thats strange considering mine was full when i joined and had to wait till 3am
Lower population relative to the other servers in that region
So for Chocobo breeding, can you only breed by buying a covering bird; or can I earn another Chocobo another way?
Doesn't mean low population overall wither
Plus we don't know what's "low pop" for SE
where is the 20 leves in ul'
ummm
is the trial I used the wrong one? I think this is counting down
did I fuck up?
I just wanted the f2p mode
Do u have a retainer?
did you purchase starter edition
Did you pay anything
Cause if yoy did then you brought the game
And aren't trial
Or you're a player who already previously owned the game and has come back for the 14days free login campaign
Trial is like it's own program right? Then tyou have to use the transfer thingy to put it in the real server
either way you are not on the free trial, and you cannot return to the free trial on this account
not a separate server
but you do use a different launcher.
Sorry yeah
Yeah
Yes
yep
you can get the ARR 4man trials.
But it's incredibly fast
so it's kinda appropriately scaled
So I unlocked Extreme Trials and some Hard Dungeons, I don't intend to do them right now and they are occupying way to much space
Are they important lore wise for the MSQ or they are more side-gigs?
my friend is wondering if he can use the steam install to launch the game for the mog station version or if he needs to reinstall?
Side gigs
No p2w
He can't
he is switching form steam to mog version, so he needs to reinstall right?
That is not possible
i mean with a different account
Then yes reinstall
Is there a way to switch your account from a steam account to a windows one?
Hi guys, im at level 47 and I need to get to 49 to continue with the MSQ. Whats the fastest and best way to get exp?
k ty, wasn't sure if he could just make a shortcut outside of steam to launch the already installed game
No. Need a brand new account
fml
Daily roulette then highest level dungeon spam
They really need to sort out their account system, perfect opportunity with all this new money rolling in
I'm getting a ton of mixed answers, but tl;dr i've progressed on the steam version of the game and have the standard game which i believe is only arr and hw and i've only done arr, could i get the 60% key off square enix store and use it on steam ?
@faint flare ok thanks
so I just hit 80 and have my eyes on the Gobwalker mount. I read somewhere that its far easier to get now that the level/powercreep is higher? Isnt raids scaled to level like dungeons/trials?
It's from the 4th Alexander savage raid
You unsync it
That raid is literally impossible to solo
So you'll need a group to unsync it
whats the downside to unsyncing?
2+ people should be possible
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
Basically none really... No xp and you need people in your party prior
or is leaving it "synced" just a challenge for people that want to beat it properly
Synced is for challenge
Synced, no echo, min ilevel
No items, fox only, final destination
Is maximum challenge
it says it will forfeit completion rewards but is that unrelated to item drops? just the gil/etc
Gil and tomes
fair enough
Technically exp but I don't thinks a savage raids give that even if you're synced
so I beat SB and I'm still doing MSQ's. Am I doing post SB now? or what
All expansions have a "post game" of patch content yes
This was the case in arr and heavensward

can you get road to 70 bonus on free trial accounts?
yes
You could
Now no one gets it lol
oh cause all servers are full or something ?
Finally reached lvl 80, is journeys end gear good?
Due to UNPRECEDENTED levels of new players, the servers are basically on fire. Now no western worlds are preferred so people can't get road to 70 yet
It's your entry gear
Aka your job gear
Ooh
You'll get a set of your job gear in msq, that's your lv80 starter set
Once you finish 5.0 you'll be able to spend the lv80 tomes in eulmore as the next dungeon has a 430 ilevel req for msq
I see
is there any way to preview dungeon gear without owning the piece? stuff from the market I can just preview etc but dungeon gear is obvs just not there
Other than that not really
Ty ty
question is it ok to send them out even though only 2 of three attributes reaches the required amount?
I'm on the free trial through the FFXIV launcher, so if I bought Shadowbringers from Squenix store would I also get Stormblood?
Tyvm
another question. I just hit 80 and got the 430 gear from tank quest.
