As a WoW refugee, the things that are the same just make sense xD
As a Monk, can someone tell me why doing flank flank flank then rear rear rear is not optimal? Im only level 53 btw
me too, just making sure to not waste money
becuase of the way it's laid out
How do I get this coat?
dragon kick - twin snakes - (the dot) - bootshine
Looks like one of the YorHa chests from the level 80 alliance raids
looks like the nier chest?
That is from the second Nier Raid.
There's a nier raid?
Yes
what's the lowest level req. for it?
80
80
Yup, ShadowBringers 24-man is based off the nier series.
feelsbad
3 of them in fact
has a lot of nier music and 2b glam
It's the Alliance raid for Shadowbringers
Oh yea its music is awsome to listen to.
latest expansion's alliance raid series is nier-based
So all the blindfolds i've been seeing are actually 2b blindfolds
i wasn't just being a retard to think that?
most likely.
and the 2b outfits are actually 2b's outfit, yes
most likely yes
SIIIICK
the two big crossovers are nier and Monster hunter
theres other smaller ones
wut
Some of the Job set gear also has the blindfold as well.
that's sick
they also said they'd add the flight suit as a mount later

Now THAT I want
what's a good mini game / event to make MGP?
Why not?
takes too long
Fashion report is the best but it's weekly and you need to be decently leveled for some gear.
so when can i do the monster hunter raids/raid then?
i dont get how the Fashion report work ?
try double weaving with any of those skills and you're guaranteed to clip a GCD
because their animations are too long to safely double weave
Post Stormblood
so, free trials can't do it
no
Sadly no
goddamn shadowbringer seems so more tempting now
but i have to wait until endwalker
i just have to xD
have SE said anything about reworking some jobs? seems like a lot of buttons
do dragons in this game ever land WITHOUT roaring menacingly?
some do đ˘
guys i have few silly questions
but they land on their back xD
most fit comfortably in 3 hotbars
I did well to spend then
GNB and maybe like PLD could be pruned
ask away
Fashion Report is a small section in the Gold Saucer that judges your appearance. There are a variety of ways to max out your results, usually posted every Friday (when judging starts) on Kupo-bot. All of your gear needs to have something equipped to max it out though.
Hi there....I need a little help figuring out where to get gear. I am trying to do Heavensward and it won't let me queue until i'm 142
did you do your lvl 60 job quest?
no, i have not
go do it
ok so as a new player i was getting that boosted xp so i hit 80 level while i was still doing level 70 MSQs,so i felt weird that i might be wasting xp if i kept doing msqs on that 80 character
I'll start there! i forgot about it
and it'll give you a coffer of gear
Yes as a general statement, but didnât specify any jobs in particular yet besides AST
But all jobs are getting adjustments to some degree to fit in new skills
but i didnt know what to do about that and all that cconfusion and of ccourse not having enough time made me leave by now i am back
and was wondering what should i do
Welp do your MSQ with alt job I guess
oh gosh, i don't even remember what i did for my last job quest...it was before i took a year break. haha
pruned is a good word yes, i feel some skills could be combined and adjusted acordingly
you can either lvl another class to 70 and continue the story, or just do it on the lvl 80
should i just complete msqs from 70 onwards on my 80 level char and then later level up other jobs?
it doesn't matter
SMN is also likely getting a rework since theyâre hitting a ârotation length limitâ for them
the story stays the same
yeah but how fast is leveling up alts if i dnt do msqs on them?
Takes more time, but is worth more fun
With road to 70 buff it will be quick
i find levelling alt jobs fun becuase BECAUSE you dont have to think about MSQ
i heard people do it through dungeons
you can just sorta get on with it
job quests are indicated underneath the msq tracker
what ever you fancy in the moment
so just get a class to 15 and do dungeons
hmm so i should just finish my MSQs on my dragoon and then think of leveling up alts cause atm i dnt want to level up anything else
but also dnt want to waste the MSQ's xp đ
sigh i keep contradicting myself...fml
Level your alt job to your MSQ lvl
i mean, those last 10 lvls aren't that big of a deal
!faq altlvlguide
Then your alt job will get THAT MSQ exp
@twilit arch oh! There it be! ugh, thank you so much...i'm sorry. I hadn't seen a job quest come up until now >.<
Don't worry about it. XP is not a finite resource.
i mained SCH for fast queues until 60, then i made a GNB who did Heavensward, SCH is 66, GNB is now 70. I levelled a Dragon from 1-60 so i could continue with 4.0 and not 'waste' xp. Once im upto MSQ 66 i will continue with my SCH.
Sit back, relax and remember that you're playing a game to enjoy, not a job that you need to get stressed out over effeciency on.
i have the road to 70 buff which made it more annoying tbh.
hmm yeah what lord said
I don't have road to 70 buff so dunno how fast it is
i think i will just finish MSQ before getting into alts leveling,dnt want to worry about multiple jobs while i am invested into the story
Any merit/reason to doing side quests other than exp? I been doing every single one because addicting 
If it's not blue probably no
i like to save them for alt jobs if i hit a bump
kill time between long dps queues đ
if the match is over, then click leave
Leave. That's just a summary and the timer is how long you can loaf around before you get booted for it.
