hyping cause people are basic, lol
Yea normal ones def do synced if you want to have fun
their favourite streamer does it once to gain viewers and they think it's the gold standard and should be followed
Or don't worry about them because there's content that's more fun later on.
Coils are .... old. And classes had different kits then.
are all seasonal events in ff14 this lackluster?
hmm I see, ok I'll try out unsynced for the first part at least and see how it goes
when i use a piece of gear can i sell it on the market board afterwards?
which job is the best tank in the game rn?
oh i wanted too buy a armorer piece
but i assume same applies
the one you play best
!faq meta
Yes, as far as I've seen
im not gonna switch my class because of the meta, im just curious which one is the best
the one you like and play best
The answer is yes.
lol
Dark Knight is the best tank
Because it gets a badass shadow clone and a move called Edge of Darkness
Its Paladin
yoooo drk and paladin limit break are sick
trump was giving hints that he plays 14 as a paladin
been trying to make a free trial account it said it sent the code to my email then i checked my email but no code
If you want to be a real, impenetrable "tank", than paladin, mysterious, deadly guys than dark knight, flashy high damage should be gun breaker
Just started Eureka and I've been told that Kirin's osode is very helpful in there, So my question is if the Osode is better than Aug Scaeven gear?
need to use this link https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/au/
Heavensward expansion now included in the Free Trial! Play up to level 60 for free without time restrictions.
to create your account
ill try
or use steam
Scavean is BiS for lv 70
highest ilvl
it said wait 24 hours so i use my other email
Osode is best for eureka content, yes
but outside of eureka it's definitely scaevan
oooo
Okies, thank you both ^^/
all of eureka in general, but yeah
Does it matter which world i play on or can i still play with everyone from the same datacenter?
can with the exception of being in the same FC
quick q, can you w2w the container section in castrum abania or is that too spicy?
Oh okey
How is the new server twintania?
let me check the census
census
@obsidian patio Wait but you should acually get 210 gear from class quest ? I unlocked the lvl60 spell so pretty sure I done it
I wouldn't trust any census nowadays with the huge population surge that happened fairly recently in the past month or two
ohhh this census https://luckybancho.ldblog.jp/wsurvey.htm?world=Twintania
only the jobs that existed in ARR/HW get i210 gear
but yeah, it's pretty inaccurate as Yilmaz said
i forgot about that
@obsidian patio also dont see anything else up here, isnt there like a lvl 60 job stone or smth like that ? nothing in the bags too
Ah
Is it quite new?
2019 according to
are they gonna add new skills to current jobs on endwalker?
yes
i see hmm just i dont see a lot of guilds recruiting for it on this discord
check out
They'll add/remove/adjusts stuff as needed to keep jobs roughly at the same amount of actions
!faq communityfinder
Grab idyllshire gear? Or did you need something else
and login with your account
Been looking at chat on and off so not sure if I missed something
oh thank you vielen 😄
@stray plover you will have to finish the entire HeavensWard expansion, including its aftermath scenario quest(like 50 quests) to be able to unlock StormBlood job quest
@sleek needle did just that now, thanks everyone
can i change the font size and position of cooldown text/mana cost?
Aight nice, enjoy 
Most likely in settings, not at pc rn tho so can't check it unfortunately, but I know you can change the font size of the dmg you/everyone else does
what are the fireworks for
For fun
no event?
Oh
There is one, yes, hang on
Thought you meant sparklers/fireworks the item, my bad
is the gold saucer permanent or is it an event?
Permanent
i had a feeling something was happening lol people in gridania were just sitting around watching the fireworks
There's an event schedule pinned here, if you're interested in future ones
if i glamour an item and store it in the dresser, am i gonna get the appearance anyways?
You still need to apply it to your gear
when i store a glamoured item, do i get the original item's glamour?
no, it has to be the glamour itself
fuck, i cant explain it
Can someone let me know the cactpot numbers for aether?
@spice kraken you get the one you store, the initial appearance not the one it has become
this ^^^. thank you
Can someone give me a recommendation that has raided on both, and recorded high logs, what did you have more fun with parsing, mnk/sam or mch/brd?
also a question, is there a limit to how many you can store, both the dresser and armory?
400 in the dresser
armoire only holds specific gear
which is mainly level 50 job sets, achievement gear, collab gear, and seasonal gear.
and some quest-exclusive gear
how long does a world transfer from the mogstation usually take?
its so stupid that they set a limit to the dresser
400 in total or each part has that much?
generally it should be instant, but mogstation/server congestions can make it take a bit
400 slots in total
I only recently hit 300 for my dresser, but I'm also using it to store a bunch of odds and end accessories from special events/rare fates
so that's probably like 10-20 slots
is there a mount if you get all the shb dragons yet?
I mostly use the dresser to store glamour that's expensive and/or has an expensive dye attached to it
is there a LFG channel or anything like that ?
!mount landerwaffe
Armed literally to the wings, this mechanical dragon is believed to have been created by the Allagan Empire to combat the creatures whose form it mimics. Magnificent and proud, it allows none upon its back save one whom it deems a true hero.
