Hi everyone, I’m a dragoon at lvl 48 is there any mount I can get other than chocobo ?
Is there one thats a bit more indepth perhaps? LIke telling what the events do etc?
They are groups you can do dailies for and get reputation and you go through a storyline helping them out and you can get gear, minions, mounts, emotes, etc
There are a good few per expansion
has someone time to help me with aether currenty in stormblood? Need Fringes 4/10, Yanxia 4/10and the peaks 2/10 Dm me (Eu, Omega)
Use your compass?
U should have gotten a magictec by now if not u will soon
That's after praeotirum
Not yet
you can trade in achievement certificates and get some mounts at gridania
Oh nice deff will do
that's normally the fastest way to get new mounts
Specific event pages go up when those events are close
so challenge log things dont give the 1.5x MGP buff?
Can get achievement point mounts from Jonathas in Gridania though probably@exotic wedge
It does
are u sure?
He's at Akpallu Falls in Old Gridania
i just completed something that gives 8k mgp but it still just gave me 8k
instead of the buff on top
I need to check this out....im at the end of shadowbringers and never knew this
Ah ok, where do I find those? I'm trying to find it on the FF14 website but i'm completely lost, like for Make It Rain right now
Oh okay I’ll check it out, THANKS!!
i cannot log in either, i'm eternally at queue 3017
yes it says that fo ra lot of people @devout anvil
ok thank god
Lodestone
Yeah you seemed to have skipped a number of things
How are you supposed to play on the free trial if there is almost always a queue and you cant login if there is a queue
It's a pain to navigate but they go there
Wdym?
Is there any conditions I need to do to get it ?
The numbers you see in the log are the buffed numbers
Unfortunately with a lot of fucking effort @real glade . It wasn't really designed to be this busy
U get it via story
really?
thx found it
Yes
how much did complete 3 mini games give before, wasnt it always 1k MGP
I didn’t so I guess soon I will
Yup
This link is it like I can buy from it or is it just to show the prices ? If it is not then which website I should check to buy ?
that shows you all possible mounts in the game
if you want to buy mounts, you can check the mogstation

and there are some story mounts there
So the regalia mount is just 200k, right?
Only pet i will ever use is windup Haurchefant
I’m sorry but where is mogstation ?
U can currently buy the regalia mount?
Not now, when it cimes out
:(
It was 200k before
I cant wait to fly regalia and then crash it repeatedly
Sorry, gotta wait till september
No reason it would increase
They should have honestly given jt a unique crashing animation as an easter egg to how hard it was to land in ff15
where is Kakalan? I cant find him anywhere in mor dhona?
anyone having issues with making a character on eu servers? they're all full and i'm losing my mind
I'm a new player and I'm queuing up for this dungeon the tam tara deepcroft but nobody's joining wt should I do?
Game is def struggling tonight.
U can blame asmogold
you wait, theyll come
What does the little symbol next to the level req mean? considering the MSQ for accessing this area is like lvl 79?
Now every big youtuber is jumping on the bandwagon lmao

Ir should yes
50% mgp gain to everything

And a quest line for a enote
After maint
kk ty very much
General tab of action and traits
i know this is stupid but i can't find them
General tab in the action menu
hey guys, is only the last version of the Relic weapon able to be turned into glamour?
No
guess i haven't unlocked them yet
You can buy replcias
If you craft high level bronze ingots, is it really worth it?
replicas?
They should still be in the general tab, just greyed out. You unlock them by atuning to aetherytes
Yes, from Regalin
Hello, i just wanted to know if you need to buy shadowbringer to start the game ?
No
You can do the trial
Anyone actually online in Primal-Behemoth atm? Queue hasnt moved in over 30 minutes
no, only if you want to go past Level 60 / heavensward content
they're not i checked
is it better to buy it when i finished the first version ?
what's that
Yes do the trial first
I want to do side quest level 30 but I did storyline quest up to level 20. Can I still to do level 30 quest? How Quest levels are working?
Npc in gangos
Probably looking at wrong tab then
trial of 30 days right ?
what's the best way to contact SE ? i am on the phone now, and it's been over 30 mins no answer.
Story locks EVERYTHING
No, it's forever
lemme log back in and i'll prove it
thank you
oh yea it"s the 10€ game right ?
where do I see my race chocobo rank?
you misspelled languages by the by :p
Are you sure you attuned to an Aetheryte
I hate English
Where's my British exception
no i'm not but i was told it'd be there even if i hadn't
character > gold saucer > chocobo

thank you
You could consider attuning to an Aetehryte
i was about to do that I just wanted to make a point
hey flying / running around the world saves gil
saves gil but costs time
Damn acheivment shop didint have much
so are you really saving something in the long run
does story quest level locked to character or class?

time = money is true in that case
it's hard to afford until you do your first couple dungeons
you can purchase a glam version of every step you unlocked
The story level is the story level
There is no character level
Magictec deathclaw looks baddass tho
So is it actually not possible to blacklist people in Eureka?
yeah I see, thanks
You need to leave first
but I haven't bought the expansion
Then go into your contacts
can't blacklist in instances
but yeah you have to blacklist them outside the instance
lol
well thats incredible design
is there a point in actually reading the story dialogue
Is there a chance of Balmung opening up for new characters within like 2-3 hours?
Learning the story?
the overwhelming opinion of answers you're going to get in here is "yes"
if you want to know the story and lore
arr at least is pretty boring
most people regard the story as very good
If I did story with archer and I will swap to gunbreaker. Do I have to again story quest because I changed class?
