ye
The chests still spawn
only thing you won't get from it is mob exp and mob drops
plus you go in as your current lvl/ilvl
so if you want to farm something like for glamour
ohh, so if i wanted to say, farm for dungeon drop glamour, i could easily do that now that im lv60
can easily smash (depending on the lvl)
you think stone vigil can be solo farmed as tank with ironworks gear and lv60?
i wanted the axe
its fine, things will probably die before you need healing
what does the voidal resonator item do, that you can buy at the achievement guy
its a mount
So obtain lv 60 Augmented gear.. do u have to had almost completed the MSQ in HW to get access to it?
how does it look like?
ew
Falling eyeball
more or less. the lvl 58 MSQ takes you to idyllshire where you can buy the lv60 shire gear
Noob lore question, but I just beat the dragon in ishgard (the one before you get the enterprise) I was wondering why I got a crystal for beating it? I thought only primals gave crystals
I was told you can just travel there early if you wanted? Does that actually work?
so there's no good mounts you can get from the achievement guy then, or are more added when the more stuff you finish
no, you don't simply earn crystals from fighting primals. its basically like...you did a really worthy act to get it
i mean...this entirely depends on your definition of 'good'
Ohhh ok gotcha, I just thought it was something entirely tied to fighting the primal. Gotcha
but whats in the shop currently is whats available
oh so i have to wait until they add more stuff, or do i unlock anything special with the story as well
you would be waiting for them to add more stuff
as i said, what you see i n the shop right now is what's available
nope shops don't unlock before the lvl58 msq brings you to idylshire
no achievement weapons then?
no
feelsbad
Am gonna have to buy decent gear til then.. pff
real question are you a eos or selene gang ?
does dredge stack with unearth for mining?
if you havent reached idyllshire then realistically there's no reason to go out of your way to buy gear
just use what the msq gives you
you use poetics for the augmented shire gear ilvl270
Ive got along way of to obtain that lol
iirc yes
also i saw a player running around with wings, is that an accessory or an actual armor item
depends on which wings you saw
cos there's an accessory and an chest piece with wings
how do i get either xD
the accessory is bought with mgp in the gold saucer
the outfit is mogstation outfit (angelic/demonic sets)
how much
500 k
500k
Is there a website or guide out there that has “optimal” crossbar setups for each job?
wings are always available

perfect
not really, keybind/controller set up is largely personally
whatever is most comfortable for you
Damn. Unfortunate. Thanks
If you want a controller hotbar set up, I suggest squintina ones
What is squintina?
that said you can always take a look in #protips-and-ui for people's setups
and get inspiration from that
No need to be intimidated 🙂
We have beginners guides and a welcoming community
in order to join duties in the party finder, do i have to first have completed it ? it wont let me join even tho i have it available.
so let me get this right if it a crit heal it will put another shield on? stacking with Galvanize?
If I buy the Mythrite tools, should I hold onto my Artifact tools?
no, it'll put a bigger shield on
Like Mammon and Kurdeigon, that you get from the Level 50 crafting quests.
you can put those int he armoire
which duty roulettes are worth doing for best xp in order?
alliance/leveling/msq > frontlines > trials/normal > 50-70
just got my 530 cryptlurker weapon, i had a augmented exarchich weapon, is there anything to do with it now since i can't sell at the MB ?
@twilit arch is there a link for that info i can save? xd
Wait until next expansion when you can desynth/vendor it, or toss if you're doing badly on inventory space
ok thanks
idk if i'm understanding this right
if i wanted to get a shb relic weapon
i'd need to start all the way from the ARR base relic
No
and upgrade that all the way?
Relic weapons are tied to the expansion.
Does square enix refund if you bought the game twice on accident ?
The only exceptions is ARR -> HW allows you to skip the first step or two if you trade in your old one, but you can start the HW without it.
Just hit 50 - any views on what I should be spending these Tomestones on?
Write support, they'll likely refund it.
!faq poetics
Ironworks gear
Hey I have a question I want to level as mage with AOE farming, what class do I pick?
so that means i can just start farming shb relic without having any prior relic weapon, correct?
Correct
Is rdm or pld more fun ?
Is there a way to recover non-major MSQ rewards (so like allagan pieces, gear, food, etc) if you do a skip? And is there a way to see all the rewards from MSQ?
