[verbal rune]

Basically you have an hunting log where if you kill the monsters, it nets you some exp

[dark copper]

he doesn't have access to the epic of alexander? and ultimate weapon refrain?

[stray carbon]

with some for ultimates

[verbal rune]

Arr is also pretty slow

[stray carbon]

epic of alexander is shadowbringers content

[verbal rune]

Might want to just go trought it with 1-2 job and hit HW

[stray carbon]

the other two are stormblood

also ultimate raids are the endgame of the endgame raids, even vets struggle to do it, not the best idea for a new player

[placid musk]

For the HUD is it possible to hide the HP/MP Bar and have it reappear when I'm in a battle?

[stray carbon]

its a "joke class" but in a overtuned type of way

its like a big piece of sidecontent and a fun minigame of sorts collecting spells

its also capped at level 70 meaning you cant use it in current content

[honest anvil]

BLU is a lifestyle

[stray carbon]

^

[honest anvil]

it’s a side content that needs some serious commitment to get even half of it done

well slight exaggeration but you’ll see

[stray carbon]

but in exchange you get a very memey strong class that jumps miles around old content

and its a very fun class when your tired of doing regular ff14 stuff

[fading helm]

anyone wanna run arr extreme trials to help me get unicorn mount

[honest anvil]

you can solo them

[stray carbon]

you can solo all of them unsynced

[honest anvil]

takes 30 secs each

[fading helm]

im too low level?

i think

[stray carbon]

levi takes around 2 mins

what level are you

70+ is good enough

[fading helm]

62

[stray carbon]

id recommend you just grind msq before going back to farm ponies

much more convinient to solo them

[fading helm]

eh i just want a cool mount lol

all mine are lame

[stray carbon]

msq gives you cool mounts

3 of them

4

[fading helm]

im almost done with heavensward and only got one mount so far and its ugly lol

[stray carbon]

1 in arr, 2 in heavensward, 1 in stormblood msq

[boreal storm]

Hey Cid worked hard on that thing

[open coral]

You should have three mounts by the end of HW

[fading helm]

hmm

3 from HW?

oh yeah the chocobo, the ship, and whats the last?

[stray carbon]

the ship and ||misgardomr||

[boreal storm]

You’ll see

[stray carbon]

you get the magitek mount in arr too

[fading helm]

o cool u get him as a mount

i always use him as my minion its my favorite one

[open coral]

Oh, it's 5 then, by the end of HW

[dark copper]

which ARR ex trials reward nightmare again?

titan ifrit and garuda?

[boreal storm]

Ye

[dark copper]

but not shiva, ramuh or levi?

[stray carbon]

all 6 do

only arr ex trials that dont are odin and moggle

once you get all 6 ponies you exchange it for kirin

[boreal storm]

Specifically those 3 because Nightmare has bits and bobs of Titan, Garuda, and Ifrit horse

[dark copper]

just talking about nightmare mount

[solid basin]

I contacted support to cancel my EW preorder since i preorder on the wrong region and they say they've cancelled it but when i check the eu order page it still says pending. Should i be concern with it?

[dark copper]

not the ponies

[slate arrow]

maybe, but just wait for monday

[stray carbon]

every expansion has a "animal mount" theme basically for the ex trials

[slate arrow]

since it's the weekend

[leaden ginkgo]

DO YOU GET CHALLENGE LOG EXP AUTOMATICALLY?

caps*

mb

[stray carbon]

hw has birds, sb as dogs, and shb has dragons

[boreal storm]

Ping

[slate arrow]

yes

[knotty lily]

Ye, once you complete whatever it is it tells you to do

[dark copper]

i know but i was talking about the nightmare mount specifically

[solid basin]

hmm alright

[stray carbon]

you said that already

[pastel wasp]

Can I ask questions about buying the game here or is it just in game stuff

[manic flare]

the ffxivconsole gameswiki says something different

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Nightmare

[stray carbon]

ik

i just wrongly assumed at first

ive heard it 3 times already

[lone stone]

guys to swap jobs i gotta lvl till 10 or complete all lvl 10 quest?

[boreal storm]

The lvl 10 class quest

[open coral]

Level 10 as your first job and complete the class quest.

[lone stone]

which is the class quest?

im confused, im at lvl 10 atm but no idea about quest

[open coral]

The quests you're supposed to be doing every 5 levels at your class trainer

[boreal storm]

The thing beneath the msq banner

[open coral]

They're

At your class guild hall

[boreal storm]

the game mentions them in a big text box whenever you reach certain levels

[lone stone]

oh okay okay, guildmaster seems to have that symbol

after is done what is next step? visit the new guild?

[open coral]

Yes, after that you'll go to the guild or trainer for whichever class you want to pick up and take the starting quest, also a

[boreal storm]

Yeah, just go to the guilds you wanna join

[open coral]

For ARR classes, the quests are all named "So You Want to Be A (class name)"

[manic flare]

what do people generally use more in the endgame...potions or food?

[open coral]

Stat potions, and endgame food.

[lone stone]

omg, quest takes me so far ;-; time to walk like a dummy

thank you guys!

[boreal storm]

You can warp back

If you’ve been attuning

[buoyant sorrel]

Is crafted HQ gear better pre lvl 50 or should I use the green dungeon gear?

[manic flare]

dungeon gear

[buoyant sorrel]

Really? Huh, so mb then?

[open coral]

Unless you're making it yourself, or having someone else make it for free, dungeon gear is more than good enough.

You can't buy it on the MB

Just get it from dungeons

[knotty lily]

I mean depends on the ilevel, but you generally replace gear so quickly that youre good enough with dungeon gear.
No buying, so get lucky with drops

[obsidian patio]

Assuming equal item level, HQ crafted gear and dungeon/trial/raid gear have the same overall stat amounts

[buoyant sorrel]

Ohh right

[manic flare]

there's no point is buying gear pre level 50 since you level up so fast and they go obsolete so quickly anyway

[knotty lily]

You can look to replace a weapon i guess if youre really struggling to keep up, but again you level so fast so just keep that in mind for post-50

[pastel wasp]

I have a questions about buying the game. I'm probably gonna get all the expansions eventually so I was thinking of getting the most recent expansion so I get all the ones before it. If I just buy Endwalker do I get everything before it including the base game? If that is the case do I have to wait a few months until it comes out or can I play today and I'll just get the expansion once it's out?

[buoyant sorrel]

I was doing a lvling roulette and I ended up in a lvl 40 dungeon (I believe) with lvl 34 gear I didn't get the lvl sync either so it was probably my gear

[open coral]

Right now, Endwalker will only get you the Endwalker preorder. In November, Endwalker will get you Stormblood through Endwalker, but you'll still need to purchase the base game separately.

[manic flare]

do ARR leveling dungeon even have item level restrictions? i remember in stone vigil there were people still sporting gear from haukke and brayflox

[pastel wasp]

Ooh okay thank you! So to play it today I can get the starters edition and then just buy Endwalker later?

