@raven star @glass pier Oh I guess there is that! Thanks lads/lasses!
As for what a tank bars look like at endgame
dungeons giving like massive exp - 250k exp per dungeon, but just 50k per msq
@ornate wedge all blue quests are unlocks, just port around xD
@glass pier if ur going through patch quests, it's locked to 50/60/70 so the exp is low, are you after EXP?
@misty field google ff14 free trial
Linking it can be a bit weird, sometimes it doesnt work depending on country 
I like the story also, just saying that exp in dungs is nice
oh i was wondering if ur trying to level to do more story @glass pier
I'm in the US
Level roulette and Palace of the dead is good exp
Easy xD
does someone mind helping me so i brought ew, the collectors editions im not sure how to claim the key for the "collectors edition content" but ive claimed the pre purchase one
I played like 30 different mmos, but this is the best.

Sure, is that the only thing u paid for?
hey guys if I create a character on a world am I stuck playing there or can I change world later?
You can transfer worlds with a payment or visit worlds
the 2 world I was told to play on OCE server are both full so should I wait or
hello ^^ when viewing my party members in the map they appear as a tiny blue dot, is there a way to increase the size or visibility of this?
OCE servers wont be out till next year
i brought the collectors edition via steam, i claimed the pre-urchase bonus conent one but the code for the collectors edition content is not going in
I'm from australia and play on Excalibur
I am trying to reset my password because I forgot it, but it asks for a fucking password, so I can change my password. Square enix had the worst most outdated website of all time
yeah but people online said to to go kajata and tonberry
but they are both currently not accepting new player
@limber karma did you buy the collectors edition on steam? And got the base game bundle?
so I was gona go to a world with exp bnous
nvm i got it
nice xD
but what if no one there speaks english I dunno what to do
What country are you from?
australia
Same! NA servers are fine. I do end game content without issue
We get out own servers next year for patch 6.1,
Time zones are fine, the game is pretty active
is it ok for me to post screenshots here?
@limber karma if it's for help I think it's fine
Do you have the code?
yes
Go to the Mog Station to activate it
and when i try to redeem it like the others it says its not valid
What do I use yellow gatherer's scripts now that I've started unlocking white gear?
Materia is always a solid option
Does the link to the Mog Station say NA?
For gil?
Main issue I see people have is they make a EU account and buy a NA copy of the game.
Heya, I don't even playing FFXIV but i want to try trial, is this game have mechanic like WoW where you can buy abonament using in-game gold?
you can't use the collector's edition code for endwalker yet
endwalker hasn't released yet
Can only do the pre order code,
If you want, I suggested materia since for crafters it's significantly more important in endgame
yup
No means to sub with in-game currency, no
Just use the pre order code for now, gives u the earrings/minion
ah okay cause i was panicking, i thought i got scammed by steam lol
Nah ur good, EW isnt out yet xD
Are the side quests worth doing in the mid-level? or should i just solely focus on msq
ok yeah i got the earring im a new player so i thought it would be really handy
Blue quests and MSQ, but it's up to you really
you can ignore
and focus on
and 
Ok and i have one more question, maybe stupid - How much this game is like WoW? xD
Maybe watch a stream? Never played wow so I cant help u there xD
similar enough that some skills cross over
I am watching someone right now who is a ex wow player
but different enough that you shouldn't go in expecting things
to be exactly or similar to wow
I was watching few gameplay videos of pvp and pve but i don't know whats going on the screen mostly 😆
I say the best approach is to take it in as if you're playing a new game entirely
Pvp is the worst part of the game imo, it's not that best xD
should i do all of the blue ones?
I heard there was a transmog system, I think its called glamour. Ive searched up when I can do this and Ive gotten like 2 different answers. The ff14 wiki guide says level 15 but a lot of reddit posts say 50
@astral badge It's level 15, it used to be level 50
Trying to compare every aspect with another game isn't a fun mindset to have
most of them. the mains one you can skip are "So you want to be X" (they are class unlocks) and "Leves of X" (leves are repeatable quests but aren't very good for combat jobs, can unlock them later anyway) @scarlet cairn
iirc level 50 was the original
is there a cap on how many "professions" you can learn?
It probably changed
ok shit.. ive just ignored all of them except the lancer ones.
No, get them all if you want
guess i have to go back to starting cities and do them all
Case in point
@scarlet cairn dont need to do them all, I can suggest the ones to do if you are after story
what do you mean after story ?
Same with combat jobs
Started messing with crafting, is there a way to set up a macro if you're just wanting to create one thing over and over without hitting each individual button?
You have no restrictions when it comes to what you want to play
i just dont know how macros work exactly
You could
Someone streaming doesnt have voice working, can anyone help?
