@olive bay go to borderless window
You only need to be on the same Data Centre to do content with friends.
Generally for "Savage tier" content people will indeed join a "static", just a group of 8 that go every week (Free Companies are our guilds and can either be related or unrelated to hardest content, either way. Not like WoW where your guild matters).
You can do Savage in random Party Finders of course freely, it just may be a little harder / take a little longer. The tier below that, "Extreme Trials", are actually a bit easier to do in Party Finder, a static helps for those but you dont need to think about getting one if you want to attempt it.
@dull valleythat was it i sghould have thought of that thanks, though kinda unusual i don't recall other games i played on full screen having this prob
ohh okay, so then the clan/companies arent really a must to do anything special? gotta say its hard to be a new player and know nothing about the game
90% of the time borderless windowed mode is the best option
But if i dont use glamour plates it should be not an issue right?
where can we report someone for harassement
Yeah sorry just edited the first post to clarify, but indeed FFXIV Free Companies go either way. Can be totally unrelated to raiding because MANY Free Companies are just for social aspect. In game housing, FC Buffs, chat channel, stuff like that. You dont need an FC but it sure helps to have one anyways.
i think you can do it on the website
If you dye the item inside of the dresser, it will be that colour when you put it on the plate and apply the plate to your gear. You can always dye the plate itself if you wanna change it from the colour you originally dyed it. Generally recommended to dye the item itself if you're using expensive dyes (i.e jet black/pure white). @sullen zephyr
iirc
Main Menu > Support Desk
or that
can I make every job class lvl 80?
How do you obtain Nightmare Mount. Is it just a impossible low Drop rate from the original 3?
Every single one (Except Blue Mage, level 70 cap)
Yeppers
ye, low drop rate from titan/garuda/ifrit ex
ah I see gotcha
Is the cap going up in Endwalker?
Yes
Thank you sir
Cap always goes up by 10
ohh nice, so then its not really a must to be on the same server with the ones ill mostly play with i guess. they play on odin which is locked rn and i kinda like the phoenix name more. but still think it would "suck" to not be on the same one
Hmmm. Then Ifrit would be the fastest to complete if i was to Run a Nightmare hunt
Garuda
Garuda is a timing hoe
Ifrit and Titan have more invincible phases
You can just bum rush ruda out the gate
Id need a pretty DPS heavy team for that
ifrit can also go fairly quickly but you have to deal with the final set of nails
i think garuda takes me like 30s? or something most days
It is nicer to be on the same server as friends yeah, but theres ways around it.
Cross-world Parties let you group up across servers, Cross-world Linkshells let you chat across servers, and you can always World Visit Odin and walk around there anytime (Just cant chat to your own guild or use your retainers while over there). Up to you if you wanna home world transfer for the $18 USD
on my shitty pld that i cant play well
so long as you've got atleast 1 80
garuda should die very quickly
can i still trade with them?
i read that i could only transfer to lower pop servers, but if thats wrong then it wouldnt matter if i can pick any later to transfer to if needed
What channel would i use to meet people to play? Just started and am leveling drk. Just want people to tag along and talk to
is this normal til i get 50 ger?
i cant get more than 240
I can usually get a team to defeat him in 30 seconds+ after his first ULT
ey guys!
i have a little problem
maybe some of you can help me!
its been a long time without playing, i came back 2 weeks ago, and i didnt remember my password in that moment. Somehow i then writted the good one in the launcher and it always remember the password
but now i have to go to the mogstation to pay my bill
and i again dont remember it..
Not having HQ gear is the problem
i was wondering, since the launcher did save my password, could i access to that data saved?
but ive go the uhm stats my guide suggests @boreal storm
my guide suggests Craftsmanship: 202, Control: 213, CP: 287
the launcher doesn't save your password by default, unless I'm mistaken
thanks ! i reported him , he was an experienced player insulting me because i did'nt knew a new dungeon and i wanted to discover it myself
im using an alternate launcher
Why? Surpass them
instead of looking to a youtube video
do HQ fish give more exp?
Ive managed to access. A FC with a Stable. How does thou start the proceeding to upgrade my chocobo? Do i just go to the Shroud and meet the NPC?
weird idea, can you just... copy the password field
i tried... it doesn't give the option to copy 😦
but it must be saved in my PC since, i can access to that data from the launcher even being disconnect to the wifi
Guys i want to dye a gear piece I have now with jet black dye i bought from the store but it’s not the best gear piece i have so how am i supposed to keep the color when i upgrade my gear, i don’t want to lose the dye i spent real money on
Glam
How
@modest drift contact support and get them to reset your password
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
is this still accurate? (is in pinned) :
. If you started on a new server (not preferred), don't be on the trial when you hit level 30, or you lose out on 1 mil gil bonus.
in that case, Laserz is right, as theres nothing you can do at this stage other than reset it.
T.T
Yea i know what glam is, so i store the dyed gear in the glamour dresser and it will be saved as that color?
Yeah
i could remember it, i have alot of variants of my password, but it bans you for 30-40 mins every 3 wrong trys
Does anyone know how to get your alchemist tool back if you sold it accidentally?
Sorry - I think you can still trade yeah. You might have old information about transfers, you cant transfer to a Congested server but we dont have those at the moment (strangely enough) so a transfer should work if you decide to do one.
Buyback
You can "buyback" something you sold to an NPC by accident, as long as you havent left the zone yuet.
Well what if I left the zone
Buy a new one
Do you buy it from the same person?
