The only slot available from that gear was already full, I tried to meld another materia, a 6 materia, and it showed 17% chance
So I can overmeld materia 6 ?
once
yes
after that slot is filled, you have 3 remaining overmeld slots
those will require rank 7s iirc
So if Materia has 1 slot, after filling it, I can use whatever as first overmeld, and after that , other 3 overmelds only materia with odd numbers, right?
1 slot = 2 grade 6/8
2 slots = 3 grade 6/8
^^^
Yo what level is when lancer becomes dragoon
30
30
So after filling up all available slots, the first overmeld can be any grade, and after that, the remainings are only odd numbers, and the TOTAL materia a gear can have (slots + overmelds) is always 5 , right?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
If it allows overmelding, yes
I heard level 15 is when dungeon opens is that true?
15 in the story, yes.
in the msq ye
Thanks
Story locks EVERYTHING so get on it
anytime a level is mentioned you must have it unlocked in msq so always relate the two
Nice, thxs.
How do I know a gear allows overmeld?
if it doesnt say "advanced melding forbbiden"
nice, thxs
how do I go about starting my resistance weapon? I'm on 5.3 atm.
Yeah I’ve been doing story quest only, and side quest when the game tells me to be a certain level so I could play the story quest.
once you get your first dungeon you'll have a daily roulette to help with that exp
wont take long 🙂
Nice
You need to complete the Ivalice Raid series
Which will unlock a quest called Save the Queen iirc
Ah ok thought that, I'm on the last one
I've realized only doing MSQ and sidequests, I got almost every kind of materia up to grade 8, but for crafters I only have up to grade 6, how/where can I get grade 7/8 for crafters?
beast tribes
Quest should be in Kugane right?
white scrips
custom deliveries
Just finished ShB, if I want to get some better ILvl gear do I need to use tomestones of Allegory and not poetics?
Normally I can buy better gear with poetics every ten levels
yep
I went to this forest area as a side quest to lvl up and got from level 2-6 then got clapped.Then it said getting killed lowers something about your gear?
is that not the case with the whatever the latest xpac is
yes, poetics are for catchup gear
With it
at max level there is a seperate, weekly locked tomestone for better gear
Dying reduces gear durability
poetics are just to catchup
revelations will get you 520 gear that can go up to 530 but you get a weekly cap
So time to start grinding for allegory
If it hits 0% the gear gives no stats until repaired at an NPC
allegory can upgrade 510 crafted gear to 520
Yep. Best in slot gearsets always have a mixture of Tome gear+Savage gear until sidestuff like bozjaetc come out
And the game told I could repair it how do I do that?
Allegory is 490
Does anyone know what stats directly help with how much I can heal? I'm currently in the middle of Stormblood but I'm level 80 and when I do undersized parties with my paladin friend that's also level 80, my strongest heal can only heal like a fraction of his health. Is this because I'm overleveled for my gear? (ilvl 290)
you dont need to be a crafter
See the pins for gear guides
crafted gear is a shortcut sure but it still wont beat tome+savage gear
Weapon and mind primarily
Hammer icon on map
Ok thanks
Got it, thank you!
yeah you are really low item level wise for 80
ye
I can’t wait till I level up the lancer
a few upgrades will have you healin just fine but preferably a full upgrade lol
||there is a base 80 set you can get in shadowbringers for small amounts of gil|| @ low ilvl healer sry
Got it, thank you! I gotta do more MSQs then haha
^^
So for me, the next step is get to 5.3 on ShB
Alternatively you can buy exarchic off market but eh
And I'm aiming for 510iLvl
how do people sync emotes up when doing them?
!faq alt level
pray
!faq altlevelguide
usually gpose for picture purposes but a macro can work with a <wait>
But also (not sure about this but) i think some emotes just get synced when done close enough together
havent seen that happen tbh
And in Gpose, they just get synced
Also emotes are only synced client side
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6Oxsm_WAgw
so this is just really good timing

Cause they start playing from.the start when yoyu load them in
if everyone used a macro with a <wait> or w.e it'd be the best bet i imagine
yeah but how would you sync the start of the macro or does macro have a start at server time command?
starting with a wait.5 or w.e forces the server to do that so..probably the most accurate outside of "3,2,1, go"
Countdown shows for everyone
in the group ye
communication of some form is going to be required to pull that off...~~or a third party program and a bunch of accounts ~~
how do i get approved skybuilder materials?

Gather in the diadem then give them to the approver near the entrance npc
Or waste gil on the market board
what is the diadem?
can you disable the icon of a spell on the cast bar? I tried going here
and i think it might be "display element" but it won't let me click it off
Sadly no
can I play the trial version with my friends on the ps4? I'm on the pc, also what's the game size on the ps4?
It's crossplay
Same as PC, which is around 60gb or so for the full game
ok cool! thanks!
Am I completely boned MSQ wise if I didn’t pick up the hard versions of the Ifrit, Titan and Garuda trials?
You need to do those to continue the story, yes.
You’re not softlocked
Gotta go back and do them

Oh no
If a fish (from ocean fishing) has a green background, does that mean it can be turned in for scripts?
