Probably because you didn’t unlock it until now?
I'm having constant authentication errors when booting up the launcher, attempting to login with a character, and switching DCs in the start menu. However my connection is 100% fine as long as I manage to get logged in. Any suggestions?
Seems to be just an issue with the gateway servers that idk how to fix.
doing keeper of the lake, any advice for tank?
!faq glamour
#kupo-bot-spam for personal use

gotcha ty
is there a way to use a weapon only as cosmetic or that's only for armour?
Glamour as usual
Same rules and all apply
Weapon glam is no different than doing armour
oo how can you make a weapon glamour
Same way you make armour glamour
sorry i haven't done that either
Either manually by right click > glamour your equipped gear or throw it into the glamour dresser and use glamour plates
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
perfect tyy
Is ilvl 507 on a healer (aetherweaver) enough for running DRN?
Oh fr? I thought that was only in the southern front and zadnor
does any1 know the mod that upscales hair textures to be high res?
are paid client & free trial client still downloaded separately? if yes, is there any ways I can use my files from free trial to speed up my paid client download process?
don't have too fast of an internet speed
does free company ever get more than 1 active bonus?
You get 2 buffs daily
do you know at what level do you unlock the second?
I saw it mentioned that there's documentation of NPC behaviours in triple triad, does anybody know where I can find that?
No just keep levelling
well of course
at rank 8 you get a 2nd one
thanks! currently rank 7 🙂
So, is there a sureproof method of fixing the dx11 crash?
nice gl, GC handins are pretty quick for ranking up if you aren't doing that already
anyone familiar with chocobo breeding / how parentage works?
or is this not the best channel to ask in
yeah
if i level this to 40 and retire and have him breed, can the offspring have some of his dads stats or will it be stuck with his crappy all 2 star and 4 star max speed as an option?
can you end leves early when objective's done? some make you wait the timer out
So yes and no, breeding is the only way to stat up
where can i find gears
Is there a guide I can use that will show me items I should sell and items I shouldn't? I havent sold anything yet and am level 18
So just my 2 cents ventrill, you should just sell it unless you are crafting, (highly recommend crafting) you can desynth items
what server should i join, im thinking of start playing ff14 im EU
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
chaos data center
or light, it's your choice
Do I get wondrous tails credits without having the book?
back back to breeding, only the breeding stock passes traits, so you look for a good covering
when you retire and breed
you do not red
that sucks
Only second chance points
How do i "unlock" grand company leves? I'm lvl 50 but couldnt find this NPC Eidhart that i read someplace online is the npc i'm looking for. I cant seem to find out what i'm missing here. I can find regular levequests and guildhests, but afaik thats not the same, and you don't get seals from them. feel free to DM me so we dont spam the thread.
what MSQ are you at
sadge @faint flare group was 5minutes to slow https://i.imgur.com/S4gjF1S.png
lvl 49. Dont recall the name
they should be automatically unlocked iirc
Can I still buy the sunspun mount even though I'm on the free trial?
I plan on buying the complete edition fyi in a few weeks
I cant fly in coerthas western highlands?
I'm on operation Archon. Im also starting to think that i may need to rank up in GC to unlock high lvl GCleves. Ill see if i can find lower lvl GCleves NPC.
check your aether currents travel > aether currents
You need to unlock flying in the zone
Flight is a per zone bases
Whats the key for it
there is no key
I dont have it yet
yeah you only get flight when your almost done with that zone
so you wont have flight for alil bit
You won't get the aether compass until after you return from coerthas and sea of clouds for the first time
Okay thanks
this might help if you want to find out what quest you can start doing aether stuff
@opal sorrel
what does this icon means
Gpose
so with the covering / breeding thing, should i level that one up or should i breed some more with good coverings til i get one who has good stats of his own?
Im pretty sure you have to get a choco to rank 40 to retire and breed
so you use your base and try to get a good covering
Anyone know what mission I need to get to unlock POTD?
well yeah level 40
In the quarrymil and lost
house that death built
Ohh okay, let me check there. Thanks!

are the crafting/gathering jobs "worth it" for trial accounts? I want to go DRG and got botanist and carpenter, but so far Im just spending time on the class quests for those jobs and dont get any real gear out of it. Since I cant trade / go to the auction house Id pretty much have to do all jobs myself, right? (I know its ideal :D)
So I did the quest for POTD, but where do I go to initiate it?
