No, it's just lisitng 'any vendor that stocks this'
If you were to look at, for example, this
you'll see there's one intended vendor
About the augmented robe of cashmere, is there a way to dye the cyan sash?
iirc, no
damn
Or where to find the macros I would need for general HQ crafting at low levels
use more HQ mats, and use actions that improve quality
I tried teamcraft
HQ at low levels is very much luck based and using all possible HQ materials
however at low levels it's also insultingly easy to HQ mats
just quite time consuming
The FATE for the summer event is every 5 mins, yeah?
Since you simply don’t have enough CP or good enough tools to ensure it from 0 starting quality.
eh?
I'm going back and doing all my class quests because I used ishgard to 80 stuff
Oh
Use your level 80ish skill that guarantees HQ then
!action trained eye
Done
Or its name equivalent
Trained Eye + Groundwork works on basically everything at and below 70
Might need a second Groundwork for the higher level stuff
Or Veneration to buff it
Trained Eye is essentially a cheat button for HQing irrelevant stuff
lol
How much Umbrite is needed to complete a dream fulfilled? Read the guide and it doesn’t mention it
between 60-80
60-80
thx
hi, can someone tell me where this is taken
That looks like the port on the other side of camp bronze lake
what area?
Does it looks like Trained Eye will still be here next expansion?
yes
No reason to remove it?
nope
Make sense
It only works on stuff 10 levels below you
Yeah, it’s kinda like “We are worried players are having fun not needing to use a macro to craft every random stuff so we removed Trained Eye”
Upper La noscea
The worst I see them doing with it is not allowing it to work on Expert Recipes
I see
I’m non combat Burger King
I still haven’t crafted an expert recipe in my life before

Expert receipes are aimed at the end game crafters
And how much crystal sand? @faint flare @twilit arch
Yeah, no idea how they work
does being on the paid version not give priority over logging in on a full server? idm just a general inquiry
Heard like there is many different status of the craft
free trial users cannot queue at all
It does
o-o oh
Trials can't log in at all if they're a sizeable que
A tiny que they can
But a bigger one they cant
sizeable que is how much?
fucking legend
Like 150+ or so
150 crystal sand? 0.0
Crystal sand is the same amount as umbrite iirc
Cause it's 1 umbrite and 1 sand
For 3 treated sand for the points
Ah okay, seems painful as hell
Past the first bar you have a chance for bonus sand
Whats the best way to get the sands.
Crystal sands is the worst step of anima
yellow scrips
If you have a crafter or gatherer leveled up, then yellow scrips
same amount
What level? I have weaver at 50 and thats about it
If not, extreme primals are pretty decent to solo as a level 80
50+, but you don’t make a good amount of scrips right at the start
Welp I guess I just buy the extreme primal drops from MB
Buying moonstones through GC seals on the side for now
I personally recommend buying out the cheap ones and manually grinding the more expensive ones
You’ll get both the materials and the drops to exchange for a bit of seals for the moonstones
orchestra music is purely for the inn, right?
If you're constantly capping poetics and doesn't have anymore gear to buy, AND you're maxed out on the required amount of umbrite. Poetics work too, but they're not efficient at all. Iirc 2k poetics give like 6 crystal sand or something after you turn in the mats
and housing I guess, but I dont have that
Yes, I think 5 for 2 sands
I did spend quite an amount of poetics getting crystal sand when I was free trial
Not a great exchange, but decent if you do stuff that earns you tons of seals like higher level dungeons
Best are still scrips
Now my excess poetics injust dump on umbrite
With the thought that I'll eventually get every relic in the game 
What’s the exact number of umbrite and sand do you need? Like 60 or 80
60 to 80, since past the first 40 there’s a bit of RNG to get extra points
60 is the extreme minimum if you got the max bonus on every sand, but that’s basically an impossible scenario
If you’re not a crafter it’s definitely a lot more annoying.
But it’s a definite tie between umbrite step and light grind for me
am I doing something wrong or am I not supposed to complete all three voyage missions most of the time?
Anyone know where I can get the Cascadia Outfit Voucher- for the swimwear clothes?
Achievement certificates at Jonathas
Oh yeah! Thanks
Voyage missions? As in FC Airships/submarines?
ocean fishing
I don’t see any reason why it would be kicking you out early, besides maybe being AFK
how do I start squadron missions?

Did you just unlock them?
idk if I did or didn't
Did you do the quest that unlocks them and have access to the squadron room?
i don't remember I may accepted it without paying attention
Go to your GC and see if you can enter the door by the free company chest
i can't go in

