i jusr started playing yesterday and it worked fine for a long time but now im lost.
i subscribed with the entry-subscription
That would just give a message saying you can’t queue anyway
im not on the free 14 days trial anymore. i can see the queue, it lets me in and then disconnects. sometimes it even disconnects me when i press play before i reach the datacenter
Anyway the culprit could be some local issue on your route to the servers, a solution could be trying a VPN like Mudfish
Hey guys. So i bought the complete Edition and wanna redeem the code. I dont find the place to redeen it tho, so i created a new Service Account and redeemed it in there. Now its tellin me that i do have the 30 Days but not the addons..... can anyone help ?
Could ask if anyone in #technology-discussion knows other solutions
internet connection is vwred and stable in other things.
aah i got a paid vpn. will try that. thanks 🙂
its all german but maybe u guys can see what i mean
You have everything
If you haven't, fully close the launcher and relaunch it
To trigger any downloads it needs
alright thanks
Hey fellow German:>
which gatherer job do i need as a alchemist?
mostly botanist, but miner too here and there
you also use monster drops a fair amount
im lvl 42 but - what am i supposed to do during fire 1 proc (firestarter), since it shares GCD? just wait?
no no
I mean when i use the f3 proc - its instant, no cast time, but still shares a gcd
what am i supposed to do during this gcd?
ye already felt that xD okay imma check out botanist than i think
Weave any off globals you want/need
or can you barely buy everything till lv 50 alch?
You'll get more later
aight thank you
Or move and resposition
!faq weaving
Yeah it’s an opportunity to move
how can you fly in ff14
!faq flying
!faq flight
'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/
Gottem
Well, one of us is going to have to change

so i need to have heavesnward to fly
Finish Arr for Arr flight
Then get aether currents in expansions zones
Tldr
Long story short is just do story
can i get somehow a better drop rate while farming monster drops like yarzon legs or smth?
And trial
Nope
Fun of monster drops
Mug on ninja
WOW
You can send retainers out to get specific mats if you levelled then
Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
Additional Effect: Increases the chance of additional items being dropped by target if Mug is dealt before, or as, the finishing blow
Additional Effect: Increases Ninki Gauge by 40
wait what where
Ventures
Combat retainers
Ninja’s mug increases drop chance on one mob every two minutes yeah
Completely useless and I do not recommend bothering
so what do you do with low level stuff/crafting mats? sell on the market or just straight vendor?
Check market price always
for raw mats or finished products?
You never know what's gonna be priced stupidly high
You can send a combat retainer to gather mob materials for you though
Anything you want to sell
Honestly, most of the time it’s not worth grinding mobs for materials yourself
Does anybody have fashion report to get 80 points for this week ?
fair enough, there a quick way to simple copy paste the lowest level price
Unless it’s high quality people probably won’t buy it on mb
Send retainer or check marketboard in multiple worlds for the best price
Thank you
ah, right multiple worlds
heard ultros is undercut central so thats prob a good idea
Undercutting are everywhere
whats the best way to lvl from 55-60? i have a lvl 60 nin but changed to sam and i want it to catch up
Dungeon spam
what do i need to do for that
Get a retainer
Potd if ques are 15mins+
in duty finder "50/60/70 dungeons" ?
No
That's shit
You do the highest levelling dungeon available
And levelling and alliance roulettes daily
Maybe msq if you wanna Netflix
ahhhhhh tyty
yeah MSQ is lvl 60
i just need a catch up
tyty
not played since 2018 😄
is there any best class for the retainer or is that wayne?
Unlock retainer ventures with the level 17 quest “an ill-conceived venture” in your starting city by the aetheryte
Then you can equip your retainer with a weapon or gathering tool to give them a class, and level them up by sending them on ventures to gather items for you
Not really, probably one combat, one miner/botanist
Combat job doesn't matter
They can’t exceed your current level for that class
Your retainer can't out level you on whatever job they are
anyone know how i can unlink a ps account or change it ?
So if your retainer is a blm and you're only a lv35 blm retainer level cap is 35 until you level blm some more
Afaik you can't
afaik?
you're in it for life fam
ok ty
okay and the one that cost 1 is fighting and "farming" a special thing and the one that costs 2 is for botanist/miner?
No
There's multiple types of ventures you can send them on, they cost is dependent on type.
Deals water damage with a potency of 600.