Ohhhh I found him! Thanks so much!
You have all the time to get em to 60
I did it just because
I think its worth it because its honestly a fun mechanic
does that mean i have them both already?
Yes
for GNB relic attribute refinement, Critical Hit is recommended first right?
mhh okay weird didnt know i bought them
Crit det sks
Heavensward is in the starter edition
starter edition?
would it be fine if I did crit, sks, det?
ah okay
You don't need that much sks
You can easily fill sks in other slots of gear if needed
yeah at least I got a cute hat out of it 😄 But realistically can I make myself a decent lance with just botanist and carpenter at some point or do i Have to go all in with jobs?
You can for sure, I think when I first started playing I only had ARM, and would buy what I needed
At a minimum I would say, do botany if youre doing CRP
What are the requirements for Shadow Walk with Me quest (the last role quest)? I have completed Shadowbringers MSQ and previous role quests for my magical dps, still cannot see this quest that I should get from the npc
Alright, will do, thank you 🙂
You need to
Damn
A tank, healer and physical job
yep, you have to have one of every role type (Tank/Healer/Mag/Phys) at 80
For all the role quests
and bust those out
Lost my ixali gloves what do I do?
Role quests are your job quests
Job quests give you gear
Role quests give you access to gear
Just buy it back from the ixal vendor
It's not like you can really use 430 gear before then
What is considered "good" dps for delubrum reginae?
Yeah I went in with aetherweaver essence and did 7k dps on ast
But I was getting outdamaged
Ast has the lowest personal dps of all healers
If you're using an essence then you're already better than a vast majority
Aether weaver won't fix that
70% of people likely aren't farming fragments either so
Rest is made up by using lost actions
I have been playing triad with gegeruju at costa del sol for about 1h and won at least 20+ games, I have 5 card of Y'shotla but none of Minfilia. Is there something I'm missing or really unlucky ?
Rng is rng
Is there much point in upgrading my equipment past 520, on classes where I'm not going to be trying Extreme/Savage content?
More stats are more stats
is there a way to buy a sub with paypal?
I'm trying to decide where to efficiently allocate my Revelation tomestones.
Which are the better healer lost actions? I know of Seraph Strike for one
You only need 500 to start endwalker
Through steam
its the starter edition again or what?
Starter Edition gets you the base game and first expansion.
It includes a month of play time, but you'll need to set up a subscription too.
How often do GATEs reopen?
so what there is no way to only pay with paypal?
Seraph strike and Chainspell or lost Font of Magic
Every 20 minutes
i was wondering if there is a download speed cap for downloading the game? because i have an average download speed of 280 mb/s and its downloading at 2.2 square
To do that, you can go through the Square Enix site, tell it you want to pay through Steam, and use whatever payment methods Steam takes.
some internet companies have hidden download throttles
X:00, X:20, X:40
Am at the point I should get it for a dung requirement am 420 atm

You have access to that 430 gear before you get to a dungeon that requires it
are those now 51 days or do i need to do something so the 30 days add to the red number?
it says 30 days free gametime btw
No, that's how many free play days are left
Time isn't added until that number hits 0
whats the best way to find people to do unsynced raids for glams?

hey guys, do i use materia 6 or 8 on exarchic gear? or is the price negligible enough that it doesnt matter to save for my bis yet
do i use crit materia for all slots?
no
can i refund stuff on the mog store?
halp
would know looking at this list
If you look at your gear during the melding process, you'll see that each one has a hard cap on how much bonus it can contain per stat.
i bought stormblood from the mogstation i thought it was a dlc but its a boost
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
If one of your gear pieces has Crit as the highest number, you'll get nothing from melding Crit materia to it.
Plus, you sort of want to balance around your stats anyway, even when minmaxing.
The page pretty clearly tells you it's a STORY SKIP and you need to buy the actual license from a different page or via the SE store
That's on you, buddy
ah okay
!faq buy
The ARR and HW options and lack of ShB should’ve tipped you off
If your home world is full will the game log you into another world? Because two days ago I logged in and I was on a completely different world than Lamia. Or did I just get hacked?
this gives me stormblood and shadowbringer right?
