questions-and-help

[simple zephyr]

Is anyone here an aether

[ripe hound]

But yeah, when leveling SCH, I was like, "HOLY MOGGLES AN AETHERFLOW ONLY GIVES ENOUGH MANA FOR A SINGLE ADLO?"

[mystic merlin]

Ok

[ripe hound]

Yeah, we green people are from Aether

[ripe hound]

Also if you have nothing else to do, just DPS more

[simple zephyr]

wth, i forgot to role select lol

[naive ridge]

The reasoning is that at that level mp isnt a huge issue especially if you are using your lucid correctly

better to throw one big heal and dps

[humble mason]

If you had a free trial, what would happen if you just bought the shadowbringers expansion instead of complete edition? Guessing it wouldn’t work?

[simple zephyr]

Can someone help get the full odin set? like in a party.

[naive ridge]

that throw 2 small heals and lose one gcd of dps

[high owl]

hey is it possible to apply two glamour sets to one piece of gear (so glamour for paladin and warrior applied to one armor set)

[obsidian patio]

Code won’t work

[ripe hound]

Say that to my Lv 30 SCH!

[mystic merlin]

I mean I'm literally starting scratch, so i only have cure and medica

Haven't made to lvl15 yet

[humble mason]

If it doesn’t work on pc, I’m guessing it wouldn’t work for me on PlayStation either

[ripe hound]

Yeah, no worry, just keep going

[minor ridge]

do different rarities of cards have different drop rates from challenges

[obsidian patio]

It won’t work period unless you buy the starter edition

[edgy warren]

does it end up being cheaper to just wait for that rather than buying complete edition now on sale + expansion when it hits?

[obsidian patio]

Also license codes are platform specific

[simple zephyr]

uh

[naive ridge]

you have a fairy though

[mystic merlin]

How big a game changer is Holy? I know there are memes about it.

[naive ridge]

massive

[humble mason]

So if I bought complete edition on ps5, I wouldn’t be able to play it on pc?

[ripe hound]

True

[edgy warren]

Yeah this makes me sadge, I could get the complete addition for $23 on squenix store but im a steam version

And who knows when the next sale will be

[obsidian patio]

You’d have to buy again on pc

[humble mason]

I thought the game was cross save

[naive ridge]

Holy is the best healer AOE

[obsidian patio]

It is

[edgy warren]

How often do steam sales happen?

[naive ridge]

with holy spam you dont even have to heal until the enemies get resistant to the stun

[edgy warren]

Im hoarding the preferred status on my steam account character so i dont really want to swap lmfao

[leaden ginkgo]

about every 6 months

[humble mason]

If it’s cross save, why would it make me buy it again?

[edgy warren]

so i need to wait until dec

great

[leaden ginkgo]

yup

[simple zephyr]

Can someone help me

[obsidian patio]

Because platforms want their cut of the sale

[mystic merlin]

so would I just spam it until the enemies get resistant?

[humble mason]

Shouldn’t my progression and everything just be linked to my square Enix account?

[ripe hound]

In all serious tho, I think SCH mostly struggle around lv 50 to 59/61

[ripe hound]

Mog Station account

[humble mason]

Just being able to play this game seems convoluted at times

[alpine hound]

may be Dota's TI there will be a sale?

[naive ridge]

I can get that, WHM is just so much braindead easier for general content

[humble mason]

Is mog station like the account manager for ffxiv or something?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[ripe hound]

Yeah, a bit.
Your save is linked to your account, but to play on different platforms you need different versions of the game brought

[naive ridge]

Yea and also the optional shop

[ripe hound]

As a lv 80 SCH I still have no idea how this job works lol

[naive ridge]

i should learn it too lol

[ripe hound]

Haha I'm a ranged! (Spam Ruin 2)

[leaden ginkgo]

on the bright side, it will include endwalker

[honest anvil]

are the sets in !faq blubis up to date?

[sick ledge]

Hello im new and once i complete a quest and select a new armor, i press "i" and cant find the armor i just got

[slate arrow]

change that to ruin 1 and congrats you got a 90% parse

(optimal SCH gameplay is literally trying to touch ruin 2 as little as possible and/or using energy drain when you have to use ruin 2 if there's nothing coming up afterwards)

[slate arrow]

open your Armory Chest

[sick ledge]

how do i do that

[slate arrow]

control i I think?

or shift

[ripe hound]

Life as a SCH is like, when you Whispering Dawn into Summon Seraph, into cry on the floor

[sick ledge]

i clicked every option here and i dont see the items

[vast ferry]

Is it just me or are certain races way more common in certain kingdoms

[west parrot]

Is it better to use my anemos weapon in anemos or my 510 synced down?

[twilit arch]

yes, certain races are more common in certain areas

[dusty jungle]

wow your racism is showing!

[ripe hound]

Yup, I definitely know that
Just my execution is: "I need to weave something" -> Ruin II -> "What did I need to weave again?"

[dusty jungle]

srsly though, places like limsa is mostly roes etc

[ripe hound]

You mean in lore? Yeah, defenitly

[slate arrow]

go to your menu bar > character (left icon w/ person) > armory chest

[mystic merlin]

Did anyone else get a message from a Kang?

[ripe hound]

What's that?

[alpine hound]

on character screen just click an armor piece and the armory chest will appear

[maiden copper]

do free trial members get the free login time for the login event thing?

[vast ferry]

Like a saw a ton of those orc looking dudes in limsa elf looking dudes were in gridania and while there weren’t a huge amount lalafell were way more common in ul’dah than the other two

[mystic merlin]

just got a weird message on here from someone named Kang telling me to wave at them...

[faint flare]

That's for people who used to sub and haven't subbed for over a month

[ripe hound]

I don't think you can? Free trail don't have login times at all?

[ripe hound]

If it looks like this it's probably just a new Discord thing

[hollow violet]

Can we ask about act/logs here or is there a better place?

[slate arrow]

the free login time only applies for full game accounts

[ripe hound]

You can, we talk about everything here

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you need to do FATEs to get into Zadnor critical engagements?

[viral torrent]

Can EU SE account buy the 60 days game time code for NA?

[naive ridge]

No

[alpine hound]

beware of scammer on discord, i had random bots adding me from time to time

[leaden ginkgo]

So I can basically afk & let others do the FATEs to spawn the critical engagements?

[hollow violet]

Probably a simple question - how do I actually get the logs from my act application (I can see it there and the breakdown) and get it onto FFlogs and xivanalysis

[faint flare]

Doing the skirmish that leads to a CE will give you priority

But you don't have to do it

[ripe hound]

For example, here, I didn't message you and you didn't message me, but if I open a PM to you, discord tells me "HAVE YOU TRIED WAVING BEFORE?"

[naive ridge]

yeah there are people that cluster farm instead of doing fates, they arent barred from any of the CEs

[mystic merlin]

That's just weird

[ripe hound]

ye

[humble mason]

Is the golden saucer available on free trial?

[ripe hound]

Yup

I think Make it rain is also avaliable

[humble mason]

What’s make it rain?