Everything is on 100, but the voices are not playing
You.can macro crafting rotations but not macro clicking the synthesis button
yeah i just wanna do the rotation since no matter if some of them fail, i know its gonna be successful
oooo
yeah maybe i dont have that yet? im only lvl 9
Majority of crafting is done via macros for higher end stuff
Yeah I do not have the quick button just yet
Without the macros the process is very complicated
It unlocks at lv10
ah
right around the corner then, legit 21 xp away
so quick synth just seems to be en masse creation, without any bearing on quality, which i would assume is fine at lower levels, but absolute no no later on
well depends
just trying to dip my toes into non-combat as im feeling burned out tbh and wanted something kinda tedious like this for when im more tired
how can i make cross world party
Well, yes, it can make HQ items but not consistently
at higher levels if youre mass producing intermediate mats then yes its used pretty often
You can guarantee high quality crafts later on so
especially when you can easily guarantee HQ crafts without intermediate mats being HQ
At 80 you get an ability that maxes the quality bar for every item 70 and below
tbh quick synthesis is kind of bad at low levels when your goal is exp
because how much exp you get from a craft is dictated by how much quality you put into it
ah really, i assumed it would be better as a source of afk xp
Quick synth is mainly good to mass produce intermediary materials
Raising thr quality bar gives you more xp
oh wow
Yep
ok ok so can someone kind of explain macros to me then? i have the gist but im just not entirely sure how to set up macros when it doesnt pertain to like, emotes, but actual skills/commands
Like say, making a stack of 99 lumber one by one would take an eternity
Macros are a little complicated to explain in brief
is there a decent guide i could dive into? does the in game one do it well enough?
Macros is when u google up someone elses macro and copy paste
The game does provide a trial synthesis option
You know it’s true
should i do all of the beast tribe quests on a daily basis ?
Which lets you try crafting an item without expending materials
That depends, do you want their mounts?
Materia melding stats to go for with GNB?
something chill for when i dont wanna grind msq
not sure what the rewards are tbh, if its only cosmetic/misc. i dont care for it @outer star
Beast tribes offer decent exp, especially after ARR
Hello. I have some questions about the "Sprout" new player symbol thing: When does it run out ?
After 90 days iirc
when you reach shadowbringers and have 7 days playtime
or that
Me “chilling” in the firmament for 40 hours

What does "reach shadowbringers" mean ? Is that a stage of the main quest ?
My life for the past couple of weeks
the current expansion
Also does that apply to all my jobs or just the one I reach with ?
once you advance your msq to that point
as in you start the first msq of shadowbringers
all jobs, it's a character thing
Thanks for the clarification !
The MSQ is universal to your character
this is a bit of a different question, but i see metallic dye/dye in general on the marketplace going for decent prices. is that craftable?
You get those from the firmament
ahhhhhhh
You buu them with currency obtained primarily from crafting
Which ones, cause
im very grateful you all are so willing to answer questions but my questons just lead to more questions 
So you are “crafting” the dye in a roundabout fashion
That's okay, it's what the channel is for!
i see what you mean about the XP being much lower
980 for a high quality one vs 284 for normal quick one
HQ items are significantly better than the normal variant
materia stats to go for on GNB?
yo guys is the duty roulette : main scenario worth doing for exp ? (im lvl 50)
So much so the GC provisions will double the reward for handing HQ items
yup
It rewards a lot of exp
okay tank you, so leveling roulette as well right ?
Main Scenario exp is massive, especially compared to the other roulettes
MSQ, level and alliance roulettes are my go to for levelling alt jobs
I usually get about 60% of a level on my lv 69 GNB, and then i watched the xp boost for doing raid, trial, and 607080 dng, and im fairly certain MSQ roulette wipied the floor with them
i wish i could somehow play other job and put it into different job dps queue 30 mins 😦
the exp
Praetorium also takes like 47 minutes..
breakpoint for comfy SkS for GNB?
2.4 or so
It's why I'm not fond of playing dps, long queues
Gcd seconds yes
Do I need to go to the crystarium or something for white scripts exchange?
i ended up getting some friends to all agree we'd level 1 healer, 1 tank, 1 DPS, so we can queue together and eliminate queue times altogether for those. im sure you can find randoms willin to do this as well
Can only see yellow in gridania
U gotta be lvl80 first
you need to unlock the eulmore house of splendors
How do I do that?
The Boutique Always Wins is the quest to unlock it
no like u really gotta get to lvl80 first
they're already 80 on min
Oh my blind ass
Oh yeah didn't see that quest there
@left whale any idea what Skill Speed stat must be to hit 2.4? like 1300 or something?
appreciate it
Well, that kinda appears to vary based on your lvl
So 500 is best ilvl for DoL bar crafted gear?
