[boreal storm]

But you are suspended as seen under your account status

[neat umbra]

did you do anything bad

[random gulch]

did you follow asmon with a mount?

[warm snow]

Check your role actions

[robust crow]

did you harass anyone about their DPS

[neat umbra]

bad enough to get suspended is a very low bar, some people are astonished at getting punished for beign rude to other people

[dire orbit]

yeah but not sure why though, and no never had beef with anyone in the game or done anything else bad

[warm snow]

Have you checked spam etc in your emails in case it got caught by a filter?

[dire orbit]

yeah I have and nothing is there from square the last email I have from them is me buying fanta

[upper glen]

Can I only get the Crypt weapon through the yellow envelopes?

[neat umbra]

omg, I do have shirk, but I misread it as divert damage and I've just been doing it on random dps to take some heat off me

[warm snow]

A) he's on chaos and B) we know they got emails

[warm snow]

Yes

[robust crow]

yes, and for this reason it's generally not recommended to bother with the crypt weapon

[hollow pelican]

Are trust dungeons a good way to gain xp with a DPS? Been almost 20 minutes waiting for hollmister switch

[upper glen]

what weapon should i go for?

[robust crow]

you have to clear e11s to upgrade it to 530 anyway

no way to get around it

alternates are upgraded exarchic or diamond weapon

or your relic weapon

[shrewd kiln]

do triple triad cards drop in undersized parties?

[robust crow]

a.exarch is 520, diamond weapon is 525, your relic is 535 and is bis

[upper glen]

ahh okay

[random gulch]

lol just making sure because a lot of people are getting banned for that also kinda joking

[robust crow]

yes

[upper glen]

ill try to go for exarch since thats what i have

[robust crow]

a.exarchic is good enough for anything in the game

[warm snow]

There's better gear but it's plenty good for most players

[neat umbra]

square enix don't have any background software monitoring automated bans right, so all account action is taken by a human ?

[robust crow]

yeah the only upgrades from a.exarch are diamond, your relic, e12s savage weapon, that upgrade crypt weapon that I don't recommend bothering with

[upper glen]

How do i get these blue envelopes to get the A.Exhartic?

[robust crow]

check my guide

[upper glen]

do i have to buy gear and exchange them

[robust crow]

that's pinned

here

yes you have to buy gear and exchange it

[random gulch]

I think so they would have to be read over by a human before the actual ban or suspention

[robust crow]

but you can buy literally any gear and exchange it

[spare pulsar]

Can someone TLDR/ ELI5 double weave?

[robust crow]

so buy the cheapest weapon (doesn't have to be your class)

and turn that in

[upper glen]

from the market board?

[robust crow]

tldr ff14 GCD is 2.5 sec, so press at most 2 oGCD buttons between each weave

yes andy, from marketboard

[shrewd kiln]

yeah. look for the best gil to envelope ratio

[robust crow]

or have someone craft it for you

[upper glen]

Alright thanks for the help guys

[gusty apex]

LFG
Just looking for players to team up with. Im lvl 8 at the moment. i dont know anyone as yet to join me so to who ever wants to. feel free to message me. Im over 18 from the UK and happy to chat and play or whatever.

[spare pulsar]

Oooo I think I gotcha. Like if you're playing WoW and you sometimes see part of the cast bar for your ability a different color?

[robust crow]

uh, kind of? wow's GCD is 1 second or lower, and they also don't really have an internal cooldown on ogcds

so weaving isn't really the same on WoW

[spare pulsar]

I think I understand what you mean though. Thanks!

[upper glen]

Is Crystarium diamond gear?

[robust crow]

FFXIV has a built-in delay on activating ogcds and so, unlike wow, you can't just press every fucking button and they all activate at once

at most you can only press 2 ogcds between your GCD without clipping into your next GCD

[warm snow]

!faq weaving

[zinc orbit]

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

[robust crow]

some classes use triple weave but VERY rarely

and only in specific situations

[warm snow]

[robust crow]

it's a loss 99% of the time to triple weave

[late coyote]

somsone one in here mentioned a while ago i need to do the legacy of allag questline for msq so i might as well do em now im at the labyrinth of the anchients part of the questline do i just unlock the raid and im good for the msq or do i need ot do the whole thing?

[warm snow]

Whole thing. Last raid is world of darkness

[bitter patrol]

Hey does the ARR 2.1-2.5 quest give us poetics like enough to get the full set of gear?

[late coyote]

ah ok cheers

[warm snow]

Yes

[warm snow]

Crystal towers story is relevant to msq so pay a bit of attention

[iron mirage]

I forgot how to commend players, and now I feel bad, because I got a commendation :c

[bitter patrol]

Oh sweet

[bitter patrol]

Does all the extra quest from Hw and SB do the same thing with the poetics?

[warm snow]

Pretty much

[bitter patrol]

Oh sweet

I thought they were a hassle but it gives u enough to buy the full set then it’s worth it

2400 per each set

[iron mirage]

How do I commend players?

[bitter patrol]

That takes a while

[sour pumice]

bottom left of the screen i think ?

[neat umbra]

stormblood is such a step down from the heavensward story, is shadowbringers a good story? I'm doing post stormblood quests atm

[bitter patrol]

Dam that means in order to get full set of cryptlurkers, it will take you 6 weeks if you min-max your allagan

[iron mirage]

is it too late now that the dungeon is over?

[sour pumice]

yes

[iron mirage]

now I feel bad 😔 aww

[warm snow]

Shadowbringers is the best story so far, side note imho stormblood shines brightest in its patches

[neat umbra]

the post stormblood stuff is pretty good yeah

[iron mirage]

can I go get my clothes dyed?

[sour pumice]

its okay you'll get a lot of chances to commend other player lol

some equipment are undyeable

[warm snow]

!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.

[iron mirage]

:DD

[shrewd kiln]

can I give a mist dragon card to someone else?