No
lmao no that's like prime time
Story is one and done
thank you so much
You need to do your job quests through for skills
Bryn just opened back up, like half an hour ago it was closed, that's why I was asking
SAM is like the only class that gains basically nothing from doing their jobquest
it is amazing I love game system. Best system so far I saw in MMO history
what's the best way to contact SE ? i am on the phone now, and it's been over 30 mins no answer.
because its gonna be prime time
Send email and hope for response in a few weeks, live support is basically nonexistant since covid as far as i know
is the twinning on spotify?
When you get an insane amount of people in queue to enter the world there's nothing you can do but wait? Launched the game up and it had 1417 players in queue. Now they're down to 383 but it's taking forever!
Just to know in case it happens again, leaving and the queue and entering again would not do anything good?
I know all the servers are pretty full atm, but what server has the most people? I like the feel of very crowded servers
It will reset your queue place so all it does it make it take longer
if i activate the free login campaign, does anything other than inactive show here?
that's why i'm calling them. cuz i know they don't answer their emails quickly, and they don't have live support. and still, no answer .. the problem is their website isn't clear about anything, and on top of that they ask people to contact them.
Ykes! What's causing this types of queue anyway? I saw a few dozens or a couple of hundreds, but it's the first time I see over 1k people in queue
as far as I know they're not on streaming services, it's on youtube tho
protip call as soon as they open
9 am pst for na
whats a good place to pl a blu?
Khlosuia beach
that's what i did .. i'm like 30 mins late.
lv. 70+ enemies w/ a buddy
i did that and someone picked up in 5 minutes
the spot i use is the ghilmans just north of journey's end inn in ahm araeng
i literally dialed as noon as it was opening time
shield your BLU friend, have them pull as many ghilmans as the aggro range will allow, then aoe them all down
thank
when you kill all the ghilmans, move east and pull more mobs
rotate back to the original spot after 3 or so large pulls
yaahh i might do that .. or maybe just keep the phone until they answer.
how easy is white mage compared to scholar
yes
seriously ... SE has the WORST support EVER.
Whats better 510 weapon or 485 relic
maybe i was just lucky
compared to? most companies got a non-existant support.
the guy i got was super helpful
how is the OSTS for pretty much ALL the music for ALL the expansions for this game are on Spotify, but not the twinning of all songs!?
imagine 100k people turning up to your front door and expeccting a answer right away
man wtf happened to the servers. went from playing the game all morning to a 2.7k que and gonna be waiting here a LONG time lol
510
most companies do have atleast live support. i'm currently locked out of my account, and can't do anything about it
Popularity jumped massively
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/d496db08988/ can someone help me with this quest?
i did the previous one to unlock ananta tribe
but this one isn't showing up for me
do I need to increase the beast tribe reputation first or
Ty
if i activate the free login campaign, does anything other than inactive show here?
Rolling as a Conjurer right now as a new player. Are the crafting/gathering profs something I should be working on at the same time? Are they worth investing in?
no
Don't need to get into that stuff unless you want to
It's a bit annoying too when you don't have access to retainers and the marketboard on free trial
how does the diffictuly compare between white mage and scholar
Can still start it though
are they profitable?
i like the scholars style but it seems pretty comlicated
It's the main money making way honestly
are there certain ones that are more useful/profitable than others (sorry for the barrage here hahaha)
If i but the starter edition when i have the free trial can i actually get in queue to get into the game and do i have to start paying subscription immediately or wait till lvl 60?
buy*
Once you buy, you can't do the trial anymore
does anyone know whats treasure hunt portal? there is a party that invited me and i dont know whats going on
you lose all trial access upon buying the game, but the base game comes with 30days of subscription
Special dungeon from.8man maps
wait but does this mean my free login is on right now or no
Get alot of money and rare mats
ok thnx @faint flare
There is a free login campaign right now.. if thats what you mean? Sry not sure what you're asking
as in
Am I able to buy the PS4 disc version of shadowbringers and play it on my Ps5 and will I get the other dlc with shadowbringers ? Ty.
worth buying guys? https://prnt.sc/1d73rox
Yes it'd a free upgrade to ps5
im tryna help a friend with a dungeon but he cant play because internet issues so he gave me his acc info
It's the best 50 gear
Anyone know the size of a server for one world? I'm literally in a queue in twintania for over 3k people 😂
So
Is note 29 a super rare drop? I've done 12 DR runs but that note refuses to drop in comparison to other notes
Yes
hello im new to the game and like chilling/afking chatting in bars/cafes. is there a certain data center best for me?
Crystal
every DC has a decent bar scene
We told you times before
crystal probably has the most serious one
Noob question. what does this mean
Crystal with balmung and mateus have he main Rp scene
Your armoury chest holds your equipment
Is there a class/job similar to Revenant in gw2? Good for solo pve: Aoe attacks, good dmg, good sustain, decent health pool. Not a glasscanon, not a tank.
looking to try out ff14. went through the ff14 wiki but still cant decide what to play
All jobs not a tank
oh ok, so it goes in inventory because i cant use it and i can move it over
you're gonna need to give us more specifics
Also do you ever get more inventory space?
every class in the game has aoe attacks and damage, tanks have a higher health pool than other classes, and sustain depends heavily on the class
you can use your chocobo saddlebags if you aren't using them
More options for storage between inventory, chocobo saddle, glamour dresser, etc.
WAR, RDM, PLD have particularly strong self-sustain
Ah ok thanks
can i check from what content can i get this weapon ?
i played GW2 in the past but I don't remember revenant at all
from this website
That's arr relic
so can't help you there
A Realm Reborn relic quest - the Zodiac Weapons.