-Whats the best way to get my rings/neck/ear etc up to speed
-Whats the best iLvl/armor to aim for next
poggers
ahh ok so Im bennfeting lvling a lancer then
what about dragoon gear?
well that be viable to transer to?(edited)
i should update that guide now tbh
now that caps are increased and nier raid resitrctions are removed
Lancer is dragoon
someone recommended the Nier raid to me ingame. I see thats 490. is it worth the step or should I go straight for 500+
ah ok thanks :)
puppet's bunker is 490
Lancer is a baby dragoon
paradigm's breach is 520
you're gonna need to run puppet's bunker anyway to unlock the 3rd raid
may as well go do it
fair enough I got some leads to explore 🙂 thanks both
quick question about dancer: am i supposed to use Fan dance whenever i get the proc for fan dance or should i save up until i have 4 feathers to use it? generally, how many feathers should i hold before i start using fan dance
Save 3 feathers
Use the 4th when you get it to avoid overcapping
Use all feathers during raid buffs
okay cool, thanks!
specific question but,
my friend is coming over, they have a free trial. i have a ps4 with the purchased version. if they log on with their account on my ps4, will their account be affected?
No...on console, your psn is tied to your account
🤔
so they would have to make their own psn account and download the free trial separately ?
Your psn is connected to your square account only
The trial is locked to one device
So if they already started it on pc they can't use trial on the same account of ps4
ah i see
but i cant download the free trial on my pc even tho i have the game already
so they could play on my pc and i can on the ps4
Just turned Level 44 in Summoner.
What's the benefits of using Surecast instead of just using Swiftcast?
They could
Surecast is Anti knockback
It doesn't affect your spells
Swiftcast makes your next spell instant
Surecast does have anti-interruption of spell casting, but it rarely ever comes up
It's primarily anti knockback
Generally only if you take damage you’re not supposed to, like auto attacks from dungeon mobs or aoes
So I could be in a boss fight and if the boss were to say... knock me out of the arena.
Surecast would essentially say "no" and I wouldn't move?
Yes
It's extremely useful skill in high end content
Even in Normal content there's more knockbacks then you think
It doesn’t work against all kinds of knockbacks but it does against most
And is often extremely useful in endgame content
So I had originally set up to play on Mac which I hate before I learned this was on PS4
Is it possible to have another few trial?
Or like move it to my PS4
Gotcha. Thank you all for the feedback!
Shot
Need a new account as trial is locked to 1 devicd
Ugh ok
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
fastest way to knock out the final resistence step ?
nice
i mean ik its dungeons but which dungeon should i be spamming
Moogle (FR) is on Chaos, Shiva (DE) is on Light
apart from that, doesn't really matter
Raw emotions? I think most people I heard did hell’s lid
alright ty again
when u can fly in HV?
aether currents
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
If i purchase a house permit from market board can i use it in any area?
So I need a new email? Ugh my buddy told me it wasn't on PS4
Yes
If you buy a level skip for Summoner, do you get a free level skip for Scholar too?
Technically yes
But not the job quests done for scholar
So you need to go do all the job quests for scholar
And get gear
So I’ve been testing DRK (I’m lvl 56) and I can’t understand this Blood Weapon skill cause it doesn’t look like I’m receiving any mp when I have the buff on?
is there anyway around that? Or is it 100% not possible to switch to my PS4 under my OG free trial
Hey I’m trying to remake this outfit. I have the moogle stuff but is the vest level 80 or is it at level 1 so I can put it on any class
Does using Swiftcast on Ascend help? I haven’t noticed a difference 🦃
Hover over the chest and wait abit, it says the name of the glamour
I mean...Ascend is 6s cast....swift makes it instant sooooooo
Yeah
It helps
Any commands to find a recommended UI guide? Stuff is just messy rn lol
!action blood weapon
You're probably missing if you're trying to hit a level 80 dummy
Ok so does this skill like update its description when I get blood gauge?
I am lol

As AST, I used swiftcast then Ascend, and it took at least 4-5 secs to raise someone . What’s going on?
yes
is the "bunny gil farm" still a viable option or is there something just straight up better?
Eureka bunnies can still make good money
cool 🙂
The person being rezzed needs to accept it. Some people hold off to avoid mechanics
Which dungeon is best to farm tomestones of allegory and revelation?
@cosmic pilot All the dungeons in Expert. So Matoya's Relict and Pagl'than
For example
Do you guys think that endwalker will go on sale a few weeks before it comes out?
Why would it?
It would make no sense lol
Thanks. Does tomestones have weekly limit?