[alpine hound]

yes make it rain is also available

[rugged flicker]

How do I access pomanders while I'm in palace of the dead? Can't recall x.x

[ripe hound]

Current Event, you get like bonus gamble money and cheaper stuff

[jovial quarry]

Character window is replaced with your pomander inventory.

[alpine hound]

you get 50% more money earned in gold saucer

[simple zephyr]

can anyone help me obtain the odin set through aether?

[edgy warren]

Okay so stupid question for anyone more experienced than I am, my plan was to play the free trial, get all classes to the free trial cap, then wait for a steam sale (was figuring the game would be on sale in october for halloween) -- is that enough content for the next 2-3 months?

[dire prawn]

It's more than enough

[edgy warren]

Also, how important is the preferred server bonus? I have it on my account on steam, which is why i dont want to make a new squenix account to buy the game on sale

[kindred siren]

it would be but tbh if you did that you might not want to buy it

[edgy warren]

And like... ARR just feels like generic mmo questing, so im using the bonus to boost through it

[kindred siren]

i would just buy the $20 version with ARR + heavensward

[dire prawn]

no worlds are preferred right now so it doesn't matter

And it's not important at all

[edgy warren]

I made my character while it was preferred

So I still have the road to 70

[oblique yew]

how many raw emotions does dalriada give?

[edgy warren]

at least for another 2 months

[dire prawn]

My main started on an unpreferred world and I leveled two jobs just fine

[kindred siren]

then you can still get the expansion on sale

[edgy warren]

I'm not going to buy the $20 version if I can get it cheaper on sale later

[hollow violet]

Do I really have to install adobe air to view my fflogs or is this guide (2018) outdated? I really don't want their software

[edgy warren]

have other stuff i can play in the meanwhile

[kindred siren]

you can buy the $20 version then buy the rest on sale

[cosmic widget]

are there chat filter commands in game?

[edgy warren]

Or I could wait for the complete edition to be on sale on steam

[humble mason]

Free trial already gives ARR And HS doesn’t it?

[dusty jungle]

I mean there is currently a 60% sale

[edgy warren]

On squenix store, i have my current character (with preferred server bonus) on steam version

I'm trying to weight up

do i make a new squenix account

to buy it on sale there

or do I wait for a steam sale

so i keep the 70% exp bonus

[leaden ginkgo]

You can't use expansions from different platforms

[edgy warren]

Yeah

read what i said

I would make a NEW square enix account

[humble mason]

Why is ffxiv through square Enix preferred over ffxiv through steam?

[edgy warren]

and use that for ffxiv

my current account has nothing but my free trial of ffxiv w/ a level 20 pugilist + preferred server bonus

my question is basically

[faint flare]

More options for sales

[edgy warren]

is it worth remaking the account

[faint flare]

Since you can use trusted third party sellers

[edgy warren]

to grab the square enix sale

and lose the bonus exp

especially since im assuming the bonus from preferred server thing makes leveling secondary j obs much easier

[humble mason]

Is that because everything’s through codes or am I mistaken?

[faint flare]

Yes, regardless where you go you get a code

Steam users can only use steam codes

[humble mason]

I know that I don’t use a code when upgrading to complete edition through PlayStation, but can I use codes from other things on mogstsation to get them on ps?

[oblique yew]

how many raw emotions does dalriada give?

[fading helm]

am i trippin or did they add new animations to the senor sabotenders

[faint flare]

3

[faint flare]

Yes you can use item codes if they're gifted to you

[edgy warren]

Is there a way to tell when my character was created?

[humble mason]

Can’t buy items myself?

[faint flare]

You can

Via the optional store

Doesn't need to be done via the console

I do it off my phone

[humble mason]

Thanks for clearing that up, really helping me figure this game out

[patent kernel]

Are new skills given automatically when you level or do you need to go learn them somewhere?

[faint flare]

Most are yes

Rest are via your job quests

So do your job quests

Like immediately

[dull valley]

what mount is this?

[faint flare]

Demi omza

From Baldesion arsenal in eureka

56man raid

[fading helm]

is that in heavensward?

o

[edgy warren]

Does the game go on sale on steam during the big steam sales usually? Halloween, autumn sale, christmas, etc.?

Im ngl if I have to level from scratch without the road to 70 buff I probably just wont play the game, but being locked to a steam account sucks

[last sapphire]

the best mount

[last sapphire]

yes it does, though it won't soon

the last sale will be before endwalker releases

[edgy warren]

So late october?

[viral torrent]

Pls help

[last sapphire]

square enix shop has more frequent sales, but they also line up with steam sales too

yea

[twilit arch]

no

[last sapphire]

in fact the game is on sale now on square enix's shop

[twilit arch]

you need to buy appropriate region for time cards

[edgy warren]

How do the steam sales usually compare to the square enix sales? I'm basically using the road to 70 to get through the awful ARR stuff

So if i dont have to make a new account ill be happy

[last sapphire]

60% off the complete edition

[faint flare]

Much less frequent

[edgy warren]

I have other stuff i can play in the meanwhile

As long as it isnt like

[viral torrent]

I'm not using the code. Buying it as a gift

[edgy warren]

a year out or some nonsense

[meager summit]

I'm starting to really hate how my character looks, is level 22 too late to really restart?

[last sapphire]

nah endwalker is november

[naive bramble]

how does one get these Pre-order Bonus Registration Codes on steam? are they emailed to you? and is this for after EW has released?

[faint flare]

Right click game > steam keys

[alpine hound]

then just wait for steam sale, free trial is so much stuff to do

[last sapphire]

you can if you like, you get a fantasia at the end of the ARR story though

[edgy warren]

Is it? I have no idea how much there actually is on the free trial

[plain python]

outside of RDM, what classes are better at lv70 in Eureka?

[last sapphire]

so you can change your appearance then

[kindred siren]

can you give a link

where is that sale

[twilit arch]

then it doesn't matter because your mogstation account region is irrelevant for it. All you need to do it make sure you're buying for the appropriate region that you're gifting to @viral torrent

[meager summit]

yeah its just a while to get but if thats the best option well then I guess ill do that

[naive bramble]

ty i found it. it was CD keys

[alpine hound]

dont know about you but im stucked like glued at the Gold saucer

[edgy warren]

Like how many hours/months of content is in the free trial? I'll be playing poe this league so ill be busy for at least a month

[faint flare]

Alot

[edgy warren]

Does it usually go on sale on steam before expansions?

[faint flare]

It's until.the end of the first expansion

[kindred siren]

can you give a link to 60% off sale i cant find it

[faint flare]

It's half the game

[last sapphire]

I don't know, but the next steam sale will be October

[meager summit]

if I were to restart how long would it take to get back to where I am roughly?

[edgy warren]

Well thing is Ive got school and I'm also playing PoE and DBD, so i wont be glued to the game 24/7

How bad are the restrictions on the free trial, am i okay to play through with them?

[last sapphire]

https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/product/565209/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download

[faint flare]

People have spent hundreds to thousands of hours on trial

[alpine hound]

gathering, gold saucer, level all class to 60, side story, MSQ

[last sapphire]

they're basically non-existent

[faint flare]

The limitations are primarily social limts

[last sapphire]

barely

the biggest restriction is no market board

[faint flare]

Only major ones is no retainers (banks) and 300k gil cap

[last sapphire]

you can still do duty finder, still be invited to parties but not make them

[faint flare]

And market board for lazy people

[last sapphire]

ye

if you just wanna play the game free trial is the best way to play to 60, I made the mistake of activating my game immediately

[pulsar scroll]

Hey guys, I am having a small issue with Monk job quest.

