Is change of arms quest part of that story?
change of arms is part of upgrading the relic, not the bozja story
they're separate, but tied
Right
AKA you can complete Bozja without touching the relic at all past the first step
im new playing looking to try out the game, I made an account many years ago, and don't recall playing, or if I did it was very brief... I tried making a trail account but it says im not eligible since I made the account a while back already. If I end up buying the base game on the website, will it still require me to pay the monthly sub just for the base game?
yes
you can make a fresh account & use the free trial.
Yes tho youll have 30 days for start
Ok so with the new patch should I do all the work to get the memories of dying and and such or is their a better/newer way to get BiS
Is here anyone playing on ps4 who started with free trial? If so contact me pls
if i see people spamming "buy gil here, cheapest online ...." stuff in chat, should I report them for RMT? I am not sure what RMT means and I dont want to file a false report, but I assume gil seelign websites are as illegal in FFXIV as in other MMOs
no new ways to do the relic steps, they're just made faster
yep those bots are RMT
I mean was told before, with a trial account you can play for free as much as you want, up to the base expansion right? so wouldn't it be more beneficial to just make a new trial account to test teh game out
Real money trading
How so?
anyone have any idea what the tanks tier as when it comes to damage ?
better drop rate, things giving more materials at once
yes, that's exactly what the "Report RMT Activity" button is for.
Gnb war DRK pld in that order
fight-dependent, but in a vacuum it's something like Gunbreaker>Paladin>Dark Knight>Warrior
Ah so now it’s better to do the the battlefield and not binge raids?
but this is like a 2-4% damage difference

depends on the step you're doing
Yellow/Red/Blue/Green/Gray memories are fastest inside bozja with good groups
Atm this one https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Change_of_Arms
how do you do underwater fishing again?
How do you emote without it telling you that x did something? Like my friend tends to write “X dies.” And uses the play dead emote without it forcing a “X plays dead.”
you find nodes and use your spear gig
/playdead motion
/em insert text here
motion makes an emote play without the text it usually comes with
is there any raid for free trial? (beside the crystal tower)
and /em outputs text as if it's an emote.
Ah, probably a pc only thing then, cause I’m stuck on console.
I might need help with this pls xD
you use the ps4 native keyboard thingie or just plug in a USB keyboard
level 60 has the Alexander 8-man raid series and the Void Ark 24-man raid series.
Oh right, macros
just keep waiting. 
what is the best way to level alternate jobs, both fighting and gathering+crafting
!faq altlvlguide
Yup 
for combat jobs
Is that the Cassle thing that keeps popping in and out
crafting/gathering you level up the exact same way you did for the first one
yep
How many hours a day does this guide assume
it says in the guide
Relic is the BiS for all classes
does the mahjong crash anyone?
And Blade's Fury is the newest relic yes?
Each “day” is roughly 4 hours or so of play time, the exception is day 2. It is roughly twice as long as the others. If you feel it is too much for you for one day I would recommend splitting it into two days and only doing 10 levels each day. (Not including queues)
yea
So is the spwn for the castle any better now?
Ew it assumes you got all these exp boosting items
Ima go back to grinding potd
💪
respawn timer speeds up as people complete skirmishes and critical engagements
so yes
make sure to help complete them whenever they spawn

