anyone can hop into a chat with me for a minute for few quick questions about raid content unlock?
for the share screen feature
is there a chat to summon the glamour experts' help?
or how can i go about that otherwise
when will the Regalia mount come back?
9/13
so obtaining it aint live atm?
I just finish the duty against ultima weapon and lahabrem and they both went down in like 20 sec
are the difficulty toned down for story
No, castrum and praeotirum have no ilvl sync
So people are synced to i130
And the dungeons are balanced around i45
castrum and praetorium both suffer from being sort of giant mmo design mistakes
Not sure if it's experts but in the folder FFXIV Content there's a chat that's called "glamour-discussion"
You have like 3x the ilvl on the dungeon
shame I exited the cutscene and lahabrem is already half hp
ayyy thx
i hit him like twice
it’s esp fun as a caster
sometimes you don’t even finish casting a spell
and whatever you’re fighting is dead
what profession makes dye?

is there like a site where i can check if i can already make a character in a server? so i can check it in my phone or something
are there extreme versions of the heavensward and stormblood trails?
Yes
There is extreme for every trial (except one questline)
hello, i need a materia-enhanced madmans whispering rod for the relic weapon. How i can get it?
do i need to ask a crafter
Whispering rod is crafted only (or market board) then meld the required materia
Market Board if non-Trial player, that is
Whats a trial 😂
so should i melt it down?
Then meld the materia Gerolt asked you to out into it
Then you need to get it melded by a Materia Melder NPC (in a town), or a friend you know that can craft
alright, thanks for helping
this materia melder npcs can be find in 3 big main cities right?
Yes
Anyone know where I can get the Vocation things to upgrade the job of my retainers?
thanks again
I can use steam wallet to buy anything related to ff14? Subscription, cosmetics etc.?
Trial like "Trial instance / dungeon"? Or Trial like "Free Trial player who didnt buy the game and isnt subbed"
Trial instance
Yeah i think they covered it in beginner-lounge, an 8-man instanced boss fight where your job is just to kill the boss, unlike a dungeon.
Hi guys, sorry, me again, I'm lvl 20+ just done the ifrit quest, but I can't see the 'my little chocobo' quest anywhere
Trials are special encounters in the game where you're pitted against one boss
It opens in literally like 2 or 3 more quests
ah thank you!
After joining a grand company
if the game tells me that i got a new squadron recruit,can i still get more of them without checking on that one new guy,or do i have to go back to my squadron HQ n either accept or dismiss him before i get new members
im just asking if i have to go back all the time
You can have like 3 or 4 in the backlog
Dont have to go back all the time, you can have many
Is it true i have to level paladin to 15 to unlock warrior job quests?
Botanist is Land, not hand
Botanist isn't a discipline of hand
Crafters
Any crafter job - Blacksmith, Weaver, Goldsmith etc. etc.
so only on left side?
Yes
Yes
The ones listed under hand
Your Culinarian looks close
which grand company shoukld I join as a gladiator / future red mage maybe? Does it make any difference?
Nope
Doesn't matter
!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.
They're all flavour
thank you
No difference. It's cosmetic.
Only glam
ahhh gotcha
Check that link above for cosmetic specifics
though the right one is always Immortal Flames cause bias
If you don't pick immortal flames 🤨
Also, not mentioned in that FAQ, but you can change GCs (maintaining your rank in your old one if you choose to return, but starting from Private in the new one) once you get to (I think) 2nd Lieutenant rank.
ah nice
is there like a site where i can check if i can already make a character in a server? so i can check it in my phone or something
👉🏥
The company seals are exclusive to each GC
When you switch your seals for your former are preserved
Are flame seals a grind to get?
Nah
Seals are pretty easy to get.
I wouldnt say so, you just get them passively here and there
I keep capping them regularly without noticing
it's a little annoying up until you promote a few ranks
Gotta get my weird chicken bird mount
thanks
looks like it's peak time in JP servers, all red 
You literally do the next story quest
then you can convert dungeon loot into seals
For the seals for the mount
Excuse me, they're horsebirds
You get 300 from the MSQ right after you join the FC, then you can earn them from a variety of sources to rank up high enough to start doing gear turn-ins, which is the biggest.
chickenhorse
So who do I buy the issuance for the chickenhorse from?
