Like the late allagan gear from stormblood
@spark pollen that should explain everything, any more questions?
how did u get 683 in a week
Bozja
okay... Could someone tell me how the heck i get Deepshadow Weapons? xD
when I hover over an item it says "shop selling price 3500" but where can I get that price from?
nuts
the market has the item listed as like 800
No other way?
Shop selling price means an NPC vendor somewhere sells it at that price
just get on a hunt train
To find out which NPC.. usually I contact doctor Google.
Yeah i thought i could buy these tokens with Allegory Stones
Well okay. Thanks anyway
bozja gives revelation? @warm snow
Yeah, pretty sure it always has
doing what
1-5 for skirmishes
It's not very much
are there any other EN speaking peeps for other JP servers? Tonberry and Kujata are currently full :/
Cluster farm doesn't give revelations
Only CE/fates
The rate is fucking awful, tbh
i c
wait till it's off-peak time
and then create character there
Hi guys, I want to know what do you get from doing Coils of Bahamut? I saw Assmongold do it, so what does it give
assmanbald I believe is his correct handle
same as anything else, epic loots
first time poetics bonus and A+ story
Hello, my FC just reached rank 6. How do we get a house? Is it same as personal house where we have to buy in one of the 4 residential places?
Click click for months hoping to get one?
yeah, same method but different choice to click
when you trying to buy a house, you can choose between personal/fc house
you choose FC
where even is the housing area?
one of the blue quest should tour you to the entrance
they are in the mist/goblet/lavender beds
ah
Tomes and a true epilogue to 1.0
what does the little chair next to someone's name mean?
Afk

how come none of the worlds are congested these days?
you'd think it'd be happening more often now
Cause SE manually puts that status on them
i see
So any Congested statuses would go up on 5.58
how important is joining a free company, i haven't done it yet but one of the pins says i should do it. also what are seasonal events and are there any on right now?
i hope i can get my free world transfer by then 
Fcs are social stuff and give some daily buffs. Pins have the seasonal events and events in general on the schedule
to oce?
oce is in 6.1
Congested to preferred
oh
nah i'm on light and wanna move to chaos

if i'm lucky my world we be congested and my destination will be preffered
so it's the stuff like "the make it rain campaign" in 3 days?
Yes
ok ty
Lodestone has full event details
When the challenge log resets, are the challenges the same or do they change?
Same
Same rewards too?
what are the notable things coming to the game with 5.58 next week? 😮
Besides the Feast thing
All content unlocked (nier etc) and Diamond mount will be buyable
Unlocked as in there won’t be once per week anymore for gear?
Thank you
Bug fixes
Some people think we're getting data center travel but wait for patch notes in Tuesday
Which we're not
5.58 should be the last relevant numbered patch before endwalker
Unless game breaking glitch
Or some other such nonsense
someone finds out fluid aura + scathe = oneshot

so typically when im in the main cities, when i click all the aetherite thingies, it tells me that ive finished clicking all of them.
im in the golden saucer right now and im looking at the map and i thought i clicked all of them, but i havent gotten the notification that i'd clicked all of them
does the golden saucer not tell you? or am i missing one? i swear ive gotten all of them tho, is there a way to check which ones im missing if i am missing any?
No more story though, right? And no class adjustments?
No
Awww
We have all our content
ty found it lol
Pretty much
Guys could you help me please ? Here is the problem that I always download games during night when I sleep and in the morning Its downloaded, but not in the case of FF14, it always crashes (like in screenshot) and I dont know how to fix it (my download speed is 2mb/s which is low but I downloaded warzone without problems, idk tbh)
is there anything decent to spend poetics on if i just wanna make gil? currently in post HW
ive bought sets for several jobs i wanna do already, so i just wanna not hit the 2k cap
Yo, is dye I buy from the mog station market prohibited?
Yes
Gotcha
!item pure white dye
It'll have a big fuckingn UNTRADEABLE at the top
But General Purpose dye (coffer drop from retainer) tradeable.
!faq xivlauncher
try this ^
Should I get some gear before I go for extremes or does it not really matter
if you mean level 50/60/70 extremes don't bother with them until 80, IMO
wdym with !faq xivlauncher ?
check the bot message right under
if i buy the story skip does it also unlock the aether currents for an area?
People don't really do old extremes synced, but you can try this discord https://discord.gg/ESbfFfV
yes

