Its unlocked via msq?
Aether currents
For expansions
With 1 via msq
10 in the field you find with the aether compass, 5 from blues quest and 1 from msq
!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/
What is uwu in FFXIV context?
Ultima Weapon Ultimate
Really hard
Real name: The weapons refrain ultimate
But we're filthy Internet people
And want uwu
Should I be running all ShB dungeons using the Trust system for immersion? Gotta do Dohn Mheg now
If you want
Okay. I kept seeing it on reddit and was confused.
Recommended, but do be aware the trust NPC are bad at AOE and adjusting
Like I know weebs and all but why is every fc calling themselves uwu
kk
It’s not weeb it’s furry
Different culture
Also Weeb Furries anyone?
I dunno furries are different than people who like anime cat and bunny girls but this probably isn't the place for a conversation about the differences of internet subcultures
Yeah
Also wait, Ultima Weapon Ultimate isn’t the official name?
No
Nope, Unending
Is it a normal thing for people to create alts to sell items on different servers?
No?

The majority of players only use 1 character
Start > duty finder > leave
Thanks.
Ok. I ask because I just got done watching gil making videos and a noticable amount of people mentioned it
If I change my sub from the normal to the cheaper with only one character, but I already have more than one on one world... What will happen?
Only the top most character will be playable
The ones below it on the list just can't be logged in on
Oh okay okay, wanted to be sure if it was random or something, thanks!
how many crafting professions can you have?
why should I have all?
Cause different crafters need mats from different crafters
Like you'll need some leather, some ingots from blacksmith and maybe some wood just to make 1 item on armour
cant I just buy them?
If you want to literally kill your wallet and defeat the entire point of doing crafters
Then sure
I just found out that there is a 2b outfit! so question, is it only obtainable in the raid? not the market? and which level I need to be for that raid?
Yes, lv80 and finish shadowbringers
how much is it in the market?
Since I'm 30, it's gonna take me a big while to reach 80 and finish shadowbringers
Not tradeable
oh sad face
so, some of the cards are equal?
Ah. So can a direct hit and critical hit stack?
Investing in DH increases the chance
When can you meet up with friends if you’ve spawned in different locations ?
Yes
Yes
MSQ converges around level 15
Has 3 "!!!" when triggers
Yes, 3 cards for melees and 3 for ranged
3 cards are intended for melees, and 3 for ranged
This is necessary. You can't just wander hoping to find a way out of the shroud/ la noesca/ thanalan
Well, you can walk between Thanalan and the Shroud, but it doesn't help you
When can you meet up with friends if you’ve spawned in different locations ? 
Thanks daddy
Besides #494379215420915712 is there anywhere else i should be looking for a POTD static?
I was wondering when you can trade White Scrip? I only just got to Shadowbringers and wanted to know if it was post story/5.0 for when I could buy new gear with them for my crafter?
Wait am I supposed to talk to someone where I took the quest/in the main city or is he somewhere out near the red labyrinth?
it's in Eulmore after you unlock the aetheryte iirc
What's a preferred server ?
Oh? Let me see then. Since I was wanting to try and craft some of the 80 gear and could only make a few Dwarf armor pieces and didn't have an high enough crafters level
A server with Road to 70 buff
Click on the quest and you will see where he is
There's no preferred servers anymore in EU and NA
ay why am I not receiving kupo stamps when turning in items in ishgard restoration ?
I can't access from lab side and it wont let me in from the other
does it have a limit or something ?
Can only have 10 kupo cards at one time
how do i unlock a bowl of ember(hard)
Gotta be the highest level item you can craft
I got 2
Look under the main scenario tracker top left, do that chain
Do the highest level available turn in
If you just unlocked a new one then the old one stops giving stamps
ooooh okay, so the ones with red icon will give stamps ?
got it
Yes
thanks
So I was looking up warrior rotation a little, are people really expected to play as precisely as these guides are
You're expected to press your buttons and do the basics of your job
how many msq quests are there? ARR -> Stormblood
Alright I mean I've been doing alright so far, but I don't think I could count my gcd's and be counted on to never miss one lol
Hey guys, so i got a question about HUD and hotbars. i have it set up kinda weirdly but comfortable for me, hotbar 7 im using like numpad. but whenever i change to other class/job "main" 3 hotbars change, but that hotbar 7 is still there, same. with my main class skills. is there no way so all hotbars are clean when you change them? sorry for long question, i can screenshot if it helps to understand
Unless it's forced downtime where you can't do anything about it but that's the timr where you make the angry forum post complaining
Turn sharing off
Character configuration > hotbar > sharing
Shared hotbars with retain when changing jobs
Unshared will switch
562
thanks @faint flare , and if i may, whats the difference between hotbar and cross hotbar?
is that one for controller?
Yes
allright, thanks a lot
Best in slot will be a mix of cryptlurker and edenmorn
how many challenges do I need to complete before I start a squad mission?