Its a long (long*), arduous grind so be prepared for a number of weeks work
its not this weapon only, i want to beable to see from what content can i get it within the website
do they type that?
Yes
is there a way ti travel around ul' dah tiny crystal without being near 1
are there really 1,370 players in queue on shiva or is this some sort of maintenece ?
Only aethernet shards can get you to another shard
the numbers are a bit messed up rn, but there really are a lot of people in queue
Yes game too popular
what am I forgetting
There really is, the WoW exodus has hit all regions (including EU)
turn your crystals to the nodes in mor dhona
ty
oh wow, even on a monday ? guess i'll wait
it is an EU peak hours
i just broke masked carnivale i dont what to do
@open rivet what nodes lel
Hey I have a quick question cause im confused
Which day does weekly fashion report and cactur tricket refresh again?
i doing Midsummer Night's Explosion and used Ram Voice with Ultravibration, which kill things instantly, well i killed the boss and now i can't leave cause i'm still in combat
^
I want to try healer job. Should I care about racial stats?
How do I get the hard versions of trials? I thought I had them but ig not
no, racial stats are like a drop of water on a volanco
you get like, 2 main stat difference
oof 700 people in queue
is palace the fastest way to level a dps?
technically fastest is to find a healer friend and spam dungeons
palace is a good solo method
no, but it's faster than standing around waiting on queue
i dont have friends
hey how do you unlock journeys end gear for alt jobs
and im on trial
palace it is
what level are you cause I can just lvl up a healer n help you out
Do the role quests
And hit 80
already done it
im 23
Then hit 80 on those jobs
shitt
first did it for paladin so I just need to hit 80 for warrior and I get the warrior gear too then?
Yes
hm I might be able to help you later then ill focus on leveling scholar or something to help
is there a way to contact the ff14 cosmetic store support? bought items and selected the right character, but the mail was sent to another character on a wrong server
or are those account wide?
Depends on the item
an outfit and a mount
Account wide stuff says it on the listing
well in the store it says "For one character" but could that mean its a one seater?
1 character
ye but whats the deal than when i select the right character and the store decides to randomly select another one?
How do you properly use Flare as lv50? Is there a specific way I’m meant to use it or reduce the cost?
Aoe finisher
?
!faq blmleveling
You use it at the end of your fire phase
use it to finish off your target
In aoe
hi all, any way to prevent discord notifications showing up on FFXIV while i'm playing?
Check that AOE section there, bottom half
Then tranposw
Thats for blm roatations?
Like going in Do Not Disturb on Discord you mean?
ShB Relics will be avalible after i complete all MsQ?
You can start after 5.0
That info only references leveling rotations, the ENDGAME rotation for BLM 80 will be different - so make sure you look those up when the time comes
thx let me give it a try
You need 5.4 to finish relics
Oh and what do i have to do? I dont have the starting quest anywhere... Do i need to finish all older relics?
What is B3-B1?
Blizzard 3/1
Do the lv70 24mans
B for Blizzard, T for Thunder and F for Fire, these may have different names in other languages..?
Ty
Thanks
I was using Flare wrong way, thought it was big dmg finisher for AoE and ST.
I'm currently in free trial so when I try to enter a server it says it's too full and logs me out.If I buy the starter edition will I be put into the queue and not logged out?
When does Maintenance start?
You'll get a finisher for single target later actually, "Despair". Make sure you save a hotbar slot for it
Correct, Subbed players wont get the force quit - they just get put into the queue. SO buying the starter and a subscription.
Before you buy, make sure you check the guide:
!faq buy
flare for AoE is actually pretty fucky while leveling
Thanks and wow, just noticed we have an entire dedicated to Asmon lol.
a lot of times, your shit is going to die before you can finish your flare cast
which is pretty annoying
so you can opt to save your swiftcast to get your flare off
flare usage gets a lot better after you learn triplecast and the level 68 trait that makes your flares not eat your whole mana bar
basically your aoe rotation is a pain in the ass until the late 60s
More reasons for me to dislike BLM gg
Do you need to find out where the missing item is in the gold saucer quest? Is that a clue?
question is there a LFG channel?
i think finally i figured out why i could not login to the game or do anything. I had made an account on the "store" page and not on the "secure" page and i cant login to that with the store account, extremely confusing...
Is the price of the Exarchic still around 40~50k? Cause it has been a while im not finding any for this price, and im still a bit far from opening the npc/finishing SHB
Depends on your server - if you cant check the marketboard, use the !market commend in #kupo-bot-spam to get a rough idea.
On my NA server the price tripled or more recently, so not for me
Check market board
not looking for a free company just pepole to do dungeons with (having issues with clearing snowcloak)
hey clan hunts for the foundation are not letting me do them and I don't see the quest "let the clan hunt begin" to unlock them
You can use #recruitment for that even if many people dont
ah
!faq hunt
!faq hunts
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
Should you keep any old the old gear you get early on?
You need to unlock ARR hunts
Otherwise, theres always Party Finder. May take just as long though because people dont go in there lookin for Snowcloak persay but who knows
Thanks a lot, will check
Up to you! Are you leveling any more of those jobs in the future? Is it just random dungeon/NQ crap or is it tome gear for your alts? Etc. etc.
Ive been wandering through every world i have available and always bit expensive, will try the bot
Weapons: no except if you want to use it for glamour.
