questions-and-help

[lone totem]

but it could have changed

[simple zephyr]

How do I unsync the trial?

wait what

I mean

the Fate?

[slate arrow]

Odin also has a trial

[vale ridge]

Yeah i noticed that, shit was extremely higher than any other gear than i had, i was just extremely confused seeing how Samurai is a DPS class. Ig i have to progress more into the story to get it stronger.

[low flax]

yes there is a lvl 50 trial called urths front

that drops odins armor

[lone totem]

what is the gear score of your samurai

[onyx kiln]

with the Odin FATE you get the full armor set as one item, the trial gives you pieces

[lone totem]

and what is the gear score of your gunbreaker

out of curiosity

@vale ridge

[onyx kiln]

i would say the only real reason to do the FATE is if you want the sword, barding or housing item

[simple zephyr]

But, I was told it would appear in random Shroud Locations, I am not told specifically where.

[vale ridge]

Gunbreaker is 199 and Samurai is 142

[low flax]

yeah thats why

[onyx kiln]

that is the FATE

[lone totem]

40 item levels is tremendous

heck, 30 is tremedous

[simple zephyr]

I know it's FATE

But like

[onyx kiln]

there is a trial of that fight where you get things like the helmet, body armor and such

[simple zephyr]

I wish to have the whole armor piece and stuff but

Just not told where it would be from FATE

[low flax]

yes get the entire armor set by farming the trial

[simple zephyr]

Oh dear god

I'm tired

but ok

I'll try

[low flax]

do you speak english?

[simple zephyr]

I do

Do you?

[onyx kiln]

the FATE is kinda random where it shows up, you got to make notice of the weather in the zones

[vale ridge]

I just miss my Katana man 😭 . But now i know though, its not like i have outdated gear either, Gunbreaker's shit must be THAT much stronger.

[onyx kiln]

if there is Tension in the air as a weather type, then he is in that zone somehwhere

[lone totem]

like I said, 40 item levels is an incredible amount

[twilit arch]

completely unnecessary my dude

[low flax]

Open a party finder and farm urth's front on unsync and youll get the armor set in like 10 minutes

[vale ridge]

Yeah i'll work on it

[simple zephyr]

So, is it possible if I were to keep teleporting to each shroud location every 2 minutes? Imagine that was weird idea.

Would that in theory work?

[lone totem]

like I said before, the weather condition is the tell

and it appears every 2-3 days

[simple zephyr]

2-3 days huh

[lone totem]

(in real time)

[twilit arch]

if you wanna catch the FATE, you should join a hunt linkshell/discord

[onyx kiln]

if you head to the centurio hunt discord, you can have it so that if any user of that finds him, they might ping everyone who have tagged themself for that FATE

[twilit arch]

As they usually call out world boss fates like that

[simple zephyr]

Hunt Linkshell?

Huh

well

I'll join that discord but it would be something I would like try later, idk lol

This idea is nuts

[willow sparrow]

Where can I find the quest for Hard Garuda and Titan?

[twilit arch]

they'll be in the waking sands

[willow sparrow]

I only found Ifrit one

[lone totem]

did you complete it

you have to go in order

[willow sparrow]

oh

Thought I could pick them all up at once

[lone totem]

yeah go beat him up and it'll unlock the next one for you

[willow sparrow]

alright, tahnks

[edgy warren]

How frequent are the sales on steam?

[willow sparrow]

do Trials give loot? I never got any chests on normal mode

[edgy warren]

I'm dissappointed, I have a steam account and not squenix so i cant take advantage of the sale right now

[twilit arch]

for the most part, normal mode of the trials do not give loot

the hard/extreme versions however do

[willow sparrow]

ah cool

[robust magnet]

anyone here play XIV with a G-sync display?

[left cypress]

Is there any way I can

[heavy jewel]

why are main quests giving such little xp after i beat arr base game? like <10000

[robust magnet]

If you mean the post-ARR MSQ quests, probably because at that time there is a cap

[obsidian patio]

because SE doesn't want you to be too overleveled for the expansion

and the quests originally gave 0 EXP

[robust magnet]

^

[heavy jewel]

does the exp start giving a lot again once i get into HW?

[pine oriole]

is there a way to change your race in this game?

[obsidian patio]

yeah once you're back into leveling story it'll be good

[heavy jewel]

woulda skipped the post arr content if i knew it gives like no exp

[robust magnet]

You will get a free Fantasia potion for buying the game (I think), that is how you can re-create your characters appearance, otherwise you need to buy them off the SE store.

[obsidian patio]

you don't get one for buying the game

you get a freebie for completing the A Realm Reborn leveling story.

[leaden ginkgo]

which used to be only beatable after buying the full game

[pine oriole]

sounds cool, thanks!

Do you guys who are playing the game for a long time have alts?

[outer mural]

no

[open ember]

Uh

[robust magnet]

I do not.

[outer mural]

it really depends on what you want

[pine oriole]

Is it a trend to have alts here too? (Sorry I'm a wow "outcast")

[robust magnet]

I know people do make alts though.

[outer mural]

but alts are objectively less efficient than focusing on one char

[open ember]

I have two alts but I play with others on other DCs

[outer mural]

most alts people make are for DC visitting or for RP

i do not participate in either so i hyperfocus my main character

[heavy jewel]

why would you ever have more than one character?

[pine oriole]

oh okay

[outer mural]

the reason i stated above

RP or vistting DCs

[robust magnet]

The only reasons I've seen alts being used is to play with ppl on other DCs (which will be fixed with the new feature), gil-making reasons, and a few other things iirc.

[amber hornet]

60 to 70 is shadowbringer only, right?

[robust magnet]

tbh it's a waste of time.

[outer mural]

or cheesing weekly lockout if you're a fucking maniac but that's also not very efficient

[outer mural]

stormblood only yes

[heavy jewel]

dc stands for?

[outer mural]

shadowbringers is 70-80

[heavy jewel]

want what do you mean rp?

[outer mural]

data center

[robust magnet]

^

[outer mural]

roleplay

[random spoke]

Anyone know the % increase your second job receives after your “main” is 80?

[outer mural]

like people want to play as a different race to mess around or wahtever

[outer mural]

100% up to 70

[pine oriole]

I only thought of making an alt, cos I want to play a Lalafel etc.

[outer mural]

then it's 50% after 70

[faint flare]

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[outer mural]

that's fine if you want to but if you intend to make it your main, then get ready to commit

you can also just fantasia to save yourself some time

[amber hornet]

uhh

[heavy jewel]

also data center visiting? whats that

[amber hornet]

stormblood?

[random spoke]

Thank you

[heavy jewel]

oh nvm

[pine oriole]

Yeah, its good that this game has this potion thingy 🙂

[amber hornet]

does that come with the starter edition?