80
Good to know
is there a list anywere how much the ff15 collab event stuff cost in mgp in total ?
thx
Also another differnt topic question, ive enjoyed playing gunbreaker, but later in the game, is it any good, aka what role does it really fill? Paladin just seems to absolutely destroy is based on its utility alone.
its a tank
Oh welp
You need something like 1300-1400 ish
tyvm
Of course
Im pretty sure gunbreaker singlehandedly doubled the tank population
All jobs are viable in endgame, and gunbreakers are also very good
well you start it at 80 right? lol
yeah i know its a tank, but it just seems so damage oriented, and i didnt know if that damage was worth the sacrifice in raw utility the paladin brings. i havent messed with drk or war, but i enjoyed gnb a lot, but i dont know enough about the game to really understand what it brings to the table
iirc paladin has currently the most damage ?
Isn't it gunbreaker?
Pretty sure its gnb
it is
the difference isnt too big though
You're not sacrificing that much utility
compared to other tanks
by going gnb
pld doesn't have that much significantly more utility than the other tanks
What stats do they go for after SkS? DH or Tenacity?
Aww yeah, 1% more dps
We’re number one! We’re number one!
Blue dps brah
Is there any p2w in ffxiv? Is everything can be gained just by playing a game?
theres a cash shop
whats the difference between the 3 companies?, does it matter which one i choose
for cosmetics and story / job skip
there’s no p2w for actual combat stuff
@patent spirelocation and cosmetics
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
any additional payment is for glamours and mount and emote
@midnight tinsel I guess there is some costumes and stuff, is it possible to buy it from someone?
Well additional retainers after the 2nd cost money
yes from the website @marsh ferry
oo i heard that some companies have better gear for certain classes, is this true?
alright thanks!
outside aestehtics
You guys reckon for zodiac weapon light farming, better to spam tam-tara or ifrit hard?
tbh at this point you can realistically do whatever ARR content you want for it, since most things die pretty fast
but that said, the main difference between tam tara and ifrit is loading times
if your loading times are super fast, do ifrit
if not, do tam tara
nice, i'll do ifrit hard ty ty*
Hey everyone what class would come nearest to the discpriest playstyle of wow?
Dealing dmg while shielding/supporting my group?
which iteration of discpriets ?
is 23nov endwalker "release" release? or is 23nov the early access with just the classes, and 2 weeks later the real release?
there is no healer who heals through dealing damage
the latest one
then noone
should be scholar, but nothing's close to wow classes
scholar and astologian can shield
i also like dots
all healer has dots
every healer has 1 dot iirc
23 of november is official release. 19th is early access
i think wow healers should go ast, other healers might feel a bit simple
ooooho
so yeah
i tried ast but ive heard its getting changed in endwalker
true
it will become a regen healer instead of having the option to switch between shield/regen, but it's core mechanics with cards etc will likely stay the same
so yeah i guess your best bet is waiting for sage
maybe he has atonement mechanics who knows
or just try out all the healer and see what is to your liking
so if i want the shielding portion i go sch

yes scholar and later on sage as well
also you get summoner as well which is a dot dps spec
well partial dot spec
in terms of dps does Summoner come close to BLM and SAM?
define close
in some fights smn gets pretty close yeah
number 1 BLM number 2 Sam number 3? 4?
is this worth to get? i am currently at lvl 51, just finished base ARR yesterday
its item level is 130
Yes
where would you place Summoner if you nail the 110s rotation
i've seen that but it feels off from what i notice ingame
oh feelycraft ? xD
get the whole ironworks set
it will carry you through post arr
i mean these are literal parses on the fight, it might feel off but the stats are the truth :p
ok, thanks
Also just the numbers i get when using a dps meter
your doign endgame raiding ?
with optimal rotation ?
as with in all games the biggest disparity in damage comes from your ability to play the class
not balancing
nah its balancing
Havent measured in raiding yet, but on dummy's summoner averages higher than a RDM and Dragoon all with optimal rotation and same-ish gear
What would those requirements be?
and difficulty of optimising a class's damage
question regarding poetics, are there any other sets u can get with them?
Twinning, unlock is in crystarium and Akadaemia Anyder, unlock is in eulmore in the slums @dreamy fjord
Kaelwyrn mind if i pm you for a minute?
please note that classes that have party buffs do less dmg in your dps meter when solo on a dummy. if you have afull party and you give them a buff, their damage gets added to your dmg in fflogs rdps catagory
sure
so dragoon for example has a big party buff and a big buff for partner, so the dps looks lower than it is when on a dummy
also yeah dummy dps isn't exactly the best way to judge
Okk then if you look at the characters, no party buffs. Just individually there beating something up with similar gear and optimal rotation
BLM's speed build on Resistance weapon is Sps=Cri>DH or Det?
after the 9 books for zodiac weapon, why cant i talk to jalzahn
Like i no way will i switch from my summoner because its dps is lower then some classes
Just what FFlogs says feels way off from what i notice
Is there a way to see when was the last time someone on your friends list logged on? Or can you only see that if they’re in your FC?
