Quick question about dancer
Between lvl 60 and 70
Should I use fan dance as soon as it procs?
Save 3. Use 4th when you get it
Use feathers under party buffs
Goes for all levels
Makes sense
There’s no way to change bozja?
Not yourself
Also thanks
Only way is to leave and hope you get into another one
Hey guys, completely new to the game. Trying to find people to play with on Hyperion, and having a hard time in game. Can someone point me in the right direction?
just noticed i have commendations received in my reputation tab what are they for and how do you get em?
After a dungeon, people are allowed to vote for someone they're like "this guy is pretty cool"
oh i havent see nanything like that at the end?
Or just play tank and get tons
Most often they just give it to the tank because he's at the top of the list
huh il check after this dung
To unlock Samurai, do you only need to have a job that's reached level 50 + having SB? No need MSQ requirements like HW jobs right?
Do all the market boards differ per town/city? Or universal?
they are all identical on the same world
previously, there was a tax system based on where you buy it vs where the retainer was selling at it
but this is no longer the case
The prompt disappears after everyone leaves the dungeon
Gotcha
So if you watch a cutscene and everyone leaves meanwhile it won't show
so I dinged 30 and finished the 30 marauder quest, equipped the soul thing and now im a warrior; am I supposed to have any new abilities right now or is the next new one at 35?
Quick way to earn Gil? Trying to get to 1 million
if you completed that quest, you should have got your first level 30 job skill
for warrior, I believe it is Thrill of Battle
actually now that I remember the changes
to warrior
warrior has no 30 skill anymore
at 35 you get Inner Beast
30 used to be Defiance but it was changed
You get Thrill of Battle from that quest and Inner Beast at 35
yeah
I do have thrill of battle, was hoping for a new damage ability but i guess not hehe
MCH Help - I can’t really discern from the wiki or two conflicting posts, but the Drill quest requires me to go to OK’zunda (sp) and that’s unlocked via MSQ, correct?
at 54 you will get Fell Cleave
35 isn't too far away
Yes
yea im not in a huge hurry, its all very overwhelming so just working on the MSQ while I learn it all
Drill is a level 58 MCH weaponskill
you get it from completing your MCH Lv.58 job quest "Taking the Fall"
Yep but Ok’vunda seems inaccessible
you get to the other side of the Sea of Clouds from Level 57 MSQ
It's the northern Sea of Clouds, from MSQ, like Vinyl said
When I equip a soul crystal is it supposed to mess up my bars? Just noticed almost all my bars got changed
It does that
ah ok, so it will be saved for that soul crystal now?
Thanks @faint flare and all!
Remember to overwrite your gear set so it stays as Warrior and not Marauder, if you're using those
if you don't want to waste time remaking the hotbar
you can type
/hotbar copy MRD 1 WAR 1
and /hotbar copy MRD 2 WAR 2
ah cool thanks!
any idea why ACT is only displaying my parser in the overlay and nobody elses? it seems to track my party members as well, it just doesnt show up on the overlay
wow heavensward story just keeps gettting better and better im really enjoying this
does NG+ contain ARR now?
Besides glamour purpose is the lvl 60 poetics accessories (Shire) needed for anything or are they safe to turn in? Apparently they can't be stored in the armoire.
im fucking stupid.
yes
yes and no
depends on what you plan on wanting to use the accessories for
When you start a sub on mogstation does it take all your characters with you or can you only choose one?
all
Ok cool
there are some uses such as using them for the Gold Saucer's outfting event
im not able to subscribe to ffxiv with paypal?
or using them specifically for synced down content (at Level 60) if that is something you want to do
or you can use them for glamour as you say
Hrmm just running out of place to store things. Guess this is how S-E gets you to buy more retainers lol
I would turn them in if you are running out of space
Not directly. You CAN use PayPal to buy crysta on the square enix account management site, and then use that to buy subscription or mogstation stuff
you can also just store shire and such in the wardrobe for now (if you have space and glamour prisms). glamour prisms are dime a dozen if you do dungeons regularly
how much crysta is 1 month of game time?
Each crysta is 1 cent
Do critical engagements in bozja scale to the number of participants?
Yes
If the number of people is very low, as in below 10, participants also get a scaling echo buff
Yep, all you need is self-sustain of some kind for soloing
Just Potion kits really
So the potions, potion kits, or the DPS/Tank essence that HP leech
Cause with 400% they barely damage you

Ok cool thanks
how do i filter out these messages specifically, again?
like i honestly
just dont give a fuck about this spam
Character config > log window settings > general > log filters > select desired chat channel > announcements > untick “Loot Notices”
awesome, ty
maybe i can finally read what the party says without dedicating an entire chat tab to it 😆
are there any setting or some kind of addons i can get that will show me dps and hps meters?
