Can't friend-request someone if they're not there, unfortunately.
Ty!
hi! i keep getting crashes caused by dx11 errors and a file called kernel? is reinstalling the only way to fix this?
Y’all I’ve seen ppl as Captains in their GC. I’m second Lieutenant and it says I reached the max?
Is it cause I’m only lvl50?
Or is that cause my city state is different from my GC? It still says my city state is limsa even tho I’m wit twin addlers
Need to do adventurer squadron stuff
You can't just ask for promotions at that point
Go to the door on the left inside the GC HQ
Does New Game plus give XP
Would y'all say that healing is more stressful than damage or tanking?
Is it possible to swap those settings? So that LMB drag will also turn the character? I've been looking everywhere for this
Oh bet I did deploy them to their first mission
How high do I need to get them to lvl up even more on GC? Also , any new features from becoming first Lieutenant or captain?
Which Shadowbringers EX primals would you say are the most difficult at current ilvl? I have my Titania, Innocence, and Hades mount and I'm debating which to grind next.
I have it done I think
Emerald
Diamond is a cakewalk and everything else is scaled for 500 or less
Hi guys, 🙂
That's 5.0
Mechanically I'd say sos still probably beats it tho
OH do I have to do these
Yes
Maybe I'll learn both Emerald and SoS for now then so I can alternate and avoid burnout
That's the next, one time only steps
Thank you!
Is there a cross link channel for Chaos for the reddit/discord or just FF14 community in general ? I like the people in my fc but we aren't many and when I play solo (which is a lot I need 95% of that xD) it tends to be a bit lonely 😄
Sos I'd honestly call savage-lite in terms of: fuck up a mechanic and everyone dies
So kind of like Hades in that regard
Not really, hades has massive downtime between phases
@warm snow Holy molly that's a lot to read, thanks I'll read later ^^
If I dye a weapon, then use that weapon to glamour another, does the glamoured weapon take the dye, too? I hope I said that right
Glamouring does copy dye yes
ty
not that I can find =/
when does one , encounter their first raid?
are recommended gear not accurate? It doesn't recommend the right one for weaver class
I am stuck on this screen and I can't do anything, Have any of you encountered this before or have any ideas on how to fix it?
I guess, its because the responsability for the party survival falls upon the healer, and even tho it might not be your fault that someone died, you still feel responsable somehow
The right one is better, it has more control
Yeah, I'm just confused as to how accurate the recommended gear feature are
very accurate for the most part
It's pretty accurate for the most part
cant say i remember a instance where it didnt recommend me the actual upgrade
Depends on your definition of raid
The first 8 man trial you get access to is msq
Level 49
funny thing is that after I change, it doesn't recommend me the older one
alright im close
The first alliance raid is level 50 msq/arr post game
The first normal raid series you can realistically do is Alexander in hw post game
Why would it recommend something with lower stats
It picks whatever has the highest stats for your job
Would you say that healer rotations and stuff are more difficult than dps?
but it doesn't recommend me the higher stat ones 🥲
It is, the veleten has more control
It's better
Healer rotations are simple
can you play music instruments if you're not a bard ?
do people usually do eureka in parties?
only get a bit more involved when your party is taking too much dmg too fast and you gotta use the skill to reduce cast/cd time, regen mp and alternate between AoE, Heal and removing debuff from party, thats when you usually see the most action as healer
Healers don't have "rotations"
They have a spell that does damage, a spell that casts a dot and a bunch of healing stuff that's used as needed
ahh I get which one is better, was just confused as to why it wasn't recommended, thanks for the info though!
Gatherers/crafters dont need defensive stats, just the bonuses, unless you need the defense in case you hit yourself in the head with your crafting/gathering tool
Well how difficult is managing the healing stuff?
depends on situation
Not very unless you're planning on doing savage content
Is it normal to have a queue time estimate of over 30 mins? I'm trying to do Brayflox and it would suck having to wait the whole length (I'm playing Warrior)
ahh I meant stats including the control one
The right one has everything better so it's a given it would be recommended (altho the only thing it actually cares about are the bonuses and not armor)
it cares primarily about item level, which directly correlates to your main stats, like control in this case
Where do I find the innkeeper in Gridania?
I am always capped on tomestone of poetics. Is there anything I can buy with it instead of glamour? Maybe make some gill.
!faq poetics
ty
@faint flare cheers mate!
So I just finished up the MSQ for the first part of ARR (praetorium)
My item level is too low for the hard dungeon, i got aroun 250K gil/
Where can I get some decent items for that to replace some of the bad ones on me?
and where can I sink my gil?
Don't buy gear with gil
Oke thank you
So what do I spend my gil on right now?
