You will need to make time
Wait until 3.3 msq to start crafting imo
Ahh, didn't know that, will do so next time
3.3?
Patch main story since it unlocks a really good crafting leveling system
You do like 5 levels at a time so you don’t have to constantly replace gear
Yep, beat that, then you get a power leveling area
Honestly it's not necessary
So I'm at lvl 14 msq
I'd get started when you want but it's definitely something to keep in mind
Msq unlocks everything so it’s why we say do it first
Like, leves are just as good, just more annoying to get materials for and beast tribes are really good anyway
Crafting is still a side activity
can you surecast through leviathan slam?
So should I just doing them all 5 lvls at a time?
Honestly yes
Instead of focusing on one?
Saves room
That is what we said
I'd do gatherers too and keep them at a higher level just so you can gather what you need too
Except fisher
Fuck fisher
So i have an extra ballroom etiquette that is a double. Got it from the Mog Station. Is there anything i can do w/ it ?
It barely gives any materials
is the bahamut raid part of the main story, or can I just queue up for it without having to do a quest later?
yes
not required for story
Optional but also you don't want to queue for it
Should I wear different gear while gathering?
Gatherers have their own gear correct
The Bahamut raid is an extremely hard thing that people use party finder for, you'll literally never get a queue for it @forest flicker
I heard it is hard but I just started a week ago and kinda wanna see the old content, is it that hard?
oof
what essence is the cheaptest to buy for drn speedruns
will they let us return it or exchange it for another on the Mog Station ?
People tend to just unsync it and blitz through the fights at a really high level and trivialise it. If you want to do it properly synced then you're going to take a while actually finding people for it
Ok ty
I have 2 parts of the raid in khloes weekly thing and thought I finish it
Just finished ARR. Is there anything i should do before continueing with the HW MSQ?
Also is there a way to click on the target info (progress bar) without moving the others?
Patches and all or...?
There is a menu you can select specific UI elements from
oh you can unsync levels later? I didnt know that nice
I dont think i understand
I see, thanks!
Not even later, you can do it on any content you've unlocked, don't even need to have done it before
oh
Well, if you finished the base game story you'd still have the patch quests to do before actually arriving in HW
I am level 63 now so already a bit over the level 50 I guess thats cool
Hey on the activation page for the complete edition it mentions this. Does this mean that as long as you dont activate the game you are eligible for a refund?
That's not going to be enough to solo it but you only really need one level 80 or 70 person tbh
I probably can get up to 70 soon anyway I played a lot maybe even a bit too much because I love the story, ty again
Ah yes. I did them. My question was If there's anything unlocked/unlockable now that's recommended to do or should i Just follows the MSQ for now
Ballpark, how many vitiated aether crystals do I need to finish pagos?
Well I assume you did the 24-man raid...could do the 8-man raid for the good plot if you want
Otherwise idk, could get more ironworks gear if you want. The rest is just going to be optional dungeons and stuff but frankly I can't of one that stands out as a you HAVE to do this
OK thanks
Like, I would recommend unsyncing the 8-man raid myself
For clairification, E9S-E12S weekly lockout has been removed so I can farm as much Edenmorn gear as I want?
Right.
Kupo confused me
my and a friend are running titan for a mount on undersized party, and its not dropping. We speculate bc he has the mount that it isnt dropping, is that the case or really shit luck for 40+ runs?
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
Random loot is random.
You can get full outfits mind you but the vast majority of things are individual pieces you can glam
Awesome
is there a place to find a group to run HoH. fixed party to go further
Hello! I just started in FFXIV as a WoW refugee. And coming into this new world has left me a bith overwhelmed, any tips to help my noobyness?😁
check #beginner-lounge pins it has some resources
Okidoke ty
make sure it's "The Navel (Extreme)" Other difficulties don't give the mount
as long as you don't make the code visible
Your main story quest is priority. You cannot skip it under any circumstances.
we made sure
is there a cmd to add to a emote macro so it doesnt display in chat ?
You mean do the emote without it appearing in chat?
right
ok thanks
are the hotbars still active even if I hide them? ie: if I press a button bound to a hidden hotbar, would it still work?
YES ! Thanks KK
Do we have a channel where I can seek out Free Companies? I haven’t found any for my server in #603040697884475393...
Anyone know how many crystals of various kinds are needed to get through pagos
how much does a sub renewal cost?
15 usd
Not sure about other regions.
news that might be interesting regarding this, after the 40+ titan attempts, we did it once on leviathan which he didnt have the mount for and got it first try... might be random but didnt feel it (small party expert)
Whether someone has the mount or not literally doesn’t matter.
