[rough fossil]

Is there some general protocol for what to do when you need to stack and everyone gathers ‘round nicely but then the boss sends an AoE your way?

[plush hound]

If you're targeted with an AoE that is not a stack marker you stay away from the stack. How far depends on the fight.

[spiral inlet]

how many years has it been

since ARR

--------> SHB

[twilit arch]

hasn't progressed past a year

[spiral inlet]

wait

what

[twilit arch]

still been 5 years since the calamity

[quick sage]

Hey guys, is there a mount on second coil then 4 savage?

[twilit arch]

no

[plush hound]

In game or real world?

[gloomy seal]

how do i learn to play again? i havent played for more than a year and i dont know what my classes do.

[faint flare]

Just titles

[spiral inlet]

wait lol we did ALL that

within a year?

[twilit arch]

correct

[quick sage]

@faint flare on turn 3 now

[warm snow]

@quick sage there are no mounts in coils. At all

[plush hound]

Yup, it's attributed to your connection with hydalen giving you an inherent gift to excel at all tasks you'rte given. If you want to find out more I suggest you check out #archived-lore-spoilers

[dawn gazelle]

shit well now im sorta loss

[fickle plume]

do you have to buy shadowbringers to be able to level to 80 or is the level cap free as long as you pay subscription?

[faint flare]

Own shadowbringers

[twilit arch]

You need to own shadowbringers

[fickle plume]

alright

[pseudo ginkgo]

Hi all! I want to ask how it takes for completion of the MSQ up to HS with the recent MSQ changes, if I'm skipping cutscenes and charging forward as much as possible

The reason I ask is, I originally made my account in Japan while I was living there, but now I live in NA, and I don't really have a good payment method for JP anymore so I'm trying to decide whether to try to hit up friends and charge a bunch of Crysta up or something, or just scrap my character and start anew in NA

[warm snow]

That's gonna bite you in the ass, since it's all related

But from the end of ARR to the start of hw it's 80 quests

[dawn gazelle]

i cant find plot 60

[twilit arch]

its in the subdivision

main ward is 1-30, subdivision of that ward is 31-60

[dawn gazelle]

how do i get to sub devision

[twilit arch]

interact with one of the aethernet shards in the ward

and select one of the subdivision options

[boreal storm]

Use the map, warp to whatever is closest

[dawn gazelle]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

i see

i couldnt find it on map

[twilit arch]

there's an option in the upper right hand corner to switch

[dawn gazelle]

jesus its the mansion

[glass oxide]

If you are on non-steam I would recommend Amazon pay for crysta as it works for outside JP

[round parcel]

So. I may possibly need help. It only shows up with one account on my mogstation, but I know I had another on the same account. Any ideas what could be happening?

[river wagon]

do i need any requirements to unlock eureka cause the quest in rhalgr's reach is not showing up

?

[jade condor]

Did you beat the main Stormblood story?

[pseudo ginkgo]

Interesting! So I can setup Amazon Pay with a non-JP credit card, and then pay a FFXIV subscription through AmazonPay?

[river wagon]

oh

lmao

ty

[glass oxide]

Yes

[jade condor]

Need to have finished the quest called Stormblood prior to it showing up.

[river wagon]

alright

what about Alexander Svg when can i unlock that?

[dawn gazelle]

pretty sure this is some erp thing

thats a backroom for a dance

[regal pawn]

And how is this a question?

[river wagon]

[round parcel]

rip my question sadge

[river wagon]

what only shows up with one account?

[plush hound]

Once you've started to tackle the normal ones.

[river wagon]

i already completed alexander normal

[round parcel]

I made one character on one world, then another on a different world with the same account but it only shows the very first character made

[abstract heath]

Can you make some gil by gathering? I leveled botanist and miner to 80 and not sure what i'm suppoed to do now

[river wagon]

if you made 2 different characters on 2 different data centers with the same account then you should be able to see then when you enter each data center

[round parcel]

Ooohh, that may be it

[river wagon]

you will only see the character you made on that data center if im not mistaken

[round parcel]

Wait. I'm on my mogstation and it only shows 1

[river wagon]

you sure you made them on the same account?

like same squareenix account

[round parcel]

100%

I've only had one

[dull valley]

so can I complete objectives for a low level job's quest on an 80 and then swap back to turn in on the low level job?

[river wagon]

and it only shows 1 on your character list?

[round parcel]

Yeah

[faint flare]

Only if the job meets the minimum level required to turn in

[river wagon]

hmm weird try logging into the game and going into the data center that has the other character

see if it shows up

[pure zenith]

job quests themselves can only be done by their jobs

[round parcel]

I'm downloading it now on my ps4, but idk if i can log in without a sub

Like to see characters

[pure zenith]

oh wait you mean a normal quest then ye what vinyl said

[round parcel]

But I 100% only have one SE account. I have 210 days subbed and this 1 character is level 12 with nothing else leveled, which is defo bs

[river wagon]

hmmm this is why it is not recommended to make alts in this game

xD

[round parcel]

Oh, no. This was cause I started the game without friends and then i got had friends who were on a different server so i joined them with another character

well a fresh

[river wagon]

ouh

well that makes sense

[quasi mulch]

Hey, is someone familiar with anima weapons?

[river wagon]

yeah whats up?

[quasi mulch]

Im at the "Born Again Anima" step and I did the 3 Hardmode Dungeons and I got the Newborn Soulstone. And I think I need to do duties now with my weapon equipped and gain like 2000 Light ?

[azure ivy]

what's the FAQ command for 80 gearing?

[river wagon]

did you complete "some assembly required"?

[dawn gazelle]

i want to build this glamour

but im not sure how to do it

[quasi mulch]

Yeah I did

[dawn gazelle]

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/104838/-aa--cool-denim

[plush hound]

HW instance and fate content, yes. Recommended is to get a group together and do A9S repeatedly.

[dawn gazelle]

anyone can help?

[quasi mulch]

Okay so Im looking at a list now and it tells me this: Hardened (32) A9S, A10S, A11S

So I gain 32 Light per A9S, A10S or A11S

And I need 2000 Light

[river wagon]

so yeah you should just speak to the verification node and get the density for your anima

[plush hound]

you're info is outdated. They give 96 regular, 128 with a bonus cycle.

[quasi mulch]

So I need to farm this Raid over 50 times?

Ohh

Okay that makes things easier xD

So like 21 times

Mhh, thats not too bad if its really doable in 2 minutes

[outer mural]

for anima?

you onmly need to do 21 of those

people usually spam A9S unsync in PF for anima light farm

oh yeah lundar said it

good man

[plush hound]

Yeah, a full group of 80's can knock out A9S really fast.

[quasi mulch]

Mhh.. now I just need to find people

[plush hound]

Set up a Party Finder. You'd be surprised how quick they can fill out.

