Ty!
Question, how many primals exist in this game, holy mother of god i killed so many and they keep coming, does every race have their own primal
Alot
yeah there's like over 40 at this point
So a friend of mind did his MSQ roulette, then went into alliance raids and it put him into one of the MSQ's. Is that possible?
Each beast tribe have their own
are all beast tribes also as divided as the amalj'aa are?
yes
that's interesting
do company hunting logs also give exp or just the seals?
seals
seals

Does anyone from BALMUNG know of a primary Balmung Discord Server, and if so, may I have a link to it please? ❤️
check #resources but usually people don't make server specific discords
for the first time i havent been able to continoue in the msq, it says dungeon requirments the bowl of embers hard teh navel hard the howling eye hard, does that mean i just need to go into the duty finder and bust those out before i can continoue?
The hard mode primals yes
kk
I know Mateus has a dedicated discord server for it...
how do i make it hard mode?
Go unlock then
Urianger has the questline
!quest a recurring problem
Under it
Minfilia has need of your talents for a reemerging primal problem.
Minfilia
The Waking Sands (X: 6.91 Y: 6.14)
Urianger
The Waking Sands (X: 6.06 Y: 4.99)
The Ultimate Weapon
Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It
oh i ignore dthat quest and kept going on the msq
kind of weird to have it like that
||Also is Yagiri the first Au Ra that people have seen?||
It'd needed for story
Yugiri Yes, she teased it for heavensward
So Au Ra came out in Heavensward then
yes
That's cool
Yes
if i buy the complete edition is it permanently unlocked?
Yes
you get sub for 30 days
oh how much is the sub
!faq subprice
Hi, I started the quest for HW relic weapons as lancer, and I'm currently on the Soul Without Life quest, the reward shows up for dragoon weapon, is there any way I can change it? I'd like to get the ninja one now
thanks
Wait, so can I pay entry sub if i only play on my character always
or is it standard after a certain amount?
Need to do the whole chain from the start as ninja
Entry is completely fine
So now I have to do it as dragoon? Or can I just abandon and retake the quest?
You should be able to abandon
I'll check, thanks
I have a question
So I can pay for the entry fee as long as I don't have 2 characters on the same server then
Yes
perfect
Is there a place whre i can find coordinates for Elite Clan Huts?
Ty ty, thought there would be smth with coordinates too
Will go looking for them :3
unless they don't live in huts, idk where to point you then
You know how you can buy the starter pack and it comes along with 30 days play time? Im on the trial so lets say I buy it does that mean along my journey to lvl 60 it will use those 30 days in the background?
i think so yes
so i suggest you get to 60 and then buy it
i mean getting to 60 if you're not getting sidetracked and going through the story at your own pace takes about 5-6 days
considering you also go outside
The Elite Marks for example, the link you sent me just says the map, so i gotta run around the map looking for it, correct?
I think you tagged the wrong person
but yes
is there no quicker way to scroll through lists in duty finder using controller?
Sorry
trying to get to the withdraw button is terrible
Is there anyway of knowing which NPCs you have defeated? Or is it just the case of going to every one and ticking them off...? Or should I also win a fight against them to make sure? For triple triad
Play mouse.....
so you can join them and they'll let you tag the mob before killing them @feral nebula
jk jk lol 😄 idk
The icon on their head changes based on if you beat them and disappears when you have all their cards
as soon as you earn all of the cards they give, the icon will disappear
But say in theory I obtained some of the cards through those random packs, or is that not possible?
I did a few of those very early on and have no idea if any, how many that might have affected?
If they are not the cards of the enemies you have already defeated, the icon will not go away
I get that, but if I get the cards in other ways and the NPC has nothing left to offer, even if I don't battle them does that mean they count as defeated?
also the cards they give are marked by a black pouch with a question mark in it, if you have gotten the card they give, there will be a card instead
Is there any way I can check how much items in my inventory are worth on the market? Like right-click on them or something, instead of typing their name in the search bar
If you haven't fought them then it's still there
no, since you have not defeated them yet
Ah ok great thanks for the confirmation!
No, you check by checking the market board or when listing it via retainer
also some plug-ins on PC
though said plug-ins are not 100% accurate to current listings
listing it via retainer
Do you mean that if i try to list my item through a retainer it will give me a recommended price automatically?
i would not know how the controller works, but have you tried going upwards, does it put your "scroll" to the bottom of the list?
^
Anyone know/have a link to the output of MGP for Lord of Verminion? (and if it changes based on first time completion vs. subsequent ones)
Okay i will check this later, if youre in the city tho can you show me the pic of the icon?
It's just the top right when adjusting the price
you can turn off BGM
System configuration > Sound Settings
I have already, its not the same as FATE tho
genuine question, did they buff castrum or something
The buffed the tunnel armour and changed the buttons to not needing to be stood in
Basically buffs for low man castrum
It's duoable now
A play on words, I like it
Is the chocobo quest available when I hit level 20 with a job or when the msq hits level 20?
If my level means nothing, can i then switch to archer and do MSQ in heavensward with no worries? A genuine question.