@cosmic pilot yes
Usually it's 400 but since we're at the end of the expansion we're at 900
Didn’t that happen with shadow bringers though?
Will do, cant open it yet atm. Sorry
what are the differences between eos and selene?
Those 2 are the best choice?
that doesn't feel right
Scholar really does feel a bit of an afterthought lol
but ok
I have 336 hours of playtime and I just finished the SB quest requiem for heroes, but I still have the sprout icon? can someone tell me when it's supposed to drop?
glamour even in the skill tree
Outside of opener
That really depends on the marketing team's strategy. It would be too much of a loss close to release date, unless the demand means they can fudge it. With it releasing close to posting 4th quarter, they might just to head into black
since i learned its normal to be over-leveled for MSQ, would it matter at all if im like level 55 starting heavensward? im also on a road to 70 server
@cosmic pilot Simply whichever are the latest released dungeons. Since those are the last 2 expansions of Shadowbringers, yes
Makes sense
Nope, you'll be scaled down for dungeons if you overlevel anyway
@manic tide nah im lvl 57 and still hasn't started HW yet
When you begin ShB
Does the server matter?
No
As

So pick any of those?
Yes
Ok
I mean 4th quarter posting is Oct 1st to Dec 31st. So I'd imagine they'll hold off posting until after the holiday season in Dec. I wouldn't think they'd have a sale just because of the timing
dumb question, what server does richcampwll play on XD
midgardsormr
What's the total amount of MSQ in SHB?
u sure, heard it was cactuar from someone
including patches or without?
Cactuar is asmon
nah asmon is on cactuar, it actually says at the top of his stream rn
106 quests
though, i am not counting required role quests and crystal tower
Oh cheers regardless!
For comparison HW leveling story is 94, and stormblood is 122
also another question, if Im a trial can I play stormblood
no
damn
Nope, only ARR and Heavensward
heavensward is the top for free trial, buy the complete edition if you want to continue the story
But you can play up to 3.5 patch quests
any idea how long it generally takes to be able to make a new character on a server? I have 3 friends trying to get into my server but it won't accept any new characters lol
So if you reach that then buy the game you can go straightcto Stormblood
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
love the game, but hate the fact of subscription based xd
which world are they waiting for?
I'm on Behemoth
so havent bought any yet
i wanna reinstall ff14 in another driver will that mess up my in game hotbar
keep refreshing https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/ and it should open up any time i guess
well, maybe when people log off
no, it is stored in your "My Documents" folder
otherwise you can back it up in the cloud which ffxiv has
Alright I'll keep watching this then thanks
Guys I just got an email after buying endwalker and 60 days game time saying it was a Europe Store purchase, does that work on Tonberry? Please help
Your servee doesn't matter for buying the game
It's your account region that's stated on mogstation
Do I need to buy the DLCs to progress past level 50 or just a subscription?
How do Isee it? @faint flare I'm on mogstation now
You need to buy the game proper to go past lv60
!faq buy
Where on the mogstation do I see if im NA or EU
Square Enix settings at the top
Oh
It says Europe & Other regions
as registered region
Why is it Europe?
and how will that impact me?
you set it as EU
I live in AUS btw
AUS is considered European
which is better for you, cause purchases don't require you to live in the NA
Does the class matter?
not really
You can be every job on 1 character
Yes there's maintenance
damn
For server upgrades
Like can I pick hand to hand and do a sword stuff?
All jobs use 1 weapon type each
@dark wigeon Do be aware all Jobs are locked to specific roles
Maint: <t:1627005600:R>
Ohhh
So if you're using a swordxand shield (Gladiator/Paladin) you will be a tank
!faq newplayertips
White Mages are always healers, monks are always DPS etx.
I preordered the new xpac, will I have access to shadowbringers now or when the xpac releases?
when it releases
So I can't play it until November?
yep, you can't.
is the 30min afk cd gona be permanent
No
or its just a situation thing
situational, but probably gonna last till 6.1
Oh well I'm only upto heavensward
It's a normal thing around expansion launch
its just due to the current situation
it is normally enabled during expansion launch and then some weeks later turned off
also someone from Famfrit has wolf marks i c an buy?