But if you have no plans to do savage casual "bis" would be full cryptlurker
What squad mission are you talking about? GC squadrons?
yeah gc
so if Im level 80 with ilvl 500 gear, is it possible to get all or at least most HQ from low level quick synthesis?
what is the name of the elf on the left of the seer, I'm trying to make her my retainer but i dont know her name so I can't look her appearance on gamerescape
You unlock command missions at rank 2 of squadrons
Finish the flagged mission at lv20 to do that
Where do I go to enter Palace of the Dead?
i can't even do squadron missions yet, I need to do challenges to start squadron missions
i might've mispoken lol
doesn't have a name to look up unfortunately. it would technically be keeper of the entwined serpents, but that only gets you the male elezen/hyur that appears with her
😩 thanks
what is a raid/trial series?
how many challenges from the challenge log do I need to complete in order to start squadron missions?
you dont need to do that, each grand company has a specific "HUNTING LOG"
usually it tells you what you need to complete before you get promoted
hunting log =/ squadron missions
how many challenge logs it takes to get a new recruit is rng
so just do as many as you can until you get the notification that there's recruitment papers waiting for you at the barracks
any of you guys getting the error code i2501 when registering for a new account?
ok, thanks
you have to be at a specific grand company level to unlock squadrons
I'm already at it.
Challenge logs are how you get more recruits
Man, I cannot say how much it bugs me that people idle outside a dungeon while waiting for DF to pop. I mean, the whole point of the system is you can go do other stuff while you wait...
im just trying to rank up.
is ff14 down for anyone else ?
I cant get into the game at all
It puts me in a 260 que time which is understandable
but then whenever i get into 20 player que it says theres an error with the lobby and kicks me out
its happened twice now and im frustrated because I can obviously see other people in the game currently
Your server might be down, try logging in via world visit
for shb relic on "the will to resist" does this apply to all dungeons 60-6x or just strictly 60 dungeons?
60 specifically
F
I've heard Palace of the Dead is good at leveling. At what floor would it be good at leveling for level 52? Lol XD
since samurai starts at level 50, when I change, will I be overwelm with a lot of skills?
I'm fine in EU
if i buy the game do i only have access to arr and heavensward? if so how do i get stormblood?
Buy shadowbringers or endwalker
Shadowbringers gives you all expansions prior instantly
endwalker does the same BUT
you cannot access that content UNTIL endwalker drops
I recall hearing of dis so i wanna ask
Was the current tomestone gear with an extra materia slot?
So you have two choices
including shadow?
buy shadowbringers now to instantly play the content currently up to date
or wait for endwalker but be unable to acess the content beyond heavensward
Yes
including shadowbringers
damn
shadowbringers honeslty is cheap right now only 16 bucks I think last it was on sale unless the period is over now
either that, or you buy endwalker and wait 90 days or buy both
I honestly just did both since buying endwalker earlier gives you a earing that scales with level and gives a exp boost
you cant log in if you're on the free trial and theres a queue now?
where can you buy forager gear
i think ill wait until endwalkers drops and then buy the game with endwalker
If you're on free trial and tehres a que that exceeds 50
i find it odd that GC shop sell artisian gear but no forager gear
you cannot enter
i think if there is a long queue you cant log in on trial
Wish shb was on sale in steam too
rip
it was

shut up kupo
weird, ive been able to que with like 80+ people
Theres a certain number, im not sure what but above 50 you're at risk of getting locked
If i buy my free trial friend mogstation item can he claim it or not? Just curious
im estimating
Uhhh im not too entirely sure but he should be able to
free trial only locks them from inviting people to party, whispering
and marketboard
everything else should be fair game
item codes arent part of the game restrictions on free trial
also if i buy shadowbringers on steam, do i get a discount or something on endwalkers?
Ah i see okay then
I never tanked e10s before, how do I tank it?
Basically just invuln the 4 big hits, then tank swap and stack / bait line right?
theres way less hassle and you're not locked to the steam platform unless you're using steam for somethign else
because if you buy ff14 steam
you can ONLY
i use steam for 90% of my games
and i say again
I used to use invul later and tank swap first
The only reason to use steam if Linux support and Steam Deck I think
ONLY use the ff14 steam
kk I'll just ask people in PF
buying code expansions for PC will render it useless
it has to be specifically a steam expansion code and not pc
so just a heads up warning before you buy anything
Cause first tank buster are simple and healer still have resources
is there a difference between buying it on square enix's page and steam?
You can get away with just using Mix of 30 + 20 miti
Now with Echo should be much easier
not that im aware of
Kokami already said it
!faq steam
just make double sure that what you're buying has
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
(STEAM CODE)
and not PC code
because if you buy one on the wrong platform it is useless
kk
What are rotations? Simple definition would be much appreciated
your skills used in a order that is considered to give optimal dps output
So for example, using tank stance and defense abilities and then using aoe combos. would that be considered a rotation for a paladin?
AoE combo yes
Tank stance is not since its something you HAVE to do
Defensive abilities is not considered a rotation, but more so defensive mitigation
Defense abilities should be weaved whenever you needed it
Rotation think of it as dps
So yeah, you should include them to your aoe rotation
Mitigations is not a rotation since its not something that you would do immediatly at times
say you got a whm
you dont want to immediatly use mitigations during your AoE combo because the whm stun locks the adds for a full 5 seconds or so
so you basically wasted your defensives during that time
think of defensive mitigations as "Ill use this when i know I HAVE to for smoother damage intake"
defensives are reactionary
rotations are immediate
does drk suffer more on pulls because he has a magic only defensive cd?