The quartermaster
Doesnt look so bad although yeah the Preferred servers arent accepting. Just note that EVEN without the Preferred status you'll still likely be overleveled for your MSQ for a long time, so Standard server is ok
Hi I want to play my free trial progress on my ps5. I downloaded the ps5 beta and when I tried to login it said I don't have an active membership and need to get the game. Do I first need to download the ps4 version ?
thx bae
If you do the next step of the MSQ they straight up give you enough seals to get the chocobo
Not all. All the preferred servers, yes. But yeah. It's like, 11:20pm in JP right now. Not peak time, but not exactly off hours.
Idk if I did it yet, pretty sure I did.
Ctrl+C will open the currency window
I'm in gridania dealing with the sylphs right now
im trying to get in Tonberry or Atomos, since they say that is a EN speaking server
Tonberry and Kujata are the EN primary servers. Not Atomos, afaik.
ahh yes Kujata mb
But those two are currently closed for character creation, yes.
Try in about... 3 or 4 hours?
That should be pretty off-peak.
My friend couldn't make his character 2 nights ago and was able in the morning
Just wait it out
That's the reason they closed down the store for a few hours a couple days ago
It's the Garleans as the sort of big bad Evil Empire that you're constantly dealing with. But ||the Ascians|| are the bigger bad "man behind the man".
The Ascians are the guys trying to summon the primals correct? Or is it the dark mages you encounter a few times?
The Ascians are the ones in the robes.
Nevermind the primal guys are beast tribes
The ones who show up, snark at you, drop a voidsent on your head, then leave.
Got it
The Garleans are the Evil Empire.
Yep
hey! is there one thats "best" for black mageß
No
No, when you craft and gather you'll find that you start needing all of them (they feed off each other)
Crafting/gathering is entirely unrelated to combat.
It makes gear for combat classes, other crafter classes, potions, furniture, etc.
For most its a moneymaker, best way to make gil
If you level crafters high enough you can meld your own materia and repair your gear without having to leave an instance.
ummm ?
good way to farm 15k grand company seals? did all daily duties, hunting log and i'm level 70 in arr

Top left, a recurring problem
!quest a recurring problem
Do that chain
Minfilia has need of your talents for a reemerging primal problem.
Minfilia
The Waking Sands (X: 6.91 Y: 6.14)
Urianger
The Waking Sands (X: 6.06 Y: 4.99)
The Ultimate Weapon
Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It
huh
where do you buy baits for fishing
what top left
Main scenario tracker
yeah ?
is there an option to view the retainers inventory in full?
that is also locked
when i was there it was locked
And what did it say you were missing?
anyone got a BLU bis list?
Quests will always tell you what you need in order to do them.
sorry, how was i able to change poetics to the grand company?
tyty
where do i find diffrent type of baits to buy
That is not the quest we were telling you to do.
Okay, so do that instance.
You have to actually do the instance.
Not just unlock it.
anyone knows how i can can change poetics to my grand company?
it is tho
Hello! I am new to the game and I have a question I would like to ask, I unlocked the Duty finder and I wish to know if it has the long queue times I'm used to in World of Warcraft or is there a faster way to do this?
No, we told you to do the entire quest chain starting with A Recurring Problem.
You have Ifrit (Hard) unlocked, so you need to do that to progress.
where is that
You literally screenshotted it
You are already on that quest. Do Bowl of Embers (Hard)
Depends on your role - Tanks and healers have under 5 mins (to instant), DPS can have 10-15+ minute queues.
Also depends on what youre queuing for, I will say that "Guildhests" specifically dont get many people in the queue so that could take especially long.
Clear it
Queues are faster in the evening, also they are rather quick because of lot of ppl playing the game suddenly.
Buy gear with poetics then trade it in at the company for seals
The instance you have checked in your screenshot. Click the queue button.
Do the instance.
You're on the chain.
Thank you 😄
gear from where if you don't minD Vinyl
You've already done it and need to do ifirit hard to continue
Sundry splendors in main cities for 50 fear...ishgard sundry splendor for 60, kugane sundry splendors for 70 gear
there are vendors in any city?
Is there a discord for people wanting to do older hard content without echo and stuff?
Sundry splendors in Kugane and Ishgard
ah, those are the NPC locations?
Yes
i assume higher the ilvl of the item = more seals i get?
Yes
what do end game players store in chocobobag usually? 😄
may i ask where kugane is? in what map
Far east
and should i keep any of thse animal drops?
one more thing, how do i know which map i have to go to for these quests?
hover over them
Hover over then
I use wiki
did you organize that yourself or is there button for it?