[outer mural]

and remember to have your weapon equipped when you kill it

[quasi mulch]

Yeah its already up

[outer mural]

even with shitty anima weps you can wreck a9s pretty easily with enough 80s in good ilevel armor

[quasi mulch]

Are the hardmode Trials still required?

[cunning loom]

yes

hardmode is the new standard difficulty too

[radiant summit]

I keep hearing DRK's story is good. So I started a DRK and got it to level 45. When does it finally get good? lol

[quasi mulch]

For the anima weapons I mean

[cunning loom]

oh lmao

to get lux yes

[quasi mulch]

When you get to the plottwist which is pretty much at the end iirc @radiant summit

Its worth it though :P

Around 65 ? Don't quote me on that

[radiant summit]

ah, so I got a while then haha

thanks

Kinda figured maybe it was HW but guess not

[quasi mulch]

Just enjoy the ride :P

[maiden palm]

do i have to unlock all aircurrents of each region of an expansion to unlock flying there?

[quasi mulch]

Yes

[maiden palm]

oof

thought was each region on its own

[plush hound]

For HW and beyond, yes

[quasi mulch]

In Heavensward they're pretty much on the way

[boreal storm]

Then there’s the lochs

[quasi mulch]

Just keep playing the MSQ and you'll run into them, for later expansions you have to search for them.

[plush hound]

Only one of them

[maiden palm]

im lvl 80 xd

so i need to do the whole map or all regions of the expansion

cause coeatrthas has two big islands

[jolly locust]

What level can i unlock dark knight?

[boreal storm]

Msq 50

[faint flare]

50 and access to Ishgard

[plush hound]

All of the exploration aehter currents can be reached on the ground.

[hot eagle]

reach heavensward and the quest to unlock it is lvl50

[quasi mulch]

Go to Travel > Aether Currents

It'll tell you all the regions :P

[maiden palm]

oh damn this helps thanks

[boreal storm]

And how many you’ve missed

[proper lichen]

Does anyone know if the Square Enix storefront does discounts for the holidays or must I purchase the game from Steam if I want a discount?

[jolly locust]

Thanks... thats what i thought but i read lvl 30 at one point to so i wasnt sure

[boreal storm]

SE does discounts more frequently then steam anyway

[faint flare]

They do, sale is now I believe

[plush hound]

Sales show up at random. The storefront has them more frequently but Steam's tend to be bigger discounts.

[hot eagle]

probably did read that the job is lvl30 after you unlock it

[pulsar venture]

Hi guys, does the scholar fairy heal a chocobo in fight?

[proper lichen]

Like the current one? I can get the Complete Edition for 16 euro.

[faint flare]

Yes

[daring pier]

Would looking at the specified apartment list show me if there's room available or do I have to go inside and ask the npc?

[faint flare]

Yes it would

[jolly locust]

I did read the job started at lvl 50 i thought...

[faint flare]

Requires 50. Starts at 30

[pulsar venture]

was that a reeponse to my q?

[proper lichen]

There are at least 30 quests post-ARR before you reach HW.

[boreal storm]

Stormblood jobs work like that

[daring pier]

Thx

[proper lichen]

I still have about 10 or so more to go.

[hot eagle]

[leaden ginkgo]

so im very low on gil

whats a good way to get gil

[gloomy seal]

should i be turning off tank stance once i have aggro?

[plush hound]

Nope, leave it on

[gloomy seal]

i remember tank stance being bad for some reason

[faint flare]

You only turn it off if you're not tanking

[plush hound]

Only time you should turn it off is if you are not the MT

[runic harness]

uhm is there a way to choose another server than twin on the light datacenter? Like, do they unlock at a certain time of the day

[faint flare]

It has no downsides anymore

[gloomy seal]

okay

[plush hound]

Earlier there was a penalty to damage for having it on but that was gone with ShB

[hot eagle]

if you don't have crafter/gatherer you can do the daily rouletts best with the job in need for the bonus, or run treasuremaps can buy the maps from mb if you don't have a gatherer

[plush hound]

It's based off server acivity so trying during off hours (like late at night) will work better.

[polar shale]

Hey is there a way to Rebind the target cycling button to LB on the controller? Targeting is so bad with controller

It keeps selecting allies mid fight when I’m trying to dps

[pulsar venture]

Does the scholar fairy heal my chocobo in battle?>

[void peak]

Antone know an Aether's Hunt Discord?

[limpid glacier]

is crypt twine for gear or accessories?

[hot eagle]

gear, accessories need dusting

[limpid glacier]

ty

[cursive ridge]

i found the website listing all the baits needed for every fish and it's very useful, but how on earth would i get that information without that website? is it anywhere in the game or are you just supposed to chance it and slowly figure out which bait attracts which fish?

[faint flare]

Trial and error

[plush hound]

Random guessing and experimentation, yes.

[cursive ridge]

that's kinda mad

[plush hound]

Now you know why fishing isn't very popular.

[outer mural]

the RNG also does not help at all

[cursive ridge]

if they included the ff14angler website in the game it would be much more popular

[outer mural]

fishing requires a lot of dedication, patience and reearch

[boreal storm]

Just like in real life

[plush hound]

^

[nocturne wyvern]

Also highly suggest a youtube playlist and/or an audiobook.

[bleak spindle]

Stupid question, but I can’t find where to re-sub. Is it on Mogstation or there website?

[wanton niche]

so i just bought that (even modified) lv 70 weapon than i saw an npc selling even better stuff.. whats more worthß xD

[undone current]

Not a stupid question, the website is the final raidboss of ffxiv

[last brook]

How do I remove the yellow border around things that I target?

I dont' see it in the settings menu

[heavy jewel]

is there any really fun interesting content that is easily missable or hard to know about in this game?

[heavy lily]

are retainers available to use in the free trial?

[undone current]

Spitballing, you check character settings?

[last brook]

Mahjong and Fishing, baby. This is where the good life is.

[shrewd mirage]

is it possible to make a macro that casts two defensive abilities at once?

[wanton niche]

na

[wanton niche]

just if one of them wouldnt trigger GCD

[boreal storm]

Scaven gear

[heavy wadi]

don't macro defensives

[wanton niche]

scaven?

[heavy jewel]

@last brook hmm alright ty i'll check them out

[boreal storm]

400 item level

[proper lichen]

I have one more question. Does the exp I earn during my free trial, past the level cap, get stored for when I fully purchase the game or do I lose it? I want to play HW for the story but if I lose all of that xp, then it's kinda meaningless.

[wanton niche]

where?

[plush hound]

Not really. Apart from special events everything is always accessible when you want to do them.

[plush hound]

It's simply changing the account from free trial to sub.

[wanton niche]

i just entered chinatown everything in here is 340

[last brook]

Yea, I'm looking there now, I don't see it.

[proper lichen]

I haven't purchased the game though nor can I for now.

[shell skiff]

I want to start doing some crafting will botany and weaving go hand in hand ?

[heavy jewel]

is the dummy quest stone sky sea or anima/relic weapon quests interesting or should i just skip?