Just obtained Gunbreaker any tips? Am on ps4 btw
Subjective, but I think PLD
Less to have to juggle
It's personal preference honestly. They're pretty different.
dps classes are more flashy and fun in general maybe, but tanks queue up x10 faster so you end up actually playing the game with much less downtime, hard to say what's better
thank goodness
Which channel should I use to find people to do stuff with?
Never macro your continuation combo (or any combat skill for all jobs) ever. That's one tip.
Wow way too many questions from me today lol but I was mining and this girl had a glowing circle with lil orbs around it when she was mining. What was that?
I dont Macro anything
Depends on the stuff, but generally #recruitment-primal
I have an FC but I was more looking for a general area to ask people who aren’t necessarily in the same FC as me to do stuff. Would I still use that channel?
Yes, you are free to use that channel for finding things to do with people outside of your FC
probably sneak
It's just some player's first thought is to make continuation a single button macro to avoid the extra keybinds and it's bad practice, so I needed to mention. Outside of that, just treat the job as a dps more than tank tbh. Obviously, use your defensive cooldowns since you are a tank, but the job is closer to a dps than the other tank jobs. It has 30s burst windows, so just hit buttons as the come off cooldown and you'll be fine.
that means sneak is active
Most people tend to use it for FC recruitment but there are also many people who use it to find statics and stuff
prevents enemies from aggroing on them while gathering
Hello, i saw some streamers do trials with minimum ILvl and silence echo, does it give better loot or other things or is it just for the fun ?
just for fun
does INT do anything for Conjurer or should I focus on Mind?
Oh ok haha gotcha, I thought it was some advanced miner skill. Thanks. Idk why she had that on lol the mobs around were peaceful, thanks everyone
focus mind
mind only
k
thanks !
What r benefits of joining a FC and how do i find one
thanks
After a certain level, it turns on the moment you swap to that class
Ohhhh ok gotcha that’s handy
Does anyone how I can log in with another Square enix Id?
Okay thanks you!
Well, you gotta be off trial to do it, but the main benefits are friendship and people to help you run content and get better gear
company buffs that are basically on 24/7 that boost exp/mgp/etc (only 2 possible at a time). As for joining one, recruitment channels or just look in game
Assuming you’re off trial…
I own the game
No trial have 11 days playtime
I was almost there
Anyways, you can find them there, or in #recruitment-aether or just send a yell in chat in game
which crafter should i work on first?
ike what are the quickest ones to do
ah another question, when can I start doing dungeons? (is it called dungeons here?)
They’ll all progress about the same speed, but I found goldsmith and weaver most appealing because I was able to sell what I made fairly easily
They're identical
Level 15
ty
But you should do then all or you're wasting money
How do i log in with another square enix iD?
sell? what were yo uselling
how would i be wasting money not doing them all?
You exit the game, and then sign into the launcher with a different ID…
I was selling the items I crafted
By buying mats you need
Cause crafters need items from other crafters
And from gatherers
No, im on ps4. U cant change the ID here somehow.. its stuck with the first thing u ever typed in
HMM can't you get Rogue job with Free trial?
Need a new psn
Fair, what order would oyu suggest going on? as i got my miner and botanist to lvl50 already
All at once
Then you probably can’t swap. Why do you need to, if I may ask?
5-10 levels at a time
You can
that seems overly complicated tho
It's not really
oh right MSQ is just level9 hehe
To make a body armor, you might need leather, metal, fabric, and catalyst. Which comes from leather worker, blacksmith/armorer, Weaver, and alchemist
ig i will start with leather worker then
Fabric usually needs botanist for supplies
You gotta do your level 10 job quest before you can swap jobs, MSQ level doesn’t matter for that particular thing, iirc
Metal and catalyst usually need miners
Er, class quest
I tried to log into a ff14 App and they declined my password. Then I had to log into my game again as well but it always says my password is wrong. The support doesnt send me a passwordchange email… They only sent me a link to login site
where can i buy glamour prisms with company tickets?
Need to get to lv 10 to be able to unlock rogue, msq lv 15 if you didn't start in Limsa lominsa
nvm i found it
To be more specific, completing your lvl 10 class quest for your starting class unlocks gearset, which enables you to swap to different classes
Did you change your password recently? And did you go to Square Enix support or PS support? I think you need SE support
If you don't pick a starting class that start in Limsa, you will need to wait until lvl 15 msq that takes you to all the starting cities: Uldah, Limsa, and Gridania
I'm having problems putting stuff on my hot bar 2 and hot bar 3. I'm on ps5. Any suggestions?
