Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

[high plover]

Oh, good. Does it start at a regular date or just whenever they want to add it in?

[obsidian patio]

Usually august

[left moth]

it's usually around the same time plus minus a week

[true snow]

I dont remember the exact tab they are under, but look for an option called flying text size and the numbers shouldnt be to far

[obsidian patio]

Check the pins for a schedule of content for the rest of the year

[hushed comet]

Oh yeah I haven’t hired a retainer yet

[true snow]

maybe under ui

[hushed comet]

I forgot tbh

Is there infinite content in this game?

[cunning loom]

there's just a lot

[hushed comet]

Or do you reach a point after maxing out all classes, finishing all dungeons and quests

Where you just beat the game and move on

[cunning loom]

there are some grinds that are just so lengthy it'll take forever

[spiral inlet]

Is it true that people on different servers cannot attend bonding ceremonies from a person on a different server

[cunning loom]

it's an mmo

it's over when you decide it's over

[true snow]

there are repeatable things, but generally not super important

[cunning loom]

yes

[hushed comet]

What are the longest grinds?

[spiral inlet]

relic weeapons and armor

[cunning loom]

master troller, skybuilder scrips, mentor roulette, relics

those are some common ones

[hushed comet]

leveling up doesn’t seem so bad so far

But I do have the road to 70 buff

[cunning loom]

can't forget 1600 MMR mahjong and collecting every triple triad card

[hushed comet]

I wasted like the first 28 days off it because I was busy but I’m still getting a lot out of it now that i’m playing consistently

[knotty lily]

I've seen people playing the Free Trial exclusively since last August 2020 and STILL not done everything they wanted to do, so consider that

[honest anvil]

did someone ask about the longest grind?

[naive kraken]

i recommend getting a tank, healer, melee, phys ranged, and caster to 70 while you have it

[cunning loom]

already listed that

[high plover]

What's the Road to 70 buff? ._. I'm only level 50-ish.

Do I have it?

[cunning loom]

no

[placid sentinel]

as a WHM is it even worth it to spam holy? the damage is so small that it doesnt make a difference. the only useful thing i see using it is its stun effect and i dont even know if that does much.

[cunning loom]

yes.

[placid sentinel]

how so

[hushed comet]

Is the buff really that significant that I need to rush while I have it or is it easy enough to level up later

[honest anvil]

what do you plan on clicking instead of holy?

[obsidian patio]

The full stun duration on a trash pack (7 seconds) is basically a discount hallowed ground for the tank

[hushed comet]

Yeah almost done with Dragoon. At level 62 rn

[left moth]

in terms of time sink, relic weapons, mentor mount, hunt mount (centrio tiger), crafting mount (ishgard restoration), potd/hoh weapons, and to a lesser degree the all jobs at 80 mount

[true snow]

its still relatiively easy to level without the buff

[cunning loom]

mmos aren't meant to be "beaten"

or i guess fully completed

[obsidian patio]

It’s also your main damage spell for 3+ enemies

[cunning loom]

it's beaten when you say it is

[placid sentinel]

i feel like just putting aero on enemies and hitting them with stone does more damage

[cunning loom]

you'd rather hit 1 enemy with stone than 3 enemies with holy after applying aero?

[hushed comet]

How do I go about grinding up a second job after I reach 70 with my main

[obsidian patio]

Holy beats the stone spells in damage at 2 enemies

And glare at 3 enemies

[true snow]

road to 70 is a double xp buff for 3 months for starting on a prefered server

[iron mirage]

heck, many MMO players are more concerned with the freiendships and the world than unlocking things. For them, the game is never really over

[placid sentinel]

if it does more damage yeah

[obsidian patio]

It does

[cunning loom]

1 stone is 200 potency

[hushed comet]

I haven’t done any crafting jobs yet

[cunning loom]

1 holy is 140 potency but aoe

2 enemies = 280

[fading aurora]

is there a way to auto target the next enemy after ones dies, i hate when im in the middle of a skill and it just stops

[left moth]

holy as mitigation is also important (keeping in mind 3 stun immunity limit)

[near path]

Is there a way to lock the dialog box? Sometimes I accidentally move it.

[placid sentinel]

so i can only stun 3 enemies with it?

[cunning loom]

you can stun a LOT of enemies and deal damage to all of them

with 1 holy

[obsidian patio]

It stuns all the enemies it hits

[left moth]

no only stun whatever 3 times max before holy reverts to just an aoe damage

this includes if a tank or melee uses low blow

[knotty lily]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[placid sentinel]

so if there are like 3 enemies just use stoen/aero if more use holy or just always use holy

[cunning loom]

2 or more, use holy

once you get glare, 3 or more = holy spam

you still need to dia before holy spamming

i mean aero

[obsidian patio]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/695890739925745757/724200830051287121/f30de9b.png

[true snow]

you can click anywhere on the screen to progress dialogue, and if you want to return it to its original position thats an option when you right click the dialogue box

but no locking no

[hushed comet]

ty

So really I don’t have to worry about maximizing play time to get the most out of the buff

[placid sentinel]

thank you

[hushed comet]

Leveling isn’t too too bad

[white abyss]

Hey all, it's probably been asked but the new pre-order earring doesn't sound as good as the ones from past expansions? Is it the same bonus up to 80 and I'm just reading it wrong?

[lyric rapids]

so what does the recruitment code give exactly? and when can i use one?

[knotty lily]

Leveling isnt bad at all, a pretty fun experience too

[river wagon]

when you purchase the game on steam are you buying a sub to the game or are you just buying the game?

[proud willow]

It's the exact same earring as the previous pre-order ring but to 80 instead of 70

[lyric rapids]

the starter edition comes with a 30 days subscription

[tropic spire]

In a dungeon as WHM, should you run up to the tank to holy, or stay back and out of aoe damage?

[proud willow]

it's MUCH better to run up and cast Holy

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone can login successfully to the game rn?

[cunning loom]

run in

you're the dps now

[river wagon]

Ouuuhh alrite ty ❤️

[white abyss]

Ah thanks @proud willow I saw where there was an asterisk that said on killing mobs so I was wondering if I still get the 30% bonus on finishing roulette bonuses

[true snow]

in fact you get a xp buff for when you logout in a sanctuary. You can tell when you're in a sancuary when you have a moon next to your xp bar, which is generally when you're around a big Aetheryte crystal

[knotty lily]

Run on in, maybe not behind the tank in case of conals

[leaden ginkgo]

this my 4th time with this question and no one see my question

CAN U LOG IN RIGHT NOW?

[knotty lily]

Are you on Trial? Its likely the world is too full to even allow Trial players in right now, if so

[left moth]

I always tag right behind the tank for holy and back off slightly for bosses (where it's more likely to have a get out mechanic)

[proud willow]

there are hundreds of thousands of people logged in right now

[shrewd prism]

hey guys, I've entered the wrong password to many times, and it's not letting me log back in.. how long till I can log back in

[true snow]

rn there are a lot of new players so the servers are pacted

[knotty lily]

Servers are mega ultra overloaded right now with the WoW exodus in full swing. New characters cant be created on almost all worlds in NA at the moment, even

[leaden ginkgo]

not trial but yeah server so laggy even on jp data center these days

we should kill asmongold

[knotty lily]

Not sure that'd help not gonna lie

[tropic spire]

Also, is there usually a really long delay after swift casting a rez for them to actually rez?