[edgy warren]

so.... should be good playing on free trial until the next steam sale

cool

tyty

[autumn oasis]

Where can I find the chocobo challenge races?

[pulsar scroll]

I can't seem to access the quest ''Insulted intelligence'' I am level 40 and the NPC that is supposed to give me the quest isn't in the pugilist guilt.

[dusty jungle]

Theres a HUGE elevator in GC reception

[kindred siren]

@last sapphire Ah I see that is UK site, the game isnt on sale on the US site. Can i buy this version from UK site if i am in the USA?

[autumn oasis]

Is that for the regular chocobo races or the CHALLENGE races?

[faint flare]

Click the quest under the main scenario tracker, that tells you where it is

[dusty jungle]

aa woops my mistake

[last sapphire]

It's the same sale as the US

that's just the link that came up for me, swap to the NA store

[humble mason]

Where do I buy orange juice for the dye quest?

[pulsar scroll]

Oooh, thank you. I am super blind.

[faint flare]

The nearby merchant

At the stalls

[last sapphire]

bear in mind you can't use keys bought from the squenix store with steam

[humble mason]

Easy

https://ffxivstorehub.square-enix-games.com/en_US

[dull valley]

does the endwalker trailer have any shadowbringer spoilers?

[last sapphire]

probably

thus far all the trailers do iirc

[kindred siren]

i found it this site is fked lol

[wooden orbit]

can i unlock rouge on trial version?

[faint flare]

Yes

It's a Base class

[dull valley]

stormblood didnt have any HW spoilers as far as I could tell

[last sapphire]

HW spoils the end of ARR, ShB end of SB.

[faint flare]

Well without context I don't think you would notice them

[last sapphire]

I guess

[tall flower]

Is it possible to search my fishing log at all?

[last sapphire]

I watched the HW trailer before finishing 2.55 lol

by accident

[warm yacht]

what're the fastest raids to farm for each section of the 180 part relic grind?

[wooden orbit]

how do i get rogue tho like ik i gotta go to limsa but i picked pugilist n idk how to get there

[edgy warren]

Oh man im kinda worried im going to like... get a month or two out and realize Ive hit a content wall in the game and nothing will be on sale, but oh well i guess

[faint flare]

Do story

Story takes you there at lv15

[wooden orbit]

n eventually ill get to limsa?

ok

bet ty

main quest right

[faint flare]

Remember you attune to aetherytes

Yes

[wooden orbit]

ok

[last sapphire]

You can buy the game and not activate it

[edgy warren]

eh, will have spent $20 on nothing then if i never use it

[last sapphire]

I guess if you don't like the game

If you do then you can activate it when you finish HW

[edgy warren]

well again

issue is im on steam

not squenix

so i cant just buy a code and sit on it

[faint flare]

You can

Only console cant

[last sapphire]

Yep you can

[edgy warren]

? but the squenix codes dont work with steam, no?

[last sapphire]

You need to activate steam codes on Squenix account

no

they don't

[faint flare]

You get a steam code

[edgy warren]

what

im very confused

eli5 if you can

[last sapphire]

Does the store sell steam codes?

[faint flare]

You.get a steam code

[open ember]

If you buy it on steam you can only use it on steam

[edgy warren]

From the square enix store?

[faint flare]

Which gets listed under YOUR Steam keys

No

When you buy from steam

[edgy warren]

Ah

yeah ill just wait for a sale then

no point doing that now

[humble mason]

You use a steam code on square Enix, but can’t use a square enix code on steam?

[last sapphire]

Yes

[faint flare]

Square codes and steam codes can't mix

[last sapphire]

However trial accounts made without steam can use steam in future.

[upper wren]

squares half hearted steam integration is so funny

because so many people get baited to buy on steam

[edgy warren]

my trial account was made with steam i think

pretty sure

[upper wren]

if you downloaded through steam to play, it was

[edgy warren]

yeah

well

the square enix account already existed

i used it to play nosgoth way back

[upper wren]

yes, but you linked it to steam

[edgy warren]

i guess

i dont know

the whole steam integration shit

is so badly explained

[upper wren]

anyway, ffxiv was just on sale last month for steam

[last sapphire]

You been on mogstation?

[edgy warren]

I think so?

[last sapphire]

That experience is worse lol

[upper wren]

if they don't do another one soon then worst case u wait for endwalker to release, and buy that and save urself $$

[edgy warren]

Yeah I expect next sale for the game will be october during the steam halloween sale

usually all their mmos go on sale then

[edgy warren]

yeah japanese web development is stuck in the 90s

[humble mason]

They should really give the mogstation a facelift

[upper wren]

i'm not saying mogstation is b etter but locking it into steam ecosystem beacuse "muh separate launcher yuck" or whatever couldn't be me dog. not talking about people that just played first on steam, but steam champs who wouldn't have played it any other way lmao

[edgy warren]

im pretty sure every japanese website ive seen has looked like that

[edgy warren]

i mean i think it's the same launcher

like im almost 100% sure

[upper wren]

it is an embarrassing website for a global company like squeenix

[humble mason]

Sony manages to keep all their stuff nice looking

[edgy warren]

pretty sure there's 0 reason for the way they have steam vs windows set up

[near path]

Where do I control other player's effects appearance?

[upper wren]

its likely distribution contract related

steam takes 30% cut

[open ember]

I'm sorry to bother but is there still a question being answered or is this a discussion now

[upper wren]

on all sales

[edgy warren]

could be

[open ember]

Additional discussion goes to #beginner-lounge

[humble mason]

It’d be nice if going into the next big arc after endwalker they streamlined the whole mogstation website

[edgy warren]

you would think they would at least bother to explain somewhere how it works

but they cant be bothered i guess

[upper wren]

luckily this disc got u covered

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named buying exists, Kupo!

[edgy warren]

if i were to buy the sale copy now from square enix

id lose the road to 70 boost

which i still have for ~2 months

and im not about to do ARR without the boost

[upper wren]

its ok i literally bought july 9 between both 60% sales

[edgy warren]

it's generic mmo leveling

[upper wren]

[edgy warren]

ouch

yeah my buddy just bought from newegg

and missed the sale by like 2 hours

on squenix

[steep sphinx]

quick question. say im level 49, the dungeon says Level 34 (Syncs from 36)... What does the syncs from 36 part mean? Do I sync down to 34 or 36 and can i only use level 34 abilities or level 36 as well? Like I dont get why I can use Regen which is level 35 ability when Im in a dungeon thats level 34. Thought it says level 34 (syncs from 36).

[last sapphire]

To be fair the only time I think it'd matter is the very end when sometimes you end up being level 49 for the 50 quest. Once you finish ARR you get basically 0 quest exp until HW.

Crafters and secondary jobs benefit the most from the boost rather than your first job.

[upper wren]

it will sync you down to 36

[humble mason]

Is the end of ARR and the start of HW fairly obvious?