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

this part is of great importance
Simply running ACT will not get your account in any trouble, as it just reads data and not modify it
so i shouldnt really uyse it and the game dosent support addons
Using it is completely fine
Basically don't be a dick
Just don’t use it to harass others or tell random people you’re using it.
can anyone link me a good 80 dragoon guide? im back after like a year and im totally lost
!faq drgguide
🇺🇸 Saving the Dragoon

🇫🇷 L’art de la Lance

Join :balance:The Balance for up-to-date information!
nah i generaly use it just to see what spells and heals are more potent and help me see that im actually doing stuff lol
You can do that by reading and Comparing potency
That's what potency is there for
It's a Base flat line number to tell you how much it does
The Crystal Braves were that small group of adventurers that ||Alphinaud tried to run before it got ruined by Ilberd.||
i didnt mean it like that mre of overall during this bossfight did i actually pull my weight and did i keep propper uptime on stuff and such
Self act use is fine... Many use it
Don't say you're using it and no one can tell, don't allude to any numbers or anything
so basicly dont use it like saying "your bad your dmg is bad i do more dmg than you so im better" and just keep it to yourself
ye ofc
Dont ever mention it in party chat, Free Company chat, linkshell chat, say chat, etc. And you're golden
aight cheers
Hi all im trying to play FFXIV but it keeps asking me for " Please enter your registration code for FINAL FANTASY XIV. " where do i get code or where do i buy it? im using FFXIV client not steam version
Are you trying to play the trial?
apparently my account already used trial
As in you played when it had the time limit?
yeah i played the trial in 2018
You need to buy the game then. :/
I think GMG is still having a sale for non-Steam, which is pinned in this channel
I asked this before but I'm still confused 😂
I got referred by a friend, and I got the silver feathers straight away, but not the tickets nor the friendship circlet (and the squenix website says I should get them all after 30 days...)
that's not right... right?
Did you pay for subscription yet?
nop
That’s why
but i get the feathers straight away?
The feathers are instant, the tickets and circlet come from 30 days of subscription

is it not possible to join spriggan (or the other new datacenter) in chaos?
you mean the subscription? or game/expansion?
The game, AKA the starter edition
Yep
Thank you!
So after you sub you have to update the game? Cuz for me I got a patch for the client
You shouldn’t need to if all you bought was the base game
Then yeah you’re downloading expansions
Oh 
are the prefered worlds blocked intentionally? are they not supposed to be available?
!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 should be worth waiting for a preferred server, right?
It’s not a must, but it removes any additional level grinding you might need for the story.
It's pretty simple, tbh
someone gave me this how can i get more of it
Combo based, positional dependent
It's very static
yea i didnt have that with wow really
I know
Yes and no
and i have 3 different rotations depending on the situation?
You bounce between your two combos
Your rotation is fairly static with a burst window during Blood/Life of the Dragon
Chaos thrust combo then full thrust
anyone know why i can't tell stories to jonathas? i can only trade tokens or ask what he does
Because that's all he does now
They removed the "tell stories" (turn in achievements) and made achievement rewards directly collectable from the achievements themselves.
Is there a way to queue up an all-fc triple triad tournament using the draft rules like in the open tournies?
this may sound noobish but any way you would recommend setting up my bars to make remembering my rotation easier?
That was... actually something they said during the 5.3 LL - that Jonathas was getting all of his life's meaning taken away lol
till i get a general grasp and start weaving stuff in

I find finding the most comfortable bar for you is much better option, than just copy paste other people
I would recommend putting your combos together in an easy to remember 1-2-3 position. I use the cross hotbars (controller), so I group my skills into groups of four by effect and use.
You need a healer to Esuna
The counter is to either interrupt or dodge, or have a healer remove the debuff.
When i examine someone, it doesnt show the race. Is there a way to find out? I mean usually its obvious but sometimes their entire body is covered in armor or somethin
damn
You’d just have to ask the person. :/
Wack
so with endwalker it's just the damage numbers being squished right?
All numbers in general
that includes health and ilvl then
Health yes, ilevel no
ah ok ok
So it'll take longer to level up?
It may actually end up being a little faster. They haven't given a lot of detail on the squish yet.
It's just smaller numbers across the board
So overflow bugs aren't so easily creatable
Oh shit even the body parameters? Dont want my tall char to be fuckin short now lmao
I kj lol
Never, they love Lalafell in JP - they'd riot!
another question im currently ilvl 449 what should i be doing to advance my gear and power?
raids?
449? You can buy tomestone gear.
Eden and nier raids and allegory tomes , or buy HQ exarchic
Combination probably, Tomestones for gear, maybe some market board stuff if youre rich, Nier raids
Default is bottom right corner of your UI
But its default bottom right when you start the game
You don't need gil to get good gear
so tomestones? and nier raids?
Do whatever NieR or Eden raids you can, earn tomestones, upgrade your gear.
Rinse and repeat
You can only farm 900 Allegory tomestones (high end) per week, but Revelation are uncapped, so you can get a full set of i490 gear pretty easily.
i wish you could star stuff in discord tahnks!
