It’s random.
There’s a recommended activity option but I don’t know if it shows side quests.
isn't recommended thing only for current zone
I don’t think so.
It’s random and they specifically didn’t tell us.
Your best bet is to sit and mash while you can and hope for the best. >_<
standing in ul'dah and these are all quests from my current zone without regard to my level
Side quests are bad exp
i wanna do them anyway
Yeah it sucks. The housing system is utterly broken, all they can do is apply bandaids.
what does the frowny face mean that is located beside the name of someone
they're set to busy
Busy blocks tells, friend requests, trade requests, and fc invites.
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Dictionary_of_Icons#Player_Icons
i found this page useful to learn the icon meaning as the game itself doesnt tell you
do note some of those are outdated, removed, or unimplemented.
I think I have an edited list of it somewhere as a faq
!faq playericons
nice one
is there a way to increase the success rate when overmelding materia?
afaik no.. just buy more materias
What do the bags from the Accursed Horde do?
you can trade them to shiny goodies at NPCs beside POTD entrance
quarrymill aetheryte
how is the level for leveling roulette calculated? I keep getting synced to like level 17 and it's so annoying 😭
random
pain
what matters is the roulette bonus
not the dungeon reward itself
so it won't matter even if you are queued into 4 man ifrit
yeah I guess it's just so annoying getting synced and just spamming 1-3 buttons bc I have no abilities 💀
as long as it finishes quicker, the more efficient it is
that's true
incentive to help new player or people who are leveling their new lv 1 alt
good point I forgot about that
Alternatively, you can just stick with highest level dungeons
Roulette offers daily bonus
I guess going sch in leveling roulette would be community service for all the dps stuck in queues 💛
You don't have to do them if you don't want to do simple rotations
Yeah I was just curious about it bc I like the whole roulette aspect and the XP bonus I just found it a little annoying but will stick to it regardless
even MSQ roulette is worth it to bite the bullet for...
the poetics and exp vs the time spent
I mean for leveling your alt
Yeah, just play with your phone during the cutscene
I think I would cry if I got put into praetorium 😭
Theres a limited levelling roulette in options
Its not guaranteed but it helps if you wanna run higher lvl dungeons
I remember when I first ran it one of the healers made lunch during the elevator cutscene 💀
😭
is metallic red dye not buyable on market?
se wanted to give everyone time to stretch during long gaming sessions!
Market board yes you can buy it
Isn't castrum shorter though?
Shorter and gives less exp too
yeah but less exp
that's true
Its like 30mins vs 45 mins
castrum is what you want when you only want the poteics
oh the metallic dye part just needs either one?
And you have less chance to fk up a prae run
Do the Rowena Representative shops sell different things in each location?
you mean the sundry splendor?
Yep
Thwres just this very small chance you'll get wiped in castrum in the first room. And if a new tank pulls the parade colossal, that's more time too
yeah once you finished the expansion they will available in main cities, foundation and kugane
@hearty anchor they are tagged to the vendors of each expac
I hope I never see someone pull all those ads
I really want to change my hyur Highlander into a hrothgar but I get so stressed making characters I've been putting it off for like 5 days 😭
anyone know when abouts a eureka instance gets locked? 4 hours or so?
Make an alt with the new character data and try it out first @prisma bough
can save appearance when you finished one
so true
and see tomorrow if you still want the character
I was playing around w it in the retainer editor but still 😅
That's true
they don't, although I think some of them don't offer white scrips for some reason
I'll def try that out
The different races have different emotes animations and running animstiond
oh
I confused rowena rep with scrip vendor
nvm -- limsa/uldah/gridania sell 50 items, ishgard 60, kugane 70
Thanks!
And do Allegan tombstones have a cap? Like is there a max you can earn per day or can you just grin them without a limit?
Poetics and allegory no
only Revelation has a max earn limit per week
The last one is 900 a aweek iirc. You can view it in your currency tab
You still have a holding cap of 2k each
Ahh okay, didn't know there was different types.
For starts. You only have poetics to worry about
having said that, once you've burned your roulettes farming them becomes much less efficient
it's all poetics until 80
Hrothgar and Roe have a different stance for warrior/marauder compared to the other races also.
You won't get/use even allegory until later expansions
Ah yes I really love how roes hold axes. Actually haven't seen a hroth WAR yet
Yeah, I'm in the filler after A realm reborn. Very new.
It’s the same as roe.
all I care is how hold book
I remember you can't even see poetics before you got some poetics
@prisma bough like a chad
LETS GOOO
If they don't look good during the ruin 3 animation I don't want it
Yep

Could anyone answer questions about switching accounts from PS4 to PC? 🙃
Im worried about losing my account or what I’ve played so far on PS4
Would I have to buy all the previous versions or just the newest?
just complete edition
Hmmm may wait until November then.
my gil is capped
182 votes and 33 comments so far on Reddit
So did they completely rework scholar since stormblood?
