right, thanks a lot!
How hard is it to reach the top 100 in The Feast?
Depends how popular pvp is on your server
DC specific or world specific?
I just gathered something called a collectable from a tree node, what do I do with it?
become a slave to rowena turn those in for scrips
who accepts them?
the npc are in any big cities
i just saw people have hotbar like this on video how to hide the rest?
called “scrip exchange”, usually at the market
ah cool ty
!mount
it’s !faq mount
!faq mount
'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.

where is grand company quartermaster
where can i search for people locations
like wowhead
I have malleable material and printing paraphernalia, can't trade them and scrip exchange doesnt want them so I might as well trash them?
have you joined a grand company yet
Those are for custom deliveries, might as well ditch
i chose flame quarter
alrighty tyvm1
i remember
then the flame quartermaster is in ul'dah, at the flame's HQ
its near the main aetheryte
he sell license for mount ye?
yes
tyy boss
Is there a diff between an apartment and a house? I know there are houseing complexs where it's super hard to get one(a house).
after eden raid i get those armor pieces that can't be equip.. what are they for? i have alot and its taking up inventory
whats the peak hour for NA DC?
so they've got more room than apartments
is it bigger then a inn room?
my last alliance duty took 1.5 hours in the queue
technically but realistically nno
there's waaayy more apartments than there are houses
so its like nigh impossible for them to be all sold out
and there aren't like rooms and stuff right?
So u can have multiple accounts in a mogstation account??
no, just a single room
Oh
you can have several service accounts under on mogstation account yes
and can those different accounts have different licences?
when you buy a house is it possible to put a summoning bell for retainers there and a crystal for teleporting to it?
yes, but why would you.
yes
Yes. you can have one service account that's Steam and one that's not
but they're effectively two different accounts
because i have made like 3 different square enix accounts to get this game to work
did it work?
Sorry for asking but I couldn't find an answer anywhere, what makes the Aesthete gear better than the Landsaint/Handsaint gear?
The latter has higher base stats
overmelding it
Melding
idk i made a new account so i can play the steam version but i cant seem to get it to work
Does it have more melding slots?
you can put 5 materia on the aesthete whereas hand/landsaint can't be melded
free trial or did you buy it?
Scrip gear has zero melding slots
OH
which means aesthete will have more stats in the end
That explains a lot hah, cheers
no i bought the game on steam @alpine shadow
did you apply the codes to your mogstation acct
i think the account for the mogstation had the windows version for the trail so im not sure
that is fine
you can go from SE trial to steam full game
i tried choosing the steam version where it says to upgrade top full game but steam is grayed out and wont let me choose it
you just use the "enter code" option
black mage in thanlan right?
is there a key to quickly interact with something infront of me? for example the teleporters in main scenario hour long mission that have a pop up confirmation?
because you're entering a code
yes, can unlock the base class for blm (thaumaturge) i n uldah
0 on the keypad
is there a sizable DRG community discord for specific questions?
or do people tend to just bring any questions here?
Here, or the balance for in-depth optimisation
the balance discord has channels for each individual class
you can ask here, or if you need more indepth answers can ask on the balance discord since that is the main end-game discord
ohh i click enter registration code
Got a link? Feel free to DM me it if you're not allowed to post links here.
!faq balance
!faq Balance
you can fly in ARR areas, but you cannot fly in expansion areas before capturing wind things
All mounts can fly
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
hi guys, any point of buying expansions before I actually hit lvl 50+?
Not really
thank you
before i put the code doest it matter which one i put first or can i put another after?
you have to put the one called "Starter Edition"
You could take your time and wait it out for endwalker so you don't need to buy shadowbringers
Depends how soon you want to play Samurai or endwalker
so what do i do with the one that says shawdobringers?
You can play free that way also
I wanna black the redmage, but after I hit lvl 50 with the tank and finish main storyline I guess
redeem it after, should be a big red button in "My Account" after you had added starter edition
ok wish me luck
whats the best way for somebody almost hitting 80 on their first combat class to find a free company of chill dudes to hang with?
Imo focus one class first to get through as much os the msq as possible, it makes catching up easier and also you get access to more means of getting exp.
!faq communityfinder
tyvm
it takes a bit of trial and error to find the best fc for you
I've just switched from pugilist to rogue, but now I'm too low level to do the main quest line. Is there any easy way to catch up, or is it just to do regular quests?
there are also recruitment channels on here you can look at
so keep searching even if it dont work out :D
my world is twintania but it's part of the "light" server so I can join any FC based on any Light world?
do your hunting logs, you also gain an armory exp bonus until your rogue catches up to monk
Does anyone know how to get the charmed emote? I don't see it in the dreamstaff exchange shop...?