How do I transfer party leader if it was transferred to me?
C goes to character by default?
right now i have 2k poetics and 400 allegory
Poetics are useless for max level
Right derp, I changed mine sorry
Allegory and Revelation are the endgame tomestones
Right click on the person you want to transfer lead to in the party list, and promote them.
can't right click them for some reason
Are they offline?
no
Not in that party list, gotta open up the Party Menu
oh
Yeah, party list in the menu, not raid frames
ok, thx
which duty is better for leveling ? castrum meridianum or the praetorium
You dont use them to level manually, you just get one of them in Main Scenario roulette. At random
If you're level 50, do your daily roulettes, then Aurum Vale if you aren't up to 51 after that.
!faq altlevelguide
Yup, you use Roulettes, Dungeon spam, FATEs, and later hunts / beast tribes, all different manner. Deep Dungeons, too
That guide is the bomb tho
Deep dungeons are inefficient for tanks and healers.
Inefficient for dps too, if your queues are under 15 minutes.
ok am i know rouletting right then?
not*
you do them once and then the bonus is gone right?
Yes
If you've already done your daily roulettes, then you don't want to do them again for the day.
ok mine are done
Thats right, only once per day per roulette
So you move on to highest level dungeon spam
What happened to asmon gold channel?
Hidden when he's not streaming
Clarify: Highest level Leveling dungeon
A leveling dungeon is 1-49, 51-59, 61-69, etc.
Wierd to think about it this way, but a level 50 dungeon (like Castrum, or Amdapor Keep) doesnt actually "give exp", because they're made for level cap if that makes sense?
oh you cannot whisper to ppl on free trial?
Correct
rip
So i was told just to follow Main story until max level but, right now im 46 and the story asks me to be 49 how do i aproach leveling now
You can only use /say and novice network on free trial.
To stop botters from making free accounts to advertise gil selling etc.
Do your leveling roulette if you haven't, then spam your highest level dungeon available.
Just like leveling an alt.
i have no idea what a leveling roulette is
Check your Duty Finder("u" on KB&M?), theres a category for it
In the Duty Finder, on the first page you should have a category called "Roulette: Leveling"
ah i see it
You can do that once per day and get a huge xp bonus.
ah that does make sense
Roulette means "We will give you a random dungeon from what you have unlocked, and give you a bonus at the end"
Dont do it more than once per day, though.
You'll get more roulettes added as you unlock other kinds of content.

please tell me FF14 has a triple triad game
Yes
You bet it does
woo!
Is there any difference between data centres (Chaos and Light)? Like is there more of a community for specific aspects of the game like raiding or whatever on one or the other?
No
Effectively no
anyone got an estimate how long it might take to get an alt to 50? am an average player not super hardcore
Alt job or alt character?
Alt job, you can get from 1-50 with about 5 or 6 days of roulettes.
and is that doing all the daily roulettes that are on offer?
gotcha, ok ty for the quick answer 🙂
Priority melds for AST?
I have a ton of bozjan silver coins, is there anything worth getting with them?
Crit > Det = DH
Are house demolishing still active? And if so what’s the timer
Yes. 45 days.
lets say I pick up Dark Knight today, should I use my poetics for lv 60 gears?
DRK starts at 30, so if you don't have level 50 tanking gear, I'd use them for that first.
ah, i see
Ty
@knotty lilySo then at 50, I would do The Stone vigil
Aurum vale
hey, does anyone know if your settings/keybinds/hud layout transfers over when you move servers in this game? it doesn't in WoW, so I just want to be sure
It does
accidentally pre ordered through eu, is support going to be able to help me with that or am i screwed 😄
You can also save your character settings (including HUD layout, etc.) in the launcher using the backup tool. Just click the gear icon in the top right.
If you didn't use the code, you should be able to request a refund.
Hey guys, what’s the point of the gold saucer? Is there things to unlock that you can use in open world?
They don't actually charge you until you "open" the product, and that happens when you use the code for digital editions.
It's a amusement arra
It's the casino.
It has mounts and other cosmetic stuff
Minigames
Oh so just cosmetics and mounts
Yeah, basically
Cool thanks.
It's side content
Yeah so you don’t have to do it at all 😉
Unless you want the car mount from the FFXV crossover event in September 😄
Thanks for the help earlier everyone
That's what we're here for.
Any ideas where I can hunt down a new-player FC on Hyperion? I'm day-one-new and enjoying myself, but lonely.
Are you on free trial? Or did you buy the game already
Free trial for now, very interested in buying.
You can't join an FC on free trial
Ahhh, okay.
But if you ask a mentor
for an invite to the Novice Network that should help.
Hi there I realized after declaring for twin adder that I prefer maelstrom. How do I switch?
In /say chat
Okay, thanks Aura.
You have to reach a certain rank with your current GC, but once you have, you'll be able to switch.