[left moth]

I think lockout is 3 hours but dont quote me

[cunning loom]

they can choose when to res

[leaden ginkgo]

ok im logging in

leave Asmongold alone

[cunning loom]

and then after they res they have like 5s of immunity until they move as a grace period

so they don't immediately get stomped

[left moth]

after accepting res there's a long animation lock (not just the body rising up animation)

[little swift]

you can move

you can't use actions though

[cunning loom]

oh

that explains a lot

[little swift]

!buff transcendence

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Buff not found, Kupo!

[little swift]

damn it doesn't show

[shrewd prism]

Why cant I login to the game.... I was playing last night no issues.. anyone else have issues login in?

[true snow]

someone else just had this issue scroll up a bit

[shrewd prism]

ok ty

[fading aurora]

are there any gloves in game that match the Angelic Chaplets from mogstation?

[grave flower]

Is there a way to bind the button for gold saucer games (finer miner/out on a limb/etc)?

[heavy wadi]

there are definitely things that are close but nothing that matches, no

most mogstation stuff has unique models

[fading aurora]

care to name a new because im having a hard time finding something that is close

[hearty mango]

Does rescue not work on trusts? I’ve been trying to rescue ||thancred|| into my asylum but it keeps missing

[fading aurora]

few*

[random girder]

i think theyre hard coded to do certain things so rescue would mess with that

[heavy wadi]

^^

[hearty mango]

Oh I see, thanks

Just annoying that he won’t stick in my damn asylum :(

[whole ember]

s there a way to check how much time is left on your retainers venture aside from their bell?

[heavy wadi]

caller's armlets, constellation armlets, thavnairian armlets (sorta?), ravel keeper's halfgloves of healing

[little swift]

ctrl+u opens this menu up

and you can select ventures

[whole ember]

yooooo thats massive

thank you

[fading aurora]

@heavy wadi none of those are even close @_@

im going for this look

[leaden ginkgo]

How do u put the materia into the relic weapon after after getting the alexandrite I right click everything don't see any options

[fading aurora]

i need arms like that

[left moth]

programming wise trusts are pets so that's why can't use skills that depend on the target being a player (rescue)

[plain lichen]

are there any stuck commands?

[final girder]

I have afew people who left me commendation after dungeons but I don't see where I can give some to people

[iron mirage]

What's the gold saucer? o:

[vague wedge]

i stopped year 2019, at level 70 on Stormblood,
now there is 14 days free play,
vs trial/full free play till level 50.
now, when my 14 days expires, will i still be able to access the game as free-to-play of level 50?
whilst my Paladin is level 70

will i get kicked, or my PAL downgraded ?

@ me

[fading aurora]

in game casino

[iron mirage]

sounds scary D:

[leaden ginkgo]

It's more like the FFXIV version of Chuck e Cheese

So is DRG mostly single target dmg?

[left moth]

nope since have stormblood on your account only way to play is subscription money (when 14 day promo is over)

[iron mirage]

so games and stuff? That could be kinda cool

[leaden ginkgo]

Yup, with it's own currency

[whole ember]

Final Fantasy 14-day long free trial

[leaden ginkgo]

Like tokens

[whole ember]

sorry couldnt help myself

[south rampart]

So friend suggested this game, he made sure to drill it into my head that I only create my character on one of the servers with an exp bonus but each one just said the world isn't accepting any more new characters, is there anything I can do or am I just screwed?

[left moth]

back in my day the trial version was 3 days and a middle finger ~~ get off my lawn~~

[whole ember]

wait until it is later and less ppl are on

[south rampart]

How long is that?

[whole ember]

like, sometime in the middle of the night basically

[left moth]

depends on how long the rush lasts (maybe a couple days, maybe a week)

[south rampart]

Well for me it's 10:30 pm but honestly I'll be awake till like 4 am lol

[fair drum]

What does this do?

[whole ember]

yeah i had a friend try to make one around this time before, waited til sometime around 2AM and it worked

still kinda peak hours

[south rampart]

oh that's no prob, I can wait

[left moth]

removes a glamor applied to equipment so it's its vanilla appearance

[river wagon]

Hey so, if you receive a gift code from a friend and do the entire process to receive the gift putting in the code and all do you have to log out of the game for it to be on your mail?

or does it take some time?

[fair drum]

By glamour you mean transmog?

[left moth]

same difference terms wise

[south rampart]

Wanna get in as soon as I can though, saw some awesome trailer for a reaper character and my friend said if I wanna do that to play dragoon whatever that is but I wanna hurry up and get at least decent at the game before then lol

[whole ember]

can take up to an hr, usually about 15-20 mins

[left moth]

ffxiv uses a more jank glamour system but that's details

[whole ember]

yeah this is my first mmo and the base game was kinda eh but im in the post game of the first expansion and i am absolutely hooked

since may 30th x.x

[south rampart]

oh man I've been playing mmo's since I was like 10, not WoW though, always hated that lol

[iron mirage]

everyone keeps saying the base game is eh, but I already love it, and I'm only level 17 xD I bet afterwards is amazing, then!

[south rampart]

I just saw the animations and stuff of the reaper and I wanna play that character so bad

[whole ember]

i enjoyed the base game since it was my first mmo but being past it i can absolutely say Heavensward blows it out of the water

[south rampart]

The free trial lasts up until level 60?

[true snow]

yeah

[south rampart]

There like a specific way to milk it and get the most out of the free trial?

[whole ember]

Yes, Final Fantasy 14 includeds a free trial up to level 60, with unlimited play time, and also includes the award winning first expansion, Heavensward

[true snow]

level all the classes to 60 I guess if you are patient enough

[shrewd prism]

hey guys, is the only thing you get or unlock from doing guildhests is the completion bonus? there's no reason to prioritize doing this to unlock something else in the game?

[south rampart]

You sound like an infomercial it's amazing

[iron mirage]

literal advertisement over here, heehee

[true snow]

not really

[whole ember]

i will not be the last person to talk like that i assure you

[true snow]

the completion bonus is about it

[south rampart]

How long roughly does it take to level in this game? That's usually a big focus on pretty much any mmo

[leaden ginkgo]

The story is the main focus here. As in everything is gated behind it pretty much

[true snow]

honestly not too hard

[viscid cliff]

any other site that function as ffxiv hunt paths since site is down?

[true snow]

the msq along will do a lot

[arctic narwhal]

Is it worth waiting to make a character on a Preferred server vs. standard?

[shrewd prism]

@true snow ok thanks, guess I will prioritize MSQ and do guildhests later

[true snow]

I was talking to someone in anothe channel that mentioned that let had gotten to lvl 50 just by getting to the lvl 28 msq quests

[undone matrix]

How do you set up markers on cloud deck extreme?

[whole ember]

ye like others say stick to the main story and youll level your main very fast, and once they have some levels alts become easier

[shrewd prism]

@true snow Yeah I'm level 41 atm, and up to MSQ 22 lol, done nothing but MSQ and job quests.

[whole ember]

cause most jobs dont start to feel like

[true snow]

so you can use the msq to lvl alts too

[whole ember]

fleshed out til around 50, and thats very very basic fleshed out

[south rampart]

Boom one of the bonus servers opened up

[whole ember]

nice

[warm yacht]

is there a glamour previewer on the web somewhere or something to that effect?

