wait what?
it's target player + party near player
Cure 3 is a concentrated short range Medica I
It's worse than Cure 2 at healing one target
.....
long range medica
that's... not happening with me
Its purpose is burst healing at high cost when the group is stacked
at least i don't think so.
Well it should do, frankly, because that's what it does
Does it heal target?
!action cure II
i'll test later to make sure
read carefully
but I need to complete a quest to unlock it right?
Cause it should at the very least heal your target
It not healing NPCs near your target is normal behaviour, kinda
Cause AoE heals are kinda wonky with that and almost never consider NPC as party members for the sake of aoe heals/shields
Cure 3 has ridiculously niche purpose, honestly
Its only useful purpose is healing the party if they are stacked
using it as a healing spell otherwise is more MP for less profit
looks fine to me. Maybe a lag/ping issue? try increasing the timer of them by a second
And if you need healing right now and can't let medica 2 regen
and you are only pressing the macro once, right?
???
hi. im new in the game . i want to know how to pull monsters in dungeons ?
with dark khnight
!faq tankguide
For the main quest from Minfilla "A Time to Every Purpose" it says I need to complete Crystal Tower Missions. How many Crystal Tower Mission do I need to do?
Also be aware that if you want to tank as drk you have a long way to go as a new player. It’s locked behind a significant amount of main story progression unless you pay extra for a boost which I do not recommend for a new player.
I want to upgrade my cryptlurker which item do i buy with the nier coins?
It’s a quest chain with 3 24m raids.
to the final quest of the quest chain itself, "The light of hope"
So I complete The Light of Hope to unlock the mission?
yes once you complete that quest, you will be able to continue with the msq
Crypt Dusting/Ester/Twine
Ok thanks
The ones that cost 1 of each coin. Twine is for armor, ester is for weapon, the dusting is for accessories on the right side and belt.
@opal swan Also you can’t wear 2x augmented crypt rings. You can wear an augmented and normal one though.
Unequip the armor piece you want to augment. Bring both to the vendor on the far left desk.
Then just talk to the npc and you should be able to figure it out.
Thx
lol for those who are in the uk
did you see that the WoW effect even made it to bbc
huuuuuuuh?
bbc is the national news
Those figures show that its games lost two million players in three months.

not relevant to the channel
but yeah
#not-ffxiv-discussion i guess
👌
thx
hey, trying to transfer my character on Gilgamesh to Siren, but hes not showing up on the home world trasnsfer service, only my character thats on a different data server that I dont use