Ty man
When does Fashion Report reset?
!fr
last week's theme but still accurate for the timer
Folks my friend has a bit of a weird problem playing FFXIV. Whenever he used the 'Repraisal' ability, it crashed the game. So he completely uninstalled and reinstalled it. That actually fixed it, until someone in the distance used a different ability about half an hour later and it crashed his game again, any idea what it could be? GPU and DirectX drivers are fully updated
How does that work
So if I go do it before Friday, it wont let me?
the week starts off by only showing the themes for the specified slots and a general theme name for the whole outfit
So what is there to do until Friday?
it's to give time to think/brainstorm and prepare for what the set is
tuesday thru friday is basically time to figure out the theme and what will be the gold items for the week
Everything else in the game
friday thru tuesday is judging
And how long does it take usually for stuff like the picture above to come out?
Kaiyoko, who does the infographs in the command, usually gets them done within a few hours of opening due to the brainstorm threads
kaiyoko usually has it up within an hour or two after judging stars
We basically know all the current item themes by now so for the most part it's just finding out which dye colors give bonus points, which the themes won't tell you.
Where can I find said threads?
they get posted on reddit, kaiyoko's own twitter and they update here
The r/ffxiv subreddit?
ye
I never noticed them
is the benchmark glitched for anyone else? it always says "Average Frame Rate 0" even tho the total result is "Very High"
0 votes and 8 comments so far on Reddit
example of one thread
actually this week's :^)
And it looks like this user usually posts the "speculation" threads for figuring out the outfit pieces/themes
Hey is the unwanted delivery side quest in Ishgard city not important anymore for me?
yeah that's just a plain sidequest
it might unlock a TT npc? garland tools doesn't show those off well
I saw a video saying it unlock something important later on
How will the queues for dungeons in EW be(Based on ShB experience at least)? Is trusts an option I should consider when doing the story?
Trusts are still an ongoing thing since they announced ||Estinien|| as a new Trust NPC.
tanks will prob get instant queues if doing it with people
because sage+reaper
why cant I use Bane despite being level 33?
You are still an arcanist
Drop everything immediately
yea
stop everything and do job quest
And do your job quests
what are those
Yeah but I am asking if I should even consider doing them, because I tried doing Holminster Switch with Trust and it was too slow
Under your MSQ tracker
The quests under the tracker
You're on Tactical planning
It's hiding behind your party list
Trusts are intentionally slow to offset having no queue time
and that you get all of the loot, though slightly reduced.
Oh and, I heard there was once an issue with too many people playing solo duties so people had to like, take turns doing them. Was that in ShB?
so I want to get squadrons up and running to level some other jobs, i've done the first quest for them (sent to tutorial deployment), how long does it take roughly for me to be able to run dungeons comfortably with them?
so its literally called tactical planning?
Not that I've heard of.
That's your next job quest yes
I see
only stormblood had issues with story instances at launch
for sure!
What's Direct hit?
Mini crits basically
basically a smaller crit that happens more often and can stack with crits
Always does 25% more damage than regular hits
nice
Any things I should be aware of on a launch day?
Expect long queue times
Hmm? Why long?
Everyone wants to play on launch day
because a lot of people will be logging in
Oh you mean on logging in
queues to log in yes
22mil people
I thought you meant dungeons
They might bring in afk kicks again
Wait wot O.O
And instances for zones
Queue times will probably go up a notable amount for healers due to Sage
yeah no doubt
and a bit for melee DPS due to reaper
they needed instances for 5.3
Other than logging in queue, anything else I should be aware of?
that patch was huge
Also instances are def gonna happen
I collected 20 of these and it still shows that i dont have necessary items in For want a memory quest
Prepare for ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of people by unlock npcs
Did you unequip your weapon?
Like any patch day
yes
i have not unlocked the lv60 augmented, what should i spend on this i dont want the exceeds to go waste
Buy alt 50 gear
if you don't have access to idyllshire there's no real option but more ironworks gear at mor dhona
i see gotta buy for alts then
Well, are there any stuff I should be prepared for that don't already happen at normal patches >.>
is there a list that show where each raid mount drop from please?
I assume MSQ gear will be enough to continue until I finish MSQ yeah?
Not aware of any, but its better to just memorize the ones that dont drop mounts
yeah MSQ gear will be enough, but accessories have a tendency to lag behind since sidequests are the ones that usually give it
Is there a party finder section in this server?
not really, besides the recruitment channels
@leaden ginkgo I cant because I quit the game for years just recently now came back
not much purpose to a party finder channel if people can just use the in-game version
How does levelling crafters on day 1 work? Is it just continuously crafting the new items
yeah, but even using it, my wait time for Dying Gasp is really long haha
are leve allowance account-wide?
How can I tell what worked and what didnt on the fashion show?
character-specific
Yall think Firmament 80 crafts will give exp in EW?
probably not, or very little
Basically go unlock the new leves asap and spam up
Right, leves
but yeah, if you want fast leveling for expansions it's spam crafting with manuals and leves
Manuals are pretty powerful if you can keep them going
I most definitely was without doing anything extra, purely just story and a single run of the story dungeons
Definitely do your roulettes
but if you do roulettes and run the dungeons a couple extra times you'll stay ahead
Wait so how does the early access begin exactly
Cap allegory and Revelation before the patch for more poetics
Does server go into a 24hour maintenance and then I can go in or what
For all intents and purposes, Early Access is the official launch
that's when the game updates to 6.0
24 hours minimum
if it goes over 24hr we'd be getting comp :d
Do you guys think the MSQ can be binged in 2 or 3 sessions?
They DID say it will have 30% more cutscenes
How long did it take back then?
I was pretty damn casual for Shadowbringers and got it done in probably 3 days of total playtime
like really reading all of the text and stuff along with exploring the zones.
Oh def with reading
Skipping the cutscenes will probably make it doable in 1 session
Heya. Wondering how people making gil these days.
I exploit crafted glamour items
Hmm... I got only got BSM and LW to 80 ;x
Furniture can be a good option even in the lower levels
and the things I'm making aren't level 80 glamours