No
No
Background colours are a bit arbitrary
Alright just thought I'd check lol
Except they’re not there? On Back and Forth MSQ wise so 2.4
They are
Yeah they are
what were the websites people used for looking up gear for glams
Go to the Waking Sands
eorzea collection, generally
i remember there was one that had a list of shared models
Whew I got really worried for a second
What gear type of stats does dancer want on its gear?
like you know how they have fending for tank
healing for healers
Which word does dancer want please?
Aiming, generally. Dexterity.
Many thanks 😄
I know trials give mounts or is that the EX version?
Extreme
Question: the pre order for the new expansion will include previous expansions right? But not until november?
some early ones do not have mounts but ye
I currently only have base game and heavensward and idk what i should get once i finish HW
hello! does the complete edition include the base game too?
afaik it's includes the expansion only
Complete Edition include the new pre order or no?
yess, ARR until shadowbringers
nope
you can get the expansion until shadowbringers while it's still on discount
is there anything after shadowbringers? ( sorry I dont know anything about the game 😅 )
Endwalker in November
Can i Buy Complete if i got the base game 4 free a while back? The 30 days sub seems like a good deal considering what shadow bringer costs by itself
the new pre order "Endwalker"
No
if you already own the base game, you won't get 30 days again if you buy the Complete Edition for the same platform
U g h
Endwalker comes out on november 19
thank you!
Im asking this just to be careful, When switching gc affiliation do u keep ur gc rank?
your old rank is stored in case you ever go back
(early access)
but you'll be bottom rank at the new GC when you join it
ahh ok thanks
Your squadron carries over btw @tardy thorn
^
What is the reasoning that the Pre Order wont unlock shadowbringer until november? Software limitations?
you can search it up on google about its location and spawn rate(?)
Seems weird
pre order only unlocks the endwalker expansion
it's so that there's still a reason to order Shadowbringers for now
It says it unlocks prior expaz
the complete edition is supposed to be online download right? ( asking because its asking for shipping address)
btw can someone from EU help me create an account for my friend? lol
Pre Order description says Shadowbringers is included but only in november not now
oh
Like it unlocks prior expansion
this maybe
I dont get why they cant have it effective now
Endwalker will include Stormblood and Shadowbringers
But you do not get access to them until Endwalker comes out
refund
They offer refunds?
It's also because if they did that, then that would be like 6 months where the game couldn't be on sale
because the preorder is 100% going to remain the same price the whole way
The complete edition could still be on sale
since the expansion are not out yet i think u can get refund (?)
They could have $40 now instead of my $15 lol
the rest, as long as u dont open the activation code u could also get a refund
Makes me wanna just take a break til november and skip buying SB
Dont u get the earring now tho
If u get the earring now how come not the SB
yes u'll get the earring
dunno
Its all softwate
if it was included, then people back in May would have been in the same situation you're in now
they wouldn't want to buy ShB because the preorder of Endwalker would be just around the corner, and their purchase would've been a waste
Yeah exactly
no matter what, someone's gonna be in that situation
Sorry, I missed your message yesterday. I don't upload my logs to online
what do I do when I cant find a party for a main quest dungeon? I'm a dps, should I change to tank?
It's been 20min already xD
Tank is hard when you dont know the dungeon imo
if u've waited for hours and still couldnt find it then prob people are asleep
-boop-
Is your duty finder searching for French and German players?
Make sure you’re buying PC download
What do you mean ??
!faq dflanguages
it does say PC download in the title
What do u get for completing Alexander Gordias savage?
is it just address or shipping address
Thanks. I'll just select them all
just address and phone number
i think u do need to put your address iirc
How do you unlock Ramuh EX? I have all of them unlocked except his
dyeable versions of the gordias gear and a mount
do the quest
his unlock quest is in gridania unlike the others
Ohh so his is in gridania. Thanks!
so far the only thing I dislike about this game are the quests that require you type stuff out and it's case sensitive
I love those
Fun on patch day seeing everyone struggle to type “smoked fish from Isari”
So I want to play healer. WHM seems almost too simple and from what I've gathered astrologian is a lot harder but doesn't interest me anyways. How hard is SCH
my favorite is/was "Feo Ul"
I just did that one lol
snae ling
You didn’t think it was “feo ui” did you 
just remember that it's not feo ui 
feo oui 
Can I use say tank gear on my healer using glamour prism? or only other healer/all classes gear?
only stuff you could normally equip on that class
oh okay
you can't glam fending gear onto healing gear
I wouldnt call WHM "Too simple", not at higher levels so you're still welcome to give it a go. AST I also wouldnt call "a LOT harder", just marginally.
SCH is definitely in between them but you wont know if you like it unless ya try it, you know?
are you able to remove or move the text dialog from bosses?
i dont see an way to do it in teh HUD
Ya I get that. Does sch Pet have any positionals or its pretty much where youre standing
where can I find my one time password?
I dont think you need to micro your fairy if thats what you mean, but I'm not a SCH player so I cant speak to it much.
The fairy abilities are centered on the fairy
generally speaking, you won't have to micro manage her at all
thats what i was wondering. ty
at what rank can i unlock zone 3 of zadnor?