Nothing
Gold mounts are a gold sink, but like that’s millions
dyes
or convert it to hell in the saucer?
You can’t
or right
you can't
I think i was charged twice on my sub
ahh it wasn't recommended, I put it on item comparison
Should I start doing ifrit hard mode now to get better gear and farm tomestones?
what's the best method of obtaining gil?
Go unlock all the lv50 side dungeons
And do them for the first time bonuses
And crystal tower and hard mode primals
Since those are mandatory anywau
Also unlocks more roulettes for tomes
no, both gear and poetics are connected, you need the poetics to get the best 50~60 gear (ironworks), best way to get the poetics is daily roulette and castrum meridianium i guess
i switched to 180 days, and got extra retainer. I check my bank account it says: SE 77.94 bucks went through and SE 84.00 went through. Was i charge twice on sub?
I'm thinking about getting into ffxiv as an astrologian, I haven't healed in any other games, and wondering whether it'll be super stressful to learn
I've got this new really weird annoying issue where whenever I warp to another zone, the camera defaults to top down - does anyone know a fix?
does rarity make a difference when gear gets synced down?
like, would i get more stats from a purple (relic) weapon than i would get from a green? i guess not but ask anyway 😄
Gear colours means nothing
Other than were it's from
All gear follows the same sync rules
question, what are the dark knight relic weapons from heavensward called?
It depends on what you feel is stressful. Ast has some of the quickest heals right now, especially with Lightspeed, so you can really get healing exactly where you want it when you want it most of the time; and Earthly Star is super big beefy. But Ast also has a match-3 minigame it keeps playing in between GCDs while it tries to buff party damage, so if thinking about what cards you have up feels like too much going on, then you might not like it.
Cronus Lux is the final step of anima for drk
Either way I'd say give it a test and see what you think yourself.
Yeah think it’s between it and summoner so I can check those both out
A noble goal but you have to get pretty far to unlock it.
does grand company matter? like, I play and level with my SO, will it matter if one of us choose maelstorm and the other didn't?
No
Hey just wanted to ask, what does Error 1018 specifically mean
There's no functional difference
It used to matter in Pvp now it just changes some dialogue.
can we team up for pvp?
Yes
For example, if you meet an npc from your gc they’ll refer to you by rank and/or salute you instead of calling your character by name.
Yeah ik
Only in certain cases though.
Raubhan, the absolute bro
question how does buying additional retainer work along with sub
how do i remove glamour enchantments off of an item?
Glamour dispeller
how do i use them?
Right click gear > glamour > remove
Glam, remove glam
Hi guys, is it possible to see the queue for a world? am on free trial and its kinda annoying it closes my game everytime i try log in
where can i shut down all the buff stuff that my mates get all over my screen? just wanna see my stuff
hello, I could do with some help. I am trying to reinstate my login and I need a one time access code
Turn off Pop up text in character configuration > ui > hud
which I can't get without logging in
Isn’t the one time password only if you have two factor authentication?
which you need
No it’s optional.
well I have it turned on
those are just my mates? 🙂
any huge drawbacks to switching to RDM as soon as I hit 50?
!checkping
Only if you don’t like red mage?
!checkping
so what to do is the question
#kupo-bot-spam
perfect, ty.
And it's "!faq checkping"
Call customer service at that point I guess.
I have the number if you want it.
I saved it on my new phone when my phone broke and I couldn’t access my two factor. They fixed it in minutes.
I bought the standard edition with 30 days playtime for 9,99. After that time, does it refresh automatically? Because If i cancel that now, it says I cant play anymore the second i cancel
sure
If you set up automatic renewal it does
Cancelling stops auto renewal
(310) 846-0345
But doesn't remove current time
That’s the SE customer service line. I don’t know if they’re open today but they will be tomorrow.
Call them soon as they open and be nice. XD
what do i do when this happens?
Not really much you can do other than try again later. :/
Not sure. Maybe it’s just that full? Idk.
i guess its kinda peak hour
They stopped trials being able to play when there's a que recently
Can I login my NA account on steam ffxiv?
See pins for reasons
i could do it like 2 days ago so just a bit weird
ty
Cause there was no que when you logged in
there was
Or the least a tiny one
Yeah that's basically no que
i see
Anything like past 100 will block
ty for ur help
SE?
does anyone know how to level up black mage quickly??
!faq altlvlguide
!faq altlvlguide
NOT AGAIN

Are there any good resources for tracking/sharing Odin FATE spawns?
Any of the hunt discords would have people tracking stuff like that
Stuff like uhhh
is dark knight fun
That’s a very subjective question.
I think it’s alright but other people might disagree.
