retainers can't be crafters.
As for gatherers it heavily depends on what you want out of them. They can't get regular materials particular fast so they're only good for unspoiled nodes and seeds
Fishers have a restricted hunting venture pool so most of their value is from the 16-hour ventures
“Restricted”?
only a few select fish instead of all possible fish
Should I also lvl up DoL ?
As Botanist and Miner retainers can gather basically everything you can
Ah, I see. Thanks!
outside of ephemeral/collectable stuff
Yeah, and save your levequests for DoH/DoL jerbs
Hello, im a scholar lvl 56 and i cant access to my class quest since "The Beast Within" the mission in lvl 50 and i don't know what is the problem
!faq whynojobquest
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.
Ok thanks ill check what is a levequest later
if I want to temporarily make a secondary character but my account has the "1 character subscription" is it possible to upgrade to the normal subscription, and then when I don't want to play the 2nd character anymore go back to the 1 character subscription?
world or DC?
world
oh cool so if i'm on jenova aether with a 1 character subscription i can make a character on like gilgamesh aether
what is the /merror off command in a macro?
it turns off errors that the macro creates
yup
for instance if something's on cooldown then you won't get "not ready yet" iirc
useful for single skill macros
I'm trying to purchase a house and is the devaluation timer the same as the purchase timer? I've been trying to buy it but it says it is not the timer 
deval is not the same as the buy timer
deval is automatic over time
buy is random
ah ok
Frek I don't have all day
Well, thank you soulskourer
question 2: if i have 2 characters on one world with a normal subscription, can i world transfer one of them and downgrade to a 1 character per world sub?
keep clicking

yes, but the 2nd character will be completely inaccessible
even if I transfer the 2nd's home world?
while im tabbed into act it shows but if i tab into any other window the dps meter in the bottom left doesnt show up

So I’m leveling my alt and I’m currently at level 70. I’ve looked at some guides to level and I keep seeing Bojza. What is that?
why cant i find the palace of the dead in my duty finder it says i did the quest
bozja is the bonus area you unlock after 5.3
if you've done eureka it's similar to that
fake, you need to go to quarrymill and talk to the expedition captain
you can't go in through duty finder unfortunately
Is there a class that let's you cut the tree to get woods? If so then what's the name?
if you go with "matched party" it will try to match you
botanist
but you don't actually cut the tree
It’s not in the duty finder, goto shroud then goto the quarry mill and find a npc beside a bridge in the town he has the rank of captain idk their name
@leaden ginkgo I dont wanna clog up #general-discussion so we talk here
go to plugins
Thanks soul!
ok
@shadow geyser
open this one
how expensive is the augmented eleos on the market?
Oh? Then how do you get woods with them?
Just from picture alone it looked like a plant which made me think of a farm. Didn't knew that was a wood gathering class though, lol XD
@shadow geyser
basically in the overworld there are nodes where you can click them and a menu comes up and you can gather whatever resources are tehre
open this
if you're trying to enable a new overlay hit new and you can pick from presets
botanist gets both wood related products and other plant products
if you want to handle wood, carpenter does a lot of wood stuff