If you set up the Square Enix Soft Token App, or a third party Authenticator (MS, etc.) then there.
Or, a Physical Token if you ordered one.
It can come in handy sometimes, if for example you want to drop a regen on the melee and tank and the ranged is a bit too far away
If you don't have 2FA set up, then leave it blank
22 or 23
is the square enix account and a square enix store account 2 different things?
So if i buy the boost potion for stormblood story does it automatically skip the story of 4.0 or 4.5?
what should i spend my tomes on? im in HW and dont need gear
yes, you link them in the SE store account settings
so complicated lol, should have just bought it on steam
!faq poetics
thanks!
how come when I put my games code into the redeem code on square enix it doesnt work?
hey what version of ||tomorrow and tomorrow|| or whatever plays during the ||exarch reveal scene||
got a pin anywhere in the server that explains some easy ways to farm Revelations?
I'd like to farm them some now that the cap is 900.
ping me when you respond I have to brb
How many raids and such are at level 60?
Which game code are you trying to redeem?
And where?
does anyone know how to disable the huge white dialog text boxes that show up during combat? ive tried disabling both popup and flying text but it still shows up
I've figured it out by now, thank you tho
So pay attention to it
Im bard what do i put my refinery points into for shb relic weapon?
Follow your stat priority
ive only ever seen dialog text in it
The dialogue text is relevant to the fight.
In solo instances it tells you what to do
^
I’m only level 70 but I think at 60 there’s the Alexander raids and alliance raids riot
And can tell you what to do yeah
you can only create a new character on certain servers?
alright well is it possible to make it smaller? right now its huge and makes it incredibly difficult to see or target things
Like 75% instructions, 25% fluff
Ah, just those two then, like Coils and Crystal Tower?
Can't be edited at all
is it possible to mute the music only in the gold saucer?
You can create a character on any server that isn't Congested status or temporarily locked.
oy vey
"Oh no Warrior of Light, this mech seems to be protected by some sort of magitek barrier, go find the generators that have to be nearby" etc @urban juniper for example
If a server has a temp lock, you have to wait until the server is less busy.
Or pick a different server.
why is character creation unavailable on all the servers on the launcher then?
Every level cap always has 12 8man raids, 3 24man raids and 7 extreme trials at least
Cause there's way too many players on atm with the wow players jumping ship
is it just a visual bug then?
/the server status takes a while to be updated
Most of the servers on NA are currently temp locked.
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.
It just means at the point of the status being refreshed there were too many people logged in at that point
So it shows it as being too full
ah so basically all the servers are full now
Can I use glamour plates on retainers?
Kinda Rillos
Only on NA
If you look at the site I linked, you can see which NA servers aren't overcapped right now.
Since it's based on total amount logged in you can just keep trying and probably get in eventually and also try at a later time in the day @crystal venture
I just mean storylines, tbh. Not number of instances. I don't want to miss something before going to the next level bracket.
sounds good, ty guys
Or you can wait until off hours (usually like, 3am-6am EST) if you have specific server you want to join.
Oh for storylines, 8-man raid, 24-man raid, trial series. There a couple of questlines I'd recommend on top but it's very specific stuff
Asking for someone who isn't here but any idea why the Hunting Log is greyed out? They're a CNJ and already did class quests up to lvl 15.
You can't miss anything. You can always go back and do things later except for like, limited time seasonal events.
I know, I just like having all of the context of what came before before seeing what comes after.
That's a grand company section, has nothing to do with conjurery
Are they currently using a conjurer?
Yes current a Conjurer
They aren't looking at the conjurer section
Yes the problem is CNJ Hunting Log is greyed out
They can't access it
Is it? Kinda hard to see tbh
Was CNJ their first class?
I don’t think it is grayed out
Yeah because it only shows classes you've unlocked hunting log for
Can I use glamour plates on retainers?
how do the servers work here? if I create a character on one does it only work on that one? can I play with other people from different NA servers?
Plates no but you can give them glammed items
Levelling question, at level 67 how much xp would a level 67 dungeon give in terms of percentages?
What class did they pick when they started the game though?
You que for dungeons with everyone in the data centre and you can visit other servers in the data centre with a few minor restrictions
You can do content with people in the same data center. They are planning on cross data center travel but it's a some time away
Did they complete the level 10 class quest with that class? @polar badge
Yes otherwise they wouldn't be able to do conjurer? Right?
You need to do.job quests for your STARTING jobs
They boosted SAM
Job boost stuff
Yeah, it's super weird
Fuck boosts
data centers are Aether and Primal right? so does that mean if I create a character, it will only be on Faerie lets say? and not anything else in that data center?
yo are all trials just a one boss fight thing?
Aether, Primal, and Crystal are NA
Yes
Just joined one expecting 60m time slot and we bopped the dude in like 3 minutes
If you made a character on faerie you can still do content with other people in your data center and you can visit other servers in your data center but with some restrictions
but is my character shared within all the Aether servers? or just that 1 specific server within Aether?
Faerie is...aether so you'll play with everyone in Aether but not any primal or crystal playerd
And you can visit other aether servers
I see I see, thanks !