[last sapphire]

Yes

The end of ARR, the story shifts to introducing the start of HW then HW starts.

that's 2.5 and 2.55

[humble mason]

So there’s like a sort of downtime in between?

[queen flame]

I think I'm dumb but how exactly do i get these? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ironworks_Boots_of_Casting

[upper wren]

no, there's a lot of reading though

😏

you pay poetics at the poetics vendor for them

[last sapphire]

There's additional quests after you finish the very end, unfortunately it's the worst part imo but it's important to set up the HW story.

[steep sphinx]

ok. so basically if youre level 34 or 35 you sill stay that level in the dungeon, but if youre 36 or higher youll be 36 with your 36 abilities?

[upper wren]

they'll show as purchasable with the proper class

[upper wren]

if you're 37, you'll be synced to 36

if you're 80, you'll be synced to 36

[queen flame]

@upper wrenThanks!

[upper wren]

if ur 34, you'll stay 34

[steep sphinx]

perfect. thanks bud

[upper wren]

yw x2

[warm yacht]

Resistance npc just vanishes from the area before you can hand in parts

10/10 zadnor

[edgy warren]

secondary jobs are what im worried about, im the sort of mmo player where ill want to level all the secondaries

[last sapphire]

You can, you get a bonus by default

[edgy warren]

Also because I wanted to be able to ONLY do msq, i dont feel like doing generic msq side quests

[last sapphire]

100% exp on any job below your highest

[edgy warren]

it stacks with the road to 70 though, right?

[last sapphire]

probably

[edgy warren]

like how slow is the secondary job leveling

without the road to 70

[last sapphire]

It's seperate for gathering, crafting, and combat jobs

not that bad

I got my bard to 50 from 1 in about 6 days

[edgy warren]

Is it comparable to WoW or GW2 leveling?

[last sapphire]

it's significantly faster

[edgy warren]

christ, isnt the cap like 80?

or 70?

[last sapphire]

I only did leveling roulette

[edgy warren]

What's that

[last sapphire]

80 atm, but that doesn't matter if you aren't that far in in the MSQ

as all the content available will sync you down to it

[edgy warren]

Yeah I noticed that

I'm a bit torn now im ngl

[last sapphire]

leveling roulette is basically a random dungeon finder which gives you a big bonus of exp at the end

[edgy warren]

Ah so just doing dungeons it took you 6 days?

[last sapphire]

it's once a day

[edgy warren]

I guess that's not HORRENDOUS

well

[last sapphire]

yea and I didn't do them all the time

[edgy warren]

if you just spam random dungeons

how long does it take

Talking i guess to get them to 60

[last sapphire]

So level roulette once a day then highest level dungeon, you can probably get to 60 in like 3 days

you'd have to keep doing dungeons

[edgy warren]

Basically my options right now are just do the free trial through all the content available, then level side jobs

and wait for a sale

or Restart with no boost

and buy it now on sale

[digital zenith]

are roulettes once per job or just per day?

[last sapphire]

Redoing ARR story is a pain, redoing and other stories isn't because they're shorter and a lot better imo

[last sapphire]

Per day

[edgy warren]

tbh the trial will tak awhile, i play a lot of diff games and have school

[vocal cedar]

So, anyone leveling trusts atm, did they increase the amount of exp the player gets or just the Scions you party with in the dungeon?

[digital zenith]

alright

[open ember]

They did

[last sapphire]

You get access to a few different roulettes also

[warm yacht]

Ah yes, Arm's Length, the knockback immunity that doesn't give you knockback immunity. Chef's kiss

so fucking stupid

[digital zenith]

leveling BLU, was wondering if there's any content from 36-45 that doesn't involve just killing mobs in mor dhona

[last sapphire]

lvl 50/60/70 dungeons, leveling, and trials are the one I recommend

[warm yacht]

actual idiocy on the dev team with this one action

[last sapphire]

That's basically what blue mage does lol

Once you get to 50, if you haven't already done it, do the Hildibrand questline

[digital zenith]

oh well there were more spells earlier

[last sapphire]

It unlocks some good spells for blue mage

Not directly

[leaden ginkgo]

Some knockback abilites. Says right there in the tooltip

[digital zenith]

I know there's always a ton of ARR slog for any job leveling

[warm yacht]

"some" so basically nothing that matters

[digital zenith]

some good story in the Job quests but no budget of course and rarely any challenge

[warm yacht]

bc literally EVERYTHING in bozja and zadnor just ignores it

[upper wren]

I do these everyday and with the menphinas earrings, armory bonus, and rested xp it gives me exactly a level

[warm yacht]

why even have it as a skill it's fucking useless

[leaden ginkgo]

Go to rants, not the place

[upper wren]

@warm yacht arms length puts a 20% slow on enemy dps as well so its a mitigation cooldown

[warm yacht]

Some =!= literally the mjority of instanced knockback effects

[last sapphire]

Basically yea, combined with the wondrous tales giving you free stamps also

[leaden ginkgo]

You're ranting in the wrong channel regardless

[warm yacht]

How is it a rant? lmao

The skill is unreliable

I'd rather NOT pop it and just learn to deal with the mechanic

[honest anvil]

you’re not using it right

[leaden ginkgo]

It covers a vast amount of mechanics

[upper wren]

Primal folk r always angry

[honest anvil]

and you don’t understand it

[warm yacht]

kk

[honest anvil]

and you’re trolling

[warm yacht]

yep

[upper wren]

It is a damage mitigation cd if enemy is directly targetting you

[sour pumice]

I eat you

[upper wren]

Not here baka

[sour pumice]

Well that was unexpected

[turbid pilot]

Hey so would a pair of total amateurs have a chance at clearing Coils at 61 WHM and 63 MNK unsynced?

[honest anvil]

no

[upper wren]

No shot

[turbid pilot]

I guess we'll need to arrange a carrying party then lmao

[slate arrow]

[honest anvil]

or just come back later ..,

[placid fern]

Earlier when playing when I talked to this individual, the game crashed. Now when I interact with him, it goes through the dialogue like usual but no longer gives the accept/decline part to finishing the quest... any suggestions?

[warm yacht]

good to know frustrated about an ability that protects against the majority of knockback not stopping knockback = idiot and trolling

[turbid pilot]

I want him to see the story in something approaching a normal order before he re-meets Alisae

[dull valley]

@warm yacht go to rant if youre gonna keep ranting

[leaden ginkgo]

Because you're not asking a question, or need help. You're bitching

[slate arrow]

relog

[honest anvil]

the difference is ||about 1 line of dialogue||

[ripe hound]

Does anyone know if there is a community for Lord of Verminion?

[warm yacht]

Is there any way to determine if Arm's Length is effective, then, without being hit by a mechanic with it active and seeing for yourself, then?

[ripe hound]

Like if I actually want to learn how to play it

[warm yacht]

Or is it relegated to lower level content

if it's this unreliable I don't want to make a habit of using it

[turbid pilot]

there's a tutorial in-game, I just did it today, and I feel pretty confident i got the important bits across

[slate arrow]

If it only moves you, you can arms length it

you cannot arms length animation knockback

so like being hit by rathalos

[hexed cargo]

Arm

's length is great

[warm yacht]

if I can't rely on a skill to do what I think it will most of the time I would rather assume I don't have it and only play around instances where I know for a fact I can use it for extending uptime or ect

[edgy warren]

Alright so is best thing to do just keep doin what im doin then and hope for an expedient steam sale?