The Dragon Made (Quest)
YOOO TY
closest things are #494379215420915712 and #retired-na-datacenters
for the discord
the quest for the dragon is in the lochs from the guy that gives you the ruby/emerald/diamond weapon extreme trials
How do you check which is the current preferred server?
!faq worldstatus
So whats the consensus on gearing while leveling? Just hit 70 on summoner, do I really need to get poetics gear?
none currently exist for any NA/EU datacenter
Ah i see 🙂
@fringe lotus just buy new weaps and whatever you got leftover on left side armor
poetics gear will be your fastest and easiest increase in item level, and SHB content at minimum assumes you're using like i370 gear
wtf is this?
where is sundry splendors in kugane? i'm right at the coordinate location but i can't find the NPC
if you can't see them you need to do more story
they appear after completing the stormblood leveling story
i see, tyvm
So... TT/Achievement question: Was the Kumite set of achievements ever not "tournament match wins"?
Because somehow i have them and i don't recall playing in any tournament
Nope
If you mean the drafts that is
because i have the Duelist title, but nowhere near as many wins for Open Tournaments
i'm in my first huntrain, should i be lvl 80 or can i do at 74?
Do you have to be 80 tho, is what I think he's asking?
got it thanks!!
Ah nvm then 😂
is there a way for getting a sanguine scepter on trial without leveling goldsmith?
nope
/cry
You also need Blacksmith and Miner at 50 too
For chocobo training, is it worth spending MGP on grade 3 feed if yo'ure still early on? Or should I save it for later on, higher level chocobos?
Hello, my friend bought the game and cant buy another month to get the reffer a friend rewards, is there a way to pay for one more month?
I wouldn’t recommend bothering with the arr relic weapon while you’re on the free trial.
Why can’t they buy another month Werhli?
Was there a trials series in HW?
yes
Warring Triad
Ever since then yeah
Morning guys. I wanna ask about a monoa mask. I got it on my dragoon, i made a new pugilist yesterday but i cant get the item from the main story, neither from the calamity salvager. Is there a way i get the mask?
The warring triad is 3 I think...?
IT says it will only renewel when its over. So he cant get the reffer items.
It is
So is 4 lords funnily
And the next one is 3, next is also 3
Cancel subscription and then add game time
Also I think we fight like, 4 bosses in SB and ShB, but one of them is solo instance lol
In both of them
Also for ARR, how many trail were there in 5.1 to 5.5?
Like, 3?
3 primals and Ultimate weapon I think?
If we count all extremes
I guess mog counts
Oh right Mog
Apart from ARR, there are seven trials per expansion:
Two from the leveling MSQ
One as the final boss of the MSQ which receives an extreme in x.1
One as the final boss of the x.3 MSQ
Three from the trial series; x.2, x.4 and x.5
ARR had 8 extreme trials in total.
ShB also had an extra in the form of Memoria Misera EX
8 total in ARR
Nine if you count Odin
Cool
oh yeah odin
though he's more like an extreme-lite according to how the game groups duties
Who is pseudo-EX
but still pretty tough
Odin is just like, super fucking hard non-EX right?
Easy mechanics but EX level damage values
yes
oh my
Boy does he
he actually starts it automatically at 15%
I always thought the gate between hard and casual content is enrage
I mean, hard enrage that counts down from start of fight
yeah you rarely ever see enrages in normal content
Yeah
it's basically just odin, O3N and first boss of dun scaith
Hello sir/mam,
am i the only one that is lagging?
maybe other bosses of eden/omega have enrages
There are like a few enrage, but I think they are all other type of CDs
Odin also has an attack called Valknut which does scaling damage so if you let yourself get clipped you’ll die even at 80.
50% hp
Oh yeah, Dun Scaith is super notable
I think some Alex nm bosses had enrages
Anyone knows which is the best way to farm light for the Zodiac nexus relic
I always remember hitting it once every time I run that thing
The junk enemy.
I think you can in Bozja
Might not be best
Unless it only started happening very recently, I don't think Aether has had much issues with latency
since i stopped playing about 3 hours ago today
Tam-Tara
Or Ifrit or Sastasha if they have bonus window
Spam em unsynced.
question about belt removal: DoL and DoH stats will be lowered, do that mean they have to adjust gathering node and crafting receipt requirement? Most of the information are about DoW and DoM right now
Also I think ShB also have one extra EX
The cidception ex
I really want to do Cidception again
The lost stats will be redistributed over the other gear pieces
Plz add NG+
I mentioned that one 
Hello all, can I buy started edition with DLCs And not active game time yet?
If you don’t register the game codes yes
@jade quartz oh, how am I not think about that
Nice, sry I missed it
But yeah, in general I think each expansion is about 7-8 ex, 12 savage fights, something like that
SB also have the 4 man ex
Can you solo Rathalos EX?
Is it even still in the game?
Hey guys, new to the game level 27 right now, where does one go to find a guild?
Wait the normal version is 8 man?
!faq communityfinder
Didn’t know
Ye
Thought both are 4 man
i'll check it out thanks
Skip Soar is like, last trail of HW?
Yeah
Trials on Normal mode is always 8man. Rath being a 4man on ex mode is a shout out to monster Hunter which does 4 man parties.