Get to second Lieutenant rank first
Open the duty finder window and press leave @fading helm
My friend and I are going to start the game, if we purchase a stormblood story skip can we start as a lvl 60 dancer/gunbreaker or do we need to purchase a level skip also?
Then you can just go to another gc headquarters and switch
ty
Need level skip
Wouldn’t recommend skipping though.
Yes, the requirements for GNB/DNC are have one other class at level 60 and own Shadowbringers.
You wouldn't need to buy a story skip for that.
Are there zero rewards whatsoever for friends recruited after the first five? Do I get gold feathers for the 6th RAF if they sub for 150 days? Or does everything only count for the first five?
@open coral so we cannot get any of the already leveled dlc characters without having a high level character already? even with story skip?
Correct
Story has nothing to do with it
i thought they unlocked at a certain point in story but read wrong I guess
I just signed somebody up with my 6th RAF code, and I'm wondering if there's any incentive to keep using them?
ty
Nope. It's own the required expansion and have an appropriately leveled class on that character. Nothing to do with story whatsoever.
Not really at this point
Dang. So if the first five don't continue their sub for whatever reason, there's no way to sign up new players and get the 150/210/270 day subscription bonus feathers?
if we story skip to heavnsword and do a job skip to 70 will we just be OP for heavensword and stormblood?
we played to 40 on steam trial but just bought windows complete editions without realizing it didn't transfer
so we want to story skip to heavensward and level to 70
Those milestones apply to the first 5 who sub for that long, not only the first five you referred.
does that sound like a decent plan?
Right on. I'll keep giving out codes, then. Cast a wide net, and hope at least 5 of them sub for 270 days each. Thanks!
it level syncs you anyway right?>
Yes you’ll be level synced
Thats a fine plan, you will get auto level synced to whatever content you need to do yeah
For instanced content, yes.
I'd only say that if neither of you two have a tank or healer, you'll be waiting long queues haha
Yes. You can't apply skips to something that doesn't exist.
ah i see, just was not sure if it would have the options when creating a character or not
The skips are physical items you use on the character
so what happens if i purchase a level skip for a class i don't have yet, does it just unlock that class then level it up?
Yes.
and does story skip apply to all characters on your account or just one?
Only one
but one character is all you need right?
Yes
That is how it works
That is how it works!
awesome tyvm
30 minutes
30 minutes
mann
If you're under penalty it will show up as debuff
You only get the withdrawer's penalty if you leave an in-progress dungeon or if you fail to accept a queue three times.
yeah i left a in progress POTD
RIP, that'll do it
Yep, you should see it wherever you have your debuffs appear on your HUD
That will also tell you how long you have left
i dont see it lol
oh it says on duty finder
Ah, yeah

is there like a favorite class poll on this discord by chance?
enjoyment
So it looks like I have one of those welder masks next to my name..what does that mean?
I'd add to that by saying that since FFXIV classes are SO BALANCED, so is the rate at which people enjoy and play them
Welder mask? Can you be a little more specific? What color?
classes that dont just do the same thing/rotation over and over and have to move around and stuff
SMN or NIN would fit that description, I think.
Every class has a fairly static rotation, though.
It's just a question of how involved it is.
Oh, BRD too.
BRD is all procs.
Yeah every class is pulled to follow their DPS rotation in one way or the other. Except healers, because healing
trough my leveling process when do i get faster mount than the first chocobo
Even healers have something of a rotation.
Is there a recommended stat allotment for the MCH Resistance weapon?
are there only two tanking jobs in base ARR and HW? which are warrior and paladin?
yup
Right now I'm just splitting it as evenly as I can among the 4 choices
what classes have some of the most stylish/flashy skills/abilities?
All mounts have the same speed. You get a speed up buff for completing a certain point in the MSQ for each zone, and flying is fastest.
Correct, the other tanks are DLC jobs. Only two base healers too, White mage and Scholar
Definitely NIN
Also preference, maybe Samurai or Ninja, proobably Summoner or Black Mage as well
DNC is also very flashy, but not particularly complex.
i unlocked the blue mage by coincidence xD, what does it mean its a limited job?
Limited Job = you cannot take it into content with any other job, other than Blue Mage. Its not meant to be used to "play the game normally"
Its like..a side job, a hobby
BLU cannot be used for MSQ or duty finder content. It learns spells from specific enemies, and can only go into content with premade groups.
It's horrendously OP
Different skill acquisition, different roles, no mixing jobs. Totally a vanity job for fun and challenge and clout
lmao ok, thats weird
I need help! with something urgently
heyall, asking for a friend here. how do you bypass error code i2501 on the launcher (for free trial) despite doing almost everything (mobile data, different wifi, etc.)
Ask your question and we'll do our best.
I booted up my game and gave me the setup menu for loging into the game and installing it
and now it shows I need a registration code for my free trail account
Did you use the full game launcher?
Blue mask, I am probably way off. Next to my name.
Are you queued for an instance?