Okay so it doesn't matter as long as i am the minimum level required
i never had level issues, i had gear issues instead xD
I’ve been having fun issues. I’ve been waiting to change my job until after the chocobo, but it’s still 5 msq levels away so I’ll just change it now
if you ever feel the need to switch to another job or anything like that, do it
your fun in the game is your highest priority
no matter what
Yeah. Sunk cost fallacy even though it’s only been one day lmao
So I’m switching from THM to ACN. Is the summoner play style a little more mobile?
yes
Black mage is the least movement based class in the game
Black mage is super fun but i can understand why people dont like it
hey can you unequip glamours without sppending glamour dispellers ?
because people like using WASD XD
SMN is super mobile. It takes a little while to feel it though cause Ruin 1 and Miasma has actual casting
bruh
Being a badass spell caster is my favorite thing, but I also don’t have fun if I feel glued down /shrug
Ay, I'm a black mage main, i'm just saying it how it is
ironically, black mage isn't as glued down as it's seems if you use your cooldowns correctly. That and Aetherial Manipulation
I’ll definitely play it eventually, but I need something more mobile for my first time through the story
Comparing Black mage and summoner feels like comparing arcane and fire mage from wow
they're the same class ( caster ) but one moves a lot and deals damage and the other stays still and deals damage
It's about what you prefer pretty much, but i do have to say you can move a lot once you get further in into the passive procs
you're able to move forever and even have teleport abillities to get you out of stuff
so you're less based on moving on your own as well
Yeah in WoW I just played casters with heavy focus on instant cast or the ability to cast while moving
so you played fire mage then xD
And ele shaman
black mage is kind of a mash between fire mage and arcane mage
Summoner looks fun though
since arcane mage has to remain static at all times
If I don’t like it I can always switch back
but still has as many if not even more insta cast procs as fire mage
if i use angel wings (fashion accessory) its still active while im in combat / dungeons?
Anyone know what’s the best way to get MGP right now with the event going? I’ve just been spamming out on a limb. Is there anything better?
!faq mgpguide
triple triad and doing events
that's how i did it
Thank you!
Is it possible to deactivate the markers on the map for classes i currently dont do?
i think you can't
@mossy moss who do you go against?
the king
idk his full name
but i know he has king in his name while others in the gold saucer don't
Hmm can you beat him with the beginner deck?
So if I'm trying to join a Fishing Voyage and I'm told "They're no longer accepting Crew Members".
Does that mean that I'm too late to register, or that too many people have already registered?
i suggest you gather all of the cards from other masters before attempting him, to get the feel of the game and how it's played, also look up on how the Plus rule in triple triad works so that you won't be confused where you lose the whole board against him
Ah...
What’s the number of memories of the dying do i need to complete the resistance weapon quest
is there someone i can dm in regards to relic weapons? im close to augmenting my shadowbringers one but im too unsure about the refinement process
So if I was trying to go on a venture at 4 pm and get there at 3:50, then I can't join.
But if I register at 3:40 then I'm all good?
do i just skip the allocate part?
Follow your jobs stat priority
okay, thank you!
You start registering at 4
Sign ups last 15mins
OH
I see
I'm glad you told me that. I was about to go off and do Duties
Thank you very much!
whats the best way to get gear at 80? what ilvl do i need to start doing endgame content?
See pins for guide
bought main set from market alrdy
is there a way to have the game on steam while buying complete edition via square enix?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Resistance_Weapons All of the details for the quests are on the bottom of the page
Not sure if it works, but you can add it to your steam library as a non-steam game
I guess that works too. I heard you also can't mix square enix and steam keys or something right
Correct
like having the base game on steam requires you to buy the expansions on steam only
hello there potential new player here just wondering if i like the game what do i need to buy to have acces to everything? just this?
yes
Until November
Yes
Yep
The only time you can cross between PC and Steam is from PC trial to Steam full game
Cheapest you'll get
so its here for like how much longer?
18th
18th which month? next?
Yes
dumb question but I've been playing free trial on steam. If I were to buy complete edition on square enix, I don't have to start over right

you cant buy from square enix
You can’t cross from Steam trial to PC full game
Does the Bozjan earring and/or menphina exp bonus work inside Bozja?
You’d need a new account
rip
AFAIK, no.
Not
Cause they're mob xp
Not fate xo
explains why so little people play this game on steam i guess
steam is like 80€ to get expansions
It’s the same price as PC assuming no sales.
steam is actually cheaper if you have regional pricing
and yeah it's the same price otherwise
One Question. Can someone please tell me if the Hairstyle Rainmaker is still obtainable in the Golden Saucer?
is it possible to use GC aetheryte tickets for GCs you're not part of?