Any based on Twintania.
ah okay
whats your rank with them??
you need to be rank 5 to see it
I've seen a couple of mega big guilds on my server, is there a good reason to join or avoid those?
Imo join one for the time being
ah okay, i need to imprve my standing. thanks!
You get passive benefits
Um... I think I'm doing my main quest wrong?
You can leave when you want and join another
I'm supposed to be able to do each quest as they come, but somehow I'm too low level for the next main quest.
What's a good way to make XP?
Hunting log, highest level dungeon
Duty Finder, huh? That's never fun.
Highest level dungeon gives a good amount of exp for mob kills
ive only hit lacking exp at the first level 50, short of a few FATEs, and doing duty roulette every day
Do i just kill the mobs in the hunting log, or do i have to pick up the "quests"? and thx 🙂
just open the hunting log and kill the monsters listed on there
it gives you a decent chunk of exp
allright, thanks!
H to open it
i missed my wedding lsat week and rescheduled for next week, am i supposed to get a new blank invitation or will the old one work?
Dungeons are definitely faster if you need a lot of exp
i heard that after shadowbringer, melee dps doesnt need to have correct positioning to do optimal damage. Is this true?
that is not true at all
Thank you @twilit arch @alpine shadow i don't think i would of ever been able to figure it out and i get to keep my character and dont have to start over really appreciate it
I hope not
you have a skill to help deal with positionals easier
I picked Dragoon for a reason
but you still very much have to do positionals
true north isn't always going to be up
positionals is part of melee though :<
unless you get past lvl 62 on Sam then there would be no more positionals
is there any good guide for these that still applicable to the newest patch?
question, can I post a gmg (key reseller link) to ask if it's the right EW to buy?
for jobs?
wesk alber has good levelling guides that im sure still apply
yes, specifically nin or drg
gmg is ok
here's his channel
yes that is the key for endwalker
well, it is only for the pre-order
you don't actually get the expansions till release, you would then need shadowbringers first if you want it now
yeah, I already possess everything else
well, then you go ahead and pre-order if you want it.
I just want to pre purchase for the earring / people told me EW won't go on sale for a few months
not sure what they meant by that
endwalker has been on pre-order for a long time now
but for example in square enix store, you don't pay until near release when you pre-order
Hi guys = would you say Lich is the most newb server in EU atm? I'm trying to find one where people will be using duty finder at my level. Can't progress questline without it
Shouldn't matter in Duty Finder, since it is cross-world
ahhh thank you
Oh, I just asked how much time it would take for EW to go on sale after release, and they replied to me with "a few months at least, until the bigger sales"
Duty finder is shared between all worlds in a datacenter
ah, you mean as in that, yeah that might be a few months
I personally don’t expect Endwalker to go on Sale until like 6.1x or 6.2 at minimum
yeah, so might as well buy the game now and be done with it
Can I do other stuff while in the duty finder queue? OR should I just stand still here?
you can do other stuff
thank you
but you can't queue onto other stuff while queuing

just so you know, Chaos - Louisoix is Preferred and Open if you are making a new character.
Inb4 there's no preferred servers in 5.58 lol
damn too late im on light lich 😦
rip
is that really bad?
nah, but you do get extra stuffsnbuffs
wish the game told you
is there an xp boost on preferred worlds after hitting level 60?
when you make a character. lich was first on the list.
Just don't go to limsa in the morning
yeah, it did tell you, if you chose the correct datacenter.
light just didn't have any
😦
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
https://gyazo.com/45e0c51cfc00f4a76a429afb9d8e9148 does that 602k xp drop once or twice?
what are the armor pieces for after eden raid? the ones you cant wear
Does anybody know where to find a "Moondrip Piledriver" in Western Thanalan? The vague area description I'm given is not enough
is that a hunt mark?
is shire gear tradable
Yeah
no
once
ty
its just two system messages for the same thing
yeah was confused which one it was
oh no, i meant this
ah, the exchange is in eulmore
anyone know what sort of score a 6800XT should be getting at 1440p maximum? i have a feeling my processor is showing its single threaded potato
where can I find the benchmark tool?
where can you get the dreadwyrm gear that's in the benchmark creator?
Hi everyone, happy to be part of this discord ! I joined here before being able to play the game because I have had a lot of errors and the customer service have been of no help to me yet 😦
Maybe someone is familiar with this, I bought FFXIV on steam and could not install the basic launcher, had to do a lot of things to make it work : change DNS address, reboot to safe mode, change IE settings, run as admin and it finally went through.
Now I came up with another error which can be seen in attachment. I have given admin rights to all users there as well as disabled antivirus, firewall and added that whole folder to exceptions for them just in case... Tried running as admin too but nothing cuts it.