If you go on the Mogstation, what does your account status say?
guide me for that?
never been there
I Was playing last night and then wanted to play today and get htis
this"
which tab is it under?
It should be on the Account Status tab
is there any class that is just so underwhelming its super hard to get invited to a raid?
The very first one
Nope
Is Neath Dark Waters actually on the MB...?
Yes
Maybe? I know you can buy it from the bicolor gemstone vendor.
Yes
Okay, good, your account is still showing as the free trial version
!faq freetrial
I deleted the old client and re installed it
and I keep getting that add a registration code thing when loging in
which is very odd
never did this last night at 1 am
Ooh, that might have screwed it up.
I had to uninstall it a half hour ago due to this problem
and still happening even with the fresh install
I'm not 100% because I started playing way before the unlimited free trial, so we'd need someone else with a bit more experience to confirm this.
I was 6 missions away from finishing the hw expansion
and was gonna do side missions and I got my 270 item level gear last night
ughh
@little swift @slate arrow Does the free trial get confused if you uninstall and reinstall?
No, don't do anything else yet.
ok
I want to get someone who might have better answers for you to pay attention.
@obsidian patio
I don’t know anything about installing the game.
They're having issues with the free trial launcher following a reinstall
I know we've had other people with this issue before.
this was before the re instal
I can't remember what the resolution was though.
All my knowledge relating to PC-stuff and the trial is basically from google searching
I re installed it a half hour ago to see if it can fix the issue and still did not
Who's our best free trial launcher issue person?
Cant be my pc specs that is for sure lol
No, no, it's not to do with your PC
It's literally something to do with the way the free trial reads information from your PC
ohh
Worst case scenario you just buy the game and link it to your account.
I dont have money to do that
Ahh
You get 30 free days of sub time with the base game.
I know and after that I get locked out the game
I wanted to clear all the content of the free trail first before dipping money into the game
Hey question. What are all the jobs aside from the healers have a healing spell?
I'm not really great with directory stuff, so I don't want to give you the wrong advice, and I think the resolution for this is to completely delete the game from your system files and do a full clean reinstall.
PLD, GNB, RDM, SMN, DNC... any other?
You mean that isn't a role action?
yes
Wait
Goona delete this folder and see if it is giving the issue
Nascent just needs you to be doing damage in order to heal someone else / yourself, is all
No
!action nascent flash
what happened?
Grants the effect of Nascent Flash. Also grants target party member Nascent Glint.
Nascent Flash Effect: Absorbs damage dealt as HP
Nascent Glint Effect: Restores HP equaling 50% of that recovered by Nascent Flash while also reducing damage taken by 10%
Duration: 6s
Shares a recast timer with Raw Intuition.
You give someone a buff that heals them for damage you do
Ahhh okay
While lifestealing yourself
You can kinda take SMN off the list though, its atrocious hah
Lol
SAM has a self-heal too
You can't use that one on other players though.
How does RDM do Vercure then?
It's fucking garbage
That scales off Int
That's a kernel error. I think that's a system problem.
It would be actually worth something but still shit
You still wouldn't use Physick since it's a dps loss
^
Bet you $5.00 that could be a rework
Nah
Anyway, I need to cook dinner
OMG IT WORKED
It's in the raw code
Cause physick is with scholar as well
OH GOOD!
DELETE THE FILES FROM THE MY DOCUMENTS
It has scaled off of mnd for 8 years, don't expect it to change anytime soon lol
FIXES THE PROBLEM
I was a little worried because I wasn't 100% sure.
what does the game not let me switch resolution in borderless mode?
borderless has a fixed resolution
If anything physick would be yeeted from summoner
Just delete the ff folder in my documents my games
its below 1080p though..
fixes the whole issue
gotta re install the game again though
but eh 45gb is not bad
30 minutes of a wait
Hope you backed up your character settings. You're probably going to have to redo your HUD, bars, and gearsets if you didn't.
I did
I saved the character folder just in case of that
one step ahead of you on that 🙂
I hope the next free trail user can benefit from my issue
Get a second screen?
lol
i feel like they would if they could
@open coral yea i do
I'm not entirely being sarcastic. I use my laptop as a second screen when I'm playing XIV
so you cant easily look stuff up unless in windows mode?
Yeah
I use borderless windowed mode, personally.
I can still tab out that way, and the resolution is fine.
can you delete character after you create it?
Yes
if you decide you didn't like how it looks
Yes, but you could also use a Fantasia.
what is the difference between legacy world and non legacy? my friend is on a legacy one
None
Nothing
Legacy just means it existed in 1.0, otherwise nothign
Legacy worlds are just servers that have existed since 1.0
gotcha ty
is there anyway to change my character appearance?