heyo guys.. can somebody tell me what i do with my old gear around level 20 and below? just sell at normal vendor?
Unless you want to use it for a class that can also equip it.
The weekly reward is something else.
the stellaclusters
in other words, it doesn't matter, don't worry about it
Can you buy hairstyles on Mog station if you're still on free trial?
I have 50k company seals. What do I do with it? Im pretty sure Im capped on ranks.
I’d say don’t spend money in the cash shop unless you want to commit to the game.
Got all your promotions for seals?
You can buy ventures. Those are pretty useful.
I don't mind spending 5 bux for a game I'm enjoying, but I don't want to pay a subscription yet because all the content available to me thus far is all f2p
Ah. Well as far as I know you can do that yes.
But to use the hairstyle you need the aesthetician unlocked or the one free Fantasia you get.
When im trying to apply for a promotion the npc says there are no further promotions avaible.
You must do a squadron mission
There's a special one after you get your squadron to a high enough level
Not his question. I just wanted to make sure he didn’t have any promotion to spend it on before using seals.
Ah
Just making sure. Ventures are a safe buy to send out retainers.
So 50k is max?
Glamour prisms if you want quick cash and got enough ventures to last you a while
90k is max at captain.
Ok how do I get higher rank?
You must do a squadron mission There's a special one after you get your squadron to a high enough level
Not sure what squadrons is tbnh
The door on the left of the desk
Barracks okay.
You get to hire your own squad and train them up, send them on missions and even lead them through dungeons
secondly, what's the best way to earn MGP? I really want those hairstyles 😄
Stay in the saucer and play mini games and participate in all gates.
Also weekly challenges.
Fashion Reports nets you 90k if you get 80 points
And it's actually really easy to get 90k this week
The weekly challenges can net you various recruits.
I used the info to make an all Elezen squadron. 😄
What FFXIV Race seems to fit the Machinist Job, in the way of aesthetics?
Cool, yeah, I was debating between those two.
I always say go Elezen. 😄 But I’m biased.
Lol
Since the new expansion is coming soon...
I was wondering:
Is it worth grinding for the currecnt BIS gear? Relic weapons, cryptlurker etc... ?
Entirely up to you
If you wanna do savage eden, maybe?
I wont get heavy into grinding for this expansion, and my thought/fear is that gear with a similar item lvl will most likely be purchasable on the mb with the launch of endwalker... Or not? 😮
is there anyway to makes friends/join a guild if your on the free trial and cant message or be messaged lol
My SAM is currently lvl 51. Is it possible i can lvl it to lvl 60 in one day easily?
Worth? Peculiar question
I raise you this question, the hell do you plan to do between now and EW if not.. acquiring bis gear
Can you transfer data centers?
Yes
Well if you get the 51 dungeon, spam it to 53, skip all cutscenes, do the 53 dungeon to 55, skip all cutscenes, and repeat for the 57 and 59 dungeons then maybe.
Otherwise spam palace of the dead all day and hope for the best.
You cannot join a guild on the trial.
Since you can’t whisper either it will be difficult to talk to people as well.
icic. I can also do daily's aswell which can be good ty
On average, it takes 7 dungeons run for 2 levels
so im doing msq and it suggest materia and uuh for which stat out of these i better take one if im bard atm?
hello if i want to unlock southern bozjan frontline , i must have completed heavensward and stormblood alliance raids?
coonfused why is it on the 30 lvl msq then
You change gears too fast for materia to be worthwhile
Bard needs crit more than anything else.
Cause game level cap was level 50 back then yes
oh so they just moved the time when u start use that?
You can start now
The masked carnival in my opinion is pretty difficult. Does anyone know any good links that have suggestions to the skills that I should learn?
But it is pointless in sense you get better gear fast
Low level Materia just slowly become not worthwhile
Because you get better gear faster
You don’t need materia for low level. But so you know if you play bard in the future, it is crit dependent for most of its dps. Unless they change it in Endwalker which is always possible I suppose.
well crit it is then
thanks
Like how your basic potion slowly become pointless in the later part of Pokémon
If you read your songs, their buffs activate when your dot effects crit.
That's a Stormblood thing
It is a flat rate now
But crit is still good for Bard, in fact it is good for all Jobs
!action wanderer minuet
!action wanderer's minuet
Nevermind
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: Grants the Wanderer's Minuet to all party members within 30 yalms, increasing their critical hit rate by 2%
Duration: 30s
Additional Effect: 40% chance to grant Repertoire when damage over time is dealt by Caustic Bite or Stormbite Repertoire Effect: Allows execution of Pitch Perfect
Can be stacked up to 3 times.
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.
Does the FF14 Collectors Edition come with free 30 days if you already have a account?
how does one level doman enclave fast?
Do you already own the game? Or just have an account? Because you can upgrade to the collector’s edition.
I have the Starter Edition
You can’t. You have to hit the cap each week and let it progress.
yeah i mean whats the best thing to donate
Ah. I misunderstood. Allagan pieces are good.
Which Allagan pieces? the blueprints ?
!item allagan gold piece
Will I get free 30 days if I buy the Collectors edition while having the starter edition?
oh you can buy those in the mb
Why not just pay for subscription
And upgrade to Collector Edition on mogstation by paying the difference
The different Allagan pieces vendor for a lot depending on what you get.
You can hit the cap with just a few items.
I’m not sure.
can i get the extreme trial mounts with tokens at some point or by pure luck only
Or just donate any old gears you don't need
Depends on the ex trials.
The ones that drop tokens yes eventually. The arr ones don’t drop tokens.
oof
what solo ex trial?
solo solo or with npcs?
You unsync them, go in as a lvl 70+ character, and kick their level 50 ass

Solo solo.
how do i unsync them
so the queue with randoms is synced?
yeah
i see
iirc you can solo all of the extreme ARR Trials
However i'm not sure about Ramuh
can i do unsynced queue?
nope
I just need to grind 5 levels between 70 and 75 ASAP, is queing dungeons the right way to do this? I'm a tank FYI
unsynced is pre-made only
you can go with friends
You can use party finder for u sync but not duty finder
The undersized party is just a setting that turns off sync, size and role requirements requirements
You could go in as 4 tanks if you really wanted to
Meaning they'll have to apply to your party specifically (or already be in party)
u can get loot but no exp
☝️