do in-game timers persist if you log out and log back in?
oh there we go...you never choose an overlay to use so it wont show up
Oh the nodes. I did the mining, assuming it's the same nodes. And those nodes isn't on trees? Lol XD
wut?
it's the same process, but instead of being on random rocks they tend to be on trees/bushes
They have an overlay...considering they posted a screenshot showing Mopi Mopi working.
Reread the issue. The overlay disappears when ACT is not in focus, not that there is no overlay at all.
i did choose a preset? wym i chose mopimopi
wait then why doesnt it show a url when he opens it up
Awesome, lol XD
Because there's not enough room, that's why there is a scroll bar on the right.
ahhh
ok
Disappearing overlay is probably some combination of the setting "Automatically hide overlay..." enabled and/or the game being in full screen.
my game is in windowed borderless
Then, refer to former.
where do i see the auto hide thing
these right?
turning this off fixes it, but now shows everywhere. so how do i make it exclusive to ffxiv? maybe i didnt set something
yup that'd do it
it doesnt show cause it cant see an ffxiv instance
run it as admin
yeah
Hello folks, for steam version, do you pay for the sub on steam or mogstation?
nicee
@north venturenaruto profile pic ;o
you can probably turn "hide overlay when games in background back on now"
yeah i did @shadow geyser
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
ahh nice nice 
I wish you good parses then
a different topic, im lvling my 2nd character {mar into war ofc} hes lvl 8 but my dmg is lacking so i cant kill stuff to lvl to hit 15 tips?
either that or sell for some no gil
i got the lvl8 wep already
Does anyone here own the tactical assult commander for XIV? Is it any good/useful at all if so? I'm a lefty on console and have been looking at for a little while.
any effort and time to gear up is not worth it from lv8 to 15
So I've heard classes like Gladiator gets an advancement to Paladin. What about the professions than? Do profession gets a new name too since the game also calls that a class, or no?
No, you do have the option to become a 'specalist' in 3 of them though which gives you access to some abilities and certain recipes.
yeah i assumed as much but issue is i dont do dmg so im unsure how i can even get to 15 to start dungeons
how do i level jobs quickly early game?
are there some server problems rn? i can't see my character lol
msq
even if you level fast you'll still be locked by it
What are those 3?
Just the server being congested. Keep going to log in and you should get through.
no. any job
not all
You can pick any 3 you like, but can only choose 3 at a time. They can be changed using an item bought with scrips though.
Any advice on making a character on Famfrit? My friend has been refreshing all day trying to get in.
all jobs
Try during really odd/off hours. Current population has a direct effect on that.
no msq until i level up
yep that fixed it
Will the Malboro world ever open back up for new characters?
won't help with leveling alt job tho
A few coworkers are getting me into the game, but they're on Malboro
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
ahhh okay
correct, msq is one and done
so just keep looking
!faq altlvlguide
thanks @obsidian patio !
Yeah it’s the first story quest area in khodsia sorry I know Im spelling it wrong where you have to clear the blighted crops and most of my gear 260 item level
Oh so that's why it's called specalist. It's like making you be better at some more than other.
That's pretty cool. Have option to pick all, but be the best at only 3. Kinda like in real life, which feels like building my own character even after creation.
That's so cool, lol XD
I love the freedom and character development, lol XD
seems no good for low level
correct
guess i;m stuck with arcanist even tho I don't like it
hey guys quick one, ive started leveling a 2nd class. im level 57, once ive done my daily duties. whats the best way to level. keep queing for dungeons, or do the squadron npc dungeons? theyre only lvl 25 btw, thanks
!faq altlvlguide
so the confirm action in ffxiv sometimes select the chat box, how do i disable this feature?
oh ty
how do i get my alt jobs caught up to my starter so i can use them for the story
it can't be that hard to get to level 14
See a couple posts up
again alt job faq assumes high level
Fair point.
So Hunt Logs, Blue Quests, Leves, Optional quests
spam out those purple missions maybe those give pretty good xp
^ it’s not gonna be instant but lv to 14 takes … no time
to the point where no fancy trick is worth it ….
Hunt logs will do it quick
how do hunt logs work?
Also, when leveling.. ALWAYS make sure to at the very least have a cheap XP food buff active and FC too if possible.
lv5 and 10 job quests are probably 5 level worth of exp …
Is it against the rules to ping all the people who helped me and thank them?
the log shows you some enemies, you kill the enemies, you get bonus xp
Pinging someone should be fine, just don't ping everyone
no, but theres no need to ping them, they're prolly reading it rn 
I always suggest people in my FC to use this for super cheap XP while leveling.
They costs next to nothing on MB, and give the xp buff.
or boiled egg
but fruit is better for you ig ..
Boiled egg is better stats, but much more expensive on my server at 12 gil ea
3% doesn't seem like much
It adds up, trust me.
When you need like 20M xp to level 3% is a big boost
Especially since it's passive and you don't need to do anything to earn it
3% from 1 to 80 is about 2 ~ 4m exp iirc
Plus if you have the FC buff on top of that it's even better.
but anyway it’s 3% more than nothing
And add things like friendship circlet, or WoL helm
so have some fruit
true still need to find a fc
What server you on?

Hey does anyone know how to remove stuff from my crossbar on the PS5?
R2+touchpad
And then double the actions crossbar spot
So R2+X twice to remove the action placed there
Any advice on levelling up in late ARR? I'm level 47 and my next MSQ is 49. I've tried Palace, FATEs, dungeons...none really gave much exp
Have you tried daily roulette?
Nedrick knows of a place where a skilled adventurer might hone <span class="alternative-container"><span class="alternative">her</span><span class="alternative">his</span></span> skills.