Nice
how long does it usually take to receive account wide mount from mogstation?
I see
Up to 10 days according to the mog station.
oof thank you
It normally doesn’t take that long mind you.
But it’s never instant and always takes a while.
2 days for me now
Usually under 30minutes but lately the servers have been very congested so people have been waiting like a full day.
I see, that make sense
On the mog station after a purchase it says please wait up to 10 days before contacting support.
So its clear they want you to wait a while.
Numpad 0
Thank you guys for the help!
Can rebind, it’s called “interact” in keybinds menu
Which is faster, the first chocobo you get or the Polar Bear from the event
You need the first Chocobo to even ride other mounts I think
Is there a cool-down on leaving and joining free companies?
All mounts share the same run speed
I have the first chocobo and I can ride mounts
Flying is faster overall in speed
Oh, okay lol
In addition to what lyon said, also holding x on pc (by default)
ah I misunderstood
also a question, without access to the marketboard, is there anywhere that you can get good glamour pieces? asking for a friend whos currently in Free Trial rn
Subjective
depends what you think looks good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Like, you can do crafting at least
Are there tomestones for gathering classes?
are the servers up? whenever i launch game crashes
Kinda, it's not tomestojes but crafting and gathering has scrips @scarlet hinge
Are there any like, modern looking clothes
I was thinking about recommending Weaver, but finding materials to level up is kinda..
Fills a similarish role
scrips?
Yes but that is generally decent leveled crafts
Scrips
Yellow and white ones
You get it from stuff like collectables and custom deliveries
Also that last bit is why you do all the crafting classes at the same time and do gathering
As you are clearly finding, it's very intricate
Where one crafting class will need several crafting mats made by the other crafters
Yea I acknowledge, I have a max leveled Weaver myself
But I knew about the Best Man's set from Uldah, the Manderville sets from the questlines, and the armor sets in Gold Saucer
Just looking for more options for free trial players
Orange aoe is for enemies
Blue is for allies
What is green for?
green AOE?
Yeah, a green indicator
oh cool
Took me a minute to work out what the hell did green aoes lol
what's a good tank to play if you're primarily a caster player?
Where do I go to unlock trials extremes? (For shadowbringer content)
I was tanking something and I didn't know if I should run from it or nah
Doesn't really matter honestly @slim raft
I mostly play the hell out of RDM, BLM, and AST
if you like having magical stuff, then paladin or dark knight
The minstrel in Crystarium
@wintry chasm thx
morning. in order to get ifirit extreme, do i need to first beat the others then it becomes available ?
Yes
Extreme trials for the first three go Garuda>Titan>Ifrit
the rest are unlocked in any order for the base game primals
ok
Mm

Paladin is a safe and easy tank to pick up.
Plus it casts spells later on.
im confused i did my dungeon 1 time i got alot exp then i did it 2nd time not much at all 😦
Roulette bonuses one a day only.
Was it a roulette? Those only giv-
when does it reset pt?
!daily
^ 8am pst.
Whatever that is for you
ok
Clemency OP though.
how i unlock raid tab?
By unlocking raids.
^
First one is at level 50 in mor dhona.
ok
why can i not hear my game sound
Did you accidentally hit the mute sound command? I’ve done that.
Check your system config first.
I don’t remember it but I’ve hit it before by accident and always forget to unbind it.
Huh, I never knew
i can hear sounds from other applications
Check your game settings.
where is that?
System Configuration-> sound settings.
What are some things I can purchase in the client store to enhance my gaming experience in ff14?
There’s nothing really in the cash shop that does that.
It’s just mounts and cosmetic stuff.
There is the level boost and main story skip.
The mounts are interesting but even if you buy one you can’t use it until you unlock mounts with msq progress.
Might have been nice if you could use it right away but ah well.
There’s no exp boost potions or money drop increases like in other games.
I "picked up" paladin a while back and I'm not sure how much I like the playstyle of Gladiator to justify grinding for Paladin
then again I'm not sure if it's because I hate ARR dungeons or because I don't like "HIT THE COMBO AGAIN WARRIOR"
PLD is a pure tank pre-Stormblood
Honestly as someone that’s been playing it since ARR I feel like shb is when they finally nailed paladin and made it “complete.”
What squadron AI jobs are best for fastest Command Mission clears?
you only have 4 skills for single, and 3 for AoE which in some way, boring as hell before you have the option to use MP in agressive way
Shb paladin is an absolute joy for me to play.
Depends on the mission as they have different requirements.
I'm like 200 hours from ShB is the problem and if ShB is when a class starts to feel complete then I'm fucked
even Gunbreaker?
ah
what's Gunbreaker like?
I only experience the stress of healing their asses because they seem to take assloads of damage
It’s very dps focused and very fun.
It’s got a very fast hack and slash vibe that’s satisfying as hell to play.
hi, i uninstalled my free trial a few months ago, but want to try ffxiv again but i don't remember my password. i keep trying to login to square enix and asking to reset my password, but it hasn't sent a confirmation e-mail for the past half an hour, is this just a bug or a.. feature?
Their system is backed up to hell right now. It may take a while. >_<
also check your spam box
ahh
If you aren’t attached to the free trial character you made there’s always the option of a new account and email.
nothing in spam 😦
It would be faster.
