yeah
cant find the option where should i look xD
mogstation, additional services, homeworld transfer
thanks a bunch : D
Help!? ;-;
Yeah you can play with the free.login campaign if your sub ran out
It did but I still can'ttt
I'm trying to level PLD and have read/been told a load of times to just spam the highest level dungeons I can because I should have super fast queues. But this doesn't seem to be the case. I'm currently sat in a 17m queue for Dzemael. Any advice?
Did the campaign start?
Yeah started 3 days ago and finishes 23 August
Hi so i just did the dancer quest but for some reason it won't allow me to wield the weapon or use the stone, anyone knows what i'm doing wrong?
Has Square E. ever explained why some scrip and tomestone stores don't have some items even if said store is on higher level content?
dzemael is an optional dungeon. you can try Stone vigil instead if itโs taking too long
Most likely one of your armoury inventory filling up by removing all the gear
I've read this like 5 times and I have no idea what it means
Thanks. It's an 18m wait too! ๐ฆ
think the person meant like some tome places dont have all anima stuff for example
The queue wait times are rarely accurate
are you enabling all languages?
also what time is it where you are?
Avg wait time=/=estimated wait time
But also yes you're on an EU server so if you enable queueing with other languages you will get much faster queues
feels like that ought be a PSA
after reaching rank 25 resistence rank how can i get buffs
just have it pop up in game every 10 minutes
as it turns out people speak like 20 different languages in the EU
Finish the bozja story
after that ?
Do Dalriada and finish thr story then go back into Zadnor and there will be a new blue to introduce it to you
Npc in zadnor
I'm finding they're usually longer!
This might be it, I will make some changes and see.
Thanks for the advice
Then your miles away from needing to worry about it
i just wanted extra buff
Then go do your bojzan story
ok Thanks
The perma buff is your reward for finishing the bozja story
where is the ninja guild? need to go back there but forgot where it was ๐
Whatever job you're leveling. The categories are: combat, Miner, Botanist, and fisher. All the combat roles are identical for retainers.
Wineport
thanks ๐
@lavish sierra
Hi, quick question for those who play on Elemental (JP DC) - is there any known difference between Carbuncle, Unicorn, and Gungnir (Legacy)? These are the only worlds I'm able to create a trial character on rn.
!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
Also
!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.
Hi all, I'm super confused by the social aspect of the game, is there 'guilds'? So far if I've had a question in game I just go to a crowded area and /yell lol
Free companies are guilds
Yes they're called free companies
ok, so don't do linkshells yet?
There those too
Linkshells are player created chat channels.
ohh I see
aye, I'm aware of that. I do have a "main" account that's in ShB after all. I just want to make a low-commitment free trial account, and these three are the only ones I could access rn, and I'm curious if there's anything notable to differentiate the three (Carbuncle, Unicorn, Gungnir) that JP DC players here have heard about.
Like my usual crowd we all from different FC so we made a LS
Without spoilers, shb removes the job quest in place of role quests?
And there is one for tank, dps, healer and ranged dps?
Ah, so dnc won't do for caster?
no, dancer will have the physical dps role quest
Oof

How is dancer like how much does it buff allies? Is it noticlable? Just trying to decide what to play tbh :c
I like the idea of buffing allies as a support and not so much being healy healer, dancer sounds like a blast as a supportive role
at what level will combat begin to feel more fluid roughly? I am 22 but my warrior still feels sorta clunky
hi guys! is there a way to place a waymark on a specific coordinate using text command?
warrior really picks up at about 50-60
Dancer buffs are part of their rotation. It's noticeable, but not huge. There are a couple of buffs not part of the rotation as well.
@indigo mural you partner with another player and give the a decent % bonus to damage when you use Standard Finish, and you'll have a party wide boost to damage later on. You also have a party-wide damage mitigation tool and a small aoe heal that triggers underneath you and your dance partner, it's a small amount but can save a healer an AoE heal cast if they're both stacked up when the party does a stack mechanic.
Yup. Just remember that dancer's buffs really shine when you work with other players.
You'll also have a 20% crit hit rate buff for you and your partner for 20 sec, but it's on a 2 minute CD.
Dancer has the most raid buffs in the game
Like, why does't eulmore have level 70 gear and folklore.
the 70 gear is in Idllshire anyways.
I have very important question to ask.
If I buy the Tales of Adventure: One Ninja's Journey II but I have only rogue at low level, will it transform my rogue to the lvl 70 ninja or do I have to grind rogue first to unlock ninja and then use this item?
nope, will take you straight to ninja
will i ever get one of those sexy Scions face tattoos?
70 is in Reach actually
It's problematic for people geting up their their other jobs, i don't see the point.
Ah, 60 is Idyll. oops
Is there a time limit on buying a key? I want to buy a key and hold onto it until I get some time to play
Keys are supposed to hold until' servers close forever or SE goes bankrupt, afawk
does it take long to get goldsmithing to level 50?
why wont it let me put matria on my gear with slots?
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
I cant decide I know you can eventually level everythign but im trying to choose between I think Machinist, Black mage and Dancer
choose whichever appeals to you the most
Spin the wheel of wild whimsy
What's the point in doing the weekly dwarf quest ?
Tanks
I mean the ones in komra
Oh that one
And like an orchestrion roll
Cool. Title and story
Oh ok ... Eh
Also is it possible to stop a mount from transforming when you fly. For example , Gabriel alpha
No that's their flying animation

Is it possible to buy to unlock dark knight but without skiping story? Is it possible get it at low level?
