questions-and-help

[turbid pilot]

None focus, all can do it except Culinarian

[mild wind]

Main city being Limsa?

[modest igloo]

[turbid pilot]

Limsa, Uldah or Gridana

[mild wind]

Im Alcanist

[modest igloo]

ye then pick up blacksmith

[lament citrus]

Arcanist?

[turbid pilot]

Doesn't matter what your combat class is

[lament citrus]

^

[turbid pilot]

If you get Alchemist you'll be able to repair your own weapon

[bleak nimbus]

pls i don’t get this sastasha quest

[lament citrus]

Tho since arcanist start at limsa u have blacksmith armor and cul

[bleak nimbus]

i have to wait for others to actually join??

[turbid pilot]

Yes

[bleak nimbus]

i’ve been waiting for ten minutes omg

[lament citrus]

Its uldah

[frail robin]

Do i need to be on same server to join FC or its enough to be on same DC?

[turbid pilot]

It's kind of early in NA, so that doesn't surprise me

[bleak nimbus]

so i can’t do anything

i legit have to wait for other actual players

[modest igloo]

it is an mmo

[bleak nimbus]

but like this is a main story quest

[modest igloo]

yep

[turbid pilot]

You can go do FATEs, Leves, etc

[bleak nimbus]

why is a main story quest locked behind this

[turbid pilot]

All of them are

[modest igloo]

theres a LOT fo dungeons and trials in MSQ

[naive horizon]

Same server

[knotty lily]

Server, whatever your Home World is

[frail robin]

Thanks

[crimson gale]

yo guys, whats the best way to level up from 56 to 61? i dont have the XP buff, just earrings & ring, so doing PoTC or waiting for dungeon queues is taking forever lol

[gentle arrow]

do u not let tanks drop in dungeons? i was in dungeon and kept letting tank drop to 10% before I healed and he kept flaming me saying I should keep him full health all time

[knotty lily]

We'll check the alt level guide

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[glossy flare]

You did good

[crimson gale]

ty

[turbid pilot]

they're dumb, you're fine

[modest igloo]

that guy was a bad tank dont listen to him

[lavish sierra]

oh boy trials queues after ARR are alot longer huh?

[trail temple]

just asking.. anyone free to help me do Urth's Fount a.k.a Odin instance in JP Kujata server?

[modest igloo]

less exp comapred to dungeons so that's kinda why

[ember vault]

can anyone direct me to a Blue Mage guide/discord

[knotty lily]

Depends on the trial, but a lot more people are in ARR right now so maybe thats it. Most trials are part of Trial Roulette though so you'll almost always get people

[modest igloo]

#resources has one

[turbid pilot]

one day I'll get a trial in roulette that's not King Mog lmao

[mild wind]

I really hate the map system in this game lol

[coarse lotus]

What is the party finder like for the raids? Is there a different then a normal matchmaking or are they the same?

[ember vault]

does take some getting use to

[coral willow]

If my FC estate is in Shirogane, can a player under level 60 be able to access/teleport to that estate?

[knotty lily]

Can you be more specific as to which raids? Theres a few different kinds / ways to matchmake

[knotty lily]

If they're in the FC, yes for sure - just via teleportation

[ember vault]

i think they just can't leave the plot

or area

[coarse lotus]

@knotty lily like the titan and ifrit one. I know there is a 24 player raid. Is there a big different in the matchmaking for that one to?

[mild wind]

Whats the symbol for blacksmith

[turbid pilot]

anvil

it's with the armorer, which is a helmet

[knotty lily]

24 man raids and Trials like Titan/Irfit (Hard) are easy, people are always queueing for those via normal Duty Finder Queue - or it finds people via a Roulette. No differences

[green summit]

is it possible to transfer accounts between servers?

[turbid pilot]

teleport to the Aftcastle from the main Limsa Aetheryte, head southwest

[knotty lily]

If you mean Titan Extreme though, then yes theres a difference - nobody queues for it and theres no roulette. So you'd have to find or make a Party Finder party instead, ya?

[coarse lotus]

And then just hope that someone joins?

[chrome island]

If you queue for duty in one class, can you switch classes to run errands/do other stuff while waiting and not mess up your spot in queue?

[vernal jacinth]

does anyone know how to disable the click sound when using abilites without just muting system sounds

[turbid pilot]

You can

[chrome island]

Cool

[turbid pilot]

just don't get into anything too involved, bc you'll have to switch back when it pops

[chrome island]

Oh yeah I’m just doing hunting log to level a second class

[turbid pilot]

yeah that's fine

For general discussion please use #general-discussion or #beginner-lounge. <@&473626701947994134> are available to help in this channel. Thank-You, Kupo!

[turbid pilot]

but Leves and Fates can be troublesome bc you can't switch when engaged in combat

and you'll fail the Leve

[mild wind]

I don’t see that option

[knotty lily]

Mhm, people dont need "a reason" to run Titan Hard or a 24-man raid. But people do need "a reason" to specifically run Extreme Trials, like Blue Mage spells or Mounts. ARR Extremes are very easy to do Unsynced though, trivially easy - so if youre looking for a mount or something like that you could try soloing them too if you are high enough level yourself (70+ non-BLU)

[turbid pilot]

did you not attune to all the aetherytes in Limsa?

[waxen prawn]

guys can i ask

[mild wind]

Nvm found it

[waxen prawn]

if i preorder endwalker, will i have immediate access to all the previous expansions?

[faint flare]

No

[lament citrus]

@waxen prawn no

[waxen prawn]

damn

ok thank you guys

[west plaza]

Hi guys, anyone here use a controller?

[lament citrus]

U will get them once endwalker releases

@west plaza yes?

[turbid pilot]

i do, what's up

[coarse lotus]

I use controller and mouse

[west plaza]

I've just come back from about 12 months away. Im having trouble adding abilities to my cross trigger hotbars. Its suddenly not working 😦

[turbid pilot]

hold r2+press select/touchpad

[west plaza]

im using xbox controller

[turbid pilot]

one of the two in the middle should work

[mild wind]

Does it matter what I choose? Want to become a: Armorer or Blacksmith?