Do I have to be on the same class for my resistance relic for the timeworn artifacts in potd or can I use a different class to get the timeworn artifacts?
im pretty new and I cant to level up another class I tried doing dungeons but they just give like 10%
ah yeah if you wanna buy shadowbringers and endwalker at once
and dont wait for any sale
it should be the same price on the SE price outside of the sale though
The Modern Aesthetics Saleswomen near the mini cactpot person sells it
you can be on any class for bozja relic farming
steam doesnt go on sale as much as square enix or third party sites that sell the square enix version
it's why people use blue mage for many parts of it
You can get the SHB relic materials as any job as long as you have the quest
This is at the golden saucer, right? I'm sorry I've never been there lol, just wanted to know to actually go there. Hello, fellow Gilgamesher 😄
well i hope i wont be confused too much in this game
Yes
Okay thank you
it seems pretty complicated to me
!faq buy
Thanks!
how far are you roelu?
i mean questing class quests etc i guess
come to famfrit in primal datacenter 🙏
if you are new you should just play the free trial rather than buying immediately
does anyone have an idea about this? before I blow 90k seals on tickets
and by the time you hit 60 there should probably be a steam sale
no dont buy the steam version
buy the square enix version thats on sale rn, and save the code
and milk the shit out of the free trial
Can’t tell you for sure, my gut assumption is no
can someone explain how this chemistry even works
i tried the game like 2years ago but quit pretty early on since the game felt slow and questing seemed weird i guess
i dont see any missions giving me MGP
It gives you.mgp
It’s a proc generated by the squadron member
if you aren't already on steam and dont have use for regional pricing or steam wallet option, then yeah you can just buy the codes on sale now on SE and enter them later then
i though it was based on a percentage
once you are "done" with your free trial
If they’re an active member in the mission and another active member is a marauder, you can get MGP
can anyone with aetheryte tickets from more than one GC test to see if you can use tickets from outside your current GC?
Do note the chemistry won’t count themselves if they’re a marauder
So im currently on the free trial and im kind of thinking about purchasing a subscription but i prefer doing these things on steam so im wondering if there is a way i can transfer my progress from SE version to steam?
Yes, just buy steam starter edition and register it to your account on the mogstation
PC trial to steam full game works
yup it works, it's how i did it
oh alright cool, was worried i might had to redo progress
i started free on SE then switched to steam paid version
why can i only go 1280x720 on borderless windowed? am i stupid?
when should i use ruin 3 vs 2
2 is instant cast but lower damage
When you don’t need to move or weave in an oGCD like energy drain or fester
You use it for mobility
ty
my screen is 1920x1080 tho
Is the DoT 30 potency every second? How long is a tick?
3 seconds
so 180 potency of DoT total?
what should I do with all the random items ive accumulated in my inventory, im almost full
Yep, 180+50 from the initial hit
Gotcha ty
so it shows 1280 but its actually 1920 or what?
Sell junk like monster drops or random crafting materials you’re not using to NPC vendors
ok thanks
Does anyone know where to get the lvl 20 mount mission? is it at a chocobo porter or?
Does the price of complete edition increase when a new DLC releases?
pretty much just bought the game, I'm level 11 right now, if I buy a boost for samurai does it unlock it and level it or do I have to unlock it first?
At your grand company
No it stays the same
How much is the monthly subscription after the starter pack or is it just 20 each month?
Unlocks it for you and makes it 70
you need to gather 200 grand company seals, buy a chocobo pass from a quartermaster, then talk to a porter in the city
Should I be summoner or scholar?
!faq subprice
summoner is dps, scholar is healer. so you can choose what you want to play
thanks y'all
okay, and do I need to purchase any dlc for it? I only have the starter edition at the moment
thanks a lot
90 days is around 43 dollars per 3 months, and 180 days is around 77 per 6 months
Summoner it is 👀. I wanna hold magic in my hands and wield it like a boss
You need to buy shadowbringers to use it since SAM is a stormblood job
Okay, dope thank you.
Is my grand company marked in my map or? not sure where to find that
hmm so i wanna play on EU server they are not "dead" compared to others right?
what level are you?
Me? 20
also what is the difference between "light" and "chaos"?
They’re marked with their flag in their city state
None, really
do you know which company you chose?
!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
Have you actually done the main story quest to unlock your grand company?
Cause you may not have selected yours yet
Moogle and Shiva are basically the only notable worlds due to being French and German focused
so how do i know if light or chaos is closer to me?
is thanalan a great company or is that the city im in
They’re both in the same location of Germany
thanalan is a region, the city is uldahn, the company for uldahn is the immortal flames
Thanalan is the region
So, if you picked Gladiator / Thaumaturge / Pugilist, you start in Ul'dah in Thanalan. That city's Grand Company is the Immortal Flames, but as you continue MSQ you will pick one of the 3 for yourself, which doesn't have to be the one in your starting city
You could instead choose Maelstrom or Twin Adders, if you end up thinking Limsa or Gridania is neater
where do I go to upgrade my exarchic gear
Wynne
Eulmore
There's a series of like five vendors on the left side that are outside the plaza
One of them is where you turn in the Exarchic gear, another buy the Crystalline Rain and the third where you pick up Augmented Exarchic
oh gotcha, I think I am lvl 15 then, on MSQ
thanks
What's the fastest way to grind for Heaven's wards Animus weapons?
Which step specifically?
I has question
!faq anima
So job skips give you a full set of Scaevan gear right
But what happens if you already have Scaevan gear?
I'm at the second step, when you need 4? Items that are crafted by 10 Unidentifiable whatever and 4 other things (I only need the 10 unidentifiable items (40 in total)
You need to discard the duplicate gear to open the coffer
So I could turn in all the gear to my GC then open the coffer and get a new set?
Yep
pog
Hey Guys know where I can find tips for lvl 60 paladin rotation?