Yes, as well as the collectors edition items for SHADOWBRINGERS
so if i got this i have everything expect endwalker or what its called
Yes
ty for the help !
Is there anyone 5head with macros? How do i do a shukuchi macro that teleports me to a target and if there's no target i just use it as normal?
nvm i got it
ah rip that edition is not working with steam wtf
You have to buy off steam
the square store and steam licenses aren't interchangeable
If you're a steam account
if I get a fate like halfway by myself and leave before someone else finishes it, do I still get rewarded or do I have to stay the entire duration?
if you stay long enough to get credit for it, you'll get credit, but you don't have to be there when it finishes necessarily
...yeah, if you teleport out or walk through a portal to another zone, you get nothing
I would say you need to pay more carefully
so im trying to unlock desynthing, but the npc that is supossed to have the quest to unlock it doesn't have the quest.
I have 3 crafters above 30
and I've finished the msq completely.
how :-;
would i miss a lot of exp if i played just one job through msq?
most likely
I almost exclusively did the MSQ on my warrior and I hit 80 about 70% of the way through ShB
Depends how many roulettes you do
probably wasted a couple hundred mil exp
Does anyone know what the support response times are like on the emails at the moment? I'm guessing they're pretty overloaded right now.
no clue how long atm but can probably take a while see https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/b9970a7dde8d01d15b95798b42bd835fb522dfff
You'd still need to buy base game no?
ah damn, thanks for the reply though
Holy crao
is custom deliveries
the best way
to get white scrips
for gathering?
lol
but totally worth
each of them have one too
It's a weekly thing however
12 allowances though
err sorry im thinking max max
so the highest level custom guy, in the ishgard restoration, is 161 X 6 turn ins max collect
the 2nd highest guy there is 136 X 6 max max

how long does it usually take to finish main quest?
like the whole shabang?
yup
arr - sb?
ummm oh man hard to say, if you watch all scenes and everything like 1k hours?
dafuq
Not that long.

Each base game is about 30-40 hours, each patch is 3-5 hours.
Lowballing it, that's about 200 hours
Then maybe this isn't the game for you. ARR has a lot of lore building though so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And you can’t without doing the story
too late, i alrdy bought the complete collector edition
F
well, no pain no gain
You could buy the story skip if you really don't want to do it but personally I find it difficult to play class unless I've levelled it myself
Most MMOs in general have fairly long story arcs, since the roleplaying and thereby the story are integral parts of the game.
im good, i just speed run the whole main quest, i skip all the cutscenes and stuff
Destiny is sort of the exception
you can get the gist of the story from youtube videos later if you want
ye
I watch them anyway because I always miss stuff or forget things
yeah, there's a video for each of the campaign's cutscenes; they're about 9 hours at a minimum though so be warned
There's some good summary vids as well if you want the condensed version
Hey guys, how early can I play music at cities and stuff as a bard? I thought it only required unlocking bard at 30, but someone told me you need to be higher than that
30
I'm literally only leveling an archer for that as I have 0 interest in the actual class lol
Good to know
Thanks

Is there a site where I can download an Hud?
how do you get more vesper bay tickets
Story gives you them at points
Gotta wait until story gives you more
story gives me more even in heavensward?
Hey can someoene explain how Angra Mainyu works?
Alternate getting hit by red and blue debuffs. Kill hourglass adds and flying eyeball adds when they spawn. Look away for Mortal Gaze.
Alternate sides when he does the split room
If you get hit by Mortal Gaze, stand on a glowing pad to get rid of Doom.
ah
And don't stand behind the tank
are hunt trains the shit on the hunt board? or
No
No, hunt trains are for killing A and S rank targets.
A and S ranks have no bills
Hunt board only has unranked and B rank hunts.
how long would it take me to farm memoria misera ex to be able to dye job gear?
Not long since it drops 3 coffers and 2 totems
how long does it take to get relic weapon?
okay, so i'm having difficulty melding materia
can i get the base gae bolg really fast?
i'm trying to put some on my talekeeper (base weapon) for savage aim viii, but it says my item level is too low
Which beast tribes unlock emotes besides these and moogles?
Are you trying to meld it yourself, or are you having an NPC do it?
Oh, also a good point by Vinyl.

is it normal for SE to not show much of their coming expansion other than bullet points?
Yes
until release?
