No
I have midgardsormr
ah ok..
Midgard does that. He perches when he wants to
A lot of minions don't
He ignores your commands because he's the dragon dad
Midgard does his own thing
only some
Nanamo will
sometimes he sits on me but beckon isn't doing anything
Other wind up dragon hatchlings will perch with beckon, like ohl deeh
yeah, my koala just climb on my shoulder or on lalafel's head when I idle long enough...
I'm tired of being bad at this game for having a godawful hud so I've been working on fixing my HUD (sorry to those who i singlehandedly wiped in the SHB extreme dungeon). I want to know how to copy a hotbar + button in HUD. EX if I have fire on hotbar 1 AND 4, i want both 1 and 4 to say "press 1 to cast fire"
I have him out always
!brionac
dang I really like having my dragon daddy on my shoulder
Btw, how do you get the big dragon mount? it looks so cool
I think his minion description even mentions it
can someone link Brionac spear
Which big dragon mount
The big mechanical dragon?
There's a lot of big dragon mounts
Collect all ShB EX mounts
wanted to see if it has the dye icon or not
brionac or whatever the name is the one from centurio seals
Is there any gear you unlock that looks similar to gaius and the other imperial baddies? Their looks are so cool, gives me warframe vibes
No uhh the big dragon moun that isn't mechanical, but has 4 legs and wings
Rathalos?
not the bipedal one
does it have a saddle on its back?
yea
post ARR MSQ
ahh
without spoiling anything
nice so I won't have to farm for it then
If it's the mount I'm thinking of you're one expansion behind
..You right I forgot.
so are the ARR primal mounts a one off thing with the way they're designed as rare drops?
Wym "one off"
well I've heard more recently they don't have mounts drop from bosses, you instead get tokens you can trade for rewards
so it's guaranteed rather than random
You're talking about || Midgardsormr || right
I'm afraid to see that black text
How do I become a whm?
Don't
oh
I'm lvl 30 and did all conjures quests
Don't clikc
the tokens are insurance in case you're like me and you roll 3 for need on mounts. GENERALLY speaking you're expected to get it within 5 failed Need rolls BEFORE you get enough tokens to pay
oh well I know that character already
you need to do the next quest giver who gives the whitemage job and then you'll receive a soul crystal irrc
yeah that's what I wanted to know
I dont see it
I mean are there a ton of low drop chance mounts that I have to farm if I want to get them?
WoW had like Invincible and stuff
1% if you do it now
Mounts are usually 15% ™️ (My experience with HW and ARR mount farms)
the current expansions a tad bit rarer but they recently amde a patch
can I solo the extreme primals and get their mounts?
You can, if you can pull it off.
I mean unsynced? Or I guess that doesn't work
people tend to farm mounts unsync'd with at least 3 lv80 players
depending on the expansion. I can solo ARR's reliably.
is it like if it's synced it's 100% drop or 15% unsynced?
wouldn't know. Never done sync'd because i'm awful at this game. I'm speaking from experience for unsync'd mount farms
same drop both normal and undersized
I personally found my BLU mage spells pretty easy to get unsynced, people told me it would be low drop chance
always first try almost everytime
Could i transfer my steam account that has standard edition to the square enix for the sale ?
yeah, few important ones from lv 50 primals are low chance afaik..
so is there no incentive to syncing if you can unsync?
I don't THINK so. I heard players say it's a higher chance
but nobody can prove it.
no yeah
ah nobody can prove it cause we have no stats
I can only confirm from my own experience that its a 15% drop rate (my calculation from ~ 140 runs of numerous EX runs)
that's like titan, ramuh, garuda and shiva
I'd like to learn about the math there
no mount drop, so it's defo not 100%
I'm going to do a bunch of blue quest markers so I unlock everything
i added all my tokens i have from my mount farms and divided by number of mount rolls i failed + 1
140 is certainly a low number.
I really want the marble lion mount you get by trading nuts
don't know where the nuts come from
ain't workin toward the mount standing here 🙂
that should come naturally if you cap your revelation weekly
lodestone/wiki is your friend
I'm unlocking my stuff
nuts is very easy to come by.. nowadays I trade nuts for materias..
is the model less poly than the enemy model?
With equal gear and levels, does a GNB deal more dps than a PLD? Kind of feels like it since the damage rotation abilities have higher potency
more like player skills
the bigger factor
CP better or control better? Is the below true: CP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Control > Craftsmanship
afaik all important... you need to reach certain control and craftmanship to meet the requirements
you also need enough CP to do all the required rotation
all important. Primarily you'll want crafts/control and then CP though
Can you eat foods to provide both cp control craftsman?
Like eat a cp food and eat a craftsman food?