Ye
thanks
pet actions get reworked to be direct actions of your toolkit
It's on a sale rn I beleive.
and Eos/Selene are now the exact same, besides appearance
yeah it's like 60% off on se store
yeah, it was hella worth it.
I was gonna wait until I finished HW to buy it but then I got stressed the sale was gonna end and just bought it anyway 😭
yeah you can apply the code when you finished HW
if you want to save the free game time
for 2.55 before the fall quests part 2, do i need to do crystal tower?
They completely got rid of cleric stance right?
Yep
Yep
ugh, pain
Hey folks, do we get the benefits of Earthly Star (AST skill) if the timer expires on it?
technically cleric stance exists in bozja, though in name only really
yes, it just automatically detonates if it runs out of time
Bozja?
Alright, thanks!
is it a good idea to put excess gear for my jobs into glamour dresser, and what should i do with the rest of the gear that i either dont want or isnt for any of my jobs
And shadowbringers relic
Sell
- Turn it in for seals at your grand company (via the NPC)
- Sell it on the marketboard
- desynthesis it (if you have already started leveling your DoHs)
if it's white/gray gear, just sell to npc
put it in the glamour dresser if it's particularly good looking
if not white, do the 3 above
but don't use glamour dresser as just overflow storage
honestly, whites should be sold on market if you have it too and you haven't used the item
Is there anything useful I can do with the 'Immaculate Totems' I have like 87 from unlucky mount riding but all the accessories are under my i level
Save it for the mount?
Do you have the mount?
I got it in the end haha I should've just passed
Get accessories, sell them for gils or trade to GC for seals
Guys will i have worse ping if i chose a data center that isnt my region?
Can use the totems to desynth/turn in the accessories
probably yeah
Thanks guys I'll do that!
firefox shortcuts
sus
Do I want snagging on or off to catch legendary fish?
For the feast of famine quest
do i have to wait for these raids to be able to continue main scenario questlines?
yees
oh god
pain
cant fucking find them >.<
damn the queue for alliance raids outside of roulettes looks awful
it's probably a lot better around reset time though
the queues use people from the roulette to fill parties for the people queueing for specific duties
do unsynced normal raids give same rewads/achievements ?
yes
unless an achievement specifies it needs to be completed synced like the blue mage ones
IIRC those guys are on the island to the northwest
is there anyone from eu who bought the Complete Edition that's now 16 euros? I need help
!faq dflanguage
yeah not me, the other guy lambritsche that posted an average waiting time of 25m
I can vouch for the tip you just gave though
turning other languages on really did help
although it's a bit awkward in the rare circumstance where you need to explain mechanics to someone who doesn't understand english very well lmao
@ripe goblet see @patent citrus's tip above for future reference
can anyone please upload a FF XIV Quick Launcher for me?
i've bought the game hours ago, and still having problem with the launcher until this seconds. I've been changing things here and there and nothing has worked. Internet told me to use Quick Launcher. and i can't even open github now after all those changes. so i need to download it from different source
a question of speculation- do you think they will ever add interrupts to other roles?
what does this mean
only melee and tank has interrupt
oh right I forgot ranged physical also have interrupt 🤦♂️
probably not
so i guess i can use that keybind for something else on other roles
use it for addle
it's useful
usage is the same, use it when the boss/enemy is casting something
What do u get for clearing UCOB
i come from wow and almost every class there has an interrupt, so i've always used the same keybind for all
Other than weapon I’m guessing
where do i get silkworm cocoon just shows "???" on gathering log
a totem for one weapon and the achievement + title "the legend"
i guess i'll just use addle/leg sweep for roles without interrupt
pretty sure leg sweep also interrupt stuff hmm
Bet ty
oh. are bosses immune to stun?
like 99% of them
but it interrupts their casts then?
interrupts can interrupt interruptable casts
stuns won't do anything
and not all casts can be interrupted
there's way less interrupting and silencing going on in ffxiv than in wow
East shroud, be there at 1am ET
still useful, some deadly normal mob skills are interrupable
in wow all bosses are immune to stun and silence, but using silence also acts as an interrupt
!faq interrupt
most bosses are immune to stun and if they are you can't stun them to disrupt their cast
gotcha
Is there any click to move option in FFXIV?
No
if you hold both mouse buttons it should make you run
You can hold both, or press middle to start running and steering by holding right click
Hi, I'm new to the game and I feel kinda dumb for having to ask this but I've been confused
Is there a way to easily cycle through which target you're selecting on a controller?