[south rampart]

Great now it says there's 18 players in queue ;-;

So I'm assuming this game is popular then 😂

[true snow]

that goes fast

even before the surge, 8-12 people in queue was common and you just had to wait a few seconds

[raven sage]

there should be one in the pins of #glamour-discussion

[true snow]

one option is the bot too

for example

[junior walrus]

Where can I get the Sky Pirates' fending set for tanks?

it looks really cool

[true snow]

!iglam Welkin Hat

[zinc orbit]

**Welkin Hat** **:** Head

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[boreal storm]

Beeg hat

[south rampart]

So I choose lancer and then get dragoon or something later?

[iron mirage]

dwona lalafell!

on a*

the heck did my keyboard do xD

[true snow]

or you could look up a specific item on eozea collection to see examples of glams that people have made with some items

[junior walrus]

at level 30 yes

oh wrong repl

reply*

[junior walrus]

You get DRG at lvl30

[true snow]

as part of your job quests yes

[junior walrus]

do your MSQ and job quests

[south rampart]

Aight also no idea what MSQ is

[junior walrus]

Main Scenario Quest aka the game story

you'll have to do it as priority as it unlocks everything as you progress (minus a few dungeons and raids etc)

[true snow]

in the top left corner there should be a thing that tells you where to go when you click on it for the next msq quests and under that a similar things for job quests

msq quests have the flaming quest symbol

[willow rapids]

does Gunbreaker unlock at 60 and start at 60 right

[boreal storm]

Ye

[junior walrus]

yes

[willow rapids]

sweet

[main wigeon]

does upgrading my exarchic gear from 510 to 520 remove the materia?

[junior walrus]

do i have to craft the sky pirates fending set to get it

[cunning loom]

you lose your materia if you don't retrieve it

[main wigeon]

aight

[leaden ginkgo]

Guys I don't have credit card but I can buy STEAM gift cards from a store nearby my house. Can I buy TIME SUBSCRIPTION - using steam balance after buying the game on steam?

[true snow]

gnb isn't part of the free trial though, because you have to own shadowbringers to unlock it

[quiet acorn]

Why am i unable to purchase master blacksmith 1 recipe book. It says i cant have more than obe of it but i don't see it in my item search or recipe list

[shut panther]

If you're playing the steam version you can use steam wallet yes

[boreal storm]

You must have the recipes then

[shut panther]

Slash isearch master

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't have the game yet but I can buy it on steam then buy subscription with steam balance too right?

[shut panther]

Correct

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks!

@shut panther what about other items like pets or something can I buy them via steam? Or credit card only?

[unique ivy]

How do I deal with an i2501?

[daring stone]

Hi! How do I start playing (I'm from SEA). I read that playing in jp region is the way to go. How do I register or download? is this the only way or there's an alternative?

[unique ivy]

I bought my codes from the steam sale, but I'm having a real hard time actually trying to get it to work

[proud willow]

The region that you choose for your account won't change which servers you can play on, but it will change which version of the game you need to buy

If your account says Japan, only a Japanese region code will work

[quiet acorn]

I just clicked search for item and nothing was found. I did item search and the black smith book wasn't found

[quiet acorn]

.

[daring stone]

Oh so I can pick NA region and just play on JP region did I understand it correct?

[proud willow]

If you are logged into Mogstation, you can put the code in under Windows if Steam is greyed out. Don't worry about it

[boreal storm]

Look at the master recipes section in your crafting log

[proud willow]

Yes. You'll have to make sure that you buy the NA copy of the game when you eventually get around to buying it, though

[unique ivy]

nah, I can select steam, but every time I enter the code, I get that same error

[proud willow]

and you'll end up paying your sub with US dollars

(or something. I don't actually know the currency side of things so well)

[daring stone]

Ok that works. Thanks for the heads up!

[shut panther]

In that case make sure you're looking at blacksmith in your crafting log, the other recipes tab, and master recipes I

[true snow]

I beleive that if you have the steam version of the game you can use your steaem wallet in the mogstation where you pay for subscriptions and the cash store

[proud willow]

oh, 2501?

Are you using a VPN? that can cause it

It's some kind of generic fraud risk alert

[leaden ginkgo]

@true snow thank you brother

[unique ivy]

my VPN's off

[quiet acorn]

Is there a place on this discord to post pics. Im in the right place and nothing is showing

Im trying to craft wolfram ingot

[junior walrus]

#ffxiv-screenshots

[daring stone]

Hi sorry I encountered the Error Code: i2501 too and I don't have vpn.

The gamerescape wiki told me this book would let me make wolfram ingots

[woven marsh]

Hello, I am trying to play the game using my ff14/square enix account I made in 2010 for the beta

free trial software is saying Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial.

[true snow]

do you already own the game?

[woven marsh]

no

this was strictly a beta account

[little swift]

your account was active from a time before the free trial became unlimited time

therefore its no longer eligible

[woven marsh]

ok, how do I play the game then

like can i just pay sub for ARR

[fading helm]

i want the nightmare mount ) :

wait so to get odin i have to find the odin fate?

[slate arrow]

buy Starter.

[true snow]

based on the message that you already have a regestered service account you should be able to play if you pay for the game I think. Or you can create a brand new se account on a different email to get access to the free trial on that fresh account.

[haughty topaz]

bots ?

[open spire]

Where can I find the Decipher and Dig commands? Shouldn't they be under Actions & Traits after you've unlocked them?

[woven marsh]

i will buy starter

ty

[haughty topaz]

i always see them

move exactly the same

same clothes

[leaden ginkgo]

Bots, or a multiboxer

[true snow]

possibly bots

[haughty topaz]

guessing its against TOS ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Very

[haughty topaz]

yikes

[shrewd prism]

hey guys, is watching a recap of a realm reborn story on youtube enough to be caught up with everything that has happened leading into heavensward?.

[true snow]

yeah, under general

[true snow]

no

[shrewd prism]

@true snow I've been following story so far.. up to MSQ 22.. I'm enjoying it... guess I need to keep with it... 😉

[elder pagoda]

Is it possible to just buy the 99 crow feathers?

[boreal storm]

Off marketboard probably

[elder pagoda]

Some guide said carpenters guild, but I don’t see how

[true snow]

carpenter guild suplier has them

according to the eorzea database

[shrewd prism]

how many hours would you say it will take to get through all of realm reborn MSQ?

[jade quartz]

You already have the Master Blacksmith: Demimateria recipes

you showed us the screenshot

Wolfram Ingots are from Master Blacksmith I

An entirely separate book

Gamer Escape has the correct info

[opal swan]

How do i unlock the unicorn mount?

[fading helm]

does anyone have4 the link for the odin quest line

that shows what quests i need to do to unlock the trial

[true snow]

I would say maybe 25-30 hours if you just do msq and job quests without grinding.

[leaden ginkgo]

It's from the WHM lvl 30 quest iirc

[jovial quarry]

After you unlock White Mage, unequip your job stone and return to the Conjurer's Guild. E-Sumi-Yan will have a new side quest that unlocks the Unicorn mount.

[jade quartz]

Conjurer quest specifically

It's the only thing in the game that requires you to remove your job stone.