So have both cp and rafts man bonus
Only one food effect can be active
the food that people use these days is chili crab I think..
Most of the time you eat the biggest CP food you can, unless you need a large amount of craftsmanship or Control
What do I do with company flame seals
Spend them at the flames grand company on promotions or items
how to check in game ping?
is there anything good I can get?

!item chili crab
Anyone have any advice on macros for scholars?
*A whole blue crab braised in its shell in a piquant sauce, which takes on a rich shellfish flavor in the course of cooking.
EXP Bonus: +3% Duration: 30m
(Duration can be extended to 60m by consuming multiple servings)*
21% [57] (26% [72] HQ)
5% [56] (6% [70] HQ)
i totally forgot about that 🤦♂️
Hi I'm a new player and I wanted to know what i have access and don't have access to on the free trial?
Only to place down Sacred Soil, IMO
Whats the macro if you dont mind me asking
Can this game be mapped to an Xbox style controller on PC naivety, or do I need to get an emulator? I was going to play around with something.
An example macro for ground-based target stuff would be this.
/ac "Asylum" <t>
/ac "Asylum"
/micon "Asylum"
/ac "Sacred Soil" <t>
/ac "Sacred Soil"
/micon "Sacred Soil"
You can’t.
ty
oh rly? 😦
Hey, I haven't played in years. I have Realm Reborn and Heavensward on my account. Can I just buy the FFXIV Complete edition since it's cheaper than buying the two expansion I'm missing? Do they just give me codes?
no
marketboard.. but you can run 18 hours retainer mission to get that allagan money bag..
@dusty jungle Oh thank you!
you must buy shadowbringers and only shadowbringers
i have free trial and reached gold cap
Thanks how can I buy chili crab is it expensive?
idk what to do with gil :d
marketboard
ah yeah, let it go I guess
unless you want to buy the complete edition now (right now it's 60% sale)
i mean that's all you'll need for the rest of the expansion
Any too vendor food
Controller support is built in
if you are still leveling, blood bouillabaisse should be enough..
at least for me, I only used bb till lv 80 for all my crafters
that's the budget food after chilli crab
Good to know. Some programs get a little weird about Xbox or PS style controllers at times. Thank you! Castle crashers was one such game that I had to use an emulator to run my old playstation style controller.
Can bouillabaisse be bought in vendor?
yeah, but non HQ.. might be more expensive to buy the non-HQ one afaik
Is it possible to CLick to Move?
like runescape? no
I can't right click to move to an area?
some gaming mouse including my g600 walk forward if you press both left and right click...
I never touched runescape so no idea how that works
there's auto walk if thats what you're looking for
I has question
There isn't pathfinding afaik
I hit 62 SAM
Na, click to move, for easier moving out of telegraph areas
no
And my Kenki generation went from 'use on Midare only' to 'more Kenki than you can spend'
alright
That's what pathfinding is, love
What do I spend all this Kenki on 
i forgot the skill name lol...
!action Hissatsu: Shinten
it's red coloured
!action Hissatsu: Kyuten
Use these as needed to not overcap
sorry want to ask ,if my account like this ,can i buy the game from eu store or should be UK store only?
Eu store
so Uk store has different key?
no, it's EU and other regions
UK is under EU
UK store priced in GBP, that's the difference only...
you guys are still under EU region
hi! what are some efficient ways to farm memories of the dying?
oh ic ,thank you for the answer really appreciate it
i've been getting some in bozja but the drop rate doesnt seem much
i have a friend who has the steam starter edition of the game, if they were to buy the complete edition off the sqenix store, would they have to fully redownload the game off the regular launcher?
and reprog the game
no, same install location
but could they just play through steam, or would they need to pay through the regular launcher?
tysm
You could also do fates but do you really wanna do 60 fates if you mean the 20 memories each 
oh, they'll have to buy the game off steam
I really don't want to
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
you can't get off steam once you're on steam
I did it and it was a horrible decision
oh god no

that sounds like pain cuz of level sync
See that's me with bozja 
but glorious weapon glam
I always found blue mages to pal around with running the fates. We blew them up so fast it was over in no time
So if I started my trial account through Steam did I basically screw myself on getting a cheaper code?
steam has sales too, but not as often...
but yeah, if you want to buy it now
the SE store one has 60% Sale
How fast can I get the unfinished gae bolg in ARR?
if you dont have a credit/debit card, steam version is the way to go for future payment on expansions
I believe it's the base relic weapon for DRG
The books will drive you mad, but a couple of days if you're really determined
*assuming you're level 80
^
So what are all the big money sinks in this game?
if you're level 50-60 it'll take significantly longer
Im lvl 50 😅
I know housing is one of them
So is the game on sale rn or smth?
What do I do with extra field notes?