This will probably stick around until a few weeks after expansion launch
but given that we're experiencing a very unexpected surge in population numbers its been enabled early
Wolf marks aren't tradeable
Whats the drop rate for these like from FATEs?
It was buffed this patch
It will likely last until next year
I don't think anyone has tested it yet
Since you know, it's one time
Raids were buffed to drop 3 as well iirc
I bought the deluxe edition and used the code, I just logged in and didnt get any bonuses
When do I get them?
there was a site that had rotations and info built into it and before the site loaded it was a animation of a lalafell hammering something
Is that the in game mail?
sounds like teamcraft
ring anybells?
yes
ty
YES TY
It'll come through you just need to wait
I mean I got the earring and toy
Servers are pretty busy at the moment
but the mount wasnt there
Endwalker collector's stuff?
Yeah
that isn't available until endwalker releases
The endwalker mount? oh that;; be at release
is there a class that is similar to red mage but more complex
You can't use that code yet since those don't exist
So I dont get it?
Oh
You get the code during early access
its not part of the pre-order bonus
Where's the best place to grind fates for someone at lvl 32?
fantasia isn't included in the endwalker collectors edition
when does pre-order stop?
when endwalker officially releases
oh bummer
The pre-order code gave minion and earring the collectiors edition is Mount, minion and weapon but you'll get those at release
thanks for the help
is there a class that is similar to red mage but more complex
Anyone know the answer to this?
What quest do i need to complete to be able to do the stormbringer fishing quests?
what are you doing fates for?
Seals
I’m level 47 and cannot continue the main story quest till level 49, any suggestions what I should do? I did the daily duty roulette already
do aurum vale
two or three runs should be enough
What is aurum vale? Sorry I’m new 😦
do roulette, then turns in items for seals
For seals do dungeons and trade in gear.
And for levelling. Highest level dungeon and roulletes are best way to level
Can't do either right now.
!quest going for gold
it is a dungeon that you unlock doing the side quest "Going for Gold"
Nedrick knows of a place where a skilled adventurer might hone <span class="alternative-container"><span class="alternative">her</span><span class="alternative">his</span></span> skills.

Can't turn in items because I'm too low level with the company, can't do roulette because one of them is bugged for some reason. @honest anvil
how do i summon the minion
bug how?
from the preorder bonus
right click item -> minion guide -> click the minion
It's not giving me the seals as a reward and it's not counting as completed for the daily roulette, for some reason.
Thanks y’all
if similar as in rigid rotation then try a melee like nin or drg … though just an imo
just came back recently
hello 🙂 I am very new. something I am not understanding about glamour is, do I need to keep every single item I get if I want to use it to change my appearance? I've kept every armor piece I've gotten while leveling cause I dont know what else to do with it
So, got an answer @honest anvil?
if you want to glamour a single piece one-by-one yes, othewise you use a glamour dresser to fill up the glamour plates which you store so you don't have to carry the actual items
It is. I'm very confused.
if you have done all your glamour quests, you should find your glamour dresser in your inn-house.
what do you do when youre dead in a dungeon
return or wait till you get a ressurect, never return in a mid-fight tho
@balmy seal Hope you get rezzed lol
thank you very much @alpine shadow
but while i think, north central shroud has a few 30+ fates in the NW area iirc
lol. I was doing the titan dungeon and i was confused the whole time, i didnt know it was on purpose that i couldnt attack the titan
@balmy seal Oh if you fall off from the Titan arena you can't get rezzed
that makes sense
ty
It makes Landslide one of the most dangeroud attacks in the game lol
Since it's big knockback
benchbrant meadow is the aetheryte; or travel to gridania itself and walk there through white wolf gate
How to unlock trials?
ty
The fisher retainer is the same as MIN/BTN in that can only catch what I have unlocked in my fishing log? I hate fishing and was hoping my retainer could do it for me T_T
Second night in a row I've gotten this... I was D/C from the game, then trying to log back in a message about the "lobby server" being unavailable
Didn't start happening until last night
pin 📌 in #doh-dol-lounge has leveling rotations
not saying it’s the same same error but others have encountered that for the past week so in a way, you’re fortunate it has only happened to you last night >.>
A glitch in the AFK auto-kick maybe? But last night I was in a FATE, this time I was in a cutscene
it resolves itself after a bit though
What is the different between fending and slaying gear?