No
They have the strongest tank mitigation called "the blackest night"
but pre level 70 they are squishier than other tanks yes
dont forget, rampart is pure mitigation
same with reprisal
well then off to playing warrior, at least until i get endwalkers
just play paladin and never need a healer to keep you or your party alive 5head
tottaly not a biased paladin main
ok I think I get it. So basicily migitigation abilities are only needed in certain sitiuations, therefore they are not part of my rotation.
Rotations are done THE ENTIRE time even during movement
But you should weave it to your rotation
Mitigations are somethign you want to have up ideally most of the time rotating one mitigation ability
why use shield when you have A N G E R
But there are times when you dont have to use mitigations
For example
if im hitting a boss and the boss all hes doing is hitting me with auto attacks
I dont use any mitigations outside of Aurora (Gunbreakers regen)
Or you can use it whenever you about to get hit before first weaponskill
That is because the boss is doing a insignificant number of damage to me that does not require me to use mitigations
When i do use mitigations
its A) The boss is about to hit me with a heavy ability that I know is coming
or B) The boss is hurting more so i use mitigations and rotate them to smooth out healing for the healer so they can dps more
Ok I am going to watch a video on rotation . The concept is to complex for me at the moment
thanks for the help though
there are times when you can juts pop a mitigation right off the bat but just be mindful to have one up for the entirity of the fight
you want to know WHEN the boss wont be hitting you hard so you dont waste mitigations
but you also want to have mitigations up the entire time when you need it
its a lot easier when you get to dungeons and see things for yourself
so just don't panic and press your buttons uvu
simple flow chart:
Is the boss going to hit me really hard and continue to hit me hard for the next few seconds?
(use mitigation)
is the boss just going to tickle me for the new couple of seconds ?
Only dark ritual and missonary
Dont use mitigation/Use a regen or a small mitigation
Others are for all type of dmg
of course this changes
but this is a simple way of tanking for new tanks
OH and one last thing
please dont save your mitigations until you get to the boss
if you're doing big pulls
please for the love of god use arms length and rotate your mitigations
dont just save your mitigations until you reach the boss or your healer and me will be very upset
how many defensive cds should i use during pulls? and in what order?
Just 1
Starting from invul im assuming
like the migitagion defence stuff makes sense to me now thanks to your example.
but ideally you want -> Arms lenght+One mitigation
ALWAYS use arms lenght on big pulls
do not waste it on 3-4 adds
and if oyu ahve a whm and you know they will spam holy
OHHH so thats why i always made my team wipe on lvl 50+ dungeons
hold off on using mitigations until the stun period is gone and the adds start hitting you
arms length applies a 20% slow on all enemies tha thit you
so the adds will be hitting oyu less frequiently it is a very powerful tank cd
not just to prevent knockbacks
i always used reprisal>rampart>thrill of the battle>vengeance>arm's length
like if i had reprisal on cd i used rampart, if i had rampart on cd i used thrill and so on
dont use every defensive cd at once
Only exception is if this is the last big pull you'll be doing for a while and you know you wont need to use an extreme amount for wahtever thing you're doing next
and even then you only want to use two defensives MAX with arms length
!altguide
I will just slowly learn my rotation, but thanks for simplifying it as much as possible
kupo commands are to be sent in #kupo-bot-spam if it doesn't relate to anything in the channel
I still feel a bit lost tbh, but I will try
just dont worry too much you'll understand once you actually start tanking
just remember to have one mitigation up rolling at all times, use your aoe combo on 3 targets and you already have most of it down
learning to know when you no longer need to use mitigations is probally the key to improving more
hjey question for hunt log where do i find these lil guys?
ive checked all over that section
I am level 61 currently so I sort of have experience tanking already
What does “grants astral fire or removed umbral ice” mean? Also I’m confused as to what my Transpose spell even does?
ty!
Astral fire and umbral ice are phases that you enter when you use a fire or ice spell
Transpose simply switches what phase you are in at will without having to cast fire or ice
Does race really matter?
What does that phase do?
transpose lets you skip that step
Being in that phase unlocks certain fire spells and other spells that require you to be in fire phase
I dont play black mage enough to give you the full detailed explanation but that is the gist
Then why would I ever skip that phase?
and no race does not matter, the racial effects are trivial at best
astral fire gives you more damage on fire spells (1.4x, 1.6x, 1.8x per rank), umbral ice gives you MP regen (increasing with each stack)
Because you will run out of mana in astral fire
And you need to be in umbral ice to regen tha tmana back
No it's not, most things in character creation are purely for rp or cosmetic
Ahhhh
Thanks guys
throughout levels, while you change the exact spells you cast and how you swap between AF/UI, you still keep the same flow
hey how can i hit trick attack its always miss
burn MP in AF for damage, regen MP in UI
Thanks a lot
I dont play ninja i cant help you unfortuantly 😔

Wait till you unlock suiton
trick attack requires 'hide' kind of useless until lvl45
summoner supremacy RISE UP
i always use suiton
you generally don't rely on hide -> trick attack for the most part
im not using hide
with suiton up you should be able to trick attack fine
Wait I don't get it then
are you practicing on a higher level dummy?
