[leaden ginkgo]

Any RDM abilities that are safe to remove? (Level 80)

[upper wren]

Cant believe rdm has verflare and verraise but no Versace

[twilit arch]

that doesn't answer their question

and no you should keep everything on your hotbars somewhere

[upper wren]

Yeah well if u play rdm feel free to answer

[twilit arch]

if you don't have an actual answer then you can please not say something

[green grail]

the answer is no

[upper wren]

[leaden ginkgo]

Any abilities that are safe to like, not have on a keybind?

Like I can just press with a mouse, stuff like Tank Stance

[twilit arch]

can click your buff/role skills

[green grail]

vercure and maybe reprise but you probably want a movement tool to be easily accessible

[robust light]

is there an easier way of getting to gangos?

[tired kestrel]

raise as well, since you need to click a party member to cast it on anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

Aetheryte from Doman Enclave is fastest way

[faint flare]

Aetheryte in doman enclave

That's the fastest

[mossy moss]

i love the fantasia potion

[leaden ginkgo]

I wouldn't agree, it would take much less time to click a teammate and then press a button than flick the mouse again to raise and could mess the hotbars up

[mossy moss]

i'm so glad we got it for free

just so i could put more time into my character

[rancid spindle]

So I found this unspoiled deposit. Should I go for dark matter or gold ore?

[twilit arch]

#beginner-lounge @mossy moss

[mossy moss]

oh fuck sorry

[sand grove]

Is it likely that they raise the comm requirement for mentor status when endwalker releases?

[faint flare]

No

[twilit arch]

gold ore usually sells somewhat decently

[hexed belfry]

Ive just hit level 80 and completed shadowbringers base story but to do my current quest i need 430 ilvl, where can i get higher armour, the only place i know that drops 430 is twinning

[leaden ginkgo]

Artifact gear from that NPC south of Ondo Cups

[green grail]

buy 520 gear for tomes of revelation in eulmore

or 490(?) for allegory

[faint flare]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/287679207432257538/837176031399116841/unknown.png

From pins

[sand grove]

Do the blue side quests in crystarium if you haven't already. There's a group of them that will be role related. After that you can go to the onto cups for free artifact gear

[faint flare]

That was required to even beat shadowbringers

[hollow cloud]

if I purchase the complete edition does the 30 day free play period included with it start when I purchase it or when I start Stormblood?

[sand grove]

Oh was it? I couldn't remember

[faint flare]

When you actually register it to your account

Until then you're still on trial

[leaden ginkgo]

Embolden's party buff is only good for melee DPS yeah?

[hollow cloud]

oh so its not automatically applied to your account?

[faint flare]

No you get a code

Unless you're console

[hollow cloud]

even on ps?

[twilit arch]

its only automatically applied on playstation

[faint flare]

That automatically applies

[twilit arch]

since you're tying your playstation acct to the mogstation

[hollow cloud]

ah so I should wait until I'm basically done w/ the free trial before purchasing the complete edition on ps?

[twilit arch]

ye

[faint flare]

Yes it affects physical damage only, not magic for the party effect

[hollow cloud]

alright thanks

[crisp pelican]

You need to do that anyways

[hollow cloud]

the 60% off sale on psn lasts until 19th of august anyway so I've got plenty of time

[sand grove]

Yeah vinyl mentioned that. Apologies, I'd forgotten it was required for story

[glass cipher]

On some armour it says "discpiple of war" what does that mean?

[proper cipher]

Means only those classes can equip.
SO the physical damage roles.

[twilit arch]

it means that its for the physical dps jobs: bard, machinist, monk, samurai, dragoon, and ninja

[proper cipher]

Casters are Disciple of Magic

[twilit arch]

after 50 though gear becomes more specific on who can equip what

[spring elk]

i'm a little confused: if I buy this https://www.play-asia.com/the-far-edge-of-fate-final-fantasy-xiv-original-soundtrack-blu-r/13/70b26d do I get the Nidhogg pet?

[glass cipher]

are there any benefits of using that type of armour?

[twilit arch]

I believe you do yes @spring elk

[oak ice]

You get the stats you need for more damage

[rich gazelle]

hello, i have tank question. i recently ran through one dungeon, i think it's aurum vale but not sure. i pulled 2 groups but ended up dead. is that really my fault or the healer's? i just assumed it's mine so i apologized and only pulled 1 group from that moment onwards.

[oak ice]

A monk, for example, isn't helped by magic classes' stats

That is an extremely broad question

[proper cipher]

We can't tell of a vague description

[twilit arch]

the first room can be a bit tricky since its a fairly small space with a lot of adds that path back and forth

[oak ice]

Any number of things could have happened that resulted in deaths

[twilit arch]

but that said, its not easy to tell just from your description

[rich gazelle]

i used my tank buffs as well

but still died

haha

[proper cipher]

Did you use your mitigation?
Were they healing you at all and just couldn't keep up

Were the DPS actually hitting things?

A lot fo factors go into a death ina dungeon

[rich gazelle]

hmm i've only ever used dps and tank so i have no healer experience

anyway i didn't want to be toxic and assumed it was my fault so i apologized

[oak ice]

Did someone accidentally get pooped on by the walking frogs?

[rich gazelle]

hmmm can't remember the details sorry

but in general cases, pulling 2-3 groups should be fine right

[oak ice]

Shit happens, get back up and do it again

[rich gazelle]

i've done several other dungeons and it went fine

pulling 2-3 groups

like the vault for example

just pulled to the two horses place

and killed em all

[proper cipher]

Depends on the dungeon

[rich gazelle]

ic

[proper cipher]

Depends on the party

[rich gazelle]

i heard sometimes it's difficult to heal when tehre's a pillar blocking vision?

[proper cipher]

Theres not really a rule for everything

[twilit arch]

yes

[oak ice]

From Heavensward onwards, all dungeons are designed to be pulled until the game physically stops you from continuing

[twilit arch]

if you're out of line of sight you can't be healed

[leaden ginkgo]

does race matter?