[sour pumice]

cute lalas

[warm snow]

You're a complete beginner tho, so most of that gear probably has dyable versions elsewhere/later

[warm snow]

Note the UNTRADEABLE

[bitter patrol]

I’ll take it

It’s free

[iron mirage]

:DD people are way nice to me, my first 2 dungeons were awesome

[shrewd kiln]

it says "unsellable market prohibited" only

[warm snow]

[bitter patrol]

Oh nvm

[iron mirage]

maybe I'll get my chocobo today O: and I wanna get minions!

yup

the MSQ i'm on right now is... checks

What level is it? Cuz mount is lv20 msq

[low sun]

He's almost there

Good sprout

[iron mirage]

I'm level 24 already :DD

[warm snow]

/pet

[iron mirage]

[warm snow]

That's normal

[low sun]

you will most likely be lvl80 before you even enter shadow bringers, dont worry about job lvl

[iron mirage]

I'm trying to do things right, the only MMO I've spent more than like 3 hours on is DC Universe xD

[low sun]

You cant really screw up by following MSQ

[iron mirage]

I'ma be on the free trial for a little bit, but I'll have the starter edition soon!

[bitter patrol]

FFXIV is similar in certain ways

Exyobytes are materia

[iron mirage]

that was also like 8-10 years ago D:

[bitter patrol]

Dungeons and raids are the same

Endgame gear is the same

Oh wow haha

[iron mirage]

in all honesty, I got to level 30 in that game and kinda dropped it after, and I don't remember toooo much

[bitter patrol]

Mounts instead of movement speed

[low sun]

Most theme park MMOs follow the same formula, with varying degree of unique-ness

[bitter patrol]

And your not limited to 1 class

[iron mirage]

I forgot how to get into town ;w;

[bitter patrol]

Lv 30 is max lv

[obsidian patio]

Go to the door icon on the map

[warm snow]

[bitter patrol]

Im lv 30 ilvl 258 in that game but stop playing because I couldn’t queue up for end game content

Trash

[iron mirage]

ohhhh it was behind me dumb

I played that game with my best friend at the time. It doesn't really feel the same without him

[bitter patrol]

That’s why discord is here

[low sun]

Lucky me, none of my friends play online games so all suck the same for me

[bitter patrol]

Make some new friends

That’s the best part of playing in the 21 century

[iron mirage]

Maybe it's just me, but Gridania was easy to get around in, and so far, these other 2 cities I can go to are super confusing to navigate xD

[simple atlas]

Yeah I hate Limsa

[iron mirage]

The Coliseum? o:

[simple atlas]

The city

[iron mirage]

oh, my bad, I just noticed a place called the coliseum here is all

[neat mauve]

where do I preorder Endwalkers from? sorry if its obvious, their website is so confusing.

[simple atlas]

Steam if you have the game on Steam

SE if you don't

[neat mauve]

so you dont do it on the mogstation?

[simple atlas]

Or PSN if on PS5

[low sun]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/endwalker/

[simple atlas]

No, SE store

[iron mirage]

by some miracle, I found my MSQ in Ul'dah!

:DD adventure!

[lament citrus]

0 is reversed is rule

[iron mirage]

I'm hoping that when I get the starter edition on Steam, it doesn't make a big fuss out of it. My free trial is from steam, so I'm hoping it goes smoothly

[shrewd kiln]

uldah looks complicated but its essentially a set of concentric circles

[low sun]

Just keep in mind you cant play for free anymore as soon as you buy it

[sacred oracle]

steam is the easiest way

[daring stone]

crazy how tonberry is still not open

D:

[lament citrus]

@iron mirage free trial doesnt matter if was stand alone or steam

[sacred oracle]

u can stil play just dont put the code steam gives u

[lament citrus]

Once u buy the game u stick yo it

[gloomy bridge]

Is the Amdapor Keep the same as the Lost City of Amdapor?

[iron mirage]

long as I have the same account/character without much hassle, I'll be happy ❤️

[low sun]

there's 0 hassle

[buoyant crow]

what server should I choose for NA? what makes them different?

[oak ice]

Amdapor Keep is separate from Lost City

The only difference between servers is if they have the road to 70 buff, in which case they're marked by a star, or if you already have friends on it

[low wedge]

As a new player, I am confused as to what bonuses I should be looking out for, For Rogue, am I trying to prioritize Dexterity or Strength?

[oak ice]

Dex

[low sun]

Doesn't matter, if you dont have any friends in a guild or whatever playing on a specific server you can literally choose whichever, can try to get on an xp bonus one if you want

[lament citrus]

Once u buy starter/complete edition u r lock to whatever u buy

[buoyant crow]

Are the datacenters all located in the same place, I dont want to choose one thats across the country

[open rivet]

Do "Name of the Elements" & "Brand of the Elements" ever become useful?
Lv. 30 crafts & even w/ 99% progress it still falls short of just using veneration & using basic synthesis

[daring stone]

how much is it to switch servers

[oak ice]

Eventually, you will be required to equip stuff that has dexterity on it

[lament citrus]

18$

[young steppe]

Where is the place to go to this dungeon unsynced? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Sirensong_Sea

[low wedge]

Do you know what other bonuses I should be looking out for other than Dex?

[young steppe]

It says lower la noscea

but where

[low sun]

Datacenter is different from server, choose the one that's closest to where you live for best latency obviously

[daring stone]

will it work even if it's tranfer to a congested server

[oak ice]

Prioritise item level, it naturally comes with more dex

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

[glad kelp]

speaking of triple triad, can you lose your cards if you lose your battle in 14 as in FF8?

[open rivet]

any, play what you want

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[regal ridge]

ah ok

Guys where do i see my grand company hunting log

[nocturne topaz]

Is it just normal, that i cant enter the server im currently playing because its too full or did i just goofed smth up?

[young steppe]

ooh ty

[lament citrus]

@nocturne topaz u will be queued

[buoyant crow]

How similar is this games combat to wow?

[low sun]

If you are on trial version you can't enter whenever the server has a login queue (which is basically always during primetime due to the current hype)

[nocturne topaz]

big oof

[daring stone]

oh you can't queue to log in on free trial

D:

[lament citrus]

Oh rip

[nocturne topaz]

thanks for the fast reply, but holy moly

[daring stone]

with that in mind should i still wait for tonberry to open up and be with my friends

[lament citrus]

Same concept but not same

[modest igloo]

gcd is 2.5s but later on you just skills to do in between'

[low sun]

The GCD will feel excruciatingly long when you come directly from WoW, but it gets alot better later on, especially once you enter the expansions, a lot of off-GCD skills to weave into the GCD timer usually

[modest igloo]

like my APM on MCH is 45 but it didnt get that way until lvl 70

[buoyant crow]

GCD in wow was miserable last xpac, it really can't get worse than that

[low sun]

GCD in FF14 is 2.5 seconds

[buoyant crow]

But im guessing not everything is on GCD, everything was on gcd in the first patch of bfa

[low sun]

So until you have oGCD skills it can feel really daunting

[modest igloo]

thats right

machinst, my main, has a ton of weaving

[late hinge]

At lvl 80 about half your skills will be pressed between gcd's

[young steppe]

Okay at 80 I can't 1 shot unsync in Sirensong...