Game just completely exits after the lobby server error, have to login all over again
Fending is tanks, Slaying is Monk and samurai... And dragoon for accessories
Alright thanks
for the fashion report, how do i check how many points i have accumulated?
So how is Tower the best leveling? I got MAYBE a full level after 1-30 and it took an hour
I think only way is to check what rewards you've got already and get a rough figure from that
for the FR
What the fastest way to lvl up BLU for solo player?
the floors for palace of the dead that are best spammed are floors 51-60, and even then its less effective than spamming your highest level dungeon if your queue times don't suck
Gotcha, thank you
go through things about 5 levels above your level range and kill mobs like that. if you have a friend getting them to blow stuff up for you in amh araeng/kholusia beach for lv70 mobs is your best bet
what are some possible causes for not getting seals from leveling roulette?
they haven't unlocked a grand company yet
they're capped out

@pine elbow ^ any of this apply to you?
Nope
I'm a proud member of the Immortal Flames, and definitely haven't hit any caps.
I've got a possible idea of what's wrong that I'm about to test.
oh has you friend unlocked GC?
My friend?
werent you grinding with someone else?
If I switch to PC, do I have to rebuy HW - EW?
How'd you know that? Don't think I've mentioned it here.
And yes, they definitely have, but they weren't even in a party with me.
@wise acorn If you mean from ps4 to pc, yes
You will get the same characters but you have to buy another license
@dark wigeon Either system options or character options
How long can I save an activation key for?
Figured it out. Had something to do with the starter guildhest being selected. @honest anvil
what does the gear customization mean
You can put the Fc crest on gear
!faq buy
is there a way to check past chat logs in game, from days ago?
Nope
A GM may have access but what would it be for?
which DoH/DoL jobs do i start with? basically i want to craft weapons/armor and cook food
So I just got to Lvl 30 Paladin, if I wanted to make switch classes to lets say a healer, would my MSQs start from the beginning? or would I continue progress at a lower level? like how does that transition work
Armourer makes the metal armour
Weaver I think makes robes and stuff
quick question, whats the quickest way to get haunting and vixactious memories of the dying?
thats best bet?
Hello! I just reached level 60 for MCH and would like to know if I can purchase level 60 ironworks gear
if so, where?
k, thanks!
Is that in Dravania?
Yes
Nope you'll unlock the area later
Means you don't need the gear
Yes
Sweet 🙂
They're HW's version of ironworks
They look so much cooler too haha
Does anyone have suggestions if i should take choco cure or the 30% XP ability for my racing chocobo? It's R2 so awhile to go
hey how do you unlock the parrocks?
Which classes have the most creative freedom?
art classes
Have summoner and Lancer leveling but Lancer feels so 1 dimensional
Blue mage since you can pick your skills
I mean in combat
But it's not a proper full job
There's no creative freedom
All jobs have a rotation to follow
Or the very least a priority system
Lancer is 1 dimensional as it exists on the horizontal plane.
Right but I mean in pvp
known as the floor
I want a high skill cap class
Pvp is a completely different thing
How do I unlock the Nier raid? I just finished Shadowbringers.
its not the most... popular part of this game
pvpaissa is the pvp discord
Yeah I know
Word about Korma in Tomra
My number is attached to an old account I dont have access to so I cant get in pvpaissa
Since I can't phone verify
But ty
I tried the faq contentunlock but didn't see it on the list. Thanks @faint flare
what does this down arrow mean?
thanks 😄
So far I’ve been sticking only to msq for ARR and job quests for my warrior, should I be working on the hand/land stuff too?
Follow up question, how does the hand/land stuff work?
Crafting and gathering is basically "do whenever you want, but do them all when you do"
They're their own jobs with skills and gear
Once you start them you spiral into them all and next thing you know it's 3 weeks later you have no gil and you inventory is more full of random crap than usual
What’s the benefits of them, because there’s a whole lot of them
what would you say is endwalker ready?
You can meld your own gear with materia
Story done. Gear at least 520+ minimum
Are they all worth it, because there’s a whole lot of them
You should do them all
That's up to you
Otherwise you'll kill your wallet
Personal enjoyment
Cause the various crafters needs mats from others
It's something to kick back and take a break from story
Do they each explain how they work and how to level them when I start one?