Goring blade combo > Royal Authority Combo x2
Use aoe combo at two targets
Using Goring Blade combo on two targets might be better depending on how long they live
Wait job skips are on sale 
Coming on its Own is the step by the way, just checked.
You can grind poetics for the unidentifiables
ARR tribes and HW tribes can also buy them with their beast tribe tokens
You can also grind the first tier of Alexander for the precision parts to exchange for them
3 runs per unidentifiable
does the starter race/clan matter for dps lategame or something?
Nope
or just pick w/e i like
Those stat differences you see stat the exact same at 80
i see they have diff starting attribute so just wondering
2
are there more bosses in the game that are handled in a lame and braindead cheese-strategy way like twintania? i just heard about the pit strategy, and it's really pathetic
At endgame you have thousands of main stat
so are most people on Steam or SE version? which one is "better"
i see okay thanks
Only one fight of Alexander savage with a suicide strat

But cheese strats as a whole basically stopped with ARR
You can
No
Is it normal for the online store purchases to take a while? I already got the confirmation email but nothing is in my in-game mail?
You buy starter edition to use shadowbringers
just spot twintanias location and dodge her charges, instead of moving boring into a pit, that seems really straight-forward and simple as well
Unless you count blu
it just requires a slight-tad bit of concentration and reflexes...
btw can you re-customize character later for some currency or anything?
if i am not mistaken, it is fairly easy to dodge, isn't it? you have quite a bit of time to run away, no?
I’m not counting something that was added far after the original content
Yes I know
But you need starter edition to use shadowbringers
Thanks
if i choose a job , e.g. monk, can i switch it to samurai later on?
Full rwce/gender the lot: fantasia. You get one for free otherwise it's paid
Hair/tattoos can be changed freely for gil once you unlock aesthestician
Yes, provided you have the relevant expansiob
Need stormblood for samurai
do anyone have the do anyone have Taffeta Loincloth
damn samurai is what i wanna play but i saw i need lvl 50 for samurai?
Yes
Yes
Any job at 50
when the new expansion releases, wont they make that free? Or is that still needed to be purchased?
!faq expacjobs
It starts at 50 so it needs 50
so what do i do before lvl 50?
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (Tank), Astrologian (Healer), and Machinist (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require completion of the level 50 main scenario quest 'Before the Dawn'.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Pillars(13,8).
Astrologian - Pillars(15,10).
Machinist - Foundation(8,10).
Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Ul'dah(14,17).
Samurai - Ul'dah(9,9).
Shadowbringers Expansion Jobs: Gunbreaker (Tank) and Dancer (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 60 and require ownership of the Shadowbringers Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 60.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Gunbreaker - New Gridania (11,11).
Dancer - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9,12).
play classless?
also- i don't see some of the other reasons as well. why do you "need to move below twintania" for her fire-cage. i assume so that AOE dps can deal more damage? but that's not really "need to" then
Probably won't. Heavensward being free is already unusual
You can't
You can be all jobs on one character
so i can be like ninja at lvl 30 and switch later on? granted i heard ninja is one of the hardest classes in game
prob not a good idea for beginner
You can play all jobs on one character
But you do have to level them separately
With one exception
But I'm not getting into that
ninja also has a learning curve but it's not extremely mindboggling hard or anything
it teaches you how to get fast
hows the learning curve for samurai?
how many jobs can one character have at the same time?
all of them
INFINITE POWER
Aka all of them
but on free trial only 6 no?
13
Lol no
Everything is capped at level 60 tho
speaking from an objective standpoint, samurai's learning curve is very strange
at 50, the starting class, it's simple: get 3 sticks to do damage, keep dot up
when you get kenki, you manage that by not overcapping and trying to align it with raid buffs, which is not that bad
at 76, when you get a skill called tsubame, samurai becomes the hardest class in the game to play well due to its rigidity and rotational complexity from trying to keep it not drifting
Free trial has access to all base game and HW jobs, including the limited job blue mage
Not 76 SAM is fairly easy
76+ SAM has an extremely rigid rotation centered entirely around using Tsubame-gaeshi as it comes off cooldown for Kaeshi: Setsugekka
hmm ok, which dps has the easiest rotation? Minus the casters
it's a rewarding job if you can learn how to adapt and change your rotation on the spot to keep skills from not drifting
Dancer
mch / dnc
rdm
ninja
are my DPS of choice for ranged / caster / melee in terms of easiest
On what planet is NIN easy
NIN has a relatively high skill floor but consistency wll let you master it
isn't dragoon the easiest?
then optimization for it is not that bad
The one where opinions are subjective
i would argue that dragoon, while not difficult, is harder than nin due to its limited weave opportunities and rigidity
in addition to animation lock locking you in place
Also animation lock
whereas ninja's burst windows are often forgiving and flexible
dragoon does the same rotation every time. and the question was about easy rotation, not easy class
that is the same idea with ninja
just because a class does the same rotation every time does not equate to ease
You can't exactly separate the two in terms of gameplay
same rotation every time =/= ease
most people would not find monk easy to learn or play well just because it does the same exact rotation on a 90s basis
kk, i heard monk was the hardest to play, since im brand new idk if that would be the smart choice lol
play it if you want to play it, just because it's hard doesn't mean it's a bad choice to pick up
That's subjective
i find it helps accelerate how you get better in some cases, ie positionals 
Yeah tbh, since this is PvE content i might aswell
The only reason people say Monk is harder than the other melee dps is because it has the most positionals (six)
imo the rotation is just the rotation. the buttons to press, and when to press them.