Anything, its the same as inventory/retainer space so up to you! Something you might want to keep around in the overworld. Materia, food, whatever! For the animal drops, they are used for Crafting so keep them if you think you'll need them (or you can sell them to an NPC theyre super cheap, either or)
Right click an item in your inventory > click "Sort"
How to move this UI?
click and drag, iirc
Hud editor > duty > duty actions
hey guys can anybody tell me why my HoH floor 31 is locked? i queued for 1-10, 10-20, 20-30, but not i cant go into 30+? Isn't the 30-40 floors the one to grind XP from 61-70?
It's the challenge floors
You need a fixed party
Like potd 100+
ah... so then the floors that are used for grinding xp you need a fixed party!? so ppl solo it or they actually find a fixed party?
21-30 are the grind floors for HoH
I can't connect to the servers. I get in and instantly lose connection or I can't join at all. My ISP is fastweb and I live in Italy, is this a common problem?
Are you on free trial?
20-30? ic but still it doesnt let me pick 21-30?
yes
You have to reset.
i did, but it puts me in 1-10
You can start at 21-30
doesnt let me? :S
They've been bouncing free trial players when the servers are high-volume because there are so many people playing now.
i reset, go to enter HoH, matched party, and it puts me in 1-10
if i queue for a dungeon roulette before reset and complete it after reset, will it count for the previous day or the current one
Current day
I have friends that seem to be playing fine and they're on trial too
Did they log in earlier? Or did you all try logging in at the same time? Players online won't get bounced, but people trying to log in would.
There’s a HoH related quest you failed to do
It’s near the entrance
Yes I believe they logged in earlier. I assumed this was a common issue because it seems like a few people had the issue when I searched on google.
I thought it was my ISP
Oky i've bought poetics gear, on which of them do i sell it for grand company points?
Why would you do that?
Use the poetics gear
If it's the trial player bounce, you should be seeing a message along the lines of "servers are at capacity, please try again later"
quick question, will squadron attributes affect your squadron in command missions?
i'm 80, want to get rid of poetics
no
!faq poetics
ok
It’s much more time efficient to dump dungeon gear anyway
Serpent Personnel Officer
you can keep it for future alts if they share the same gear
or use them for relics
I'm getting "lost connection to lobby 2002"
Select "Supply and Provisioning Missions" from the list.
how do i sell them though? i can't .. sell them
Need to be high enough rank
Have you tried disabling your firewall?
https://digiworthy.com/2021/01/12/ffxiv-error-2002-lobby-server-connection/
wait, what rank is required for it?
guys for a DPS, is it crit>direct hit>determination?
Depends on the DPS, its different for each job. You might want to check on the Balance in their resource sections
!faq Balance
I'll try all this
ty
(Generally crit is the highest weight right now for a ton of them though)
2nd sarge
Buy the ones appropriate for the job you want to gear.
You shouldnt have to worry about it until endgame - what job are you on? Theres only one set that should work
dragoon and paladin
DRG is... Maiming? and PLD should be Fending.
i filtered by dragoon, the rings have 3 to choose from
They have different names in HW though, yeah
Oh that's right. HW did weird naming stuff.
That's not ninja
Pick the ones with the same name as the left side gear.
Paladin - Shire Custodian
Dragoon - Shire Pankratiast
oooh
this is a good tip
interesting tt they dont filter the accessories by job for u
They will in future expansions
They realized their mistake in SB I guess, accessories are very clearly demarcated haha
It's because the accessories are a little weird about how they match with physical dps classes.
if u buy the game on steam does it come with a sub, or do u also have to sub after that
Like, physical ranged dps (BRD, MCH, DNC) share the same accessories with NIN - a melee dps.
You get 30 days of free game time when you first apply the base game to your account, regardless of which version you apply.
You always get 30days free when buying the game
but i have the game, i dont have expansions tho
Do you have the free trial, or the actual full game?
Because those are two different things.
i have game on my steam, and free trial on other email
Expansions don't give time
^
rip
You get the free 30 days from the base game
Then you need to buy a sub.
Unless you wanna coast off the free day campaigns that randomly occur
I wouldn’t but
DayS
right
any chance free trial expands to include stormblood
14 days login campaign
i have been playing on free trial the past 2 days to lvl 40, but its like im gonna miss out on SO much if i dont have the actual expansions
i just completed the base HW MSQ, can feel myself paying for the full version very soon
i dont feel so, my gil was capped at 300k end of ARR, and i dont care abt it, its only for glamour or free company
Not sure about SB, they expanded the free trial from level 30 to level 60 last time and it was quite a jump so it might stay that way for a while - who knows though.