No
Whats the lowest lv you can buy it in?
50 and get to heavensward
you have to make it to heavensward, the NPC giving out the quest is in ishgard
What if I dont want to skip story
Can I replay everything lost with new game plus or something?
Oh so I just get the class and lv.50 and play as normal then?
Story Is MANDATORY
Yeah but I thought it skip me to the point where I unlock the class so then I had to go back somehow.
No
whisper people on other servers not possible right?
You can't skip story
But still lv.50 is high that means I'll destroy the early quests?
Not without paying
I dont want to skip anything but just unlock the class I like but I also dont want story content trivialized
Heavensward story starts at 50
Basically, you play through the MSQ until you hit Heavensward, then you can do the quest to unlock Dark Knight, which you then level up from 30.
If I pay to get dark knight I start at what lv 30?
When can I change my class to real class? Rn i'm Conjurer lv16
!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.
70 if you buy drk
I dont want to be so overleveled
Then do the story and level normally
Then you swap to DRK when you pick it up
But leveling other classes is part of the fun
Yeah but playing with a job you dont like could be like having a job you dont like in real life? How many hours must I work?
Itโs about 80 hours of msq until heavensward?
Plus, you might find you like the other jobs you level and end up not liking Dark Knight when you unlock it. You'll never know until you actually start playing for real.
Also what if you donโt like dark knight
!faq
im helping my friend go from free trial to full game, i remember when i upgraded i had to download a new launcher but i dont remember if I had to re-download the game or anything, does anyone else know if that's the case these days?
#kupo-bot-spam
Plus, Dark Knight is a tank, so if you don't want to tank then you might not want to play it anyways.
#kupo-bot-spam
This is a problem as well 
oh, sorry
Why can't I dps with dark knight?
ninja just became so much more fun now that I learned Ten and Chi ๐
Greatsword user cant dps so sad
i mean you still dps, youre expected to do dps, but youre also a tank
you have to know how to manage aggro/mitigation
Itโs a tank, but every class does damage
Oh so not a big tank
and not kill your team
there is no big or small tank, a tank is a tank, its a specific role
say you enter a dungeon, every dungeon will have one tank and a dark knight will fill that role
Healers are DPS who have to babysit the party
you'll be expected to lead the party through the dungeon and make sure the enemies are focused on you
Basically, every job is expected to be able to do damage (even healers) but the role it fills is that of a Tank.
case in point, while both tanks and healers still do DPS, its still a far cry from how much damage a real DPS does
I never been a tank before in mmo. This might turn out bad.
but youre still expected to push your buttons
!faq tankguide
Read that boom youโre good to tank
I care about the big pp dmg though
If you say I cant do that with my greatsword
I will be sad
Then Dark Knight isn't the job for you.

Can u get one that looks not like a katana?
i feel kinda stupid.. how do i put materia into my gear again?
i assumed its made through the materia menders in the main hubs but they dont like me?
its kinda like this, tanks are dps who happen to take the damage, healers are dps that just happen to babysit heal the party and dps are dps that ,,, do damage
!faq melding

Go unlock melding first
But usually dps do alot more dps in some game
You saying here no big dps loss then why use dps
Tanks do 70% of a dps damage
Ah ok
I mean TBF there have been an all-tank clear of UCOB
im saying it in a way where all the classes/roles are able to do damage, its just that they fit specific roles. either way im not good at words but its how i understand it
@faint flareoh im fucking stupid, i forgot i did a new char before i stopped and he doesnt have everything unlocked ๐คฃ thanks tho
i think there was a guide video that used that kind of phrasing and it helped wit my tanking better
Anyone based in EU that wants to help a brother out with Square Enix account creation? Everytime I try I get i2501 error code. I've reached out to support, but no luck.
I suppose if I dont want tank maybe machinist?
MCH gang
I used ranger dps before in other games and it looks cool
Dps
that would also require you to get to the heavensward quests to unlock it.
Guys Someone wana level with me im lvl 63 samurai ?
also need to be lvl50 on your main ob
But is he a big dmg dealer?
job*
@craggy vector what data center/world are you on?
yes, any job
100k damage on a crit drill do be pog
as long as those jobs are lvl50 and you've reached heavensward
@bright forge Spriggan Chaos
those are the only requirements
Can you get like a very big gun or will it always look like a pistol?
is final coil turn 2 not soloable? there is a death barrior that I can't get across
I tend to like heavy guns
Ik machinist has a variety of gun skills
but i havent bothered to level machinist bc DRK is cooler so idk
i only remember there being a flamethrower and a drill
@craggy vector Ah, nvm then
ok ๐
Did anyone recognize the DAW Soken used during his Live Letter presentation?
Thereโs a good variety, nothing quite as big as a bazooka tho
The mech is pretty sick tho
How do I grind company seals
It's an untargetable npc that does its own thing to the target you're attacking for the duration it's out/
honestly the mech/turret is just a fanfcy DoT
the one ability you control is that you can activate its big finishing move early
I see
Is the dmg really good if I master it? I dont want to focus on it and then people not going to run it on hardest raid cause its not meta or something
Bur you know how people are
Not here
If they think machinist is lowest range dps
im a bit confused, what is it that i need to do to get my first mount? im level 29 right now, do i need some quest or?
They will choose other jobs
This isn't WoW, we don't do that here.