and the only expensive thing is a material that costs 10k gil
I put 8 of those bookshelves in my library
Another popular furniture is the Planter Partition.
Which literally kills the profit? :P
9k left... for about 3k tax? and 3k for rest materials
Is that like 3k profit in total?
(10k for 1 expensive material, 1k for tax, 3k for rest of materials) 14k spent. to earn 5k gil.
the tax would be like 600 gil
5% of 19103 = 955.15
You have to pick if you want to earn some money all the time or big money some of the time
the bookshelf is something i choose because lots of people use it
of course there's tons of other options
You can also play the game of "fill the empty slots on the MB"
If no one or only like 1-2 people are selling an item, see what you need to make it
"Farm EX trials and hope Bozja doesn't ruin it" 
and if the margins are good

is my ping based on datacenter or server?
datacenter

any idea why my level 52 job quest doesn't pop up from lalai?
you're not in heavensward yet i'd assume
ah it's MSQ related
read the requirements carefully - you need to be level 52, and have completed the first MSQ of Heavensward
!faq whynojobquests
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
is there any guide for the recommended graphics settings in the game?
job quests are iirc almost all related to story beats, it's the cross-expansion ones that stand out the most however
do au ra horns clip through headgear?
The definitive, optimal settings for #FFXIV (if you're running on a decent PC or laptop).
If you can't get 60 FPS with these settings, you should use what works for you, but please don't use the "High" or "Maximum" presets, as they waste frames in stuff you barely see!