The playstyle is about managing your mp to max your damage while leaving enough to mitigate incoming damage.
That’s the most basic explanation of the playstyle I can manage.
i guess i just gotta try it
Also it will depend on if you like playing tank. Because that’s what you’re going to be doing.
@wintry chasm Thanks, I joined the Aether Hunts discord as well
is there a place in this discord i can try to find a guild for my server?
But hey you never know. I had a friend that didn’t like tanking until they released gun breaker.
Recruitment channels below
Am I alright to throw away my old gear when I get better stuff or should I do something else with it
whats a good way to get 1420 allegory tomestones only have 2 dungeons that give it and they only give 50 per run so that'd take near 30 runs, already done my daily roulettes
There’s not really much else to do besides hope for new player bonuses.
is there any dungeons that give more than 50 per run?
that I do not remember.
The last two dungeons for the story I believe
At least they give more revelation than others
that's the US phone number
Hello I have a quesytion regarding a quest//NPC in Kugane
I can't fine the NPC "News Hawker" to pick up the quest "A Lone Wolf No More" is there something Im missing?
Ah sorry man, you'd have to look up your region.
alrighty
it's just wearing out, because I can't login to get an access code because I can't login, and I can't login because I can't get an acess code
have you used all of the kamuy whistles?
I'm a little confused on servers
I have my current toon on Faerie and the ST says 7pm, but my time zone is EST so my actual time is 3pm. Is there a server that is on EST?
No I oonly have two dogs... that I bought lol I wasnt sure how to get this quest but if I have to get the other dogs first then yeah I'll look for them first
and it is intensely, unbelieveably, undeniably frustrating after the day I have just had, I want to sit down and play video games but I have to jump through more hoops to play games than the fucking kyoto protocol
is it one of those "get all dogs first" quest before you get the last dog?
ye you need all of the kamuys first before you can get that
thank you
Right, so I was wondering if there is a server on my local time
you can, but not all items are dyeable
for most things server time doesn’t really matter, NA servers are active all hours of the day except super early in the morning
!faq dyeicons
basically just need to look at the tooltip to see if its dyeable or not
sometimes items require you to augment them first before they can be dyed however
im not sure if the ??? are there for endwalker already, if im missing eureka on this char or something else
??? are just instances that don't fall into a currently accessible area
for now its just the Return to Ivalice raids and Gangos iirc
huh, ok good to know, thanks
So Odin(Hard) is actually EX level of difficulty?
yes, the urths fount trial is effectively an extreme
despite not being placed under that header
so its not in trial roulette
I regret picking up that quest. Now it's gonna stay in my quest log forever
can always abandon it and do it later
when you're max lvl and can easily kill it unsync
If I unsync it will it count as complete?
yep
Alright. Hopefully my FC is bored enough to help
Where is the leather bound tome in GGL, or do you get it automatically by beating hard mode?
Automatically
👍 Thank you
Any quest thar says get an item from a dungeon just means complete it
Gotcha, good to know
does it actually matter what gear you give retainers so far as what rewards they come back with?
For nier raid, do I replay it until I get whatever gear I want
Yes
Combat retainers only care for ilvl, gathering only cares for gathering stat
what's the fastest way (or recommended way) to farm poetics?
!faq poetics
how do i get a relic for my secondary job?
Be on that job and accept the quests all over from the start
i got my yoshimitsu on ninja
but when i swap to sam and go to the guy in horizon there is no such quest
https://i.imgur.com/BrJ5Ndt.png how does one cancel this
Duty finder
that doesnt do anything
There's no withdraw at the bottom?
yep gerolt or rowena or nedrick dont mentioon anything bout a relic 😦
Samurai doesn't have a arr relic
Only stormblood and shadowbringers relics
Expansion jobs don't get relics retroactively
i see, ill look into it hwen ireach stormblood then thanks tails 😄
Is it efficient to level up by doing POTD? Idek what’s the max floor I can do I’m lvl34 rn
Did the first 10 floors with me healing and 3 DPSes. When will we need an actual tank heal 2 dps set up
Oh bet
hey im a level 28 gladiator, if i become a paldain i go back to level 1?
ok thanks for clearing it up
how do u lvl up other classes?
doing my main, msq seems the best, any other way would take an insane amount of time
!faq altlvlguide
How am I supposed to progress in potd 50+ if my gear doesn’t meet reqs? Do I need to reset progress and get lucky with the upgrades?
Hello friends, im having issues getting into my account. Because it says my registration code has been used.