[modest igloo]

yeah SB is where things start getting rough

[misty saffron]

how does loot work in the dungeons, is it who ever click the "need" faster?

[heavy wadi]

it's a dice roll

[low sun]

it's a dice roll

[faint flare]

Need beats greed... Can only neeed on stuff for your job

[misty saffron]

by the time i figure it out its already too late lol

[boreal glade]

hey, im wanna try out some of these classes and i was told i can job change. im level 16 right now, where do i go to change my job?

[low sun]

huh? you just click and that's it, everything else is automatic

[faint flare]

Loot isn't given until everyone rolls

[modest igloo]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[modest igloo]

thats how to upgrade a job

[faint flare]

If you can't need then it's not for your job

[misty saffron]

oki i see

[heavy wadi]

or if the timer runs out, but it's generous

[boreal glade]

or class i guess

cuase im under 30 right

[naive horizon]

do you lvl10 class quest

[modest igloo]

yeah thats what i meant

[naive horizon]

then you can change your class

[leaden ginkgo]

Guys, I quitted 3 months ago and came back today. I checked mogatation to make sure my subscription was inactive before logging in. Tried to log in anyway and it straight up let me. How is this possible? Have they been charging me every month? It was inactive of that I’m certain!

[low sun]

14 days free playtime for returners

current event

[heavy wadi]

there's a free login campaign atm

[misty field]

do more people play on steam or individual client

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh nice

That’s cute

[heavy wadi]

we don't know, but it doesn't really matter

since it's the same game/crossplay

[low sun]

steam and standalone play on the same servers, so if that's what you're wondering about it doesn't matter what you choose

[misty field]

Oh i didn't know it's crossplay

thanks for the help.

[river wagon]

quick dragoon related question, is Gungnir in the game?

[modest igloo]

dont think so

[boreal glade]

also does buying the dlc add any game time?

[modest igloo]

only gae bolg

[modest igloo]

nope

only standerd edition does

[low sun]

Only the base game comes with 30 days sub

[river wagon]

i wanted my mythological spear

i want an oversized toothpick

So this is all the asmongold effect huh? 14 free days upon returning and such

[honest nexus]

anyone using the keyboard shortcut to interact with an object? i got mine working but when there is a "yes" or "no" prompt, it defaults to no. Any way to fix this?

[low sun]

I didn't even know there's an interact shortcut, mind blown

[obsidian patio]

Numpad 2/4/6/8 should let you move the mouse for options like that

[honest nexus]

yeah it does but on my other PC, it always defaults to yes

so i was thinking if i did something

[leaden ginkgo]

So 3 months ago I was running Eden cloud of darkness and doggo, what’s the content I should be doing now?

[neat mauve]

Endwalkers digital collectors edition is the one with the XP earring right

[modest igloo]

still that

hasn't been a new raid tier or ultimate since last year

[leaden ginkgo]

[modest igloo]

normall endwalker would be out now

but not with coivd got another 4 months

[leaden ginkgo]

Understandable I guess

[modest igloo]

at least we know these months mean EW will be poggers

rather than rushed

same with the ultimate

[leaden ginkgo]

At the same time there is no motivation to do eden at this point. Useless in a few months

is there a Canada square enix store or just US?

[low sun]

If you are on Trial you can't login when server has a queue, maybe thats whats happening?

[sudden bison]

healer question - is there a better way to heal party members than to click their health bars in the party frame and then click heal?

[waxen prawn]

maybe

i could join in a queue earlier today tho

[obsidian patio]

The garlean creations? I think a common name for them is roaders or riders

[low sun]

Well are you on trial? Then thats the reason

[waxen prawn]

yeah i am, but i was put into a queue earlier today

and even yesterday, when the server was full, i was put in a queue

[low sun]

Seems weird

[waxen prawn]

yeah thats why im confused

[low sun]

no idea then sry

[waxen prawn]

yeah np

ty tho

[low sun]

Officially trial accounts arent allowed to queue

[naive horizon]

servers are struggling at the min, even my FC friends who have paid subscriptions are having trouble getting in

[waxen prawn]

ok thank you

[knotty lily]

Its 100% Servers choking, but paid players are prioritized. Some Trial players get into a normal queue, and sometimes it will force quit them out, just depends on popularity

[waxen prawn]

ok thanks very much

[low sun]

When the hype is too stronk

[arctic narwhal]

Does the endwalker preorder include shadowbringers?

[modest igloo]

hope you can get in later man! servers should let everyone in!

[low sun]

Yes but you dont get access to it until Endwalker releases

It's kind of backwards lmao

[waxen prawn]

yea

found out too

too bad

[low sun]

but to be fair it says so right below the buy button

[waxen prawn]

but i think ill just wait till november

yeah ofc

but still kinda sucks

[arctic narwhal]

Hmmm yeah. I like the preorder bonuses, but I'm trying to decide if I'm just starting if I'm gonna want shadowbringers between now and then

[waxen prawn]

i was hoping i could preorder and loot up till shadowbringers

but ill have to wait i guess

[obsidian patio]

!expansion

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Endwalker:

127 days, 12 hours, 48 minutes, 57 seconds

[low sun]

You could try to get Shadow Bringers on sale or something, but I think the last sale basically just ended 3 days ago

[waxen prawn]

127 days

[obsidian patio]

Well in terms of catching up to content you can certainly do that before EW launch

[waxen prawn]

yeah ik, i wasnt home so i couldnt get it

[lament citrus]

Is lv70 highest mob u can power level blu?

[waxen prawn]

yeah, but "only" up to lvl 60

[obsidian patio]

So it depends on if you’re fine not immediately accessing EW content for less or to spend more to start it when it comes out

[fiery pagoda]

i just downloaded benchmark stuff and im about to extract files. i dont quite remember, am i supposed to just extract the ".." file or everything beneath it except the ".." file?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[low sun]

".." isnt a file, it just lets you navigate through the package, just extract everything

[fiery pagoda]

i see, thank u. im a complete newb at these things

[low sun]

no worries

[fiery pagoda]

when u say everything, do i include the ".." ?