No from the regular vendor that sells it
!weekly
So what city you in
Yoyobasa is the npc
I unlocked PotD on my palidan, if I start a new job can I do PotD right away on them?
If you have an open save
||Ala migho endboss drops a ochestrion roll and a mount, are both 100% drops?||
How is exp for calculating "Discovering a new location" determined?
Like for instance, with my Arcanist if I discover a new location in Coerthas I get 11,000 exp. But if I switch over to my very low level Rogue and Discover a new location in the same area, would it also be 11k or considerably less?
It’s like 10% of a level up
yes but we don't have any new worlds for ages last new worlds were like 2 years ago
hey can I still do ishgard restauration on free trial ?
doing it without a market board is kinda painful..
yes it's permanent content, no plan to remove it is known
nope
Please dont tell me a super rare mount dropped
And i didnt get it
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh
Am i allowed to ask of Kupo Bot stuff here?
#kupo-bot-spam
kupo stuff should be in #discord-feedback
iirc it also has its own server for help
oh wait, i can help you actually
im at mog station and it doesnt let me pre order endwalker
Hi guys, can i craft with materials that are in my retainer bank/chocobo bank ?
Well
Is there a way to remove a character
From a Discord account that i cannot access?
ohh okay thanks, good to know i wont be stuck on one if i end up liking another one more in the future then (and not having to redo everything)
hopefully the server i mainly want to pick opens soon as waiting is boring. thought it would be already as its midnight here
It is possible to change your Free Company name?
oh hmmm...probably wanna throw that in #discord-feedback then ye
since i think only eanae/whale could help with that
have to have the items in your inventory
which chat do I write in, if I need players to raid with
yes, talk to the OIC admin of the gc your FC is associated with
how do you gather types here decide which materials to sell and which ones to keep for yourself?
and what about you crafter types here, how do you decide which end product to craft to sell for money?
for those here who do both, same questions.
and another question: at what point will it become better to just craft my gather/crafter gear myself, rather than buying pieces from an NPC/mb? are there any untradeable pieces you can only make yourself?
Will people get mad at me for not wall2walling
as long as youre not pulling single packs, probably not
Oki
yo guys when should i upgrade from free trial?
is it better to buy the game now that it's so cheap? or should I wait for endwalker complete edition to be on sale?
So what does Aetherpact exactly do when you are still in Stormblood? Just heal the target to full as long as there is fairy gauge?

I say yes.
It's up to you. I don't know what is considered worth it it to you. =/
I just look at MB prices.
ah, thanks for answering
how do these spezial missions in the gold saucer reset?
is ther like 1 every full hour?
im only level 32 now, so i was wondering if i should stay on free trial until 50 or something and then upgrade
I have a noob question. Is it better to have rarer armor/weapons than common weapons if they are weaker? (example: white/common weapon with a damage of 76 vs a blue/rare weapon with a damage of 60. Item level, bonus stats, materia slots and what not are all better on the common weapon as well.
I'm essentially trying to figure out what makes a weapon or armor better than the others in terms of rarity... besides the fact that they are more rare.
Hit 60, see if you like it.
whats the discord for crystal datacenter hunt trains?
damn, is level 60 a big cut off point for new players? or i suppose a filter?
ALso for Fashioni Report
At most, once you get the 100 once, there's no reason to get it again, ya?
cos ive been really enjoying the game so far
Im looking for a weapon that I don't know the name of, it's that blue/white ish paladin sword that the paladin that left the sultanate had, from the paladin jobquest story
im not having much luck finding sesame in diadem :/
+same here, just did that quest recently, the sword looks sick
ikr im not even main paladin but that is something i really need lol
when can i start getting the ultimate weapons?
You'll stop gaining exp after 60
If you keep going after 60 you leave a ton of exp on the table.
Trial players can’t go past 60
mhm, i understand
Technically; at level 70. realistically; not til endgame
ill probably go for another few days, get a bit deeper into the game and then see. im probably buying it though, the experience so far has been amazing
so towards the end of shadowbringers?
If by ultimate weapons, you mean weapons from ultimates. Then not realistically until you're done the story
If by the best weapon in the game currently, you need to have finished msq to 5.4 and do a fuck ton of side content
yeah these
right so towards the end of shadowbringers right? say less
They're side content
Do you guys play with allies animations on? I just had my second 8 man duty im now im blind
i've set a goal to get them before endlwaker
Might as well pay someone to-, no don’t that never
post-shb entirely
You realistically can't get them til you're done the entire post shb
Get whatever has the highest item level.
But its pretty, so idk if i turn it off or nah
After that you'll need to clear E4S, O4S or O8s to unlock an ultimate
gotcha
Thanks!!
After that you'll need a full set of bis gear and a static. And most statics won't let you in for ultimates without having cleared a savage tier
Which in this case would be e9-12S
I'm just looking for some help from someone willing to take 5-10 minutes to answer some inventory questions and help me sort through the stuff I have, as I return to the game. I'm not sure what is safe to get rid of or not.
And if you've 0 High End Raiding experience, it's legitimately possible to not even get to attempt an ultimate before endwalker
Do you have crafters, are you going to use the mat with said crafter? If the answer to those questions is no, sell or trash
Guys how can i register for the chocobo racing??
Is [insert role] gear underleveled and not going to be used
when should you replace old squadron members with new recruits? not exactly sure what i'm looking for when i could just switch the class, are some recruits just straight up better than others stat wise?
I do plan on crafting as it really interests me. One of my banks is full of like swimwear from some event 5 years ago, it also has a bunch of gems and color dyes? And my armoury chest has a bunch of gear in it, but do I need to keep it for the day I level up other classes?
