unless you're gonna do anima relic and wanna farm up on amber vilekin
which case, can do large scale as a time saver
but ultimately it doesn't matter
But they look like great XP Kaelwryn? I am also doing it for the challenge log?
they're not
I mean we cant stop you from leve-ing, but yeah theres much more efficient methods of leveling
they're shit exp for combat jobd
which is why they don't exist after heavensward
because no one does them and there are better avenues for exp for combat jobs
Has anyone done the account creation process recently enough to remember it? I'm currently having some trouble w/ it
You mean the thing where u click register. put in ur details and so on?
does my chocobo get exp from all challenge log completions or just the ones with the blue companion exp?
just the ones with blue companion exp
hey, can i dye my anima weapon if its a replica only?
No, some steps you can dye the regular relics
Yeah that one
But I think all replica relics can be dyed
as in the semifinal one
right, thanks
guess ill just finish the last step then
I'm specifically having trouble with the square enix account creation thing-dingy
awesome
Is there a possibility more mounts will be added to the firmament fetes rewards?
good. screw that city.
Hope so. Ive almost 10k scrips
How do I gain more rank in my GC? It says they're out of promotions for me.
1st Lieutenant and Captain require you to raise up squadrons
1st lieutenat requires you to get one member of your squadron to lvl 40 to unlock the flagged mission but will probably be a few levels before you can actually complete it
Also there's a cap. The highest you can be is a captain for now
Captain requires you to have done 1st LT mission + 5 different dungeons with your squadron to unlock the flagged mission
What should I spend seals on?
i personally just buy venture tokens and dark matter these days
can look at the marketboard tho and see if any of the crafting materials (like coke) are selling decently
glamour prisms are also a very safe choice (either for personal use or to sell)
Ooh, ventures. Forgot about those.
I also buy Aetheryte passes
free teleport right back to the GC headquarters
lets me put my favored destination and home destinations way far afield
Is there a guild finder in game?
Do skills that say that affect party like Medica also affect alliance members in raids?
Commercial Survival Manuals don't affect quest EXP right? Only exp gotten from physically gathering?
correct
Thx
what is a good dps class to play, right now im using dragoon but im about to max it out
any
Is it ok to get mad af @ the MSQ?
Are there any quests for Coils of Bahamut besides the one that opens them?
speaking of that, should I do the many coils in order? I unlocked it now but didn't enter any yet
Quests to go back into Coil after you finished it, you mean? nah
I was thinking more like quests for initial completion.
After activating the game from free trial I am struck here from more than 30mins am i doing anything wrong? or just wait and let it do its stuff?
The only quest that specifically shows up after initially completing part of Coil is the unlock quest for Second Coil Savage
anyone know which is better for tanks
also I can't seem to find any pictures on how these look like
They're intended to be done in order, though a few of them could be skipped as they don't actually contain any story. Also you're kind of in for a bad time if you just queue up for them. Even though there are more people running them now than a month ago, it's still going to be much faster if you have someone do them unsynced for you
Tanks cannot use Slaying gear
You have to use Fending
HW accessories can still be equipped by all classes
thank you
I'd like to start an fc centered around lore and lore aqcuisition, but I don't really know what kind of side content pertains to the lore of the world
so a tank can equip the i240 Slaying accessories that those give. Fending is still the intended set though
possibly better stats from the Slaying set because it won't have Tenacity, but reeeeally not worth worrying about at level 60
!item Augmented Primal Ring of Slaying
None
61

36
※ Materia Slots: 1
※ Advanced Meldable: No
※ Required Level: 60
※ Repaired By: Goldsmith
※ Repair Material: Grade 6 Dark Matter
※ Dyable: No
※ Desynthesis: Yes
yea you can use lvl60 gear on any job
^ *Accessories
Ah well. Its better to get used to using Fending anyway I guess
how i learned that is when i auto equipped aiming gear while leveling tank
and ended up so squishy

never noticed
oof
that was actually a huge point of contention in the community
are the extreme trials in ARR ilevel synced?
tanks at level 60 (and even at level 70) would wear slaying accessories
because the tank ones did not increase str
Or am I to assume that it only syncs ilevel when there is that symbol in the duty finder?
they didn't class lock the accessories until stormblood
is this a emote in the game?
yeah, even in early stormblood, tanks at level 70 would wear level 60 accessories
@proud willow yeah you're right lol
because of how much better the str went
before they added str to vit accessories
old school
if an instance ilvl syncs, its noted in the duty finder page. like so
custom pose done with cmtool i believe
right, thanks!

If you play the game at a resolution different from your default Windows resolution, when you quit the game and return to Windows, does Windows return to its original resolution for you? FFXIV is the only game that causes Windows to stay in the game’s resolution for me.
My resolution is 4k. I play at 1440p. When I quit, Windows stays at 1440p.
why dosen't this change when I swap classes

So is there not a way to regen race chocobo stamina, it's just 100% for the whole race?
I can buy the shield relic replica from drake but not the sword, any idea why?
hey hello guys my question is how long is the sale for ff14 complete edition ?
because its set as a shared bar
how do I change that
Is the ending of ARR confusing or is just me? Like just finished 2.55 and the last scene confused tf outta me
which MSQ do i need to finish to unlock the level 50+ Job quests? I'm currently just before Leviathan
hotbar tab in one of the setting menus, think it's system
before the dawn, ie start Heavensward
ah ok thanks
if I want to get Areadbhar Lux do I need to max out gae bolg first?
