[leaden ginkgo]

why is there always so many people here? i've tried this minigame and it seems so difficult, unless there's a way to cheese it?

[faint flare]

It's a case of git gud

[warm snow]

It's the most efficient mini game in terms of payouts

[leaden ginkgo]

oh okie tenk u

[solar ice]

How hard is it to find a group for ultimate raids if ur a first timer lol

[leaden ginkgo]

do they keep trying for the primal one?

[eternal lance]

What level is hw msq?

[warm snow]

Not too hard, unless you have 0 savage experience in which case they'll probably tell you to get lost

[teal orbit]

Ultimate Uncoiled is a discord that's aimed at helping people prog ultimates

[warm snow]

50-60

[teal orbit]

I think that they can help

[solar ice]

Oh so is savage harder than ultimate?

Sorry

[teal orbit]

No lol

[warm snow]

Opposite

[solar ice]

Other way around

[warm snow]

Casual content < extremes < savage < ultimate

You also have to clear savages to unlock ultimates

[leaden ginkgo]

ultimate is harder than savage but they expect you have experience with savage

[warm snow]

But they're all old tiers so they'd probably expect you to have cleared the current tier

[faint flare]

Has to be steam

[solar ice]

Is getting into a group doing savages for the first time gatekept by having extreme experience?

[warm snow]

Not really

[slate arrow]

when you sign into the full game launcher I believe it should

@leaden ginkgo

[warm snow]

But it would be worth getting experience with extremes before savages

[leaden ginkgo]

nah, but it helps having done extremes

[teal orbit]

How long does the tankbuster debuff last?

[warm snow]

Depends

[faint flare]

Depends on Fight

[slate arrow]

depends on the fight but around a minute or so

[teal orbit]

Does it outlast your invuln timer

[warm snow]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[slate arrow]

yes

[teal orbit]

oh

[slate arrow]

Invulns are 10 secs at most

[teal orbit]

uncleansable?

[slate arrow]

yes

[teal orbit]

okay I get it

[solar ice]

Is there a link somewhere?

[teal orbit]

they have a site

not going to post invites here

[warm snow]

Invuln is the only way to cheese a high end tank buster without a gross item level advantage, and even then that's only on extremes

And Ruby feels like about the limit of that

[teal orbit]

isnt that tank very vulnerable to everything even after he tank swaps?

[warm snow]

No, usually just physical damage

[slate arrow]

not all tbs do debuffs

some it's just Explosive damage

[warm snow]

Which is mostly just auto attacks

[teal orbit]

Ah ok and mechanics are often non-physical

[warm snow]

Except for when they're not

[gritty oracle]

Does the ninja's speed boost trait work in gates?

[slate arrow]

You don't have to invuln all TBs just most of em

[warm snow]

Icicles on e12s are physical

[fiery helm]

when im first starting out should I be focusing on magic defense, or defense as gladitor?

[slate arrow]

@gritty oracle yes

[gritty oracle]

ty!

[slate arrow]

@fiery helm both

[warm snow]

Item level

[fiery helm]

ya, but I got a quest reward thats -4 magic defense, and +4 defense

[warm snow]

Item level

[faint flare]

Take whatever is higher item level

Arr gear is wack

[slate arrow]

once you get up in level gear will have both in equal amounts

Just take the higher item level one for now

[shrewd cradle]

does the rested EXP scale? did I waste all my rested exp on a lvl1 job? :(

[fiery helm]

so if quest gives me gear that is same Ilvl than what I currently have I just take the money instead?

[slate arrow]

@shrewd cradle yes, yes you did waste it. It happens

[warm snow]

Probably

[shrewd cradle]

this sucks, I really had a good amount saved up........

[warm snow]

Fuck you autocorrect

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'

That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

[leaden ginkgo]

are the allied beast tribe quests important? because I can't figure out what they are or how to do them

[unborn fern]

Is there a way to change my name in ffxiv or is that impossible

[faint flare]

For $10

On mogstation

[faint flare]

They give additional rewards like a emote or some glamour. You need all beast tribes of that expansion max rank

[shrewd cradle]

24hours is max??

I thought it was few days to get to the max

not as bad

[leaden ginkgo]

how do you access them? I can't find them anywhere

[faint flare]

all beast tribes of that era max rank

Then the quest shows up in whatever area it spawns

i was curious so I glanced at the ps store, why does the canadian store have two shadowbringers collectors that are different prices

https://store.playstation.com/en-ca/product/UP0082-PPSA02954_00-C0EC030000000000/

[leaden ginkgo]

I have been looking at that link and I cant seem to find the "call of the wild" quest

[faint flare]

Error!

Quest not found Kupo!

[faint flare]

Dumb kupo

[fiery helm]

should I enter this instance at level 6? https://prnt.sc/1gbugoe

[faint flare]

Yes

You're meant to

[fiery helm]

oh ok thx

[faint flare]

The level sync is the highest level you can be in that instance

Incase you're overlevelled

[fiery helm]

is this like a instanced solo dungeon?

[faint flare]

Not dungeon necessary

Just a solo instance

[fiery helm]

ah okay

[leaden ginkgo]

I have to do like 5 other quests to unlock this one other quest?

[faint flare]

Those are the quests from the other beast tribes

As I said

You need the beast tribes

Of that era

At max rank

Which involves doing those quests since those rank you up

[leaden ginkgo]

okay but I don't know how to do that

[faint flare]

To the final rank

[willow sparrow]

man the voice acting realyl leveled up in HW

[faint flare]

You do their dailies

[alpine shadow]

apparently PPSA is the PS5 version and CUSA is the PS4 version?

[faint flare]

Then do the rank up quest when you're maxed

[obsidian agate]

why would the ps5 version cost more though

[faint flare]

See your reputation in the reputation tab of the character sheet

[obsidian agate]

since the upgrade is free

[leaden ginkgo]

their dailies?

[warm snow]

New voice actor agency

[alpine shadow]

i have no idea, probably regional pricing are different

[fiery helm]

at roughly what level do side quests become not worth doing?

[slate arrow]

yes

[warm snow]

Yes

[obsidian agate]

its the same region

im not swapping between regions

[warm snow]

If anything they don't become even slightly worth doing til shadowbringers

[tight mango]

What's the general advice for tweaking the UI for abilities?
Is there a go to mod or do you simply adjust it in the settings?

