[faint flare]

Those aren't exclusive

Go do the proto ultima super fates in Azya lla

Everything except the earrings (and maybe 1 other item) in moogle tome events are gotten elsewhere

[halcyon oyster]

So the earrings are gone forever, but not anything else?

[knotty lily]

GATEs are every 20 yup - I wouldnt bet on 190k in one day tho. Do as much as you can, complete your challenge log under the Gold Saucer tab for extra MGP every week.

[faint flare]

Earrings and falcon mount

[misty leaf]

got 2 lines in wondrous trails for the first time. Is the silver certificate better than 100k MGP?

[faint flare]

Everything else is obtainable elsewhere

[patent cave]

If I bought a level 70 boost, do I continue the main quest or?

[halcyon oyster]

I think I got the Falcon mount some other way, but shame about the earrings.

[knotty lily]

Before you collect the rewards, talk to Khloe and see what she sells for silvers. Then you can choose for yourself!

[flint pollen]

you will have your class quests complete but you still have to do the msq from the beginning

but there is a quest boost too if it is still available online

[misty leaf]

how much are the cracked stellacluster/crystals worth?

[flint pollen]

but that is another item buy

[light lion]

What’s the most efficient way to get poetics at lvl 70?

[faint flare]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

[faint flare]

See video

[faint flare]

Whatever the price of tier 8 materia is

[boreal aurora]

iirc gathering nodes are personalized in ff14 right except the one timed ones

[faint flare]

All nodes are

Included timed

[open rivet]

all are, even the position of the timed nodes differ slightly per person

[boreal aurora]

oh

[faint flare]

You can't "steal" nodes

[open rivet]

server under pressure, you can still log in

[knotty lily]

Dont worry about it, just the servers choking - you can still click you char and login

[warm snow]

Just continue logging in

[sinful holly]

wasn't there a site where you could click on what timed nodes were about to pop and a little sound would play?

[elder forge]

I can't log in actually

[open rivet]

garland tools, ye

[elder forge]

it crashes the game for some reason

consistently

[knotty lily]

xivclock, garland tools, teamcraft - a bunch

[knotty lily]

Get an error message? Are you on trial?

[elder forge]

yea

[ionic linden]

anyway to get higher score for fashion weekly challenge?

[indigo agate]

Do I gain anything by doing different tradecraft leves compared to just doing the same one repeatedly?

[sinful holly]

yeah xiv clock, the one that looked really sketch for a bit

ty both

[viscid vigil]

my friend is new and cant click on the recommended quests

[viscid vigil]

is there anything he should do? Its greyed out

[halcyon oyster]

What were the previous exclusive Itinerant Moogle event exclusives, before the Namazu Earrings?

[elder forge]

I press ok and the game crashes

[knotty lily]

Its usually better to pick a certain one and go for it, depending on your level. Focus one for 5 levels, move on, etc.

[open rivet]

there's achievements for doing different ones.
but other than that no - spam the most profitable one

[indigo agate]

Alright, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

I decided that I want to hate myself, and really want to farm the Elemental Armor of Fending from Eureka before going into Shadowbringers. How hard is the grind these days? Also are there any discords for Eureka, since I heard that you should probably do it with other people?

[knotty lily]

Yup, the world is literally TOO full for even trial players to join up. So so so many new players from the WoW exodus they cant handle any more (and servers have to prioritize subbed players ofc.
Just gotta keep trying, sorry bud

[elder forge]

I just wish the game wouldn't close every time

[misty leaf]

wow materia VIII is cheap, how come I thought VIII is the highest

[open rivet]

it's been a while since it's been available,
and the longer it is available the lower the price will go

[elder forge]

I guess I'll just buy it then

[misty leaf]

i see

[knotty lily]

We havent really had this problem before in the game, we've never had so many trial and new players join at once. Everyone cane in the last two weeks, They werent ready for it I think

[leaden ginkgo]

How relevant will be bis from shadowbringers in endwalker?

[faint flare]

Lasts you until 85

[knotty lily]

Non relevant after 85

[faint flare]

And you'll clear things faster

[elder forge]

I think getting the starter edition and then endwalker makes the most sense

[leaden ginkgo]

Was thinking about getting bis on whm, because im planning to swap main job to sage

[elder forge]

I'm quite casual so the content should be enough for me

[leaden ginkgo]

but dont know if it's worth it

[faint flare]

Might as well stay on trial

So you're not paying sub

But same content

[still imp]

I was wondering if downranking healing spells is a thing in this game. I just received cure II on my conjurer
and was wondering if there's any use in binding the key

[knotty lily]

I think they want to get around the Free Trial login limitation?

[patent cave]

I just bought a level boost, and my xp bar is locked, anyone has an idea why?

[faint flare]

No there's no Downranking

Cure 1 and Cure 2 are different and function differently

[leaden ginkgo]

level boost without story boost?

[patent cave]

yes

[knotty lily]

You'll want to bind basically all your spells, not only is Cure 1 good but even at level 80 you'll be doing level 30 content, so you'll need it.

[faint flare]

Cure 1 is a trash warmer and Cure 2 is a good boy

[elder forge]

I can't buy endwalker if I don't previously own the starter edition at least, right?

[leaden ginkgo]

You need to finish the story to go further

[still imp]

oh I see

[patent cave]

@leaden ginkgo thx a lot

[faint flare]

You can't preorder it no. But the complete edition will have endwalker when it comes out

[elder forge]

I don't think the complete edition will still be 40 bucks after the release of endwalker, or will it?

[faint flare]

The price never changes

[elder forge]

ah

[faint flare]

It's always 60$

Outside of sales ofc

[thorny dune]

Do you need endwalkers to get access to bunboys on release?

[elder forge]

It's 40 euro here and it doesn't say anything about a sale

[turbid dragon]

Is it safe to compress FFXIV or could that break it?

[thorny dune]

You can compress it?