Their stats are entirely dependent on their class and level
Yep, or if they’re a different class you want
can't you just change classes with the book thing though
I have my squadron set up to be all lalafells
i see i see
They lose a lvl if you do that
oh do they? haven't tried it yet
where and who do i buy the unidentifiable materials for anima weapon using poetics?
i mean new recruits are a level down too right? so i guess it's the same overall. i'll just choose based on appearances then, thanks
Mor Dhona and Idyllshire poetics vendors
In the special arms category
ah thank you
did alphinaud va change heavensward-stormblood?
Yes
All elezen here. ^_^
Just ARR-HW
he sounds so different now wtf
Guys how can i register for the chocobo racing pls??
Can someone tell me if I am still able to get the pre order things from the endwalker expansion if I have the complete edition already? It says it requires a starter edition.
Complete edition is fine too
Complete = starter + dlc
His VA did change going in to HW and beyond but in the more recent expansions I definitely think the VA improved his performance.
Thanks 🙂
i think he sounded really good in hw but now in stormblood kinda meh, maybe its just the start/this quest though
I'm level 60 in my DoW job and finished the 51-60 campaign, now getting my DoH to 60 as well, I suppose crafting lvl 60 armor isn't necessary for storm blood, right?
if youre talking about dow armor just buy the poetics gear
is there a way to get all 4 if i pick the boots for example?
you need some good gear for dol for sure and crafters probably to
you dont necessarily need to craft it, you can buy it off mb if not free trial or get to stormblood city and buy vendor gear
are you supposed to do DOL/DOH job quests as you unlock them? Someone told me it's a slow way to level up
Right now I'm in full HQ gear that can be crafted before buying the 3 stars recipe
you mostly just get some gear and xp from dol and doh quests, i know lv 65 doh quest is pretty mandatory for a skill it gives
can someone answer my question please. 🙂
what quest is that
What is the ifrit weapon?
When you have to craft a HQ tool and the quest reward is the same tool in NQ...
Onions of Life Bestowing @hidden cypress
theyre note exclusive to the quest or anything but might not get them from another quest either, just craft/buy them
Is there extreme or savage dungeons? Or is that only for trials
Hello guys, if one does a dungeon with only tank guys, will the we get only tank gears in roulette ?
will we*
thats literally what i was asking if i could buy them from some where >.<
Do any of y'all have any idea how to redownload files like ffxiv_dx11.exe?
are there any drastic landscape or scenery changes as you progress through the expansions?
yes
Ok so, let's say I want to craft the 3 star recipe DoH Armour by myself... How da heck do demimateria 3 and aetherial réduction work ? Can't seem to find demimateria 3 yet and I can't seem to aether reduction any of my collectibles
oh cool, like gridania looks different later on?
That’s craftable gear
oh not like that
ah
New zones that look different
for aetherial reduction you need to do "No longer a collectable" in mor dhona
Did that yeah
Tried both actualy, went and gathered a couple collectables, didn't work. Crafted a collectible, didn't work either
you need to get stuff from ephemeral nodes i thik
Aetherial reduction is only on specific gathering collectibles
As if it wasn't complex enough already ><
And if its field raft demi materia 3 that can be bough with crafter scrips
So ephemeral nodes are for reduction? Ok
where can i search for FCs?
!faq communityfinder
for demimateria you can also desynth specific items for a chance
200scrips per demi3 is a bit much though, can I not desynth stuff for those?
Like can I desynth stuff I craft for that specifically?
can i use a fantasia just to see the creation menu and change my mind if i dont want to make any changes ?
well heres a huge list of all the items that can give it https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Desynth_resulting_in_Fieldcraft_Demimateria_III
Just create a new character to mess with the options?
I mean I can get scrips like candy as a master cul 
Yes
Sooooo much fucking stuff. Also rng
i wanted to see the menu with my characters gear and the model viewers not great
Oh wow thanks a lot, exactly what I needed
Gear, no. Have to be nakey for fantasua
Do any of y'all have any idea how to redownload files like ffxiv_dx11.exe?
628 different items
looking at some of the stuff, carbuncle house slippers and exrtra stuffed carbuncle are like 10 gil each at least on my data center (chaos)
All file downloads are handled by the launcher
Really? I deleted some of the files accidentally and redownloading ffxiv doesn't change anything
whats the best way to lvl up a botanist after lvl55 asking as im not getting much xp in the diadem anymore
Yeah I'll find easy stuff to desynth and grab what I need for new armor :)
Gather higher level stuff in the diadem then
Also do your job quests
Gatherer leves
i only get the option to mine 1 thing from diadem at 55 @warm snow and ive done my job quests
Another thing I don't really understand, what does it do to specialize in a DoH? I don't understand the skill it gives you
crafting=money
Can I just skip these credits already.... It's like the 3rd time
cant you just hit esc
Do I not potentially miss out on a cutscene?
k thanks
I skipped the full on credits today and got the next cutscene
At the end of HW
Are DoH specialization just for the endgame recipes?
Does anyone know how the ffxiv download works on mac? I accidentally deleted some crucial files and have no idea how to get them back
Specialists have some primal weapons that only they can make
Pretty much, yes,
They eventually drop the requirement.
They’re also a stat boost so still useful to have
179 votes and 33 comments so far on Reddit
They drop the requirements when they release new gear that is locked behind it, right? So until I hit max level it's not important?
do i need to do the arr relic weapon quest to do stormbloods or shadowbringers?