I did my duty roulette, I'll go get aurum vale.
For the first two nier raids, do you get a coin once per run, or once per week?
huh, are there 2 ways to unlock AV?
Per run
SWEET, thank you
i dont recall unlock AV for myself doing that quest
Yes, the other method is through grand company quests if you didn’t unlock it through the quest I named
Same for Dzemael Darkhold
Which is why most people refer to it as DD
That worked, thank you!
Alright so i got to PoD floor 51 so whenever i reset my progress itll take me back to 51?
yes
does anyone use a midi piano for bard performances? if so, could you help me with my keyboard?
is one-time password makes you don't have to type in your password every time you boot the launcher up?
is the regalia event the same event discounting noctis card to 10k from 200k?
Hello all, i am new to FF14 and i was wondering if someone wants to help me get started and explain some things to me?
!faq newplayertips
if i buy the starter edition, will the complete edition be discounted if i buy it later?
Hello, I read that Coil of Bahamut should be done at max level these days. Will I be missing any relevant parts of the story by doing this? I can't tell
will it give me the rest of the expacs tho?
nope
ty 🙂
yes
How do I unlock access to Lavender Beds?
you can access it by traversing directly to it from central shroud
from mirror planks pier
Oh thanks, was tryna access it via Old Gridania
alternatively, if you complete the quest "where the heart is (lavender beds)
you can tele there directly from new gridania
Ohhh okay ty
the npc should be at bentbranch
in central shroud
that has the quest for you

generally has an icon like this
Found her ty!
how do I do ishgard restoration? Trying to level armorer.
you mean unlocking the firmament?
have you read this article?
best relic weapon stats for dnc?
it might outline the things you can do a lot faster than I could explain any of them
what can I do with all this dyes
so i wanna reset my PoD back to floor 51 but it says ill begin all the way back at 1 whats up with that?
this isn't really the best channel for that, so it might be difficult to give you an answer you want
I have not, I'll gie it a look
but nonetheless, looking at the balance, this is one of the best gearsets for end game: https://etro.gg/gearset/e4cd5da5-6365-4e30-bd26-8e5fadf8a17f
you can see the relic weapon spread here:
DMG: 134
DEX: 725
VIT: 836
DH: 358
CRT: 523
DET: 301
as well as materia melds
(for the rest of the set)
did you clear floor 50 and continue the story to unlock floor 51?
yes
Im on 61 rn
when you start a new save file