Question, what should I be doing daily in the Golden Saucer?
All the crafters are basically thr same just making different stuff
All the same skills
Miner and botanist work the same,.just gathering different stuff
And Fisher is....well fishee
Grab bait and go fish
@faint flare youve been answering questions for hours how do you do it?
Do I use fish to make stuff too?
Have you tried having nothing to do all day?
Fish is used in culinarian for some recipes i believe
In some culinary and rare few alchemist receipes yes
understandable
That sounds like heaven, your a lucky person lol
makes sense
what is the emote called where the character does lie ka "jumping cheer" motion? i cant find a clip of it but i saw a roegadyn do it on stream
Alright last question on the subject, are they worth doing when you’re on free trial due to the limited storage space and money cap, or should I wait for when I buy the game?
Cactpots. Gates.
You can do Verminion as well if you want to farm stuff
So far I’ve just been selling mats
Won't really have much use for the end products unless you're using it yourself so eh
Thank you, so this may be a dumb question... what are gates?
Events that spawn every 20mins
They're kinda like Fates but in the gold saucer
Special events that happen every so often
There'll be an announcement.
Then just talk to any gate keeper and they'll transport you to the npc you start it from
Oh wow that's super helpful, thank you!
What’s the orchestrion? I just checked my inventory and I had some orchestrion scroll thing that I used
Music player
In Inn rooms and other areas you can play select music you've found the roll for
Oh that’s cool
Can place one in house/apartments and have a playlist of music you collected
In videos or streams I’ve seen people run around playing custom music, what’s that about?
Which dungeon gives the most of Tomestone of Revelation?
Can bards play custom songs or something?
Bards can yes
Bards can play songs
Performance
And they get to write the songs themselves?
Still need 200 more of revelation
its like a mini MIDI play controlled by keyboard some people use 3rd party macros to play songs
It's people actually playing notes

Or using a third party thing as stated
PF since its a extreme
So ~ is there a dungeon that gives Revelation the most or all gives same amount?
Anything above Savage you should generally use PF for
what is the emote the roe is doing in this clip called https://clips.twitch.tv/RelentlessAlertDootMingLee-Mdvfnu-TjcRCvZwI

Probably the /cheer emote for roegadyn
Clear delubrum... Which Involves getting rank 10 and doing castrum in bojza...and Continueing the story (continue it more to unlock Zadnor and the final relic steps)
was maintance not supposed to be later?
3am
Oh shit
I am on a relic reborn and need to go to amdapor keep but how do I unlock it?

@outer cipher that quest ^
Also server kicks don't penalise you afaik
Thank you @proud willow
Cause it's basically a disconnect
it's just to avoid getting people queueing for content and then leaving before the duty loads
or leaving while a duty is in "working order"
working order being all players that queued are still there
You only get penalty if you physically Leave
if you are disconnected, when you reconnect you'll be in the duty still
unless you were kicked out
or the duty was completed
or abandoned
Once you 'beat' an NPC in triple triad and collect all their cards the ! mark above their head goes away. Is there anyway to make this visible again? For example if I want to get some easy wins from earlier NPC's for the 10 wins challenge log
doesnt get much easier than the triple triad master in gold saucer
the one who unlocks triad for you
Okay, so if I buy the license for ShB, I’ll be good to go all together?
Im dreading having to buy everything separate ere
if you own starter edition: buy shb
if you dont own starter edition: buy complete edition
Why can’t I take items and complete some missions?
like quests? some have it so you have to select 1 option instead of giving you all of them. like when completing you pick a reward
is it possible to trade items from a friend whos a lower level, dye it then trade it back to them?
how to be eligible for free-login? Like, you need to be absent for x months?
I just started, should I just ignore side quests and focus on the main story/unlock quests? I noticed they give a crap ton more exp.
yeah if u want to just go through the content. Some players take it slow and do everything with a ! mark
for lore tibbits
Sounds good ty!
blue quest is particular should do cuz they unlock features/dungeons, unless it is about leve quest
ah gotcha ty!
absent for 30 days minimum
as in
no sub
EU servers under maintenance (not home yet, can't check)
Thanks
so is using midi to play instruments as a bard considered to be 3rd program usage therefore bannable?
how can you start a dungeon with less than 4 people?