Can I get some help with aether currents?
ok, thank you!
The 4.0 maps are killing me
Sure, I’m not doing anything particular right now for the next half hour. What world are you in?
I can come over to your world
What botanist skill do you use to uncover legendfary nodes now?
Truth of forests
Do note you need to unlock the nodes with the relevant folklore book if you haven’t.
They’re bought with yellow scrips or white scrips from the scrip traders or sundry splendors in the main cities
help, how to make stack more than 1000 ? i dont want to waste space
999 is the max
how do i get a house?
ty sir/mam
when should I be using deliruim? Should I use it when blood weapon is active?
what quest do i need to do to unlock the 2nd set of custom deliverys here? https://i.imgur.com/q60mBhb.png
If I move to another Data Center, do all my characters from the previous one come with me or just one?
so as soon as its ready? And with blood spiller right
Yes
Only the ones you pay to transfer
hey i have all 6 horses now but i cant talk to the wandering minstrel? he just talks to me about being a warrior of light
Did you use all the whistles
Hmm.
do i have to do stuff here first?
What relic weapon glows similar/closest to this?
I don’t think so.
Make sure one of those isn't Nightmare
Oh yes, that’s important
ah ya i have nightmare
No nightmare isn’t one of the 6
Then you're missing one
Ironworks best gear i can get on free trial right?
||Aithon, Xanthos, Gullfaxi, Enbarr, Markab, Boreas|| are the mounts
Free trial goes to 60 which has Shire
What part of hw has shire?
Idllyshire
do you get normal exp from PotD or just the levels for inside the tower??
Bc my ninja at lvl 59 and I'm planning on leveling a different class when I hit 60 and full ironworks
ya i got nightmare off of titan
Yes but you don’t need nightmare
You’re missing one of the ones I’ve listed
yes i know
If you’re counting nightmare as part of your six, then you’ve only collected 5
When you beat a set of 10 floors you get a chunk of exp for that job outside
its it worth it? like for leveling and alt job
It's aight
thanks gotta try it out then
what is this ? (saw on asmongold's second stream)
oh I thought its a mod
how often does the moonfire faire fate pop up?
i was talking aboout the interface
oh dear, is asmon actually doing potd?
yeah just the palace ui
shouldnt palace unlock skills without you having to do the job quest
yep
me and my friend were running it and he couldnt use lucid dream at level 30 something
That’s the default ingame interface
Is your friend a Conjurer or a white Mage?
Iirc, lucid is a WHM skill
hey guys, when people buy those outfits or armors on Mogstation, do they put it in glamour dresser?
!action lucid dreaming
its a level 24 skill
Oh, wait, my bad, that's a role skill
cant be a whm skill
i think
he also didnt have swiftcast unlocked
which was like 18
You sure he didn’t just neglect to put it on his bar?
What's your friend Conjurer level outside of potd
no he streamed it because i didnt believe him and they were grayed out and said couldnt be used because not learned
or somethin like that
i couldnt get my head around how role skills wouldnt unlock
(to be honest, if your friend is a healer just do dungeon normally, potd is worse than dungeon in exp yield)
since they are level based
hes level 10
so no dungeons yet
¯_(ツ)_/¯
heard level 50-60 in potd was better than dungeons but dunno if thats changed
Role actions are weird like that
hey so I asked about this earlier but there's a main story quest I'm on right now but it says I need to complete quests in the crystal tower series first? I just don't really know what quest I'm supposed to be doing
That’s only for dps because of short queue times

@thick dove this ^
Can I grab past Moonfire Faire rewards with the current tickets? And if so, where from?
Before lvl 15, you can even grind FATEs for exp
tru but he hates fates but enjoys potd
Fair enough
i understand 1-15 is my least favorite part of leveling lol
?
i bought something from the mog station. how long does it take to arrive cause its been a few hours already
Is it an account wide item?
varies ive had to wait all night for one
yeah
You can talk to the in game moogle mail and request delivery
Only fireworks at the vendor
do i have to fly to get up here
@faint flare Ah darn. None of the old swimsuits outside of the Mogstation then? Cheers.
They always go to mogstation
Yeah for some reason that quest giver doesn't show up for me
anyone know?
then you must've started the questline already
Then you already completed it and are on the next step

look at the level indicator for the quest, it's not up, it's below you.
No it’s in a tunnel
You’re standing somewhere above the cave entrance

ty i would have been stuck here for days
At what point do I unlock the ability to turn in raid gear for company seals?
Or am I just not looking in the right bit and I already have it
I have ffxiv on my ps4 would I have to buy it again on my pc? Also will I be able to play my character that I had on my ps4?
is there a limit on how many allagan tomes of revelation that i can farm?
Use the magitek reaper mount key in your inventory
Looks like a usb drive
You got it from beating the base game MSQ, need to add it to mount guide
I legit don't have it
I've done the ultima weapon, so should have it unlocked right?
you get it as soon as you finish the msq mission
and it should appear in your inventory
if you use it you get the mount
how do you farm shards guys
shards?
yeah Ilegit don't have it XD
/isearch armor identification key
is there a way to see how many fates ive completed in an area for the gemstone tier progress?
Travel > shared FATEs
for some reason this quest isn't showing up to me but i have done both of the prereqs needed for it: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Seeking_Solace
i also own up to stormblood for expansions
Have you actually talked to the NPC to check?
Sometimes an NPC offers multiple quests at once, and mousing over their minimap icon only shows the top one in the list
Talking to them lets you see the full list