[turbid dragon]

using CompactGUI yeah I guess

[thorny dune]

Try it and find out I guess

Or google it

[elder forge]

If the price is going to increase I'd rather buy the starter edition now and then endwalker

for a total of 45 euro

[twilit arch]

it won't

[elder forge]

I'm just very surprised at the idea that anything is cheaper where I live

[naive kraken]

yes

[elder forge]

I'm used to pay a minimum of 20% more for everything

[naive kraken]

what, you mean $1 doesn't equal 1 GBP doesn't equal 1 Euro?

[late dagger]

This is a stupid question but, how do friends work in ff14?

[primal relic]

For stuff like loyal housemaid where it gives +30% exp does it work if it’s glamoured?

[turbid dragon]

You right click them and add them as friends

[late dagger]

Can I have friends from different servers?

[turbid dragon]

Yes!

Same Data Centre, different server.

[elder forge]

that's what publisher seem to think because the 60 usd games cost me 60 euro

[late dagger]

Oh cool!

[naive kraken]

if the piece that gives XP is glamored, yes. glamoring better gear to the XP glamour doesn't work

[twilit arch]

no

you have to be wearing the gear to get the bonus set

[primal relic]

I don’t understand

Lol

[turbid dragon]

You need to literally wear the gear.

As armour

not glamoured

[primal relic]

Thought so

[turbid dragon]

I suggest you get a friend to heal/regen you whilst you attract high levle mobs and then they kill them

[faint flare]

Which makes the xp boost basically useless

[primal relic]

But wouldn’t it pointless since it’s Lv1?

[faint flare]

The xp boost is for show

[primal relic]

Oh well

[faint flare]

The armour itself is garbage

[primal relic]

Wait is it any xp?

[naive kraken]

consider it mob xp boost (ULTIMATE SAVAGE EXTREME)

[primal relic]

Crafting too?

[faint flare]

You'll get xp

But youre literally paper

[turbid dragon]

if you can get someone to regen/heal you whilst you take wild mobs aggro and then they kill once they take aggro, the boost is kinda worth ti

[primal relic]

Would be good if it applies to any XP like for crafting classes

[naive kraken]

you'd still not have any crafting stats

other than accessories

[turbid dragon]

maybe, but you'd have no crafting stats which means you wouldnt be able to craft higher level gear which would give more EXP

[primal relic]

Fk yea...

[knotty lily]

They almost shoudlnt have put the stats on that set, tbh

[primal relic]

Oh well, fashion is endgame. Thanks guys!

[naive kraken]

its not as bad for early ARR but get to HW and its pretty much a death sentence XD

[twilit arch]

i mean you wouldn't be using it past 30 anyway

because the exp bonus stops at 30

[frigid raven]

i just started HW and im chasing this heretic through the snow, but i killed him instead. Am I just stuck now

[faint flare]

Just keep walking forward

In the direction he was running

[turbid dragon]

@twilit arch tbh when you do the leeching exp thing and have earrings that giev exp and etc as well, it's funny to just go from 1 to 5, then 8... then 10... instantly 😂

[faint flare]

You'll come to a shack

[frigid raven]

ok thanks. i ran forward to this house but nothing happened so thought i was stuck and had to restart

[faint flare]

That is where you're going

Go inside

[frigid raven]

ohh nice thanks. i checked the upstairs door, but not the front

[dreamy fjord]

where is old grindania?

[primal relic]

Oh about the loyal housemaid set, which part is dyable the blk or white frill part?

[faint flare]

It's the other area of gridina. Port in and go north through any zone transition

Where the Lancer, conjuer guild etc is

[dreamy fjord]

ty

[twilit arch]

the black

[primal relic]

Hmmmm thanks

Wish you could wear glasses and maid headdress at same time.

[verbal rune]

For hoh do I need to be lvl 60?

[buoyant sorrel]

61

[faint flare]

61

[verbal rune]

With the job I want to enter, right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[verbal rune]

F

[faint flare]

Same with bojza and needing lv71

[gilded forge]

Stupid question but how hard is "Unreal" ? I just want to giant robot mount.

[faint flare]

Unreal are just extremes

[little swift]

its the ex fight scaled to lvl80

its not super hard

[faint flare]

Like literally the same fight as the lv50 version

[stray mason]

Is palace of the dead just for leveling alts or are there any rewards for it?

[gilded forge]

wtf thats

[faint flare]

Just at 80

[gilded forge]

That's awesome

[faint flare]

That's their whole point of unreal

Being able to do old extreme fights at equal level

[warm snow]

The mechanics are a bit more complicated

[unborn fern]

Is there any way to play with friends in the free trial

[warm snow]

But it's mostly adapting old mechs to act like they would if implemented in modern ff14

[faint flare]

The accursed horde sacks have stuff in them. The ones in the higher floors have a extremely expensive mount

[leaden ginkgo]

iirc PoTD has some rewards, you can get your weapon and armor to a certain level too and trade said level for a weapon or armor, but it'll consume the level, dunno what level you need to have and if there is a cap

[steady fulcrum]

I'm assuming that you can't have multiple bard songs active. Is there a specific rotation to play the songs in or is it choice by circumstance? Bard is more technical than I was expecting

[faint flare]

Wanderers > mage > army (only 20s long ) for single target

[twilit arch]

wanderers > mages > army

mages > army > wanderers for AoE

[faint flare]

Aoe starts with mage

[steady fulcrum]

Got it merci

consistent answers too

[grim bison]

hello all, I need some help with an error I get while trying to enter Hall of Novices. How do I fix this?

[untold sapphire]

Hey was wondering if there was a reason besides resistance weapons to run Bojza, I started late to the party with that and my rank is only 7. Is it worth to push the rank up or no?

[faint flare]

Good xp for jobs needing to level

Good money from selling spare fragments and stuff from clusters

And stuff from castrum

[shadow geyser]

my guess is corrupted game files?