How it misses
What does addle do? It says it lowers intelligence and mind by 10% what does that mean combat wise
if i hit the trick attack shouldent be a debuff on enemy icon ?
does buying an expansion give you extra game time?
Yeah it should
no extra game time with registering an expansion
it didn't appear
only the base game on a platform you don't have registered
basically magic mitigation, if the boss is using a magic raidwide damage, applying addle before the boss does that makes it do less damage
Lower boss raidwide/tank buster usually
it's not a big deal while leveling, but tossing it up can help
it's more notable when you reach endgame content and addle can help a good bit more
Raidwide?
You can use it whenever the big guy casting somethinf
Ah
raidwide = damage from the boss that hits the whole party
Attack that hit the whole party
So use addle as its casting?
yeah, as long as it's up before the cast finishes, it will apply
Alright
there are some nuances for certain things but for the most part that's the case
Yeah, not all attack are magical but most are
But better used than unused since addle is useful
What is an actual sure way to farm trials (The Great Hunt for the Rathalos mount)?
I tried regular queue and the tank didn't want to play so he semi-afked
I tried party finder but no results there.
Is there an LFG channel or something else to use?
What’s a nice comfortable layout for all your spells? I’m sure the default one isn’t really convenient.
Depends on the person I guess
you can customize it to your licking by playing with the hud
it differs from person to person
i was wrong the icon changed
when i was using hide the icon ws diffrent
here's some example hotbars for BLM, they have all spells up to and including 80, but can give you a bit of a baseline for what some people do
!faq blmui
UIs and hotbars are usually something very personal. Put actions that you use a lot (like F4) on easy to reach buttons. We have here some examples from the community.
why did i say licking
Usually people do EX farms on PF so that's the most common and surefire way of farming for it
Maybe you want to consider the time? Most people might be offline ATM in the server
Thanks for the help
This is my hud
See how i on the upper right, I have QERT?
If you go to your settings, you can keybind (meaning make a skill cast on that key) your spells
in my case, I made swift cast be Q, since its easier and quicker for my fingers to reach
can i move gold between 2 of my own characters on the same world?
You're gonna need someone to help hold the Gil for you
Then have them trade with the other character when you log in
Can use the marketboard method
Put an item for 1 bill Gil with your alt
And buy it with your main
That way your alt will get 1 bill Gil
isnt that method also incredibly risky correct me if im wrong
Because?
both good ideas. i havent played hardly at all on the world, a friend who doesnt play anymore gave me 100k but i made an au ra and honestly cant stand the design. wanted to just create a new character and start over lol
the downside is that the marketboard also places a tax
at least on certain items and where you're selling it from
I may be wrong too
all good. i may just invest the 20 bucks and buy a phantasia or whatever its called... just feel like thats over kill but its also 100k gil lol
Can collectible fish be double hooked?
If im in a dungeon and we kill last boss, whenever the loot chest shows up if you need or greed one of them do you need to stay in the dungeon until everyone votes or if I vote then leave before everyone else finishes casting there vote will I still roll for the item?
If you leave, you pass on everything
tyvm :)
pretty sure not, from the last time i tried it
though that may have been due to not good enough stats
there is no time bonus for tradecraft leves right?

Time bonus?
Tradecraft leves are simple turn-ins, so there's no time limit of any kind.
You get double experience and gil if the item is HQ
I didnt get the game steam one so I got the one from the actually webpage is there anyway I can move the installed folder?
Do I have all my skills in Bozja or do I still have to do class quests?
you should have them all by default
though I can't say for sure since it expects you to be level 71 at minimum, and the last job quest that gives a skill was at 70
What are levequests
just saw someone the same level as me have gear that was well over what i had, i hovered the items and the stats were in yellow does anyone know where i can get this gear?
Do I need to watch a guide on how to tank or is it easy enough to just pick up on my own?
I'm curious how to quickly switch between specific mobs if I ever lose aggro, I play on ps4 so I'm using a controller 🤔
does delebrum reginae give exp?
is sacred soil (sch) okay to macro for placement?
nope
@strange elk you will not lost aggro if youre doing it right
only level 80's can queue into it
for casual content, you can learn your own way honestly - not that hard
yea its generally ok to use macros for ground aoes since they can be a bit annoying to place
sweet thank you! was just worried because I'm new to healers, good to know!
Could someone help me understand XP from dungeons? I've done a dungeon for the first time which the main story mission lead me to, it gave me almost 150k XP. Is it because it's part of the story line and it's my first time doing it, or do dungeons give that much XP on their own
The one I did was The thousand Maws of Toto-Rak
you uhh
improve your squad
@merry knot dungeons give good xp along with first time completion bonuses. Its good to do them if you need to level and all
i have already improved the squad ^ ^
The level 40 flagged mission is VERY rough if you don't have chemistries that boost stats.
or don't outlevel by a lot
Toto-Rak is not the first dungeon in the story
I recommending feeding this site all of your squadron stats/levels and training stats, and see if it can math out what trainings and set-up is possible to meet the needed stats.
Manage your squadron and find automatically the best combinations for the hardest missions.
cna someone explain how potd works for leveling u outside of it?
You get a lump of experience based on your outside level and the floorset you completed after beating the boss on the 10th floor of the set.
so its worth doing then to level up a 2ndary class?