how would i fully uninstall ff14, i bought a whole pc and i wanna remove the game for my brother
nevermind, i actually did do the first quest but when i searched my completed quests it wasnt showing up for some reason >_>
¯_(ツ)_/¯
So when exactly do hunt trains happen?
Where should I put my theory of a another mmo might be stealing ffxiv themes here or in a another channel
i'm using the alternate launcher and i don't understand how this "price checker" works. i thought it was supposed to give you a price check on the mb?
The point of a price checker is to check all the worlds on your database. Each world has it's own prices.
yes
Yo
In that case not sure how to help you. Never heard of an alternative launcher
when do i obtain two charges with thaumaturge
Can anyone see me texting?
@sweet ridge not in this channel dark, i dont even know where you would put that
sorry
this is for questions and help about the game
it’s aight
how does cosmetic work in this game? can I only get them in website shop? all I find in the market are normal armors, I've seen people with wings and stuff
I've seen wings on sale at the saucer.
No theres a ton of glamours to collect, some from market board, some from cash shop, some from raids or trials etc. Anything your character can wear can be a glamour (but cash shop items are specifically glamour only usually)
If you want to browse some glamour styles, check the Eorzea Collection website *
Also cosmetics aside from accessories are just normal armor. There's a couple quests in Vesper Bay that'll explain Glamour.
alright
also, how I search glamours in market? what are the filters
Is there anyway I can have the animation of my weapon activated while it's sheathed?
Try a macro:
/bm
/sit
No filter, it's like I said: anything you can wear, you can glam. As long as you're the right level, you just bros for chest pieces or weapons or whatever ya want
Takes out your weapon and makes you sit, in the same microsecond

oh alright! thanks
OMG it actually worked!
best place to farm from 71-80? bozja or zadnor?
what is a good way to lvl up when picking up a new class at the start?
like main lvl is 64 but starting a diff class idk wat to do
!faq altlvlguide
As for bozja I'm not sure, haven't used it
does that work even tho its just a dif class and not an alt?
Yep, that's what it's written for.
Always eat your food! 😉
That’s what alt usually refers to in this game
Alt class
Since most people don’t bother with actual alt characters
Can you really only use the splash emote once when you buy it?
No? It’s permanently added to your emote list
oooooh thanks!
Okay. The wording was confusing me.
You get a consumable manual item that teaches you the emote permanently
how often can one do wondrous tales a week?
Once
I turned this one in and i got another book tho? is that just giving me next weeeks ahead of time?
You turned in last week's, then!
oh :^)
You Can obtain one a week but she actually gives you like.. Two weeks to finish it
Unfinished ones not afaik
what is afaik
How long does it take for new fates to populate after they have all been cleared out?
As far as they know
As far as I know
If they irk you, you could clesr them 
There's no consistent answer
I'm kidding, but yeah there isn't any other way I'm aware of

Can others see your fireworks items (like flame tracers) when you use them?
hey guys, when people buy those outfits or armors on Mogstation, do they put it in glamour dresser?
Generally yeah - you dont HAVE to use the dresser but it sure is much nicer to do so
i just finished ||sorrow of werlyt questline, the one about gaius' children||. anyone knows who is the writer? wasn't expecting so much feels from what i thought is gonna be just a ||fuck yeah ff7 weapons cameo||. ShB sidequest spoilers
agreed, cause I was confused at first, since the stats are bad
Is there another wol gear set in game, other than the one from the lvl 50 alliance raids?
does retainers job matter guys?
Your retainers job level can never be higher than you are yourself on that job level so keep that in mind. Dont make them a Bard if your Bard is level 20 but your Red Mage is level 80!
if you mean that one specifically, no
Gear set, like armor, then no
I remember seeing one close to ||sos||
Pretty much any gear you buy on the cash shop is glamour only, even if it has stats the gear cant be "Pay to win"-ed
No, that has no gear set
That’s the one from Labyrinth of the Ancients.
ohh! thank you for pointing that out
Are account wide mogstation items taking longer than usual??
Uhm
And the weapons from that fight also have no relation
It’s a bit shittier than ||SoS’s|| appearance though
max we can have are 2 retainers right?
Two for free
Oh and that goes for your gatherers too, so if you want them to Mine you gotta have your miner up. And two for free, max is like... 10? If you pay real money
WHAT
10!?
0.0
No, I'm referring to another one that was in the benchmark
10, for a price! Each extra one is like a dollar or two a month?
But I guess it was just similiar looking
Yeah it’s like a buck a month per extra retainer
is it worth spending 4-5mill to buy the aesthete's armour/tools or is it better to just farm for the white scrip gear
Depends what you’re after
White scrip is fine for everything except like churning out exarchic gear or doing expert crafts
I mean depends on how much you have, but BOTH of those things will soon be beat by some random level 88 jank that Endwalker will have available sooo you might not feel like you have to go balls to the wall. White scrip may not be good enough for some of the highest endgame crafting that exists now, though (because you cant meld it)
ok, so what in the HELLS are lilies for white mage?
where do you get the stuff to summon chocobo again?
its in heavensward @tardy tangle
Spent on afflatus abilities
Unlocked at level 52 job quest
thats fine
^ but u gotta hit x point in the msq before u can get that
in that case, I'll worry about it later
sounds good
Advice on a main for a new player?
whatever sounds fun, all are pretty balanced
can someone please fucking help me
i asked for help in like 3 different places and no one has helped
we are in the same party and i cant see him even though we are in same server and same world
does crafted lv 1 gear look different than its HQ counterpart? whats the point in making it HQ
You need to be in the same zone to see them as like, not ??? ??? ???
No point at all, nada. That goes for anything you craft for glam, really
Same map basically
how can we do that
Uh, you guys need to physically both be in let's say Northern thanalan
To be able to see each others lvl etc
yeah but
we did that
we where at the same big crystal place
and we didnt seee each other
Then I have no idea, never had this issue
ok
Unless someone world travelled
thanks for not ignoring me
Go down to the Party Members menu and see what it says
But don't think it's possible you're in a local party
Will have a list for both of your locations
I think they got a few thousand more orders than usual today thanks to C.C. so yeah, I mean normally Mogmail can take 5+ hours on a slow day anyways so certainly not unheard of!
You can try requesting mail from the server though, with the little button at the top when you talk to a Delivery Moogle.
Oh I didn't know it takes 5 hours on slow days
It can, maybe more, maybe less
im in a duty and we have a disconnected player, how would i kick that person?
im trying to continue with the MSQ but it says i have to do crystal tower stuff. How do i initiate crystal tower quests?