It makes it very easy for players to grind trials, raids, or dungeons for loot (usually mounts or gears for glamour)
But prevents people from power leveling Jobs
how do i add my frinds on ff were on same server different world
i can solo exreme trials from hw and stomrblood too?
HW on PLD maybe. SB, probably not
HW - Possible, but hard. You can do Ravana as a WHM
SB - Absolutely not until Endwalker at least.
So if I keep doing the Bozjan questline I'll eventually be able to buy the armor, right?
50
meows
yes
Iirc, Lakshmi EX can be soloed, but it is not worth the effort
Unless you are only doing it cuz you want to, and not to grind mount
Susano is simply not possible to solo
On Free Trial for 1 month now and planning to get the Collector’s Edition since it’s on sale. It is mentioned that there is a 1 month free. Will my new character be free or since I’m playing it already, it will not be applicable to me?
you will unlock the ability to buy the armor sets, although you'll have to grind a bit to actually buy them
tyvm
@vale cargo none of them will match your level when you unlock them
You'll keep your account
Oh, nvm, I understood your question incorrectly
Can I use allegory when I unlock Eulmore or do I have to finish ShB

can people join The Orbonne Monastery . I've been looking since yesterday on duty finder to find this raid but I cant join it at all !!
@vale cargo those Jobs
Will I still get the free 1 month?
Thanks
Is there anything I spend allegory on till end of ShB? wondering if I should farm the currancy now or wait till im closer to end of msq so I dont cap out on them
Are you on lvl 79 or 80
?
hey guys!
I assume that you are getting Allegory from doing roulette with your lvl 80 Job?
Any clue how close I am after I do the mission with the murder Dullahan?
76, and yes from 80 roulette
msq 76\
Don't waste roulette on a max level job
Guys the whorleater extreme always drops mount?? i did it and didnt get mount 😦
I only did 1 just to see, and thanks, that was my follow up question, want to level other jobs
@weak linden not always
The drop rate should be very generous
Just give it a few more run
(anywhere between 3-7)
you have to complete the story quest that involves the dungeon for that arc (castrum, DR or Dal Riada) to unlock the armor IIRC
Thank you.
Worth it as a method of leveling alts in your opinion or should I move on?
sorry one more question @warped nest, can I use whitescrips at eulmore once unlocked or is that end of ShB msq also
that depends on if you like Bozja or not
Probably end of ShB 5.0 too
Fair
damn, want to glamor up my hand jobs zz, ty
You probably want to rephrase that
I stand by what I said
I can only admire your courage
is it normal for ramuh extreme to drop nothing at all?
I am a hand job main after all ❤️
Do you mean you don't see a coffer?
You sure you're doing extreme
^ and not hard
Yeah
lol you're right, thanks, coulda swore I ticked extreme
Good luck with your loot
I've done that a few times lol dw
Have fun
will do thanks 🙂
Once, I was stuck for 2 hours trying to figure out how I got into the wrong dungeon
I didn't tick it off my duty finder
lol
Question , u cant just finish 200 floors of potd in one go right
I mean you could but it’s not easy.
But I wouldn’t say it’s impossible. Just really tough.
Ideally do u need max everything to get 200
And honestly a good bit of RNG and stuff
Aka not getting hit by mines or traps in general, not getting poxed in bad floors, etc
Those can break runs
how do I unlock squadron dungeons?
Rank up to second lieutenant in your grand company
Then through the door on the left and do the squad stuff
I noticed all the defensive abilities for tanks have different durations and cooldowns. For PLD and GNB, is there an ideal order to activate the defensives?
Whatever you need at the tine
I'm doing lvl 60 msq quests in heavens ward, where do I get a tomestone weapon? In Ydylle they just sell me armor it seems
People like going strongest first
Bertana does weapons
Talk to the lady on the left
There's gotta be an ideal order to maintain maximum coverage time
Er
Right
The lady on the right
Weapon and armour vendors always have been two separate vendors
There isn't due to fights having different timings on busters
is it more efficient to use leveling duty roulette on alt job or main job?
Be off free trial and honestly just ask in a city for an invite
@wintry chasm thx found it
thank you!
Right click people you see with a guild tag, you can view the fc and apply for it
When petitioning to open a new FC, does those 3 signed member needs to stay? They are welcome to stay.
No, they can leave once the FC is formed
What's the point of burst strike if the wicked talon combo does more damage on avg?
Thank you ^^
Oh there's a cooldown on the wicked talon combo
Static is basically a group you raid with
Free company is just like, a social guild sort of thing
Right. You can do one in your No Mercy burst window and then a second one outside of it.
My static is a group I raid savage with three days a week with. My FC is my guild who I hang out and socialize with in my off time.
@wintry chasm Thanks 🙂
That’s generally how it goes for most people. :X
Is there any best food leveling ? Atleast some over 30 mins ?
nah and the stats don’t matter too much for combat food early on
your FC can extend the food buff if they use the proper abilities, it can cap at 45mins
but by default, all food is 30 minutes
Eating two bits of food will put it at an hour too
Where is the best plae to buy it ?
there’s vendors in most settlements and especially the markets in the main cities