[undone current]

Got nothing then

[last brook]

Oops! Nope found it

Control Settings > target

[plush hound]

sigh It's Kugane, not chinatown. Show some decency. Second, there is a merchant by the aeteryte that sells the Scavean gear for Poetics.

[boreal storm]

Kugane (X:12.2 Y:10.8)

[wanton niche]

sigh

[gray palm]

Does a story skip give you all the aether currents? I’m nearing the end of SB and haven’t done any of them since ARR. would be nice to save the time.

[wanton niche]

thank you very much.

[noble pollen]

Im doing my 1st deep dungeon im on floor 80 but my hp is half of my other party members. Am i not doing something right or does gear matter here?

[boreal storm]

Aetherpool

[void peak]

Is there a specific job that i should level first as a must? Ps: i'm a summoner

[last brook]

Just level Summoner, you'll be fine 🙂

[void peak]

I mean crafting

[last brook]

Oh! nope, still same answer.

[void peak]

Got it. Thanks!

[gloomy bridge]

Are the rewards from the Gift of the Archmagus repeatable quest worth anything?

[heavy jewel]

do any other hand or land jobs have something cool like the ocean fishing event?

[wintry chasm]

You'd literally want to do them all honestly

[wintry chasm]

Nothing exclusive to them

[last brook]

I think ocean fishing might be the only thing we got going on right now

[solar kindle]

What do ppl think of the playstyle of summoner?

[wanton niche]

could he just appear after a specific quest or so?

[boreal storm]

Have you not completed stormblood?

[last brook]

I love how easy it is to do some decent damage, however... I wish the summons were significantly bigger and I wish we had more summons. Those are the only two complaints I have.

[coarse meadow]

What's the difference between flying and pop up text?

[manic hare]

What channel should I go to if I'm looking for an fc? Recruiting?

[heavy jewel]

do people recommend turning on limited spell effects for others or is that a bad idea?

[wanton niche]

na m8 i just got to kugane

[last brook]

Also, I never use Titan. Like... Never ever ever.

[leaden ginkgo]

do i need to be geared to join delubum or its like bozja/zadnor it will sync your items to 430

[solar kindle]

@last brook yeah, i hear you only use it to soak

[last brook]

I don't even do that.

[jade condor]

titan doesnt tank anymore so that doesnt work lol

[faint flare]

Pop.up is other people's damage and buff. Flying is yours

[warm snow]

Kindly don't be fucking racist

[spiral inlet]

What is

skyward points?

[solar kindle]

Do groups care a lot about utility? Want to understand what high end ppl want than just skill

[warm snow]

Diadem points

[spiral inlet]

what does it get you

[faint flare]

Skill > job pick

[warm snow]

Utility is basically still needed for a lot of mechanics

[mental oracle]

I just reinstalled windows and can't find the download link for ff.. the options are "trial" and "buy now"

[faint flare]

It syncs to 430

[leaden ginkgo]

how to make gil fast

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[mental oracle]

anyone have the link to download ff?

[warm snow]

Do your msq

[solar kindle]

@warm snow like classes with red mage and not samurai?

[warm snow]

After that there's no one answer

[wanton niche]

so every chinatown around the world is "fucking racist" ?

overthink that m8

[plush hound]

IF you're looking for a job that's in high demand, you won't really find one. The game is balanced well enough that any job is useable.

[boreal storm]

The place has a name

Use it, don’t be weird

[solar kindle]

@plush hound i just find it really hard to wrap my head around that

[warm snow]

Well for starters a variety in party composition buffs everyone

[stiff sentinel]

I bought the game and the launcher wants me to install it again, anybody know a solution?

[last brook]

level crafting/gathering jobs and you will open new opportunities to make gil

[wintry chasm]

That's probably just downloading expansions, it's normal

[plush hound]

You'll get used to it. Just pick something and if you don't like how it feels, switch.

[wanton niche]

holy moly.. sorry new ppl dont have every new cityname in their mind directly, karens.

[stiff sentinel]

My friend didnt need to install anything after he bought it so dont think so

[warm snow]

First off, those areas are built by Chinese immigrants. Secondly calling the first Asian themed city "Chinatown" is racist especially considering its Japanese themed

[wintry chasm]

Depends what you bought I guess

[solar kindle]

@plush hound do ppl have a preference towards range or melee dps? In wow range were sought after and melee was fiercely competitive

[plush hound]

Nope. The player is what's important, not the job.

[uneven dune]

they're both used

[wintry chasm]

If you bought expansions it 100% needs extra installing @stiff sentinel

[warm snow]

Party's want one of each type of dps(caster, ranged, melee) after that it's up to preference

[spiral inlet]

How do I obtain kupo vouchers

[stiff sentinel]

Bought the starter edition on steam, would that double the file size?

[warm snow]

Handing in ishgard restoration crafts

[faint flare]

Do lv80 non expert crafts

[mental oracle]

where do you download final fantasy client? I reinstalled windows and can't find it on the website

[spiral inlet]

ok

I can't even complete 1 expert craft

[warm snow]

While levelling the highest level available craft also gives stamps iirc

[spiral inlet]

I mean they didn't accept them

DD:

lol

[faint flare]

!faq download

[zinc orbit]

Download FFXIV

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[mental oracle]

ty

[pure pumice]

anyone know where I can find armour sets above 400?

/buy

[warm snow]

Shadowbringers

[faint flare]

In shadowbringers content

[pure pumice]

just bought it like 6 minutes ago lol

[warm snow]

400 is the item level cap for stormblood

[warm snow]

Still have to actually be there

It's all linear

[wintry chasm]

Hmmm no not afaik it shouldn't. Its clearly doing it because of the migration off free trial though

[warm snow]

So have to finish stormblood to start shadowbringers

[heavy jewel]

do new expansions usually change jobs alot or do they add just a skill or two usually?

[uneven dune]

varies widely

[warm snow]

Depends

Some jobs get large reworks, some get one or two new skills

[heavy jewel]

also think we will get new gold saucer games or did devs forget about gold saucer?

[warm snow]

It's not consistent

[wintry chasm]

They said there were adding a new one no?

[warm snow]

We got some gates removed a good while ago but that's all I know

They were unpopular anyways

[runic harness]

Can't choose any server on the light datacenter, what now?

[warm snow]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[wintry chasm]

The bamboo cut was a recent addition too

[runic harness]

well that's slightly annoying

[wintry chasm]

As Kat showed, you basically just need to keep trying

[warm snow]

It's peak hours

[wintry chasm]

It is annoying

[runic harness]

Thanks anyways guess I gotta put on a movie or sth

[warm snow]

You likely won't get to create a character tonight

Not til very late

3am ish as a broad guess

[wintry chasm]

Nahhh

You can usually catch a quick gap

I'd give it an hour tops

[runic harness]

When I started twintania was still available but rip me I guess

Thanks I'll try for a bit

[hearty anchor]

Heyo, I'm a newbie to ff14 and I'm wondering why I can't find the Rise and Shine quest to get the Ragnarok Zeta.