Is it normal for a cash shop mount to not be delivered even after a day of its purchase? Do I have to do anything to activate it or should it have come through Moogle Delivery?
a day? are you sure it was sent to the right character?
can soemone DM what happened to the guy who helps use with a ship near the end of 2.0
it's an account wide mount I think, it was this one: https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/product/662
I also bought emotes and those were delivered, when I bought those they let me specify a character, but for the mount it didn't give me the option to specify any characters
oh, those mounts should just get sent to all your characters via delivery moogle
im about to get into HW and I havent seen him since 2.0 ended
Where do I turn clusters into materia now again?
gotcha, I guess I should contact support then, I haven't gotten the whistle (and I already have a chocobo mount)
have you clicked the button ingame to request delivery as well?
I don't think I have, what is that?
if you go to a delivery moogle or mailbox there's a button at the top that says "Reward/Purchase Delivery Request"
Anyone knows what could be causing that my discord keeps half-crashing while playing FF14? My screen turns black for a few seconds as if I alt tab, then returns to normal. Discord window is completely black and unresponsive but I can still use VC and everything. Keeps happening each hour or so
Will servers like Gilgamesh open up for creating new characters? Or do I have to keep refreshing like before to see
For the Grand Companies, is there any reason not to just go all out in giving stuff for the Expert Delivery? I mean, if I'm not using it for my character an all that..
if you're not using the gear then there's no reason not to
I just tried the button and it didn't work D: thanks for the help though! I think I probably gotta contact support
I was just wondering if I missed anything but I think something might've went wrong
might still take a bit

is there an optimal way healers switch through allies and enemies? I usually play dps and i never had a targetting system set for allies so im kinda confused
You will eventually cap the seals
I personally just watch hp and click on members in the party list, but you can set keybinds to target certain members in your party as well
Click on Allies Hud for healing and Tab for enemies
Gotcha! I'll be careful not to. I just need to go hard so I can promote up asap.
Hi! is there any discord to search for savage, farm, parties finder, static recruitment ?
yeah my friend told me to just click on them. Normally i target enemies with my mouse wheel by just scrolling but i felt like that wouldn't be great for fast heals
Also, I get the feeling that maybe I've been playing a lil too much FF14 considering I just tried to scroll up by pressing w

I am new to this game, how do I change classes?
Pres "C" to go to your character screen and press the icon that looks like a piece of paper. Is just above your character image.
pick up their class quests to unlock new classes, and simply switch your weapon to change classes once you have it
What is enmity?
hi all, is there any good place to get group for palace of dead 1-50?
Enmity is a number which determines which person the boss targets
Is there an objective (or even subjective) best way to make gil using MB (or even anything other than just MSQ), without having crafters maxed yet?
Enmity = aggro
When you heal or deal damage, you gain enmity, but tank has a bunch of ways to make sure they have more enmity than anyone else
Thanks, im playing marauder and i just saw the level 10 skill pop up that increases its generation
Well, everyone has some level of enmity, but the tank should have the most yes
Got it
You turn it on to make sure the enemies don't squish healers or dps
Oh ok
Leveling up CUL right now. Where do I go to get newer crafting gear?
How do healers have that text come up when they res someone? Like ''Get up your job isn't done'' etc
Macros
Ohh
Buy it from vendors or craft it yourself
ARR markets have 1-50, Ishgard for 50-60, Kugane for 60-70, and Crystarium for 70-80
I see accessories going up to 35 in limsa. Im guessing Mor Dohna goes higher?
Accessories are very hit and miss in vendor availability
thanks!
Can ppl vote someone out in a party? Like in instance
Just go into Idyllshire and all of the new currencies/tradeable items are kind of overwhelming.
Should I for example start grinding for things like blue crafters' scrip tokens? Or will new gear be better soon and is it not worth it?
Just grab shire gear from Hismesa and bertana
Oki thanks
Is there a way to hide my jewelry? They don’t match with my look
well, yes, but you have to be a certain level
there is a set of gear called the emperor's ring, bracelet, etc. it's glamour sold in mor dhona that is invis
can also buy it in vesper bay
I’m max level
but it requires you to have a lv15 crafter (that is NOT culinarian) to do the quest to be able to buy them
Does weaver count? My weaver is high level
Thanks
its just cul can't make glamour prisms thats why its a noted exception
What do I do with the approved restoration items for DoLs?
either sell or use them to craft and level up your own DoH
on the marketboard
from gathering inside of diadem
ah
reason why diadem is a recommended choice for leveling is because it lets kill two birds with one stone (level gatherer while getting mats for your doh)
it also has fairly low gear requirements so you don't need to keep your gear as up to date
but if you want to level dol quickly, leves and collectables are much better exp
initial materials from gathering in the diadem needs a lvl 40 DoH though
yea but the ones from the recourses from mining in the diadem
but
Why cant I approve iron
ah
and you can gather lvl 20 materials from diadem, provided your miner isn't too high
As what the nodes offer changes slightly depending on your level
Is Carpenter really the most profitable crafting in the game?
