Do your MSQ
likw i should have it at lvl 50 right ?
you unlocking flying for ARR zones by completing the ARR msq
i’m at the inn now
One of the Bells
the inn room is denoted by a bed icon on the mini map. its in the upper decks for limsa
can put 2 tiers of sps in for 2.48 gcd on rdm if you want
You unlock flying when you complete 'The Ultimate Weapon'
so i retire to a room?
talk to the inn keeper to go the inn room
Oh yeah, I don’t cancel service
and the aesthetician will be there!
thanks i am behind on msq
Meaning you’re destroying your account 
once you're in it, interact with the crystal bell to summon the aesthetician
when joining an fc, does it have to be same server or dc?
same server
Same server
Like this...?
ahh okay thank you!
ye
yes thats fine
So I'm a new player, I'm a level 51 summoner working through the end of ARR, but I'm not really enjoying summoner and would like to level something else to continue the MSQ. What's the fastest way to try to get another job up to 50 so I can continue the MSQ?
!faq altlvlguide
I'm a trial (don't have stormblood) if that matters
it does
^
Samurai and Red mage start at level 50, but trial players can't use em
the guide will still work for you as a trial user
it saying (Stormblood) just indicates that it was written during stormblood
that's all
just follow teh concepts
gotcha, thanks
Uh i’m in an inn i don’t see a aethetician anywhere
Check the crystal bell
use the bell
click the crystal bell

idk who sdohjbi is
if i want to upgrade from the trial version, do i need to buy the base game + shadowbringers + a subscription??
or just get the complete edition
Is there a preferred shb relic guide? Googled a few on standby. I had this easy to use spreadsheets for the ARR and HW and wondering if there's any for SB and ShB relics
found it thanks
are all the bird mounts from the extremes soloable as a lvl 80 summoner? if not all, are any
Ravana/Bismark for sure, Thordan might be trouble if you can't burst down after the ultimate fast enough
does the complete editon comes with a subscription?
the rest require self-sustain and good mitigation to do
30 days free @lyric rapids
AKA paladin or warrior
I wanted to know if there is anyway to know of a way to find the FATE for Proto-Ultima? I assume its just waiting for the weather change and try and find the FATE?
pretty much
okie thank you @obsidian patio
whats the limitations if my friend is on the same data center but different world?
cant join the same FC

Oh. MSQ progress
Hi guys how do I try multiple pieces of gear? Or can I only see 1 by 1 how the gear looks like
Want to preview how the set looks like
Before purchase
there's a button in the character display window that lets you try on multiple pieces
its called "save outfit"
Hello quick question, im looking to try that dark knight job, do i have to go though the MSQ all the way upuntil Heavensward? or can i just got start that content when i hit level 50?
Thank you!
ah, and the only way to do that is the MSQ im assuming
yes
daaang i got a long way to go lol oh well thank you!
Just got back into the game after a while, how do I get the most recent level 80 gears to meet the Ilvl 495 requirement?
can you use potions on party members like in other ff games?
Is there anywhere I can trade gear for tombstones? I’d like to avoid buying off of the market board
Where do you upgrade the lvl 60 artifact gear to make it dyeable?
only ones that cure status effects
where do u spend serpent seals
Are you Lv 50 with 2.0 completed, in HW at 58 MSQ but Lv 60 in Idyllshire, finished 3.0 or Lv 70 and completed 4.0?
what is the point of a paralysis and sleeping potion? can i use them on monsters?