FCs are mostly a social thing for talking to others
you can try looking in here
!faq communityfinder
My game suddenly is getting this unexpected error pop up on loading from the launcher, 6d error
Tried looking it up but nothing is working so far :/
What have I done to mess up my Hot Keys? Two different bars are now replicating themselves, all I did was learn a new Job and now I can't use my Hot Keys without them doubling?
how many classes can I level with MSQ (and road to 70 buff) at the same time? 3? or more?
sounds like you scrolled hotbar one into a different hotbar
look for a hotbar that has an up/down-like yellow arrows by it and click those until it becomes hotbar one again
you can disable this scrolling/cycling in the hotbar settings of the character config
depends on how much side stuff you're doing like roulettes
Oh wow, thanks lol
but yeah, 2-3 sounds right with the bare minimum of side stuff done
probably just MSQ and any dailies, no side quests or anything
sounds good thank you
I cant rank up anymore with maelstrom but I think I need another rank to get a sweet sweet jacket. How can I level up maelstrom around the lieutenant rank?
you get the entire coils of bahamut raids
My game suddenly is getting this unexpected error pop up on loading from the launcher, 6d error
Tried looking it up but nothing is working
Has this just been a persistent issue for years now? Coz i havent found a proper answer
Never heard of that one 
I had to restart my computer for it to work
And some say it only works once after a restart
Is the registration code from an old copy of ff14 like this still usable?
Yes, but it’s also a common Keeper of the Moon surname shared with some other NPCs who don’t necessarily have any relation to them
1.0?? probably not
worth a try tho
You knew what I was going to ask didn't you
dosent say a realm reborn so should be 1.0
there is also mewrilah and a few others
Maybe you can sell it to some collectors
that are ripped from 11
i want it
though practically unusable
Whether they were related to Leih from the archers’ guild or Jihli from the yearly Easter event
Why do you know who I was going to ask about
Because those are the other two Aliapoh NPCs 
Where does /bread come from
Ishgard restoration
fuck
Skybuilders’ Scrips / marketboard
also like 20k on mb
should be cheap on mb
Could someone tell me which boss theme plays here during min 39-41? https://youtu.be/UWqpRCDDEpY
Point of note: I did not emphasize putting up buffs at the start of a dungeon enough. While the tank is pulling enemies, you have time to do single target attacks while the tank group's allies up. Just be wary of your aggro and spread your hits across all of the enemies until everything is grouped, then AoE away.
New? Got too many skills? Have ...
thats the midboss theme for copied factory
first nier raid
Sorry for the random question... When I hear some nice themes I can't stop thinking about it
Ohh I had a feeling it was related to nier
🅱️ier
Thanks. Love nier tbh. Can't wait to get there now
i know it'd kinda be hard to tell without names, but if i posted a screenine of my inventory (mostly crafting mats) could anyone tell me if i should just junk certain things or horde them all for later?
As 1st time playing healer class, which is simpler: whm or sch? I tried ast earlier and got quite overwhelmed with multitasking
WHM is the easiest
Well it's also german, so i doubt anyone not german would wanna have it
From making sure party is alive, dps, drawing cards, boss mechanic
Ok thanks
Do nier raids go away in some time? Like how stuff from garo is now all impossible to get
I'm about to finish stormblood and wanna get all the stuff if that's the case lol
hey, new to the server but not the game, is the kupo bot spam channel where I can check cross server market board prices?
itd be a pretty big removal if they did removed, so probably no
permament content
Thanks. That's good to know
CLL in Change of Arms drops 5 tokens and not 3 right?
nier stuff are the 3 alliance raids for shadowbringer
Oh wow.. That's pog
yes you can do !market <world> [item] to check MB
yes cll drops 5 loathsome
thank you ^-^
ty
Sorry more healer questions. Is there any preference for extreme/savage contents of which healer class is generally more preferred to have?
Morning guys! Quick question: lvl55 summoner Trial acc cant learn Painflair =x why? i have main story well under way and class quests done
Say i want to fight sigmascape 4 savage, all 3 healer class work fine there?

!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
Yes
You just want to avoid duplicates
Alright I'll try whm first since it seems to be considered easiest
Come back to ast when I'm good enough
Is red mage the lowest dps in the game?
I thought all dps jobs can reach similar max damage output when played properly
Yes, even monk
My friend showed me a list of top 1% highest dps players
Parsed their numbers
All dps jobs seem to be there
No
Good to know, new to the game haha. Just thought something was up cause out of all the raids I played today nobody but me was a red mage LOL
In terms of personal damage that’s probably dancer
But that’s because they heavily buff a specific person
Dancer? Not sam?
They asked for lowest
Thanks for the answers guys :))
Also for dungeons and raids, the duty finder tries its best to make a varied party
Holy spell seems awesome
AKA avoiding duplicates and an even mix of melee and ranged dps
That's really good yeah
Everything makes so much more sense now
It’s why melee dps and ranged/caster dps have slightly different queue times
I guess it should be faster for ranged?
I don’t notice it being consistently faster for one of the two
anyone here uses controller? if so how can i change the quick hotbar between classes ? the one where you hold both triggers
Just hit 80 recently, is there a gearing guide anywhere?
!faq gearguide
!faq controller
you can skip to 510 however if you just buy exarchic gear from the market board
(or make it yourself, assuming you have the required crafters)
thank you!
That hotbar is the “hold” crossbar and is in the custom section of Hotbar settings in the character config
but it doesnt switch with switching classes
It does if you make it look at crossbars that don’t share
!faq balance Just to add to that. The balance has BiS lists for every job, which may help you gauge which slot needs which piece of gear.
So I assume I get Exarchic gear then go for a 520 gear?
Change your settings so it doesn’t borrow actions from a shared crossbar
oh so there are certain ones that are fixed and always sharing?
No
Why do I have a dungeon on my map even tough I haven't unlocked dungeons trough MSQ yet?
You can change that yourself
oh ok thanks 🙂
You can upgrade exarchic to i520
Generally you should try and work towards your BiS, which will be a mix of Augmented Cryptlurker and Edenmorn gear. (Plus ideally the relic for the weapon slot)
But augmenting your exarchic stuff is not a bad idea either
Oh wow nice
which slot needs which piece of gear for your BiS depends on your job however
so check out the balance for details
am I missing something here? all the pathways to the quest marker seemed to be locked doors
Look at your minimap 🙂 you just need to pass the "doted line" with the green arrow
change "zone" or area 🙂
oh thanks for some reason was going by the left map
is it worth reading the the NPC qeust text, or watching cutscenes? heard the story/lore of the very start of game is kinda bad but gradually gets better
Personally, I skip literally everything cause ik if I wanted to watch it all again, I can just go on some Youtube vid and watch it
good point
Also, which quests should I be focusing on doing? the yellow or the red/orange ones on the map?