Welp
ok!
@inland pasture since Command is the same as normal dungeon, you have to get the standard 1/1/2 ratio (tank, healer, dpss). And the AI get the most boost to damage so let them be dps while you should play healer as multi-group aggro as tank is not achievable as AI-healer suck
is there way to check what ilevel gear does post arr msq gives?
thank you, i'll let you know if i have any more questions
is there a way to make the cast mask sit on your head instead of your face ?
cat mask
Try /visor
It can change the angle of certain masks.
If that doesn’t work, no.
You’d have to look up the quests themselves.
alright thank you!
Off the top of my head I think it’s 90-100 but don’t quote me on that.
How do I increase my total possible Squadron attributes?
through trainings and leveling them up
does comprehensive do anything if no one levels up from it?
comprehensive training is more experience than the ones that move stats around
so it's better for leveling
Hi, I'm having trouble unlocking the quest "Reach Long and Prosper" I completed the previous quest with the NPC in Idleshire and unlocked the corresponding system of trading in collectibles. Then I went to Rhalgar's Reach and Galiena had a marker above her head but just told me that Rowena's has expanded to this place too and that was it... I don't have anymore quests and I'm a bit desperate because I have done the previous quest and have a crafter on the corresponding level :(
that's all for the quest
some quests are just like that
to where all you do is talk to an NPC and don't actually "Accept" the quest
it just completes after talking to them
is there a way to increase daily beast tribe quest allowance?
nope
are allowances in general just not something you get to increase?
How do I unlock M'naago as a trade in NPC then? Because I have a few items and the wiki says that I have to trade it in with her :s
how far are you in the story?
it needs around 4.1 or 4.2 MSQ for her to be a custom delivery NPC
pretty much
cheers
Try contacting support to have them get rid of it. They usually don't expect people to be in a situation where they hold onto a minion like that.
I'm wondering why people farm poetics, besides for buying blue gear? What else is there to gain from it?
Hey, I wanted to get a glamour armor piece that requires tokens from Memoria Misera Extreme.
Wanted to ask how much difference unsynch might make, in order to know how much I'd need to learn and prepare before the fight.
you can spend them on the scaevan gear to turn into GC seals to turn into items you can sell for money
You can't unsync content from the current expansion
they can also be used for relics! i forgot which ones specifically, but they're used then too lol
That makes things easy, which means a serious study session is needed. Alright, thank you.
I see, I haven't touched my relic quest yet even tho my main has been 80 for a good while
all of them except eurekan in some capacity
yep
What do I do with collectibles I can not turn in?
yes
What kind of items do people sell from there? I've been making money mostly through gathering and crafting
untradable minions/mounts prevent you from rolling on them if you used them
cordials and glamour prisms are the easy choices due to generally being stable in price
and ventures
I see
anyone know the answer to this?
I answered
Just throw them away
?
yep
Yep
if they don't meet the minimum they're useless
Ok
They're 100% waste of space
btw I can turn in and infinite amount?
yep
to the vendor and still get the same exp
thats nice
Are all fish able to be put into a aquarium?
you put it down in an apartment or house
ooo
No, fish that can will say so in their description
do new players automatically join when someone leaves during group content?
Should I get every fishing collectible at least once or should I just focus on the one at my level
Usually folks go for whichever one yields the highest exp but getting that for fishing can be inconsistent on the best of days.
So id say get whatever exp you can.
ok
The group leader gets a prompt to search for new players
am i able to put in my FC house or do i need to be set permission for that ?
Also on this https://ffxivguild.com/ff14-fishing-fisher-leveling-guide-a-realm-reborn/4/ this refers to eorzea time not real time right
re the grilled corn
You need the permission setting to set up any furnishing in an fc house unless you own the house yourself.
ok
Yes.
ET means Eorzea time
ok
Unless you buy your own fc room. You can do what you want in there.
o i can buy my own room ? cool
300k gil. Yes. But you lose it if you ever leave the Fc.
Alternatively you can buy your own apartment for 500k.
Is Palace of the dead good to level in? Feel like I get no xp
It’s faster for dps than sitting in dungeon queues.
floor 51-60 is when the experience starts to get good, and is the floor set most people spam
Doing 51-60, felt like we got nothing.. ^^
hey so would it be better for me to set up an account another time? i haven't gotten an email from square enix for an hour... ;w;
Just wait yes.
wheres the questgiver for the mist ward in limsa?
it's a saturday, they generally don't respond on the weekends
ah... sadge
It’s in la noscea.
Lower La Noscea, the northern settlement

ok ty
when/how do you get apartments?
You go to a housing ward and look on the map for the apartment building, then you just walk in and buy it.
Pick whichever ward you like most, I’m partial to the goblet as I feel that’s where I’d most want to live. But that’s just me. XD
okay, and can you put furniture in the apartment once you own it?
you talikng solo or 4 mans ?
Yep.
okay cool! thank you so much!
k
is there a macro to autoface target and cast Aetherial Manipulation, or is it possible to do so
I recommend turning on the option that automatically makes you face your target for any action
there's rarely a reason to have it off
should be in the control section of settings
I'm a healer main and it ruins my vibe, but i guess so
is there a way to make money with gatherers? Like raw materials that sell really fast/everyone needs for 400~1000 Gil each and don't have a respawn timer?