Yes, especially at this point
They're very tight with information so that spoilers can't happen.
oh ok cool
We wont get combat info until September
will we get class skills info?
And the media tour that let's creators have hands on with the game
all classes get new skills for the 10 lvls right?
The media tour gives us all class info
damn that's a lot of work tbh
They can change them like 1-cap but yeah
And then the theorycrafting get going
and scream about dumb stuff
Cause once we see potencies we can start mathing basic rotatiosn
dont worry,ill get u the best rotations as soon as it drops
i got my samurai rotation in like 1 hour of testing
Quick question. Have they eased up on requirements to get the relic weapon?
I can't believe they killed white mage again for the 3rd expansion in a row
Which relic

The gunbreaker relic weapon
Right sorry which expansion
uhh current expansion.
This relic is the piss easiest relic
I honestly have no idea what hte process is. I'm just now starting the quest line to unlock the relic quest line lol
So for the currently relic its all in bozja, or rather gangos
IIRC when I first tried FF14 1-1.5 years ago there was a thing called Greased Lightning for Pugilists. Is that gone now?
Gunbreaker only has one relic at the moment anyways
yeah they recently re-worked monk
Its a trait now, not an upkeep buff
I see. Thank you
Hi, som1 knows on which level msq ur doing dungeon ?
various
Your first dungeon is at level 15 MSQ
Greased Lightning still exists, but it's a passive trait that increases action speed as you get higher in level
thanks 😄
which server is asmogold on do anyone know lol
Cactuar
oh ok thx
any idea when the next big mog station sale will be? There are some cosmetics id like to buy 

When buying the Ironworks Armor set, which pieces should I buy first?
(I already got the weapon).
Weapon > chest/legs > lowest ilvl pieces
That's what I thought, thanks.
assigning my retainer a job comes with perks or something?
where do i go?
just lets them equip job specific gear (or make them an expansion job if you don't intend to level any of the ARR jobs to cap)
what region is that?
An oddly garbed man visiting Revenant's Toll has some information which might be of interest to an experienced adventurer.
Outlandish Man
Mor Dhona (X: 21.86 Y: 8.17)
Rammbroes
Mor Dhona (X: 30.44 Y: 12.17)
The Ultimate Weapon
Sanding It Down
That
What im trying to say, theyre doing quick explorations that dont need iLVL at the moment - will assigning a job give them more xp/better items from explorations?
no
as i said
the only thing giving them a job does is let them equip job specific gear
or if you're not intending to get an ARR job ot cap, you can make them an expansion job
since they are limited to the lvl you are in that class/job
I need help. I pre-ordered Endwalker on my old account but didn't debit it right away, and redeemed the pre-order bonuses. Will I get in trouble if I don't pay for it when Endwalker comes around?
Theres no way to stop it?
The button is there for if you want to pay now
Squenix preorders don't debiy your account until the order is filled iirc
Yeah but I don't want to pay for this because I'm ordering the collectors edition instead
This... I'm not sure, you'll probably have to contact support
Note, you can pay for a separate upgrade to the CE through mogstation. Only for the digital CE though. If you’ve found a physical one somehow, yeah, contact support.
Yeah, thats what I intend to do
I pre-ordered (but didnt pay) for End Walkers regular edition, and redeemed the pre-order bonuses.
Now I want to buy the Collectors Edition and not pay for the regular edition.
But will I get in trouble for not following through buying the regular edition since I already accepted the pre-order bonuses from that?
Is basically what I'm getting at
Is it faster and better to farm memories of the dying from fates or the alliance raids
Haunting/vexing? Do both
Fates while queing
Raids drop 3 and fates got buffed rates
do people have multiple armor sets they use or do they just use one with good stats and use glamour plates on top?
Plates
tyvm
Can I play as DK when I reach level 50 if I'm on the free trial?
When you reach HW, correct
Got it, thank you
You'll probably reach 50 way before you reach the main story point you can unlock it from
can i play as dragoon and swap to red mage when i get lvl 50
yes
do i get kicked in character login screen after afking
you can pick up and swap between any classes you want on the same character =)
I'm ... not sure quite what you're asking here, but Yoshi-P did recently announce that they reinstated the afk auto-logout timer to help combat server congestion. So if you got kicked to the title screen while afk, that's why.
its ok to me to afking in screen but THE stupid cinematic always play without stopping
whats the differance between an legacy server and a normal sever
almost give me a heart attack while doing something in window
i want to activate my SE account(cancelled) to delete the char in it,
bcus i need the char's name back
Literally none these days
Legacy was from 1.0, means nothing nowadays
ok ty
ty
how do i get down
this map is confusing
The game was leading you through a cave
have funw ith the next quest though
I went there
I just saw no way of going down to the marker
pretty sure youre at that one
heyo! what does the X mean here?