Additional Effect: Grants Suiton
Duration: 20s
Suiton Effect: Allows execution of actions which require the effect of Hidden, without being under that effect
Mudra Combination: Ten→Chi→Jin or Chi→Ten→Jin
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
Major problem, the Temple of the first dungeon does not show up whatsoever and I need it for the blue mage spell
oh so i need to refresh this before i do trick attack
fist*
i guess on the topic of retainers, do quick ventures gimme more exp than fetch-me-shit-in-50 minutes ventures?
Optional dungeon in Rhalgars reach
Iirc yes
optional dungeon
whats a quick way to raise item level? I think Castrum Meridianum is the first time ive really had to worry about it
could someone please check "account information" section in mogstation to see if they have anything on unlinking a ps account? because i forgot the date i had and cant access that section
do your job quests
Do your job quests
Do your lv50 job quest
got it
You get i90 gear
TRIPLE KILL
Hello
How much should I prioritise guild leves, they seem to pay out pretty well compared to regular quests?
And how important is crafting?
How does the point system from the fashion report in the gold saucer work? I can't yet get shadow blue dye
Leves are only good for crafting
For combat jobs: GARBAGE
Side quests are also garbage
!faq questicon
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
Hello, I have some questions for subscriptions and recruit a friend here. Say I bought the game and now have 30 days of free time. If I buy a 30 day subscription now. WIll it :
- Overwrite my days of free play or will the added time not be reduced untill days of free play are used up?
- Will I receive the friendship circlet straight away, or will I have to wait untill the subscription time is used?
Thank you all in advance
You'll lose your opportunity to be "recruited" in the recruit a friend campaign but you'll have 60 total days of sub
do you need to beat all 3 acts of masked carnivale to learn the snort from the typhon?
the road to becoming a viable crafter is slow, painful, and it may be very very expensive...
think of it like college but offering more practical skills..
I am still getting the hang of the job/class thing.
Are there non combat jobs?
Aren't they either DPS/Tank/Support?
Correct colour dye is +1, the right specific dye is +2
I'm already recruited and my friend already got the recruitment gift
Crafting and gathering are non combat
what about the friendship circlet? will I get it right away?
Then that should give the circlet soon ish, all servers are currently ablaze
diadem lazer beam says hi
absolutely humorless
That's not really combat
oh I haven't bought sub so no circlet for them yet
Ty Vinyl
Yeah
Thanks for the quick and concise answers Kat, appreciate it
Something that flew by me.
Limit breaks. The window popped up but the other players already pulled and I didn't get a chance to fully read it.
Essentially, a bar fills up and anyone in the party can trigger it and the ability will be based off of the player that used it.
What are the rules/guidelines for it?
Is it left usually to supports to heals? For damage to burst the boss when he is low?
Damage
Casters and ranged use it on trash pulls
Melees on bosses
Tanks only need mechanics REQUIRE it
Healers never unless it's limit break 3 to mass raise everyone
Yes
If the tank pulls big
Use it
Best use of limit break there
As a caster/range
Should I buy vendor gear while leveling or just take what the quests give me and roll with it?
Basically
Never
Only when starting a new job really
Cause vendor gear is fucking garbage....it's normal quality gwar and thus have lower stats than equal item level gear
It's "fine" under 50 but never use it post 50
!faq limitbreak
Is the ID we use to log in to Lodestone the same ID to log into the game?

@tight mango
If you follow the first link, at 2 or more enemies, caster/ranged lb becomes better
And usually I'd much prefer a caster/ranged dps cast it on a big pull than save it for boss
Caster deals more damage compared to ranged, but the cast time is also longer iirc
Yes
I can't seem to log in though :/
To which?
Lodestone
must just be entering something incorrectly
Never heard of people having problems with it
Best food for gathering class?
it keeps giving this
I just typed the same thing and can log in to the game just fine 😦
nvm, finally got in
weird
Do you have 2FA enabled

It finallty worked though, Thanks for the help Lyon
does hq matter for desynthing items?
no
No
also, how do i disable the "cast glamour" messages? or how do i toggle them on and off?
with a text command, if possible
is there a way to move a character to another account? im stuck bought th ps version and cant play it on my account at all
welcome to the sony ecosystem
oh well thats not exactly fully stuck that sounds pretty stuck m8
i have it on pc and ps atm
but cant play it on ps cuz i linked my account to a different ps account
way back
ps3
Best we can say is try support but you've gotten yourself into quite the mess
How do you auto play dialogue cutscene with voices? without having to click for next dialgue
press space, click through ur menu stuff for the auto w.e :v
ty.
probally dumb question
so i should do dungeons to try and get up the item level of my neck and wrist items up? Just because those are the things keeping my average item level down
No need at lower levels
The game doesn't give you good accessories until after castrum and praeotirum
I know I sound a bit paranoid, but I just bought the Complete Edition on sale and I got my code and everything. Do I have to worry about someone brute-forcing it while I go through the free trial?
but i need it for castrum
it didnt for me
Open the chest you were given
They gave a coffer
Equip the better gear
I had a promo code that got figured out by someone once.