[wispy finch]

i was wondering

[opal swan]

Thx

[wispy finch]

what kind of stairs can u put on ur apartment

there isnt much housing guides that are updated so ; - ;

and idk where to ask

[jade quartz]

There are wall mounted staircases and a spiral staircase

[true snow]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/06a2205583a/

[wispy finch]

oh that ok ok

[leaden ginkgo]

The spiral staircase is too tall for an apartment

[wispy finch]

and the floors for the second floor

are just the flooring?

[jade quartz]

No

[wispy finch]

or do i need to buy a special one

[jade quartz]

If you want a second level in your apartment you’re going to have to enter the world of housing glitches

[fading helm]

but that only shows 2 quests @true snow

[leaden ginkgo]

You use lofts to make a second floor, or other platform

[wispy finch]

ok so the best stairs for an apartment is a wall mounter stair

[jade quartz]

And learn how to float items

[wispy finch]

oh how do u do that

[fading helm]

this quest is confusing me

[wispy finch]

JESUS

[fading helm]

i just spoke with urianger

and got primal awakening,

[wispy finch]

wait how

wtf

[leaden ginkgo]

There's a funky stair bookcase that I used, it works well

[jade quartz]

You can use lofts for the basics

[wispy finch]

wtf is a loft hmm

[jade quartz]

They’re like wall mounted platforms

But they can only have tabletop items on them

Until you use glitches

[true snow]

the follow-up quests

[jade quartz]

It’s a whole thing.

[wispy finch]

JESUS

okay okay so its like

THIS?

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

Thankfully, lofts themselves can be used for the floating glitch. So everything you use with it will be level on it

[wispy finch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOLbnswqTBA

[jade quartz]

Yes

That’s the one

Also with stairs

[wispy finch]

[jade quartz]

If you want them to be in a different orientation than having the right side against a wall

[leaden ginkgo]

I used the mummer's wardrobe to get a basic lift, and the lofts to finish it.

[jade quartz]

Then you need to learn another float glitch (an easier one though)

[leaden ginkgo]

Once you get the hang of some of the glitches, it's not bad

[plain lichen]

Do I need to finish main quest first before I can do beast tribe daily quest?

[flat torrent]

Any Dancers and or Dragoons here could help me pick? I was lancer/Dragoon from 1-60 but was really interested in Dancer, picked up and while I like it I'm still not sure.

My issue with Dragoon is mostly that the rotation is a little "stiff" and quite often I just wait for the GCD, with Dancer, I seem to be able to do more in quick succession which I like. (Also the flashy animations are pretty neat.)

Argh, So difficult to pick!

[warm yacht]

Would there be a way to automatically have your visor lower in battle and then raise afterwards?

[sudden wolf]

Play both

Level dancer first then drg ez

[leaden ginkgo]

I play both DRG and DNC (as a ranged main, and melee main). They both have their strengths and weaknesses. DRG becomes very smooth at 80, and DNC is a bit proc heavy

[wispy finch]

why does it look so hard wtf

LMAO

[flat torrent]

I suppose my biggest fear is getting to say, 68 or something - realizing I do prefer Dragoon (or not never know) and having to level it up to get back up, but as I heard this is not as much of an issue as it seems to me

[wispy finch]

is housing the actual endgame

jesus

[leaden ginkgo]

Pretty much, it's nuts

[turbid basin]

hi guys

[fading helm]

the binding coil of bahamut?? is this the odin?

[turbid basin]

how to subscribe if not steam user please?

and what's the advantages, it is worth it?

[sweet pasture]

What can we expect will become genuinely difficult to solo following the Endwalker number squish? Will it be offset by the 10 levels we gain or will HW dungeons or something become a nightmare?

[turbid basin]

can't find anything about it even in mog station

[brittle valve]

when killing mobs for ninjas is it more effective to kill them with single attack combos or with my death blossom (jump and throw knife) aoe combo?

[fading helm]

guys im so confused like i geniunely dont understand

[shut panther]

AOE for 2-3+,st otherwise

[fading helm]

what im doing wrong

and what im supposed to be doing

[shut panther]

This rule applies to pretty much every class

[river oasis]

im kinda overlevel atm being 50 while the msq is 37, should i raise another job to be on par with msq

[brittle valve]

@shut panther may i know what's st?

[sweet pasture]

Single target

[fathom sand]

im doing msq and my next one is lvl 46 but im lvl 45 what should i do to get like an extra 200,000 xp

[fading helm]

ur highest level dungeon

or palace of the dead

[fathom sand]

whats palace of the dead

[fading helm]

its in the black shroud

south shroud

[fathom sand]

oh okay

ty

[rich gazelle]

hello, is the duty roulette:leveling purely random? is there anyway i can avoid getting lower level dungeons? i'm really bored of getting copperbell mines...

[fading helm]

there is an npc infront of quarry mil aetheryte on the little river where the bridge is

[shut panther]

Single target

[rich gazelle]

i'm quite happy yesterday and today i got "The Vault"

but the past week i got copperbell mines 3 times

it's really boring and we can't even use most of our skills

[sweet pasture]

Are you queuing as a healer?

[shut panther]

Having said that most classes also have AOE ogcds, and unless they share cooldowns they're worth using against single targets too

[sweet pasture]

it's possible that there are just a lot of new players

[rich gazelle]

tanker

dark knight

[boreal storm]

There’s some setting that makes it so you can’t get duties 5 or levels below the lowest person iirc

[shut panther]

Lots of sprouts right now so unfortunately that's what you're going to get a lot of

[shut panther]

Only works for full parties queuing

[boreal storm]

Cool

[fading helm]

can anyone pls help me with this odin trial i dont get whats going on

[rich gazelle]

i'm also sprout haha. been playing for 1.5 months ish, currently at stormblood. but i get bored if i keep getting the same dungeons..

[fading helm]

im so confused with this quest line

[rich gazelle]

especially copperbell and the 1 dungeon which has very narrow pathways

and some traps that can pull you in

ok if there's no way to avoid it then i'll just have to bear with it

pray to rngesus

[shut panther]

Essentially, leveling queue is back fill for people doing dungeons for msq. Because more players have low level dungeons unlocked, it will always trend toward low level dungeons. Right now it's going to be especially bad because of how many players joined this month

[rich gazelle]

bcause of endwalker coming soon?

[shut panther]

Trust me I know the pain, yesterday my 74 AST gets thrown into a 23 dungeon with a player wearing crafted gear and a level 1 bow..

[shut panther]

Honestly it looks like there's a lot of wow refugees right now.

[boreal glade]

does the exp buff from perfered servers only work if i make a character there or does it work if i visit as well

[warm yacht]

Would there be a way to macro my visor coming down every time I enter combat? Like when I draw my weapon, the visor goes down, and when I sheath it it goes up?

[honest anvil]

the former

[shut panther]

FFXIV is riding high on hype with shadowbringers being critically acclaimed and ew coming, wow released a new patch after nearly a year and the reception is.. mixed at best.

[shut panther]

You can do it with a quicklauncher add-on but not otherwise afaik

[boreal glade]

nvm i suck at reading lmao

[rich gazelle]

i see

[slow isle]

The biggest hype for wow had been a new race, Pandaren, last I played it.

[rich gazelle]

i saw some articles talking about a huge streamer moving to ff14

[honest anvil]

psure the stats squint will only affect 80 to 90 power increase. 80 will still solo 60 just fine

[rich gazelle]

assmongold or something

[slow isle]

Yeah, dude has his own channel here lol

[river oasis]

if i buy the complete edition atm, will endwalker price be the same 40$?