[oak ice]

No

[proper cipher]

No

[rich gazelle]

ok

thanks

[meager patrol]

quick question, if you boost a job to 70 do you get all the class gear?

[twilit arch]

no

[shy creek]

should I save the allagan pieces of bronze and silver or just sell them to any vendor?

[rich gazelle]

this is good to know, i'll keep it in mind

[oak ice]

Sell them

[upper wren]

Sell

[twilit arch]

you'll have to buy the sets either from the calamity salvager (50/70) or from centurio seals (60)

[leaden ginkgo]

ok i'll pick au ra then 🥶

[shy creek]

thanks

[faint flare]

[meager patrol]

is it expensive?

[twilit arch]

no

[heavy wadi]

[twilit arch]

they're pretty cheap

[oak ice]

1000 gil

[meager patrol]

kk thanks

[oak ice]

If that much

[crisp pelican]

Dw about it

[meager patrol]

Is BRD storyline worth not boosting through or nah

I haven't heard much good about it

[twilit arch]

ehh bard's story is ok

but you can always do ng+

[unkempt hull]

is there a way to default the social pane to my friends list?

[twilit arch]

if you really wanna go back thru it

[oak ice]

It's pretty middle of the pack

[twilit arch]

its not as bad as pld atleast :d

[meager patrol]

PLD has the 60-70 tho

[oak ice]

You can keybind a shortcut to open the friendlist

[meager patrol]

which i hear is good

[twilit arch]

eh

but like i said

can always play thru it via new game plus

so no real harm in boosting if you want

[meager patrol]

gotcha gotcha, you've been a big help

[leaden ginkgo]

What do you guys think is the most mechanically demanding class?

[fleet vale]

I finished all of my daily wnd the weekly hunt mark for the seals

[leaden ginkgo]

I've only tried a handful of classes so I wonder

[fleet vale]

I am lvl 66 how to join rank A and S

[rugged plank]

Guys, I just bought a Complete Collector's off Square Enix website and I just learned I can't activate it on my Steam bought starter edition and Square will not refund it either, any options here?

[fleet vale]

I must lvl up?

[heavy wadi]

I'd say mnk or smn, tbh, though I'm sure others have different answers

Smn just because they have a 2min long rotation

[faint flare]

And pet jank

[heavy wadi]

And if you die you're fucked

[fleet vale]

well?

[upper wren]

Exchange/sell

[elder herald]

hey i just unlock astrologian class at level 30 where can i level up fast?

[leaden ginkgo]

how does ninja compare to those tough classes/

[upper wren]

Maybe you can get somebody to give you $20 steam wallet lol

[leaden ginkgo]

is it a middleground, or seen as more easy

[rugged plank]

I was thinking about that, yeah. Man, this is a really dumb system

[upper wren]

Duty roulettes, followe by highwst available dungeon

[upper wren]

Yep its unfortunate. Sorry bud

[elder herald]

my daily roulette is only level 12 tho

[hybrid notch]

Do your squad members have to be level 80 before your eligible to get your GC Captain rank?

[elder herald]

should i still do it?

[upper wren]

@elder herald the leveling roulette gives half a level

[twilit arch]

No, you need to have them at rank 40, be 1st LT and have completed 5 different command missions (aka dungeons) with them

[elder herald]

thats good?

[twilit arch]

and then the flagged mission will appear

[hybrid notch]

Oh, they're all pretty close to lvl 60 lol

[spark monolith]

does thief want dex?

[upper wren]

Read dex description

[twilit arch]

yes, rogue/ninja's main stat is dex

[faint flare]

Yes

[spark monolith]

ok

oops i said thief

lmao

[upper wren]

Its ok we knew u meant ninja

[faint flare]

It's the only melee to not use strength

[fleet vale]

in order to do rank A and S hunt elite marks I have to be beyond lvl 66 right?

[mossy moss]

question, can i color my gambler's barding for my chocobo

[fleet vale]

[twilit arch]

[brazen lion]

How do we get rid of the novice plant

I want another one

I finished HeavenSward and I have more than 200 hours

[wintry chasm]

Gotta do more main story and whatever for it to go away naturally

[faint flare]

A and S rank hunt traints

[leaden ginkgo]

Anything to change / edit in my hotbars?

[faint flare]

No

Only for Shadowbringers hubts

[half kraken]

Stormblood ones are the ones you want

[wintry chasm]

^ you did both HW and SB hunts?

[half kraken]

He's 66

[wintry chasm]

They both give centurio

[fleet vale]

but do stormblood also reward centurio seals?

[half kraken]

Wait 66 can do SB lol

[faint flare]

A and S ranks are lv50/60/70/80 for each expansion respectively

[wintry chasm]

^ that too

[fleet vale]

isnt it differenrt currency?

[wintry chasm]

No

ShB is different currency though

[fleet vale]

I see

[half kraken]

Only 80 is different rest same

[fleet vale]

ok where to start in stormblood marks ?

the hub I mean

in HW it was Ishgard

[half kraken]

Kugane

[faint flare]

Kugane or Rhalgars have the hunt board

[fleet vale]

I see

thanks a lot!

[half kraken]

Rhalgr may not have it until after sb msq

Not sure

I am noticing quite a few triple triad NPCs are not showing up on my map, does anyone know why this might be?

[crude nacelle]

what's the fastest dungeon to clear to get the command mission emotes? (squadron)

Can a F2P player join FCs?

No

stone vigil can be done fairly quickly

Flare has a 10k mp cost I'm lvl 52. When will i be able to use flare?

[faint flare]

It costs a minimum of 800

[warm snow]

You can, its free stats if your gear isn't synced, it just doesn't matter

[faint flare]

So dump your mana

Then flare

It's your aoe finisher

It doesn't cost 10k, it costs EVERYTHING

[zinc orbit]

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:

Grand Company Gear

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.