Having trouble installing/updating the free trial mac client it keeps giving me an error
POTD is great for whenever queue times are long, mainly for DPS
It’s not as much exp as dungeons, but if you’re a dps the queues may be much faster which may make up for the difference
for tanks and healers dungeon grinding is likely to be faster
ok cause im in que for sastasha and its been 9mins already
used to my healer where ques were like instant :/
That’s a normal queue for a dps
is there anyway to validate the files of the game?
hey whats the fastest way to lvl 70/80?
!faq altlvlguide
daily roulettes and dungeon spam
can i completely ignore the regular yellow sidequests? they only give purely xp and dont unlock anything right
Why haven't i unlocked the austerities of earth quest I meet the reqs?
Is it faster to farm the raids or Zadnor for Shb relic?
thx
there are one or two that might give an emote or minion, but for the most part, yeah
are you far enough into the story? the Austerities quests need you to have beaten the relevant primal.
how do i take my chocobo out of the stable?
so..aether currents..do you just use the compass over and over to find them? they do not appear in the map right
right
Yep just got that now ty
most of the time, you find the currents nearby the path you're taking through the zone following the MSQ anyway
thanks
are guildhests worth doing? i only got like 1 unlocked
not really
only at the very low levels
They’re obsolete “tutorial” content
they quickly lose their value in experience once you can do dungeons
@leaden ginkgo you just need to go to training board, choose the physical and mental one, it will shift your excess tactics point to the other two, waiting 1 hour and your squadron is ready for flag mission
yes, they're just there to be sold to vendors
For a fishing levequest do I need to get the quest beforehand or can i just get the items and then get the quest?
you can pre-get the items
ok
are the quests infinite
tanks use determination stat for gems?
leves are limited by how many allowances you currently have @scarlet hinge
can hold a total of 100
can see how many you currently have at the bottom of the quest journal
i have 100 allowances
where in the hud settings can i change the debuffs i have active on my targets.
currently cant see the debuffs i have active
technically never, but doing so cuts time needed for them to finish growing
thjanks
TL;DR: early fertilizing cuts the most time off, with it being stronger for plants that need longer to fully grow.

Any advice on how I can improve this for rotation. I am a beginner paladin
I don't recommend having hallowed ground be on such a button much better reserved for damage actions
level 61
and a general tip i follow is to group up all the mitigation skills
how far into Stormblood do you need to go to unlock the lvl 70 poetics gear merchant?
complete the leveling story
yes, but i recommend a separate hotbar entirely
oh man, that's so far away haha. Thanks for the answer
ok
you'll need 3 hotbars or so as a paladin, and for most jobs in general
how hard is it to get anima weapon?
it's a giant poetics grind if you want the whole thing
I would recommend not using hotbar buttons past 6 or so since you can’t reliably stretch your fingers to them at the same time as moving. Instead you could rebind those slots to QERTFGZXCV
i kinda just want the awoken one
in that case all you need to do is a small fate grind in HW zones and a bunch of dungeons
no wait, i think awoken is just the first step, so just the fate grind
so pretty fast overall, probably 2-3 hours at the very most.
I do have the skills, but I don't where to put them
For example I see Arm’s Length, a powerful defensive ability for dungeon packs, is missing
You need more than one hotbar

@sacred crag you can unlock more hotbars to put skills on in system settings
@native skiff go to target bar setting, tick the show separate element box and you can set up the hp, status, cast bar of target individually
I would definitely stop using 7890-= though
i ahve them set to indivdually already 🤔
@native skiff i mean, select the bar, click on the gear icon, tick the box and the big target bar broke into 3 smaller ones from the initial position(or the last where you put it), from there you can put them separately however you want
Are mounts account-wide? I have Magitek Armor on one character, but it’s not accessible from another.
I've been playing for 1 year and I've never done Any Way the Wind Blows, is there some requirement for unlocking? Just today I found out it exists lol
Aside from having access to the Gold Saucer, no
that is a fate in gold saucer
so it isn't like all other Gates?
er gate
It’s just a matter of being in the Gold Saucer when it happens to come up
yeah, I've done all the others countless of times, it just seems weird I've never done that
Generally no.
faster to do POTD or duties for leveling other classes?
It think it’s on the same cycle with The Slice is Right, but don’t quote me on that
Only account-wide mounts are mainly from collector's editions and mogstation
Is there a good place I can go to find an FC?

Thanks :)
Oh, that’s unfortunate. Thank you.
Well, it's nice to know there is still new thing to find in the game XDD I'll enjoy like if it's a new thing on a patch XD
is there a way to remove the clicky sound when selecting something with the mouse and/or using abilities with and without the mouse?
Lock your hotbar
Then mouse won’t make such a click
There’s always a slight, very soft click though
it is locked and it makes the sound
The sound itself I think is classified as a system sound
So the only way to turn it off is to mute all system sounds
no other way, rlly
Not on its own, no
hey when will this sale be over ?