Hello
So I hit my gilcap on the free trial
Are there any npc vendor items that i can buy now to sell later at a discount.
Hi, I am level 18 and I'd like to do the first dungeon, Sastasha, but have no clue how to. My duty finder is greyed out
I can't use the mb during the trial. My plan is to buy some commonly used vendor items now in order to sell them later at discount.
It should come with the main quests no?
just follow the MSQ
Does anyone know when the next Mog Store discount comes?
Is there a way where I can hide the unused boxes on the Hotbar? I've seen so many YouTubers do it, I can't seem to find a solid solution đŚ
Probably Yoshi P
are there any good places to look for trades besides market board stuff
Like the Boxes?
Yeah like 2, 3, 5, =, etc @slate nacelle
Not really. But you can look at this guide for things to spend on. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/iy165i/free_trial_player_here_is_a_guide_on_ways_to/

should be char config > hotbar > hide unassigned slots
What is the timer on CASTRUM LACUS LITORE spawning, or is it random?
main menu, character configuration, hotbar settings, hide unassigned slots
đ Wow
Thx a
By default 60 mins after previous end. Doing Skirmishes and CE's reduces it.
gotcha, thank you
Thank you!
I have a question, I have been looking into the ffxiv music recently and want to know which of the songs are like super metal
Cuz i found fiend and i absolutely love it
metal
the song
Another question I had is what is the difference between Hotbar and Cross Hotbar?
how can i turn off minions names?
Pretty much everything from Alexander is a good start.
so is it require for me to have the poetic gears or not really?
under the weight
how do i get the document to get my own chocobo
the Grand company quartermaster has it
it is under materia
serpent quartermaster?
yes
depends on which grand company you're in
flames have the flame quartermaster
serpents have the serpent one
maelstrom has the storm one
materia
There is no materia tab in the GD quartermaster
Beatings fates out in the world
thanks
Or hunting log
where do i find ones that are around level 26
You should have enough from the previous MSQ.
I have 0
Character config > display name settings
he has to do the next one
and he'll get 300
thanks :)
is there anything to do with excess dungeon gear other than turning them in for GC seals? even at lvl 80
how do i quickly get to vesper bay
i was busy making a map for you, so you'll still get it
It takes ages to get there
press I
and there's letters that you have in your inventory
you should have 12
use one and it ports you there
Desynth them for random materials
@mossy moss are you able to help me out with what i should sell in my bag if i send a photo?
Or sell directly to a vendor for a bit of Gil which may or may not be better than desynth
and what i should do with the rest?
i am about 10 levels above you
@obsidian patio ty
I am not the right person to ask xD
dang okay
Anyone able to help me out with what i should sell or keep?
Hi can someone educate me on best way to sub within EU? is it through the website via paysafe or ?
So you don't get lost next time i marked the serpent quartermaster for you @subtle estuary
Buying your sub through the mogstation should be fine.
đ
i already know where the quartermaster is xd
And should you run out, the fastest is to port to Limsa, then the arcanist guild in there and take the ferry nearby to vesper.
When I get to floor 60 of PoD thats when i reset progress and go again?
ye, i made the map before you found it but still wanted to post it so i'll have future reference
Yes reset it back and do mixed party from 51 to 60 again over and over.
Yes, but only do 51-60.
keep the dyes, pots and the letters
open the box
sell everything else, keep the prism as well
For level grinding, you can. If you haven't hit floor 100 yet I suggest doing it at least once.
that's what i did

So after i get to 60 i reset back to 51?
@subtle estuary
and keep going?
Yep
I' mgetting zip/postal code error on sub via mogstation is there an easier alternative method? can I sub striaght from Steam?
or prepaids
Yes, you should be able to use your Steam wallet to purchase sub time.
Thanks
Bottom line second from left to right @subtle estuary
What?
In your inventory it is in the bottom slots you have filled second from left to right
It is a box with weapons in it
Right click it and press use
yes
oh i do have a box
And you will get a weapon out of it
If you dont want to craft right now, you can sell everything that is a material for crafting
Till what lvl should i do PoD?
Read your items and decide if you want to keep it or not @subtle estuary
okay thanks
60 cause after that POTD is not worth it
How long would it take me to get to 60 doing PoD?
Question, if i want to raid on ultimate, but i am on free trial, can i still do it?
ultimates are lvl 70
When can i become a dragoon?