[open coral]

If you buy the Starter Edition you'll have access to ARR and Heavensward content only, same as the free trial, but without the social restrictions.

[knotty lily]

Leveling dungeons, no they dont - although thats not unheard of to have items that low. The stat differences arent as big at those levels, not life or death.
Try to keep up yourself though, if you can 😛

[pastel wasp]

Awesome thank you again! :D

[open coral]

If you want the entire game right now, you'll need to purchase either the Complete Edition, or the Starter Edition + Shadowbringers.

And Endwalker separately.

[manic flare]

i think stone vigil is the first dungeon that really forces you to keep up with item levels....if you are undegeared you will have a bad time

[buoyant sorrel]

Huh then I just need to git gud XD the last thing I want is to fall short as the healer lol

[pastel wasp]

That would cost 60 CAD for the complete edition, then 40 CAD for endwalker right? If I just bought the starter edition today and then bought endwalker later I'd get the same amount of content right? I think it ends up only being 60 CAD

[knotty lily]

Cutters can be rough, but otherwise I'd agree - Aurum Vale especially as we are sorely aware, lel

[sleek mist]

duty roulette is important right?
but RN im at lvl 35
but my DR is lvl 16, how can i change that?

[manic flare]

as long as you have chest piece and weapon that's at the dungeon level you should be fine if everything else is level 34

[open coral]

Uhh... probably? idk what the Canadian prices are, but that sounds about right.

[boreal storm]

The rewards adjust to your level

[pastel wasp]

Okay I'll start with the starter edition then. Thanks :))

[boreal storm]

Lvl 16 is just the level required to do it

[frigid apex]

go to mogstation. buy the game. apply coded to mogstation.

[sleek mist]

hmmm kinda wierd... i got the reward lvl 18-19 tho

does it locked with my MSQ?
i got bonus exp cuz of my server

[frigid apex]

do not use steam.

[open crane]

Hey, I've got a bit of a weird question. I'm currently using ELV (type of german credit card) to pay for a entry subscription (10.99€) and i'm planning to switch to standard subscription via crysta payment using paypal (12,99€ / 1299 crysta). When you switch from entry to standard subscription you usually have to pay the difference which would be in my case probably 2€.

So my question is will the difference be booked from my ELV or do i have to add 200 extra crysta to my account?

[frigid apex]

most 3rd party key sellers for cheaper expansions new/old sell only to mogstation.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there anywhere I can go to find players to help me do stuff like Leves or FATEs?

[frigid apex]

Because steam leeches off AAA devs hard.

[dark copper]

AAA devs? what's that

[boreal storm]

It stays at lvl 16 the entire time, but you get good daily rewards no matter how high your level is

[fading helm]

how many more hours would u guys say i have of heavensward ||i just reached azys la|| wondering if i can finish it up tonight

[sleek mist]

hmm ok then.
thx

[frigid apex]

if you just got to the main city

[leaden ginkgo]

wtf? why am I downloading 40gigs when my FF14 folder was already 50gigs

does anyone know why /hotbar copy only pastes abilities to non-shared hotbars?

[frigid apex]

You've got easily 70+ hours of content

[fading helm]

wait wha-

[frigid apex]

If you include mounts etc then 100+

[leaden ginkgo]

How does transitioning from the game launcher demo to steam? Just buy the game + all expansions on steam and log on with the same account?

[fading helm]

like i mean the base story

[frigid apex]

oh.

[fading helm]

not the post patch stuff

[frigid apex]

well you didnt say that.

[scarlet skiff]

does anyone know what this error is? Happens when i launch the game with directx 11. Started happening since the new windows update. (sorry if im posting in wrong channel)

[frigid apex]

A decent amount, hours wise? idk.

[fading helm]

hmm ok ty

[open coral]

Probably about 2-3 hours? There's a dungeon at the end

[frigid apex]

that sounds right

[fading helm]

good thing theres post patch stuff cuz i dont wanna leave heavensward lol

[frigid apex]

the cutscenes towards the end are pretty lengthy.. i think?

[random saffron]

If I don't need poetics, is the 50/60/70 roulette worth doing just for exp?

[jade quartz]

If you’re in Azys Lla you’re almost at the end of base HW.

[obsidian patio]

Not really, IMO

[leaden ginkgo]

why am I downloading files from 2017 at 40gigs? I already have FF14 shadowbringers from 2 yrs ago

where is the party finder?

[boreal storm]

Go to the party menu

Select party finder

[waxen salmon]

Looking for help on using the Kupo bot on my own server, where can i ask

[vestal magnet]

hi guys just wondering, is "Aether" the server, or is "Adamantoise" the server? I'm confuded

[boreal storm]

Aether is data center

Mantoise is server

[clear shoal]

Anyone know how people are able to jump up on top of the doorway over the MB in Limsa?

[vestal magnet]

ohhh ok. Can you play on multiple data centers?

[clear shoal]

Keep seeing people up there. Never knew you could do that

[boreal storm]

You’d have to make a new character for each one but sure

[vestal magnet]

but the game says 1 character per server so up to 8, but there are 3 DCs with 8 each, does that mean potentially i can get 24?

and then if you subscribe you get like 240 characters?

[obsidian patio]

No.

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

[frigid apex]

datacenter = collection of the servers that you will play with others during queues... Server = inside a data center.. The NA's are crystal/Aether/I don't remember

[fading aurora]

Does anyone have a female miqote and this glam? I want to see how it would look

[obsidian patio]

Entry is 1 per world, 8 in total
Standard is 8 per world, 40 in total

[frigid apex]

you only need entry, yeah.

[obsidian patio]

Characters on other datacenters still count towards the cap

[frigid apex]

entry is 12/month for me and standard is 15/month+ tax for both

[vestal magnet]

ah thats what i needed to know thnks

[frigid apex]

one character can be every class/job

theres no need for multiple really.

[vestal magnet]

wait a minute "entry" is the same os free trial

?

[naive ridge]

No it's the full game.

[frigid apex]

NO.

[vestal magnet]

wtf is standard then

[boreal storm]

They mean with the character limit

[frigid apex]

it just giot explained man.

[naive ridge]

you get more characters

[vestal magnet]

i was not aware of a third tier

[frigid apex]

theres only 2 tiers bud.

Free is free.

[vestal magnet]

free, entry, then standard?

[frigid apex]

Once you pay for the game, you are ONLY ever allowed to pay for the game

[frigid apex]

if you're free you should complete all the content, then start buying expansions.

If you're confused, i'd go watch a youtube video.

[naive ridge]

standard is if you want more than one character on a server, Entry is enough for most people

[boreal storm]

Trial stops existing once you start paying for the game

[frigid apex]

yes

[vestal magnet]

but then if i start paying, there's no difference b/w entry vs standard other than amount of characters?

[frigid apex]

Free should be all content up to HW and prepatch stormblood.

[glad verge]

hello, i am a returning player. i have a level 30 gladiator, but wish to start over. should i create a new character or continue my existing one? id like to try a different class

[frigid apex]

aka the storyline before stormblood like the 2.9 x

etc*

[frigid apex]

one char can be every single job/class.

