You do
Check your bags
The 45 quest whole point is going to get the gear
They don't show as quest rewards
They're don't have Monk in the name
Just look in your armoury
Or use recommended gear
oh its not like with ninja
where you have to open the coffer
you get the gear straight up
Do /isearch temple
i see
That's at 50
wait I could swear you got a coffer for both on ninja
And a coffer at 50
ninja wasn't a base arr class so they didn't get the same treatment as the others
Ninja also gets gear at 45 don’t they?
yeah
Ninja has the same gear situation as other arr jobs
Yeah
you get a set without chestpiece at 45
Ninja isn’t a starting job but it behaves the same as other arr jobs
quite strange how they just dump the gear in your inv without telling you
but i guess it worked out.
That's just how it worked
You collected the outfit
If I had to farm MGP infinitely what game should I play?
Is it normal for me not to see the loot I get in dungeons? I just came out of one with an axe I didn’t have going in to it lol
Chocobo racing
You can get up to 1000 per race at rank 9
Where do i go to sell items on the market? It seems i can just buy..;
Retainers
Your retainers
you certain you didn't just miss the chat message indicating you got an item?
And summoning bells
Oh it only says it in chat? That’s probably it then
I have no clue what it is ahah
Is the ARR story after 2.0 to 2.55 important? the quests seem so lame
You also automatically get one piece upon killing the final boss
Mainly 2.5
2.1-2.55 is important
But 2.1 to 2.4 does build up to 2.5
while 2.1-2.3 can be a bit slow
No daily limits?
And as a whole is important to 3.x
it is called back later on in the story
There's no daily cap on MGP gains yes
Also is the chocobo level the same as the one you take in battle?
No, you need to breed chocobos specifically for racing
It's completely seperate from your companion
Got it thanks
Time to put on a show and get to grinding
https://i.imgur.com/JpWlFmt.png why is tank que to fuckin long for this stuff
Because it's 1/2/5
So tank gets filled up really quick in alliance raids
And 80s are new
Eyup that would do it
doing this shit
since someone said i gotta do this shit to get a relic
for my gunbreaker
@slate arrow Is a retainers a servant? The thing with the bell? Where do i have to go?
Retainer vocates to hire
When it comes to Free Companies, if I'm on Midgardsormr, can I join any free company on the Aether group/datacenter or am I bound to just whats on Midgardsormr
Server locked
how do i reach mourn?
Go back to Anyx trine
then i don't take the tower?
And only go up one story instead of two
ah darn. I was hoping it was across to all of Aether.
ty
You’ll see a bridge that goes directly into the mountain instead of up it
Can somebody craft me a inferno katana got the mats Louisoix?
besides the look, is there any reason to start my relic weapon quests now? are they actually used or anything?
I’m new to tanking , I’m confused how do I get Agro of enemys
use tank stance
Tank stance
What’s is that
Which class are you?
how do I best utilized retainers?
they just aggro its a ability all tanks get what lvl are u?
Gunbreaker
what's a good method for leveling desynth?
@thorn thicket In my experience, desynthing dungeon loot
Not the most efficient but inexpensive
Turn on royal guard
Plus desynth works even on level 80 gear right away.
It's your tank stance
Like i know there's the vendor in Ul'dah for a bit on weaver and possibly leather worker, just not sure about the weapon ones
@unborn fern Do the Beginner's Hall for Tanks
Where do i have to go to recuit my retainer?
Retainer vocates
If I use Fantasia, do I have to take off all my armour like the prompt says to use it? I wouldn't be able to see how'd I look in my armour then
yes you have to unequip everything
Is there one in gridania? i've no clue where that is
It’d cause issues if you wore male only armor then switched to a female lol
Yes
ahh makes sense
Servers would cease to exist
I have a quick question. I'm playing free trial now. Will I have to redownload the full client if I purchase the whole game?
20some more gigs from Sb and ShB?
If you use the aether network to travel to the Leatherworker's Guild, then run East, you'll find the shops
the Retainer Vocate is right in the foyer there
Hey what's the best way to get gil, I need 1m for a mount that I want but I don't want to be a begger
Oki found it thanks
so many alts 
how do i see my "story side quests"? i supposedly have a quest "up in arms" for the atma weapon, it says i can see the details in my story side quests, but it's not in my journal
So, Up In Arms moves immediately into your Completed log for some unfathomable reason.
this might be useful to you
Each time i reach 100% symbiosis with an item i should extart a materia from it? is there a benefit to stay at 100%
no, there's not
Im at the start of Stormblood and I was wondering whether it’s possible to level 2 classes at the same time with just the msq?
extract immediately
thanks, it is indeed there under completed
Ok thanks
why my ilevel so low compared to my other classes when both are the same level and have lvl 50 gear items
gear level and gear ilvl do not always correlate
because level requirement and item level are different things
So i enter my confirmation key to transfer servers to game servers and it saids invalid doeswn anyknow if im doing something wrong?