[warm snow]

Adjust settings, we don't need ui mods

[tight mango]

I just hope the abilities don't get WoW level of bad of overwhelming the hotbar

[warm snow]

The game is built for controller too and I can play every job with that

[tight mango]

Nice

So I should not stress myself over optimising the layout with combination like ctr+number, alt+numb etc.?

[spiral inlet]

is there a white scrip guide

anywhere?

[slate arrow]

Just do the highest level one. Lemonade is the recommend scrip craft

[leaden ginkgo]

one of them is for the ps4 while the other is for the ps5

[spiral inlet]

for gathering?

[leaden ginkgo]

and the free ps5 upgrade is for people who bought the game before the ps5 came out i think

[slate arrow]

oh uhhhh idk I don't do gathering scrips lmao

[spiral inlet]

oh

can you get away

[slate arrow]

No it still applies I think

[spiral inlet]

with just buying the green gear then?

[slate arrow]

Yes, green is better due to overmelding

Total stats after melds will be higher than white even lightly melded

1-2 overmelds

[obsidian agate]

Yea but there isn't two separate versions for shadowbringers base or starter edition

Or endwalker collectors

Only shadowbringers collectors

And the ps5 one costs more

And only in canada

[slate arrow]

regional pricing shenanigans

Yell at Sony

@sudden dock for the MSQ? 15-20 hours for the base expansion, 3-5 per patch

Endwalker will be significantly chunkier though and I'd estimate it to be 30-40 based on dev comments

no, like 4.1, 5.3, etc

3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 is the "base" expansion

[obsidian agate]

its not regional pricing

[slate arrow]

Ask SE

[obsidian agate]

theres two versions of the game on the same region with different prices

[slate arrow]

We can't tell you why the price is different

Please don't ask us

[obsidian agate]

its not different on different regions

its the same region

same collectors edition

different prices

only for the collectors of shadowbringers

[slate arrow]

please stop

[obsidian agate]

not endwalker or base game

im confused

[tidal matrix]

How important is it to max GC rank?

[slate arrow]

@tidal matrix not very

[tidal matrix]

Should it be a MUST early on or can i save it for later

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I access the Triple Triad deckbuilder?

[rustic flare]

Hmmm. Looks like I am stuck on the quest "Shedding Light on the Myth" forever. Which after I have completed all of my crystarium deliveries. My miner is getting close to level 80 and they only thing that stands in my way is that quest. Which sadly I cannot even complete.

[obsidian agate]

only thing i can see is that ps store is fucked up and they have two different prices for discerably no reason, and its only in canada

[tidal matrix]

Thank you, so i can start doing it later on? Im level 50

[ocean axle]

is it possible to queue up for another duty with same team?

i got a duty party on raid and we want to do turn 2 with same party

[leaden ginkgo]

Should I use the Allagant items to get all of my gear from now on??

Or at least to get gear for where im at in the story

I just finished the ||Castrum dungeon|| in ARR and it says these things can give me better gear

[warm snow]

Poetics tomes are used to buy the best gear of old expansions

You can spend them in mor dhona

[faint flare]

Poetic gear lasts 5 levels into the story

Lv55 story and dungeon gear will replace it

[neon fog]

Whats the most efficient way to farm wolfmarks, how many do you earn per daily and per que after daily bonus

[leaden ginkgo]

can you queue for raids normally or do you have to do party finder for them?

[faint flare]

Normal mode content you can que

[warm snow]

Coils of bahamut raids or savage raids no, everything else you can use duty finder

[faint flare]

Any high end content you party finder

[rustic flare]

Here is the comparison of the perception, on the left is the required perception my miner I need to have, but on the right is my current perception on said miner. I need to get it to level 80 and complete said quest. Only a select and hyper ascended few has ever completed the quests after completing the crystarium deliveries.

[crystal hawk]

Hey is it possible to change data server xD? I think my friends and I are on an inofficial french server haha

[neon fog]

you have to pay for a transfer if its data center to data center

[faint flare]

Normal quality gear is fucking garbage

[warm snow]

I can answer that, for money

[leaden ginkgo]

So stupid question and no idea where to ask it. But when a Cinder farm has a description, what in the world is "no rotate"? Is it really simply just rotating CW for melee uptime?

[faint flare]

That's really hurting your gear

[faint flare]

Means you don't rotate to give melees the short lines

Aka they're an asshole to melees everywhere

[leaden ginkgo]

do I have to do the coils of bahamut?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

what do they unlock?

[faint flare]

Nothing

[rustic flare]

No High Quality gear I need to get all around?

[hollow gate]

Is labyrinth of the ancients crystal tower?

[faint flare]

Your weapon and chest

Mainly

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks. I've actually never run into a group that does that, description or otherwise. So it confuses me when that's specified.

[faint flare]

It's the first of the Crystal tower

There's 3 raids in total

[rustic flare]

So the rest of my gear is, not terrible?

[faint flare]

All your normal quality gear is terrible

[warm snow]

Honestly idk

[faint flare]

You shouldn't be using NQ gear posy 50 really

[warm snow]

Cuz we can't recognise everything by icon

[open ember]

I say NQ is fine for leveling but

By 80

You should be in HQ

no matter what

[rustic flare]

That's what I was doing. Leveling my miner.

[warm snow]

Could do your gc dailies and/or a leve or two to push you up to 78 pretty quickly

Leves are excellent for crafters and gatherers

[rustic flare]

And of course. I have completed a few leves in the Crystarium which get me 3-4 levels in a matter of hours.

[leaden ginkgo]

https://i.imgur.com/vV3dfBP.jpeg

how do i go here

[dire prawn]

I'm pretty sure you don't

[gritty oracle]

Go back to the aetheryte plaza and follow a tunnel underground

[rustic flare]

As with all leves, it cost leve allowances.

[leaden ginkgo]

It's down below

[faint flare]

Go north directlu from the aetheryte

Don't go up stairs

[gentle fog]

what is the fastest way to lvl a alt (Conjurer)

[leaden ginkgo]

See that little arrow next to the quest marker? That means your objective is below you or down

there where do i go

You went upstairs

You go downstairs

[warm snow]

Follow your map the down arrow on the icon means its below you

[gentle fog]

thank you!!