[tardy thorn]

You can get new classes on one character

[boreal storm]

Entry is cheaper when not buying months in bulk

[tardy thorn]

Go to the guilds in the three main cities

[frigid apex]

Change weapon = change job/class

[glad verge]

will i just continue the MSQ on the same spot?

[frigid apex]

Yes.

[glad verge]

and will my levels also translate ?

[waxen harbor]

can I make my home world tonberry and visit another world that have exp boost to play until max lv then tp back to my home world?

[frigid apex]

No.

[boreal storm]

No

[tardy thorn]

U get class quests tho

[frigid apex]

you have to go learn the job and start from level 1.

If you don't know where to go, wiki.

[boreal storm]

You’ll have to level back up to msq level

[frigid apex]

the main towns should have the jobs though if you look around a bit

[tardy thorn]

Unless it’s rouge which is lvl 10, or one of the expansion classes

[dark copper]

depends on what you like?

do you like doing uber amounts of damage?
or setting the pace of dungeons?
or healing?

[glad verge]

i want to try a dps class now, probably going DRG

[tardy thorn]

Just get to lvl 15 on whatever class you wanna play and start doing dungeons till u get to MSQ lvl

[boreal storm]

People end up doing that synced anyway because of trial roulette so I don’t get that PF either. Also it’s easy

[limber parcel]

Got a question regarding that blue mage event that happened on the 8th? 10th? Where if they were successful, a pretty cool looking jacket would be added in a future moogle event, how did that event go? Were they successful?

[frigid apex]

good choice.

[tardy thorn]

Go to the lancers guild in gridania, should be higher up

On the map I mean

[glad verge]

ok im pretty lost in the MSQ as well.. any suggestions what i should do to catch up on the plot n stuff

[frigid apex]

go to inn

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey are the queue times still high

[frigid apex]

any main town has an INN

[boreal storm]

If you’ve attuned to gridania’s aetherytes you can warp to it

[frigid apex]

inn = being able to watch cutscenes/non talking cutscenes over

[tardy thorn]

Depends on ur server and class and time of day

[leaden ginkgo]

NA, 10:20pm, JENOVA

[quick sage]

Hey guys, how can I save my appearance without fantasia(

[tardy thorn]

I play DPS and get pretty ok times

[glad verge]

oh wow didnt know that existed. ty i will watch all the cutscenes again

[quick sage]

Can I save appearance without Fantasia?

[tardy thorn]

Wdym

U mean edit?

[quick sage]

Well, I forgot to save my current appearance

[naive ridge]

i think they mean save their characters current appearance

[quick sage]

Is there a way to save it

[boreal storm]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

i think there is

[quick sage]

How?

I don’t have Fantasia though

[boreal storm]

Just remember what you put down

[quick sage]

I don’t remember. That’s the thing

[tardy thorn]

Or you can do the lvl 50 quest

To get the fantasia

[quick sage]

Already did it

[naive ridge]

do alts also get the fantasia?

[tardy thorn]

I’m pretty sure u can edit eyes and hair tho so you might be able to save it when doing that?

[quick sage]

So, there’s no way to save it?

[frigid apex]

what do you mean "appearence" and "save" you mean when you make a character?

if you're on PC its bottom right of the screen while ou're making a char

[naive ridge]

it syncs your ilvl

other wise lvl 80s will one shot most arr content

[leaden ginkgo]

just go to char select screen, right click and save appearance

[boreal storm]

To appropriate lvl 50 gear levels

[naive ridge]

you will still be the max ilvl for the synced dungeon so you will still be overgeared

[boreal storm]

No

[quick sage]

Oh yes you can

[naive ridge]

not necessarily

[quick sage]

Thank you

[boreal storm]

If they’re doing min item level, they’re doing min item level

[naive ridge]

all min ilvl is synced, not all synced is min ilvl

min ilvl is just hitting the minimum requirements for the content, its an extra challenge

[ripe sentinel]

I have a MIDI keyboard but it's not working when I plug it in and try to Perform. are MIDI keyboard inputs not supported?

[boreal storm]

For example: doing cape westwind min ilvl, adds like 4-5 minutes to the fight

there are so many 'target x" keybinds, do ppl even use any of these

i just click on the enemy manually or tab through the targets until i find it

[strong pond]

So i'm leveling for teh first time, i'm on Stormblood now and throughout my journey i've switched my main at least 3 times (bard, red mage, and now samurai/gunbreaker) and i'm having a hard time deciding on what i want to main, has anyone else grappled with this issue?

[boreal storm]

Which one are you best with, there that’s your main

[tardy thorn]

Just play whatever is most fun at the time. 14 has all the quick changing for a reason.

[strong pond]

I kinda felt like that was the answer, idk it just felt kind of cheat-y to start a job at such a high lvl

I enjoy most of em, the classes i've played before and new ones are hard to catch up though, leveling is a bit of a slog

[calm hull]

Question, I'm getting to a season where I wont be able to play as often (like an hour or two) but I still wanna gain levels as effectively when I play. Should I just focus on dailies, if so which ones... I plan on catching up on MSQ on the weekends.

[naive ridge]

Whichever one you feel most comfortable with, like to play most or like the look and feel of

I've switched from SMN in ARR to BLM in HW, then RDM in SB and back to BLM in ShB.

best way to farm allegory/ revelation tombstones?

Btw what is the quickest way to lvl classes from start? Dungeons?

others might be different

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi guys I just bought ff14 shadowbringers for the first time on ps4 but when I try to start the game they ask me to reconnect to psn to have access to the game. I’ve been doing it for 2 hours but nothings seems to work can someone please help me ? Thanks a lot

[tardy thorn]

Thanks

[modest igloo]

focus on MSQ first and foremost, leveling can wait for later

[modest igloo]

you finished MSQ right?

[ornate charm]

finished all of that is the only other way doing the last level 2 80 dungeons?

[naive ridge]

what are you trying to attain with the tomestones?

increasing ilvl?

[ornate charm]

yeah

just bringing exarchic gear to 520

[wheat plume]

I have duplicate Master books and can't discard them, what can I do to free inventory space?

Can't

[naive ridge]

for the stats?

[ornate charm]

yep

[clever bane]

Do an internet test and see if they fix it

[naive ridge]

I think if you just want gear, you can do zadnor for the i525s

[boreal storm]

If you have the crafter to the level they can use the book, you’ll be able to dump the extras

Have you try restarting your Ps4 or reopening the game?

quick question about screen mode. Fullscreen mode says i'm at 2560x1440, but when i switch to borderless windowed, it says 2560x1080. is this a bug? is my resolution actually 2560x1440 in borderless windowed?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes…

I did the dns thing , it didn’t work either

Okay, where exactly am I supposed to trade silver bozjan coins if I don't have accecss to Zadnor yet?

[obsidian patio]

silver coins are traded in gangos

the coin person in Zadnor deals with Mythril/Platinum

[sleek owl]

[rugged flicker]

Well I'm at the supplier

He's only showing me bozjan coins items

Scrolled down all the way

Nothing else, just regular Bozjan coin items.