Depends on your server market.
yeah that's something you very much have to self-research for
prices can be volatile
but common ones for pre-50 are Silver Ore and Cobalt Ore
and Effervescent water
Electrum can sell well also.
Sometimes Mythril ore too
But my server prices won’t be the same as your’s or the same as Wynne’s.
i tried farming stuff needed for lv80 crafted gear and HQ items needed to complete gatherer quests and put them for the lowest price, so far no one bought anything
does the amount of enemy mob crafting ingredients vary depending on your level?
No.
Random loot is random.
If you want a consistent number for monster parts you can send out your combat retainers.
coming from wow it's bizzare to see crafting ingredients drop in batches of like 5 or 8
That market is mostly dead at this point.
For the high level crafting stuff you have to get in early.
Get in early when new crafted stuff drops and you’ll make bank. This late in the expansion cycle? Not so much.
is there a way to quick cast a placeable floor aoe rather than having to select the skill then left click the floor?
what about BiS food/stat potion materials?
macros can do it pretty fast, and are pretty acceptable usage
Raid food is pretty reliable tbh
Same deal. Most people that have cleared savage and need it have done so already.
something like
/action "Asylum" <me>
this places it directly on yourself at the center
is there one for 'mouseover'?
neat
for best chance of success, such macros would be 14 lines of that command, and the last line would be /micon "Asylum"
swap out asylum for the action name
what's the reasoning behind 14 lines?
Make sure it fires.
macros don't queue at all and basically work on a per-frame basis
so repeating the macro gives it a slightly better chance to use without it failing
Macros don't understand the concept of a GCD timer, and if it executes a skill that's on a timer or is barred by animation lock, it'll just fail and move on.
do we have weird bosses playstyle like ||Sigmascape The Train boss||
its fun playing againt those things
they're not super common but pop up here and there
Hi, how come I cannot find stormblood on the steam page?
depending on what you're exactly looking for
not sold anymore, it's bundled with shadowbringers now
it's included into shadowbringers
Ah okay
soo... how can i get a metric ass ton of poetic tomestones?
hi guys, just preordered endwalker through steam and got 2 codes, first i entered the pre order bonus and everything worked like a charm but then i tried entering endwalker standard edition product key on mogstation and its says key is invalid, anyone had an issue like that as well?
!faq poetics
can u give me a trial and raid
you can't enter the product key until official launch
Final question! does the "on sale" ffxiv complete edition on the official website, count as a steam version or is it only redeemable in their own launcher
non-steam
Right, thats all. Thanks alot 😄
what type of bosses exactly? fights that are very unique as a whole in appearance or unusual/unique mechanics?
one more question about apartments, do you have to keep paying to own them or do you have one forever once you pay up front?
one-time payment
and unlike normal housing there's no inactivity demolition timer
appeaernce
once you buy it you keep it forever
if i understand correctly, after this seasonal event, the polar bear will become a real life money shop exclusive mount?
after a year, yes.
Does preordering/purchasing some version of Endwalker come with gametime?
seasonal stuff goes into the mogstation when next year's event is almost ready to start
no
non of them?
none
Okey ty
i noticed a bunch of swimsuits on the store, were those rewards for previous year versions of this event?
yes
For trials, I'd personally say that Shadowbringers trials as a whole with the Gem Weapons went pretty out there, especially with Ruby Weapon's 2nd form
Thanks !
for 24-man raids, Weeping City of Mhach has Ozma, which is an extremely deadly geometry of destruction
(from HW 24-man series)
What exactly are beasttribes? Do I have to do a quest to unlock it ?
they're daily quests, essentially
and there's multiple to unlock for each expansion
ideas on where to spend my gil on trial account? hit cap, level 53
Got it, thanks

awesome tyvm
Is there a way to see if ive attuned to all the shards in an area if i missed the notification for it
I’m maxed out on tomes of allegory and i have nothing to spend it on what should i use it on?
buy tomestones materials in the (Other) section. The stuff that sells for 20 are the most current and probably sell the best
as for which one, you would need to check for yourself since it changes very often
see if the shards let you teleport to the airship landing of that city or to outside the city gates
i started playing like 2 weeks ago, is this kind of thing normal to do?
they would be the last few options on the menu
yep. Though personally I didn't level up fisher until much later since it mostly caught vendor trash fish
i'd probably stick to one or two crafters but they're all so interconnected, routinely asking for stuff made by other professions
yeah that's a constant thing
Question, if I buy the complete edition game code in G2A will it activate in my account?
if you didn't register the starter edition already, it'll work
@cursive ridge you're doing it just right. Seems like you're enjoying crafting and gathering!
also, grand company provision and supply quests are so far my favorite feature of this game
but if you did, then you can't use the starter edition at all
I cant buy the game through the sqex store because Im not from NA
this is assuming you didn't start the trial from steam
Havent bought anything yet. I just reached the end of HW through free trial
log onto the square enix account management site and double-check what your region is, as a precaution
So I wanted to upgrade
I just did. Its NA
👌
Thanks!
if you were still playing just ARR, which aetheryte locations would you favorite?