How do I do that I’ve been tryna rank my grand company

Thank u

[glass cipher]

just reached lvl 10, how do I change my class?

[warm snow]

Do your class quest

[obtuse dagger]

As a new player with only the trial, which jobs are fairly "complete" at level 60 (as in, close to the lvl 80 playstyle/not missing central skills) ?
I just realized that Paladin for instance doesn't get the whole magic phase until pretty much 80 (requiecast at 68 and insta casts at 78)

[warm snow]

Then they'll tell you you can go around and join other guilds

[robust crow]

none of them ronflex

[glass cipher]

so I should go to the guild I want to and do their quests?

[warm snow]

Black mage a bit

[robust crow]

all jobs at 60 are only a shell of what they are at 80

[obtuse dagger]

Yes

[warm snow]

You need to be done with your starter class quests firsts

[glass cipher]

all of them?

[warm snow]

Then yeah just do at other guilds

[warm snow]

All 3 of them

I know, horrifying

[maiden palm]

are there any missable side quests that i wont be able to do after i finish a certain part of msq

[warm snow]

No

[glass cipher]

I don't think I understand, i've done more than 3 guild quests. but there are still more available.

[warm snow]

No, your starters class quests

The class you started as

Its quests

From starting the game to level 10 there's only 3 of them

[obtuse dagger]

If you want to be a pugilist for instance, there's a quest at the pugilist guild that says "So you want to be a pugilist?" or something similar. It'll be red. You do your starter class quests and eventually (fairly early on, can't remember what level exactly), the pugilist quest will turn blue. That's when you can get other classes

[ivory olive]

Just encountered a Triple Triad thing that confuses me:
Rule is Ascension
There is a card with the value 8+3 on right.
I play a card with 9+3 left next to it on the right side.
Why does it not flip? Is 12 not greater than 11?

[stone wigeon]

Can someone explain jobs and classes

I joined the marauders guild

Does that make me a warrior?

[boreal storm]

I’m pretty sure they both count as 10, it’s dumb I know

[proper cipher]

At level 30 you'll get a stone that turns you into a warrior

level 30 class quest that is

[glass cipher]

The first three of these?

[ivory olive]

Does it really just stop counting at 10? Well that's stupid. Thanks for the answer tho.

[jagged canyon]

for minions bought off the store, are they one character only or something? i have cloud strife on my character on another server but i never received him in the mail on a new character i just made on a new data center

[warm snow]

Kinda, you only get 1 of the level 1 quests

Since one is for unlocking thaumaturge and the other is for players that start as thaumaturge

[empty rose]

If I want to get into housing, what jobs should I focus on?

[glass cipher]

Okey, thanks.

[warm snow]

Alchemist and carpenter

[obtuse dagger]

So there's really no job that has all their most central skills at 60 ?

[robust crow]

they're missing a lot of skills

like you said, paladin is missing their whole magic phase

[warm snow]

Lol no, is constantly changingn

[robust crow]

black mage gets fire 4 but is still missing triplecast, xenoglossy, despair

[warm snow]

Drg is decent iirc but still not great

[obtuse dagger]

Ya but i was wondering if other classes were lacking such a big part of their skills

[robust crow]

DRG is awful

they only have 4 parts of their combo

and not the 5th

[warm snow]

Still no aoe

Oh yeah only 4,not 5

Shows how much melee I play

Rdm barely changes but you can't play that anyways

[spring lintel]

Why wont black mages use Freeze 1 instaed of blizzard 3? Freeze 1 costs less mana and have smaller cast time

[warm snow]

I'd say blue mage but you're missibgn good shit

[robust crow]

blizzard 3 is only used to switch back into ice phase from fire

it's also higher potency for 1 target

[warm snow]

Because blizzard 3 is more damage on single targets and is only used to swap phases

[robust crow]

you do indeed use freeze, even during single target, if you need to recover though

[obtuse dagger]

Like i don't really care if they're missing upgrades or w/e, as long as it's not something that changes completely the feeling/gameplay compared to lvl 80

[warm snow]

Too bad

[robust crow]

if you fuck up and drop enochian or if you die, you're going to either swiftcast fire 3 or hardcast freeze

even in single target

[warm snow]

All jobs play very differently between 60 and 80

[obtuse dagger]

[warm snow]

Even tanks

Especially warrior

[obtuse dagger]

Ya i saw warrior also lacks inner release at 60

[verbal rune]

Aside rdm

[honest anvil]

have triple triad drop rates from duties ever been adjusted?

[leaden ginkgo]

Should I wait until I’m done wit all MSQ before joining like a goldsmith guild n stuff like that

[warm snow]

Not that I know of

[warm snow]

You can do it whenever

But you won't realistically be able to progress past an expansions level cap

[honest anvil]

this eden card is an abomination to get farm >.>

[spring lintel]

Ah i thought freeze also switches, nvm then

[obtuse dagger]

What about healers, do they also play very differently between 60 and 80 ? @warm snow Not super interested in dps atm considering the queue times lol

[robust crow]

well, it does switch, but you don't use it for single target

[warm snow]

Oh big time

[robust crow]

you only use freeze to switch phases in AoE or if you fuck up and need to recover

[obtuse dagger]

Well shit

[robust crow]

but again, it does less damage than blizzard 3 for ST

[obtuse dagger]

I guess i'll try black mage then, looking at the list of spells you're "just" missing despair and xeno from a gameplay pov it seems 🤔

[robust crow]

i mean

you're missing a lot more than that

you're missing the level 68 trait that lets you flare twice

[simple pine]

blackmage has crucial passives beyond 60

[robust crow]

you're missing the level 72 trait that lets you switch phases after being at 0mp

[simple pine]

its one of the main reasons it feels so terrible to play at lower level

[obtuse dagger]

Oh i didn't look at traits i'm dum

[robust crow]

you're missing umbral soul which lets you maintain ice form

[obtuse dagger]

🤔

[fallow sandal]

if i bought the steam standard edition do i have to buy the expansion from steam or squareenix store

[proper cipher]

steam

[obtuse dagger]

Ya didn't look at passives fck me

[frank dune]

ive just got to lvl 60 on a payed account, ive finishged heavensward and the last job quest i did said that i got a redemption code for stormblood. ive looked at my CD keys and i only have the code i used to redeem the game. where do i get the code to redeem stormblood?