You'll be restricted to things like only Free Companies and using your retainers on Faerie, but you can play with people on all of the other Aether servers.
hey so im kind of confused is ff14 still subscription based?
Yes
hello may i ask what is the best stats for the warrior relic weapon plz? ^^
but you also have to buy the game?
Yes, but there's a free trial if you haven't ever played the game that's unlimited time and up to the end of Heavensward
Yes and it will remain so for the foreseeable future
Yes
There is a free trial infinite time up to the end of the first expansion though
I have no idea what retrainers and free companies are but okay haha
Crit>DET>SkS
ahhh i see thanks i was kind of confused
tysm
Game comes with game time though so it's lowkey kinda like just buying a sub
Hang on
im enjoying the trial a lot so i was looking into buying it
!faq warbis
ye thanks
Tentative.
Use the !faq tankcalc to challenge these sets.
Prog sets:
2.38 GCD - Chicken Fettuccine
2.43 GCD - Smoked Chicken
Emerald Weapon is a big increase use it.
BIS sets:
2.37 GCD - Chicken Fettuccine
Some TNC melds for tiering
2.38 GCD - Smoked Chicken
Unlucky stat tiering, lower dps than 2.37 GCD.
2.43 GCD - Smoked Chicken
Some TNC melds for tiering
Nobody even attempted to answer me on this so I tried looking around the server myself for some pins on getting Revelations but I can't find any.
Hi I am stuck on the level 20 alchemist quest it says i need a materia-enhanced grim. I made the grim and went to a materia melder but none of the things i have can apparently be put on to the item
Any help greatly appreciated
Hunt trains
is there any differences between the servers? like lets say one of them is heavier on RP and the other is heavier on raiding? pvp? or they are all pretty much the same
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
See the section on notable worlds at the bottom here.
Need lower grade materia. Materia has item level that the gear needs to be to be slotted
Outside of that, there's not really any difference.
Thank you!
where i can find a guide for ARR Relics?
!faq zodiac
hey what's with the hunt that usually people shout in chat?
it's that similar like the one on hunt board?
Hunt trains?
what's the best option for leveling 56+ do i just keep running dungeons around my level? i'm a red mage
yea
Those are for A and S rank hunts, the ones that require at least a full party for.
does that drops a lots of nuts
Yes
Yes
woa
And tomes
interesting
One of the main ways to cap tomes
Hey! Not sure if this is the appropriate channel to make this request, but my friends and I have created a new resource website directed at all the new players coming into the game. It has a ton of helpful info / links / and other explanations on all the different aspects of the game. (we also love feedback on what people would like to see added)
Was wondering if we could post the link in here?
then i'd prob should get in one of em next time
That'd be something to run by the mods, probably.
Maybe the admins.
Do the WT Weekly tomestones count for the cap?
guys i bought shadowbringers and dunno how to play it (help me) :3
did u activate the code yet?
Do you own the base game?
ye
Does the Bozjan gear have an accessory line I can buy?
but don't know how to change the code
Okay, then you should have gotten a code for Shadowbringers.
Just enter that on the mogstation
how da heck do i ninja properly 
It will add the license for Shadowbringers to your account.
It's cumulative, not a replacement.
Ah, is there a good source for same strength gear?
Revelation tomes
oh ok thanks @open coral ^^
Or Eden promise gear/Exarchic
Fair, tyvm
What dungeons are available in the levelling roulette? Is it only sastasha?
All leveling dungeons that you've unlocked.
Should I upgrade my Lancer to a Dragoon now (currently Lvl 36 but I'm a few levels over my current MSQ quest) or should I wait until a later point (ie: When I finally start Heavensward)?
All non level cap dungeons
So any dungeon that isn't level 50/60/70/80
Why does it only say 16?
It's mandatory to upgrade
Now
That's the minimum level required to do leveling roulette.
Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up
So, start the Dragoon job quest next time I play?
Yes
OK
Thanks for the advice!
I'm still new to the game (and FFXIV is the first MMO I've really sunk time into (unless Planetside 2, the Destiny games, or The Division 1 count))
I'm looking to help my younger cousin get into FFXIV but his parents don't want to let him sign up for an actual debit/credit card. Is it possible he can use a reloadable pre-paid card to pay for the game + monthly sub?
XIV's system for class > job progression is a little unique, not just in MMOs, but in games in general.
It's something that trips up a lot of new players.
I don't know about using a reloadable or prepaid card for the sub, but there shouldn't be any issue using one for the game itself. The sub he can buy gametime cards or use crysta (which I'm pretty sure he can buy with a reloadable card).
Thanks for all the insight
Is there a way to search clothes with specific looks, like having accents of red
Hey where would I find out a PoTd question? unless I blind I can't find one
I dont have a friend who could refer me in that friend code. That can help any of yall?
You can ask here.
As a red mage, why can't I use fleche and contre at the same time since there is no gcd?
Such Honor ❤️
I wouldn't know that, as my only MMO experience prior to FFXIV was playing a WOW trial for a couple hours, getting bored and then leaving bc of the boredom and lackluster story, playing SWTOR for a few hours before the combat got tedious and caused me to quit, and playing ESO intermittently for a few hours every year or so
Oh, and a bit of BDO as well
How long with a ok group would it "roughly" take to get 50-200 floors?