[rich gazelle]

i guess that attracts newcomer as well

[slate arrow]

the stat squish will affect 50 to 80

[rich gazelle]

oH

my god that big huh

[honest anvil]

interesting

[rich gazelle]

own channel

[slow isle]

I know, right?

[shut panther]

Asmongold had.. 200 000 people watching him play FFXIV.

[honest anvil]

is that said in a later event from when it was first announced?

[rich gazelle]

ok.. i don't really follow any kind of streamer so ive never heard of him till recently haha

alright thanks for the info

[elder pagoda]

Went to the guild in gridania and couldn’t find anyone selling the feathers. Wrong place or lack of carpentry rank maybe?

[shut panther]

Am I crazy or did they not announce adjustments alongside the stat squash to make old content still about as easy as it is now unsynced too?

[honest anvil]

i do remember that too

sth sth action will be taken to make solo and unsync unaffected

for 50 60 70 stuff

[jovial quarry]

While we still don't have more concrete details, this is the general outline. It's affecting mostly the 51-80 level range.

[haughty topaz]

i was getting 100k xp rewards .. what happened .. now am getting 4k

[jovial quarry]

Which activity were you doing and what did you take to do it with?

[wispy finch]

yo

do u guys use um

factory staircase for apartments?

[haughty topaz]

does exp gains reset upon finishing ARR and starting the patches after ?

[jovial quarry]

Oh from main quests? Yeah, the EXP gained from story quests between 2.0 ARR and 3.0 HW are pretty low. When they were first added, they had no EXP rewards and so the amount they give now is lesser to prevent you from dramatically outleveling the story more than you already dol.

[chrome relic]

guys for archer what stats sshould i go for?

[slate arrow]

weapon damage and dexterity

[chrome relic]

theres 4 stats im talking about those

[haughty topaz]

what about PLD ?

[haughty topaz]

got it

[slate arrow]

weapon damage, vitality and strength

[chrome relic]

ughh not those

[haughty topaz]

am getting tenacity

[chrome relic]

the one on armor

[slate arrow]

literally doesn't matter

substats don't make any noticable impact until you reach max level

[jovial quarry]

When leveling, yeah, substats can be ignored. At higher levels, you want a specific amount of Skill Speed that you're comfortable with, no more than what you need, and then usually Critical Hit > Direct Hit > Determination in that order. But it's not something to worry about until you reach max level.

[heavy acorn]

I'm playing Astrologian.
Is there just one type of card (Increase damage dealt), or will I unlock more types later on?

[slate arrow]

all cards now only increase damage

[dire prawn]

You get the Lord and Lady of Crowns later on that give you even more damage dealt

[jovial quarry]

They've been consolidated to that damage boost only because the other kinds were never actually used that often.

[slate arrow]

there's a reason why Stormblood AST only wanted The Balance

[heavy acorn]

So there's no need to keep track of what card I draw?

[slate arrow]

you still do, just a little

!action Divination

[zinc orbit]

**Divination** : lvl 50 AST (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases damage dealt by self and nearby party members.
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed after obtaining three Seals of Arcana by playing at least three arcanum.
Effectiveness is determined by the number of different types of seals in play.
1 Seal Type: 4%
2 Seal Types: 5%
3 Seal Types: 6%

Powered by XIVAPI

[slate arrow]

that and cards get a greater bonus when applied to the right role

Specifically, Ranged or Melee

Purple and Blue respectively

[heavy acorn]

Great, thanks

[dire prawn]

The Balance, The Spear and The Arrow give 6% to melee

[jovial quarry]

Check the border of the card when you draw it, as well. Purple cards to tanks or melee. Blue cards to ranged or casters.

[dire prawn]

The Spire, The Bole and The Ewer give 6% to ranged

Balance/Spear/Arrow have a blue card outline while Spire/Bole/Ewer have a purple outline

[wispy garnet]

Bard and dancer are dps classes that have support skills?

[dire prawn]

The color of the design on the actual card doesn't matter

Yes

[slate arrow]

they are DPS jobs first with support flavour

[wispy garnet]

Oo I like that

[jovial quarry]

Most jobs have some form of support skill but DNC and BRD have a little more than most.

[dire prawn]

Bard is even more supportive since none of its party buffs minus Troubadour affect itself

[heavy acorn]

Man, I hope they'll re-add some unique flavour to the healing jobs with Endwalker

[tropic flame]

m o re d ps

[fallen oxide]

i noticed there are um...certain establishments for...certain needs, do they have those for less....intense needs? rather just therapeutic perhaps?

[slate arrow]

[dire prawn]

[slate arrow]

You could probably just ask!

I don't do RP in FFXIV though.

[tropic flame]

you might need to join a dc rp server

for your specific data center

ask around in there :>

[fallen oxide]

lol true, ill check the party finder a bit more i guess haha, i see discords pop up in there pretty often

[tropic flame]

usually they pop up during weekends though

dont count on any coming up on weekdays

[fallen oxide]

hmmm i saw a lot today tho xD idk if being in crystal might influence that...

[leaden ginkgo]

yup, crystal is the erp datacenter

savages

[swift pasture]

I got a question regarding DNC, if I use cascade/windmill and I didn't get any proc, do I keep using cascade/windmill until i get a proc?

[tropic flame]

yeah just might be me in a not-so rp-filled EU dc

[tropic flame]

yes

just keep pressing until you get procs

and use your standard step offcd (use it whenever its back up)

[flat torrent]

Regarding DNC - At lvl 60 should I worry about when to use feathers yet or not yet at that level?

[tropic flame]

just use them whenever you want

[slate arrow]

just dont overcap and spend them all when buffed

[tropic flame]

^

[flat torrent]

Aight ty 🙂 I'm really enjoying DNC and might pick over DRG despite the lower DMG!

[tropic flame]

at some point you'll get endevilment, in which when you activate it, just spend everything you have

[charred pewter]

I play in japan server but can i buy the complete edition and preorder endwalker digital copy on NA store?

[flat torrent]

Probably not I reckon, each region has its own codes I believe? Atleast most games do dont know about FF

[slate arrow]

what region is your SE account in

[charred pewter]

philippines @slate arrow

[leaden ginkgo]

oof

[slate arrow]

You'll want an EU code then

[undone latch]

i could use some help, is there a way to reset my user macros to default? i deleted them all when i first started cause i was dumb but now i need them and dont know how to get them back

[charred pewter]

can i buy from mogstation instead @slate arrow

[slate arrow]

if it lets you then yes

[flat torrent]

One more question regarding DNC, I'm very sorry if its been asked before, I come from WoW where theres no such thing as a support DPS, are Dancers usually wanted in groups? I do not care about being top DPS just want to make sure I play something that has pretty much use in every type of content (besides PvP perhaps)

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

entirely depends on the party but like

[dapper oyster]

its ok to throw away 1 time grind item from relic weapon quest right?

[slate arrow]

nobody won't say no and as long as you can clear you can clear

[slate arrow]

yes

[dapper oyster]

ok

[willow sparrow]

what is MGP

[undone latch]

gold saucer currency

[willow sparrow]

ah

[stiff fiber]

if i bought a fantasia, went to edit my char but didnt change anything and back out, would it still use up my fantasia?