@heavy jewel in ur duty finder menu (u key default) click the top left button and press undersized party
oh sweet ty
I have question for steam players: If I start the free trial on steam and then decide to purchase the base game later on, do you know if the demo in my Steam library will dissapear and my "Hours played" on steam will carry over to the full game? Or is it treated as a separate install and i'll have to have both the demo and full game in my library
you'll keep it but have to redownload the whole game appaerntly since you upgrade to the full version
so your hours will not transfer on steam
character and such will
though just to be clear, if you're on steam trial, purchasing the full game must be done on steam only
Thank you, i've been getting conflicting answers
That seems like a hassle to redownload so ill probably just start the trial through the SE site
if you have nothing to lose with starting the trial on the SE site instead then yeah
i encourage it
also apparently the full version is on sale on standalone so you may be interested in that
Duty pops, so I have to abandon the leve quest.
Only I can't abandon the leve quest becausae I'm registered for a duty, but I gotta change my job...
x.x
Maybe it would have let my change my job, unfortunately I didn't think about that before the timer ran out <_<
it would have let you change your job yeah
i have put on the 3 pieces of gear that i done for my warrior lvl 45 but i cant seem to unred the npc which is "looking for the part"
any thing im missing and it is vigil pieces
and they are lvl 41
Just hit the recommended gear button
oh i did update the gear too nothing
Update the gear saves that as your gear set. The recommended button is the one on the left
i did save the gear set
The blue person
so idnk what is wrong
does shadow bringers comes with storm blood in steam ?
i have vigil eye piece and upper armor and shoes
blood* oops
yes shadowbringers includes stormblood
unless they are the wrong gear for inspection
they mean hit this
ah alright, me and my friends just finished 2.0 and are deciding to restart by getting square enix's complete edition 60% off
either that or pay full price for shadow bringers on steam
wouldnt that be the same price
Where can we exchange Tomestone of Phantasmagoria?
eulmore
So the quest you're trying to start is Looking the Part
Is that a custom UI?
yes
shadow bringers on steam is 40 rn, the complete edition is like. an insane 23$
from Curious Gorge?
i just did that nothing
Which NPC? I forgot
oh wow ok if youre ok with replaying arr then go ahead lol
all the way on the left from the big plaza in the cneter, up the stairs
arr was just so boring xd the fetch questsss
Thanks
big row of NPCs as a big desk
did you open the coffer it gives you
it gives you these 4 items you need to put on
oh the coffer
let me look
i did go to 3 different places and i thought it was the vigil gears i picked up
you gotta read the text, man
there was not coffer but it was the blue gears instead of vigil
btw thx which you got me to second look

if i have ff14 from steam can i buy the complete edition from square enix website and not have to start over or?
No.
Hey yall, quick question. Is there a website I can preview all weapon glamours?
i feel stupid now for buying it on steam when all the dlcs and game is only 23$ on there
Hi, since earlier today I've been getting this error
Tried around 500 different things but still unable to fix it
If you have a steam account that's stuck with steam
Windows is SE store
you can go to #kupo-bot-spam and type !itemglam followed by any weapon name
sadly no but if you're on PC you can downlaod a third party tool that lets you model swap in real time client side so you can test it out yourself
Ah okay, thought there was an Eorzea Collection-like site but for weapon glams, ah well
eh it happens. at least you got the little steam timer. and have a connection to the steam wallet. but I feel for you
sadly no
Whelp, good thing I did miss that duty pop earlier, turns out I forgot to accept the weekly quest to get gold coins. <_<
to be clear this is the questions and helps channel so you may find it better to direct this to #beginner-lounge or #general-discussion
What do the ShB S ranks give when you kill them?
a bit over double rewards from an A rank
What do ShB A ranks give then >_>
40 nuts, 30 poetics, 20 allegory, and 20 revelation
What
40 Nuts
Oh that reminds me is there a quest somewhere that I have to do in order to participate in hunts/hunt trains?
is there a faster way to mine? collecting 99 of x materials is becoming tedious
am i screwed? I can't buy the game. i tried but it keeps saying that my user information is invalid and i don't know what that means
If you're lazy, just get retainers to gather for you
wrong password or username
For the atma grind for the relic weapon, how long does it take to get 12 Atmas necessary for one weapon?