[coarse lotus]

Do you have a spare mouse. It really help with the UI

[turbid pilot]

idk which, I use PS5

[lament citrus]

I use ps4 controller

[west plaza]

Yeah im using a mouse too

[turbid pilot]

armorer makes plate and mail, blacksmith makes weapons

[west plaza]

Im just trying to set up so I can use my controller

[coarse lotus]

You can drag and drop stuff. The controlles for the UI suck

[knotty lily]

You can always become both eventually, its good to have multiple (read: all, someday) crafters

[cunning loom]

omnicrafting is the way to go

[lavish sierra]

If I have a ogcd action that I ALWAYS use with a certain gcd, I should just macro them together yea?

[cunning loom]

no

ingame macros in ffxiv suck

[faint flare]

Never macro skills

[cunning loom]

they're absolute garbage for combat

[lavish sierra]

:/

[faint flare]

Especially together

For combat

[turbid pilot]

Yeah if you become all and level them all you can repair your own gear which gives you additional durability

[open rivet]

you hit a oh I need this crafter to get my materials for this crafter real fast

[faint flare]

It makes it SIGNIFICANTLY worst

[knotty lily]

Never macro combat skills together (macros are ok for crafting)

[lavish sierra]

why is that?

[verbal rune]

Apart one for ast on controller

[cunning loom]

there'll be a delay between the skills used in the macro

[true snow]

Macros are slower

[lavish sierra]

oof

[knotty lily]

FFXIV User macros cant keep up with the way we need to Queue combat* skills, its rough

[lament citrus]

@lavish sierra macro doesnt take 2.5 it takes 2 or 3

[verbal rune]

The one that auto targets an aoe

[mild wind]

It says i must first complete the level 10 quest of my starting class

[lavish sierra]

even if its a gcd + an ogcd?

[cunning loom]

you'd only really use combat macros to shirk the offtank, comment on who's being raised

[gritty oracle]

Combat skills have a .65s animation lock, so if you write the command lines right after each others the second will never go off. But if you write "wait 1 second between the skills" then you risk clipping and you're generally wasteful with your time

[cunning loom]

especially if it's a gcd and ogcd

[knotty lily]

especially

[cunning loom]

it'll do the gcd, wait, then ogcd

[turbid pilot]

yeah macroing healing bubbles is legit on controller

[lavish sierra]

xD ok

[high owl]

Hey if you pre order endwalker from the square enix store 1. do they charge you immediatley, 2. do you get the pre order bonus immedieatly?

[lament citrus]

Yes and yes

[cunning loom]

ground target macros are ok

[gritty oracle]

Yes and yes, except for the mount iirc if you get collectors

[true snow]

If you hit a macrod ability a bit before is as available it doesn't activate, while normal abilities have an input queue before they are ready

[knotty lily]

There are situations where combat macros are useful, but they are fewer than you think

[high owl]

okay, thanks

[west plaza]

Is someone free to jump into a room with me so I can share my screen with this controller issue, please? 😦

[turbid pilot]

sure

[mild wind]

It says i must first complete the level 10 quest of my starting class

[west plaza]

ok.. Off topic 2?

[turbid pilot]

fine by me

[west plaza]

Thanks

[turbid pilot]

then go talk to Thubyrgeim

[knotty lily]

True, you must do your class quests at level 10 in order to unlock new classes on your character! (Always do your Class/Job quests as soon as you can)

[faint flare]

Your class quests are mandatory

[open rivet]

are there any rewards for requesting a friend to return to the game?

[mild wind]

@knotty lily these should be added in the journal

[faint flare]

They're tracked top left

Under the main scenario tracker

[mild wind]

Im just doing all the blue quest and main story

[knotty lily]

Do these too

[faint flare]

Anything top left is high priority

In and under that ui

[open rivet]

why is your compass over your msq tracker 👀

[heavy acorn]

What are people's thoughts of having a title in stead of the forename?

[knotty lily]

(Not mine, first hit on Google lmao)

[open rivet]

bigbrain time: have your pronouns be your first name

[true lake]

Hey guys does anyone use Nvidia gamefilter? when i try to enable it, it says "An error occurred, restart your game to use this feature" (which obviously doesnt work)

[mild wind]

Are those the class quest?

[faint flare]

Yes

And they're the highest priority

[gritty oracle]

People have all sorts of wacky names. You don't get a free name change though, so make sure you like what you choose

[mild wind]

Ok thanks

[heavy acorn]

Thanks.

[lament citrus]

How do u power level blu?

[turbid pilot]

I've seen Captain X and Prince/ess X

[faint flare]

Get a lv80 to kill lv70 mobs for you outside of a party

[gritty oracle]

Get a SCH or noct act friend, head to Kholusia and kill lv70 mobs until lv70

[faint flare]

After you tagged them

[open rivet]

have a friend kill monsters you attack

[lament citrus]

For some reason its not giving me exp

[turbid pilot]

are you in a party, and are you hitting them first?

[open rivet]

make sure you're not in a party, and the health bar turns red

if it's purple they hit it first

[lament citrus]

Oh i guess being in party was reason huh

[open rivet]

yup

[verbal rune]

Can someone pass me a macro to auto aim earthly star on controller?

[mild wind]

Ok in Current MSQ i have a quest then under that i see an exclamation mark: Whats in the box

[turbid pilot]

that's your next job quest

[mild wind]

But im not seeing that anywhere only the level 19 quest

[turbid pilot]

go to your guild

talk to your guildmaster

[faint flare]

Click it

[knotty lily]

You have to go collect those manually, it doesnt go to your journal automatically

[mild wind]

@knotty lily Thats what im saying why don’t they just do that automatically for us? Like how are new players supposed to know

[turbid pilot]

the active help tells you

[lament citrus]

Top left corner

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a lfg section in this discord, im currently at 5.3 content and wanna do some endgame stuff like the ex and the savage raid tiers

[turbid pilot]

look for #recruitment-light

it won't link bc I've not got the role

but scroll down the side and you'll see it

[upper flame]

sorry dumb question qwq

Which region is Jenova on Aether from? is it SEA or?