I've seen people play the Free Trial exclusively for like 10 months, just leveling jobs and crafting and whatever they can get their hands on
wait isent free trial lvl 50 only
60, up to every single HW patch quests
oh, i thought only 50
35, upgraded to 60
Base game ARR and the critically acclaimed expansion Heavensward* 😉
arr patched quest story onwards is where the writers start taking their jobs seriously
im not much of a reader, ive been skipping all scenes
uh oh
Have you been skimming at least
skimming
Is the best way to farm crystal sand to do the levequest spam?
ill try that thank you
what is skimming
Skimming means glancing over something and only getting a vague sense of what it's telling you.
what is the bis food for fishing?
yea i dont think so too xD
So i have a tiny question about glamor.
I know you put one piece over another.
But what about when you get a new base piece with better stats. Do you need to cast glamor over that again?
Yes need to reglamour
if you somehow felt lost or suddenly intrested on the story , i think you can replay cutscenes and dialog
!action veneration
you know your synthesis skills?
@sour pumice ah right, thats nice
uhhh
Do outfits in mogstation ever go on sale/drop in price? 👀
it makes those give bigger numbers
Sometimes, yes.
that worked, thanks a bunch
all skills that say increases progress
oooh thanks
ah okay got it

no
No
just costs 1 per item you chuck into the dresser
customizing the plate and applying is free
hello, does anyone know a reason why my pixies dailies did not reset?
You had beast tribe dailies from the previous day
The Antitower is the dungeon that people speed run for bitter memories right?
Any beast tribe dailies with prevent them resetting
i checked my journal and i do not see any
Screenshot it
well be warned, i am terrible at keeping up with the quests i have haha.
actually maybe i should have that quest selected... hmm
Can I go and play on my stormblood account and level up new jobs without paying a sub fee?
No
there we go
What's the top half of the journal
No
there is only one and it is a Maelstrom quest
Once you're on a full version of the game you can't go back to the trial version
What are those?
i did rank up with pixies and do 6 dailies for them... i did picked up 3, did 2 and ranked up, did the new ranked up quest, completed the 4 dailies. and now nothing
Should i waste my time on getting my curtana to nexus but is on atma stage right now so idk how long it gonna take or should i continue with the main story and expierence the game?
and the bottom half of the journal? @leaden ginkgo
start of Eden
you can do it along with the msq if you want
just eden?
yeah
Alright
no rush to get it done since its just for glamour
Mhm
when did you do your rank up?
icons you can put on other players to denote them for a reason
like in pvp 1 means "focus this nerd"
Those are Signs / Markers - you can put them on other players or mobs
How do I do that?
or 1 and 2 on your healer for light party mechanics
when do the beast tribe dailies reset? a friend says he thinks around 8am PT which i thought was earlier... maybe that is my issue tho, they just haven't reset
there is a sell button or what
!daily
Party Menu (bottom right) > Signs iirc. You can either use them there or drag them to your hotbar, but dont expect that youd have to do that for a while
they basically just reset
it's under turnins
ah ill check again and see if its fine
How do I unlock extreme raids?
why are there two reset times for different things instead of just one time for all haha
Ankuno, this one?
yes
i can't do it
i mean most things reset with the daily one
i drag the item or?
alright, nevermind... they are fine. thanks for the help though @faint flare and @twilit arch
2nd Sargent
You’re on 3rd
is dancer in the free trial account?
no
So uh, is it normal to end up at an insufficient level for the main quest and ending up having to look for random XP?
aw
if you aren't on a preferred server and don't do your duty roulette, yes
this is my rank, how many ranks do i still have to get there? and about how many Seals?
what should i spend my tomes on if i don't need any gear atm?
there's a noticeable gap between 46 and 49
What's a daily roulette?
math 
Is hard
we said 2nd
im assuming i will need some other stuff later but i just am not sure what yet. like i heard you need a lot of tomes for relic weapons
your next rank is 2nd
The literal first thing you see when you open the duty finder
By default
Oh. I generally avoid using the Duty Finder.
Thats
Not smart
How you do dungeons
you said 2nd? well it says current rank third.