I contacted SE support . And i never changed my password, i have this game since a week
Normal hotbars? Use the virtual mouse
Crosshotbar, R1+buttons to swap
That works even when you are in the "assign to crosshotbar" state
When I grab a spell and place it on the hot bar spot the spell won't go on to the hot bar
Which app did you try to log into, the companion app or the security one?
I am BSM level 53 geared with 345 Craftsmanship and 334 Control. I want to craft Inferno Primal weapons, but they require 391/374. How am i supposed to get those levels of attributes? How did people craft these weapons back in the ARR days where you didnt have access to 50+ gear?
Companion
The ARR solution was they make better lvl 50 gear and eat food for temporary stat boost
In my wondrous tails it says I need to complete PoD or HoH. Do I need to do ALL the floors?
The easy solution now is to get lvl 51/53 gear from Heavensward region
no, just a set of 10 floors @lapis sorrel
And (just making sure, so that im not missing any possible reasons it failed), you used your share ID and password, you didn’t try to enter your email or anything, right?
Yes
I did buy my 53 gear from The Pillars in Ishgard. Thats what brought me to my current levels
are those gc crafter/gatherer turn ins the same for everyone?
Is this game worth buying for pc if I already have it on ps4?
no, what is requested for the day is different for each person
Another question. It says I need to complete 3 lines for the maximum rewadars. The lines she refers to are horizontally or vertically?
To get more stat, you need to get HQ gear
meld materia, eat food for buff, or get better gear
!faq wondroustails
Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.
Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.
Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!
kk thx, thought i could make some ez money on the mb lol
Cause there's additional gear at 50 via master books. In addition normal quality gear is shit and so your gear worse than lv50 gear
GC request do pull from a limited pool
is this still viable or just usable for old cosmetic stuff
its useful if you're doing hte anima relic otherwise just ignore it
That's only for anima relocs these days
You can use that for relics
What you mean ? Tanks are scarce and got higher demand in parties than dps because its oversaturated ?
thanks, as always! 🙂
absolutely
New players usually lean toward Dps because it is fancier and "less responsibility"
for every tank there's 10 dpses
correct. As a healer i get instant queues for most stuff. Pretty cool
Furthermore there are more DPS jobs (10 against 4 tanks and 3 healers)
for every healer there's 10 tanks
play DPS solo queue? 15-30 min queue time for most things
play tank? 5 mins
play healer? instant
The only time tank has crap queue is alliance raid
It is 24 players, composition is 3 tanks, 6 healers, 15 dps
queue times are dependent on your data center, world, and the time you queue at
for all extensive purposes you can get instant queues with any of the three roles
And the type of content
like for pvp, I expect a queue time of over 30+ minutes at 8am my time, but at 8pm my time it's within 2 minutes
mon-fri
For example, high level optional dungeons/trial are probably gonna be slower compared to msq trials and dungeons
with sat and sun being almost all day good pvp queue times
Whats the thickest rapier that looks more like a sword ?
is there a way to change the size of text above people's heads? like their names and such
1720 more?
well technically "allied" is the highest
I hate the stances of rdm. Can we change their combat stance ?
but you have to be bloodsworn with all 3 stb tribes before you qualify to do the quest to be allied
you cannot
So the only other 1 handed melee option is pld right
but I need like
uh
10 more days right
sure, i guess paladin is the only other 1 handed class
hi!! i have the most basic question... i just downloaded the free trial on ps5 but i can't even get logged in :< it keeps saying my password is wrong even though i just updated it...
if you hide the shield
has anyone else had issues logging in the first time on ps?
11
did you start an account on the PC version first?
No
Machinist is technically one handed
so this is your first time logging in?
yea!