[leaden ginkgo]

ah i see thank you!

[turbid pilot]

Aether is US

California specifically

[opal swan]

So I’m leveling up a new job and besides roulettes and msq, what should i do to level up?

[turbid pilot]

all NA DCs are in California

[turbid pilot]

Leves, Fates, beast tribes

/ac "Earthly Star" <t>

It puts Earthly Star on your target, and if no target, on your gwad

I'd still get a non macro version on a side hotbar for niche cases

[turbid pilot]

also works with Sacred Soil, just change the name (for info of anyone else seeing this convo)

[gritty oracle]

Also Asylum and Salted Earth

[hollow pelican]

Hey, what's the item to reset your chocobo's skill points called?

[knotty lily]

Reagan Pepper?

[verbal rune]

Thanks

[hollow pelican]

thanks

[robust crow]

very specific question

anyone know which of the mog station costume sets give an EXP bonus under level 30?

I know the far eastern garb set does

[hollow turtle]

so i'm trying to go to the firmament but the guy is telling me that access is restricted, does that mean it's congested?

[twilit arch]

most of the mogstation specific stuff does

can just hover over the text on the store to see the tooltip

[robust crow]

do you have specific names

i'm trying to make a list

[leaden ginkgo]

Do I get raw emotions from unsync SB dungeons?

[turbid pilot]

Just to be sure, you've finished HW and have unlocked it and such, right?

[hollow turtle]

yes, i have beat ShB

[twilit arch]

did you do the unlock quest?

[hollow turtle]

i went there as part of the mission, left for a sec and when i tried to get back in

the guy is telling me that access is restricted

[twilit arch]

who are you talking to

[hollow turtle]

thomelin

[manic swallow]

For retainer ventures is it a bad idea to have both of my retainers to be lancers?

[turbid pilot]

ideally, one combat, one gatherer

[twilit arch]

hmm usually it just errors out if the firmament is congested

[turbid pilot]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Towards_the_Firmament did you do this quest?

[hollow turtle]

i started that quest yes, went through it until it gave me access to the firmament, left and now i can't get back in

i couldn't complete it since i wasn't level 60

[turbid pilot]

then get to level 60

and complete it

you don't have access until you complete it

you might have to abandon and redo it

[hollow turtle]

ye imma try that

thanks for the help

[heavy acorn]

Can someone recommend me a good YouTube channel that goes through the main story for each expansion including ARR?
I played ARR several years ago and can't remember the story, and I'd rather not start a new character to play through everything again since it's so much.

[open coral]

You can use NG+ to replay the parts of the story you've done (at your current level, for no rewards), or just watch cutscenes in an inn room with the Unending Journey item on the desk.

But for summaries... I think #archived-lore-spoilers has some videos pinned.

[gritty oracle]

There's also a Google Doc pinned in #archived-lore-spoilers

[lavish dew]

I have a question, I want to try out the extreme trials for the primals in a realm reborn. I recently got to heavensward but wanted to go back and clear those synced since I feel it would be more fun that way. Feels like it would be more challenging personally. I was wondering if I could ask people here to join me for that and wanted to know if there is channel for asking people to join me on this server or if I just ask here for that

[unborn marsh]

for the tomestones of poetics what level gear should i be changing for?

[turbid pilot]

#494379215420915712

[lavish dew]

Thank you!

[turbid pilot]

Ironworks

[unborn marsh]

am i able to use it for lv60/70 gear?

[turbid pilot]

oh, 60 is Shire

[open coral]

Yes. Poetics can be used to purchase the level cap gear for all previous expansions.

[turbid pilot]

ah sorry, misunderstood the question

[open coral]

60 is Shire gear (Idyllshire) and 70 is Scaevan gear (Rhalgar's Reach)

Each level cap gear set should last you until you reach the third dungeon of the following expansion.

[unborn marsh]

i'm currently lv56, should i save it for the lv60 gears?

[turbid pilot]

yeah

[unborn marsh]

or level70

[turbid pilot]

60, you get a ton

[unborn marsh]

ah okay thanks

[turbid pilot]

poetics aren't scarce, so no need to be precious with them

[open coral]

It's possible to get far more poetics than you could ever use on a single set of gear, so if you're not yet to the level 58 MSQ (which unlocks Idyllshire), you should use your poetics to buy Ironworks gear for an alt job or cosmetics or things to resell on the Market Board.

[turbid pilot]

or things for relic weapons

[leaden ginkgo]

Where can I get the permanent resistance buffs?

[unborn marsh]

ah i'm still on the seventh astral era quests, not yet till heavensward

[naive horizon]

You need to beat dalriada and then there's a quest in the main base area

[opaque token]

So, story/new game + question. If I get the dragoon job and replay heavensward does the dialogue change?

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there already known what you get when you have all SHB beast tribes at highest reputation?

[turbid pilot]

oooh, I should look into that. I was ready to start another alt to see that lmao

[gritty oracle]

Are there DRK bonus lines for ShB?

[naive horizon]

They've said there are no allied beast tribe quests this time round annoyingly

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh nooooo

Thank you !

[neat umbra]

what time does daily duty roulette reset?

[faint flare]

!daily

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Daily Reset:

23 hours, 10 minutes, 32 seconds

[turbid pilot]

less than an hour ago

[severe brook]

what is the blue mage skill where they shoot a wave of water?

[faint flare]

Malediction of water

[severe brook]

thanks

[vivid bane]

real quick, does DH/DHR mean direct hit rate?