Everything else: if you don’t see yourself leveling up another job that can use it anytime soon then basically the same as weapon
Im doing just 2 chars i think. But for the moment nah wasnt sure if any items worth for glamour
Also up to you, I kept my chest piece from Sastasha all these years because I like the glam, but otherwise I dumped it all cuz I leveled all the jobs it used. You know?
can you change worlds for your main char?
Paid Transfer, yeah - its like 15 bucks or 18 bucks? New characters on preferred worlds right* also have to wait 3 months iirc. (Assuming the other world isnt congested)
New characters on preferred worlds*
Should I base my 1st toon off my fav wow class. Monk or fav ff person vivi which is black mage
I'm level 28 and I still haven't gotten a chocobo mount
Dont consider it as mattering, since your starting class means nothing - you can unlock other jobs and you can do it quite quickly after you start, too! (Unless it matters to you for roleplay reasons ofc)
I'm just following the main scenario quests
!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.
do I have to do something else to get a mount
but can I visit other worlds?
oka thx
Make sure you follow that up there, and have completed that MSQ quest needed. If you havent yet, keep going
i got a question about glamour, so I get that for every gear piece i convert into glamour i need a prism, but for applying that glamour to my gear is that infinitely free?
yes
Yep, world visit to any server on your data center - and party up / do dungeons and raids with any person from any server in your DC. Your home world only matters for trade and for your Free Company (guild), couple more small things
If you are using the glam plates then yeah its free
I need a reason to buy the Whale mount so i can justify it 😄
Is the Make it rain event active now or after maint? 😮
Is there a guide to know what the top right icons on triple triad cards do?
Nothing in game mentions it
Already active
they're tribes for ascend/descend
What's ascend/descend?
@wispy shell basically some boards have element slots, you match the slot to your cards element and it gets stronger, put your element card on a diff element slot it makes it weaker by 1/-1
A ruleset
where is the NPC that can teach me botany?
Gridina
okay
is there some event on EU rn? usualy the queues are just like 50 or so rn its 600+?
Hey, you guys know the rotation sheet you just linked me, is there one for the other classes?
Its the World of Warcraft Exodus, back at it again. Affecting all regions, hold onto your butts
Where did you find that in game?
old gridania.
Not ingame, on the arrtripletriad.com website!
i dont think this serve is a streamer one tho
some triple triad npc at the saucer probably explains rules
Spriggan
Depends on the job, we (subreddit discord), don’t make any of the job faqs
Still, in a hundred thousand (plus) players enough of them are gonna filter in to your server too, haha
BLM has one because how often and extreme their rotation changes are.
It a universal thing, all servers are experiencing an unprecedented influx of new players
I think SAM has one too
Is there a way to keep a minion on my shoulder at all times?
SE sold out of codes
why today tho what happend?
It's not.just today
New seasonal event
It's been going all week
It's not today tho
It's been like this all week
idk all other days its been fine for ,me
WoW exodus has been affecting us for about two weeks, I understand its EU peak hours tho
i been logging on everyday
Oh that sucks, I have love to have all the sheets saved.
hm 10pm on a monday iot is summer vacation tho so i guess
does this literally just make it faster?
so at uldah it says im not authorized to participate in the hunt
thanks
You need to rank up to 2nd Lieutenant
im flame captain
Are there any quests at the base?
then you need to do the quest "let the hunt begin!"
i don't see it anywhere
oh i see it now, its with mimio mio
on the map it saids its other quest cause she has 2
ye on the map it can only show 1 quest, so if a quest giver has multiple one of them won't show
gotta actually talk to them to see the others
Where can I buy DoL gear?
Same places/NPCs you buy combat gear for the most part.
okay
Hi im new to ff14 and creating my account. however, it keeps saying my password is invalid. i even changed my password to another, thinking that something was wrong with the characters but to no avail. can anyone help?
Does anyone know of GC expert delivery NPCs in other places besides the main 3 towns?
So I've read somewhere that Aether is has more streamer, while Primal has more people who plays Endgame instead. Is this true? Lol XD
is monk ping reliant?
am i able to join a guild or whatever it's called here if i'm on the free trial
does anyone know a good lfg feature?
every job is to a degree. monk isn't the most ping affected job i'd argue
is there a way to get lord of vermillion tournament points by playing against npc's?
fuck
You might have read that because Asmongold and Critikal/ others are here on Aether, but otherwise I wouldnt say either of those are true.
Theres RP on all NA data centers, theres Endgame on all NA DCs, etc. etc. Its more balanced now than ever
i'd say it's the biggest limitation of the free trial
and a reason to buy starter edition if you want to get invested in the social aspects of the game
even if you don't have any extra actual content from starter edition
I dont think there are, you have to go there every day to hand in. Maybe use Home Point for Return or some Flame/Adder/Mael tickets?
I see, lol XD
Can I buy bone white dye from a vendor?
yes
yes
is it a special type
nope basic dye
okay
Do free trial players and subbed players both have to queue the same to get into full realms?
is it really that free trial players can't join the server if there is a queue ?
Only if the que is too big
because i got in queue in the morning but now i can't join
oh ok
Can I change the in-game clock to a 24hr display?
Is there a way to make this a toggle? So you can enable/disable other peoples names?
wait there is an event thatstarted there are a bunch of those cactuses everywhere in limsa
can i somehow check all the outfits in one like in a database or smth? from pvp!