no
Reading a forum right now that says furniture makes bank lmao
personally don't find furniture to be that great of gil making because the market tends to be fairly slow
and even then carpenter isn't the only crafter with furniture to make
Oh ok
ultimately you have to look at your marketboard to find a niche to sell in if you want to make gil, you're gonna want everything leveled regardless tho
cos if you don't level the other crafters, youre going to have to buy mats
And for Warrior, would you say that culinary is useful?
and to be self sufficient in repairing your gear/melding
right right
crafting/gathering is a lot more of a time investment than other games tbh
since they are their own classes, with gear and skills
yeah that's what i was hoping for lol
where do I find skybuilders fine sand then?
I cant find it anywhere in the gathering log
what quest do i need to complete to get my very first relic/
for my gunbreaker i mean
...
and there's no reason to craft any of the previous phase recipes
just focus on phase 4 stuff
Yo sorry this is long but like im lvling tank for my first run through of the game and like, how do you deal with getting everything to aggro you in dungeons when you don’t have provoke up and either someone attacks a group before you get there or things spawn and run before you can aggro them. I really don’t get the emminty thing lol
No
no
tank stance
Well yeah
these are all the phase 4 recipes for cul
But besides that
do damage
as you can see, there is low level recipes
You have a spammable ranged move for each tank to grab enemies from a distance
How do I unlock pvp? I went to wolves den and did the quests and im lv30, but its still locked.
yeah you also have aoe's for group aggro.
Shield Lob/Tomahawk/Unmend/whatever GNB’s is called
what tank are you even playing

can i make alchemy automatic? i want to watch some netflix
Quick Synthesis and using macros are the best you can do
Quick Synthesis being bad for experience/HQ items, and macros need you to press a button per craft

These should be the vendors that sell weapons
They only accept items with a high enough collectability
AKA raising the quality bar
curious, if I wanted to ultimately try rdm at 50, what would be the best class to start with?
doesn't particularly matter
can go with thaumaturge or arcanist just so you'll have appropriate accessories for it but ultimately

pretty much any fc will have that buff up all of the time
no, that's for the flying text that displays on the screen that tells you "action not ready yet", which is accompanied by a sound
does anyone here play with ~180-200 ping? If so how is the double weaving?
=)
don't play MCH or NIN
ah, i take it it clips then?
am considering on moving to EU servers from NA (chaos specifically). i get around 180 ping on an alt i tried there
if your reaction time is over 2s you literally can't double weave
hey is there a key for auto targeting enemies?
yes
2? or 0.2?
Tab I think is default for that @urban grotto
you can use Tab to target the next enemy on your screen, which sweeps left to right in priority
Or shift tab
or in my case I bound C to "target nearest"
because that's what's familiar to me
There's a whole tab devoted to Targeting in your Keybind menu
note the scroll bar on the right hand side, meaning the displayed options are not an exhaustive list
i have target nearest to mouse button 1 and previous to 2. just a 10€ mouse from local shop with 2 buttons
also "nearest to furthest" is misleading
got it, thanks!
I just saw someone with a t-rex mount lol. How do you get that exactly? I searched and it says lockboxes but from where
eureka a dungeon or something that i can find in teh duty finder?
No
It’s the relic zone for SB
Is there a way to track how much gil you’ve earned from selling things other than to just open your retainer sell history and pull out a calculator
Especially considering that sale history only shows so many entries
So the leveling process is doing main scenario quests, job quests, and unlock quests, and if there are none available level. What are the efficient sources of xp?
my hotbar 3, how do I make it show on my screen, hobar 1 and 2 I can see but not 3 😒
In that case, you could turn to dungeons
And raids and such
does the level of your crafter dictates the level of materia you can meld to your gear?
I think so, but the item level also dictates it more
Why does my EXP bar have different colored sections? Theres a solid gold on the right which is my earned XP, but right of that is a brown section as well as an empty section
yeah cuz my lvl 22 crafter can't meld a level VII materia haha
Materia all have a certain minimum ilvl they can be melded to
got it, thanks
my hotbar 3, how do I make it show on my screen, hobar 1 and 2 I can see but not 3 😒 Im am on hud layout but cant get hotbar 3 show on the screen :S

Rested Experience FAQ
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

ooo ty
How long does the Seventh Astral Era Quests take compared to the 1-50 quests?
Ok so you’re in the hud menu right
yes
Seventh Astral is part of level 50, if you mean the journal category. It goes to the end of main ARR
I meant compared to the Seventh Umbral, hour length wise
Assuming you’re on PC, right click it.