yes if you just look at individual dps on a dummy the classes that have no buffs (blm, sam) look much better than it is
i can't do optimal dragoon and monk rotations >~< xD
so your wondering why your summoner is higher then other classes you play worse ? xD
but dont worry about it, the classes are very close in damage, and you are pretty much forced/heavily encouraged not to have double classes in a party. so there will always be a spot for each class
no no i have fc mates that have optimal rotations and we put on the same ish gear
can you guarantee their rotation is optimal ?
how many fights does alexander have, I thought it only had a few quests but it has 12
12 raids (can have multiple small bosses in one)
Then learn them
i better hope so, they've played their job for years
reee
How dare I suggest self improvement so toxic
I've seen lv80s running with a stack marker
Time means nothing
also a bit off topic, i started leveling BLM. Is there some guide for BLM's positioning off leylines?
i wasn't suggesting you were toxic though >.>
Not really
Sarcasm
each fight has different leyline positions/timing, there is a guide for the savage raids usually on the balance with suggested timing/locations
day 102 of why i suck with online sarcasm
Hell if I you actually called me toxic I'd laugh even harder
but for dungeons etc you just wing leylines
hello? 
Go to the balance if you want exact optimisation
Inb4 momo got banned from etro
btw is it true summoner will be an entire new job again after we get the endwalker skills?
It's being reworked to some extent
we don't know, there is only speculation
They told us it's being reworked to some extent
Cause it's at a design dead end
There's nothing new they can add to its current form
So... Is that a question
Ah, the gpose rabbit hole
nooo i dont wanna lose bahamut
which msq do i have to complete to unlock the lvl 30 job quests?
sylph management
sylph management (lvl 20)
okk theres like this one song in POTD, and in some dungeon which i forgot
We'll probably keep the demis, but trances will probably change/go away
It's part of the job quests so we're probably keeping it but it'll change somehow
ive completed sylph management
It will still be a "pet" job
Dreadwyrm is kinda written into the smn job quests so it's not going away yet
!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.
what level do you get a mount?
its at the gloom floors in potd
Do you have any class quests in progress?
Well change significantly
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
I think the chocobo quest hides the job quest, but im not sure
the job quest is at the same npc u got the last one tho
So when i put in the right credential for the account management system is says its the right thing (if you put in the wrong password it will says its wrong) but when i put in the same things for the normal square enix site and the ffxiv login client it says im wrong? Im just a little confused lol
if you're using steam it should be ur steam password iirc
On average, how long does it take to lvl an alt job from 30-70?
yee it was hid by the choco, and the npc had it thank you!
if you dont have dps queues about 10 hours?
how do dps have 10 hour ques tho
tanks are abundant right now
and ive seen alot of healers
So spamming dungeons for 10 hours?
but as a healer ive gotten alot of instant ques so id think healer are lacking
yes if you have fast queues spamming dungeons is the fastest way to level, end your day with roulettes
how can i see the difference between selene and eos?
there is no difference
its just cosmetic?
you look at them 
it used to do different things but they changed it to only be cosmetic
wow
i think people just figured out which one was the best one and only used that, so now at least you have a choice
Eos was the only useful fairy
Selene was basically useless outside of opener for Fey wind
Aoe esuna is too niche
Vs whispering dawn
what are the best jobs for retainers?
for combat it doesnt matter which one, but if you pick the same as your own class it is easier to gear
its suggested to do one combat for getting skins and other annoying mob materials if you want to do crafting, and the other one of the gathering jobs for materials + minions
can i change my retainers jobs?
yes
yes but they will start at level 1, and if you then later change them back they will also be 1
are they a big market advantage?
not really (you obviously need at least 1 to access market)
yea
This doesn't mean that they won't make changes to underlying actions that deviate from the original quest premise. In fact this was very much an issue with SCH and MCH where SCH had no leeches for one of their quests and MCH couldn't Hot Shot anymore. They did fix it in the retrospect, but it's proof that quests don't necessarily mean something is untouchable
Also minimal has been said about the SMN situation other than what Vinyl's said, and the egi glamour matter. No real reason to speculate when we'll find out soon enough with the actions trailer and media tour information
Do we have a date for that yet?
After September
We're hoping it's mentioned at the next live letter
Otherwise no confirmed date thus far
They briefly mentioned at fanfest that after September media tours could be possible
Like briefest of mentions
With the data centre travel testing
Well probably get some info in the upcoming 14 hour stream
Hi! so i havent played since like the end of march and i was wondering if it is worth to start playing again and start to level up new jobs? my only maxed out job is black mage
Haven't heard anything about it yet, but we're prepared for when it is to happen
hey everyone, i am currently playing the free trial on windows (not steam). however, I went ahead and bought shadow bringers collectors edition on steam last night. once I get to level 60 on the free trial, I am able to swap over to the steam version and begin a monthly sub, right?