do you know any guides/info about this event?=
!faq mgpguide
btw can i check how much is the queue?
oh is it jst gold saucer?
how much big **
If you need a guide to the quest itself go to the first pin in #archived-lore-spoilers
ah ok so its some kind of event involving thge gold saucer neat
Try Garlandtools, you have to filter gear manually tho
Hwo do I do the Great Horn Heist?
so I had this issue a while back, but I started playing again recently and whenever I say, drag a skill to another slot on my hot bar or click on gear in my inventory it keeps double clicking, left or right click it does it
hey do you have to turn in hunts somewhere once your done?
It's automatic
oh cool
!faq instruments
darn
!faq perform
Maybe that what youre looking for?
I'm about to do the final instance (I think) does anyone have any tips or rotations for playing at the other characters? I've never played rdm, ast, or whatever the heck ||graha tia|| is
you dont get to play the jobs
Basically just read their tooltips
the roleplay characters have like 1 damage button, 1 heal and some other button
I think they're usually boiled down so much that they should be doable, like 4 buttons or something. Take a minute to read before you start fighting
is there a "general" chat in FF? like general chat in WoW?
And you can easily figure ot ouy
hey guys is anyone able to help me figure out what i need to do to complete the gold Saucer fashion report for maximum amount?
what's the best way to talk to a zone?
!fr
or is there no way?
Shout is zone wide
there looks like a good few buttons for each one and I don't want to just button mash and do the least damage possible lol
^
its the same as previous roleplay duties that you did in msq
there's like 6 or 7 of them by now if not more
is there attack/animation cancelling
is it true that you'll need 230k MGP for the flying car event next?
so you need to wait no matter what
No
Animations don't do anything
You don't need to wait
It's called weaving
!faq weaving
Click the recruit a friend banner in the mogstation “your account” menu
on mog station
You might need to click on the menu button twice for it to appear
so if i do heavy shot+blood letter in quick succession does it do it both
Yes
ah ok
You weave bloodletter
so with the event is the challange log and fashion contest also double?
dammit i already finished both of them earlier in the week :/
All sources of MGP but consumable tokens and trading in TT cards get boosted.
Hey i am new player from europe trying to open new char and some why it saying cannot open new chars at the moment
the closest aspect of the game to this is called slidecasting for casters. you can start moving before your cast is over and not cancel the cast
it's a very important aspect of casters
ah
otherwise, the game queues abilities and gcds as you press them
i'm probably not gonna play a caster tho
What items does the campaign attendant offer that you can't normally get outside this event?
and every gcd and ogcd ability have a 600 ms "animation lock". the next action queues after that lock is over
Can I permanently change my idle animation or do I have to type /cpose every time?
The minion and cactuar stuff
Yes...after some delay it will go to the /cpose and you can change the delay in character configuration
Ahh ok thx
hello i'm coming from wow, is there in in ff14 someting like guilds/clans?
Free companies
Sweet works exactly as I wanted
@faint flare is there benefit to be in 1, like more xp,etc?
They have 2 daily buffs the leaders put up
Usually Xp + one other
And the social aspect
Of a guild
ofc social aspect 😄
I'm told that Free Companies are less raid-centric than Guilds are so keep that in mind
what option if u want to make unsync
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
You can raid content with any static you want, a Free Company just has the house, the FC buffs, etc.
Do I need to complete the make it rain quest to get the MGP bonus?
Me and my friend are playing on a Light database.
I'm on Twintania, she's on Shiva. Can I add her as a friend and play with her? Or do I have to play the lottery to get onto the same server as her?
thanks
okay
Yes you can world visit
To their server
You can add friends cross-world, as well as travel (World Visit), party up, do content, all that good sutff
Allright thanks! It's not very clear as to how you are supposed to "add friend" to friendlist 
But under one condition, they must be in the same data center as the one that your friend is on.
If both of you world visit the same world, in the same spot (Limsa etc.) - get in a party, and then should be able to invite each other to friends list from there
is the BA raid in Eureka required for story completion?
Guys, i’ve gotten the fatal directx error thrice in less than 15 mins, what should i do to fix it?
And I have a question. One of my fellow members of my FC asked if anyone wanted to do the Copied Factory. The requisite item level requirement to get in is 435 and my white mage is 473. The thing is that I do not have the Copied Factory unlocked myself. Does it require the completion of patch 5.3 or later to unlock it?
is Eureka story difficult to complete? Or it is just like Bojza difficulty-wise?
It's literally just progress through the zone
Only 5.0 for all nier raids
thanks. I just want story completion and grind for armor/weapon in that place
Ah. Only the completion of the quest bearing the expansion's name is required. Thanks. I just wanted to get clarification on that.
Hey how do i augument the cryptlurker armors. Also is there a cryptlurker weapon?
i saw you need some sort of tokens
By buying the augment items via all 3 nier coins, sacks of nuts or drops from savage then give it to the gear exchange guy in eulmore
The weapon needs 4 blades from Eden promise eternity and 1k revelations
GATE duty finder is taking time, is that normal?
Yes if a ton of people queue for it

Now with that question out of the way. Which quest do I start the nier raids
Word about Korma in Torna
I'm just returning after like years away, I have three classes at lvl 50 which I can pick up from to get to max lvl again: White Mage, Black Mage, & Paladin and I'm wondering which one is most desirable rn for groups
The ones you play better
Aka all of them
I don't know how to play any of them anymore and have to relearn everything anyways lol, so not very relevant
Time to learn! Take as much time as you need, read over the skills and stuff
All classes are equally viable
That does not mean every class is equally desirable for group content...