How can you tell that your purchase was succesfull for Endwalker? Will it update on the mogstation?
I already activated the code like weeks ago before paying and it says I have Endwalker pre-ordered on mogstation, but how do I know the payment actually worked?
how does rested exp work when changing class?
does it accumulate in the same class or does it carry over to the changed class?
ill try
ty
ignore the letters its a treasure map,, all i could find lol
It's shared
so it's % based?
Yes
thankss
Hi everyone i'm trying to start playing this game. I bought 3 years ago on steam and registered my keys but didn't play much. I redownloaded it today and tried running it on steam, but its prompting me to login with a square enix account - but i dont think i had one
is there a steam login i can use in the client that pops up
how the F do i reactivate my account?
i suspended it last weeek
to change to another email
but my char's name still in there
why is the voice acting so randomly placed in the cinematics?
it looks as if they flipped a coin for each cinematic
if this is still in vanilla ARR then yeah it's often weird
you need an SE account to play on steam regardless
you definitely had one 3 years ago
oh, so is it going to get more consistent in the expansions?
yes
okay!
usually it will only voice important cutscenes with higher budget and a bigger story beat
and the less important cutscenes will not
Got it. I'll just submit a support ticket to try and reclaim it.
fair enough..
aye, best of luck man
will the main story quests get me to max lvl or do i have to do side quests as well?
It carries you
Do daily roulettes to stay ahead if you want
Side quests are shit xp anyway
^
what quests are important side quests then ik the choco bo one is
blue quests

- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
ok ty
when is the daily reset for leveling duty? im pretty sure i already did it today but it says i can get rewards again
!daily
so it reset 3 hours ago? is it the same for both EU and NA?
same hour, different times because of timezones
Can u use macros on PS? For crafting
yes you can just make a macro and then assign it to a hotbar
just been doing main quests but my item level is too low to continue what should I do 😮
can i buy a mount and use it at lvl 2 or do i have to wait till i get choco bo to use any mounts]
Can you make mouseover healing macros in this game like in WoW?
Get your job gear from Grendolt like the game said
Need the chocobo
You could but they'll be less efficient then not using macros due to lack of skill que
thanks
How do I accept the Linkshell Invite? Or am I already in it
Right click the linkshell
What the difference between pre ordering the endwalker digital collector’s edition and the standard one? I was looking at what you get and it looks exactly the same but the collector’s edition is more expensive
Ohh okay, thanks!
In general, what’s the max gap between gear level of the tank and dungeon level so that healing them is still manageable?
Oh really so healers dont use macros like in WoW
Macros are never optimal here
How to grab the Boarskin map? Been trying to mine that and never shows up trying to grab some mist silk
In general, just ... stay current on your gear?
what is tihs question mark in a bag in the corner of the gathering item?
You never gathered it

how much inventory retainers have?
Oke so I'm lvl 25 and I'm planning to buy a jump potion. I know people don't recommend it or are against it but I have my reasons. So my question is: are there any key points i have to know. And please don't get mad on me for this.
175 each
do you care about the story?
also yeah no one will shame for boosting
i personally advise against it but if you wanna do it go for it
Remember that level boost =/= story skip
they're 2 seperate thing
as an fyi
So if you buy a story skip, you still have to level
and if you level boost, you still have to do story
Read guides to learn how to play your job
if you basically want the run-down of the story there's a document i can send that recaps the story slightly
Yes I know that
but if you do not care about the story just skip, then do waht vinyl said
which is learning your class
But yeah
I will recommend guides, looking at a story recap etc.
in case you do actually care about later story
Can you maybe send that document
sure thing
The purpose of this document is to compile the story of Final Fantasy XIV so far for new players who wish to understand the lore but need more detail than the official website offers or players who wish to review the story quickly without having to replay or rewatch it. Final Fantasy XIV takes...