I think they should make the raid content mandatory maybe?
I just came back from end of MSQ
and I'm doing the raids before and my immersion feels ruined
They can't make coil mandatory it's too hard
They made crystal tower mandatory
Yshtola wearing her old outfit and talking about past events as recent
I don't know how to enjoy the story
Cause it's important to story
yeah
NIN is maybe the best dps job in the game
All job are good
Use your imagination
It’s a flashback
Sing the time warp
Making more stuff mandatory for MSQ would piss people off
Blame the wandering minstrel
mandatory for MSQ? But MSQ is already huge mandatory content
my imagination? Alright
I still havent received my black chocobo 
oh right...i need to do that crystal tower stuff eventually
Aren't they gonna make warring triad mandatory at some point
No
How long does it take for Mogstation to send me the mount??
fucking forever if you're unlucky
honestly its highly variable..
maybe give it an hour or 3
how do i make glam prism
this is what happens when you let your postal service be run by moogles.
…exactly my point? lol
You can buy em with company seals or cheap on the market
In normal times Mog Station delivers in under 5 minutes
Unfortunately with the current player congestion it seems like the system is clogged up with a queue
Have SE said anything about adding more ex crafted weapons for gnb/DNC?
No
u could but someone can probably make them more cost efficiently than you could yourself

talk to an npc west of the waking sands as the DOH you want to be able to craft the prisms with. its a blue quest
how do you guys handle having all the materials for the jobs .. i barely have space 😄
there might be some prerequisites though
Does it help relogging?
Relogging generally helps yeah
Ty
Stuff that has a shop selling price on the tooltip can be easily reclaimed from NPC vendors
So you can trash it
I got a ballroom etiquette a second time. it is untradeable. Can I only discard it now?
Yeah
is there any way to control the collectability when fishing? this rng is killing me
can i get shinryus scale or any weapon drops in the normal trial or doe it have to be the ballad extreme?
Extreme only
ty
Collectability = size = high quality
Patience
hehe thank you
Can squadron members promoto to jobs?
No
can it be done solo for loot?
anima relics = HW?
Arr and heavensward for the most part can be soloed
Yes
I don’t think you can solo Shinryu EX
thanks
Not yet anyway
What is the best way to get minions?
find the minion you want
farm it
or buy a bunch of minions at once from the mogstation... its bit of a peculiar question
I know I am super new, how do you farm one. Like grow it in the ground?
oh
well, they tend to be specific to certain content
There’s duties that can drop minions
yeah
You speedrun those until you get the thing
Or just buy them from in-game vendors/MB
What time of day do the roulettes refresh?
2.5 hours from now
Ty
What do the numbers next to items on mogstation mean ?
is it ever explained why lala fighters are effective?
I like the beginning of this gladiator job but it feels weird trying to hit things up close as Lala
Where can I get more Venture Coins?
I don’t recall even an attempt at hand-waiving it away, it just requires suspension of disbelief for the sake of game balance
aha okay me neither
Has anyone here rolled a second character to level up through the MSQ again?
I know alts aren’t really a thing as much as other games, but leveling other classes after the MSQ can be so tedious…
they can be yeah
I sort of feel like there's no choice since this is the way MMO's seem to make their content
at least there's some reward at the end, and I don't have anything better to do
Do you get any bonuses from crafting all the stuff in the crafting logs. F. ex the 1-5 lv. stuff
"The Crystal Tower striker, Monster Toss machine, and Cuff-a-Cur machine furnishings, and certain other prizes can be purchased at a reduced MGP cost from the campaign attendant." Ok so who is this campaign attendant?
Go luck in the place where you get the mini cactpot tickets and such at the entrance
They punch at crotch level /s
Don't be racist
Axhievements
Near mini cactpot
Those sweet achievements
Found him, thanks
For doing all the 1-70 recipes and 60 too iirc there's fancy tools for glamoue
https://store.steampowered.com/sub/149483/ is this stormblood dlc legit, i need stormblood dlc for samurai but it comes with shadowbringers so i wanna know is this seperate stormblood dlc legit or not?

guys, the Mount Speed Increase comes automatically with the level or should I do something extra?