Damn
!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.
level 30
is there any downsides to waiting for youir account accept this event? https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/freelogincampaign/
thanks
Would depend on que time but many hours
level 30 lancer, btw
That's for players who have left the game, not for new subs.
oof
just so you know
it'll run out in late august when the event ends
yea i am a lancer :)
ok cool
Wanted to go ninja but i found out i had to level from scratch on rouge and was like nah
@plush hound wym by left the game? cause my sub has already ended and im like 26 days inactive
It would also depend on the class your working on but POTD is worth it for dps cause of the short que time, tanks/healers can do dungeons
15-50 is real quick so leveling new jobs is fine
especially if youre on a preferred server
I'm doin lancer
yeah you can just wait 5 days or so and do the event
Can somebody guide me towards a good server to start with English pop preferably highest in EU servers?
!faq worldpick
Lich?
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
thx
What does prefered server mean?
ok, wasn't sure if there were any lockouts that ill miss if i just didn't resub @random girder
!faq worldtype
Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.
Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.
Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.
New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.
Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.
hi!!, its my 1st time trying to get to ocean fishing, im talking to the NPC but he is saying that they are no longer recruiting crew members, How can i get in?
Fair enough. As soon as you're eligible you're going to want to do it.
Lower populated server that is wanting others to join and it gives xp boosts to the people who join
What type of world is pheonix
The ocean fishing is a timed event. Every two hours you can sign up for a brief window. Miss the timer and you have to wait.
Light - Lich is an english dominant server
can you get anything good from the moogle paw machine in gold saucer or just 25 mgp?
I've somehow managed to buy 2 of the mastercraft 7 tomes, can i trade one in somewhere?
it wont let me discord
is pheonix on light a prefered server?
i keep getting a sound effect it's hard to describe but it sounds like a notification or confirm noise yet nothing shows up in my chat box and it happens even why my hands are off the controller
it was leaving in 7 minutes when i tryed, so i was there in time, right?
'fraid not. you'll have to discard it.
No only that, personally id only do them small machinces for the weekly achivement
If I log in at the last day of the Free Login Campaign, do I still get 14 days of gametime, or do I only get the one day?
alright
That's the thing, it says it can't be discarded and the option is greyed out
It's possible all slots for that run were filled.
ooo ok, so it has a limit, thanks!
nvm figured it out
what materia should be placed on my tanking gear for pally
are you 80
I am
anywhere between 2.40-2.43 is fine
sksp
nope, no such thing
more crit = more damage
There's never too much crit

^
meld crit until it gives you diminishing returns
then dhit, then det
skill speed can be anywhere between 2.4-2.43 so just adjust based on what you have
thats the bis range anyway
you can go higher if you want
just dont go more sksp t han like. 2.38
are there any easy-ish to get smaller mounts? i've been riding my chocobo for 73 levels now..
jonathas in gridania exchanges mounts for achievement points
use /ac
could a knowledgeable lvl 80 paladin with 510+ gear show me their stats so i can see how mine should look
So the red line means double weave. Does that mean that I use both of those abilities twice?
Where do I go to get promoted to 1st Serpent Lieutenant?
no it means you use each of them once
hello,
my 144fps option in system configuration disappeared in âBorderless Windowedâ
it was there before but now no ... and yeah I checked screen settings and it is 144fps
so dunno why it disappeared
Do you guys know a lord verminion guide up to date ? i want to know which pet is good or not
so drill (gauss + ricochet) next gcd (weave + weave) etc
I am in eureka anemos, and got my +2 relic weapon , and bought 3 pazuzu feathers from the birdwatcher. I have finished the story line in anemos (got pagos unlocked) but gerolt wont talk to me to enhance that weapon. am i missing something?
I see so it would go GCD - oGCD - oGDC - GCD
yes
when does BLM become "strong"? lvl 50? 60?
BLM's rotation changes a lot. It becomes more consistent at around 60-70
not as well balanced as 80, but the game is balanced around 80
I'm a wow player and started playing ffxiv today, i love playing classes that can solo old raids while healing themselves like resto druid/ feral / paladin / blood dk / etc, which classes are good at doing difficult old content here?
all
Question, is this a rare, and if it is, what does it drop?
you can solo anything as any job from arr and hw
!faq meta
sb is easier as pld and rdm
due to self heal
war as well
but anything generalyl works
^
Short answer - lvl 80's can clear old content solo unsynced. Blue mage is a joke class that is supposed to be OP for old content
Do healers like white mage do enough dmg by themselves to farm and do raids solo easily?
how am i supposed to level other jobs after i've done msq for my level?
Somewhat rare, it respawns every few hours. I believe that should drop 50 allied seals. If you're level 50, you'll probably need a group to kill it. But you can solo it if you're a geared lvl 60, or lvl 70
!faq altlvlguide
ty
how do I move around the gear sets in the gear set list?