Let's say on average amongst everyone
Assuming a baseline level of competence and efficiency, maybe 20m/10 floors, so maybe about 5 hours?
In order to get the glass apparel you must reach floor 200, can i stop at 100 and pick it up at a later time? as well as floor 150?
As long as you're doing it with the same fixed group, yes.
you can take a break every 10 floors
Awesome thank you

i go to the collectible apraiser in limsa and the ones i have are not there?
hey guys, i just unlocked the Squadron feature. Whenever i level them up enough, can I pretty much just stay AFK in the dungeon and let the 3 of them auto-win it for me?
Wanna use it to level up some jobs while at work, lol.
No
I did Unukulhai triple triad quest after shadowbringers finished and I hear his story continued in Shadowbringers? Where does the quest start?
Squadrons require you to command them
Squadrons are dumb and need a leader
Trusts are the same way
You have to at least direct them what to attack
And guide them through the dungeon
Complete all the role quests and do the yellow quest that appears at the crystarium pub. Its a chain from there that involves him
Thanks man
i see. Thanks
I need to finish fhe caster dps one
nobody said to me there's 4 role quest
Poor ranged dps, they got scuffed so hard
No role quest for them 
They get one next expansion
Does exp bonuses from food stack?
With other boosts yes
There's role quest on next expansion? I thought we going back to good old job quest?
Ok
We are in Eorzea after all
Role quests are Continuing
And probably will forever
Cause we have alooooooooooooot
whats the best place to get some varied glamours early? just buy from vendors? im spending all my time at the golden saucer trying to get those XD
Of jobs
Yeah make sense, guess they just nake an unique job quest at max level
Reaper and sage will get 70-80 job quests but that's it
Just like Dancer and Gunbreaker 
how can i open the doors
I want more of my dancer waifu
where is the enginners and twine
Twine is the aetheryte
Past fan fests have been every year, or only before new expansions?
usually how many are there and in which countries?
5 if you want to be real technical. one for eu/na/jp, cn/kr get their own fanfests that are held at different times from the eu/na/jp
NA is in the US, generally Las Vegas. EU has been in paris/england iirc, and JP is ofc in japan
for US only in 1 city ?
in Europe, are there more than 1 ?
No, there's only one.
It's been in Paris and London in the past in different years.
EU is just a much larger general region.
Even if the covid situation gets better in the following years, is there a chance the future fanfests will still be only online? (maybe it costs less or stuff like that?)
very unlikely that it will be online only
They like to have them in person
While the main point of the fanfests is to announce the next expac
that is not the sole reason for them
they are to be...festivals
YoshiP even said this year that he missed meeting all the players in person.
i wish i could attend a fanfest but straya 
Quick question out of curiosity, how does an expansion release happen, are the servers down for a while and when they open back the expansion is live, or is it a simple hotfix unlocking the next MSQ quest without having to DC ?
24hr maintenance
in PS4 is it possible to download it before the maintenance finishes?
When I was leveling up my first job, I unlocked Palace of the Dead and never did anything in it. Should be I be utilizing it for my 2nd jobs to lvl up or something? I still don't really know what it's even for.
It's like a convention.
They do panels with the dev team, and have special FanFest-only game events.
Yeah but you said its in eu us and jp
Yes. They're each about 2-3 months apart.
So it is like a tour in a way
A tour would imply that it was a continuous thing.
But it's not.
They do one, then the next one isn't for a few months.
Ah got it 
And each FanFest is only two days long.
Where can I get starting gear for a new class? Just picked up Red Mage but I have no gear 😦
You should have gotten a chest when you picked up the job that had a full set of gear.
Open coffer
Alternatively, you can use tomestones of poetics to buy appropriate Ironworks gear for RDM
Oh, I just logged off to go check stuff, that coffer will have rings, all the gear, etc etc?
Just left-side gear
Achievement, mount, gameplay experience. Floor 51-60 spam is a good alternative to level up DPS class since dungeon queues are pretty long
Does it matter if I start Palace with my main job, SMN 52 vs like my LNC 16?
No
Hello
Question, how do I re-enter a set of levels in PotD?
Im at floor 50 as a Black Mage.
You can only re-enter PotD from level 1 or level 51.
There are no other checkpoints.
Got it, thank you!
The 51 start point only unlocks after doing a nearby quest
Both are viable, don't worry. The only difference is by floor 50 your job will be level 60, which class stops getting new skill past level 50. But when spamming floor 51-60 for xp, your LNC will benefit most from the exp
Does anyone have an elemental gear of maiming guide for eureka?
do i have to learn thief to learn ninja?
Alright this is a Eureaka related question
Yes. You unlock ninja at 30. It basically introduces more skills
But where's the option that allows me to upgrade my +2 into Anemos? I have the feathers and the +2 weapon but I can't seem to find the exchange option
1-80 how many hours its take if you are a pro mmorpg player
Ah ok nvm
Depends on if you skip all the cut scenes(Which I do not recommend)
At that point you might as well buy the boosts to skip to 70. Then it's like maybe 10 hours? (Once again, do not recommend.)