yeah they're basically carryover items from 1.0
Because if so you can spend Tomestones of Poetics for max ilvl 50/60/70 gear that lasts up to 55/65/75
I’m lvl 80
!faq afgeardye
A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.
Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Ardolain in the 'Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)' option.
Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.
Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.
Uhh sorry I’m not sure what that means, what is that?
you need to buy the dyeable version, the items to make the old undyeable versions dyeable aren't available anymore
Those are the 80 tomestones
samurai is a stormblood job yes?
what is that emote 
a person using /em to make a "custom" emote
it just outputs text using the emote log color
SAM and RDM both are
ah, how funny
How do I get those? Sorry it’s been awhile
do level 80 content or roulettes as a level 80
no faq for level 80 tomestones since they only have a singular vendor
What is stuff? MSQ and dungeon roulettes?
Where is the vendor
people didn't commit
to either decision
so its not solely your fault
4 per pad is enough
if the barrier went up then only you would have died
I'm level 53 and I'm barely getting any xp from the MSQ...am I doing something wrong? T_T
Where is the vendor for the lvl 80 tombstone armors
What is a good thing to spend poetics on? Preferably to make gil
Level cap MSQ gives shit for exp because its level cap
eulmore x10 y12
I was actually in that alliance raid with you, people said before that to run to pads even at 1% so 
What does that mean? T_T
exactly what it means.
Okay thanks
How do you get the antiqued i210 armor? I have the regular one but the ildyshire upgrader to dyeable wont accept it
The level cap story initially didn't give experience since there was no reason for it to give any
just curious.....anyone here cleared ultimate raids without doing any savage at all?
the regular stuff is already dyeable
you need to do savage to unlock them in the first place.
the antiquated is the undyeable version
nah they meant no greed for it. Would still have worked if everyone stayed tho
So do I not do the MSQ anymore and level some other way?
No keep doing the story.
it'll give good experience once you're in the expansion leveling story
wasnt even what i meant but nevermind then
Thank you. I'm new to the game 😓
it gives bad experience now because SE doesn't want you to be too overleveled for the expansion
Yes I'm asking how I get that
you can't get antiquated anymore
o
there's no reason to
are the base ones dyeable then
also
strat for that boss is play warrior so you can tank it with thrill of battle 
yes
more accurately, antiquated was the base version
you upgraded it to the version without antiquated to make it stronger and dyeable
if people are about to greed wipe it on war you can use thrill of battle to tank it and kill it yourself sometimes 
It’s like the augmented poetics gear
what do people normally use Allegory for? since it doesnt give the best gear
if you don't need it for item level buy the tomestone materials that cost 20 tokens to sell on the marketboard
Do they use DPS meter in FFXIV
check for yourself to see what sells best as it changes constantly
Hallowed wouldn't work since it's enrage damage
I mean it wiped because there wasn't enough if your alliance wasn't on the pad
you can't mitigate that hit, but war can increase it's health that's why war can do it
should be
anyone want to help me lvl blu?
but I mean it's not like you are going to intentionally tank it on WAR, it's just something you can do if you see people are greeding and you are not sure if you have him in time
which blue mages seplls are good for fates?
Chocobo Meteor for damage, The Ram's Voice for freeze, and The Dragon's Voice for big aoe.
Perpetual Ray is also very nice for cheesing some boss fates since it ALWAYS stuns if the monster can be stunned
The primal spells just for the big nukes
hey where can I find the benchmark download?
not up yet
ahh okay, will it just be on the main site or something?
It's a level 70 spell from Omega Raids, but Saintly Beam is also god tier for any fates with undead enemies since it'll do 500 potency damage on them, making it your strongest spell
they'll announce and link it on the lodestone news
ty!
so it'll likely pop up in #lodestone-news-na
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/ should be updatec
when the benchmark goes live
(And then we update the benchmark faq when it come sout)
when is the next update
5.58? Uuugh like soon iirc
Also Sticky Tongue
On the flip side, there’s a couple of BLU spells with knockback
any ideas on why alberic is not giving me the quest for the lvl 52 spell?
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
are the alexander gobwalker mounts still available or were they a limited time thing
pretty sure you can just run a4s for that
Correct
Pog
Does playing Samurai add anything to the Stormblood quest like having done the Dragoon quest did in heavensward?
thanks guys
A12s also gives a mount
For haunting and vexatious memories, do I have to do 18 dun scaith and another 18 ivalice raids?
you can do FATE in SB areas
also have they given any indication that theyll add Ishgard/Doman grand companies to join
nope
I need kinda specific help I failed at the level 60 gunbreaker job quest cause I cant figure out how to set up it's bars can someone help me set up the bars for level 60 not 80? im very new to keybinding and stuff and was clicking on my other classes
in squadron, how do you tell your healer to focus on heal?
don't think you can do that..
if i linked my ps4 with my square account it will be shared right ? characters
yes
just rebind most of the keys around your WASD
so, q e r t y f g h z x c v b n 1 2 3 4 5 f1 f2 f3 f4 tab ~
and then you can also do Shift/Ctrl + those buttons
I dont move with wasd
esdf gang?
I use the left and right mouse to move
well then you can add wasd to your list of keybind options, ya weirdo 😛
oh is mouse move weird? XD
that frees your whole hand up actually to hit whatever buttons you want
my mouse has that, but yeah do what you see fit
yes, since it's less efficient, I would think
you cant walk backwards unless you turn your screen
After linking my account across ps4 and sqaure
ps4 doesn't have expansions
i can still play the game on ps4 ?
actually i think it'd make sense
is there anyway to remove the hotbar lock icon?
holding left and right for forward and turning is less efficent?
if you're using default keybindings it'd be easy to hit numbers 6 through = if you dont move with wasd
you need to buy the licenses again for PS4, but yes
hm so like 1-6 then shift 1-6 then control 1-6?
weird if i can still play with it what is the restrictions if i dont own it on ps4
yeah those are all viable
what dps class has a pretty fun and interactive rotation in leveling through ARR?
SMN
MNK
yes, as for me, its 1~6, q,e,r,t,y
alt 1~5, q,e,r,t,y (alt cuz i can reach more than ctrl)
shift 1~5, q,e,r,t,y
mouse 5, alt m5
m4, alt m4
highly subjective question though
SMN multidots is extremely satisfying with Bane
the only modifier key i use is shift unless i have a set of three abilities that it'd make sense to lump together
like X = Chocobo, Shift-X = Witch's Broom mount, Ctrl-X random mount
SMN is summoner?
does ironworks gear have a set bonus?
I didnt know mouse movement was rare I thought it was the standard?
no.
gear in general doesn't use set bonuses
yeah summoner
How do I enable enemy list on my hud like the one in this pic?
ah aight thanks
it only appears on specific mogstation sets to give a tiny EXP buff and the Grand Company gear for tiny stat bonuses
didnt find it in the pins or the faq but when do duty roulette rewards reset? like at what specific time?
!daily
!faq reset
i think most players WASD move and click abilities with the mouse that they can't reach from wasd
but a lot of people (most hardcore players) keybind
you should already have it. default position should be near the mini-map
@stray mason is it on?
i wonder if it will be possible to get from 1.3 mil mgp , to atleast close to 2 mil with make it rain
Fashion Report alone will be 180k if you get 80 points for the 2 weeks the event will likely be up for
Make it Rain buffs all MGP gain that isn't from consumable items or TT card exchange by 50%
so the challenge log becomes pretty good if you can do most of it
same with mini cactpot if you get lucky a lot
ah right forgot about the challenge log
When does jumbo cactpot close for the week?
!reset
8 hours, 29 minutes, 34 seconds
13 hours, 29 minutes, 34 seconds
2 days, 1 hour, 29 minutes, 34 seconds
2 days, 1 hour, 29 minutes, 34 seconds
6 days, 19 hours, 29 minutes, 34 seconds