[heavy jewel]

whats the point of a second character if you can literally play everything on one character?

[faint flare]

Cause it'd part of the very long chain starting with Weaponsmith of legend

!faq zodiac

[zinc orbit]

Guide to the Zodiac Relic

Zodiac Relic Guide

[warm snow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some people use it to play weekly locked stuff multiple times or play other races

[wintry chasm]

Playing on different data centers for starters

[hearty anchor]

Oh damn, didn't know it required so much things to do

[heavy jewel]

can you share an account with a family member and use seperate characters?

[wintry chasm]

DON'T

[faint flare]

It's a relic

It's designed to be grindy and a timesink

[warm snow]

That's against tos

I'm pretty sure

[wintry chasm]

I'll be honest me and my brother did that and like, I basically had to take the account from him ngl

And yes it's against ToS

[heavy jewel]

weird...

its like having two save files thats all..

surprised its against tos

[wintry chasm]

Yeah but like, when one of you moves out you'll basically have to either take the game from the other person or give it up @heavy jewel

Trust me for the love of God don't do it

[heavy jewel]

also how would they know if you on the same interent?

[wintry chasm]

They won't

But it's still an awful idea

I have personal experience

[heavy jewel]

k ty

[warm snow]

"Mom says it's my turn to be the warrior of light"

[heavy jewel]

is there any reason to trying blue mage out?

[flint lance]

hey guys, i dont know if this is a bug

[heavy jewel]

other than for fun

[flint lance]

but i cant see the npc for the 'The better half' MSQ

[uneven dune]

BLU is 99% funsies, i think it can be good for farming seals or smth

[wintry chasm]

Some exclusive rewards and a good source of allied seals

[hearty anchor]

I have a IL of 43 and I kind of want to boost that up? Any guides or lists that people have some I can go grind that?

uhh, not sure if bug, i just arrived at the wolves den for the first time and noticed all my skills were completely different

[heavy jewel]

what content can you not do with blue mage?

[jade condor]

Which NPC?

[uneven dune]

not a bug, PvP skills are different

[polar flame]

why is it that I can't set some yet to be learned skills to my hotbar? It defaults to another fucking spell

[noble kernel]

ah

[polar flame]

it's really annoying

[flint lance]

ah sorry i got, I had to go inside the bulding

[knotty lily]

Not a bug, go to Character > PVP Profile in the bottom right menu. Take some time to read

[flint lance]

it

[polar flame]

I wanna place everything and have it ready when I get to that level

[uneven dune]

some skills are direct upgrades of others

[flint lance]

Edmont* @jade condor

[knotty lily]

Thats because some spells evolve, but share the same slot. Just upgrades

So you dont need it on twice

[polar flame]

oh

[uneven dune]

ie: ruin iii replaces ruin

[wintry chasm]

Because that better skill replaces that older skill

[jade condor]

ah well you figured it out.

[polar flame]

that makes sense, didn't think glare was an upgrade of fucking stone xd

[faint flare]

You can see the upgrades in your traits

!trait Stone Mastery

[wintry chasm]

^

[zinc orbit]

**Stone Mastery** : lvl 18 CNJ WHM

Upgrades Stone to Stone II.

Powered by XIVAPI

[knotty lily]

Stone 1 2 3 (?) and Glare, same as Dia and Aero blah blah

[faint flare]

Example

[runic harness]

Alright so I managed to create a character but I can not log in on it.. Can I basically only play in the mornings? When servers aren't active?

[polar flame]

thanks good to know

[knotty lily]

Are you on Free Trial?

[jade condor]

I'm assuming youre on free trial

[runic harness]

yea

[faint flare]

You can only log in while on trial when it's not busy

Cause servers are way too full

[knotty lily]

Right now the servers are uber, extra overloaded because of the WoW exodus

So much so that there isnt even room to fit free trial players amidst the subbed players

[heavy jewel]

if blue mage is so strong why does everyone not use them for raids/trials?

[uneven dune]

uber mega extra hyper super duper overloaded

[uneven dune]

they can't be used in current max level content

[runic harness]

I'm a second class citizens I get it

[runic harness]

rip me I guess

[warm snow]

We should pin this

[knotty lily]

Blue Mage is a LIMITED Job, so it cant be used in current content and it cant be brought to old raids without 7 other BLUs

[jade condor]

Or add to the FAQ

[warm snow]

We've sold out of download codes at least twice, demand is higher than servers can handle

[heavy jewel]

oh that makes sense didn't realize you need 7 other BLUs

ty

[pure zenith]

you dont need 7 other blues

[knotty lily]

Normally it wouldnt be so bad, but we got hundreds of thousands of new players "basically" overnight thanks to Blizzard, Asmongold, Rich, Jesse... etc

[visual agate]

can i somehow see my eureka lv outside of eureka in game

[knotty lily]

So its super super bad right now

[runic harness]

To not be a trial pleb, what would I have to buy

[pure zenith]

Blue mage can join any content 70 and below as long as its a premade

and not pvp

[uneven dune]

imagine BLU in pvp

[pure zenith]

or roulette

[warm snow]

Being a trial pleb isn't what's stopping you with character creation btw

[knotty lily]

Right sorry, I meant for the BLU achievements

[dawn gazelle]

ok

doing glamour

[jade condor]

Well they created a character

Now they cant queue

[warm snow]

Oh nvm

[dawn gazelle]

i just depoiste my items into the dresser

so they can be used for glamour right

[runic harness]

yea imma just delete that one and create one at like 4 am or sth on the server I wanted

[jade condor]

You could get the Complete Edition which is on sale currently on the platform of your choice

[knotty lily]

Complete Edition and a monthly subscription
(Or standard edition but we dont recommend)

[heavy jewel]

so it would be kinda like cheating doing old raids/trials with BLU if its your first time?

[civic rune]

where do i get a materia enhanced champion lance

[jade condor]

I wouldnt say cheating since BLU requires you to go out and get skills but there are definitely skills that would trivialize certain mechanics.

[faint flare]

Craft or buy a champions Lance off market board and meld it with the materia requested in the journal

[knotty lily]

Ask a friend or buy from the market board (if not free trial), otherwise you'd have to have carpenter and other crafts leveled up and craft it yourself

Then get it melded by a friend or an NPC Materia Melder yeah. Has to be specific materia

[heavy jewel]

are there any fights that don't let you do them unsynced? so that you can feel special if you get the acheivment?

[faint flare]

Current expansion content and ultimates

Can't be unsynced

Ultimates are the key example of content you'll never unsync

[civic rune]

what do i have to level up to meld stuff my self

[cunning loom]

BLU content has to be synced

[faint flare]

A crafter to meld without an npc

[runic harness]

Does the complete edition go on sale often? Or is this like a once in a year opportunity?

[faint flare]

somewhat often

Maybe 3 times a year

Give or take

[jade condor]

^

[heavy jewel]

so you literally get no achievements by doing stuff synced or min ilvl?