[outer mural]

stormblood's the 2nd expansion to the game
Heavensward is 50 - 60
Stormblood is 60 - 70
Shadowbringers is 70 - 80

no it comes with shadowbringers

you get both if you buy it

[amber hornet]

ah I see

[pine oriole]

I am kinda torn on what race to play tbh 😛 I love like 3 or 4 of em

[outer mural]

don't get fantasia addiction

people like to joke about it but it's such a big money sink for indecisive people that need dopamine

wish i was kidding

[pine oriole]

It is so hard to pick one tbh.. I like Dragon grills, cat grills, bunnys...

[outer mural]

flip a coin, i stuck with lalafell

[pine oriole]

My only problem with Lalas, is that the armor is small on them 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

And the child faces kinda off-putting

[late fog]

is there an option where you can just hold down an attack key and it queues it and keeps triggering it rather than having to repeatedly click it?

[leaden ginkgo]

Data center visiting will allow anyone from a NA to visit any other NA server

[outer mural]

no

[late fog]

k ty

[outer mural]

the glam isn't bad, just different from taller races

then again half of the reason i chose lala was shitpost value, so, ymmv

[pine oriole]

well I'm on a trial acc anyways, so it is a long time till I get to story 50 where we get that fantasia

[leaden ginkgo]

does someone post Jumbo cactuar lotto #s

[pine oriole]

I once had an own account, like idk 5 or more years ago, but for some reason I can not log into it...

[outer mural]

no the system just does it itself

it doesn't matter anyway because you can only enter before you see the numbers for the week

[leaden ginkgo]

ok so it's not like fashion report

[humble mason]

When going through the msq, is there any other activities or features I should be participating in with free trial?

[spice radish]

how do i try to set up a raid team?

[ocean sonnet]

What's the best starting class if I want to become a Dark Knight? Is it a good first job or should I try something else first (like dragoon?) and play the Dark Knight later?

[outer mural]

any tank's fine

[pine oriole]

do you guys play on steam, or do you play with a normal sqe account?

what is the better way? if there is one

[outer mural]

normal se, either's fine but steam has some more things you may need to set up

anyway wolrick any class is good but i recommend tank because the skills will transfer over

[leaden ginkgo]

If you use steam alot already light as well out it on there

[outer mural]

gameplay skills that is, not literally having skills from one tank go over

[neon fog]

anywhere I can get an indeph break down on relics from arr to ShB, how to obtain, differences between each and proper names/groups of weapons and armors?

[rancid spindle]

How often are there tournaments?

Triple triad I mean

Gotta collect all them cards

[obsidian patio]

the big ones are every 2 weeks, with one week being the one you actively participate in

[outer mural]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Relic_Weapons

[obsidian patio]

those give the FF mascot cards as their exclusive source of them

[neon fog]

THanks

[obsidian patio]

The other type of Tournaments are the Open Tournaments, which happen every 2 hours and have a card tied to getting in first place once

[rancid spindle]

Ye. I want to collect them all, so Ill just have to get platina cards and cross my fingers

Every 2 weeks is nice then. Gives me hope 😄

[humble mason]

When going through the msq, is there any other activities or features I should be participating in with free trial?

[clever lotus]

Is there a guide for tank etiquette? I heard team B usually MT in raids but is it rude of me to taunt when I can see the MT isn't using a damage reduction and I have mine ready?

[spark monolith]

if i do a dungeon unsynced it wont give me xp right

[clever frigate]

so how is this game suppose to be done in these like dungeons if no one is available to do the story quest? like if you play off hours you just have to wait for a party in the queue?

[twilit arch]

correct

[faint flare]

All story things are in roulettes so it pops eventually

Just wait

Dps ques are long by default

Usually 10mins +

[compact prism]

i just finished the little palace of the dead quest but its not in my dungeon list where do i get it?

[twilit arch]

palace of the dead isn't in the duty finder

you need to talk to the captain to queue

[compact prism]

ohh

[faint flare]

Quarrymill

[dull lotus]

I only see straight lines available in the HUD layout

[faint flare]

Wood waiter captain

[dull lotus]

How do people get the off-set hotbar setups like this one:

[compact prism]

gotcha thanks

[faint flare]

That's controller hotbar

[dull lotus]

RIP

[obsidian patio]

yeah they're controller and using PC hotbars to track their cooldowns

[errant swan]

This is more of an opinion than a hard question; is Doman Mahjong worth it for the 5000 MGP challenge? (Play 2 games)?

[clever frigate]

what is the like leaf or flower and stuff by a persons name?

[faint flare]

New player icon

Or returner for flower

[slate arrow]

I'm not sure if that's complete or participate

Cause you could just quit or forfeit

[humble mason]

If I’m on free trial and buy complete edition, do I get to keep my character?

[obsidian patio]

in terms of time spent, absolutely not.

[slate arrow]

yes

[obsidian patio]

you can't abandon the game midway through AFAIK

a single game is easily 30+ minutes

[errant swan]

@obsidian patio TY for the warning. I'll chance my arm at other attractions for more payout. Even Chocobo racing.

[amber hornet]

does shadowbringers get on promo often?

[obsidian patio]

every month or two

[warm yacht]

How does lost assassinate work if there aren't any positionals in bozja?

[obsidian patio]

there's no consistent schedule and 3rd party sellers can do their own thing

[amber hornet]

really? thats nice

Imma just level everything I can to 60 in the meanwhile

don't wanna pay full price because I'm cheap

[faint flare]

Mobs still have a "rear"

Still need to behind them proper

[errant swan]

Sorry to ask again so fast, but I've got my settings so names only appear when I target someone. But pet names are still showing up. Wat do?

[obsidian patio]

they're a separate thing in that category of menus

[faint flare]

Pet display numbers

In the same menu

Minions are under npc tab

[errant swan]

KK

TY

[warm yacht]

can these guys drop clusters

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm yacht]

could have fooled me

[faint flare]

All 4th legion mobs can drop clusters

[humble mason]

If I’m on free trial and plan on getting complete edition, should I buy straight away or wait until I finish Heavensward?

[faint flare]

Buy now only if you really want viera/hrothgar

Or want red mage/samurai at 50

Otherwise it doesn't really help you much, outside of lifting trial limits

[gentle magnet]

hey everyone. just wanted to clarify something - i have the PC (standalone) version of FFXIV, had it for a while. it's on sale right now on steam with all the expansions. i've been told that my current license would be invalid to use on the steam version, i'd have to create a new SE account and resub?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[faint flare]

It's on sale on Se store as well

Least for na

[fallen niche]

Is fashion report always up until the next friday?