I am stuck and have been troubleshooting the game installation and patching for days, I've heard it's a common problem - not sure if that makes it better or worse 😄
The last tier of the binding coil of bahamut, AKA the final coil of bahamut.
You can also buy dyeable crafted versions off the marketboard
do you get something for finding all the lost actions in Bozja?
Just an achievement
are precision gordian items gotten from the chest or automatically after clearing
automatically after clearing
hmm I'm a lvl 20 GLA but I can't see 'my little chocobo' quest in the gladiators guild. a guide said that's where its supposed to be? any ideas?
my little chocobo isn't at the gladiator's guild, it'll be at your grand company headquarters
Which requires you to join a grand company, and that's at lvl 20 in the main scenario quest
ah sorry throught gladiator is my grand company
not your character's level
hmmm
if you're a new account, you can play for free until 60 right? what about returning players? i know we get 14 days but what happens after? i've only bought heavensword
if you've bought the game, after the 14 days are up you have to sub
Hello I downloaded the client again on Steam after a while away. My sub ended April 12, 2018 it says paid options are inactive but I can't seem to get the free 14 day login working. I played up till the end of HS
the free trial is just that, a free trial
thx for the response, that kinda sucks
What're the mechanics for retainers and bringing back dyes from ventures?
rng
how do i summon my chocobo?
i have acquired and activated the "whistle?" or whatever its called, i just dont know how to summon it now
!faq retainerbp
having them at 428 ilvl helps but ultimately its RNG
open your mount guide
how?
I have still never gotten one...
either /mountguide or click on the character menu and select ir from there
that's not surprising
quick ventures are hella RNG
I have one retainer at level 74 and the other at 53
because the pool of items is quite big
i seee ty
how do i fly with the chocobo? i heard all mounts could fly is there any button?
you have to finish base game msq to be able to fly in base game zones
lvl 50
level 50 or level 50 quest?
it's there anything i can do with the black moogle tomestone currency of a month old event?
Moogle tomes of pageantry can no longer be used. Best to discard them.
wow i wonder why they didn't give us a chance to use them later on like some other events
guess i'll discard
They were for fan fest and it ran slightly longer than previous versions of the moogle tome events.
what do I do when I hit lvl 80?
Why are they removing belts in Endwalker?
I haven't done MSQ, is it worth just changing class so while I'm doing MSQ I still get XP?
if you are overlevelled, yea
but only if you have another job close in levels
i wouldnt level one from the bottom just to take advantage of the exp
oh right I'm just starting shadowbringers so I'd need to be level 70?
The reasons given were they were not visible pieces of equipment, the stat weights were small, and they were only taking up space at this point. So they felt it best to simply remove them.
stat squish + belts arent visible
70 for shadowbringers yes
Ahh yeah that makes perfect sense
when can I buy a house in the firmament?
when you win the housing lottery 👀
yknow it sounds rather dystopian
winnign housing lotteries and stuff'
how do i unlock a gears appearance for when i need to use it as glamour
you mean glamour dispeller?
no
is glamour the same as wow ? when when u wear it once, it becomes unlocked and transmogable
well everything is unlocked and transmogable, so long as u own it i mean..
No, you need to put it in your glamour dresser and then a glamour plate, or physically have it on you
In your inventory, that is
anyways, unlock glamour/transmog from the RGB colored npc in vesper bay
i guess tahts the first step
so if i have a weapon that i like its appearance and sell it without unlocking it for glamour (via glamour dresser as u said ) i wont be able to glamour it >?
Correct
you need to have it to transmog it
ik that
Everyone wishes it wasn't like that, but it is how it is

Hello. Who can help in solving problems with the launcher?
is there a way to disable the change hotbar button from changing just by tapping it?
"unable to complete version check (30410)(30607)(20457)(404) "
!faq launcher
!faq quicklauncher
It's old timey English for a polite request
Thank you. I'll make it up
np sorry if it dont work
Glamour dresser has limited slots so being a completionist hoarder won't work
good think i only intend to make 2 or 3 sets

Unless you hoard on retainers
Youd need hundreds of retainers to hold every piece of gear in the game
or just discard all accessories like me cause i never notice those on myself or anyone
It's probably asked a million times a day, and there's likely hundreds of videos on this topic. But as a new player, I wanted the communities' opinion on what the best classes (jobs) were for a new player to FF. I have experience in multiple other MMOs, I'm interested in melee and like the sound of Ninja, but open to my opinions being changed.
!faq meta
is gunbreaker melee ?
it’s a tank
oh nice !
do any jobs start at level 70?
reaper and sage i think in endwalker ?
what level does ninja start as
Is it worth going for the feast top 100? Like for casual players is it even remotely possible
starts at lv1 as ROGUE; then becomes NIN at lv30
is ninja fun?