I need to run aurum vale for the first time..about to queue up as healer, how much am I going to regret this moment
if the tank pulls everything in that first room, good luck

https://i.imgur.com/RmHwfwN.png this is so stupid..
Anyone know any good party songs for FC house orchestrion?
are the devs working on fixing the helmets for bunny girls
@leaden ginkgo What are you queueing for?
@jade haven They are in time just other priorities at the moment
i want to do this damn raid so i can get my relic
queuing as a tank? it'll take longer
well ofc im que'd as tank thats all i have geared
A) rabanastre is more popular
B) its half 12 gmt Europe is starting to turn in
@leaden ginkgo do you have every language selected in duty finder
then yeah you're going to wait a bit. there's only 3 tank slots.
well i cant do that map
Yes you can
since i need this specific one for relic
no i mean i cant
its not part of my quest
Rabanastre is the first alliance raid
Oh that step
guessing they've not finished the series yet
You're sol so
He wants to do orbonne why would he do rabanastre lol
sol?
Shit outta luck
and your sus
Thought he was on the step where you do the hw and sb alliance raids
*you're
Ur*
!faq dflanguage
im stuck at this 1 min fight . can't do it at all is that normal occurrence that MSQ bug like this ? i was #1 for 10 min not long ago i tried to reboot now im #5 since 12 min
hm does that help with dps solo queue, selecting all languages
@leaden ginkgo and yeah, need to wait till peak time or it won't fill
Not really in NA since they all most likely speak English
That, is unusual
oh right it's still around your data center right
But na is currently on fire so no surprised
is there a hat i can use as a fedora? i unlocked sam and need an appropriate glamour
There's a leopard print one from the hw super fate chain
Yeah Google up Coeurlgina, takes effort though to spawn
Is there a 3rd party tool that lets you preview your character using emotes?
Something like CMTool but with emote animations?
I really want to test the Omega emote on my character..
Whats the difference between a fellowship and a free company? I know free company is equal to a guild in most other games, correct?
Fellowships are message boards
So pretty much primarily there to meet new people? Any perks of being in a fellowship?
Nope
They're literally message boards
With no notifications at all
You barely notice then
I'm seeing the complete edition on se store at 60% off, is it better to buy it now and buy the endwalker expansion or wait till endwalker is included in the complete edition? I'm still in the ARR and so far enjoying it.
Ah, then no reason to join one, thank you for clarifying.
I would buy the CE now yeah
is pvp really that bad?
It's fine
Since you still need starter edition
Just not popular
I would get the CE now and then endwalker when you come across that bridge. No reason to hit the wallet twice if you still are nowhere near that content. That's what I plan on doing.
F ALDIS i just lost 50 min for nothing 🙂
@bleak dew
Hey ff14 folks, I've been waiting for a solo Duty for about 30min now. Is this normal?
No, I never seen this before
its the same all around right now i believe , game is fkup
rip
It means the instance servers are all full
You can apply the code later when you finished HW to save the game time
Basically raubhan extreme but it's not booting you out of cutscenes
oh you can do that
someone know a good site to look the dungeons sets from every expansion?
If you are on PC yeah
Eorzeacolllection
So I just need to wait for them to open up via this queue?
Pretty much
they dont have all sets thats the problem :/
Yes just be patient
Servers are literally bursting at the seems
Are there any legit sites to get the Miester quality Omega statue off of, like AmiAmi?
I saw Ami doesn't have it in stock, and neither does the Square Enix store.
what set are you looking for cos i'm fairly certain eorzea collection does
er nvm
was thinking of a different site
has everything but its in JP
that said it links to lodestone
its easy enough to navigate tbh
Looking at videos of people playing tanks in dungeons and I've seen people take aggro and then go around an entire area until they reach a blockade, and I'm just wondering how this works, do dungeon mobs not have that same distance where they lose interest? Also should I bother doing that while I don't have my inviciblity as it seems like there's a lot of mobs and I'd probably die really fast.
and like i said, it links to lodestone so also easy enough to get the english version of the information
You have defensive Cooldowns
dungeon mobs don't de-aggro, no
Use them
mitigate properly and you'll be fine
It's standard
Copperbell
Other than that though I haven't seen one where they de-aggro
except for that one specific instance, dungeon mobs don't de-aggro.
Make sure healer is up to the task of keeping you alive. Most big CDs are used for large trash pulls, rather than for bosses.