How do I want to lvl up my new class? i'm currently lvl 13, and next hunt log is lvl 17, so I don't know what to do.
don't see any of those ones on my mini map at the starting zone
will new expansions be ever added to the free trial?
they haven't said anything about expanding the trial
oh ok
so what I do? Ive only done the first story quest, and there are only side quests avialable on my mini map
where can i use this?
do some sidequests in the starting city, they teach you some basics like handing over items, collecting stuff etc plus some give itemlevel 5 gear you'll need later and the exp isnt bad for a brand new character
and then focus on the msq tracker you have under your cpu temperatures
How to get erp in tonberry? Trying to do a speedrun in this server
mor dhona for level 50, then expansion endgame hubs for 60/70
Quick question: do the EXP boni from the FC commands also work on Ishgard stuff?
can i get a better weapon from the reward?
i dont feel like im doing dmg
you can get i130 gear so probably yes
rest of my armour is good
you just need more than 20 poetics
Poetics?
yeah that's the reward
currency from dungs/raids
ohhh
allagan tomes of poetics
icic, ty
with this currency you can buy nice iteams
Hopefully, ive been grinding the game for 4 days straight
Is the ishgardian restoration still a thing? Meaning can i farm exp and items/rewards there? Or once its finished theres no way to get it all?

It’s permanent content
i got to element lv 48 via reflect method
should i just fate spam now cos the xp i get is very minimal from reflect
Yes
i c
how much should it cost me to unlock all 56 logos actions? if i only do via the mb?
can i ascend to dragoon after i hit level 30 then once i reach ishgard become a dark knight?
Yes
i spent close to 200k for reflect
you need to hit lvl50 / reach heavensward to unlock dark knight
You’d have to check your prices. And it also varies due to rng of what mnemes you get from the fragments
so i can still go from dragoon to dark knight?
yes
gimme a guess
Any job can unlock dark Knight
after unlocking it, you swap weapon to change class
so its better for me to become a dragoon now
Yes
Is gladiator a good starting class that’s easy to play for a new player?
It’s a tank, so there’s a bit of responsibility to it
But tanks as a whole have easy rotations for the most part
I’d say so
Subjective
Tanks look fun in this game though going to try it out
what did past make it rain events give?
When can yr mounts fly. Im already lvl 50
'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/

what do i do with dungeon loot i dont need?
Sounds complex
just pass on it?
can always sell it to like, generic merchants for 100gp
What would be an efficient way to farm Wolf's Marks? i'm kinda horrible at PvP but i really want the hairstyle and some of the armor sets
ok ty
Spam frontline roulette
Gotcha, guess i'll do that.
Average wait is more 30 minutes currently, darn. Guess that's what i get for playing on an American server from the EU
Playing here because most of my friends were here. sucks when i want to do some queuing around noon my time though.
guess i'll try it in the afternoon again
hii can someone help me
when i move abilities on my hotbar 1 they both duplicate and move to the same spot on hotbar 2
and if i remove them it removes them from both
best time of day 🙂
If i have exarchic gear, tomestones of allegory are next to useless outside of crafting mats?
Thank youo 🙂
you cycled your hotbar 1 to hotbar 2, either through the arrows you've hidden or through a keybind
do buffs in LoV stack? like wolf pup. or is it only one active at once
thank youu
I don’t think identical buffs stack, even if from different minions
is there a way to get HQ fishes or just pure luck
So wait
If the destruction of the original ffxiv is canon and ARR takes place in the future, could ARR reasonably be considered Final Fantasy XIV-2?
xiv 2.0
that's how it works
The skill Patience and the related hookset skills are your best method of HQ fish
damn only have sneak rn
!action sneak
…I’m assuming fisher gets it at the same level
is there any real point to do crafting and this kind of stuff with lvl 55 character? Or should I wait with it until im 70+ ? (aka access to places to farm important materials etc)
Not particularly, unless you already found yourself items that you can sell for consistent profit on the marketboard
do food buff countdown when I'm offline?
Yes
I got bamboozled rip
grand company is locked behind msq correct? which one? i overleveld and now 21 with 15 msq...
also is it locked with the first city you choose or you have a say in it?
Freely choose
oh i see thank you
does resistance reraiser work in DRS or does only lost reraise work?
Can't say, probably best to ask in here https://discord.gg/S8c4jbuASv
this is one of the bigger servers related to Bozja info
alright thanks
all of a sudden 'm' doesnt open the map but opens up some weird signs window
might have shift/alt/control held down accidentally.
shift m or ctrl shift m are default keybinds for waymarks and markers iirc
ok so weirdly enough after i pressed on a quest to show it on the map, the key started working again
kinda weird but whatever
where can i get that fate tracker thingy? read about it
to farm MGP is doing challange log/Gold saucer + daily scratch enough ?
or am i missing something big
well it depends on how much you want
but challenge log and the cactpot tickets are a good amount of MGP
there's also the fashion report which is up to 60k MGP not counting the event's bonus MGP

