I feel there arre ways
dont think its imposible
To make it feel good for everyone without breaking the skills
It'd take a lot of work to make it balanced for all level ranges and it's not really a discussion for this channel anymore.
in the beginning of the game, are you limited to how many guilds you can join? (goldsmith, miner, etc) i just want to make sure before i start doing all these quests
Those are less like player guilds and more class trainers. You can unlock any and all classes/jobs on one character if you so choose.
if someone blacklists you, can you see their messages in chat?
When do I unlock the centurio member in Stormblood zones?
Im at the beginning and I can't find the guy
If you haven't blacklisted them in return, yes, you can still see their messages.
they're in Kugane west of the aetheryte
thanks, reze
It's unlocked in Kugane. The city you reach after the level 61 dungeon.
I’m thinking about trying machinist, I’m a level 63 RDM rn and I just hit storm blood. Should I just rough it out until I finish shadowbringers and then level from there?
That’s the problem, wouldn’t it be harder to start at level 30? Or does the msq scale with my level?
My current character is a gladiator but I want to be a red mage would I have to make a new character?
Red Mage just needs any job at 50 with the expansions registered
Job unlocks are character only
Hm, one more thing. Why can't I purchase the Makai Priestess's Skirt from the Calamity Salvager? Does it drop from somewhere else?
Because you needed to get thr full set and achievement when the garo event was around
The salvager only stocks things based on your achievements
Ah, so I can't get it anymore?
Nope
Sadge...
What server should I be playing on?
on the region you're in 😄
I’m confused, I thought the requirements for the general shark minion was to get 5k on an ocean fishing trip but I can’t redeem him?? I got over 10k
any's fine
Eu english
it's in the achivements list now. if it isn't working still, send a picture
any of the eu servers are fine for that, flip a coin if u can't decide
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
this too
Got it! Thanks so much
So as a free trial we cant invite people to a party then correct?
Does that mean I cant play with my friend since she also has a free trial?
you'd need a non-trial player to make the party for you and then give party leader to one of you
Bruh
Hello everyone, I purchased ff on steam and attempted to install/login. I had tried the trial previously on this account. Here's my experience, sorry for the wall of text - Purchased game, installed. Tried to make a new account, apparently I already had one of that email. Tried to reset it, no luck. Made a new second account on diff email, tried logging in, got wrong password errors, stuck in a loop of trying to reset the pass. Third account I made I got the error "You cannot use this function. Please contact the SQUARE ENIX Support Center for additional details. Error Code: i2501". Does anyone have any idea what I can do here besides refund ff and not play it?
There's no way to log in to buy game time on steam. Every time I log into the SE site to buy time it gives me the incorrect password issue again, with an unresolving loop. An absolutely waste of my time.
hello guys, what is the faster way to gain mettle? DR or fate on bozja?
Do we have to do that every time we log on? Or can we stay in the party even after we log off?
if a friend and i are on the same data center but different worlds, what kind of limitations will we have when playing together?
also
he has this?
he was gonna reroll
He has to wait
can anyone help me and friends set up a party? we are on the free trial
can they just wait and "refresh" it or is this gonna be like a days long thing?
If you try during off hours, it should be clear
Do FATEs work in a true set rotation (excluding ones that need a FATE before it). Or are they 100% completely random when they pop?
is there a gear appearance feature?
basically random, but they do have respawn timers
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
Thanks. Does this mean if I just missed one I will be waiting "X" amount of time no matter what? Or can I go clear other FATES in the zone to help move it along?
clearing other fates can help it spawn since only so many can be up at once for a zone
You can clear fates to try and make it spawn, but it's pretty random at times. Or it feels that way
Is there a command to hide class bars? Like, I know if I run '/hotbar display 1' it will hide My first hotbar, is there a way to hide class gauges? Eg. Dark Knight Blood/Darkside Gauge
please someone just help me get this chocobo mount without telling me !faq mount
Have you tried reading the mount faq that comes from that command?
cuz its not letting me get it. red quest thing. i went like 20 quests past unlocking it
yes. it did not help
!faqmount
did you buy the issuance from your quartermaster
yes
and when you talk to the chocobo keep what does it say
i have to go back and then i can tell you but its locked
If it's locked you didn't buy the chocobo issuance
If you did everything the faq/game said to, it shouldn’t be
where can i see if my sub is still active?
The service account status section
The subscription box will say inactive if its not active
ok i unlocked mounts but how do i get the mount i bought from store?
if you have an active sub, it says standard/entry
Mogstation items are mailed to you
These
How am I supposed to know whether I'm doing different ones tho!!
Just visit 5 different leve NPCs?
whats the time for the server reset on things like roulettes?
Midnight JP time
Which is 11h 36m from now
stat priority for gunbreaker when melding?
so if its 9 24pm here, it would be 9am tomorrow, right?
10 AM for you
Wait
Hold on I'm dumb 
Yes
!daily
hello. does it matter much to change squadron members? i already have 8 and still receive recruitment notifications. is there anything like some super recruit where their stats are much better than others?
No
ok then i'll continue leveling my current ones
thanks
sad that we can't train them using companion app
Which has higher dps? Gnb or Ast?
is there a key shortcut to vendor an item in your inventory/armoury?
gun breaker stats still comfy sks then DH?