[gentle magnet]

oh i didnt notice that, thank you. if i already own ARR and HW, and purchase the complete edition for $24, could i use that key to upgrade?

[faint flare]

It resets Tuesday

[faint flare]

No, just need shadowbringers

[gentle magnet]

i dont have stormblood either though

or does shadowbringers include that?

[faint flare]

It gives stormblood

[gentle magnet]

oh ok cool

[faint flare]

They always bundle old expansions into the new one

[proud spoke]

guys if i buy the game do i get access the market or i need subscription for that ? (i am free to play rn)

[faint flare]

Yes

[clever frigate]

where do you get the like group raid items from?

[proud spoke]

so subscription is only usefull if you want to play lvl 60 and up ?

[clever frigate]

said some chest?

[fallen niche]

So is it not up rn?

Cause I'm looking for the latest thing but the most recent I can find is last week

[clever frigate]

oh wait is it in my inventory alreayd

[faint flare]

The sub is for you to ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME after buying the game

Once your sub runs out, you're hard locked out

Regardless

[proud spoke]

i just want to hover lvl 60 but have nessesaties like chat or market or bank storage

[cosmic pilot]

Are there any more story updates for ShB?

[faint flare]

Nope

[cosmic pilot]

Thanks!

[faint flare]

Once you buy the game, you pay the sub or can't play

No going back to the trial

[proud spoke]

thats stupid(

[heady pelican]

this is kinda lame

[faint flare]

It's a TRIAL

Not "free to play until 60"

[cosmic pilot]

It's on sale rn iirc

[faint flare]

Clear difference and very important difference

[silver minnow]

getting unlimited time to get to 60 with restrictions is more than generous... lol

[leaden ginkgo]

not enough, give them the whole game for free

[faint flare]

Yes, the preferred bonus

But there's no preferred worlds atm

[silver minnow]

back in my day we only were allowed to get to lv35

[chrome island]

Yes

[faint flare]

SE manually decides on if world's need to be preferred or not

And with the clear increase of players

[heady pelican]

What if I started a character a few days ago on a preferred realm, will they get the bonus when they get to 30

[faint flare]

No world's need it

No

Pretty sure they dont

[obsidian patio]

I think the world still needs to be preferred when you hit level 30

[outer mural]

if it was preferred adn they have the boost you'll still have it for at least 90 days from when you made it

as for the free gametime i think it's fine?

[heady pelican]

That's just the road to 70 no?

[cosmic pilot]

Does PC ver also lock each copy with one SE account?

[outer mural]

road to 70 and preferred boost are one and the same

it sticks for 90 days

[obsidian patio]

only steam and PC lock each other out

[heady pelican]

I meant to ask for the level 30 time bonus

[outer mural]

as for the free gametime i would have to check

[obsidian patio]

Mac and PS4/PS5 can exist on any license

[cosmic pilot]

So, if I already have a complete edition, can I log in with another SE account?

[dense sandal]

Why does steam lock every other platform out? Is there a technical reason for that or?

[leaden ginkgo]

why do the rings, bracelet and necklace dont have stats? and if they do only +1

[faint flare]

It only locks non steam licences

[outer mural]

i would assume this would apply, so you have 90 days to get the gift of 15 days

[faint flare]

Due to steam being steam

[obsidian patio]

they do, it's just early level accessories are very stat sparse

[proud spoke]

well yeah i agree
i am looking more for guild wars type of game
i don't like to pay a sub cause i will feel like i am wasting money by not playing 24/7
but i would like to have convince of not being free to play. I am ok with being 2 expansions back from the full server if it not leads to anxiety

[obsidian patio]

accessories have the least total stats in terms compared to other equipment slots

[leaden ginkgo]

ohh okay ty

[obsidian patio]

not sure if i understand you. Are you asking if buying the game on one account lets you play it on another account?

[heady pelican]

But I should buy the game first though

[silver minnow]

not many decent one time pay mmos exist, only other one i can think of is ESO.

[heady pelican]

Surely one platform purchase can only be activated once (i.e. on just a single account) no?

[cosmic pilot]

Let's say I already have a complete edition on one PSN account and already login with my main SE account. Can I login with another SE account on it?

[obsidian patio]

PSN accounts are linked only to the first account you use it for

you can't link it to another SE account

you'd need a new PSN account

[cosmic pilot]

I see

[outer mural]

yes

[cosmic pilot]

Gonna use free login campaign then

[dull valley]

is the doman reconstruction a personal project or a server project?

[faint flare]

Personal

[dull valley]

sweet

was sad that I missed the ishgard one

[dense sandal]

So is my SE account locked to the steam PC version forever if that is where I used it first?

[faint flare]

Yes

On the Pc side

You can still use Mac and Ps4

[heady pelican]

cheers

[faint flare]

Just not not steam PC codes

[dense sandal]

Thanks!

[heady pelican]

And they don't do PC <-> Steam transfers even if you buy both and beg their customer service?

[faint flare]

Nope

Blame steam

[heady pelican]

oof

[silver minnow]

steam is its own DRM/platform

buy on steam you're stuck on steam,
buy from SE stuck with SE unless you buy new copies

[heady pelican]

Steam purchase should have just been a key to the PC version, how did they fuck it up

[faint flare]

It.is a key

[silver minnow]

it's intentional.. lol

[faint flare]

You get a code

It just links your Steam account

To your se

Permanently

[heady pelican]

It's a key to the Steam version then not the PC version

[faint flare]

It fills the Pc License slot

On mogstation

[heady pelican]

oh

[frank frigate]

do you think theyll level up automatically trust allies to 80 in endwalkerr ?

[heady pelican]

Can anyone who owns the complete edition and not the complete collector's edition help me?
If you could visit this link and tell me the price it would be great https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/top?request=ffxivshopoptceupgrade

[sick briar]

idk, im new, so rather not spoil than spoil :3

[cloud lake]

Might be a liitle bit of a long shot here. I want to try to play ffxiv with a mouse and keyboard but I don't really know where to start. I'm so used to using a controller but I want to actually try to use mouse and keyboard but it always seems impossible. I know how to type somewhat quick but when it comes to using wasd to move or using mouse to look around its a bit hard. So my question is how do you guys do it? does it just come easy with you? do you have a certain setting on to make it easier?

[sick briar]

I use a Razer Naga, played mmos since 2013, keyboard keybinds were always hard for me, so i have instead used Razer Naga side panel + wasd + mouse

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Yolaine in the 'Artifact Gear Exchange' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

[cloud lake]

I

[obsidian patio]

you'll need to unlock clan centurio hunts if you haven't already, which involve unlocking ARR hunts which require 2nd lieutenant in your grand company

[cloud lake]

ve never heard of razor naga but i'll look it up

[warm tinsel]

is anyone on cactuar available to help with an achievement fate chain?