Right now switching targets mid-combat feels really clunky
Dpad left/right
Left/right dpad or L/R1 while holding triggers
No
Oh you have soft targetting on
yeah A is target closest enemy
Turn that shit off
Just press an attack
Ohh okay
wait how do people target on controller -_--
Where is it in the settings aha
If you have the target circle turn that shit off
Character configuration > general > target > switch target circle to target select
lmao new player shit, we can find something in the settings once only to never find it again until we ask someone
Thanks!
ah been circling the mob and press x 😂
rip
wait mine is already turned off
🤦♂️
speaking of btw, I've been playing this game using a combination of my mouse and controller and it has been so comfortable, way better than being hunched over my KBM all day like I was when I was playing WoW classic

so for this setting tick or untick
Tick
i checked already but just to be sure, to progress 2.55 i have to do all 3 crystal tower raids and complete all the sidequests along with it?
yeah, the crystal tower questline and requirements should appear at the same place where you see your job quest
the "way of the lancer"
can you do MSQ when visiting another world?
yeah
So im trying to set up my mouse with keybindings but when i go in game and i press a button its registered as "1" instead of "Ctrl+1", did anyone else run into this issue?
are the primal hard modes pugable?
yeah, it's included in duty roulette
Hard or extreme?
just queue normally
Yeah, hard isn't any harder really. It is just max level for that expansion.
whats the difficulty normally Hard > Extreme >savage?
Basically
normal/hard < ex/unreal/ballad < savage < ultimate
hard is "normal" for endgame (it just means 8 man instead of 4)
ahh got it, thanks that makes sense!
havn't heard of it so i assume its coming up soon (just finished ARR initial story and onto post game now)
It is optional 50 trial
It's a side thing
ahh ok, i havnt done any side quests just working through the MQ
It's best not to get too caught up in the terminology, it's pretty inconsistent where you're at. Later on it gets better defined
ok sweet, yeah was just wondering how far i can get with pugging
btw whats the best place to look for FCs on particular servers?
at what level can i use desynthesis?
You can get through the entire MSQ with just duty finder pugs
lv 30 doh
ah alright thanks
thanks Kinger
for queue times? it hasnt been bad thus far, around 10-15 mins
where is the npc i need to talk to, to get potd weapon
i should learn how to heal it seems 🙂
Healing is interesting. If you have a good group it is kind of boring. If you have a bad group... you will either feel like a god for carrying everything or just break apart and hate everyone.
yeah so far instances ahve been pretty cake
👀
we'll see, thanks for all the info!
wall to wall early dungeon pull can be sweaty
And tanks in dps gear just taking tank busters to the face. Everyone standing in mechanics /sigh
Hi everyone! I'm a new player trying out the game and looking at a few of the jobs. I really hate static rotations and find them boring. What Jobs do you guys think I should be looking at? I'm not much for tanking, but I'm perfectly happy healing as long as there's a lot of interaction going on.
aurum vale
bard
Healers are reactionary. So are Bard and Dancer. Bard starts as archer.
AV isn't too difficult if you know how to do the first room. after that, the dungeon is about as easy as any other dungeon. I would say Dzemael Darkhold is harder than AV
dzemael is the one with 99% wasp right
If you don't like static rotations then you should probably steer clear of basically all the melee jobs, they are all pretty static. Red mage has some procs but they don't feel very impactful. Bard and Dancer are proc city.
Also, Black Mage (thaumaturge) is weirdly not static some of the time.
you talking about the wasp with final sting? that's qarn
Can someone link mr the requirement to be a mentor in ffxiv?
Dzemael has the patrolling Ahriman, who is weak to crystals
o that
I was looking at healers, Astrologian looks cool. Maybe I'll drop my Arcanist and go pick up a bow, thank you!
i didnt really have a problem weirdly enough
maybe i got lucky, kinda obvious standing on the purple path do something
when you have no mercy up
I got a question about my retainers
gathering
I got her at 1700 gathering
yet when I do a waterside exploration
the number is much lower?
oh nvm
iot went through
without a hitch now
is there no quest chain for "its definitely pirates"?
just beat sashtasha hard and called it a day?
looks like it
wow
most hard mode dungeons are handled like that
Yeah, optional dungeon unlocks tend to be like that in ARR
im disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
extreme satasha when
Hello I'm a new player, I Starter with glad but I just wanted to get rogue and later on I wanna get samurai
I've been levelling well
But now that I changed to rogue I started from lvl 1 and I don't know what to do to level up to at least 15. I usually don't enjoy side quests but if I have to do I do it
anyone faced issues paying in mogstation recently?
where can i find ppl to climb potd with up to 100?
Leveling 1 - 15 is probably best done with Fates and the Hunting Log
fates and hunting log works well until 16
You can also do side quests and PotD if you like.
Alright cool ! What's PotD ?
Up to 100 is doable just by queueing, do it at a busy time of day
is there anyway to fix Error Code: i2501
Try a different network/device, or using mobile hotspot
It is a randomized dungeon with 200 floors. Uses a separate gearing and leveling system but gives xp on completion of 5? levels.