the rest is all not rotation
downtime and fight mechanics directly coincide with rotation
Monk i find annoying cuz it's POSITIONALS: THE JOB
And unlike SAM where positionals aren't really needed past 62 MNK loses a lot of damage if you're missing positionals
positionals are very much needed for sam
they are just as important for sam as they are for mnk
samurai has the biggest loss per potency missed
you lose a lot of potency if you miss positionals
!faq
use that in #kupo-bot-spam if ur messing with th faq bot, jade
maybe i should just go bard and switch to samurai since ill experience what its like playing ranged and then go melee lol. Is that possible?
if your concern is difficulty, i wouldn't go with samurai as your first melee class
I have a question specifically for those who are into the Extreme/Savage/Unreal content of the game...
What advice can you give this nublet who wants to really become one of those reliable endgame players that people would want to have on their team?
I mean, like how do I train myself for these super-difficult tasks considering endgame players usually have their own selective groups where it's difficult for those new to the mechanics and such to become fully experienced in them?
.... I hope I'm making sense. @_@
do any fates now given grand company credit?
any fates, yes
ahh yeah i remember u saying that
will the new expansion add a new job?
yes
2
sage (healer) and reaper (melee dps)
yes
Yes
my steps
- practice your class well. read up on it, learn the rotation, get it done. hit a practice dummy until you're pretty good with the rotation
- bring that into regular fights. not extremes/savage, just regular fights. try to get good in those fights. you don't need to be perfect but do your rotation well and with uptime
2b. if you want, you can also parse and then upload your fights to fflogs and then xivanalysis to point out your mistakes. not necessary, but very helpful - after enough confidence, feel free to make learning parties on PF or join a discord dedicated to recruitment. you should then practice by doing harder fights after learning your rotation in normal fights
3b. do extremes first since they are less hard than savage
use the discord below
walk before you run
!faq Balance
"patron deity" matter for anything?
No
Do items you put up for sale on the MB stay there offline or do they only appear there when you're online?
use The Balance. It's a discord server with optimization and proper rotation for everyh class
Everything except starting job is fluff
yes they remain up while offline
They're only taken down if you don't touch your retainers for a week
Thx
Is this worth it to get? first time I get this option
Yes
Thank you very much @outer mural . That's really nice advice. I'm a Black Mage and I have the Fire Crit Rotation down pat, but.... I can't stay alive to finish the rotation on most Extremes.
depends, the zonureskin sells for money and can be used for treasure hunts if you want
but the poetics may be useful if you need those
Can sell maps for do them for chance of big money
is it like exclusive dungeon?
one of the biggest pieces of advice i got was:
don't think "i'm bad", think "what can i do to avoid dying in that spot"
but the starter class matters or i can have all classes later no matter what i choose?
just go with what sounds most fun?
doesn't mater, pick the starter class that looks cool yeah
would be best if you think you'd stick with that class utntil later on
yeah and where you start doesn't matter at all
unless you have friends i guess which i dont 
yeah with some loot but its not guaranteed and you need a group of people to do it
i usually just sell the map on the mb
For exploration purposes if you choose Limsa you're stuck on the island until you get an airship pass
ohh any base class can go into any job? e.g. gladiator can go into a black mage?
No
no
Classes go into 1 job
ok will check the market price first
For PLD, In what situation would I use Holy Spirit instead of the 123 combo?
Under Requeisticat
I'm msq 50 and I cna't find tha amalj'aa quest start the beast tribes
To unlock the Amalj'aa daily quests, player must complete the level 43 quest Feature QuestPeace for Thanalan. Players can start the quest by talking to Swift in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald.
Best DOH or DOL for summoner?
Or uptime wheb away from the boss with spare mana
All of them
You do them all
Or waste money and cry
request a cat
Leatherworker first for my gear?
All of them
you use it to pull the boss at the start since it is stronger than your shield bash, but usually always under requiescat 5 in a row
4 in a row then confiteor at 80
All of them
5 or so levels each
So now’s a good time to start?
personally i didn't start them at all until after i got to 80
when i had the most gil and resources available to me

Where do I find weaver?
since I started on steam with the free trial. Should I just start over again on square enix with a level boost?
ul'dah, weaver's guild
why would you?
$75 for complete edition on steam. thats just nuts
or I can spend $25 on square enix and start over
that's fine, don't need to level boost though
so i checked ninja and it says i need to be rogue which class do i pick to become rogue?
i dont see any rogue class in starting classes
i personalyl find it more efficient and faster to level all the way back up tbh
but up to you
Do you know if they sell level boosts only up to lvl 60
no
only lvl 70 ones right?