Toss em
this one is for first version of gae bolg https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Relic_Weapons/Quest
Do I need to be in free company to obtain a house?
Thx ^^
there is a 50m mount for you to sink gil … and others 5 ~ 10m ones too
@patent citrus thanks!
is the arr relic the fastest to grind for?
the longest
oh
the most horrible
it has the least dialogue... and the most grindy...
which is the shortest then?
SHB should be
either anima or bozja
but like, even if theyd buy the complete edition, theyd have to restart on a new service account?
Where exactly?
or yeah, if you have poetics gathered up or currently leveling a new char
Resistance Historian
Last time I suggested the lockboxes I got laughed at and ridiculed. Which is why I didn't bother tbh
Ty
Well it's like, either a small chance at a mount worth 300k~ or some other stuff worth some money.
Or just.. nothing
I know what option I'd laugh at
So if I want to upgrade from trial to steam shadowbringers just buy it on steam then?
is there an artifact weapon for lvl 80 as well?
@maiden copper dont think they do
yeah, if you prefer steam then that's your route
yes; called resistance weapon

Not that I prefer, it's that I have to cause I leveled my char to 50 on steam trial
Like a dumb dumb
Shadowbringers relic, 535 ilvl, Resistance Weapon
oh right yeah... you have no other way if you are not willing to remake your account
Wrong reply sorry
I see does it has the same amount of grind as the ARR ? because I did the one from ARR back in the day and just recently came back into the game
the lv 80 one is quite easy.. compared to the ARR one..
Took me 2 days to get shadowbringers relic, although it was about 20 hours non-stop and lucky drops on some of the tasks that have 25% drop rate
I see

So when is the sale til?
it starts there
Thanks! yeah I mean I did ARR with np if that is easier then np at all
But like 60 percent off they are literally blessong us
idk, but if you play on PC
I would suggest to buy them now
and apply code later
Apply code?
it won't activate until you apply the code you get to the mogstation
Ah so how does this work
yeah, you get a code from the store when you purchase the complete edition
So i buy i get a code
and you can keep that code until you are ready, by then your game won't activate (stays in free trial)
yeah
If i dont actitvate it it wont start the sub?
yep it won't. Also if you activates from free trial, you will also get 30 days free sub time
before you have to pay for your first 30 days
reminder to login to the store with your mogstation account
so you won't have to keep 2 seperate accounts, 1 for the store and 1 for the mogstation
Anyone here (not a free trail user) on Light data center? I have a question and I need a help with something. Hard to explain there. Please PM (or voice call would be better). Thanks.
Just be sure its this correct?
Okay much appreciate
last question, due to amazon being out, other than the sqenix store is there a place to buy time cards?
what are the best materia for WHM to meld?
What are time cards

am i doing something wrong?
not sure what you are trying to do here... the targeting is all over the place...
That as well
but yeah, macro will jank regardless
@patent citrus i redeem here after rightM
You've got three different targeting methods set and I'm pretty sure that fourth line doesn't do anything at all
trying to have targeting by mousing over and targeting my just selecting a target
But also mouseover macros and combat macros in general are intentionally designed to be shit tier
Stop, do not pass go
hmm so i have to use the default and the macro
Never macro a gcd
Don't use it at all
Delete the macro

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

ah bummer it was helping me out a bit with targeting allies
Meant like thats where i redeem my ode @patent citrus ?
and then you enter that here
i mean i save a few seconds but still
Click the party list.
Any one know show long the discount will last?
Okay thanks
Click the party list
i do but its kinda nice having that mouse over
The seconds you lose from that macro not working are far more than the seconds you save when it does
Please don’t
Only combat macros people are actually somewhat okay to use for consistency are:
- Holmgang on warrior
- Aetherial Manipulation
Ground targets and utility ogcds
- Asylum/Sacred Soil/Earthly Star if you're lazy
Either way, never a gcd
Wait I can macro Asylum?
To place it in the ground under a target, yeah

Hey so I put off the game for a while now after reaching lvl around 50 on the trial and I wanted to come back, but for some reason when I watched gameplays and stuff the game doesn’t really seem that fun, though everyone says it’s their favourite game, I don’t understand the appeal that much. I played dark mage btw
Can I disable Shoha’s ready noise?
dark mage
Could you elaborate
well defo not the game for everyone
So I just did the level 50 job quest for my warrior and got a warrior’s armour coffer. What’s the point of it? I got the armour pieces from the job quests already
click the recommended gear button
Black Mage*
Also, it depends what you're into, personally I'm a savage/ultimate raider and I can confirm end-game optimization is through the roof on some jobs and is hella fun for me
Some like role-playing
Some like socializing
Some like crafting
Some like grinding
This game has something for everyone 
Why do i keep getting this message when i try to get the game like take my money fam
Different strokes for different folks. If you don't like something, you just don't.
when everyone play a game, doesn't mean you have to play that game too... that's just being basic...