I dont want to be the lowest one I guess
Those are shit players
if i buy this version of the game, does it come with a subscription, and do i need the base game too?
https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/final-fantasy-xiv-shadowbringers-pc/
Your first mount is part of the MSQ, you can't miss it.
There is no meta here
Do your fucking job
And your fine
Press your buttons and you're better than most
Sorry didnt mean to annoy you Tails
i cant view the page cuz regions but if its just shadowbringers and not complete edition then yeah you need the base game/starter edition still
Yes, like it says on the store page "This product requires the base game FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition." - the base game comes with 30days of gametime though
Only people who care for non existent meta are shit players who want to be carried
Shadowbringers is the Expansion pack set. If you do not have the Starter edition than it's useless until you get it. If you don't have the Starter and wall all of it, get the Complete Edition.
I dont want to upset anyone I just questioned cause I seen it happen in other games but I will believe you. Usually there are guys like that.
@lyric rapids get this for the full package https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition/
I've heard some stories of people being picky about jobs but those are usually end game raiders and usually dicks if they're forcing people into specific jobs.
If anyone tries to block any job from joining content, they're a fucking idiot
for like 90% of content no one will care what job you do as long as you do it right
is there maybe a sale going for the game somewhere?
The closest thing to a meta we have, is some groups preferring to have a Red Mage/Summoner for having an extra job that can raise during blind progression for Ultimate and Savage raids, but even that isn't required by most groups since they'd rather you be on a job you know.
What about the 10% now this worries me
When you do speed runs, which 99.9999% of people don't, there's a meta
@peak gust the reason for specific jobs is more so unique jobs for each player when doing uhh
savage raids or something, i can't recall
theres a bonus or smth
but yes
99% of the time no one cares
The 5% who care about non existent meta are shit players who want carries and yoy don't want to be playing with them anyway
@lyric rapids the steam sale just ended 2 days ago, don't know if theres another going on sorry. that said you can just get the trial version and play up to lvl60 with the full base game and 1st expansion if you want to try it first
Like Vinyl said, it's better to learn how to play than not
that's actually a really low percentage. The only ones who do so are min-maxers and they don't really get much support.
Press <๐673891041836924940> your ๐ buttons ๐ and do ๐ your ๐ job
i am already level 54 but the trial limitations are killing me and i am probably playing the whole game anywya xD but thanks
ahhh okay thanks, yeah i just googled the main quest chain and i guess i leveled up a lot faster than i should have
People are faster to kick shit players who can't do mechanics then someone on X job
Ah yea I understand, sometimes Amazon has the complete edition on sale too, could check if your local amazon has it right now
But @faint flare you can assure me I can do the hardest challenge in the game right?
Yes
Common these days. ARR has had a number of XP boosts over the years.
Any job can do any content for sure
!faq meta
Every job can do every content
Like a comment from.above. people care about whether you can do mechs correctly than whether you're playing x job
With enough practice and knowledge of your job, you can handle Ultimates, yes.
People yelled that dark wasn't "meta" but it was world first for Alexander ultimate cause the guy liked the job
So
Fuck the shit players who have no idea what a combo is
You can do it, but only if you git gud
We take absolutely no responsibility for your potential inability to git gud
Ok but I want to play machinist like now 
!faq metameme
I havent raided high end, but im pretty sure unless you mess up your rotation so badly that you fail dps checks or enrages, you're gonna be fine
!faq hwjobs
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.
Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".
You can't do endgame shit til youre actually at endgame anyways
That you're going to have to wait till you get to HW content for.
Can't I skip to unlock class then go back?
nope
No
striclty linear
New game plus dont work for it?
You would need to skip story and level boost
Like what vinyl tails mentioned, learn your job rotation, push buttons, ddo the mechs. You're good to go
No. NG+ is for reliving the story, nothing else.
What will I be missing? I wont need xp since they giving me high lv anyways
Don't be too fixated on 1 job is my recommendation
You're given the freedom to use every job
MCH starts at 30 like drk
Exploit that fact
how long do i have that newbie logo in my name
So you need xp to catch back up to the skipped story
All the story and the level boost will dump you with a bunch of skills you don't understand
@gentle arrow 168hrs + reach shb
This not a problem im that concerned about
ty
Mainly about story I miss and important stuff
Also I would like to not 1 shot everything
Has to have some challenge dont want to do it if I feel like overleveled
Dungeons and scripted story encounters will scale you down if you are too high level, that said the story stuff isn't really very challenging in general
Ok so Vinyl I can do new game plus then and I dont miss anything?
It's hard to one shot stuff unless you're EXTREMELY overlevelled and geared
NG+ let's you replay story yes
Replay I assume it scales?
No
So I will destroy everything?
You're still gonna be overlevelled for overworld stuff if you skip
Skipping story to then play New Game+ seems a bit weird, way better to have the more natural progression
Dungeons and instances you get level synced
@peak gust maybe try out archer first, and switch to mch later if you're into ranged dps
I guess no choice then
Its quite a waste of money honestly and your experienced will be skewed i guess
If not wanting to be overpowered is your concern
I come from wow and the story here is much better like this feels more like a final fantasy game first and mmo second so I wouldnt buy skip
There are also a lot of unlock-quests for new dungeons, game mechanics etc you get on the way, idk if skipping gives them to you automatically but I feel it's better to get them while doing the story, so you dont get dumped with 500 unlock quests at once
@gentle arrow Point was I could use new game plus to still get same story
But then the overleveled part ruins it so whatever I must be an archer for a week
Thanks for all the help
@peak gust maybe look into other jobs and make a better informed decision
I seen videos mainly
It just seems to me that for you a 'wrong' job will give you a bad experience
But im very picky
As someone who played through every single job on the free trial to max, every job is fun
i dont know where i can find my main quest, i dont have one active at the moment
is that intentional or am i missing something? (im level 16-18)
Check the msq tracker
Should be on the top left of your screen
quick Q - just did Cape Westwind trial for the first time (WHM) - I play on ~200MS from Australia, it felt impossible to get out of the AoE attack in time?
is that normal?