Also disable firewall or VPN
Thanks
I haven't unlocked dungeons yet : S but I'll try fates and hunting logs
You can’t enter floors 101-200 without a premade party
Generic error message which often means MogStation fraud prevention finds you suspicious for whatever reason
yes it was my vpn ty
every 10 levels
is there a way to make these stay its a pain filling them out each time
any time i change recipe it resets i want it to stay ;/
add your character and save the stats on your profile
guys! i recently entered bozjak
any that you unlocked
what are those forgotten fragment? i see i can sell them
you can appraise them and get lost actions, abilities usable only in bozja/zadnor
so if I unlock more, there shouldbe more appearing there yea?
It’s not a cycle. Roulettes select a duty at random from those you have unlocked.
okay ty!!
yes it is random among the ones you have unlocked
oh, so how many do you have? cause i only have 2
Which roulette
are you asking about how to unlock more roulettes?
yea
Unlock more content.
thought it would be the same for everyone, so was wondering if I should go unlock more dungeons
Beat ARR
Leveling Roulette, Trial Roulette, Alliance Roulette, 50/60/70 Roulette, Raid Roulette, Guildhest, Main Scenario, PVP Roulette.. theres a ton and even more than this
Many more unlock at 50 (You can unlock PVP roulette at 30 though? If not on trial)
my mistake, i was assuming, more dungeons = more roulette
Do you only have access to leveling roulette at the moment?
Continue the MSQ and unlock more dungeons
Leveling and Guildhest are the only two roulettes you get before level 50 (other than PVP), yeah
When you unlock at least two trials you will get trials roulette
yea, leveling roulette will have like ALL the story dungeons as you unlock them
Keep on truckin
When you unlock alliance raids you will get alliance raids roulette
When you unlock level 50 dungeons you will get level 50 roulette
Etc etc
does it automatically unlock the roulettes
Yes
Yes
yes
yes
cool, cause I have 2 trails, but no roulette so jsut wanted to confirm
Leveling roulette contains all the leveling dungeons.
and no notification, it will just show up
Those are actually in your "Leveling" roulette Pocket - Trial Roulette is for 8-man Trials at 50 and above
Trials ≠ dungeons
That is not true
Ifrit and Titan etc. at level 20 and 34 LOOK like trials, but they arent real ones
You cannot unlock two trials without having many more dungeons
think you need the main 3 trials in ARR to have the roulette unlock...
You’d have more dungeons by then
those are the “normal” four man trials. actual trials are 8man
By that point you have like five dungeons at least
But yeah you should have Copperbell, Tamtara, Sastasha, Haukke... those are all MSQ dungeons and are in the roulette
and in fact lv 20 ifrit counts and a leveling dungeon in the leveing roulette
be excited if you get that one
i always am
Yes trials roulette actually won’t be available until level 50

I have all those. Where do I find dungeon roulette?
Thats "Leveling Roulette"
this one is underwater right?
ok ok, thanks!
Then you get locked out of the Duty Finder for 30 minutes
And every penalty after that keeps locking you out for 30m. (Penalty count resets on daily reset)
Ok thanks
You get locked out immediately if you ditch a duty in progress before anyone else
what does it mean when it says light party when entering dungeon?
just means it’s a party w/ less than 8 ppl
a “full party” is 8 people
Light party > 4 man, Full party > 8 man, Alliance raid > 3 x full parties
Hi, I've decided to give FFXIV a try on trial, and might buy base game if I'll like it. But I'm kinda concerned with expansion pricing since it's a good 1/5 of my monthly salary, so my question is, can you have "proper" endgame if you'll stick to base game, or you must buy it?
it's not endgame if you're not on level cap
you probably won't find people to do content synced with you, you won't get any new content etc
like there's still stuff to do, it's just not gonna be very relevant or populated
I see, so it's more of a must-buy type of thing?
there's a sale on right now, that' basically is the cost of 1 month sub, slightly more
Is this the chat where we try and get groups together, or is datacenter-channel best place for that?
if you want to play-play the game then yeah, whenever you finish the base game stuff
Ok ty
Question about the free trial; A few of my friends have just picked it up, will they be able to do duties together alone? I know nothing about the trial, They dont have anyone else to invite them to a party to do it with that way
Can free trials send a friend request?
Im... Not sure. Theyre not in game yet
If they can then yes. They need only target each other and send it. If not? Then probably no.
does yanxia count as Far east?
okay so, i just got warrior job and uhhh i dont know how to charge the beast gauge thing anyone know how?
do your basic combos
i dont know any combos
They cant apparently, thanks for the assist anyway tho!
okay thanks
and it fills your gauge if you have a spender unlocked
if you don't then its just a you-have-tank-stance-on indicator
So it seems i have to restart from level 1 again because my old account is linked to my previous psn account and i forgot everything about that.account
Last time i played 3 years ago im level 70 with ilvl 340 if i play just rush how long until i get to my old account level?
whats the summon mount button
outdated wiki, but it unlocks manipulation now
it says unauterized
Lvl 20 msq
why and how is the official wiki outdated ;o
Even if you pay for one
it's not official
Because there is no "official" wiki
oh
and it's pretty shitty in general, gamerescape is more reliable
Hello.