[south roost]

We are in the Pharos Siris unsynced as a two person party

I died as a low level blue mage

[undone latch]

it wouldnt

[south roost]

He is the only one there

And a zombie is holding him

Are we soft locked?

[slate arrow]

yes

[south roost]

They can't out dps his regn

Wow

Ok

[undone latch]

anyone got any tips?

[south roost]

Ok I left. It won't let him vote to abandon or leave

[fallen niche]

So, does the gear from doing tons of ranked pvp ever come back in a way that makes it so you don't need to do tons of ranked pvp

[south roost]

Does he have to alt F4?

[frank wigeon]

hello, if i want to play ffxiv as a returning player from the start, would you recommend we do both side missions and main missions? or can i do side missions after i complete all main missions?

[fallen niche]

https://youtu.be/jKWDAe9g1N0

[frank wigeon]

thank you kindly!

[fallen niche]

Also, always do your job quest when available

[frank wigeon]

understood, thank you 😄

[willow sparrow]

I'm only doing msq and my role quests

save everything else for when I'm finished with those

[warm yacht]

I understand how to create a macro, but is there any way to rebind Z to execute a specific macro?

[tropic flame]

the default macros are just the emote ones though?

why would you need em :<

[patent citrus]

put macro to a hotbar and bind the hotbar to z? o.O

[tropic flame]

you'll need to put the macro onto the button that has the Z bounded onto it

[patent citrus]

but z is by default sheath, you can remove that though

[warm yacht]

Eh my hotbars are all already kind of used up...

[undone latch]

the icons, as far as i found, you cant get them any other way

[tropic flame]

then you;ll need to make some changes

i dont think you can add more hotbars

[abstract depot]

is there a channel i'm not seeing where i can post an lfg for glamour farming? trying to spam run Mt. Gulg unsynced

[patent citrus]

can't undersize shb stuffs

[abstract depot]

rip, so it's just slow repeat runs i guess

[willow sparrow]

are there any easy to get horse mounts?

not unicorn or pegasus

[patent citrus]

all ARR's ex trials

[willow sparrow]

how do you unlock ex?

[patent citrus]

should be the blue quests in mor dhona

[warm yacht]

Sweet, figured it out. Now I can have my visor go up and down every time I draw my weapon

[trail wave]

what is the drop chance on mounts when you do extreme stuff?

[willow rapids]

yo any way i can set the default login screen to be a previous expac?

[patent citrus]

should be around 25% except nightmare

[willow rapids]

like without havinv to click on the cinematic everytime

[patent citrus]

it drops quite often

@willow rapids no

[trail wave]

i guess nightmare is the really rare one?

[maiden cypress]

With the Mentor thing, once you get it is it removed when the lvl cap is upped?

[patent citrus]

no info about that

[dire prawn]

How do I not die to ||Altered Bahamut||'s Primal Roars?

[willow rapids]

yo any way to look like the MC in the beginning of the heavansward cinematic lmao

like with all the robes n stuff

[jade quartz]

Nah that's not an ingame outfit

[sonic kelp]

guys i know that i repeteaded the question but if i buy shadowbringer complete edition i dont need to pay monthly fee right

because i found this

[jade quartz]

Do you own Starter Edition already?

[sonic kelp]

no, that's why i am gonna buy complete edition

[jade quartz]

Then you will get your first 30 days of sub included in the purchase yes

After that you will have to pay monthly to remain subbed

[plush oxide]

hi guys i'm about to buy ff14 but my country is not listed in the available countries on checkout, is it okay to just pull up a fake address or will that be bad for my payment?

[sonic kelp]

wait but i thought that in this game you can buy expansion and not pay monthly fee

like in eso you know

[jade quartz]

This is a subscription-based game.

[sonic kelp]

.........

[patent citrus]

which country? I would recommend visiting your country's FFXIV facebook group page

they should have better recommendation for you

[plush oxide]

alright thanks

[sonic kelp]

how much does a month cost?"

[patent citrus]

11 Euro for entry

[jade quartz]

!faq subpriceeu

[zinc orbit]

[jade quartz]

Entry is all you need

[sonic kelp]

ok thjx

heh, better thing that i didn't buyed the complete edition, i thought it was the same system as in eso lol

god damn

[undone latch]

how do you clear a shared hotbar, it wont let me drag things off or delete

[dull valley]

ctrl+c

[tropic flame]

did you unlock the hotbar?

[undone latch]

yeah

[tropic flame]

then it should allow you to drag stuff off

[undone latch]

yeah its unlocked, but its not letting me

[last brook]

Am I at the max chocobo level? I read on reddit that I can get a lot of MGP from doing chocobo races. I haven't done it in a LONG LONG time, so I can't remember how far I am or if I am already at max rank/level.

[tropic flame]

how about this

[patent citrus]

well it's orange, looks max to me

[tropic flame]

its in character config -> hotbar settings

[undone latch]

yeah thats on too

[tropic flame]

hmmmmmm

[tired hinge]

when recruiting Squadron members, is it random if they will appear after a Challenge Log is completed; also is there any way to increase the likelihood of a specific Squadron member applying assuming multiple per challenge log category

[tropic flame]

then im not too sure, sorry :(

you can ask in #beginner-lounge too to see if anyone knows how to fix this

[jade quartz]

yes, time to breed

[tired hinge]

kk right wrong channel ^^

[tropic flame]

no no not you saya

[jade quartz]

You won't get good MGP returns from choco racing until you grind breeding pedigree level up

[tropic flame]

i was talking to nocturne mb

[undone latch]

https://gyazo.com/5aac6a46dd6dcb4624130840337d311f

https://ffxivchocoboracing.wordpress.com/ chocobo racing guide. There's a lot of info. The site also isn't set up in a way that's very easy to navigate but it's the best place I know that actually has that much info.

[dull valley]

is there a way to hide my mp bar while playing my warrior?

[patent citrus]

if you want to move hotbar, type /hudlayout

[tropic flame]

no

[patent citrus]

that lock is for moving skills from your hotbar

[tropic flame]

they unlocked it but it aint working

[jade quartz]

the problem is you can't move the mount button?

can you move other hotbar buttons?

[undone latch]

I FIGURED IT OUT, i had to switch to keyboard mode, unlock THOSE hotbars, then back to controller to edit the shared hotbar for some reason

[tropic flame]

oh geez

[jade quartz]

oh

[tropic flame]

nice you figured it out hahaha

[patent citrus]

well didn't expect that

[tropic flame]

thats so much work

[jade quartz]

that makes sense kinda since those are keyboard hotbars

[undone latch]

yeah, but i got it now, lol

[patent citrus]

I thought all controller user use crossbar 😂

plot twist

[undone latch]

im innovative

[tropic flame]

smort

[potent shoal]

is it possible to solo Rabanastre?

[tropic flame]

doubt it

even if you could, it would take a very very long time

[warped depot]

Is there a way to glamour relic weapons?

[jade quartz]

No, there are parts of Rabanastre that require at least three people as the party is split.

[tropic flame]

if you havent finished the relic weapon, you;ll need to glamour your weapon with a glamour prism
if you have finished it, you can buy replicas of the stage you want at a vendor and put it into the glamour dresser and do it from there

[potent shoal]

I need a glam from there

[tropic flame]

you'll need to run it normally then

[open rivet]

ARs also have a "need alliance set up" requirement, so you can't even join solo unsync

[tropic flame]

tell your party that you need the glam , high chance they'll pass for you :D

[open rivet]

join as the job you want the glamour on & win the need roll

[gloomy bridge]

Does anyone know what this means?