there is a third-party addon that allows you to blacklist specific sound effects and stop them from playing
what is called?
i have the quick launcher
oh, so much better. Thanks
Soundfilter doesn’t work that reliably as far as I’ve heard though
Like, doesn’t have enough specificity
at least it is removing the clicky sound

I’ve been enjoying the trial quite a bit and want to buy the complete edition, but now I’m torn as to whether I should stay with the Steam version and pay a full $80 CAD now, wait for the Steam version to go on sale again, or if I should buy it on PlayStation or Mac while it’s on sale on those stores (PlayStation Store and Square Enix Store respectively). I have a 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro so I’m not sure how well the game would run on it. I do have a PS5 so the PlayStation version would work well for me. What should I do?
found it, the site was inaccurate
just found it in limsa leve but the report is in quarymill lol
anyone else use mmo mouse? this my first time trying it and its meeeh i wanna go back to my binds but maybe im not use to it yet.
i think my friend is using it, he said it needs time to get used to it since he played the game with keyboard for 2 years already
quests that require you to have an item in your inventory (i.e. relic), can they be in chocobo saddlebag?
Why does the leve quest giver not have the quest the wiki said it supposed to have does it change ?
levemettes below 50 rotate between 4(?) available quests
but only show 3 at a time
it shows only 2
you have to do one to force the 4th one to rotate in
then you have one already active from the levemette
I never activated one
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Is there a way to check what server I’m in without leaving the server?
check one of your top corners if you didn't move the clock UI
I didn’t move anything but I don’t see it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Top right corner
If you're in an instance you're not on any server
You’ve disabled it
How do I fix that

So I just found an NPC in Mor Dhona this just called "Collectable Dealer" near the other Collectables NPCs, saying she's taking collectables that have "exceeded stock". How long has she been a thing?
if you visit a different world that isnt your home world can you still do quests?
Yeah
since they reworked collectables. she's there to take leftovers from the old system
oh sweet. What restrictions are there?
When was that? Before 5.5?
5.4, IIRC
that sounds right
either 5.4 or 5.3
oh no yeah it was 5.3
Heya! I'm confused between ninja or samurai as my melee DPS. Any suggestions?
no
on which to play?
You break my heart
Yes sir
I know a lot of the slots are not filled, but a lot of the skills that I would otherwise have are not unlocked. I can't get them because I don't have the job quests available yet. Any advice on what I should put in these slots because I am feeling overwhelmed
Most people would say whichever one is more fun the other half would say Samurai is meta @frigid brook but honestly whichever is more fun
If you already have paladin i'd recommend just binding everything to 80 instead of going one at a time
Is their DPS and team utility similar?
doesn't matter, you can still bind buttons you don't have
not sure i'm a tank main. I know that samurai is just PURE dps with not much utility. not sure about ninja
everything is pure DPS, all buffs now just enable MORE DPS
anyways
!action trick attack
Delivers an attack with a potency of 350.
500 when executed from a target's rear.
Additional Effect: Increases target's damage taken by 5%
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Hidden.
Executes a specific ninjutsu action coinciding with the combination of mudra made immediately beforehand.
If any other action is used before the mudra are combined and the ninjutsu executed, Ninjutsu will fail.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
Conversely, execution of weaponskills triggers the cooldown of this action.
Just unlocked samurai, it dumped a whole lot of moves on me altogether. I'll have to use tutorials to figure it out so was wondering which would be better between the two 🤔
I'd recommend Weskalber
what do you mean by "binding everything to 80"
exactly that, you just go through your actions and traits and put everything on your hotbars
even the ones you don't have yet
so you can get an idea of how much hotbar space you'll need
Oh trick attack seems good
I don't get what this is ?
youtuber
Oh sweet thanks you
not perfect, but overall has pretty good recommendations for what to do rotationally for jobs while leveling them
Is there a way to mooch a fish that is already in your inv?

ok ty
Summoner seems like a nightmare to play on controller o.o I can't really control its placement for attacks that could deal damage to more enemies is there a trick to it?
Do tanks do less damage while leveling?
How long should I wait before I start getting into crafting?
does any know when the sale for the complete edition on the square enix store ends?
Naturally they do less damage than a dps job, but they do ample damage
You will have no trouble doing quests as a tank or a healer
Can your character play in different servers or does it have to be the same one? I’m trying to join my friend but he’s on a different server.
should be 18th august +- a lil because timezons
The main leveling method is dungeons anyway though
So for HOH what are the requirements for unlocking each floor? Just kill x amount of enemies to proceed to the next?
ty so much upgrading from trial soon :D
so every datacenter/server in NA are based on the same US region?
Yes, aether primal and crystal are all located in Sacramento, CA
You can visit and play on other servers as long as they’re in the same datacentre. Within the next few months this is being expanded to allow cross-datacentre travel.
thats west coast, right?
Yeah
oh thats explain my latency. 😦
Ight thanks
If your ping is under about 120ms you should have no problems
If it’s between 120ms and like 220ms you’ll still be able to play fine, you just can’t double weave on some jobs so your damage won’t be completely optimal
Over 220ms you might have to be more proactive when dodging but it’s still playable
where can I check it? I'm saying the latency is high but its basically how I'm feeling the game
!faq datacenterip

How often does the polar bear mount fate spawn??
198ms
im lvl 20 now when do i get my mount?
you from south america?