Guys where do i go after the uldahn envoy quest no marker is showing up ?
m8, just buy shb, it comes with stormblood
No, there is no reason to buy stormblood invidually cause YOU PHYSICALLY CANT in official stores
Shadowbringers gives you stormblood
is it possible to attune to this aethyrite? because its on the map but when i go there it's destroyed
You go back to that side of the map after Azim steppe
Then you can attune
there is supposed to be an underwater path you can go
ok, thanks, i was so confused, thought i am missing something or blind
That doesn't take you to the aetheryte
Cause the underwater bit is an instanced area
??? im in a cinematic, randomly get interrupted by some random who dont bother to kill stuff he is in combat with, runs and parks on top of me, still in combat, to start his own cinematic, meanwhile the one he is in combat with, pulls me out of the cinematic, 10 minutes into it??
wtf?
*cutscene, where i cant move my character
It's an instanced area
The aetheryte isn't there when you take that path
Cause it's not set up
locked behind msq?
yeah, it was a bit confusing when you said "you can't go there cause instanced area"
Can i make the tanks always at the first in the party list? Instead of me being the first
is that an actual voidsent i saw in air force one?
Thats a bit inconvenient, but i can manage. Thanks
you can decide what order of the roles you want it to be set to on default though, you still on top though. https://img.thaun.dev/r98dc.png
And I don't think so
It was probably what his name he's a mount and a friend of ultros in
whats the drop rate on the mount from E4S Sep?
Typhon!
Guaranteed
Yeah a nice thing we can at least decide this
100%
Savage mounts are always guaranteed
excellent thanks
Trial account friend just started, he has the level 5 gear quest, any idea how to get the initial 400ish gold required for it?
i'm 55 trying to get to 60 on a different job is highest leveled dungeon the best way?
The story gave you enough to buy the hat required
You only need a hat
LF Summoner main player that cleared Ultimates. I have some questions. DM me if you can.
Job quest gear should also help
Wait really? It seems like he needs full level 5 gear
You're already wearing i5 gear
Just need a hat
ITEM LEVEL 5 gear
Your starting job gear is ilvl 5
Oh wait is there a difference between i5 gear and the level prerequisites? omg
Item level and level requirements are different
Just needs a hat
I'm such a bad friend haha awesome
Item level is the strength of gear
!item Cryptlurker ring of fending
None

※ Materia Slots: 2

※ Desynthesis: Yes
Some of the duty roulettes give a great amount of exp, other than that the dungeon should be the best
Level is just the level to equip it
@zenith salmon this is an item level 520 ring, you need to be level 80 to equip it
Yeah I gotcha now, thanks a lot everyone
Levelling roulette, alliance roulette and msq roulette if you wanna watch Netflix first, then spam highest level dungeon
He just said fungaaaaah and was ugly so I imagined he's a voidsent. Like all the lalafells
Yeah, that's typhon
i already finished my roulettes haha ig i sit and wait for the aery to pop
Oh, so that is a mount I will probably not be in a hurry to get lol
You can also make it sneeze on people if you want iirc
yep
I want the korropokur first
He's from ff6
Is there an easy to get 2-man mount? I've just finished heavensward and I'd like to carry my friend around
Refer a friend mount
Just throw your referral code on r/ffxivraf and you'll get enough feathers for it in time
I think friend needs to buy 90 days for that vinyl
Or 3 friends
Easy easy would be mogstation
Ain't many other options outside mogstation
Is there a crafting job that upgrades matiera ?
Ah
When transmuting
Lemme think, the zoid, the mentor one, the car, E4S, cerberus and marriage
Did I miss any?
What is the fastest way to go through your first Relic weapon now? FATEs or Alliance raids?
Bojza bike
All of them
Otherwise you waste money
do i need a macro for miner?
No
This isn't wow
A lv80 alchemist can help you make some easy money
Also macros are deliberately crap for combat
Dont know whether it will change in 6.0
Alchemist is always fine cause of raid potions
Whats a good hotbar wxhb for a level 80 miner
Just how much money will depend on the age of the raid tier
hm might leave the game again since I'm done with MSQ. I only played for 5 days out of my 60 days of sub but it's probably alright since I got the story out of it
it just feels like repetitive content now
The 2.0 story is mediocre, but the quest design is maddening
I would suggest be a little more patient and wait until 3.0 since it will get a lot better
How do I get to Limsa Lominsa from Gridania? I'm level 16
Was really fun 3 days of binging and then it started slowing down with last 2 days being blu mage overworld grind
Yeah only endwalker is next story patch
I usually like either skill based competition or exploration or a combination, I like having new stuff that's challenging or looks interesting
I mean yoshi p does say go ahead and do that if you want
but grind is just the same content for very long stretches of time with little to no variation for a material reward that everyone can get if they just do it long enough
yeah
I quit WoW because it felt like all of the content was just a bunch of grinding
and the story was always in the backseat
So what was you grinding, or which grinding content stopped you
I don't know how people like Asmongold can put up with mount grinding everything or whatever
I was grinding blue mage
Oh i see
checking back party finder and etc, and then I started trying to level gladiator for an hour or something
I got a bird mount from EX Thordan from party finder that looks cool
but it doesn't really make me cry like ShB story so it's like, well it's just a shiny bird
Try to learn to fight and clear the raids maybe?