No
no
That just skips step 1, which isn’t a hard step to begin with
How would I begin?
Can someone explain Emergency Tactics, I asked NN but no answer.
Is there a way to remove the UI in the benchmark's character creator on PC?
wait wtf i need to finish 2.5 in order to unlock more job quests?
all i've been doing is MSQ and i'm already lvl 57
still at 2.2
Yes, you can’t do an expansion’s job quests until you’re in said expansion
The 50 quest explained that
you mean the sch action?
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
wack
What expansions need to be completed to obtain Areadbhar Lux?
HW
I c
means you can glamour them when you max out their rep
time to put kai-shirr in a dress
I'm currently in the settings and the only thing I can find about it is the "Scale UI elements option in character creation" which actually makes them bigger XD
Hey guys, so I'm currently trying to go for the Resplendent Pickaxe for the Miner atm. I'm currently sitting on 192/220 to get the pickaxe, and I don't have anymore stuff to check off the list. Please forgive me if I'm overlooking something, as I haven't played in almost a year now.
I've tried doing Skybuilder's gathering items, but they aren't being logged so that's out of the question.
Please can anyone help, why is my birthday invalid???
lolwhat
I've been trying to make a ff online account for 3 weeks now
Try doing one above and below, you might've mischose the wrong one
I'll try, thank you ❤️
that didn't work 😦
The thing is, i already have an account made i thought but it doesn't let me log in so i keep trying to reset passsword to try and make it work but it doesn't
is there something that's not through steam for this game?
Yeah you can play this game on either Steam or the launcher
I believe it's on the website? I'm not sure it's been a LONGGG time
is there a website for final fantasy specifically or is it the square enix website because that websites confusing lmao
I'll DM you the link to download it
Thank you ❤️
Yes but someone explained in a dumb way for me to understand lol
Anybody know the solution to this btw?
Are Tribe dailies reset at a set time or 24hrs from when you complete them?
Ah, damn so it seems Pixies only get 3 a day, was led to believe it was 6, rip
expansion tribes are only 3 a day
you get 3 extra if you rank up tho (barring the 2nd to final and final ranks) for that day
I am trusted but it still only gives me 3
you can glamour how the npc looks for certain custom delivery npcs
thats... weird af lol
IT WORKED!!!
cash shop?
Thank you so much @modest hearth ❤️
There is no in game cash shop
you don't
You're the best
can only access the cash shop thru an internet browser
They're not that invasive with their shop.
do BA or DRS have checkpoints, or does wiping reset to the beginning?
where do I post an LFG for people who wants to grind light for anima on alexander savage?
What role quest do I do for tank shb
!faq rolequest
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests

./ptime
Is levelling up a healer / tank viable at the start of the game or is it better to wait until you have a guild to run around with?
perfectly viable
very viable!
enjoy the instant queue times for dungeons/trials during the msq :^)
anyone wanna join A9S savage light farming?
xD
I've never understood why healers and tanks aren't as popular because if you master them and play them right, they can be really enjoyable, knowing that you're helping your team to do their job and perform to the best of their ability etc or helping to set your team up to succeed
folks love big number
when do i get glare?
That's true
look at your action list
@outer bane homie i have lost 10 years of my life from one dungeon cause a tank popped all his fortify ability's at once and i wanted to cry ;-;
is there a website with a gallery of chocobo bardings? trying to figure out what I want for mine
pets I'm really sorry on behalf of the tank community, i hope they got thrown off the edge of a tower afterwards xD
Kael
ty xD
Is a datacenter the same as a server?
which roulettes are worth doing every day? all of them? or only a few
Ah okay, thank you
@dim marsh depends on what you want/need
For leveling it's Alliance > Leveling > Trials > MSQ > Normal Raid in terms of time taken vs exp gained
are you able to play on any world in that datacenter or are you locked to the world on that datacenter?
Any world
thank you!
can you explain? I guess I want/ need EXP and tomes, not sure what else they offer
i see ty
@outer bane you can visit other worlds, but you can only join FC and a few other things on your "home" world
For poetics you do 50/60/70 roulette, msq roulette, alliance raid and normal raid
Oh I forgot about 50/60/70
Do 50/60/70 before normal raid
For leveling
I think
Ooh, okay, thank you 🙂
And if you have it Frontlines roulette is great for exp too
I see, I'm currently doing alliance/msq/leveling but I'll add in trials and maybe 50/60/70 in that case
thank you
I'm from the UK (Europe) but have found that US servers are usually a lot more friendly, less toxic and more active, is that the case on ff too? I've always been in US Guilds on every mmo i've played xD
is there a list of the first level that each DPS class learns an AOE attack?

pets bot
just looking for the most painless way to help some friends through the early dungeons
Tanks have an AoE by like 10
just unsync
phys ranged have them between 15 and 18
For melee it varies based on job
Monk gets theirs the earliest at 26
Samurai is next at 30
Ninja gets theirs at 38 and Dragoon gets it last at 40
Healers have it at 45 (WHM and AST) or 46 (SCH)
thanks that's exactly the info I needed!
Can you buy Hannish wool autumn shirt from market? And how much it cost?
@gritty falcon if you do it unsynced in a group you can knock it out asap 😄
he's the quest giver to unlock the aurum vale, and he's asking me to unlock aurum vale to accept this side quest. h e l p
void
is that the only quest he has
What level are you?