IMO Limsa, Mor Dhona, and move the third one around according to story
i'm using limsa as return point, gridania as free one because of grand company, ul'dah and mor dhona as the remaining two
how to make steady gil as Culinarian class? any tips thanks
not really possible until 80
Culinarian very much thrives on new foods added in patch updates for endgame
You can try making foods used in levequests or class quests
and there's a famous leve at 78 which is a good money maker
lets you turn 100 leve allowances into around 1.6-1.8m gil
thx, how do i go about finding out which foods to sell on MB?
as quest rewards?
highest item level stuff, generally the crit/det or crit/dh or det/dh foods
crit/det being the most preferred assuming equal item level
ok thanks, isnt there tons of ppl selling coffee biscuits? how can i make any money give the MB is saturated with coffee biscuits
pure gil reward from completing the leve, yes
neato
you aren't selling the coffee biscuits
you're using them on a levequest

The materials for the coffee biscuits are easy to get as a botanist, and making a macro to 100% HQ them is easy
thank you, do i need top gear to make HQ coffee biscuits?
so i am using etro to import my gearset for first time....is there a way to calculate theoritical dps using it?
or am i just not seeing it inside etro itself
for eureka, is getting 30 actions necessary to get to unlock hydatos? or is it just e.level 50?
if you want fast crafts of them, somewhat
also do u think i can keep making theese forever or if endwalker comes there will be an upgraded coffee biscuit?
full handsaint or mostly handsaint gear will be more than enough
unknown
we'll have to wait and see
ok how do i acquire handsait gear/?
white scrips from level 80 collectables
can i buy top gatherer and CULinarian gear off MB?
so i dont have to do white scrips
you can
great will 1 mil gil allow me to buy good gear thx
Ehhh
maybe not a full set of aesthete
No
but enough to make the biscuits easily
You would only be able to buy a few pieces
ok i just want to make biscuits easily so i can earn, and buy better gear
ths is my road to income stream
Yeah you'd need a few mil to get a full set
great i just need to get initial investment
like an angel investor xD
i cannot access the channel Yilmaz
And I just told you how 😛
but yeah, buy enough Aesthete stuff to hit those stats and you'll be good
depending on what your initial gear was
ok thx Aesthete is p2w? do i have to RNG it or do gacha pulls at end game? how much money should i save to buy it on the cash shop?
ok thx good to know
There is no p2w in this game
what i wouldnt do for like 5 more retainers tho
Are there any Command Missions that the AI has a hard time with?
Wanderer's Palace can be a bit derpy for them
so you might need to spam the engage button on the boss
i haven't done any of the other dungeons that are at and past 50 with them so I can't comment on those
Buy gear on the cash shop 
What do retainers do? I've played around with them for a bit, but I kind of just stopped caring about them.
they're how you sell items on the marketboard
and are your main item storage/bank
besides the 15 a month sub, what is the recommended amount to spend monthly on cash shop to be at above average power - what i mean it are there any recommended optimal items on cash shop to spend and if so what are those thx
nothing in the Mogstation helps you directly in-game
besides job boosts and story skips
There aren't any recommended items. Again, no p2w.
but those are only time skips
ok so there are on whales in this game right?
nothing that impacts game balance
There are but like... mogstation is all cosmetics/mounts. That's it.
ahok great
thx
as long as there is no open world pvp areas where whales get exclusive loot i am ok
Most of the time you can find better looking stuff in game.
they bring me stuff from ventures
i have a whole shopping list of crap that i rather they get for me than myself
There is no open world pvp. Pvp is a tertiary activity.
Rest assured there is no WoW Token here
Which venture type has the most exp per hour for retainers?
Quick Exploration?
anyways, i do lament those who dont lvl their retainers
they greatly increase craft efficiency
There is exclusive loot for the ranked pvp players but it’s purely instanced content. This game has absolutely no non-consensual pvp.
quick exploration and hunting ventures give the same amount assuming you do the highest available hunting ventures
Hey I don't know if this is the right place to ask for, but I'm planning an event for our FC. But since our FC has members from across the EU and English is not my native language I did like to ask any native English speaker to help me out a bit with something 😳
ok this is great, i no longer have to fear whale guilds dominating loot rich areas of world map or pay protection fees
so it's basically a choice between random loot from a giant loot pool or specific monster drops
best to ask in #retired-eu-datacentres
Alright will do that sir
Nope nothing like that.
There aren’t really “loot rich areas” either.
Final fantasy is very much a PVE focused game which is honestly true to its roots. However, they did eventually add pvp content to it because any successful mmo needs some kind of pvp.
Does MP ever go up?
The only problem is that feast reward system kinda sucks
Ive been at 10,000 for awhile
No
The only sort of purchased player power that I can think of is that there is an optional item in the cash shop to instantly boost a job to level 70. But it doesn’t suddenly mean you’ll hit level 80 and be best in slot raid geared overnight. It’s just to save time grinding but pvp has standardized stats where your gear and level don’t matter.