Unless I need to get a bit further in the questline before I can exchange them?

[sleek owl]

bozjan, silver and gold are in gangos

[obsidian patio]

plain bozjan coins are traded in BSF

after that is zandor mythril and platinum

not sure if there is a better place to ask this but Ive found myself needing a LOT of lost etherkits for use of lost actions and trying to figure out what an efficient and/or consistent farm for these would be

[obsidian patio]

farm sprites in the middle section of BSF, the higher rank the better

ideal solo-method is to be a tank with irregular, wear nothing, and use reflect to kill the sprites

[naive ridge]

wear nothing? o.o

Make sure to use Reflect well outside of the sprites and then run in since they can attack you before Reflect goes up

[obsidian patio]

you don't need invuln

[flint pollen]

idnk how long it would have from 80 but i think when i got back from the game after 2 years from lvl 50 to 80 maybe like a month so that is not too bad for me

[obsidian patio]

have reflect up before engaging the pull and then run in semi-spamming reflect to grab aggro and keep it up

[flint pollen]

wynne not sure i got your reply saying how i get walk mode off my toon ?

[naive ridge]

is there a resource guide for cluster farms?

[obsidian patio]

none that i know of

[obsidian patio]

Press the / key on the part of the keyboard that has the numbers like this

[compact prism]

what level is the squadron unlocking quest?

[willow sparrow]

If I upgrade game from Trial to full game via Mogstation, do I get Shadowbringers, or just ARR + HW? The website doesn't specify, but I know there's a seperation between the two.

[broken cairn]

@willow sparrow starter edition: just arr hw complete edition: everhthing

[near hound]

As a Warrior when do I start getting axes that are bigger than my characters torso

[willow sparrow]

It doesn't specify either, it just called full game access

[obsidian patio]

link/screenshot?

[willow sparrow]

sec

[ornate charm]

so what ilvl does edens promise savage drop?

[frigid apex]

you get Nothing.

[obsidian patio]

50 after getting the rank of 2nd lieutenant

[frigid apex]

If by "upgrade" you mean buy an expansion.

[obsidian patio]

at and past 50

[frigid apex]

If you a pack you'll get all current expansions

[broken cairn]

You may have gotten 2 emails; ive heard people have

[frigid apex]

If you wait and buy endwalkers

[obsidian patio]

530/535

[near hound]

Sick, thanks

[frigid apex]

it will include endwalkers + all previous expansions

[compact prism]

thats really weird people were saying i can use it to farm exp at level 20, thats confusing

[frigid apex]

when endwalkers release

[flint pollen]

thx wynne and it was the / that i need to make it happened

[leaden ginkgo]

does this look big enough ?

[frigid apex]

you should stay on free until you completely everything through HW+ prepatch to stormblood

or you're throwing away 120USD of content.

and having to pay per month to finish it

[obsidian patio]

it's for alt classes, not your main one

[frigid apex]

the entire point of free version is to let you have 2 entire expansions for free

[buoyant dune]

What do I do when I finish my opener, just spam GCD combos?

[willow sparrow]

I want to buy the full game though

[flint pollen]

? tho when i do some duties on my paladin and will i get poetical as well as that other thing for 80 toons ?

[frigid apex]

you should be weaving GCD between spells

[obsidian patio]

greatly depends on your job.

[compact prism]

damn, also when do i get a chocobo mount im lvl 25

[flint pollen]

btw i already did the first tab and can i run them again to get my 80 currencies ???

[obsidian patio]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[buoyant dune]

As a samurai

[frigid apex]

the entire point of the spells not on a global cooldown is that you can cast them as they come off cooldown

[obsidian patio]

you go through each combo to build up sen to do Midare

[ornate charm]

is upgraded revelation tome gear (530)better than savage raid gear?

[obsidian patio]

And keep Higanbana up with 1 sen

[obsidian patio]

the same

[ornate charm]

like literally the same item?

[frigid apex]

different stats I believe

sno.

No

[obsidian patio]

you mix and match the sets for your ideal stats

[ornate charm]

ok ty

[frigid apex]

you'

[ornate charm]

is there a way i can find bis gear

[frigid apex]

you're looking for mixing and matching sets for stats

[obsidian patio]

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[ornate charm]

tried searching up whm bis and all i could find is 5.4 stuff

[obsidian patio]

go here

[frigid apex]

it depends on the job you're playing

best to look up a video on that stuff.

As its different for each job/class

Assuming you're talking about minmaxing.

[broken cairn]

If you want access to all the content the game has to offer at the moment, you would buy the Complete Edition for $60

[willow sparrow]

Yes, but is that the one the mogstation upgrade service offers?

[elder root]

Generally you keep up higanbana and your 1 buffs, without overlapping on resources and drifting your cds

[broken cairn]

If you click upgrade to full game, there will be an option to enter registration code

When you buy the complete edition, it will give you said code

[elder root]

If you want to optimise, samurais at 80 follow a loop

[broken cairn]

You put that code in the box

[static panther]

what's the current available dates of eb ceremonies?

[elder root]

With 3 phases

[willow sparrow]

It doesn't mention which version I'm buying though. it just says full game / regular

[flint pollen]

they only option i know is that when i got my codes and i go on mogstaion and put in my code to validate it

thats is all i remember how i did it

[potent shale]

does anybody know the name of the theme of the Seventh Heaven pub in Mor Dhona?

[broken cairn]

Right, the mogstation doesnt care about what version you activate

[potent shale]

I'm looking for the OST

[broken cairn]

Because it could be either the starter edition or the complete edition

[obsidian patio]

you need to check yourself with the NPC that schedules them

that's something we can't know offhand

[willow sparrow]

Kinda confused now

[static panther]

is that something you can check without the quest up? i mean moreso the open windows currently, not for open available times or anything; i just want to know if a specific date is up for scheduling already, because i'm not sure on the time window

[flint pollen]

if you go on mogstation and it will show you what license you have on what device you purchased for

[dire prawn]

Now that I've finished 5.0 can I start the ShB relic or do I need to progress the MSQ to start it?

[graceful gyro]

im having trouble with my key? its saying invalid

[obsidian patio]

I don't know. see if the NPC by the church lets you check the schedule

[flint pollen]

you see it let you know what you got applied

[elder root]

@buoyant dune

[obsidian patio]

5.1 MSQ to start it, 5.4 to finish it

[willow sparrow]

But I haven't purchased any version. I want to upgrade from trial to full via mogstation upgrade service. And it doesn't display which version it's offering, that's the issue.

[frigid apex]

it doesn't.

Thats the point

[obsidian patio]

you have to buy it elsewhere

[frigid apex]

you gain nothing.

[obsidian patio]

either the SE store or a third party site like Amazon, GMG, or Gamestop

[frigid apex]

Buying the "full version" is just buying an expansion, more or less.

once you apply that, that'll trigger paying for the game.

Until you're ready for that, don't do it.