I notice some high level raiders wiggle their camera left and right, why is that?
How do I unlock sprint skill
Yeah check it, you're not in Old Gridania.
Note that in order to get around the world to other cities, you BOTH need to be at least level 15 in Main Story Quest... since you picked different starting cities, you'll need to both progress a little further by yourselves before you can actually "meet up". Shouldnt take too long!

thats dumb
so we both have to be level 15 to meet up bc we both have different classes
no, level 15 MSQ
Sprint is unlocked on every class and job from the start, just head to your Actions and Traits menu if you want to drag it to your hotbar. (P on keyboard i think?)
you need to do story
So after completing MSQ and reaching level 50 I can switch to DK right? I will start at level 30 and will go through job quests to reach 50 and continue. Do DK quests give enough experience to go all way till 50 or I need to grind dungeons?
Thanks
I am 38 level monk and hasn't finished yet, just planning
@lament quarry look at your top left where msq shows and there should be a tiny exclamation point right below it?
You're waaaay over here in Yellow, and they are waaay over there in Blue, in the world. Once you unlock Airships you'll be able to go to any main city freely!
And thats at level "15 MSQ".
you still have 120+ quests to do @steady dragon
!faq hwjobs
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.
Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".
b ut yeah you'll need to do dungeons
@celest swallow
not too bad but it's a good 2-3 hours
for some reason my MSQ is faar behind( I am doing 20 lvl MSQ while at level 37
@celest swallow yea you're in 2 totally different locations
thats how it is
Thats normal. You get so much experience these days, you'll likely be overleveled for a looong time. You'll catch up eventually!
just do MSQ and nothing else if you wanna unlock stuff
ty for the help
sounds good thanks
If its when they move then its to keep their character on course. When you use a skill and keep holding w your character turns and moves in the direction of the enemy. Wiggling keeps them on course
is it easier or harder to find a static as a tank, dps or heal? I enjoy both dps and tank and did not try healing at FF14 yet.
Neither, or all. Doesnt matter*, just focus on the roles you wanna play, because this game is alll about player skill
which is the beginner friendly caster class to get into?
Also I am playing on PS4 and sometimes having hard time to select a boss over some random minions while clicking left and right arrows on controller
People play healer the least going by roulette wait times
is there any way to prioritize boss?
At what lvels should i start gearing the retainers?
Gshade is from Gposers.com right? and i wont get banned using it right?
Red Mage is fairly easy but it starts at level 50, and you need to be level 50 to unlock it too - so if you're just starting you only have Black Mage and SMN to pick from.
Which is easier between BLM or SMN is subjective so it depends on who you ask! I would say BLM, between the two but my friend would call me crazy and say SMN, you know?
Thats right, and no you wont - it doesnt change anything about the game itself its just a visual overlay.
ty Wes
Whenever you can, retainer level impacts what/how much of stuff they bring back to you in ventures. You can start right away, or wait until 50, or higher than that, just whatever is comfortable / accessible to ya
Does their gear affect how fast they earn xp?
You can send retainers on missions?? 
Hmmm maybe if you send them on Quick Ventures, since rarer Quick Venture rewards give more EXP? I cant confirm that
yeah thats how you can gt dyes that sell for 100k
I hired one and used the summoning bell and don't recall seeing the option. Did I skip over it or do you send them with something else?
Need to unlock with quest “an ill-conceived venture” found at your starting city aetheryte
so once u register u have to put an address what happenes if I move ?
coz they said u can change it
You have to pay them Venture Tokens in order for them to go out and get stuff for you, 1 or 2 tokens every time you send them. They collect things based on their job - mob drops if combat, or ores/logs/fish if gatherer. Or they can be sent to get something random, like sometimes they'll bring back gear or furniture or housing items or crabs or potions or dye, anything
trying to join lvl 50+ daily roulette dungeon, its telling me 2 or more requirements not met
Can you show what it says? Its possible you dont have an item level high enough or something?
do i need my item lvl to cover all the possible dungeons?
what is the best mmo mouse?
How about when you select it from the Duty Finder, whats it say on that window?
You need to be able to do more than 1 duty
Oh its not talking about requirements, its just talking about two duties. Yeah it needs two to pick from
Get ironworks
eh? i have 2 duty im able to do but im guessing those are msq duties?
so I got level 80 DoL and Alchemy/Culinarian, what would be a good DoH job to work on next that can be fed from those?
Prae and castrum are strictly in MSQ roulette
i see
Ooooh. Just teleported back. I haven't done this yet
A mouse that lets you hit modifiers from it will be super helpful, as well as having some of its own buttons. If you can hit at least Ctrl and/or Alt from it, as well as like M5 and M6 buttons, you'll have access to like an entire hotbar alone.
If youre looking for a mouse with like 16 G buttons then I'm not sure, never used one
how long-ish does it take for the seasonal fate to respawn?
Do the other quest at the hut
oh just saw that lol
Is there a way to check squadron times without going to it?
@knotty lilythx
Is spamming dungeons to 70/80 (as a healer) as easy/fast as 1-50? I got AST from 1-50 in like two play sessions just running dungeons, but I've heard post-60 is a rough slog
I wouldn’t say it’s a rough slog at all?
On keyboard, ctrl+u. Otherwise, its the "timers" menu from the bottom right "Duty" button
I'm curious if I should use story quests for a tank or DPS or if it's more efficient to use the MSQ exp on my main (AST)
But consider the ten levels of each expansion the same as the 50 levels of ARR
okay 2 questions - 1: how the heck do people deal with having different abilities for all the level-synced trials and duties? My mind is going crazy trying to figure out what I can cast at the start of every duty. 2: How do I get the alliance raid frames to be the raid frames for everything? They are so nice for healing compared to the regular duty frames
I dont understand...what do u mean ctrl + u and timers?
Using the HW story to level RDM was much easier than dungeon spamming on RDM
duty?
- Practice
- Can’t and that wouldn’t be very good at all anyway since you can’t see buff/debuff info which is important
I 'm still downloading the game
Some of the GSM/ARM/BSM jobs like to use Glue from Alchemist often, Leatherworker too. Consider those, or leveling them all up at once if you want to stick to a single set of gear
ah kk thx
@jade quartz is there a way to change the UI frames at all? I'm not really liking the bar vs an actual frame
from what I have seen this game is bigger than WOW