Oh ty
can the hotbar lock icon be removed
no
any recommendations for raiding food that can be made with handsaint gear?
Stuffed Highland Cabbage for crit/det
How does time work? It's 2:00 am, but it's light ingame 😮
if you disable hotbar 1 and put a different hotbar there, yes
in-game time is different and ticks like 11s per irl 1s
It has its own day/night cycle
let me factcheck
does anyone know how to get the wizard frog mnion
i'm going to have to, the way i have my hotbars layed out the lock icon is right over top a hotkey lol
its in heavensward?
yeah addendum on this, every 2 minutes and 55s irl is an hour in-game
yes
Ahh okay, ty guys.
when you start seeing the poroggos it's soon

i'm extra & that block of abilities there are just for show & cooldown tracking; my actual keybinds are on hidden hotbars

so if you put the time into it you can have an ugly bar with all your binds & just have it hidden and then do whatever you want with vanity bars like that
Hey guys, so i have an account with every expansion, but the viera race is still locked, any ways to fix it?
if you have shadowbringers, you may need to download it if viera are not accessible
the title screen should have shadowbringers instead of being blue or something
let me check that, thank you
try restarting the game
it should download it for you automatically when it detects you have a valid ShB license
which is usually done after you log in one time
Do duty roulette rewards go up for alliance raids when you pop into a higher level raid as opposed to say Syrcus Tower?
nope, it's based on your level
In practical terms, is there any real benefit to unlocking the higher level ones then?
lol
When is the benchmark released?
Except maybe ally raid-specific skins and minis?
man i really like the magic broom minion but its sound is just so annoying
is there any way to turn it off lol
nope
in like 10 minutes or so
it is for like 5 seconds
Sweet 🙂
then it gets annoying lol
Ah okay, got it. Thanks. Hrm. I'll look into relic weapons later
Yo is it ok to just do main scenario quests only until completely done then start doing side quests? or should I sweep side quests on the way while doing main?
ayone know how long the great gubal library dungeon is?
10 days left in sub. Gonna just level up my jobs and go on a break for a bit
u dont really need to do side quests at all
HO HO... Is that so?
Anime - Initial D
Song - Deja Vu
Artist - Super Eurobeat - Dave Rodgers
All rights and credits go to their respective owners.
yes lol
you can do the ones that are colored blue those sometimes give useful stuff
but theres no need to do regulra sidequests unless you really want too
I can see myself doing all of them in the future but for now I just want to enjoy the story
It's not too terribly long, depends on your party. Overall I'd say it's on the small/medium range
I am having an issue with hotbar 4. When I change class my hotbars 1-3 change to the ones with the abilities I set for that job but hotbar 4 remains the same. I want to be able to change the abilities on it per job. How do I do that ?
Is there a alternative way to check when/where a job quest is available? I want to hide the ui for this but would be nice to still be able to easily find where the job quests are
nope
guess you can amke it smaller 😄
i save all the side quests for leveling diff jobs
besides just remembering what levels you get them at you just sorta have to have it
you could make it smaller though yeah
Watching some cinematics, did lalafell never appear again after heavenward?
the manuals from the GC do not increase the XP earned for crafting/gathering classes when turning items into the GC correct?
correct
there's plenty of lalafell in shb zones
its only for crafting/gathering exp
theyre just not like, important story figures
there's plenty of lalafels in the story after hw
Shame, It would be neat to some 4k lalafell kicking ass
where is the benchmark
!faq benchmark
POG
which activities in the duty finder would you guys say are worthwhile for xp?
Leveling and Alliance raid roulette
And highest level dunegon your current class can do
just for the daily right?
For the roulette yes
roulette's exp bonus is once a day
Because you get more EXP by doing dunegons closer to your level
i see, thank you
i started crafting a bit and i see a LOT of low lvl HQ items that would not take very long to make selling for ~20k+, worth a lot more than the items put into making it. is this just from people who have a lot of money to burn who are impatient or is there just something i dont understand
laziness/people don't know better
at around what level jobs can be considered "complete" (not fully ofc)
also just because its listed for 20k doesn't necessarily mean its actually selling for that much
i checked the actual like
you should make sure you're also looking at an item's sale history
but yeh, usual suspects are laziness/not know better
just several sold at insane prices
people also take advantage of items wanted for class quests or leves and sell them for higher
Does the synastry buff have any radius from the ast or the ast's heal target?
i keep watching items on the market just trying to make some money myself, and some of the stuff that sells at certain prices just continued to baffle me
this at least makes sense
just the range of you actually be able to heal them, since it looks for your GCD heals hitting the target to trigger the extra heal