55
And that's the only quest he has?
yes
You just haven't actually done the dungeon
if he doesnt have the quest and your 55 you already did it
wait what..
How do i register my end walker collectors edition?
i'm literally following zepla's blue quest unlocks
OH wtf
lmao
but i never did this quest

i am so confused
you tell me
🙂 i'm not going insane i swear
i've just ranked up 6 times at the maelstrom
How do i get the aether current at the bottom of the map in the dravanian hinterlands?
the south end of Dravanian Hinterlands has 2 elevations
one more question: any website that shows the chocobo bardings?
There is 1 that is above the exit to coerthas west highlands.
Does anyone have like a site or sum for all the blue ARR quests and their levels? Leveling up an alt job. Might as well do all the blue quests I missed before starting Heavensward
Tyyy
does broken gear (0% durability) still accumulate spiritbond?
If your gear is broken you're wrong
But probably not because if it's broken then the game pretends that gear isn't equipped
So you lose all the stats from it
I can't seem to find the quest to start the eureka quest line, am I missing something? I've done all but the last MSQ in 5.5
Can i marry a cat lady?
can someone explain why I would ever want to buy the weapon from gerolt's masterworks instead of the ironworks gear for the same tome price?
it looks like a straight downgrade
glamour
Glamour
i see. thank u
Masterwork weapons came out before Ironworks, and were good at the time
makes sense
also might be a dumb question but people typically buy the weapon first right?
i don't have many tomes
Yeah
gotcha thanks
i'm still using the lvl 50 gear they gave from job quests
but my weapon is awful lol
From a story perspective, does it matter if I do Coils of Bahamut or Crystal Tower stuff first? Or are they separate things?
Separate
How do i get a fat ass like this? i want this mount, whatever it is
It's a bird or something i think
oops i thought this was my friends dm
Oh nice 😛
It's weird for me seeing mounts multiple people can go on too, idk if that's one of them but it must be really fun riding with other people
You never know 😉
What do these numbers represent?
It was something about buying something on Amazon with a certain amount of money and you could get it. I just killed two birds with one stone and got poke'mon moon
@sleek igloo actions per minuite on average
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
tldr; how many buttons you push per minuite
No
Ooo
There are no factions like that here
what is a grand company??? googles
@hard aurora , so, but where are those numbers coming from? and I assume APMs during raiding?
And higher APMs mean more complicated the class?
generally; dungeons, raiding, etc
i wouldn't say complications as all classes have an equally high skill cealing
so thenw hat do the APM numbers signify?
quite literally how many buttons you press per minuite
its not an indicator of a class's complexity
So lemme get this straight: I'm in ARR 2.0 content, I just opened coils of bahamut(I havent gone there yet), I'm doing everything before like primal trials, 50lvl dungeons and crystal tower just to farma tomestones for ilvl 130 gear, that's because coils is actually harder than all this and will give me higher ilevel gear? (i'm trial btw, just trying to figure out progression)
its simply just how many one presses on average per minuite for that class due to their abilities, etc
@lapis mountain you dont need to do that
complexity comes from optomization of a class and the understanding of a fight
just keep doing MSQ
take for instance, i'm a black mage with a really really low aPM
it does not make it easy because of that; more so i need a good understanding of the fight to maximise my DPS and to keep up my enochian / astral fire / umbral ice so that i don't lack in any department
and well, not moving at all is 100% ideal
I know I could just go on with the content, but I'm trying to make a progression patch by patch, I'm just trying to figure out how the progression worked back then?
@lapis mountain , I am in a similar boat. I also want to slowly go thru the content as its "meant to be". Though, gear wise, Coil gives you nothing. The Poetic tomestones will "carry you" until like lvl 55 (in the MSQ)
thanks @hard aurora
oh alright, thanks
I am at Turn5, doing it with no-echo...
You can add me as a friend ingame? What lvl are you ?
am I supposed to do those turns in order?
i salute you @sleek igloo and give you my best regards to finish bahamut
i'm 53 with white mage(main), on Mateus
revenj you can't add them because you're on Light
No, I am on Chaos
Primal is a different data center than Chaos
If you're chaos then please get the correct dc role :>
Demoniaco M'sa
my goodness i cannot get a party to do the coils for the first time, which ones would you recommend not skipping or doing the easy way with unsynched?
the i130 Aug Ironworks gear wasn't introduced until patch 2.4 or so, the ability to purchase it with Poetics is a catch-up mechanic
it would otherwise be a lot harder to gear up
Binding Coil is hard to get a party for because it is Savage tier content and is not part of any roulette, not even Mentor Roulette
Yea I figured that was the case since the duty finder says the min ilevel for the extreme trials is like 60/70
you need 8 people of appropriate roles to actually queue for it at the same time, which is pretty rare
hummmm so it's a lot harder for a trial 😛
EX trials at least have Mentor Roulette to fill it out, but they're still a much longer queue than normal content
I try to do Coil using PF
traditionally people do not queue for EX or Savage content, it's always arranged through Party Finder even if you intend to do it synced (on NA servers at least)
I don't think trial has this party finder?
Trial can use party finder, they just can’t make listing of their own
I never found it, what is hotkey? XP
u
that's duty finder 😦
click through the tabs
at the top
one of them should be trials if you have it unlocked
Party finder has no default keybind
You can set one for it in the keybind menu
The “Shortcuts” section
@lapis mountain
ok, thanks!