Is the ishgard building stuff going away in 6.0?
no
Great thanks
How am I supposed to get a house in Ishgard when that comes out?
how can i see what my level is with a beast tribe?
We don’t know the specifics of how the system will be or if they’ll make any changes to it yet.
But if it’s anything like kugane it’s first come first serve.
Hit C, Reputation.
Far right tab I believe.
damn it was really that easy...
Isn't it confirmed it'll have a lottery system?
it'll have a mix of both
Not exactly. They did say they’re adding a lottery system but it’s not the only way.
Right, but at least partly
it might be small = lottery
medium and large first come
And again, we don’t know the full extent of it yet.
Yk the prices n stuff? Never got into housing n this gon be the first expansion that I’m here for too
Can never be sure what they’ll do to try and band aid their broken housing system.
We don’t.
wouldn't the prices be like the other housing wards?
Welp
Yes and no. But remember there’s a variance based on location.
Ty sir
Why can't I turn in the quest "Baleful Brews"? I made the weak blinding potion and now nothing
A small is average 2-5 mil. Medium is 9-15 mil and a large can go as high as 50-60mil.
Can't turn it in, won't even say it's completed, and I can't talk to the guy
Small - 3,000,000-3,750,000
medium - 16,000,000-20,000,000
Large - 40,000,000-50,000,000
That's initial pricing. They go down to about 50% over the course of 30 days
(info from lodestone)
Does it require HQ?
HQ?
high quality
High quality.

I feel like I've hit a leveling wall. I'm level 57. I'm still doing the MSQ that's after the first one, I'm doing the daily roulettes, and then spamming Prae. I have my 30% earing and keep up the food buff. My exp bar is barely budging. Any ideas?
Is this symbol next to the quest requirements?
Because prae doesn’t give good exp.
If you want decent exp you need to get in HW content.
Ok! I wasn't aware. So I still need to keep grinding the MSQ
Indeed.
Ok thank you so much
You can afford to skip roulettes at this point and focus solely on msq.
You’ve got a ways to go before you reach a dungeon that will give some decent yields.
How the hell do I make it high quality?
Short version, crafting abilities come in two flavors. Synthesis and Touch.
Touch abilities increase quality. You need to increase that bar without bringing the durability to zero and complete the craft.
If I buy a 60day timecard from amazon, does that count towards veteran rewards, and can I use it with FFXIV on PC? I can link the one I'm looking at, if you'd like.
The higher the quality bar the more likely you are to make HQ.
It doesn’t need to be max.
I barely move any of them in the first place
where can i get glam prisms?
I don't even move it 10 per try
Is your gear up to spec?
Alright so the first move you should use is inner focus. It creates a stacking buff for touch abilities.
Inner focus makes a massive difference.
Cause if your gear is not up to date, then yeah, bye bye any HQ crafts
And so does gear.
I have no idea.. I'm broke and just want to make money
Leveling crafting is an investment. You’ll be spending money unless you also do gathering.
Crafting can take a lot of gil to get up to speed
Even if you do gathering, it can hurt
So if you're broke, you're just fucked
Unless you specifically level all crafters at once and craft yourself gear as y ou go
No way to get back up:))
Yes.
That's so dumb..
If you pick the right recipe make extra and sell them
Just do the low stuff, until you can hit higher things
Incorrect. There are alternate sources.
You can do roulettes for money
You can also farm dungeons for gear, turn it in for Glamour Prisms and sell those on the market
You can make gils while leveling doh/l
Use HQ ingredients, it helps a lot
Adventurer in need helps.
HQ ingredients are goated
Glamour prisms sell for so little it's insane
Yeah
But you sell a fuck ton of them
and suddenly you make 22k per 99
and it's braindead to get them
It's quick and easy money
quick and easy money is never a lot
Grand company vendor is usually easiest.
ok, thank you!
Worthless way of making money