70 only i think
correct
you can pick up rogue after getting to level 10 on anothet starting class
so all my abilities are unlocked and I still get my white mage unicorn?
it was added later in the game's lifetime in ARR so it's not a starting class
Any. You need to do your lv10 class quest for your starting job to get it. Start I. Limsa as marauder/arcanist to get it the fastest
I also just became a summoner: where’s summon III again?
Action and traits
I don’t see it in my actions tab
Omg I forgot the stone
hmm im usually always meele and regret is later because ranged feels just much safer and more dps uptime on mechs i saw some videos that blackmage can do big numbers my concern is you probably need to stand still while casting right?
yup
and a lot of mechanics involve moving around a lot
so it said i received the next job/class quest for mch when i got to 63, but it isnt showing in my HUD anywhere? i dont see it under my MSQ either
which npc do i need to go to? is it a new one?
Black mage can be very mobile when iy wants
Get to stormblood
oh gg
All job quests are locked to their expansion
i gotta finsh HW then, itll still be a while oof
well idk how bad mechs are for meele in this game tbh
BLM has a couple of tools and some procs that allow instant case and movement, but overall it's a class that shines the most where you KNOW the fight, and when to save your movement abilities over all
Just learning the game, and the class, you'll have lower DPS than other classes cause you'll need ot move & learn stuff
The game equally hates everyone with mechanics
its usually like 80% of dps classes are ranged leaving very little space for meele dps players
you can play all the classes on 1 character so just roll a dice
If you're a physical range you're the mechanic boy we're sending out to do mechanics
So we can cater to the melee
well makes sense physical range probably dont have many casts so they dont mind moving while doing dps
There's always at least 2 ranged (physical range + caster) dps in the group
1 melee
Last is a flex dps of whatever people want
so meele is minority still i guess?
no
No
melee is popular
if i could run ffxiv on a low end laptop with the lowest settings with a stable 30 fps (gross, ik, but that's not the point) while walking around, should i expect it to lag heavily once things get more crowded?
You can only have 4 dps in a raid group
And you need 1 of each type of dps for the party bonus
having all 3 gives a big buff
this game you run 4dps 2tank 2 heal?
to stats
or 4 3 1?
Yes
this
most of the time for relevant content
2-2-4 for 8-man raids / trials, 1-2-5 for alliance raids (24-person, 3 parties of 8)
sometimes people go 5 dps and one healer or tank for lower il content that isnt too demanding anymore
but its usually 4 2 2
what's a better stat for monk, determination or direct hit rate?
You get 1% bonus stats per role in the group
So you have 1melee, 1 physical range, 1 caster and 1 whatever dps
i see well im pretty set on being samurai if i get that far into game hope i wont get declined to dungeons for it
Most do double melee cause old habits
I'm reading the job boost things and it says I only get a Scaevan accessory coffer
Is this still true or does the coffer come with a complete set of Scaevan gear?
Full set of gear
also choosing which dps type you want to play has a few broad pros and cons
level boost only finishes the job quest right. so I can still enjoy the main ARR story?
Yes
Yes
Jumped to 70, job quests done and a full set of scaevan
Im level 17, how do I change my arcanist to a thaumaturge? Should I restart and make a new character
melee dps and casters have a lot of damage, but melee needs to maximize uptime against mechanics while casters work on positioning and cast times
You pick up Thaumaturge
go to the thaumaturgist guild
Go pick it up at the thaumaturge guild and equip the weapon
After doing your lv10 class quest
would I be level 1 again?
Yes
Yes
phys ranged is slightly weaker in dps on a stationary target like a dummy but it has permanent uptime and instant casts so no interruptions
Your Arcanist would retain its level
i can already tell i will be active in this section a lot 
Each job levels separately
wouldn't it be easier to just start over since im such a low level
or is it quick to catch up

Other than the Minion of Light as an alternative for Wind-Up Louxoix, what Minions from the Achivment guy in Gridania would you recommend for Lord of Verminion?
What if it's an alt job? 
the one you like
Which is bonus xp for jobs under your highest level job
best way to level a tank is duty finder levelling?
Yes
Roulettes are daily only
so my thaumaturge would get exp boost until it catches up to my arcanist?
Yes
keep in mind roulettes is once a day
queue for that once and then do the highest level dungeon if you wanna grind via dungeon
ok ty
Don't do poetic dungeons for xp
oh no i need 2names well i will be stuck here for a while thinking 
man, the games content seems a lot lamer without min itemlevel
what level can u select job?
people just ignoring mechanics and face tanking
thanks. wanted to swap from arcanist because it feels weak but maybe I just suck lol
tsss roulettes.. YALL MAD WHACK! The true warrior of light gets level 80 killing nothing but ladybugs!
I might get the sub so I can actually privately chat with people who whisper to me. Is this recommended?
all classes feel weak early on
is there a difference in the square enix store between pc (download) and just pc (when you go to buy the game)
would it be better if they added min ilvl as requirement for first clear?
lots of them get power spikes later
when does arcanist feel a bit... better/more fun?
i dont really know much about the game so
ill be real, when you become a summoner
ifrit egi is neat but bahamut egi is your first real "oh damn this class is awesome"
pretty big question for me do i need to pick up every quest i see or is there some main quest line that alone is enough to lvl up?