Worth catching up towards Endwalker if you plan on playing for 6.0
is there a bot command to check prices of stuff in a server?
i dont have access to the market board but is genuinely just curious
Yes, you can change over whenever through mogstation by inputting the starter addition code on mogstation
With Tokyo back in soe I can't imagine a media tour is on the cards
oh ok perfect, so that is why the steam version spits out those codes when I launch?
Pretty much
universalis.app is a site where you can check prices
You can always right click > manage > CD keys to find them again
ok awesome, tysm. it was getting very confusing last night lol. i wasnt sure if this was possible or not, glad to hear it is! 🙂
can use the !market command
But not here
is bozjan coin only for armor ?
but it pulls from universalis which isn't always up to date
Yes
where i can the weapons
as it gets its info from users with the ACT plugin
i495
Theres no 495 weapons
There are no i495 weapons
;-;
The relic weapons, which are from bozja, go 485-500-515-535
Closest you'd get is cryptlurker, from Eden normal
That or you buy exarchic from market
And it'll still cost 1k revelations
There's no cheap at endgame if you want a good weapon
dang it
Exarchic is probably the play, tbh
Since 485 is the cheapest and is still pretty weak
You'll need 500 average ilevel for Endwalker btw
Starts at 510, ez to upgrade to 520
i can do every content with 510 ?
For the first dungeon
Yes
500 is the minimum you want for Endwalker, ofc more is better
i was curious is it a huge boost if you goes from 510 to 520
10 item levels is 10 item lebels
You'll have a bit of trouble finding groups to do high end content if you're only 510
Cap is 530 btw
well it definitely helps..
Lots of groups set 520 minimums these days
for now tbh im not grinding high level gears
my goal for now to level every fighting job so i can choose what ever i love
it's a big increase to your main stats so yes
@simple pine @twilit arch thank you! \qwq\
Anything over 500 is basically academic if you're not doing high end content tbh
High end content includes extremes on pf as they'll likely have 520 mins as well
So when you switch classes for the first time, do they just give you a weapon and armor to start with? Or do you have to go farm for everything again?
Just weapon for arr jobs
So for dlc ones you get both?
Later expansion jobs give a starting set and weapon
Stormblood and beyond even look decent
You're only ever given left side, iirc
also many classes share armor (all tanks share, dps share in sets of 2 usually) etc
And are basically artifact sets
Right side you need to bring?
So what do you do like after switching and starting over basically? Do they put you at lvl 1 or something? Cuz I’m gonna switch to an expansion class most likely
Depends on the job
Would I have to do like dungeons basically to catch up?
!faq expacjobs

Ohh okay
Expansion classes start at 30/50/60/(70)
And yes, you grind dungeons or PotD basically
You won't be able to just starts as sage for Endwalker for example
Since it starts at 70 and Endwalker will start from 80
How much does the glamour cost i forgot
So im planning to go MCH maybe or RDM
Depends
So for MCH I go ishtar I guess
You'll need stormblood for rdm, if you're on trial you don't get.
Idk where you are, just warning
I’m gonna be subbing soon, I’m at the end of the ARR story I think
Define end
Bought an item via mogstation but the moogle doesnt have anything
Like last or second to last mission for base story
Cuz after you finish arr story you'll have all the patch content
Can anyone help me with this?
Wait a bit it's not instand
Wait a bit usually takes time
takes a few mn sometimes
Right character?
Patience is a virtue dude
Yeah only got 1
Lots to do after you finish the main story yet before you enter hw
Mb,Thought it was instant, thanks everyone
sometimes it is, most times it takes like 10 mn or so
Unless there's a massive congestion like when Endwalker preorders opened
Yeah just got it
Post ARR quests that lead to Heavensward are painful so brace yourself it’s very long lol
grats
The 7th umbral slog
They improve towards the end but the ff14 team were still finding their feet
Pretty much
ya but the ending of it, is a great payoff .. i thought it was awesome
Unless you buy a job boost, which I'd advise against for multiple reasons
Yeah
Is it because it’s hard or just very long in length?
Very long
Gotcha
MCH main here, the job is pretty worth it
Kinda boring, go there and talk with someone etc etc
tedious at points
Long and story wise a bit rough
Bet
Id rather take walking and talking than just fighting and dying lmao
But that’s just me usually
It's not as bad as it once was but it's still 80 main story quests long iirc
Or was it 100
80 including ARR?