so you buying boost to 70 and then you lvl by your self to 80 for around 10 hours did i understand right ?
Does anyone know the theme that plays during the second half of the 5.5 trailer(where it shows lunar stuff)
It's honestly a shot in the dark, but I don't think it would take more than that.
Hi I accidentally sold my RDM wand.. how can I purchase a new one? I am only lvl 51
Just buy an ironworks one with poetics
You could try the marketplace, or weapon vendors
Can anyone tell me the name of that soundtrack that plays as our character ||walks in to defend Tataru in the trial by combat||?
You just gotta progress to hydatos
Hey tiny wonder, what's the "allegory crafter mat" you buy?
which weapon vendors? the one in gridania don't have it
Is it the 20 tomes one?
Sorry to specify
If i recall, each tier of Crafting uses a different set of Tomestone mats. Is the current highest one, the 20 tomestones one?
You can buy one in Ishgard, but that's it.
You can buy other ones on the marketplace which are based on the Primals
@hexed cargo what about i start at 1 lvl to 80 lvl but skips scenes ?
Does the leveling roulette still provide a lot of experience at Level 50 for the first one of the day?
It would take a lot longer due to the story making you do things. It would be harder to put a number on it since the whole thing takes like a hundred hours by itself
You still have to wait for parties to form for duties
Yes, it's always worth doing daily
How do I switch grand companies?
You need to be second lietenant first
then go talk to the personnel of the gc you wanna switch to
Update: I decided to start the Dragoon job questline tonight to avoid the chance of me forgetting to do so the next time I played.
Especially since I have a busy day tomorrow
Has anyone ever had an issue where you only lag in Ex Trials?
Im doing EX Titania for the first time and I keep getting random lag spikes and this has never happened anywhere but here
somewhat misc. question, but are there any rank 6 aggressive/passive mobs or enemies in the game? never came across one past rank 4 lol
Which expansion are u in
shadowbringers
What does Diamond Dust (the item) do?
I have one more question before I get out of this sever's hair tonight: This is more preemptive, but as a Steam player, could I buy and play the Mac version if I wanted to?
U can turn them in for shiva weapons
like 5 of them
Just wondering. I know the Steam and SE Store Windows clients are mutually exclusive, but is that the case for Steam and SE Store Mac clients?
Then the item itself u get
Mac is a separate licence so yes
Stean takes the window slots
is leveling summoner painful? Also are pets annyoing?
Check primal gears tab under rowena’s sundry splendors
Not really
Thanks! I have a Windows desktop and a MacBook Pro, so it will be great to have a Mac copy when I start having to leave the house again for work/school reasons.
Pets are annoying at endgame when they actually matter in terms of getting ruin stacks and needing to get their skills out quickly for demis
thanks again for all the help!
when should i do side quest?
do the crafting class quests give any skills at all or are they all for xp + gear?
A skill and a trait, but not until SB content.
aight ty
i wont be able to skip to those quests either im assuming? i'll have to do everything before it right
Yellow quests are completely ignorable
gotcha so focus on the msq and blue ones?
what are Bozjan Clusters?
Yes
where is the camp?
I'm level 69 and just hit 2000 Allagan Tomestones, what should I be spending them on first?
Is there a !faq for scrips?
uhh what camp though?
Trying to figure out whats the best way to farm gatherer scrips for both white and yellow. Apart from ocean fishing and custom delivery
i just saw a hairstyle that needs bozjan clusters
!faq poetics
Should I do any other duty finders other than leveling each day?
Or are all gathering collectibles behind timed nodes?
gotcha, i have a level 56 smn so idk lol. I just hope the job is fun at 80
Roulettes can't hurt if you're going for XP or tomestones. Depends on if you want to invest the time for the rewards.
So like, I'll get decent experience from my first daily Trials roulette?
Not all, although some of the really good ones are.
do i have to do every book for the atma weapon or just 9 challenges from one book ?
does anyone know when does the sale end on mog station? is it in 3 hours or 27 hours?
408 votes and 236 comments so far on Reddit
how does his weapon glow while sheathed????
You have to do 9 books per weapon. It's by far the worst step (unless the anima step fucked you over). Just trade them for a new book one by one until you are told to stop.
There's a glitch with sitting while unsheathing that makes it glow while sheathed
what is anima ?
It's the place you literally spawn in when yoy enter bojza
Home base
Sorry, atma
yea i learned its shadowbringers content but i just finished arr so im far off
oh 😄 i took from midnight to 6 in morning 😄 just finished it and found out there is more and now im shocked cus apparently i have to do all 9 books
sauce
If it's any consolation, the ARR relic is by far, far the worst. Every other relic will only get easier.
/Sit
/Bm
Is potd any different when done solo?
Or whatever the one was to draw your weapon
Like is it balanced around solo?
Nope...That's why it's hard
dam, the atmas i was lucky in some zones and one zone i took like 25 fates i thought im in wrong zone 😄
So i should always do it with a party
Much harder and others can't rez or esuna you. I'd go in as a self healing class, and stock up on potions, ethers, spine drops, echo drops etc. Also if you ever die, your save is ruined and have to start over from the beginning.