[warm snow]

So you went the wrong way from the start

[abstract parcel]

is there a market board in eulmore

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont have my minimap enabled. i dont like it

[warm snow]

No

[faint flare]

Never is in endgame hubs

[abstract parcel]

[warm snow]

Same icons there on the map you have open

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont see it on this map

[solar bison]

what are side missions i should do that skipping doesnt do for u

[leaden ginkgo]

is this where i go?

Yup

[warm snow]

[rustic flare]

And my miner is currently level 76. If I can complete all of the leves, including the ones that are unlocked. I should be able to hit level 80 no problem.

[warm snow]

Probably

[crystal hawk]

oh and what about changing the world?

[warm snow]

Leves are vyster

[warm snow]

Same difference

[faint flare]

Full transfers to anywhere is paid

[warm snow]

All duties/parties are cross data center anyways

There's just going to be more French fcs where you are

[rustic flare]

Getting to level 80 is one thing, but finding anyone to make said HQ gear will be another.

[warm snow]

There's always marketboard

[neon fog]

become a DoH main

[faint flare]

HQ gear really isn't hard

Just find the macro

[north sigil]

can anyone help me with the sub

[warm snow]

Buy the vendor nq gear use it craft hq version and go from there

[rustic flare]

@warm snow yes. but it will be expensive to do so.

[warm snow]

You'll get plenty of level cap tomes from the 2 lv80 roulettes

am I able to join a guild, as a trial account, and talk in guild chat?

[hollow glade]

I asked this in endgame chat but ill pop it here too. Is it okay to hop into Normal Eden blind as a tank

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there anything important story wise in ARR 2.3-2.55?

So tedious might start skipping convos

[faint flare]

Yes

Very

[warm snow]

Kinda, only msq, levelling and alliance raid really give good exp

[tulip zinc]

Yeah that's where the meat of ARR is

[faint flare]

It's the set up for heavensward

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh bet

Fuckin finally

[warm snow]

2.3-55 js where the actually important stuff us

[leaden ginkgo]

2.2 was meh

[warm snow]

Crystal braves setup before that is a drag

You'll get a good payoff for it in 2.55

[leaden ginkgo]

Bettt

[warm snow]

Depending on how you look at it

[warm snow]

Yes, but if wipe be prepared to listen for pointers

[faint flare]

Just dodge the telegraph bad and follow people

[warm snow]

Normal is still casual content so it's not that hard anyways

You do have tank privilege so you're harder to kill

So you'll "get away" with more fuck ups

[leaden ginkgo]

https://i.imgur.com/ShKgnNA.png ik this is an aether current but like what does it do from the quest i mean. like does itgive me htem from this area? or wut

[hollow glade]

Went through E5 and both me and other tank were new to it. One of the healers asked "tanks to be tanks" and at the end asked to pass on loots since we got carried by his heals

[tulip zinc]

Don't go in blind if you plan to main tank tho

[hollow glade]

I just don't know how to feel about that

[alpine shadow]

yeah, the green crystal wind thing is an aether current

[warm snow]

Sounds like a dick

[sleek needle]

The sims icon

[leaden ginkgo]

im aware... but what im asking is, does it give me all the ones for this area so i can fly? or wut

[sleek needle]

Not a physical item you get

[alpine shadow]

no, it only gives you 1 out of 15

you need to check your aether currents list

[sleek needle]

You need 5 from quests and 10 currents to pick up iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

i didnt say it was a ph1ysical item @sleek needle

[leaden ginkgo]

where do i check that

[alpine shadow]

in the bottom right

Travel -> aether currents

[sleek needle]

Well you asked if it was? Otherwise sorry, misunderstood your question

[alpine shadow]

you should have gotten a compass in your key items inventory, you use that to find aether currents in the world

[leaden ginkgo]

https://i.imgur.com/WWXnjAP.png all others are done apart from these 6?

also says this but how do i know which direction is north and stuff

[alpine shadow]

check your minimap

[stray carbon]

click open map

for directional

like a compass

[leaden ginkgo]

@stray carbon

where indicators

[warm snow]

That's because you bought a story skip

[faint flare]

Top is north

[warm snow]

Like most maps up is north

[pearl mesa]

Is there a way to get my craft list to show everything in a certain category (DRK weapons, shoes, etc.), not just what's in the recipe book/level subset I'm looking at?

[alpine shadow]

ah, story skip unlocks aether currents?

[warm snow]

Yes

[warm snow]

Drop down menu at the top

[chilly dirge]

Is there a way to make sure my tank stance never switches off? I think it switches off when I go into instanced fights/dungeons but I'm not too sure?

[leaden ginkgo]

i didnt story skip, i just found them naturally without realising what they were.

[finite topaz]

Are the unreal trials unavailable except leviathan? The wiki is a little unclear

[primal ermine]

Weirdly the quests for aether currents are still around, at least they're for me.

[proud willow]

Nope, that's tank life

[alpine shadow]

sadly not much to do there, bad game design

[warm snow]

No, it'll turn off when you synced

[chilly dirge]

rip I see, thank you

[alpine shadow]

yeah, side quests should still be there, but the rewards you can't get

cause you don't skip side quests with story skip, right?

Triple Triad: Can I win a card from an NPC that says 'card not on list' on it's reward pool?

Guys im at a gear progression wall, I cant continue story quest until I have all level 5 gear.. missing a helmet of ilvl5 whats easiest way to get?

[faint flare]

Because you get a 1% stat boost

Per role

[alpine shadow]

abilities like stun

[faint flare]

1% all stat up is pretty big

Plus physical range are the mechanic bitches

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh yeah that’s op

[faint flare]

We send them to do mechanics so melees don't have to

[fiery helm]

how do I offer an NPC a quest item? aka potion. It's not in my inventory

[leaden ginkgo]

Can’t casters do the same tho

https://i.imgur.com/JIzofkr.png how dufuq am i meant to get that

[faint flare]

They can

But it's more awkward for them

Due to cast times

[primal ermine]

Jump down from a higher place

[faint flare]

Climb higher up the tower and drop down

[warm snow]

Be creative

[leaden ginkgo]

oof suicide time

Aight so why is Dancer considered the best physical range? It buffs the group n 1 partner but don’t other jobs like Bard just buff the whole group better?

you need all currents in the area to fly right?