Idk, I really enjoyed it in the beginning but I think I got bored of the combat? Because it was just constant rince repeat of fire fire dire, no mana, ice ice ice
So the level 45 pieces are all bad? Do I open the coffee and wear the gear from that one instead?
I am a Black Mage main just like you @iron spoke and believe me, the optimization you can do on this class is over the top in different fights 
The coffer you just got has a complete set of left side i90 armor
yeah BLM "starting to get interesting" when they reach lv 60 or 56
The armor you currently have on is four pieces of i50 armor with no chest piece or belt
If you're committed, try a different job for a bit. Find something that clicks with you.
@iron spoke yo dont want to front but like why your profile like you a school shooter
but then it's my personal "OPINION"
Be stronk
you might not like it
And it says dont come to school
Gotcha
Did it on purpose lmao
Its jokes 😂
What are the drop rates for the mounts in the ARR extreme trials? I've ran leviathan 11 times now and nothing
It says don’t come to school tmr in small letter lmao
😂😂😂
20% ish afaik...
It drops often enough
Not for me lol
That is because of the job you picked, BLM stays like this as a base line, but you start getting some really cool skills later on that deal a crap load of damage
If you don't like the combat, play another class, it's free and you can have all of them on a single character 
Wdym by optimization? Also I think maybe I just got lonely or overwhelmed and confused by ui
Ooh
repair your gear
^
as long as you enjoy it
You right, ty for advice friends
What's the secondary stat priority for WHM?
UI is subjective, you can make it look how you want, this is mine for example, just use whatever is comfortable for you
And by optimization, I mean that there's specific fights where you use specific buffs at specific times, with really hard mechanics called "Savage" or "Ultimate" fights
Imagine this: Atm dungeons are like "DPS this boss"
Later on, it's "DPS this boss, while properly doing your full rotation, while dodging AoEs, reading boss animations, correctly time your movement to the mechanics, as well as work together with 7 other people in your group, because if 1 person messes up by 1 centimetre, you all die"
comfy piety
how do u get the job icon?
type /? micon
Comfy piety > CH > DH > DET
Keep in mind stat tiers though, I suggest looking at a bis list from the balance 
this game wont let me buy
Why is the White Mage level 70 package a best seller on Mogstation? Is it just because leveling WHM sucks?
it should give you the format to put job icon to your macro
Duude you weren’t kidding @dire prawn
or you can use /gearset and drag the set to your hot bar
I’m definitely more stronk now
ok thanks
What if I get a finger cramp and fall off my chair mid fight and also get brain failure from trying to memorize the alternations :-;.
Hello. I just cleared extreme versions of shiva, mog king, leviathan synced via duty finder. Shiva is quite tough, but mog and levi are quite easy. I was nervous in trying extremes since i kept failing titan and ramuh previously. How do ifrit, bismarck, ravana compare to the three I've just cleared?
Your whole party wipes
That's savage/ultimate fights
There's also casual content however
All of the job boosts appear as best sellers
And no leveling WHM does not suck
Maybe I’ll just decorate a house for 200 hrs idk
You can fish, gather, craft, socialize, role-play etc
I leveled it from 1 to 80 as my starter job
leveling alt isn't everyone cup of tea...
even as healer/tank, it's still grindy
have to spam dungeons/potd
it's not exactly as fast as doing MSQ as well
Is there an option to disable SAM’s ready sound?
anybody getting this when purchasing
just repetitive dungeon spam
Did somebody say instant queue times?
Alr well I’ll give it another shot, since I recently won a giveaway for the full dlc pack. But unfortunately I don’t have the 30 day trial anymore :/
Bump
Also, crafting in this game isn't a press 1 button type of thing, you have actual crafting skills, same for gathering
totally different thing... when you reached lv 60, you'll get different skills
And disable skill not ready sound?
but if you ask, all extremes are around the same level of difficulties
That's fine I've reached stormblood
I'm aware of ability differences
Ok. Because titan and ramuh were very difficult in my tries
Is there any use for the i50 gear since I have the i90 gear @dire prawn ? Or does it just get thrown away now
Me confused, what are those…
after extreme, unreal should be next, then savage
You can toss it
Another quick question about the level boosts
I've unlocked savages
Crafting skills
Some increase quality, some increase progress, some are buffs etc
The i90 gear is the same as the i50 gear but a different color
But i don't think I've seen unreal
unreal is lv 80 stuffs, currently it's leviathan fight sync'd to lv 80
Is it better to avoid boosting the expansion-specific jobs bc they start at a higher level?