You need to move out basically the moment you see it
ah okay
I felt like I did but must have just missed it ๐ฆ
noticed the second time there was a warning message that he was charging it up and moved as soon as that came up instead seemed to work
but idk if that warning message was just a duty finder perk slowing the mechanic down the 2nd run?
i appreciate the help and i'll let you know soon but im currently logging in with a queue
question, how fast do blm high sps cast times look like with the high sps build? like how long would i be casting stuff like fire iv and thunder iii, etc
@faint flare What would be fastest way unlock mch? Just spam main story quests?
@peak gust same deal as drk and ast
ah i see now, i couldnt understand what was going on for 30 min
Sorry for me pinging you for this
@solar wyvern no worries! It happens
You have to get to HW first. There's no two ways around it.
Any way to get like some kind of black outline for text in duty list? Hard to read it in bright environments
What's the quickest/shortest dungeon to run for loot (to trade into GC seals)? I'm level 50
@solar wyvern just in case, any available job quests also appears right below the msq on the same tracker
Yes, story is mandatory
Remember to do those as you get them
Dont have to be archer I assume its because its range dps thats recommended?
Any job
just be a combat class
Do Level 50 dungeons and roll on everything.
Though archer shares gear with machinist so you'll have gear ready for it through the levels
But doesn't have to be
Yeah, just wondering if any specific dungeon is fast for this. I've been doing dungeons but they take so long xD
You'll definitely be at lvl 50 anyways when you reach heavenswaed
@leaden ginkgo experience from the previous moogle tome event, if your party can keep.upn wandering palace is fast if you w2w everything
I'll give wanderer's palace a try, thanks
What are some of the best settings to turn down to improve benchmark scores specifically in the old sharlayan section. I keep improving my score in the other sections but I can't get that chunk to budge much
Best server to be on for a old mmorpg player but new ffxiv?

Server doesn't matter
Got it! Thanks.
quick question
when a server is full
how long do you have to wait for the restriction to be lifted?
hey guys, how is it that i see some summoners use ifrit pet abilities but the pet thats actually out is carbuncle. is there a pet transmog?
!faq serverlock

Egi glamour yes
@manic schooner yes there is
ty!!
Nope
nothing else?
Nope!
The game tells you how to search up the commands too when you unlock the feature
ohhh cool!!! Awesome, thanks guys!
Carby best egi
indeed!
so where would be the level 60 version of this? or rather, how/what do i farm for the level 60 and 70 versions later.
the same currency as i was already doing now?>
do commerical survival manual exp boosts work on leves and stuff?
i'd like to do dailies for these, and then just continue the main story quests
or I guess just gathering
Idyllshire/ishgard sundry splendor for lv60 poetic gear...Rhalgars/kugane sundry splendors (after beating stormblood) for 70 poetic gear
do i just continue doing the dailies?
at what point should I stop using spells like Cure & Medica in favour of their rank II spell as the minimum?
As soon as you get them
assuming at some point it'll just not be worth fishing for the free cure II anymore for example
or do i need an alternative currency aside from those black tokens
Cure 1 is replaced immediately. Medica isn't in a essence
Never fish for freecure
Ah yes medica is different
do i just keep collecting those until level 70?
You.get new currency at 80 for gear
Yes
Poetics are the old Content currency
well ofc, this is just the easy-way for the old content i assume
Yes
so the mana is sustainable still casting just Cure 3s as needed?
When endwalker hits, our curre t tome gear will be buyable with poetics
i see. so i just do dailies etc. thanks
You rarely cure 3 unless people are stacked since its aoe
Cure 3 isn't an upgrade of cure 2
sorry, should've said 2
Do dancers have special dance emotes other than the normal dance?
But yes, using lucid on Cooldown covers all your mana
As long as everything is going normally, you can safely use cure 2 without mana worries
sweet
Nope, no special emotes
well, not spam cure 2, right?
:(
so essentially when I've got Cure III stop using Medica
No
no
Cure 3 is smaller range and more mana
you still preferably use cure 1 i'd assume
though i suppose it does take time
forget about cure 1 unless you're synced down
Medica is a HoT, Cure III is a straight heal.
Medica 2*
medica 2 is a hot
hey guys, when I entered pvp location (quest) I saw that all combo was on 1 hotkey, how do I do that?
Useful for stack mechanics and Cure bombing the group for heal checks
In Normal content? You dont
oh so it's only pvp thing?
not sure how you are supposed to not go oom on an heavy-pulling tank on like level 32, when you only have lucid dreaming basically
Yes
yeh I'm talking about Medica vs Cure 3
damn, that looked so usefull, so much free hotkeys
Medica is bigger range and cost less mana and used more often
is it normal that healers always have insta queue? normally in other games its tanks?