Question regarding Subscription on Steam.
Im on free trial, and whenever I click on 'Buy Full Game' in the launcher, it takes me to the mog station, where it tells me to buy the game on steam (I am on steam) and then shifts me to the page with the base game on Steam.
The base game is 8$ for me with regional pricing. My question is, if I sitck to steam, will future subscriptions be of the same price?
oh ok, do u know what the mission for the chocobo is called
My little chocobo
Any way to see duty finder and text notification while tabbed out?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Do I get a code for the " Aetheryte earrings " buying the complete edition on mog station? I skipped past a text box and i think it said something about the earrings but I don't exactly remember what it said.
Where exactly in the Mist do you go to buy a house.?
hi, what do you spend your yellow crafter script for?
i keep on capping, i got the level 70 set already
just bought the complete edition to upgrade from free trial. been an hour and still no email. how long does it usually take? I checked my spam folders and everything
You can't get the aetheryte earrings anymore
the aetheryte earring was shb pre-order only
Dang, alright
but if you preorder EW you get a different earring that is even better
Yeah, i was looking into that but didn't find where i could preorder it
any suggestion on what the first few things I should do as a returning player? I'm so overwhelmed I'm just sitting in the city lol
what lv are you and where are you in the msq?
I'll need to double check but I think I finished the story? or maybe not the newest one. and I had two classes at max lvl
definitely msq first then to get caught up
Spend some time reading tooltips and setting up your keybinds/hotbars. Depending on when you left things could be very different than you remember. Also don't forget to relax and have fun.
ok ill check on the msq now, and sounds good rash, thanks you guys =]
is 130 gear the max i should have going into heavsnward?
Yep
idk if it matters much even really, ive played wow for a long time but this mmo is way different so i feel so lost lol
yes, you are good for HW
At 50, 60, 70 if you are in poetic gear you are more than good to go
That gear is the best available until level 55 MSQ
Why is it that some items aren't collectable when sites suggest they should be? Beech Branch in this instance
Honestly it can even carry you to 60 if you really want
good ways of farming poetics aside from roulettes and praetorium?
Outdated sites
Collectibles are the “rarefied” items
gotcha ill note all of that, i was playing paladin but when i got to ishgard i unlocked my dark knight and leveled
it will make early HW combat easier. weapon is the most important thing vs ilvl
There was an overhaul to the system
oh I forgot, I was curious about Famfrit, is there a way to check a servers population, activity or anything like that?
Is there any point to this item at all, then? It appears on an unspoiled node, but I don't see anything worthwhile about it
It’s a crafting material
Game is too good 😦
will my weapon also increase my self sustain as drk? im pretty new at it but my healer friend says he can tell i swapped for sure so was just wondering, i had yet to get my 130 drk wep that will be done when i log on today
awesome! ty
i have full 130 "armor and accessories" but my weapon i think is ilvl 90 on my drk
Yes
yes, your sustain is based on your damage as DRK so weapon will help a lot with that
Huh. I don't see any recipes... Must be a master one or something.
Ohyah, question
alright cool that will be the first thing i do then when i log on
thanks a lot guys
Is it me, or did they now added new visuals for Tankbusters?
They didn’t
The red circle is new
did dol get changed? i dont recognize collectable screen
the red death circle is newer yea
Like in alliance raids? Yeah that’s a thing
!faq dolcollect yeah
you are seeing a collectable on a node?
Seen em in Trials and raids too
It’s only really in content like that with heaps of players though
To make it visible to the rest
No
Things haven’t been added retroactively to old trials
Circle and square busters are this expansion
I never did said retroactive changes '~' My bad if i implied it at all
Busters in raids are still very often unmarked, just a cast bar
It doesn't have the collectable symbol, but the sites I was looking at suggested that it should be. This is apparently outdated information, but, I can't see a use for the item otherwise, and searching for crafting recipe turns up nothing
Depends on fight
Just mostly muttering that it is interesting that new trend in the newest trials and raids
Huh looks like it no longer has a use
There are items like that
ohyah, speaking of.
Mini quickie side wonder.
How do you deal with Diamon Weapon's, Diamond Shrapnel?
yep, that is just trash now (the Beech Branch you mentioned)
Eg red megalocrab shell
That's aggravating, I got excited for the unspoiled node. Thanks for the help, though!