[willow sparrow]

But it says upgrade from trial to full version. Specifically.

[broken cairn]

yes

[frigid apex]

Since once you start doing that, you cannot go back.

[flint pollen]

i bought mine thro SE but i think i first got mine with ps4 first and later SE

[broken cairn]

the full version is any version of the game that isn't the trial version

[frigid apex]

play all the content the free version offers.

yes

[frigid apex]

this

[vagrant crescent]

What's the best tank class in the game you think? And is that class in the top tier?

[frigid apex]

Thertes no such thing as top tier

[broken cairn]

they dont care if you have the starter edition or the complete edition or the edition that gives you a free hot dog

[elder root]

All tanks are good

[willow sparrow]

So confusing..

[frigid apex]

Ff14 isn't balanced like shit

All the jobs and classes are viable.

[buoyant dune]

Thank you so much,I've been confused about this ever since i first learned about openers

[frigid apex]

theres nothing that you "won't" see in raiding

[elder root]

It comes down to skill to perform, not the class

[frigid apex]

yes

mechanics are actually, in fact, not for cars.

[flint pollen]

i love the paladin and i enjoy it but there are like 4 tanks so far i dont know much about the other 3 but as for the gunbreakier you have to be at least lvl 60 to get that class and correct me if im wrong

[frigid apex]

God i miss the ascii mechanics are for cars meme

where did it go, no one puts into alliance raid chats anymore

it even had a little jeep going "beep beep" lol

[vagrant crescent]

Which among the tank use both Shield and a sword than?

[flint pollen]

paladin

[obsidian patio]

Gladiator/Paladin

[elder root]

Eh you don’t really need to follow the optimal rotation step for step if you find it too difficult, since it requires you to count gcds and shit

[vagrant crescent]

Got it. Thank you :D

[flint pollen]

yw

[elder root]

When mechanics screw with you, all your timings get messed up

[flint pollen]

wynne is correct but paladin is what you get when you reach lvl 30 and do quests to get your soul stone

and you have to equip it or other wise you will be on a gladiator mode

[elder root]

So if you’re still learning the class, I suggest just paying attention to all your resources and keeping up your buffs and dot

[flint pollen]

and your rotations

[elder root]

Frankly I’m not a fan of how rigid the sam rotation is, but optimal is optimal

[flint pollen]

remember you have to have all the expansions purchased before you can use endwalker once it goes live in nov

other wise you will lack some thing on the game

[obsidian patio]

no

you need to buy from steam

[flint pollen]

i suggest you acquire all expansions before you get endwalker

btw if you decide you going to play on a different device and remember you will need to buy new licenses for the switch device

[leaden ginkgo]

How many hours does it take to beat the base game story?

[flint pollen]

as you see i have both license so i can use back and forth as my choice of client to play

[amber hornet]

Guys... what happens if I vendored my Hall of the Novice ring?

can I get another one?

[obsidian patio]

complete the final training exercise again to get it back

[obsidian patio]

most people I see take around a week or so of playtime to beat ARR as a whole

[amber hornet]

ah thank god

many thanks

[obsidian patio]

of course it depends on how fast your dungeon queues are, reading dialogue, and how much side content you do

[lone stone]

If you die in this game is there any penalty? like losing idk coins, xp, items,etc?

[obsidian patio]

basically just gear condition

[sterile shore]

When should i start to think about finding a guild

[obsidian patio]

if no one raises you have to return to your home aetheryte, which can be moved around as often as you want

[lone stone]

i see, also, does the general chat actually works? i swear ppl never chat

or never reply

[obsidian patio]

there's no general chat. it's all zone-based.

[lone stone]

maybe is cause i have the free trial?

[flint pollen]

when that happens your gear weakens and you need repair to get it back to full power

[obsidian patio]

Most people prefer hanging out in the main city-states instead of the overworld zones.

[flint pollen]

the more you die the more damages it is done until you repair

[lone stone]

cool, thats nice

kinda used to losing items or something when i die

[lone stone]

even if i have the free trial version the chat should be the same?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[lone stone]

i guess everyone is afk if so

[dire prawn]

Wynne

I has question about Hades

Normal*

How do I not die to when he starts doing the AoEs all around the arena that come down and explode

[vagrant crescent]

What would be a best race for Paladin than? Just asking cause I noticed the starting attributes are different from each clan.

[dire prawn]

All of them

The racial stats mean absolutely nothing

Let me tell you the difference

[flint pollen]

when you see AoEs markings you get out of the way and also knowing the mechanics will also be helpful

[obsidian patio]

the value differences at 1 stay the same at 80

they don't scale at all

and at 80 you have thousands of the main stats

[dire prawn]

At 50 at max ilvl (130) me and another RDM had a hp difference of 20

[spiral inlet]

my friend just finished his level 40 pld quest

[dire prawn]

At 80 you're over 100k hp on every job

[spiral inlet]

doesn't get he

[dire prawn]

Over 200k hp on tanks

[spiral inlet]

the paladin armor?

[dire prawn]

No

45

[obsidian patio]

for level 80 it's like a difference of 200-300

[dire prawn]

45 job quest is what gives the incomplete job armor

[flint pollen]

there are some youtube vids about each quest and msq and dungions and it will show you some of it and it can be very helpful

[vagrant crescent]

Well ok

[dusty stirrup]

Um, not sure if right Channel but any suggestions for paladins Hotbars when on ps4

[obsidian patio]

#protips-and-ui message

this is my set-up

[south roost]

How do I get the recipes to make the items required for Master Recipes 1 and 2?

Trying to find Darksteel hook and cant

[flint pollen]

thx wynne will help me on that btw what is the rotation for confieor ??

[coarse meadow]

Anyone know why benchmark is defaulting to cpu instead of gpu? My 3060 didn't even get recognized when I tried to select under display settings

[flint pollen]

i just got my paladin to 80

[leaden ginkgo]

I made an account for the demo on steam but it says it's not registered?

[obsidian patio]

you just replace the last holy spirit/holy circle in your requiescat with confiteor

[obsidian patio]

the item needed for master recipe one is in the 45-50 section

and the item needed for master recipe 2 is in master recipe 1

If you're still level 50 or so I suggest skipping over mastercraft 1/2 for later when theyre easier to do

(also the item needed for master craft 1 can be bought off the marketboard)

[leaden ginkgo]

I am unable to connect to ff14 when I launch the game they keep telling me that I should reconnect to playatstation network to play the game. I did i have, I’ve reinstalled the game , I’ve changed my wifi, I tried on another psn account everything is up to date but nothing changes I’m getting desperate, did It already happened to someone here please ?

[dusty stirrup]

How do you set up crossbars like that wynne

[frigid apex]

whats the hotkey for shouting

/ what

[obsidian patio]

/shout

[frigid apex]

no it doesnt change it to that

[obsidian patio]

you can't keep your chat in shout

[frigid apex]

ah, so they changed that.