Also, i asked how many seals until the final required rank, not the required one, you don't have to be toxic
I have a friend who's lvl 80 crush it for me and then continue the main quest
required rank is 2nd
next rank is 2nd
Well that'd your xp is behind
Really not smart, that’s a lot of exp you’re missing
You're not getting dungeon xp
but.. dungeons are what mmos are about too :<
Hello! I have a question - I just dinged 50 on my first job (WAR). I completed the Stone Vigil dungeon, I have not finished the AAR MSQ yet. I read that at 50 I can begin to gather Allagan Tomestone of Poetics to get my 120/130 ilvl set. I, however, do not see the duty roulettes yet. Do I have to be 50 AND finish AAR?
thank you
Yes
Oh so it's kinda like a teamwork than to make it easier to coordinate during raids cause we don't have to text for that?
You'll need to finish ARR, yes - that unlocks dungeons that open more roulettes for you to do
You don't start earning poetics until castrum and praeotirum
I have a bad experience with randoms. They tend know the objectives of the dungeon where I don't and just run everywhere in a straight line while I play catchup.
dungeons are extremely linear
Just say you’re new
Oh thanks guys, not written clearly on the wiki, just says "max level" thank you! @knotty lily @faint flare
Or just use sprint
if you play as the healer or tank, you have a little more sway in the party
I wish it was easier to find somebody online to help you, like in Discords like his. But the odds of being on the same area of play is so poor.
There's something called the Novice Network which you could try.

Guys can you tell me how FFXIV endgame looks like? I heard a lot of things that in XIV the best is story and mid-game, Ngl I care about endgame as ex wow player (kekw) I have a little feeling that I can beat this game too fast and if things i heard is true i won't have stuff to do 
I bought the starter edition, but in-game, I'm still on the free trial? Did I do something wrong? o:
I've seen videos from ex-wow-raiders that say ff14 has the hardest raids they've ever played
Did you use the code on Mogstation?
Nuh, I just kinda bought it on steam and opened the game like usual o:
Endgame is plentiful, bountiful, and vibrant - Extreme Primals, Unreal Trials, Savage Raids, Ultimate Raids for the truly mad.
Even If you catch up as fast as you can you'll be totally fine, Shadowbringers endgame is still being done today - but by the time you get here you'll be looking to join us in Endwalker endgame, too.
Ah. I don't know the process for Steam, I use the website
has there been some information on how they are going to fix the housing system?
Apparently a lottery system
They're adding in solo and FC only wards and a lottery system
is mogstation in the launcher or?
Which they can change what wards are affected as needs be
I've been doing Housing Ultimate and it's a painful experience
Mogstation is account management
was hoping they would make it so that everyone has access to the same houses as long as they have money. like a server type thing where you can invite people to your house server or let it be open.
so how are u supposted to lvl up other classes, if u start class lvl 1 but ur story is lvl 20
!faq altlvlguide
!faq altlvlguide
thx
Xp boosting equipment
have they said anything else about how the lottery system will work and other stuff or have they just kept it a bit secretive?
what to do with items that are binded
like they are low lvl and i dont think im going to use them
Sell them, trash them, or desynthesize them
how do i desynthesize them
Or trade them to your Grand Company for seals, once youre high rank enough
Desynth - have to have a crafter class leveled up (to 30) and have unlocked desynthesis (in Uldah)
So, in game I can change my title screen in the movies and titles section, but it resets on restart. any way to make it permanent?
okay and what does desynthesize do exactly?
Only with addons
Gives you back materials
addons? never used those. how do I set it up?
sounds way more valueable
!faq quicklauncher
I did it, I'm subscribed finally~ :DD
This deals with plugins
ty
how do i sell them to grand company for seals? i cant seem to see option to see
sell
how do i know what lvl
You need a certain rank to unlock expert deliveries, and even then you can only trade in colored items
Hi i just bought the game. Can i start as astrologian? or do i select that later on?
When you unlock it, it would be under supply and provision missions
I have a question about the Grand Companies you can join in the game, is there any differences between them, like cosmetics, mounts and so on, or is it all the same overall?
Astrologan is unlocked when you reach Heavensward
Yeah, you're gonna want to do that first
!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:

Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
Cosmetic, check that link for the differences!
Mechanically they are the same, some of the cosmetics are different, and you can swap between GCs later
do i have to start as a certain class or doesnt that matter?
Doesn't matter
thanks m8
Those need crafters and gatherers specifically, supply and provisioning
Question: if I wanted to do bahamut coils unsynced with PF, how long will it take me to finish everything? i'll prob skip all cutscenes and then watch later
Like a few mins
Shit melts with 80s
You spent more time running to the boss
Do I mention in PF if I want to go through everything?
The invincibility phases exist but other than that, you’ll tear em apart
or do i need to recruit per coil or something
Do I get a queue penalty for disconnecting from a dungeon in progress?