[primal ermine]

yes

[faint flare]

Giving 1 guy a permanent 5% damage buff is pretty good

Bard buffs are smaller

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh bet

So what ppl really consider meta rn is a physical that buffs ( Bard / Dancer ) instead of a melee buffer like monk?

[faint flare]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[leaden ginkgo]

Cause i don’t see Minos very often

Monks*

[faint flare]

That's what they consider meta

is it possible to do a full raid with one team at one time or i really have to do all the parts with breaks and with another ppl? xd

The Binding Coil of Bahamut

there are 5 turns that are really fast to do but waiting in queue is a pain

[rancid mesa]

How do i hide my gloves from appearing in a glamour set

[alpine shadow]

i don't think you want to queue for coils

you want rather to pf it.

[leaden ginkgo]

you buy the invisible gloves

[rancid mesa]

where from @leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

marketboard

[rancid mesa]

okay ty

[faint flare]

If you manually invite people then you can stick to the same group

[ocean axle]

oh great well i can't cuz of free trial xD and im broke af rn so buying game is not a solution too

[rancid mesa]

how do i access the marketboard and how much are they

[faint flare]

Look for synced discords

[leaden ginkgo]

oh wait apparently these npcs sell it?

idk i never bought those items

theres a marketboard in every main city

[primal ermine]

They're in the major cities like Limsa and depends on the server for the prices. fyi people like to buy vendor gear and price them much more expensive to fool people.

[tender merlin]

does buying the expansion after heavensward ( which im assuming is the expansion which is included on the free trial) give a free 30 day? or do i need to buy a 15 dollar monthly sub as well as the next expansion to continue playing?

[faint flare]

Expansions never give game time

[alpine shadow]

you want to buy the starter edition to get the 30 days

then buy the latest expansion

[faint flare]

You need to buy the starter edition to use dlc

[alpine shadow]

or, so called, complete edition for all

[faint flare]

hmm i went to Goberin and he only sells prism's

[faint flare]

You need a Lv15 crafter to buy the emperors set

[hollow glade]

buying gear off the mb, should i buy 2 of the same rings ?

[faint flare]

Crafted rings aren't unique

So you can wear two

[hollow glade]

Exarchic are crafted right ?

[faint flare]

Yes

[hollow glade]

Okay thx u

[faint flare]

Make sure it's high quality

[reef turtle]

Can i pay my subscriptions by Steam Wallet ?

[faint flare]

Otherwise you're wasting money

[faint flare]

If you're a steam account yes, it's an option when setting up the sub

[reef turtle]

But you pay the subscriptions the same way you pay in the client ?

[faint flare]

Yes

[reef turtle]

You have to buy subscriptions in the site ?

[faint flare]

Mogstation handles all account stuff

Including sub

Oh ok, ty!

[dull valley]

does Meat and Mead FC buff allow you to go higher than 60 min on the food buff?

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[verbal rune]

Btw the ||Lyna|| armor version is exclusive to npc?

[modest laurel]

Hello! I just now noticed for the first time that my ilvl is not enough for one dungeon. My earrings and bracelet are the really low ilvl gear, which I rarely seem to get upgrades for those spots, including rings. Is there some easy way to improve those gear slots for me right now as a lvl 50 Arcanist.

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[alpine shadow]

you can buy ironworks rings?

[verbal rune]

Oof

Hate to see it

[faint flare]

Just do your job quests and equip the i90 gear given In the chest providef

That alone gets you into castrum and praeotirum

[idle juniper]

which disciple of hand job is recommended to start on first? i wanna try doing ixal tribe quests

[faint flare]

You get proper accessories afterwards

[modest laurel]

hmm ok, will try for that then. RIght now my ilvl is just 39 so I hope I get some upgrades soon :p

[faint flare]

You're like i49 or higher with the i90 gear

[sick tinsel]

They’re literally all intertwined:^0

[modest laurel]

ok nice to know. thx for the help!

[faint flare]

You can buy full i130gear with poetics after castrum and praeotirum

In every slot

[idle juniper]

oh so it doesnt matter which one i pick?

[faint flare]

You should do them all

[sick tinsel]

You basically have to do all of them except can get away with not doing fishing and CUL

[idle juniper]

hmm ok

[sick tinsel]

Unless you’re gonna constantly buy material from the market board to level

[leaden ginkgo]

do people ever run eden's gate/eden's verse

or only focus on eden's promise

referring to savage raids btw

[silver ruin]

promise mostly, you can try throwign up a pf for the other 2 but its not likely to fill nearly as fast

[left whale]

Feels like people not doing cul and fishing is why certain materials from desynthing fish are so flipping expensive

[faint flare]

Not really... Only E4 and 8 for mount occasionally... Maybe some e1-4 for TEA gear but otherwise no

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

Not as combat classes

They’re much better experience for crafters and gatherers

yo anyone knows how to fix this ?

Can u do MSQs when u visit another server?

[faint flare]

Yes

You can do basically everything

Except access retainers and do housing

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh bet

[leaden ginkgo]

Are you trying to install the game, or is it already installed?

im trying to install

[vivid bane]

about how long does getting the shadowbringers relic weapon take?

[leaden ginkgo]

Try restarting your PC. If that doesn't work see if windows has any updates

i already did both

[cosmic plaza]

Should I use duty finder for coils?

it seems like it will take hours

im in a 30 min queue and someone said that no one queues for that

[faint flare]

No

Chances you'll gear is drastically low

[leaden ginkgo]

Try doing a clean boot of the game. Open the task manager and select the "start up" tab. Disable everything and restart your PC

[zenith halo]

anyone available to help and Q up?

[cosmic plaza]

im item level 108

[zenith halo]

My first time

oh :((

[cosmic plaza]

Can i queue to the same as you?

im not on chaos

[zenith halo]

Any crafter set?

[primal ermine]

That's light datacenter

[faint flare]

Any

[zenith halo]

Is that bad?

[primal ermine]

There's no bad datacenter but your role is chaos

[zenith halo]

Ye i picked whatever sounded cool to me. I have no idea what any of it means lol

[agile laurel]

as good a way to do it as any other

it makes no difference

[primal ermine]

Yeah, seen plenty of people choose chaos for the memes recently.