[untold sapphire]

I don't believe I've unlocked that yet and heard so many bad things about it, i've heard its really toxic and don't like newbies in castrum

[faint flare]

That's either old or just bias shit

Castrum is constantly ran due to relics

[steep saffron]

where on earth is the recruit a friend page, or is that not a thing anymore

[grim bison]

could be, i dont know. I came back after 5-6 years and had the launcher update/redownload the whole thing. game runs fine except when i try entering hall of novices - it just shuts the whole game down with that error

[shadow geyser]

ah

[twilit arch]

its an image banner on the mogstation acount page

[untold sapphire]

Alright guess I'll work on getting rank up, what level is castrum unlocked?

[faint flare]

10

[primal relic]

How often do optional item go on sale, kinda wanting to buy the whale?

[untold sapphire]

tyty

[obsidian patio]

Like once every month or two but the items chosen are basically random.

[faint flare]

10 basically unlocks everything except Dalriada in Zadnor and the honor system for permanent buffs...and Delubrum savage

[steep saffron]

where? i dont see it anywhere. ive got Digital Upgrade Service, Home World Transfer, Renaming, and Vet Rewards banners

[twilit arch]

do you have an active sub

[obsidian patio]

In the “your account” section.

That’s the additional services

[steep saffron]

oh now i see it, down under additional platforms. wow, they couldnt have made that any more obvious could they

[shadow geyser]

if its been 5-6 years could be an issue with directX 11?

you can disable it on the launcher

[grim bison]

I tried that, doesn't work

[shadow geyser]

hmm

[grim bison]

but

this error is different from the one i get when i turn on directx11

it will say ffxiv_dx11.exe instead of ffxiv.exe

[shadow geyser]

ye

cause its the game

[ripe viper]

can you setup mouse so it the camera follows the mouse rather than hold MB2?

[shadow geyser]

when shown in the error logs

[faint flare]

No action camera

[jolly rune]

for the first part of the 535 relic weapon, is it faster to do skirmishes/ ce or raids?

[primal relic]

What’s a good color to go with dark blue? Unless I can’t ask that here than I’m sorry.

[sturdy mason]

What is the difference between Cross Hotbar and normal Hotbar?

[faint flare]

Doing it in Zadnor let's you multi task by farming mettle/levelling jobs

[twilit arch]

would recommend doing zadnor and getting to 25 in there while working on that step since you'll need to be 25 for the last step.

can switch over to raids to fill in what you don't have

[faint flare]

Cross is for controllers

[shadow geyser]

I'd say for the hell of it, uhh try reinstalling and hope it works this time around

[grim bison]

is it possible to scan the files?

[sturdy mason]

oh gotcha thx

[grim bison]

like, verify

[shadow geyser]

not on the main launcher

[grim bison]

oof

[blazing pike]

hi, ihit level 34 and did all the gladiator quests, but the guild girl lulutsu wont give me the paladin quest any reason why?

[grim bison]

ugh

[twilit arch]

where are you in the main scenario quest

[blazing pike]

i actually jsut joined a grand company

so not very far

[twilit arch]

then you need to keep going with msq

[blazing pike]

how far do i need to get into it?

[twilit arch]

need to complete "Sylph management" to unlock job quest

[faint flare]

Like 3 or so more quests

[jolly rune]

@twilit arch do you have to do dalriada?

[faint flare]

For slyph management

[twilit arch]

yes, you're going to have to do it

[faint flare]

Dalriada gives 3 of the item needed

[blazing pike]

oh ok just a few more then

[jolly rune]

ya is that the fastest way to get them

[warm snow]

@blazing pike EVERYTHING is locked behind msq

[blazing pike]

im a little ahead in levels because of the double xp for my server

[feral nebula]

is there people that still crafts exarchic set to sell for 40~50k gill? im not finding it for a while now ..

[faint flare]

Technically Speedrunning Delubrum is faster

But Dalriada is good for.i

[jolly rune]

o ok

[faint flare]

Again. Can multi task

[jolly rune]

i figured the dungs would be faster considering how long it takes a pug to do delubrum

[faint flare]

Speedrun DR is 15mins

Per run

Also gives you the artifacts I'd you have that step active

Again, MULTI TASKING

That's the benefit of bojza

[jolly rune]

i dont really plan on doing any other jobs

[faint flare]

Even then, 15mins for 2 from dr

Via speedrun

[jolly rune]

finding a speedrun is easier said than done though haha

[gaunt lark]

how do i access plots 31-60 in a ward? even if i select one in that range, it puts me in the 1-30 range..

[faint flare]

Use the aether shards and enter the subward

[gaunt lark]

ah the subdivisions

yeah right got it just as u said, thx

[alpine shadow]

your HDD

[spark pollen]

Idk if I can ask this here but, which female race char has the biggest chest/butt ?

[atomic stump]

How do I figure out what materials to gather and sell on the marketboard?

[tulip zinc]

Fuck I gotta move the game to an SSD

[alpine shadow]

think so, it also depends on the hdd, since many thing varies there.

[ripe viper]

Its worth getting an M2 drive for specific games or at least the Os

[random girder]

you can just move the folder, no?

[ripe viper]

Thats like having a mansion but living in the shed because its hard work to move the gear

[random girder]

youd probably have to do some stuff with some other folder in

documents or something

but it should be fine

[leaden ginkgo]

i was 19 arcanist, didnt like it very much. i changed class to thaumaturge. i progressed to lvl 15 with msq. and im lvl 7 thaumaturge. how do i catch up to lvl 15? i did couple quest here and there but no clue where to go next

[dreamy fjord]

anyone who played wow, is there a goldshire location on FFXIV?

[modern heart]

Hey guys I bought a book that allowed me to skip ARR main quest, now I see that it's an ARR main quest that allows to fly in ARR, any idea how I can unlock it ?

[twilit arch]

the msq skip unlocks flying in ARR zones

[leaden ginkgo]

do i have to make a new character?

[grim bison]

where can I download the game? the square enix site is confusing

[faint flare]

Hunting logs

[grim bison]

im trying to re-install it

[modern heart]

I can't fly atm :/ for exemple I'm in central noscea right now and I can't

[twilit arch]

!faq download

[gaunt lark]

are there simple ways to get like casual clothing ingame? or do i have to buy MTX for decent ones?

[zinc orbit]

Download FFXIV

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[twilit arch]

did you use the skip?