@leaden ginkgo
It is always 10 k
They standardized it to make it easier.
thx

Hello people! Do you know of any decent crafting guides?
How many Bozjan coins do we get from fates and skirmishes once we finish our first Castrum Lacus?
I don’t know of any guides or if there’s an faq but I do know how to level them. XD
that's my problem
i leveled with restoration of ishgard and used macros from one guide
now i don't know how to craft without macros
Hello im at eureka now and i see the options for +1 and +2 upgrade i cant seem to find the Anemos upgrade for the weapon ?
it should be "augment anemos weapon" or something like that
oh i see
it won't look like a conventional trade-in window
oh yea i didnt fully check all the option sorry my bad
its called augment +2 eureka weapons
thanks
would i be able to buy ffxiv full game for a free trial user? or do i have to know logins and stuff
You could always read your abilities and experiment with the crafting simulator since you don’t need materials to do that.
yes, you just give them the product key codes
:o
or gift them the game on steam if they play the trial on steam
okie, thank you :3
Yesterday I asked about gathering/crafting and people said Trial accounts shouldn't do it...but would it be stupid to get atleast 1 'trade of the hand' to lvl 60 for materia reasons? 
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
Materia doesn’t matter until 80 anyway. It’s kind of a waste before then.
I haven't started grinding for Bozja, is it possible to start now before EW?
Definitely
yeah you got plenty of time
what about 2 weapons?
can probably get a weapon done in a week or two depending on how dedicated you are
the first weapon takes the longest due to two steps that are only done once
do grand company decide where i can get a house?
no
After the first the subsequent weapons are a lot easier with less steps.
Oh, so I just need to get to 19 to extract and then find npc's to put it onto my gear, gotchu
I’m working on relic 10 right now.
I mean, if I only plan to play to 60 and derp around for free, should I not bother at all, cuz it would be to little of a stat gain? 👀
Right.
also grade 6 combat materia is fairly annoying to get
damn
Any ! for that?
quests for the poetics materia? no
!faq poetic
poetics are a currency used for level 50/60/70 gear
yeah never waste gil of new gear
Btw I unlocked aurum vale, are there any higher lvl dungeons that I can unlock or do I have to go through MSQ?
after you beat the level 50 story quest "The Ultimate Weapon" You get a ton of quests for level 50 dungeons in mor dhona
should I just stop queuing for dungeons then and just complete MSQ, currently at 'The curious case of giggity' lvl 47 quest
yeah you should have a good enough headstart on experience to do the story
hey guys, short question - can I do the same step of relic quest (actual ones) for 2 different jobs at the same time?
Sort of.
Shadowbringers relics let you stockpile the turn-in materials if you stay on a step for that weapon
^
Anima Weapon mostly works through poetics items so you can stockpile them for the most part
Zodiac Weapon can be done simultaneous for the most part, i think
so I have no real advantages starting 2 at once?
nah
Desperate at the moment to create one more space in my hotbar setup - is Aurora worth keeping as a GNB?
I mean yeah it’s a 1200 potency HoT.
Alright, since the tooltip shows me still 200 on 80 and I've no idea how that translates.
Alright, I'll keep it in - thanks
It’s 18 seconds, 200 potency a tick.
6 ticks.
there is one notable exception, namely MCHs flamethrower
which ticks every second instead of every 3s
Ah, good to know thanks
however it needn't be considered as an exception because unlike the older game versions there's nothing smart one can do with flamethrower
Okay i am about to make DR s. I unlocked it a time a go. but the question is. do i need a 700k mettles still on me to go in it or not?
I've seen people claim the flamethrower is useless because on the assumption that the potency ticks every 3s the dmg sucks
no
You need 700k to unlock/enter initially
Afterwards you can be 0 mettle and still go in
so i have unlocked it. so i dont need mettles anymore?
I think so yes
I think only the unlock quest needs 700k mettle
Which you've done
is there a way to save and load keybinds without restarting the game?
Anything worth while doing in this place, or is it strictly for fun?
Can you equip 2 Landsaint's rings or are they considered unique? level 80 white scrip ilvl 500 rings
can
How do you get there
it's purely optional, but it has some neat cosmetic rewards

What Is the best way to level up rogue? I am doing levequest now
Is there a preview somewhere?
the gear you can preview right at the vendors, mounts and other stuff you just have to google
do your hunting log until lvl 15, maybe supplement with leves if needed
after that dungeons/potd
!faq altlvlguide for a more detailed look
is desynthing always more useful than vendoring an item? i know that for more rare items you can turn them in for GC seals instead, but what about vendoring for gil?
Isnt potd Slow? Taking 10-15 minutes to complete for like 50% exp ? :)
it's faster than dungeons if your dungeon queue is 15+ minutes
less time spent waiting, more time spent actually getting xp
And what about queue for dungeon And meanwhile doing leveq? 😁
Just thinking, i was doing potd on my dragoon And it was pretty slow
also combat leves don't exist past lvl 60
The best way to level a dps before 50 is probably squadroon
oh and for maximum xp gain in potd you run floors 51-60 over and over again
Ah I see, I just want So level Fast to 30 to have ninja
much more efficient than the early floors
Ahh, I see, thats why, i did ONLY 31-40 max
squadrons may or may not be better than potd
honestly I would still recommend potd
well you may find them more enjoyable but they are just not more efficient
I dont think exp boosts work on potd
personally I almost never leveled via potd even on dps jobs, just because I find dungeons more fun and was in no rush
but strictly speaking potd would have been faster
They don’t.