[slate arrow]

Are you listening or ranting

[leaden ginkgo]

Started as a rant, stayed as one

[warm yacht]

How is that a rant

[honest anvil]

trolling imo

[dull valley]

You are refusing the answer everyone is giving you because you have a presumption you are trying to prove correct

[sterile parcel]

Rantrolling

[last sapphire]

Yea. I'm fairly confident there'll be another steam sale, I got the game during the last sale for basically the same price. It makes even more sense to have one right before an expansion launch also.

[slate arrow]

Everyone else, please stop.

[honest anvil]

people are telling you how to use it, then you just keep repeating mwehh unreliable blah blah ..

[warm yacht]

Jesus lol nevermind lmao

[slate arrow]

You're also not helping by yelling back.

[edgy warren]

Yeah, true enough -- and I have other stuff to play in the meantime if i run out of trial stuff to do

Ofc there's always the possibility that squenix doesnt submit the game to the sale

[void vigil]

Trying to make a new character on Excalibur rn and its saying I cannot make a character on that server. Is that just right now or forever?

[edgy warren]

and only does a squenix sale

[ripe hound]

Also I think I heard that you can get a bunch of MGP by just joining the weekly Verminion tournament?

[slate arrow]

for now

[edgy warren]

which would suck

[slate arrow]

!status Excalibur

[zinc orbit]

Information

Excalibur is currently Online

[void vigil]

How long does it last?

[slate arrow]

until enough people log out

[void vigil]

ok ty

[onyx mason]

Is there a channel where I could ask for help doing certain content?

[ripe hound]

Depends on the content, if it’s like coils of Bahamut, pf is fine

If it’s like savage raid, we do have a channel to find a static

[warm yacht]

Does this mean that the act of striking the barrier slows the attacker as a result? I was misreading it as a slow on the caster once the barrier was struck

[onyx mason]

Oh I'm just looking for help in doing some older content. Trying to do the hard trials to finish up this HW relic.

But I'm a tank so it's kinda hard to do solo.

[void vigil]

how long does this take to go away on average lol

[random girder]

doesnt take time, its about when you make the character

you have to make it during downtime so like

in a couple hours maybe

[high owl]

hey is it possible to apply two glamour sets to one piece of gear (so glamours for paladin and warrior applied to one armor set)

[warm yacht]

In that case I can see arm's length having use, however niche, outside of strictly mitigating knockback, if it actually indeed slows an attacker down

[leaden ginkgo]

It glamors on the armor piece itself. So yes it works that way

Aren't we just a bunch of sleeper nerds that help people too lazy to google? Why are you asking us?

[upper wren]

As far as i understand it auto attackers are slowed by 20% and casters who damage arms length user are also slowed by 20%

[warm yacht]

Gotcha

Good to know

[high owl]

but is it possible to apply TWO different glamours to one piece of armor (example have one glamour chest for paladin and one glamour chest for tank applied both applied to one chest piece )

[upper wren]

Should work with glamor plates i think

[warm yacht]

So if there's a caster wailing on you you might as well pop arms even in a knockback-less fight

[covert wing]

Does anyone know why the Free Company command is greyed out in-game, along with Housing, PvP Team, Linkshells?

[warm yacht]

It's a slight dps incoming mitigation

[sick ledge]

I have to get to lavender beds through this boat but i dont know how to use it any help?

[warm yacht]

Skipper

Talk to em

[high owl]

don't think so cause i tried it and it applies one glamour set for both classes and not two different glamour sets for the two different classes

[civic rune]

how do i make it so that everytime i change class, each class has their own hud layout

[sick ledge]

cant use the 2nd some why

[echo lintel]

is it just me or siren is having lag spikes

[warm yacht]

Can you select a ward

That might be the beds as a whole

[sick ledge]

im new so idk what ward is

ill have to look that up

[leaden ginkgo]

It's a housing district for player homes

[sick ledge]

oh yeah

ik

it shows me bunch of houses

not lavender beds

[humble mason]

So I just joined a grand company and need seals or whatever they’re called to buy a chocobo license thingy, but can’t figure out how to earn the 200 seals

[leaden ginkgo]

Lavender beds is the district, like the name of a gated neighborhood

[sick ledge]

oh ok thx

[upper wren]

Msq will give some

[humble mason]

Enough for the chocobo license?

[cunning loom]

yes

[humble mason]

Gotcha

[civic rune]

how do i make it so that everytime i change class, each class has their own hud layout

[unkempt heath]

Anyone have the table of rough skill speed breakpoints for tanks?

[gleaming shadow]

Hi there. I remember hearing somewhere you can change it so you're not always on top of the party list and the tank is the first from the top instead. Anyone know where that option is ?

[obsidian patio]

You can’t, really. You can only have 4 different hud layouts that you can swap with using the hud layout menu, macros, and keybinds

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/57vpk2/use_hud_layout_feature_with_macro/

[rich gazelle]

hello, question on a stormblood sidequest ||return to ivalice. after we cleared rabanastre, montblanc showed up and blablah, then out of nowhere we're helping a dramalogue thingy having anniversary with his wife. what is that about?? is that any reference to FF12 or Tactics? can't remember about it at all.||

[reef knot]

hey guys you know how the ff14 complete edition is on a 60% sale does anyone know when it ends?

[pale saffron]

hello can someone help me, i dont see the quest to get into zadnor

do i have to complete all post shb quests for it to pop?

[steady lava]

Hey guys, can i perform ok with 180 ping playing ninja?

[obsidian patio]

Need up to patch 5.4 MSQ done for Zadnor

Which is after the dungeon Matoya’s Relict

[humble mason]

How do I change my chocobo colour?

[obsidian patio]

Probably pushing it, but you’ll be decent assuming no lag spikes

[obsidian patio]

Own housing of some kind, whether that’s an apartment or FC house, and use the stables to feed your Chocobo foods that specifically alter their RGB values

https://ffxivchocobo.com/en

[hushed zealot]

So weird controller wonder

[obsidian patio]

Note that there’s some RNG to getting the desired color

[hushed zealot]

I see you can zoom into menus with a Controller

How do you zoom out on the menu?

[humble mason]

If you need housing can I assume it isn’t possible on free trial since you can’t afford housing?

[obsidian patio]

Correct

[obsidian patio]

You mean using R3 to zoom in?

[hushed zealot]

yee

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi, im playing on a mmorpg where my #12 side button key was = but now it keeps opening the main menu, idk how to make it switch back to being the = button instead of opening the main menu

[obsidian patio]

No zoom out, have to keep going in until it loops back

[hushed zealot]

mh. Weird

Oh also

How rebindable is the controller?

Or is it "Gotta learn what it gives you"

[obsidian patio]

Not very much, but you can make L3/R3 do macros

[humble mason]

So I can only have a yellow chocobo on free trial?