[simple pine]

if you want a caster that plays well on low level you might want to go for rdm, it pretty much plays as complete class from when you unlocked it. i temporary switched from blm to rdm for lvl 70 ultimates

[verbal rune]

Did you buy the complete edition?

If so then you're set

[warm snow]

Your probably mistaking the sb equivalent of this mesaage

When you complete an expac job it always tells you that for the next one you need the expac even if you own it

[winter elm]

If I want to switch to another class, should I wait until max level? I'm a Bard right now and thought about switching to Summoner but I would start at level one right? I'm also unsure of the most efficient to level way when I did switch

[frank dune]

on steam when i transferred from the free version (i transferred from SE launcher to steam) i payed £10

[verbal rune]

So you bought starter edition

[faint flare]

You need shadowbringers as we

[verbal rune]

You need to buy ShB (which includes sb) in that case

[faint flare]

To access stormblood

And onwards

[warm snow]

You can't buy stormblood on its own anymore, as its just included with shadowbringers

[frank dune]

ahhh, okay thanks for the help !

What should I buy with poetics, besides gear?

I got all the gear I need for now so I guess I should look into using the extras for gil making

[polar flint]

You dont need to max out your Bard before switching to another class - The only thing that would hold you back is you wont be able to continue the Main Story until you have another class of the same level as the Main Story

[zinc orbit]

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

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

[polar flint]

Its honestly a good time to test out what you like because it may not be the class you think it is at higher levels

[honest anvil]

but making gil with poetics is … not a profitable thing fwiw …

[wintry sable]

Any glam experts who know the name of this set? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/348606827414053530/

[warm snow]

I just buy poetics books to level Alchemy desynth

[pine onyx]

I need to spend them before I cap

[warm snow]

Bunch of different shit #glamour-discussion would know more specific shit

[honest anvil]

buy anima stuff .. no gil but save you time when that cones

[leaden ginkgo]

I kinda skipped every single conversation and every cutscene : ) I didn’t know the story was like the main thing in FF. Is there any way I can catch up on everything?

[warm snow]

And anima relics are gorgeous

[pine onyx]

New game + or videos/text summaries

[warm snow]

It's a final fantasy game first mmo second, so EVERYTHING is tied to and locked behind the main story

There is a doc by a mentor of details but i don't have the link

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah I’m lvl48 rn so idk if I skipped a lot or not lol

[lusty oasis]

Which tanks do you peeps like to play per 50/60/70 level? Like for example now that I've unlocked TBN I don't think I can bring my drk to level 50 or 60 trials or raids anymore. I'd much use PLD for 60s and I guess GNB for 50s

[twilit arch]

there's a doc pinned in #archived-lore-spoilers

that recaps the story

[warm snow]

Yes you did

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1je6Vyv2zhiAt2Rn7eBOMg5fOMk-59U5gd8YBx3zd-zw/edit

Here's the doc

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet thank u

[winter elm]

Heard. Isn't there a dungeon or something people do purely for leveling? Something with layers or floors right?

[leaden ginkgo]

Since I’m at lvl48 how far do I read up?

[polar flint]

Palace of the Dead or Heaven on High

[simple pine]

for lvl 70 GNB is the clear favorite tank, other than that not huge leads

[warm snow]

Its probably got marks for that and check against your current msq

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet thank u

[winter elm]

How are those accessed?

[wicked whale]

Hey all, i am just about to buy the game right now and i am actually confused whether i will be charged an international transaction fee for my subscription when i got my cc linked to mogstation. I am based in AU and will get it from en_AU region but as far as i know it is still based on EU? I have been looking around this issue for some time but still can't find an answer. anyone has experience on this?

[polar flint]

Palace of the Dead you can unlock from South Shroud (Quarrymill) Heaven on High (Level 61+) is accessed in The Ruby Sea

[warm snow]

@leaden ginkgo it's all broken into individual pages so it should be easy to track with min spoilers

[winter elm]

Cool. Didn't know if I needed to do base game story or what. Ty

[polar flint]

Palace of the Dead can be accessed from level 15 I believe

[warm snow]

@wintry sable that page linked straight to this btw https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/57210/wandering-crystarium-captain

[humble mason]

Around how long is the ARR story?

[fresh lodge]

It probably depends on which bank you're with, but I don't pay an international fee

[warm snow]

About 40-60 hours ish iirc depends how side tracked you get

[wicked whale]

thanks for answering, currently quite worried if it does charge an international fee bc the 3% really adds up overtime

[fresh lodge]

Oh hold on

It might charge a fee

[humble mason]

Is it the same for Heavensward and other expansions?

[warm snow]

Expansions are a bit shorter, there's also patch content for every expansion including arr

[fresh lodge]

I have international fees around when I buy sub, but I buy a lot of stuff online so it could be anything

But its usually only 50c or something

[broken cairn]

I'm able to use the Scholar job boost from the Online Store as an Arcanist, correct?

[warm snow]

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it

Especially for scholar

[broken cairn]

Is for an alt

[warm snow]

Then yeah go nuts

Had someone who drk boosted from the start, didn't have a hunting log as a result

[still imp]

Hi, I've seen Leap of Faith on youtube videos, and want to try it myself, but the "sabotender guia" isn't visible for me, I can't find on google how to get him visible

or am I completely wrong, how do I start the jumping challenge?

[warm snow]

Leap of faith is a GATE

Gates only start every once in a while in the gold saucer

[still imp]

yeah I've read that leap of faith would be 20 minutes after an hour

could be misinformed

[mossy moss]

they're active every 10-20 minutes

[still imp]

but thats in 3 minutes

[mossy moss]

a gate that is

and it's random

[glass cipher]

How can I get to Gridania?