Since people want to stay in africa
The only reason you would be going oom is if the tank is taking more damage than they should/dps isn't killing fast enough
ahh right
Yes, tanks usually have fast ques as well
Otherwise you're just overhealing
tanks are fastest, healer pretty good too
If I use class boost book thingy, can I still somehow get coffers from class quests that were skipped?
level 32 "killing fast enough" is kinda meh
what would you say is easier for new players dps tank or heal ?
dps
Tanks get quick queues as well. Frequency fluctuates based off new jobs so EW should in theory see Tanks getting queues faster than heals.
depends on your mmo experience though
50 and 70 gear via calamity salvager, 60 gear via centurio seals at the forgotten knight
hi, how do you avoid the sable price when soloing aery?
kill him faster
Kill the boss faster
what are the crystal tower series? Im stuck at a lvl 50 main quest
well I always played dps in mmo's, but that was so long ago, currently playing paladin but I don't like how he feels, although I'm only level 40
All are pretty easy early on. By the time the different challenges come into play you should have enough knowledge to see you through.
what if thats not an option?
!quest Legacy of Allag
This chain
it casts before i get to kill it
depends on your mmo experience
obviously a tank from other mmos will have an easy time tanking.
healer is hardest/most responsibility (most blamed)
but everyone has an easy time playing dps in early game content.

Sanding It Down
no, i was asking if it's still possible? so i guess no?
There's genuinely no other way
is my lvl 30 job also part of MSQ?
Awesome, thx a lot
No, job quests are separate.
k ty
as dps early on, you just press damage spells. and you step out of the orange (fairly slow) indicators.
so DPS is as straight forward as it possibly gets @untold path
well i gues im stuck, i cant compelte this alliance raid..
is there a go-to resource for FF job guides? Would like to read up a bit more on WHM
Ontop of doing your class quests
saltedxiv looks pretty legit
Weskalber for levelling rotations on YouTube. Balance discord for endgame
Adding onto my question earlier about what I wanna play. Is Astrologist gonna give me the support playstyle I want, since it can main heal, and has its cards? How does it buffs compare to Dancers
yeah thought so, I just can't decided to stick with pld until I get more skills or switch now since I'm not far ahead
Just wait in the que, it pops quite frequently
thanks!!
@untold path tank is a comparatively more advanced.... but still very straight forward.
healer.... well... early on nobody cares if you are a 24/7 heal bot with 0 dps either.
so you are fine with anything. just play what looks cool and fun to you
Buffs are smaller impact since they're 30s
@faint flareThanks, i will try
im sure im not the only one to run into this. but what do i do if I ordered the endwalker bundle and i want to play the game now until its release?
well, will stick with pld then and maybe try dk or gnb later
all tanks, huh?
As in you bought the endwalker expansion? Then you can play up to HW with the Starter Edition.
yeah they look the coolest to me , I like beefy jobs
@faint flare Like 30s duration?
i bought the complete with endwalker, and i can't redeam the code. when i go in to buy the complete edition without the expansion they remove it from my cart
also healer in endwalker looks amazing so probably will pick him up then, and dragoon \ reaper
15s buff with 30s Cooldown
Are the hydra and chimera trials part of roulette?
On cards
Yes
Oh neat
hello, I made a fist fighter, but I learned it mostly use positional attack, maybe not for me even if I like the looks. When/how can I change to some other class?
Where did you buy it from?
SE store
After doing your lv10 class quest
Ahh ok
Reach lvl 10 and do your job quest and you'll have permission to join other guilds
they think im trying to buy multiple copies of the game, so they remove the complete from my cart
which is true because they won't let me play with the 60$ i just dropped on them
ok, so I only need to get to lvl 10, thats not to bad, il stick it out to 10 then!
Check in the Mog Station. The titles might be already added to your account.
nah, they want a code on mog station, which i can't redeem till NOV
hey guys, how do u make SAM's hold their katana backwards?
Male exclusive. Unsheath weapon /cpose n
Be a male
its male idle stance with weapon unsheathed
And /cpose
Or the natural idle animation
Females hold it in front
ohhh that command hahaha . yep im a male. thanks!
Does EW complete edition exist? AFAIK theres only the expansion standalone unless im outdated
oh your right its not complete its collectors edition
how do you login to the ffxiv benchmark? and is there a way to make it fullscreen?
@leaden ginkgo ah then you shouldn't have an issue buying the complete edition unless you already own starter or shadowbringer for some reason
Okay, that's different. That code won't be applicable till Nov. You will need Either the Starter Edition if you want to wait till Nov for SB and ShB content or the Complete Edition if you can't wait till then.
little mad with how convoluted this is
Its not really though. The complete edition is really cheap with 4 games worth of content
they won't let me buy it ๐
Its not in stock
hey guys, is it safe to use gshade
Yes
for a white mage, should i get raptor stew or knight's bread?
only concern there is, will i be able to activate the new expansion when it comes out? or will they be jerks about it then?
Yup, it's in high demand right now with a lot of new players. You can try to be put on the waiting list.
There won't be an issue. The only reason you can't buy the complete edition now is because its oos
Not because of duplicate purchases
gmg = green man?
As long as you have the code you'll be able to enter it. Technically EW is in your account already. The code is for the Collector edition goodies.
When I try to install the benchmark, it installs Shadowbringer's benchmark, not endwalker.. what
thanks all. i didn't think it was really out of stock
!faq benchmark
Thats where I downloaded it from o.o
Oops then I'm not sure whats the issue
They've has a big influx of players in so it's going to take a bit to geterate the keys.