[faint flare]

Only for blue mage

[civic rune]

should i worry about jobs after i get to endgame or beofre

[heavy jewel]

lame

[civic rune]

before

[full wagon]

Does anyone know what the festival is in the Firmament in 7 hours?

[cunning loom]

there aren't achievements for min ilvl

[runic harness]

how long will it last? Not sure if I should buy it, as I tried the game before but was bored out of my mind as I was used to the hyper clusterfuck action of bdo

[faint flare]

Fates

[chrome island]

If you mean jobs like paladin, definitely before

[civic rune]

i mean like blacksmith

and carpenter

[lyric warren]

does anyone know when will the 60% sale will end for the complete edition ?

[chrome island]

That’s up to you

[heavy jewel]

are mounts and stuff at least restricted to synced content?

[chrome island]

I like to do those to get away from MSQ from time to time

[faint flare]

Nope

[heavy jewel]

man thats stupid

[faint flare]

There's literally no reason to do min ilvl

Outside of challenge

[heavy jewel]

so there is no way to get something unique by doing hard content?

wtf\

[cunning loom]

if you don't consider ultimates hard

[faint flare]

That's what ultimates are for

And blue mage stuff

[chrome island]

If you’re looking for the game to pat you on the back for doing something synced, you’re not gonna find much

[faint flare]

Or solo palace of the dead

[cunning loom]

solo deep dungeon is definitely a hard thing to do

only a couple hundred have the title from it iirc

[chrome island]

Doing stuff the hard way is really just for the fun of it in most cases

[jade condor]

Getting Necromancer is true pain.

[cunning loom]

yeah people impose self restrictions for the sake of the challenge

[knotty lily]

Theres a number of other "Impressive" things to look for, although I will say that you can't fake the date you receive Achievements, if you're looking for more clout

[civic rune]

how do i figure out what side job is best

for me

[heavy jewel]

what are ultimates i'm only in HW right now?

[faint flare]

The hardest content in the game

Ever

The first is lv70 in stormblood

Significantly harder than savage

[knotty lily]

But yeah its all Ultimates. Ultimate is the premier, top-tier highly difficult content for the top 0.5% of players. It requires perfect skill, perfect execution and knowledge of your job/rotation like the back of your hand (basically)

[heavy jewel]

so even when a new expansion comes out you cant unsync ultimates?

[cunning loom]

no

you can't

[heavy jewel]

good

[faint flare]

They're permanently unabled to be unsynced

[knotty lily]

Normal << Hard <<< Extreme < Savage <<<< Ultimate
And thats correct

[knotty lily]

Side job? Like alternate combat job to level? Or you mean profession, crafter gatherer etc?

[faint flare]

Cause they take over 100 hours to learn and clear

In a static

[heavy jewel]

is extreme min ilvl no echo harder or easier than savage normal?

[faint flare]

Savage

[midnight tinsel]

what squadron manual/voucher is generally the most useful to get from squadron 50 ?

[covert marlin]

Will seasonal item such as sabotender minion be back next year make it rain?

[faint flare]

Min ilvl doesn't make that content harder

[knotty lily]

Dont use those as a good gauge though, if you mean the ARR ones
AS someone on reddit pointed out things were much different then

[faint flare]

Just means you just see more mechanics instead of killing it faster

[heavy jewel]

different how?

[faint flare]

Maybe... Seasonal items usually go on mogstation after a year

[leaden ginkgo]

where do i go for land king stuff the one in limsa dont have em

[covert marlin]

Thank you, forgot to grab them before event ended 🥲

[civic rune]

i mean profession

[faint flare]

Skills were moved, job got changed and new jobs added

You can never truly experience raids how they were originally released

[knotty lily]

Getting rezzed after dying made you weaker, we didnt have strong expansion jobs (Red Mage, Samurai, Astro.. etc)
Melee who failed positional requirements would "break" their combo and really really hurt their DPS
Your cooldowns didnt reset on a wipe like they do now so everything took 5x as long because you had to stand and wait
Healers and tanks did MUCH less dps because their stances reduced damage output.. blah blah

[midnight tinsel]

what squadron manual/voucher is generally the most useful to get from squadron 50 ?

[faint flare]

Cause you don't have skills that existed prior

[glacial veldt]

What's the general strategy to doing the MSQ's group content as a DPS? Dungeon finder takes longer than 20 minutes solo queuing

[heavy jewel]

did people do hard content min ilvl when it came out or did they usually have best gear going into it?

[cunning loom]

find a good series to pick up on a second monitor and wait

[heavy jewel]

in my mind min ilvl is harder than when it originally came out cause of that

[cunning loom]

include other languages in your search in duty finder

J/E/D/F enabled will expand the pool a little

[maiden palm]

shouldnt i have all the yellow currents unlocked since they are story aethers and im 80lvl ...for coerthas

[cunning loom]

pick up a tank/healer

[quasi pebble]

is anyone playing on ps4?

[glacial veldt]

Oooh that's genius

[chrome island]

Some are side quests, so no

[cinder remnant]

Is it very important as a beginner, what faction I choose?

[chrome island]

No

[cinder remnant]

Ok 😄

[jade condor]

They're blue quests, not story all the way through

[faint flare]

You basically have to do new content min ilvl cause that's how you're gearing up

[knotty lily]

Remember that they are optional, so dont feel pressured. But also note that after level 30, you can't craft on one profession without having -all of the others- leveled if you want to be self-sufficient. These claws for example need materials from Smithing, Carpenter, Alchemist, and Goldsmith alone - not to mention the pickaxe above it that needs leather from Leatherworker blah blah.

Again dont be frightened but you'll see what I mean in that if you want to get serious, you look at all 11 of em at once 😮

[knotty lily]

!faq grandcompany

[zinc orbit]

Grand Company FAQ

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:

Grand Company Gear

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.

[heavy jewel]

ah that makes sense

[cinder remnant]

Thank you 🙂

[knotty lily]

The only differences are cosmetic. See the link above and decide which gear you like the look of best!

[heavy jewel]

is there grand comapnies in the expansion cities?

[cunning loom]

maelstrom looks the best

no

[faint flare]

No

[heavy jewel]

or at least access to them?

[chrome island]

No

No

[faint flare]

Only the 3

[knotty lily]

Remember that content is tweaked to the gear level that players have when it launches, so when we were going in to do like.. Leviathan extreme for the first time, we were "basically at min ilevel anyways".
Clearing things on-time ( / on-content) is where the real juice is, you can say "I did Pandaemonium Savage on content" in the future and that means you did it for real real, you know?

[heavy jewel]

so it seems this game isn't really about loot and different builds/comps rather all about teamwork/cooperation is that correct to say?

[chrome island]

Well, yes and no

[faint flare]

It's about skill

Primarily

[heavy jewel]

skill doenst matter much if your teamates wipe you though..