They sell like hot cakes
It's easy 100k+ every couple days (daily even if you run enough dungeons)
I'm not looking for the "How to make a little gil" I want to be mega rich
100K in a couple of days doesn't cut it
I make so much money doing roulettes. I've make over 200k between that and MSQ.
Everyone starts off small
Have you heard of COFFEE BISCUITS?
I'm barely at 1.5 mill
Leveling crafters isn't "I'm gonna spam this button and win big money"
Also, if you want the gillionaire shit, you get all crafters or you get none.
Single crafters don't pay that well
To be mega rich, you need to be making high end gear on raid releases
You make 7 figures, per gear
But that's a extremely competitive market
And you actually need to get there first...
By... Leveling crafters and gatherer
Easiest way to level crafters and gatherers - firmament
You can knock them all out in a week if you got enough gil
Yeah, but that will not teach you how to craft
And beast tribes, GC turn in
If not, it'll take you a while more
but yeah
it's a learning curve
All the gillionaires didn't click 1 button and suddenly max lvl with big wallets (unless you use a macro i guess)
It's fucking dumb is what it is
People make millions by doing nothing they're just sitting there clicking a button waiting for a timer to run out
can we ask for duty finder help here or is it not allowed?

fk off Lynn
Just want for the game to match make you
If you are queueing for ex trials, savage raid, or coil of Bahamut, I'd suggest forming your own party with party finder
Look
People put in effort/gil to get to where they are
Whether that's making your own gear as you level or just buying it off the market board
You don't get rich without either
You want easy money, craft silver like a mad man
You want A LOT of money, put in the required effort to be able to make end-game crafts
And there's no need to be aggressive.
Instead of going with Duty roulette
Since yesterday my CWL numbers keep resetting itself, is there a way to prevent that? It keeps messing up my hunt macros
Looked it up and it says Alphinaud is 17 years ago. But 5 years then he was 12 years old before the calamity.
So does that mean he wasn't exactly your ally back than in 1.0? Lol XD
No
damn
Only buying Editions
Expansions never give time
Guys which pvp modes can i do in free trial?? I unlocked the wolf den but that ine is not available
None
Oh for real???
Yes cause people were using trial accounts to hack and cheat
Damn itt , okay thank you :D
How do I get to this aether current?
Near the river is a cave that leads inside.
Once you find the entrance it should be fine.
Story even takes you in there

how good or bad is the frontline daily for EXP
Unlimited
is it possible for dismissed squadron members to return?
Yes
i remember dismissing this guy yesterday and hes back
oh
oh
i guess he really likes this crew
are there techniques on getting specific squadron?
i need 4 lalas and 4 hyurs
the cute ones
Hello.
This might sound a bit weird, but what colour goes with toadskin brown?
You'll need to go higher cause you'll get synced and have lower upgrade chance in like the 70s
What’s the best way to do command squadron missions? Like if my squadron members are still level 23-26 can I do a lvl52 dungeon?
What’d be the best role for me like to help carry ? Should I heal dps tank
So which level would i start farming ap?
Just climb when You get synced
Oh nvm I can’t carry they gotta be higher
Yes
Crafting and gathering after lvl 20 is a chore
if i get a booster for a character to lvl 70, is the MSQ over at that point so the grind to lvl 80 is just doing dailys and dungeons?
ok so i can get lvl 70 ninja but ill have to go through all of the game again?
not again, the skip won't touch your story progress
you'll just have to continue where you are right now
well im talking on a brand new one
then yes, gotta play through the story
Hello! I've not played before but I was wondering a little about pvp. I've looked up the different types of pvp you can do, but which ones have a solo queue for ranked versions? Also, what level do I need to be to start any forms of pvp?
is the tales of adventur in the store the story skip?
yup
pvp is entirely optional, there is never a point in the game where you have to do pvp. In fact all of the pvp rewards are purely cosmetic.
As for what types of pvp you can enter solo I don't know, I'm not really one to engage in pvp tbh
however the people in #archived-player-vs-player will surely be able to help you
Does anyone have tips for a playing dps in a dungeon and not get triggered as a tank mean towards other tanks
lol
I'm not sure what you mean 
Like
Depends on where you left off
I main tank. But i really really wanna play dps. But i get so triggered by bad tanks. Who pull 1 group at a time. Or dont take aggro. How can i stop this?
It would be about 100 hours to catch up to that again, so up to you. Though I recommend looking at a story recap if you don't have an idea of what's going on anymore
Politely offer them advice
I remember the gist of things
It's one of those things that will flow back to me when I start again
Turn your brain off and press buttons
Not really something I can offer 😄
just turn of your brain, deal dmg
as per usual in dungeons tbh
Now I just need to resub, they made it relatively awkward for ps
How is ff on playstation cus honestly i feel like every mmo is trash on console
I had a good 200 odd hours
Best controller support in the world
the game is very much designed with controller players in mind
lots of people play with one, there isn't really a downside
Only downside for me is that my PS4 is a jet engine
Many high end raiders even prefer controller
well you can play with a controller on PC too 😛
I’m still getting used to my keybinds on pc
It’s more versatile than console, but console layouts are still great
How many commends I need to unlock mentor roullet?
Need to be a mentor
I made hotbars for bosses, swarms, utility, and universal shit
1.5k for battle mentor
I wonder if I got kicked out of my old guild
1.5k commends, 1k completed duties, lvl 80 on one combat job per role
then go to the smith to become a mentor