Also you can keep your pomanders between sets of 10 floors which is nice.
You only solo for achievements
And this is the very very nerfed version. Fate farming for 4-6 hours per atma used to be the norm back in ARR, and you had to fight with everyone else also fate farming for the gold rating.
Does Augmented Law's Order weapon stats transfer to Blade's or do I get to configure Blade's stats again when I complete it?
Cap your attributes if they're not capped yet, and carefully train and set your roster so that you barely meet all stats.
Does the end weapon glow again? I was sad when i got the atma weapon that lost the sparks
You get to reconfigure it for free when upgrading iirc.
Ah okay, so for now I can put whatever stats on it?
is there any way to move that text boss that some bosses have? like ||diamond weapon||
Nope

It's important most the time
is zone 3 zadnor the most populated?
that is rough lol
wait i thought the books were last stage
Usually Yes cause it's the most mettle
Is PvP a good way to get exp, or does only the daily challenge Frontline give a lot?
Books are the hardest step though. The rest is just getting materia and alexandrite, getting the crafted items, and spamming circus tower with the loathsome memory quest active.
is it doable in a day ? say like tomorow?
i havent started books
just bough one
Probably not. I paced myself, so the whole zeta took me like two months. Books are a very, very, very long step. And you need like 20-30 Tower runs minimum (I also recommend doing other roulettes just so you don't go insane).
is it just duy finder stuff? cus i recently hit 50 and accepted quests left and right (how i ended up doing the bow one) and have 80is ilvl
it has a circle on the item on the top right? I believe.
It has a circle, I'm just not sure if it's top right or top left.
!faq dyeicons
I was wondering if there were any options like TTS or some sort of voice accessibility for the MSQ because I’m dyslexic and have am having a hard time reading all of the quests dialogues. I can read it it just takes me a long time and gets annoying
ty
And I really want to enjoy the story more
https://amp.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/b4zoqf/the_way_to_zeta_in_45/ Here's a good guide, but if you have the loathsome memory quest active, I recommend doing CT instead

okay i wasnt sure what the circles meant either so that helps also lol
battlestance?
when u said u have to repeat the tower did u mean the light points?
Yeah. Tamtara is faster, but CT can also get you memories and if you do the roulette, possibly Allagan oils for anima.
how to transfer between datacenters aka how to pay squenix to move between DCs ?
@faint flare got it
It’s an option on Mog Station
guide says u need gil. like 2.5mil if u dont have a gathere or crafter or know someone.
Additional services > home world transfer service
when you make a free company, can you make its abbreviation less than five letters?
Yes
But unless you’re trying to join an FC or something, you could just wait for DC travel
Hi i want the MGP Card as a macro icon, i tried this /micon "MGP Card" item but didn't work as well as /micon "MGP Gold Card" item
ok thank you!!
how to quickly reply a tell?

this one right ?
Yup
also what is the bot command that gives the ip address for the datacenters ?

oh dear
do people switch jobs (to an alt) when turning in MSQ's? im above lvl 70 on my main so im not getting the road to 70 buff anymore. the exp gains are kinda minimal
250-300 ms ping I get from India to crystal
@alpine vapor msq exp are always kinda meh
You can let your alt jobs take the exp
But take note that you still need to meet the quest requirements to be able to turn in
i just feel like im getting more value turning it in on alts bc its more xp. also wanna hit 80 asap though XD
Not a lot of benefit from hitting lvl 80 too earlier
Aside from being able to use skills in the map
Good afternoon guys,
my account got suspended somehow and there's no notification from square in my email ( like bad behaviour or violate term of service ) which make me confused why my account got suspended in the 1st place and the case kinda bit like this person https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/f5dhy4/account_randomly_suspended_no_explanation/
i already send the ticket to square, but might be like this person too (might took 3 month) is there any of you have experience or alternative sollution for this case?
The Issue
you could not log in because the service account in question not registered if you would like to log in the service please log in to the square enix account management system and register the service account
I can't level up anymore? Is it until I progress further in msq?
Did you read to the bottom of the reddit post? That guy had his account hacked, and it took him quite a bit to get it back. I'm not sure if it's the same thing that happened to you, but only official support can help at this point.
You need to buy the game/expansion (I’m assuming you are on the free trial which caps at 60)
I bought the game
Then you need the expansion
Which?
It’s free?
Almost as if you are meant to pay for the full product
@sacred crag this is not a f2p mmo lol
the better question is what's the point of the starter edition
Yeah
Lift social and inventory limitations
And the answer is it removes the trial social/trade limitations
Hi, how do you get shadowbringer's y'shtola hairstyle?
You ever test drive a car to see if you like it? Just because you say you like it, doesn't mean you get to drive it off the lot for free
I was wondering if pastry bought the starter edition lol
To be fair, Starter do gift 30 days
anyone from canada ?
so does complete
Because it contains Starter
Buy her outfit (HW) on the mogstation
so does preordering endwalker while already subbed?
The hairstyle is the same
yeah so why is starter even a separate purchase
Y’shtola’s modish attire
I see her outfit in the mogoshop (I am guessing it's this one)
does this give you the hairstyle too?