No
Unsynced
oh right, unsynced
Bonus, T1-13, unsynced, WT welcome
alright, thanks!
ninja is such a complicated class!
ever since I hit 50 and finish the ultimate weapon I been queueing the last 2 duty to farm poetic 130 set
I am not even half way done and I am lvl 56
Go unlock other lv50 content
should I keep going i feel like by the time i got the set i out lvl them
Much better for poetics
I'm currently looking at a guide for leveling alchemy and it says "npc buyable mats, GFB from housing area" does anyone know what GFB stands for?
what other content do you mean
Literally any other lv50 content
theres like a crystal tower lvl 50 thing you can do that unlocks a raid
A FUCK TON of blue quests opened up after Ultimate weapon
Which is all of Arr old endgame stuff
which one is the most popular for farming poetic
More 50 dungeons, mandatory crystal tower, mandatory hard mode primals
Do them all once as you get bonus poetics
For first time clear
And unlock more roulettes for poetics
somebody got a link to the free company finding tool thing
!faq communityfinder
thanks!

how do you lose your sprout?
168 hours and started shadowbringers MSQ
yep
That's a returner symbol
You keep that for 7 days upon your return then lose it and revert back to sprout if you're still within those limitd
This is my first time ever playing. I rolled on a preferred server and have lots of bonus exp coming in because of it. I read I should be leveling like 3 jobs at once to not waste exp?
You can yes
whats the point of new game+
Replaying story
I am sorry for the barrage of questions that I have, but I have yet another, I am currently a Thaumaturge and I want to play the Black mage class, is there a specific quest that will give me the class or do I have to complete the Thaumaturge questline to become one?
does activating new game plus completely erase all your quest progress or can you pick which quests to re-do?
!faq 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.
The latter
Only temporarily
You pick the quest lines you're repeating
You pick what chapter you wish to start from
Expansions are usually split into 3
And can come and go when you like
Each job quest line is its own thing per expansion
So if I understand this correctly, I have to do the lvl 20 quest and I get to be a black mage then?
And all your thaumaturge quests
Lv20 story AND lv30 class quest
Then you'll unlock the quest to unlock black mage
Thank you 😄
Yup, Red Mage starts at 50
Where can I find what lvl all the other jobs start at?
Are professions worth doing while leveling?
I like to switch to botany while I'm travelling between quest points and gathering as I go
nah you can save them for later
anyone know if changing GCs and ranking up all over again is faster than from scratch?
I'm not even at shadowbringers and I have 6mil in the bank
does your squadron retain their levels
seals too?
Seals don't since they're different currency
oh rip
so gotta start from scratch
considering getting that one achievement for being max rank in all gcs
Does anyone know where I can find the cheapest materia I can get to engrave it on items for quests?
Hey i started a good week ago just reached Level 50 playing Paladin really enjoying tanking so far in random pugs, and wondering how feasible it is to get into endgame content as newbie tank? will i have a bad time or are people accepting?
How do i Assign an ability to my mouse 3
You'll be fine
very easy to get into high-end content
quick question- what are the duties it's not showing me?
that sounds great
You're expected to check guides for higher end content anyway so you know what the buster is
thanks
obviously gonna make sure i know whats happening, not going blind
just me coming from WoW and people not being patient or welcoming
or atleast some
Already better than majority of people
very likely a large handful of guildhests and possibly a few alliance raids
Just do the mechanics and do your job
Are any hunting marks gated by story progress?
got all the alliance raids, maybe regular raids?
cross check with this list
Yes, you need arr done to unlock hunts
That's opened like immediately for alt jobs
I'm literally at an area where a mark should be
and it's not there
I've triple checked
and the enemy is not. there.
@agile crown LimiT are you in every game? I saw you chatting in BDO chat when trying it out and now that I play FF14 I see you posting in FF14 discord 🤔 also mathil sub btw
Is its spawn gated by story progress?
Are tokens for the Nier raids week locked or can I clear at as many times as I want for the coin?
the mob might have been killed by some other player
Some only appear in dungeons
you'll need to go around some more and look for them
only paradigm's breach is locked weekly
tyty
Guys how do i assign an ability to a key? Looked in settings and didn’t find anything does anyone know??
the other 2 raids are free for all
lmao yes i play BDO right now aswell but not much to do except dailies
drag the ability the key you assigned a short cut to (ex: F/shift+F)
you'll need to assign the keys to the hotbar beforehand in your keybinds
👍🏻
Thx
It's actually eerily vacant
What’s the name of the target you’re hunting?