Depends on your definition of "bigger" afaik
can you get coils in normal raid roulette?
No
Nope, Coils are in no roulettes at all. Too tough
I think there is more skills per class
raid roulette is lvl 60+
I only played wow for 2 months
Yeah not sure about bigger, WoWs been out for how much longer now, man.
Better though, most of us would I agree I'm sure, kek
do I only have to get to level 50 on one job for the potd checkpoint or is it per job?
One argument for bigger would be the lack of outright dead content
One job
Only need to get there once, doesn't matter what job
I couldnt play well with most classes in wow except warior dual swords I really enjoyed this class, 90% of the time in an rpg or mmo I go with archer or bow and I just didnt like any of the skills for bow in wow I hope the skills for archer in this game r more to my liking
What is explorer mode?
is there a way to save a specific place to tp to on a hotbar?
I asked this in the healing lounge but gonna post here too, hi, I’m mid-ShB as an Astro, I noticed more recently my heals aren’t doing much? I’m level 78, my gear & weapon is the Bluespirit coffer (Pixie…of healing, iL 403), my average iL is 399, is there better gear? Am I doing something wrong? My normal diurnal aspected benefic isn’t cutting it, and my tank died twice in two min in Malikah’s Well (iL 385, lvl 77). I’m questioning everything I know about my healing abilities, plz help (also ping me plz I can’t see shit)
@final turret is your gear at 0% durability?
what slot do angel wings from gold saucer get glamourd too?
No, it’s at least more than half
can anyone give me their opinion on archer skills
Shadowbringers is just straight up harder than previous expansions, you work harder but you have more ogcds and tools to balance that out
Also yeah you should have 400 average since that's what the poetics gear from stormblood would put you at
Haha wait, where do I level after the Praetorium I just realized the MSQ gives nothing
You're still doing level 50 content til you hit heavensward
You don't need the exp
Anyone know if i purchase angel wings which slot the glamour on?
Yeah it used to be endgame content so it doesn't reward xp
thank you, I appreciate it
SE never went back to update it after HW came out
Wrong
It gives exp
Just shit exp
It was specifically updated after hw came out
Cuz in 3.0 it didn't give exp and neither did the dungeons
Does the Prey Online FATE spawn in HW and ARR areas ?
Just hw
All fates are zone exclusive
North Thanalan fates only spawn in northern Thanalan etc.
new healer, should i put cure 1 and medica 1 on my hotbar??
about how long does it take to get the bunny fate area of eureka
i only play potd hoh
how do i make Asylum instacast, instead of me needing to click ground again ?
I'm not sure where in the settings i did it but when i mouse over the abilities they don't have like a tooltip for me to read what it does now
anyone know how to fix that
Cure 1 will be your main heal until you get cure 2 at which point you should basically just stop using cure 1 entirely
Unless you are severely low on mp
And if that happens as a WHM then you probably made a mistake somewhere or your team needs to stop standing in AoEs
i see, im just gonna lose my soul on POTD and HOH, thnks
Just don't get tricked by Freecure
It is a trap
Cure 1 is still not worth using even with Freecure
ho about medica 1?
Medica 1 remains useful, just less so because as you level up you get stronger/better AoE healing
like Assize (big aoe heal/damage combo on a short CD, restores MP) or Asylum (AoE Regen bubble)
What do i do with my dark matter clusters?
endgame healing with WHM is "how many times can i cast glare in this instance", healing mostly with ogcds
Yeah, as a WHM (any healer, really) you should be trying to squeeze out as much damage as possible
Especially due to the WHM job mechanic (the lily gauge)
having trouble with this quest, I'm level 39 alc, any recs?
Blood for the blood lily 😉
it want's HQ stuff but the HQ is 1400
their only use is crafting magitek repair materials which is for fc airship/subs
is there no way to skip msq dungeon cutscene ?
Outgear it
nope
Msq roulette? No
So if im trial i cant even do anything with them then?
Thank you
Swear the cutscenes are annoying
@boreal stormwhere can I buy crafter gear? just npc vendors?
@astral cedar there's a reason why the exp and poetics are goodn
Hey i know this gets asked all the time but i legit ordered a ton of stuff and got everything but the mount, am I missing something or will it get here at some point
the cruiser mount that just came out
the new store attires, weren't they free the previous years?
Yes
Market board and well, crafting it yourself
That's generally how it works, the previous year's seasonal rewards are available paid on Mogstation for people who missed the event
i dont understand why it inst available
Equip your rod
i only have worm
@celest swallow rmb to read what the npc instructs and all the tool tips!
can i do the msq dungeons repeatedly for same 200 poetics?
you can but don't
it's horrifically time-inefficient with how long those dungeons take
then what would be better for poetics?
you get bonus poetics each time you clear a level 50(/60/70) dungeon for the first time
if you haven't gone and unlocked the level 50 dungeons, do that.
how do i fly on mounts cuz all of them can fly right?
Aetherochemical Research Facility spam isn't that bad for poetics spam
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
thanks
When you transfer into a specialist class, do you retain the skills from the basic class before that and can use them on the specialist class?
Jobs are basically extensions of their base class
You dont lose anything, only gaining more
Do food buffs work in PotD?
specialists in this game are a crafter thing, so you should probably just refer to it in that context
should i do far east/gyr abania fates or the alliance raids for The Resistance Remembers?
Do fates while queued for void ark/royal city, imo - if you have insta queues then just grind fates
They aren't a guaranteed drop but they come pretty fast
I have some questions about samurai rotation because there is bits in the samurai guide that say so and so is an unoptimized rotation and not to use it, kinda confused as to what to use
What’s a good level to access black mage at? I’m trying to pick between playing BLM or red mage and I want to give BLM a fair shake
And you can get 3 from fates generally faster than it will take to queue into and clear an alliance raid
i found the fate step was faster only with my geard blu mage
and void ark is pretty fast too
lvl 70 ones might still eat the fate bullet tho hahaha
if you have BLU, the fates can go by pretty fast
Gonna need some context
Moon flute openers can kill most bosses
anyone help me with samurai rotation?
what level do you get your first mount or when does the quest become avalible
!faq mount
'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.
!faq balance
that place answers questions best for high end stuff
in game mentors are pretty bad ngl
I cant ask here tho?
what mount is this?
construct VI-S iirc
does this mean i can only get ONE coin from this per week?
weekly lockout for rewards
yes
:/
Its just the clusters
how do you obtain it?
That trade for materia
suffer iirc, but you can buy it for 10mil on the mb
Marketboard or from faux hallow
Coins aren't weekly anymore
then why does it say
reward already recieved
the clusters
what did i recieve for this
You got clusters
what kind of clusters
if i do this raid for a second time and dont get a coin
ima be slightly triggered
but i trust u guys u know more than me
i was doing the final fight in the alphascape and the tank was yelling at me for not using shirk while he was maintank, he was being a dickhead and not explaining when i asked why or how to use it so i was wondering what he was talking about?
so ill do the third nier raid one more time this week for another coin
Clusters get traded for materia
i have plenty of clusters from roultes