[low sun]

doesnt matter, you cant extract it since its not a file

[fiery pagoda]

ok

[low sun]

but the unpacker wont care if you select it or not

[regal ridge]

if i don't buy shadowbringers but i have stormblood and endwalker comes out will i get shadowbringers for free?

[leaden ginkgo]

Do we have details on reaper skills yet? Like if he is in the high or low end of the dmg spectrum? If he heals himself or what mechanic he is based on? Etc.

[waxen prawn]

yes

[modest igloo]

nope

i mean it'll be good looking at shadowbringers meta

[waxen prawn]

im pretty sure you get all the expansions before that

so even shadowbringers

[modest igloo]

but no idea what it will do until like september

[regal ridge]

uff thats good cause I won't have enough money to buy shadowbringers & endwalker

how do i test the "score" on the benchmark

[lament citrus]

U just play it

[spiral inlet]

Do tanks do more damaged synced than original ARR since tank stance doesn't give you a damage debuff

[modest igloo]

most likely

[fiery pagoda]

am i not supposed to skip the cinematic?

[modest igloo]

i mean ucob can be done with 8 tanks

[modest igloo]

correct

let it play out

[low sun]

the benchmark is the cinematic

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey, do you guys know if theres a Mateus or Crystal discord server ?

[modest igloo]

none that I'm aware of

[lament citrus]

For?

[twilit arch]

https://discord.gg/YWjp4QC

[modest igloo]

fuck im dumb

[lament citrus]

There u go

[modest igloo]

im so stupid

[leaden ginkgo]

Trying to put a team together to do Bahamut Coils

[modest igloo]

[knotty lily]

Good luck! She's rough

[sour pumice]

What about primal ?

[twilit arch]

there's a couple of them, check #resources

[sour pumice]

Thanks

[lethal cipher]

Hey guys, are there any freetrial communities you know of? If so which datacenter / server are they located? Maybe in some other discord servers?

[heavy jewel]

does everyone end up having the same mounts and armor throughout the game or is stuff a % drop chance so you can be unique?

[modest igloo]

some mounts are really damn hard to get

[heavy jewel]

and require side content

[modest igloo]

all the mounts are the same but some mounts require savage raiding and shit

its why almost all side content gives mounts

extreme mounts are a low% drop but have a supermount if you collect them all each expac

[obsidian patio]

Haven’t really heard of any that cater specifically to trial players

[modest igloo]

like the fucking mecha dragon

god i want it

[ashen barn]

all the chaos servers are full, how to I switch to light instead (haven't created my first character yet)

[heavy jewel]

i mean how can you be unique in this game if everyone jsut unlocks and earns the same stuff?

such as skills and mounts

[open rivet]

return to main menu -> select data center

[ashen barn]

ahhh ty

[heavy jewel]

and equipment*

[obsidian patio]

In terms of skills you don’t , all of a class plays the same

[modest igloo]

because actually getting some stuff is super hard

[heavy jewel]

hard or time consuming?

[modest igloo]

both

[lethal cipher]

i heard of these "underdog" communities from a friend but he lost contact after quit playing for a while .. he said they were pretty hardcore in terms of raiding the old stuff like alex / coil and stuff

[ashen barn]

all the eu servers are full? bruhh

[modest igloo]

ultimate fights are pure glam right now but are stupid hard to beat

you need to be really good at the fight and rotation and not fuck up for 15+mins

or its back to the start

[heavy jewel]

and is all the raid and dungeon just following guides or do people go in blind for fun ever?

[crystal zodiac]

is there a way to limit download speed on launcher ?

[naive horizon]

you'll probably need to try at off peak times, late night/early morning etc

[heavy jewel]

are they still fun if you follow guides?

[modest igloo]

most people do guides because it takes them 100 hours of prog

[ashen barn]

so basically I can't play now?

[obsidian patio]

Anything that’s not high end content, like Extreme Trials/Savage Raids/Ultimate Raids, can be done completely blind with little issue

[naive horizon]

probably not if you're trying to make a new character

[rancid junco]

cant create on tonberry even though it's dead inside

[ashen barn]

ah well

[obsidian patio]

And even Extreme Trials and Savage Raids can be done blind if desired

[dull valley]

Is there a boost that will get a character to 50 and ready to start the HW story stuff?

[modest igloo]

nah

[obsidian patio]

Only to level 70

[modest igloo]

theres a story skip

[obsidian patio]

!faq skips

[zinc orbit]

What does each skip do?

Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.

Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS

[dull valley]

rip, guess I gotta wait a bit longer then for my secondary character

[indigo mural]

The amount of buttons is overwhelming, first mmo haha...is there a way to set the hotbar up is sections? So like these are my card stuff, these are my single target heals and my aoe heals, these are my DPS stuff

[sacred oracle]

i can farm the event every 20 mins in golden saucer forever right? no limit?

[indigo mural]

Hope that question makes sense

[heavy jewel]

are world bosses just special fates? what other cool side content is there outside dungeons and raids?

[undone meteor]

why my game crashes right after launch 2 hours ago there were no problems

[obsidian patio]

You can change the shape of the hotbar in character config+hotbar settings/hud layout

[indigo mural]

@heavy jewel blue mage is fun side content

[obsidian patio]

So it can be a 6x2 or 3x4 square/rectangle

[heavy jewel]

i mean what kind of non instanced content is there?

that is fun?

[indigo mural]

But can I like separate it?

[obsidian patio]

Only daily questing, for the most part.

And world bosses for vanity items

You can place the skills however you want on your hotbar

[indigo mural]

Sorry I mean like separating it

So like I have a say a group of 4 boxes separated from other boxes

[heavy jewel]

How often are events like that yokai watch and stuff?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys I got some GC seals lying around and I thought I can try buying mats and selling them on the market. Suggestions?

[obsidian patio]

Collaboration events are really a “when they want it to happen” thing

There’s no real schedule to them

[heavy jewel]

any crossovers with FFX FFIX or FFTactics yet? those are the ones i have played

[faint flare]

Tactics is part of the lv70 24mans

Ivalice

[obsidian patio]

Tactics and 12

[boreal storm]

But it’s not a “crossover”

[obsidian patio]

But they’re in-universe crossovers

[obsidian patio]

Like sectioning off a hotbar? Then pretty sure not.