Fun is subjective. But yes I find ninja fun
there should be a !faq fun
If you like invoker from Dota or want to feel like a naruto character even more so
Although the invoker part is simplified
MNK is also naruto-y with their chakkra :3
very different type of chakra
Kind of a silly question but would anyone happen to know of a pet I could buy off the market that isn't too expensive and sits on your shoulder?
My friend was freakin' out over em early and I wanna surprise them : D
my personal fave is the Koala
I was gunna get the Koala but it's like 500k
Wind up nanamo with achievement points
Or post ARR msq gives you one too
Iirc succubus with allied seals. Cloud of darkness from crystal tower raids do too
there’s the Ferret too
/beckon
I just hit 80 DRK, my plan is to buy a good lvl 80 set from MB then sell all my DRK low lvl items and start a new job to finish msq, is this the best idea?
But it depends on their temperment
It worked!
do different mounts have different speeds?
only 1 mount is naturally faster than others iirc
otherwise they are all the same
and flying speed is all the same too
faster in the beginning only, after some MSQ they all become the same
smth special about those three?
Pick whatever you like best
!faq grandcompany
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:
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.
only good looking set, which one is it? 😄
Thats Flames
Why is this in JP? 
I set this above my crossbar, just want to remove the numbers/lettering
its Hotbar 3
Am I supposed to use soperbolide the same way paladin's can use hallowed ground when pulling for the mobs in the dungeon?
will the firmament quests stop when the housing is available there
I think for GNB its more of a panic button, bc it will give ur healer a heart attack
Yes you should use superbolide as a cooldown during a big pull in dungeons
Not a panic button
Though it may indeed give your healer a heart attack if they’re not experienced with it
But don’t let that dissuade you from using it
well of course I think i should wait for my hp to be below 30% hp before using it so that I don't give them a big heart attack right?
Mm that is a little more optimal but that may tempt your healer to use a cooldown to heal you
it seems like an easy prompt, just can not find it in any menu
very poor aesthetic
Which you then immediately waste by popping superbolide lol
Like the cursed benediction into superbolide combo that gets memed about
oh you're right. the healer might pop an ED or benediction on me
im gonna pop it using my best judgement then 🙂
tfw you dont let the tank go below 50% 
so I got into sam a while ago, but never actually played it, and might have sold the starting gear, where can I buy a level 50 katana?
ironworks
wait which one are flames 😄
what's ironworks
I've been thinking about doing every relic weapon at some point, can they be stored in the armoire?
poetic gear?
you can only disable keybind showing on all hotbars, you sure you wanna do that? :o
the middle one, from uldah
600
i dont recall but you can do a couple lv50 dungeons to get some
I mean you can buy one off the marketboard if you really want
they're hella expensive
But yeah just. Get the poetics.
or just mb for a not as good but probably functioning lv50 blade
like min 50k
That’s about what I’d expect yeah

or the twelves forbid but vendor gears
I mean all items go up that high if you scroll down tbh
yeah where can I get vendor gear
I just need a katana so I can start doing dungeons with it
I know it sucks but I dont have poetics rn
Just get the poetics
stick with the weapon the initial quest gives you and buy the poetic weapon when you have enough
battlecraft trader in any big city if you resort to that
that's the problem I got rid of it months ago
no
beg for one in chat 
just do Praetorium a few times and you'll have the tomes for a new sword. 🤷
uh oh
aaaaaa I fked up
Anyone want to send me the returning player invite? I think we both get rewards out of it.
yeah i have everything
Only the Ishgard vendor will have it
Do i buy both dlc's or do i just have to preorder the new one? if i wan't to start playing the game
When you say start playing the game...
Are you already playing the free trial?
!faq freetrial
yeah no i haven't bought the game yet
play free to level 60, after that buy the 'complete edition' meaning the base game + shadowbringers
What happens if i don't do that?
Is it good to buy the full game at the start?
It has no time limit
What benefits do i get from doing that
??????
it's heavily recommended to play free
!faq freetrial
I want to play with my friend
This has all the limitation details
You can do that on the free trial with limitations
playing together with your friend is pretty much impossible anyway, the story portion of the game is hard to do coop
If you really don’t want the trial limitations you can buy either Starter Edition or Complete Edition
you cant make a party in free trial right?