What was the AST rule of thumb again? Purple card to melee, green to caster or something?
purple to non-melee/healers, blue to melee/tanks
SkS to preferred GCD > Crit > DH > Det
what am I seeing when I hold Ctrl while mousing over a piece of gear

Gunbreaker, in terms of personal DPS
if you include the damage bonus of cards and divination, then AST
Normal quality vs high quality stats
hmm ok, thanks
Does the items I should to get at level 70 will be bought using tomestones? I am using shire gear atm.
Yes
is there a way to lock the chat window?

stupid question, some of these party finder listings say stuff like selling and such, are those like paid sherpas or w/e?
and will i not see them if I block the person in question
They are like sherpas lol. Yeah they run people through content to get them titles and the like in exchange for gil. Not sure about the blocking question though, since I've just learned to ignore them
darn, well thanks anyway
I just tried it, and it does remove them from the list. Just right-click on their name and you can add them to the blacklist
ahh, thank you again then lol
No problem hon. You'll need to refresh the window for it to take effect
Does this game have a talent tree like system?
It doesn't
sweet
Amen brotha'.
like zadnor or one of the zones in Bozjan southern front?
I am rank 15
Zadnor is unlocked after you clear Delebrum Reginae
and thats unlocked after Castrum Lacus Litore
how i get that
You also need patch 5.4 story done if you haven't done that already.
Keep completing the quests inside the Bozjan Southern Front, along with any optionals in Gangos
if you cleared the assault on castrum, it should be a quest in Gangos
Can I unlock more gil items from beastmen vendors by doing more of that tribe's quest?
or somewhere at base of BSF
"A New Playing Field" if you've done Delubrum
what do you mean by more gil items, like have them sell more stuff?
There are items you can buy with gil and items you can buy with their currency
I dont see it in gangos but I did clear the raid and I did beat the story
I mean the items you can buy with gil. Can you unlock more of those items.
Each rank up adds to the shop
depends on the exact tribe but usually yes each rank usually adds an item or two to the gil vendor
though some items might be only buyable with the tokens from the dailies
Go to your Journal > Completed Quests > Sidequests/Side Stories > scroll down to Resistance Weapons
and see what the lowest quest is in that category
Is it possible to get a free phial of fantasma?
Beat 2.0
In order to go into that new bozjan area do I need to be level 80
is there a way to look at time played?
what's 2.0?
Use /playtime
need 80 to do the quests, but you can enter at 71
The base game, A realm reborn
The base game
ok
ah okay
I found the questline
Basically Complete the MSQ up to level 50 (beat Praetorium/see first credits)
Then you get your free Fantasia
@dire prawn Thank you
Subsequent fantasias cost $10 USD each
You can also get one from the HW collector’s upgrade, but that’s 20 dollars
So unless you want the other stuff, don’t do that
Is there any way to tell which of the tradecraft levequests will prompt for additional turn-in items without having to accept all three and just find out by doing them all? I don't notice anything that indicates which of the three is the one.
Thoughts? Am I cutting it close?
everything is green
I read somewhere for rank-ups, you gotta basically overkill it?
there's no such thing as cutting it close
if it's all green then you're fine
Off I go
if you have a red at all, that's when you might fail
this icon means triple turn in
Awesome, thank you!
Veteran reward
But you’ve bought 60
also this, but only in a certain expac later
@fading helm
can coincounter's attacks be interrupted?
Hey, I'm wondering if I will be able to play FFXIV at 1440p with my new PC build... I have a XFX RX 5600 XT Thicc III
wow 150 days u get zidanes outfit??
all of coincounter's attacks by using low blow?
Yeah
interject or low blow?
So like I wanna unlock Dark Knight and get him up as fast as possible is dungeon spam the best?
what do these numbers mean on this earing i got in the mail?
Guys I have hit level 57 and only finishing the ARR extended story, but I'm already capped on tomestones of poetics. What should I spend them on? Don't feel like I need any gear since I got pretty much same things that is offered.
The earring level syncs with you up to a Lv. 70 iLv 430 item.
Free trial? What Lyon said.
!faq poetics
That's why I don't really wanna get gear, that I gonna swap tomorrow anyway.
Whoops.
but ironworks is equal to lv 55 content gears, lol..
extended ARR gear is lower than lv 51 gears
53 actually
54 goes to i133 and 55 dungeon i136
hi um!! i'm very new i've only been playing the trial for maybe a month at most? and i was wondering:
if i buy the bundle on steam, am i able to register it to mogstation?
Is there a way to know what items in my inventory I should keep?
and then in the future use mogstation for a recurring subscription?
I’m constantly out of room
The eternal struggle
All accounts need to be registered to the mogstation regardless, and yes you can keep a sub there as well
But I have a ton of random bolts and things that I don’t know what they do
a quick general tip is to toss a majority of items that have a low "Shop Selling Price" listed, which means a vendor somewhere sells them
do i have to register the codes as soon as i buy them or can i buy them and wait to activate them?? or do they have like an expiration date?
You can also look up items on Garland tools and it tells you if and where you can change it for stuff.
Gear you may not want can be traded in at the grand company for seals if it's not normal type
Which tends to really add up
license codes don't have an expiration date.
but yes all game codes go through the mogstation
The normal gear can be desynthesized to get materials out of it
Which may be worth more than just vendoring
You won't really need materia till much later on for the most part
not really, most of it you can just sell to a vendor for gil
the only ones worth keeping for the most part are grades 6/7/8
You can make a surprising amount of gil putting it on the market board
^
i have so much gear taking up my bag and retainer space, im not sure what to keep, do you think its safe to get rid of most of it, unless it looks good?
if you're not a trial, always try selling on the marketboard first.