[forest nimbus]

Can someone explain to me how to get to La Noscea I'm so confused

[faint flare]

Yes

[turbid pilot]

La Noscea is where Limsa Lominsa is

[forest nimbus]

Yeah it's the main quest but idk how to get there lol

[turbid pilot]

Airship landing

[forest nimbus]

ah thank you

[heady pelican]

I have a question. I'm in the EU and on free trial.
I've seen a lot of people complain about needing to make multiple accounts and being confused when buying the game and such.

I just clicked "Start your free trial" on the homepage and it led me to https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/ffxivregister?lng=en-gb which has fields to make a square enix account.
Then it just downloaded the launcher for me and I logged in with the account I made.

What are people complaining about? Is the EU process different than the NA one? Did they change the process super recently?

[real topaz]

i see so many gladiators / paladins playing... i was wondering is paladin an OP job? or its just that popular?

[modest igloo]

its just popular

endwalker trailer has the WoL as a paladin

[real topaz]

oh i see

[modest igloo]

so people see that and go "yoooo i wanna be that"

[neat umbra]

plus theyre both available without dlc right

[turbid pilot]

when you pay, there's a little bit more "paperwork" to do

[modest igloo]

yep

[slate nacelle]

I had 2 friends have trouble with making an account in the past Idk how or why
But yesterday my friend got the game and made an account super easy and quick and they're now playing so I don't know

[neat umbra]

buying the game, creating an account and paying for a sub plus the right expansions is super convoluted and done terribly

[heady pelican]

What's convoluted about creating an account?

[twilit arch]

sometimes people have trouble getting the system to work cos of the i2501 error and the site being finicky in general

personally never had issue with the system 🤷‍♂️

[heady pelican]

I'm just looking to see if I missed anything.
I heard stuff about Mog station and square enix accounts being different but I could login with that account I made on https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/ffxivregister?lng=en-gb which seems to be a Square Enix account

[manic schooner]

damn it. almost cleared the raid. anybody else encountered this error?

[twilit arch]

a lot of people also potentially make a square enix store account, and then try to use that on the mogstation

which isn't the same thing

[real topaz]

well i started my trial account on steam, but later my friend told me that the game is cheaper on square enix store so i had to make a new account, but i couldnt change my old accounts email adress to the new account email so i hade to make a new email as well

[heady pelican]

Ok yeah the Steam and PC versions being different is definitely pretty confusing and unnecessary

[sick tangle]

does anyone know who does more sales, SE or Steam? I am on free trial atm, thought of buying the starter edition for now, and on Steam atm it's half the price than on SE..

[real topaz]

and its mildly annoying that i cant change my email adress to my main account. when i add the address, the page says they will send a confirmation email. but it never arrives...or maybe just me

[real topaz]

if you started trial on steam then you have to buy it on steam

so it doesnt really matter

but im not sure

[sick tangle]

I didn't, I started on pc trial, and ppl told me its the only time I can switch from pc trial to steam paid

[turbid pilot]

trial doesn't matter

doesn't matter where you start the trial

[raven sage]

It does matter if it's steam

But to answer your question, steam has sales less often

[real topaz]

well yes if you started a steam trial you cant upgrade with the game brought on SE

[heady pelican]

Is there any benefit to being on steam on the first place? The game doesn't have Steam achievements or trading cards or anything

[raven sage]

For some people steam wallet is handy

or just the currency conversion in general

outside of that it's just preference usually

[real topaz]

people like steam for some reason

[sick tangle]

I think some have said the purchasing process is much simpler

[verbal rune]

Outside steam

Yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

Aether Data Center is best for someone who wants to get into raids?

[astral badge]

How can i unlock this vendor?

[sick tangle]

I was just curious cause I see, the started edition on SE is 20EUR and on Steam is 10EUR (not on sale) and I was like huh, how come half the price..

[naive horizon]

Finish the lvl50 msq

Beast tribes unlock after that

[astral badge]

I did

Im in heavensward lmao

[naive horizon]

Go to limsa

Should be a quest at the aftcastle

[verbal rune]

It's also worth mentioning that the starter edition is free trial

[low sun]

If you do not use Steam wallet the steam version doesn't have any benefits (I guess it counts your playtime if you value that, but aside from that there's basically no difference)

[rugged thicket]

you can do /playtime

[low sun]

Yea

[astral badge]

What is the quest name?

[naive horizon]

Dunno. Should be one of those plus quests

[severe brook]

Do i need to get hit in the masked carnival to get blu mage skill?

[modest igloo]

nope

just need to see and live

[severe brook]

ok thnx

[modest igloo]

getting hit is from FF5 so understandable

[dull valley]

whats the lowest you can get the GCD with skill speed?

[tranquil wolf]

can you cook chicken in game

[twilit arch]

Highway Robbery @astral badge

[astral badge]

thank youu

[sick tangle]

@verbal rune yes ik, I am currently playing that. And one thing that "annoys me" is the gil cap, why is it only 300k, I just passed ARR and when think I will do so much more questing and the gil waisted, I 'm like whyyy 😦

[modest igloo]

1.9 ish for mnk, 1.6 in bozjan areas with speical gear

[manic schooner]

what does that symbol mean? is that boss soloable?

[modest igloo]

its a hunt

[manic schooner]

like clan mark hunts?

[modest igloo]

designed for multiple people to take down

ye

[manic schooner]

ahhh i see.. ok2, better not touch it alone xD

[modest igloo]

yeah just steer clear for now

[upper glen]

Whats the best thing to spend Allegory on if I dont need any of the gear? Like the best gil efficient one.

[faint flare]

Check the market board

For the mat prices

[modest igloo]

i spend it on hq chicken and crafting materia

but check the MB first

[upper glen]

aight thanks

Also if i were to go a profession whats the best money making one lol

[modest igloo]

all of them

[faint flare]

All

[upper glen]

mmk thats good to know

[dull valley]

are there "elite" enemies in the overworld? If so how do I tell them apart from regular enemies?