You can use an option to hide empty slots of a hotbar to give it that feeling

[south flower]

yeah, I've grinded 51-60 POTD quite a bit, I'll look into HoH

[worthy summit]

Do you really just get to choose one weapon glamour per Feast season if you are not top 100?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a website to check what materials are selling for? I’m thinking of using my GC seals to buy mats. Is that a good idea?

[obsidian patio]

Only a few, but they rely on players using plug-ins to scrape the data of the items they look up so some items can very easily be outdated.

I recommend just using the favorite option on items you’re looking at the prices for

And yeah GC seals for items can be a good option

I like to check these items for their prices and demand.
Coke
Aqueous Whetstones
Peacock Ore
Scheelite
Petrified Logs
Dubbin
Borax
Arachne Silk
Potash

[sacred oracle]

im lv59 what dungeon i should leveling?

[modest igloo]

gubal library

until 61

[sacred oracle]

ill see the condition to unlock it ty

ah msq

[modest igloo]

always msq

you should know this by now hahaha

[sacred oracle]

welp xD

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

Just keep playing heavensward

[sacred oracle]

it's kinda boring :C

[leaden ginkgo]

do I have to complete the Shadowbringers campaign in order to unlock the lvl 80 dk job quest?

[modest igloo]

yep

[leaden ginkgo]

damn ok

[modest igloo]

lvl 80 quest doesn't lock anything tho so thats nice

[warm snow]

Just more story

Still good story tho

[warped furnace]

for "The Resistance Remembers" do I really have to do 18 ivalice raids and 18 shadow of mhach raids?

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks Wynn! Also another stupid question but if I were to get into selling mats how can I tell what a good selling price would be (a good base selling price, I don’t really know the value of the items so bare with me) For an example I just checked “coke” and coke is selling for 6,888-20,000 on my server. So is 6,888 a good price to sell coke?

[warm snow]

You can also test your luck on fates

[warped furnace]

oh jeez

[obsidian patio]

You need to look at the per unit price, not total price

Because I heavily doubt coke is selling for 7k each

[sacred oracle]

where can i see all the currency i have

[warm snow]

Currency

[obsidian patio]

I usually just look at the sale history of the item and sell around that

[warm snow]

Click the gil icon

Or ctrl c is the default

[sacred oracle]

perfect

[leaden ginkgo]

Oops my mistake so in this case is 135-200 ish😂 and ok I’ll take a look into it!

[hard ember]

What is the best available lvl. 80 Crafter's gear?

Is it the Ovim Wool (...) of Crafting set?

[cunning scroll]

Hello everyone! Are texture mods bannable? I'd love to try out this retextured HUD mod but I don't wanna get the banhammer

[mental escarp]

How deep is the carpentder job? what's your impression of it and feel? does it make lots of money or is it just a meme job?

All of the crafters in general are fairly deep. Though for money making purposes Culinarian heavily leans most of their profit on endgame food

The rest have tons of avenues for money like glamour gear/weapons, furniture, and leveling/endgame gear

[jovial dew]

If I want to level arcanist, do I need ACN weapon? (I have arcanist lvl 19) and if I dont have one in bags where can I get one?

Yes you need to have the weapon for the job to level it up

You can buy level 1-49 vendor gear in each of the 3 starting cities

[mossy halo]

which tank other than gunbreaker (id doi't have that expansion) has the least amount og abilities with long cooldowns?

[robust crow]

uh?

all of them do

paladin and war run on a 1-minute rotation cycle, pretty much

[spark pollen]

how can I search free companies ingame ?

[robust crow]

DRK's cds are kinda weird but I guess they have a 90 second cycle

WAR is probably the "slowest" tank in that they have the least buttons to press I guess

[pine notch]

Wow refugee here wondering how the classes work, I understand that you pick a base class and it will evolve but do i need to pick a certain start class to do a certain job or can I swap at will like in wow?

[robust crow]

DRK probably the hardest tank to play, imo

[naive horizon]

play any class

[robust crow]

some classes start at 1, other classes start at 30, 50, or 60

you can be any class in the game at the same time on 1 character

[dreamy fjord]

Hey, any tips using the map? everytime i check a quest location's map, i can never find where that place is, for example
Gridania - Acorn Orchard
i've checked this whole thing, and didnt find it

[robust crow]

there's no restrictions other than needing the level to start them

[robust crow]

not every place has an aetheryte you can teleport to

look on the actual map for subsections

[dreamy fjord]

how do i know that b4 hand?

[robust crow]

try clicking on the quest and looking on the actual map for the quest location

every quest in the game can be clicked on and will subsequently show exactly where it's located at

[dreamy fjord]

i didnt pick the quest up, i mean when i google something

[obsidian patio]

What’s the quest name?

[wintry chasm]

Well when you Google it it'd also tell you where in The Shroud

[pine notch]

which class should I start to play a healer? Also (still downloading the game) is there classes that certain races can't be?

[boreal storm]

Down to the coordinates

[obsidian patio]

Conjurer is the only starting healer

[dreamy fjord]

Gale-force Warning - it even shows me the map location, but i've got no ideea where that is

[obsidian patio]

Arcanist can branch off to a healer at 30

[gray heath]

does completing MSQ mean all post shadowbringers quests too?

[inland fox]

hey guys, lvl 16 whatever here. When should I worry about finding a guild? I'm happily just playing this as a rpg so far👌

You aren't restricted on what you can be and races make no difference in the game and neither does the patron deity.

all races can be any class

You don’t use DF for coils

[modest igloo]

ask around in limsa lominsa for an FC if you aren't on the free trial

[inland fox]

@modest igloo I don't know what LL is haha 😉 I guess I am on free trial? I paid via Steam, it gives me 30days playtime. I'm supernew

[modest igloo]

ah then you're fine

keep doing MSQ

[vagrant crescent]

So I learned that the wizard send the main character 5 years into the future when the dragon came? Is that true?

If so then before the game shutdown that 5 years didn't happened and you actually get to play in the time period when the wizard was still alive?

[night oxide]

gotcha

[modest igloo]

and you'll get there

[inland fox]

thank you

[modest igloo]

not a wizard, the old leader of the scions

[leaden ginkgo]

just did my first dungeon, and for the loot I saw that I had to click Need, Greed or Pass. How does this work?