I am asking because can someone check the ping between toronto/vancouver to crystal DC ?
You want the modish one
Nope
That's not what I mean @versed bison What I mean't is why have the same restrictions as free style.
It doesn’t
why would you want to pay to keep playing the game without the social restrictions but not be sold enough to get the whole thing
It removes the trade and social limitations
I misread it then
I mean, the reason is that the free trial was extended to 60 more recently, while Starter edition has included HW since the expansion launched
whats the fastest way to grind tomestone at level 70 I just finished stormblood I want to farm a full set for2 job
!faq poetics
yeah, true. its existence just seems redundant at this point
Weird that the hair is available through the modish one and not the brave new
I dunno what's the deal, buying them either way doesn't cost more or less money
Maybe people have just enough to get starter for now
i dislike redundancy 
And want to save up for Endwalker later
like how much ping does a canadian get on averge from canada to crystal DC ?
I dunno
if you're subbed, does buying endwalker give you yet another free month?
No
no

only the original base game purchase gets you free time
how do I get centurio seals
the daily and weekly hunt bills, and also killing A Rank and S Rank hunts
ty
I just dunno whether to change DCs now or when I am definitely sure that I am going to canada lol
Ye
do i need to level any craft job for ARR relic weapon as Trial Edition?
If yes, what class, and to what level?
Thank you.
@ me
I can register favored destinations, but how do I remove them from favourites?
So to the leves quest does difficulty 1 through 4 make a big difference?
not significantly
unless you are severely undergeared, you should always be able to do +4 without much problem
when you try to favorite a 4th destination, it will ask you which one to remove
Oh, thanks!
Most of my stuff is level 50 I'm 60
So wait if I have standard edition, then do I upgrade to hw or arr collecter's edition? I wan't to buy the shadowbringers expansion
How do I find out if there is a house coming up for purchase?
Collector's Edition just mean that you get some bonus items, you never need to buy it
If you own Standard and you want Shadowbringers, you just have to buy Shadowbringers
ok
So wait, where do I go on mog station to buy shadowbringers. Link? The mog station sort of confuses me
how much is the ping between canada and NA datacenter ?
like between ontario to NA datacenter
Did you buy the game through steam or directly from Square Enix?
from square enix
How do I get a chain going in Eureka? First run I had one going, then second run it didn't? What're the prerequisites?
@lethal mist kill them fast, iirc
Shadowbringers is a little further down the page
On an average day with a wired connection should be able to get about 90 msec but that depends on the quality of connection between isp and ntt (which manages the datacenter)
I was even faster second go round cause of materia tho...
who are the imperial soldiers in arr? im playing through the msq and they keep coming up. are the part of the garlean empire?
@charred gale they are the garlean empire
tyvm! ^.^
I general, Garlemald is the only empire around
what is the purpose of a retainer?
Personal bank, selling stuff for you and farming stuff for you

At which point does the ARR end in MSQ? Only here at Heavensward?
If it helps, every aesthetician hairstyle is agnostic so you can look in character creation
Credits will roll after the last 2.55 quest iirc, and I heard you get a big HEAVENSWARD text on your screen
Oh wait misread. Yeah, but some people only refer to arr until Ultima Weapon, after that it's post ARR
All of "Seventh Astral Era Quests" is called post-ARR
it's the content that was added to the game after release but before HW
It’s ARR patch quests
You’re in ARR until you hit HW
You’re in HW until you hit SB
And SB until ShB
Are they planning on gutting ARR content or did that already happen
Im my eyes everything from Company of Heroes ingredients quest to now half way through 2.2 is braindead trash writing
how exactly does the feast work? Do only the top 10 players on each data centre get wolf collars? That's what it said on the website. How can you get the armour from it?
its top 100
I don't understand. How come when I craft something My name shows up at the bottom of the item description when people hover hover it, but when I look on the marketboard I see a mixture of both equipment signed by the crafter and some without it...
EDIT: For reference, these are items that can only be crafted.
only top 100 can get the gear and the weapon, i believe
the rest wll get an amount of wolf collars depending on their ranking (platinum etc) and exchange weapons with it

Or can I buy it on the squeenix site sale that's going on and move over with my current chara?
forced to stay on steam
Thanks 
Does anyone know what the deadline is for the 50% sale on square enix and the mog station?
For AST is Play and Minor Arcana the same thing or are there different purposes for em?
and what happens when i use minor arcana with no seals?
you dont get a seal
You get the effect of minor arcana
the sale for the game or the one for the lvl skips and otherthings?
You want to play your cards normally to get seals for divination
for the complete edition
When you have three seals and are just waiting for divination to come off cooldown
18th August
You use minor arcana for all the remaining cards you draw.
ok ty
Is there anything I can do with Ice Stalagmites other than Custom Deliveries?
No
Dang. So just toss em?
Custom delivery materials are only ever used for that specific custom delivery NPC
Single-purpose items
kk ty
Yeah toss em

You can solo it but it's challenging, there's a whole set of achievement if you do that
If you just want to get exp, do it with a group

you can only do 3 Beast Quest Per NPC ?