[faint flare]

Those big, random high level mobs you see

[dull valley]

I mean like, in wow elite enemies have a golden dragon on their picture frame, is there something like that for ff14?

[knotty lily]

That little triangle marker beside the level denotes an Elite (Hunt) thingy

[pulsar escarp]

just fancier triangles

[modest igloo]

the level is always at the cap too

[verbal rune]

Also in general they're much higher in lvl

And have slightly/major different models

[dull valley]

Ill be honest as a new player, all the models are equally bizarre lol

[pulsar escarp]

I mean if there's only one of them

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone know what weapon type red mages will use?

Since we already have staves

[pulsar escarp]

for a while around

will use? they use rapiers

[knotty lily]

Rapier + floating Crystal focus

[pulsar escarp]

and a magic channel thing

[leaden ginkgo]

Omg that sounds awesome

[verbal rune]

They're basically magic zorro

[modest igloo]

at least it's easy to tell bc it's like "who the fuck put a t-rex in the middle of all these dead guys"

[knotty lily]

Like so: #ffxiv-screenshots message

[leaden ginkgo]

My good god it's even better than what I was thinking of

[knotty lily]

My glam is basic but theres plenty of excellent coats and cool lookin Rapiers out there

[modest igloo]

this one is my fav

[verbal rune]

This is their first af gear too

[earnest tapir]

Hi guys I played ARR last year as a warrior, got to level 50 then realised I still had a patch of ARR till heavensward and burnt me out, I've come back to the game absolutely lost, should I push through every expansion or can I start shadowbringers? Also 1 other thing, my warriors gear is super ugly, is that how I'll always look?

[faint flare]

You have to do story to get to shadowbringers

[knotty lily]

Well, you have to push through every expansion to start Shadowbringers - but we recommend it, the story gets better and better. Worth the push
And no, glamours (transmog) exists and it will let you adjust your gear look to anything you want, you should be able to unlock it if you havent already

[faint flare]

You can't just "start shadowbringers" not without paying for a skip

[knotty lily]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[leaden ginkgo]

Big fan of the black trim on red

Reminiscent of FF9 red mage NPCs I love their outfits

[earnest tapir]

I definitely unlocked glamour last I played I remember that much.

So will all the raids and dungeons in old content be dead? I have a lot of experience with wow and in that game you won't find people raiding old content

[low sun]

If you get gear you like visually just throw it into your glamour dresser and make a glamour plate out of it

(basically transmog)

[knotty lily]

No, old raids and dungeons are always done and will continue to be - because people are always leveling and because there is a "Duty Roulette"

[earnest tapir]

Ah ok makes sense

[low sun]

I still think the transmog system of WoW is a lot better, but to be fair the "newish" glamour system already is a big improvement to earlier times

[modest igloo]

yeah i'd like transmog

6.2 glam update plz????

[earnest tapir]

Yeah it is good in wow.

I see lots of people running about in ffxiv in such cool looking gear and there's me in a massive viking look attire, I'd love to be able to wear like casual looking clothes

[verbal rune]

You still need to do pf for Extreme

Cause queue for those are pretty much dead

[low sun]

You get some very casual-looking outfits during campaign you could use for glamour 😄

[verbal rune]

And even then, people do it unsyched

[low sun]

I also have a weird outfit for my dancer that looks a bit TOO casual, even for dancer standards, but I think that was event-reward or something

[bitter patrol]

Hey I just hit 50

Should I save up my poetics for ironwork -> Shire -> Scaevan

Then use revelations for crytplurker?

[modest igloo]

yep

rev is gonna be a bit far away tho

[bitter patrol]

For poetics do I have a limit or just the 2k cap

[modest igloo]

2k cap

so buy those poetic gear asap

[bitter patrol]

So technically if I run dungeons all day I can buy them all, dope

[low sun]

Can you upgrade poetic gear to higher lvl or something?

[bitter patrol]

My MSQ is lv 45 rn where can I buy ironworks from

[modest igloo]

cant buy them yet

gotta beat 2.0 msq

[bitter patrol]

Do I have to wait for I shaved

Ishgard

[modest igloo]

nah

[bitter patrol]

Dam that’s over 200 quest

[modest igloo]

you have 80 msq quests after you unlock poetics

and you get 100 per first-time instance

so keep doing MSQ and you'll get poetics

[bitter patrol]

Ok

[shrewd kiln]

How tough is soloing through eureka?

[low sun]

Can I do anything with lvl50 poetic gear aside from keeping it for leveling jobs once I outlevel it?

[bitter patrol]

Eureka?

[modest igloo]

takes a while but echo helps a lot

[mild wind]

By far the longest game ive ever played trying to reach end game lol

[bitter patrol]

Nope unless u level up the respective class

[faint flare]

Not that bad...get a kirin osode/verminion cloak and it helps

[bitter patrol]

Like healer and tank

[modest igloo]

200 hours of MSQ

[shrewd kiln]

eureka is a set of 4 instanced zones in the stormblood expansion with its own progression

[bitter patrol]

Dps have all separate gear

[bitter patrol]

Oh dope

[modest igloo]

but endgame isnt the goal of ffxiv

[low sun]

Ah so no upgrade system, too bad

[bitter patrol]

So similar to bozera

[modest igloo]

its the journey

[bitter patrol]

Technically they do but it’s outdated

Why aim for lv 50 max gear when u still need to hit 80

[mild wind]

Ik lol thats why im saying it

[low sun]

I meant upgrade to lvl60->70->80 poetic gear

[bitter patrol]

Oh no

[bitter patrol]

Use this as a guide

[modest igloo]

nope just keep for alt classes or sell

[low sun]

ok ty

[bitter patrol]

Those 4 armor types I talked about write them down

[modest igloo]

i picked up this game for the story and was pleasantly surprised at the endgame

[shrewd kiln]

What are some good jobs/strats for soloing leviathan EX?