The raids are well made and requires nothing other than skill
I don't know how many tomestones I'd need to get to get my gear up
I kind of wish there'd be like ShB level story in just a cooking job or in the blue mage job which I know is impossible
I just finished base ARR and found somewhere I can spend my tomestone of poetics. Is it worth picking up some stuff now with them or should I hold off spending them until I’m in the endgame?
Yes
No tomestones are required, just buy a set of gears from the market
Poetic gear is the best gear of thst era
Hello, can somebody help me understand dragoon blood of the dragon. After I do mirage dive, the eye simply does not open after Mirage Dive. I watched dozens yt video, am I just too stupid for this? Help, thanks 🙂
Lv80 uses different yomes
I got ilvl 491
you need 510
You get eyes at 70
With Life of the dragoon
Exarchic or something yeah?
And E9s will be a good start
Job quest locked
So are the poetic ones just for post ARR? I don’t wanna get to the end of HS and feel like I should’ve saved them or something
I guess I'll try to find a way to get it
You'll need an average item level of 500 for Endwalker btw. To get into the first dungeon
I am 78, was never to use life of dragoon since 70 😄
They're for the post arr, HW and stormblood but poetics fucking grow on trees
Then do your fucking job quests
If I buy the complete edition on square enix store does it give me a code and can I wait on entering the code?
Yeah these. Just buy a full set and make sure they all have materias(you need to do it yourself)
I actually don't have money
Then go farm Eden promise normal
I'm like the person that arrives during expansion launch and leaves again
@faint flare i have my skills ready, what you mean
For 510
that seems to be what I am
You dont
If you don't have Nastrond
Your lv70 skill Nastrond and Life are locked behind your 70 job quest
Then as vinyl tails said, go for the normal eden first. It will drop lvl510 gears which are equally good
Which requires you to be in Stormblood story
even though I have tons of free time the thought of grinding or like 'Anti-story content' just sucks out all motivation from me, hopefully this will reignite my motivation
challenge should be great
Can I use the recruit a friend code on playstation?
I was going to return to Dota 2 or Tekken and gain rank trying to beat people
Yes
what, i am in shadowbringers story, could I get there without job quests?
Just do it in your phone or other browser
Yes
is there someone else having issues connecting to the server ? (EU)
This is an old raid, outdated but beautifully made. You could see if it can inspire you to raid
so uh, i farmed the xanthos whistle from garuda ex but just realized i dont know how to turn it into the mount
what do i do now lol
oh i just use it
i'm dumb
i thought i had to turn it in somewhere
xd
welcome to my world, took me 10+ minutes for the chocobo quest as a new player to figure out "wheres my chicken mount!"
ah yeah Shiva
do I start in PF and then go to a FC?
Scrips
No
How do I see the item level of one of my items?
Just do your collectibles/custom deliveries
Ok
Items tooltip
in MOrdhana?
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Where's the tooltip? I'm so sorry, I must be blind
PF is good enough. I would suggest learn about how things work in raids first then find a FC but its not a big deal so do whatever you like
Hover over the item
alright thanks
OH I finally saw it
there a site with up to date info on the maelstrom vendor for the trade in quests?
Yes,they're removed
ugh so just toss those right?
XD
What do these numbers mean on some mogstation items ?
is adamantite ore... easily farmable now?
you used to have to farm it at a specific time right
Still timed, but it's every 12 hours

SMN will be fine for high ping. I suggest not to use BLM
what class has fastest cooldowns
fashion report is weekly yes
Either ninja or monk, idk
wait are cloud mica's timed?
You can only get 60k once. But if you fucked up, you can upgrade from 10k to 60k and get the difference
I see
whats the diff between male n female race chocobo?
there trading implications down the road?