Thats a tough question, honestly id say no but it depends on what content your doing. They wont be killed unless a mechanice kills them due to their healing but their dmg is not the same as like a tank or dps, but if your wanting something to solo old content BLU is best bet.
all healers do more damage than gnb which is highest dps tank
dps is not a problem in old raids
survivability is
the only reason healers do less dps in a raid scenario is because they are using gcd heals
Thats why I said BLU cause of their way with weaving skills in their plus their healing and than the big explosion to just finish off what your fighting.
well yeah blu is the cheesiest
If I log in at the last day of the Free Login Campaign, do I still get 14 days of gametime, or do I only get the one day?
you are assured 14 days of game time
Thats the point xD I like clearing final coil turn 4 in less than a minute, sure I can only do it but every 5 minutes but still is funny to see.
Thank you :)
yes
cuz i can hear a song playing while riding a chocobo
most mounts use a generic theme, ex trial mounts and a few others have a unique one
All mounts have their own "music"
well no, most as emerald said use a generic theme
theres a generic one for arr mounts and a generic one for. every other mount
either borderless (generic flying music, most expansion mounts use this) or a rider's boon (generic ground mount music, most a realm reborn mounts use this)
the ones that use a unique one are the exception
Theirs a few dissapointing EX mounts when it comes to thier music like th warring lanner
not every trial no
is there a discord for doing extreme dun. raid for mounts?
I would not know but I know for lv 50 and lv 60 mounts you can use party finder people join them alot.
i made it to shadowbringers and it took away my sprout icon. yet i see other people here with sprout icons. how do i get it back?
to lose sprout you need to get to shadowbringer and have less than 7 days playtime
yo
if you get to shb in less than 168 hours you will still have sprout icon
can i put relic weapons in glamour dresser?
which basically means you skipped the story 
quin69 style đ
i still had it bc i bumrushed MSQ
but i already did ARR once
so i skimmed it again
what's the best way to gain a few levels quickly? i'm level 46 and my next msq mission is level 49 
Is there any faq in the discord with important info to read for newbies?
i lost sprout the instant i entered (shb) the ||crystarium||
do leveling roulette
!faq newplayertips
i only skipped the tedious fetch quests in between expansions that didnt have voice acting
then unlock aurum vale in vesper bay
you normally lose sprout icon the moment you leave rising stones after starting shb
if you meet the playtime requirements
can i put relic weapons in glamour dresser?
No
Not the actual items, no. The replicas you can howevwer.
hey everyone, my first character is actually an astrologist level 74, but i really want to play dps for shadowbringer and endgame content, but what is scaring me the most is the waiting time in order to find dungeons.. what do you think about it ?
anyway, what's the best way to catch up with gear at lvl 80? do the patchquests?
replicas?
how do i make replicas?
it isn't as bad as you would think at least thats my perspective from levelling (only level 46 atm)
this does not make sense
check pins
find a healer friend to get healer queues
just set aside an extra 15 minutes
My queue times are usually 5m as a Dps, not super long imo at least
Thanks for your answers guys !
Versions with low stats that are used for glamour purposes. You buy them from someone near where you turn in the quests for the actual item.
replicas have no stats
Anyone know roughly how long it takes to do the Eureka relic?
40-50 hours?
thank you
What other trials have a full set of badass gear like Urth's Fount does?
urth's fount is kind of an exception to trials
generally they only give either weapons or accessories
dang đŚ
Note that the ARR version requires that you have the final iteration before you can buy any replicas. HW and beyond have a more progressive approach.
ok thank you
does anybody know any promo code for the standard edition?

if i leave during my leveling routlette can i queue up for another one later
Are you able to receive mail from a friend if you're on the Free Trial, and they have the full game?
How and Where do i get the Needle Ultima Weapon for Red Mage?
clear the weapon's refrain / ultima ultimate / like one of the three most difficult raids in the game
oooof
Is Eureka the quickest way to farm poetics? I know when i was leveling up in there I maxed out a couple times rather easily
Depends on how active the instance is, mainly.
what would you consider the 2nd best? is there anything else potentially better than roulettes?
Spamming the dungeons or 24-mans that give a lot of them with good queues
or hunt trains
hadn't thought about hunt trains, that could be a good idea
just trying to figure out the best way to get umbrite quick-ish
Do gold saucer vendor items change or is it always the same?
Same stuff
They sometimes add stuff to it in main patches but itâs not a consistent thing
okay
ugh i forgot a class quest and unless i spend a forth of my money im stranded in gridania
Is your Home Point set? Can you Return back to where you need to be?
(Return being free once every 15m)
why game why would you let me come here but not let me go back
Huh?
i already set it to granadia
if i try to use the airship she says I don't have a pass
Teleport then
Are you in the middle of the MSQ that takes you to each city?