[low sun]

i'm at scaevan gear by now, just wasnt sure if i could do anything to the old stuffs

[naive horizon]

Any lvl80 will solo leviathan

[bitter patrol]

Lv 50 Ironworks -> lv 60 Shire -> lv 70 Scaevan -> lv 80 Cryptlurker

[mild wind]

Is there better character creation that you can purchase

[faint flare]

No

[modest igloo]

nope

[shrewd kiln]

yeah but speedwise

[faint flare]

You get what you're given

Outside of unlockable hairs

[naive horizon]

Just use a dps

[modest igloo]

ranged DPS for the adds helps

[bitter patrol]

Leveling up alts like paragon said

[low sun]

Yes I got it ^^

[bitter patrol]

Hey paragon, is there an updated leveling guide

[heady pelican]

How often do they update the Preferred servers? Has been really hard to find one of the two EU Preferred servers open for signup

[low sun]

Every character from the same race looks almost the same, no matter the options, I assume it's by design due to cutscenes or something

[earnest tapir]

Last new person question, i have 250k gil, should i buy anything with it (level 51 heading into HW)

[modest igloo]

just repalce HOH with bozja at lvl 71

[modest igloo]

nah

[earnest tapir]

ok ty

[bitter patrol]

When u did the 80 lv 50 quest it only gave u 1 lv!?!

[mild wind]

@low sun ok cause i was wondering, can I change my race?

[low sun]

You can choose your race during character creation, or do you mean change later on?

[bitter patrol]

Buy or get an event Fantasia

[mild wind]

I mean change later on

[bitter patrol]

Idk how much they cost, I got one for free I’m saving it for male vierra

[low sun]

You get a fantasia (change anything of your character's looks/race/gender) for free when finishing the ARR mainquest

[bitter patrol]

Oh sweet

I’m get another one

[mild wind]

Ok can I change it into those locked characters

I forgot what they were called

[verbal rune]

Then you probably got arr fantasia

[earnest tapir]

I think i have that patch after ARR to do before HW

[bitter patrol]

Yes anything you want

But you must have the expansion to get certain races

[bitter patrol]

Haven’t beaten ARR yet

[low sun]

You cant change into a race that was introduced in an expansion if you dont have the expansion I assume

[bitter patrol]

MSQ 45 rn

[mild wind]

I’ll purchase the full game that comes with everything

[low sun]

Then you can change into whatever you want

[bitter patrol]

Are u on free trial?

[low sun]

There's no unlocking process for races aside from owning the expansion

[bitter patrol]

Yup

[mild wind]

Yea but I can buy the full game any moment

[bitter patrol]

Ok so I would say wait before getting the sub

Beat the story first of ARR

It’s around 260 quest until lv 50 before going to ishgard

Then buy the game

[mild wind]

Whats the benefits of full game besides the expansions

[modest igloo]

no free trial restrictions

[bitter patrol]

You can remove all limits of free trail

Free trial is good to see if your gonna play the game

[modest igloo]

but ft and the standerd edition are the same games

[bitter patrol]

Lower levels is a bit slow paced but ur animations and skills get faster levels at end game

[low sun]

Standard edition is buying the right to not be able to play without paying a sub

[mild wind]

@bitter patrol ARR stands for what

[low sun]

a realm reborn

[bitter patrol]

Facts

[mild wind]

Ok

[low sun]

the main quest of the game

before expansions

[bitter patrol]

The first section of the game 1-50

Heavensward 50-60

Stormblood 60-70

[mild wind]

Im at 19 just doing the class job quests that I missed

[bitter patrol]

Shadowbringer 70-80

Take ur time

Yesterday I grinded from lv 17 to lv 51 haha

[low sun]

You will easily hit max level with your first/main job by just doing main quest and job quests

[bitter patrol]

Do your duty finder as well

Lots of exp

[mild wind]

@bitter patrol idk how u did that lol, im trying as best to progress fast

[bitter patrol]

Same

I leveled up whm to 43 then was like it’s a little too plain for me

[mild wind]

Are the exp boosters

[bitter patrol]

So I went on my lv 17 arcanist and leveld him up in dungeons and hunting log

[mild wind]

There*

[bitter patrol]

Yea for $25 lv 70

Or pre order expansion for $40-100

[low sun]

You can buy a story skip but basically everyone will tell you not to 😄

[bitter patrol]

Haha do it

[stable grail]

They need to add some quality of life change on sorting items or withdrawing/placing a group of items in retainers

[modest igloo]

that is what we do lol

[mild wind]

Ive been told not to also lol

[modest igloo]

FFXIV sells itself on its story

there ARE good raids and stuff like that

[bitter patrol]

Hahah enjoy the game you can literally play with max lv characters and even players from different servers

[modest igloo]

but those raids get even BETTER with story

[bitter patrol]

Yea amazing

I skip the story

[low sun]

I do not care in the slightest for the story but even then I would not under any circumstance buy a skip instead of playing through everything

[mild wind]

I’ll level skip with an alt after

[modest igloo]

yeah

[bitter patrol]

Remember u can have all classes on 1 character

[low sun]

you can play every class on the same character

So no need to play through story more than once

[pearl wharf]

as a monk
whats the best way to allocate points?

[bitter patrol]

The only need for a new character is if you want to play ona. Different world server

[astral badge]

Can I do this with the free trial?

[mild wind]

Well what if you like different races lol

[faint flare]

Rest in det

[astral badge]

My friend told me i can

[low sun]

Of course you can play multiple characters if you want, just dont have to

[bitter patrol]

What is that? Endgame?

[faint flare]

after purchasing the game

[low sun]

Also keep in mind basically nothing is account wide, not even Gil

[faint flare]

Says right there

[pearl wharf]

I was going to do the zodiac quest but I guess not haha

[faint flare]

And it says right there

[astral badge]

Well thats why I was asking

Crazy right?