Like when I heal, I often pop everything for big trash pulls, but rarely have to use anything too fancy for boss fights
Levelling dungeons are two packs minimum
Yeah I know I have reprisal and rampart, but even through damage mitigation I still thought I'd die, but if people are saying it'd be fine then I'll go ahead and give that a try next time
You can go more
also keep in mind Arm's Length can be used as a cooldown as well, since it afflicts Slow to everything that hits you, reducing the speed at which you take damage
I keep having second thoughts of moving to another server due to ping, I've already progressed quite far on EU (im from NA) and i have a bunch of friends here but I play on 120-130ish ping on EU servers. I keep thinking that maybe its not worth to keep playing on EU and just switch to NA for better ping? im not so sure.
It's on you to mitigate, on the healer to heal and on the dps to fucking press buttons to kill things before people run out of resources
You are completely in your rights to call out shit dps
BLM using F2 in 72+ dungeons
Cure 1
estimated drop rate for lyon field notes from CLL?
People who just don't aoe at cap
Over here using triple Flare and this dude was spending 3k mana on F2
I was like "Other BLM why are you using Fire II"
"Idk I don't know how to play BLM that well"

at least they were honest
Let me introduce you to everybody's friend... WeskAlber
I dunno, I feel like that's more of a "sit yo bum ass down at this training dummy and slap it a bit, and read your skills"
You have been playing for 70 lvls you’ve probably learned something
Or they boosted
that was stressful, aurum vale blind healer run lol, nobody died but got close
that's assuming that, boosting aside, they haven't just done MSQ roulette and only used their lv50 skills the whole time
How do i get this lol
the clever use of exterior furnishings you can jump on, and a bit of ledge walking
keep going to the left a bit and look for stuff you can jump on to climb up the house
probably a dumb question, on the wiki jobs page, it says "Summoner and Scholar are both based on Arcanist. That means that Summoner and Scholar share levels with each other. "
Does that mean if I level summoner up to say, level 30, my Scholar will come up to level 30?
Summoner starts at 30, technically
yes
whatever level your summon er is, your scholar will be
because you're not earning exp for summoner or scholar
you're earning arcanist exp
makes sense, thanks
GUYS = moogle dance = how many hours is the quest if you dont even have a crafting character?
Depends where you are in msq
im past he
hw
im more considering i dont even have a crafting job
and i know f all abt it
so = some hours to add to that
there are spots where u have to wait for someone to finish first to do them?
Best way to use retainers? I want to use them effectively but I don't know what I am doing
to learn all that stuff
bruh this feo UI in chat is not working
bruh...
second letter in a name isn't usually capitalized
ah yes, my favorite character, feo user interface
Also they’ve probably said their name in a voiced cutscene
To be fair why would you think it was feo ui all caps 
You need to be past 3.3, the true end of hw to unlock firmament for power levelling crafters
when's the next mogtome event again?
!faq 2021schedule
how can I start the quest Towards the Firmament? (or check if I have already done it?) There is no one at Foundation (X:9.7, Y:11.5) where it's supposed to start, and I can't find it in Journal-Complete.
ok those are wordst i dont understand
Not till October
Iirc theyll have that ifrit jacket
Yeah, biker jackets
You need to have finished patch 3.3
ah, I found I already had it completed (it wasn't in Quest Search tho, I searched manually in all the lists lol).
I want to unlock the second ShB custom delivery, and it showed as a requirement
Does the MGP from Saucer Challenge Logs also benefit from Make it Rain?
The final steps of faith
TY
you probably didn't capitalize something
the search for completed quests is case sensitive
that was it probably, thxs
How can I unlock custom delivery with Ehll Tou? I'm already at 5.3
chain in firmament
need to do the
in the firmament
Same for the other one
The initial chain is
iirc
if my friend is on cerberus can we still play together ?
no
How do i get these last 5, the compass doesnt locations
the quest chain is 
Yes
for the ones that are required for the unlock
sidequests in ishgard and western highlands
Msq and 
as well as MSQ
hey, if I level a summoner to 80 then go to unlock scholar will it also be 80?
the only blue quest in map showed in firmament is "O Crafter, My Crafter", nothing more shown in map there
aight ty
o crafter my crafter is for ehll tou
ok, thxs, I'll do it
somebody knows ?
Yes if you’re also on a chaos server you can do most things together, notable exception is being unable to be in the same Free Company
so we can play together aka do quest together
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
but why not company?
Those are limited to your home server.
My friend is on a queue timer for one of the Conjurer Job quests, Spirithold Broken and it's a little ridiculous. Is this because he's on the free trial?
If I were to boost a summoner, would I still need to do the quest to unlock scholar?