yeah i hopped a bit, i was just trying to turn in some stuff for my GC for the xp/seals, and its just been a consistent thing where ill find some low level HQ item selling for 5 figures
oh so both the person with synastry buff and my heal target need to be within my GCD range?
yep
that's even worse than i thought but ok ...
Pretty sure its similar to DNC's dance partner buff
If your dance partner isn't in range for something like standard step they won't get the buff
Despite them being dance partnered
anyone?
65-70
Obv complete at 80
Prob at 70 but by that point you might as well get to 80 anyway
How would u guys catch up on 1-70 story line without taking too much of ur time? I'm at 72 right now and decided I actually want to follow the story.
i mean, 3 expac worth of stories won't have any fast way to catch up ...
but there's new game+
that you can play at your leisure
Is it ok if i were to ask something more technical like vpn use here? Or is there another channel for that?
there's #technology-discussion

How do you do the pose with dark knight where you stick the sword in the ground in front of you, is it a emote or something?
draw your weapon and type /cpose
@worn island female exclusive as well
;_;
Natural idle pose with weapon unsheathed apart from /cpose
unfortunate i suppose
so i cant run sohm al due to gear.. anyway i can get some cheap gear to bump me to 105 item level?
so i need to spam run for poetics?
soo... which dungeon is quicker.. praetorium or castrum?
Castrum
^ the set will carry you through mid way of HW too
Praetorium has a lot of cutscenes
question for quests that require me to wear a disguise can i use a prism or do i really need to wear it?
needs to actually be worn, IIRC
so ironworks gear should last from 50-60 until the next poetics tier unlocks at end of Heavensward?
is that when gear from questing is over 130ilvl?
i am getting some pretty bad screen tear is that common or is there a way to fix it?
sorry about simple question but what is difference between items with "disciple of war" or normal items? i am new and should i use normal items as well? what about disciple of war?
disciple of war is gear intended for physical dps jobs.
all class means that any class can equip it, but if it has intelligence/mind on it its intended for healers and magic users
DOW = any physical class
DOM = any magic class
pre-50 gear basically fits three categories for the most part; tanks, physical dps, and casters/healers
with a couple pieces floating around that are "hybrid" dps/tank gear which are good for lancer/dragoon and bad for tanks
So are male Viera shorter than females like people were speculating they would be?
Would it be better to farm memories doing fates or bozja
yes
?
yes they're around male Highlander height
bozja is faster with a dedicated cluster farming group
ffxiv do you have to do the story again on new characters
Wait, Viera women are taller than male Highlanders?
yes
yes
ok 1 character only gaming
Huh... Honestly never noticed XD
max heigh female viera is slightly shorter than max height male highlander
no au ra either
191.52 vs 200.15
should I meld spell speed on my BLM?
SpS or Crit, depending on the build you want.
I am wanting to acquire a Asuran/Yasha's Hakama of Healing - is this still possible, if so how, or is it not available any longer? or is it very rare as to be near-impossible? (says its from Gobbie Mystery Boxes on the fandom wiki)
are guilds important in this game?
Kinda
i dont see any being advertised but maybe cause im in novice chat?
asuran is still possible to get, you buy it with centurio seals in ishgard at the forgotten knight @tired hinge
Asuran Gear is bought with Centurio Seals (hunt currency) from Yolaine at the Forgotten Knight, Ishgard
You get buffs and stuff
Yasha gear is just undyeable Asuran and has been removed
ah, thank you ^^
Is that supposed be a "smaller than a breadbox" joke?
So you mean that I should focus on items with str/dex not matter if it's normal item or disciple of war?
yup, looks like that's what I looked at, but thanks for the answer 😄
What job are you?
what class/job are you @wooden sierra
Moogle server down?
To you both guys, I am Gladiator
Then prioritise gear with the most Strength and Vitality on it
that's all you need to be worrying about.
As a tank you should be going for tank-specific gear
Rather than generic Disciple of War
generally gear that is aimed at tanks (aka gladiator) will say like GLA on it
It will say "GLA MRD PLD WAR DRK GNB"
Oh yes, i just noticed right now.
make sure it DOESN'T include LNC/DRG on the listing whenever possible
since that means its a weird hybrid gear that's weak for tanks
Good to know, thanks you all!
Around what level of the MSQ does the "wine" event happen in Uldah?
okay so i was looking at dps tier lists on fflogs
but fflogs measures dps according to specific match up
for ex SMN/DRG out DPS other jobs in ultimates whereas in Eden SAM/BLM out DPS
So how do i know which has high personal DPS. Does the 5.5 buff to DRG make it on par with the heavy hitting jobs. Cos iirc the buffs weren't that great
if you mean the fancy dinner party, that's all the way at the end of the patch story for ARR
AKA level 50
The Telaji stuff, right? @obsidian patio
teledji adeledji, yes
yeah it's like the last or second last quest