If I wanted to make a macro that says something in party chat, what would the syntax be?
is it not possible to kill ||The Avatar in Second Coil|| with only 2 people because of ||Ballistic Missile||?
/p text
You need a lot of damage to skip past it, but yeah you can’t cheese that mechanic at all
||the boss before t9? i soloed it with a lv 80 redmage||
||How'd you survive the binding + missile?||
I did the quest for storms path and i was able to use it but i cant all of the sudden, any idea?
||honestly i had no idea, i stood in the soak pool for like 2-3 seconds then pushed dps afterwards, not sure it matttered||
Yeah you basically push as much damage as possible
And skip the ballistic missile
that’ll work
My sister and I survived it by both using tanks. A GNB and WAR specifically.
are you in an instance that synched your level to below where youd have it?
should i just go for just when targeted/never since there's no "not during battle" option? pepeW..
i feel dumb, yes i was. thanks for pointing out that happens

how do I keep my pet hotbar from replacing my hotbar 1 while mounted
I believe the option is in the hotbar menu in character config
nah ||omega is just a call back to a very powerfull ancient machine built by another ancient ff civilizations in other games, in this one its a dimension traveling machine so its entirely possible for it to be the original FF omega||
also wouldnt asking the lore spoilers guys be better XD
Wdym by that?
a channel dedicated to lore discussion, where you don't have to spoiler tag everything
For the lvl 60 gear in Idyllshire, do I start with DoM I gear first, or just skip to DoM II gear?
hey im trying to start playing the game and my friend told me to buy this to get the game and all the dlcs, but it says it skips the main story but he says it game him all the dlcs is this a bug or something? its called "Tales of Adventure: Stormblood"
happens to the best of us
your in the wrong store, you are looking at the content skips and not the dlcs and purchases
this is where you buy the game for NA PC and I forgot if primal is eu or na
then this be what you want
Yoo that sale is crazy awesome!!
I dont know but you can buy and hold on to the key until after you get as far as you like in free trial
oh thats awesome, that actually is my concern
holy shit that sale's big
but isnt it attached to my acc?
bump
Only digital PS4/PS5 licenses are automatically used upon purchase
2, the one with Shire stuff
The i240 gear is basically only for glamour now.
is there a shortcut to opening materia melding menu?
oh damn 23 dollars for everything, sounds like my wife is about to join me
you can hotkey it, it's one of the options under general in actions
thank you!
i think 23 is only shadowbringers, still need the base game haha

thats off the site, thats everything right?
Does anyone have a macro for Aurum Vale? 😂 Just finished a run where the DPS had 6 stacks the whole last fight, and refused to eat Morbal Fruit. Just wanting to know what the command is for sound effects to make it more noticeable, thanks!
Thanks so much!
dps won't survive past four stacks of that shit
How do survive ||Heavensfall on Nael dues Darnus||? It just keeps one-shotting the carry as soon as it comes down, even before the yellow lasers.
Can't invuln through it
How important are the quests like "so you want to be a pugilist" or "so you want be a miner"
I know some of them unlock the other classes. But what's the advantages of the others (miner, goldsmith, etc)? Is unlocking classes better to do late game when your main class is already maxed or is their an advantage to playing other classes early on?
@cosmic sun its optional stuff for the most part
no real immediate tangible benefiyt
Is there a way to open a DM with the Moogle Kupo Bot?
hey guys, thinking of getting this free 14 day return event, when does it start counting? thinking of downloading the game now, but idk when it starts counting
when you log in
That's the move where ||the sword falls from the sky in the middle of the arena? You have to not stand in the middle of the arena, but also don't stand so far from the middle that the knockback knocks you into the death wall||
to the launcher, that is, not the game
in the game or the launcher?
Oh, it's a knockback effect too. Got it.
so, when i put it to download, it starts counting?
yes
Can you get gathering or crafting manuals from firmament?
go into Diadem to get stuff as Botanist or Miner, and then turn them in to the approver to get the approved version. Or alternatively, buy them off the MB for real cheap.
no
So while leveling my DoH/DoL classes, what is the best way to get manuals to make the grind go faster?
Yellow scrips
Do you get yellow scripts while gathering in the diadem?
There is so much gear in this game that can't be sold at AH... what the hell am I supposed to do with all these GC seals?
Already have 1000 ventures...
promote yourself xd
hi, i am in a party with my friend. 2 person. i am tank, she is dps. how do i do dungeon together?
when i use duty finder, only i am in the queue. we are trial players
is there a way to auto dismount when I try to use an ability?
I just unlocked the whole collectible things that I dont even know if I should be farming those manuals or just keeping grinding in the diadem
you need to form a party, but youre on trial so you need someone else to do it for you @wide oxide
@dull valley nopr
@hazy estuary whats your aim?
ty for the help! Im just getting into the whole crafting and gathering so rn my aim is to level up my Miner and botanist to 80 and use those mats latter to level up my crafters
hum
I got my miner at 60 and botanist at 50, so the grand company manuals are no longer too effective sadly
collectibles and the HW/SB/SHB crafter leves are great for levelling them up
im going to assume you dont have custom deliveries
so i have to fully complete my anima weapon before i can start the grind for another one right?
@fresh viper iirc yes
I did the quest to get the rowena thing, not sure if that is the same. If not then no, I dont have custom deliveries
ok thanks, guess i'll do other stuff for now
try collectibles; those are easy scrips and levels
could i ask what level is your highest crafter?