Use a Fantasia
okay how do i get one
Theres also an ingame barber, "Aesthetician" - you can change simple stuff like hairstyle or colour, tattoos
(No real money, just 2000 gil for that)
where can i find the aesthetician
You unlock him in Limsa Lominsa
and when do i get msg 2.0

i’m only level 17, am i close to those things
i just got aboard the ship and flew to a different place
You're closer to the aesthetician than The Ultimate Weapon
and this edgy bad guy is preaching
^
You can unlock the Aesthetician granted you've traveled to limsa already
You're still 30+ hours away from completing 2.0
oh wow
Maybe more, even
can i change the name and stuff to with fantasia
No
Name is different
Nope, name change is cash shop only
Name change is a separate service
i see
Fantasia is a full character re-edit.
i just think my character looks so basic lol
like after seeing my friends characters
Well, new character model, at least.
how much is fantasia
You can dress yourself up, and change your hair and makeup with the aesthetician as we mentioned.
I think it's $12 for 3?
sigh
If you arent too far, you can always start over, but I know that takes work
Clearly
I would say, unlock the aesthetician and see if changing up your hair and facepaint makes you feel better about your character's appearance for now.
If you still don't like how it looks by the time you finish The Ultimate Weapon, use the Fantasia you get and change it up entirely.
alright i think i’ll do that
Keep in mind that there are also hairstyles that you can unlock from various sources in the game as well.
i think i just got to limsa
So you might get something more interesting further down the road.
on my map it says limsa upper decks
Good, then you're in the right city for the aesthetician
Go to the Drowning Wench (Adventurer's Guild)
Actually, you won't be able to pick that quest up until you've completed the MSQ "Call of the Sea"

Which will be one or two quests after the one you're currently on.
quick thing, is it rude to roll greed in instance dungeons?
No
Anyone who has an appropriate job for the item can roll Need, which pre-empts Greed rolls.
ohhhhh ok thats how it works
Priority is Need 100 -->> Need 1 > Greed 100 -->> Greed 1
So even if you rolled a 99 Greed, a Need roll of any value would outrank it.
I just started the game today and was wondering does class matter at the start or can I play everything later on? That’s the only thing I’m stuck on right now
Starting class only matters until you reach level 10 with your first class.
After that you can unlock other classes.
Ah ok
Ultimately you can be everything on a single character.
Nani!!!
It's one of the selling points for this game.
This might have been asked a few times, but I hit level 47, and ran out of main story to do and also job quests. Is the best way to level to do Duty Roulette?
No. Only your first duty roulette per day gives you bonus xp. After that, you'll want to do your highest level leveling dungeon until you hit the next MSQ level.

Is there any videos I can watch to get the hang of the game because everything looks confusing…
!faq newplayertips
If you're looking for general stuff, that image ^ is good
Going to read this
If you're looking for your specific job stuff, a guy named WeskAlber on Youtube does excellent things.
Job guides out the wazoo.
hi, im trying to complete these missions to get enough for the pass to get the choboco mount but no missions are appearing?
For videos, ZeplaHQ and WeskAlber have good starter guides, while Mizzteq does some of the better endgame content guides.
Just do your next MSQ, you'll get 300 GC seals for completing it, which is 100 more than you need for the Chocobo Issuance
oh ok
Supply and Provisioning handins can also only be done once per day each, iirc
thank you guys!
Does anyone know if / where there is a Brazilian disc server for FFXIV by chance?
or community in general?
hi, i currently have arr and heavensword, do i have to buy stormblood or shadowbringer is enough ?
If you purchase Shadowbringers, Stormblood will be included.
Ok thanks !
ive completed 3 more msq but it doesnt look like ive gotten anything :/
it said it was gonna refresh in 7 hours, so i went to bed, woke up and still had no quests
You have enough for the chocobo issuance
only the green check mark complete is a complete mind you ...
It only costs 200
How do you understand the aether compass? Like it gives me a number then west so I go west then i use it again and it changes direction
When should i worry about Disciples of the hand and land?
Ah they also require disciples of hand / land, if you dont have any crafters or gatherers then you wont see any. I forgot
Screenshot your currency window?
They have 1000+ seals
ahhh

completely optional stuff
is this it?
Okay I may be missing something but I’m not able to pick up any crafting classes. I have all the DoL classes unlocked but the guild quests for all of the DoH classes just don’t show up for me, there’s no quest marker above any of the guild receptionists heads…any thoughts?
Whenever you want! Crafting and gathering are their own world, like a side-game hobby project. You can level them alongside your combat, or you can just completely save it until youve caught up in story to level 80
You've got more than enough to buy a chocobo issuance
You have 1738 GC seals
Ah ok
And for this, yep thats about it - it will point to whatever aether current is closest to you. Just gotta keep using it, keep heading towards.
I recommend dragging the compass to your hotbar while you look so you can hit it with ease, over and over again
i had that last night, tried to buy it but it was still greyed out
ill try it again, thank you!
does anyone else get the "target is not in range" error when using Ley Lines while moving?
Why is the bow quest man mean to me, it’s very rude
What do I do with company seals? Do I need to give them to someone to rank up?