!faq subpriceeu
I think I mathed out the costs for multiple months right
yeah I randomly get the ARR primal mounts all the time when i do my wondrous tails
sometimes see nightmare drop every now and then
is there anyway to unlock all jobs and put the gear away, just so you can go back to it whenever and not clutter up your armoury chest?
You can store gear on your retainers.
Or choco bag
Chocobag also. Though it doesn’t have as much space.
alright nice one 🙂
Just saw i still got a lot of coins from this yokai watch event. Is there any reason i should hold on to them?
if you lack anything from the last event, and still want something, potentially wait a few (years) for it to return
Well i guess i got all the yokais but Not all the weapons because i didnt have all regions unlocked? Idk
But the normal coins are worthless now If i got the Minions iirc
how do i do this
like i cant figure out how i make a search comment on my profile
hey guys, when setting a macro for a skill, it won't show the details when hovering over it on my hotbar?
On pc I just hit f1 right click edit search info.
It’s not the skill, so why would it
Yeah macros don’t show tooltips.
Only the skill itself.
It does show the ability cooling down though.
hello, how can I change my relic stats?
which expansion relic?
ilv535
Buy 4 Aetherial Sealant from the Mor Dhona/Idyllshire poetics people and go back to the node in Gangos
are they expensive?
some trivial amount of poetics
You sure it’s not a t?
t stands for target.
Focus target
are we suppoed to put a number? or just leave it as F?
400 total poetics or so
Oh yeah that’s focus target I believe.
<f> hits your focus target
thanks a lot
Usually for those abilities you'd use <2>
Because typically they're for the other tank, which is always 2 with standard frame
yep I thought so too
must I repeat the /ac command?
It's useful to make them slightly more reliable
and is it true that the macro must be used by itself or it won't work?
What do you mean?
Ah
Basically, macros don't queue
So if you're in animation lock they won't go off
Doing anything will cancel a macro as well
So that warning isn't entirely accurate.. but it's not entirely wrong either reliability wise
Double weaving a macro is dangerous
ahh got it, thank you so much guys!
Especially since something like shirk is often "use this or at least one person dies"
There's something else you can add to macros to make them more reliable
Ah
That would be it.
Why either of those things help I can only assume is code gremlins
Idk anymore I use moactions to avoid having to interact with combat macros
lol okay no worries, thank you!
I just find it hard to use skills that target our own party
like clemency for example
are treasure maps fun and not difficult?
Oh, I totally agree with you. Moactions is a (technically against tos) add-on that allows you to add macro style targeting conditions without actually using macros
They're very easy, a little boring
you can 2-3 people the lv 80 one
Some can be a bit annoying in mechanics, but nothing harder than the average dungeon
Warriors can damn near solo the 80 ones.
Why monk is so less played ? He seems cool to play no ?
They can be.
They aren't very difficult. The dungeon style ones aren't that exciting, but the roulettes are fun in my opinion! Basically a couple hardmode trials strung together.
Mnk requires the most work (in my opinion) of all the melee because of all the positional attacks.
It was pretty bad until relatively recently afaik, and it's a lot of work
Monks spent the majority of shb unhappy with their class design
At least, a lot of vocal ones did
Why they are mad about their jobs ?
Which was certainly addressed, but not in a way that a lot of people found satisfactory
My old static's monk main liked the final version
Monk also suffers from playing basically the same since the very beginning
most changes to the job was adding more oGCDs between skills
But for a new player, idk about the beggining ahah
I like it’s very straightforward design and rotation that doesn’t deviate. I hate the positional attacks though.
Whats the difference between Lightning shard, crystal, and cluster?
I’m hoping positionals get toned or (ideally) scrapped in EW.
different tiers for crafting recipes
You do the same attack in the same order every time ?
oh ok
Yeah it probably doesn't help that a lot of abilities Monk has had added since hw are either ogcds to tack on or absurdly situational bullshit
Shards are for low level recipes. Crystals are for most of the modern recipes. Clusters are for high tier crafts of expansions
Miss me with an ability that exists for no other reason than "the last thing you do before downtime", tbh
Yes.
Ok so it's a boring class i see :/ you just need a position sad ..
I prefer to say monk is a sustained damage job.
Több most classes that aren't "spam Ruin" style, have a fixed 1-2, 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4-5 rotation that doesn't change
It’s not built around a burst window.
The difficulty comes from doing so and adjusting in the middle of chaos
Other rotations have cooldowns or backloaded burst that change up your attacks a little.
Monk I’m just doing boot/dragon, twin snakes or full strike, demolish or the other side attack over and over.
Okok i see
It’s not like Sam where I can meikyo or shoha.
Or burst like a dragoon or ninja.
So i'll stay with my ninja to start my first melee jobs
sooo you just don't want any class with proc right?
is there a quick way to reply a tell?
like random skill pop up that deviate from static rotation everytime
/r
I like that yes but there is no melee jobs that have that ?
thank you
hmm
about proc skill, how not to waste Straight shot ready?