That means you will be paying monthly sub though
No but you can be invited to a party
dont even know how fast you will complete the base game anyway so might as well play on the free trial and see if you want to preorder or not
What if i buy a level up thing xd
If you want to play now then preordering Endwalker will not help you.
you can, but you pay to not play the game
which makes no sense
the story is amazing and heavily recommend to play through it.
its entirely up to you, really
but you just wont be able to level that class past 60
or whichever level you boost it to thats over lvl 60
Skips aren’t generally recommended for new players, but if you really want to skip the story then you’re able to. However, in that case you’d be recommended to buy both the level skip and the story skip—buying one without the other is very unhelpful.
Also you can’t buy skips when you’re on the free trial.
I feel like my zadnor instances are always empty, is that normal? I just tried to leave and rejoin and I'm in the same empty instance again
okay
so i'm going to play the free trial
Do i buy the game now or is there a different way to do it
Zadnor’s been very active lately in my experience
What
Lasse
maybe its just the time of ay
In not sure you’re understanding what “free trial” means 
*day
It’s a free trial
yea i don't either apparently
or its a fresh instance
Try out the game for free
you download the trial and play it
If you want it on steam sure
can i still get my character on steam?
Yes
if i played free trial
How long does the 🌱 last?
You can also play the free trial through steam
Until you’ve reached 168 hours playtime AND reached the beginning of Shadowbringers MSQ
Go to the store page and download the “demo”

thanks :D
Hello, I entered the triple tournament thingy without realizing there was a time limit. Anyway. I battled the elf dude X amount of times. Then I decided to take a break to see if I got the amount of points necessary to get platinum cards. But now no one of the npcs wants to do battle with me anymore.
Though before I quit, I did get the option to do another round for 69 tournament points.
Have I reached the 20 battles then, seeing as none of them wants to do battle with me anymore?
Also, where can I view my own score. Not the top 10. Just want to know how I did. I won every match aside from one where I got a draw.
should be in one of the tabs in the character > gold saucer menu
npc matches give like barely any points though
What is a registration code?
is there a place I can store Dyes that I can use them from in glamours?
I just downloaded the free trial and i need a registration code
if you downloaded from steam, sometimes the client can be a bit finicky
just close it and relaunch
okay
You know what
Im sorry
Im stupid
I forgot that it was under triple triad match when you select it. Not before you select it. 
Thank you all

sooo umm whats the percentage drop for the one-time step in resistance weapon (haunting memories and vexatious
in fates
Anyone know how to finish the autocomplete suggestions in text chat when using JP?
hey so I had a question: are sidequests for when you level a second job? like if I choose to reroll will there be no main story quests?
okay wtf
now when i hold shift while making my account steam's "Shift + Tab" thing show up and i lag like crazy
you could if you want to, but there are more effective ways to level up
on the launcher? yeah that is buggy
tab?
i'm just downloading the non steam version
Sidequests are not really that good for XP in this. Side jobs are more like "another main" job in this tbh, since changing between them is seemless. The way people level other jobs are for the most part through the daily leveling quests, some of the beast tribes and through the use of "Deep Dungeon"
What attributes should I focus on the relic weapon for white mage?
why would I not want to sell an item with 100% spiritbond?
Nope, just retainers, nothing special i am afraid
crit > det > sps
Crit det, then any tbh
Piety if uncomfortable with mana, but that's unlikely on white mage
you can right click the spirit bound item to create a materia , it resets the spirit bond to 0 but spirit bond only exists to create materia
always best to empty them before you sell them
where do i trade totems for memoria?
mor dhona
Didn't work. nothing seems to work so restarting game
really weird. something to do with changing languages on my keyboard I think
how do i get those currency to buy the chocobo card to get the chocobo?
just reached the quest, im 28
Do we still need shields for e4s?
Yes
ty
OH, dang, thanks @twilit arch ! should start reading the quests HAHA
The tumult from titan maximum can still wipe a bis parry with no mitigation
@lilac tide is your language in-game set to JP? and writing the text in JP.
Is there a difference in reward for playing content on minimum iLevel?
No
Would this apply to materia aswell?
Is it possible to wear/glamour the grand company fending set on a melee DPS role job?
nope unless the glamour specifies its for all classes
for materia crit > dh|det
hello i got carried away playing side contents, now im lvl30 with msq at lvl15, i wonder where can i get lvl 30 gears?
i only know msq as my source of gear
Job quests will give gear til 30
Msq will keep giving gear
Dungeons drop gear
If you're desperate vendors in cities and settlements sell gear
I personally have been leveling other jobs whenever my main job's level outlevels the MSQ level, to catch up
thank you, i think ill try arcanist
can i change the chocobo name after?
is it worth extrating materia from all my low level items before I vendor them?
yes
can either talk to the chocobo keep in the major cities to do so or if you have a stable can rename it there
if you have it at 100% spiritbond no harm in extracting as some of the lower materia can sell somewhat decently. otherwise just go ahead and vendor
is there a disadvantage to extracting from gear I currently use?