The gender you can cover them with for breeding
You can't trade race chocos
Wish you could
yes but you can also buy that from vendor in churning mist
what do you mean cover them with?
er no, its not timed
Ugh, basically rent another chocobo to produce a baby
its a hidden item
oh as in a stable, those little hunting blind sorta things ive seen at my FC
NPC chocobo*
But you can cover between your own chocobos
is this normal? not all characters are loading
yes
What's your object and pc quantity setting?
what are the "soul" plates for crafting? am I missing on certain job skills?

of people showing on my screen
do yu need dyeable lv70 AF gear to get elemental gear?
Some crafts (usually the latest bust, barding and crafted weapons) require soul btw. But you can swap up to 3 times a week for 480 yellow scrips, so you're nowhere near locked.
You can set it to maximum but there's still a hard limit to how many people can be shown on screen at one time
ok thanks
do I need to do 3 different quests
or just one to get all 3
it says soul of crafter 3
I think you don't need to do quests? You Def don't have to do different ones
How do you get the fire animted horns ?
You can have up to 3 specialists
Hey quick question because I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I just bought the complete edition key for PC but it's not taking the code anywhere... Thoughts?
wait
all I had
to do was deliver the letter
LOL
I was so scared of that quest
for the longest time ; ;
"Upgrade to Full Version" in mogstation
!faq mogstation
what are the 3 "best" specialists?
Is Alchemy or Cook a better crafting class to level up first?
Do them all together
^ for real
Thanks it worked!
Oh I see
Yeah you'll want to do that a lot
Only two I can think of is the inferno mask and the bonewicca set. The first one was a promotional item which I can't remember if you can buy it off of Mogstation. The second one is a level 70 dungeon set
HW gonna need to waiting, crafting n gathering too much fun atm
is the story in the patches after finishing an expansion that important ?
Yes
its in the msq so its important
They "wrap up" the previous expansion and then set up the next.
so far they are just some stupid tribe summoned a primal
If you're in ARR a lot of that stuff builds on the overall world lore
i just started HW patches
Oh then yes a lot of that is especially important
k
there a way to get info on the world lore pre ARR cause uhh still lost
Post Hw is love post hw is life
Ishgard etc
Is there a level 50 weapon guide? I don't have much knowledge on gears and weapons but for level 50 samurai, I have shit gear
Dunno the command/link for it but there is a google doc someone here wrote that helps go through the story if you missed anything
Inner quiet ----> innovation ---> great strides as opening?
well its less missed something and more i kinda feel like its referencing stuff im not "getting" so MAYBE i did or it expects the player to at least understand what the jist of the world is
Ironworks with poetics
Poetics?
i reached my Poetics cap
I see, yeah that's what I'm using rn, does weapons matter?
!faq poetics
what should i do ? am level 69
Or just gear
Ironworks is the best 50 gear
Weapons are THE MOST important part
Ah I see
Weapon damage is THE BEST stat in the game
Yeah I just have the basic samurai weapon
+1 weapon damage automatically makes that weapon better in 99% of situations
what are the relic weapons ?
For my current level
A long grindy quest chain for shiny weapons
i can do that later than
Relics are designed as a time sink
i guess getting gear
@white isle you basically just equip the best you can get from dungeons/msq rearda as you do them
And for 50/60/70
Current relics are the best weapons in the game
Go for the poetics gear
Since they're finished
can i buy level 70 while on HW patches ?
Speaking of time sinks... Is there a faster way to do the Anima relic?
Nope
max 60 ?
So I can only get weapons on only dungeons and msq rewards? Nothing else
Yep
i have my job 60 gear
probably a silly question, but if i take a screenshot in game where is it saved?
mounts ?
@white isle you can vendor if you really want. But isnt needed in most cases
actually i guess gil is better
I see. And weapons have a Requirement for weilding them right?
@valid heron I believe For PC, theres a setting that shows you the destination folder
idk what my glvl is
Your character page tells you
It doesn't matter which weapon I get right? As long as it has higher dmg
That star is your average item level
ilvl is all that matters during levelling
All jobs use 1 weapon type
?
Sub stats hardly matter until end gsme
found it, it was in documents
thanks 😄
Yes that's your average ilvl
Pretty hard, I'm trying to do heavensward msq but I'm dying pretty fast. The enemies are the same level as me
So just click on the recommended gear button and let the game do it for you
guess am 173, so buying the lvl 60 Poetics gear is good
I think mine is 73 lvl
What dungeon are you trying to do and what's your ilvl
Yeah that's real low
Ilvl 73 is way too low for hw content
If I have all tanks leveled (im a tank main) and summoner/scholar, and I got a level 60 dragoon, what class would you say would be good to round things up? (since there is a discount on character boost, might as well get one)
if you party with someone and they tp to somewhere you haven't been to yet will you still get the tp offer?