is your ilvl also lowered when you doing lower lvl dungeons ?
yeah
feels like some ppl are doing way more dmg
Yes. if the duty's description doesn't specify a specific item level then it's set to the best possible item level you'd have at that level
for pre-50 gear it only has one secondary stat, all gear at and past 50 have two secondary stats
so that's a decent amount of extra damage for people past 50 in pre-50 dungeons
is it technically night right now ingame?
also expansion jobs as a whole can be pretty overtuned for pre-50 or pre-60 content
yes
Ty
4:35AM Eorzean time
also is there a way to know what dungeons have 1 boss and what are ones with clearing route stuff
if you mean like ifrit those eventually all go into the "Trial" category
as for routing through dungeons, past 15-49 they all become glorified hallways with no sidepassages
The only "dungeons" with one boss are Ifrit, Titan and Garuda from the ARR MSQ
and the only story dungeon that I'd say needs any actual routing is toto-rak
Ninja priority melds?
Meld priority for non BIS pieces: Crit>>>>DH>DET>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SKS
crit > dh > det
DH direct hit ?
yep
Is there a channel I can get some help for titan extreme?
where can i find vendors who sells level 60 DoH Accessories?
Only from the yellow scrip people. The blue bag merchant in ishgard near the aetheryte has them
does keeping a skill in cool down means to always activate when available?
Yes
There’s nuance of course, like holding a skill for a bit if it will get more value from hitting extra targets
Or if it’s a damage buff but using it immediately gets most of it cut off by the boss going into an intermission where you can’t hurt anything
may I know roughly how long would it take me to complete msq from starting of dragonsong quest to end of post shadowbringers? if i do nothing but msq
Probably 2-3 weeks depending on how much per day you can play

And also how you gear up for shadowbringers patch story since that won’t give you free gear
How do you change the currency on your account ? I sent a message to support but I didn't even get a confirmation that my message was sent by email.
for those repeatable levequest am I allow to do them on high level job and turn in exp for low level
no
The EXP goes to the job that finishes it, AFAIK
and you either can't turn it in if it's above your level by a lot, or the EXP gets massively nerfed
Hello Wynne! So I downloaded the benchmark and as soon as I finished watching the benchmark trailer (with a score beside it), an error message popped up saying that it couldn't locate character data.
Does that have to do with my expired session?
@obsidian patio
i don't know anything about the benchmark. im console
What're my best options for getting Allied Seals?
doing masked carnivale as a blue mage and killing whatever A ranks you find in ARR zones
Allied Seals are very slow and grindy to get up if you don't have blue mage to do the weekly carnivale stuff with
wait, they don't boost flying speed?
no
oh
I have all aether currents in the game
So I can ignore all riding maps, I guess?
Where can I find my next job quest or what is the icon for it?
I finally (but sadly) finished HS... I'd love to start Stormblood as DRK...What's the fastest way to level from 30-60? And how long does it approx. take? 🙂
@jade cove Id say 2 days tops, or even 3 if you take it a bit slower. Do your roulettes, then highest available dungeons and you should be good
its honestly quite fast
Alright, thanks 🙂
np!
And I should always to roulette + highest dungeon? Or is there a faster method later on? (F.e. at like lvl 50 do potd spam?)
if someone has the PVP flag by the name whats it mean ?
Something like a year ago, Demicrystal vendor price was nerfed from 500 gil to 50 gil which is a shame since it was such a good item to sell to Doman Enclave Junkmonger. What has replaced it since?
Is solo grinding bicolor gemstones viable
@jade cove Do your roulettes only until youve collected all the daily bonuses, then do highest dungeons
Theres a leveling guide somewhere that i cant remember the command for lol
If you select the job you want, you'll usually find the next job quest if it's available under the "Current Main Scenario Quest" guide. It would look like this
Thanks boyo!