That’s kinda high but totally playable
so I probably won't be able to double weave on classes like Summoner?
im not sure but i think 10 mins
yes
Won’t be able to double weave but that’s not the end of the world
i have the same ping and its hard to interrupt
Dang it
what does double weave means?
oh =(. From a video I've checked Summoner looks quite funny but double weave seems important for them to perform well
You can still perform fine without it, there are alternative openers and so on available
You won’t be able to optimise to the very highest level but you’ll be able to clear content fine
ah good to know
weaving in general is using an oGCD ability after an instant, or in some cases a fast cast (where cast time < recast time)
Using two oGCDs between gcds:
!faq weaving
double weaving is using two oGCDs between GCDs
what lvl can i start changing classes?
why are my msq's only giving me 4k xp?
If your ping is too high (ballpark over 120ms) you won’t be able to do this without clipping your gcd, which is undesirable
After completing the level 10 class quest for your starting class
because you're in the patch content, which was originally at level cap and thus gave no exp at all
and how do i change classes?
my ping was 140 on wow sadge
You’ve reached post-ARR, quests which were formerly done at the level cap of 50 and had exp added as an afterthought
do the quest to unlock them, and equip the new class' weapon
what does that mean?
Means that they’re meant to keep you at around level 50
do i need to double weave as a tank?
For about 80 quests
it means you're between the point where originally you would be maxed at level 50, and the next expansion, which raised the level cap to 60
Optimally, yes
so the exp rewards are minimal so you don't overlevel.
what?
Though again you can still play without it
Warrior in particular barely needs to double weave at all
what about drk?
Same general answer applies
@uneven brook in general, once you hit each expansion level cap (50, 60, 70), quests originally weren't designed to level you further, since there weren't any additional levels past that. After the fact, they added in a little bit of bonus exp to give you a little bit of exp to ease the leveling into the next expansion. But since there's a large number of quests, they didn't want you super overleveled, so the exp at level caps is a bit diminished
Double weaving needed to play optimally, but you can play without it
Until Heavensward yeah
I was wondering, are raids savage gears the same (look whise) than their normal counterparts?
Yes but they’re dyeable
Aside the fact that only savage has weapons
so i need to buy the hw expansion?
No it’s included in trial/starter edition
sometimes there's slight design difference between normal and savage gear on top of the ability to dye it, but dyability is the main difference
Question for SoS EX: During Imbued Coruscance, do the donut AoE ever happen when charged with holy?
i feel like im never going to end ARR,|| i just got the purple crystal from the sylphs||
Yeah Alexander Creator Savage has different gear designs from normal
so much text to read
Yes
Any combination can occur
Err.. backward: does the spead AoE ever happen with Holy
So spread, then immediately run back in for the stack?
No that’s binary
Except during the part in the last phase where he does the five mechanics back to back
alright thanks
Can I somehow upgrade materia? Like from III to IV?
is this how i level up 70 to 71?
no
do the level 69 dungeon
or leveling roulette if you haven't got the bonus yet
so earth will always be with on self aoe, and holy will always be with donut?
my wife is trying to start the game but she hasnt got the email from SE yet?
poetics
are they still out of keys or something
Same thing as the patch content msqs, the (then) lvl cap dungeons won't give you tons of exp. Instead they give poetics
you basically trade your EXP reward for currency
do this one?
yes
i get alot exp?
yes because its a leveling dungeon
so I'm not sure which channel to ask this so pardon me if its the wrong one. but does Leatrix Latency fix actually work?
Could anyone explain the Glamour system? I've just unlocked it and I'm a bit confused.
So I have these prisms and I can use them to turn a piece of gear into Glam but is it permanent?
For example can I turn a chest piece into Glam for 1 Prism and use it on any chest in the future for free like unlocking it as an option? Or is it 1 Prism to turn my current chest into a different chest?
it costs 1 prism to APPLY or DEPOSIT a glamour. the glamour prism cost does not apply to GLAMOUR PLATES
What's the best way to look for a free company?
You can always WITHDRAW your items from the Glamour Dresser
you will not be refunded the glamour prism however
!faq communityfinder
how i unlock raids?
which 2 omega fights are fastest for the final step (the one time one, 30x6 normal raids) of the shb relic weapon?
is there a way to turn off exp gained and loot rolls from party chat? I made my own tab with just party checked but i keep getting that stuff making party chat less usable
@vernal elbow you can not apply glamour to all piece of gear, be aware of class/job specific gear set, the one you want the most is all classes, disciples of war/magic/land/hand as you can share the glamour just like gear piece. And you can permanently glamour as long as the piece inside the glamour dresser
When do i start earning bozjan coins? And when i would be able to trade with resistance supplier?
after castrum
for both?
yes
thank u
O1 and o3
So use 1 prism to put a piece inside glamour dresser and then it's free to use on all future pieces?
yes
that only applies when Tab 4 is the "main" tab
So the only cost is turning a piece of gear into a glamour piece by putting it in your dresser?
@vernal elbow yes
Thanks guys 🙂
Should I be careful with my prisms at low level? Are they easy to get later?
200 per seal
1 per 200 seals*
No
@vernal elbow and if you play tank for example, which they share gear, you can specifically choose each glamour plate to each class in case you want to use job specific glamour on the same piece of gear that otherwise not compatible when change job
It will always be either earth or holy; either pbaoe or donut; either move or stay still.