This post is nice, saved me some frames
I currently have ilvl 483, mainly Neo-ishgardian gear, but need 495 for the latest Nier raid. What's the smartest way to upgrade my ilvl?
if you can spare the gil, buy
Exarchic gear
you can also spend tomestones on i490 and i520 gear
and once you hit i490 you can run the 5.5 story dungeon for i505 gear
The Third tier of Eden has i510 gear and only needs i485 to enter
thank you, will try this out
I guess I'll get a couple pieces of Exarchic to up my ilvl slightly
One setting that really kills FPS is Screen Space Ambient Occlusion
And its barely noticeable
When I create a character on Server X, and then swap my main account from Server Y to the Server X, will my character on Server X be deleted?
Characters are never deleted unless you do it yourself
so, then I have 2 Characters on Ragnarok as example?
If you're on the entry sub one will be unavailable to play, but I can't tell you which
tyvm
glamour question .. so how does one acquire gear here ? is it like WOW where some gear require some high end content that is hard to do and has a small chance of dropping ?
or grind currency and straight buy it from a vendor or MP
Basically everywhere
Dungeons, crafting, buying from npcs
Savage raids have the same appearance as normal raids but can be dyed
Yes and no
After every clear, there will be gear pieces that drop, but those are random
it's a combination of dropped from savage raids and bought with tomestones
At the same time, you get an item that if you get enough you can trade for any piece
i dont care about best gear but rather best looks ( if for example am looking for a specific shield )
Well that can come from anywhere
If it's dungeon gear specifically then that's the only stuff that you might have to repeatedly run for due to rng.
Leveling dungeons (I.E. not 50, 60, 70 or 80 dungeons) guarantee one piece per clear, but it's random which
so am guaranteed drop but not the piece i want
You're
asking such a broad question lol
But from savage raids
at least, modern ones
Yeah, that was for savage raids lol
what drops is a box item that you open as your desired class
and it gives you that gear slot item for that class.
So how do i change class in this game? I used to be archer/bard and i did a quest for Blue Mage, now i can't go back to Bard, only show me as a Archer 😮 what should i do?
Equip your soul stone
when should ot turn on stance?
but also every clear you get a token in your inventory, and if you win the roll for your desired item after 4/6/8 clears you can just trade the tokens for it directly
Usually after the opener
thanks
that was easy xD
in castrum just 1 person tanks trash as well?
from now on you should save every job as a gear set
and switch by switching gear sets.
doesn't really matter both tanks just sprint for it and go ham
gotcha
for fights with adds...yeah I guess? but the boss will die before it becomes an issue anyway
how would i go about repairing my gear?
really is a no brain dungeon
Mender NPC, they're found in virtually every settlement
alright ty
If you can’t repair it yourself, use a mender
also going back to the level skip thing .. what if i skip a job's leveling and than i watch a video explaining the class and its rotation .. wouldn't that save me time rather than grinding the levels
The only brain you need in Castrum is somewhat of an exploit that can save you 3 minutes on a boss fight
sure.
does lodestone not update triple triad like minions or mounts?
Not sure if I'm allowed to say it here though
I don't think saying stunning the colossus is bad
of course you are
you mean my question or someone else's ?
Then yea, if you stun Colossus at 80%, it skips the high defence phase
… that’s sad …
It's not patched out, so it's a viable tactic
And you burn it down A LOT faster
yours
ah got it
Does a mender have some sort of icon on the map i can identify them by?
it really wont save you much time imo
hammer
nice ty
you gotta learn the job from playing dungeons ala leveling anw
Depends, if the party cant burn it down fast enough you'll get 3 of those high defence phases
Which can add time
But stunning it at 80% might just kill it or only have you wait for the phase once
ahhh
oh i was refering to the buying skips then just watch a job guide to learn the job
yeah u need to use the replay function to prevent confusion xD
no you don't
The game isn't rocket surgery
Not really, you definitely can pick up a job at 70
so watching a vid wont help ? 
you can
But make sure you punch a dummy first
Highly recommend WeskAlber
yeah
Very good levelling videos
Is this the quest i need to pick grand company
no
but is it that much faster then just, idk, leveling normal to learn anw? is my point
i came from BDO and i was able to learn classes while on trial characters (leveled up ) it was hard but doable easily this game wont be any harder
you're like 5 levels off
okay thanks
yes
probably
much much faster
Depends on the job?
I was meaning to say learning on a dummy depends on the job
and not all badders are skippers
I wouldn't advice boosting the 50+ jobs
something like Ninja will take more time than say, Machinist.
like imagine getting tossed a lv70 smn 😒 figuring out your hotbar config alone is about the same time to get to 30 …
How would i get rid of the number on the side? Also I want to make hotbar 4 have only like 4-5 slots and i want to make it bigger how would i go about doing that? Can't find the settings for it.
any other classes start at 50 other than SAM ?
only red mage
Rdm
RDM at 50, and then DNC and GNB at 60
Gunbreaker and dancer at 60
Character Config -> Hotbar Settings -> Hide hotbar numbers
DK ?
30
Yep, can't make hotbars less than 12 but can hide unassigned ones
So basically same thing
and can resize them in system > HUD layout
the new upcoming classes start at 70 
Zadnor on Endwalker release 
Oh ok thanks got it
Hello, I'd like to ask if there's any streamers playing on light - lich, or is this just a highly populated server by default?
Okay, thanks 😄
Cuz, I thought that waiting in a queue was for servers with big content creators on there, like Zepla or Asmongold (even though Asmon is on NA)
All servers have queue
short queues happen on all servers during active hours.
Lich has AnnieFuchsia I believe but she shouldn't cause a large queue, its just the norm during active hours.
What about ff14 content creators in general, is there any recommendations I can get? As a WoW refugee, I'm still watching asmon and Rich Campbell, but i'd love to see some new faces.
hi guys, doing bozja relic for gnb. It's telling me to put stats in my weapon but have no idea what to put in. can anyone tell me?
Just max crit and det and put the rest into sks for now
is it possible that I somehow skipped a step in the resistance relic quests?
no
No causs it's pretty bad
Correct
nope
okie dokie, thank you 🙂
Tenacity sucks
what does tenacity do again?
Slight increase to damage and defence.
aah ok
a weaker determination that also very slightly mitigates
Very, very low reduction in damage taken and increase in damage dealt
Where is the list of features for the make it rain event? Someone said you can buy a car mount but I don’t see it listed anywhere
The damage increase is less than determination, and the mitigation is not enough to matter
Regalia is in September
Not now
The car is from the FFXV event rerun.
Car won't be until the FFXV event
It will be 200K MGP though so the make it rain event will be a good opportunity to earn.

I was already typing out!faq grandcompany out of reflex lol
Was that to my question? Because I have a second 510 weapon but I never re-farmed the alliance rates/fates to get the... don't remember the memory names
lmao
that's a one-time step
Does anyone know where I can get e11s macros?
That's one of the "two" one time steps
Same with Zadnor items
!faq grandcompanyvvvvvvvv
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.
yes
is there a recent/modern guide to leveling crafters that anyone can recommend?
Sheelite @neat umbra
-.-
Ferberite, cobalt ore
Ok, apparently me and my friend were talking about different quests 😅 I knew there were one-time steps but he kept saying he needs to do the alliance raids again and I was saying no, that's not possible because I didn't. He was talking about the castrum+crystal tower memories and not the 60/70 raids.
🍡
oh god!
Average=/=estimated
yea it's usually more than that
though that is most likely because of the time I play at

hey ive been waiting 18 min for a trial and there hasnt been a single person in the queue besides me 
best thing is when people keep joining and leaving after 5 minutes
am i in heavensward already?
are you?
anyone know if EU chat support is open? It sais it should be on weekdays 11-17 but I keep getting "chat not available"
cute
no
i just beat ||Shiva||and did the ||welcome to ishgard quest||
No