[grave flower]

If I accidentally backed out of the recruitment page with my recruitment code is there a way to get the old one or do I need to wait 3 more hours lol?

[jade quartz]

you're at the cap for company seals

need to spend some

[daring stone]

Hi again. My friends play in tonberry but atm it is now closed? What's a good course of action if I want to continue playing with them?

Chocobo Retiring/breeding question.

I just retired a G1-F. If I get a Covering Permission G9-F will my next chocobo be really good, or do I have to breed it up in order, like G1 > G2 > G3 > and then G4...?

[jade quartz]

you must breed up the pedigree levels 1 by 1

[last brook]

Noooo

[jade quartz]

welcome to the grind

[last brook]

Does it matter if it is male or female for my choices?

[frank wigeon]

hey will the endwalker expansion add extra retainers? 🙂

[jade quartz]

just got to be the opposite sex to the one you're breeding with

[slate arrow]

must be one male and female to breed

so since you have a g1-f

[open rivet]

you need one f & one m for breeding, and the result will be random

[slate arrow]

you need at least a g1-m for a g2

[jade quartz]

Male and female chocos have no other differences from one another though

[last brook]

Thank you for all the info! I'm excited

[daring stone]

I wonder what's a good timeslot to for Tonberry not to be congested

[open rivet]

at least you don't gotta worry about your bo's sexuality

or six

[remote valve]

jobs*

[grave flower]

Is there a way to get a previously generated Recruitment Code? I closed the tab and now it's saying to wait 3 hours if I want a new one

[jade quartz]

Classes upgrade to jobs at level 30, thereafter everything is a job.

But class and job are terms usually used interchangeably by players

[open rivet]

rogue (ninja) is a later unlock (in limsa lominsa after you did your starting classes quests up to level 10)

[jade quartz]

If you want to be a ninja, you have to start by unlocking rogue in Limsa Lominsa. It's not a starting class.

[remote valve]

ah i see

thank you

[jade quartz]

If you start as marauder or arcanist then you start off in Limsa Lominsa already, and therefore get access to rogue slightly faster.

[grave flower]

For future reference, you have to wait 3 hours

[daring stone]

Is there a way to get notified when Tonberry is open

[oblique geyser]

is the complete edition along with endwalker expansion avalaible for purchase already? my friend just got free trial and he's interested on getting the whole game.

[warped depot]

Oh alright thanks!

[jade quartz]

No

If you buy Endwalker it will include the codes for Stormblood/Shadowbringers, however these won't be available until November when Endwalker releases.

So if you want to play the full game now, you need to buy the current complete edition

[oblique geyser]

ah i see, thanks :3

[dire prawn]

Lyon

I need the Gangos music

Where can I get it

[dull valley]

is food the only kind of longer duration consumable buff?

[shut panther]

For crafters there's a couple others

who do i talk to if i wanna exchange allegory for stuff other than rain?

[shut panther]

I think there's spirit bond potions for combat

[shut panther]

The same vendor as revelations

[vital ruin]

gear exchange?

ohh nvm

[shut panther]

Gear exchange will be pretty pointless if you've got 510+

But you can exchange for crafting mats that you can sell

so I discovered I have irregular tomestones of pageantry on me... what can I exchange these for? don't see anything on the moogle shop

[vital ruin]

I'm at i521
if i want to get i530 i need to have edenmorn or crypt set right

[shut panther]

Yeah, you can get 525 with zadnor gear

[willow sparrow]

what do commendations do?

[shut panther]

Show appreciation/approval

A few achievements for them

And they're one of the conditions of getting a job at Burger King becoming a combat mentor

[jade quartz]

uhh I don't think it has an orchestrion yet

[dire prawn]

I am

Actually going to commit seppuku

I need it

[dull valley]

there is no such thing as "character level" just job levels right?

[stray dawn]

only the 3 main city from arr can visit other worlds?

[lone totem]

there is such a thing as MSQ progression

[slate arrow]

@dire prawn please don't make that joke

[lone totem]

that is a specific level

so for example you can have a character at level 50, but if your MSQ is still at like level 20, you are effectively still a level 20 player lol

[dull valley]

@lone totem i mean like, my CHARACTER isn't level 57, my Warrior Job is right?

[lone totem]

yeah, just your jobs

no individual level like that

[slate arrow]

your highest Job level determines the content you can do

[dull valley]

So if I switch jobs my character is basically back to level 1 or whatever and that relative strength

[slate arrow]

in most cases, that content happens to be the current MSQ

[lone totem]

yes, you level up jobs independently

but for some jobs, they don't start at level 1

all classes in the game start at level 1

all jobs that aren't tied to a class generally start over level 30

[dull valley]

can you use the store boost on an already created character to boost another job?

[lone totem]

you can

but it's not recommended

but thats for you to decide

[slate arrow]

the only time you cannot use a boost is if you're Level 70 and have finished the Level 70 Job Quest

[ember dock]

The classes in this game are balanced in numbers? Or there are far more dps than healer/tank?

[slate arrow]

more DPS

but that's usual

[ember dock]

Meta always change but now i guess is more dps

[slate arrow]

the last time they added all 3 roles for expansion jobs the playerbase population didn't really change

so they just add in whatever is fun

[dull valley]

@slate arrow Do you mean I cant boost that specific Job I have at 70 and 70 quest finished? Or I can no longer use any boost on that character?

[slate arrow]

no longer use that job boost

[ember dock]

Humu humu

[dull valley]

kk thought so but wanted to make sure

[lone totem]

just as a reminder, the harder content later on pretty much forces you into having 2 tanks, 4 dps, 2 healers

of course you arent forced to adhere to it as a preform, but even as a preform you are gimped when undertaking the raid finder duties if you don't use this composition

[fresh gate]

which zone does the Sorrowful memory of dying drop from again ?

[lone totem]

pretty sure churning mists

[ember dock]

Ye i was just wondering cuz normally i see more players as dps rather than something else

[lone totem]

and forelands

[obsidian inlet]

So how does it give raw emotions at heavens high per run since it said not guaranteed

[lone totem]

it's approx 1/10 chance for floors 1-20

4/10 for 20-50

7/10 for 50-70

and 100% from 70 to 100

similar to potd with timeworn, whereas 151+ was 100% drops

[obsidian inlet]

So its faster then dalebrum and delriads?

[lone totem]

hmmm

if you're doing multiple relics

[obsidian inlet]

I just started the quest

[lone totem]

delubrum reginae is the best option

since you can farm both timeworn and raw

but if you're doing just raw, I think the Dalraida is your best option

[obsidian inlet]

I can do that but am behind my gun breaker relic

I might keep that in mind 👍

[lone totem]

you plan on getting your gnb relic after?

[obsidian inlet]

Dark knight relic since that my relic that I am working on

[nimble rain]

what is the best way to max level a 2nd job? how long it usually take on average?

[winged fossil]

Hi all. So I have some jobs at lvl 70 which I level skipped to there, but now don't know how to play properly. I have some other jobs at 80 which I've got there manually. I have a lot of MSQ to go so want to use exp from that on my other jobs. What are some suggestions for playing my jobs at lower level so I can learn them the right way please and earn some exp in the process (ie can I use duty to sync to a lower level or something)? I don't want to do roulettes in case I am put into a lvl 70 dungeon and screw it up for the other players because I don't know how to tank at that level. Thanks!
This is a PSA re: job skipping!