[warm snow]

So, you heard it was at 20 past, then you came here to ask before 20 past?

[mossy moss]

sometimes you get to shoot targets or fight a special boss and so on

[still imp]

ah okay, the gate keeper now tells me that slice is right

[warm snow]

Level 15 msq

[mossy moss]

airship

or you can port there if you've been there before

[glass cipher]

guess i'll have to keep going with Black Mage then :/

[warm snow]

Yeah

[glass cipher]

I really don't like the class.

[warm snow]

15 levels into msq isn't that long

[ivory rover]

What do people generally spend tomestones of poetics on?

[warm snow]

And all the jobs feel crap at the start

[verbal rune]

At lvl 10 you can also change with any class from ul'dah

[zinc orbit]

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

[warm snow]

For me: desynth levels for alchemist as I've made all the anima relics

[glass cipher]

there are only pugliists there

[ivory rover]

ty

[verbal rune]

And gladiator (the tank)

But yeah, push a bit up to lvl 15

[glass cipher]

once i become an archer, will I have to travel between Gridania and ul'dah aloot? for msq quests and guild quests

[agile laurel]

for msq, probably.

[mossy moss]

gladiatior, thaumaturge and pugilist are all the jobs you can pick up in ul'dah in the start

[agile laurel]

best to just assume msq will take you everywhere

[bright wagon]

when looking for a FC should we look for one in my data center Light or my server Twintania?

[warm snow]

The msq from 1-15 is set in your starting city, after that your msq takes you everywhere

[agile laurel]

server

[warm snow]

Server

[verbal rune]

Twintania

[bright wagon]

❤️ thanks for info

[glass cipher]

is travelling with airships free?

[twilit arch]

no

airship has small fee associated to it

its like 100 gil or something

[warm snow]

Your first trips to limsa and gridania for msq are free tho

[mossy moss]

^

[oblique saffron]

Are the Hard versions of the OG primal fights required for the MSQ?

[twilit arch]

yes

[warm snow]

Don't worry about travel costs the msq will keep your wallet in a reasonable state

[oblique saffron]

Thought so, just making sure. Thanks

[mossy moss]

wdym reasonable, i made over 200k off of msq alone xD

[glass cipher]

I have 60 gil right now :/

[warm snow]

What did you spend your gil on?

In the first place?

[glass cipher]

teleporting

[proper cipher]

What level msq are you on?

[honest anvil]

that’s one way of saying you just started without saying you just started

[glass cipher]

10

[honest anvil]

ye, keep teleporting … you’ll get more than enough gil for that :3

[proper cipher]

Then you'll get more money by the time you can travel anyway

it's the level 15 msq that lets you go to other cities

[kindred siren]

do i have to get to idyllshire to be able to buy the shire gear with poetics from the vendor in foundation?

[upper wren]

Lmao wtf

[twilit arch]

you need to complete the main scenario quest "Heavensward" for the vendor in foundation to appear

[agile laurel]

If you're familiar with other MMOs, teleporting starts as something you might have to be thrifty with, but after a while it becomes a literal non-factor

[mossy moss]

^

after a while msq gives you so much gil you can spend it on teleporting all the time

and you can't run out of it

[tropic flame]

unless you buy glams off mb

[proper cipher]

Doing the MSQ and some roulettes gave me enough to buy an apartment. And by the time I started SB i was back at over a million

[verbal rune]

Speaking of which

I can buy an apartment any time?

Or those are limited too?

[glass cipher]

okay, and one last thing.. for now... why am I not able to equip my class armour, the button "equip" is greyed out

[twilit arch]

Technically but realistically no

apartments are much more plentiful than houses

may just have to look at one of the newer wards to find open slot tho

[upper wren]

Just use the recommebded button always

[verbal rune]

I guess people want an house to show off then?

[twilit arch]

and/or for gardening reasons

[verbal rune]

Does it follow the same demolition rules as houses?

[twilit arch]

nope

[honest anvil]

but definitely to show off

[twilit arch]

your apartment is yours forever until you decide to relinquish

[mossy moss]

is there just an endless amount of them?

[verbal rune]

Nice

[proper cipher]

Not infinite

[verbal rune]

Might get one then

[proper cipher]

But a lot more than there are houses

[verbal rune]

Just to dump stuff In it

[low iris]

I need help my game keeps saying I’m entering this wrong (pc name@Brynhildr) face/me then I’ll do tiny edits and it still says I’m wrong

[glass cipher]

still doesn't explain why I can't use it

[tribal apex]

How can I put actions or spells on the expended cross hot bar?

[proper cipher]

Is it for your class? is it for your level?

[verbal rune]

Controller?

[proper cipher]

What are you trying to equip?

[upper wren]

@glass cipher read the tooltips im sure youll figure out whats going on

[tribal apex]

Yeah. Can’t figure out how to do since when assigning actions it won’t pop up

[glass cipher]

Disciple Of War armour, Thaumaturge class

[twilit arch]

Thaumaturge is not a disciple of war

[proper cipher]

DoW is physical dps

[twilit arch]

thus you can't equip it

[proper cipher]

You're a disciple of Magic

If the text for the class is red then your not on a class that can equip it

[verbal rune]

What hotbar are you putting it skill on, is the same as the expanded one?

https://youtu.be/KkqB32JhJ4g

[glass cipher]

hm okay, then why do I get that in quests instead of magic?

[tribal apex]

No they aren’t the same. Well kinda

I know how to work the normal cross bar

But this won’t pop up when assigning abilities

[twilit arch]

you either picked the wrong reward or did a quest that gave rewards intended to be completed by a disciple of war

[proper cipher]

Because the quests are for everyone. Some will only give Caster equipment

[twilit arch]

not every quest is going to give gear that will be appropriate to your class

[proper cipher]

Generally if it does there'll be a Allagan piece as an alternate reward to get some gil via selling

[verbal rune]

It should also explain extended hotbar

[glass cipher]

i'm doing the MSQ, and I do have options for other rewards, but shouldn't I be offered disciple of magic instead of war as a reward?