I just bought the Complete edition of FFIV. How long can I wait before activating it? (I want to use the free trial some more)
This feels like me trying to understand things in path of exile all over again ;-;
Yes
the lingo is faux hollow
Do I need to wait 90 days before I can transfer from Odin to Phoenix for example?
@humble mason throw it in the armoire. It's the only job gear you can keep inside. If you like the looks of this set, the ilvl 50 is the only version you can augment and dye
The game is huge, find something you like and enjoy it 
I don't do housing/socializing/fishing/whatever for example
I only raid + craft + gather ;P
Armoire has unlimited space so theres no loss throwing them inside at all
Any advice on what to spend storm seals on?
You mean leviathan fight has another more difficult version in ShB?
Ah okiedokie! Btw What’s the level cap again btw before I have to get a sub ?
What’s the armoire?
Some even like spending hours just making a cool looking glamour for their character
You can access in the inn room
kinda, it's the same fight just sync'd to lv 80
Keeps certain items like ilvl 50 jib gear and event items
Ooh ic
Glamour Prisms or coke
if you made the char when the world was preferred yes
Thanks. My earlier victory gave me more confidence to tackle the others
Sheesh thats cool
ty
Maybe except titan..
Bombard cores for ARR relic 
Black Mage 
Is it available on free trial?
is there anything in there for heaven reborn relics?
imean
Preferred?
fk the expac after arr
Kinda hyping me up 0_0 I’m broke tho so once trial ends my life ends too
Umm, does anyone know how to turn off certain sound effect?
HeavensSword*
Oh yes this I can confirm. Spent more time and resources than I thought I would glamming
There are servers with preferred icon. Gives you 2x exp up to lvl 70 per class
Free trial is limitless, no?
@delicate iron not really with seals. HW relics are mostly poetics
Yeah but once I reach lvl60 right
How can I check that tho?
Guys where can I search for a raid group? Can't find a channel on this discord.
If I selected it
You can still play it
@humble mason yes definitely. At your current progress you should be only able to access from any inn room
Duration wise, yes. But there's a level cap of 60, gil cap of 300k
And you can't progress after heavensward
You can access from squadron barracks once you've profess grand company enough
Yeah, that’s what I meant.
if you got the exp buff road to 70 you made your character on a preferred world
Same happened to me, bought the game 2 years ago, only had sub for 5 months out of 24
You can always take a break and save up money, or wait for the next big expansion to play it 
Preferred world also gives you 10 silver feathers
How do I check tho if I did?
@patent citrus do i leave it like this or do i unlock the key? Does unlockimg mean activating?
This can br exchanged with ultimate equipments of lvl 50/60/70
Instructions
if you unlock, it just means you won't be able to refund
afaik
Okay thanks
login ingame and see if you have the buff
Bet! I just feel bad for winning this all dlc bundle and not being able to use it
I mean, next expansion coming on 23rd November anyway, so you'll have to buy that one 
@hot eagle is this where buff would show up?
yeah, currently all NA and EU region don't have preferred server
cause of player influx
1 Expansion lasts 2 years more or less
So every 2 years you buy the new expansion + monthly sub
Got it, so I can transfer
!buff the road to 70
This buff lasts 90 days btw
Once I reach 60 on blm what do I do then? Change classes and max out the others ?
Yes. You dont have it.
Yes you can do that as well
My friend does that
@iron spoke basically yes if you want to maximise free trial
Or until your server is no longer preferred, whichever would last longer
I have a friend whose probably a year kn free trial
I don't really enjoy grinding that much, so i activated when i reached lvl 60
Going for everything available on the free trial
Lol my friend is doing exactly that
If you want to, yeah 
Save up some money in the meanwhile to get a sub, and then just play through the story on your black mage/whatever class you liked the most again
Which honestly, if you rraaaaaly want to 100% free trial. 1000 hours is easily reached
Well depends on the criteria of 100%
You got to farm for everything yourself since you can access marketboard
If yellow quests are included then yeah..
Kk, just hope I don’t get burnt out lmao
Yellow quests are A LOT
Or I could go touch some grass 😄
Then other stuff I mentioned takes much longer haha
Some minions involve gardening
Which takes days
Though probably adds some immersion to the npc's lives
If you really set your mind to it
You can probably clear all the yellows in a few days
Assuming you dont play crazy hours
I tried to do yellow ones and got burnt out very fast
Yea most of them are just
Guess it's not my cup of tea
Probably much better if done after you can fly
I did them very early without mounts
Had to use chocobo riders
I gave up in Hw
Haha
One day I'll go back to them
I do like to clear side quests
But they're time consuming, considering all the other "high priority" stuff I need to do
And I dont play a lot every day
Oh btw. How difficult is final coil if bahamut compared to extreme primals?
guys, I am level 37 warrior and following the MSQ plus having fun, my question is: is it important/useful to run dungeons for gear at this points? e.g. I want to do
The Sunken Temple of Qarn, so I do it only once to see the content enjoy the fight etc, or should/could I do more times to get warrior gear?