[faint flare]

Yes

Skill for EVERYONE

[jade condor]

Well that boils down to skill and learning mechanics.

[boreal storm]

That’s exactly why skill matters

[faint flare]

There's no carrying here in harder content

[chrome island]

If you’re talking about what brings people joy, then yes you can say this game is about different builds, because glam. If you’re talking about what’s needed to succeed, not so much.

[heavy jewel]

i mean its more about cooperation and being on teh same page then individual skill is what im saying, or good leadership i guess

[knotty lily]

This is also why players often look for "Statics" for endgame Extreme/Savage/Ultimate raiding. Doesnt matter what guild or world you're on, as long as you can find 7 other people at your skill level who all agree to tackle content together

[faint flare]

You need individual skill

To do the mechanics the game asks you

And to do your fucking job

[knotty lily]

But individual skill is still top priority, yeah

[cursive ridge]

short of choosing a different mount, is there a way to turn off the 'whoosh' sound that randomly plays when you fly on a chocobo?

[boreal storm]

8 individuals being skilled basically equals a team being skilled

[knotty lily]

You dont want to be a drain to other players in your party and you certainly need to be skilled to do your job well in endgame

[faint flare]

You're only as good as your weakest player

If you all know how to do your job then you're fine

[heavy jewel]

exactly so like i said not so much about individual skill as it is communicating and helping eachother aka teamwork

[sour spindle]

wat is the birb drop chance from containment bays?

[faint flare]

No cause if you fuck up, that's on you

[chrome island]

No, it’s about both almost equally

[crimson yacht]

So you know how in pvp you have you use an ability and it automatically changes to the next ability in that rotation so the next time you press that button its the new ability. Is there a way to have that in regular so i can cut down on crosshotbar abilities

[faint flare]

No

You have 48 slots. Plenty for all jobs

[jade condor]

Well you can perfectly execute the teamwork portion but if you arent proficient at your class you wont pass the DPS check in the form of an enrage timer most of the time.

[knotty lily]

Nope, only in PVP. Dont bring that one over to PVE

[faint flare]

You don't even need to communicate much

You just need to know your role for the mechanic

[runic cairn]

...does the combo xivlauncher addon work with cross hotbar?

[faint flare]

And do that role

[heavy jewel]

gotcha so its both skill and teamwork equally

[faint flare]

Like I said

[crimson yacht]

Barely on console.

[faint flare]

No

[runic cairn]

oh, console, nvm

[faint flare]

I'm on console

You have 48 slots

On controller

No hotbar swapping

[heavy jewel]

is theere much min maxing this this game?

[faint flare]

There is, that's what theorycrafters do

And how some fucking cursed strats come about

[heavy jewel]

i do like the fact that everyone has the same build so that its more skill based and not just copy pasta/loot grind

[jade condor]

If you really want to get into the min/max you can go over to The Balance.

[faint flare]

There's alot of hidden mechanics about combat the gamr doesn't really tell you about

Like zeroing damage

And stuff

[boreal storm]

Game doesn’t mention slidecasts, don’t think

[faint flare]

Nope

[jade condor]

Definitely not

[faint flare]

Or snapshots

[jade condor]

clipping

[boreal storm]

Ticks

[faint flare]

Weaving in general

[heavy jewel]

do health regens between AST stack? if you have two ast? or only different ability regens?

[faint flare]

No

Two diurnal astro don't stack

[heavy jewel]

but like a diurnal stacks with whm regens right?

[twilit arch]

yes

[heavy jewel]

so if two astros just have oen durinal and one noct?

[twilit arch]

yes

[heavy jewel]

why was someone telling me two astros is horrible? was that based on the old card system or is it still bad?

[honest summit]

[knotty lily]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[faint flare]

Double astro means cards and divination overwrites each other

And you'll have slower limit break generation

For having double jobs

[heavy jewel]

oh that doesnt seem like an issue cause there are so many party members to buff with the cards anyway

[knotty lily]

Double anything you usually try to avoid whenever possible

[humble crane]

anyone able to craft a lvl 50 piece of leatherworking gear for me?

[heavy jewel]

are rdm and summoner usually the best solely due to the fact they have revive?

[faint flare]

In progression while Learning it's nice

But in farms, you're not raising

[knotty lily]

Might have better luck in #chaos-recruitment or even shouting in a city like Limsa, if you can

[heavy jewel]

which role typically has the most enjoyable mechanics in most fights?

[humble crane]

yeah i tried that for a bit so i thought might as well give this a shot lmao

[faint flare]

Depends

Ranged get full freedom of movement

[leaden ginkgo]

why is univeralis down rn anyone know

[faint flare]

But they're the mechanic bitches

We send them to do mechanics so melees don't have to

[knotty lily]

That depends on you and on whatever fight you mean** mostly I'd think, but lately a lot of mechanics target all party members anyway so it matters less and less

[boreal storm]

There’s this one stormblood fight that tanks love

[faint flare]

Whenever possible

[heavy jewel]

like when i played tank i missed out on a lot of cool mechanics to do in fights so far

but i'm trying healer now

[jade condor]

Dont forget the phys ranged tax

[knotty lily]

See above for the glam link to browse thru and help decide

[heavy jewel]

is healing the most difficult role typically?

[sturdy mango]

Okok ty 😄

[nocturne wyvern]

Difficulty of healing to me has always depended on the rest of the party.

[faint flare]

To learn, yes..but once you know how to heal it's pretty braindead

I just turn my brain off when playing scholar

[nocturne wyvern]

When I have a party that doesn't stand in bad I can just regen the tank and spend most of my time dpsing.

[heavy jewel]

@faint flare is that the same for all roles though?

[faint flare]

Yes

[knotty lily]

Healers have the extra job though, of healing and pumping out DPS at all other times and its just

Something DPS and tanks arent usually used to doing

Tanks and DPS get to tunnel a bit more on just the two, "mechanics" and "rotation"

[jade condor]

Also reacting to Super and LD

[heavy jewel]

like healing so far seems much more difficult than dps and tanking i've only healed coils so far though

[west idol]

is there a way to avoid world map to show up when i click on a quest? like, i wanna have it show directly where i need to go instead of having to click twice

[nocturne wyvern]

Just remember not to take any garbage from your parties. When you're a healer that means it's your job to decide who lives and who dies.

[jade condor]

If they die, they die.

[heavy jewel]

got ninja, gunbreaker, and astro to 70 now as my classes and almost through HW

[knotty lily]

It also depends on the person, a "Healer Main" will find it way harder to DPS or Tank sometimes if they've been playing WHM for 6 years straight and dont have the muscle memory. Muscle mem is a big part of what drives people to pick a main role

[heavy jewel]

trying to decide which to take to 80 first

[jade condor]

Just go with what you find the most fun. There barely is a meta so you can literally do anything.

[nocturne wyvern]

High level queues will probably be faster as healer.

And I prefer to level through dungeons but that's just me.

[jade condor]

Except Ice Mage. Dont do that.