[grim bison]

oh thanks!!! couldn't find it at all, only a page to buy it LOL

[modern heart]

Yep I did, I already begun shadowbringers main quest and can fly in one of shadowbringers zone

[twilit arch]

[ripe sentinel]

where's a good place to level up BLU mage at level 43?

[twilit arch]

then it should just be a matter of mounting up and hitting space bar

[modern heart]

doesn't work 😦

[twilit arch]

log out and back in

cos the msq skip completes the quest that unlocks flying in ARR zones

[nimble acorn]

are there any updates on when servers usually allow new characters to be created?

[twilit arch]

!faq serverlock

[modern heart]

I bought book several weeks ago but I'll try anyway

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

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.

[nimble acorn]

thank you bot <3

[vast ferry]

is there a way to get unstuck or do i have to teleport

[open coral]

Depends on the nature of your stuckness

[vast ferry]

stuck on the terain

i fell between a rock and a cliff

nvm forgot i could jump

[tiny heath]

Is it possible to do treasure maps in different world servers?

With a party

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[exotic geyser]

Has anyone else been having issues today with logging into the game? I logged in last night and had no issues but for some reason can't log in today even after changing passwords, and my brother/dad who just made accounts today also got hit with the same issue, any help/guidance would be appreciated ty 🙂

[tiny heath]

Assuming just need to do cross world pf?

[obsidian patio]

Yep, and everyone needs to meet on the same world

[tiny heath]

Thank you!!

[sturdy mason]

Can I make character movement follow legacy controls style for backwards movement while I'm locked on to a target in controller mode?

[remote lintel]

no

[sturdy mason]

is lock on useful in savage raids?

[remote lintel]

no it doesnt give you any advantage

[sturdy mason]

just wondering if less camera management would mean you can focus on RT + skills

[warm snow]

Controller player here, I never use lock on

[remote lintel]

it doesnt help you with camera management because you dont need to be looking at the boss 24/7

[warm snow]

You have dual analogue you shouldn't need much camera management in the first place

[sturdy mason]

ok I'm playing WHM and trying to learn controller , watching a youtube vid on it, and lock on seemed potentially useful but wasn't sure

[warm snow]

Focus target can be handy to use

Remember that up and down on the dpad scroll your party list

[sturdy mason]

ok I haven't tried in a party yet but good to know thank you

how do you focus target instead of lock on?

with XB controller

[remote lintel]

on xbox its Y > focus target

whatever the top button is

[sturdy mason]

Y is jump

Y is the top

[strange scaffold]

Hello. Im fairly new to the game.. if i glamour a piece of equipment with another equipment.. is that other equipment gone forever?

[remote lintel]

might be X then

its the equivalent of right click on mkb

[warm snow]

Whichever one is options

[warm snow]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[sturdy mason]

Ah yeah it's X then you get a menu. Cool thanks

[strange scaffold]

Ohh sweet thank you

[sturdy mason]

can you explain what you mean here? by camera management I meant moving right analog while moving around

now that I'm thinking of it even in savage I don't remember having to mouse with the camera much. I'll just try it and see

[compact prism]

im level 47 and the next msq requires lvl 49 what should i do to level?

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i disable the thing where my character rotates when i cast an ability its rly annoying

[warm snow]

You don't need to constantly be moving the camera. And dual analogue is plenty for camera and movement

[warm snow]

You can't, your casting at a target you face the target

Them the rules

[remote lintel]

its under character config

[leaden ginkgo]

yea ik but what i mean is it forces me to spin its annoying when im playing summoner

[remote lintel]

but i wouldnt turn it off because you cant cast on things behind you

if youre on legacy controls your character direction shouldnt change which way you move

if youre on standard controls it will make you move towards your target

[warm snow]

If you're casting/attacking/using an ability on a target you will face the target when you use that ability/spell

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i check which im on

[remote lintel]

character config

[sturdy mason]

I don't know what you mean by dual analog.

You mean a controller with two joysticks?

[warm snow]

2 analogue sticks

One for movement one for camera

[sturdy mason]

left one is movment + camera, right is camera

[rustic flare]

Geez. Why must Master Chai throw something at the talos to disable them? Is that not a cruel deed?

[remote lintel]

nah theyre just rocks

[rustic flare]

Yes. But it's a cruel deed to throw them.

[storm iris]

do these set effects work even if you put them on a glamour plate? like if I get them on the glam dresser and cast it over a different gear?

[warm snow]

No they dont

[twilit arch]

you only get the set bonus if you're actively wearing them

[rustic flare]

Hence the patch name of 5.1. Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty.

[storm iris]

So I must equip this level 1 gear to get the bonus........?

[twilit arch]

yes

[remote lintel]

it doesnt hurt them

not that they have feelings to care in the first place

[storm iris]

kinda dumb but aight xDDD gear doesnt matter for low level max diff battle leves since you get 1hit anyways

[leaden ginkgo]

Also iim a tank, so when im trying pull its sometimes hard, since tab 95% of the times targets stuff ive already agro'd anyway to make pulling easier?

[rustic flare]

@remote lintel it does not hurt them.

[willow sparrow]

What is the kiosk?

[outer mural]

kiosk?

not sure what you mean

[leaden ginkgo]

Guys I'm lv 78, is there a faster way to level up than Bozja? maybe a daily quest or something?

already did every roulette

[warm snow]

Nabaath then mt gulg

Also pixies if you have them

[hot eagle]

run the 77 dungeon

[sturdy mason]

can someone explain the soft & hard target in controller mode? This video says soft target is the ring around the enemy, hard target is the arrow above the head. But in his video every enemy he selected had both the circle and the arrow. Confusing...

[leaden ginkgo]

that ends up being faster than bozja?

How can I access FC stables?

[storm iris]

your fc must have a state (house) and a chocobo stable outside of it

[warm snow]

Depends on the job

[vast ferry]

any idea where cave bats and lightning sprites are'

[rustic flare]

And well what do you know. I am almost done with the 5.1 content

[warm snow]

If this is for hunting log it tells you

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way to tp to the estate?