Thanks
Oke thank you very much
and yeah make sure to study your class if you boost
boosting's fine but be responsible when you do
Sure will do
godspeed
Is there a site like eorzea glamour that basically has character creation presets?
nop
what are "gathering ndoes"? I'm following a gathetring guide and it says
Level 15 Node Locations Unlocked:
A strangely huge amount of nodes are unlocked in this level. Refer to the chart below.
What does it mean? that before i got lvl 15 i couldnt have gathered them?
gathering nodes are things you walk up to nad interacti n the world to gather stuff
so like lvl 15 lush vegetation is a node, yeah?
Anyone getting confirmation emails late from SE? Is it normal?
Trying to sign up on the software token but the email won't show up
Is there any reason to not join the culinarian's guild?
Because you don't want to be a culinarian?
Well, I'm a new character and I'm in Limsa Lominsa and theres a bunch of quests relating to jobs like cooking, crafting etc
Crafting and gathering are completely optional
And everytime I speak to the NPC who offers these quests they ask me to join their guild first
Like to do the level 1 cooking quest, I gotta join their guild
But is it possible to join ALL of the guilds and be in ALL of them? Like be in the crafter guild, cooking guild, gatherer guild etc?
So theres literally no reason to say no, you can be all of the jobs and be in all of their guilds at the same time?
They're not ACTUAL guilds
ok
Guilds are free companies here
for BLM, do i get the Umbral Soul through a job quest or just getting to level 76?
Just level up
Auto
ok thx
No skills past 70 are quest locked
Ok, so I may as well just say yes because I can join all of them and co-exist in all of them at once without ever needing to leave any for another?
How do I use the whistle ?
oh ok so no BLM quests in Shadowbringers i guess
huh?
oh ok
And, yes. You can join all of them at once. You're never forced to leave.
nice, thanks
I get this every time I try and launch the game
i dont know what to do on the website
Transfer to regular service has not been completed.
Please proceed to the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station.
did you check mogstation?
Is there any harm in starting a Culinary quest, I'm only level 3, I'm assuming I can start it now but will it take me to level 1 again because technically I'll be a level 1 cook?
So. What do I do with Tomestones of Allegory
All job levels are separate yes
"joining the [class] guild" in this game is mostly flavor text anyway
ah got it
what is the highest ilevel attainable?
Buy i490 gear if needed, else sell mats
530 armour 535 weapons
Gear from who?
So if I accept the quest and become a cook, how exactly do I go about swapping back between cook and my current "job" which is arcanist?
Tome vendors in eulmore
traders in eulmore
it wont let me transfer to the steam version on the website cause its grayed out
Kk
Equip the weapon
Your job is based on your weapon
So do I get a "cook" weapon?
A frying pan yes
Class is determined by your weapon. Equip the book to be an arcanist. Equip the frying pan to be a culinarian.
you should be able to do so, just hit "Enter Registration Code"
lmao, ok thanks
ah ok, that makes sense, thanks
Anyone know where I can find some examples of really nice custom UI layouts?
Equipping the weapon. Also, easiest way to not have to think about job swapping is to set up gear sets.
So, if you go to your equipment pane on your character sheet, you'll see a button that looks like this
when I try to remove my book it says "weapons cannot be unequipped" ?
Are there people doing Ultima's Bane?
I can't find a group through Duty Finder (2h+ queuing for several days).
& Party Finder seems like the same, especially when looking for an 8-man group.
yeah you can't remove weapons but only swap to other classes
so basically you have to ALWAYS have a weapon equipped, whichever one it is?
That + symbol will add a gear set based on the current gear you have equipped
No sane person ques for extremes like ultima...people primarily unsync it with 80s
Yes
yes you can join all the guilds
the sort of rotating arrows directly to the left of that pane is an update button
it'll update your selected gear set with the gear you're currently wearing
It seems fairly easy-
unsync it with 80s
What does that mean?
after that, if you double-click on a gear set, it'll automatically equip every piece of gear saved in that set
provided you still have it in your Armory chest
Turning off the sync
you know how if you're overlevelled it puts you back down to a certain max level and stat cap
that just turns it off so you outscale it and beat the shit out of it
Oh I see-
Would they take newbies in for carrying?
Undersized party is what it's named in duty/party finder settings
Yes
question, how do i get the ranged physical dps role on discord?