They're not too long but it unfortunately does add up
Push through and it's well worth it
The final quest is fantastic
Yeah that’s what I’m trying to do
And it really starts picking up around 2.4
Believe it or not I was a bit annoyed with some of the fights I’ve had with other mobs in ARR itself
So a little past the halfway point
Arr and hw are unfortunately power crept to hell
So you won't find a lot of difficulty in them
Ah okay
Hw less so and it has the great story to fall back on
I just mainly wanted to get the class first then I can proceed to the other stuff but unfortunately I gotta go through post ARR now heh
🇫
It's the ff14 cycle, we get an expansion once every 2 years and patches every 2-3 months in between expansions
You’ll get there just power through it
"when can I play DRK finally" is a pretty common question xd
Each patch continuing the story of that expansion /leading into the next expansion
Since endwalker is the last expansion of this story i wonder what the patches are gonna be like

All leading towards next expansion
No epilogue like ShB and hw
is glamour reusable or is it 1- use on your current armor only
reusable
I am currently part of a FC, but they aren't as active as I'd like.
Are there any sprout friendly who want a new member?

!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.
#recruitment-chaos
only the prisms are consumed when you cast it
oh so not only you have to buy the skin from the cash shop you also need ingame currency to apply them
only if you buy glamour gear from the cash shop
Best way to glamour is to put the item in your glamour dresser, costs one prism to put it in then you can glamour as much as you want
a lot of shop gear can also go into the armoire which doesn't consume prisms
Is it me or game download is just slow?
Also, for cosmetics and outfits, can you get them from the market board thing?
yes
Or do we only find them from moogstation or the dungeons?
I hear it is expensive usually on MB?
depends on the gear piece
Different items have different sources.
Not all of them though, some are not tradable
People. How do I remove quests I don't want to do anymore from the log?
abandon them
Click on them and then abandon
you can pick them back up later
Thanks
Cancel them (you can't cancel "leves of..." though it seems)
For the most part, the newest cosmetics cost a fortune, older than current patch tend to be far more reasonable.
Some of them don't have the abandon button though
still making bank on casual coffers lol
Some levequests
I just wanted some cool clothing that didn’t have to cost a lot or seem to hard to obtain
Yoy need to fail the leve first
Like fashionable at least
To abandon it
I don't know why anyone likes the casual top.. makes your neck 3 meters long
once you finish your lv50 job quest you'll get a set of what's called artifact armor, specific to your job, makes a great first glamour
is there something similar to the flyer shaffrom barding for a head piece?
Ohh gotcha
Check marketboard, gold saucer, vendors. You can try on gear without buying it
Is there any reason I shouldnt use sprint on cd
In combat, yes you might need it
In dungeons, you need to stay with the group and healers are casters
Solo, not really
Compared to other games ff14 isn’t that grindy, so even if you found something you liked you wouldn’t have to work that hard for it imo
anyone got anything for this?
we've been grinding arr primals now for the 500seals per run but it feels terribly slow.
is there a good resource where i can check dungeon mechanics or boss mechanics before i be stupid idiot and die?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Sastasha wiki usually outlines the main mechanics
MTQcapture on YouTube
yeah for story stuffs, consolegames and gamerescape is nice hehe
That’s true. I checked online the amount of quests needed post ARR and I was still shocked 😂
like 2 mins read
It’s a good 80-100 minimum if not more
depends on where you checked,
they cut it down in one of the last patches
It’s about 80 quests now, iirc
do all class starting armor look the same? I made a puglist and so far I feel like everyone else is in fully clothed armor or robes and I am running around in a night lingerie
there is no starting armor for each class
You don't get job specific gear til 50
only starting armor for each race
Only expansion jobs get starting armour
and role specific on 15 through the novice hall
oh I guess being a bunny girl did it
hey guys, anyone can help me? im at post shadowbringer quest but i still cant fly around areas in heavenward, stormblood or shadowbringer? i wonder why
hey when can i help a friend sign a fc petition with my alt?
is there a level cap or sth
Is race I choose matter and can I change my class when I want? Do you lose something when you changing class?
you need to collect the aether points using your compass that you got in early HW https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Aether_Currents
No, yes and no
you dont get flying for just doing msq anymore
Thanks 🙂
@simple pine so when i collect all the aether i can fly?
yes in the specific area you collect the aether you can fly, need to do it for each map
well, except for asyz lah.
yeah i meant from arr onwards
asyz lah is HW xD
are there further character customization later on in game or is the character making the only one? It felt lacking (I was looking for earpiercing etc)
You can unlock more hair
earrings are actual gear in this game with its own appearance
As a first time tank, how do you deal with so many moves
Does the keyboard even have enough space
Yew
Tanks, many moves?
You have literally 10 hotbars
if i have original realm reborn copy and i apply the green man gaming complete pack to it, would I still claim the free month or will i just get the games. Thanks!
you can use shift+key and ctrl+keys to get more skills on the same keys
And 30 or so skills to key bind
If you already own the game you can't use the complete edition
Hi, I have a question. If I buy complete edition now, do I get Endwalker as well?
Seeing the tutorials and all, there are alot of moves, atleast compared to a MCH
No
no, complete edition only includes up to ShB.
Is there a way to pre-order Endwalker and buy base game in the same package?
But it will include Endwalker when it releases?