Cause they're in kugane
wait are you putting in your PSN password
or mogstation password
Not ishgard
helllo guys
i've been suffering a trouble in steam past 4-5 days
did everything internet has to offer so it worked again i log out then this happens anyone have any idea how do i permanently fix this ? i cannot even log in forum that says " failed to confirm session key' and no idea what that means. im a new player anyone would show me a way that i can contract with them or how do i fix it ? it is really frustrating and in this case my 6 month sub will go in vein
but also there are no combat leves from stormblood onward
i was putting in my recently created square enix acct password @spiral inlet
how do i get there? im currently doing the dragon prologue? epilogue? 😄
do y'all know if the one-time password field is required? im finding conflicting things online
Hmmm if you reset your mogstation password and that account information still isn't working then I have no clue; I don't think you need to activate the free trial

its not if yyou never had one
Did you activate a one time password
on your mobile device?
nuh
im not sure what a mogstation is :<
!faq mogstation
from your PS5 I believe
if your doing the demo
not sure how to link it
but I believe
you got to do it from your PS5
@faint flare so you said get one to 10 go next do the same go next etc right?
while you can access the mogstation from the PS5 by utilizing the landing page before login, it is by no means the only way to access it
I generally access it on my computer
Is there any downside to missing out on the MSQ rewards from ARR? (Aka if I skip ARR on my alt am I missing out on anything except EXP)
do you think 10 would be better per rather than 5?
how to add people to blacklist?
click someone /blacklist
jesus christ
I think that works
i aint never had such trouble starting a game before but im in now
thanks you guys!!
Eh do whatever you feel like that your gear can carry you through
razgriz are u on playstation :3
Nope PC
sad!
wait it is???
Yes
yeah LOl
omg
do all the crafters wear the same armour btw?
Yes
thats wonderful news!
Except tools
i mean yeah ofc except tools.
okie so which data center shld i pick?
also can you straight up buy i490 gear for crafters? or how do people get it like is that scrip gear
I’m going to assume the answer to this is no
or should i move that question to beginner lounge
One for your region
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
I mean, you could, from Market Board, as long as you’re high enough level to equip it
Tldr it doesn't matter as long as it's for your region
i wanna play on the same one as razgriz bc they were so helpful 
sounds code for toxic?
Tbh you probably won't have much choice
lmfao
LIke
With character creation locks
are older savage fight mounts guranteed drop? like O8s,O12s
yes, they are
Ok I never experienced it myself because I play a male character
but I heard if you play female characters
on my server
people will give you stuff
how do I get those red ones? my compass doesnt detect any more currents
like all the time
that is true of all servers
Quests
It has the quest icon
it'd be about 3mill gil~ for both the gathering and the uh crafter set, excluding any weapon costs
SO I SHOULD MAKE A CUTE CAT GIRL?!
i mean being afab has to be good for something -
if im on the steam free trial should i just make a new account and get the windows version?
yes you should!!
play what you want lol
just avoid limsa lominsa if you happen to like wearing revealing glams

does leveling increase your stats at all?
yes, mildly
Depends on the stat, but barely
or just unlock more gear to wear
99% of stats is via gear
FYI crystal/balmung is known as the RP server
oh love it
so yes, you are probably more likely to receive creepy/strange PMs if you frequent limsa as a revealing catgirl
idk it happens even on aether
Or uldah
i can handle it if it gets me free shit tbh 
well
people might attempt to hit on you
but I personally never experienced it myself
people are nice though
i mean, that's part of the free shit process
Free shit in exchange for "goods and servicess"

Brown?? Wasn’t that yellow?
Hi guys, im trying to set macros but the game is saying Embrace isnt a valid action
You gotta start the marriage to get the embrace emote, if you mean that
there's no reason to macro embrace
Is it hard to find a group for last raid of crystal tower ? I've been waiting 80min. And i do need to finish crystal tower sooner or later for mdq right ?
Ok i was just following a guideline lol
you can't macro embrace anyways, afaik
why cant i be a viera 
try setting your DF language settings to search for all languages
what's that one command,uh
you need the full game
you can always
rip
!faq language
whatever you're following is outdated
!faq dflanguage
Ty i'll try that
you can fantasia later if you buy the full game
they give you like
2?
nice
you get one free from the msq
Just one
you only get one from msq
I think from HW
Im just trying to make my job easier to heal lol
Collectors
the other ones, you would've bought
Yeah hw collector's has 1
yep
If anyone has sch macros
But that's not free
macros aren't used like that, really.