Instance servers are currently congested/borked from overcrowding
Boost bad
yes
Also yes
boosting a summoner isn't going to unlock and complete the scholar quests
Ergo it would also be level 70?
this is not a helpful answer
Are my questions to big?
Listen I've got 2 jobs at 74
Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.
Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS
Hello everyone! So I just downloaded the game again after taking like 1.5 years off, and I remember the last thing I did was beat 3.1 MSQ. Logging in again, I am just so lost, is there any way to refresh myself on some basics? I played mostly DRK and RDM if it matters. Thanks!
Drk got completely changed a few patches ago
would also be level 70?
yes it would
Is there a place I can read about the changes?
what a bargin
No it didn’t
you would also need to get gear for the scholar though
yea that's not too bad
since boost would not include gear for scholar
How many books do the Alexander Savage Raids drop each clear?
1 per clear

!levelguide
Oof. Well, then!
Or was that with shadowbringers? Id heard it got a large rework and lost most of its old skills
anyone know the command for the alt/second class leveling guide?
#kupo-bot-spam
!faq altlvlguide
So free trial or subscription, it's the same?
Ye
Watch WeskAlber’s job guides on YouTube and/or just read through your tool tips and hit a dummy for awhile
Shadowbringers yeah but it wasn’t huge, it’s still recognisable
Ok, thanks I will. Do I just pick up MSQ where I left off, then?

Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
Yo i think i've softlocked myself, I'm trying to figure out if theres any way to talk to Alphinaud still as i cant find a way to get to him
can free trial members receive mail from subbed friends people
can you g et all the memory for SHB relic entirely just on bozja?
Am I doing something wrong or is the queue for this just absurdly long? Minor Stormblood spoiler
Not counting shit in Zadnor/dr
Does potd go past lvl 60?
no
Servers on fire this is happening to everyone
No
Instance servers are overcrowded
Gotcha, thank you
Yeah I only see a ticketer and a frontline attendant
which doesn't let me go past the security
Keep looking
Does anyone actually recommend using the recommendations tab in the duty section?
So do I just keep rerunning potd until my alt is 50? Or 60? And then do heaven on high?
You should be able to walk around to the arrivals attendant.
theres nothing in the way of dps/healing meters in ffxiv, correct?
People do commend yes
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
anyone know this one 😩
You meant recommend correct?
There's a recommendations window?
interesting.. on the page it just says send letters, not receive.. I need boots from a friend for fashion report :(
I was told do MSQ then game content unlocking quests then whatever
so this is techincally not cool but relatively safe to use, just dont harass people with it in game

MSQ and blue quests
Especially your class quests
Yeah, didn't see the emotes sorry
Pretty much
Don't be a dick

Oh alright, I just have a lot of
's left from lvl 60s and was going back and doing them
When should you stop running potd with alts?
Level 60
And you should only be levelling alts with potd if you have floor 51-60 unlocked
Is the i535 relic weapon the absolute final upgrade for that relic weapon? Meaning there are no quests for that weapon in the future?
yes
Yes
So if it’s lvl 60 in potd but lvl 40 outside of potd do I keep rerunning?
blade's X is the final step for the shadowbringers relic
Yes
The AST version is so ugly. That's just disappointing.
this crap feels broken man...
We're experiencing such a large influx of new players the store sold out of digital download codes
Wait really?
Yes
I just came back after a 2 year hiatus so I guess that would do it
New F2P player, quick question, is there any limited time rewards I can get from any in game quest or something thats going on currently?
I've seen some current login bonus but for requirements it says i need to have 'activated ff14', does that mean i need an active sub or?
Is there some 18 gig update that just happened? All of a sudden I have to download 18 gigs.
- there's make it rain with a minion from the vendor at the gold saucer right but that's about it until later
- yes
did you recently buy the full version of the game and activated it
has anyone on aether been able to get into an instance with a full premade party?
18 gigs sounds like shadowbringers + stormblooc dlc
When did you last play?
no, I bought it a month ago, subscription is ending today
pain
Aether instance server is currently on fire
there is no new update today
most things on NA are on fire today
direct hit vs skill speed for food samurai what should i pick
Neither
endgame or pre-80?
then what
Sam uses smoked chicken same as almost everyone else afaik
it's just a main mission quest
between asmon on aether and lunarcon on crystal it's been
a lot
Then it really doesn't matter
Everything is on fire people
@warm snow what stat
Pick whatever
if you're not at max level doing endgame content, it doesn't matter what food you use
doesn't really matter since you won't be using that food for any real rraid since it's msq but later on raid food will not change skill speed
It doesn't matter
pick whatever food if you aren't in extremes or savage
Your food doesn't matter until cap
^
okay can u tell me what kinda food everyone picks?
bro
raisins
Crit shit
ye
raisins are super cheap
crit i guess if you REALLY care about stats, but as said
oh there is a crit food
and everything gives the same +3% XP bonus
it doesn't matter below cap
other than that stats are irrelevant
bruh i literally know that i can go almost naked and finish msq @outer mural
I also have a stack of orange juice in my inventory
i just wanna know
i have..... eggs....
like what is ur problem
hey guys, i'm considering giving this game a try and want to explore the benchmarks first. Are there recommended settings or should i ask somewhere else?