[modest igloo]

and grandpa of alphauid

the game wasn't down for 5 years

just a few months

but yes those events occurd in the 1.0 version of the game

before a realm reborm

[tight spoke]

Later ShB screenshot needed for question.

Any way to get rid of the black bars? the cutscenes arent pre rendered so I dont know why it cuts off the surroundings. game runs fine in ultrawide

[bright quartz]

ive just done the last rogue quest is it not meant to prompt me to become a ninja?

[modest igloo]

check your MSQ tracker on the top left

[bright quartz]

currently have "a hero in the making" MSQ

[vagrant crescent]

No

I know it didn't got shut down for that long. I meant before the game shut down he teleported you away somewhere, right? I meant he teleported you to 5 years into the future, didn't meant the game shut down for 5 years.

[modest igloo]

yeah, and other characters lost thier memory of you during that time

they get it back tho

[boreal storm]

If you’re a 1.0 player

[vagrant crescent]

The question I wanted to ask is before the game shut down you get to live in a world before that 5 years than? If so then he was alive too? Or am I wrong?

[modest igloo]

yep

[vagrant crescent]

AWESOME, lol XD

[modest igloo]

he was a huge character in 1.0 MSQ

[vagrant crescent]

I see :D

!faq mount

[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.

[vagrant crescent]

Awesome, lol XD

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

!faq grandcompany

[zinc orbit]

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:

Grand Company Gear

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.

so ive been leveling bard for a while, and so far the only thing thats a problem for me is Mage's Ballad (the one that resets bloodletter), is there any way to give it a sound or some kind of audio thing when it procs? right now i have to carefully watch the song bar/CD for bloodletter so im ready to use it and its a bit annoying

[bright quartz]

ah i just winged immortal flames

i presume it would be wise to make uldah my home point now?

[robust crow]

nope, it is what it is

the song bar kinda "pulses" when it resets bloodletter though iirc

[inland fox]

I swear I lniked up to alchemyst guild teleport and some others, but in my main list when I tap 'teleport' it only shows my old 3 teleporst

[dreamy fjord]

serious question, are there any blue quests that are not worth to unlock?

[boreal storm]

Leves if you don’t care, classes if you don’t care

[faint flare]

Well leves are good to unlock for crafters and gathering

[naive fossil]

ahg ye it does, just wish there was an audio thing like both other songs, ty ty

[void vigil]

Why is monk the lowest on class satisfaction charts? Heard they get minimal new skills after level 50 or additions to rotation?

[robust crow]

you just gotta watch bloodletter

it's a pain I know, but at later levels it resets pretty much every time

empyreal arrow also gives it a free reset after a certain level

you learn a trait that improves it

[cursive terrace]

guys

[robust crow]

!action improved empyreal arrow

[zinc orbit]

[inland fox]

does tihs game get better after lvl 50?

[vagrant crescent]

Is there a timeskip between expansion to expansion? Cause I noticed in one of the expansion trailer he talked about how long its been so I thought maybe his the same guy as the first expansion trailer which would make him alot older now. So that made me curious

[faint flare]

Not really

Time barely parses

[cursive terrace]

wym the difference?

doesn't it stack?

[vagrant crescent]

Well ok, lol XD

[faint flare]

The difference between entry and standard

Since you're upgrading

[cursive terrace]

oooh it only upgrades

i thought it'd add another month

what if i have less than a month left tho

let's say 2 weeks

of entry sub

[vagrant crescent]

Guess the guy we see in shadowbringer and the first expansion trailer is 2 different person than. Both main character but just different design instead of time passing, lol XD

[naive fossil]

Its pretty much subjective but ye i do believe so, more combat stuff, better less drawn out story, more interesting dungeons etc.

[faint flare]

You still pay the difference

When you upgrade to standard

Regardless how much is left

[robust crow]

whoever told you that is a dipshit

[cursive terrace]

wtf no

[modest igloo]

what server are you on with all these weird players

[robust crow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[void vigil]

hmm id think that would make the satisfaction low

[gentle arrow]

spriggan

[cursive terrace]

that person will never be taken to raids

[modest igloo]

rip

[cursive terrace]

best believe that

[night oxide]

which part of bahamut drops the dreadwyrm set

[gentle arrow]

ok ty was worried I wont find groups

[dreamy fjord]

i just tried to do this by myself

[robust crow]

no, because it's designed to be an easy healer but is still difficult to optimize

[dreamy fjord]

but the quest did not finish, why is that?

it has to be synced?

[cursive terrace]

nope

[naive horizon]

bard has party buffs which are useful for raids

[cursive terrace]

i did it unsynced

[faint flare]

Did you do the extreme version or hard

[void vigil]

How so? Seems like a SCH or AST would be a more fun healer since you have more util? I havent played any tho what do you think

[bright quartz]

so i take it the main quests now i get from the flames

[boreal storm]

No

[dreamy fjord]

was extreme selected, idk i'll do it agian

[robust crow]

fun is subjective

[vagrant crescent]

That's cool. I like how time flows.

Not like Pokemon anime where time is just stopped, but I like the world building alot like where the time moves with you like Jobless and Slime anime. So if that's true than I like that part about FF14, lol XD

[robust crow]

ffxiv is catered toward casuals, so naturally there is going to be a healer that's accessible for casuals

[bright quartz]

where do i go to get the MSQ?

[robust crow]

not that sch or ast are hard to play...

all the healers are easy, it's whatever is most comfortable for everyone

[void vigil]

just wild that WHM is head and shoulders the front runner of all classes in the satisfaction responses

[boreal storm]

Where it says to

[robust crow]

whm fulfills its class fantasy very well

i guess there's that

but anyway why bother with theoreticals like this

just play what you like

who cares what someone else thinks about the class

[crystal zodiac]

is there a way to transfer items/gil between characters on the same account ?

[robust crow]

individual skill is far more important than someone else's opinion

[void vigil]

I dont want to spend the time leveling every job just to test it

[faint flare]

Need a third person to trade and hold items

[robust crow]

watch a video and see how the class plays

you know your own preferences more than some survey

[void vigil]

those numbers are hard to ignore

[robust crow]

do you like straightforward braindead healers? play whm

[void vigil]

No

[robust crow]

do you like being very fast and lots of buttons? play ast

do you like planning ahead for all your heals? play sch

[spark pollen]

where can i sell all this trash

[dreamy fjord]

what would you guys say is the job with the most no gcd spells or the most fast phased rotation?