Does it matter what company you join?
Three mechanics which are each a binary option.
Holy can go with either pbaoe or donut
Earth can also go with either pbaoe or donut
Etc
If you mean grand company, any of them is fine
Aside from food, FC, beginner ring and pre-order earring are there any easily accessible exp boosts?
Only difference is where you'll go for gc stuff and some glamour you can buy
besides those, nope
The next best things are the FC/Squadron buffs
but those require decent time sinks
what is potency?
Oof I see. Thank you
tl;dr one of the many "raw" numbers used in the damage calculation
you can use it to guess how much damage you'll do based on your other abilities
but you cannot compare potencies between jobs most of the time
@spice kraken the comparison of power between your many skills, mainly understand as how much would you gain from using this as compared to other
can you explain it like im 5?
The class/job thing is quite confusing for a WoW nerd like me. Are some jobs only able to be pursued by a certain class?
Your tab still shows general
if i have max hp, does that mean my skill will deal 270% more damage?
you need to switch your chat tab as well
yes, every class has only ONE job advancement, except for Arcanist
yes, basically

@spice kraken for dealing damage, it is used to determined when to use single-target and when to use AoE based on how many enemy around, except boss fight
well class and job are different
@arctic wraith EXPANSION jobs do not have any PREREQUISITE classes, so you can pursue them anytime
so it's not class/job
jesus, they couldve written "will deal 2.7x more damage"
Thank you @slate arrow !!! And what might an expansion job be??
Machinist, Dark Knight, Astrologian, Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer, Gunbreaker, Reaper, and Sage are expansion jobs
this have full list of class and jobs
i didnt understand that
Oyyy. I’m on the free trial right now and want to buy the game, but I don’t want to waste the free month before I figure everything out
free trial is unlimited
If you've already bought Starter you're not on the free trial
youre saying that if i have 2 skills and one of them is more "potent", that means its stronger?
Is Thaumaturge hard to pick up?
yes, but this is where combo potency comes in
just need to talk to the guild in Ul'Dah
can do it from lv 1
Playstyle wise lol
oooo if you are following weskalber guide from lv 1
it's easy
every class is easy to pick up
Weskalber(?)
youtuber
Oh ok
with currently the best leveling guides
Gotcha gotcha thanks
*leveling rotation guides
What do I do when am missing iLvL, whats the easiest way to get the gear from ?
hmmm, so that is to say that if i combo it, its gonna deal x times more dmg?
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Black Mages how to Black Mage properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that...
go to Idllyshire and buy poetics gear, Shire gear specicially
Oh man. Thanks!
he explains every level progressions from lv 1-80
yes compared to 100 potency
like what do you need to change
because by default most combo actions deal only 100 potency outside of a combo
hm, gotcha
what the ost name for stormblood normal battle music
the one that says alot bout blood
Triumph
thanks
@spice kraken skill A do 300 potency to 1 target, B do 120 to all in 5 yalms, and there are 3 enemies, you will use B cus in total it is 360, why if it only 2, you use A cus it 60 higher when use B
question: what is a yalm?
jesus christ
a yard, but eorzean
@spice kraken the game measurement of distance, 5 yalms is the standard for most AoE skills, use the skill in front of striking dummy so that you hit it at the edge of your skill and you get what this truly mean
since i didn't see anyone specifically mention it, do your level 60 job quests
that gives i210 gear
Also do your job quests!
I think they based it on Imperial System

like inch, foot yard
yep
ilm, fulm, yalm
Ilm, Fulm, Yalm, Malm
so people from US should understand it easier
Onzes/Ponzes/Tonzes
thanks, i always wondered if its better to use AoE on a group or just focus a single target
as a tank
for most jobs, 3 targets makes your AoE better damage
for tanks it's at 2 enemies for most of their aoe skills
@obsidian patio @knotty lily pretty sure I did em, but dont think I got any gear from it
pretty sure they won't complain as long as you made sure you got all the enmity 😂
open up the coffer from the quest
they start complaining if you don't hit all the mobs and they got hit
@slate arrow where the vendors at exactly ? am kinda lost
i always find funny when i lose aggro from 1 mob for 1 second and the blm starts running lmao
double checks oh yeah samurai. in that case you don't get gear from your level 60 quest
How are there unsellable items listed on the Market. Oars?
unsellable is different from untradable
chill bro, im not gonna let you die, i just need time for my gcd
unsellable means a vendor won't buy it
you can weave your provoke
Ahh
while you are waiting for your gcd
Do you guys think its worth it to do BCoB synced? This is how i originally wanted to do it but having issues finding people with party finder, so considering just running unsynced instead
yeah but sometimes its on cd when a boss summons trash
do i use holyspirit when i cant reach the boss? im level 70 as a paladin
I would suggest doing it Synced if you're not farming it for the drops
It's a joke unsynced
yeah its my first time, I just felt like people were hyping it up to be pretty epic, so itd be lame to just blast through it in half an hour
Oh wait that's Ultimate
better than not doing anything
You can't unsync ultimate
at 70 you ideally don't want to spend mana outside of your requiescat magic burst phase
better to shield lob if you really need to
I thought that was the normal one
oh i am talking about the regular coils, not ultimate
Nvm I misread twice