Or follow MSQ
but i plan to switch classes that means i'll have to have a bunch of money to buy an entire new set of gear
If so then keep going with MSQ, and just do the class quest as soon as you can. Its not life or death
When you unlock a class at level 1, usually the gear they give you for your race is enough for a while
Are there no crafter/gatherer job quests in Shadowbringers?
i can't unlock the class cause i skipped my level 10 class quest
There are the crystalline mean facet quests
Like role quests for crafters
So go do your class quest
For gathering jobs, can you use yellow scrips for any "weapons" they need? Besides at 70?
but it's expensive
i only have 2k and it costs over 600
Can any1 tell me how to insta kill extreme ARR trials to farm mounts?
Thereâs nothing else for you to spend it on while leveling
Just teleports and repairs
So if I want to get BiS for TeA, would I only need Augmented Deepshadow and Edengrace stuff?
Blue mage.
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the âď¸ 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.
Rng final sting combo
One shots everything up to ramuh
reliant on condensed libra for the phys vuln up tho
actually if you play a class that's different than your starter you do have to because they only give you gear based on yoir starting zone from quests
so it can take a while.
No you donât, your racial starting gear is fine to begin with
That forfeits rewards tho? unless i misread
Nope
Not from chests
Still get rewards from chests
ohh okay! Ty!
okay then how do i cast white mage spells without a wand
only exp and gil, you still get items
It forfeits exp and random material drops from mobs
Also mat drops from the boss
Cause you can get a Shinryu scale from Shinryu unsync
and a celestial kimono remnant as a drop from Tsu
The unlock quest gives you a wand
you need the right weapon to use class abilities correct?
Is it worth it to spend some gil on gear if I'm starting to feel weak while leveling?
Any idea when Lich will be open to new characters?
nah not really
The MSQ should give you good enough gear for a while
no idea. it's dependent on how many people leave the server
It's nothing crazy really. Maybe it's just because I'm a Bard?
you can check server status every so often
Make sure you'
Is it possible to somehow miss the wind aether sources in the quests?
Nope. You can always go back and get them
Aether currents? Theyâre just given to you upon quest completion
how do i go back if they were in a dungeon? just redo the dungeon?
Check your progress in travel > aether currents
ohhhhhh
There aren't any inside of dungeons.
No itâs completely instant
once i was finished with the quest I looked to see if it was there and it wasnt
There's only two in the entire game attached to dungeons at all, and they're attached to completing the quest associated with those dungeons, not actually inside the dungeons.
It's almost item for item except a few blues that are from a vendor. Maybe I should grab those at least then.
Question, cosmetics
huh
how do i change my tail?
well then im all good. thanks
You'll need a Fantasia potion for that.
can't i just make it more furry at the barber?
No
Barber is hairstyle and makeup only. Tails are a completely separate category from a customization standpoint.
for alt jobs, when should I start doing PotD to level?
You can start doing PotD to level alts from level 1
So for openers theres a set combos to execute. But once an opener ends do you make your own rotation and go with the flow or do you loop the opener again?
No
Itâs not good at level 1
Youâre better off doing hunting log till about 15 or 20
I mean, it's not good, but you can.
Then starting PotD
At level 1 the percentage of level it gives is so tiny youâd be better off even just doing FATEs
Fair
If i want the elemental armour from eureka do i need to be max level in all of the eureka areas?
where can i get this potion then
Opener and then you go into your rotation
You get one for free for completeing the MSQ "The Ultimate Weapon", after that you can buy them on the Mogstation cash shop
its not really so much so making your own rotation as it is maintaining buffs and cd usage until the next opportunity to do another burst window
which lvl is that quest ?
Ok thanks guys! Very close to end game ( very excited). Thanks again
Yes
Keep doing your base combo, hitting actions on cooldown etc
also, does equipping the soul stone for summoner/scholar only level that job or does it level both like with arcanist?
It levels both
Levels both, but you still have to do the job quests separately.
^
ok thanks!
You have no reason to go back to being an arcanist

How can I get a lot of MGP?
Weekly fashion report, easy 60k MGP
!faq mgpguide
Do the weekly fashion report at 80 points every week.
Also, starting next week will be the Make It Rain event which will double rewards.
how?
!fr
I already did it
Do the easy 80 points for the maximum MGP reward. Getting a perfect 100 gets you a title
first time at gold saucer
Then you wait until next week and do it again.
Did you get 80 points?
hi everyone! my friend just bought me the starter edition on steam. i was wondering, i don't see any expansions other than shadowbringers on steam. do i get all of the previous ones if i buy shadowbringers? thank you!
Yes
no I got 68 pts
thank you!
Do it again and get 80 by following the guide then.
All versions of the game come with ARR and the first expansion HW. Shadowbringers and Stormblood both come in a bundle
Quickest way to level after unlocking DRK?

has there been much trouble with the steam client? i was planning on getting the standalone but my buddy bought the steam one for me as a surprise. just wanna make sure there's no big disadvantage to playing on steam (bugs mainly) before binding to my ea account
The only issue is that you can only buy additional expansions on Steam
Biggest disadvantage is that you can't take advantage of SE store sales.
what is challenge log gold saucer and how do I see it?