If I've waited over an hour for PreOrder Items, should I wait longer? I see nothing in the In Game Mail
I think that's the Shared FATE system? it's for fates in shadowbringers zones.
60k 😮
oh okay, thanks!
have you pressed the "Request Delivery" button on the mail menu? that can sometimes speed it up
and you might need to completely close the launcher and log back in for the preorder license to be recognized by the launcher
Yes a few times, it goes back to White and nothing shows up
How exactly do I get the The Emperor's New ___ set?
It does, there's a seperate UI Notification when you ReLaunch
Do I have to reinstall the whole game? It seems that I have a bug on The Paradigm’s Tower. When we ||became small plane and shoot that core|| there’s no bullets(?) animation
marketboard or level up any crafter but culinarian to 15 and go back to the NPC you unlocked glamouring from
Ok thanks
I feel like you are probably standing up dancing with the emotion of He-Man as you answer the questions, spinning around in a room that's basically a rave
Can I visit other datacenter
The best way to farm with WHM at lvl 19 is the dungeons right?
Hey will the l 80 poetic gear be 520 or 530?
And will it be instantly avaliable when the expansion comes out?
not sure if I should waste my time farming cryptlurker gear or just level up side classes if its just going to go poetic
whats max gear score
Sooo... Now that I got into endgame content I wanna focus on crafter/gatherer jobs. Any good resources or guides that can walk me thru it? Kind of seems like a lot
530 and will be available around new expac’s release. Dont want to say immediately but ye, immediately
#doh-dol-lounge 📌 has guides
The best way to farm with WHM at lvl 19 is the dungeons right?
farm what?
Lvl
Because witht he limitations it take a while to get cryptlurker to 530 so feel like runing all those raids is a bit meh
As main job?
!faq altlvlguide
Main job is msq
not yet
crypt is 6 7 months old now; and is already powercrept by the relic so can try that
Very specific question but there probably aren't any 1h axes for warrior right? The intro cutscene is all a lie right?
not sure what cutscene you're referring to but no one handed axes
Maybe a 1h axe glam for paladin xD?
and if there were, it's a relic of 1.0/early 2.0. some classes like whm/blm had wands
none exist
Yikes, a true shame
no
I want to be efficient with my poetics, I have completed HW, what should I buy to avoid capping?
I'm currently 1900/2000
poetics gear for other jobs or passively spending on relic materials if you're interested in HW/ARR relics
anyone know how i can check my pending ticket on the SQ site?
thanks rose
Hey homies, I have an NA code for ffxiv and i messed up because I have an eu account, would anyone know the best way to swap with someone with the same problem but reversed?
can someone identify this sword for me?
looks like there's a silver version of it on the right, too
which one are you referring to?
oo nice
no idea
is tomestone gear tradable?
no
damn
for seals?
then no

thats a sad boi face
the only use for old gear is go equip your retainers > level Desynth > GC seals
if i just didnt make myself broke id buy him some gear
barely has the item level to do SoS lol
what is SoS
5.3 trial
weird name, how does SoS stand for 5.3 trial
seat of sacrifice
OOOOH

Where is the Battlehall
duty finder, gold saucer tab
Is there no way I can get a Shire weapon without the augmentation? I wanna experience what it was like back in ye olden days XD
How do I add someone who's on a different world but same DC?
visit them with world visit and add them through the chat window by clicking their name
Jesus christ, I'm an actual smoothbrain. Felt so dumb when I looked up how to world visit 😂 Thanks!
How does gear work in PvP? Do stats all get normalized?
gear doesn't exist
so everyone has the same stats?
everyone of the same class has the same stats
different classes have different health values
Ah ok cool. And how good is the class balance in PvP?
beats the hell out of me I think ffxiv's pvp is awful lmao
It doesn't
Question about battle effects setting. Does 'others' include other alliance members and enemies?
I'd like to see full effects for enemies but not alliance
Because at limited, I realise I dont see the light effect for 'looking into the lights' on prae ultima weapon first fight
Someone wasn't listening when the gameplay gave them instructions
it would probably help if you gave full context
I don't really know what I'm looking at
I recognise the vanguard model and it had the INVULNERABLE pop ups
I see
what does the bonus in choco race give?