[warm snow]

Yes

You tp to the estate

[storm iris]

yes, it should be on your teleport list if the fc has a miniature aetheryte

[vast ferry]

it tells me the zone but not the exact spawn loacation

[warm snow]

Provided it has an aetheryte

[storm iris]

at the top of your tp list there should be a"Residential areas" section

[warm snow]

It gives you a more specific area, zoom in on pins on the map

[leaden ginkgo]

Found it! Thanks guys

[storm iris]

No worries! have fun

[humble thunder]

how long does free trial last?

[knotty lily]

Unlimited play time, but you can only play through ARR and Heavensward to level 60. Anything included within those 2

[humble thunder]

ok thanks

[gentle arrow]

are log in servers down cant get in

[vast ferry]

i'm at the mark i don't see em

[faint flare]

It's that general area

[willow sparrow]

can't I use a search keyword within a category on the market

[warm snow]

No

[willow sparrow]

damn

[remote lintel]

not within a category

search searches all categories

[willow sparrow]

makes it hard to find stuff

[faint flare]

Only Partial match of a itwm

Like Ore

Will bring up all items with Ore in their name

[willow sparrow]

can't find any cool coat for glam

[warm snow]

Then look through chests for whatever job

And sure that won't account for tome gear or dungeon gear

Could look up eorzea collection for ideaa

[gentle arrow]

is launcher / log in extremely slow for anyone else

[spark pollen]

is limit break shared between all the classes in the raid/dung ?

[knotty lily]

Launcher no, but log in yeah - servers choking again at the amount of players tryina log in right now maybe? It is Saturday night

[knotty lily]

Yes, definitely

[faint flare]

Yes. It's shared

Only in pvp is it individual

[copper hound]

hey can somebody tell me how to unlock borzja. I did progress the msq far enough and it tells me to go to the reach and do the borzja incident quest but its not there

is there some requirement im likely missing? i did some googling but didnt find much

[faint flare]

It's part of the Hail to the Queen chain

Which requires the lv70 24mans fully done

[spark pollen]

Thanks

[faint flare]

To start

[vast ferry]

can't find it still

[copper hound]

ah ok thats something i am missing^^

[vast ferry]

are you sure theyre at the red pins

[faint flare]

No, the pins tell you what area that is

The area itself expands wide

[undone pulsar]

hey i'm really struggling with getting my mouse working on PS5. i mean it works, but there's definitely some weird lag issue. it feels nothing like using a mouse on PC. the only way i can describe it is it feels like using the touchpad instead of a mouse to move the cursor

[vast ferry]

i'm in the right area finding the enemy is hard

[undone pulsar]

i'm sure i must be missing something because i've heard many people use m+kb on PS4/5, but something just feels wrong. and i can't get used to using a controller for an MMO : /

[vast ferry]

i've been at this for 30 minutes

[faint flare]

Can always just Google their exact location easily

[vast ferry]

still can't find a stupid cave bat or lightning sprite

[faint flare]

Most do anyway

Cave bats are in that cave north east near the zone transition

If it's in the limsa area

Otherwise I'm thinking of a different bat

[halcyon oyster]

How does Ascension Triple Triad work? It seems like when we have the same tribe, his 8+X beats my 7+X, but my 7+X didn't beat his 6+X.

[knotty lily]

Was it the same tribe? Since the same tribe shares the +X for you both

[halcyon oyster]

Yup yup

[knotty lily]

AKA 7+1 (scions) will still lose to 6+3 (Beast Tribes)

[hardy ridge]

I am sure this is an user error, but I added a CC to my account to add a subscription to it. it says it added it standard recurring, but still wont let me log in and says i do not have any game time.

[molten zodiac]

Hello, is it good to doing 2 jobs at the same time ? (Erudit and summoner)

[halcyon oyster]

Does anything beat Ace. Like something = to 11?

[gentle arrow]

do I need to do sth to ensure scholar and summoner is being leveled up once I hit 30?

[faint flare]

Nope

[gentle arrow]

ty

[faint flare]

Cause you get arcanist xp

[midnight tinsel]

well do your job quests

for both

[faint flare]

Not summoner or scholar xp

[spiral inlet]

is there a company chest in eulmore?

[gentle arrow]

yes apart from job quests I meant

thanks

[faint flare]

Pretty sure no

[outer mural]

@spiral inlet nay

crystarium only

[gilded forge]

What is the name of the hair style with the low ponytail and the black ribbon? You unlock it from something, but I forget where.

[molten zodiac]

ok so its better to doing both and not focus right ?

[outer mural]

do you have a reference picture

[outer mural]

what is erudit

[gilded forge]

I don't, since I can't remember the name to look it up

[outer mural]

i assume it's a language thing

[knotty lily]

Was it a sneaky Ascension+Reverse game? No probably?

[molten zodiac]

I think its scholar, the one with Eos

the healer one when arcanist is 30th

[twilit arch]

sounds like lexen-tails

[twilit arch]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/mediawiki/images/0/0b/Lexen-tails_hairstyle1.jpg like this?

[outer mural]

should be that one, black ribbon and low pony-tail

[gilded forge]

That's it!

Perfect, thank you!

[outer mural]

you don't need to focus yeah

[twilit arch]

do note that's the female version of it

[outer mural]

becaus you level up both at the same time

[twilit arch]

male looks different

[gilded forge]

No that's fine, I'm helping my girlfriend change her look

[hollow barn]

Anyone else experiencing issues trying with the launcher? I can't even get the sign in menu to appear on it

[twilit arch]

also to buy it you need to have completed the Return to Ivalice raid series

[halcyon oyster]

Turns out it's because 10 is the highest, so it was becoming a tie.

[gentle arrow]

yes servers are slow give it some time took a minute until it showed up for me

[hollow barn]

Welp, apparently my FFXIV uninstalled itself too.

[gentle arrow]

ip

rip

[primal relic]

How do you switch characters?