Cause it's free stuff for them
Where can I find them? 
can you tell me the name of the quest which grants me the ability to fly a mount?
ty
Just need 1 lv80
!faq flying
'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/
Bit more complex than that
There are a shit ton of options before setting it up.
Can I send a SS before posting it in Party Finder, just to make sure?
!faq unsync
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.
That's helpful, thank you!
For ARR: finish the lv 50 msq
Praetorium
thank you
explain how that's better
how rare is it to get nightmare mount?
cowls have stats that make up for the lack of helm
so you need to add silver spectacles + cotton robes to compare it to the cowl
yep
Back in ARR there were chest pieces that wouldn't allow you to equip a head piece for some reason
You won't see them again after that
if i buy the game do i keep my character
yes
...duh?
no, it's an understandable question to have
?
alot of games make you make a new one
wait really, which ones?
Your trial character comes with you
that's awful design, unless it's like a max level char
is there a list that has all of the mats for Ishgard restoration for all classes?
sometimes that also happens with certain situations like alpha/beta testing
Also I'm ... not sure what happens if, say, you had a free trial via SE and then bought the game on Steam
since those are separate licenses
war
A fete
why is there a zone wide fate
why not
Be a crafting or gatherer
does anyone know where exactly do i buy the food that makes my chocobo fight alongside me? i cant find it in any vendor idk
its simone says
easy vendor to buy gysahl greens from is bango zango near the limsa aetheryte
What is the most recent DLC?
https://i.imgur.com/KNT3hJ9.png is this guy a paladin?
I'm buying the game right now, and the Complete Edition has: Realm, Heaven, Storm, Shadow
my friends can't join my server we are new players, can they change server once they are in game?
Is there a missing DLC I should buy?
We're on titania and my other friends can't join
ohhh, yeah just found a forum on it
Endwalker ain't released til winter, cool thank you!
yeah but you get a very nice levelling ear ring from pre-ordering
!faq buy
Now, as a new player, if I use this earring, will I be overlevelled for story missions?
I'm getting into this mmo because it has an actual story people enjoy, so I don't want to be 25 levels ahead of quests and lose interest lol
i mean you'll be over levelled regardless xD
but this game does lvl you down if your to high.
it also means you can push multiple classes easily
ah, in that case, i'll leave the ring for now...or maybe just get it for crafts
yeah...damn
for example if your lvl80 you can down levelled to 24 if thats the max lvl for that dungoen
If you only do story and job quests and very little roulettes you won't get that overlevelled
It may feel at times but it catches up
^the game intends for you to be over levelled.
Many people get level locked at 46
nah im a bastard for just killing time by farming mobs or doing side gigs lmao
Cause it jumps to 49
CE is cosmetics, yes.
is branden a paladin?
will ignore that then, thanks.
Functionally, yes. He has a generic role icon for that story quest though.
I have never really played an mmo. what would be considered more beginner friendly, white mage or dragoon because im interested in those classes/jobs.
If you want easy go dragoon, healer is always a more complicated class
so i'd say dps would be easier, but has a way longer dungeon que time. but as a healer you face the risk of getting a toxic team flaming you, but ungodly short que times
you can always change jobs later easilty
hi all
if i start this campaign at 22 august
you are assured 14 days
For PLD relic, what's the best stat allocation? I just finished the step where you have to collect timeworn artifacts from DRN.
Crit det sks
check the balance discord. :>
they have the info for that
!faq balance
can someone help me? i tried downloading FFXIV and it keeps stopping and saying "cant download patch data" then shows me these numbers
karazan, isnt that the name of a wow boss? 😮
Hello, i'm a new player. I'm trying to join my friends in Cactuar, but the world seems to be full?
What do I do?
yes lol
so i start at 22 august and campaign ends at 23 august, i still get 2 weeks after 23 august?
yes
ok thanks
either keep trying or wait until later in the night/early morning when people aren't on to try and make a character
How do you see how much gil you have?
Oh, so it's based on active/online users? So I can try to create during non-peak hours?