how do u get to la noscea?
do i have to do anything special to redeem emotes purchased on the online store?
continue with main scenario quests, around level 15 you visit the other starting cities, including limsa lominsa in la noscea
no just wait and the moogle postman will have them
you get an item in mail and you have to consume it to learn it
Thanks guys

i usually can't really micro manage while playing MOBA games
and fairy in the middle of the arena is usually enough management too
am a fresh lvl80 CUL and was wondering if handsaint gear is better than aesthete set, i've been getting conflicting answers on google
Hey just instealled the game for the first time in a few years, i have a bunch of level 60s, to keep progressing do i need to buy the expansion now?

rip
should i be using those teleports for gil? i have no idea if its expensive or not but for my current gil it kinda is
you'll keep getting enough gil from the story to cover basically all the teleporting you'll do
does anyone know how you get a custom ff status on discord?
the one where it says which world you're in etc
right-click yourself > change nickname
what about the "favored location" up to 3 of them can be selected
you can move those at any time
can i change those 3 whenever?
yep, no cost to moving them
oh i meant like when u click on someones profile it says that theyre playing ff but like in detail? instead of just the ffxiv icon
if you get what i mean?
like discord rich presence? it's a custom launcher plugin
ye thats what i meant
quicklauncher dalamud launcher whatever its called officially
ah ok
so if you login from there do u get a custom status automatically?
detailed status more than custom i guess
no, it allows you to isntall some plugins through a /xlplugins chat command and the discord rich presence one should be in the list
ahh okok
can anyone dm me how to get from ilvl 171 to 180 ?
i have been following MSQ
and now i cant to a dugeon due to low ilvl
buy i270 gear for poetics in idyllshire
@green grail do u know which specific plug in it is?
Do your job quests for 210 job gear and buy 270 with poetics in idyllshire
Job gear will always give you the ilvl to enter the final story dungeon
I redownloded ffxiv on a new computer but all my keybindings ,saved appearnces, sets are gone but when i log back onto the other computer its all there is there any way i can transfer those stuff ?
is there a lfg channel on this dc?
ah is the discord rich presence dw
Either manually by copy/pasting your character files in My games > ffxiv or by uploading your settings to the server on the character selection screen (do both character and system) and download on the new device(s)
Can someone help me, I'm new to final fantasy and I want to get better
I'm really having a hard time, I can't get the "My little Chocobo quest". I'm have initiated "Sylph Management" and double-checked and have not completed the Chocobo quest. Anyone have any ideas?
It's tracked under the main scenario tracker top left
You buy the issuance?
Click it and remember to buy the item from the quartermaster
Hmm okay, will try it out, make sense. thanks!
Yes
Not one that will offer dailies
oh?
The ones in that zone that offer dailies are on the bridge by the south
that kind of icon is more used to label a "stronghold" of a beast tribe
where there's a bunch of enemies of that tribe
It's more of just a lore/worldbuilding thing really
Think of it in literal terms as a hostile fort hanging a flag.
i've recently ascended to dragoon but what does it actually do?
It's an upgraded Lancer
You should only be dragoon from now on, lancer is irrelevant.
so what are the benefits of being a dragoon
More skills
Jump
you get a bunch of new actions from your job quests
More abilities
i see
so is there a way to know where the dailies beast tribe resides?
and how do i get dragoon armor?
job quests
after you ascend your starting classes to their jobs you must NEVER take off their soul stone
^
guys, is subscription based on time or day?
mm Nastrond 
oh ok thx
not without unlocking the beast tribe
day
wad time does the day start?
will MSQ uncover most or all of them?
beast tribes are all optional
Yes Prime, the only exception is the moogle dailies
they're a bit more convoluted to unlock
what happens if i do remove the soulstone?
most you need to do sidequests to unlock
You revert back to lancer
forever?
You’ll meet the tribes, but the unlocks are blue quests
Noo.
so if i enter the code at 11pm my time, it expires 1059pm 30 days later?
you just put the soul stone back on to become dragoon again
oh ok
hmm afk for 15 mn and system auto logs me out ? anyone else seeing this ?
Normal, they put it in to help with the servers being bombarded with new players
server overload mitgation measure
btw people say i can become anything in 1 single character is that true?
Yes you can
how?
yes, 1 character can level all the jobs
Your class is based on the weapon you're wielding
so if you unlock gladiator/paladin