[leaden ginkgo]

anybody know why I have no play button on the launcher? not sure if anybody has asked recently

I stopped playing with a Complete Edition back in 2020 before the new trial form.
I didn't finish HS and I know that now belongs to the Trial

Simply the question is, do I need to sub to play the game or because that part is "free" I can play until level 60?

[gentle arrow]

servers slow, takes a minute or two to show up, just give it some time, worked for me eventually.

[leaden ginkgo]

managed to log but says connection error :( sadge

[gentle arrow]

yeah keep retrying

had same issue for 10mins

peak time right now

[knotty lily]

Switch characters? Like log out of your character and pick an alt character on the login screen are you meaning?
Or something else like switch jobs?

[primal relic]

Nvm the 1 was showing I had a character in this world. I thought primal was it’s own server.

[pliant sentinel]

Might be wrong chat but i am currently playing the free trial and want to upgrade to shadowbringers do i need to buy realm reborn and shadowbringers i know some friends have said i have to but than others said they just bought shadowbringers and worked fine?

[vestal magnet]

is fishing and culinarian worth it early on? The meals from vendors seem cheap enough

[random girder]

you have to buy the complete edition

or starter + shb

(starter=arr)

[primal relic]

I wanted to delete a char I did trial on PS3 a long time ago.

[knotty lily]

If you do level FSH and CUL, it wouldnt be for the food/exp yeah. You'd do it to prepare for endgame food or because you want to try your hand at crafting maybe - dont let that stop you tho!

[void vigil]

Is FFXIV riddled with dailies and a bunch of resources you have to collect that are time-gated like retail WoW? Anything that like forces you to log in daily or fall behind?

[faint flare]

No

[gentle arrow]

not at all

[faint flare]

It's mainly on weeklies

Rather than dailies

Only like roulettes and beast tribes are dailies. Which are primarily for alt levelling

No endgame activity is daily

[knotty lily]

You can do a daily dungeon to get an exp boost, or endgame currency, but you dont even have to do that. Not that it takes long, like 20 minutes but its again optional

[timid remnant]

For healing - do me and my target have to be in line of sight for all spells, or do aoe spells like succor ignore los?

[knotty lily]

Line of sight!

[faint flare]

All spells

Don't LoS the healer

Not that should really happen much

[void vigil]

This game sounds awesome but i think im gonna wait for the expansion to try it because the Sage looks like the only healing class id want to play (Healer main)

[faint flare]

Well you need to hit lv70

[gentle arrow]

all classes are good fun and balanced at the moment, in my point of view already worth trying

[void vigil]

Other healers playstyles sound meh to me

[faint flare]

To play sage

[timid remnant]

You'll need to unlock Sage though

[gentle arrow]

if you start with next expac you need to level up everyone else will already have done that

[void vigil]

I have a 70 warr

i blasted thru Stormblood and quit the second i hit 70

didnt read anything, didnt look at any endgame

[fading helm]

why is every item from the christmas event in the mog store except the snowman mount?

[winged fossil]

What’s the connection between The Balance, Allagan Studies and AkhMorning?

[twilit arch]

because snowman was last year's reward

[faint flare]

Cause that was last year's event

[open ember]

It'll get added in December

[twilit arch]

and the event hasnn't come around again yet

[fading helm]

ohh i thought that was fromr a long time ago

[primal relic]

Why do ppl feel the need to tell me they’re WoW refugee? What does that even mean?

[warped furnace]

you get 1 memory per run of shadows of mhach/ivalice raid right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

for feast coming out on the 20th, what do i que for to join it?

[warped furnace]

oh jeez, are they soloable?

[midnight tinsel]

@primal relic that they come from wow recently usually and need help xD

[warped furnace]

probably not...

[knotty lily]

Its a huge thing right now - People are leaving World of Warcraft by the hundreds of thousansd to try FFXIV (due to a few factors), in the past few weeks. So they might be extra-new but have some MMO background

[void vigil]

Is this because of asmongold lol?

[faint flare]

You need 1 person to per alliance to unsync alliance raids, plus you can't unsync any shadowbringers relic steps

[gray ferry]

not just asmon

[knotty lily]

Its also the main reason why our servers are choking so hard, more new players than ever before

[dull valley]

@void vigil no, asmon is the symptom

[gray ferry]

i came back about 3 weeks ago

[midnight tinsel]

the main reason is blizzard being a bag of shits

[gray ferry]

WoW is just trash any more so people looking elsewhere

[midnight tinsel]

for years

[gray ferry]

finally tbh.

[knotty lily]

Not just him, although surely helps. But I understand its also due to WoW patch 9.1 "straw breaking the camels back" you know what I mean? The Last Straw?

[primal relic]

Oh I see. I usually just say “idk” and proceed to clear instance.

[gentle arrow]

9.1 is dogshit so yea it's a massive boost

[knotty lily]

Just be nice to any WoW refugees you see, they are sensitive lil beans. Or something. Haha

[midnight tinsel]

dogshit and is the first patch after like 7-8 months

we are more like abuse victims

[winged fossil]

Anyone…? Thanks!

[knotty lily]

FFXIV has always had potential to be "The WoW killer" but nobody kills WoW harder than itself, guess

[void vigil]

Thank god there is classic WoW - thats what im on lol

[dull valley]

yea classic is pretty decent, im playing it and ff14 atm

[warm summit]

Any advice on making gil with crafting ?

[faint flare]

Check the market board

[knotty lily]

Is there... a connection???

[faint flare]

Find what's selling

Make that item

Profit

[primal relic]

Also guys, can just anyone sell stuff on board? If so, how do I set stuff?

[austere vector]

am i the only one having issue with the launcher ?

[faint flare]

Via retainers

Is how you sell on market

[void vigil]

I wanna do this but... Time lol

also all my friends are on classic

[knotty lily]

Just heard from a couple other people they theyre having trouble too, keep waiting. The servers are chokin hard (again)

[void vigil]

also fuck 2 sub fees!