is there any way to see what a piece of gear will look like dyed a certain color before buying the dye itself?
right click item -> try on -> right click item again in the fitting room window -> enable dye preview
thank you!
How do you remove the UI for a screenshot?
if you buy shadowbringers that includes stormblood

believe shadowbringers now includes stormblood
default keybind is scroll lock
endwalker will only include past expacs in november
squeenix makes it very hard to give them money for some raisin
everything around FF14 is a convoluted mess
the game itself is fantastic
but squeenixs website design needs a massive overhaul'
yeah, it's too complicated
Hi, Im trying to find a macro that will auto target the nearest target (if not target selected) then cast the spell. any ideas? :>
gotta do it manually
Don't macro GCDs though.
When buying the complete edition through amazon as a PC download, do I just use the code given in the mogstation?
hey i bought ff14 on steam but after clicking everything on the agreement i cannot click next?
and when i made an account i linked my steam and tried to login for it to say my account has been cancelled?
and i can't go into my settings because it just isnt loading on their site i've tried on multiple devices 
not bad normally
ya its pretty easy, but i death roll for my Gil :p
I’d say it’s difficult unless you’re prepared at the start of an expansion and/or patch to cash in, but maybe that’s my poor bias talking, lmao. Spamming a Lv80 CUL leve can get you 2-3 million gil pretty easily, so it’s not impossible if you put in the time.
I'm sitting on 42M, never having grinded specifically for gil but I'm also not a big gil spender at all so 🤷♂️
i have 600 gil
42M would disappear in a cloud of dust if I did up materia
or bought cutting edge gear straight from mb
its pretty weird to be able to access the companion app without being able to access the game
so i would.. assume so..
i usually get like 3 or 4 lvls then regear from mb
huh, right..
yeah they do place quite a number of limitations on em trial players
but playtime is not one of em
Whats the fastest way to level alt jobs that start at 30?
prolly potd unless you're an astro
what's potd?
palace of the dead
do you need to get above certain floor for the xp gains ? i did to 10 and didnt see any xp gain
you get experience for your job outside of potd when you clear a set of 10 floors
ohh ok
So you have to do 10 floors to get xp?
yep
Why is it saying Zero in stock for the completion edition download on the online store?
yes once you clear the boss for that set of floors and exit you'll get experience for your job
both are options
You can match with other people but you have to queue for it in quarrymill
where is it located in duty finder? either im retarded or its not there-
ohhhh
okay i see
im trying to farm dodo tenderloins, but ive commited a massive genocide of dodos and they are only giving me hides...am i missing something
might be the wrong dodos
?
"Dodo Tenderloin – Gamer Escape: Gaming News, Reviews, Wikis, and Podcasts" https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Dodo_Tenderloin
cedarwood area? only gives hide
nah it's not spelled out anywhere! that page has the locations for ones that drop it plus vendors who sell it, etc
fabulous wiki-type source
i just need to get 60 to be GNB? no need to finish some MSQ quest like other class right?
Let the genocide begin >:)
correct, just be lvl 60 and own shadowbringers
nice

Is the complete edition really out of stock on a pc download?
you can customize male viera already?
mhm
!faq benchmark
has a character creation that lets you mess around with male viera
someone else just pointed that out to me a few mins ago. I can't imagine why that is the case, but you can just buy Starter Edition and Shadowbringers separately for the same price
hmm, okay. But what about stormblood? I was trying to get everything all the way up until endwalker. A friend said if you try to buy the collector's edition with everything on it, you can't use it until Endwalker is release for some reason.
no they're from specific zones
They are not random. Each of the six HW zones drops a different crystal from their fates. You need one of each.
So I just finished one instance of potd and now i cant queue again because my gear doesnt meet the requirement?
the quest journal indicates where each drops
Whatever you do, do not ever buy Stormblood. It comes included in Shadowbringers for free
can someone explain what this means exactly?
So just buy shadowbringers from the mogstation?
Ye
The gunblade is maxed out on crit, so if you meld you won't get any bonuses from a crit materia
Each item has a cap on substats. That particular weapon is capped on Critical Hit. You need to use a different kind of materia to see a benefit.
i see i see
You’ll need to start over on the first floor to get more aetherpool upgrades (silver chests). Each floor has a minimum level of aetherpool required. Use both of your save files side by side to grind out upgrades.
And hunt all the silver chests