There an easy way to get rank 1 materias? Noob still on arr patch quests side tracked myself to make a relic weapon and can't afford enough r1 materias for the custom stat step
spiritbond level 15-20 gear
have fun on Heavensward, did you know its an award winning expansion and is available in the free trial 
or use world visit to go to other servers and buy their stash
I never thought of sever hoping forgot that existes
Hey is there a way to locate animal skins like you can do with gathering without having to go to a wiki page?
nope
No
Oh ok
How do I check how many GC seals i have?
Thank you
do i need to level up the crafting so i can use that materia thing on the armor?
Is gold saucer mahjong the same as irl mahjong?
what's the point of having leveling dungeons
... to level?
to level?
im trying to level up lv 74 whm I'm getting sastasha
the roulette compensates the level discrepancy with bonus exp to match ur lvl
yes, though the dora indicators show the actual dora and not the tile below the dora
it uses the Riichi ruleset
it wasn't even half my exp bar
whos spamming
At lv 74 ofc its not gonna give something like a full level
The roulette Bonus makes up for getting satasha
Man I need to learn the riichi ruleset, I only know the Hong Kong rules
but if i got a lv 70 dungeon for leveling won't ut be atleast twice the xp i get from sastasha
No
Cause the roulette Bonus will give you less
It scales based on the dungeon you get
The bonus would be much smaller since the dungeon gives more
To account for mob xp
ohh
the only time the roulette gives much less in general is if you get the 4-man Ifrit/Titan/Garuda duties
Instead of a few million exp, it would be a couple hundred k

Hi friends
Would anyone share their White Mage layout? I'm looking for some inspiration on how to organize stuff for this class
question, how do i choose synced or unsynced when making a party in the party finder?
!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.
in the party finder listing options one of the boxes you can tick is labelled undersized party
Tried to duty finder Garuda (Extreme). I don't mind the long waits but it was funny to see full party of sprouts plus a couple of mentors. We wiped three times before people called it off but I was happy we almost made it through the 2nd time - just didn't get the DPS in time (tank limit break was used earlier)
Any tips on doing this as free trial?
Any reason not to extract materia as soon as you get something 100% spiritbonded?
None whatsoever
So I should just do it on every piece as soon as I can?
Well storage is the one thing
the lower tier materia aren't worth it really. can you combine them?
using a crafter class I presume?
No
oh you have to use NPC
How do I dispatch a retainer for those ventures?
And the low level ones are used for ARR relics, so they will always sell
You get retainer venture tokens, then click assign venture
I have the retainer. Have the venture coin. Summoned the retainer but there's no option to send it
!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
should be something like assign mission or venture
bottom part
you need to assign them a class too
make them a class you actually play, because they can't outlevel you on it
No I mean. I've already done the quest. I have the retainer. I made it. Summoned it at the bell
So you've done the quest of finding a wayward retainer?
and they told you about ventures?
when doing unsynced party, should i also remove role restrictions?
It's an I'll conceived venture quest line right?
generally no harm in doing so
yes
Btw até the retainers per account or per characte
per character
basically the only things that are account-wide are collector's edition purchases, veteran reward subscription items, and account-wide mogstation purchases.
and some promotional codes
Alright. One more thing: what should I be doing with my retainer in the start?
I'm still lvl 34 on first character
quick ventures are the easiest way to level them up if you don't care about getting specific items
it's basically a GIGANTIC roulette wheel of nearly all tradable items and equipment in the game that aren't current endgame items, savage gear, and extreme gear.
I tried making an account to try out FFXIV. The email for the code went into my spam and I have now found it, how do I get back to the site where I can use the code? lol
Tried already, guess I'll have to wait 24h :/
is there any way to do masked rose 60k on trial?
does the quick exploration venture scale with my retainer iLvl?
gearing them up is a pain
When leveling a new job from scratch, is it usually enough to buy new gear from market board every 10 levels, or how do ppl go about this?
I guess store bought is fine till you do the dungeons for better gear
ok ty
this week's is super easy. Stablemaid's Hat dyed Bone White and any pants dyed Bone White.
the difficulty of the easy 80 or easy 100 varies each week
You can buy the hat from vendors in the starting cities (it's a gathering hat) and Bone White is a vendor dye
do you only need those two pieces, the rest can be anything?
yep, just make sure there is gear in the slot
alright, cheers
what are the two hardest (most achievement) cosmetic ring slot items that are still obtainable
it can't be the feast eversharp items either
trying to put together a achievement glam ; earring what I can find is glass pumpkin
and I don't want to double overwrite slots
my stormseal is almost cap what do I spend em on
do veria have human ears
promotions if you can
i need to know
Probably the ring from winning the Jumbo Cactpot and the Gysahl ring which is a super rare from 16 hour ventures

Yall think EW will have role quests or something similar?
hwo do I do that
yes
yes
fml
wrong reply
yes, endwalker will have role quests
its already been confirmed

Talk to the personnel officer of your grand company and choose the promotion option