[flint pollen]

what i meant Wynne how do i get it to engage that so far i know how to do one that kicks in 4 rotation which start from fast blade to riot blade to Royal Authority to Atonment

[frigid apex]

thats why.

thx

[obsidian patio]

the top crossbars are the WXHB option enabled in the last two tabs of the Hotbar settings of the character config

the plain PC hotbar below the crossbar and going through the crossbar is just hud layout stuff and hiding empty hotbar slots

[leaden ginkgo]

How do you register your account for the demo on steam?

I'm confused

Clicking on my profile tells me to enter a code but I don't have one

[obsidian patio]

if you didn't keep your old PC and didn't upload your settings at the character select screen, then no.

[dusty stirrup]

What about the ones with c_ in that layout

[obsidian patio]

that just a big PC hotbar

[dusty stirrup]

Might try that myself if easier to play pala

[obsidian patio]

Did you click the "Download Demo" button on the store page for FFXIV?

[dusty stirrup]

So, its just enough to just have wxhb enabled?

[leaden ginkgo]

I downloaded the demo on steam

[obsidian patio]

I recommend hold crossbar too

it's where i put my cooldowns for most jobs

[leaden ginkgo]

I want to play it thru steam

[dusty stirrup]

How that works

[flint pollen]

where can i find get the 80 weapon and i only found to get the shield and im in Eulmore

[obsidian patio]

holding L2 and then R2 opens up a crossbar half of your choice, same for R2 and then L2

i have both options lead to the same crossbar half

[leaden ginkgo]

The game doesn’t even start for me please help

It’s my first mmo…

[dusty stirrup]

Im new to tanking so skills and hotbars abit overwhelming, lol

[leaden ginkgo]

This pops up on the steam demo

when I try to log in

[obsidian patio]

did you do that?

[leaden ginkgo]

It is asking me for a code

idk where to get the code

[obsidian patio]

I don't know then.

[leaden ginkgo]

;-;

[dusty stirrup]

Guess i will try that setup

[flint pollen]

see if your codes are in your email

[dusty stirrup]

Wasnt sure how to set all skills since in 3 hotbars

[leaden ginkgo]

No codes

I did not buy anything

[lyric hinge]

whats the best food and potions right now for raiding? (im dragoon)

[leaden ginkgo]

confusing af

[flint pollen]

then you are on a trial is my guess

[dusty stirrup]

But im guessing pala dont need to use some of the skills?

[obsidian patio]

smoked chicken

[lyric hinge]

ty

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah

[obsidian patio]

the only skills are mainly shield bash and maybe cover

[leaden ginkgo]

but I'm trying to log in to the trail version

through steam on the trial launcher

[flint pollen]

hahahaha " smoked chicken " lmao

[leaden ginkgo]

…

[dusty stirrup]

So those two not really needed?

[leaden ginkgo]

i think you need all of your skills buddy

[obsidian patio]

some classes have one or two semi-useless skills you don't use often or at all

BLM is pretty severe in this aspect as at 80 they have 4-5 skills that are pretty useless

[boreal storm]

But then that one time you wanna use it, it won’t be there

[obsidian patio]

(Blizzard 1, Blizzard 2, Fire 2, Sleep, Scathe 90% of the time)

[flint pollen]

the good idea is to set your skills like one set for 1 to lvl 30 and another 30 to 60 and 60 and up

[upper cove]

You could have them somewhere which is not your usual hotbar, In case you ever wanna use them

Blm has lesser buttons so it probably won't run into the same issue as PLD

[flint pollen]

cause there will be time when you are in lower dungions and your skills will be greyed out to use

[upper cove]

Even on controller, 2 full hotbars aren't enough for PLD. So I shoved shield bash to extended

You will still want most of your skills accessible

[dusty stirrup]

Yeah, 2 skills on 3rd hotbar messed up abit

[flint pollen]

i have 3 to switch lol

[upper cove]

But I honestly haven't used cover/shield bash in actual combat, apart from when I was still new and trying out

You could do what rix recommended. But I honestly don't think there's a need. You're gonna confuse your own muscle memory

[broken cairn]

How do you connect a Steam account with a Square Enix account?

[dusty stirrup]

Yeh might just get confused

[graceful gyro]

what happens if my mog account isnt showing that i own the games? even though i have the keys?

and when i put in the keys it says invalid

but it is 100% the right account

[warm yacht]

Are Blades of Lost Antiquity still limited to 1 a week?

I assume no

[leaden ginkgo]

I had a platinum eternal bond to use with my friend but he stopped playing, since it's tradeable what should/could I trade it for? I can't even imagine a price on gil, any guesses?

[broken cairn]

@warm yacht nope

[leaden ginkgo]

why tf is it so complicated to make an account for the demo

on steam

[low flax]

just going buy real world gil price it would be around 6 mil probably

not really worth selling

[boreal storm]

I didn’t have that hard a time

Probably because I already had a squeenix account

[dusty stirrup]

What about summoner? How you set that class up on ps4 since they have summons and all

[leaden ginkgo]

It left a really bad taste on my mouth I'd take anything to get rid of it

[flint pollen]

Wynne where can i find an 80 sword in Eulmore since i just got to 80 and all i found for that is the shield

[tulip gust]

What lvl do dungeons start?

[flint pollen]

15

but guildheist is at lvl 10

[boreal storm]

Msq 15

Guildhests are garbage

[flint pollen]

yeah but good for very low lvl

For 80 WHM quest would I go back to Raya-O Senna?

if you've come from wow, world = realm, datacentre = battlegroup

[vagrant crescent]

It says the closer it is to my location, the smoother it'll be. But how can I know? All names below America has a unique name

[shut panther]

all the regional datacentres are in the same physical location

so if you're in NA just pick any NA one

[boreal storm]

California

[twilit arch]

all of na is in cali, eu in germany, and jp in tokyo

[sonic wigeon]

you can pick any server in the NA region datacenters

so you can pick any server in Aether, Primal, or Crystal

[vagrant crescent]

Well ok :D

[sonic wigeon]

Your connection will be the same

[vagrant crescent]

So if I pick Prime then I can just switch to Aether using the same character later?

[twilit arch]

if you pay, sure

[sonic wigeon]

Not yet, datacenter travel is a feature currently being worked on. For now, you have to pay.

[flint pollen]

ok wynne i have check so far i did complete my 70 which is " Raising the sword " and i dont see at jen that would be my lvl 80 " Worth Fighting For" and i dont see it and why is that ?

Role quest

[flint pollen]

do i have to wait for the next day or what ?

once datacenter travel releases tho, you'll be able to visit without paying

[vagrant crescent]

Which one is the most populated one than? That way I can pick that instead. Any idea?

[boreal storm]

All of em

[twilit arch]

all of them are populated

[slate arrow]

You need to finish the tank role quest + Quest Shadowbringers

[shut panther]

do your tank role quests starting in crystarium

[vagrant crescent]

"most" populated

[slate arrow]

yes

We have no official numbers so

Yes

[vagrant crescent]

Well ok, lol XD

[sonic wigeon]

People tend to pick Aether for raiding. Crystal for social/rp stuff, Primal feels like a bit of both.