Do you see its name next to your username in the overworld?
No BC I haven't resubbed yet
Oof
Just play healer. You’ll get there quickly
Restarting on another server is looking quite tempting
if a unique item drops in game
during duty
and you already have 1, how do you roll fo rthe new one if its stronger?
Or let your party die, use lb3, and reap the rewards lmao
do I have to drop/detele my current one?
I play mostly healers, should I do a lot of raids since 8 players?
Can't roll on it if you already own the unique item
If it's stronger than yoy don't have it already
Otherwise you would be using it
Ideally, raids are quicker than dungeons and assuming you’re a half decent healer, you should get 1-2 per trial
Just remember to dps the boss. Many a healer forgets that they have offensive actions and everyone dies because of it
Consider that more damage you deal, the less you’ll need to heal and the quicker the big bad dies
afternoon guys, im in the firmament, and just realised i have to craft above grade 50 to be able to turn in, is there anything i can do with crafted itmes below 50? or should i just discard the items?
Discard
@faint flare thank you
I’d sell the higher tiered items on the board. Might make some change for ypur shit
Collectibles can't be traded
Oh, those types of items. Yeah discard
Can I disable the reccuring subscription?
Yes..OR just don't set up Recurring
I see
what can I do with fishes from ocean fishing?
How do I know the character level of someone in my FC or friend list. I can only see their job lvl
There is no character level
Mmm
Your level is your job level
Is there something like appear offline or something like that?
I could be level 50 but my job level is 10 or something I guess
But yeah
or an option for people to not see where you are at?
Really?
@leaden ginkgo you do not have a character level as such, all of your jobs (classes) will have their own level when you equip the appropriate weapon.
That was his level on another job
Then he was level 57 in one job, 12 in another
Oh
!whoami
Great
Yes but actually no
Mmm
How far in SHB MSQ do I need to be to unlock SHB job quests?
Job is just the full version of a class
So your jobs level for the arr jobs is the exact same as the class level
SHB Job quests are role quests
oh
Being a lv80 gladiator and a lv80 paladin are the exact same thing, one just has a job stone equipped
how do I unlock role quests then
Tank, Healer, Caster and Physical
So after lv30 and start a job the actual character level doesn't count it's only the job level right
And what is the max job lvl?
!faq rolequests
They should be by the bar on your way to the inn at the crystarium
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
can someone explain why I hear peoiple talk about a bard class but I dont see one in my characters jobs listings?
There is no character level
Archers upgrade
Archer becomes bard
ah ok, can they choose to stay as archer or are they forced to be a bard?
Forced
Basically forced
Archer is inferior
ah ok
do role quests not show up under the MSQ quest tracker?
Archer is trial version of bard
are all class upgrades like that?
Yes
Yes
@leaden ginkgo an archer will have the chance to become a bard at lvl 30.
There's only class upgrades in arr anyways
so will my gladiator upgrade into a another tank class?
Not using your job stone is greifing
Yes, paladin
I've heard something about being able to read bio's from people, how do you do that?
dang
So this means my job level is 15?
ah ok gotcha
yes
thanks for the help
Right click > search info
How do i know if I have a role quest then?
You check at the area you picked it up from
You're a level 15 conjurer rn
They usually are in a chain
Are you in ShB? Have you done 70 job quests?
You start the next one where you ended the last one iirc

!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
like an extra chat channel?