Havent tried synced
I did 1st and 2nd coils unsynced with my friends, and turn 9 was soooo tough
My static only cleared binding coils synced
But then i saw people playing sync on YouTube vs the final boss it looks damn awesome
We plan to head into second coils only after we finish all the Arr extremes synced
Unsync just killed all satisfaction
Definitely try synced if you have the time
shouldn't grind for anything, as long as you done all your MSQ/Job Quest, need and greed all the stuffs you found on the dungeon
Min ilvl and no echo if your maso enough
We havent tried anything with min ilvl no echo too
We dont get to play every week now due to irl schedules
So we just want to close them priepr
just pull slowly like 1-2 group at the time for ARR content since there are trap mechanics and everyone don't have their AoE yet @formal valley
And i play in jp server so we have japanese speaking members very often
Yea I'm in elemental too
Difficult to coordinate
that is what I am doing, so I shouldn't run The Sunken Temple of Qarn multiple times?
woot i am officially a white mage
I wouldn't.. but do as you see fit..
@silver mesa congrats
If you feel like grinding the dungeon, you can.
thanks
You grind for alt jobs mostly
I'm like 5 levels ahead of MSQ at 50
Your main job will be sufficiently levelled and most of the time over levelled even if you just do msq
Very normal
Early levels I was like 10
I started to play yesterday, so I am learning a lot and there is a lot to grasp
Rested xp definitely played a part
If you only level 1 job you'll cap fairly quickly
Well I'm about to switch to samurai so I'm hoping the grind isn't too bad
took me 23 hours and 6 minutes to get here
take boat from aleport afaik
idk if you can access them from limsa
yeah follow the dotted line
Click on the nearest exit/entrance
it should connect from island to island
Yea something like that
dotted line is the boat you can take
Wolves' Den boat is actually in Moraby Drydocks
Do items bought from online store get delayed? Haven't gotten my item yet
yeah
🙏🏻🙏🏻
i just ordered a mount from mogstation but it hasnt arrived yet? how long does it usually take to process?
damn i dont have it unlocke
afaik 24 hours max... but usually instant
trying to get 200 points to get the chocobo mount for grand company
does it take awhile to earn that much?
i ordered a costume set before and it took about 5-10 mins
but 10mins have past and it hasnt arrived
next quest will give you 200
no need to grind anything
i checked the transaction log and i bought it into my account so is there like an issue with the processs?
where do i get various dyes, i only get dyes from the gold saucer girl
Marketboard
Unless you're on free trial
i have a sub, i guess i will check market.
also in terms of fps, whenever i play borderless windowed it always caps out at ~80-90fps but at times it bumps up to 120fps how do i keep it consistent like that
Upgrade rig lol
close all background program
I find fullscreen to be best for fps
downside is the tabbing out or even just clicking on your other monitors can mess with it
even if i run at fullscreen it maintains the same fps values
but borderless is usually like that, since you share the resources to all the prog you are running
ah i keep discord/spotify/chrome in the background unfortunately
Chrome eats ram
but yeah, smoother alt-tabbing if you run borderless window
Discord Spotify shld be fine
i wouldn't worry as long as it's not under 60 fps
Yea
i do notice the jump from 90 and 120-144
ah yea i run a 144hz monitor
Btw question. Does the ||sky pirate|| sidequest chain in HW has any relation to past games?
I can't remember any
So far i really enjoy ||ivalice and omega|| quests in SB because of nostalgia and cameos
Fighting ||agrias, TGC, phantom train|| are not something i expected
idk, I only remember sky pirate stuff is from FFXII revenant wings (NDS game)
I haven't played all FF games
Yeah but seems none of the chars recur from it
I'm not sure if this channel is the right channel to ask
Oh
#archived-lore-spoilers or #general-discussion might be a better channel
There’s a few bosses in the Mhach questline from other FF games
Is there a discord for Treasure Maps?
Housing question: is there any way to put things on top of the half-partitions?
i bought the songbird emote, when should i expect it to arrive? 
Standard is within a few hours, although given the current capacity issues, I'd probably give them up to 24.

according to wiki I only need stormblood and level 50 to start samurai, is that accurate?
Or do I need to finish ARR MSQ as well?