Ohh
That's the level 50 raid
The free trial doesn't let you join an fc, hire retainers, use the marketboard and limits a bunch of chat features
is it possible skip all the light show mechanics in ||thordan ||extreme?

No, you can bring him to 0.1% at most

Is there some kind of default keybind for changing chat?
not every dungeon gives you an extra equipment piece of your class when complete?
Only leveling dungeons
only leveling
I think not for all chats, but you can set them yourself
apparently i've finished Legacy of Allag
where do i see if i've unlocked the 24man raids?
Duty finder, ARR/HW/SB raids
here?
it only says: Raids ( AAR/Heavensward/Stormblood )
and the next one says Raids: ( Shadowbringers )
i meant this one
2 to the right, the yellow dungeon
Yes
That's the raid series that legacy of allag unlocks
If you're looking for the nier raids, they're 1 to the right and another chain entirely
And I was initially confused and assumed the question was about the crystal tower
Mind if i'd hope with you in a call for one minute? i'd like to share my screen for a minute
Which raid are you trying to unlock?
24 man raids
There are 4 sets of those
Since I can see you have ShB stuff done it means you've completed the entire crystal tower series
anyone know if people do full subs for the 14 hour streams or other dev streams? i figured i might translate the soken segment but i'm wondering if i can just put it up on my own channel with subs or what
i did complete the crystal tower series i'm 8- and finished the msq
so where is the unlock quest for the 24 man raids
!quest on the threshold

thank you
everyone pointed me towards that legacy quest
i have no ideea why, i've asked for: 24 man raids unlock quest
cuz theres like a dozen 24 man raids
Yeah, the usual question about alliance raids is because it's required to keep going into HW, so people, like me, probably assumed that's what you were asking for
you've not really narrowed it down much
Only CT is mandatory to do, so that's the most common one
i wanna unlo0ck all of em
well u gotta tell folks which one you wanna unlock rather than have people infer your intent based on your lvl
there really is.. quite alot of them
i'm not sure what that means either, i'm not sure how many of them are etc, i've just dinged to 80, and i'm new to the game
One set of 3 per expansion
what does ,,set'' mean?
You have part 1, part 2 and part 3 to all alliance raids
At 50 you have laby, syrcus and WoD
At 80 you have Copied, Bunker and Tower
@left whale i've got no ideea what that means but hopefully i'll figure it out on the way
thx guys4 the help
How does item syncing work? If you are above the stats of a raid does it just give you the max possible stats for that raid or something else?
@dreamy fjord Keiten in Kugane has "Dramatis Personae" for the 70 raids and "Sky Pirates" from the Unquiet trader in Ishgard
those are quests you're reffering to?
Yes, for the 60 and 70 alliance raids
Every item level has its own stat cap. If you're synced down, the gear will just basically ignore everything above that stat cap
Say the cap is 300 on all secondaries, if you have a weapon with 500 crit and 0 direct hit, when synced down you will have 300 crit and 0 dh
i assumed every dungeon has its own stat cap
Ah darn that's how I figured it would work but I was hoping it would just give me the cap
Like for level 70, the max item level is 400, which I don't remember exactly what the stats for it is
Alliance raids and trials don't have ilvl sync, so you will blast through all 70 trials due to outgearing them
where i could edit BEARDS?
facial features iirc
Facial features, I think
Ty^^
yes,ty
Since this is the case is there a guide for best in slot for Ultima? I want to raid him and I know gear matters alot in that fight
as in the ultimate?
Yes
!faq ultimatesync
Many pieces of gear are BiS when synced down. The 'low' stat on the higher ilvl gear will reach the stat cap on the lower ilvl gear. This outweighs the melds you lose in some cases, and in others it is few points of stats behind. The 515 (Augmented Law's Order) and 535 (Blade's) Relics offer customizable substats, which makes them BiS for all SB and ShB ultimates. When allocating substats, treat the stat cap as the value listed below and follow your job's substat priority (if not following a set that lists exact allocations). 535 Relics will provide 15 more substats in UWU and TEA vs 515 Relics, but no extra benefit in UCoB (as the 515 already caps all 4 stats). Please note that PLD has unique caps as sword and shield are separate items.
UCoB
Min ilvl to cap both substats: 418
Standard Relic Cap: 280
PLD Relic Sword Cap: 200
PLD Relic Shield Cap: 80
UWU
Min ilvl to cap both substats: 470
Standard Relic Cap: 318
PLD Relic Sword Cap: 227
PLD Relic Shield Cap: 91
TEA
Min ilvl to cap both substats: It is not yet possible to cap both substats, check your job's resources channel for more information on what gear to use
Standard Relic Cap: 467
PLD Relic Sword Cap: 334
PLD Relic Shield Cap: 133
See the calculator below
https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc
Tanks can instead use their standard gear calc, which supports 70 sync and relics