Buying mats to level all your DoH in HW is a good way to spend all your gils :/
Can’t mb as a trial
Can anyone tell me what emote is this?
Is there any more flexes then the original one?
How does one go about farming ressources that only spawn at a specific eorzean time? How do you manage to get a lot of those? :/
!action bountiful harvest ii
That a Male Highlander specific /flex
Otherwise, theres a manderville kinda sorta flex that everyone can get but no, no other /flex
Hey all I reached palace of the dead floor 101 today with a fixed party. I had to go do something but I cant find their party anymore. If I disband the party in my save can I continue floor 101 with a different party
Oh i see, its race specific! No wonder my lalafell doesnt flex like that xD thankies!
So lesse if people know:
Aside MSQ, Blue Mage, Ishgard and Bozjan, what other content did they add?
Oh and aside Nier and Weapons
Im trying to figure out like, the minor content stuff that got added in
You talking content added in the course of Shadowbringers, specifically?
Between 5.3 and now
Makes sense lol thanks :)
I left pre Bozjan addition
Like i recall hearing of something called Void Quests, and i dunno if there's more stuff like that
so waht is the point of the disciples of hand/land? What do you unlock through them?
Is the wanderer’s palace the only place you can get the bloody lance heade other than the market board?
yes
Thanks
Can anyone help me with a issue with mac?
Usually use bountiful harvest, blessed harvest, ageless words, brunt force (for guaranteed hq)

im doing the eureka stuff right now, is there benefit for being in a group like an exp boost? it seems like every party i join, everyone kind of just does their own thing until an nm pops up
I deleted the ffxiv_dx11.exe file and don't know how to get it back
hey so im playing the trial now, but ive seen people saying you have to press 'no' on this screen. Why is that?
You can save the appearance you made for later
for another character or your banker (i forgot the name of it)
retainers
^^ That
okay so i press no?
Why people telling you to press no? Who did?
Just save it
Theres a few points, they are just side content in this game but its really up to what you want to get out of them.
Craft your own gear, repair your own gear or meld your own materia, use them as a gil maker if you want lots of profits.
Ishgard Restoration, Collectables, theres tons of DoH/L content to unlock but its all specific to them - Combat and Professions are like two seperate worlds. You might have to be more specific if theres something deeper you wanna know, but just remember they're optional and they reward you for the effort you put in. Some people craft 8 hours a day, some people never unlock a single profession in their life - and anything in between is A-OK
maybe you'll want to use it again later
I've watched 2 beginner guides where both said to press no without further explanation
Okay
Hi, i just did stormblood (quest), where is the sundry splendors guy in rahlgrs reach?
They're in Kugane
You've got like 10 slots to save character appearances in
Save it if you feel like you want to save the appearance and if you spent a long time on character creation like me
The regular vendors are on the right side of rhalgr's though
@knotty lily thank you! honestly not sure what I want with them, I'm new and just got a paladin and was just curious what that kinda content was about
I thought poetics seller is in rhalgrs reach
Rhalgrs Reach poetic people have different name, you'll find them here
thanks
There are on the right side. The Sundry Splendors specifically is in Kugane
Slaves
Ok but do they both offer the same shit?
@knotty lily Is there a specific one that focuses on cool armor and fun armor sets? I love transmogging my little potato paladin
Ah it's the same thing with ishgard and idyllshire then
yep
And mor Dhona and the starting cities
IL 400 HERE I COME
Sundry splendors are just QoL npcs to have poetic gear in one convenient npc
And scrip
They do scrip too? Nice
Generally Armorer and Blacksmith are the ones for tank weapon and gear, but you should know that if you plan to craft - professions arent "Self-sufficient".
If you level Armorer but you dont level Leatherworker, Miner, Alchemist, Blacksmith, Golsmith... etc. etc., at around level 30/40 you'll be saying "I'm missing the Leather, Glue, Ore and Gems I need to make XXXX Armor... what do I do?" And you'll either have to buy the materials from the marketboard with your own gil (if not on free trial), or you'll have to bite the bullet and level all the rest of your crafters and gatherers.
But in no way does this mean you NEED to level them all, its just something to consider if you want to get into it more heavily to make the cool stuff at level 50 and above!
Anything you can craft yourself for transmog, you can buy on the Market Board so dont worry about having to level something just for glamour, you can always buy something you like too!
in the slice is right minigame
how are you supposed too click the gold piles? i only was able too click players
Crafting is fun for some people as well, if you like it then it's worth doing just for that reason alone 🙃
Is the square enix store checkout not working or is it just me?

I just keep getting this after I put in my checkout info

if you haven't, just use the gear from your job quests
Can't click anything
Try refresh?

Hey! I'm sorta new to ff14 (lvl 48) and am very new to MMORPGs in general. Was wondering if someone would be willing to hop into a vc and explain some basic mechanics and other useful info to me. (p.s. I can be pretty dense so I'm sorry in advance)
mmm ill try my phone
Do the hunts from hunt trails count towards the mounts? For killing like 3k S ranks and 5k A ranks
Weapons are given by the job quest until certain level, then you can get good equipments by trading your poetics (from doing dungeon roulettes) to certain vendors in certain places. As for fashion you can get good looking items from dungeon, or market board if you don't wanna be bothered with crafting/gathering classes
Thank you
on phone but also, the whole purpose of this channel is to ask potentially stupid questions, so don't stint
I can't seem to find how to unlock the beast tribe quest for the ixal, the pnj supposed to give the quest to me 'scarlet in gridania' has instead the quest "let the hunt begin" locked and nothing else
Have you done lvl 41 msq

Where can I find static Group?