is there a limit to glamour item
What do you mean Feeder?
The glamour chest can only hold 400 items if that's what you mean
you can't use glamours that the class can't normally wear, and the glamoured item can't be a higher level than what you're wearing.
that's what i meant and thanks
the endgame content for ff14 requires u to be max level or can i still enjoy the game after the MSQ being level 60
if you want to do current endgame content you need to be level 80.
previous expansions have their own "endgame" content for their level caps (50/60/70)
oh i see
so i can enjoy the free trial expansion content
thx alot for all the info guyz
each multiple of 10 after 50 has its own 'endgame' which you can play as it was back then at minimum iLevel. Its hard to find groups though
mabye ill find free trial players for level 60 content
use the party finder or communities like reddit to search.
aight thx
With the monthly fee is there a set fee for aus players or is it whatever the Eu fee is converted to aud?
i just free trialed to 60, all spare exp can be used to level another job
kept me entertained over 2 months FREE
gonna activate to start SB now
too bad when i started free trial was still up to 35 only, so i maxed out to 35 before i bought the game
Is ishgard restoration still a thing? Can you still get rewards from it once its finished? And is new game+ already in game? I had a short break from the game
Yes
Don't get too excited about NG+ btw
I get it as "Yes to all"? xD
It doesn't offer anything other than the ability to replay the story.
Yes to all.
Just wondering, luckily i remember the story :D Thank you for answers
did you register the starter edition/complete edition?
@next portal you need to buy the game, but not any other subscription than the first 30 days you get
So you can do it only within these 30 you get for buying the game
how do i ensure my frd gets the recruit frd bonus off me
hey everyone, im new in the game i just reached 30 on my conjurer how do get to be a white mage ?
He gets one rewards immidiately so youll know

!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
So, I saw someone talk about leveling trust npcs, is that something that gets aviable later down the road, and not from the get go?
What ilvl does the arr poetics go up to?

I'm still not joining a FC, and any advice on how I can join one? Hopefully, I can make new friends who I can go daily roulettes, because I don't any friends in this game.
Thanks. I keep hitting a point in hw where instances are to high for me. So I’m gonna go farm for poetics
Yeah, I unlocked trusts already, but as I did a 2-3 of them and saw no noticable change in npcs, I was wondering if it's something for later
For some reason I can log into my FFXIV account normally on the launcher with the OTP but not in mogstation?? i need help
try taking a look through the community finder
!faq communityfinder
Can I look through it in the game?
Community finders? No
@verbal rune afair they start to get exp right at the start but it Takes few runs to level them up and I believe they cant get higher Lvl than your highesy one
The website is good though
Quite easy to get started and the filtering tools are great
Uhm, I see
I have a few jobs at lvl 80, so that's not the problem
Might take some times I guess
I'm also wondering how people are making friends in this game. I've been playing all contents from dungeons to savages, but I still have no friends at the moment.
Oh yeah. As long one job is higher your others will get bonus xp
First level Takes like 4 dungeon runs if it wasnt changed
Have you added anyone?
@leaden ginkgo literally just talk to people in cities, i made tons of friends this way
Honestly you just need to talk to people
There is no way to check the progress, no?
Just throwing emotes around and Talking about random things
Yeah, for playing deep dungeons, but after we reach top floor, we never take contact with each other
@verbal rune in trust window they should have their exp stated under names
Go to limsa. You find peeps
I'll keep that in mind. I talk a lot, but we usually just say bye after playing savage/extreme/bojan contents
Makes sense. A lot of those people are there for content and that’s it. City people are just hanging out. Best chances there
Try to join some FC with discord
If someone can get the biggest xiv stream by eating thousands of in game eggs you can make some friends
After I find some at community finder, how can I approach them?
Usually they have there discord or say just add and message me
I usually just typed in area chat that im looking for one XD never really used community Finder
The person's community finder listing should have listed ways to contact them
either in-game or out of the game via means like discord and twitter

where can i see my Job skills after i ascended?
I cant get this quest done
In a ward
Im looking at the map of the area and there's no red area to go to either
i cant abandon it
@noble saddle same place where you found class skills, there will be new group
i dont see anything there
complete the levequest it gave you with the quest
should be a level 40 levequest in northern thanalan
Equip job Crystal from armory first
ah ty
i dont see any job crystal in my invent
The bottom of the right side
It should be in last tab of eq inventory, the one under rings
it's in your armoury, below the 2nd ring slot.
oh the soul stone
Yup
i was supposed to equip that lol
lol thx guyz
aight thx for the advice
is 400 item level the max i can get at level 70?
yes
i can only unlock skills up to level 60 with free trial right?
yes
Yup. Had level cap at 60 tho
@noble saddle but unless it has changed, you will have more skills than you see right now, cuz skills from job quests are not visible there before you get them
They’re visible
does the bonus EXP i get from leveling other classes depends on the level of my max class? so the higher level my highest class is the higher the bonus EXP? (hopefully my question is clear)
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
I think this should answer
oh ok got it, thanks
where can i find my next job quiest?
!faq msqtracker
if i preorder Endwalker, do i receive the EXP bonus earring right now? and how does the earring work exactly?
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
How to stop someone from stalking you?
Does FFXIV tend to get pissy if you use a VPN?
Yes ish, not immediate but soon. Servers are currently ablaze
yes, and only works on monster kill experience
Report them. GMs take this stuff serious.
i saw the same thing on reddit but the quest below MSQ is gone
whats the level and item level of the earring?
You can search up anyone in a world & see where they are
@noble saddle you need to reach level required for next quest, then itll appear
!item menphina's earring
scales to level 80, maxing out at i430
Increases EXP earned by 30% when level 80 and below. Attributes and item level vary according to class/job and current level when equipped.