It’ll change color from purple to gray, then save, and it’ll be visible
right clikc it and clicked saved still wont show when I go out from hud layout 😮
Can you glamour each stage of a relic weapon? For example if I liked the second and final DRK Heavensward relics could I have both for sets or only one?
Oh gosh I’m octopus-ing here bear with me
Confused on that one and I don’t want to waste my grind time
I'm just wondering what things are efficient enough to worth doing alongside ms, class, unlock quests, and what I should be doing when those dry up
worked now ty so mutch! 😄
my poetics are full what should i buy
It’s the entirety of 2.1-2.55, so I’d say about 1/3rd as long? Depends on a number of factors (how long you play for, do you go off and do other stuff, etc)
No prob
rip I see, thanks
If you’re trying to level, and you can’t get to the next MSQ because you’re underleveled (which im pretty sure shouldn’t happen but still), a dungeon or two will often get you to where you need to be
Should I go through the steps to fully upgrade my level 50 relic weapon? Or it will be outdated as soon as I get to heavensward?
i have the zenith version
Outdated
MSQ should not dry up except for in patch quests, where it used to be level cap and it doesn’t give you much, but to progress you’ll have to suffer through them
It’s already highly outdated
Where can I find casual clothing in the free trial?
I’m pretty sure dungeons give you better stuff than your relic is, but I could be wrong
can buy replicas of all steps for like 1k gil after you are done with the full relic so you have access to older steps for glam
Ul’dah has some nicer clothes (the bridesmaid and best man items)
If you’re looking for the casual set, you’ll have to get lucky in the Firmament
Yeah I have the bridesmaid equipped but don't like it too much tbh
Whats the firmament?
only way would be the kupo scratch cards from ishgard restoration since you don't have access to the market
You can also level your crafters (weaver and leathermaker mostly) to be able to craft some cool glam
It’s something you unlock after Heavensward, it’s a place to level crafter and gatherer roles
I’m currently wearing a calfskin outfit, if you’re into badass clothing
Also how far are you, and how soon do you plan on buying?
Rn its mostly just summer wear
how important is double weaving to lvl 80 DRG play?
ah. Where do I buy them?
Personally, I say unless you’re dying for MB and FCs, don’t buy until you hit level cap or story cap, whichever comes first for you
You might as well milk the trial for all it’s worth first
MBs and FCs?
Well, let me correct myself
Market Board and Free Companies (guilds)
Gotcha
Assuming you’re not locked to steam, I highly recommend buying the game NOW while it’s still on sale (I’m pretty sure it is). BUT: don’t enter the code to register it to your account yet
Finish up the limits of the trial and then register the code
Because after the free 30 days from buying base game, you gotta start paying the sub
Azys Lla near the npc's for the relics should be an allagan node that sells them
No idea
for all of them?
Complete edition is currently $24 USD, if you’ve got the money now, it’s a good idea to just buy it now, because while they do hold sales often, there’s no guarantee when the next one will be.
this is personal bias but I suggest not locking yourself into steam, because then you’re at the mercy of Steam for sales, you can’t buy from the SE store, which has sales more often, to unlock expansions on steam
And how long can I keep the code for before redeeming?
Indefinitely
I will buy from the SE account
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Restoration_Node only sells replicas of relics you did so can't buy for jobs were you didn't do the relics
There would be a riot if they gave you a time limit to redeem your code after buying it
I am tempted to buy the game asap so I can look sexier lol
Honestly that’s what I did, I saw sale and went “oooh full game time to buy”
I made a UI with collapsible hotbars, but it's not showing up in PvP how do I fix this?

like if you did the drk relic till the last step cronus lux, you can buy all replicas from the first step till the lux one
What are the differences between the options in the company you keep (the moment u get mount) ?
yes
No difference between the grand companies
Legit glam is the only difference
ok, thank you for help 🙂
Pick whichever one has the best colors or leader or whatever you wanna base on
Quest content is identical as well. Just pick which one you like most
Oh, they have different skins ?
is there a dancer starter guide you guys would recommend
They have different emblems and color schemes yes
ok, thanks !
Weskalber has levelling rotations for all jobs
On YouTube
But dancer is literally "dance on Cooldown, press glowy button"
If I enter the gold saucer now will the challenge log be updated or do I have to wait for reset?
Anyone have tips for grinding gil?
why does this guys relic not have any materia slots?
because at a certain point you get to choose your sub stats
so you lose melding slots
but isnt melding better though
amount of sub stats at that point are better than what you would get with melds
yeah i get that but i dont understand why he picked 5 crit hit
Does this game's gear has random stats like most popular rpg games?