Either way, you'll find loads of people everywhere

[flint pollen]

well my dragon is already in which i have " the great shipd vybrand" and am i far enough ?

[shut panther]

then you need to be doing role quests

[slate arrow]

Did you do your role quest

Per role, not just one role

You need to do the tank role quest for the tank lv 80 quest

[outer fable]

So was thinking of buying shadowbringers, i'm from nz so im curious do I get the na version or eu?

[flint pollen]

what role quest i done up to 70 and i was told then it will be 80

[slate arrow]

EU

[quiet condor]

is there a way to make my hp/mp bars larger

[slate arrow]

For tanks you do the tank role quest

[sonic wigeon]

yes, go to HUD in the escape menu

[slate arrow]

HUD layout > Attribute Bars > cog wheel > UI scale

[flint pollen]

so is the tank role and class different ?

[quiet condor]

Role Quests FAQ

What are Role Quests?

Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.

At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.

I can't find where I left off!

No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests

And in EW, we’re getting ranged DPS role quest

We also probably won't be getting job quests in EW besides Reaper and Sage quests

But nothing confirmed.

[shut panther]

I imagine it'll be like shb, with a single capstone at 80 for each job

that is mostly just a lore dump

[slate arrow]

Last two cents from me, the 80 capstone effectively wrapped up everything for the existing jobs. I can't see them doing anything new, especially for jobs like Dark Knight.

[vagrant crescent]

Is there a way to just have one name, instead of Forename and Surname?

I want to just my discord name. FidgetyJester. 2 word but with no space

[slate arrow]

no

[vagrant crescent]

Aw~

Is there an account name than? Or only character name?

[slate arrow]

only character name appears in game

[vagrant crescent]

I see :D

[slate arrow]

You can see PSN names on playstation but it's not a permanent display

there's nothing account bound either

[sonic wigeon]

Account name is the one you login with. No one will never see your account name. People will only see your character name, which has to be two words.

[grave stump]

Where do I look for recruiting guilds?

[slate arrow]

Except for specific Mogstation items, everything is character based

That includes your "bank"

[amber hornet]

is there any way I can remove the numbers and also the padlock from my HUD?

[slate arrow]

no, yes

Hotbar settings under character configuration > UI display

[sleek needle]

Yes, no*

[sonic wigeon]

You can't remove the padlock, you can remove the numbers

[amber hornet]

okay how do I remove the numbers

[sonic wigeon]

It should be under settings. One moment.

[sleek needle]

What industrial said

[vagrant crescent]

Sadly I don't have playstation, and I'm not playing it on Steam either.

I was wondering if this game has a feature that lets you create an account name. That way your FF14 friends will know you're online no matter which character you are using, but oh well. Lol XD

[slate arrow]

oh I thought you were talking about the button numbers not the hotbar number

[sleek needle]

Just above

[slate arrow]

No, your friends list is character based

[vagrant crescent]

Oh well :(

[sonic wigeon]

This isn't a thing because this game isn't alt-friendly. You can level every job on one character.

[slate arrow]

you don't even share housing across characters even though you're limited to one per server per account

this game is not alt friendly because you can do literally everything on one character

[sonic wigeon]

^

[boreal storm]

Yeah making alts is kinda dumb

[slate arrow]

well not because, that's digging into 1.0 shenanigans and legacy stuff they can't quite fix now

[sonic wigeon]

There are reasons for it, but nothing a normal/average player would go for

[vagrant crescent]

I did heard you can switch classes, but you could still create multiple characters so would be nice if it had that feature. Lol XD

[slate arrow]

It's just one of those "expected MMO things" that yoshi p and the team took from comparable MMORPGs

[sonic wigeon]

Character Configuration > Hotbar Settings > Display > Display Hotbar Numbers

[amber hornet]

cheers <3

[sonic wigeon]

I agree :D

[shrewd prism]

hey guys, I've encountered a bug... the final trial for hall of novice resets everytime i kill the big boss... like resets the trial at the start and need to do all over again... any way to fix this?

[slate arrow]

You're probably not doing something right? Unless you're following the instructions

Which role are you doing?

[shrewd prism]

black mage

[slate arrow]

If you think it's a bug, report it via the Support Desk under system

[boreal storm]

And what’s it saying to do

[slate arrow]

Otherwise, you may be missing something?

[upper cove]

I cant rmb that training, but sounds like you're not following the instructions of the guy

[shrewd prism]

lemme double check then.. because it's reset everytime i killed the boss.

[last sapphire]

I managed to finish that as black mage without problems. Is that the one with the gate?

I think it's a combination of everything

[naive ridge]

yea one of the fights is teaching you that you have to pay attention to mechanics outside of dps

[shrewd prism]

yeah not the gate... just the dodo at the start and trash mobs in between then big boi boss at the end

[upper cove]

Probably needed to clear some adds before the final boss

Or do something to the gate

[midnight tinsel]

@shrewd prism did the npc die ?

[gleaming shadow]

Hey there. When are positions calculated for positional abilities? When I hit the button or when the damage numbers show up ?

[fringe lotus]

Yo, does anyone run the game on a new Mac? Does it run well?

[naive ridge]

when you hit your buttons

[gleaming shadow]

Thanks ! 🙂

[naive ridge]

things are errr

whats the term

"screenshotted"

like if theres a boss aoe you get hit if you are still in it, even if the animation hasnt played

[frigid notch]

How hard is getting relic weapons? Is it realistic to do for multiple jobs?

[naive ridge]

depends on the relic ARR and HW ones are trivial now

[astral badge]

Are there no other places i can buy glamour crystals other than the market board? im on free trial so i cant acess it

[frigid notch]

Shb ones.

[naive ridge]

Its a decent grind

[obsidian patio]

https://www.akhmorning.com/resources/bozjan-southern-front/relic-weapons/

[naive ridge]

Not hard to get all of them

[shrewd prism]

@midnight tinsel I restarted my game and it fixed. 🙂

[naive ridge]

its just a lot of Bozjan southern front/Zadnor

[frigid notch]

Hardest thing in this game is 🤣committing to a main job.

[naive ridge]

If you want all of them, I recommend having a quest on each step of the relic so you can always be collecting relic materials

[crisp mural]

Whats the meld priority for black mage is it spell speed then crit?

[naive ridge]

Generally yes.

Theres also a crit build

[frigid notch]

Also did you mean snapshot?

[naive ridge]

yea

[frigid notch]

Usually that means applying dots while a buff is active.

[naive ridge]

https://etro.gg/gearset/1c64d9a9-892b-48a8-b7d1-f760839d659c - 3655 Sps Build

https://etro.gg/gearset/b470c4c6-6f4a-47c8-8162-52ac09494e02 - Crit 2030 Sps Build

Sps is more consistent/less variance, generally safer.