No
many people are going to advise you to use as little macros as possible, if at all
that being said, consider one that places sacred soil on top of your target
imma be da dragongirl then 
They are "not" dragons
other macros are discouraged, including raise macros
Macros are inherently designed to be not good for active combat
Just selecting on a controller is hard
Dpad up down
i believe the recommended way is to have a macro that just selects your intended target
Manually using d pad
and doesn't have a skill included
@robust crowYOU SAVED MY LIFE ! I had no idea i was playing only with people from my country, i understand why every queue took me 1 hour now 😢
it's 2 button presses (one to select the target and one to cast your spell) but it won't hurt your casting as much
You can loop around, so in a 4 player party, to pick the last player, just dpad up once
yep that setting only matters in EU or JP servers
Ok great tips
since us dumbasses in NA only speak 1 language
but i speak 2 so don't lump me in with the rest of these people
why cant i do rogue quest ..its locked
American isn't one of the option though
Do your class quests
Well we have French here in Canada lol
@pale sluice complete level 10 class quest for your starting class
It unlock gearset
Which unlocks the ability to swap to different classes
I mean how many Canadians actually speak the 2 tho
@mild wind another you might want to look into is soft targeting
We got normal Canadians and the Quebec
It allows you to use 1 skill on a temporary target
help I keep training them but all three wont become green and I keep failing the mission
OK my bad ... must have done the TL;DR somewhere .... cause i misunderstood what my class quest was 😄
keep training them and look for traits that increase the low stat, also use the training board to rebalance your stats
Hit boss with damage spell
Soft target tank
Heal tank
Cast damage spell
Automatically target boss with the damage spell
There is no need to re target the boss here. You just cast damage spell and it will lock back to the boss.
it's common that people can't do that flagged mission until late level 40
like 46ish
People often overlevel them
Ok that’s helpful
And just shuffle around team
keep training them and look for traits that increase the low stat, also use the training board to rebalance your stats
Personally I hate soft targetting, causs it affects EVERYTHING and not specific spells
Meaning targetting stuff to kill is just ass
there a guide to leveling gathering?
You need to hard target the boss
Ok so what are the odds of getting an application for teams? Cant seem to get anyone to apply for a 4th member
Then soft target to throw out quick heals
And I've been doing the challenge logs
can you elaborate? what you trying to do
Squadrons
oh
Ye
you get applicants based on your weekly challenge log
there's like, dozens of possible applicants and they all apply based on which category of log you complete
for example, everyone's favorite pirate au ra girl only applies on a rare chance for every gold saucer challenge you complete
and this chance can be increased by using that one scrolll
whose name i forget
here's a list of every possible recruit and what their criteria are
khorchi is the fucking best
Ah kk
it's also important to note
if you get an applicant for 1 category
you have to go review and dismiss/recruit that applicant before another one shows up in that same category
Hello all, kind of a controller question: for some reason I can place my aoe’s anymore, I use a PS4 controller through steam
Are these scrolls craftable or do I buy them and if so are they worth the cost?
so if you are targeting khorchi and you get a recruit for gold saucer, you need to dismiss that recruit first and then go do more gold saucer logs
they're buyable with gc seals
after a certain rank
@proper nest maybe the cursor is way out of sight?
no you can own one of numerous categories
you just can't have their application in your queue
you can have 5 gold saucer recruits if you want
I've been doing that, but no matter what I do, one of the catogary is 2-3 points too low and if I try to train that catogary, another one becomes red
Id assume I should be looking into synergies
but if you have one gold saucer applicant, you won't see any gold saucer applicants until you hire or dismiss that one
Makes sense
because you are probably maxed on your stat and you need to just level your units up
ah ok! ty
did you read my messages? i mentioned many people don't get to do that mission until like level 46
Sorry my brain isnt working lol
after you get the max stats from training, the board is only used to shuffle stats around or to get exp
Well thanks for the help! Ima try and get into that then
ok! ty
wait what
they are a DPS who happens to have a healing skill that isn't shit
and the ability to rez
that unlocks later then i presume
They get rez and heal because of lore
vercure at 54 or some shit
black and white magic
and verraise at 64
i was so confused cuz im like where is all my healing moves lol its all dps stuff
that's their only 2 healing spells
@proper nest if you mean that the AOE shows up, but you cannot place it down: press the same skill again
yes because RDM is a DPS
it's also important to note that RDM have better raise access than healers do
because your dualcast mechanic works on the raise cast time
they're the only class in the game that can chain rez
!trait dualcast
Grants the effect of Dualcast upon casting any spell with a cast time. While under the effect of Dualcast, your next spell will require no time to cast. Effect is canceled upon execution of any action other than an ability. Auto-attacks do not cancel effect.
does anyone know if my characters bday is important?
no
Nope
just flavor and RP
Just flavor
nice thank you!
and cake
Tldr: there is no way to make permanent mistake in ffxiv
wht about patron deity?