nope
or should you always extract once items hit 100% so they can hit it again
can think of extracting as like a free bonus
that said tho if you're on trial, may not want to bother with it
as it'll just fill up your inventory
okie
can male vieras wear hat
they will most likely be like female viera
nooo
in that only some will be visible, others will not
can they wear the element+1 fending/maiming head gear
glamour prisms, ventures for retainers etc
anyone wanna help me get my blue mage from 34-70?
no, they don't show @vital ruin
ventures are a good sink for seals
You should prioritize promotions @dreamy fjord
i don't know what that means, i'm a begginer, if you don't mind explaining maybe? where could i buy glamour prisms with those
the grand company is that place where i had to pick from red yellow and something else?
Yes
aaanyone knows where the yellow team's HQ are ? XD
Gridania, slightly northwest of the aetheryte
cheers
Guys
Bought my first Choco o with the seal from grand company. Named it. Got the summoning spell
When I click on it even. Outside of a city it says cannot execute at this time
What is wrong?
You need to buy gysahl greens
No not for fighting. For mountain
is there a way to auto-sort your bags?
Right click and sort
You're summoning it from the mount guide, yes?
Humn. No companion guide
That's for fighting
Mount guide is greyed out
did you use the whistle
Then your mount guide opens
it says new characters can't be made on this world at this time
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
damn
So I'm having trouble recovering my account (sent them the necessary things to get my stuff changed) but it's taking too long
But i bought the game on steam
tyvm!
Can i still use my steam license to play with another square enix account?,
Is using a DPS meter overlay against TOS?
It is, but they have no way of tracking it, so unless you talk about it in game no one can report you for it
Bet. They just don't want people to have dick measuring contests over it eh?
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

Sweet. I don't want to use it to compare anyone, I just want to see the numbers for myself.
It's all run by the same guy who does wowlogs
Yea this was the biggest annoyance when i was playing back in the day. Just be sure that the people you are talking to about it aren't stuck up trash
That's totally fine, won't get into any trouble as it is not tracable as someone mentioned
Sweet. Thanks!
The setup can be a bit convoluted if you are used to WoW oneclick addons, but theres youtube guides if needed
what patch did rowena reps get added to capitals?
So anyone on this?
You can only play with an account that has the steam license on it
So they are linked?
5.3 @neat umbra
If you try to login with the steam client to a standalone account it will say you don't have the required license
Damnit
I just wish the square enix account management wouldn't feel like something from the 2005's
Who actually gives their real birthday and name to a company
And they expect me to use that as a recovery
Guys... i've been through all but can't find the place where to buy glamour prisms, any thoughts? #yellowteam
Serpent quartermaster
you need to be a certain rank first to buy glam prisms from them
you should prioritize using your seals on promotions though
^
talk the to personnel officer
So i the live chat just not available? Been trying to get through to them but i can't
What is the key to use limit break?
I have a problem
I keep mashing some combination of keys to pull up an in-game snipping tool
Or something of the likes
While I'm doing my rotation
need to pull the action from your actions and traits menu. should be in the general section of it
Now I assume it's some keybind but I can't find it
how do i check if my account is NA or EU?
ohh i found it in mogstation, then account info

Got it thanks
for Bitter Memory of the Dying, I can do the leveling roulette/dungeons on whatever job I like right? or must I do it on the job I'm building the relic for?
excellent, many thanks
To get stuff
the difference between Yell and Shout?
is the bunny girl race, Viera?
yes
sad, cant have bunny girl with free trial i guess
Yell is a larger range say, shout is zone wide
Yes
Ok thankyou
iirc you do get a fantasia for story completion at one point. So if you decide to pick up the game, you could always use that to change to a viera
There is absolutely no way for me to bind 1 key to a stance change is there? So like I just have that 1 key to cycle through my stances, playing astroligian so it would be so handy if I could just assign say tilde without a second key to just swap me through them
No
Second key isnt the end of the world but just thought id ask :P
Anyone having issues with elemental data cluster?
Trying to log in and it's giving me Unable to locate character config data.
What’s the fastest dungeon for the last relic step of SHB?
Can you glamour different weapon types?
Rip
Do we know what weapons Sage will use? The one thing I don't like much about Summoner/Scholar so far is the weapons they use
if i wanna relearn the story, would i rather do new game+ or just rewatch cutscenes?