It is
Balance actually exists here
People want good players
A good black mage destroys anyone
Despite offering no raid utility
!faq meta
Alright it's fine if noone wants to answer, but don't try to convince me my own question has no meaning, obivously skill matters, but that doesn't mean metas dont exist
Meta doesnt exist, truly
It literally does
I’d say BLM is less desirable purely for being a DPS
Since most party finders are waiting for a Tank or Healer
teleport out
We promise, pick what you like - thats what matters most! Heck pick a few different jobs,
Thank you for actually saying something relevant to my question
that still doesn't matter at all
the only reason they're less in demand is because there's just more dps classes
DPS are still relevant tho, cuz even a full party only needs 2 healers and 4 DPS, twice as many
this game is considerably more skill based than meta based, all classes are balanced, just pick whatever you want.
is there a way to get all aethernet crystal at once ?
!faq metameme
In high end raids, everyone is needed
That is something that might not matter to YOU, it does matter to ME, we are different people - how easy it is to get into a group matters to me, and that's what my question was - not just what class can be good
Then play white mage
"Job effectiveness" is not what I asked about - I asked about desirability to groups...
shortest que times
and your question was answered. every class is desired.
Healers are always in demand
Of course - ease of getting into a group / desirability is judged on player skill in this game, not class - but yeah, GOOD healers are always in demand
In high end raids everyone is needed
ultimately you would need a static and find what that static needs
You can still find many spots as a dps player in statics
So heal up and then learn how to be a DPS healer - your job in raids demands that you ABC = Always Be Casting, as a healer you should do as much damage as possible and heal when necessary
Both. Both things can be factors. You need to be good and the right fit for a group. One factor existing doesn't invalidate the other like you guys seem to think.
Yeah. There’s a speedrunning meta, but all jobs are valid for normal play. Play a tank or a healer if you want to be “in demand.” No one will reject a BLM, even if it’s selfish.
being flexible is always helpful
@unreal creek white mage, there I gave you an answer, stop debating and start playing
You need to be good but the "desirability cap" if you will is never going to be the same among classes
Isn't Machinist not as desired since it's a selfish DPS class without the damage to back it up?
just play what you want.
arguably but i still get into parties fine because i do good with it, and i find it fun

no. Again, every class is equally desired.
Machinist is perfectly fine and desired if you're good
play what's fun, no one gives a shit what you play as long as it's standard comp
isn't there a buff for having no duplicate classes in a raid?
People desire SKILL, not specific jobs
Obivously I can do that, i can play whatever I want, but why do I feel like Im being attacked for having the gall to ask the question and being told the question means nothing
you get debuffed if you have tw oof the exact same class
@heavy wadi just start naming random jobs till he realizes it doesnt matter
The debuff is slower limit break generation
I think the best option here is a "good healer", one that can dish out hardcore damage while healing the minimum amount they have to*. DPS are like fish in a barrel, but a healer is always needed and a good, __damaging __healer I think is -the most desirable thing- for a raid group because these can be diamonds in the rough. Maybe that helps?
And also the indirect debuff of identical class buffs not stacking
Well, it’s not equally desired. But MCH is fine. Tactician is decent support, and people will take a good MCH. Because MCH is “selfish” and ranged, it’s fairly reliable no matter where it goes.
Like raid utility/damage buffs and mitigation
(If that leans more to answering your question)
if a person can do mechanics and do good dps then they'll want you
haivng more classes to be flexible for comps is the best way to be desired as a whole
Just do your job
that's pretty much the best answer
is there a way to add final fantasy xiv to msi dragon center gaming mode?
play your role properly, play it well
so it can apply the filters and stuff to it upon openiong the game
probably a question for #technology-discussion
Go look on fflogs and see how close jobs are to each other
ty
I guess the reason we're struggling with your question is because its like asking "Which colour is more like purple: green or orange?", this isn't really that sort of game, getting into group is easy, just be good at what you do
Ya'll are the wrong crowd for me, I was a theorycrafter for a long time, anyone who claims true balance ever exists does not know what they are talking about, it's literally an impossibility - skill matters, but the skill cap, the best you can be, will always vary between classes, "desirable" doesn't mean tiers dont exist within that, I have to find a proper theorycrafting forum now that I'm getting back in, clearly, because the meta IS playing what I enjoy
@unreal creek bye bye then
You cleared never played ths game
Unlike wow
Balance actually exists
The endgame content isn’t tight enough to require extreme damage optimization for a party.
Go look on fflogs
Outside of basically week 1
And see how close jobs are
im lvl 53 why are msq quests giving me nothing but 4300 exp? i need 1.5m for the next level lmao
To each other
Balance exists at a certain level, balance never exists at the highest level
this game is not wow, don't treat it as such. all classes are balanced, play what you want. the devs will not pull a fast one and nerf your favorite class.
You're in post patch quests
if you want to be pednatic about it, play samurai for damage or something
But it does
The Devs care
also balance does exist, output is very very very close to one another
Nice
it exists at literally every level.
I got 2/3 of the gold saucer glamours I want
is dc travel here??
And see how close jobs are
No, that's post September
in 5.58? probably not.
either way the bottom line is if you want to be pedantic about maximum output, play samurai or something. else, you're gonna be thinking about 'uhhh what's the best/desired' all day

You can check "The Balance", thats the FFXIV group based around hardcore, high-technicality for Healing, tanking and doing damage.
But yeah obvioulsy the best Black Mage will beat the best Bard because thats how the class is designed - but desirability for Black Mage would still be "lower" in our case because its too selfish, no raid buffs. Either way you wont find a different answer in "the balance", but thats your next stop anyways I think
!faq balance
no one cares outside of speedkills
Do I need to proceed into post SB for extremes of those trials?
I do care about the maximum output, I do not think it's pedantic, and I'm sorry I offended you by caring about that.