Same thing
flavor and RP
It seems like I can only move it when I switch the virtual mouse mode. Weird thing is I didn’t have to do that before
just pick whatever deity you like the most
so pretty much red mage is OP?
i wouldn't say they are OP but they are very strong in prog parties
no
nothing is op
except blu , i guess
@proper nest with controller, it will move with your camera outside of virtual mouse mode
rdm is good for rezzing so theyre great for prog
but thatsabout it
theyre good just like every other caster
you also virtually never use vercure to actually heal
90% of the time you use vercure to give yourself a dualcast proc when the boss isn't targetable
Vercure is good for soloing contents
Ok got it! Thanks 🙏
You can use virtual mouse the adjust the starting position of your AOE
During combat, you can just make quick adjustment by moving the camera
What is the point of Fellowships?
That's the fun part
They don’t seem very useful without a chat system, perhaps I misunderstand the purpose
That's kinda pretty much it
Free advertising space at least
Most just have a thing uo advertising something and slap a discord link into the message of the day thing
Is it possible to get the EW preorder bonus if I have a steam copy? Can I just buy the expansion on steam and redeem the code to get the preorder bonus
One if the many things that sounds great on paper but bad in active
No
Does anyone knows how to return to my home? I think I did something to my server
where do u go to turn off effects
If you're a steam account you can
like the parties effects
Yes, I'm on a steam account and bought the other expansions thru steam
You can get preorder bonus early?
Huh
So I'll buy EW on steam and redeem it and hopefully thatll give me the preorder bonus
People had their earrings once preorder opened
Is it true that tanks should have less Tenacity and more crit and determination instead? My friend was telling me Tenacity is useless
Takes time to arrive in the naik
Yes cause tenacity is shit
And aether is currently ablaze
gotcha!
At 4k tenacity, you have 8% mitigation
WHICH IS LITERALLY NOTHING
Can someone help Griz with their battle effect question?
I don't remember the setting off the top of my head
Character configuration > general > character
I'm surprisely online for once
is there a looking for group system or party finder for new players?
We recommend making party effect limited
to just play with randoms or something?
You will still be able to see healing bubbles with limited
It's the games match making and how you do any instanced content t
ah ok, i'm guessing that first duty I did was a solo quest?
where is it? all i see is fellowship finder?
There's tons of them
There's many solo instances
Lvl 15 story will put you into your first dungeon
It even tells you when it's a solo instance
ahh
You'll get the duty and party finder when you get our first dungeon
Oh, guildhest is match made too
Poke about the menus, I'm on mobile
Under the duty menu button
Party finder is under the party menu button
But are locked until you get a dungeon
Okay, jokes over
Is the website the only/best way to find a CWLS, or even just a LS in general?
Thanks, think I'll rush lvl 15 then check those menus
story level 15
Lvl 15 story
People don't really party up just for general stuff in this game
Grinding your character to lvl 15 won't do anything
When we say a level of something, it's that story level
This is largely a single player jrpg with an mmo wrapped around it
ohhh
The design philosophy is: Final Fantasy game first, mmo second
And
EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
Just so you know what to expect
Yeah, this is no some sandbox mmo
ahh cool, i'll try pay a bit more attention to the story too 😄
what exactly are we trying to fix
nvm
Done what you have a minion on your shoukder
I was unsubbed from the game for a while. Now that I'm back, I'm in a different free company than I remember. Is that normal?
You remembered incorrectly
your memory is wrong or you got hacked
fixed, it's my minion being inside my character model
They probably renamed themselves while you were gone
Or one of those
Renaming is a valid reason too
Lots of minions can perch on your shoulder, that one specifically will just do it cuz it feels like it
Anyone got a guide for grinding Company Seals? I spent all mine on some dumb purchases, and now I can't send out my Squad on their level 40 mission
i forgot fcs can rename, lol
I'll guess that renaming is what happened. I didn't see anything else out of the ordinary from where I last left off.