it will ask
"start from floor 1"
"start from floor 51"
so you can decide on making a new file
yes, you should be fine in restarting it
oof ok
and you can start from floor 51
imma trust u wit this
if in doubt, just create a new save file
and see if it lets you start from floor 51
deep dungeon has two save slots
matched means you will go in (and be queued) with four other players
my personal opinion?
never
potd is a terrible way to level a job, you should only do it if you actually enjoy the deep dungeon content
oof
you can keep them on your chocobo saddlebag if you want
then dye any piece of dyable armour/glamour with it through the glamour dresser
It aint bad
but that's just my opinion of course
i live in the 51-60 levels of potd
😔
been using it to level a lot of my dps classes
Merely roleplay
Thats what im doin
Ahh I don't have that bag yet
My inventory is a mess
other than potd, there's really only fates and sidequests
your guardian determines what additional gathering crystal element you can get with miner/botanist
feel free to hang on to them if you want, some of them is easily bought back at dye vendors
It hardly matters anyway and no one actually farms crystals
Thats fine but its a bot-dominated market so prices are usually really low.
If i skip the side quests will i fall behind or anything? am i able to skip them?
they unlock content or features
ok thank you for the help
So any suggestions on what to do to lvl up alts?
lots of different ways
!faq altlevelling
Can you queue for extreme?
(but this is PvP)
caster have cast bars, phys ranged have full mobility
!faq altlvlguide
most physical ranged dont have cast times, and smn is the most mobile of the casters but still have spells they need to cast
you can queue for them yes, but queue times will vary especially for older extremes
you are better off preforming or using the party finder
Is there a way to trade my Nezha lady attire if I just switched from female to male character?
did you check the calamity salvager
I think they added a way to exchange mismatched gender gear
through them
It's not listed in the female to male exchange
Me and a friend are doing the sephiroth fight unsynced as a healer and a tank. When the yellow pillars show up even if I stand inside them I instantly died and my friend takes 0 damage. Is there a mechanic we are missing?
unfortunate, your only option then is to contact support
for that fight in particular
you have two different debuffs
one that increases damage from magical attacks
and one from physical attacks
the towers are both physical
therefore, one of you will always die
^
that contact is designed for eight players
if you do it with less, you need to adapt the fight
invuln with tanks is a way to do it
but not consistent
Green and yellow are Sephirot’s gimmick
Green go to green, yellow go to yellow, if you mess up you die
What is the second option referring to?
Drakengard 2
Idk what happens during Drakengard 2 since Taro didn’t direct it
Right, wasn't drajenhsrd 2 noncanon
Caim kills death
Thanks autocorrect
That’s all you need to know
Every role is expected to do dps
All I can think of for the second option is ||what’s her face elf becoming the Shadowkeeper or whatever to save the Thirteenth||
Tanks: aggro + dps
Dps: dps
Heals: healing + dps
could be ||minfilia|| too
dps : dps and not die 
Warrior gets a skill the lets it do a chainsaw skill with no gauge loss
Doubt
so yes, tanks do get to DPS
idk
But you will never see a dps or healer tanking
unless the tank is dead 
you are tank. you que as tank. you do tank, you are tank.
if there is a 2nd tank then you ask they want to main tank or they want to off tank
yes
SO I've played FF a lot, but never really crafted before. I'm trying to get my crafters up to 80 asap any tips?
main tank is the tank who's dealing with the boss most of the time, off tank is there to deal with ads or help with tank swap
less party responsibility, yes
all crafters in 6 hours?
Ishgard restoration is only available after you've played through Dragonsong MSQ right?
nothin wrong with that, just keep an eye on what tanks do and it'll be easy enough to learn
yep
hahahaha thats exactly why i like dps too
"Players must first complete the main scenario quest "Litany of Peace.""
when will they come out with the lvl 80 boost? i don't want to lvl an alt XD
Is there a target cap on aoe skills?
Pretty much no
Do both of us need to be on the towers or only the person with the yellow buff?
You’d never see the limit in normal circumstances
Nah not that high
Feels like 32 mobs or so
You only see it in mass pulls in undersized dungeons
Hey sorry for asking again, but there are a lot of side quests, I'm worried I'll fall behind and start dying if i dont do them
nah
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
just keep up with job quests
Are there things we can only get from white crafting scrips? If there are, is there a simple way i can find out?
I read somewhere that it was 16 but that was 4 years ago
Not a chance. If you keep doin your job quests and Main Story Quests you should be overleveled relative to the story actually.
16 felt accurate but I’ve hit more at once with BLU stuff
@modest igloo @dense hound Ok thanks for the help
So it probably got upped at some point
Yeah just wondering what the actual number was
Cause I always thought there was no aoe cap, so was a bit of a shock to find out