Ye most likely wouldn't get much benefit from going full with dh/det so extra stats get put into crit
Only specific gear pieces below level 50, being the Aetherial Accessories
And also the Stormblood Relic weapon has randomized secondary stats but that’s obsolete nowadays unless you run eureka a lot
So most gear has fixed stats?
Ok now that there’s a mentor around: uhh is this possible
nope
Drat
pretty much the only thing that you can track gil wise is how much you've made from leves
cos there's specific achievements for that
how long will the sale on the game last?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Is there a way to locate friends/partymembers on the map?
Iirc yes, they have a blue dot on your minimap
Can’t remember if they show up on full map too
Party members are marked with a blue dot on your map. Friends are not. Friend name plates are colored differently however
If I'm AFK, do people sending me tells see that I am AFK?
Nope
They can probably guess you're afk
i see it thanks!!
That's, like, 50% of the reason to have an afk flag in mmos!
I mean, assuming they’re sending a tell from near you, they should be able to see the chair
what's the text command to turnthe chat window on and off?
do you get bonus exp when you fight in a party?
not from being in a party specifically no
any of you guys know a quiet place with training dummies where i can bully one to my heart's content?
too many sprouts around =/
And I remember seeing one outside Ul'Dah, too. Should be one in shroud right outside Gridania, too
there's some outside of the castrum in the fringes
How often does kupo bot update the MB data?
also some outside of stilltide? i think in kholusia, and outside of mord souq in amh araeng
Are you in an FC? Most FC houses have a dummy or two somewhere on the grounds
its pulling from universalis site, so whenever that gets updated (which in turn is dependent on people having the plugin to update)
i am but our GM is... a little heavy-handed with the decoration congestion... no room to swing a cat there
Just checked squadron barracks. They have dummies, but they can't be used. 
do some raids need vc to complete like end game raids?
No
Well ultimates are primarily done in statics which usually have voice but you often don't need to talk
But that's for the top 1% of people
Is there anything in particular I should do with old materia? Like low level stuff?
Or just sell/discard it?
I keep them personally but you can do whatever you want with them
@regal tartan you can sell tier 4 ones on the mb if they sell well
unless youre on trial
My saddlebags are a mess. Gotta clear some stuff out .
wuts so special of the t4 materia?
Nothing, really
i mean they sell on the mb so it cant b nothing
Grades 1-4 combat materia are used for the ARR zodiac weapon to customize the stats
is there a text command that hides the log window?
Anyone well versed in Account Recovery? Friend forgot his password and fucked up his DOB info so he's having trouble getting acess.
afaik no
They need to submit a support ticket
Nothing we can do about it
Thought so
No but pressing 1 on the numpad opens activates the cursor, then press asterisk on the numpad twice.
How long will it take to get 100000 MGP?
That will hide it.
I presume you hit enter during a cut scene and the chat log is aggravating you?
what does this do?
I preordered endwalker, where can I get my Menphina's Earring?
in your mailbox
not in my mailbox
Assuming you entered the preorder code into Mog Station first, using the Moogle Delivery service will get you it
You might have to refresh it manually to get it
Yeah I put the code into my mogstation and it says endwalker is preordered.
you can set an enemy as a focus target (usually a raid boss) if you target it, then right click on its health bar and set focus target to always see its HP even if you target add or party member
It’s the UI when you right click something and choose “Focus Target”
or an ally, you can also focus on an ally
oh ive never done that once.
Useful for seeing health of enemies when you’re not targeting them
i mean thats kinda what the "enemy list" does tho
Then go to a mail moogle, click the second small button at the top (the one that says refresh), exit the dialogue, and then talk to it again
Np
It's more useful than you might think. You can focus target the MT for example to quickly teleport to them as BLM
hm fair
also enemy list doesnt keep track of debuffs/buffs
It just locks a particular target. Idk if ffxiv let's you but wow you can do macros to target focus target.
Does anyone know what cause my game to freeze/crash or get directx11 crashes
it's better info though and you can put it in the centre of the screen
tbh I didn't even think of that lol
true
What do I need to do to unlock the Foundation Sundry Splendors merchant? I figured hitting 60 would do it, but she's still not there. If I need to progress to some point in msq, what quest needs to be finished?