Hi may I know which channel to join FC?
accurate
thanks!
try a #recruitment channel for your Data center
hey how does a guy get their hyur to look like this in character creation? Ive been playing with it for a while now but hyur always looks whack https://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/f/601ddd1772ddc2bab0cc817892310144_c33f640c0cdd35f7def85b8aa31a0007fl0_640x873.jpg?1627115964&_ga=2.118502217.1574593709.1626727454-1281909075.1626727454

Hello
Does pld skill cover and hallowed ground work together?
That’s pretty close to default man with hair turned blond
Does bozja give poetics?
i can finally play the game lol
How do you increase the attributes of your squadron? They are almost level 50 but still cant reach the required attributes for level 40 squadron missions
How to check on MB which items sell well? I am alchemist looking to sell crafted stuff thx
You can reallocate stat distributions with training. You shouldn’t be having trouble meeting the requirements at that level
If you’ve never trained them then you’ll be missing the training stats
Do I have to go to somebody specifically to put Materia on my gear?
Hiya! Is it worth doing the ShB dungeons with the npcs for story reasons? I actually like playing with others and hate the squadrons in ARR but if it's worth it for story I'll do it.
You don't need to.
There is always a material melder near the marketboard, so find him and meld the materias. And ofc, since you were doing with npc, you need to pay some gil
Gotcha! Thank you!
Also Ah... is the random Duty Finder thing the best way to grind for Levels?
I figured they would be, yeah 🤣 but if they add meaningful story I'll do it.
There's unique dialogue and an achievement for levelling them all up
People usually use npc becoz, their queueing time is too slow and they went for pain. Like i mean, for msq!
So I’m watching people raid,how does it work for the loot at the end is it first come first serve
Hmm, I might try it once then and see how it goes, thanks 😄
Does anyone know if rampart and shadow wall (drk mitigation) stack? I’m asking cuz I’m trying to tank the first TB in e12s without using invul so I can save invul for the second TB
Or there is a loot rule,
Normal, Greed, loot master like that
Loot master rule can decide who to give what items.
Yes, loot rule is always shown before we got into raid.
If it is not shown, the party leader can secretly cheat and got all items by himself.
Big oof
So there would be no point taking like a decent bow if you wasn’t learning that skill
That depends on you
when should i start worring about gear ?
I suppose people will greed regardless for gil
Good question @leaden ginkgo
I’m guessing when your getting to raid level
How many level 80 ppl unsynced would I need to farm the lanner mounts ?
Would the Welkin hat be considered artifact armor?
2 or 3 is enough, if u wanna fast prog, 3 is better
california
ok thanks
We can't. I tried xD
May i see ur quest?
it is a relic reborn
i am to retrive a weapon from these mines
Though when checking the coordinatesw
i belive it might just have pointed to the entrance of the mine in general
If, you were collecting 9 books,
Just wander around the mine
I did like that in PAIN
from the screen go a lil bit north should be in the smal room in the middle
Is therer a way to turn off a skill sound effect? Just one
I’m not a fan of SAM’s Shoha ready sound effect
no
Noooo
That sound effect is too “sharp”
Not an option then. On PS4
😦
you can turn down sound effects though
do mats for crafting need to be in MY inventory or can they be in chocobos saddlebag too?
inventory afaik
although I never tried it on my saddlebag..
Ik. Just that sound is quiet annoying
I can turn off Skill not yet ready sound right?
is the golden saucer campaign w/ discount npc a yearly thing?
yeah
cool, thanks
You need to have required craft items in your inventory
here? @hot eagle

vendors in main cities should sell those
i will try to find it
29 votes and 14 comments so far on Reddit
Thanks!
don't think that's what you want though
Also. Is there a npc that sells food with exp bonus?
I want that too tho
any food gives 3% exp bonus, boiled egg is pretty popular
you can find vendors in main cities for that
Ah thanks again!

It says !Mudfish
!mudfish only works in the balance discord
with one of their bots
since they're the one that made that faq
can you macro waymarks?
cos i see people putting all waymarks at once instead of one by one
you can save waymarks
how do u do that on PS4
for someone playing from oce region to NA's primal server would mudfish be worth using or another vpn be better?
there needs to be an existing waymark placed in that area before you can save it
how do i do it
do i need to be in the instance you save waymarks
yep
yes
yes
I'd just use mudfish. It's one of the better options, and is generally cheaper, especially if you're a more casual player.
how do i start the instance solo
dude ok i've been driving around this f*cking mountain for over 20 minutes trying to figure out where im supposed to go to continue my msq can anybody tell me where the f is the exit?
you can queue into it with undersized party
go back to atrix trine/aetheryte. there's a second floor frm the stairs. go there and not the top of the mountain
in the duty finder settings
its saying undersized party not allowed
gotcha i tried launching it and all and following the guide
do i need to put in credits for it to start working
yeah just make sure you buy it for specific game
do i also need to wait for this to config first?