Basically everything but the materia and kinda the aethersands for gatherers
Warrior Cross-Skills recommendations?
pretty much
MCH has no procs
WHM is really good
AST only buffs DPS now
tank stance is ez pz
its there
Holy crap, ty...
ah
At least it's party wide...
That sounds terrible
It's something you do as part of your general rotation instead of a long term cooldown
They have a direct hit buff skill for 20%, but that's a three minute cooldown
Also their songs don't affect themselves for some fucking reason Yoshida san please fix
Do I unlock idyllshire to unlock 60 poetic gear or clear HW?
idyllshire
Got it so its just more sustain damage than to just crit buff and pray to the RNG gods?
Ye
it's DoT based
20% chance every three seconds per DoT to do some neat Bard thing
depends on which song you're singing at the time.
upgrades to 40% at some point
64 when the dots upgrade
So where in idyllshire do I buy the 60 poetic gear?
The big building in the center
I have noticed that Tanks in general are wayy more aggressive than when I left(2014). It used to be Warrior was just a Fragger-Tank but even the Paladin seems pretty aggressive
yep
They all look pretty big...
metagame has evolved
later dungeons are made for players to keep pulling the whole time
Nvm found it
weapon vendor is on the far right in the building
The item lvl are suppose to be 240 right?
270 for shire
For shire gear it should be 270
It’s DOM/DOW II
Oh I see ty
That makes sense. So as someone who plans to do Raids. I like Warrior because of the self heal. For later content is it possible to be a Warrior Main Tank or do teams prefer the utility of a Paladin
Every tank is viable in all content
all tanks can be main tank
It really is down to what you, personally, enjoy.
hell WAR is an awesome MT
Now, you could successfully main tank as Warrior using the same brainpower it takes for a mouse to breathe.
The tanks are super well balanced currently
And if that ain't your style, there's other options.
How soon will I be able to switch my class? because I picked conjurer, and I thought it was a summoner, but I don"t like playing healers, I want to play a tank.
Basically within 2-4% of each other in damage and have roughly the same mitigation kit with some flavor differences
After completing your level 10 class quest
@obsidian patio Ok thanks
I love Warrior I just like the fact that I can sustain myself pretty well TBH. I feel like it should allow for more flexible Support DPS roles
comps
How hard would you say Extreme Raid Content is if that is the case?
It would kinda suck if you had double Scholar, but it's workable.
ye thats why i include a no dupe cluase
I've seen a group of all tanks clear current Extreme content, so anything is possible.
fuck 8 tanks beat UCOB
Extreme tier content is like, the perfect tempurature of difficulty (for a number of players) if youre not raiding 3 nights a week 👌
Finally where things start to be a challenge but you dont have to bash your head against a wall for a month and then reset your progress each week. Delicious
Tanks are balanced at 80
I just purchased a fantasia / outfit on mogstation for the wrong character
can support fix this?
Tanks synced to 70 is a bit.. unbalanced
Ok cool so its not the (Break out the Damage Cal) uber hard levels of like Wow Classic
No, that would be certain Savage raids and the Ultimates.
correct
Yo been all in on this crafting stuff, wanna get one of them to 80 asap, what do you think is the quickest way to get from 73 to 80 with like bad gear?
@languid barn wow classic was NOT hard lol
Dwarf dailies
buying levequest items off the MB
The original wow?
@languid barn yes
Stop it
ok cool thanks
Dwarf Dailies being best = cheapest / lowest effort and Levequests being best = absolute fastest, I think
Dont forget your daily GC handin
What is one class you would like to see be brought to FFXIV?
Reaper - oh WAIT
from other ffs?
chocobo wrangler
Yes
time battlemage from 12
Time mage
tanky crossbow using time.mage
make it a tank
first ranged tank
have it use shields too
Id also like a holy knight thats not a tank tbh
Spellblade
I want another Rogue or Healer
im hoping for holy drg
People have been asking for Geomancer healer for quite some time, but nothing yet. And I dont think so, not with sage
Stardiver but holy
Sage really came out of left field
stardiver but blindingly white
I'd vote for Rune Fencer but I'm not sure its different enough from DRK, and we got GNB recently so I think thats out too
Old player here but did they fix the Dragoon's Combos taking 36 years to finish
Its 5-part combo now
Thank god
Estenien but with clean armor
SO much has changed
you just do buff +dot -> full thrust combo
repeat
drg gcds NEVER change from that
we need a hammer class
its an infinite loop
I was about to go Puglist and grab the heal skill
Buff+dot -> two positionals -> full thrust -> two positionals
ogcds are where it gets funky
Repeat
Funky good, though - DRG is quite fun
Sword Saint
Hey guys I have a question
Youre in the right place
these level 50 quests will be the death of me
What are some things I should farm as a botanist for money? Like that’s the money makers
When do the servers usually go down for patch day?
No one wants to divulge their way of making money
Things that are needed for class quests, just because people are lazy