[dire prawn]

Do I have to unlock BSF to begin the steps for the i500 relic?

[undone latch]

how do i make the mount roulette symbol a macro icon, whats the input for that /macroicon ____ cause its not working for me

[slate arrow]

yes

[little willow]

what are rowenas tokens for

[dire prawn]

Where do I do that cause there's nothing in Gangos

[oblique yew]

what do i do with the low level materia? just sell them?

[late hinge]

If you have 5 of the same materia, you can transmute it, and hope it becomes crafter or gatherer materia

[slate arrow]

you need to have finished Castrum i believe? and then you can do the one time steps + drop grinds

[lone totem]

the only icon information I found for macros is

/macroicon [action name] /micon Changes icon with ability name and displays the cooldown spiral. /macroicon [action name][Pet name] /micon Changes icon with Pet ability name and displays the cooldown spiral.

[dire prawn]

Which Castrum

[lone totem]

in addition to blue mage icon

[dire prawn]

There's like freaking six Castrums in this game

[lone totem]

castrum lacus litore

[dire prawn]

What is that

All I know is

I did the instance with ||Altered Bahamut and Varis||

[slate arrow]

the BSF castrum

[dire prawn]

Unlocked the i485 weapon

[steady bloom]

Hey could someone help me with setting up FF on steam ? I got some issues , buoght this game like 8 years ago , cant launch it now properly and try to play ....

[slate arrow]

rank 15 required

[tropic flame]

where do i get the base weapon for eureka? :o

[dire prawn]

And now there's a whole lot of nothing here

[slate arrow]

you get it from the level 70 job quest

[late hinge]

Castrum Lacus Litore is a special dungeon that spawns in bozja

[dire prawn]

Except the repeatable quest for the other relic weapons

[tropic flame]

i can still get it back from the salvager if i threw it away right?

[dire prawn]

So where do I go now

[slate arrow]

You need to have done Castrum in BSF

[slate arrow]

yes

[dire prawn]

Where is BSF

[slate arrow]

Castrum in BSF

it's a critical engagement

[tropic flame]

bozjan southern front

[slate arrow]

which requires you to be rank 15 before you can queue via the resistance recruitment

[tropic flame]

you need to go to gangos

[dire prawn]

I'm in Gangos

There is exactly nothing here

Except 'Resistance is (Not) Futile'

[lone totem]

rank 10

[slate arrow]

That's not the Southern Front

[lone totem]

iirc

[dire prawn]

So where is the Southern Front

[tropic flame]

you need to talk to the big furry to get there

[dire prawn]

Because the game told me absolutely nothing

[zenith niche]

Stupid question: Unsyncing a duty to help a lower levelled person get the mount from it isn't an exploit, right?

[slate arrow]

no

[tropic flame]

nope

[zenith niche]

cool, thanks

[slate arrow]

the NPC near the docks

[tropic flame]

there's a guy near the blue box that can get you there

[slate arrow]

right in front of the blue box chest

[dire prawn]

bet

[tropic flame]

its the big furry

cant miss him

[steady bloom]

Can someone help me setup FF14 acc on steam please ?

[dire prawn]

Oh anyways I unlocked Memoria Misera (Extreme)

What is this for

[slate arrow]

dyeable relic armor

[dire prawn]

Wait

Is there a pre-requisite to unlocking the Southern Front?

[tropic flame]

i dont think so

did you finish all the blue quests?

[fresh gate]

Can i do level 60 dungeons as any class for the bitter memories ?

[slate arrow]

you might need to go back to the markets to pick up the quest continuation?

I don't remember the quest location

[slate arrow]

yes

[dire prawn]

The only quest I have in Gangos is 'Resistance is (Not) Futile'

[fresh gate]

good

time to spam scholar

[tropic flame]

its in kugane

[dire prawn]

Oh

[slate arrow]

[dire prawn]

Be nice if the game told me that

[slate arrow]

Stupid game is stupid

it would!

send it as feedback on the support desk or something

[dire prawn]

Game tells you less than nothing after you do the instance

Except that Gerolt is waiting to craft your relic weapon

[shrewd kiln]

as someone who never touched pvp before, how long would it take to get like 5000 wolf marks?

1 daily challenge and like 3 frontlines

[twilit arch]

a little less than 5 days assuming you only do the frontline daily

less than that if you queue specifically for it

[shrewd kiln]

I discovered I have irregular tomestones of pageantry on me... what can I exchange these for? don't see anything on the moogle shop

[twilit arch]

nothing

toss them

[shrewd kiln]

welp

also I have some mgp tickets which I can't redeem... toss?

[twilit arch]

are you sure you can't redeem them?

[dire prawn]

It's in Kugane
I don't have jack diddly in Kugane

Kael where in God's name do I go after the solo instance to unlock the relic weapon quest so I can get BSF

Because this shit is nowhere

[modern geyser]

Shot in the dark, but anyone on crystal able to help me get my aether currents so I can fly, please and thank you

[twilit arch]

did you do the bozjan incident?

[dire prawn]

Yes

I have the i485 WHM relic

[twilit arch]

then you should have gangos unlocked

which you get there thru doman enclave

[dire prawn]

I have Gangos unlocked and there's a whole lot of nothing in Gangos except for the quest to unlock the base relic weapons for the other jobs

[twilit arch]

where are you in post shb

[dire prawn]

At the very start of post-ShB

[twilit arch]

then continue post msq

[late hinge]

that explains it

[twilit arch]

you need 5.1 complete to continue

[dire prawn]

Would've been nice if somebody told me that

I thought I needed 5.1 complete but I got told I just needed to be in 5.1

Should've done 5.1 before I unlocked my relic like I originally planned

[twilit arch]

you're gonna need 5.4 complete as well for later on

so may as well focus on msq for now

[stray dawn]

is there a guide for optimizing squadron unit choices?

[charred pewter]

i bought on eu but nothing happened im still in trial. how long to wait for confirmation code

[slate arrow]

what does your Mogstation say

[outer star]

You should prioritise MSQ anyway, I thought that was a given since you started the game

[dire prawn]

I prioritized MSQ until I finished 5.0

Then I un-prioritized it for content unlock

[outer star]

Irrelevant of any other content in a patch it's the very first thing I beeline

[dire prawn]

Now it's back on priority so I can get to doing the i500 relic step

[outer star]

Mostly cause I love the plot but still

[late hinge]

I'm not sure if this helps, but it's all I found http://ffxivsquadron.com/

[winged fossil]

Any ideas anyone?

[slate arrow]

Weskalber

look up his youtube channel for rotation guides from 1 to 80

and other ffxiv tutorails as well

[outer star]

Experience is the best teacher

[copper hound]

hey, just capped for the first time and bought my crafted set. where do i get current materia from assuming i am poor now, or is investing in the crafted set not worth because it gets replaced too fast?

[charred pewter]

i received the code but it says country code is not applicable can i trick this somehow? @slate arrow

[slate arrow]

no

[dire prawn]

Indus

[slate arrow]

if you bought it for the wrong region you're fucked

[dire prawn]

Where is the NieR unlock

[slate arrow]

[haughty topaz]

[dire prawn]

What's the prereq quest

[twilit arch]