[obsidian patio]

System config > controller settings

Yes

[edgy warren]

@last sapphire oh man im still going back and forth about restarting or not LMFAO

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone familiar with the settings able to help me?

[abstract vapor]

Do we know if data centre travel will be NA to EU to JP or it’s gonna be like this NA to NA EU to EU JP to JP

I don’t know if Yoshi P. Talked about it in fan fest or no one knows 🤔

[obsidian patio]

Not at first

Initially it will only be within the region

[abstract vapor]

Okay I see regional to test things out

[half grove]

is there a weekly limit to the coins you can get in copied and bunker?

[abstract vapor]

You can check in game keybinds you might changed it by mistake

[abstract vapor]

Nope

[thorn thicket]

for anyone in game, that's done all the EX trials, what's the one between Ruby and Emerald in the achievement list??

Seat of Sacrifice?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[humble mason]

What’s the difference between the level 20 chocobo and the one you get with the feisty chocobo quest?

[obsidian patio]

???

What palico

[humble mason]

Chocobo sorry

Played too much monster hunter

[obsidian patio]

They’re the same Chocobo

[obsidian garden]

Can i get a tldr of every tank job

[obsidian patio]

Video in the pins

[humble mason]

Does it just learn to fight at level 30 or something?

[leaden ginkgo]

already looked, it keeps opening my main menu instead of assigning to the correct key

[obsidian garden]

Smooth brain can't keep up

[upper cove]

WAR: BRRRRR FELL CLEAVE
GNB: Blue dps
PLD: Come friends let me protect you
DRK: the blackest night, also walking dead

[leaden ginkgo]

PLD: Uses a smashing board

[upper cove]

Sorry this isnt a very serious answer

Couldn't help it

[ripe hound]

It’s accurate enough

[obsidian garden]

Pld is just:Wall, the job?

[abstract vapor]

Hmmm what mouse you have(brand name)

[ripe hound]

Well yes, but actually no

[obsidian garden]

Or destroys controller

[ripe hound]

I think people usually consider GNB and PLD to be more squishy and dpsey

While DRK and WAR be more tanky and less dpsey?

[obsidian garden]

Ah

[upper cove]

Haha PLD is my main, but for how it looks, its actually the last candidate for a main tank. It has some useful mitigation for team mates

[ripe hound]

Very slightly

No idea lol

[leaden ginkgo]

They're pretty different in terms of lore and the stories they have (Warrior go smash) At the core they have slightly different skillsets, and some, at least to me, tend to flow a bit better

[obsidian patio]

Note that all tanks basically have the same DPS range and mitigation kit

[upper cove]

Except PLD, all the tanks have some form of sustain/heal in their normal rotation

[leaden ginkgo]

Red Dragon Impact M908

[obsidian garden]

Is there something that can just spam and somehow work

Or is that just pld

[upper cove]

Everything can spam and just somehow work basically

[leaden ginkgo]

the side buttons have always been 1 through =, but for some reason the = keeps opening main menu

[upper cove]

The tanks

Maybe not gnb

[obsidian patio]

Warrior has the easiest overall rotation

[leaden ginkgo]

wth is num-

Tanks have a single target rotation as your DPS is valuable to the overall. I find GNB to have one of the better flow charts

[abstract vapor]

Is the mouse have profiles? Try to create new mouse profile in mouse software also restart the game maybe the mouse not switch profiles

[leaden ginkgo]

I think my mouse fucked me over

[obsidian garden]

Is there one that has blocking as it's mechanic or no

[obsidian patio]

Paladin

[ripe hound]

PLD can randomly block attacks and reduce incoming damage

[obsidian patio]

Blocking is around 20-26% mitigation depending on level and gear

[ripe hound]

If you are looking for the kind of “PARRY THIS YOU FILTHY CASUAL” gameplay, DRK’s The Blackest Night is for akin to an active block

[obsidian garden]

Yeah, a parry this type

[obsidian patio]

!action the blackest night

[zinc orbit]

**The Blackest Night** : lvl 70 DRK (3000 MP) (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow

Powered by XIVAPI

[ripe hound]

Yeah, TBN is pretty fun

[obsidian garden]

I played one of those types of tanks and boy was that fun

You could always keep agrro undergeared unless you had a maxed out dps

[ripe hound]

Basically if you use TBN to block a big hit, you get a free attack back

[dire prawn]

Do we have a guide for revelation tomes?

[ripe hound]

You mean how to farm it?

[dire prawn]

Also where/what to spend it on

[obsidian garden]

Alr I'll try those out when i get a chance

[hushed zealot]

Real weird controller question for you all

[ripe hound]

Generally you spend on 520 gear that can be upgraded to 530

[hushed zealot]

How many keybinds do you get access to... with one hand

[dire prawn]

where

[obsidian garden]

Provided you have control and aren't touching the stick, 16

[dire prawn]

If you only have one hand? 16 because you need another hand

[ripe hound]

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

[hushed zealot]

I keep getting tempted to controller, but man

i can't ;w;

[obsidian patio]

If it’s the right hand it can be more since you can cycle crossbars with that hand

[obsidian garden]

L2, r2 and double l2 and double r2 gives you 16

[dire prawn]

375 for belt + accessories

[obsidian garden]

But you can also have up to 24 if you use l2->r2 and r2-l2

[ripe hound]

Unless you are disabled I highly recommend just using keyboard and mouse

[hushed zealot]

Yah i am very used to KBM

[ripe hound]

Trying to bind controller to use on single hand sounds really intense

[hushed zealot]

28 keybinds with one hand

Its less like "I need it"

And more "i can do this already on KB, i wonder if Controller would let me too"

[ripe hound]

So... you are trying to play Controller + Mouse?

[obsidian garden]

Just use what you're more comfortable with

[abstract vapor]

I tried controller but I can’t I play all 3 healers now and AST is pain on controller

[hushed zealot]

No?
I sometimes lazy play :,D

And most of my actions are on my keyboard, so

[ripe hound]

Hmm then no

I don’t think controller really fits lazy play

Controller do make fishing easier I think

[hushed zealot]

ahwell
But thank you for the answers

[obsidian garden]

As a controller player, you kinda right

@ripe hound just use what you prefer, one doesn't gives a huge advantage over the other anyways

[hushed zealot]

I was the one who asked

BUt uh thanks :,D

[obsidian garden]

Fuck

Sorry

It's 1:45am and i am tired

[ripe hound]

Also it's generally a bad idea to chain pull right?

Like, pulling a group, dps it till it's almost dead, then run to next group

[leaden ginkgo]

People perfer wall to wall

[obsidian garden]

It's just annoying

[ripe hound]

Yeah, like if you can't wall to wall

[obsidian garden]

I was about to limit break a bunch of enemies but tank pulled them away from me

[ripe hound]

sad

[obsidian garden]

Just try to keep them where they are

Makes it easier for dps to do their job and not chase

[obsidian garden]

Then i was hit with the "you know you have a massive aoe right" from the healer

[gilded bronze]

random question would a mouse like this be good for ffxiv?