[heady pelican]

As with trying to use any radically different input method it takes time to get used to it.
A lot of people have been using WASD movement and mouse camera control since they were kids. It can be challenging coming from never having used a keyboard from gaming.

For me I have this problem with using an Arcade Stick.
Many people spent their youths in real arcades so have familiarity but I just bought a stick and I am horrible at it.

Only way to get used to it is to practice your way through the noobiness. It may take weeks or months but you'll get there

[sick briar]

*Razer Naga, Razor is another thing entirely xD

Razer is a brand

[warm tinsel]

trying to get the dataq is cheap achievement from the 13 fate chain in azim steppe, currently on 8 of 13 but this is where the fates cant be soloed

[cloud lake]

@sick briar oh I feel dumb lol

[warm basalt]

where do you get poetics lv70 set?

[heady pelican]

Although I have to say finding someone not comfortable with WASD is quite the rarity. Most people in the PC gaming space just hate on controllers instead

[obsidian patio]

Rhalgr's reach north of the aetheryte or right by the kugane aetheryte

need to complete stormblood leveling story first

[warm basalt]

ohh okay

thanks

[cloud lake]

@heady pelicanIts all I use is controller but I feel like if I can master mouse and keyboard I might be better at ffxiv maybe better reaction times ect

[faint flare]

Nah, you won't if you're not comfortable

[obsidian patio]

only thing that controller really sucks at is precise targeting in a group of moving enemies

which basically only exist in frontline PVP, which is 24v24v24

[faint flare]

And typing ofc

[cloud lake]

I

[obsidian patio]

that's solved with a USB keyboard

[faint flare]

Yeaah

[obsidian patio]

can get cheap ones for like $30 and can last a year or more

[cloud lake]

I'm used to typing and stuff just not with everything else

[sick briar]

imo, razer naga is best of both worlds, buttons close to each other like controller, but on a mouse

[crimson crystal]

Free trial users can't accept refer a friend code, correct?

[obsidian patio]

correct

[cloud lake]

I'll look that up

[obsidian patio]

you need to register the game first and use the code before you start paying for subscription

[silver minnow]

can't redeem a referral if there's no product to link to

[amber hornet]

where?

[cosmic pilot]

PSN and on SE store afaik

[crimson crystal]

Great, thanks!

[old pivot]

HOW TO JOIN RAIDS?

need be level 50 for raid join?

[outer mural]

yes

[faint flare]

That's when they start

There's raids at each level cap

50, 60 etc

[old pivot]

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

So I remember hearing that once you get to Ishgard, there is an easier way to level up crafters. Anyone know anything about this?

[sick briar]

used it since 2013, i literally cant play without

[outer mural]

there's coils, which is at 50, but generally not recommended since it's pretty hard
there's crystal tower which is 24-man raids
at 60 there's alexander and void ark

etc etc

[cosmic pilot]

https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/games/franchises/final-fantasy-xiv-online

[faint flare]

Ishgard restoration, unlocked after 3.3 story

[old pivot]

wow

[faint flare]

So not immediately

[leaden ginkgo]

Can i level up crafters from lvl 1 there? How does it work exactly? I mean, how is it "easier" 🤔

[faint flare]

Lv20

And 10 for gathering

It's braindead

[desert kraken]

wonder if anyone has any ideas, I have re subscribed to FFXIV about and hour ago, on my account page it says I have an active sub etc yet when I try to log in via the client it tells me that my sub has expired

[faint flare]

Cause you only make a small range of items

[old pivot]

I see this picture how to activate something if it above hotool skill

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah alrighty, so gotta level them up a bit before that then. Thanks!

[silver minnow]

did you make sure you're logging into the correct service account? im assuming you're on pc/mogstation

[cosmic pilot]

Maybe try restarting the cient?

[obsidian patio]

read the 2nd paragraph and my message below it

[old pivot]

mean how to activate this skill

[faint flare]

Be in combat

[desert kraken]

yep only have the one account

[desert kraken]

countless times

[old pivot]

when it above

[faint flare]

Wait it's botd

Have you done your job quests

For it

[honest anvil]

are learn rates for BLU primal spells the same in all versions of that fight?

[faint flare]

Yes

[faint flare]

You won't be able to use your 50+ job skills until you hit heavensward story to do your new job quests

Not that you would be able to use it anyway in dungeons due to sync

[old pivot]

oo ok I see picture in #beginner-lounge

[warm bobcat]

Hey, I'm thinking of buying the game, should I get the Complete Edition, or the Shadow Bringer one?

[old pivot]

o

what different

for COmplete and Shadow

[faint flare]

Complete gives yoy everything you need

[warm bobcat]

I don't know , that's why I'm asking here lol

[wooden orbit]

when it says “new characters cannot be made on this word” does that mean the world is full

[obsidian patio]

shadowbringers doesn't include the base game

[cosmic pilot]

Complete. Shadowbringers is an expansion

[void vigil]

I saw someone saying Shadowbringers was on sale earlier today but Im on steam rn and its not on sale?

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers you need Starter edition ontop

[warm bobcat]

Also is this game still subscription base?

[faint flare]

!faq buy

[silver minnow]

complete will give u all previous expansions and the base game.

[faint flare]

Yes

[zinc orbit]

How to buy the game

Click here for NA

Click here for EU

Click here for JP

Image by /u/Alimantado

[solar valve]

yes its sub based,

[silver minnow]

its on sale on SE

[warm bobcat]

By yes, you mean I can't play as long as I subscribe for a couple of months? then when my sub ends I'll be locked out of my game?

[cosmic pilot]

Then idk. Sorry

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm bobcat]

Ohhhh

okay

[wooden orbit]

when it says “new characters cannot be made on this word” does that mean the world is full

[old pivot]

o

[faint flare]

Once you buy, gotta pay the money man

[faint flare]

It means too many people online

!faq serverlock

[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.

[wooden orbit]

smh

[silver minnow]

just wait til the population goes down then you'll be able to create

[cosmic pilot]

It’s on sale on PSN and SE store. Not sure about Steam

[old pivot]

!faq joinfriend

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named joinfriend exists, Kupo!

[meager summit]

Should I change my race from Hylander to Midlander or are there reasons not to

[wooden orbit]

so should i just spam confirm until it lets me?

[old pivot]

it possible joinfriend for game?

[faint flare]

To what

[cosmic pilot]

It’s mainly cosmetic tho

[old pivot]

if want to join friend and fight with him

[faint flare]

You can

[silver minnow]

all cosmetic

[faint flare]

You can party them

[old pivot]

o

[faint flare]

If you or they own the gamd to Invite you

Trial people can't invite others

[old pivot]

[leaden ginkgo]

Do we know what’s going to happen with the ishgard restoration system when Endwalker releases? Will the firmament still be there?