Damn
sergeant second class
everytime i try to resub square take 1 eur and then cancel because money is not Enough
how can i resub without letting them to take 1 eur
1 euro is a test charge
They still take 1 eur and didn't refund it
it does get refunded
it didn't..
it will, as i said. its a test charge
its not intended to actually take that 1 eu/dollar
you can try buying crysta instead of subbing thru debit/credit card
or buy a time card
entry only
is there anything I should save my allagan tomestone of poetics for? I have 1.3k of them and could buy items from sundry splendors but im not sure if its smart to do that since they seem difficult to get
is it better to do all the duty roulette to level alts or just the leveling roulette for leveling and the rest for tomestones?
you get a LOT if you do your daily roulettes that give them
I'm gonna be unsubbing for a month (this one only) and I run a FC. If I promote someone who can promote/demote and kick players users, is there a chance they can kick me out or demote me (the FC creator) while I am gone for the month?
Namely 50/60/70, Main Scenario, and Alliance Raid
oh alright, thanks, wasnt sure cause rn I dont have a good way of getting them, only the boss trials I think
Guys i have a problem im on a other computer and im trying to log and its asking this (i dont have a code not that im aware of)
free trial?
the FC leader cannot be kicked
leveling/msq/alliance are the highest 3 for exp so would do those tbh for leveling alt jobs
ye
steam?
Sweet, thanks so much Wynne! 🙂
ok. thanks
!faq freetrial
!faq freetrial
try downloading thru here instead
seems like you may have downloaded the full game client
but i must warn that giving someone the ability to promote/demote lets them promote themselves to any rank that's not the FC leader
was this in reply to my question? if so thanks
no it was for magma
Oh damn. So they could give themselves my highest rank or higher than their current status? Yea that sounds dangerous. I might have to demote a few of them that are not my actual friends. lol thanks again!
the 1 euro is refunded
are you able to login to mogstation though?
probably? try registering the account again
what site did you first register on?
Hey everyone! I have a question regarding events, how do they work exactly? New to the game(1 month in)and first MMO ever played, I heard that in a couple of months we'll be getting the FFXV event with the Regalia as a reward and so on, but how does that work exactly? Is it a grind thing, a quest thing, a global/personal goal?
Many thanks!
usually events have a very short questline that gives you the outfit/reward. but for the regalia in specific you will need to have some MGP from the gold saucer
Oh crap! Guess I'll have to get there at some point, couldn't find the will just yet, too focused on the MSQ 😅
there should be enough time to earn it during the event, but it might be more stressful then
Hey guys ! I haven't played for a while and lost my authenticator. Tried to contact support but chat isn't working and I don't know if mail is working since I don't have automatic mail saying I have created a tickets. I don't know what to do to unlock my account. I sent them a request yesterday but maybe I should be more patient
mail should work, but they are probably swamped with the massive increase in players. did you not save the backup code when you added the authenticator?
Alright thank you, will look for a guide for the content in general and for farming points without spending days in there I guess! 😄
this game is so dumb
It's the physical one from the ARR collector 😓
it's basically impossible to join sarg
yeah but regardless of what method of authenticator you added they should have given you a backup code i am pretty sure?
yep the way creation on full servers works kinda sucks, on this site you can select the server you want, and it will make a sound when it becomes available, that might help a bit https://www.xivstatus.com/
XIVStatus is a server status and monitoring tool for Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV). Alongside reporting live server status, XIVStatus allows for the monitoring of server congestion levels, as well as character creation availability. Watch for changes to the FFXIV servers and get alerts sent to your desktop whenever any of these are updated in real t...
i want the bonus xp but they decided to make it impossible to join the server when every other server has been available for over an hour now
i don't think this server is low pop
thanks for the tool tho
Do some qusts disappear if i progressed through the story?
That's a relief..thanks
is there like another NA server?
Hmm it was 8 years ago, I don't remember well
all preferred NA servers currenly dont allow you to create character, even on the different datacenters
Side quests are purely filler fluff in this.
are the ones that unlock other stuff
I was checking my old mails but there's nothing about it
Hi hi everyone finally leveling crafting I just hit lvl 20 in cul I see I should be doing ishgsrd restoration , which grade should I do and are the mats on the market? Thanks
How time consuming is this game? Bonus points if you played PoE and WoW and similar games and can compare it so i can have a better view
it's not mailed to you, when you add the authenticator or otp for the first time it will show a warning with something like "write this code down in a secure place" but yeah the only solution is support if you dont have this
in what regard? to progress through the whole story and reach endgame is 100s of hours. once you are fully up to date there are barely any weeklys that are a must do
Nah more like uhhh
How addictive is this game
crystal is considered the RP datacenter, in case you mind that
very addictive :3 imo
Yeah, I feel like I created a lots of tickets but since I don't have any mail from them telling my tickets have been created I don't know if it really is (since I created some from the chat and one for the mail)
so i have to stay in character
once you get past the dreary lower levels of combat, which was okay for me since it was my first mmo so i didnt care,then you're all good once you get to 50
no not at all
thats only for roleplayers when they're in character
not at all, there will simply be more random people roleyplaying in town etc, and a little less hardcore raiders
you are a separate person from your character
you yourself can play however you want
also some people seem to not like the RPers in this game is there anything wrong about them?
no rp just has social stigma
some people just like to meme about rpers
and the stigma too, yes but rping is totally okay
you;'ll love lalafells then i suppose hahah
hi, im just starting final fantasy 14 online, i was wondering. can you ever switch a class??
yes
this is so good, you can be every class on one character
you can play and switch to all classes
oh PHEW
after reaching lvl 10 on any class you can switch to any of the other class on the same character
only out of combat of course
that sounds great
"alts" PepeLaugh
why is adolf hitler here
@devout sleet Please change your profile picture and name