My boyfriend is a lower level than me on his DoW/DoM classes but he can see the blue quest markers above the guild receptionists heads. ☹️ I don’t see them though.
Yes, but you also buy GC stuff using them
Talk to the officer behind the desk at your grand company to rank up
If you can unlock the Land you can unlock the Hand, they only need you to have finished your first Level 10 class quest. Keep talkin to the receptionists (Like Jemime for GSM) and you should be able to get at it
I think they might give you a haughty preamble first for some reason, maybe?
Gridania as a whole has an issue with outsiders due to the Elementals, which also really hate outsiders
Nah they keep saying the same one line to me like “welcome to the guild blah blah this is what we do here” 😭
I still hope he hurts his toe
So does getting level 50 to switch to a 50 class mean I have to finish Level 50 MSQ quest?
And then the level 1 guild master quests are obviously locked. I checked to make sure I didn’t unlock them way back when but it gives me the pop up that I won’t be able to use equipment whenever I try to buy gear for the DoH classes.
which class turnes into ninja?
Rogue
So with preordering endwalker it comes with earrings that boost your xp gain by 30% (only from killing mobs not quest rewards). Does that significantly boost your time to level up or is it only minor help?
also if i do level skip on arcanist or whaterver do i get lvl 70 summoner and scholar?
both
You have to pick either Summoner or Scholar to boost, and you'll have to do the quests for the other.
But it will be level 70.
You also only get level 70 gear for one
I'm kinda at a loss. Looking up a video, i see a blue ! right above the receptionists head yeah. You havent unlocked them already, of course?
Ok I just finished the MSQ part of Heavenward, I hear theres buffer quests before the next dlc. Is that true and how long should I expect to spend before I can hop into the new content?
Have you done the level 10 class quest for your starting class?
That’s required to unlock other classes
Yea, I’ve got multiple classes way above that. DoL ones I’ve had unlocked for a while as well.
Theres always buffer quests after hitting the end of leveling for an expansion, indeed. Maybe like 30 hours or more depending on the expac, you're getting from 3.0 to 3.55
can u not buy shiny versions of the previous relic weps? when i buy one from the npc they are normal without the shine
It doesn't take long. It's not like ARR to heavansward. Also the buffer quests basically progress the plot the next expac so they aint very filler
I’m assuming no, since it won’t let me equip any of the class gear 😟
You mean the weapon/tool? Or equipment? Do you have any of em?
Weapon/tool
!leveling
uh i don't see rouge on starting class for ninja?
Only weird thing I’ve done recently is switched servers
ty
what's the command to leveling a new class?
ty
Rogue can turn into Ninja at level 30
Hello, can someone help me with a quick doubt? I'm currently trying to get my relic weapon and apparently I need to unlock a dungeon called Amdapor Keep, BUT I can't find the quest that unlocks it anywhere
Might try the old “turn it off and turn it back on again” 🤣 thanks for the help
!faq altlvlguide
You have level 0 for all DoH classes on your character screen, I take it?
Rogue cannot be selected as a starting class. You can only become a Rogue by visiting the Rogue's Guild in Limsa after completing the level 10 quest for your starting job.
I've tried to look for the NPC that everyone talks about in Western Thanalan, but I don't have any quest in that area
hey, i'm trying to find the music from this boss video, could someone help me with that?
Sunrise
thx
According to Garland tools, you need to unlock all the pre-50 dungeons Nedrick Ironheart gives
im so confused what different disciples mean? what is the difference between deciple, class, job ect...?
Disciples is like a category
Disciple of War = physical damage dealer/tank
Disciple of Magic = caster damage dealer/healer
Disciple of the Hand = crafter
Disciple of the Land = gatherer
Disciple of Hand = Crafter (Weaver, Goldsmith, etc.)
Disciple of Land = Gatherer (Fisher, Miner, Botanist)
Discipe of War = physical combat (Tanks, melee, Bard etc.)
Discple of Magic = caster (Healers, Mages)
can you be anything even if you choose a specific disciple?
Anything and everything
All the things
You can have all jobs unlocked and at max level
then what does disciple do starting out?
I already have them all unlocked, that's why I have no idea what the problem is
That quest just doesn't exist for me
Disciple of (whatever) is simply an overarching category for whatever your current class is, and informs the type of gear they can wear.
Maybe you need to clear them once if you haven’t already?
unlocked and cleared, or just unlocked?
Cleared too
Disciple of X just describes what type of Job a job is and gear they wear, as above
Oh, and "Class" usually means "starter class" like Gladiator, and "Job" usually means "Advanced Job" like how it turns into "Paladin"
So there’s no “Ghosts of Amdapor” quest at all in western thanalan or your quest log?
Sometimes "class" and "job" get interchanged but in general, thats the difference
Nope
Submit a bug report
I'm losing my mind over a damn quest
I missed it, did we ask to see your completed side quests in your quest journal?