you are limited to one cluster reward a week
that's it
you can get as many coins as you want
Tank swap, some TB's give vuln ups and take massive damage after it
will the gear from quests at like lvl 51+ be better than lvl 50 poetics gear?
this?
if the OT doesn;t swap with the MT the MT dies
yes, that
lvl 55 msq gear is better than lvl 50 poetics and so on
More clusters are more clusters
lvl 55 msq gear is better than lvl 50 poetics?
ye
i mean, some people don't play the right roles to get the adventurer in need bonuses
?
waits it a need bonus?
it is
HOLY SHIT UR RIGHT
should i even bother getting poetics then?
so because i play sch
but you can get poetics after 2.0, whereas can't really use lvl 55 gear until heavensward
yes
1000%
indeed
wow i never noticed
armor or weapn first?
weapon
alright thanks
Question. How many players do you think plays ffxiv. Not total subscribers i mean players who actually play
well we were at 2.5 mil active before the wow surge
out of 23 mil total?
so i'd ballpark around 3 mil active
Hey guys, I'm fairly new and I've noticed on a few videos, people having these simplified job icons on their party frames like this
!faq ACT
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
But mine are all square icons with a background instead of just the symbol
that has an option iirc
Ahhhhhhhh
do u guys enable this?
it felt less immersive
Man I cant find this for the life of me, but I was sure I saw it somewhere
i have a question about a particular type of duty that happens in SB and ShB sometimes..
||the "roleplay" ones. is there any way to make it so that the abilities default to hotbar 2 instead of 1? i know they also show up in the pet hotbar but it sucks. i basically end up having to use stupid key combinations the entire time (IE a modifier key) or rebind my bars every time these show up. i dont want to use hotbar 1 as my default hotbar either because of the lock icon that you can not remove lol||
So I saw a hairstyle that looks really cool, but I need 18k Wolf Marks to get it. How hard is it to get that many?
i think you're out of luck 😦
not very, just takes some time
Thanks! I'm a bit nervous to get into PvP but I'd love to get some of the things like the hairstyle from doing it
just do frontlines, no one cares if you're bad or new
24v24v24
Is there a way to disable the slowed down backward walk when a enemy is targeted?
does anyone know how to rotate leves to get the right one for the books for trial of the braves for arr relic?
I can't get the right one
I tried taking all of them then only doing one
but it refuses to show up
in Character Configuration, change movement style to Legacy
Are you sure you're checking the right levemete? Some of the books require grand company leves and not normal leves
there's only one in mor dhona tho?
if I change grand company do my Squadron level restart or must I recruit other from beginning?
There's two
where's the other one?
your Squadron follows you to the new GC
Nearby
Same area as the regular levemete
Ah thanks
I don't understand the one time password thing
nice, so I can at least speedrun it
Man I'm just trying to play the free trial
Best bet is to check each leve when you get the book to see which type of leve it is, whether it's a normal one or a specific GC one
Are you able to equip 2 of the same ring?
Yes, unless the ring has the unique tag
Thank you!
Ignore OTP if you’ve never used it
Ah wait that’s the option I’m already in
I just got my CUL to 80, my first 80 crafter. Should I just buy a full set of Aesthete gear at the MB to start off?
One time password
do you mean on the launcher login? it's only if you have one setup
I'm such a fucking dumbass
I did the same thing, it's not well indicated in my opinion
@proud willow The issue is that I do that when targeting an enemy, and was wondering if I can disable that while still being able to strafe
I’m on gamepad mode if that changes anything
Yeah
totally
Oof, apparently you need a macro to walk backwards at full speed, dang
Curse you targeting
can you still get shire knives?
Yes? Why wouldn’t you be able?
@boreal storm i read in wiki you can no longer obtained it anymore. i can't find it in market. Is it still possible to get it?
Yes it is 100% possible
Shire is never on market
You have to buy it with poetics from the shire gear vendor
Either in Ishgard or Idyllshire
Side note, almost never read wiki when it comes to XIV
Go with Gamerescape and Garlandtools
are purchases from the store just being delivered insanely slow rn?
i want my cruiser :c
ill give it a shot
is doing 50/60/70 roulette better exp than a single run of the highest lv dungeon available?
in my experience they are insanely close. i usually opted for the highest lvl dungeon if you need to upgrade your gear
to clarify, I'm already running the other roulettes once daily
If you do leveling, msq, and alliance
You should have enough to get into lvl 51/61/71
Then you can just keep going with the dungeons
any idea how to get this week fashion report 80k easy? sharlayan boots is hard to find 😂
Instead of going for the 50/60/70 roulette
I see
if i transfer data centers does it remove me from cwls/ls im in?
I mean that's what I was already doing, on days where I had a LOT of time to play
can you remove the lock button?
can intervention be used on yourself?
if my job is lv 60/70, should I be running the lv 59/69 dungeons or the highest ilvl 60/70 dungeon for exp purposes?
is it from Hismena in idyllshire for tomestone exchange? I saw she sells shire armor but not weapons tho
@brittle valve one of them sell weapons