[agile laurel]

well, as long as you're not picking the wrong region's DC

[fiery helm]

but this levequest, gives me earrings that are 4 item lvl higher than what I have

[zenith halo]

I picked light i think u know

as in the server

wait idk what im on about

[primal ermine]

But yeah just change your role to light, red = chaos and this light blue that I have is light

[obsidian patio]

Yes, but in terms of experience they’re not great

[leaden ginkgo]

why exactly?

[willow sparrow]

When I click on Aether Currents tracker thingy, does it show me what quests will give me an aether current?

[obsidian patio]

And the item reward is random

[zenith halo]

Can I change it whenever?

[faint flare]

No but they're always blue

[obsidian patio]

Nope, but in general they’re and

[faint flare]

With 1 being story

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[cloud frost]

any idea on this quest? (a royal reception)

[leaden ginkgo]

besides isn't microsoft visual c++'s the problem

[obsidian patio]

Equip the item you were given

[jade quartz]

Btw all mounts are capable of flight once flight has been unlocked in the area, there is no distinction between “ground mounts” and “flying mounts”

[obsidian patio]

Should be a pair of boots or earring

Level 15 or so

[leaden ginkgo]

It's just temporary. Close them all and restart your computer, then see if it will install. If it behaves and actually does install you can go turn them all back on

[fiery helm]

this game is super fun, but the mini map, and the different zone maps sometimes make finding quest markers confusing

[leaden ginkgo]

if it doesnt?

[jade quartz]

You can click on the blue objective text under the quest name on the quest sidebar

[potent talon]

What’s better for MGP King Elmer farm or the chopping wood one? I’ve been doing Elmer for a couple of hours and managed to get 58 Godbert and 36 Bahamut cards

[jade quartz]

That immediately opens the map showing where it is

[leaden ginkgo]

We look at changing the microsoft framework to see if that's causing the issue. Just have to rule one thing out at a time unfortunatly

[obsidian patio]

King Elmer is super consistent, but the Mining/botany mini game can be big money if you’re very lucky

[potent talon]

Hmm I like consistency better than luck so I’ll probably still to Elmer then!

[leaden ginkgo]

i cant disable avast do i temporarily delete it ?

[dull valley]

how do I turn this off permanently?

[leaden ginkgo]

It should be safe to leave it be, at least I hope so. I've never used avast before, so I'm not sure if you can disable it

[alpine shadow]

should by just pressing "No"

Alrighty, we move to the next step. You can go ahead an turn all your startup stuff on again. Reinstall these starting from the newest, should be the visual studio 2015, 2017, and 2019 one.

[twilit arch]

you have 4 attempts, however you don't get more rewards

[fiery helm]

what level is first group dungeon?

[stray dawn]

once per week, i think for reward

[cinder maple]

Like if i didn't do well the first time, and then i did better the second time, will i get the full reward after or no?

[twilit arch]

ye if say you got like 65 the first attempt, you can try again to hopefully get 80+ to get the 50k for 80pts

[cinder maple]

ok thanks

[fiery helm]

anyone know what level I unlock dungeon finder, and what level the first dungeon is?

[dim marsh]

how do people normally complete gc delivery missions? do you just buy the items from marketboard or

[twilit arch]

can technically unlock duty finder at lvl 10 with guildhests, but generally most are going to unlock at lvl 15 in the main scenario quest with the first dungeon Sastasha

[obsidian patio]

if they look like a good price to you, sure.

[leaden ginkgo]

what the dog doin

[mighty cliff]

Hey guys - Chocobo racing breeding question, I'm DESPERATE 😢 ! I read some breeding guides online that recommend breeding ur chocobo with coverings 10 times (max amount of times) then choosing the best statted fledgling then ride it to level 40, breed it etc etc. But how the heck do you compare multiple fledglings for the best stats? You can only see the parents' stats until you register it am I wrong? And once you register it you have no choice but to ride it until level 40 and retire it?

[twilit arch]

depends. if the item is fairly cheap buy from marketboard then i'll buy it from mb, otherwise i'll look at the mats and either buy mats or gather them and make the item

[leaden ginkgo]

no idea whats this stuff

what now

[dim marsh]

alright thank you

[dim marsh]

sounds good thank you

[teal orbit]

Why is ARR a slog to play through compared to the later expansions? (havent played any)

[obsidian patio]

ARR is worldbuilding

[teal orbit]

what mistakes do HW etc fix

[teal orbit]

the complaints are from a gameplay standpoint iirc, not specifically a story one

[obsidian patio]

HW compresses the questing down a good amount to have less overall quests

HW patch story, for example, only has around 40 quests

and the HW leveling story is around 100

but that's also because HW only has you going through 10 levels of story instead of 50

so it's not a fair comparison in that aspect.

[teal orbit]

Are the quests also more fun in general?

[obsidian patio]

Generic Fetch quests and simple go here to kill things become less common

[obsidian patio]

highest average stars, IIRC

[ripe hound]

In general, the time it takes to level from 50-60, 60-70, 70-80 feels about the same right?

[obsidian patio]

though that also relies on the stars of the parents of the chocobo

[mighty cliff]

So it would only be one fledgling right? Because you know the highest average stars before breeding

[jade quartz]

Only parentage stats matter

[ripe hound]

Sometimes 70-80 can feel even quicker because Bozja?

[jade quartz]

No

[mighty cliff]

Idk why guides are saying to compare fledglings, like how

[jade quartz]

Soo q

[obsidian patio]

probably to not use ones with dumpster stars for leveling.

[alpine shadow]

wtf are you telling them to download, don't let them install an IDE

[jade quartz]

The stats that are passed on are the parentage stats of each parent

[leaden ginkgo]

I fucked up on that, misread it

[mighty cliff]

I know that, I just dont know how guides say to compare fledglings

[jade quartz]

Each fledgling will have a different parentage stat spread

Hard to type this out in mobile but I’ll try

So

[mighty cliff]

ya but you dont know the flegling's OWN stats before registering it right?