word. i dont think it should matter much if my char is on the steam version. is there a way to unbind from my account if i ever want to switch for some reason?
how do I see if I unlocked it
so many wowzers in low level dungeons lol
Check under "Logs" in the main menu
Logs > Challenge Log
ok
See if Challenge Log is grayed out or not.
If itâs not available, you need to go do that quest
anyone have a good dragoon hotbar setup they can reccomend?
Can try #protips-and-ui and search all the images people have posted or ask
ah no I haven't, it's greyed out
Then go do the quest I linked.
If someone discards a job quest reward armor coffer, is there a way for them to get it back?
oaky
You can get most of the job quest gear back from the Calamity Salvagers
I thought the calamity salvager would give it, or at least the gear
Yeah we're there now but the specific pieces aren't there
Which level gear?
Alright new here, can someone explain the subscriptions for this game, I'm seeing 12.99$ for 180 days but a monthly price?
It's $12.99/mo for six months.
I started the new trial but realized I can't play with my bros until I buy the game
The level 60 WAR chest armor
Oooh so more days but less pricy?
is the chocobo mount quest part of the main quest line?
"Ravager's Cuirass"
Yeah, that's how it works
is there poetics gears for lvl 70 ?
yes.
You'll be able to get the quest after you pick a grand company during MSQ
thanks
k thanks
It's basically the same monthly price as the basic sub, but you can make up to 8 characters per server up to 40 on your account rather than 1 character per server up to 8
On console what a good way to use text chat outside of a keyboard
i also thought this is an irritating rescriction
You get it at rhalgr's reach iirc
The auto-translate feature is pretty handy
why does a free trial of an mmo lock of mmo elements
Pretty much all of the free trial restrictions are anti-bot measures. It's kinda necessary
It is now, it used to be a side quest. You also can get it as a battle companion once you complete the msq Little Solace
It's to discourage bots and make it harder for RMT traders.
should I do random numbers for jumbo cactpot or custom?
Yeah we kinda "played" the game on ps4 a long while ago and decided to play together since we all got our own pc's but just found out we need to buy the sub
How does that help with text chat?
how is preventing adding people to your friends list resticting bots?
So bots don't send spam friend requests to everyone
So they donât spam friend invites?
It restricts unwanted spam invites and solicitation.
Itâs pretty self explanatory
You can set up macros with pre-made phrases and replies so you can smack them in dungeons and such.
But it kinda hurts the experience
if someone is spamming you just block them
If even one of your friends has a sub, they can invite you to groups and add you to their friends list.
Oh shoot that would be nice
So everyone has to suffer spam
I used to do that. My blacklist got full really fast.
Oh yeah true
As the solution?
Gonna assume thatâs in chat setting
The issue would be that there would be endless bots making new accounts to get around the blocks
Blacklist caps at 200
Can you level combat jobs with crafting? Or only the crafting jobs?
Only crafting jobs
You can't craft when you're being a combat job.
Exp is tied to a job
why not put an anticheat (preferably one that actually works i'm looking at you hackshield)
Whenever you are in a job you only get exp for that job
it can't be that hard to detect an autoclicker\
It's not just autoclickers though. RMT spamming used to be VERY bad, even as recently as Stormblood.
btw how much is the subsciption fee
!faq subprice
With Fashion Reports; the thresholds are 80 and 100 right? I don't get anything more from 80 to 99 for example?
Correct
what is the estimated drop chance of gwibers?
whats the diffirrence between standard and entry
The number of characters you can make per server and account.
well off to buy the game
Where would I set up those phrases?
Got cha
Is the entry sub only once? Or is it just a basic subscription just less characters?
Hey guys
I'm looking for people to play with but i'm not sure where to ask
The latter
I did the undersized party but how does it get melted?
Huh
Ok cool might be the better choice for me then
Just wanna be sure, I gather I cant put a code in until nearer release, but will I get the actual code for the digital collectors stuff for endwalker later? I already have and understand im meant to only have the figure and the earring now. Just wondering about the other stuff and how that code works :)
Levels and ilvls scale non-linearly
So later levels provide more boosts
So when you unsync youâre doing content with way more power than it was designed for
so what do i do to melt it? Or do i need a max lvl player?
Hi! Iâm on Omega, newbie looking for friends aswell - If you are on the same server then hit me up. Would be fun to play with other! 
sounds good! :)
do yall play on steam or standalone?
I play on steam
Plus, if you list it as for mount farm, plenty of people who haven't gotten the ARR horses yet will probably jump in.
cause cheaper prices
The level 60 artifact gear is bought from the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard with Centurio Seals
how frequently does this happen?
Standalone đ
what are you queuing for?
leveling roulette as tank
Tank???
Shouldn't take too long
Pretty frequently?

Are material items bought with tomes able to be sold on the market boards?
Does any of the relic questline in Bozja asks for Forgotten Fragments?