Drop the aoes where the hands are and cross over immediately
Right at the wall
small question i remembered i wanted to ask, when i started the game i completed a tutorial for "thesmith" and he gave me a armor set, i am not able to sell or delete it though so what purpose does it serve me now rather than taking up space? is there a way to actually get rid of it
Discard it
so you actually can just discard it? i guess i misread the tooltip on it
Yes
yeah it'll give you the warning because it's unique but you can discard it
ohhh okay maybe thats what it was, ive just held on to it really unsure
i do plan to level other jobs so if itll work for them ill hold on to it some
as of now i only have paladin and drk but bard looks cool
hey guys, for atma relic farming, must I get 12 stones in total? or 12 stones from each of the zones?

https://i.imgur.com/Aj1UHYr.png whats better handsaint or melded aes
well there's a caveat here
melded aesthete is better yes
but not at all needed for 99% of crafting
i500 handsaint is more than enough for most players
most?
unless you are specifically looking to craft exarchic or raid food
Also overmelded gear can get pricy. Don't do it unless you know you need it imho
^
specifically for crafting the 4* level 80 crafts, or firmament expert crafts if you're chasing that achievement
Atma weapons glow if that is what you are asking. they look super cool
namely, exarchic gear or current-tier raid food/pots
oh cool! wiki says it stops glowing at atma
are relic weapons BiS?
whats the best item to spam craft to get the white scrips? sicne you need like 4k-5k for armour/accessories and tools
For that era
at the end of each expac, yes
rarefied lemonade
Zodiac is the best for arr once it's FULLY done
It takes too long that ironworks is just better and easier
have your retainers gather the lemonettes
what do you mean at the end of each expac?
what makes lemonade good?
Old relics are purely glamour
cheap andd easy to make
because its materials are easy to get
ahh so only relics from the latest xpac is BiS
Relics lag behind when patches are ongoing for the expansion
They're only better at the very end
The shadowbringers relic is the best currently cause we're at the end of the expansion
yea the relics are best, the Atma wep from HW are some of the coolest looking relics too. i got like 4 of them for the glam
depends on your server
But it wasn't the best until it's final update
check your marketboard
which dps class gets aoe attack the earliest?
physical ranged
yep! so I'm just unlocking the glamour right, so once I get gear from MSQ in HW, I can just apply the glamour to those weapons?
bard/mch get it right away before sastasha
Yes
yep
Best to do old relics at cap
So you can solo stuff needed
You got a looooooong way to go for a full zodiac
agreed, i farmed the HW relics with my 80 for faster runs
still havent put in the time for a full zodiac
yeah, i just checked, dayum its a long way lmao
sastasha time :)
You'll spend weeks on it at level
oh yeah atma does lose the glow
even at cap?
can i do anything with peotics aside from buying gear?
!faq poetics
GLAMOUR IS LIFE THO
its so beautiful
is there something i can do to like report ... a whole bunch of bots warping around and fighting mobs through the ground in an area
like "gm come take a look at this" or something
They probably already know about them
There's invisible gms around
And they ban bots in waves
ok good
yeah i feel like they would hopefully have "consistently doing combat from positions that are below the ground and moving at ludicrous speeds" on some sort of autoreport
which relic?
??
if it's an old relic then toss them into a retainer
retainer better, or the armor keep thing in our inn room?
They can't go in there
do people use it for glamour plates?
Can’t go in there
Yes
ahh so only retainer
You can only put the replicas in the glamour dresser
great thanks
yep that is where i keep mine
ooh So i have to glamour it manually?
you can use the replicas in glam plates
Put replica in dresser, set it to plate
Hello! Just bought the complete edition on the SE store.
Im currently playing with the free trial. My question is, if I click the "Unlock The Activation Key" will it automatically start the 30 day free sub for the game? If so, how long do I get before I lose the ability to "unlock the activation key" (or well press the button to do so)
No
sorry, what's a replica?
I thought you can only get one zodiac wepaon?
You have to put the code into mogstation yourselves
Stateless versions of it for glamour
You can get previous versions
As replicas
lv 1 version of the wep with no stats
If you like a previous stage look
just for glam
AHHH, just for glam
okay that makes sense
I see thank you!! by chance do you know how long the code will last should I unlock it now? I think I want to keep playing a bit on the free trial before I activate it.
Forever
The codes last forever
there is literally nothing you can do right?
Thank you!!!
Hide out in the inn
have been doing some reading etc, can bards actually play their own music if they like?
Yes
change your chatlog settings so it doesn't show it, duty just popped so hopefully another can show you how
i meant in the sense of actually report/banning them... im kinda triggered because account got hacked recently by a bot 
They get caught and banned in waves
is there anywhere i can buy lv 60 crafter main- and offhand weapons
There should be some scrip gear in Idyllshire I would think
What do I need to solo HW EX trials? Lvl70 or an 80 ? Wanna farm em rq for Phoenix mount : $
am i missing something?