Crit build is more variance. You'll do more dps if you are lucky with crits but riskier

but ultimately the difference is liks 0.5% so feel free to go with either

[slate arrow]

It's not riskier

It's just more random

[naive ridge]

i mean more like

longer cast times

you tend to make more mistakes if you're greedy

[vagrant crescent]

Does each class split into multiple class? Like maybe gladiator start out as an swordsmen but later he/she has an option to be better with a sword or to use both sword and shield instead? Or is it only one per class?

[crisp mural]

Thank you

[slate arrow]

no. Each class only has one job advancement, besides Arcanist. Expansion jobs have no prerequisites besides having any class at the unlock level, plus some story progression for the Heavensward jobs.

[vagrant crescent]

I see. :3

[gleaming shadow]

How long does the preffered server bonus last ?

[slate arrow]

90 days minimum

Up to whenever the server is no longer preferred

[gleaming shadow]

Oh, cool, thanks

[astral badge]

How can i get more glamour prisms on free trial?

[slate arrow]

Level your rank in your Grand Company

[twilit arch]

easiest way is to buy them with grand company seals, but being sergeant second class atleast is require to do so easily

[naive ridge]

also on the other hand, Crit is better for RDM/SMN if you want to constantly switch between them without remelding

[twilit arch]

since that's the rank that allows you to turn in dungeon gear for seals

[naive ridge]

if you dont have savage gear yet

[warm yacht]

Trying to figure out what to do now that I'm capped on revelation...

[slate arrow]

the capped tome right?

[warm yacht]

ye

[frigid apex]

shorter cast times is going to be better in general.

[warm yacht]

really wish I could queue for stuff while in bozja.

[frigid apex]

Espeically now a days with classes having more skills to go through to reach their "finishers"

[slate arrow]

Either buy the base BiS gear for your main job, or just use it to buy glamours.

[warm yacht]

more meant like, activity wise

[obsidian patio]

not really, for the most part.

[naive ridge]

yeah but it messes with rdm's manafication timing

[jade quartz]

Yeah Speed isn’t that simple

[frigid apex]

true its heavily dependent on class.

[blazing iris]

How can you find people to play with? is there like a guild or something I can join so I can talk to other people

[naive ridge]

ideally rdm doesnt want any extra sps

[frigid apex]

This is why I said general.

[jade quartz]

For black mage you can basically stack it forever

[slate arrow]

Anything. The world is your oyster. Mount farming? Relic weapons? Crafting? Gathering? Beast tribes?

[jade quartz]

Not so for RDM

Not even in general.

[frigid apex]

SOme classes are kinda stuck on waiting for stuff still

[jade quartz]

Most classes don’t want to stack speed.

[frigid apex]

I think over the years they have tried to get rid of waiting and accuracy and stuff like that

[jade quartz]

You build speed to reach a certain optimal GCD time

[frigid apex]

its why direct hit was traded for accuracy

[jade quartz]

Which for many classes is not much

[frigid apex]

Cause it was kinda a silly mechanic anyway.

[slate arrow]

I mean we don't pay your sub. The BiS is built around lining up with group buffs but if you want to stack speed nobody's stopping you

[frigid apex]

Really only mattered for ex/savavage etc

[slate arrow]

It's just even if you max out speed the most you'll do is drift your burst from your cooldowns so much you'll probably cry

[frigid apex]

I think they've done a great job with classes over the years

they all look pretty good.

I think the only tiem something felt kinda meh

[jade quartz]

This isn’t really #questions-and-help relevant anymore

[frigid apex]

was mechanist for a bit when it came out and maybe astrologian after HWfor a bit

[frigid apex]

sounds right

[leaden ginkgo]

can you get minions from unsynced duties?

[little swift]

yes

[naive ridge]

yea

[frigid apex]

mhm

[leaden ginkgo]

let's say im level 80 and i farm level 60 dungreons

ooooh

[frigid apex]

and mounts.

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah the horses

nice thanks!

[frigid apex]

Depends on expansion but yep, horses.

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks thats what i needed to know

will try to get red pandas

[frigid apex]

horses> birds>dragons I think is what it is now if you were curious

[leaden ginkgo]

i cant solo the birds

keep dying

[little swift]

horses > birds > kamuy > gwibers

is the trial mounts

[mild ermine]

When I use a fantasia am I obliged to immediately change after? Or can I sit on it.

[obsidian patio]

you can sit on it

[frigid apex]

ah, dont be afraid to get a few friends.

[mild ermine]

Thanks for letting me know was worried for a sec.

Didn't want to use it immediately but did on accident.

So its like proced on my account until I actually change right?

[frigid apex]

yes

[mild ermine]

And I can preview changing races and stuff and so long as I don't actually save those changes

it will remain proced

Right?

[frigid apex]

As long as you don't confirm you want the change, yes.

thats what i did back when I wanted to be au ra.

[twilit arch]

yes

[naive ridge]

you can also just create a new character and save the settings or edit a retainer and save those settings if you just want to play around with the creator

[frigid apex]

yep, saving templates is very easy, don't be afraid to make a bunch.

[upper cove]

If you're curious how you're going to look in certain gear sets

[dull valley]

is the level 54 warrior quest obtainable before HW in the MSQ chain?

[slate arrow]

no

[upper cove]

Retainer or mannequins work well

[mild ermine]

Thanks for all the tips guys. Just wanna make sure I don't lose my stuff

[frigid apex]

np, don't be afraid, i believe it's pretty clear when it'll consume the appreance changer so don't be timid about it. Make lots of templates just don't confirm any perm changes.

[fading helm]

how am i supposed to speak with guidace node at matter conduict iv-v

idk how to get there lol

i used the teleporter

nvm lol

[oblique yew]

what's the shb album called?

[scarlet sandal]

What is this and how and where do i get it

[oblique yew]

so death unto dawn is 5.1 to 5.5 right? was 5.0 ost released?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Some master skill books are from script exchange. I and II are from Talan in Mor Dhona

[obsidian patio]

5.0 OST album is just called shadowbringers

it also includes some 4.4 and 4.5 tracks

[trail elk]

How do I change country in mogstation

[obsidian patio]

you can't change your region.

[flint pollen]

you mean for language ?

[trail elk]

the info it's asking me is for the states

but we don't have stuff like states here

[slate arrow]

You're using the wrong region

[trail elk]

like the postal code etc

[slate arrow]

Search for the EU Mogstation sites

[trail elk]

but I'm in canada

which is NA

[kind crater]

Is it still possible to unlock the peranadon mount?

[obsidian patio]

you can enter fake info for that stuff for the most part, just make sure to write it down somewhere if Support ever asks for it.

[obsidian patio]

yes

an absolutely monstrous grind, but still obtainable

[trail elk]

but like if I need something sent, it's gona be a mess

[flint pollen]

there should be like one is states for usa and providence for Canada

[trail elk]

there must be a way to fix this

[flint pollen]

option i meant

[obsidian patio]

Nothing from the mogstation is physical

[trail elk]

really?

[kind crater]

there isnt because pricing is different for each region

its like steam

regions are taxed differently, etc

[slate arrow]

Kinda but it's to local prices. Like, UK the starter edition is like 15 pounds or some thereabouts