[ripe hound]

Yes if you know how to config it

Pretty much every Keyboard and Mouse player plays FFxiv differently

[last sapphire]

probably fine, doesn't look great though tbh

i use a naga x

it really depends on your hand size and what grip you use

more than what features a mouse has

[ripe hound]

I did want to switch to MMO mouse for a while

[leaden ginkgo]

12 side buttons are the best ones, since they can run an entire bar from 1 to =

[last sapphire]

naga x has a nice shape for my hand

[gilded bronze]

im between that mouse or wait a little for the logitech g600

[ripe hound]

But my muscle memory is already using thumb mouse button as Shift and Ctrl as if they are L2 and R2 on controller

[gilded bronze]

my grip is palm

[last sapphire]

my personal recommendations are naga x/any other naga version or the corsair scimitar elite

[simple zephyr]

how do i unlock

trial roulette

[last sapphire]

the keypad on the side is adjustable, meaning it can be slide back or forward to give a better position

[obsidian patio]

Unlock 2 level 50 trial duties

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

You’ll naturally unlock it through the story

[gilded bronze]

problem is that naga is like 100$ and the g600 is like 40

oh the wireless is 100

[idle juniper]

for a relic reborn artemis bow where can i get a longarms composite bow?

[honest anvil]

craft one iirc

or buy one

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to make the status effects circular? saw it on a hotbar

[fading helm]

do u guys keep on other players spell effects or turn em off

[tall flower]

Is there any way to setup a macro with the red/blue/green job icons?

Instead of just having the grey background icons or the soul stone?

Like the icons you have in the party UI

[random girder]

you can use icons of abilities

thats what i do

im sure theres a job icon method but idk what it is

[honest anvil]

show limited at least to see healing ground effects

[maiden copper]

in everyones opinion, what is the best tank for pre 50 content (arr dungeons essentially)

[near path]

What are Meteor Survivors in the end credits for ARR?

[maiden copper]

people who played in 1.0

[near path]

Ah

[maiden copper]

i only ask because im helping a friend through arr msq and im just curious which tank is the "best" for the low level stuff

[alpine hound]

the ones style they like is the best

[honest anvil]

probably PLD or GNB cause they have no directional, or grounded aoe

which is a minute, minute thing to consider …

but if you must .. then there’s that ig

[robust crow]

corsair's equivalent has 12 buttons, the one you linked only has 9

might make a difference

[alpine hound]

paladin because Hallowed Ground is the best ability ever

[honest anvil]

might be a point to consider if your friend plays healer

debatable whether Hallowed is best best elsewhere though

[grim plover]

is there a meta way to build ur companion or is it kinda meaningless

[honest anvil]

there is; tank chocobo bad; dps chocobo bad; healer chocobo not that bad

[spark silo]

Ok guys, im having a slight problem with steam and final fantasy. I accidentally installed it on my HDD at first. I copied the local files to my SSD and then uninstalled the game from steam, and reinstalled it propperly on the SSD now. The problem is that steam only installs the launcher, the launcher itself still tries to now re-download and re-install the game on my HDD

Is there a way to chose where the launcher will install the game?

[honest anvil]

feels like a #technology-discussion question

[spark silo]

will try there, thanks

[quiet nova]

if i buy the complete edition

does my code have an expiration date ?

or i can buy the game and keep the code for as long as i want

[rancid crypt]

Cheers mates, gotta question. So i want to level my summoner to 50 so i can become a machinist. i read now that i need to complete some quest line to do so(wich is not the issue). On the wiki it says the quests obtainible at 50. Does that mean when my Character in his routine hits 50, or the Main Story Questline reaches lv 50?

[alpine hound]

50 is your level, if the quest has a requirement it will say the name of the required quest

[rancid crypt]

thats the first quest i need to do in order to become machinist

[honest anvil]

smn and mch are unrelated fwiw

!faq expansionjobs

[alpine hound]

i heard there is no expire date for your code, i also just bought the code and hanging onto it till i finish heavensward

[zinc orbit]

[midnight tinsel]

@rancid crypt its 80 quests after the first lvl 50 msq

[true valve]

Machinist is in Ishgard. You need to complete msq up to when you open up the city of ishagard

[rancid crypt]

thats what i wanted to know, thanks mate, so after mein msq 50 i can start rolling that questline

[dusky cypress]

Hey yall, is there a macro to disable the animation of a particular spell? I'm trying to disable just the holy animation for white mage

[midnight tinsel]

Well

Its not really a questline

Its 80 more msqs

[rancid crypt]

ye i read that already xD

[midnight tinsel]

Until you get to ishgard

Were you can get mch

[rancid crypt]

and when i somehow manage to get all the needed quests done and become a machinist, do i start at level 1 or at 50?

[midnight tinsel]

30

[rancid crypt]

thats fair enough, i can deal with that 😄 , level one would have hurted a bit xD

[true valve]

You got the deep dungeon Palace of the Dead to quickly level

[quaint halo]

Not that I know of, you can place them or make them follow you but i dont think you make make it follow another player

[open ember]

You can place them

But not follow

Its ideal to place the fairy around the tank

[ornate charm]

so whats the fastest raid to get the rare books for resistence weapon?

[naive ridge]

which step are you on?

[ornate charm]

second to last

[naive ridge]

[ornate charm]

from skirmishes

[obsidian patio]

O3 if you mean the books that come from Zone 2 critical engagements

[naive ridge]

and fill up the last few in raids

[ornate charm]

so i heard that there was no point

yeah i just nede the last few

and idk which raid

is the fastest

[naive ridge]

which ones do you need?

[obsidian patio]

Deltascape v3

For Z2 critical engagement

[ornate charm]

ok ty

and whats the fastest eden raid

for the memories?

[obsidian patio]

Leviathan

And Eden prime

[naive ridge]

you can start up a PF if you want to keep farming them

[warm basalt]

whats the fastest way to get poetics

[naive ridge]

MSQ Roulette (Meridium) or Hunts

[warm basalt]

what is the hunts?

oh hunting logs?

[naive ridge]

Hunting Special monsters in the overworld, there are discords that set those up to do many at once, but its mostly Shadowbringers and Stormblood areas as the ARR ones die really quick

if you're only at lvl 50 your best bet is the daily MSQ roulette and passively gaining from whatever dungeons you are doing

[warm basalt]

I am lv70 atm

[fading helm]

does dancer share gear with ROG NIN?

[naive ridge]

with brd mch

[fading helm]

wait rlly?

[random girder]

aiming

rog nin uses scouting

aiming accessories

[naive ridge]

you can join the centurio hunts discord, get into their Crossworld LS, they'll annouce when a SB Hunt train is going to start and go along

[naive ridge]

Dancer is ranged dps like bard and mch

[old pivot]

wow

[dire prawn]

Is there one for Aether?

I need me hunt trains

[random girder]

centurio hunts works for aether

[naive ridge]

https://discord.gg/centuriohunts

ask for a cross world LS invite in the discord when you're in game

theres a channel for it

[dire prawn]

I just logged out

[naive ridge]

they usually have a few leaders per world to invite

they also annouce trains on the discord itself

you can just go there and someone will have a pf up usually

[fluid sable]

Hi!

[naive ridge]

Hi!

[fluid sable]

I wanted to ask a question regarding upgrading the game from a free trial to a full service account

[boreal glade]

how do i get my preorder items?