[faint flare]

Yes

It's permanent content

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok ty!

[old pivot]

!faq rarity

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named rarity exists, Kupo!

[exotic flume]

Anyone knows why when i try to deliver items and have the item on the upmost left corner, the game tries to get it from other slot?

And when i put it on the slot it tried to pick it up before, it tries to pic it up from the upmost left corner?

[obsidian patio]

can't say i ever noticed it, but you can click on the requested item window and it should grab it from there

might be a right-click

[old pivot]

when fighting boss it have chance it drop rare+ item or it 100% chance for rare item

[obsidian patio]

kinda but not really

[somber aspen]

hi guys

can i ask something aboutSE store purchase please

[obsidian patio]

mostly for endgame bosses in high-end content

[fringe lotus]

Can you access retainers while they are on a venture?

[somber aspen]

this is what is in my mogstation

[obsidian patio]

yes

[somber aspen]

which SE store should i buy from?

[cosmic pilot]

NA

[faint flare]

NA

You're The Americans

[old pivot]

o it have chance it drop relic? or if boss known it can drop relic it will drop 100% chance for it?

[errant swan]

Anyone got any macros for changing graphics on the fly? Last time I used the preset menu, it nuked my HUD layout.

[obsidian patio]

their rare items are mainly just a crafting material to make items themed to the boss

[faint flare]

Or mounts

For extremes

[exotic flume]

Rightclick has always been a good friend, but i would really love to just spam my "confirm key" on those leves.

[obsidian patio]

like a housing furniture, chocobo barding, and later on crafted weapons with a glow

[faint flare]

Gear drops are guaranteed drops

[old pivot]

wow

[faint flare]

From raids

[old pivot]

o

[faint flare]

Just who it's for will vary

At least until Shadowbringers raids

Where it's basically all gear coffers

Which gives you gear for the job you open it on

[somber aspen]

thanks!!

thanks both

[old pivot]

for what rairty it be it chance for what rarirt drop you get? or it already known what rarirty going be drop for you

[faint flare]

Rarity means nothing

[old pivot]

o

[faint flare]

Those gear colours mean nothing

[old pivot]

o

[faint flare]

If anything it just tells you where it's from

[solar valve]

someone please tell me ninja at 60 with poetic gear gets faster trash mob kill speed than godamn 10-14 seconds

[faint flare]

Purples are relic weapons, Blue is Tome and raid gear, Green is Crafted and Dungeon drops...whites are crafted and Vendor gear

Gear strength is determined by the gears item level

Higher item level = better gear

[near path]

Should I worry about the Make it Rain at all if I'm still going through MSQ?

[little swift]

If you're interested in getting the ffxv car

[exotic flume]

Better innate, but some materia-less items end up worse, but
it's only going to matter at high levels.

[little swift]

You might want to do some fashion report in the event duration

@near path

[old pivot]

what innate mean

[near path]

I don't know what that is. I've only been to the Gold saucer once

[regal shuttle]

Does the Gold Sausage give exp too, or is is just tokens and prizes?

[void vigil]

Would you guys recommend playing on SE account or a Steam account? (NA)

[exotic flume]

Unmodified

[faint flare]

That's only for crafted

Combat gear higher ilvl is always going to be better

Except in very very extreme cases

[old pivot]

can boss drop multiple better gear or it only 1 gear

[faint flare]

non steam gets more sales, due to being to take advantage of trusted third party sellers

[faint flare]

Raid bosses usually drop a few pieces

[little swift]

Only if they tell you no one to see it with commands

[faint flare]

It depends

On the fight

[exotic flume]

It's not as boss based as it is dungeon based, and dungeons get multiple chests.

[old pivot]

o

[exotic flume]

Befoe and after bosses.

[old pivot]

there rarirty system in chest?

[faint flare]

Again

Rarity doesn't exist

[old pivot]

o

[faint flare]

Only "rare" stuff are things with low drop rates

Like mounts in extreme trials

[old pivot]

o

[faint flare]

Again, gear is a guaranteed drop

From bosses

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, this ain't WoW where you do Mythics for a week then get depressed that you wasted hours and effort cause you got nothing of value.

[faint flare]

It will just vary for what job it's meant for

[exotic flume]

Well we could say rarity exists but it's not determined by anything visible in game, and rare items are not more powerful.

[faint flare]

There's no rng in gearing up...outside of it not dropping gear for your job

But that's solved by raids dropping coffers in shadowbringers

Just win the loot roll

[boreal storm]

You do get a freebie for your current job whenever you beat a leveling dungeon though

[pure lion]

hi quick question if i buy the endwalker can i transfer the earring to my 2nd character?

[faint flare]

It goes to ALL characters

Past, present and future

[pure lion]

ah ok thxx

[cosmic pilot]

X-Man?

Roulettes are done? Hmm..

[vestal needle]

when using movement base skill, does your hitbox move as if its a dash or is it a blink?

[somber aspen]

hi

[vestal needle]

Doma castle or HoH

[somber aspen]

why is it stuck here?

[random girder]

yep just highest lvl dungeon

[robust crow]

how exactly does the double light bonus window work on anima relics

[faint flare]

Changes every 2 hours

On even hours I believe

2 instances are picked for it

Iirc

[robust crow]

that's what everyone thinks but

i'm farming light right now and it was stalwart for 1 clear at the :39 minute

and then it was hardened at :40

[faint flare]

I think it has a small chance to get double normally maybe

I never paid attention during light farm

Too much brain off

[void vigil]

If I open a new Service Account on my mog station account and then activate the FFXIV complete edition there that I bought through SE, can I then log in to the SE version even tho it has the same email as my steam version?

[manic tide]

whats the deal with me doing lvl 31 MSQ but im level 44 and i havent done any side quests, is this normal?

[robust crow]

yes

MSQ gives you way more than enough exp

pick up a 2nd or 3rd class

[faint flare]

It does catch up however

Msq jumps from 46 to 49

[solemn gust]

im lvl 50 and doing lvl 30 MSQ stuff dude

[faint flare]

It also depends how many roulettes and dungeons you do extra

[unkempt hull]

how do I do the idle pose where I put my sword behind me as SAM?

[faint flare]

Be a male

And /cpose

Female cpose puts it infront

[frozen wind]

So ive just started race chocobing

what should i do to feed my chocobo or waht stats should i focus on feeding/trainign it first?

[unkempt hull]

oh lame

I thought female could do it too

[faint flare]

Sadly

[tacit tiger]

Hey so im currently living in japan but dont know any Japanese at all, havent made an account yet but i heard that there are issues involving that

something with square enix and the location or something

[prime stump]

what DLC comes with buying the standard edition on steam?