i think webchat has been down ever since corona really hit (maybe it has been up briefly inbetween), i think you can only do mail support

How do i request to join a free company? Playing on free trial
you can not join a free company while on trial sadly
But i thought that they could be invited to join
nope, i think you might have heard that about parties? free trial can not create a party, but they can join one
if you need a place to chat/ask questions you can ask a mentor to invite you to the newbie network
yes so some trial players will ask a sub player to invite them into a party then they will leave it :>
Where do i change my buttons on pc? I want to assign an ability to a different key but i looked everywhere and couldn’t find anything
escape - keybinds
esc>key bindings?
it should be in the hotbars section
make sure to check which hotbar the key you want to rebind is on
Thx
I just finished stormblood, the game says I need to do crystal tower quests for story before shadowbringers, but I've done the crystal tower raids, does that mean I've donet he quests?
you might not have finished the actual questline
the syrcus tower / world of darkness raids?
if you completed world of darkness, then there's only a couple of quests to clean up afterwards
Alright, I had a look around but it's a bit complex since I have yet to even enter the place: what's the fastest way to farm MGP? I'm not really interested in the Golden Saucer, so I'd farm only for things that require that currency outside of it!
cool ty!
the last quest that you need for the CT raid series is "light of hope" @neat umbra
!faq mgpguide
there's two extra after that that aren't required
I have a quest in my log called the world of darkness, is that before the final quest in the chain?
ye
sweet will get started on that
guys can someone explain to me timegating in this game please ?
how raids and trials is time gated ?
trials are never time gated
whats that 
normal/savage raids are only time gated while they are the newest. for normal you can get 1 piece of loot for each fight per week
are drop rates for clusters the same in zadnor and bozja?
Savage raids, when they first come out, only award loot on your first clear per week. So you can only have one shot at loot per week
Can you farm Gates at the GS over and over for endless MGP?
currently no raid/trials are timegated, except the latest alliance raid (24 man)
yes, they spawn every 20min
Yes, you can
OOOHH BOY!!!! I got mounts to get!
When does make it rain start?
this monday
so why i have "reward already recived" text on EP12 ? while others dont have reward recived on them
Wait, like it's already on?
you already have that exact item
no upcoming monday
What is the exact line of text?
probably the loot drop needed for the weapon
i think that is about the blade of anquity that you can trade in for a weapon
but others dont have that text
that one you only get 1 per week still (dropped directly in your inventory)
Oh yeah the blades of antiquity or whatever
but the gear that drops at the end is not locked
oh so only the weapon still locked
gear isn't locked, but the blades are, yeah.
hello, how often are the sales to buy expensions / base game?
on the official stores? about 5-6 times per year? on third party sites constantly
ooo
should i buy only starter edition and wait for Endwalker to buy complete edition or something?
if you are new i suggest you dont buy anything and play the trial
starter edition give you nothing except the social limiting removed
its a bad choice
so wait for Endwalker release and directly buy the complete edition?
Endwalker comes out Nov, I really wouldn't wait
either way i would play trial, if you get to the end of HW, look again at what sales/option are available
by then it might already be nov, depending on how you play
honostly i bought the complete edition 2 weeks ago and im just finished the 2 expansion today , and i have been playing none stop
might as well buy the complete edition and buy endwalker when you done with the expnasions or when it comes out
i see
keep in mind i was level 60 and already finished HW when i bought them
im trying to minimizing the cost as due to currency and personal reasons, but yeah ill play trial first for now
did you reach HW yet ?
im far from it
OH then stick to the trial then lol because the trial content is insane for free IMO
yea for sure, i like to think about what should i get in future for stuffs like DLC / expensions but i wont get it right away for sure, still trying to get used to gameplay etc
anyway, thanks for the infos ❤️
YW
^ Sprout here. I'd like to get into healing, but I'm hesitating a bit on my keybinds/HUD (keyboard and mouse). There seem to be a lot of debate about the following setups:
- Casting all ST heals on mouseover target via macros
- Casting all ST heals on current target and rebinding <target players 1 through 8> to something more comfortable than the F-keys
- Create several hotbars with <cast spell X on player Y> macros, align them with your party interface in the UI and simply click the spells next to the player you want to heal
It seems pretty difficult to start over once you get used to one, so I'd like to hear some more opinions before I pick one. Anyone have any strong opinions about this?
mouseover is not good in this game sadly
Personally would recommend putting your party list in a easy to reach place so you can have a easier time clicking on it to target the party to heal