@fickle meadow don't think so.
Cover is your guage spender for self
I mean
Shelltron
how many people does it take to clear sigmascape 1 savage unsyced?
is the Cruise Chaser mount limited time too? or am I misunderstanding from hearing it from others?
I just saw a Lalafell woman sitting down with her eyes closed and grinning, the emote appears to be persistent. What is it?
How long does it take the reward from RAF to show up? I've entered my friend's referral code and it's been hours but still no mail in game yet
so both intervention and cover are for allies only
@azure finch you dont get any rewards as a referee until you pay for 30 days of sub time
Mogstation items don’t disappear, pretty sure
It will likely be forever
probably sit with an expression
But expressions are persistent.
@broken cairn Ah, so I'll only receive it after the 1st free month of play?
At least not last I knew.
@azure finch yes, but if you were to, say, buy a game time code right now and apply it it would also grant you the rewards (and would stack on your 30 free days)
I see, thank you!
Apparently, their player is using a macro every few seconds.
where can i get a 2 seater mount?
Which is kind of ridiculous, there should definitely be a way to make facial expressions persistent.
Hi, newbie here. I completed the my little chocobo quest, got the chocobo and even named it. However, I dunno how to summon it. My 'Mount guide' option is still grey out, anybody know why?
@fading scroll separate quest for battle chocobo, which is what that menu is for
What does comprehensive training course do for squadrons
Would suggest 6 (1 tank 1 healer more dps)
But if mount guide is greyed out, hmmm
Not for battle, I couldn't even summon the mount
How long does it take to do everything from ShB relic weapon ?
@fading scroll did you use the whistle in your inventory?
why cant i find any games for The Feast? is no one doing the feast ranked match?
@wheat plume it depends, but id say you are looking at at least like 20 hours
I couldn't find the whistle
(/isearch whistle )
nice, I thought it could be 100 hours or something like that, because some people said something like doing more than 100 raids or something like that
is 50/60/70 roulette worth running on days where I have a lot of time to play considering it gives extra poetics
are there no job quests in shadowbringers?
even if it's not exp-efficient
You need 180 raids for a step of the relic, but a raid can go as quick as 4 mins each
Didn't know this, will try later, thanks
Nop, they changed them for Role Quests
@fickle meadow yea I meant yo say shelltron
Only lv 80 ones for story
ah, its gonna be hard to find that many people into doing that though