Unsynced ofc lol
doing HW relic and it says to hand in pneumite for newborn soulstone which i have
and i can trade it in to the node to get my 270 relic
but it alk to it and it doesnt do anything
need PLD lv 80
talk to it again
and geared if you want fast
i did a number of times
might be better to take 2-3 people with you
Damn they’re that much more difficult than ARR’s EX
yeah its asking me about its like atheric level or something
but it doesnt say i need to do light farming here
''Pick up the Anima quest in Azys La (near Aetheryte)
Do the 3 dungeons (LCoA Hard, Gubal Hard and Sohm Al Hard)
Farm Light and get 15 Pneumite (200 Poetics in Mor Dhona, 200 Lore in Idyllshire, 4000 Grand Company Seals at your GC and Maps (Wyvernskin or higher)
Hand in Pneumite for Newborn Soulstone
Talk to the Verification Node again and recieve your relic''
You need to farm aetheric density
The aetherical level IS light farming
the guide lied to me
I just started MCH and can only do the first two quests. How do I level up MCH faster to keep doing the job quests?
nothing about farming lights here
if you got your aetheric compass, that's where you have to farm the light afaik
i hope they nerfed it if its still 2k then thats gonna take a billion years
It's still 2k
jesus
but you get more light
just do 20x A9S unsync
Than original
easy, can be done with 3 people
They doubled light gained
!faq altlvlguide
oh i see
Can do it in like 3 hours of Brayflox hard solo
I have a question about relics. So Uhm I haven’t done ARR’s relics cause I didn’t care to I only really mainly play AST. But I saw that there are multiple HW relics? Are they just like stages that eventually u upgrade to the highest iLvl?
dont think u can do 9s w/o doing mechanics tho
You can
as a tank idk
yeah, just brute force it
A Light farn group face rolls it
is it worth my time to do all the sidequests I see or should I just do the main story quests? I'm enjoying taking my time but I don't want to end up taking forever to get to the end and not actually unlocking anything that worthwhile from the side stuff.
I did 3 people as 1 tank and 2 healers
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
thats the trash boss isnt it
if you carry 8 people, it melted under 1 min
yeah but id be solo i cant bring people lol
whos gonna join a ''hey i need my relic '' farm
okay thanks that clears it up a lot
Alot of people actually
light farming is quite popular actually, lol
People still join light parties
use anima relic light farming
i dont think it would be lol
description
Cause they're also doing the relic
up to you then, go to brayflox you go
There's even the occasional light PFs up these days
btw i come from runescape where a bunch of random sidequests gatekeep half the content in the game, that's why i was worried on missing out on stuff by not doing side content. but it seems like the game makes it pretty clear what quests lock content
if i cant solo it i'll try PF but i really doubt anyone would join lol
🤷♂️
I've been wanting to do A9S unsynced but kinda feel bad since I'm level 60, I would be getting carried
You lack damage to solo it using the relic weapon
It is soloable with full gear
But the weapon drags you down
yeah, all unlocked
i dont think so i dont see it
Just do a12 normal
just talk to the goblin guy, he'll unlock all
Then go unlock it
You unlock the Savages for each tier separately
Go finish the normal modes if you haven't then go unlock it at the npc
if i dont need the savage kill then sure
Each tier of Savage unlocks from clearing its normal mode
don't need them
You NEVER need to clear previous savage
the last time i guess was in arr
Coils Is the exception cause Savage was the story mode
i wish u could track ur current level tho so you know when your done or what not
ARR only has the one Savage tier
You can check your light via a key item
how do i unlock coils t6?
Each rune is 200 light
Clear t5 then continue the quest chain
who the quest chain from?
Why does some of the gear in my armory tell me a market sell price, but also says market prohibited?
!quest Another Turn in the Coil

market prohibited means you can't sell it through marketboard
ty yt
It has sell price and market price.
Market price is how much the npc will sell it to you
oh right, the other way around
Anyone down to run e6s on the Crystal DC?
ehi guys! it's 20 minutes that i wait in matchmaking to do the "Bowl of Embers" dungeon for the first time, is it normal? i'm a new player of level 28 in free trial. usually it takes 10 minutes to find a party. it's because i'm a DPS? the average wait time it's 6 minute so maybe i'm doing something wrong...
edit: now it's 9 minutes the wait time...
How do I unlock all the raids/EX trials or whatever else there is in HW? Just completed Heavensward quest n I only have a few instances. Remember during ARR I had like 5 or 6 trials n couple raids
Guessing they’re locked behind a blue quest

My retainers are both lvl 30ish but i dont really have them equipped with much. What are the benefits to fully equipping my retainers?
Many of the ventures have stat requirements or have better results based on gear.