Does the storyline of Tam-Tara Deepcroft (Hard) continue?
yes, it wraps up in palace of the dead
Ah, thank you! I definitely have to check that out
what do i equip to switch to carpenter:?
Yes i did
Anyone had this issue, when trying to buy Endwalker collectors digital edition that it bugs out keeps saying internal error and wont let you buy it?
Equip the saw given
So if I have previously owned and played the game (only to level 30 or so), can I still play the "trial" all the way up to 60? or is it only for completely fresh accounts?
No
Ah rip 😦
Owning the game means you'll never be trial again
how can i go there
Gotta go around
Do story to get past the checkpoint area
You'll be close to that area for the story
i've done the story
Then gotta go around

I am on my alt level 54 white mage, attempting to unlock duty roulette for trials. It says I need item level 90* average to enter. I am currently around item level 54*. How do I get to 90 at this level? Is there a poetic set or something I can purchase?
yes, ironworks
they're all ilvl 120 so that should be enough
should clarify its *augmented ironworks
So, are there any good ways of getting money in the early game?
Like, pre level 30
none at that level
Checking the wiki it doesn't list a poetics vendor in ishgard? does that sound right
you shouldn't be strapped for cash at that point though
mmkay. I appreciate it.
there's one after you finish Heavensward(MSQ)
There's another one in Idyllshire which is accessible before then
/e for echo messages
If you mean the status buff it should be something like this
For the step of the resistance weapon quest where you have to farm Stormblood FATEs to get 18 of two different types of memories, is the drop from the FATEs not guaranteed or did they change that?
Oof, what are the odds like?
/statusoff “The Echo”
Much prefer to farm FATEs than alliance raids tbh
they also buffed the raid drop to 3 each ( still sucks compared to fates )
I heard people say like 50% on the upper end of their luck
that sounds right tbh
Gotcha, thanks
The 45 day timer for housing resets when I enter the house, right?
Cheers
hi everyone, quick question. are summoners forced to stand still while casting the same way black mages are?
yes and no
You can slidecast(tm)
smn has a MUCH larger selection of instants than blm
more like half their kit, tbh
arguably the most mobile caster
dnc is phys ranged, similar to BRD
DNC is dancer?
The tombstones that you get from the last two dungeons in arr, you can only use them to get arr gear correct?
Red Mage is a caster whose whole mechanic is that every other spell you cast is instant
you can use them until lvl 70
Red Mage isn’t as mobile as it seems, since it needs to fully cast a spell to get the dual cast
And in endwalker, you'll most likely be able to use it for 80 gear
So for extended movement scenarios it suffers
Yeah
Or it has to spend their mana on Reprise which delays their Manafication/melee combo
Funnily enough
BLM is more mobile than RDM
So hw is 50-60 and shadow bringer is 60-70 so my tombstone will be good for those expansions?
RDM is red mage?
Ok
RDM is red mage, yes
Every class/job has a 3 letter abbreviation correct
and endwalker will be 80-90 
with lvl 80 poetics gear
Oh okay thanks, and I get the tombstones from dungeons, and trials correct on normal or hard?
I removed my 2nd skill from my toolbar on accident, how do i get it back? 😅
Actions and traits menu
"p" on your keyboard
thanks ❤️
There's only two types of tombstones then? Poetics and the one for 70-80 gear?
is pugilist -> ninja?
Poetics for 50/60/70, and Allegory/Revelation for 80 gear
no, pugilist > monk
Ok ty
handy chart
ty
keep in mind that's supposed to say "can't start as a rogue"
The earliest you can get Rogue is if you start in limsa
lvl 10 of any of the Limsa starter jobs and then go grab it after finishing your class quest
Other jobs, you need lvl 15 as Limsa is locked off until then
right
im still trying to find the class i want to play with. considering: gladiator, ninja, arcanist or pugilist rn
You need to finish it first, or proceed with the msq to unlock
do Atmas for the Zodiac weapons still need to be farmed with a Zenith weapon equipped? done it before but can't remember for shit.
The Endwalker give you access to all the previous expansion if i'm not mistaken, and there are discount too sometimes
Pre-ordered Endwalker and got the earrings. Can I transfer it to another character, same account?
once i glamour an item is it possible to undo it and put it onto something else later on?
or is it permanent
Does anyone have any time recommendations when servers are least populated? BF is trying to make a character on Goblin but it's full right now. Trying to figure out when would be a good time to try again.
glamouring doesn't use up the item
All characters get it
so that means i can use it on multiple items right?
Glam dispeller
You can use it on as many items as you like.
Ooh so if I create a new char… I’ll have it as well?
ok ty
Yep
aiiight thank youuu
Yes. It is advisable however to use t he Glamour Dresser while creating glamours
are monks strong? they look really fun
As you can place an item in the glamour dresser for a small price of a million dollars 1 glamour prism and use it as many times as you want
I am done with msq
how do i get rid of sqares in my hotbars
Well every class is strong
Dawn, midnight, early morning
Character Configuration > Hud > Show unassigned slots
and how do i get the glamour dresser
At an Inn in any of the major cities
The bed icon
Thank you.
what city does monk start in?
is there one in limsa
i cant find any bed icon
oh nvm its in ul'dah
Isn't it up by the sprout gy somewehre?
you can send squadron missions without the 1/1/2 tank/healer/dps formation??