It doesn't matter
bro
just buy some eggs
i am giving you a sincere answer
food doesn't matter until endgame
did i ask if it matters if i get food or not?
yes
There is nothing to know
We're saying it doesn't matter which you pick
"what food do i get for msq"
you asked which one to pick
There is no answer
it doesn't matter
i asked whats good food for samurai
what level is the first dungeon?
And I answered what the best food is
smoked chicken on the marketboard when you're at 80
legit the only reason to use food below level cap is for the 3% exp boost. that's it
otherwise it doesn't matter if you're not at 80
If you’re not level 80, it is totally irrelevant
15 satasha :)
And then you asked about what to take for an msq reward
And we told you it doesn't matter
okay cool, ty
Np !
there is no problem here, you're just refusing to take the answer we're giving you
bruh i wanna pick something and u are telling me it doesnt matter
yes
Yes
i want that 1 extra dps
so pick something random
And it doesn't
Pick literally anything
pick your nose, even
is there a website for listing the total of things you need to buy/craft/gather to craft a certain item?
!faq teamcraft
It is an all in one crafter website that offers lists, simulator and other features and can be found at: https://ffxivteamcraft.com/
thank you
holy shit, is it so hard to tell me what kinda stat is better
i know it doesnt matter
okay, if youj really give a shit
crit > dh > det > sks food for sam
bruh i can auto attack this whole msq
You received that answer too, probably crit
Any food with relevant stats will boost your dps
Which is better is dependent on gear
We don't know that, and we ain't gonna calc it for you
Move on
Ergo
how come the online store limits what you can buy? i tried to buy a few friends the campaign skip and i keep getting the 2501 error. it will clear after 24 hrs but then i get it again after 1 purchase.
are u gonna tell me not to use skills cause it doesnt matter
Matter
you're being oddly pedantic over some msq reward food
i gave the stat prio of what food you want above
if you REALLY give a shit about it
bruh u keep telling me 10 times it doesnt matter and i ignored it cause there are some good answers
My friend is still trying to do that Conjurer quest and has been in queue for 30 minutes and is only 41st in line
That's crazy
do Cross-world Linkshells work in Bozja/Eureka?
Aether is on fire
Oof
gonna be my last statement: you're being really nit-picky about it when it really doesn't matter, and you r question was answered anyway so whatever
Instance servers too full
I mean if it doesnt matter then perhaps the best answer would be explaining why
Goodluck aether !
they should, fc chat works too
They really gotta fix that asap
!mute 186314077751083008 1h
you may want to check with your bank, actually, since that's an "incorrect payment details" error
"The Moogle and Vanu Vanu quests grant 50 reputation points each (cap in 3 days at 3 quests per day)."
What does "cap in 3 days" here mean? You can only do 3 quests per day for 3 days?
You don't need to get the last word in
Yes
Bald man just hit hw so that's probably having an effect
You can only do 3 quests a day
i'll give them a call. thanks.
in order to get to HW i have to crystal palace stuff, how do I know when im done with this crystal palace side quest?
That’s not necessarily true
When you finish the whole chain
So the Endwalker pre-order earring does nothing for quest or duty exp?
and whats this used for? Will I do Crystal palace a ton?
At a light of hope
When you don't have an immediate
after finishing the previous quest in the chain
Like all quest chains
i2501 error is usually just a generic “mogstation finds your client suspicious” error, can often be resolved by changing networks, using mobile hotspot, or using a VPN
gotchya, thanks guys
@solar bison You want the BiS for samurai?
No, he was asking which msq reward food is better
That conversation is finished
Ah okey
can someone who understands how to use ACT well explain something to me?
are there any mats I can buy with gil for the relic quests? I need a gil dump rn
Depends on the relic
The zodiac(arr) relic costs 400k gil
Needs 4 different materials that cost 100k each
@queen yoke isnt it just a stat ppl focus on? seems to be crit
What are these current things I seen in heavnsward
Flight
!faq flight
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
i picked skill speed cause i had it the most so ill get most out of it in this situation
Making a character, does Nameday or Guardian impact anything?