[jade quartz]

No but they aren’t the stats that get passed on

[mighty cliff]

I know but 😦

My question is this

[jade quartz]

Long term you want to be breeding for better overall pedigree

[mighty cliff]

When you have the fledgling registration form, it ONLY says the parents' stats

[jade quartz]

Yes

[spark silo]

hey, quick question. Once i unlock dark knight, do i get a starting set for it? or should i start saving up lvl 30~ish DRK gear for it already?

[mighty cliff]

which you already knew before breeding them

[jade quartz]

No

That’s not how it works

[prime stump]

I died and accidentally hit wait. How do I get back alive?

[mighty cliff]

so why would people breed 10 times for the "best fledgling" if they already knew the parents' stats?

o it's not? <.>

[jade quartz]

So first off

[alpine shadow]

https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe is what you want

[jade quartz]

Disregard all the chocos’ actual stats that they use to race

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

[jade quartz]

Each parent has a pedigree of stats

They’re basically their genes

[leaden ginkgo]

and its the first time someone refers to me as them haha

[jade quartz]

So

[fiery helm]

how can I get to the quest icon just south of me? the way in front of me is blocked off, and the way to the east of me is housing plots .. https://prnt.sc/1gdg4r9

[leaden ginkgo]

You can go ahead and help them then. I think I'm too sick to think straight

[alpine shadow]

if it neither does not work, try then installing xivlauncher, cause its not behind a weird installer

!faq xivlauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[jade quartz]

Chocobo 1 (father)

XXXXX | XXX
XXX. |. XX
X. | XXX

So from here the father

I’m not gonna write out all five stats cause mobile

[obsidian patio]

Go to Western Thanalan and south of the small settlement right outside the gates to ul'dah

[jade quartz]

Those are its genes

One set inherited from each of its parents

[leaden ginkgo]

can you explain to me what exactly this is

[jade quartz]

And then the chocobo it’s breeding with has its own double set of stats

So between mother and father

[alpine shadow]

alternative launcher, unofficial though. releases -> download -> setup.exe

[jade quartz]

There are four sets of stats

When they breed

[leaden ginkgo]

any chance i get scamazed ?

[jade quartz]

Each parent randomly passes on one out of the two options for each stat

[alpine shadow]

it is pretty trusted, and you can see the source code if you are paranoid.

[leaden ginkgo]

bruh i don't even know what a source code

[glacial lodge]

does this actually give you all 4 parts of the game?
https://gyazo.com/6ea25fb2c12c71db5f050a42d6ba2b24

i saw this before and wasnt showing a discount but then the one above has a discount when going through different part of the website.

https://gyazo.com/65a2b3fb109145f1c7928308682be7f1

[alpine shadow]

yes. same site, that site probably not updates by how much per discount is, but only lists original price.

[jade quartz]

Chocobo 1 (father)

XXXXX | XXX
XXX. |. XX
X. | XXX

So from here the father could pass on

XXX
XXX
X

Picking randomly from either side for each stat.

[shrewd cradle]

anyone know what to do with 2k tomestones if I'm content with my gear?

[jade quartz]

Those become the fledgling’s stats inherited from its father

The mother will also pass on random stats from either side of her own pedigree tree.

Soo the fledgling ends up also having two sides to its pedigree tree

[visual ore]

My apologies for interrupting ,if I need help to do an Extreme titan, where should I ask for help? I've been waiting for almost 40 minutes ;-;

[glacial lodge]

thanks!!! about to have lot of free time in august and figure try out this game sine been hearing about it lately. played it originally when first came out and didnt get hooked but i now got some friends who might join.

[jade quartz]

When you register the fledgling it’s actual racing stats will randomise from the two sides of its pedigree tree

But when it breeds it rolls again

[leaden ginkgo]

@alpine shadow btw do you have any idea what might have caused that problem

[jade quartz]

Basically despite what stats a chocobo used to race, when it breeds it can also pass on its other genes which it is still a carrier of

[mighty cliff]

omg this actually makes sense thanks so much for explaining this to me

[jade quartz]

It’s a weird approximation of irl genetics

[cinder maple]

For the fashion report, do you need to score 100 at least once before you can get the 80 score rewards?

[jade quartz]

Like, a choco can pass on its “recessive” genes.

Sorta.

[alpine shadow]

it is a runtime error for the installer, which is a bit weird, but happens to a few. i'm guessing something is broken, completely uninstall the redis and install it again should probably work.

[cinder maple]

I'm following the guide on a new character but the score is super low, even with the exact same gear?

[alpine shadow]

it's just for the installshield installer though

[jade quartz]

Phew I was thinking “I’m explaining this very badly” lol

[obsidian patio]

poetics or allegory/revelation?

[leaden ginkgo]

the what

[alpine shadow]

thing does not work, thing breaks

or idk how to explain it good

[shrewd cradle]

regular poetics, like old content

[mighty cliff]

Ya this explains why the coverings don't have information on their own stats... because the parents stats of the fledgling are random too

[obsidian patio]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[alpine shadow]

i don't have quite the answer myself either

[mighty cliff]

I thought it was literally just the parent's stats from when they were registered

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont get the ''redis'' part

[jade quartz]

That’s why when you look at your chocos actual race stats some are blue and some are red

[alpine shadow]

redis = redistributable, the thing that windows system uses

[leaden ginkgo]

hey! is it possible that i lost two of those leveling gear items, those that give you x% more exp when you are below lvl x? ><

[jade quartz]

Telling you which ones came from which side of the pedigree (father/mother)

[alpine shadow]

common things that appliactions in your machine uses

[willow sparrow]

Are Aether Current unlock quests always the blue ones with a plus mark?

[leaden ginkgo]

i got no idea how to uninstall and reinstall that

[obsidian patio]

yes

[lyric rapids]

does the EXP bonus earring that comes from preordering Endwalker will work even beyond level 80? and beyond level 90 for future expansions?