As in, bans, etc.
What level are you?
only when trying to register the game, usually. in which case it just throws an error code at you.
am juz 31

i guess ill need to be like 35 for the next one

are all mounts obtained from whistles and horns? the only exception is the flying chair?
what are all the mounts you can buy in the market board?
No, but they'll keep thinking it's a strange login and ask for you to change your password
UNLESS you're using 2fa
- No
- Craft ones I believe
Whistles, horns and keys
There's also a magic bed
Go to the Miscellaneous section and look for the item called "Zu Horn"
that's the start of all the tradable mounts
Can't remember if that's tradeavle
ends with Golden Mikoshi, IIRC
How to hide from others stalking you ingame? Any options to set private?
so (name of mount) key
A 50 million gil mount
u use that u get a mount?
do note you need to have unlocked your company chocobo first to use other mounts
no shortcuts for early mount use
How to hide from others stalking you ingame? Any options to set private?
best you can do is a name change, though even that doesn't work if they know your lodestone ID
And again, report them to a GM and give as much info as possible.
Ok thx
Where is the quest to unlock glamour?
!quest If I had a glamour
might be covered up by a quest called "Color Your World" which unlocks dyeing
Thanks
what does that even mean?
what do you get when you unlock "glamour" and what´s that for?
I think its like transmog
it's the transmog system of the game
i guessed that much, but wasnt sure, thanks for clarifieing
i guess right click the name maybe @broken star
it's not really rmt activity
ctrl + right click on the map
sure
350 hours of game play i just learned that today lol
How do I find the ilvl for a specific piece of gear?
Whats with all the people on /busy at the MGP mini-games
350 hours in this game is like "tutorial completed" so no worries
I get people want MGP but why specifically is there like a billion people on busy for it
hey, is it possible to do a mouseover macro that casts on self when not mouseovering anyone? and also wouldnt post error messages in chat?
The returning ff15 event cost mgp last time it was around
not one that works good.
where i can buy dyes..black one
I know, its the massive amount of people on /busy standing around though that I'm wondering about
Market board
Bots, or what?
People just want to make the most out of MIR
thats a damn shame
I havent closely followed the changes coming in next xpac, but are there any plans to make the macro system good?
nothing said about macros
doubtful
since macros are very much intentionally not good because they don't want people automating play
if i am on the free trial, and i reach level 60 before finish the MSQ, does any EXP i get is wasted??
yes
well, thats sad
I wouldnt care too much about it tho, when you play on newest expansion you waste it just the same way
Dw, there are tons of different ways to get exp
Heres a question fitting for this channel name
@lyric rapids You okay there bro?
Health check