You need them to fly
nope
No
just flavor @toxic lava
Rp and flavour text
I heard in the past theres a small stat bonusbut not anymore tho
ye, guardian use to give elemental resistances but it was pretty moot even back in arr
Both are pure RP
The stats they used to give might as well have not existed
So now they don’t 
Yee
It's more fun to have different races and shit as opposed to calculating the exact min max race/belief combo
what about starting class? i was tempted to try Summoner cause i mained Warlock in Warcraft, is that Arcanist I pick?
Yeah arcanist becomes summoner
arcanist would be the starting class for summoner ye
It ultimately doesn't matter since you can play every job on one character but yeah
Arcanist digivolves into summoner
If I'm grinding for the padjali and kinna weapons from POTD when is the best time to make the padjali weapons in terms of aetherpool
i don't have to play every single class tho do i? like would groups not invite me if all i want to play is summoner?
Should I just do it asap and then restart from floor 1 back up?
It doesn't really matter but if you're just grinding 51-60 you realistically can't level past 70/70
You can get padjali weapons til you best floor 50 anyways
I am at level 53 but have a level 46 weapon, I completed my 50 job quest. Do I buy something? So confused?
I've already beaten floor 50
Also how do I get glamour prisms.
Just continue msq and you'll be able to buy an augmented ironworks weapon with poetics tomes once you finish arr
Grand company seals, 200 each
Wow that's garbage... Might actually have to run 1-50 again
Ok! That sounds good, I think I am nearing the end.
You'll be fine
!faq meta
is there a linkshell or another way to find people to help out to find a group faster? :) I am trying to unlock edens promise normal and the queue times are so long :(
Not really
not really looking for meta that's min-maxing
for now i want to find something that's fun, never played wow around meta specs
Main point is everything's balanced enough that people won't kick you for jobs unless they're just assholes
hey has anyone experience this? XD
yeah its pretty bad right now but imma about to sleep so it kinda works out
Sorry but which person at the grand company
The only person you buy stuff from
yea i don't get why i have a queue to become a monk but ok
i'm at 106 minutes for my solo duty
i am about to hit that 100 minutes too
Although not nearly as bad as in aether, I've noticed slight delays in solo instanced queue's on europe too, while previously it was instantaneously
Honestly might be better off going to bed for the night
Poor yoshi p is probably drafting a new letter/essay
Haha lol
Im on trial account and just hit 60 in some DoH and DoL. Is there level 60 gear i should be crafting for this level or where I can i obtain the best gear in HW?
Scrip gear in idyllshire iirc
Or buy gear for gil from vendors
for crafting/gathering using vendor gear isn't the worst
though the scrip gear would be better, but the downside is that its not a universal set like the vendor gear would be
Thats okay, im trying to do EVERYTHING before i go to a regular account lol
Where do you buy the scrip? im in idyllshire right now.
!faq scrips
the scrip exchange is near the retainer bellto the east
that said, if you've completed "heavensward"
its arguably easier to just buy it from the npc in foundation
is there anyway to disable hotbar switching? I accidentally keep hitting shift+2 and it's screwing up my rotations
since idyllshire you'd have to do the whole token exchange, whereas the foundation npc is just a yellow scrip purchase
So uh, I have a pretty odd request for assistance, has to do with char creation.
Do the alexander mounts drop from the normal mode? Or only savage?
Only savage
only savage
is there someone i should typically make my dance partner? tank? healer? another dps? and then in raids, main tank? off tank? or like what lol
Always dps
kk ty
is 530 the current max ilvl?
Preferably the highest dps
Yes
Probably not spoilers, but I'll put it in spoilers anyways.
||Is the fight with Bahamut supposed to take place right after ARR, or at some point during or past post-ARR? Just curious because I'm on patch 1.3 now and I'm wondering if I was supposed to do it earlier somehow?||
You can remove it in your keybinds
!faq dncpartner
For an accurate answer, upload a log to Hint's partner calculator. Note that the calculator will support logs from lower level content, including the level 70 ultimates.
Otherwise, use the following list updated for 5.5--note that it is made in a gear/skill vacuum, and that it may vary depending on fight:
(The following priority list is for level 80 content only)
- SAM
- NIN
- MNK / BLM (crit build)*
- DRG / SMN
- RDM
- MCH
- BRD
- DNC
*Note: Speed BLM was not formally ranked, but is likely somewhere around RDM.
ohh tysm lol
what's my highest available by just playing hunt train? i dont really raid
During post-ARR
oh i see, than kyu
It technically came out in 2.4 but its largely irrelevant when it happends
If you mean coils, that’s a 50 quest
Gotcha. Does it happen naturally through main missions?