No. Just finish base
@unreal creek you asked a question and refused the same answer everyone is giving you, why are you still here?
I guess for max DPS then black mage or samurai
Then go look at fflogs and the damage of each job this tier
for healing white mage
Then go to FFLOGS and just pick whatever is highest on the charts to suit your choice.
it's pedantic because you're being told the output is so very similar between classes that you 're getting a few percentage over an equal job
but again
for tank warrior or dark knight
i did recommend samurai if you wanted amx output to also answer your question
and again, check fflogs
so what do i do to level cause msq isnt giving me anything really i need alot more exp than 4k per quest
you will see damage output differences there
Your level means nothing
Do story
Just remember @unreal creek that "highest" has no relation to "desirability", as you mentioned that one specifically (which is I think what we're tryina get at)
It's mandatory
Yes, I see the question was answered, and thank you for those who did answer - it's just frusturating to need to defend the question against so many dismissals first to get it answered
@unreal creek You are the one dismissing the answer: THERE IS NO MOST DESIRABLE CLASS/JOB
CAUSE THE DEVS GIVE A DAMN
How does gear stats get shrinked when level sync happens?
I understand the character lvl and actions getting disabled.
FFXIV isn't really like wow, its doesn't have the same class demands
!faq meta
It's not a dismissal, it's how this game works. We're vet players telling you this.
Yes
People pretty much don’t care about party load outs as long as you’re not a duplicate job.
it's genuine advice because if you theorycraft and try to min-max everything you're going to put in a disproportionate amount of effort and stress into something that amounts to like a few percentage of DPS at most
how do you gain levels then? just curious
You'll likely be doing the content between expansions. XP is low there cos it didn't really matter at the time of release once you hit the next expac it'll shoot up again
Or are using a load out that’s detrimental to the encounter, like one tank for a duty that needs 2 tanks for tank swaps
Do story
Odd, where do I unlock them?
Drop the wow mentality.
and besides that doesn't matter, since you play every class on one character and it doesn't take hundreds of hours to level all jobs.
I think its fair for people that havent played FFXIV "Dont get it" right off the bat, but truly a lot of us have been here since Launch/ARR and we've seen the evolution to where we're at, so we're correct. No worries
no one is going to turn down a good red mage if they show up first over a black mage
Since I took a break after finishing base sb
It's not effort or stress to me, it's fun to me. I theorycraft because it's fun.
Plus, any job “meta” that exists now will be overturned in four months anyways.
Continue story and do daily roulettes
Yeah, this. You may get like, a 1% difference,
oh okay thanks for an actual explanation
Your xp will return to normal when you get to heavensward
We're gonna end the conversation about meta here
the theorycrafting is already done
gotcha
Your answer was given and people seem to be dogpiling now
Again, your level is meaningless without story progress
Ya'll have a lot of assumptions, being told that I shouldn't do the thing I love in a game, and being told I'm playing the game wrong if I do, essentially being told to go back to WoW by a few of you, is disheartening, it is really
If you want a discord dedicated to theorycrafting and endgame optimization, head over to the balance discord
!faq balance
Unncessarily hostile, ya'll are.
No one is being hostile
I meant to say that I understand how the character/skills part get sync.
But gear... How do they sync gear coz there's a lot of variety?
you're taking exception to people trying to give genuine advice that disagrees with your presumptions about the game but okay
You are most welcome to theorycraft if you would like but the reality is unless you're the top 0.1% of players it doesnt matter
Speedkillers basically play a different game
That is all
Your gear is synced to the highest ilvl of thst time, all stats in it
this game is really well balanced
I thought PLD was good in speed meta?
is there a way to change the sensitivity of controlling the camera with keyboard?
Like I said, this kind of statement, and many others like it I've gotten, make it clear I am very much not welcome to play I want in this particular community.
apparently DRK has been taking it over due to better burst in 60s windows, but this is word of mouth from a friend
No one is telling you that, just that this game is not wow and there's no need to hyperoptimize because everything is pretty balanced.
anyways, your question was answered.
You get a ring
for jobs you get a ring, for gc you have to do it to rank up, iirc
@unreal creek if you feel that way then leave, you are just mad no one is telling you "play X because its the most desirable"
argument aside, i wanna make clear that no one said you're not welcome, it's just not a mentality that works out well because there's not much to gain from it in this game
I dont think its overly complicated - if you sync down to 20, they just have some calulator that flatters your level 80 chest piece to "Whatever a high quality chest piece we deem would be at level 20". Just pretends its item level 20 while you're in the dungeon, you know?
What does the ring do?
Nobody told you not to do it. You're question was answered for the 99.9% of players.
This game isn't WoW and works differently in that the classes are inherently far more equally balance
Just be fancy
Wrong reply
Has your job symbol on it
it's mostly just cosmetic at this point
Thats kinda nice
It doesn't matter if it's a small difference, because to some people, eking out the small difference is the fun part. It's the entire point of playing games for some people. To eke out perfection bit by bit.
Theorycrafting is more for optimal rotations and stuff
Which the balance discord does
do job quests have a different kind of symbol or something?
And been linked prior
So... back to my question, where do I go to unlock extreme for Base SB trials?
I'm level 30
The minstrel in Kugane deals with them
You get different rewards for job vs. GC hunting logs, IIRC. Job logs give you specific seals (e.g., Storm Seals), whereas GC logs give you Allied Seals. They can be used for different purposes. Dunno if that matters to you.