[willow sparrow]

Thanks

[obsidian patio]

no

they only work up to the listed level

[amber patrol]

anyone here have the road to 70 buff? it’s my 91st day of playing but i still somehow have it. any idea when it drops off? i assume it’s what isnt letting me transfer homeworlds

[obsidian patio]

and also using them past their intended level is bad since they're very weak when you're done leveling

The Menphina earrings max out at i430, which is baseline for level 80

using them at and past 80 is not good

[lyric rapids]

i see, thanks

[mighty cliff]

Someone told me that it's "either 90 days or when Square Enix decides to take it off, whichever number is higher"

[amber patrol]

😭 i just want to transfer servers to be with my pals

[obsidian patio]

you shouldn't be able to toss them, especially if they're ones from preorders or the RAF system

use /isearch to find them

the Brand-New ring, if that's one you lost, can be earned back by redoing the last novice hall exercise

[vagrant crescent]

So my friend is trying to download the game. He has 2 storage, SSD and HDD. He has no space in SSD so his trying to get it in HDD instead.

exe file went to HDD file. He clicked on it, then accept and without even telling him to change file location it somehow tried to download it in SSD I guess. Cause it says there's no space so couldn't download

Any idea on how to fix that?

[obsidian agate]

oh nice its the lol xd man from the dfo discord lol

[alpine shadow]

he would have to uninstall it, and run the install executable on to the new drive

[vagrant crescent]

Oh wow, lolXD

[leaden ginkgo]

idk what the RAF system is but i tried /isearch for the aetheryte earring i think it was and i couldn't find it, do you get two of those 4 items really late? i'm currently lvl 71 and missing 2 of them

[split ore]

did you do the endwalker pre-order soryu?

[alpine shadow]

since the game should install on the same path where the launcher is installed on

[leaden ginkgo]

no, is one of them of the endwalker preorder?

[obsidian patio]

menphina is the endwalker EXP booster

[split ore]

no just double checking a thing

that specifically

[leaden ginkgo]

then maybe i'm just missing one and will get it at lvl 80 or something?

[split ore]

nah

do /isearch aether

[leaden ginkgo]

oh >.<

[split ore]

and stick the results here

[jade quartz]

If you can’t transfer and still have the buff then you have miscounted the days

[leaden ginkgo]

@alpine shadow yo brother can you explain how to uninstall the redis and install it again

[obsidian patio]

Helm of Light +20% (up to level 10)
Friendship Circlet +20% (up to level 25)
Brand-new Ring +30% (up to level 30)
Ala Mhigan Earrings +30% buff (up to level 50)
Aetheryte Earring +30% (up to level 70)
Menphina Earring +30% (up to level 80)

[alpine shadow]

search "Add or remove programs" in your settings / search bar, and click on all the programs that has something called c++ redistributable and press uninstall

[obsidian patio]

these are all the EXP boosting equipment

[split ore]

@leaden ginkgo do you have a mail icon

[leaden ginkgo]

nope, no mail

[leaden ginkgo]

is this safe by the way?

i only have that friendship thingy and that brand new ring

[split ore]

but to double check

[alpine shadow]

it is safe, but are going to install the redistributable again

trough the link i sent you before

[leaden ginkgo]

ok also this happened

i just wanna lvl my archer to become a bard and play music for people >.<

[split ore]

you pre-ordered shadowbringers @leaden ginkgo?

[leaden ginkgo]

no i only started playing like 2 months ago

[alpine shadow]

wrong username or password? try logging into mogstation

[split ore]

then you won't have it

[alpine shadow]

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[obsidian agate]

just login again usually means that the OTP password you put in from your auth changed when you entered it

[leaden ginkgo]

ah so was it only obtainable by preordering shadowbringers?

[split ore]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

alrighty mate

[split ore]

same as how the mephina one is from pre-ordering endwalker

[jade quartz]

It’s true that Road to 70 lasts until 90 days have passed AND the world is no longer preferred. No NA or EU worlds are currently preferred however, so the latter condition doesn’t apply.

But also, the lock on server transfers only lasts 90 days no matter what. The part about the server still being preferred doesn’t apply to the transfer lock; it’s separate from the Road to 70 buff conditions.

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah me and my too complicated password

had a problem for a moment

ok so it's normal that i only have that friendship thing for my head and that brand new ring?

[split ore]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

ah, ok, ty!! ^^

[split ore]

the aetheryte earrning basically doesnt exist for ya

if that helps you understand it a tad

[leaden ginkgo]

[obsidian patio]

I think you need to scale the base UI of the game through the system config in display settings

[neat ermine]

ty

[fickle plume]

are fishing tackle like crow fly and floating minnow that are "manmade" consumable or do they last forever?

[cinder maple]

Does the make it rain campaign also include certain gold saucer items being sold at a discounted price?

[faint flare]

Yes

At the campaign attendant

[obsidian patio]

[fickle plume]

[urban breach]

Is anyone else having trouble logging in? Lodestone isn't even loading for me. 😦

[still ingot]

Hey I need hel

Help

[jade quartz]

Tackle can potentially be used hundreds of times but if your line breaks (can happen when you fail a reel) you lose it

So get a couple

[still ingot]

I just finished patch 2.4

And I'm having trouble getting to 2.5

Return to the Waking Sands and there you should find the next quest after Ifrit

[still ingot]

Okay

[jade quartz]

Type /me in chat

[willow sparrow]

About to unlock my first HW flying area as the MSQ takes me out of the zone :I

[obsidian patio]

that's basically what it does for all expansion zones

[willow sparrow]

oh

[obsidian patio]

[willow sparrow]

ooh

these currents are a lot easier to get than I expected

[fiery helm]

anyone know where to go for this quest? it wont let me track it on the map https://prnt.sc/1gdzj58

[obsidian patio]

do the levequest the quest gave you

[willow sparrow]

Where can I look up items and quests?

[vapid nymph]

can i somehow hide low lvl side quests from map?

[leaden ginkgo]

so i did a quest that gave me ||ifrit egg i think|| but it doesn’t pop up for me to equip is it bug or what

[narrow jay]

there should be a second quest tied to it, with a green circle on your minimap

completing that levequest and turning it in will complete the one you linked

[leaden ginkgo]

do you mean ifrit egi? its a summoner skill

yea that

wait so only summoners can use it ?

you are playing summoner right?

nope

it was a quest my guild thing gave me

what class are you playing, arcanist?

oh

i thought that was something so i didn’t equip it

thx u

[vapid nymph]

can i somehow hide low lvl sidequests from map? like im lvl 21 seeing lvl 1 quests

[fiery helm]

[leaden ginkgo]

nah

[vapid nymph]

[leaden ginkgo]

nah x2

[warm yacht]

Any way to raise mount speed in eureka?