would be better asked in dms, cos this channel is for 14
Yes
Droprates same?
great design mentality
why even invest in the feature being there at all then
because there are some uses for macro
Crafting macros
I mean, it depends on your definition of what makes it a "good" system to begin with.
macros do bunch of other things like "Custom" emotes, ASCII Art, UI macros
but making macros for gcds are very intentionally bad because they don't want you being able to put your whole rotation into a macro
and just pressing that
changing system settings on the fly
you can get a workaround for mouseover macros over in #healer-lounge
i mean, out of all of the macros healing macros are the lowest offenders
since healing in general is going to be done mostly thru ogcds
so while its not amazing, you can do it
that said, you should learn how to get more comfortable with manually targetting
is it possible to have two targeting lines in a macro?
there's plenty of time to target a player, press heal and then retarget the boss
your opinion is valid, but im here to learn about macros
you can have to different targetting styles in one macro, but generally because of how macros are you should ideally only have one type
what do you mean ideally?
and basically have the macro line maxed out that command
so for instance
if you want to make a cure macro. should basically look something like this:
/ac "Cure" <mo>
/ac "Cure" <mo>
``` repeated until 15
Is it possible to land rear attacks in solo open world content without the use of cc?
how do I repair my EQ
since macros are slow, and can easily break, having 15 lines makes sure that the macro goes off properly
Talk to a merchant & mender npc
@leaden ginkgo true north
what do you mean break?
no idea what that means
so having two styles of target like
/ac "Cure" <t>```
just adds more clunk to it
It is possible to land positionals, but takes some finicking and is honestly not worth learning
macros can't queue
so if you press it and then press something else, its very easy to stop the macro from going off

how do you farm meteria ?
I mean i land side positionals fine since the enemy turn speeds are generally quite slow, but the rear ones i can only really land once i cc
@leaden ginkgo you have positionals. You have an action called true north dont you
do you mean I can interrupt casts with other macros?
Or is that just samurai
The monsters don't have "turn speeds" so to say
They will turn to the side and back just as fast
for example if i have Bene1 and Bene2 in different macros, spamming Bene2 could interrupt my Bene1 macro if pressed early?
Don’t have them in macros
it won't interrupt it per se, it just has a chance of not registering that you want to cast it
Its more like anything and everything will interupt macros or halt them from activating
o.O i cant even tell if im landing positional bonuses or not lol, i was told theres a certain glow but my char always glows when i use spells
It's honestly not worth bothering with for overworld mobs, they die easily enough
So it wont send server the information or?
@leaden ginkgo in open world the only way to land positionals is either to stun opponent
Or wait for him to start casting
How frequent are discounts/sales? Im thinking of upgrading to complete edition now, but idk if i should get shadowbrings too since I just started (lvl 60 WHM) and might take a while till I reach that stage.
Oh right...this whole time ive been thinking ive landed positionals when i havent been xD
Its not that important in open world tho
thanks
so if you press benefic 1 and then press benefic 2 shortly there after, the game generally recognizes that you queued benefic 2 after 1. since macros can't queue, the game won't start casting benefic 2 after.
so you could press the macro thinking you started the cast, and press something else and then the macro never goes off
No, you can land them without stuns, but you basically have to be center of its hitbox and just tap the movement button to go to said positional and then click
because the game is like 'oh you wanted to do something else, not the macro'
And if you're unlucky with server updates not even that is guaranteed
if you aren't on ps4/5 you can buy it now on sale and use the code later
ohhhhhh ic ic cool!
learning how to get comfortable with manually targetting ensures you know your casts are going to go off properly and in a timely manner
i didn't know it was a code thing.
wait im dumb shadowbrings is included in complete edition
since macros also have an inherent delay on them
@cedar dune i was about to say that xD
I was thinking endwalker. But it's not discounted lmao XD
And The price for complete edition is basically the same as for single expansion
So there is no reason to wait really
Unless you want to do full content before continuing the story
I understand what you mean, but not everyone is physically able to constantly perform such tasks, which is why im trying to figure out ways to perform healing role without excessive mouse movement
you can also use the f1-8 keys to target players
dont have those on my keyboard
can always rebind the settings
ok, this is no longer constructive, thanks for your help

There is nothing constructive about attacking the system that we cant change
Is your account in mogstation the same as your square-enix account?
Macros cover only basics and thats it
@cedar dune no, you can link them but you have to do another one for se
oohh ic ic
I understand that, but i dont see how trying to find ways to use them is an "attack"
not sure if this is the right channel but.. for the verminion tournament it says 'rule: only monsters'.. i've been using everything except monsters until now, is there a penalty or something?
man buying the game outside of US/EU/JP is such a massive pain
no worries, it was pain in EU too
Huh
Can you still upgrade the game from mog station?
ahh nvm lets try buying via paypal
man this is taking forever (relatively) to send the code -_-
How long till the complete edition is on sale? Wanna upgrade but after I finish HW msq
can anyone tell me which officer i should join Serpent, Flame or storm as an archer main?
doesnt matter
no difference at all ?
are you buying from the square enix store?
go with whichever you think is cooler
I saw on a website until August 18? https://www.siliconera.com/final-fantasy-xiv-digital-editions-on-sale/
Yeah
the main differences are their location and elite armour
there's a huge difference storm is the coolest one because they're in limsa
then you can buy it now, and redeem it later
how can i check the armour they have then?
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
ty kael
I can do that? Was afraid the 30 day free trial will start immediately after I buy
Yeah, when you buy from the square enix store, you get a code that you redeem
Are levequests important ?
also, the 30 days are not for the free trial, but are free days after registering starter edition or complete ed
they're good for leveling crafters and gatherers, but beyond that no they're not important for combat jobs
@leaden ginkgo important no, but fun to do when you dont spam them and if you care about achievements
And ofc what Kael said
dont....spam them?
Hello everyone, I made a character progress tracker (raids, trials, etc.).
It quickly allows you to see the raids and others that have been cleared or that remain to be done, or even the remaining mounts.
I thought it could be useful for everyone, I wasn't sure where to post it so I did it here (sorry if it's the wrong section 😓)