Like invisible silk
Items say on the tooltip whether theyâre tradable
Minions
hello, I wonder if anyone can help me here. It is about relic weapon. I have done first 3 that require to get it to 500 but now I suppose to receive Irresistible quest From Zaltan and he doesnt have that quest for me. Help đŚ
If it doesnât say untradable
Then itâs tradable
Okay! Thanks so much
i have no idea why theyd put that into npcs
so what are pets then?
thanks btw
Pets = battle pets like summoner egis and scholar fairies
Party leader
Looking for party
hello, I wonder if anyone can help me here. It is about relic weapon. I have done first 3 that require to get it to 500 but now I suppose to receive Irresistible quest From Zaltan and he doesnt have that quest for me. Help
but he's in my party, in a duty
how do i join a free company?
No it is party leader
the menu option is locked even tho I bought the game
Wait no itâs party leader mb
ah
Be invited or apply
How far are you in the bozja story?
!faq communityfinder
Lfp is green icon
how do i apply
I have done every main mission, i finished story
Blessed, thank you
To apply ingame you have to view their Company profile, either by right-clicking a player who is a member of that company, or by visiting their FC house if they have one and reading the placard.
oh well guess i'm not fuffiling that promise
But you can use the community finder to get in contact with someone who will invite you
Or use discord
The next quest should be âChange of Armsâ not irresistible
Like the recruitment channels here
Whatâs the armor with the glowing blue hands
@serene tangle
Anyone know or predict when the next complete edition sale will be?
dont have this one either
i met someone who offered to let me join their fc but i don't remeber their name i only wrote down the company name
i thought i'd be able to search it in the menu like any other game
You can search FCs on the lodestone
wheres that
!faq lodestone
So... are "Mistral's Ballad" fights just above EX's in difficulty, or is that just something false I heard somewhere?
They are EXs
when is it you unlock the next quest for DRK in SHB?
lvl 80
that late?
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
how come they changed it? story specific reasons i presume?
i think theres like 17 combat jobs
Resource management
17 questlines of varying quality is less good than 4 good questlines
17 and 11
where is urianger? i need him i didn't do hist waking sands quests i can't find him
Vs 4 and 5
i see the logic behind it. just a bit sad :(
How long are one expansion when compared to level 1 to 50?
I wouldn't expect to be as long as all 50 levels, but if it's even as long as 25 levels despite adding only 10 more levels then I'll be shocked in a good happy way, lol XD
he should be in the waking sands if you still need to unlock ARR Hard/Extreme Primals
They do give you a sidequest after toh finish the role quests
they are only about half of ARR but pack WAY more of a punch
i unlocked them a long time ago i want to unlock odin now
where is the lfg channel?
oh ok. i'll just have to wait till then. thanks for the help!
you might've done the very first quest without knowing, check this spot
!quest who was that man in black
Idk if itâs the same for Chaos, but under the category FFXIV Recruitment, I see #494379215420915712 and #reddit-recruitment-feed.

Will Revelation have any use when 6.0 drops or will it just be removed
it will be soft-removed and you can convert them into poetics, which will now also be usable for level 80 gear
AMAZING, lol XD
1 to 25 levels were long. And I like long. There were alot of quests to do (as long as one "side" quest isn't longer than a actual story like killing 300 of the same enemies like Black Desert Online did)
So I'm glad, lol XD
same for Allegory
So not much benefit from them :P
I did say I'm at 2k hours and still haven't finished all the sidequests. you want long? we got long
for the market, is there a better way to figure out what the market price on an item is other than looking at the market board?
AWESOME, lol XD
Yea. I would LOVE that, lol XD
can someone use a RaF code after theyve already made a trial account?
sorry if this has been asked but i returned from about a two year break im level 70 and i cant kill two level 70 mobs at the same time im a summoner and im doing the roto that is on akhmorning is there any tips any of you could give me?
Hey All,
I am running into a problem where when i log in it says i do not have a license or sub has expired, and i just renewed my sub
any ideas?
not really. there's Universalis as a website to look up stuff, but it relies on people using a plug-in to be up to date on the items they specifically search for
so items that aren't popular can be incredibly out of date
wynne can u pin the event schedule in #beginner-lounge
For account Status it states i am Standard
ok, ty!
that means your account is non-steam, and must use the native launcher
!faq download
!faq daily
what';s the command again for the daily timer?
omg do i have to redownload the whole game?!? lmao
Will 5.58 be the big 5.X finale?
!daily
maybe try initiating the download and after few %, copy the files from steam to where u set the new download
might work might not
not really "big" we already got the story finale for shadowbringers in 5.55
Pretty sure it's just some adjustments and possibly data center travel.
Wow, this got drowned.
What gear do you have, and what zone are these mobs in?