[faint flare]

Official written info is usually more correct

[ashen barn]

Ive been trying to get f2p working for so long, first I tried to join my old acc but it got cancelled and couldn't use it, so I created a NEW mail and made an account, so when I tried to join the game it said I didnt have a license even tho I am on trial

Yeah but ive gotten fucked over by official shit before so its why I prefer the discords

you said you had your old acc, was that also on steam?

[quiet acorn]

how do i craft wolfram ingot. I cannot find it in the recipe book

[ashen barn]

yeah, but nvm about that I already made a new

[timid remnant]

I had the same issue, ended up downloading from the SE website (had the game on Steam/PS4 in 2015). Works.

[low sun]

If you ever had an account on steam you cant play the free trial on steam, it's stupid but it is what it is

[naive horizon]

I think its a master recipe

You'll need to get a master tome for it

[boreal storm]

Master blacksmith 1

[ashen barn]

oh..

[alpine shadow]

imo, just use the standard free trial client

[naive horizon]

In mor dhona

There's a tab for master recipes, they're separate from the normal ones

[faint flare]

Is the pvp discord/site

On the bright side you can just play and download the trial from the website, not using steam (this doesn't help if you want to use steam wallet or something of course)

[faint flare]

!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.

[frank dune]

can a free trial account on the FFXIV launcher not transfer over to steam? like if i buy the game on steam and long in from there will i be able to log into my free trail account?

[sour pumice]

[twilit arch]

you have flying and teleports unlocked with ng+ so 🤷‍♂️

[low sun]

Your main objective in the game is to follow main story until you finish it

[young warren]

sounds slightly less awful

[twilit arch]

you can go from SE trial to full game steam if you want yes

[shrewd kiln]

what are the best auto translate options to say "yes" and "no"?

[shrewd kiln]

and the odd JP person like myself

[twilit arch]

This channel isn't specific for any region

[rough lynx]

oh i see

[tranquil wolf]

ah okay, so cooking is finr?

[rough lynx]

^^

[lament citrus]

Yes

[rough lynx]

it's kinda early in us :d

[tranquil wolf]

alright

thanks

[heady pelican]

Is there a way to buy the game, and play a Viera in trial mode up to 60 (so my free 30 days don't start) ?

[rough lynx]

when u buy game u cant use trial anymore as i know

[bronze cargo]

How do i buy the latest expansion? I can't seem to find it on their store. I've got the freel trial game through their websites, and not steam?

[lament citrus]

@heady pelican no once u buy game sub system start

[rough lynx]

u better not buy game before 60

:d

[sour pumice]

u can transfer to steam if u want

i think there was a bit of an issue with SE store rn

but feel free to correct me :3

[bronze cargo]

Allright, I'll try that out. Thanks!

[lament citrus]

And viera is locked to current expansion

[lament citrus]

But once u get game to steam everything u buy thro steam

[grim saffron]

so buying complete edition on steam doesnt get me all the expansions and buying from square gets me them?

[rough lynx]

where do i keep clothes?

they aren't in bag

[shrewd kiln]

ctrl-i

[rough lynx]

is there separate storage for it?

[boreal storm]

It does

[rough lynx]

oh there is separate

[dreamy scroll]

hi, dumb question: do all the “steps” of one relic weapon look the same? Asking cause I just got the ARR relic purely for the glam, and apparently there’s more “steps” to it (atma, animus, etc). If I only want the glam, should I get those or no

[faint flare]

No

[grim saffron]

oh okay, guess i read wrong

[modest igloo]

They evolve and have new looks

[dreamy scroll]

And how do I get it to let me place it into the glam dresser

[heady pelican]

I know, hence "buy the game" is included

[dreamy scroll]

bc rn I’m only able to apply with a prism

[agile laurel]

I'm almost sorry to say this, ARR relics aren't able to be put in the dresser - you need the replica, and because ARR is dumb asf sometimes you only get those after completing the entire weapon

Which is, honestly, an ache

[heady pelican]

The latest available, or the one coming later this year?

[agile laurel]

But, uhm. Congratulations on running into literally the most annoying part of ARR relic weapons I guess

[boreal storm]

The reason they can’t go in is because relics have custom stats, and the dresser can’t handle that

[dreamy scroll]

yeah it seems very tedious

[grim saffron]

can you buy the one coming later this year and all current ones right now

[dreamy scroll]

Like I needed crafter materials

[boreal storm]

Yeah the ARR one is horrible without marketboard

[knotty lily]

Relics are meant to be tedious, they are a purposeful grind and at the time are Best in Slot for their expansion

[boreal storm]

HW relic is a poetic sink but more manageable

[neat umbra]

a lot of the way ARR was built was so it'd work on a PS3 initially, tbh even now it having to be on ps4 really is the biggest limiter

[dreamy scroll]

that makes sense

[verbal rune]

Not really

[verbal rune]

Considering how ffxiv performs on ps4

[iron mirage]

what's the little blue icon by their name? o:

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to auto target? I don't really like using my mouse in mmos

[neat umbra]

frame rate is important but its not the biggest limiter, originally the available memory and scripting considerations were the biggest issue

[cunning maple]

I know regular enemies don't, but do bosses of duties drop items if you're unsynced?

[faint flare]

Nope. You can use tab to cycle mobs

[dreamy scroll]

I think there’s an option to target the nearest enemy when you press autoattack.

[faint flare]

You only get items from chests

[agile laurel]

Means they won't attack if not provoked.

Orange means hostile

[leaden ginkgo]

by using tab, does it mean all the enemies that are aggro'd to you?

[agile laurel]

The embellishment of the symbol reflects the power level of the mob

[leaden ginkgo]

or just in the area

[oblique yew]

can A4s be done solo?