Yeah, I searched for it and nothing
Hang on a second, let me check a few things.
oddly enough aurum vale's required for amdapor hard
so maybe it's needed for normal amdapor?
That's the weird thing because Aurum Vale is cleared
what disciple of war do I need for samurai?
I'm starting to think it's an actual bug
You're sure you actually cleared AV and not just unlocked it?
It has the check mark
you see nothing in your searchbar when you search for "Ghosts" case sensitive right?
i mean ninja
You need Rogue to become a NIN.
man this is confusing
Rogue is not one of the available starting classes at character creation.
But it’s an ARR class
Choose either Marauder or Arcanist to start in the same city.
So it evolves
so your disciple/starting class doesn't matter at all?
Not in the slightest
Not in the slightest
so for example if i wanted bard i don't need to choose archer or does choosing archer give me a head start?
A bit of a head start, but nothing major.
You have to choose Archer to be a Bard because Archer becomes bard at level 30
I think they mean choosing Archer as a starting class
But you don’t need to start as it
^
You can start as anything, and then just unlock Archer in a couple days and start from ARC level 1 to level it up to 30 and evolve it to Bard
You can start as anything and become literally any other job by talking to the appropriate class trainer once you meet the prerequisites to change classes (complete your level 10 class quest).
Any other ARR job*
DLC jobs take more time (level 50, level 60, access to Heavensward DLC, etc.)
hey im new to the game, should i play the game through steam or non-steam?
Non-steam if you can help it
I have but a simple question
(Steam isnt a big problem but if you choose it, youre locked into Steam version forever with no escape)
How do I get rich quick?
do first and last name get combined into one word overhead?
Nope, always seperate
can you opt to not have a last name?
And for this, not easily! Most people use Crafting jobs to make money but that takes hella input to level all those jobs up and gear them
And that a quick "No", always both. NPCs will refer to you by your first name, tho
No
What goes in the purple tab here?
Ultimates or Unreals, I think?
Ahhh, probably ultimates. Unreals are in the tab I have highlighted
noo my friends world is full how often do spots open up?
Best time to check is at the lowest traffic time, midnight or middle of the night. Hope you get lucky

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.

So if I have the complete edition on PC and want to play on PS5 too, do I need to buy the game again for PS5 or can I just login and play?
Gotta buy 'er again, unfortunately
Ok thanks 
Where do you get your fantasia after you buy one?
It will be sent to you by Mog Mail, and you can pick it up from any Delivery Moogle. It can take* some time though, hours on hours
Absolutely, although there is a button to Request Mail Items from the server. Check a Delivery Moogle and poke around its menu, there
Oooo I see
anyone know how to unlock suzaku i tried to google it but the npc thats supposed to give me the quest doesnt have it
suzaku is a part of a long quest chain, first one should be by talking to soroban after you left him in ruby sea
i use full screen mode 1440p
whats the best source of EXP to level up new classes?
palace of the dead
isnt that true from lvl 30 only
No it’s good earlier
hunting log is good for early levels too
Hi ! How can i get good gear at level 60 ? I've reach it atm and i'm still at the beginning of heavensword story quest but my gear is still level 50...
then you dont need level 60 gear
just use the set you get from the level 60 class quest
i've thought about it but i can't go to the area of the level 60 quest haha
am I doing something wrong or is leveling gathering classes really this slow in the diadem?
ay fellas im looking for help getting from 49-50 im at that wall rn ive got pretty much exactly 300k xp to go and I have no clue what to do
Ive found a couple threads on the reddit but they are all like a year old and idk if anything changed or maybe there is some different consensus. Ive gotten tons of different answers and some are conflicting ex: Do POTD its good xp - Dont do POTD you have to start from lvl 1 or Do/dont do your highest possible dungeon
is playdead emote worth buying
Do dungeons :0
ok will do
I did AR and dungeons
its worth even if ive done my daily thing right?
whats AR?
alliance raid
oh wait you're not there yet coz thats around lvl 50
but yes, doing dungeons is prob the most time efficient
is this your second class or first class? First class is always doing the MSQ. Second class at level 49 just do the level 47 dungeon
first clas just started playing 2 days ago
then just do your main quest
i did tho
You should be able to level up doing the main quest, you should not need to grind
👍
Do the level 47 dungeon
Don't forget to eat
oh
ive got 90 eggs
aurum vale is prob the most annoying dungeon in arr
do aurum vale
it does give good exp tou, if you are a DPS just be mindful of your positions and should not be too hard
it's a good way to practice ur macro play
also be mindful of debuffs
im usually rpetty good at that kinda stuff
it's only the first small boss thats hard to kill
2 bosses stack debuffs on you, just eat the fruits on the stage to remove it when you get 2 or 3 stacks of the debuff
usually mentors queue up too and high leveled players on a lower leveld class
i just got into a stone vigil group ill do aurum after
yes yes
tell us how it goes
if you're all new in the party that may be difficult xd
sounds good ill keep everyone posted