Is there an item in the shop to boost my character's level?
Ocean fishing also gives gatherer scrips
@leaden ginkgo yes, though what is your intention for the boost other than levelling?
need the dang oils for the last step and im out of poetics 
understandable lol
try doing @fresh viper alexander raids and hope to god theres a new player there who hasent done it
I'm a new player so I don't really know, do I have to make the quest chain of my class even if I get boosted?
for the 100 poetic bonus
I got my Blacksmith to 41 and that is it, stopped to level up my gathering classes first to reduce the cost of leveling the crafters
@leaden ginkgo the purpose of a job skip will complete all of those class quests for you
If you’re new don’t boost
Imo
hold on a sec xd
@leaden ginkgo but yes, what are you seeking other than to level your class? do you want to skip story or just level?
dont worry! I appreciate the help and i know you are trying to help multiple ppl at the same time haha, so take your time
@hazy estuary hmm, collectibles will do you a solid for a while then
I guess I want to do end-game dungeons, but I don't know if I'll get it or not, I'm just curious
ty, let me google up then how to get started on that
focus on getting HQ mats until you’re around 60~; so you can make the collectivle as high as possible regardless of mat quality
@leaden ginkgo Hum. You’re not on trial are you?
And what’s your current level / msq level?
im just trying to see if its worth it or not for you
Yeah, trial, but it's my first time playing, my level is 10, I don't know what msq is
because if you’ve just started out, im not sure that’s the best idea; for i dont know if you’re wasting your money or not
also could buy the game anytime
ah
@leaden ginkgo i would recommend sticking with the trial.
game is VERY complex at 80 if you have never played it before
keep at it until say, 50 / 60
what do bozjan coins do?
then decide upon a boost
because otherwise, i really dont know if youll enjoy the gameplay, etc
you’re very early on as well
that and lazerz is correct
you will not have an easy time at level 80; the raids and endgame is nothing like the base story
Is most off ARR and post-ARR normally played solo? Or is it normal to hook up with a party and tend to do story missions as a group?
@placid fern solo, but up to you
boosting past the story is pointless without boosting level, and vice versa, but skipping the story is taking out like 70% of the games fun value
its honestly subjective as to why people play, but my advice is to stick with the trial THEN decide if you want to skip or not

might be a stupid question but if i have the game on steam and i just wanna add 30 days and not a reaccuring sub do i select this?
@warm lagoon yes sir
wait so i have to get to the lux stage to get the replica for weapon glamour right?
ty
@fresh viper depends on what stage of the replica you want
theres an npc to the right of uhh
the relic quest guy
that you can get replicas for like, 200 gil
okay then I won't boost, I think my friends won't boost either so I'll just tag along
as is your decision!

Hmm, I haven't been able to stop this from happening
my mount hotbar, if my mount has skills, replaces my hotbar 1
is there any way to parse E5s-E8s? Or is there no way anymore since it's no longer the current tier?
Fiddle with the hotbar settings, there’s a button you can untoggle
my Rowena house of splendor is not showing up on my timers for some reason. Is there something you need for it to show up there after you unlock it?
When do dailies reset in FF14?
11 am
!reset
9 hours, 28 minutes, 8 seconds
14 hours, 28 minutes, 8 seconds
2 days, 2 hours, 28 minutes, 8 seconds
2 days, 2 hours, 28 minutes, 8 seconds
6 days, 20 hours, 28 minutes, 8 seconds
6 days, 14 hours, 28 minutes, 8 seconds
6 days, 7 hours, 28 minutes, 8 seconds
110 days, 2 hours, 28 minutes, 8 seconds
What's the GC reset refer to?
If you ever want to check, you can just use that in the #kupo-bot-spam channel too. And that refers to your missions allowences if im not mistaken
Grand Companies have their own dailies. They reset on a different timer for some reason.
Thank you very much
How do glamour plates work? I opened the thing in the city and it just shows my character naked
You assemble a glamour set in that interface using stuff you’ve placed in your chest or armoire. Once you’re finished with a set, save it as a plate and boom. You have a preset glamour.
my Rowena house of splendor is not showing up on my timers for some reason. Is there something you need for it to show up there after you unlock it?
so I'm not supposed to put gear in my inventory to save?
They’ve been consolidated. There is no longer a daily rotation.
Glam dresser is for glam
How can I check what I should gather from the collectibles then?
You’d mostly be going for custom deliveries
And those tell what is needed each week
Hello question, is their a way to hide the numbers of a hotbar?
Like i know i can make the entire bar transparent, but just the number
nvm found it
Gathering collectables have an icon next to them at all times when attempting to gather them. A small white box. Clicking on that item will then bring up a separate interface for collectable gathering. Note that the stuff that the House of Splendors wants will always have the “rarefied” prefix in front of it.
says untradeable and market prohibited
but if I want to glamour this item
does that mean this is the only place I can get it
Correct
oh wow
awesome! I got my botanist at 50 and my miner at 60. Would the best for me be to do some customer deliveries with my miner to get the scripts to then buy the manuals and level up my botanist with those?
ok ty, that's unfortunate
Sorry if it is a dumb question, trying to figure out the best way to level up my gatherers as it can get pretty repetitive being in the diadem lol
How do I visit another server? And can it only be in the same data center?