[iron mirage]

what's an A4 o:

[oblique yew]

with unsynced ilvl 520

[boreal storm]

Alexander 4, it’s the HW raid series

[twilit arch]

blue mage maybe

[devout lichen]

where are people seeing the new skills?

cuz people are posting them on reddit

[faint flare]

In the benchmark

[devout lichen]

oh

[oblique yew]

like when i destroying the 4th leg, there is this attack that insta kills me

[twilit arch]

yeah you die to nisi

not entirely sure how'd you go about it as blue mage, but you definitely need to burst at the end

[astral badge]

Can I get Dark Divinity in the free trial?

[faint flare]

Odin is lv50 yes

[boreal storm]

Whether you get people to actually queue for it is a different story

[subtle onyx]

hi im new and atm i rly dont know what class to go for since i dont know how will they feal like at higher lvls, is class changing posible for all of them or is it restricted casters only switching to casters, mele only to male hiters?

[leaden ginkgo]

Does race matter at all if you create a character?

[astral badge]

How do you even get the set?

[faint flare]

Nope

[neat umbra]

has no limitations

[heavy wadi]

no - just note that most headgear does not display on viera and hrothgar, and that they can't use acquirable hairstyles

[robust crow]

check pins for a video that may help you pick your class

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay thanks 😊 just wondering cause they have starting stats

[robust crow]

you can be every class in the game on one character

you don't have to pick

[heavy wadi]

racial stats are insignificant, yeah

[robust crow]

just try them all

[boreal storm]

Fight Odin until you eventually get em all

[astral badge]

Oh

Do people just not queue for it anymore?

[faint flare]

Not really

People unsync most old content for glamour

To face roll

[boreal storm]

It’s old content and doesn’t have a mount associated with it

[astral badge]

Ah

Can I not just unsync and solo it orrr does it not work like that in this game?

[faint flare]

And it's classed as a soft extreme ontop

You can

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a ranged attack for dk besides flood of darkness(shadow)?

[faint flare]

At a much higher level

[faint flare]

Unmend

[astral badge]

Im assuming 70-89 range right?

[leaden ginkgo]

ah ok I see thanks

[faint flare]

Basically yes

[ocean axle]

what is this spell and the icon of it doing as maruder? i don't understand that

[faint flare]

It's your tank stance

[ocean axle]

ahhh so with it mobs will get higher aggro on me?

[faint flare]

It what makes you a tank

[boreal storm]

It’s the “I’m tanking now” button

[faint flare]

It gives all your skills a 10x aggro multipler

[ocean axle]

nice! thank you

[random gulch]

yeah and you turn it off when you tank swap

[faint flare]

No

You don't turn it off

You just shirk

[random gulch]

really

[faint flare]

Shirk is enough

[random gulch]

lmao nvm dont listen to me

[dreamy scroll]

Where do people go to get a permafrost party for a specific duty/trial/raid? Like if I want to farm for specific armor or mount

*premade

[random gulch]

I dont tank I just read party chat people were saying "turn off tank stance"

[boreal storm]

Party finder

[faint flare]

People who say to turn off stances for swaps are stupid and don't know how shirk works

[boreal storm]

If you’re on trial, someone has to make the party for you

[dreamy scroll]

I know that, but that usually takes a while if I’m spamming a specific duty

[faint flare]

Farm groups usually stick around for a few runs

[dreamy scroll]

I meant maybe somewhere in this disc

[boreal storm]

Unsync them

[random gulch]

okay so the main tank would shrink when they swap and becomes off tank?

[faint flare]

Off tank vokes

Main tank shirks

Done

[bitter patrol]

Where can I buy my first set of ironworks from who?

[random gulch]

ah okay thanks im dps but really good to know

[upper yew]

do i need to collect those aether shards in HW maps

[faint flare]

Aurina/aedina in mor Dhona or main cities sundry splendors

[still marlin]

Bruh the aymark gear is expensivr af

[faint flare]

Aether currents? If you want to fly yes

[upper yew]

currents right

dosnt rly show how many there is

[bitter patrol]

Ok thank ty

[upper yew]

i see then randomly on map

[faint flare]

Travel > aether currents

[upper yew]

and quests

[faint flare]

Use your compass to help you find field ones

In your key items

[shrewd kiln]

the "aether currents" menu fills up as you find them, green dots

[neat umbra]

some are tricky to get to, if you wanna complete them all make sure you use the compass a lot

[boreal storm]

It’s pretty much always 15. 10 map ones & 5 quest ones

[past gust]

whats the dicord command to help find a world to play in?

[random gulch]

man sitting in this chat really helps

[boreal storm]

Only exception is the final HW area because flying is required

[upper yew]

tnx for tips

[robust crow]

well

to clarify

if both tanks are performing about the same DPS

[south flower]

did they nerf XP for Command Missions? I did a Thousand Maws as level 63 RDM, got like 2k per kill (+180%), 45k for completion, need 5.8m XP for 64...

[robust crow]

then just shirk is fine

however if one tank is playing super poorly and doing way less damage

might need to consider turning off tank stance just so aggro doesn't ping pong

but..better yet, just tell the weaker tank to stop being shit

[boreal storm]

You shouldn’t be doing command missions after 60

[little swift]

Stance off when shirk isn't available is fine too

[random gulch]

ah okay

[robust crow]

or yeah when shirk is on CD

[south flower]

@boreal storm Ah, ok good to know. I need to get to 65 to sync back up with MSQ, just spam Duty Roulettes and POTD? Can I unlock HoH?

[neat umbra]

does DRK get shirk? I've never seen it

[random gulch]

perfect I understand that now

[robust crow]

every tank gets shirk

it's a default tank skill

[little swift]

But thats usually down to a situation where you have to swap frequently which doesn't exist in normal content

[robust crow]

or if you fuck up and fat finger your shirk for nothing

[dire orbit]

guys i'm really struggling to figure this out but basically i've been suspended and I have no idea why

[boreal storm]

HoH unlocks from lvl 61 quest from Hamakaze

[boreal storm]

You have beat floor 50 of potd right? @south flower

[faint flare]

You got banned/suspended

[dire orbit]

not banned haven't received any email