[gentle arrow]

wait for a few minutes took 3 minutes until I was able to click on it and log in

[winged fossil]

Um. I thought one was like the sister site of the other when I first used it but now I can’t see that and I’m worried I was imagining

[warm summit]

Im doing weaving and botany currently. are materials worth more then items ? Just curious on what I should focus more on

I've been selling a few things I've crafted some mats and such but I'd rather not waste time on one or the other if one is superior

[austere vector]

i see, i hope they're going to handle that

[primal relic]

Can you unbind items to sell?

[faint flare]

No

[primal relic]

😫

[knotty lily]

Finished products are usually worth more than mats. Sometimes endgame items, items used to hand in for quests in HW, and often items used for levequests. You can even brute force gil by handing in levequests yourself sometimes, at the high levels. Thing with crafting is that you'll find you need more and more crafters because they all feed each other, so.. good luck!

[faint flare]

Depends on the item and what it makes. All market research

[warm summit]

Fair enough. I wish the market board was more user friendly

[patent citrus]

if you use the sheath sit glitch, can other people see your weapon particle as well? or is it just you?

[faint flare]

All people in visible range

When it was preformed

[knotty lily]

Other people can, if they were in the zone when you did it

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

nice one!

[void vigil]

Do we know anything about the Sage class yet?

[warm summit]

I guess my last question is if the websites like universalis are reliable to base prices on or will I have to go into the marketboard myself everytime I want to see what some thing is selling for

[midnight tinsel]

@void vigilits a shield healer

[simple zephyr]

How do I use a materia on a weapon

[knotty lily]

Check #kupo-bot-spam for the !market command, someones used it recently I'm sure. Its not bad if youre out-of-game

[faint flare]

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

[hardy ridge]

if i bought a non steam code, any way to get it to work with my steam game?

[faint flare]

No

[warm summit]

Yeah anything that I can search prices for faster. Can I add that bot to my own server ?

last one I swear 😂

[hardy ridge]

@faint flare am i just stuck with this version then?

[snow violet]

I submitted a support ticket, but I didn't receive any kind of email or way to follow up or check the status. Is there anything else I can do?

[knotty lily]

I bet, I added it to my FC server.

[faint flare]

You're permanently locked to steam

[warm summit]

@knotty lily Thank you very much

[hot eagle]

checking the markeboard yourself is better since sites like universalis have often old data

[primal relic]

Oh I forgot to ask, is lv50 the only time you get unique job armor?

[faint flare]

No

[knotty lily]

Not at all, every 10 levels after that

[warm summit]

Does kupo bot work based off the last item sold aswell?

[faint flare]

All level caps give you job armour

[hardy ridge]

any chance on getting my money back or am i stuck like chuck?

[faint flare]

Expansion jobs skip caps

[neon holly]

is the game down?

[faint flare]

If you revealed the code then extremely small

[neon holly]

my login thing is gone

[faint flare]

No just slow servers

[hardy ridge]

well that sucks

[knotty lily]

Just heard from a couple other people they theyre having trouble too, keep waiting. The servers are chokin hard (again), Saturday night peak boiii

[faint flare]

Crumbling under the exodus

[primal relic]

Wha? So if I’m lvl56 I’ll get my unique armor at 60 job quest?

[glad robin]

Is there any website where I can see the weapons earnable from the POTD? Like the previews like they do with the usual items and cosmetics in the game

[faint flare]

Yes

[knotty lily]

WoW exodus seems to be picking up even, two weeks later..

[primal relic]

Sweet! Thanks

[faint flare]

There's multiple different job geaes

Why we call it like Af1 or af5

[faint flare]

The potd weapons are the same ones used in potd

[primal relic]

If you guys told me that, I would’ve done class quest for the gear. cough gettin the new skill nice too, I guess cough

[void vigil]

Arent there purchasable potions in the game that let me re make how my char looks?

[knotty lily]

Always always do your class and job quests as soon as you can! They take as high priority as MSQ, if not higher

[glad robin]

So it looks exactly the same outside?

[faint flare]

Yes

[knotty lily]

Fantasia, yes - you get one free for beating the base game and the rest cost 10 bucks a pop in the cash shop
(There is a barbershop ingame though for just simple things, hairstyle/colour, tattos, etc. Just no race, gender, height, blah blah)

[fading helm]

is there a way to see what extreme trials i can do now that im done with post HW

[glad robin]

Ohh gotcha

[patent citrus]

definitely higher, that's why it has (!) sign on it

[faint flare]

Padjili is the yellow, Kinna is the red

[glad robin]

I was wearing blue glows in the potd tho

For me it wasn’t yellow

[granite wolf]

did your login show up yet

[faint flare]

Well depends on lighting

[patent citrus]

and non-job quest that's important for MSQ also sometimes appear there

[faint flare]

Can look blue ish

[neon holly]

yeah i'm ingame now

[glad robin]

Oh okay

[void vigil]

If you beat the MSQ up to Stormblood, and you want to re-start the game as a brand new job.... What do you do/where do you start and how to you progress leveling as your new job?

[faint flare]

Depends on the job

Base jobs start at 1

Expansion jobs start higher

[bright quartz]

how you get the 30% xp boost?

[faint flare]

But for levelling

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[faint flare]

The xp earrings is endwalker preorder

[bright quartz]

ah ok makes sense

if i preorder it now can i apply it to any character already created?

[twilit arch]

yes, the earring gets mailed to all characters

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a question, this will be my first time playing ff14, should I try out the free trial version/should I purchase both shadowbringer complete edition with endwalker preorder which will cost a lot and play the quests and all the content or should I just wait for endwalker and then play? Do I even get to experience all the quests included in expansions while leveling?

[twilit arch]

play the free trial

[midnight tinsel]

^

and then once you reached the end of ehavensward

you can decide if tis worth ti for you

thats like maybe 300 hours way if you dont rush

and do some sidecontent

[leaden ginkgo]

okay thanks for the advice!

[bright quartz]

also sorry stupid question if i preorder endwalker now do i get the previous expansions to play now as well?

[leaden ginkgo]

they will be unlocked at endwalker launch

[bright quartz]

ty

[leaden ginkgo]

stormblood shadowbringers and endwalker

[halcyon oyster]

What do you do with full spiritbond items?