eh. ill try something else
For 400k id say no, sueh, unless ur drowning in gil
okay got it! will skip it then hahahah it's the only one in the market so can't compare
thanks!!
Crafted axe will get you to ew but pentamelded isnt worth it. Try another server mb for a plain weapon and augment the result. Edit just noticed the hq unmelded ones for 60k
Max
got it thanks for help!
Is there a notable difference between the GCs?
They have different colours and umm.... The gc equipment looks different
does anybody know how much damage astral fire adds to Fire I?
Different titles
I just read in wikia/fandom stuff about ||omega|| in Shadowbringers, about what it do in ||the other timeline||. In which part of the game can I see that? I already finished 5.55.
They all eventually send you to hell (aurum vale) for rank unlock
Alrighty, thanks
if i want to get ARR extreme trial mounts should i do them synced or unsynced?
||the world dies and kills each other ending is only shown in the couple cutscenes with heavensward, the book visible. Twinning is the implied result of that and trying to prevent it||
Unsync to get them faster, buuuut u'll already get them while doing WT, I never farmed mounts and still got everyone from ARR EX because WT. Unless u want them now, I'll say don't hurry on that.
WT?
Wonderous Tails
Basically another method to get people to run older content in exchange for rewards
it's something u unlock at the end of Heavensward, it's a weekly bingo, fast to do with good rewards, and some stuff it asks to do is kill ARR EXs
is there any general use food that good for levelling at any level?
i was expecting a super food that could give great stat to help towards everything
Yeah, but I just read what ||Omega did in that timeline|| and I don't remember anyone saying anything about ||omega|| besides the report inside The Twinning. Also, ||what's that about the book Heavensward? The book written by Edmont de Fortemps?||
is there lockouts or can i keep trying
I mean, food normally can only increase up to 3 stats at a time, so itll depend on what class you are using at a given time
u can try if u want, it's fine, just that u'll still do those EX a lot's of times in the future for WT
ok im farming for final relic step
why does this guide
have 7 things
instead of 6 things
A1N average duty finder clear time: 2:30
A4N average duty finder clear time: 2:05
O1N average duty finder clear time: 3:05
O3N average duty finder clear time: 2:25
E1N average duty finder clear time: 4:35 (3:30 if your group can skip add phase)
E2N average duty finder clear time: 4:10
(NOTE: huge variance in E2N. People still suuuuuuuck at this fight)
E3N I've been doing with PF, 6 dps, 3:10
?
why are they doing e1 e2 and e3?
E1 is doable in like a minute per run if you run 7dps 1 healer
||yes, to document the player's actions during hw, the msq content||
Can I read it in-game?
Is there a way to get the wedding attire without actually marrying someone lol? I like the shoes
ty
at what point in the game do i unlock mounts?
I'm not aware of the book contents being readable. might be something in an archive from the tales of... lore building on lodestone
@cobalt burrow msq level 20
ok
But is in that book the info about what ||Omega|| did in the other ||timeline|| from ShB ?
probs still too low only in drybone
@plain python role quests are from shb, not sure about void quests
Yeah, para, but ur on ur way
role quests are what the say on the tin (tank, healing, melee, ranged). void quests are a sidequest string that starts once all role quests are complete, and (ex?) containment bay is finished
about to hit 30 n change to black mage lol
no since heavensward happened before ||omega was story revelent in sb as raids or shadowbringers "the WoL dies/black rose does things and stuff timeline"||
You are actually also locked out of getting your job stone until msq level 20, too, essentially right after you get your mount
nps
Yeah, I know that, but I wanna know where in the game is detailed what happened with ||Omega|| in the ||alternate timeline|| from ShB.
Wikia/Fandom has info about that, but I wanna know which part of the game shows that info.
shouldnt be too far off, i still need to finish thurmaturge questline anyways
any idea how long the Alexander mog station mount should take to arrive? I’ve bought some stuff on the store before but never taken more than 10 minutes
Ive had some long wait times when new items get added to the online store
Itll eventually come
nowhere
it's one of the "tales from the shadows" short stories on the official site
mounts takes more than 10 mins to get