u can't unsync shb stiff yet iirc
so it will charge you if you play that game
so how do i enter solo
and don't use it while you are patching
you might need to join a group and get their macros then :<
or get people in your fc to come with you so you can place it
how
PF
fuck pf
jesus christ ty i was about to loose it xD
❤️
ill try with fc
sure
i can get in with 2 people right? doesn't have to be 8?
lv 80 stuffs?
you can try
not sure if you can undersize and sync it...
fuck man
you can't undersize current expansion content
can't unsync lv 80 shadowbringers content until endwalker
afaik you can't undersize 5.0 stuffs
how do i get the macro any other way
i dont think there's any other way
PS4
yes
yes
just set up a PF and say you just want to set up marker positions
is there a command that you can type in to turn system messages on or off?
ask someone when you run one
they usually have it, but yeah language barrier might be a problem
people will join to help
pay them with gil 
not gonna take long anyway if its just a 1 minute thing
not my gil >:(
wont hurt to try anyway 
i need to get the blue dye for easy 80 fashion challenge but the sahagin vendor doesnt have it for me, ,did it sell out?
have you seen jp pfs?
marketboard
About to buy the complete game after playing free trial for a couple months (almost done HW, couple jobs at 60), besides continuing MSQ, what are things I should focus on doing that I wasn’t able to do on free trial?
oh wait ill just do farms with fcs and get macro then
no, im on EU
social stuffs probably.. FC, PF, Marketboard
also how do i set up this waymark thingy
you need to rank up to Friendly
just click on the one you want to use then place it
As an alternative you can use two black dyes for the gloves and boots instead of the shadow blue on the pants
so i select the already placed waymarks and put them on the slots accordingly?
Hey guys, whats the easiest way to get access to chocobo stables to change your chocobo color?
send me a ss
buy an apartment
oki thought so, thanks
join fc
idk how you make your own waymark using controller, I just copy someone else when I'm on practice run...
how do i copy
that's it?
press down dpad twice
huh
and click the arrow thing to expand the window
ya
the arrows by the save slot save too, i think
so i go into instance open up waymarks press on the arrow
go to any slots, square and select save? and it'll save whatever waymark is in the instance?
i c
or press left on dpad and click the + symbol
how do i double check to see if the vpn is actually working
i put in some credit
and restarted the connection but not too sure what should be different
!faq checkping
- Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
- Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
- Press enter
PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
compare it before mudfish on/off
also someone explain how to dodge helioclaw its like sometimes i can dodge and sometimes im getting hit. My ping is really high (200-300) ms so i need to move before others. sometimes i make it sometimes i just get hit. how do i not get hit?
i tried all the strats except the melee strat. but I've a feeling with my ping that melee strat is gonna be hard to pull off.
hi,are there 2x xp event for all character before?
should i first upgrade left or ride side of items while buying stuff?
weapon and then start from the lowest ilvl piece you have
there are no preferred worlds in NA/EU worlds currently. Only JP datacenters have them
if you made a character on a preferred world before it got changed to standard, you have 90 days from character creation to benefit from the preferred world buff
and yeah, 2x exp events aren't a thing
oh it last 90 days, good to know
which server is the lowest price wise, for certain beauty folios
uhh what was i supposed to type here again
/lookout /pray /sit
usually between those 3..
thanks
that's something you'd have to search up yourself. marketboard "sites" require plug-ins from players for them to be semi-accurate and can change often
Hi guys, I have a Palace of the Dead question
I reached floor 40, and now it says that I can't access it for minimum strength requirements
Did I miss something? Will this mean that I have to start over? 
ahh, thank you
use your 2nd save file to get more aetherpool levels
you need like 10/10 or 11/11 for floors 41-50
and then like 14/14 for 51-60
Floors 100+ don’t have Aetherpool requirements but it can only be done with a fixed party
It’s exactly the same, sounds like you’re just seeing it closer up
Some of the textures in the game are rough ngl
gotcha ill take another look at the settings maybe i dont have something maxed
ahh I c
Unlikely
well then its just msq lvl50 stuff maybe, just gotta... press on.... to hw
do i need to have the item for macro icon to work?
doesnt seem to work atm
/macroicon "Soul of the Black Mage" item
As I said, will still be rough, improved over arr but still limited by ps3

yes you need the item on your person for it to be usable as an icon
since tonight, I cant login to the game anymore. sometimes i cant connect to the datacenters, sometimes i can but when i select my character and the loading screen pops up, it disconnects me.
I changed my dns both ipv4 and ipv6, verified my gamefiles over steam (does FF XIV have a tool to verify ALL the files?) and did several router restarts. Im getting error 2002 and 90002