I stored the glamours into the dresser, how do I view them in the plate selection tab?
Custom deliveries are a great source of exp that many miss out on. Always worth doing those. And yeah that’s exactly what I’m doing for my miner atm.
bubble u go to a giant crystal thin, and i think its only same data center
the teleport hub thing
Click the slots and the appropriate gear will be selectable
Only lisma, Uldah or grid aetheryte allow for world visit
Clicking the slot does nothing
i wish it let u visit other data centers though
i wouldn't need to level an alt, i could fly to na during anti-social hours
Edit plates, then do as I said
But i think i read something about restrictions currently in place, so maybe later
lets say u dye something use it in galmour plate 1, then dye it again. unless u update glamour plate 1 it will use the previous dye
I've got a question. I've put a few items in my glamour dresser. I can equip the items (right class and level). But when I come to use the glamour plate, there's red X on two pieces and I can't glamour. If I use the plate, it glamours everything but these two pieces. Any ideas why?
oh so if the gear is higher level than current gear it won't work?
is the leveling roulette good for all levels, or is it something you should only be using for sub 50 classes?
Yeah, that’s why glam specific gear is always lvl 1
leveling rouletteis good for everyone
To do at least once anyway
i'm level 76, and the 50/60/70 normally gets me a decent amount of exp
yeah ive been doing my 506070, but im trying to get a drk from 57-60 and the grind has been painful
im afraid im just gonna have to brace and do msq roulette
you're prob better of just doing the highest dungon
Why didn't you tell me you were leveling a DRK so I could level AST with you 
ive been leveling drk for what feels like weeks but only because im dreading it and hoping it gets more fun after 60
im sorry ill shout it to the world next time
is that the masssive shield?
25% hp
tbn is what makes drk worthwhile, it should NOT be level goddamn seventy
But it is 70 
i knew about taht move, but all the vids i watched before playing the game said drk was fun and im just
failing to find that fun
I always pray for prae on msq roulette. The freakin best time
Ice Mage they might get the best midigation
i got gunbreaker and never looked back til it hit 80
Prae makes me go uwu
but
Castrum makes me go 
they get the worse invalublity in the entire game
If you have a WHM or AST it's the best
WHM presses one button
i watched crap guide to final fantasy tank guide.
AST presses like two
he told me Drk night button makes them die
But do you know what Living Dead actually does
em makes u die and brings u back with 1 hp or something
i play paladin
so i can heal when the healer dies
Living Dead puts a 10 second debuff on you that prevents you from dropping below 1 hp
the healer has to heal the drk for equivalent to their max hp
before it expires or they actually die
If/when you hit 1 hp that debuff gets replaced with Walking Dead and your invuln kicks in
You die, then become undead for 10 seconds, then you die for real
If I remember correctly it’s not full hp. You have to heal from the previous amount
Your healer(s) have ten seconds to restore 100% of your maximum hp or Walking Dead kills you even if you're at 99% hp
throwback to hw launch where you actually had to reach full hp instead of healing for the equivalent
Yeah Paladin > Drk
making it almost literally impossible for anyone without bene available
then again i'm new so shrugs
it's a sizable if though
They just Bene them as soon as WD pops
See i love healers, but a few times i had my healers die in Trials and i had to tank and heal
Nah
i don't think whm loves drk back
Make them wait
9 seconds before bene
Because TBN means we have to heal them less :D
have they said anything about how sage is gonna work exactly?
im still new to healing, just have a whm at 35, but want more options lmao
A man of culture
it'll be a barrier-based healer like sch
like naruto i would guess
that's all we know
Like Sage mode in all
I like to play can you reach 1% before I have to heal you LUL
GNB: I can get 1% after you heal me 
NOOOOO PTSD
I’m bee lining to sage once EW drops
Time for some #general-discussion
for my Churning Mists Aether Currents i found all of them except 2 from quests, i have no idea what the last two quests are, the blue quests in the zone dont give it =/
Do you have the MSQ aether current?
not yet but really soon im a couple quests away
How many Loathsome Memories of the Dying do you get from Alliance raids?
1, and only for crystal tower
I've just done the 5.3 dungeon, and before the final boss the ||NPCs from all the role quests|| appeared. There always appear all of them, or only from the ||role quests|| a player has done?
All appear, but some of their dialogues change depending on if you’ve done their quests
Do i have to unlock the chocobo before I can get my advanced job at 30?
thxs, nice, I loved that because their quests are one of the parts I've enjoyed more in ShB
Need to have completed the level 20 MSQ “Sylph-Management”
@jade quartzhow do I get that? I joined a faction, etc
Literally 2 quests later
Important side note the chocobo quests isn’t from the msq. It will show up as important under the msq at the top left once you are able to do it. It’s a blue quest
so i have to grind for the currency to buy chocobo and then next class?
Look at the rewards for the msq
The msq after you unlock the chocobo quest gives you 300 for free
!faq mount
'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.
You need 200 to buy the chocobo issuance
You don't have to grind for it. Completing the quest right after joining your GC gives you enough to buy the license.
And then the quest right after that is the one that unlocks job progression.
Like, two quests after
First one sends you to Vorsaille and then he gives you the msq that unlocks job quests
what do bozjan coins do?
don't u get all mount speeds anyway as u progress
Is there anywhere I can see how many runs of potd I need to do from my current level to level 70
HoH sorry
only the 1st rank
And it's kinda irrelevant cause it doesn't upgrade flying
so it's only useful in like bozja where you can't fly
hi, I've been collecting astral nodule and umbral nodule from fates lately. sometimes i realize i don't get the luminous crystals and sometimes i do. i want to know what factors that make me get it and don't?