[robust crow]

wish females could get the male DRG cpose too

but nope

[tropic flame]

and the DRK one 😔

[shell gust]

can someone here tell where i can put the codes down for a steam ffxiv endwalker purchase?

[faint flare]

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[faint flare]

Enter preorder code

You can't enter the endwalker code itself

Cause you technically shouldnt have it cause it doesn't exist yet

[shell gust]

i got 4 codes when i purchased ffxiv complete edition plus endwalker dlc

[frozen wind]

still waiting for answers for chocobo racing

[errant swan]

BTW, I'm not sure if this is spoilery, but I'll phrase it as best as I can (may even be wrong in my assumptions since I'm a newbie). Does any of the Dragoon Job Questline change due to events in the Main Quest Line?

[robust crow]

being a dragoon changes some dialogue in HW

[frozen wind]

I think what they're trying to say is

does us doing anything in the main story influence what happens in their job quest

[faint flare]

It adds 1 or 2 additional lines

As a "Oh hey youre also a dragoon"

[frozen wind]

Since|| (Its canon now that the dragons are in the right, he wants to know if dragoons stop doing dragoon things) ||

[errant swan]

Oh that's not so bad @faint flare .Thanks to you as well @robust crow

[tacit tiger]

So can anyone help me with making an account? Keep getting an error code when I try and enter the email verification code, I'm assuming I have to use a VPN?

[frozen wind]

You changed your pfp nooo I missed goofy bahamut 😢 @faint flare

[obsidian patio]

Don’t bother feeding until the higher pedigrees, IMO

If you feel like you need it only do the gil feeds

[frozen wind]

Try registering it on phone @tacit tiger

[errant swan]

@frozen wind No it was more I suspect ||someone is going to die, and they're probably a mentor for Dragoons, right?||

[twilit arch]

no

[faint flare]

Derpamut will return someday

[frozen wind]

I couldnt get it to work on pc but it worked on phone

[twilit arch]

thats not going to have an effect on your job quests

[errant swan]

Cool, KK. @twilit arch

[faint flare]

Any job references are always small

[frozen wind]

But yes what they said

If you're a specific job in a situation you'll get a little easter egg interaction

[faint flare]

The biggest one is Scholar getting one dialogue choice during eden

[frozen wind]

like if someon eis healing someone, you help out

[faint flare]

And that's a tiny joke thing

[frozen wind]

if you're ahealer job

[leaden ginkgo]

steam afaik

[faint flare]

It says above the sub time

On mogstation

Account type: Standard

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah Steam

[faint flare]

Or standard (steam)

Are you opening via steam?

Cause you HAVE to open via steam

If you're a steam account

Otherwise you get that message

[leaden ginkgo]

its not even installed through steam tho

[faint flare]

Well install it then

[manic swallow]

Location of the place that gives tutorials/armor for healer dps tank etc?

[faint flare]

Cause you HAVE to launch via steam

[leaden ginkgo]

well the custom launcher works lol

how do I dye clothes?

Unlock dye in Vesper bey then Right click > dye

[ripe sentinel]

thanks

[austere vale]

When an item/armor is bound to you does that mean you can no longer sell it on the market?

[faint flare]

Yes

[frozen wind]

Yes

[faint flare]

Can't be undone

[leaden ginkgo]

Right I logged in, just had to be done through the custom launcher not the main squaresoft launcher

[frozen wind]

think of it like as in soulbound from WoW

[austere vale]

Hmm ok. How do you prevent armor from being bound to you so you can resell later on?

[faint flare]

Don't use it

Or glamour it

[frozen wind]

Just dont equip it

[faint flare]

Using it for anything binds it to you

[frozen wind]

you'll get a warning called "doing X action will bind this item to you, procede?"

if you get that then dont do what you plan to do

[leaden ginkgo]

hey guys. Im a bit confused. The next msq has a few requirements. The first one (bowl of embers) is supposed to trigger in the waking sands, but i can't find the quest there. Am i missing something?

[leaden ginkgo]

For the Bozja relic step where you have to get 30 materials from each zone from FATEs/skirmishes, are they guaranteed drops assuming you do enough in each FATE/skirmish?

[void vigil]

OK so I forgot my bday i used for my account and now I am locked out of it until i can remember what i used....

[eternal lance]

Once I complete the free trial do I still need to purchase arr and hw or can I just purchase the next expansion

[void vigil]

Who can i reach out to?

[leaden ginkgo]

Purchase "The Complete Edition"

[faint flare]

The 3 colours? Guaranteed from heavensward fates...not guaranteed from Skirmishes. If solo do fates, if you have group cluster farm in bojza as Mobs can drop them as well

[leaden ginkgo]

It'll give you every expansion + base game (except Endwalker, which you'll have to pre-order on its own)

[eternal lance]

Ok ty

[leaden ginkgo]

What would you recommend as the fastest way to get them?

These

[faint flare]

Oh those bits

I just did them in Zadnor

And double dipped farming mettle

For honors

[deft siren]

hello guys any general tips for new player tank lvl30

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, thats what I'm doing rn, I'm just wondering if they are guaranteed or not

[swift owl]

Hi guys. Is POTD more efficient than Command Missions for levels 15/20 to 60 level grind?

[faint flare]

They are guaranteed yes

Provided you get gold

[leaden ginkgo]

Sweet

[faint flare]

CEs drop 2 of their thing

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah I expected that much at least v:

Same with the critical engagement ones?

[void vigil]

How do i contact FFXIV support? I cant get into my account

[faint flare]

I personally cluster farmed near Skirmish spawns
To help spawn CEs

Yes, Ces are guaranteed to give you 2 of their item

So 30 skirmishes, 15 CEs

[cosmic pilot]

What’s the shortcut to clear all hotbars?

[void vigil]

OMFG i cant even contact support without knowing my DOB!?!

Idk which DOB i used fuck

[manic flare]

what do the orange arrows mean?

[void vigil]

I already activated the complete edition

[faint flare]

They're debuffed

In some way

[manic flare]

I should esuna them?

[faint flare]

No

24mans rarely have esuna able stuff

[cunning loom]

debuffs also include weakness from just being revived

i'd leave other alliance debuffs for their healers to manage

[faint flare]

Or the debuff in puppet second boss

That means you can only attack the right boss

[errant swan]

Do you guys have a guide/kupobot link for Chocobo racing (i.e. what's the best way to train/raise/etc)

[atomic light]

Hey, I'm gonna assume the answer to this is probably a no - but I'm on the cheaper subscription tier (1 character per world). I have a character on all 3 data centers. I was considering a character transfer from one data center to another. If I were to pick two worlds that both have a character, it wouldn't just..swap em would it? It'd probably ask me to delete em right?