Like, at lvl 40-49, you need 2 pots runs
the earrings should apply
Which are like 12-15 minutes each
Comparing it to a squadroon run, which is 15 minutes, squadroon is better
And on lvl 15? I want Rush rogue from 15 to 30, to try ninja
Is it your first class?
No third
Do you have the ring from the hall of the novice?
And I have ring
Satasha and that ring should give an absurd amount of exp.
Also eat food
so, recently hit 80, bought a bunch of 510 hq crafted gear, whats the next step regarding gearing ? also i got coins from the nier raids but i have no idea how to use them
Tomestones of revelation and/or savage.
I am using some milk for 3 gils, to have exp buff 😁
!faq gearguide
Make sure you have the other dungeons like halitali and such unlocked.
I personally prefer leveling through regular dungeons. The exp gain is solid, the only thing that will slow you down is the queue times.
those coins are used to augment tomestone gear btw
you need one coin from each nier raid to augment one piece of cryptlurker gear from 520 to 530
What Is Halitali? I should have all dungeons from realm reborn
(but there are other ways of augmenting them too)
That’s the 20 dungeon from a side quest.
Am I supposed to win this ?
It’s easily missed if you’re rushing through.
Ah thanks, I Will Google that
Normal those solo instances give you instructions on how to clear them.
Just watch what the npc’s say to do.
not really tbh
Don’t aoe things or try to get aggro if you’re a tank.
what's your gear like?
250, white mage
that should be fine
Just focus enemies down one at a time and you should be fine.
I did.
just single target stuff down and heal when needed
healer dmg is buffed in these instances
Yikes
there really isn't an issue
is there a FPS counter in the game
It’s in system config
is there an easier way to do price checks on marktets besides typing the items whole name on the market board
hey i want to know if i can play with a friend but with the free version of ff14

not without plugins
Enable partial search.
are plugins legal?
no
You can.
this is so exhausting i price check 30 items from my treasure hunts xd...
You can check the price when you have your retainer list it.
Rather than checking the market board beforehand.
am I dum? I cannot find any FPS counter in the system config
There isn't any
I feel betrayed
whats a good FPS ?
That’s how I check my fps.
a minimum of 60
System config does show your fps.
ok i sede 115
That’s great.
That screenshot isn’t mine, just used it to show you where to find it.
I’m at 60 fps at max settings. Best I can do with my current rig.
ya when i click off window it drops to 16
The game limits fps when you alt tab.
more ram = more fps ?
hey guys is anyone from sea trying to create an free trial acc eu but keeps saying !2501 error
i cant seem to make an acc
or better card ?
I mean it’s hardware dependent, ram, gpu, etc.
My ram is fine I just need a better gpu.
k
for close ups on textures, some look like landscapes (mountains and valleys) is that normal ?
like bricks, or stones
those textures seem weird to me
what would be the most time-efficient way to farm for ventures?
like this.
gc seals for me
gc seals by doing fates?
just hand in expert delivery from running roulettes daily
you get random gears from dungeon, while leveling your alt
you hand in those to get seals
trade seals to venture
you get high level alt and get venture
oh okay and i think i have to level up to a certain level in the company to do that, right?
sargeant something
just looks funny to me
where can i buy a fishing rod i lost my first one
I think so yeah, by finishing GC Hunting Log rank 2
A lot of the texture work is shall we say… not the best.
and finishing Aurum Vale and Dzamel darkhold
/agree
ooh okk i'll do that
Sergeant Second Class https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Grand_Company
Can someone tell me why i can only download the game at a max speed of 2.25mb/s?
mine was super slow too
thank you @patent citrus!
took like 30 hours
mine says it'll take 600 minutes
it's random i think. i have friends in the same city as me downloading with 3MB/s while i downloaded it at 50
thats 10 hours 😦
i think there is BT option to DL, not sure if its faster
Yeah I don't experience slow download, My internet is shitty too
That’s p2p for you.
and is it true that you have to pay 10$ every month to keep playing FFXIV?
15
a bit more yeah
10.99 Euro
Isnt that way to much for just 1 game?
depends on the people
I don’t think so.
for mmorp no
i wouldn't say so
imagine how well witcher 3 is seen because it gives you like 60 hours of gameplay for its price. If you have the time, you will spend much more time in the first month in ff and it has more content to play through
even if you like a game you shouldnt have to pay over 100$ a year to play it
13-15
13 for 1 char slot each data center
15 for more slot
per month
it is expensive for 3rd world country (like me) but the content is there and it is definitely meaty
think of it as expensive game
it's an enormous amount of content
A tool merchant or weapon merchant in the starting cities should sell a lv 1 one
it is 100 per year
is there a way to check how many aether currents ive completed in an area?
it's a lot of content for free trial as well
Travel > aether currents
thanks
Youve never played sub based mmos have you?
yeah, you can stay free trial then
but for how long?