[leaden ginkgo]

Found this on the balance. Is this supposed to be your GCD with shifu?

[woeful shadow]

So my hotbars have 1 2 3 on the side how do I get rid of that

and my 1 hotbar have arrow to change hotbar, how do i get rid of that lol

[faint flare]

Extract materia

Aka make materia

[terse kindle]

DO I NEED THE LAST QUEST TO GO FURTHER ON THE MSQ???? THAT ASKS ME TO REPEAT THE 3 RAIDS AGAIN T-T

[reef quiver]

So just had a quick search and there is no songs you can get from ff7? Or is there?

[faint flare]

You don't need Gift of thr Archmagus

Only to Light of Hope

[obsidian patio]

No. You only need to do up to “Light of Hope”

[twilit arch]

you only need to do up to"the light of hope"

[hot eagle]

no only need to do till light of hope

[knotty lily]

Gift of the Archmagus can be totally ignored

[twilit arch]

[obsidian patio]

We’re murdering this lad with pings

[terse kindle]

NICE

THANK GOD

[lament sandal]

Hello! Is there any resource I can consult to check old tooltips in the game? I'm interested in checking, for example, potencies and tooltips of spells prior to patch adjustments. Or if I'd have to check patch by patch and trace back to the beginning.

[faint flare]

[twilit arch]

you can check the history of the action on gamerescape

[faint flare]

[twilit arch]

but finding old tooltips is often kind of hard

[obsidian patio]

Gamerescape has action history? :0

[rustic flare]

I wonder what patch 5.2 will bring since I am on that content now. What dungeons will I unlock and raids I will conquer.

[lament sandal]

Oh nice! Thanks! I'll check if that's enough, if not I'll just do the tracing!

[halcyon oyster]

Does that like, destroy the gear? Do you need something to do that?

[faint flare]

Nope

[twilit arch]

it doesn't destroy the gear

[faint flare]

Just resets the spiritbond

[twilit arch]

just resets spiritbond to 1

[faint flare]

It used to

[hot eagle]

not anymore you probably have a old guide

[faint flare]

But not anymore

[warm snow]

The lv50 one

[south flower]

yeah, but that doesn't fly right?

[obsidian patio]

All mounts fly, so just use the normal magitek

[simple zephyr]

I'm overwhelmed, can someone help me or how to craft or level up disciple of hands? It all feels complicated lol.

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

[knotty lily]

Yes, once you complete the role quests for those you can grab them from underwater buddy

[warm snow]

Someone has some required reading

[simple zephyr]

How do I increase DoH Levels

[warm snow]

You craft

[knotty lily]

Its not so bad - DoH make quite a bit of exp from just crafting materials in High Quality. After that, you can complete levequests for exp, or use other methods to level (depends on how high you are in MSQ)

[south flower]

so I've unlocked flying in every zone I've done thus far, and I just... never tried to fly with those mounts. I got Sleipnir on the store cause it looks cool and I just wanted a relatively normal horse, and I figured store mounts must fly cause they cost real money (but the guide says "Terrestrial")

[stone fractal]

what does one spend gc seals on nowadays?

[warm snow]

https://youtu.be/2AEDr59JgAo

[simple zephyr]

uh, does materia require crafting

[faint flare]

All mounts fly

[knotty lily]

Melding it? No, an NPC can do this. (Although you can too for free if your crafter is high enough)

[agile laurel]

quick verify - float on advanced relativity if anyone on the same side as you has the same debuff as you?

[warm snow]

Flying mounts used to have their own category but since all mounts can fly now its just a remnant of an old system

[simple zephyr]

The NPC won't let me meld materia just because I don't have the required DoH level.

[warm snow]

Tf are you on about?

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

Ahh, well I played a little bit last year, but 90% of my experience was... 2017? 2018? Maybe it's just archaic knowledge

[faint flare]

If you have the same debuffs as your partner dps then you swap sides

In advanced

[agile laurel]

gee whiz thanks for that response

thanks vinyl i appreciate the answer

[simple zephyr]

So, someone can meld my gear huh

I wish I can do it myself

[warm snow]

What do you mean by float?

[faint flare]

The float dps

To swap sides

[simple zephyr]

Or learn by doing it myself but I'll learn

[halcyon oyster]

How far into HW do you have to get to buy Poetics gear?

[warm snow]

You only swap if 1 sides has 2 double aero

[faint flare]

Get to Idyllshire

[twilit arch]

need to reach idyllshire which is around lvl 58 in the msq

[knotty lily]

You will be able to meld yourself if you level your crafters, but they gotta be high. I emld all my own stuff because I have all crafters at 80

[warm snow]

Cuz there will always be 2 fires on each side

[sturdy mason]

Is there a site I can see all changes to a particular class across all the patches? I want to see what changes were made to WHM since 5.3

[faint flare]

They basically got none

But no there isnt

[twilit arch]

doesn't look like its updated for 5.5 tho

[knotty lily]

Maybe check the patch notes for each patch if you want 5.3, 5.4 etc?

[sturdy mason]

It's more than that, right? They have 5.45, etc

Just seemed like it would be tedious. But if there's no other way

[warm snow]

I mean why do you want this information?

[faint flare]

Job changed only happen in Major patches

Rarely minor ones

[twilit arch]

but fairly certain the only major change to whm was the misery change to be flat 25%

[faint flare]

Unless it's like first tier of Savage

[twilit arch]

like whm hasn't been touched at all

[sturdy mason]

What do you mean why do I want it? I want to know what I missed about my class

no whm touches make it easy 🙂

Thanks for the help

[fathom warren]

is there a way to have a different set of clothes that give you stats and a different set of clothes that is only shown on your character?

[warm snow]

I mean you can, but why all this historical information what if say something was changed in 5.3 and then again in 5.4 why not just go over what you have now

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

Grand Company FAQ

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:

Grand Company Gear

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.

Ps4 probably lists the trial as a demo

How do you find your Chocobo's name? Going through the options but can't find it anywhere.

the 30 days are for base game, not actually a trial