[tidal yarrow]

hello, haukke manor (hard) last boss

keeps wiping us after she summons an add

what should we do?

[faint flare]

Kill the add

If she immediately eats it then you're DPSing the boss too hard to push the phase

[jovial quarry]

You have to damage the boss slowly and wait for each add to spawn in.

[faint flare]

Her blood rain does damage based in the hp of the add she eats

[tidal yarrow]

we killed the add instantly (Adamantin) and we wiped

[faint flare]

She force eats it when her hp gets tooow

[jovial quarry]

It’s too easy to push the boss past hard HP thresholds that forced her to eat the adds. Each add she eats makes her harder to kill.

[faint flare]

#memes-and-shitposting

[jade quartz]

Please keep discussion here to actual game questions

[fading helm]

does the gunbreaker have a tank stance? i cant seem to find it

[worn gazelle]

why is my duty roulette level 16 when im level 45

[faint flare]

Royal guard

[jade quartz]

Because that’s the minimum level to enter leveling roulette

[faint flare]

That'd the minimum level

[jade quartz]

The rewards are scaled to your level.

[fading helm]

o ok ty

[sly thistle]

i just did the MSQ duty roulette and it gave me about half an xp bar. Can i do it again or will i not get the bonus xp rewards?

[faint flare]

No

[jade quartz]

Only once a day.

[faint flare]

Roulettes are daily

[sly thistle]

damn ok ty

[void vigil]

Hi where can I find someone to help me figure out how to reset the DOB on my account?

[worn gazelle]

how come i only get like 6000 xp

[faint flare]

Cause you already did it once today

Doing it multiple times offers no Bonuses

[worn gazelle]

so i cant level thru dungeons then

[jade quartz]

Roulette rewards are once daily

Yes you can

[faint flare]

You que dungeons directly

[worn gazelle]

oh

[faint flare]

Not via roulettes

[jade quartz]

After doing your roulette you spam your highest dungeon

[atomic light]

Oh, and as a add on q: if I were to upgrade my sub to the tier that lets you have more than one character per world - what happens if you try to go back to the cheaper one while 2 characters are on one world?

[jovial quarry]

For entry subscriptions, I believe it would ask you to delete the existing character before you can transfer another one to the server you want if the destination is the same. Like if you’re on Hyperion and you want an alt on Hyperion, you would have to delete the existing one first, I think. I’m not 100% on that to be honest however.

[faint flare]

I think it just doesn't allow the transfer

As in, wont give you the option

To select that world

[jade quartz]

I believe the character that was created earlier would be the only one you could log into.

[twilit arch]

The topmost character is the only one you're allowed to log in

[jade quartz]

I’m not 100% on that

[twilit arch]

if you go from standard down to entry

[fading helm]

i dont even know why im in standard sub, they dont sell game time cards that are entry?

i guess it just automatically made me standard

[twilit arch]

they do not

time cards are standard sub

[fading helm]

so its cheaper if i just sub then for entry monthly?

[radiant canyon]

if i get a mount from a trial, can i trade it to someone that was also there?

[atomic light]

Hmm, I see. Thanks everyone. Suppose I'll catch a deal on standard sub if they show up.

[twilit arch]

no

[radiant canyon]

unlucky ok ty

[queen flicker]

Okay so I’ve looked at all the classes that do DPS. I know there doesn’t SEEM to be one. Is there a DPS class where I can just have a sword and fight lmao

Dragoon seemed cool and then I watched footage and it’s just JUMPIN DRAGONS

so then Pugilist bc brawlers are cool but all those stances seem… difficult.

[faint flare]

Samurai

Had a sword

[jovial quarry]

Samurai is the closest to that. It is, however, a Stormblood job and requires owning the complete edition

[faint flare]

Katana technically

[queen flicker]

Gotcha.

Damn

[sly thistle]

is there a way to buy some quick gear to get ilvl 110+? im currently level 53

[queen flicker]

So I can’t test the class without buying but idk if I wanna buy bc idk if I like any class

Oop

[faint flare]

Ironworks with poetics

I130

[sour tide]

been crashing as soon as i logged in

[sly thistle]

doesnt that cost a lot of poetics

is there a cheaper alternative?

[faint flare]

They grow on trees

[sour tide]

idk whats happening i hopped on a rock and ever since im crashing

[faint flare]

Poetics are piss Easy to get

[sly thistle]

whats the fastest way to farm them then?

[faint flare]

The very least grab the weapon, chest and legd

Go unlock and do all the side lv50 dungeons

You get bonus poetics for your first clear

[sly thistle]

ok ty

[faint flare]

And unlock additional roulette for it

[manic tide]

so are character name changes free?

[desert quarry]

hi! i'm buying the game from the trial. I have a recruitment code. Am I suppose to apply the code before using my game key or do it after?

[faint flare]

$10

[faint flare]

After

After registerin the game and before buying your first month sub

Is when you can use referral codes

[silver willow]

Hey ya'll, i'm wondering what I should spend my augmented things in if i wanted to make gil?

[desert quarry]

got it thank you!!!

[fading helm]

i dont get it guys how do i get the gold saucer emote

like i did the quest

but i dont have it

[faint flare]

There's a second quest

Near the repeatable

[worn plover]

What does it mean when the game says "You sense the presence of a powerful mark." ?

[faint flare]

A S rank hunt is in the zone

It gives alot of hunt currency

It's best to tell people it's around

So people can party up and get rewards as well

[jovial quarry]

S rank hunts are basically world bosses, to explain.

Definitely worth your time if you’re in the area

[humble mason]

Around how many hours will it take to get through stormblood and shadowbringers?

[cosmic juniper]

How’s the endgame in this game? After I finish the MSQ does it have a lot of replayability value?

[ripe hound]

There is sale now right?

On SE store

[jovial quarry]

Current cash shop sale is on previous Make it Rain rewards, level boosts, and story skips.

[errant swan]

@ripe hound Seems so, and PLayStation Store. Announced for Japan, but Shadow Bringers and Complete editon are 60% off

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I have like a Total Play Time of 94 days, 19 hours, 8 minutes,
This is as someone who usually don't play the same game for that long

[ripe hound]

Nice, time to tell new players to go buy stuff

[cosmic juniper]

Ah cool. Does endgame consist of like raiding and stuff?

[ripe hound]

Also 94 days means 94 times 24 hours online lol

Yeah

[meager summit]

How do I change my class?

[ripe hound]

Usually raiding and

[faint flare]

Unlock the class then equip the weapon

Done

[cosmic juniper]

Thanks

[meager summit]

how do I unlock the class?

[faint flare]

Do the unlock quest for it

Base classes are "so you wanna be a.."