[midnight spoke]

Not sure if this is the place to ask, I've paid for full game after trialling and I still haven't received my email verification, even though the money is gone. Anyone else had this?

[robust crow]

ninja or machinist presses buttons the fastest

if that's what you're asking

[faint flare]

Bard is high apm

Machinist is fast during hypercharge

[robust crow]

yeah bard is top 4 APM

nin and mch are top 2

[dreamy fjord]

samurai?

[robust crow]

i forgot who 3rd was

[naive fossil]

oh i asked the same question a while ago, dude gave me this https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/287679207432257538/861325279204212777/image0.png?width=891&height=264

[robust crow]

nice, that's current data too since it's e12s p1

on a nearly full uptime fight

[unreal badge]

what's the best way to farm levels of my aetherpool weapon in POTD? early floors or higher?

[dreamy fjord]

tyy

[bright quartz]

ok so i have to show the deed to the quatermaster for the chocobo but when i get there its saying i need seals?

[faint flare]

Do the next story quest

It gives you the seals

[spark pollen]

Guys what should I do with all the low lvl gear I have or where can I sell it

[random girder]

you can dump it or sell it at random npc vendors

[junior walrus]

what does this do

[knotty lily]

Or hang onto it for alt class leveling.
at some point you can also hand in green/blue/pink gear to your Grand Company for seals

[dreamy fjord]

is it worthed to unlock low lvl optional dungeons?

[spark pollen]

oh okay

thanks

[faint flare]

More levelling dungeons and more dungeons for poetics at level caps

[warm snow]

Better gathering for crystals, shards and clusters

[faint flare]

It increases how many shards you get

[tranquil wolf]

okay thanks

[vagrant crescent]

After sub runs out than what happens?

If you were using a expansion race than you'll no longer be able to play as that character, and if you were at level 80 then will you now have the same power of level 60 and is unable to wear gears higher than 60?

[faint flare]

Permanently locked out

Until you resub

[warm snow]

You can't enter the game

The end

[dreamy fjord]

where

are the oranges

[warm snow]

Vendor in the town

[faint flare]

At the nearby merchant

[knotty lily]

Theres a vendor in that area that sells the OJ

[vagrant crescent]

For all of them? So if I leveled up to 61 than I can no longer play even when I'm in a city that's available for free version?

[warm snow]

Like within 20ft

[faint flare]

Regardless where you are or your progress

You can't log in

[warm snow]

You lose your free trial when you buy the game

[knotty lily]

Once you're paid, you're paid. Can't go "back and forth"

[warm snow]

That's how it is for all mmos

[vagrant crescent]

That's awful ;-;

[warm snow]

Only exception would be that ff14s free trial is stupid generous

A friend of mine was lending me his car, but now that I bought it off him I have to pay for gas? That's awful ;-;

[naive kraken]

you can buy the game on a sale ahead of time, just dont input the code until you're ready to start paying

[worn gazelle]

is there a way to make memorizing long rotations easier for a guy who's never done it before?

i'm not an mmorpg noob but i am a raiding noob

[tranquil wolf]

agreed, like 80$ content is available

[faint flare]

Practice

It becomes muscle memory eventually

[robust crow]

hit a target dummy until you can do your rotation 100% correct in your sleep

[naive kraken]

it does? XD

[worn gazelle]

what if i log off for a month and forget the rotation

[faint flare]

Yes

[robust crow]

because if you can't do it on a target dummy

no way you can do it while dodging shit

[vagrant crescent]

The MMO I played wasn't like this? Like Old School Runescape, Wizard101, Dungeon Fighter Online, and other MMO I played, though I never paid for WoW so maybe WoW was like that idk.

[warm snow]

All mmo trials are like that afaik

[vagrant crescent]

I see, lol XD

[leaden ginkgo]

There's a world of difference between how sub mmos work, and ftp. WoW needs a sub, as does FF

[hot shuttle]

For the anima relic quest. After you finish one, do you have to do all the steps for other weapons? Or are some steps omitted

[void vigil]

Is Dancer a healer

[warm snow]

Yes

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

DNC is ranged dps

[warm snow]

No, it's ranged physical dps

[faint flare]

Dancer is a physical range

[warm snow]

Like bard or machinist

[void vigil]

damn all the healing classes in this game look awful to play 😦

maybe the Sage will be good?

[unreal badge]

WHM is my favorite healer

[warm snow]

Have you actually tried them?

[void vigil]

No but i watched vids and read thru a comprehensive survey about each class and peoples responses ranging from the hardcore to the casual player

[vagrant crescent]

At first I liked the free trial more than WoW free version. Cause an entire base game for free? Come on, lol XD

But now I'm not sure cause I cannot even play even if I wanted to if my sub runs like. Not everyone can keep paying for expansive sub afterall. Surprised it still got amazing reviews despite the amount we have to pay, I know the content of it is very good but still. Oh well, lol XD

[naive kraken]

WHM is usually a good start

[warm snow]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

[vagrant crescent]

I know what the price is, lol XD

[crude nacelle]

what's the blu spell to attack low level enemies without killing them?

[leaden ginkgo]

It got amazing reviews because of the game itself. Most of us don't have an issue paying for a sub

[knotty lily]

I've seen word of people playing the Free Trial alone for almost a full year, and havent done everything they want to do. But it is indeed base game + HW only

[fallen oxide]

go play a game where you pay to level up if you dont want a sub based game lol

[vagrant crescent]

So wait. 30 days free trial was literary a trial than? So after 30 days I can no longer play the game?

[sage mirage]

Free trial minmaxers have motives beyond our understanding

[faint flare]

No, the 30days is the first free month sub

The trial is unlimited

[fallen oxide]

if you buy the game and play it that way your not doing the free trial i think lol

[upper glen]

Dumb question, I recently came back after like 2 years and never done this, how do I open the wondrous journal?