Says Shadowbringer
not entirely correct. you do need the 2nd code to actually flag your account as owning endwalker
pre-order code only flags you for early access
Uh guys why the gate to western coerthas closed? MSQ ask me to go there but the gate is closed
The gate from Foundation?
you need to talk to the chocobo keep
to get to falcon's nest
Yeah, you need to unlock flying in western coertahs before you can ope nthe gate to falcons nest
talk to the chocokeeper
Npcs said to use it
Aww jeez thanks! I thought the game is bugged or something
can i cancel fantasia use ?
don't accept the changes to the editor
Yea don't be like me. I wasted a fantasia on 0 changes
ouch
ah i see thanks !
oof
I hadnt known that fantasias were kinda valuable.. almost vendored it until my friend yelled at me lmao
is BLM hard for newboe
Yea apart from the free one you get from finishing ARR, its mog station only aka real cash
yup
@sour pumice you can mess around with the editor as much as you want as long as you dont save the changes
No class is really hard. Once it starts getting complex you'll be used to the play style of it.
I had a brain fart moment and spammed confirmed all the way
i see
Though SMN is a steep spike from "mediocre" to "great" play style.
Hello - wondering if someone might know where I could get these quests? I checked the wiki of where they're given (Waking Sands) but i'm already at Patch 2.5 MSQ questlines
returning player since Heavensward, i guess im getting shadowbringers to catchup to content since the endwalker preorder doesn't. does that sound right?
Oh!
I got stuck on that too
Talk to Urianger, Thancred, and Papalymo in Waking sands
off to the left
i tried but i didn't see that they were offering quests there
It you cant pick one of them up, it means you havent completed the trial for the previous one
have you done the trials ?
Recurring Problem?
THe first one is for Iffrit, which oyu get from thancred, if hes not there then do the trial you unlocked with him
bowl of embers hard i think
yeah that's the one i'm trying to find
When you ge tinside the waking sands (if you're in the conference room you've gone too far) they're in a room off to the right of the intersection.
does it make sense to have 1 heal 1 tank and 1 dps job? or do u only really play one in endgame
then papalymo should become available
let me see if i have gotten the previous quest
you can play any class at any time i think

You can play any job you want whenever you want as long as you have it unlocked.
you can't change jobs in the middle of combat nor in instances
^
but outside of that, you're free to change whenever
How do i get this weapon? :o
do the shadowbringers relic chain
you need to have completed the Return to Ivalice raid series to be able to start it, however
Ah okay, is it hard to get?
No
so im playing a gladiator atm and its 29. what happens if i dont do the 30 paladin quest and continue to earn xp with glad? will i start the paladin as 1 or the level that i was on my glad? same question goes for the dark knight. what will happen when i do the quest at 50? thanks in advance. cheers!
Paladin IS gladiator
are there weapons that are really rare like less than 1% of players have it? or is everything sorta easily obtainable in endgame
However dark knight is a different job
Weapons from ultimate
As that's the ultra high end of high end content
so my glad job level will carry to paladin level
There's some like Ultimate gear but it's mainly glamour.
but for dark knight it will go to level 1 like when i equip my pickaxe as miner?
You become a paladin at 30 right?
30
when you get the souls
when i equip the dark knight weapon ofc
level 30 but yes.
Figured it out - had to get "A Recurring Problem" quest from Minfilia in the Solar first for the Hard trial quests to unlock
:D
Youre all good then?
Yeah, forgot to mention that.. kinda forgot about minfilia
It is tracked under the main scenario tracker now
why does it always seem like i get my mats back when i fail synthesis? i only fail it uncommonly
Well most do. ๐
getting lucky with rng ๐คทโโ๏ธ
anyone know how to fix error i2501 when registering? I tried mobile data, no vpn, different emails, and different days when registering, still get the error
Its saying its related to incorrect payment info o.o
unfortunately i2501 is stupid broad error
Ahh
And if none of those fixed then at this point try contacting support
really not much can do about it sadly
i tried the live chat, and then they asked me to email them stuff
which they never replied to 
ohhh i havent tried that one yet
Hi Everyone, I'm another one of the Dirty wow Converts, I'm about level 21, Can i ask, Do i have to do all the quests in each place? or can i just do the main story line quests and Archery quests.
you can focus on the main scenario quest and your class/job quests
Fellow wow refugee
YOu dont have to do every quest in areas
are also strongly recommended to do as they unlock content (barring "So you want to be x" as these are class/job unlocks, and "Leves of X", these are leve unlocks and aren't really good for combat jobs)
are largely there for lore/world building
and don't really give that great of xp
The only quests that are required are MSQ. It's advisable that you do side quests that unlock something (the blue ones with a + on them) but they're not required. Anything else is optional.
well job quest's aren't optional
Am I unable to queue matched for potd floor 51 with a friend?
I was trying to queue us and it was saying "One of your party members doesnt meet the requirements"
You can If they also have it unlocked
They do
Do they need to clear 51-60 first?