Help.
Whenever I head to character selection, I get a message saying: 'Unable to load character data'
im in ishgard rn but he has 43+'s i need 40/41's
is it possibel to pug low lvl raids like the one for ARR?
or do i need to be part of a FC
Just log in normally
Just means servers are struggling
The different subsections of [insert zone], like the lizard base in southern thanalan
Happens when servers are quite full
I try, but it says I cant log in due to being free trial
say I queue potd as a summoner and picked gladiator, does the exp goes to summoner or gladiator?
Then world's too full
For anima weapon farming will it tell me in chat that I obtained a luminous crystal? Already ran 5 so just wanna know I didn't miss it

All. 300. hours T.T
How do you make a costume emote message ?

/em message
Is there a database resource that shows items with the same model? Like if I find a hat I like, can I find other hats that use the same model shape?
Garlandtools
Found it. Thank you so much. Lifesaver
ive been reading bits and bobs before i start my trial. everything seems to suggest all raids/dungeons can be done by queuing for groups. is that right? and also is loot different when you do stuff in a queue as opposed to making your own group? (like a wow lfr vs wow heroic/mythic)
Hey guys, returning player here trying to upgrade to from trial to shadowbringers but mogstation is having a hissy fit at me, don't suppose anyone who recently did this could help?
Any high end content like extremes, coils or savage you should do with party finder
anyone have any advice i bought Complete edition on MogStation got an error but still got charged for i and didn't receive the game meanwhile i have the bank statement but nothing shows up on my MogStation payment history i sent a ticket but idk if anything is gonna happen
is coils a particular raid?
is it tricky to find groups for things or is it stuff people group for regularly?
hope you got the complete edition and not only shadowbringer
to clarify i purchased the game off of the square site but code keeps bouncing
oh.....
It’s the 8 mans for ARR, they’re difficult
you also need the starter edition since as trial you cant use dlc for a game you dont own yet
use /isearch
Would anyone be able to tell me the current queue for ffxiv since I can't even join it as a free trial
are the first dungeons just insanely easy or is it an issue with downleveling? Ive been in a few early dungeons now and everyone just ignores combat mechanics, the tank pulls multiple groups and we never seem to be in any danger (pretty sure every run had at least 1 "advanced" class although the dungeons are lvl 20-ish). Im afraid I might not learn the game right this way, I probably could have done nothing in all the dungeon visits I had so far and my group wouldve beat it no problem, feels like somethings wrong
They’re easy
so does anyone know if im gonna have to buy the game a second time or are they going to refund it since again i have the statement but its not showing on the payment history tab on MogStation?
anyone remember how many Warrior CD i need to tank Flatten and stack beam on bahamut lv50 minilv no echo
Also because of how stats syncs work, people do peak damage for those levels
contact support
ok, thanks 😄 when do the dungeons become hard enough that wiping is an actual threat?
already sent a ticket but idk if they'll do anything since its still saying on the site to upgrade and that im still on a trial and again there is nothing in my payment history on the site
Sometimes the site brings you to eu/na vice versa
Does Quality matters when crafting for dwarves tribe?
If they want a HQ item
do you mean i bought the game on eu?
so long you can prove that you payed for it all should be ok later, but support is slow atm so it can probably take a while
The game you bought wont show up in history if you use different region
I had that happen to me couple of time
Redirecting me from na to eu
Oh, great, thxs
well either way on the site i hit the transfer to regular service option then i bought the game from there but on the same page it shows nothing for the purchase and the option is still there so that wouldnt really seem to be it to me at least
Oh this is mog station huh
yeah
Sadly i cant help you there. Bought mine from the se official store and use the code
isnt it the same thing or at least close to it?
I cant say i havrnt bought the game directly from mog station
Which HW and SB beast tribes are for crafters and which for gatherers?
From the official store, they give a code that you use in mogstation
And your acc get upgraded
yeah can only wait for the support to answer nothing else you can do atm, so long you can prove that you payed for it its only a question how fast support works
Anyone have macro for Neo-Ishgardian Cap of Maiming (HQ)? Im 2721/2457/601
i really need help with reactivating my account my account got restricted and when i tried to unrestrict my account it says it needed my date of birth which i just put a random one is there anything i can do?
Hi, I'm a free trial player and may want to buy the complete collector's edition on SE's website (since its on sale). If I buy it there, what happens from thereon? Do you get a code that you can redeem somewhere, and your account gets upgraded?
For bards do i dot everything first with caustic and storm after that aoe or just dot the beefiest enemy and start aoe
yeah kinda figured hopefully its soon lol
Thier customer support been good with the time i asked for help
And tmrw monday
Dot mobs as you run
Then quick nook when you stop
https://puu.sh/I2pgA/0ab6071e9f.jpg why does this mob have so much health for a level 50 fate omg
It's a achievement fate
They have much more HP than normal
And double the normal fate time
yes they give a code that you need to activate in your mogstation account but be sure to check your account region so you dont buy it for the wrong region
If I want to try for the Necromancer title, do I have to complete the climb in one sitting or can I stop after any 10th floor to continue later?
ah ok depending on how long the pull
You can pause
if the stage isnt wall to wall pullable just dot first and then aoe?
ah ok thx, can you save the code for lets say a week or so?
Tanks should always be pulling 2 packs minimum
But yoy always dot 3 mobs minimum
so if I buy it now on the store, I get a code, but I can play free trial until I redeem the code (and then it'll upgrade to full game)?
Yes
dont need to use it asap they should not expire iirc
there certain stages where there only 1 pack
do it with both dot i assume?
or just storm bite
Yes, requiremebts are very small to progress
I see so wheres my next stop to grind aetherpools?