[proper cipher]

Not always

[twilit arch]

the msq is intended to be completed by all jobs

[simple pine]

sometimes it alternates between quests, 1 dom 1 dow etc

[twilit arch]

so its going to offer rewards between the role sets

sometimes it'll offer war job gear

sometimes it'll be magic

[glass cipher]

alright, thanks.

which classes uses war?

[lavish sierra]

when can I buy level 70 gear with poetics'

[tropic flame]

dps classes

[tropic flame]

when you get to rhalgr's reach

[glass cipher]

e.g dragoon?

[proper cipher]

Physical DPS so Ninja, Dragoon Samurai

[twilit arch]

dragoon,bard, monk, and ninja for a realm reborn jobs

[solar bison]

do i need to skip to get my items from the shop?

[proper cipher]

What items?

[solar bison]

oh wait i mean restart

do i need to restart, i bought the skip from the shop

and i am not getting anything on my moogle delivery

[twilit arch]

sometimes can help, can also hit the "request delivery" from the mail moogle

ultimately tho just have to be patient

[proper cipher]

Servers are just busy. it can take some time

[twilit arch]

the system is a bit swamped

[solar bison]

yeah it worked thanks @twilit arch

it was pretty instant

[low iris]

People I need help my game keeps saying I’m entering this wrong (pc name@Brynhildr) face/me then I’ll do tiny edits and it still says I’m wrong

[twilit arch]

not sure what you're trying to do exactly?

[proper cipher]

What are you trying to do?

[midnight tinsel]

i used my data center discord recruitment channel

[minor ridge]

why are some people unaffected by any mechanics on the main stage in the gold saucer

i saw them get full bodied by bamboo and nothing happens to them

[solar bison]

is steam store down

[halcyon tulip]

they failed the GATE already

[faint flare]

That's the fun of Culling

Attacks have a upper limit of people it can hit

If there's WAAAAAY too many people, then people just won't get hit cause the attack limit was reached

It's often seen during hunts with mass trains

[lyric rapids]

can someone tell me what are those i see sometimes around the world?

[faint flare]

And just not being Hit by aoes

[faint flare]

Sightseeing logs

[lyric rapids]

oh ok, thanks

[simple pine]

sightseeing logs, you can do /lookout while standing in them usually to unlock them (some need other emotes)

[faint flare]

Most are /lookout

Some are sit or pray

[upper wren]

They give you like 2% xp

As well

[solar bison]

does their website not sell stormblood on its own? instead of the skip/tale

[simple pine]

yeah stormblood is included in shadowbringers/complete edition

you cant buy it on its own

[minor ridge]

do you know why they were able to use whatever that is

[solar bison]

braincells lost successfully

[twilit arch]

that's paladin's skill, passage of arms

assuming you're talking about the blue wing skill

[faint flare]

Those are people who failed but stayed on

So they can act normally

[twilit arch]

and ye if you've failed and aren't knocked off the platform can use abilites as normal

[faint flare]

But they're not part of the game

[minor ridge]

thats a bit

[low iris]

The gladiator quest were you need to tell someone to face me but it keeps saying I’m wrong

[twilit arch]

you need to target the person

and use the emote /me

whenever a quest says do /action, its indicating to use an emote or skill

[simple pine]

just when you get the third

[mossy moss]

I can do praetorium for tomestones endlessly correct?

[twilit arch]

can sure

[faint flare]

You could

[simple pine]

yes, but the bonus for MSQ roulette is 1 time

[mossy moss]

like, there's no weekly cap for tomestones

[faint flare]

If you have enough Netflix to watch

[mossy moss]

old ones ofc

[faint flare]

Nope

Only revelation

[twilit arch]

nope, no weekly cap for poetics

[mossy moss]

perfect

[waxen siren]

Then I wait 30s for it to be removed?

Or can healer remove it?

[simple pine]

you need to wait yeah

healers can only remove debuffs that have a blue banner/light on the top of it

[coarse leaf]

whats the difference between "PC Download" and "PC"?

[faint flare]

Physical vs digital

[waxen siren]

I see, I was struggling to tank it earlier what with all the switching and the nails and stuff

[chilly mulch]

Hello, I'm new to the game but my current data center choice doesn't seem to be the right one for me. I did some digging and saw that cross data centers will be a thing. Is there any limits to this or will data center choices not matter anymore in the future?

[simple pine]

at the start it will only be NA servers to NA, EU to EU etc, but we think there will be accross all regions eventually

also if you are visiting another server/datacenter, you wont be able to access your retainer, mail, join a FC

[chilly mulch]

I see.

[dreamy reef]

can someone tell me what magic job to start with that can become a black mage and i want dps not healer

[silver gyro]

Guys i just recieved a response from customer service that they changed my birthdate on my account to what i requested, and i input whats supposed to be the new one and it says its still invalid, do account changes take a while to "activate" after recieving a response?

[glass cipher]

doing side quests barely makes any xp

[simple pine]

i dont think any MSQ quest should be really hard, did you check if your gear is up to date? if it is a solo instance you can lower the difficulty after failing once

[glass cipher]

i'm using the recommended gear, how do I lower the difficulty?

[open coral]

That's a level 12 MSQ? What part of it are you finding difficult?

What's your current level and class?

[faint flare]

Deaths in story instances mean you're undergeared (shouldn't happen if you've been taking gear) or not doing a Mechanic or being hit by stuff you shouldn't

[glass cipher]

lvl 13 thaumaturgist

[open coral]

Are you trying to go through all of the enemies to get to the boss?

[glass cipher]

Yeah...

[open coral]

Try going around the back of the camp so you don't have to fight off the smaller ones as they respawn.

You should only actually need to kill three or four of the attendants to be able to get behind it.

I'm assuming you've done your job quests.