[heavy jewel]

i'm just worried i'll miss out on a lot of the cool mechanics if i pick the wrong role

[knotty lily]

Not sure on this one, just tried it and I see what you mean. I couldnt get around it, sadface.

[boreal storm]

Just redo the fight

[jade condor]

^

[west idol]

rip, alright then

[jade condor]

Tank has some cool mechanics later on down the line post HW to contend with.

[knotty lily]

Dont think of it this way, you'll always have something to do. Pick your role based on comfort and excitement to play it, whether you wanna focus on H/T/DPS

[heavy jewel]

alright ty

[faint flare]

Mechanics get more party wide later on

Like everyone having a role in X mechanic

[knotty lily]

Theres almost enough exp floating around for players to level two jobs up to 80 at the same time, so consider trying your hand at that if you feel you wanna try out more things

[nocturne wyvern]

Most of the really crazy mechanics tend to be something that hits the whole party.

[heavy jewel]

i'm still so conflicted i like all roles, tank i love the fact i can control the enemies movements and i'm the one they care about, healer i love being able to control who lives or dies, dps i love being able to move while attacking and got more interesting abilites. gahhh maybe ill just level them all equally even though it will take much longer

[cunning loom]

you get a mount for maxing all healers/tanks/dps

[jade condor]

Thats the beauty of this game. Nothings stopping you from doing that. So have at it.

[boreal storm]

Basically everyone has multiple jobs leveled

[heavy jewel]

work.. work is stopping me

[jade condor]

Dude...same

[heavy jewel]

which role gets blamed the most for losing? healers?

[dawn gazelle]

niiiiiiiiiiice u

[knotty lily]

In endgame, its not roles that get blamed

[dawn gazelle]

how do i change my hair and eyes to look like this?

[knotty lily]

Its the individual players that do

Again why its so important to focus on individual skill

[heavy jewel]

are healers usually more respected though cause they have to make up more for other peoples mistakes?

[dawn gazelle]

i think so

[jade condor]

Sometimes, depends on the other players.

[dawn gazelle]

they also fill a lot of qs

that would never get filled

i always get comedation as healer

and always give it to healers/tanks

[jade condor]

Some people just dont realize that healers control if you live or die and just expect healing while they stand in an avoidable AoE.

[dawn gazelle]

LOL

[heavy jewel]

is it generally better to leave a dps dead for a while and save quickcast incase a healer or tank dies in most cases?

[oak ice]

Drop the "healers decide who lives and dies" mentality

[patent kernel]

How do I go about finding and join a Hunt LS? I've tried shouting a few times in towns. I want to farm out Allied Seals for Grand Company glamours.

[boreal storm]

If you can revive someone, do

[heavy jewel]

its more like "healers are the reason you live" and its your job to make it easier

[faint flare]

You should never expect people to die

So raise them whenever possible

[knotty lily]

#resources message

That might help, not sure

You sure you did tam tara

And not another dungeon

[heavy jewel]

there is a hard and normal version too

[dawn gazelle]

ok

[heavy jewel]

you probably need normal

so question

how do i change my hair color

and eye color etc

?

[nocturne wyvern]

Unlock the aesthetician side quest.

He let's you change the look of your stuff for 2k gil.

And yoy can't do hard mode without doing normal first

[dawn gazelle]

i mean my hair and eyes

and stuff

where do i find this

[heavy jewel]

eye color doesnt

[leaden ginkgo]

ok i have been googling this for 20 mins and cant find the answer. how do i remove my chocobo from the stable?

[twilit arch]

nvmind im stupid

i didnt realize

if im not on the level it wont show me quests there

i was looking at map

[terse saffron]

If you solo dungeons or raids do you still get the loot you would normally get or are there altered droprates/loottables

[heavy jewel]

whats a good fight to unsync for loots that sells for decent amount in hw or earlier?

[outer lodge]

So I want to get emperors new shield which is from the golden saucer am I able to just spend gil on the currency I need to buy it? Or do I have to gamble

[heavy jewel]

also is buying treasure maps and doing them a good way to make money?

[faint flare]

If you're lucky

[knotty lily]

Not many since if you can do it, everyone can do it - and chances are they already have for the last 5 years :3c
I dunno, try Nidhogg or something

Treasure maps are better if you do them at 80, but you need a group of 6 or 8 to do Zonureskins anyways

[faint flare]

And get the good loot

[twilit arch]

boss chests drop the loot you would normally get if you ran it sync'd

[errant oyster]

How do I buy an apartment?

And is it a one time fee?

[heavy jewel]

so is there no good way to make money without being level 80?

[knotty lily]

Time to gamble, thats all you can do yup. Check the MGP guide for help, lets see if the command works

[boreal storm]

Primal drops probably go for a good buck, if not then the weapons made from them

[outer lodge]

I already have a gambling addiction

[terse saffron]

So it would be harder to get loot unsynced?
For example a lvl 50 doing a lvl 20 dungeon/raid?

[solid fog]

what is this

[twilit arch]

no

it would be no different

arguably it'd be faster cos oyu can clear that lv20 dungeon quickly

[terse saffron]

Oh awesome, thanks!

[knotty lily]

One time fee, yup. 500,000 gil - should be able to just head to an Apartment complex in the area you want and walk into the lobby, buy one from the NPC caretaker

[dawn gazelle]

ok does the estinance save

[obsidian patio]

What do you mean by save?

[errant oyster]

Does it matter which one I buy, and can i teleport to it?

[heavy wadi]

no, if you leave it resets.

[knotty lily]

Storm Lieutenant Jacket? Grand Company gear available to Maelstrom players only

[heavy jewel]

do you get your money back or furniture back if your apartment, private room, or home gets removed?

[heavy wadi]

it's not like wow

[solid fog]

thanks

[twilit arch]

apartment/private room no, home yes if it auto demolishes

gil that is for the apartment/private room

[dawn gazelle]

what do you mean it resets

[dawn gazelle]

does it save my old look so i can get it back anytime later

[knotty lily]

All apartments are the same, so just pick one in whatever area you like best (Goblet, Mist etc.)
And absolutely you get a teleport to it on your list

[twilit arch]

any furnishing you have gets put onto an npc

so you can reclaim it

[dawn gazelle]

if i lose my old look forever i will be a bit sad

[heavy jewel]

oh so gil always but furniture only for home?

[errant oyster]

Thanks for info

[dawn gazelle]

so when u use the estinciencan does it save ur old appearance settings anywhere or no

[twilit arch]

there's an option to save appearance when you're in the character creation menu, can also save appearance at the login screen by right clicking on your character

[heavy jewel]

do the expansions have their own housing district or is it just the 3 grand company ones?