It might be on the upper levels
I just found out about this
Yes
I thought you had to send them with the proper formation
can any one help a new players with coil of bahamut Final raids. doing before moving on to expansion. dont know if a lv80 can solo it

What is the best grand company?
no wonder I was having so much trouble completing missions
Whatever you like the looks of their gear of the most
all based on opinion. Really no perks to one or the other.
How do I see the gears?
!faq grandcompany
Oh nvm
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.
It’s in JP, but has most of the gear
Maelstrom = Red/black
Adders = Yellow/brown
Flames = Brown/blue-ish
yes i found it ty
Try to look at you beast tribe quest log? Maybe you already took it half way?
Is this the final price of relocation?
yes
yes
Alright cheers
Already went to check at an inn in the quest log there and its not showing in the ixal tribe part

If I move house, do all my housing items get put into the storage?
Yes
Tyty
And storage will temporarily expand if needed to fit everything
is all aether current on surface ? or there's some underwater
iirc they can be underwater
I wanna say Shirogane and Mists are the 2 most popular ones
Do I have to buy a permit again if I relocate?
oh nvm i have actually done it but then something weird is that i don't seem to be able to see the daily beast tribe quest giver in the north shroud tho
Is there any way to find people who will use your RAF code besides the subreddit?
Yes
where do I get level 60 - 70 DoL gear?
super specific but anyone know what class this is 👀
Monk
How to increase? I got only 3 crafter soul crystal...can I make for all crafter and if I can, there is not slot for it...can I increase soul crystal?
you can only have 3 crafting souls at once
Anyone know how to expand your Squadron size?
so what people use to have them?
Talk to Khloe and some of her options are trading silver/gold etc. certificates for rewards. Gear, etc
I don't think I understand the question...
I mean you said 3 crafting souls...so there is 8 craft so what craft soul people usually have?
Well
it depends on what they're crafting
aight thx
hmm
do squadron and revised crafting/gathering manuals stack?
For normal gear - Rhalgrs Reach, or craft yourself (or buy from Marketboard). Hopefully isnt too expensive
Otherwise, theres level 60 gear in Idylshire you can trade for Scrips (same for 70, 80)
Is it a bad idea to buy a skip through ARR?
yes
So, what are levemetes? I've been kinda avoiding those.
Absolutely, just because there’s so many references towards events that happened in it later on. You wouldn’t appreciate the future expansions without it.
Kinda like repeatable quests. You can use them to level alt jobs if you’re out of roulettes for the day, but most people use them to level crafters/gatherers since they’re great to spam.
Can you do regular quests with crafters/gatherers?
yea, while the story isn't outstanding by FFXIV standards it introduces a lot of the core elements to the expansion stories
if you playing the expansions without ARR you're not really gonna understand who characters are and what they're doing
No, for most quests you need a combat job
im stuck in a queue Y_Y is there a way for me to hop into another server?

Ah, so are guildleves like the only way to level DoH and DoL jobs?
I thought you can already pick a server to login? But not quite sure how it works
@rocky marlin
-
If you buy a story skip you pretty much need to buy a level skip as well.
-
Level skip is to 70, so youll be missing out on all the class quests which not only have good story, but teach you how to play your class.
-
Missing out on the story is like missing 65%+ of the fun you will get from the game.
-
You will have to go around and do a whole bunch of unlocking that would have been more convenient while you were doing the MSQ unlocks.
nope, you've got the ishgard restoration (assuming you've completed the lvl 60 main scenario quest "litany of peace"), collectables (unlocked at 50), ocean fishing (for fisher), custom deliveries (weekly, and first one is unlockable at 60)
Any current preferred worlds?
only on JP datacenters
anyone know the best way to grind mahatma?
how do i sell Allagan bronze piece
so im buying lv50 blue gear from Mor Dhona, any reason to buy "Gerolt Masterworks" over Ironworks Gear other than the skins? because I see that Ironworks have better stats for the same price
only for glamour
Not really the only way, from submitting item to GC, or submitting items to certain vendors
hey, i need help understanding what went wrong: was in bozja and asked for a rez. i was dead there for about 9 minutes, then the "No Camping Allowed" (the fate with Dyunbyu) popped. it looked like a healer came, but then they got killed by the mobs. they died and immediately rezzed at the same time my 10 minute timer ended and i was sent back to Utya's aegis. they sent a /tell saying "don't ever do that again" and other rude harassing stuff. i just died and asked for help. if anyone can tell me what i should do, lmk
i think they assumed you released
rather than the timer simply running out
but doesn't really justify being rude to you
oh my gosh i didn't even think of that possibility
yeah i'll avoid that from happening if i can
while losing mettle isn't a huge deal in bozja/zadnor
its ok to continue asking for a raise if possible
but i would say if after like 5mins no one shows/answers in shout they're on their way, may as well release
yeah that's a good suggestion, i'll release after 5 mins have passed
good evening everyone 🙂 quick probably silly question. is solo'ing old raids a thing? converted wow player here and i know i used to go do the old raids for mounts etc.
anyone know peak hours for brynhildr
not quite to the extent of wow. you can solo some of the old extremes/raids, but there are plenty of them that either can't be solo'd period due to mechanics or can only be solo'd by certain jobs
like you're pretty much not going to be able to solo the lvl 70 savage raids unsync
but most of the 50, and some of the 60 stuff is soloable
good to know.
oh i was just thinking about doing some of.. yeah the 50 and 60 stuff
do i need to go to the location of it to get in?
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.
just simply turn on the undersized option and then queue up like you normally would
many thanks!!
Whats the fastest way to obtain Poetics besides Duty Roulette?