What's likely happening is the login servers are full. Currently new characters can't be created when the login servers are overloaded, so you have to keep trying outside of peak hours. =)
You are gonna be VERY lucky to get a character on cactuar lol
Alright, since I live in SEA, i think i can probably find a time when NA is asleep
??? Why?
a very famous WoW streamer ended up on our server haha
Cause asmon is there
By default it's displayed on the bottom right of the HUD. If you've moved it, however, you can open the Currency window in the Character menu or by pressing Ctrl+C.
so his fanbase seems to have followed him
whats gathering fortune?
... seriously?
Yes
asmongold is on cactaur, yeah
They broke the server day 1 of streams
Can I reallocate relic weapon stats?
You need to wait late at night basically
Yes
... sigh... should've played FF14 much sooner...
I still think you'll be able to get in, it's just ... gonna be dicey unless it's in off hours.
That's basically my afternoon lol
As long as you're on the same Data centre you can still play with friends
Via world visit
Chances of gathering a high quality item. Some gathering points have bonuses to that if you meet certain stat requirements.
But i can't join their guild...
Guilds are just social stuff
Sigh... just my luck some streamer joins the ONE server my friends are on... fml
Eventually, yes. Each relic weapon has a step where you can pick its stats.
still cant find where to buy gysahl greens someone said limsa lominsa i went to every icon on map that has "shop" on it
and found nothing
Buy item tabs of general merchants
Bango Zango is a lalafell right next to the aetheryte point. He should have a tag under his name that says Brugaire Consortium.
can someone help me? i tried downloading FFXIV and it keeps stopping and saying "cant download patch data" then shows me these numbers
That's where you buy the greens
once i finish 80: To Have Loved and Lost: Sul Oul, Il Mheg, x22.7, y4 i can continue my msq right?
Yes
so im done?
For now
Yes
very pog
found it thanks
i need more storage ;/
Retainers
each?
Yes
so basically 30 more slots than your own inventory
since our inv is 140
can you upgrade these to t8? or why is he giving me so many t7's
Rarely via transmutation
im confused by this
he'll give you i430 gear for any jobs whose role quests you've finished
question, is the maiming set for tanks?
why havent i got the 430 tank gear then
No dragoon
dragoons
and reapers once they exist
Talk to grendolt
Grade 8 materia has a limit on how many you can put into gear. Grade 7s are filler. And you can take materia to Mutamix north of Black Brush Station in Central Thanalan. You feed him 5 pieces of materia and he turns it into a random materia of any kind, with a chance to upgrade.
It's how you get the ilvl for the final dungeon
The final dungeon requires like i405
Normally
So people who haven't brought gear
oh in that case don't worry about it lol
Exarchic is bare minimum for all current content
my gcd's take 2.43 seconds to cast which feels bad
So they are
what is the difference between hq and nq on the pants
Significantly more stats
hq has good stats. nq does not
The difference between NQ and HQ is I think it was 20 ilvl worth of stats?
Normal quality gear is effectively minus 50 ilvls of stats
Oh 50
It's a significant downgrade
that steep? yikes
is there anywhere I can check what rotation to use for lvl 6x crafts with 6x gear?
I have no idea where to even start to craft stuff
You can see the stat difference by crtl something over the gear
i guess ones on right are hq stats
60 strength
im doing the last boss on the wandereres palace duty
how do i get rid of the doom debuff?
Heal to full
and here i am still chilling in i500 because i'm not going to be doing anything more strenuous than normal raids before EW drops so i just don't care enough to spend the money
gathering is so simple yet so fun
i still need/want to lvl all my jobs to 80 before end walker drops
same for my doh/dol's
3-4 months should be plenty of time i think
is there an easy way to do this weapon quest or an efficient way?
do you have Battle Music enabled?
i do
Just go do the fates
Can someone tell me why this item had a gold top on the icon and what the symbol on the right means?
it's high quality
which 1
Battle Music
which means when used in crafting, it makes it easier to make a high quality crafted item
yo so I got back into the game recently and just finished realm reborn. currnetly IL75 scholar. what to do next?
oh yeah im free trial btw xd
when in doubt, msq
Yes started on elemental on JP and found an english speaking FC already - tbh its so worth it going for a JP server rn for preferred status
ty
also make sure to do crystal tower
but i want to listen to battle music, well i guess you cant disable just 1
High quality gear is significantly better
keep doing the patch quests and press on towards Heavensward =)
also grab the Augmented Ironworks gear from Mor Dhona to bump you to ilvl 130