You can change the hotkeys for all your hot bars as well
is there anything i can do sans making a new account?
if you are overwhelmed you could play marauder/gladiator to start at a lower lvl with less skills, the tanking skills are shared/similair between all tanks
probably once it gets updated.
No there will be a new complete edition
Yeah, with the same price right?
No. If you already own the game then you just need shadowbringers + a sub for everything
thanks
I guess I'll buy base game now, play, wait until Endwalker releases and buy that then
You mean it's not worth to buy game now?
I want to start playing
So i could be in the same situation
worth is subjective, if you want to play now you can play now, but you will have to buy endwalker later
It's only if you want to save money
play the free trial instead of paying for base game,
it's the same content but base game you gotta pay your sub anyway.
When new expansion is coming? @simple pine @faint flare
But you can't add friends or join party in free trial mod right?
November
23november
Early access on the 19th November
Wanted to play with friends :c
you can join party, but not make a party
That's pretty a lot of time
if one of the friends has the game they can always form the party
Ok, guess I'll buy base game and have all my friends get free trial
paying the sub each month for just base game costs you more than buying complete & enjoying the full game as is
Please just buy complete edition tbh
Oh right, I would have to pay sub fees as soon as I buy base game
That's kinda weird
it's not weird
I think steam had sales on both the base game and shadowbringer
How do you change how many people you can see on screen?
You either play for free, or buy and pay each month
it's a trial, not f2p
^^
is there any discount for buying a longer sub at once
He's saying it's weird he'd have to pay a sub for starter edition when it's pretty much the same as the trial
The Standard subscription costs $14.99 per month and offers discounts if you buy months in bulk
!faq subprice
I got 30 day game time from buying the complete edt on steam that should be enough to get me to 80 right?
Only if you hardcore rush and skip story stuff
on the chaos Datacenter which server is the most packed with people ? ( i know server traveling is a thing but just to get my alt started .)
All of them
youd miss ALOT of cool story
!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
nah I dont plan to rush just wanted to play like a single player rpg so I am up to the story when endwalker comes
depends on lag I dont really plan to raid until the OCE data centre is out
Where is the setting to increase/decrease the amount of people shown on screen?
Yes somewhere in system configs
clip plane ?
Give me a bit
Display limits
as 50 monk i can pick samurai now right ?
Character and Object Quantity
If you have stormblood
ofc
System config > other > display limits
Under the (...) section on the left side.
but that means monk progress stops at 50 right ?
No
it levels up ?
yeah only summoner and scholar level together since it's a shared starting job
ty
So I'm wondering if I get any class to level 50 does that mean I can make every single other class?
You'll need level 60 to unlock every job
no you need one class at 60 to unlock dancer and gunbreaker
oh ok
And 70 for endwalker jobs
And eventually 70 for Endwalker jobs
and reaper gonna be from what lvl ?
So I can literally just make every class same day?
70
70
tnx
Probably not, getting from 1 to 70 in one day is unrralistic
just question, how many people can play in total on a server?
@warm snowwell once I get a level 70
Also you need heavensward for its jobs so getting to that in one day is also unrealistic
storyskip + level boost ez lvl 70 in one day 
thats just cheating
imo this story up to lvl 50 hasnt been anything special i hope higher story gonna be better
xD
It is, but unfortunately the 50 patch content is rough
does level boost only work for 1 class or all class
One job
70 is max lvl right?
EW is 90 ? not 85 ?
It's always 10 more levels
anyone know when you get the chance to join a GC
ok
This was also confirmed
Why would it be 85
20 msq
from other games they would do 5 lvl per xpac .
guess imjusdt used to 5 lvl increaes
128
They said they have plans for the next decade
SWEEEEET !!
So that's 140 ish
they better,
cuz I'll still be playing for the next 9 years for those damn leve achievements...
Endwalker is the end of the story that's been going since 1.0
1st ive heard of it, but thats awesome !
Starting with the Endwalker patches it'll be the start of a new story
What is the name of the weekly quest that gives bozjan gold coins?
I am playing on a new server with the exp buff I should be able to just do MSQ and the blue class quest and not fall behind right
One man's relic
I can pretty much ignore the other fetch quest?
Easily
Ahh, so they moving it into a whole new 'realm' so to speak.
cool
Still alooooooooooooot of places to go
It's a realm reborn because 1.0 was such a disaster they nuked the world and rebuilt from scratch
Both in game and in real life
Like tiamants homeland
heh, funny
I'm serious
as a tank should I try and face mobs away from the group so melees can hit from behind or does that not matter in FF14?
why retainers name unavailable?
Someone else has it
😢
Yes
Yes melees have positionals. Face it away. And so you don't cleave people
I wanted Savannah
Keep the ass and sides exposed
ah really? didnt know it was so bad heh
ait ty
There were plant pots with the same polygon count as a player character, the opening cutscenes could lag on most computers
try Savannah' or S'avannah.