That's depends on your definition of optional. ๐
both of you need to have a slot cleared too
Ah okay
if i get the OTP, and i get a free teleport location, after i set it can i change it to somewhere else? is it basically a second "return"? or once i set it it stays there, same question for favored locations, are they permanent or can they be changed?
yes you can change the location
No
thats great, thanks ^^
again, depends on your definition. Just because you're nerfing yourself HEAVILY by not doing it doesn't mean you are required to do it. ๐
i accidentally set the country while registering to US instead of Great Britain, I wonder if i can still change that in the account?
support might be able to change it, but i'm not entirely certain of that
you may need to remake the account
yea, ive been trying to remake but keeps giving me error i2501
v_v well i'd try talking to support then
The Endwalker benchmark download link is still bringing me to the SHadowbringers benchmark.. why ;_; I just want a bunny boi 
Does Peleton and Sprint stack movement speed?
No
Sprint overwrites all
highest movement speed always takes priority
Gotchu
so even if you have both buffs, you're not getting movement speed from both
where do i go to buy a house
The respective housing wards
And talk to the placard of an open plot
Have fun finding an open plot
Basically don't exist
where is that on the map tho
Use the aetherytes of main cities to get to them
Once you've done Where the Heart is (X) quest
Does anyone know which PVP items (bought with wolf marks) give the most GC Seal per Wolf Mark?
Like what's the most optimal items to buy and trade in for seals
the ilvl 205 stuff, accessories/belt are cheapest purchases
and turn in for 1100~ gc seals
When were they removing belts? Is that coming with Endwalker, or a patch? o:
am I able to play my account on both PC and console?
it will be with endwalker
ah
yes but you need to buy the game on both platforms
can I trade those in even if I'm too low level to equip them? I assume so
oh ok but still neat ๐ฎ
should be able to turn them in, yes
awesome
is there a free 2 week thing going on right now? i saw an ad for it, but i can't log in currently
has your sub been in active for 30 days or more
maybe not a full 30 days
then you're not eligible yet.
has to be 30 days for it to be eligible. It's meant to entice players that left to return, not function as a bonus play time.
poop
i resubbed for 30 days 2 days before the free 15 popped up ๐ o well
ran out of game time and couldn't afford to get more currently. what hurts the most is i forgot to cancel my wow sub and it took what would have gone to ffxiv
tbc wasn't worth it
question: is there any point in getting latest expansion if i dont have any char over lvl 50 yet?
mmmm if i change from the free trial version to the full one do i have to redownload everything or it just updates and adds more files ๐ค ?
Not at this point. The SB jobs don't unlock till 50.
ITll automatically become a full account
It updates itself ofc but
No installing things
Just the account status changes. IT basically unlocks the stuff that is locked out.
Aside from preorder bonuses not really
oh ty, i was scared this first download already leaving me traumatized ๐ฅ
@plush hound @warm snow Thanks. appreciate it
I feel that p.p I did mine recently, the update is a little tedious, not as bad as the initial install
If you're super invested the preorder of Endwalker gives you a +30% exp earring
hmm thanks. question about that. how much XP in this game comes from killing mobs vs bonuses from quests and dungeons?
do you need to apply dye before you place an item in your glamour dresser?
Overworld mob exp is garbage
like i had the 25% recruit a friend one. im over leveled from story, but i feel the chunks come from story
YOu dye them once you apply them to a plate
Dresser does not
Outside of Blue Mage you won't be getting much from mob kills.
remove dyes
No?
armoire does
Your exp comes from main story for your first job
so the 30% buff would only make a difference from dungeon mobs? and Levemete/Fate for 2nd job?
That said, the earring is really nice for dungeons
in reality?
since the bulk of your exp in those are coming from mob kills
bosses give big chunks of exp, so it makes it an even bigger chunk.
Hello. Where can i get the Veteran rewards ? How to pick them up in game ?
makes sense
is it hard to make a character on a world the game currently deems too full?
Alright guys. I know im going to get mixed messages here but should I buy ARR MSQ skip?
Nah, you just have to wait until after peek hours when most people are either asleep or at work.
Thank you
It usually a case of peak hours. Trying later on might help.
ahh, okay. was worried a friend couldn't join me
IMHO no, the story is setup for almost everything that comes after
I wouldnโt unless you have a lvl 50 job already
I'm a bit confused as to what the road map is in this game. When do i start looking for gear and relic weapon. I'm in realm reborn right now.
If youve done it already then sure, but not if youre new lol
im not a huge reader man ill be honest. Could i even just watch a hour or two recap on youtube?
you basically focus on the msq which will keep you geared until max lvl at which point you can get into raids, if you want, for better gear
when you're max lvl. msq keeps you pretty geared
my fav gae of all time is darj souls 3 and i didnt listen to the story at al , i jsut watched lore recaps for weeks after as i played
Thank u
if you're not super keen on story, then feel free to skip
This isn't like other MMO's. The story is the primary draw of the game.
can always replay it later with ng+
This is BLM fire phase rotation I'm looking at. I'm at zero MP after Despair so am I supposed to use Transpose after? Or am I missing something and not supposed to have no MP?
So I have the game up to Strom bringer am I allowed to to storm ringer gear raif content after I reach 80 or do I have to do all msq to be able to
Cause I really want to get that neir costume
you mean shadowbringers, and you can do the nier raids once you finish 5.0 main scenario quest
don't need to do post shadowbringers msq
Later you can cast B3 without any mana cost out of fire phase, but for now you use Transpose, yes
You get a trait at 72, along with despair, that makes it so you can cast opposite element for no cost at 3 stacks
Yesss sry about that
Ohhhh that makes sense: Aspect Mastery. Thank you
is Aesthete's set current crafting bis?
assuming you meld it, yes
hey everyone, i want to play ff14 again but i forgot my password. i asked to send a mail but then they send me a mail with a link where i have to login again(?!). can someone help me?
assuming...? And if i can't afford to overmeld it, there is something better?