All are in Kugane by the marketboard
talk to the minstrel in kugane
@unreal creek your question was "which job is most desirable" the answer is they are equally desirable because you cant stack classes efficiently
For thr most part
Oh, shot
aye, check out the balance then
point still stands that no one was saying you weren't welcome is all and i wanted to clear that up
Never went back to kugane
Totally, rotations are where the true theorycrafting has meaning, theres a LOT of juice to be squeezed in that area specifically. Thats part of what "The Balance" is all about so i definitely recommend it
Thanks. So they have a specific set of item stats fixed for every class who gets synced to say 50 from any higher level and it doesn't change depending on if they're wearing different type high lvl gear, 👍?
They're tracked under the main scenario tracker top left
where and which quest do I have to do to advance into a job
Will do, thanks
(They even theorycraft / minmax crafting and gathering, believe it or not. Great place for informaiton)
this is my last attempt to let you guys know we're finishing up here with the meta talk. Yes it does exist no its not important enough compared to skill in a job. optimizing a job can be equally fun
he looks like yoshi p in a samurai costume right next to the aetheryte
It uses your gear stats and lowers them to be appropriate for level 50 gear
picking up what you want matters more than overall comp
will have everything you need to unlock ex's
Which if it isn’t specified is i130
Yeah basically, if you're level 60 and I'm level 80 and we both end up in a 50 Trial, we pretty much end up with the same gear/item level while we're in there, you know?
I'm sure its a bit different but not by enough to matter (2% or smth)
Hey I'm playing on Ps5 and I got the free upgrade thing and I realized I'm not a free trial but I never bought the game. I'm worried I'll be locked out of my character though after the time limit ends, if I keep my character under 60 will I still be able to play by chance or am I out of luck either way?
medicow i do appreciate your interest in theorycrafting but at this point it has moved beyond the confines and purpose of this channel. if you would like to continue this conversation please take it to #endgame-lounge or #general-discussion or any of the theorycrafting channels in the balance for even further in depth discussion about optimization
out of luck
In the end .. maybe not much difference but just wanted to know.
Thanks guys.
your sub will run out regardless of your level if you sub at all
I never subbed though
after a certain point it's not much difference at all
I got the free ps5 upgrade cause of the free trial on ps4
But I'm able to trade and stuff even though I never paid a penny
i'm confused then, so are you subbed or not subbed?
check your mogstation account that you use for ps ffxiv
it'll tell you what type of account you are
Okay
question, is it possible to make different HUD layouts on jobs? I'd love to have a different hotbar setup for tank and dps.
If MogStation does not have (Free Trial) next to account type then you have a standard account that was subbed at one point
Currently there is 14 days free if you haven't been subbed in like a month
So could be that
are the reservation times for a marriage in eorzea or local time?
yes for specifically hotbars. you have a large amount of them you can have them 'share' and such
It says Standard but says it's 24 days (Free Play Period)
You probably got a month free at some point but you can trade as it's a standard sub
And then says days subscribed 0. Only access to ARR and Heavensward
But I can trade and stuff
I think you mean "hud layout entirely"? In which case also yes, I have a 2nd UI with a HUUGE Party List for when I'm on Healer, and its tiny when I'm tanking. Here:
the thing I am looking for is that on tank I want a bigger hotbar with all my mitigation on, and I don't want this on dps.
it likely gave you the standard edition for free then
Yes this can be done
you're officially subbed though and will need to pay sadly
@unreal creek FFLogs might be a good site to see how classes are doing on different fights. You can sort by aDPS, which is the personal damage a job does, and rDPS, which is the amount of damage it brings to a raid, with rDPS being the most important, especially for jobs like Dancer, which is more about giving buffs.
you can save different layouts for different jobs
is there a way to make it automatically switch, without just creating a second preset in the HUD layout options?
Unsure myself - but you can set up your own Hotkey, so that you can do it in a split second anyways:
Do a little Shift+F1 and Shift+F2 magic maybe, you're golden
you can set up a macro
so that when you use that gearset it'll switch huds as well
/hudlayout 3```
like this
Clearly I need to use Macros more often
how do i get champions lance under marketboard price of 210k
Transformation Macros are where it's at
Well, you can look up the materials to craft it, buy those yourself, and ask someone you know or someone in Limsa /shout if they can be nice and make it for you? Might end up costing less that way
(Or you can start server-hopping in your data center to see if another server has it cheaper?)
so, about the weekly lockout. If I understand it right, I can get one piece of gear and 1 coin from the tower at paradigm's breach per week, and it resets tomorrow at 3pm-ish ST?
Yes
and if i run it more, that would be for cards/cosmetics
It should be removed tomorrow
yer
quick question, what was sub allocation for whm 535 relic? piety-det-crit?
Crit det sps
hmm makes sense. thx
where can i find the list of servers and what they're best for?
removed tomorrow? as in no more lockouts?
e.g. french players, roleplayers etc
or reset
want to make sure i dont choose the wrong one
!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
alright
Do we know that or are we hoping
so after the update it should be gone, no need to wait for reset
It follows normal patterns
it could change but its very unlikely that it wont
Everything is unlocked before the expansion
hey guys, ive finished shadowbringers msq and im looking to get into some higher end content. do i look for a fc or do i go with a static? also how do i go about that
final patch and all that jazz
Since it's all irrelevant when the expansion hit anyway
Let people farm what they want
Then take time off for the expansion
the only use of the coins is to enhance cryptlurker?
how many smith trainings are there
Yes
so once more with the HUD stuff, is there a way to change keybinds in different HUD setups?
Depends on if you're tank or dps or healer
I assume not right?