I'm behind. Really? With the credits and everything?
there is no story after 5.55
until 6.0
can anyone give any tips on how I do can do more damage?
what job are you?
that is very vague
So the credits roll after the 5.55 story?
oh nvm
are these things daily? they did not seem to reset today
not daily
yep
No.
one-time experience
ohh
Must not have been a very big one then, I didn't hear much chatter about it.
Not like with 2.X and 3.X.
just started the free trial. should i be doing levequests.
Does Minion have powerup? It mentioned it don't have any enmity nor will it fight alongside us in battle, but what about powerup? Does it increase your stats in some way?
well 5.3 was the biggest one
How do u change ur appearance with the fantasia potion? I forget, im at the chatacter select screen now, i thought it was here? But i dont see it
ahhhhh it's the challenge log the one that resets
minions dont do anything
im free trial too, MSQ gives enough exp to lvl50 they say
Right click the character name on the right.
to 80
What with Omega? Pretty sure that was later than 5.3...
ohhh to 80, but that's useless cause we stuck at 50 
More than that really
what does omega have to do with shadowbringers
No?
so what are levequests for anyway? they dont seem to give a lot of exp
Free trial goes to 60
Theres 3 options... save appearence data, back up character settings, and viait another world"
if youre preerrred yeah
Not 50
preferred
Nevermind, my brain had a fart.
No
mostly for crafters and gatherers
Even non-prefer
should i be focusing on that now
they're not good for combat classes and in fact they stop getting them past 60.
Aw~
Well ok. It's cool though. That way I can just have my favorite rather than the strongest, so I don't mind. Lol XD
if you want, crafters and gatherers are completely optional.
Can you make the right stick a target switch?
Technical question, ff14 launcher doesn't work on my main windows 10 user profile but works on secondary one I just created, anyone know how to make it work on the main one?
Wait, you did actually obtain your fantasia from your mail and use it, right?
are they necessary for getting a lot of money?
also they're a fairly big leveling investment since you ideally want to level up all of them
Its in my inventory, doni need to consume it?
Eeeh. Yes and no
yeah, but you don't really need "a lot" of money unless you're big on collecting stuff or buying new glamour items
They're not necessary to get money, they're just another method
Yes. It is a consumable.
After you get a job to 70 the others will level up quickly
Oh okay, i thought it automatically consuned when i changed appearence heh
I have nearly 200m Gil most of it was made before I levelled my crafters
hm?
Drink it, take off your gear and the option to change will be there when you relog
If you're talking about the armoury bonus you don't need to get a job to 70 or 80 for it to activate.
you simply just need a higher level job
Yeah between the buff you get for leveling lower level jobs, food and xp items that stuff goes quickly
Ah
how high IS the Armory bonus anyway?
100% until 70
100% for 1-69, 50% for 70-80
why do you want to level up all crafting and gathering jobs
how do I change how far out my camera can go on pc mouse and keyboard
They all feed each other materials.
Why wouldnât you
besides culinarian, they all feed crafting materials to each other
Something about each of them making supplies needed by another crafter class.
so it saves you money on buying materials whenever they're expensive
Plus you need other crafting skills anyways no
crafters don't have cross-class anymore
Ah
oh ok. are there any good guides for leveling them all up really fast
Nvm then
So can you make it where you can switch target with the other stick?
Like, exarchic gear, the current high end crafted gear, all takes items from 3+ DoH
What crafter should I lvl up first ?
So if you've only levelled one of them.. you're still reliant on the market.
All of them, simultaneously.

they share armour
low levels (1-20) are basically crafting one of each item in the crafting log for the first-time bonus. After that you got spammable options such as leve quests or the ishgard restoration.
it's convenient to level them up together
and at 50 you have collectables as an alternative to leves
Got 3 retainers, what's the best jobs to assign them?
and there's daily experience too such as the grand company or crafting beast tribes
ok. I'll probably start that stuff after i finish all the msqs
I wouldn't say it's "convenient" to level them all together.. but it's better than the alternative.
One combat, one each of a gathering.
depends on what you're wanting to get out of them. A major note is that they cannot outlevel you on your classes
so if you don't have miner or botanist leveled up at all they can't go past level 1
I guess I'll lvl up some crafters, I did too much msq
if you want the lazy route just go any and spam quick ventures
and hope you get lucky
Okay how do switch targets on pad? I canât figure it out. I tried clicking x but it wonât switch and itâs been screwing me over in dungeons
Fishing retainers have valuable stuff in some of their 16-hour ventures but they're pretty low drop rate and fishing retainers themselves are pretty sucky outside of that
also L1+R2/L2
might be reverse
ok ty!
Oh thank you
For the first 20 levels it's really easy -- all the items you need are at the guild's vendor and you get a massive bonus for first time crafts
This has been driving me mad
Heyo, whatâs the âbestâ DoH/DoL job for a retainer?
Hello! I just bought the starter edition of the game on steam thinking I could still enjoy the benefits of the trial edition (leveling to 60 for free), from what I know now that doesn't seem to be possible, what should i do?