Thank you!
question about 5.x quest: ||do i kill the blue or red butterflies when fighting lunar ravana?||
I think both?
Use ||Break||
That will stop them from moving
i did but I still lost
doesn't help that I'm learning controller at the same time. sigh.
targeting is just miserable
But yeah, I think you just spam ||Break|| and heal the thing in the center
so i started ff14 on steam but just realized i can get it on the website with all the dlcs for wayy cheaper so i decided to switch to square enix before i got to far
bought the complete edition and downloaded the launcher but now says my account that i used to buy the game isnt valid
like it wont let me login on the launcher at all but i can login to the website just fine
howmany more hours for maintance?
on controller, legacy, every once in awhile when im running backwards my character randomly walks, anyone know the issue?
is there a way to get the head gear of the people in Gyr Abania, the little like hood with the ears
screenshot?
this im assuming
Are you pressing Lb/l1
@fading helm
he meant to @fading helm
oh cool how do i get it?
that looks like the pvp caster hood
Smh hitch was only supposed to be pinged for this
So you're trying to log into the square enix launcher with a steam account?
im not pressing anyting @obsidian garden
does anybody know where you can buy the purple currant dye besides the marketboard
agh of course its only for mages
Weird
when im rotating on fights sometimes ill randomly start walking and it gets me killed
It's originally the PVP caster hood i think they just repurposed it for NPCs
oh so its not even avaiable at all anymore
How get I get bowl of embers hard mode unlocked?
im just saying they took the model and used it for the npcs
Yup
they changed that after HW?
I think after Stormblood. I have vague memories of them still being separate during SB when I played a SCH
Will I be fine to use duty finder for the shadowbringers main story content?
You can use it just fine
what about the patch content?
yea
Yup
Trust system is just for flavour if you want to run with the story characters.
Trusts are just for going at your own pace, and/or learning the dungeon in a safe environment
NPCs wont run it as fast as a full party of players
wh
why didnt i know that
i had to put up with the main story characters and that shit took FOREVER
i just wanted to burn it XD
is there any significant character development in trusts or just little throwaway lines?
whats the easiest relic weapon to get from ARR-HW that cant be bought from the market board?
they have their own comments from time to time
Ok just gotta ask, still new and going through the st ory but wanted to ask when I can get level 50 gear
you cant buy relics from the MB
Honestly, it's just for fun. Some of the banter between the NPC's is amusing. Thancred's puns are groan worthy though
@leaden ginkgo hmm on second thought I do hate puns
upon completion of the main 2.0 MSQ

Ahh alright. ALmost there then. Just got 20 quests left. Was just wondering since already level 52 XD
howlong for maintance?
Anyone knows where to find Nedrick Ironheart to unlock the halatali dungeon?
What do you guys recommend for my 3 specialist gems for Disciple of the Hand?
(most useful to have)?
culinarian and alchemist if you want to craft foods
and potions
you'll use them the most for those purposes
its relatively easy to switch these days so it doesnt really mater
What are specialist gems?
its like a job stone for crafters
But you choose what it goes to?
When do you come across em
What totems are these?
would be post 50
And how do I get them
Im maining a warrior at level 73, if I do a quest and then swap to an alt job before turning in a shadowbringers story quest will the alt job get the 920k my warrior does? Or is it scaled?
looks like tomestones of allegory
lvl 80 content or roulettes
or hunts
nope
Eulmore is an endgame hub rather than a main city

like Idyllshire and Rhalgr's Reach
Do I have to do any quest(s) to be able to join in SB/ShB hunt trains?
how am I supposed to get to gangos?
!faq hunts
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
I believe you'll need the unlock in order to spend sacks of nuts
You can teleport there via aethernet from the Doman Enclave
Idk where the doman enclave is
or run to the Doman Enclave docks and there's a ferryman who'll take you

Ok thanks alot
I dont see it in the list either
game related questions yes

can include stuff about accounts or billing or buying the game too
@jade quartzI haven't got the game yet but I am thinking about it, wanted to ask about that
@jade quartz I’ve done that quest but didn’t get the duty
usually they arrive very quickly after char creation
though server congestion may slow it down
you need to do the follow up quests
!quest ifrit bleeds, we can kill it