Idk if they can, that's just the simplest explanation
Thanks!
roll greed/need on literally every dungeon drop and turn it in for seals
@errant swan get dungeon gear, trade to GC for seals
Turn dungeon gear for seals
go solo like the aery/vault for gear
Just roll on everything
and exchange them
Yeah, was confusing as hell until I saw what it had actually done.
Thank you all!
Assuming you can exchange gear for seals
Oh, yeah
Arr is largely setup and world building, but it does payoff. It's the worst part of the game for various reasons but still pretty solid, the later parts are just a lot better
Yeah, I've been avoiding rolling greed like a dumbo. Also been grinding the Gold Saucer like cray cray
Just greed them
rolling greed is literally just free shit
because everyone passes
i'm swimming in company seals
i dump it all on random shit all the time
2000 ventures? yep
Some minions like puff of darkness can also be /beckon -Ed to your shoulder
They would gone into the void if you don't greed them
700 dark matter? yep
200 of those teleport tickets that brings you right to the entrance of your GC? fuck yeah buddy
It is not like you are taking the gear off a baby's hand
There's a nanamo minion that will climb up your character to get there
is there any place similar to south shroud water sprites at higher level?
for a quick "bosom buddies" or a longer grind
Not that I can think of, why are you even asking?
Oh for that
Just kill mobs closer to your current level
Being synced counts for Bosom Buddies, so you can do a low level Fate
Or fates, those will count towards the bosom buddies challenge log
How to I find a linkshell to join? Would the recruitment channels have some, or should I like send a yell in game?
can anyone come help me with the whorleaer mount please?
yeah but 79 mobs are a nice exp on its own i just can't find any dense spot for that
All the ones on community finder seem intimidating
Not that kind of questions and help chat, try #recruitment-chaos or unsync or party finder
ok
any reason you're looking for a linkshell and not just an fc
people don't generally publicly advertise their LS
I’m in an FC, I just want more people to talk to in game
not sure there's any other resources for finding linkshells besides community finder
where do you get this from?
join your server's novice network or something
Ultimate bahamut
looks like ucob sword
It is
Cool, thank you for answering
anyone who played early ARR, could healers rez in the wolves den?
Golden glows are ucob
aight thanks
One of the 3 ultimates, hardest fights in the game
always get ucob and tea weapons mixed up
Yeah that's ucob
i guess TEA has the spinning gears
Ucob is lines, tea is gears
also who's the strongest primal lore wise and who's the hardest to beat in game?
Tea is more white
Lore wise, leviathan, since we have to rely on a trick to fight him
levi isnt the strongest even lore wise
How do I get scrips?
cool thanks
Do collectibles
yellow/white scrips are from rowena collectibles or custom deliveries
he was a pretty fun fight too
heavily advised to do custom deliveries first
once I get the "duty complete" on a levequest am I safe to start another one without affecting the completed ones timer bonus? Or do I need to turn in the first one asap?
Who then?
before attempting rowena collectibles
the only reason why had to use the "trick" on him is cos there was no way to fight him outside of the water
Bahamut would still be a lot stronger
i dont mind dm it or put cover it with the spoiler thing
I always forget baha
idk just tell em when you fight em i guess
asmon might have spoiled it for me if it is who i think it is
Lol no
on his new video about the story
Fucker hasn't a clue
It's way too deep into the game for him
oh so its not in the first expansion
I'm not answering that
idk i dont make games
End of convo, move it elsewhere or give up
@leaden ginkgo ill answer it for a cheeseburger
maybe they would indroduce other big bads
for a salad maybe
strongest primal is fucking ||godbert hildibrand|| change my mind
gross, figure it out yourself
nah its ||julyan||
but no for real why is realm reborn so slow
cos its sets a lot of the groundwork
Cause of early design principles
it made me become a psychopath i skip every cynematic
And groundwork
that the expansions build off of
well thats not what they're called but anyways
Because setup, and an INSANE development cycle
Which GC has the best glamor
damn if it gets better than it already is, it deserves legendary status
None
none of the GC glamours stood out to me
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.
If you really want to compare
Ah thank you
But idgaf since its all pretty lousy
Hey I just want a cool coat
It won legendary status just being such a massive clean up after 1.0
by the way is there any armor worth grinding for before Patch 2.4 (Dreams of Ice)
where do I go to unlock alexander breath of the creator?