Side content
Gotcha... I'll look into it then! Thank you kindly everone!
High end raid content like coils is never story required
Just know that you're going to have next to no luck running coils through Duty finder
i dont see it
I swear we should have a coils faq
ohhh, nvm. i found it. thx
Gotcha.
So Coils is basically just... "Optional Side Quest with no real impact"?
It has impact
There's some
It has story but its kinda awkward
The story is significant
It's "savage" difficulty
It's backstory for the twins and 1.0 wrap up
Okie Dokie! In that case, I'll probably save it for another time then. For now, focusing on main missions and speedrunning

And as a result the raids aren't in any roulettes so they're both difficult and very hard to find parties for
Most people unsync it once they hit 80
anybody know how to unlock pvp gear sets?
You don't
There are small references to your completion of coils but they're tiny nods
i've heard you talk to commander and he takes you to wolve's den or something
You either buy with wolfs marks or they were limited rewards
Just unlock pvp and you have immediate access
where do i buy it?
Wolves den
It's a blue quest you do
from who? the company comander right?
Just got a friend into the game and they're stuck at the quest Nouveau Riche where she tries to enter a solo duty thing and it's putting her in a queue. She's tried a few times, and waited for an hour once without it ever moving past "more than 50". I don't remember ever encountering something like that. Is something broken? I can't find anything googling it
Been stuck there for over a day now
Instance servers too full
Like
Shit is on fire
So she should just quit and try again in a month maybe? lol
Tomorrow maybe?
Because there are a lot of duties in the leveling process
No just try on off-peak hours
She's been trying for 2 days lol
It is prime time in the us
Try late evening or early morning
any tips on keybinds n ui? e.g what most people bind their aoe skills to, their tank dmg immunity skills like holmgang etc
She did in the morning
Whatever is comfortable
Everyone is different

Set your ui up in a way that works for you
okay and im at a loss and need some examples
They should set up a priority queue for subscribed players at least.
That's already set up
they literally have
They have
To even get into the game
For logging in
you can't even log in as a trial player if there's a queue of subs
The logins are fine
Well then....They should pay for more servers with all this sub time they're getting.
It's just getting into that quest
They even done some small server upgrades
Literally
Look in pins
They made comments on thos
Weeks agos
Go to pins or #rants
they LITERALLY ARE but the pandemic is making getting it actually done hard
obviously it is not working XD
The shortage of semi conductors LITERALLY MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE to buy servers
Actually you can fam. I work on cloud for a living. 🙂
Are there a search option for Fishing Log? I don't see it
not with their server structure you can't.
Is there a guide to effectively farming for memories on "For Want of a Memory" (the Resistance weapon upgrade quest)? I see I can do FATEs in certain areas of fight on the Southern Front but I'm wondering what the most effective (solo) way is
how grindy are the arr relic weapons?
and simply throwing money at the issue won't fix it.
Just look at their comments in the pins
What part of: so many people you they sold out of digital download codes and GLOBAL SEMICONDUCTOR SHORTAGE is hard to understand
Also heard you can apparently do roulettes but not sure
If solo: fates. If you can get a cluster farm group do that
Are there any other easier ways to search for fishes easier than? I kept looking up through google instead cause there's no search option
uh, i assume you replied to the wrong person there
@faint flare this is my first time doing resistance stuff so I don't even know what clusters are or what a farm for them would be
Not really no
Oh. Thought you talked to me. Nvm than, lol XD
Oh well :(
You can use carbuncle plushy to track time locked fish
Clusters buys suff in bojza
tyty
How do I get that?
So for the memories can the Southern Front give all three types? Since I see FATEs only give one of three in different areas
Hi just have a question about becoming a red mage, is it a useful job to play as or should i choose another?
It's a website
All are useful
!faq meta
Gotcha, I'll look this over now. Thanks.
Ok. Thank you :D
Doesn't look like there's any Bozjan groups up in PF, so failing that what should I be doing xd
FATEs or dungeons
People usually shout inside the zone for cluster farms
But fates are fine if you can't get one
Especially with blue
Would I be imposing to join one without knowing how they work at all? I've literally not stepped into the Southern Front yet
You literally just kill 4th legion mobs
is anyone else not able to log in cactuar? the usual queue doesnt appear, only a text box and when i click ok it closes the game, im on trial
I mean I plan on it
For the rest of the steps
So might as well get in already
You'll pick up a few memories here and there from Skirmishes
Then you can fill out the rest once you're done
multi task
Ok i cannot find the script trader in Foundation, someone help lol
See pins
its the blue bag
Trial players aren't allowed queue for log in atm due to absurd levels of new players
same person who you talk to for poetics if you're in ishgard
Thank you!