"3rd Cohort Signifier
Is there a way to get this to 100%?
Nope
After they shoved the second array I can't get my reflects on
nope
If you can’t find them i suggest you do one of these quests, they appear in them
Already failed three times
wait
fusing more than 3 actions incurs a failure rate
try to see if there is a recipe that uses 3 or less total actions
How early on does one typically start beast tribe quests?
whenever you want
they are largely cosmetics only
Is there a way for me to set certain ui setups to certain jobs? Like for my AST I have it setup in a way thats easy for me to keep track in that my card stuff is above my card ui, healing, dps and utility are all on their own rows. If I swapped to say tank, this setup would not really work. Can I make it so that as I swap job, it changes to another hud or do I have to do it manulally every time I wanted to change?
Can someone explain how 2 players who play the same time etc can have an exp difference of millions from a dungeon? I.e. me and bf levelling up together, run same dungeons all the time etc. But he gets more? We both have menphinas earing and both eat food beforehand so dunno how there can be a difference?
They're not quite in the Sylphlands. They're over to the east, where the flag is on the map. There aren't that many however so you may need to camp for a bit.
Ok clarification: how early can you start, and how early do most people start?
fuck if I know how early "most people" start
you can start as soon as you finish ARR i'm pretty sure
leveling roulette scales to level
on the ARR beast tribes
Cool
most people start when they find out about some mount they really want
like the namazu mikoshi
or the serpent of ronka's jar
Yes, mudras had lower potency when they were off global
Since they came out faster
I'm in exactly that area. THey never spawned. I gave up
there are multiple HUD layouts you can use ,and you can macro changing jobs where it changes your HUD layout when you switch to that job :>
How do I unlock the primal extreme raids? I seem to only have Hard. Do they unlock after I do the Hard ones?
Everything unlocks via a quest
i c
okay so MNK vs NIN
which has more personal dps
even NIN has lower gcd under buff
but MNK has gcd
Monk
MNK has greased lightning
if MNK and NIN misses positionals?
which also lowers GCD
Monks personal dps was their thing before samurai stole their spot
o
DRG is below those two right
regardless of personal DPS, you're probably going to do more damage on the class you play the best
DRG has more buffs
so don't pick based on what fflogs says
Regarding that embed: how can I be certain what’s ARR vs HW, if it’s a level 50 quest and I don’t remember when it appeared (it’s in Revenant’s Toll)
for example if i like DNC i can never match SAM dps
you can very easily beat a bad samurai
or BLM
you can
if you are a good DNC
i mean good dnc vs good sam
i outdps SAM's and BLM's all the time in normal content
sam is harder to play than DNC
what kind of stat numbers do people have at 80? (like how much critical hit does a warrior have at endgame for example)
Thousands
not possible
Like 4k
my GNB friend has 3969 Crit
kk thanks
3-4k
you're assured procs every 60s at the very least with flourish
bis?
yeah he's BiS
so 3k+ is average?
what's the ilvl
530 average
nearly every class builds full crit
with relic
with the stats squish those stats will reduce significantly right?
so will the enimies
Everything will
stat squish? they doing that for EW?
and stats already tier in lower expacs
Yes
yep won't affect much
Numbers too big, causing overflow issues
will racial stats still be irrelevant?
but that will reduce lags right?
yep
good
So is it possible to buy a music player for an individual FC player room if it is where do I get one?
wonder why they are even in game lol
you can get an orchestrion for your room yes, either craft or buy from the marketboard

How often do devs add new mounts or glamour to Golden Saucer as rewards for MGP or whatever?
Anyone can suggest something to sell from Grand company seals?
I capped my seals don't know what to spend em on
you can buy ventures that you use for retainer ventures
scheelite
Problem is i never used ventures xD
use them to craft wolfram ingots
then craft lv 50 glamour weapons
sell for 100k
profit
Can you solo queue in duties and get the items and mounts?
Oh
moogle weapons are expensive
so are some ramuh/ifrit
@tropic flame Ah nice, I thought it'd be macro related not messed with macros all to much tho :c
check your server mb and craft that sell
Well do so scheelites?
Oh nice
No i meant to craft wolfram ingots
its relatively simple, dont worry :> https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/6m5my7/swap_actionbarskeybindings_based_on_your_current/ hopefully this thread helps since i do something similar to this
1 vote and 20 comments so far on Reddit
Thank you very much
get the ffxiv companion app
Will do that
check which item sells the highest in your server and craft that
you can also check the recipe on that app
the companion lets you check MB prices?