Quick google
rng
whats a good way to level a dps 71-80
Bozja
skirmishes
fates
CEs
or, skirmishes, but they're fates by another name
the fates give you 1mil-2mil xp if you get gold
is it possible to switch from a thurmaturge to arcanist if i want to be a summoner but i picked thurmaturge on accident? lol
once you hit level 10 you can go unlock other classes
I picked axe class at the start and at lv5 my main quest is to equip 5 lv5 armours for 5 parts. But I can't find missions for more gear except the lv5 class quest. Couldn't find the gear I need from the merchant aswell. Do I have to farm monsters or is there a quest I couldn't find which could help me out.
so just keep going with thurmaturge for now?
or you could just delete and reroll it doesn't sound like you've been playing long
i havent im level 6 lol
Yeah best to just remake your character for that early
The merchant right by the person that judges your gear should have level 5 stuff
Ah, will check it right now
I hid the chat, how do I get it back?
are all of the jobs fairly balanced in terms of usefulness?
!faq meta
I just got back to the game and forgot some things . How can i stop the TTS thing ?
oh nice
Hit Enter and it should show back up and focus the input bar
As a White Mage, can i spam Holy because the stun times stack, or does the second Holy override the first one ( i guess the last second of it )
is there a way to port my settings, hud layout, and keybinds from another character?
you can copy/paste the files in the ff14 documents folder
this is pretty good right? first time
check google or youtube for a more detailed guide
i dont get it im doing a msq its probably a trap
how do i get to the ruby bazaar its all like marked red
nvm
Currently im lvl 58 whats the best way to hit lvl 60 now
The stun won’t reapply until it wears off, so you always get the full overall stun duration
is dungeons the best way to lvl Tanks/Healers?
Generally, yes
Are any rings unique? As in you can't wear 2 copies of them?
Do your daily roulettes and spam your highest level dungeon
Most dungeon and ones from raids are, yes.
Their only lvl 50 xD. would that be enough?
lvl 80 ones
xp scales
Are they marked as such somehow?
If you mean dungeon then don’t run them.
Heavensward msq should give you higher ones
oh, any suggestion on which dungeon?
Yes they’ll have unique at the top of the tooltip
Oh true ye
Dungeons don’t scale in experience except as part of a roulette’s daily bonus
rip
Are there any other "hidden" classes like rogue in the base free game?
No
So rogue is the only one
Are there like any discord servers for doing high en duties, and farming etc. that anyone knows off
Do I need a DoH to add Aetherstones to gear?
Wait, so Aetherstones crafting items, not augment?
You mean materia?
Allagan Aetherstones
Those are crafting materials to craft ARR armor/weapons
Talk about a confusing description
is doing bozja 71-80 quicker than HoH 61-71?
i would say so yes, but speedwise it depends on how fast you do CE's and Skirmishes
but from what i generally hear, bozja is a lot faster than potd or hoh spam
Can I get enkidu through soloing the trial? Or do I have to be synced?
i believe it drops from the chest at the end, so yes you can solo it
Chest? I don’t remember seeing one.
Itll drop on clear no matter what in the chest
I gotta do it again then. Just did it twice.
i saw some people have dummys in dungeon ? and can uses lb123 like free camera thing
where and how to get that
Thats explorer mode
its explorer mode, and its only available in shb and level 70 dungeons, you can enable it in the duty finder settings
can i teleport to specifc area inside dungeon or i have to walkthrough
you can teleport to each boss room, you can also mount up inside
o nice Thanks
Currently I am a gladiator and after finishing my job quests so far, I was given the option to switch to a paladin. I don't like paladin, but I am wondering if I should do the job quests for it anyways just for the xp.
I would rather be a samurai
Only thing I’ve gotten from trying to solo the Enkidu trial is the triad card and the faded music copy. So guess I gotta sync it in a group.
job quests are essentially mandatory and you are basically griefing if you dont upgrade to paladin since you wont have access to key skills going forward
Which trial are you doing? Battle at Big bridge?
Yes
Thats not the one that gives the chicken minion
Is that the wrong one?
That explains it then. I assumed it was a weird se design.
Explains why you didn't see a chest
hello. is there a list of yellow quests worth doing from ARR - ShB? such as "The path we walk" from post-HW. I also just did "fifth lord" from post-SB.
even if there's no emote/minion, but if there's additional story like the two i mentioned, it's fine
is Conjurer white mage?
yes
ty ❤️
Are Pre-orders or game time codes really sold out at this time?
Conjurer starts as healer and becomes white mage at 30
Arcanist starts as dps and can become a healer at 30

Was editing my settings and idk what I changed but now whne I press W to move forward, it automatically starts typing in chat window?
disable direct chat under character control settings
ty
So I'm playing Pugilist, almost Monk, and I'm really having a hard time distinguishing when I'm hitting the flank with my skills
!faq positionals
!faq positionals

Industrial
there's not anything visually distinct and i'm not sure if there's a clear unique audio indicator for it
I has question about AST
The big number and exclamation is just a crit, right? Not like, getting the positional
that's crit or direct hit yeah
those are not indicative of positionals
besides uh bootshine later on
Is it worth using Redraw to get an arcana with a different seal for the extra Divination % boost even if the arcana ends up being not for the dps I have (i.e two phys dps but I get caster cards or two casters and I get phys cards)?
hey guys, i finally got 30 on my archer and am now a bard. How / where do i learn performance?