Ohhhh nice idea
ok ill watch that.
hmm wonder how that got thru Q/A
so are there around 80 quests post ARR until i get to HW?
Deadlines, crunch culture. Bad management etc. etc. Bad engine choice
oof, thats a long long way
it's mostly "go there" quests tho & you can fly now, so it's quite fast
ya unfortunately it happens in a LOT of games 😦
thats a lot of reading and shit but i am skipping i guess
Glad they fixed it here.
Falling into #general-discussion territory but as vinyl said feel free to look up the YouTube documentary
I'd advise against skipping cuz the storyi is pretty good.
& post ARR sets up HW so you'll miss out on the plot there as well
ok thanks
I 2nd this !!
skipping is fine i did it (and later watched a recap) and still really enjoyed the later stories. play how you want
how easy is it to make gil? I am doing early quest and the reward is gear thats like 1 armor or def better
should I just pick gil everytime
it'll get easier the farther you are in the game.
Always gear if it's better
Hello people! Im experiencing my first playthroguh with a gladiator. I want to know that how duty finder works actually. Is it similar to WOW or a bit different? Like when i join a dungeon group which is far away from me can they summon me or do i need to walk etc. Thanks for the help in advance!!!
You'll be put into the dungeon
you will instantly enter the dungeon upon accepting
its a cat breed
even if its just +1 armor?
you can join a dungeon via Duty Finder from anywhere.
Yes
oh thats nice
its the same but only 4 people @oak gyro and with need greed system like in mop
+1 is good amount
too popular maybe
and after we complete the dungeon will i be the exact same place where i entered as well?
i skipped most of mid ARR, too much reading and i am not that fan of reading honestly especially when they speak so slow with long sentences
Yes
ok always gear upgrade over gil
thanks for the info guys cheers!!!
Unless a cutscene forces you to a specific point
@oak gyro yes except for some msq related duties
yeah so like im glad at desert zone when i join the 15 dungeon which is at forest zone ill be back where i was questing actually then
so i can experience the early dungeons
nice nice
The story takes you to majority of dungeons

im a bit ahead at xp due to star server xp bonus so i might wait a bit then
ahh you keep your main class skills even if you change job (from monk to samurai)
those are "role actions" they are shared between role, such as melee dps, tank, healer, ranged dps
All physical melees have the same role skills
in the anima questline is it viable to just buy the demimateria for the crystal sands?
Hi, Is there any setting to reduce flashes from bosses and so?
hey, how regularly do events come back ? I saw one with Lightning from FFXIII and I'm dying to get her items
Those are on mogstation now
damn
Once the items are on mogstation they won't come back
Hey. If i buy a physical copy of the complete Edition do i need the disc to play the game? Ps4/Ps5 it is.
What is the best way to farm light,for zodiac weapon?
what are the items ?
at this point (and also assuming you're lvl 80) can basically farm whatever ARR content you want, every thing dies fairly quickly. That said, tam tara and ifrit normal are common choices as they're extremely quick. Tam Tara if you have meh loading times, ifrit normal if you have very good loading times @dawn cove
hi guys, does anyone know what whm weapon is this?
thanks
Weathered Tishtrya, lvl 80 AF weapon @oak ether
ahhh.... cool thanks 😄
is there a way to try on several pieces at once?
It works on those pulsating cast bars
It ranges from "meh damage" to "interrupt this shit or die"
PULSATING cast bar
is your first dungeon different depending on where you spawn first?
It's visibly different
how can i tell is pulsating?
ok good
It's faster the stories converged
Because it's visibly pulsating
It'd quite obvious
it’s red
just that, not like orange circle
Is there a way to select multiple items in the gridania seals exchange? Clicking only one thing at a time is gonna take too long and my armoury chest is filled with crap
The cast bar itself pulsates and flashes
The cast bar is telling you what they're doing
Especially in later content
The cast bar is vital
what i meant is, like you know they have this shape animation what they about to do, like the range of attack
is that not the same as bar
It's tied to the cast bar
@junior walrus you can do the ultimate gamer move of moving the position of the delivery window so you dont have to move your mouse and can just click
maybe my timing is bad or lag
so u mean there's no way to select multiple items 
i guess that'll do
are there any intyerrupts that a Drgn can use ?
You can slap it out quickly enough, but yeah, no multi selecr
I did that too once
is there way to make the cast bar show below their health bar rather on the top
You can make sure to keep items safe by clicking the tab that is for Filter and saying "exclude gear set items"
You can split it
yes, go to you HUD layout
In the hud editor
okay
focus target bar?
yes
it will take with its health
i'm nearing heavensward now, where should i spend this?
right click the your hp bar and set it to segmented
Buy ironworks gear if yoy haven't in mor Dhona/main cities sundry splendors
^