Heavensward expects you to be at least i100+
No
Yeah I know, I just don't know much about getting better item level. I did a few dungeons but that didn't rly help
@white isle if yojre in HW
Just go buy more ironworks
Just visit the ishgard vendors
ah, was hoping to be able to get a lift to Mor Dhona early so i can get my booty shorts from the cascadier vouchers haha, only turn in seems to be at Mor Dhona
Or poetics if you have enoguh
I'll see what I can do
Ironworks can last you till lvl 55 content thereabouts
I see
I'll check them out soon
@faint flare but the gear from this guy (Rowena's Representative in Ishgard)
whats his icon
Blue bag
hello!
i have only 2k
only
so i will buy some and grind the rest via the story
Get weapon chest and legs minimum
loaded up ff14 r n
i missed alot because i ignored the notification that my poetics reached max
and it for some reason doesn't recognize that I have the game downloaded on my D drive
Poetics rack up pretty quickly if you do duty roulette daily
and wants me to redownload the entire thing on my C drive
my stupid ass skips them
because am on a fast 70 server
Yea i feel you
I didnt even do roulettes during my earlier free trial days
Oh boy did I regret
Cause I was constantly over levelling on msq
And didnt wanna waste msq exp
I basically only did Leveling to bring 'spare jobs' up to msq level
Because you get from 50-60 too quickly with roulettes
good to know since im still stuck at 52 and want me that fellcleave
wait i never thought of that
i should do roulettes on my 2nd class everyday of am not going to do them on main
at what level tho ?
Thats what I did back on shadowbringers release. Played the story on Summoner and did roulette on my Warrior for fast queues
should i start with the alt job doing roulettes
If you wanna level them you should
As soon as you want tbh and dont need any extra levels on your main
yeah, level to 15 by doing either hunt log or palace of the dead and then do your daily leveling roulette
And once that second class reaches level 50 you can also do things like MSQ roulette and others (idk how far into the game you are rn)
ok i guess i need to pick my class than
16*
althogh i want my healer class and dps class to be the new classes with end walker
You can do satasha at 15. But levelling roulette only at 16
@haughty topaz try every job
Eventually
That's my recommendation
first one i think will be healer
faster queues
the healer with cards
astrologist or somthing
you can also check WeskAlber videos to get an idea on how each class plays. Just dont be overwhelmed by the high level rotations as you will practice as you level
^ was about to recommend the same
hey guys, does anybody have a good eureka relic guide? Im level 20 elemental in there but im not sure how to get my MCH relic, is it worth buying 2 cryptic seals to get 2 pieces of gear for MCH? thanks in advance!
yeah that guy is a legend
ok ty lads
and lasses

Is there a support contact for not being able to log in to an account?
I've put in the correct password and OTP for the past hour now and tried changing it but still wouldnt let me
Anyone farming King Elmer 3 only been getting Godbert card instead of Bahamut?
Is it faster to farm coil with lvl 80 or tomestomes to gear my level 50 friend?
I need more poetics
Do dungeons really only give u like 50 per run?
That's the highest one I see rn
Yes...you also get a bonus amount for your first clear
So it's a good idea to go unlock the other lv50 dungeons for the bonus poetics
Yeah I had 1k for some reason, didn't even know I had that much
Daily roulettes will also give you a chunk per day

Yeah hard part is I'm a dps and it takes forever to find a match
ohhh I thought GS
Is there any practical reason to do the Crafting / Gatherer Job questlines or do they just give gear?
Skills
they also have nice stories
Ah
It was also today I learned thay Standard Touch comboed with Basic Touch
I've been crafting wrong for a while
I've been spamming Standard Touch and running out of crafting points lol
If I have all tanks leveled (im a tank main) and summoner/scholar, and I got a level 60 dragoon, what class would you say would be good to round things up? (since there is a discount on character boost, might as well get one)
it’s still money loss
I wouldn't recommend boosting, cuz it's a worse way to learn a job and the job quest lines are fun imo
Nothing ng+ wont solve
Yeah, blm seems fun. I was also considering mch
So I'm going to start doing my lvl 80 relic weapon, am i reading the wiki right that i have to do all these level 70 side quests beforehand?
Just do Ivalice
Only the lv70 24mans
what is ivalice
The lv70 24mans
idk if this is the right place to ask, but can some of you help me take down a FATE boss i need for achievement?