[naive ridge]

they deliver them to you in game through the mogmail

[fluid sable]

Right now I'm at the beginning of Heavensward and saw that the complete edition is on sale, so I want to buy the game. My question is about the 30 day free sub

[left cairn]

If i pre-order the next expansion, but i dont have any of the other ones, do i still get them? or only when i buy the new expansion when it comes out.

[fluid sable]

if I upgrade through mogstation, can I apply the sub later when I'm done with Heavensward?

or is it automatically applied?

[naive ridge]

No.

[vernal urchin]

once you plug the key into the mogstation, you are now a paid account and the clock starts

[naive ridge]

play your free trial until you're satisfied and then apply the code

[jade quartz]

You can buy the game now and hold on to the key indefinitely

[vernal urchin]

you can hold on to the key, yeah

[fluid sable]

Ah okay

[jade quartz]

Nothing happens until you register the key

[vernal urchin]

use it when you're done with HW

[naive ridge]

the code wont expire so keep it indefinitely

[digital zenith]

Move to (Mor Dhona)[https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Mor_Dhona], set home point and start farming enemies with 1000 Needles rotation till you hit 44/45 and need to kill higher level enemies. At this point you will need 2x 3x 1000 Needles to kill till you hit 50. Gigas xxx enemies are level 49 and will take you to 50.

[jade quartz]

Only when Endwalker comes out in November

[digital zenith]

what are gigas xxx enemies?

[jade quartz]

Also you need to buy the Starter Edition

[fluid sable]

So does the mogstation upgrade path give you a separate code to apply? It doesn't automatically register it to the account?

[naive ridge]

to the east near the crystal tower

[fluid sable]

I heard that if I purchase the complete edition I wouldn't have to get starter

[digital zenith]

oh thanks

[jade quartz]

That was in response to a different person

[fluid sable]

ah okay

[naive ridge]

yes the complete edition is ARR all the way to shadowbringers

[fluid sable]

Going back to this question

[digital zenith]

and apparently the Morbol mount is tied to blu mage somehow?

[naive ridge]

yes

[digital zenith]

is that the rarest mount in the game?

[fluid sable]

I'm talking about the Mogstation uprade path btw, not purchasing through the SE store

[naive ridge]

possibly

but unlikely

there are unobtainable mounts

or PVP mounts that are probably more rare

[dire prawn]

Does the Ixion mount come from the Ixion FATE?

[naive ridge]

yes

[digital zenith]

you need to do savage raids with party of BLU?

[naive ridge]

yup

[dire prawn]

What's the requirement for it

[naive ridge]

not sure, but a few fates, 2 or 3 i think

[idle juniper]

why do people ask for item lvl 999 or 777 in the party finder?

[naive ridge]

its been a while

[dire prawn]

I meant for the mount

[naive ridge]

i think those are adds

[naive ridge]

yeah 2 or 3 fates to get enough tokens for the mount

[idle juniper]

whats that mean

[naive ridge]

ADs sorry

[obsidian patio]

Advertisements

[dire prawn]

Where would I use the tokens

[naive ridge]

they're selling ultimate clears/saage clears etc...

[idle juniper]

ohhh

i see it now

thats dumb

[naive ridge]

I think the hunt guy?

in Rhaglars reach?

or one of the guys there

[ivory rover]

How do you pronounce Leve as in levequest? is it like leave, leevee, levy, lehvi etc

[proud willow]

like Leave

archaic spelling of the word "leave" as in "permission" (giving someone leave to do something)

[ivory rover]

Ah right

ty

[naive ridge]

Eschina Rhalgars Reach

you can also get one with 1 gold commendation cert for wondorus tails

or with 400 faux leaves from faux hollow

12 tokens for the ixion mount thats 2 gold clears for the ixion fate

[dire prawn]

Is that the three lines reward

[naive ridge]

yea

[fluid sable]

Okay just to get this straight, does the mogstation upgrade path give you a key? it doesn't get applied right away?

[naive ridge]

the centurio hunts discord annouces special fates when they appear just keep a look out there.

[proud willow]

I think the mogstation upgrade is disabled, right? since a few years ago

[fluid sable]

It's reinstated

at least according to the SQ faqs

[proud willow]

Gotcha

[fluid sable]

So I'm guessing nobody knows the answer?

[proud willow]

I would assume that upgrading through Mogstation makes the upgrade apply immediately, but I was just wrong 5 seconds ago so 🤷‍♂️

[fluid sable]

I'm avoiding the SQ store because of how so many people say it's weird and they got their accounts confused and what not

[naive ridge]

the SE store account is seperate from the FFXIV account

which causes confusion

[idle juniper]

am i gonna be waiting all day if i queue for main scenario duty roulette?

[naive ridge]

no, plenty of people doing those

[fluid sable]

But the code is not locked to the account that purchased it right?

[naive ridge]

it isn't or at least i dont think so, someone else can confirm

[fluid sable]

Right now I'm logged into the SE store through the "login with FFXIV account"

which is the account I'm using for my Free Trial

[proud willow]

when I pre-ordered Endwalker just recently, it gave me keys that I had to go type in on Mogstation even though I used my same account

so yeah, I assume that all purchases through the store give you a key

which is not redeemed immediately

[fluid sable]

I see I see

oh one last question

Right now I'm in the Japanese data centers bc I live in Asia

but soon I'm going to move to the US

is it possible to transfer data center

?

[proud willow]

Costs $18 but yes

[naive ridge]

yes

[proud willow]

a world transfer can be within the data center or to another data center

[naive ridge]

or to a preferred world i think its free

but all servers seem to be crowded now

although

SE is annoucied cross data center travel before endwalker

but we dont know the details yet or how limited it might be

[fluid sable]

Okay so it is possible

thank god

alright thanks for the help

I'm going to pray that I don't mess up the buying

[near path]

Does the mount speed in zones apply to flying as well?

[dull valley]

iirc flying is always at max speed

[green grail]

the speed upgrades only affect ground speed

ie theyre useless if you can fly

[warm snow]

No, only from congested to preferred. Transfers to New servers are free which will likely be the case in the new oceania data center

[fading helm]

is there a way to know when the ixion fate is gonna spawn so i can do the fate and gewt the mount?

[naive ridge]

join centurio hunts discord they call out special fates

https://discord.gg/centuriohunts

[covert marlin]

hello, I need help setting up an account, who can I seek?

[warm basalt]

is crafted gear at lvl 80 will be enough as a starter gear?

[near path]

How do I know if the challenge log is unlocked? I don't recall doing it but I can't find the quests

[obsidian patio]

Yes Exarchic gear is good enough for all endgame content

[leaden ginkgo]

We can try to help, let us know what's going on

[obsidian patio]

Logs > Challenge Log and see if it lets you open it

[near path]

Ah, I see. Thank you.

[dusty shard]

what level does monk get his meter ?

[obsidian patio]

54 with the Meditation skill

[real glade]

what is the best way to level from lvl 47-49?

[warm snow]

Dungeons

[dusty shard]

do i have to do some quest? cause i;m lvl 54 already

[real glade]

does the level of the dungeon matter?

[warm snow]

!faq whynojobquest

[zinc orbit]

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