[vagrant crescent]

I see. It's the same thing as free than, only difference is that you can no longer go back after you pay. Wished they say free than and calling it a trial is a bit confusing too. Lol XD

[crystal bluff]

@upper glen the last tab in your inventory

The special tab with the aether current compass

[upper glen]

aww ok

dam i requested a new journal becuz i didnt know what i was doing

i probably had this all filled lol

[faint flare]

It would be expired

[upper glen]

ahhh okay

[faint flare]

If it's one you had from 2 years ago

They expire in 2 weeks

[upper glen]

ohh okay

[shrewd laurel]

Heya, im currently getting back into the game, and have pretty much just started heavensward but wanna do the coils of bahamut raids and min item synced no echo extreme trials so i complete everything before moving on. Anyone know the best ways to find a group for these activities? Should i just look for a free company to join that would be willing to help me with this? 🙂 All help appreciated

[noble pollen]

How to get the gobwalker mount

[faint flare]

Set up party finder or find thr synced discord for your data centre. #resources has a few

[knotty lily]

This one? Alexander 4 Savage

[shrewd laurel]

Right thank you, seems like the server a play on is predominantly french, might be difficult. Thanks anyway

[faint flare]

You play with everyone on your data centre

Not just server

[ashen valve]

I got up to operation Archon in ARR, but I'm at level 47. For the last three levels what will be the best way for me to push to 50?

in order to finish the main storyline.

[faint flare]

Daily levelling roulette then spam highest level dungeon (aurum vale)

[ashen valve]

thank you!

[naive kraken]

you can try both but it's hard to get old savage done unless it's one that unlocks an ultimate or an unsync for a mount

[obsidian patio]

You can’t unsync current expansion content

[naive kraken]

cant unsync current level

[upper nymph]

Hello all 🙂 Does anyone know exactly what Growth Formulas do and how to use them? I can't seem to find any information from googling 🤔

[faint flare]

Crafting mat

[obsidian patio]

Crafting material

[simple pine]

is there an up to date desynth leveling guide?

[upper nymph]

So are they not used when growing seeds?

[obsidian patio]

No

[obsidian patio]

The general approach to leveling desynthesis is either to spam dungeons or to browse through your crafting log and use easy-to-make (and cheap) high level items.
The items below are generally effective until you're about 20 desynthsis levels above their desynth level

CRP : Larch Ring > White Oak Ring > Lignum Vitae Ring
BSM : High Steel Claw Hammer > Deepgold Pliers > Dwarven Mythril Sledgehammer
ARM : High Steel Bomb Fry Pan > Deepgold Kite Shield > Dwarven Mythril Alembic
GSM : Islewolf Rings > Dwarven Mythril Ring
LTW : Gaganaskin Belts > Smilodonskin Ring > Swallowskin Tool/Surv belt
WVR : Ruby Cotton Apron > Pixie Cotton Sash > Dwarven Cotton Bandana
ALC : Gyuki Leather Grimoire/Codex > Dishware (under housing 2)
CUL : Refer to > https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Seafood and just do whichever fish are cheap on the market board

After this, you can use any master craft towards (like Facet combat items, Neo-ishgardian gear pieces and Dungeon Gear from Anamnesis Anyder and Hero's Gauntlet) to progress for all crafters except Cul

Ensure you keep Bacon Broth + Tinker's Calm up during desynthing

[upper nymph]

bah, I have been misled xD

[late hinge]

What you need to grow seeds are topsoils

[finite lion]

Any suggestions on a good healthy pop server? Preferably one that doesn't include Asmon (no hate I just do not want to be on his server) Left 3 years ago was on Zalera but reading the server kinda gone down hill since I last played. Will eventually want to do raids and such but mostly just want to have fun and not have a server that's dead or feels dead.

[upper nymph]

yeah I know how to grow them in general, it's just that I found something called 'growth formulas' sitting in my inventory and thought i'd found a wonderful gardening cheat 🤣

thanks for the info!

[ashen barn]

can u switch between different worlds with same character?

[faint flare]

All of them

[faint flare]

You can world visit

[late hinge]

Yes, go to an aetheryte in one of the first three major cities and select the world travel option

[ashen barn]

like if the server is full

[faint flare]

!faq worldvisit

[zinc orbit]

World Visit System

The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.

More information

[ashen barn]

alright thanks for the info

[knotty lily]

Seconding - literally any. All servers are full pop right now because of the WoW exodus, so all are equal.

[late hinge]

Soon you'll be able to travel between data centers as well, as long as they're in the same region

[ashen wolf]

Anyone know if there is a way to disable the coordinates shown below the minimap in the UI?

[bright quartz]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[simple pine]

perfect thanks

[late hinge]

I don't think it's possible to disable coords, sadly

[ashen wolf]

oh well, thanks!

[finite lion]

Ty for a bit more info on it. Worst case I can swap later once it calms down and the likes.

[heady pelican]

Where do I put a recruit-a-friend code? I'm on free trial

[knotty lily]

Server transfer does cost, but honestly what server youre on means less and less these days. Just relevant for your free company (guild) and some chat channels, you can World Visit any other server in your cluster/data center (and soon other centres as well)

[faint flare]

On the mogstation after buying the game

[simple zephyr]

how do I get the brand cuirass?

[heady pelican]

The website says that I have to do it before my subscription though

[faint flare]

Yes

After buying the game

And before buying the first month sub

They're different things

[heady pelican]

But I get the first month sub immediately after registering the game

[late hinge]

The Brand-new Cuirass? You've got to do Hall of the Novice as a tank https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Hall_of_the_Novice

[twilit arch]

you get 30 days free

[faint flare]

The free time doesn't count

[twilit arch]

those free days do not count as buying a sub

[heady pelican]

ugh ok, thanks

Is "New Adventurers" the sprout thing?

[open coral]

Yes

[heady pelican]

When do you lose that?

[next pendant]

I'm worried I'm missing something with job quests. I have not unlocked the last chapter of paladin in new game+. Is that intentional or did I miss something?

[open coral]

168 hours /playtime + finish the for Stormblood

[next pendant]

Nvm I found it

Just gotta find it, not a blue quest marker

[ocean axle]

what does role waiting list mean?

[neat aurora]

I'm doing the MSQ right now, and it has me going to Thornmarch (hard) At level 51, should I just buy the item level req (54) or just do more quests?

[open coral]

It means that you're the 23rd tank in the queue for leveling dungeons.

[ocean axle]

ahh okay, thanks

[inland pasture]

Is this this week or last week?

[twilit arch]

last week's

judging hasnt started for this week

[open coral]

You can purchase i130 gear from the vendors in Mor Dhona or near the main aetherytes in the three main cities using Tomestones of Poetics (currency).

That should up your ilevel enough.

[inland pasture]

When does it start?

[twilit arch]

friday

[neat aurora]

Thank you! I'll check this out right now.

[inland pasture]