Hey for "A New Path of Resistance" do you have to use the same weapon your trying to upgrade to get the artifact?
No
With 5.58 is the drop rate for memories for the first step at 100% in Bsf?
None of the shadowbringers relic steps need you to be on that job
I think i asked this before but just to be sure , i can level in bozjan with this gear without issue's right cause i heard gear doesn't matter in Bozjan anyway
Yes
You're hard set to 430
As long as you're wearing something
oh so i can just be on any job for a completly different class and i'll still get the item in question
Yes
vinyl sorry to bother you every day lol but to be sure, this is part of the correct chain? https://i.imgur.com/zvr9vL6.png
cool thanks!
Alright thanks alot ! have a nice day
Yes. Just continue it all the way to City in the jungle
just want to side note, I love that quest name lol
Once that's done the guy will have Hail to the Queen
ok awesome thanks a bunch
I used this page to unlock all the raids that I was missing, in case you need help in the future: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Raids
ok i'll bookmark that page
I went back and recently unlocked the HW raids that I never did
im working on unlocking a lot of stuff atm
haha yeah. I normally focus on one thing at a time until that is fully unlocked, buy ofc, each one has different styles, specially if you want to switch things up
yeah i just hit 80 like 2 days ago so i have so much to do lol
anyways i wont clog the channel
thanks for the help
yea i was in a rush to MSQ stuff n max level then said screw it
just playing at my pace cause reasons, just gathering cause its fun/relaxing
does anyone know how to get a dark steel nugget?
Yes cause it's a chain
If I cancel my square enix account, will I be able to use the email that was canceled to another square enix account?
From anemos, to pagos, to Pyros to hydados
I’m playing with a controller and whenever I start attacking a target, I can’t switch targets. Like I can switch and use one action, but it automatically targets the original enemy again. How do I fix this?
Do I need to have had unlocked the previous relic weapon to unlock Bozja?
Character configuration > general > Target > turn in Switch target circle to target select
I have a friend who is getting interested in the game. He is currently playing the free trial through steam. If he buys the complete edition from the Square Enix store which is currently on sale, will he be able to upgrade the account he is playing on through steam?
Target circle is "soft targetting" and basically shit
No. All relics are separate
No, since he touched steam he must go via steam
Lifesaver
Thanks
Follow up question. Is it possible to make it so left/right on the dpad targets enemies only and up for npc’s etc?
Up/down is party members only
i can make a macro for chain skills? like cast sequence?
By default with weapons drawn you'll only target ebemies
Can you? Yes... Should you? Fuck no
Alright. I’ll live with it I guess. It’s frustrating in cities since I keep targeting other players instead of the npc
You can't make pvp combos in pve
Not without literally destroying your dps to obviolion and having major issues
Onlu PVP have 1 button combos as a feature
SE said they'll never bring it to pve
are there any macros that are critical to have?
Mo
like maybe tank panic buttons or something?
This isn't wow, most players never touch a macro
No you just hit the panic button
I.e. Your invuln
what's the highest ilvl crafted gear rn for lv80?
and savage is 530?
Savage/augmented revelation tome gear
alright, thanks 
Is there a method of fast travel between major cities other than aethernet? I started in Ul’dah, but want to switch jobs to one that is in the ocean city. Should I just stick with it until the msq takes me there?
if i play with someone on ps4 can we voice chat or only text chat
There's no built in vc regardless of platform
ok ty
does the % can go up somehow? lv, stat? except those SP buffs?
Teleporting is the fastest method
Gathering stat
Higher gathering = more success
Perception is Hq chance
Theres also skills that will maker it go up, too
so just buying better gear on the vendor for now right?
Yeah, crafter and gatherer are super heavily gear dependent
Also each expansion is a MASSIVE jump from what you'd expect
I can’t teleport without going there though right? I haven’t been to any other city than Uldah yet
So once you hit hw you pretty much need to buy gear from hw vendors
Yes. Story will take you
Once you redeem EW Early Access Preoder you should get the earring delivered by mail, right?
Anywhere from 5 minutes to 12 hours
Just making sure there wasn't any extra steps. Thanks!
Alright thanks. Is it smart to make the main cities the favorites for the cheaper teleport costs?
For the most part
I see people with a buff that reduces TP cost, how is that obtained?
is there a chat channel in ff14 to ask for help from a crafter? in wow you'd usually go to trade chat
Just shout in a populated zone like Limsa
alright, I'll try that thanks
can you have bom boko ride your shoulder like the lesser panda can?
How often do you have to play level catch up to the main quest, if you do just those and job quests?