Perhaps this is the wrong channel to ask in, but is using a level boost/skip on an alt common?
fairly
Alt character yes alt job no
When should I breed my chocobo? Its rank 25 but I feel like everyone around me has a much better chocobo
Yeah I mean alt character
It's common enough, alt characters themselves aren't too common tho
How come Rowenas shop is empty? Like no stock at all. Ive beat Heavensward
Which shop?
Use the drop down menus
sounds like you probably haven't unlocked the scrip exchange then
unless you're not using the drop down menus :d
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Rowena don’t sell rowena’s stuff
Scrip shit will appear without scrips unlocked
but just gonna link this as a double check
At least on the blue bag npcs
The NPC Rowena... kinda just stands there, menancingngly
Then yeah you're probably missing those unlocks
should i care about doing grand company objectives as im levling/msqing?
whats nice to get about them?
Promotions
I made an alt for doing the story skip (TL;DR wanted to experience ARR on my main but wanted to also be able to do EW when it comes out, bought it before I knew better), except I bought the level boost for a class I didn’t main
Best source of ventures, glamour prisms and other misc stuff
the drop down menus for the crafting/gathering are there, but there is nothing in the options if you dont have the scrip exchange unlocked
so not entirely true
which I heartily regret
Yeah, that was probably a bad move ngl. It's all a linear story so skipping story to experience Endwalker is a bit counterintuitive
Also story skips only go up to the start of current expansion
So you'd need to have waited til Endwalker to buy said story skip
hey guys, playing through ARR for the first time, just doing the main story quests/class quests. Would i still understand the story if I read journal entries instead of all the chat boxes, some seem long winded.
I expected to be too impatient to do HW & SB which isn’t too far from the truth now because I don’t want to do SB right now, but I wanted to experience the base
quest journal gives a pretty rough overview of things, so you'll get a decent idea of things yeah
can also just pay attention to the voice cutscenes
as that's where the bulk of important information is
Hey guys, which race do you guys think WAR gear looks best on?
what gear should a tank have going into edens savage?
That’s highly subjective, but it looks good on them all tbh
Entirely subjective
Is there any use for collectibles with low collectibility that appraiser will not accept?
520 average item level is pretty much expected at this point
Thanks @faint flare
I’m asking because I’m a Lalafell and I don’t think it’ll look good on them. So any suggestions?
0/10 not glamming a dwarf hammer
okay so im trying to log in my server and i cant cuz the world is full, so im looking at getting out of trial
Now I know your Online ID
That’s only for PSN
@leaden ginkgo just wait out the queue
exactly
!faq subprice
It won't take long
Which I don’t mind since I only play FFXIV for online games
Not exactly, but there's lots of nier themed gear you can use to make a close approximation
is there underwater content? cause this is next gen u can swim in SB
Anything from that raid looks good on make Lalafell? I searched online but couldn’t find anything
so just to clarify if i buy the complete edition im getting all expansions up to shadowbringers, and after that i pay the $12 a month fee?
Subjective
No underwater combat
Yes
and 30 days free playtime
Maybe ask in #glamour-discussion if you're trying to go for a particular look but just asking "does this look good on lala" is a bit too subjective to get an answer here
Yeah Fashion differ from people to people
I'm at the point in the msq where it wants me to unlock bowl of emvars hard n the others. Where do I find those quests?
PRAY RETURN TO THE WAKING SANDS
A Recurring problem
I couldn't help myself

so i should actually buy the game after i beat heavensward
That VB ticket is quite convenient, at one point I ran out of it and still haven't attuned to Horizon aetheryte
Basically
if i want to buy a plot for my FC, are there any specifics i need to do
like does the money need to be in FC bank or in my inventory?
Ok thanks guys!
If you want to milk the trial for as long as possible I'd wait til the end of the heavensward patch content.
But also there's currently sales on squenix and psn iirc which end in less than 2 weeks
Also the ongoing server issues
there is just a different option to buy for your FC
not much will be different for the purchasing process at least
got it, thanks
you can also transfer your FC plot as well if that is an option but
i assume not since hence your question
I'm currently stuck in a huge queue for a story quest. Would visiting a different low pop world have a lower queue time or do they all share duty queue?
nah, our fc needs a plot and we've been doing housing savage :P
or they have, i just hopped on to start helping
is there like a site i can check the queue status? cuz the game just quits to desktop when i get the error
No
queue is cross worlds on the data center iirc
find a healer to party up with and requeue
It's a story quest
Why do people make fun of my friend for playing summoner?
Instance servers are currently ablaze ESPECIALLY on aether
All instance servers are full
jeez that's awful, I can't do anything else to progress
ohhh story quest nvm