What do I need to be able to gather them? What lvl gatherer ? @faint flare
so they dont give a f about who wanna try the game?
Hey, I just read this comment on reddit "My return is set to the Crystarium, my free teleport to Ishgard, and my reduced teleports to Grid/Limsa/Ul'dah, plus Revenant's Toll. If I need to go to the far east, I just teleport to my house in Shiro, then go from there" I get the return and free teleport, but what do they mean by reduced teleports?
Hi guys, just to check on the tales of adventure, did it automatically change to lvl 70 when shadowbringers was released? I'm thinking of buying some for alts, but not sure whether to just wait for endwalker if it updates to lvl 80 on the same day.
They do.
But they prioritize people who paid for the game over people who haven't.
so what do i do with a level 70 piece of gear not that im 80?
What piece of gear is it
hq nightsteel pickaxe
Desynth, glam, GC turn in, vendors
jesusssssssss
So im doing like Anima weapons and i need a lot of poetics to buy umbrite, is there like a faster way to earn them with this quest or is it just the usual long grind
!faq poetics
Just long
guess ill go back to purgatory
auto equip gear for retainers would be nice
around 40 research facility clears, damn
honestly, yeah?
Recommended Gear button for retainers, when
amirite?
is there any site where i can see like how long is the que?
No
Put them in the armoire for glamour?
Theres no space limit there, but only blue and seasonal items
Not everything can go in there
i have tons of blue items
Only seasonal stuff and lv50 job gear
but non cam go in armoire
GC turn in
And some other misc stuff
@grave plover are you at least 2nd sergeant in your GC?
I have to talk to an npc for a beast tribe quest to raise my standing. But i need to speak to the same npc for a daily beast tribe quest. Can I somehow choose which quest i want to continue as to not waste reputation?
Sadly no
too bad..thx though
Then turn in the old gear for seals
the green ones
Green, blue, pink
wish i could sell them for half the gill...
the would crash the whole market excuse lel
except runescape as the market there thrives
Dungeon/Poetics/job gear is free? So half of 0 is 0
Is there any reason why there's so much rush in the servers today?
Also, can I log into another world if mine is full?
how would i best go about making resplendant tool parts? im struggling to get the quality up by any reasonable amount even if i completely forgo progress. am i missing something?
this is with full handsaint gear
You basically need near BiS and need to know how to use the procs effectively
Is there an item that temporarily reduces teleport costs?
I've never had to wait more than a minute or two before making it through the queue.
Im free trial, servers are struggling, my character wont even load
You can buy aetheryte tickets for seals or hunt currency which give you free teleports
Free company can also activate a buff that reduces TP cost by 30%
Can I switch to another world?
I don't think that's related. My kids play on the free trial and no problems, primal world.
jut a bit of server overload
you should be able to log in, provided the queue isn't too big
thats what led me to buy the game lol
@regal pawn Thank you, i thought i read something about them but i wasnt sure

Question, what's the difference between the world being full and regular queues?
Ive had queues pf upto 100 people, but never got a 'World Full' message before.
I think I'm going to make a character on another server, which one do you reccomend?
World Full is for free trial
It means the queue is too large
Sqenix temporarily locks off queues at a certain threshold for free trial people so that paid players can get in
Ah, I see. Thank you.
i follow the guide and this is as far as i get. even accounting for bad rng that does not seem acceptable