Not sure if it's me but I'm playing astrologian and when I draw a card and try to convert it to king or queen of crowns (or w/e they called) but it just doesn't work. I end up with no card to play. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong.
if you're not willing/can't overmeld it then you should use handsaint
how do i start eden 5 quest? im just done with eden gate sepulture, not sure where to go now
sounds like you're playing lord/lady on yourself by accident?
I hit the skill to convert it but I wind up with nothing on the play button. It's so weird.
it's all one button now
Level 59 Astro
You don't convert then play
Oh?
You don't convert the card, you hit minor arcana to play it
where can i get my hands on handsaint set?
OH
so ya sounds like you are playing it on yourself
you buy it with white scrips
you did The Next Piece of the Puzzle, yes?
i'm fresh lvl 80 crafter, and didn't finish shb yet, so stupid question, but can i get white scrips yet?
I think so long as you've unlocked the eulmore house of splendors should be able to
last time i went to Eulmore we ||pissed off the fat guy|| and i wasn't even able to attune to aetherite...
yeah the aetheryte attunement is a lot later
but eulmore house of splendors can be unlocked earlier. Just need to complete the msq "City of Final Pleasures"
which is lvl 70
but you also have to have done the side quest "Go West, Craftsman"
how do i access my minions? just got the airship
so if you don't see the first quest i mentioned, might wanna check mor dhona for the "go west, craftsman" one
but i cant find it?
minion guide
if you used the item, it'll be in your minion guide
i think i did Go West already... i guess imma try going to Eulemore again soon
ah didnt know i had to use it makes sense now cheers
I unlocked flying in ARR, is flying faster speed than ground? (outside the obvious ability to ignore terrain)
Pretty new to the game, I'm a level 25 Arcanist. Do I need to finish all my class quests to unlock a job?
Yes it's the max speed
yes
Yes they're mandatory to do

And main story pass slyph management
Oh about the story is it ok to skim/skip realm reborn story?
I care about all the other expansion since I heard good things about them
But realm reborn gameplay seems fun so I kinda keep skipping it
is there a colored loot rarity heirarchy? If so what is it?
Will I still understand heavensward story

Skimming is fine,
as long as you get the main context of the story it's fine
and once you get invested in the characters it's really nice playing through the expansions and seeing character development
not exactly but white (crafted/vendor) > green (usually dungeon, some times crafted) > blue (usually raid/tomestone, some times crafted) > purple (relic)
from lowest to highest. that said though doesn't always fit neatly like that
do the Angel Wings normally go on discount during the Make It Rain event?
angel wings are new so its never been part of make it rain
ah, thanks
note that angel wings disappear as soon as you enter combat
but looking at garland, no they're not going to be discounted this make it rain
Is it possible to use 1h at max level as WHM?
no
I like the aestethics of 1h/shield over staff
1h stop being a thing after 50
Nope
Im crying so much in glam rn
How do i actually put my angel wings on
Under fashion accessories
thanks!
Like a parasol
I'm level 65, so can I purchase a lvl 80 piece of gear and turn it into glamour?
And then where that piece...or do I need to be same level
Not until that piece of armor is level 80 aswell
but you can put it in the dresser
Hi all, I'm new to this game. I have watched some videos on which classes are recommended for beginners and so far the gladiator, archer and thaumaturge have been recommended the most and seem fun to me as well. Are these classes indeed good for beginners?
i try to play the game again from a big break and wana play mch anyone have a decent hotbar :0
what does the quest marker with the plus sign mean?
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
thanks!
How do I abandon leve quests? My quest journal is full and I can't accept any new quests because of all these leve quests.
Thanks all
The leve is at the bottom
You need to fail it
That isn't a leve quest
Leves of X aren't leves
Leves themselves go at the bottom
is it rude to make a party finder asking for people who havent done bahamut to get the newcomer poetic bonus lmao
I want to get rid of the "Leves of X" quests
so, is repairing equipment recommended if you don't have the skill for it?
I don't even know where cause when you click "map" it always ays unable to open map at this time
how do I know which leve at the bottom corresponds to the "leves of x" at the top?
Click the map on that leve
depends on where that leve is located normally
Doesnโt the leve also have a lvl listed
Someone told me last night to get enough poetics for a weapon asap once I finish ARR, is this the right one for warrior?
there are several leves at the bottom for lvl 30 but only 2 at the top for Leves of X.....
No
man this sucks. Just wanted to do some quests...
Ironworks is what you want
do you need to unlock all logos actions to unlock the elemental armor? a reddit thread i found said 50 but i have that and still nothing
@faint flare thanks!
do poetics reset every week ? i see some countdown and i wonder if i need to spend them
do i ultimately need to complete the base game main story line even if i ding 50 long before finishing it?
ah okay, i assume it unlocks stuff
It unlocks The entire game
xD
Itโs why buying story skip without a lvl skip and vice versa isnโt that smart
how to utilize Make it rain's MGP bonus outside of running GATE all day long? ๐ค
is there a way to make point and click abilities just be cast on mose location?
No
I've been leveling the second one, cause I'm scared of the first being busier
How many memories of dying drop from the ivalice and mhach raids? Like per run?

Ty!
how do i get there?