!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.
and you dont get bahamut till like 70
Demi-Bahamut*
so thats a long grind
honestly i just want to play ast but the arcanist levelling is not fun
i need to hit 50 right?
calamity-bahamut*
30 for summoner
And get to heavensward story
summoner is pretty meh until bahamut i agree 
ARC gets ok at 30. and Fun at 70
pets are just boring
well, doesn't need to be min item level... but people just skipping phases and face taking things they shouldn't face tank-
and healers just randomly healing whatever, not paying any attention
Bahamut summon is the entire reason I picked up SMN on Crystal
summoner is boring till bahamut and blm is boring till fire iv imo
but when you /bahamutsize large 
become monk. YA TATATATATATA
lots of classes dont feel active till later on
but in exchange their later power spikes feel insane
ehh idk what to play haha, seems like i've just been pushing my one spell for an hour and nothing else
guess ill stick with it til 30
your choice fully
yeah
Hopefully endwalker shuffles some skills and makes ot better
if you want i can post wesk albers summoner leveling guide
does the pugilist become more fun towards the end? it was very lame in the beginning and i just gave up on it
if you want
Well see
It gets very fast
drg not getting aoe till level 40 
what jobs do you guys play? Just curious
Much like the rest of FFXIV, everything is pretty 😐 at the beginning and gets continually better
i main blm and drg
Summoner main for raid
cuz i like slow paced classes
were you talking to me here
yes
sure :)
5.3 Patch note: Tri-disaster has been nerfed to 150 potency. This kinda... doesn't change anything.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Summoners how to Summoner properly, without getting too deep into optimiza...
how does bard feel
Bard gets very active later on
if youre a level 50 glad and respec to samurai do you stay level 50 or not?
One of the higher apm jobs
Samurai starts at 50
your glad stays 50
also

yikes
make sure to always have your job stone on
help with motivation to keep playing ?
I have White Mage, Dancer, Red Mage, Samurai, Dark Knight and Astrologian
damnn
I'm currently debating between a job skip on Paladin or a job skip on Black Mage
i mean everyone can have every class
Or job skip both
i think he meant which classes your proefficient in
all classes have a different sort of playstyle
what type of playstyle do you want
deamn
Have to scroll slightly in the pins
How much faster is leveling a second class?
all classes under your max leveled classes have xp doubled
does it stack with begginer buff? cause i have double xp already
but msq is the best way, and thats one time only, so it balances out
it stacks im sure
i see thank you, i'm so far ahead the main quest i'll hit 60 way before i can finish ARR so i'm going to level something else to finish it
oh it runs out?
it doesnt have a timer
http://puu.sh/HYT5m/b02c5a6ac8.jpg does this mean you get more xp when you queue for this dungeon?
oh how sad
Last question for now. Can I do only my msq all the way to max level or will certain side quests be important
if your a healer yeah
to match the healer in need
roulette gives bonuses, and in need gives bonuses
can i powerlevel these somehow? i like gathering
at what level for crafting professions does the Additional actions tab open?
you just need to do crystal tower raid series for shadowbringers
since its integral to the plot
other then that you can just charge through the msq if you want
ishgard restoration
thanks guys
also you need to do the shadowbringer role quests to finish 5.0 msq
Thank you
that also
What's the difference between FATES with a ! and a scary face?
so is there any glamour that makes you look like an actual ninja? xD this will be a strong determinant on whether i wanna try ninja
the ninja artifact armor
arr and hw ones are cloaked type ninjas, while sb and shb are more flashier metalesque nin looks
The fate icons tell you the type of fate it is
oh nice just looked em up thanks
Exclamation marks means it's a npc you talk to to start the fate
The level 50 i115 rainbow set for ninja fits the classic stereotypical look for ninja
Alrighty
How do you make chat window disappear during cutscene
Right click the general tab and it should be an option.
so is transmog a thing? meaning any gear i equip i unlock the look permeneantly as a cosmetic?
Not permanently, but yes
Yes but it's not permanent
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
it's not like wow's
You need to keep the item on you somewhere
aye
How much block rate is equal to 100%?
block rate never goes up to 100%
Block rate is purely decided by the shield and if you’re using actions that buff it
How much is equal to 1% than?
the stats are very strange but generally they even out at higher levels
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Probably whatever a level 1 shield at 80 gives
Stats tiers change every level
Oh wow, lol XD
And block maths is really not important
but the only observation is that they give the same block resist and chance if it's at level
If you use gear intended for your level your block rate and strength are around 20-30%
which is 20% off of all damage total?
Should I focus on Block Strength more or Block rate more or does that depends on what type of class I'm using?
Doesn't matter
Use whatever is the highest ilvl
That's why block maths isn't important
Highest item level is what you'll take
All the time
All Shields give equal amounts of both after a point in heavensward item level
Past like i230
And that part
Well ok, lol XD
I have a question guys, if i want to buy the full game, do i need to buy shadowbringer aswell?
or is that just a dlc for extra things
If you want to move from Steam to PC then yes
this game is amazing but the whole account thing is quite complicated
By full game do you mean starter edition or complete edition?