Looks better than a book
well going thru ng+ means you also get to read thru the dialogues that aren't in the major cutscenes as unending journey doesn't have everything
how much would i miss?
the thing is tho that you're essentially replaying thru the story again, just you'll have teleport locations unlocked and flying (assuming completed ARR/unlocked them in expanc zones)
you'd still be able to get the general gist of things if you just watched thru the unending journey
there is also a google doc that's pinned in #archived-lore-spoilers that recaps the story
if you wanna read that
oh dear god how big is that
it overs up to shadowbringers, so pretty chunky
is unending journey just the voiced cutscenes
and some of the unvoiced scenes iirc
do you have a rough estimate of how much is voiced and how much isn't? as a %?
couldn't tell you, sorry
i know at the very least all of the voiced cutscenes should be in there
how hard is UwU? and can i be ran unsynced?
all g
ultimates can not be done unsync
easiest ultimate but ultimates aren't easy
They are intended to be challenging content and making them unsync'able keeps them that way
I somehow have level 70 ninja, I played a long time ago and don't remember but I think I must've boosted it somehow, but never did the quests, is there a way to go back and do them again?
cool tyvm
Yo guys if you starting in a city can you experience those 1-15 quests of other cities when you travel to them?!
Like i started in Limsa and want to experience ul'dah
Not side quests but those story quests of the city
uh last question about unending journey, how many hours do i need to dedicate to the whole MSQ?
Need a new character
Damnnnnnn, well i should had listened to the people who said to start in ul'dah but nooo "starting cities don't matter"
is there a more updated or thorough site than https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/gearsets/tanks ? I'm looking to see all sets of each role but this site seems to neglect the crafted sets and the latest tier outfits
its in jp but its fairly easy to navigate
and the gearsets link to lodestone, which is easy enough to switch to english
this is a 100% drop, right?
no
its coming for a quest?
Drops from EX trials
what's the % chance?
if you click on this, it'll sort basically by instance
whats best exp if im locked out of duty finder because i missed a few pops
so not quite by patch but unless you're looking for like crafted stuff, its atleast handy for the instance drops
that helps appreciate it
lol so i really got lucky with it, nice!
Is there a place that shows every boss / dungeon's drop and % of it?
no
Nope
gamerescape/lodestone shows the drops of the dungeons/boss
but there's no way to know %
Not without hacking and being banned
by hacking you mean addons?
mhm
is there a dyeable version of the Lakeland armor set? I know the Dohn Mheg dyeable version is in Matoyas Dungeon

and job swaps
Garlandtools will tell you which shares with which
why are there soul crystals for classes that dont evolve into anything?
there is a dyeable version of that for sam/monk
what do you mean
ooooo
They’re already jobs
DRK has no base class
but what about machinist?
Already a job
of what
strange
Just how the system be
Really dumb question but why don’t casters auto attack?
they can, they hit them with the stick
Because you can't auto while casting
you have to be in melee range toauto
Which you're doing constantly
and for the most part you're not gonna be in melee
not to mention your autos are an incredibly small portion of your dmg
MNK has the strongest autos right?
rdm in the other hand, has some melee time, but the autoattacks are terribly low damage
I was looking through the whm actions and saw the one that reduces auto attack delay and thought it was weird
That's just how all speed buffs read
!action Presence of Mind
does that mean it lowers the GCD?
how do i add a friend? where i can write their name
/tell firstname lastname@world
then right click then add
if they are in the same world as you
if they aint?
otherwise, you can add them whilst in your party trough pf? or you have to go to them
you can easily do that by visiting a different world
Is there a best race for Culinarian? or will any do?
Races doesn't matter
Is that for anything else as well or just the cooking?
For everything
okay, cool. Thanks.
anyone from EU? my friend is on Europe-Light-Lich / But i can't find their server on the list, my list is like this:
Anything but hrothgar, they shed in the food
is there a good particularly good dps to pair with dancer for raid + dungeons? My friend and I are starting together and id love to be dance partners with him. Id imagine anything is fine, but is there a theoretical "bis" pairing?
/s
Selfish dps like samurai and black mage
Specifically crit build black mage
!faq dncpartner
For an accurate answer, upload a log to Hint's partner calculator. Note that the calculator will support logs from lower level content, including the level 70 ultimates.
Otherwise, use the following list updated for 5.5--note that it is made in a gear/skill vacuum, and that it may vary depending on fight:
(The following priority list is for level 80 content only)
- SAM
- NIN
- MNK / BLM (crit build)*
- DRG / SMN
- RDM
- MCH
- BRD
- DNC
*Note: Speed BLM was not formally ranked, but is likely somewhere around RDM.
You're on Chaos, he's in Light. You're on different Data servers
ok great! is there a good class to start with to later go into dancer?
ah, so we're not able to meet
like something similar at lower levels to get any practice
no, but when Endwalker comes out data-server crossplay will be available
Maybe archer but that's only because they're both ranged dps
No guarantees, as we still don't know how data center visiting is going to work
thx!
ok! ill just start archer then I guess
I guess that's true
what does he have to pick to be a samurai?