Should I bother buying poetic earrings if I have the pre-order earrings?
Well that’s two dlc away so it be fine
yep :>
how do I increase my squadron rank?
i'm trying to get them to rank 3 so i can finally group with them
What's best way to level 40-50 DPS? Squadrons? These queue times are killing me
POTD is good for levelling classes at around that level
just spam levels 51-60 and you're good to go
What’s a good way to farm poetic for 60 gear?
doing roulettes :>

Long queue time gg
do the memories for 515 relic have a higher drop rate if you solo the fates?
its kinda late in EU rn
nope
so im not competing with the other people killing it
Not at all
ok i guess just rng then
i solod a couple and got a memory on most of them
is the drop rate common knowledge?
gold completion = memories in HW fates iirc
thanks
Its like 15% drop rate?
Completion medal should contribute to that
Gold obviously being the best
Fate contribution is based on enmity, so you can often cheese it with a tank and spamming your ranged attack
job quests give weapon 100% + a piece of my selection... can I not repeat it or get the other pieces in another way? seems like waste I can only pick 1
they're vendor gear
damn really
so dumb question, how do I get to the ishgard housing placE?
@maiden cypress I believe there should be a 
I unlocked it but I don't remember how to get there
Oh
ah ishgard restoration?
are better medals just from completing faster?
can anyone explain where i go in isgard to get the MGP book things?
for some reason the orchestrion roll in my house won't play the playlist i have or any sample music outside of being in the orchestrion roll menu
i've tried logging off and on, and it seems to be working in other people's houses
does anyone know what i can do to fix it
or like the MGP cards or something
The Firmament is not on the list :<
Oh then you tp to The Brume
And head left until you see an NPC near the entrance to The Pillars
@jolly rune unrelated but is aroused emu your hellsguard name
@random girder idk what that is so no lol
ahh ok ok lmao
found it ty everyone
you have to select a track to force it to play after you've fiddled with the playlist and type of play
which in general is better for old synced content, regardless of cohealer, diurnal or noct
trying to get my crafters up to 80 >.<
i force it to play and it samples it
I'd just go diurnal if its easy content
but when i leave the menu it goes back to the normal housing music
diurnal covers more situations overall since regen is powerful extra healing over time, but it doesn't really matter as long as you're not nocturnal with a scholar
You need to click it twice
i tried right clicking and that worked
This is probably a dumb question but I'm royally confused. I'm playing on Balmung and got invited to an event that's happening in the lavender beds in Mateus? Is there a way for me to get to that without paying or creating another character?
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
with DC travel later you'll be able to go to any event in any server!
Oh wow! Thank you so so much!
yep, go have fun!

I unsubbed 11/25/2020 is it worth coming back for whatever reason? E8S literally burned me the f*** out. I mean real bad. I told myself I was gonna wait for 6.0 to try the new pew pew healer but it's been a long time so I thought I'd check. Not sure I remember at all how to play WHM.

Did they added any jobs or profession aka classes when they transcend from 1.0 to 2.0?
Arcanist was the big add when A Realm Reborn launched - White Mage was the only healer in the before times
Awesome, lol XD
All other base classes (including crafter/gathers) were there before! Only in expacs did they start adding new jobs again
Actually thats not true - Ninja came out in the middle of ARR patches somewhere. Very random and interesting
Lolwhat no
12s is leagues easier than 8s
Since it has a checkpoint
no way 8s can be topped unless its an ult. maybe. At least my PTSD says so.
how do I get rid of this message constantly popping up?
I see, lol XD
Awesome, lol XD
Do I need Shadowbringers to be above level 60? (I have purchased the starter edition with ARR + Heavensward)
Oh dang, did I waste EXP if I gained some while at level 60?
Any EXP you gained at 60 is gone yes
But if you're in Heavensward patch quests they barely give any XP anyway
But Stormblood quests should get you up to 70 no problem

How to buy my ride ie companion?

!faq mountguide
I saw a blue mage that had a skill that shot out a bunch of blue swords at a target. Anyone know what that skill is or where to get it?
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
yeah i am in say

Thought it was shiva's and farmed her skill but turned out not to be it
Now I have no idea
Deals physical damage with a potency of 220.
Additional Effect: Paralysis
Duration: 30s
An arch demon specialty, Abyssal Transfixion weaves aether into a globe of blades that are then plunged inward to pierce a target in unison. This harrowing experience generally has the effect of paralyzing said target with a visceral terror, making it an invaluable addition to one's arsenal.