Finish heavensward
Sundry splendors unlock after completing the Base story of that expansion
Idyllshire sells the stuff anyway
damn i have all these tomestones to burn. should i buy gear at the market then?
my gear is currently the lvl 50 sundry gear
you need to complete the quest "Heavensward"
it's a Level 60 quest
And that’ll last you long enough to reach Idyllshire
Just use whatever the story gives you post 55
what crafter/gathere guide kubo bot spam. I can't find the command
Yeah. Usually MT is the first to move outta sketchy shit since they rarely prioritize their own dmg and it eliminates the panic of trying to decide who to teleport to.
alrighty, thanks all
So you don't use tomestones yet?
i have, i just get more than i can spend
tomestones are end-game gear, and the "end game" has evolved per expansion
so there is tomestone gear for Level 50, Level 60, and Level 70
any website that is more accurate for aether currents? i jstu did the "bridge over frozen water" and it was a blue quest, not MSC
that are all consolidated into "Poetics"
so the same tome buys you all the gear
pre Shadowbringers
in an effort to help people catch up
you can buy the Level 60 gear sure if you want
no problems
you will get more than enough poetics to buy full sets
Only one will be msq
My problem is gearing up for the hard dungeons and instances
That's not saying it's msq, it's saying it's UNLOCKS after doing that msq
what Level is your current job?
That is accurate
and what job?
@tight mango
But that blue quests appears after X msq is done
52 BMG
hm
I'm sorry?
hey if i buy the steam version of the base game but buy the shadowbringers DLC through the square store can i use it with my steam version or am i SOL
you are sol
Yeah, blackmage
i haven't done those MSQ quests. i see
Does anyone know what sorta time moogle sever calms down? My friends play on moogle and I’ve just been sat here waiting for it to open for new charas over 2 hours now, all the rest have opened at some point, just wanna play the game ):
although I would talk to support to see if you can get a refund
ty
you have to buy your stuff through Steam since you bought a Steam license
if you're Level 52 on Black Mage, you should have already gotten a full set of i90 gear from your job quests, and you should be easily able to grab poetic gear for Level 50 (item level 130s)
can people join me while im in a dungeon
to replace the accessories and slowly replace your other gear
you are more than fine to tackle those encounters
I did get the full blackmage gear
how do you guys find a fc that fits you?...
I would need to replace weapon and accessories
i am doing satasha msq and it is impossible i cant clear this part
Use poetics
just as a reminder, the effort to help people catch up has given you a free set of gear that is i90 from your job quests
i90 is actually the item level given from the second raid series of ARR
Just que and wait, it pops eventually
meaning you are almost double the item level of most people who are in ARR
^
ffs
You need to be drastically overlevelled and overgearwd
ive been doing this for like 2 hours now
You could have just qued
Even clearing trash must have taken you a while with careful pulling 😮
lol
And got a group
ill rejoin
you are 100% expected to party up. you cannot solo the game.
Not even dps queues take 2 hours
Impossible
you can do it with tanks, sure
maybe healers can do it too
but you need a lot of prep
you need to max your item level at the sync, and then properly manage cds
using pots and food
@faint flare wow you still play this game????
i got to this part
You absolute legend
also vinyl thasnks for your past help
pull madison to the far left corner and then burst down both reavers
stun madison to give you more time
i killed the reaver but some dogs came
Bards don't have a stun
and killed me
Yeah, the adds will overwhelm you on that one
sorry, interrupt
Just que for it
Also if you’re having this much trouble with the first dungeon
any way to check playtime?
hang on lemme break out my ranged dps role skill Stun Shot
you can /ptime
oh
in chat
He has nothing to interrupt
thanks guys
There is no reason to keep on cbting yourself
if an enemy is interrupted they can't do anything for the duration
it acts like pacification
And he has no interruptable skills
oh wait ignore me I'm thinking of frontline
You gave it a valiant effort. Enjoy Duty Finder! It's a good system.

What's the max level of a job? (woodwork by example)
80
90 in November
Ok thanks !

what level are you?
and item level
If your doing the relic for non-glam reasons, I suggest doing it later
68 ilvl 250 I guess I can solo dungeons I think
at your current state I would surmise it would take you about 30 hours
if you however got to Level 70 and 400 gear, you can probably bring it down to around 23-28 hours
or if you got to Level 80 with end-game gear, easily 10 hours
Yeah I can easily get to 70 and above
Guys i am stuck at a quest called "report to western tahnalan"
it's just time consuming, the actual tasks themselves are not difficult to do
idk what to do lmao
I would assume you must go to Western Thanalan
and either accept or resolve a quest
you can check your map
You go to Uldah and go west
the quest description itself also should give a big hint in what to do
Initiate the leve
ohw
oh man levequests
How do I get up there?
You have to go alllll the away around to where there’s a tunnel to enter or something
Check your map
I don’t remember where exactly

Yes, the crystal tower raids

Do I just sign up for that through duty finder?
Okay cool. I'm assuming its just more story quests to unlock it?