[twilit arch]

also the aethesician doesn't save appearances

[dawn gazelle]

shot

shoot

[knotty lily]

You cant "load up" or save an appearance at the Aesthetician, yeah

[obsidian patio]

Only the 3 starting cities and Kugane, currently

With Ishgard coming in 6.1

[twilit arch]

cos the onnly thing you can change at them is your hairstyle/colour and a few other minor thinngs

[dawn gazelle]

right

can someone help me build this hairstyle

and color

if i show u the pictures

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to guarantee the safety of my loot while doing treasure hunts?

I don't have enough friends to do them

[heavy jewel]

on that note is there a way to favorite an item so you cant sell it/delete it on accident?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

But selling to a vendor won’t immediately delete it unless you sell a bunch of items at once or leave the zone

[heavy jewel]

also is there a purshase history for market board items to see if you accidently bought something incorrectly?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[heavy jewel]

like if you bought a stack instead of one on accident

[obsidian patio]

Paper icon on the item when you open it up

[heavy jewel]

if something you are trying to buy is more than you have on you will it automatically pull from retainers?

[obsidian patio]

No

[dawn gazelle]

https://gyazo.com/52ca5fddfd32010a463f03d02e731616

which one of thes is white

[obsidian patio]

It only considers the Gil you’re carrying

[dawn gazelle]

?

[heavy jewel]

k good

[knotty lily]

Can you even lootmaster Treasure Maps? And if so, would people even join a PF? I think FFXIV NA has a negative view of Lootmaster, so I'm gonna say I really dont know

[obsidian patio]

… the one you have selected…

[heavy jewel]

so its a good idea to keep most money in retainer so you don't accidently buy something expensive

[modest laurel]

Hello! I only have ARR and HW bought and reached lvl 60 now. I can't lvl up anymore, will I lose out on exp permanently if I do MSQ now before I get stormblood?

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[heavy wadi]

yes.

[modest laurel]

oof

[leaden ginkgo]

i cant lootmaster it

[queen gulch]

hey i found out about this thing to swap an action on your hotbar for your macro, now im wondering if theres a way that, if you were to press the macro again, would it perform a different action? (in my case swap it yet again for something else) ultimately what im trying to do is switch a few abilities on my hotbar from single target to aoe and back, like toggling it

[obsidian patio]

Theoretically yes, but the macro would be extremely jank and not be good at all

Since it would only work once

[queen gulch]

well thats not what i meant, i meant if i were to press it again that would happen

[obsidian patio]

Not possible

[queen gulch]

like, you press it. it switches to a set

if you press again it switches to something else

alright

[wheat pulsar]

Is there a setting, or a link, to show areas and their general levels?

[dawn gazelle]

thx for help team

[hot eagle]

ppl mostly set up a lootrule in the chat/pf listing like all need or greed, owner need and others greed and if someone breaks it and steals loot you can report it but personally never had any problems

[heavy tiger]

where can i find the 30 day subscription purchase page?

[obsidian patio]

Only out of game stuff, and I personally can’t find any that aren’t from like, 1.0 or very early ARR

[wheat pulsar]

if you google Mogstation, and log in, it should be the first page it sends you to

[heavy tiger]

@wheat pulsar thank you !

[wheat pulsar]

no worries, it took me a while to figure it all out lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Ig i can try thanks though

[heavy tiger]

yup aha

[jade condor]

Mogstation is the true ultimate of FFXIV

[heavy jewel]

are moogles a beast tribe?

[warm summit]

I got an email saying I have a payment due soon

I used crysta to buy my sub will it autocharge my card for the crysta for another months sub?

[opaque root]

dumb glamour question I can't seem to figure out, even after watching a couple of videos.

I am not one who really cares about glamours, but I love the goon early class quest armor.

Obviously at level 70+ I dont wear it, but what should I do with it so that it is a glamour option for when I get level 80+ stuff? Is there somethign I can do where I can store it someplace not in my inventory/AC?

[warm summit]

I can't seem to find how to confirm or deny the autopayment on mogstation

[faint flare]

It doesn't

You need to add crysta

[warm summit]

ah perfect. I want to drop my sub for a little bit . Thanks ❤️

[obsidian patio]

The Armoire in the inn can hold the level 50 job set

And stuff in the armoire can be directly accessed from the glamour dresser

[opaque root]

And then I can toss it?

[obsidian patio]

You toss it into the armoire

[thin tree]

Hey, I'm currently Second Serpent Lieutenant in the Grand Company but the NPC I'm getting my upranks from tells me that im not eligable for another uprank yet. What do I have to do to continue upranking?

[opaque root]

Ahhh, groovy

Much appreciated

[faint flare]

Squadrons

[old smelt]

Question, there is a 60 Day Game Time thing. Whenever that hits zero am I still able to play the game?

[faint flare]

Nope

[carmine ore]

Moogles are a beast tribe in HW

[thin tree]

Yeah I read that aswell but till when?

[warm snow]

No

[faint flare]

Clear the flagged missions

[warm snow]

There a free trial but there's no free to play

[faint flare]

20 abd 40

[old smelt]

Ah, so Square is just greedy gotcha.

[faint flare]

No

That's just how sub games work

[twilit arch]

This is a subscription based mmo

you have to have an active sub to play

[warm snow]

Whenever my gas meter hits zero am I still able to drive?

Doesn't matter

[twilit arch]

doesn't matter, choose whatever

[rough patrol]

How did you not know this was a subscription MMO?

[twilit arch]

outcome is the same regardless

[old smelt]

I was just confused is all.

[rough patrol]

GW2 and PSO2 are free if you wanna give those a shot

[feral mirage]

I have a little question ... I have, I regret it a little, bought Adventure Stories: A Realm Reborn .. The 300k Gil sounded so tempting 😛 To my question: Since I have the quest for one of the three state companies to join now "skipped", how can I join this now?

[warm snow]

Same as your starter city

Also I'm pretty sure you get more gil actually doing the msq

[twilit arch]

the msq skip automatically puts you into the one tied to your starting city

[rough patrol]

So I just beat stormblood. Besides eureka, are there other fun things to farm/unlock?

[warm snow]

Omega raids

[knotty lily]

Omega

[warm snow]

Ivalice alliance raid series

Post sb msq is the best of sb imo

[rough patrol]

Omega is the 8 man savage raid right?

[old smelt]

Welp, I'm just gonna unsub to FFXIV if it wants me to empty my wallet. 👋

[knotty lily]

Oh, and the Four Lords questline

[leaden ginkgo]

Who asked

[jade condor]

Ivalice is required to do the alliance raids in ShB so def do that.

[warm snow]

It's not

[rough patrol]

Ok I’ll unlock that

[austere dagger]

Yo so I leveled a black mage to level 15 (the name is too long so I just say black mage lol) and I wanted to play Lancer so I did and switched but it's so hard to level the class when the msq is level 15 and all the side quests don't give much xp after level 6? How do I level second classes?

[warm snow]

Alliance raids in ShB are yorha

No pre req

[knotty lily]

Ivalice required for Bozja, do they mean?

[jade condor]

I thought it was a pre-req

Oh

Yeah

My bad

it was bozja

[knotty lily]