I dont have FF but im interesting in just doing the dungeons and raids and paying to skip the story and leveling but just learning my skillset. Is it worth it ?
yeah i thought it was like my little faerie heads up display or something
LOL
I mean, you could, but that’s a minimum of $50 spent
ye only l will grant you succor; i wont …
Personally, even with only kinda being invested in the story, it’s much more fulfilling to level the character naturally
Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.
Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS
Because then you gain a better understanding of the rotation, you haven’t spent $50 on a class you might potentially not like, and there’s also a lot of content that’s fighting and not just fetch quests in MSQ
i got the story skip but then just leveled through dungeosn
if you are on a preferred world you level so fast, can't imagine the level skip is that worth it
Thank you I'll farm that^^
I come from having one character skipped and one naturally leveled, and let me tell you, I care about my naturally leveled character so much more
Like I actually care about learning that rotation because I’ve been doing it since day 1, whereas on the skip (where I skipped a different class), I feel like learning the rotation is a daunting task, and that I’m not as compelled to do it.
Is there any way to quit my current map exploration?
What do you mean?
i activate the wrong map for treasure hunt
Ohhh. You mean treasure maps
My entire HUD kinda got stretched for some reason, partly even going outside the borders of my screen
but the hitboxes are still where they should be
good lord all of my character settings and UI reset when I reinstalled windows. OOF. Where are those settings stored? Maybe I backed them up...
My Documents > My Games > FFXIV folder
so if I want to click on something in the bottom left I have to aim to the top right of it because that's where it's normally supposed to be
did you try restarting?
yes
is there a set keybind for mounting?
unfortunately there is only one resolution in the format of my screen available
in lodestone is there a way to know if a player comes from a free trial?
or if I have them in party?
but if I pick 1440p and have it stretched to my screen size
you can drag the mount guide onto a keybind that you set from the keybind menu (esc->keybind->hotbar)
anything in the mount guide can be dragged (specific/favoritedmounts etc)
anyone know at what time it would be possible to get into a preferred world? like low pop hours?
yeah you should wait til midnight or early morning for that DC
thanks
yea, if I change my resolution it doesn't affect the UI whatsoever
changing the size of hud elements or moving them around doesn't help either
Borderless?
tried all 3 modes
Might want to ask in #technology-discussion then
at lvl 50 can i switch into a Samurai from Ninja?
isn't #technology-discussion specifically in the "NON FFXIV" category tho
I'm not sure what steps you've taken so far, so humor me for a bit. Did you check your system>display settings?
Is your resolution set to a custom or a preset? Are your video drivers up to date?
thats good to hear thanks
I tried a custom resolution too, it all just changes the way the game is displayed but doesn't seem to affect the UI at all
Does HW have a post story like ARR? And what level will it be around, hoping to get some of my dps to 60.
I have the latest driver
does your sv has bonus xp to 70 ?
can i get sophia mount with tokens or only rng
What’s SV?
Your world*
Idk I just usually grind on yellow quest or lv50 DF.
I do daily bonus of duty roulette (not all) I'm at 3.2 HW msq
What is your high resolution UI setting on?
I tried that too, just makes the individual elements bigger
problem still persists
@primal relic this
you would see it under your Other status element
What patch were we at Nov 2020? I need to find an MSQ recap or something, forgot everything
if you're on a job below 70
What does your HUD layout look like? Like ticking the gear next to the current UI element. Go ahead and change your default UI size in the display settings to 120% for now
Leveling Roulette gives more Exp than 50/60/70 Rouleete, right? I can't tell since it doesn't show a number.
yes
do you guys hit up the book in the Inn to recap after you unsub for a year or other long period?
the disparity between where I have to click and where the ui element visually is gets worse the further from the middle it gets
Yea but they tend to answer tech related questions
It seems like this might be a combination of things going on in the HUD. I'd try putting it on 200% (WQHD) in the high resolution settings, and then restart it and see if it changes anything
how do i check my ping to different data centers?
setting it to a 16:9 resolution makes the problem almost unnoticeable
but definitely still there in the edges
You can go into your HUD layout and move everything around

is there a reason why the same skill speed would feel comfortable for GNB but slow for WAR?
would it be worth adding sks to the WAR? or is it just mental
Any BLM experts here? When using the modified JP opener after I cast my first Fire IV followed by triplecast I run out of mana
When I set this up the elements all used to be well within my screen space
What the button for limit break?
are you sure you're casting F4, and not like F3 again or something?
That may be the issue
Its weird i instantly go to 1400 mana
it shows a little elixir
but idk where to buy it
thought that was the issue
it's not an elixir
what server should i switch to for more high end activities\
it's an intelligence potion, current strongest one is grade 4 tincture of intelligence (HQ). For casual content or just practicing, don't worry about using pots and just skip that
Can you sell rewards from gold saucer on the market?
it's just where you would put it if you were using it
Thanks u very much
Press P -> General, drag Limit Break onto hotbar
Yay it worked, I was using fire III like a dumbass
blm does very high dmg
so really new here thought I'd ask if theres any good pointers people have got and if linkshells are important at all?
perhaps #discord-feedback if you believe the data center ip needs an update @tranquil oriole
When did this start? Like is this from a new monitor?
It started yesterday when I booted up the game, nothing really changed from the time before
To get a better idea
This is really odd tbh. I had something like this happen when I got a new monitor and I had to change things in the UI scaling and manually edit the HUD elements to fix it
instances are cross server within your data center, so specific server doesn't really matter all that much