If starter then yes you need to buy Shadowbringers
What would be the worst job to boost if I haven't touched it before
it says I can't register for another square enix account
and there isn't even an option to delete my old one
I have a 62 SAM so not very much 
You need to make a new one entirely, with a new email address
How do I get to sea of clouds from coerthas, I teleported out of there and dunno how to get back
if i roll on gear and then leave the dungeon before the everyone rolls and i win the roll do i still get the item
I didnt
how does the penalty system for abandoning a duty after it was readied work??
Go to the Skysteel Manufactory
this will sound very stupid but just making sure there is nothing like "sprint" option or anything like that right
And go to the chocobokeep
Go to the Airship people near the AST guild
One of the people there will take you back
So someone said pick whichever that has the highest level.
Does that mean level itself give a increased in stats? So maybe if level 10 has 2 strength, and level 40 has 0 strength cause it use intelligence instead but level 40 will still give better boost in strength cause the level is higher?
Is that how it works in FF14?
You should always attune to aetheryte as you encounter them as a top priority
No.
I see, lol XD
You still need to actually use gear suitable for your class
Highest item level with your jobs main stat
I see :D
Gear is all job/role locked post heavensward
Well, post 50 except accessories
Those get role locked post 60
Do you guys think that support will do anything if i bought the complete edition on 7/16 and not even a week later it goes on sale for 60%. I was searching for sale info before i bought it
I see, lol XD
how does the penalty system for abandoning a duty after it was readied work??
3 strike system
per day? or per what exactly?
If you don’t accept the queue 3 times you get locked out of all Duty Finder stuff for 30 minutes
and when does my strikes reset?
Any extra times past the 3rd in the same day also bring back the 30 minutes.
I don’t know for sure, but I assume the daily reset
are races just cosmetic? And are they class locked?
!daily
Cosmetic
yes, no class locks
ok thank you
What happens when DF pops but you're in a cutscene?
ahh that sucks
I think you can accept during a cutscene? Nope
It doesn't appear over the cutscene
I thought they'd delay it or something so i could finish lol
Some cutscenes are very long which wouldn’t be fair to the others
does anyone know how to deal with error i2501
If you are receiving an i2501 error, this is an error that is triggered by the system to protect accounts. Many actions can trigger this error, such as a slow internet connection, use of a VPN or a public connection (EG: schools or cafes), a possible virus detected on the device, many rapid payments at once, and numerous other actions.
We advise clearing the cache/cookies/browsing data from your default web browser, disable any web browser extensions (EG: ad-blocker), or switch to Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge and try again. You may also try using a smartphone running on a mobile data connection (WiFi disabled). We also suggest resetting the connection (router/modem) you are using to connect to the Internet and waiting a full 24 hours since your last attempt before trying again.
can someone confirm to me if Odin trial actually drops shoes and gloves for warrior?
Are there set bonus in the game? Like the kind of bonus you get if you have head, armor, hands, waist, legs, and feets. Some or all of which with the same name equipped at once.
Are there anything that give you additional bonus like those?
Hope that made sense
no
Awesome :D
is there any button bound to gathering etc or right click is the way?
thx it worked
In combat when I use an ability while moving I sometimes start running towards the mob im trying to hit. Is there a setting that allows me to continue moving where I am moving and use damage abilities without it affecting my movement?
Disable the auto-lock option in the control settings of the character config
is there any way to display my fps in game settings? cant seem to find it
Is there anyway to get The Emperor's New Earrings without a lvl 50 DoH class?
You only need level 15
for fast level up from 61 to 70, what's better, PotD or HoH ?
heaven on high
Hoh
Potd is heavensward content
It was never meant for anything that came after
This includes jobs released after hw
how long takes to level in HoH from 61 to 70?
is it faster than doing dungeons, roulettes and fates?
Time of day, what floors you're doing, what job you're levelling.
All of these factor into an answer I can't give you
is for my friend, he's paladin at lvl 61, and he wanna reach lvl 70
are macros important or must have in endgame content?
Dungeons are probably better for tanks
No for the most part.
Macros are deliberately garbage for combat
Only specific skills benefit from being made a macro
This and even then they're finnicky
Yeah 2nd option if you’re using the movement option that’s based on camera direction

im using character based
should i be doing the side quests for story overall or its just optional quests for people that really want to see everything?
i like story but im scared when i see so many exclamation marks in first city 
so i can skip those no regrets
No.
no, that was removed
so im a lv57 SMN and I want to get to 60 as fast as possible is doing the MSQ the most efficient?(i just started the heavensward MSQ)
you can run it as many times as you want and get one token per run
yes
ok
yes
5.58
literally just a few days ago yeah
yes
less than 24 hours
0:00 GMT is now so you will be freed tomorrow
hey ive just unlocked PotD will i actually be able to find a matched party to do it with or should i try to actually find people to do it with
you can choose to match
mathced parties are fine
they're only necessary over 100 floors
is this a good AOE rotation at level 70? and what do i do when triplecast, manafont and sharpcast are on cooldown in this rotation?
BLM rotation btw^
of course saw
hey, some days ago someone posted an image that was like a "which expansions to buy" or something guide, outlining what you get out of buying just base game, shadowbringers, endwalker. Im trying to find it here but failing at it, does anyone have the link to that?
that's from wesk alber right?
seems fine
cross reference it with the akh morning one one sec
yes it is