Doesn't matter
Any
Any job to 50
Pugilist and lancer are melee like Sam. Sam and Pugilist eventually share gear that's about it
Does Dragoon share gear with any class?
Ty
Nin is the true selfish dps lol
ok ill just unlock alex
solo content then
hi guys, if I make a character on Chaos, I have to redo all the story quests I'm doing now on Lich? No way to pay for having your character moved across?
Can I solo the coils at lvl80 unsynced just for completion's sake?
Most people do unsync the coils
i want for completion sakes too tbh
Yes, except probably T9
Which has instant death mechanics
twitania instakills at half hp
KK thx
Ayo guys Is anybody else having problems logging in? With error 2002 / 90006
So you'd probably want to pf that
Say its your first time and you'll be good with 2-3 other level 80s
Can you have as many crafting as you want?
Yeah
For reference: my card
lvl 60 for alex
for completion
What? No
You have to beat them all
aww really
All 13 coils
does sage start at level 70?
so much work for non-existent queues
Yes
this game really hates solo players
dont que for coils
alexander you can que for tho
Coils you have to do all of them for the story/quest completion.
But they're all savage difficulty synced
!faq unsync
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.
you only need to do the final floor of coil to progress to the next tier
im trying to unlock everything before SHB
oooh nice, that's what i was hoping
you don't have to go in order like you do for expansion raids
but like doing coil thru DF is going to be pain
its all soloable but not at 50
T9 would be the only one imho
There are certain strats like pld or blu unsync
trying to do it blind right off the bat is likely going to be failure
But you actually need to know how to solo t9
ok ill probably do it after finishing the game then
but watching a video on it you can do it with time
hi guys, if I make a new character on Chaos, I have to redo all the story quests I'm doing now on Lich? No way to pay for having your character moved across?
the completionist in me is suffering
You can pay to move your character
Hey everyone, I just got to endgame I think, unlocked the shb eden’s promise savage and had a few questions. 1.) Can I skip the rest of the savage fights and just do e12s? Or am I forced to start from e8s or even earlier?
2.) We only get to have one piece of loot per week right? Does that mean that if I clear e12s, I get one piece of loot including the mount or is the mount separate? Continuing on that, if I don't get the mount, is it possible to farm it until I do in the same week? Ty in advance
It's on mogstatiob
- yes but you shouldn't because you'll want gear from previous raids
- not locked any more
damn now I understand why mentors have bad reputation i joined novice network and they were arguing for like 20 min calling players bad
good thing i left
thanks @warm snow is there much point to move from Lich Light to Chaos = new recommended server? If im already lvl 25?
!faq free trial
!faq freetrial
tyvm, question on top of that if you don't mind, at what item level do you think someone should do e12s?
There's not really much point in moving as they're in the same physical location. Unless it's your friends I suppose
so the turn 9, is it easier with 2 people?
Most pfs will have a 520 minimum at this point
@warm snow nope no friends, thanks, staying here then
i might have a friend
gotcha, ty again
520 is really easy to get now tho
will try to clear it when she logs in
Provided you do the legwork/spend the gil etc.
its still probably going to be a bit of trial and error even with 2 ppl
yikes
is there an achievement for completing hunting log rank 5?
nael requires certain mechanics done properly
Yes
For each job too
Or more dps to just nuke her
yeah started relatively recently so I'm only at 513 right now. By next week I should be at 520 unless I give in and just buy exarchic
So is the weekly quest the only way to get breach coins?
You can augment exarchic to 520
how the flip do i do this?
yeah I have 2 pieces of augmented, next week planning on getting a 520 from yorha and buying the last of the cryptlurker accessories. Ty for all the info! very appreciated
there's no weekly quest for breach coins. you just run paradigm for it
If me and my friend are ina party and we're still lvl1 can we teleport to each other?
Wait so you can get all the coins to augment crypt lurker in one sitting if you wanted?
I think paradigm is still weekly tho
no they're still weekly capped
Unless I'm misremembering
there's just no quest for it
I'm not
wasn't saying it wasn't weekly locked
hope i'm not spamming but, how do i do these 2?
go to the location of the levequest, initiate it from the journal, there's a button at the bottom of the window, and completing it will progress the leves of horizon quest
What do I do with antique items?
turn them in for gear
can exchange them to kakalan in mor dhona for the i90 gear you get from your lvl 50 job quest
ty
How do you guys organize your inventories? I have a ton of drops from mobs like animal fat, should I keep it in case it's for crafting or something?
sell to vendors
Is there a place where I can share my Recruitment Code in hopes for people to use it?