i would advise to start prog first
then farm bis as you prog
gears help but doing mechs is still most important
So I found out, if you own the Starter Edition, you can't buy the Complete Edition that already contains ARR and Heavensward. You have to either buy the Endwalker Collector's Edition or Shadowbringers standalone to get up to date, or else you'll get the weird 'pc download out of stock error'. Don't know who needs to hear that, but I found that out today, and wanted to throw it out there.
What is prog?
Standard edition includes heavensward
Yeah, that's one reason why it won't let you get the complete edition. You already own two of the expansions. It's weird.
Why would it sell you the game + dlc again if you already own the game
progressing. As in, learning mechanics
Complete is base game plus expansions in one code
It won't. I was trying to buy the complete edition for stormblood and shadowbringers, but it wouldn't let me.
starter edition has HW right ?
yes
You're probably mixing up complete and collectors
Ah ok yea I've already started that. Me and a friend are learning it together through this video https://youtu.be/3t1NyPWZV34
Noob question: How are quest objectives highlighted on the map? E.g. how do I know where to go to progress in a quest?
Orange circles for an area or the quest icon for the npc
If it's in a different area then the icon will be on the zone transition
To that area
Maybe. All I know is that it was telling me the complete edition was 'out of stock' even as a pc download for some reason.
Got it, thanks
so uhhh i see people being able to run shaders in the benchmark, how do you do that

I had more poetics than I know what to do with and was wanting to buy some gear for a freshly dinged 50 AST. Do I want the accessories with Intelligence, Spell Speed and Direct Hit, or the ones with Mind, Determination, and Piety on in?

im really new to this game and have gotten level 16 so far. What i wanted to ask was, how do i get the extra skills? like (i forgot what my class was called but it was the early version of summoner) and i already got level 15 but cant equip the orange summon || how do i unlock it? (if i dont make sense please say so
Hey lads, I purchased some 130ilvl weapon from a splendor vendor in Ul'dah, but it says my armory chest is full. Is there any reason to keep all of my older weapons in there or should I discard some and make space for the new stuff?
Job quests
Go do them
you need to do your class quests. they're indicate underneath the main scenario quest tracker
where do i find them?
i'll check but i dont even know where or what the main scenario quest is
its above the class quest
It's the story you've been doing
it should be default top left of your screen
Anyone know why my endwalker benchmark doesnt work? It opens a window for half a second and then closes
if you click on it it generally guides you to where you need to go for your next main quest, underneath it is mandatory class quests
ooh i see it alright thanks alot for the quick answers
I am constantly at my grand company seal limit, is there anything recommended to stockpile on at the quartermaster as a newbie?
Get a promotion
Oh I'm max rank
Bribe your way up the chain of command
Oh then, stockpile dark matter, ventures, glamour prisms
Thx!
or spend it all on materials to sell on the market board or something
Are all grades of dark matter needed or only the highest?
Highest
Depends on the level of your gear
guys, what do I do if I don't have my token app anymore (changed smartphones)?
Highest level can be used for all lower level gear
Low level gear needs lower grades to repair
So might as well stockpile that
Hi, i'm a returning player to FFXIV, havent played since last summer. However, when i attempt to start the game (using steam), it just says "unable to complete version check", after i input my login. I have tried all solutions i could find on google (reset pc, reset router, edit boot file notepad thing, launched as admin, mobile hotspot, changed wifi network). The last thing i tried was doing some edits in registry which i found was the solution for some, but the file im supposed to edit isn't there.
Does anyone have a solution for this, or experiencing the same? I usually solve these kind of problems, but this time i'm stumped. Been at it for 3 days, and about to just go back to league of legends or something. pls halp.
Oh right that bit
Gotcha ty
hey guys is HoH on HW or SB?
Stormblood
No it doesn’t
Need 1-50 of potd completed
Which one will get me through stuff quicker, black mage or machinist? Or is it really not gonna make THAT much of a difference
Not going to make a significant difference when questing
I wanna play both and its just a case of which to play first really
You can't play mch til heavensward anyways

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.