[obsidian patio]

guildhests are like mini-trials that try to teach mechanics

[obsidian patio]

unless SE retroactively added a riding map, then no.

[warm yacht]

uuuugh really

damn

[fiery helm]

so are guildhests worth doing?

[obsidian patio]

nope

they give bad experience

and their roulette scales HORRIBLY

[fiery helm]

damn seems like most of the content in this game is not worth doing lol

[vapid nymph]

when will i finally get mount? im lvl 21 and im still using sprint on cooldown to get to places

[obsidian patio]

!faq mount

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[obsidian patio]

level 20 in the story

[nova karma]

I know the chest itself isn't sellable but are the contents able to be bought on the marketplace

[obsidian patio]

no

[nova karma]

ok ty

1 of a kind

[fiery helm]

so where do I get my first dungeon quest? I am level 16 and completed all non side quests and story quests up to this point

[slate arrow]

do more story quests

[indigo epoch]

Returning after a long time away and for some reason I can’t find my older gear I used to have. Checked my armoire, dresser, retainers etc etc. did the item search and came up with nothing. I looked the item up and can’t even see where I can get it outside of my level 60 Dragoon quest (Dragonlancers’ Mesail). Anyone know how can I get that helmet back?

[azure sun]

Any macro gurus here? I was wondering how advanced macros could be

Specifically if I could make a macro to combine Flood of Darkness and Edge of Darkness as dark knight
For example if 2 or more targets, use Flood, if only 1 target use Edge

[slate arrow]

Wdym by advanced

no

you can't do conditionals

[azure sun]

Aw

[brave nebula]

Hey anyone knows what level HW starts at?

[slate arrow]

You buy it with centrio seals in foundation

[azure sun]

50

[slate arrow]

50

[brave nebula]

Thanks

[cinder maple]

Should I just buy everything then? What about the upcoming ffxv event? I remember the car is from gold saucer, will there be anything else in the ffxv event?

[sour spindle]

i just got done with dragonsong but idk how to access stormblood plz help

[azure sun]

So then what macros can do are
1: write chat
2: use ability

Can macros do abilities in succession?

[slate arrow]

You're not done with Heavensward yet

[random girder]

they can but dont do it

[slate arrow]

Yes, but they're intentionally shit

[azure sun]

yea i figured
I wouldn't want to do that

[slate arrow]

GCD 2.5, macros can only do 2 or 3 second waits

[random girder]

you could automate the entire game if macros didnt suck

[azure sun]

just wondering what the limits of it are

[slate arrow]

and no you can't do combos on one button

[vocal cedar]

So, I'm looking to purchase lvl 60 DoM class sets and I checked the Calamity Salvager, but they don't have it. Is there any npc that does?

[azure sun]

hahahaha true
I suppose having the ability to do simple things like my example above would permit too much

[sour spindle]

how am i not at stormblood??

[random girder]

did you just finish 3.3

there is still 3.4 and 3.5

[sour spindle]

im done dragonsong

[fast talon]

in fates/fetes/skirmishes that involve delivering stuff to an npc, is the points needed for gold a static value or does it change depending on number of participants

[random girder]

what does that mean

[leaden ginkgo]

so you're done with 3.3 so probably 20 more quests left until stormblood

[random girder]

what did you just do in story

[sour spindle]

im done all main quests and the next one is blocked : beyond the great wall

[leaden ginkgo]

lol

[boreal storm]

That’s stormblood

[leaden ginkgo]

yup

[vocal cedar]

Did you purchase the game?

[random girder]

do you own stormblood

[boreal storm]

You’re on trial

[leaden ginkgo]

if its blocked then you dont own stormblood

[sour spindle]

i purchased the game yes

[boreal storm]

Did you let sb and ShB download?

[random girder]

starter edition?

complete?

and did you register the codes

also are you lv60 on whatever job you try to start with

[sour spindle]

and yes all codes and etc ive put in

[boreal storm]

Can you level past 60?

[sour spindle]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

[boreal storm]

Then you’re on trial

[sour spindle]

im not tho i bought the game

[leaden ginkgo]

you done goofed

[twilit arch]

where did you buy the game

[sour spindle]

steam

[fast talon]

easiest way to know if you bought the game is if your home screen is shadowbringers or not

[twilit arch]

can you screenshot your mogstation page?

[sour spindle]

wat is that?

launcher?

[twilit arch]

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[boreal storm]

The place you would’ve registered your full game

As a Steam player

[leaden ginkgo]

[slate arrow]

no, level 60 "relic" sets were actually tomestone sets

[sour spindle]

do you have to buy shadowbringers to get it?

[slate arrow]

yes

how else do you get it

[sour spindle]

r we both talking about stormblood rn?

coz that would be dumb

[twilit arch]

you can't buy stormblood by itself anymore

its part of shadowbringners

[boreal storm]

Latest expansion includes the previous ones sans HW

[sour spindle]

oh ok

[neat ermine]

Can I go to a different world and continue my MSQ?

[twilit arch]

ye you can world visit and continue with msq

[sour spindle]

yo if i preorder end walker do i get stormblood and etc or would i have 2 buy both

[fast talon]

wait by class sets dont they mean artifact gear? if so you can rebuy those from foundation using centurio seals.

[boreal storm]

In November

[slate arrow]

you get them when EW Early Access is out

[boreal storm]

EW isn’t out, so you don’t get any expansions yet

[errant swan]

Anyone know where to grab Falconers Boots?

[midnight tinsel]

Is there a glamour weapon that looks like a big paint brush ?

[twilit arch]

[leaden ginkgo]

[fresh grail]

[fiery helm]

is the hall of novice- tank training worth doing?

[random girder]

yes

it gives you nice gear

[fiery helm]

I know how to tank though

[random girder]

and teaches you some super basics

[shrewd cradle]

not quite

[random girder]

yeah but it gives you good gear for lv15

[shrewd cradle]

but it could have been a suit like that??

[fiery helm]

ah okay thx

[random girder]

and a ring that increases xp gained below lv30

its just generally good to do

yo ucan do it for the rewards on each role

[pale nimbus]

A few Wiki’s come up when googling. Which is the best/primary wiki for the game?

[random girder]

gamerescape and consolegameswiki are equally fine

gamerescape usually has better guides though

more thorough

like for the relics