Ironworks gear is the best gear in arr. You won't have anything better til level 64/65 ish msq in hw
proceed down the alexander questline
it starts in idyllshire after you beat HW
cool i almost have the full set
I haven't checked up on it in quite some time, is there a way to check my progress?
64/65 is stormblood
Poetics gear is always the highest item level gear of a given expansion
So there's poetics gear for stormblood and heavensward too
see how many alexander normal raids you've unlocked
go to your DF for heavensward normal raids
And the best ShB gear will become poetics gear once Endwalker releases
is grinding to upgrade curtana worth it or will i just find something better
strictly glam only
I unlocked everything up to burden of the father
100% not worth
Then keep going through the Alexander quest line
are the botanist quests a joke? 99 crow feathers.... really?
ok
yeah ik lol
is there a way to make hotbar layouts job specific
Arr yes, later ones aren't as bad
it's worth it if you really want the glam, but PLD gets cooler glams later anyway
and you honestly don't want to do the zodiac relic at level 50, it's easier if you're max level
redoing my entire hotbar every time i change jobs is highly obnoxious
also save gearsets and use those to switch
is it recommended for me to change jobs(sam/...)whenever the fck or do i just try to beat arr on main which is paladin
Character configuration > hotbar > sharing
Re-doing the hotbar after getting soul crystal is frustrating af. Just carry over from my previous bars! 
Turn sharing off and it will swap your hotbars
you can just use /hotbar copy JOB 1 current 1
No Sam without stormblood, so if you're on free trial you can only weeb via ninja
change jobs whenever you want as long as you can keep doing msq
sounds like you're ahead of MSQ anyway
i got sam tho
i just wonder if its worth changing to it
Then change whenever
this is amazing
do your daily leveling roulette for a huge chunk of exp that will help with keeping side jobs leveled
Game doesn't care what job you are
thats awesome
Just that it's high enough for whatever content
thanks that wirked
when is the new expansion coming out btw?
November 23rd
oh cool
19th.for early access
i imagine 40 bucks?
damn
Any strong views on which tank is the most fun to play, assuming I’m reasonably casual and unlikely to dip my toes in organised endgame content?
imagine having payed for every single one from the start
whatever looks coolest to you
Subjective but gunbreaker is smooth
i find drk and pld glams to be coolest looking
PLD glams vs Squall Leonhart cosplay is a real tough choicr
when do you unlock extreme level raids/trials/dungeons and from your experience how hard is it to fin something like a raid team either through discord servers or randomly through playing the game?

Most people don't "run" old extremes. They'll unsync Farm them form mounts and materials as groups via party finder but you'll have to go out of your way to try do them as intended
!iglam priwen lux
How do I take out umbrella?
but drk does have some nice ass giant swords
what exactly is unsyc farming
Character > fashion accessories
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
Let's you enter at your current level
So you can steam roll extreme ifrit with a level 80 blm in ilevel 530 gear when it was only designed for like item level 60
@jade quartz fashion? I don’t see no fashion in character
Oh wait
I was looking in character lol
man why cant i login for the free login campaign my last sub was in january
Question
During the dark knight story now that i'm above 50
do i still get to attune with my master
New Fashion Report has dropped, but no one has solved it yet, yeah?
or was that just the first one?
no, judging starts tomorrow
It's not Friday
viera
Why not progress the story and find out
hey, can paid users add free trial players as a friend ?
yes
but they have to send you the request
oh ok, some random guy in limsa sent me a request and I got hella confused
Swore I saw the new Fashion Report was Ironworks-somethin-or-other
its a pretty easy guess from the hit that it'll be ironworks chest
but until judging starts nothing is assured
Outside the quicksand
hmmm
Oh I see
outside the adventurer's guild in other words
Thanks
it is as soon as you enter the city before the stairs that lead up
@spiral inlet making sure you see it
if you did, sorry for the ping
yes
new players are in their own instance of the starting cities until they finish the very first quest
then they should appear in the adventurer's guild of the appropriate city
oh ok
If i want to play Samurai eventually should i do pug/monk or does it not matter?
No
doesn't matter
im ngl
Any job to 50
pick what you want
i thought grinding for ARR Relics was gone be easy this bitch still a grind
Can u see mining in map or toggle it? How you find ores or whatever its called in starter zones?
yep
but they get less and less grindy