ARF gives 150 a run
Am upto HW atm
What about Prae? Or Castrum? Or do they require to watch the dam cutscenes
Unskippable
.. hang
Everywhere I look people recommend potd as a way to level, but how do you actually get exp from this thing?
Beat a set of floors
I heard that
after you complete a set of 10 floors, you get exp for your job outside of potd
How much exp?
So if a level 1 Pugilist enter? Wait do you still gain the skills?
Potd levels ≠ your real level
Question but if I wanted to level reaper and use it as my main job for EW MSQ How would I actually do it? This would be the first time I’m actually around for an expansion launch so I don’t know what to do
Btw what are the requirements to become a mentor?
The same way other jobs hit 80 from 70
Seems cool but I’m totally lost on. It
get to 71 with roulettes/wondrous tails prepped, and then either do dungeons (either player ran/trusts) or bozja
until 80 then do msq
You’ll also have 100% armoury bonus then
Will the base set carry me or?
Reaper shares gear with drg
and grab a sceavan for 70
the initial gear is gonna be ok
but scaevan will be better
cap on tomes got it
plus you'll most likely need accessories anyway
Also on patch day you'll be able to buy the best gear using normal poetics, no?
What?????
cryptlurker will be converted to poetics yes
oh shit
but like if you're not using revelations now
you may as well go ahead and use it now
That clears things up
How do I get to 51-60 on the potd? Do I actually have to get to floor 51 to be able to play on it?
Cryptlurkers with tomes on launch
And level through roulettes/ bozja or dungeons
Seems easy enough
Got it
wait you unlock alexander in heavensward?
is it possible to macro feather rain for blue mage

Was that an answer to my question? Cause if so it all makes no sense.
Since reaper shares gear with drg, you can start prepping cryplurker gears now
Ah
Reaper is gonna share gear with Drg?
oh god
Yes you do need to complete previous floors
You need just to beat floor 1 to 50 to access floor 51-60
um is there something going on today? Im logging into gilgamesh and I see a queue of 284 
But I could probably also just buy it with poetics
Now would be easier though
I’m worried though
Since poetics caps at 2000, you wouldn't be able to buy all pieces in one day
God nvm, I'll just wait like 7 weeks and play daily roulette, played one run of 1 - 10 and I couldn't stand how I just got blasted by rng through dumbass traps.
Got it
Will people actually be queuing for duties on launch or will it be empty on launch
Depends on how many want to level up the new jobs
So no roulette grinding on dps on launch day
I have trust but those take so damn long
@finite cedar also ignore belts
what's a good way to get a fishing set? i think i currently just have random pieces from the fishing questline
I am trying to return to the game
Of course
but I need some motivation, anyone got any good vibes?
Also trust is better for dps jobs
Anyway....
How do I get mentor and what are the requirements/steps?
whats the symbol?
Duty queue
Ohh ok
Alliance raids?
Allied Beast Tribes
There are
also another one
Whar they start?
The quitari I think is what they’re called
Why do I have this green aura on me?
Not Beast Tribes
I mean "All beast Tribes Rep is maxed" Allied series
I'm not sure what skill give me this
Buffs
There is no allied beast tribe for shb
Yeah but I have no buffs on me
I see, the 10 rage?
Yeah, it seems like as long as I have like.. 10 rage meter, I have this effect
weird
Yeah
servers crash or smthn? what i miss
so with gatherer retainers, can you get them to focus on HQ materials somehow or is it random chance?
Is there a reason PUGs seem so deadset on grabbing random coffers in dungeons even though there's no way it's useful gear?
do be rng
GC turn in exists
desynthesis also exists
I thought GC was only for Blue and above?
Pink rarity doesn't exist in further expansions?
I'm level 70 and just unlocked hell kier extreme - is that something that I need to use PF for or will the duty roulette work?
Pink means randomised substats, only occurs in ARR gear
Is there a way to avoid afk timer if i need to run an errand for just over 30 minutes
extremes you will want to pf, even for old ones
thanks
Are the Ironworks gear set still worth spending poetics for?
Do the crafting mats still drop if I do it unsync'd and hope for a bunch of 80's to carry me?
yep
thanks
Im trying to see the price for gametime, but it is only showing in USD, how i change to my current currency(brl)? Steam
@split dust
I know that... But the price is not the same.
Paying in USD would be 78 BRL, paying with the brl would be 30ish BRL
well changing the display on steam is a steam question not a ff14 question, might have more luck in the tech section or on steams discord
What gear level should I have for navel extreme? We just wiped and some guy said I should get better gear. I'm currently at gear level 77
what stats do i want too focus on as a paladin on equipment?
i'll move the question to tech
steam should give you an accurate conversion
should you have like at least 100? gear from msq is pretty good
nop
weird, if u live in brazil it should be brazilian currency
Yes, idk why its in USD
Regional pricing should work unless something has changed since then
I bought using BRL
Buy ironworks it’s 130
you should check steam's settings
maybe it will update when u add currency? idk u should go to steam forums at this point
The only thing I could think of would be that maybe Sqenix doesnt allow the subscription fee to be converted to local currencies on steam. But youll definitely get better answers on that problem in another venue
Thanks. I got half the set currently. But didnt have enough poetics to finish it
do summoner pets count as an extra person for stack-shared damage?