learning to get comfortable with manual target is ideal
while mouseover macros for healing isn't exactly the worst, its not recommended
i would bind buttons for targetting maintank and offtank and enemy (focus target). and for healing other party members you just click select (you should rarely have to heal other members outside of aoe heals)
since the bulk of your healing is going to be thru ogcds
i especially use target of target a lot to switch between main tank and boss
Any reason why macros are not recommended? As a WoW player it is pretty much expected for healers to macro pretty much everything
macros have delay and no queueing built in
Auch
they don't queue, and are intentionally bad so you don't rely on them to automate combat
so you whiff skills / they dont go off / go off too late
!faq macrogcd
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
(old layout) but gives general idea of where i have my party list
the gcd in 14 is also longer than wow
so needing macros for healing isn't as necessary since gcd is 2.5s
vs the like 1.5s or something in wow
Alright, so that rules out anything but hard targets. The question then becomes whether to target through clicking or rebinding the F-keys...
clicking to target is generally fine
if you can get a handle on clicking then go for that
but if keybind target is easier, do that
you could also use a party scroll, as well, but it's finnicky
I did hear someone mention that, but it sounds like more of a controller thing
it's not
People actually use it?
I do, occasionally
It sounds janky in my head, but I will admit that I've never tried it...
Alright, thanks for the inputs. I'll try and bind all my abilities and see if I have enough keybinds left to also bind all party 1-8
i would also say to keep in mind
there is actually a plugin to have mouseover healing if you are a diehard wow vet and find it hard to adjust
https://i.imgur.com/c3yNKD8.png
but you might not want to get into that as plugins are technically grey area in this game unlike wow
that you don't need to keybind every skill
like if you are ok with it, you can get away with clicking some of them
When does beast tribe allowance reset ?
Yeah, I guess the longer gcd makes that less punishing than I'm used to
Thanks
when do classes feel more fluid my paladin is 40 now and its slowly improving but still not quite there yet it seems
@twilit arch is the daily timer ingame ? I don't see it
iirc in the timers menu it does note when the next beast tribe allowance is
paladin especially is a bit rough because the magic phase doesnt get smooth until 78, and you dont have your full melee combo until lvl 76
Which alexander raid is the one with the cruiser jet boss? i forgot ;__;
I see thanks, yeah my warrior felt a lot better at 40/50ish
A11, I believe
woo ty
@twilit arch
what tutorial you didn't teach me anything
yeah the tutorial is kind of shallow, but if you follow the main story quest (can click the big button in the top left) you should be good to go and learn a long the way
hrm could've sworn it showed timer, but i guess not
well it's not like I haven't played a mmo before and can always look stuff up if I'm confused about it
well, nothing i can think of in-game that shows the daily reset timer
Can anyone help me fix this hotbar glitch
not without additional details 😂
Taking ss rn
I need to gather Chysahl greens for my level 60 botanist quest, I found out they spawn between 8am and 9:05am, is that eorzea time?
yes
yes
Ok thanks 🙂
I don't know how to explain it but idk what I did wrong
can you press esc>hud layout
and take a screenshot
and try to explain what is wrong, i dont see it in the picture
so it seems apparent if you swap jobs, you start at level 1, so how do you go about leveling if you've done all the quests before?
!faq altlvlguide
is there a better way than other ways to get venture tokens or are all the ways to get them fairly similar in difficulty?
gotcha i forgot about fates and what not, appreciate it
you can buy from grandcompany with company credits
do you think thats the best/fastest way of obtaining them?
Is there a gobbie outfit?
alright ty, ill do that then
once you do your roulettes daily, it should be easy to get a lot of them
There’s a mask
what's the command to get your weapon out?
Hey guys, with the recent surge of players I decided to come back and continue where I left off. Trying to log in my account now requires me my one time password, deal is: I changed my phone and no longer have the app, my email doesnt seem to have any kind of one time password either, what do i do?
does this happen on the launcher or in mogstation?
Tryied loggin on the launcher first then I saw that needed one time pass, then I went to mogstation and it also is asking for it
or wait nvm, yeah if you have not removed it, then you need to contact support
noone is able to remove the 2fa code without support helping
:c
can i unlock flying mounts even tho im free trial?
when you added OTP it should have told you to write down a recovery code for situations like this, if you dont have that then the only way is to contact support
Well, there is an emergency one-time-removal passward that belongs to you but
If you dont have it, you're boned
yep
once you finish a certain quest all mounts will be able to fly in ARR
all mounts fly

Is it true that I ca only use Materia VI and VIII for the first overmeld, but for the rest only VII?
On keyboard, I use z by default - not sure on controller
yes the success chance will simply be 0