Hello! After playing FF14 to early HW, I found there were many cutscenes with no voice-lines, which I thought was odd how random it was. I later today noticed a video of another guy playing same cutscenes and he had voice-lines for them. Is this some common bug that I have and any1 knows a way to fix it?
there's free companies that have specific world, do you have to be in the world they're in or is that their main one?
yes
it's normal
dps has long queues
and plus you're on chaos which afaik ain't doing too good right now
!quest Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Retells Your Story
what is wrong with Chaos data center?
anyone know basic combos for marauder/war

This is for Alex savage
i see...i guess i'll wait, thanks
Nothing
Keep storms eye up, spam storms path combo when you don't need to refresh it
i dont think i have a storms eye
Weaponskills write if they're in a combo with another weaponskill, just a tip :) otherwise yeah heavy swing, main then storms eye/path
alr
Just press the dotted outlines
Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm's Path is your main combo, to deal damage.
Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm's Eye will give you a damage boost for 30 seconds, and it can stack twice to 60 seconds.
for warrior u have 2 options u can do eye twice and path until its around 10-15s then eye
also depends on your rage and so on
IR also gives u 15s
is the storms eye a quest skill, like i get it from a quest?
I believe so
Lv50
should be ur lvl 50
its not lol
if i leveled up a doh/dol from 1 to 80 without doing job quests, is it better to wait for EW lv 90 cap to go thru the quests to not waste the quest exp or is the exp negligible?
Can Timeworn Artifact drop from any level of potd?
ok thanks!
Yes
if u want to use leves u can bet 80 in like less then an hour
is potd better than the raid for farming it?
But the drop rate is pretty bad until floor 100+
WHOA
Lol no
Is there a way to change a characters name?
yes
thanks nevia!!
10 bucks
Speedruns take 15mins
ah okay
Always look for DR speedruns
I queued for 1 and waited for like 3 hours, was like 6 in the morning though
do you guys change the keybinds for the hotbar i find it really hard to press control and (insert number) to do a skill
should i extract materia whenever my gear hits 100% spiritbond?
Everyone has their own comfortable binds
No reason not to
im on a 60% keyboard and all the keys are taken
kk
the only non taken keys are really far from my "wasd" keys
Can you be in more than one free company? 
No
Aw :c
Hi, question about chocobo coloring. If the rgb value you land on doesn't exactly match a value on the roster of colors, does the game choose the closest match or pick a random one from the same spectrum (e.g., currant purple and regal purple)?
You can turn that off?
Yeah. It's in character settings, IIRC.
It's a hassle to have off for me since I don't care to manually turn around
Ouh, might keep it on then
Hi how do I know which of these missions can get me promoted beyond second LT?
Does that actually do anything in most cases or is it just good for keeping direction? e.g. does face direction actually matter for, say, melee characters?
flagged missions are for promotions
Thanks a lot
Maybe I'll turn it off and give that a go, see how it feels
looks like i'm some level behind my main quests is that okay? i'm level 10 and doing duty call level 13
My friend was 20 levels above his, so you'll be alright :>
yes
Do people who get high DPS in savage contents avoid attacks right after they see it? My dps is very low in savages, so I'm actually practicing to attack until the last minute in roulette contents, but I get hit by boss attack at around 50% of the time.
They just have better gear
And food potions and know mechanics so well all they have to do is dps
This is a hard skill but knowing exactly how long you have and where the GCD is makes a difference. There are probably plenty of other things you can work on that is less dangerous.
It’s a snowball effect
Honestly, I have 530 gears, but my dps is even lower than people with 520 or even 510 gears.
R you using materia/potions/food?
Yes, all the time
It seems that my GCD is stopping while I do the mechanics, so I'm now practicing not to stop GCD and attack until the last minute by using monk while I level up it, but it's extremely difficult even in usual dungeons
can you run with a chocobo? like sprint run
No
Are you doing your rotation properly?
Yes, but I sometimes miss it
It's always going the highest speed it can based in your travel speed unlocked
why does it feel like endgame raiding is exclusive to people who only have friends
who have already raided
Its not exclusive to that, but even though PF CAN clear things, endgame raiding is pretty leaned towards "statics"
PF is just emptier than usual cause the tier is fucking ancient as shit
So youd have to make one or join one and.. become their friends in the process, more like
My dps as PLD is around 11.5k with echo (530 gear+535 weapon) and it's always lower than other tank + even healer sometimes, so I really want to improve my dps
statics require job-application levels
I understand monks “gotta have that uptime” but don’t die over it
Not all
im talking from im new to savage standpoint
You can get experience in party finder
i see practice runs that start at dawn and end at night without filling
Yeah PF is a good place to start, I've raided in the past (omega) with only PF
I just got to Stormblood and wondering if I can get to the npc "Enna" or is there a requirement?
seems like PF is unusable?
It is useable
Its just going to take more more more time. Also its rougher* now because the tier is old, like Vinyl said