*damn
There goes my dreams of carting my friend around this monday
I cant afford the lunar qhale mount but I have 800k mgp now
well, I'll try deleting any config files for ff14 I can find and if the issue still persists I guess I'll have to reinstall
I'm out of ideas honestly. Hopefully tech can come up with something else
Out of curiosity
What are the odds that there will be a sale on jump potions
I heard mentors cam kick other mentors out of thr NN
If the mentor is kicked, do they lose mentorship
does anyone know where to find the aether raiding discord servers? i want to start mount farming after finishing SB for the kamuys >_<
And be unable to reenter the nn
That... sounds like its very abuseable
I recently became battle mentor and I worry about this since I heard it was a thing with trolla
Sorry was in DF, but my world doesn’t have road to 70.
Can someone remind me of a part of the story in 5.3: ||I remember WOL teleports back and goes to the crystal tower and I think revives Graha Tia. I don't remember how he died can someone remind me?||. I have not played 5.4 yet, watching the cutscenes in the Inn but this is sort of out of context.
believe there should be something linked over in #resources
@sturdy mason go to spoiler channel
And risk getting spoilers for stuff I haven't played yet? No thanks. I was told last year it's OK to ask story questions here.
Oh
Whats the default keybind to take screenshots? On PC
PRT SCN
Thank you!!
5.3 big spoilers ||He was slowly getting crystallised by the Tower due to its extended use/abuse by Elidibus. At the end of SoS he ended up being fully crystallised, but before handing us his memories and soul||
@sturdy mason
ok I sort of remember that. Thank you
Is it better to just ignore the alliance raids entirely for the haunting/vexacious memories of the dying and just farm fates?
Yes
hello! quick question. Which DPS classes are best for dancer dance partner?
i'm on console and don't have a parser
!faq dncpartner
For an accurate answer, upload a log to Hint's partner calculator. Note that the calculator will support logs from lower level content, including the level 70 ultimates.
Otherwise, use the following list updated for 5.5--note that it is made in a gear/skill vacuum, and that it may vary depending on fight:
(The following priority list is for level 80 content only)
- SAM
- NIN
- MNK / BLM (crit build)*
- DRG / SMN
- RDM
- MCH
- BRD
- DNC
*Note: Speed BLM was not formally ranked, but is likely somewhere around RDM.
You generally want to dance a needle job
*meele
But sam is highest priority since their damage potential is higher than the others
not necessarily just a melee job, but roughly so--priority above is what you should look for, assuming equal skill and gear, etc
Ay yo, as a summoner main im offended that we're on the same tier as dragoon
I'd look at gear too. A BiS Ninja is likely going to do more than a mediocre SAM
And Ninja benefits a lot due to how TA windows align with Dancer
just give it to whoever gives you the most gil
While nobody says use act
If you play astro or dancer
Its VERYYyyy helpful to see wo benefits from the buffs
Just don't be obnoxious about it
AST you want to give cards based on burst windows anyway
Yes but some people freestyle or underperform so you give it to someone else
Ah wait I misread
I meant
I misreaaadddddddd
You could give a DRG entering a buffed life vs giving a SAM who just used their Tsubame+Shoha
One time I gave the dance buff to a whm because the samurai was doing incredibly bad dps
But thats AST optimization and most of the time you're better off giving highest DPS yea
Generally use act if you want to improve or see who to prioritize in raising or buffing first
Just
Don't make it a big deal whe using act
If I purchase the game, will my data stats be the same from Free Trial?
Yes
Yes
are you able to do more than 3 pixie dailies a day, i thought you could but i dont see more than 3 quests
Only 3
You jus lose the free trial indefinetly
Goddamn, I mean wow.
Yeaaa
What would be my main menu
Shadowbringers
LOL
The shadowbringers login
That's gonna be a sick screen
If I were you
how would someone play with a low level friend that you finally got to try ff14 out? im like lvl 60, is the best option to just make a new toon and do msq with them?
Milk your free trial for all you can before buying
it says im ranked 4 with pixies, i dont see more than 3 dailies
I heard there was a free race change since the male viera were introduced, but I can't find anything about it. Anyone know if that's true or not?
No I mean when you just ranked up
That is a really really good point
Make an alt job near their level@lunar shale
If you just ranked up, it gives 3 more for the day
If you want to progress but still level with them
You obviously can't do more regardless if your allowance is 0
Making a new job near their level is ideal
i haven't heard anything about this
hows that work tho if ive already done MSQ up to almost heavensward
Alt jobs start at 1
level with other means
Only exception are expansion jobs
i.e dailies/spam dungeons if healer or tank/etc
i want to try a DK out since i want to test tanking, think it starts at 30 right
it's only the day you rank up that there is more than 3 dailies?
Yes
you need HW for drk
im currently a DNC lol
Are guildhests useful for leveling a job before it can do dungeons?
No
No
just do your hunting log
Unless wait
for early levels