[molten delta]

Hi all, I brought the game last week yet i was given an invalid code it wont work.

[sinful holly]

is there some sort of spreadsheet for the best levekits for crafting? (or to at least let me know how many leves i need from like 1-80 for a class)

[open coral]

So just use Thunder to keep it dotted, then spam Fire 1 > Transpose > Blizzard 1 on repeat until it dies. It can help to have some potions available too if you're simply taking too much damage.

[open coral]

Where did you buy the game from?

[molten delta]

Not steam

[open coral]

From the SE store? The codes from there shouldn't be invalid.

And that you bought the right thing?

And what did you buy exactly

And what's your account type

[open coral]

The guards in the camp don't go away, but you can stand behind the tents and hit the boss without aggroing extra mobs as they respawn.

[faint flare]

Trial isn't ownership of the game

Just pull them one at a time since you're low level and squishy.

How can I get my gear melded?

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

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

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

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

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

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

See the bottom half

Gear can only have so much of 1 stat

[open coral]

You just need Shadowbringers if you own the base game.

!faq buy

[sacred oracle]

[open coral]

Kugane or Rhalgar's Reach

[faint flare]

Rhalgars or kugane after finishing stormblood base

[upper glen]

i see thanks

[sacred oracle]

OOF

im still patch quest HW

and 70

[faint flare]

Heavensward is the only time you can get it early

You gear for your story level

You can pick up like gunbreaker or dancer to soak xp

As they start at 60

[sacred oracle]

i am the gunbreaker

oh well

guess i have to start doing msq

[humble mason]

What is tome gear?

[sacred oracle]

gear you can buy using tomes

very good

[proper cipher]

Generally anything of a level Gear, dungeon , etc will be locked behind the MSQ of that level

[faint flare]

Tomes are basically special currency you get for doing old endgame stuff

[sage mirage]

Level 50/60/70 gear that you buy with tomestones. Lets you get what used to be endgame gear for those levels

[maiden palm]

challenge log is weekly , what things are dailies besides a cactpot

[open coral]

Roulettes

[violet patrol]

Is this a good place to try and form a party? I need help with yojimbo and I’ve been in queue forever

[boreal storm]

Party finder

[storm vector]

does glam spiritbond if I dye it?

[sage mirage]

Nope

[storm vector]

oki so I can dye it for now and still sell it later

[sage mirage]

Yep

[warm snow]

Yeah you're sol

That's so far down the hildi story line that few people have it on their roulettes

Best luck during reset

[sage mirage]

If it's for fashion report tho, that'll spiritbond it

[open coral]

If you're on free trial, you're kind of out of luck. If you've paid for the game, however, you can make a group in Party Finder instead and run it unsynced.

I don't remember whether the Yojimbo version of the fight was in the HW version or the SB version.

[hollow gate]

Whats the benefit of making an Aetheryte your home?

[robust crow]

i don't think you can reach yojimbo on free trial

isn't that the stormblood portion of the hildibrand quest?

[sage mirage]

teleport to it for free every 15 minutes

[open coral]

I honestly can't recall whether Yojimbo is HW or SB because you fight him in various forms through the entire Hildi quest.

[violet patrol]

@open coral yeah I own it and yeah it’s stormblood

[hollow gate]

Aaah tysm

[sage mirage]

you can also register 3 aetherites as your favorites, and you get half price teleports there

[humble pewter]

everytime it brings up help it shows controls for a controller when im on mouse and keyboard

[raven sage]

You only fight Yojimbo once. The other fights are fully gilgamesh

[proper cipher]

If you get the companion app you can register a second homepoint I blieve

[hollow gate]

Oo thats rly neat tysm for telling me ❤️

[robust crow]

hey it's not just gilgamesh

you fight enkidu too

[raven sage]

U right

[robust crow]

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey, so a fried subscribed using my code and he's supposed to get a friendship circlet but it says it needs to be through a sort of game time card?

[raven sage]

But yeah the sb fight is the only one with yojimbo

[leaden ginkgo]

where does he get that card from?

[violet patrol]

I was hoping to find some people in here that were down to fight him with me for fun lol I wanna finish this quest line

[final thunder]

Help...

My account is from eu

But somehow ...i got the wrong version of the game

[open coral]

Did your friend upgrade to the full version of the game within the last 30 days?

[final thunder]

Is there anyway to change your account region?

[leaden ginkgo]

i mean, he just started to he just did everything now

[open coral]

Then you'll both get your rewards once his free 30 days are up and his paid sub kicks in.

[leaden ginkgo]

ah so no mind the card? he can just subscribe and it's the same as a game card?

[open coral]

Correct.

[sage mirage]

I got a prompt to put in a recruit code on my first game time purchase, not when I first bought the game

[leaden ginkgo]

ty ❤️

[umbral moat]

Someone said there's a way to reduce the number of players on screen. Where is that?

[robust crow]

can you still sign up a friend for recruit-a-friend after they've bought the complete edition

[dull valley]

@robust crow no

[faint flare]

Yeah

[limpid glacier]

how do I reset my camera?

[faint flare]

You do it before they pay the sub

[robust crow]

oh, neat

[sage mirage]

If they haven't bought game time yet, you can do it then

[faint flare]

It's the time between registering the game and buying the first month sub

[dull valley]

dont they have to make an account before buying the game?

[faint flare]

They have until they buy time

[dull valley]

ah ok

good to know

[simple pine]

can i turn off the little floating debuff/buffs on other players?

[faint flare]

Yes

Turn off Pop up text in character configuration and UI

It also removes their damage numbers on mobs

[simple pine]

that also turns it off for myself?

[faint flare]

No

That's flying text

For your damage

[simple pine]

ok. that could have been clearer in settings

[drifting girder]

do you have to fully log out before applying texture mods or is only back to the main menu enough?

[simple pine]

fully

[drifting girder]

alright ty

[heavy jewel]

i just got gunbreaker and was looking for glamour to make me different a bit but man the starting armor for GB is too cool

[simple pine]

[robust crow]

[heavy jewel]

is there a way to dye my 60 gunbreaker armor?