Gotcha, also, does moving AFTER initiating the skill affect whether it hits positionals? Like, if I activate Bootshine on the flank, and move to the back before the final hit, will that count on the flank or on the rear?
the divination would be more important to go for
There's a sidequest at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre
an extra % on the entire group would probably be better than that 3% lost on one person i'd imagine
or just give it to the tank / healer
I am the healer
then give it to yourself i guess, the same idea still applies
thank you, i was looking at the wrong place in gridania
wouldnt 3% boost on dps be better than 6% boost on healer
probably actually
Is there any significance to the yellow text for my Ixal? Or is that just the "Sworn" title text color
but yeah astro does shit for personal dps anyway compared to a blm
so id sooner buff them
yeah that makes sense
Title color
either way the divination is more important than just the card
is there like a list of good strat for collectables? or is it purely rng with the skills you have?
Oh I have another question
What do I do with all my cracked stellacluster that it says I can turn in for VIII materia
how long does it take to lvl DK from 30 to 50? And what would be the best way to do it?
its my first time arriving at the ||ruby sea|| there is an aether crystal thats very far away, should i go get that or am i not supposed to rn?
kinda want to play him, but don't want to lvl him up at all :E
You can trade it with Thex at Eulmore
Did you know that the msq likes to take you to aetherytes?
yes which is why i was wondering
You have to level him up if you want to play him :D
if i should get that now or if its even possible
ok
yeah I just want to know how long will it take, since I don't play a lot and rather prefer to follow story if it will take few days
It'll take you less than a week
oof, well I will stick to pld then and later try gnb
What's a good healer if you want to only level one?
You literally can only use conjurerer as a healer from level 1
Sorry I meant if I only want one healer at 80?
!faq meta
All healers are good
When is make it rain ending?
August 11
Ah ty
oh shid
any of them's a good healer, it comes down to preference
Where do I turn in the quarzt collectibles? The idyllshire npc does not take them in
Nope
whatever is bis for raids is the bis for dungeons
Just wear whatever is the highest ilvl, for dungeons you really don't need to try hard and get bis for melds
Also dungeons are a joke
Extreme trials are also kind of a joke once you know what you're doing
Do you have the minimum collectability?
try mor dhona collectable appraiser
that too
I see
Savage and Ultimate raids are where BiS come into play but that pertains to gear and not jobs
how can we dye out class specific gear? or we cant?
!faq afgeardye
A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.
Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Yolaine in the 'Artifact Gear Exchange' option.
Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.
Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.
Thanks! The one in Mor Dhona does takes them!
Is the exclamation-mark-above-head emote available?
Understood so I can max one healer and use it in all content obviously depending on gear and skill level
for the quartz I did not get the collectables minigame for some reason, so i does not seem like i can turn them in for some reason
That's what I did
My only 80 healer is WHM
Nice yeah cos I like tanks and dps more but wanna have one healer maxed
Just gonna check out what they're like to play at level 80 before choosing which one
Can camera zoom be increased beyond default?
If your item is below the minimum collectability tier, it's worthless. Toss it.
Not really but you can use /tiltcamera or ctrl-up or ctrl-down to adjust tilt

/tiltcamera takes a value between 1-100
really liking stormblood so far
So is this blade armor the new BiS?
Greeting, guys
I have a question about Complete Edition = Do i get 30 Days for Free as non new player? Because i brought the base game, stormblood and heavensward already. And People told me to buy only Shadowsbringer (idk the reason, but i can only see the complete edition to buy it).
nope
still cryptlurker and edenmorn combined based on class
blade gear is 525 which is not bis
hi guys any help with a queue for a dungeon in chaos ? its been 48 mins as dps
Just a quick question, If I buy they complete collectors edition on one platform, and I decide to switch platform later so I have to buy they game again, do I also have to buy the collectors edition or just the game + expansions
mogstation
It takes the spots of a few jobs depending on secondary stats
? Why not Blade fury? Is that not a better weapon?
the gap in stats from 525 to 530 is small enough for good secondary stats to beat out bad secondary stats
Your character coes have a slight yellow glowing you hit positionals. But it's very easy to miss unless you're looking gor it
and all jobs use the complete relic weapon for their BiS
Blade fury is the complete relic weapon for 5.5
yes i know.
Just the game + expacs, you keep your collector's stuffs
So why is edengrace rod showing in a guide for 5.5 as BIS?
the faeries in Shadowbringers have a unique way of tone and speech.. which countries are the voice actors from?
What guide?
Most, if not all non-JP voice actors, are in Europe.
are hunt spawns different for every server on a data center or are they the same?
they each have their own spawn timers if you mean that.
that’s weapon not armor, which was not in your original question
cool.. once the pandemic eases up, I'd be happy to live there a while
I know I’m just confused is all
Im making sure - if im on louisoux and there's ragnarok in the same datacenter, does that mean the timers for louisoux and ragnarok are the same?
that’s just the combo thing is it not
That's a gearset from 5.4, before the completed relic was out.
the relic is bis, the armor is not
@outer mural if thats the case I must be misinformed. I saw the yellow glow thingie here awhile ago