I think boss weapons always sell
also not to mention a 4th favourite location
of your server
use universalis to check dc price
but its not real time
but use it to get an idea
What does proc and prog mean?
I was told there's a farming spot in Hydatos but I can't quite find it
if im at potd 21-30, can i form a fixed party or w/e its called and keep going from there?
or would i need to start over
mainly asking because of this
Fixed always starts from 1
fml
you can start fixed from 50 as well
proc = activation of a chance effect, prog = progression (ie of a savage/ultimate encounter)
as opposed to farming, wherein the expectation is you've already mastered the mechanics
Gotcha, thank you!
chance effect isn't really the right word, but something that activates either by chance or a conditional rather than manually
Hey, since Dreadwyrm armor has a replica, does armor from Stormblood or Heavensward raids also has a replica?
Like Omega armor, for example?
if i do a fixed party for the lower floors..
would it HAVE to be the exact same 4 people doing the floors climbing up?
someone suggested i start a party finder thing but im worried about someone leaving halfway through and having to start over
can harvestable plants still crossbreed?
of the stormblood high end trials which one is the easiest? want to try getting into some harder stuff now that i've finally reached SHB
is it just me or does bardam's mettle hit really ?????? hard? i got it twice for leveling roulette yesterday and today and i was struggling to keep a level-synced tank alive
no because the dyeable version of the raid armour is from savage
Does stone I and stone II use different or the same animations?
stormblood has a big defense jump into bardam's
Coils stuff only has replicas because it was prohibitively difficult for anyone to get access to it for the longest time
if your tank isn't at max ilvl for it it hits like a truck
and because the gear isn't originally dyeable
and even if they are it's a big jump from the previous dungeon
and the replica version is largely for being able to dye it
ah that explains it thanks!
Let's just chalk it up to: because arr
Hi everyone, i started the ‘For Little Chocobo’ quest but i need a chocobo insurance
do the next main scenario quest to get the seals needed to buy the issuance from the quartermaster
Ah okay thanks
Hello! it might be a stupid question but do you know if it's possible to link your FFXIV character to your discord status? (as Mod. MeaMea seems to have done)
I think most people do it via steam
its part of the ffxiv quicklauncher
How do you get RP icon?
Do /rp I think
edit search info
How to do that?
press O > right click your name

its /roleplaying
if you don't wanna deal with having to go thru the social menu to edit it
is there only one battle music and why does it sound like remixed mission impossible
Each expansion has an overworld battle theme iirc
does my relic weapon upgrade all the way from ARR to Shadowbringers?
Each expansion has its own independent relic, which is EVENTUALLY the best weapon of its expansion
Once a new expansion is out its pure glamour
How are older raids still useful even at level 80?
How do I go about leveling other jobs? Should I switch to them and just do quests with them instead of my main job?
I guess what is the veteran way to do it haha
there's a roulette that gives you level 80 tomestones for doing them
do MSQ on main and daily roulettes on alt
is there any up to date guides on how to play dark knight with rotations etc. ?
!faq balance
aside from that, glamour and the occasional quest that sends you back to them, for example the SHB relic sends you to basically every old raid
What's level 80 tomestones?
like, before 80 you have poetics, at 80 there's allegory and revelation
thanks
What is a daily roulette?
WHat about the normal side quests?
whats this, is it from ff14?
worldbuilding purposes only
I like world building xD
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
it's from eureka and I answered their question
great, but they're awful EXP
I'm still at low level so I don't know what poetics and tomestones are.
So I don't know what comes before level 80 too, so it'll be nice if someone could explain them to me
so, when weaving in spells in this game, can weaving too early cancel the previous skill and cause a loss in dps?
!faq weaving
can someone help me find baron von quiveron III esquire?
uh, nice! thx
Is there an lfg section in the server?
I don't care so much about the reward I just read that the MSQ has more than enouch exp on a preferred server so I'll be "wasting exp" if I only play as one job for saide quests and MSQ
On preferred you can just alternate what job you're turning in msq on
yes, that is correct, which is why I recommend doing daily roulettes as your alt class and MSQ onl your main
You can easily level 2 jobs doing that
!faq
i need help
So useful
#kupo-bot-spam
got it
tomestones are currency for high quality gear at level cap
and a few other things, but primarily gear
i'm guessing no one wants to help me 😦
Speak for yourself
Oh. So I can tactically farm in older raid and still get level 80 gears?
is there any way to not have to hold right mouse button for the camera to move ?
are you talking about this?