[hollow gate]

How do I view and summon my pets?

[robust crow]

the cartridge belt on the side is a nice touch

[heavy jewel]

i like everything but the cartridge lol

[cosmic juniper]

If I download the game through steam, does the game take my steam account credentials as my FFXIV account? Or do I still have to make an account with FFXIV? I think it’s called square Enix account?

[faint flare]

Once you have a minion, use the minion item then Character menu button > minion guide

[open coral]

You still need an FFXIV account, which you'll then link to Steam.

[hollow gate]

Tysm :D

[cosmic juniper]

Thanks. And I assume the linking is done when I launch the game on steam?

[open coral]

Yes, it should be.

[hollow gate]

Is there a damage meter for this game? feels like i do really low dmg compared to other people

[faint flare]

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[faint flare]

It's this

[hollow gate]

Ah tysm

[solar bison]

i am confused, i bough shadowbringers and i only got stormblood

from steam

where is the key for shadowbringers?

[sage mirage]

Shadowbringers and Stormblood are bundled together

[faint flare]

In your Steam keys as usual

[alpine shadow]

did you check your cd keys in library -> manage -> cd keys?

[solar bison]

why is shadowbringer not showing up on moogle station then?

it just shows stormblood

[alpine shadow]

in the cd keys?

then you haven't bought it i guess

[solar bison]

how can i buy storm blood on its own??

what

[quick pawn]

anyone knows

if we have ingame calendary?

[faint flare]

No

[solar bison]

they are bundled together under "shadowbringer"

[alpine shadow]

what does your library -> ffxiv -> manage -> cd keys look in steam.

[spring elk]

is this like a 0.1% drop chance?

[alpine shadow]

probably 😐

[honest anvil]

hien card?

[open coral]

It's not that low, but it's pretty low, yes.

[heavy jewel]

Can you get banned or in trouble for price gouging items on market board that you can purchase from NPCs?

[alpine shadow]

no

[open coral]

No. But it's still a dick move.

[solar bison]

@alpine shadow as i said there is only storm blood with my old keys

[proper cipher]

it's a 0.2% drop chance

[heavy jewel]

agreed i just bought one that was apparently cheaper from a shop

[proper cipher]

I have no idea

[alpine shadow]

stormblood in there? are you sure that shadowbringers have been bought on steam then?

[heavy jewel]

i guess maybe some people don't have access to certain npcs starting out

[quick pawn]

that was to my question?

[solar bison]

is there even storm blood on steam?

i cant find it

[alpine shadow]

it was

[faint flare]

Yes

[sage mirage]

I sold an armchair for 30k that was sold by an npc for 5k, lmao

[alpine shadow]

it was sold when shadowbringers wasn't out yet

[open coral]

You can't buy Stormblood separately. It's part of Shadowbringers now.

[solar bison]

yeah i bought shadow bringer and they gave me storm blood

without shadow bringer wtf

[alpine shadow]

that's not possible

[open coral]

Literally impossible.

[alpine shadow]

you must have bought stormblood before then

[solar bison]

i literally just bought it

[alpine shadow]

can you show the "Shadowbringers" store?

[open coral]

Did you enter the code from your cd keys on the Mogstation?

[solar bison]

in the email it says i bought storm blood

[alpine shadow]

email?

[solar bison]

but that makes no sense

the receipt

[alpine shadow]

what

how did you do that

[alpine shadow]

... are you using a third party client?

[solar bison]

these mfs i swear, i paid way too much

NO

it was shadowbringers

it was supposed to be anyways, same price and all too

[open coral]

What does the product say in Steam?

[alpine shadow]

well, idk how you managed to buy stormblood

was stormblood in your wishlist?

[open coral]

Like when you look at your games?

[alpine shadow]

this is shadowbringers: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1016870/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Shadowbringers/

[solar bison]

yeah

i know

[alpine shadow]

if you just bought it, contact steam support

cause that is their problem

[hollow gate]

We are 2 dps and a tank trying to queue up but it says one of us isnt meeting reqs however we all have unlocked the dungeon

what could it be?

[solar bison]

if i pay for shadow bringer i should have shadow bringer AND storm blood right?

[open coral]

Correct

[alpine shadow]

yes, but you have bought stormblood for some reason

[faint flare]

Check everyone's gear, someone item level might be too low

[alpine shadow]

steam bug somewhat

[open coral]

Check your games library and see what it says you have there.

[alpine shadow]

their reciept says they bought stormblood

[heavy jewel]

its usually called the complete edition isn't it?

[paper dove]

anyone has a macro to run at the camera instead of slowly moving backwards?

[solar bison]

@open coral its final fantasy online why would a dlc change the game

[proper cipher]

on the ffxiv page in your library. Click manage DLC. How many are there

[paper dove]

or to turn 180

[open coral]

I know what the reciept says. That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking them to look at their games library.

[alpine shadow]

?? well, you can't get shadowbringers with stormblood key.

[hollow gate]

we're all same ilvl i think

[alpine shadow]

only shadowbringers have stormblood

[obsidian garden]

how do i unlock drk

[faint flare]

What dungeon is it

[hollow gate]

The tam tara deepcroft

[alpine shadow]

arr -> heavensward -> stormblood -> shadowbringers

[solar bison]

did the old stuff bug it out or something

[faint flare]

Continue story to get to heavensward

[alpine shadow]

@solar bison contact steam support

[obsidian garden]

pain

[proper cipher]

^ what you've done shouldn't be possible.

[hasty nova]

when I use a Reagan Pepper I Lose the chocobo's rank?

[robust crow]

disband the party and have everyone attempt to queue individually

[faint flare]

Mmm...make sure everyone has it unlocked...You're ONLY queing for tam tara and check peoples gear

[robust crow]

if someone can't queue then there's your problem

[faint flare]

No

Just resets skill points