[humble mason]

Do the expansions all tell an overarching story or saga, or they more seperate stories?

[meager summit]

But some of them are locked

do I need to do my current class first?

[faint flare]

It's all 1 story

[mystic merlin]

any WHM players around?

[faint flare]

Yes you need to.do your lv10 class quest first

[humble mason]

Is the current story supposed to eventually come to an end for a new story to begin?

[faint flare]

Yes

In endwalker

[meager summit]

so if im a marauder its "so you wanna be a marauder"?

[ripe hound]

But yeah, in general, FFxiv is like, you play a story focused JRPG until you finish the MSQ, then it opens up into a traditional MMORPG.
Where you do all kinds of stuff. There are always something new in FFxiv you can burn your time on

[faint flare]

The finale of the Hyadlen/zodiark ark is ending next expansion

[humble mason]

Oh so endwalker is the finale of everything since realm reborn?

Gotcha

[faint flare]

Your job quests are under the main scenario tracker top left

[cosmic juniper]

Ah ok that’s good. I was afraid the game was mostly MSQ and then after that there’s really nothing left

[ripe hound]

The important characters on your side probably won't all disappear tho

[faint flare]

It's the finale of everything from 1.0, but yes

[cosmic juniper]

I really like an MMO aspect

[ripe hound]

Yeah, end game is fun, just more like your traditional MMO tho

[humble mason]

Do we have any idea of what to expect after endwalker?

[cosmic juniper]

I’m looking for something to invest a lot of time into. I’m a grinder at heart

[ripe hound]

Yeah, also kinda finish this whole story that goes form 1.0 to ARR to Shadowbringers

[faint flare]

Nope

We dont

[cosmic juniper]

Ok thanks for the info. I’m on the free trial right now so I’m gonna see how it goes

[ripe hound]

Well for one I don't think the patch structure will change that much

[faint flare]

We just know it will be a new story

[ripe hound]

It will still be like, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5

But this time, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 story might not be rounding up 6.0 story

They might still need it to prepare for the beginning of the new story tho

[humble mason]

With patches, would, let’s say 5.0 be the start of the expansion, which is added upon through 5.1, 5.2 etc?

[faint flare]

6.0 will end the current story

6.1 onwards is a new story

[ripe hound]

Kind of like, 5.0 begins the story and hits the big climax
Then 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 continues the story and hits a bigger climax

[faint flare]

Instead of the usual "story arc ends in X.3"

[mystic merlin]

could anyone spare some advice for someone starting out as a whm for dungeon grinding?

[ripe hound]

Yeah, tbh I don't quite remember how 2.x worked

[alpine hound]

will there be a sale on the Endwalker expansion alone? im so itchy to buy the complete edition now

[ripe hound]

I felt like 2.x didn't really follow the "story arc ends in X.3" that much...

[ripe hound]

Probably you need to wait until 2022 Janurary

[faint flare]

Green Man gaming had one but that's ended by this point probably

[ripe hound]

No reason to sale now when everybody is buying it

Oh yeah

[faint flare]

Don't really get your hopes up

[ripe hound]

Green man had one

[karmic lagoon]

Do players have to be online in order to add them as friends?

[faint flare]

Yes

[ripe hound]

Yeah, old game old engine

[obsidian patio]

Keep a mental note of how much your heals do. That lets you know when to use them without waste

[ripe hound]

Also don't use Cure 1 if you can use Cure 2

[alpine hound]

yes i dont mind waiting for the Endwalker sale, cause im still a sproud and would take a long time to reach that point. I just want to know if there will be a sale for that, thanks guys

[karmic lagoon]

So do you just follow them via Lodestone until they come online?

[heady pelican]

How long can a game code bought on the square enix store be kept for (i.e. not activating it immediately) ?

[ripe hound]

I see, tbh January might be an early call
I'm not actually sure when do they usually start sale on the new expansion

[upper flame]

hello qwq/

does this affect Fishing EXP?

[obsidian patio]

Basically forever, I’ve never heard of game codes expiring

[mystic merlin]

And you learn this through dungeon running or practicing on yourself?

[obsidian patio]

Through the dungeon

The first pull is a good gauge

[alpine hound]

i read on reddit someone keep their code for 2 years

[mystic merlin]

at what point in mana usage would I switch between the two?

[ripe hound]

I would personally recommending buying complete if you are free trail

[obsidian patio]

Past level 50

[humble mason]

Does the price of the complete edition go up by much each expansion?

[obsidian patio]

You start to get a ton of MP tools from 50-60 that invalidate Cure 1 entirely

[fading helm]

can you only sell on your homeworld market board?

or can u do it in other ones as well

[mystic merlin]

Gotcha

[heady pelican]

Is the complete edition even going to be updated to contain Endwalker soon after it comes out?

[fading helm]

no thats a seperate purchase

[ripe hound]

Usually when you have less than 12% mana... so like less than 1200 mana left, you can consider using Cure 1
Other wise just use Cure 2

[humble mason]

Oh, my apologies then

[mystic merlin]

Any advice for healing in beginner dungeons?

[obsidian patio]

Any complete editions bought now won’t ever have endwalker

[naive ridge]

yes cure1 is only when you are low on MP at lower levels

[obsidian patio]

You’ll have to wait for official launch for a new version of the complete edition

[humble mason]

Got it

[silver minnow]

but that new complete edition won't go on sale for a while im guessing

[ripe hound]

jokes on you while progging e12s our people died so much I had to Bene 1 the tank to keep going

[silver minnow]

24 + 40 down the road or wait out for the new complete for $60

essentially the same thing

[heady pelican]

Does this new version of the complete edition get introduced soon after expansion launch or like a year after

[fading helm]

after i thik

[obsidian patio]

Basically day 1-2 of new expansion

[ripe hound]

I think immediately after early access is done

[naive ridge]

i mean yeah? you'd use your bene before cure 1

[ripe hound]

Sorry I meant Benefic

[naive ridge]

also thats endgame

[ripe hound]

Yeah, true

[naive ridge]

WHMs can proc a free cure II

[ripe hound]

I think in usual dungeons, Bene1 / Cure1 isn't used that much even around lv 30 dungeons

Physick... well low level SCH is kinda a special type of pain

[naive ridge]

a regen is genreally enough

top up with Cure II

[mystic merlin]

what about beginner dungeons?

[naive ridge]

and dps for the rest

[heady pelican]

Right now the PC complete edition is 35 pounds without a discount. Is that the normal price of a complete edition in general or is the not-discount price now (35 pounds) lower than the complete edition will be priced at right after it includes Endwalker ? The conversion comes out to approximately 50 USD

[naive ridge]

if cure 1 is your only cure then use that, otherwise you can regen generally and use cure II to heal