No
hey which gunbreaker skill pulls enemies?
hey i need some help
i when i logged in it says "a name change is required to log in with this character."
where do i change my name if it doesnt allow me to go into my character
Your name doesn’t comply with SE law
is the endless summer attire going to be the set that's in the mog station for 2021?
so what should i do
which gunbreaker skill is typically used for pulling enemies?
i was tryna log onto gilgamesh but it says that i cant get in q bc im on free trial, does this mean i have to wait till tmrw to play the game?

So I'm having a technical issue in FF14. Where can I ask about that?
#technology-discussion or sometimes here
any sites showing which blue quests are interesting lore wise?
i cant bother reading everything
Usually here then people will tell you to go #technology-discussion when we don't know how to answer
im trying to get to floor 30 in heaven on high. i did 1-10 with a matched party but they all left after the boss at floor 10. how do i find another party for 11-20?
if i queue again, dont i queue solo?
No
does anyone know why my Pharos Sirius isn't completing?
i ran it twice
im also running it with a friend and his completed
what job should my first 2 retainers get? im planning to get 1 or 2 more in the near future
did you have the relic equipped?
They should be the same as jobs you plan to level yourself. They can only level as high as your highest level in those jobs.
So if you main Paladin for example, make one of them a Paladin too so they can maximize levels.
Also you can dump your old gear on them
it says I'm "not high enough level" to equip the katana I got from the samurai intro quest
what gives lol
You just gotta hope for a time when less paying players are on. Could be wait until tomorrow (cause it's a weekend and more people are free rn) or just find a different time
tyvm
what use does "shirk " have? (Divert 25% of enmity too a party member)
like why would i ever use that as the tank?
tank swaps
and then the other one?
why can't I equip my katana?
or trolling your friends
But it's mainly there for when a duty requires you to tank swap
ah ok
are you high enough level for it? 
so my friend wants to get into ff14 but when they try to download the patch it's giving them a "failure to download patch file" error
im level 62
just shirk to a DPS and watch them perish to the tank buster
Well yeah, but what level is the katana
Also, do you have space in armoury chest? Check if it gives you any error messages on the top of the screen
so i wouldnt be able to play stormblood or shadowbringers until november if i got the endwalker preorder?
its 58
yes
If you want to play STB and SHB now, you would have to buy complete edition or shadowbringers
Check if there's any errors near the top when you try to equip it
it'll come up as red text with the reason why you can't equip it
it just says not high enough level
wait
Is your Samurai lvl 62?
to equip
i have the complete edition
no?
Or is your other job lvl 62
it has all of those already then?
so wait wait wait they just give me gear out of the gate that I can't freaking use?
I personally just have one retainer as a DoW/DoM and another as a gatherer that I also main, in my case botanist.
then where do I get a katana that I can actually use?
Did you just pickup samurai?
would my friend have to turn off their firewall and try downloading the patch for their client?
Yes
thanks man!
yes. yes i did.
thanks
Foolproof way to download is to use cellular data. Depending on where you are in the world, there’s a lot of network issues when downloading the patch for some reason.
If you just picked up samurai, look for another katana in your armoury chest or inventory
You might've gotten a katana from a dungeon drop
😄
Sometimes people don't roll for gear and you can end up with gear not for your job
But hey!
You get an upgrade for later 😄
thanks!
Either firewall or they can try using a 3rd party launcher
!faq quicklauncher
oh also I have another question, which items do I keep? I'm running low on inventory space
Any gear that will be an upgrade later, items you might want to desynthesise if you're leveling your crafters
Or just gear you might want to trade in for Company Seals
Utilize your retainers
They have around 170 slots each
how do I desynthesise stuff?
Crafting quest at lvl 30 of any crafter
and I can only have two retainers, I tried buying more but it wouldn't let me
thanks boyos
I’d sell a lot of the low level dungeon loot, and equipment I don’t plan on using.
Also, once you get your chocobo, make sure you maximize its saddlebag! Extra storage slots. 🙂 I personally throw my materia stones in it
You get 2 for free
if you want more, you gotta pay a monthly fee on Mogstation
i tried paying for it but it wouldn't let me
Can't help you on that front sadly
Reaper isn’t out yet, is it? I’m looking at a pf going on about it right now, looking for a static
Reaper and Sage will come out with Endwalker in november
that's so frigging hot
They're a melee DPS and will be using Maiming gear (Sharing gear with dragoon)
So I'm having a issue where while playing ff14(and only ff14) my controller continuously disconnects and reconnects. This persist regardless of the USB-Micro cord* I use, USB slot on my PC, or controller I use. I'll just be walking around doing something and my controller disconnects and makes me character continue running in whatever direction I was last holding until it reconnects
I check task manager and it's not showing any abnormal system usage while ff14 is running
@urban grotto Also
You can make more money from gear you don't use by trading it in for GC seals at your grand company hq instead of just selling it to a vendor
It'll allow you to buy a butt load of glamour prisms and sell them on the market board through your retainers
and as Ally pointed out
Shift + Ctrl + i will open up the chocobo saddlebag
extra inventory space on the go
why can't I buy emperors new gloves from goberin?
is there no way to change ur pass if u dont know answer to the security question
They should be there 
Try scrolling down
i tried selling gear through my retainers but it wouldn't let me
also, thanks!
If you mean on the market, you can't do that for unique and untradeable gear
ohh ok
At a certain Grand company rank you'll have access to Expert Deliveries where you can hand in gear for seals
i can do that already and I know but thank you 🙂
Do be careful and make sure you select "hide gear set items" when you do it 😄
.
understood
Don't be like me and hand in sword you just bought for a 100k 
mustv been a pretty good word
100k 

, suddenly you're doing 5% more damage and the enemy is in pain