I don’t think there’s any melee with procs outside of Mnk gaining ticks for chakra.
no melees have procs, except monk which randomly gains chakra ticks for TFC
Hello, I wanna join playing on the same server as my friends are playing that is chaos/spriggan. However, as im trying to join it it says its unavailable and that its currently not accepting new members. My question is, if I create a character on another server, will I be allowed to move that character to the spriggan server when there will be available spots?
no melee class has that
Not for free. You’re better off waiting for off peak hours.
you press it. your opener has to vary about when you press Barrage to ensure you won't overcap
If I buy the game, will I then be allowed to do so?
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
You’ll have to wait for off peak hours.
Character transfer is a paid service
Hey guys, never worked towards relic weapons, how hard would it be to get this? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Samsara I heard some of them can be a bit of a grind
if you want to make a new char on it try like rly early in the morning when less ppl are online
that's like, the first step of the relic weapon. easy as hell, it's practically free
all of them are a grind, thats the point
The 80 relic is a grind but also current content.
That's the first step of Shadowbringers relics...it's literally free for the first weapon
1k poetics for extras
Just a story instance for first SHB relic step
Alright, I appreciate the answers
Though you do need to do the stormblood alliance raid story if you haven’t
Just do the lv70 24mans and do Hail to the Queen to open the relic chain
Then pick it up
What's the difference between Summon Selene and Eos?
Gotcha thank you
They used to be functionally different but now it’s just cosmetic.
when was the regalia event coming out again?
Both faeries have Embrace
Embrace is their passive heal they do on people
It's like a regen with a mind of it'd own every tick
Thanks
!faq 2021schedule
tyty
wait will i have to be in a certain expansion to be able to access the quest or do we not know that yet
Level 50 with ARR leveling story complete
I heavily recommend being in full ironworks gear, since it has a pretty challenging solo instance
ello friends, does anyone knwo of a nice comprehensive list of ffxiv discord servers that include "niche" servers like class ones and the centurio hunts one? not just the few ones on #resources
Is it a sign that I am doing well if I get player commendations almost every dungeon as a DPS (melee and ranged?). I have done 2x Sastasha, 1x Deepcroft and 1x the mines
Might be
The FFXV stuff? Solo only
Commends don't really mean much
Either that or the Tank/Healer fucked Up hard enough that the other decided to commend someone else
Ty
So, Red Mage. Hot damn why wasn't I told it's so awesome
I agree. I think red mage and samurai were designed quite well.
i find that as a DPS whenever i tell people that it's my first time in a dungeon and don't die to any mechanics people commend me
They have a fairly clear and intuitive rotation and everything they get builds on it rather than changes it. I think they’re great.
Yep. I'm a fan of Red Mage a lot. I really like how their rotation doesn't change drastically halfway through as well
probaly a side affect of starting higher though
I comm dps when their damage is really good.
Getting a dungeon clear in 12 minutes vs 20 is fairly noticeable.
I wish you could comm after they leave. I like to watch cut scenes, come out and half hte crew is gone
Even at lower levels the game teaches you to balance the white and black mana.
am super happy with monk rn but I wanna level a second much lazier to play class, maybe a tank, how is darkknight?
Mines went by really quick indeed.
dark knight itself is meh, but the class story is chef's kiss
Paladin is pretty lazy in the early levels.
Total eclipse trash pulls, melee combo bosses.
Repeat until mid 50’s
gonna take a look on pala then ty
You eventually get a second attack to go with eclipse but it’s still the same deal.
A lot of people comm noobs because they appreciate the tome bonus too
how fast it would take for a racing chocobo to from rank 1 to 40?
@forest flicker paladin is pretty lazy, aye. if youre looking at dark knight, high level/end game gameplay can get pretty clicky and, well, not lazy. its fun to play honestly c:
nah maybe it'S because I am a beginner but monk already feels kinda stressful on level 63 so I really wanna have some alternative to chill
Warrior is considered lazy as well but I just don’t like overpower for aoe threat. It’s easier to hit with the circle rather than the cone.
maybe try a ranged dps or a caster?
a lack of positionals and freedom of movement for the most part could be nice
black mage has some of the lowest APM but really good personal DPS if youd like
was never a friend of mages
has megumin profile pic
subjective. its cool, has really good utility, low personal dps, but super buffs a party member of choice
@nocturne wyvern I mean she only has one button, laziest mage ever
like i kid you not, dancer buffs are really nice
but that's basically it. I found them not very fun outside of instances
hey guys, what is most profitable items to gether as miner and botanist?
but you can't beat the glamour for a dancer
Depends on your server economy. There’s no one best item.
i see 😦
Only if you want the adventurer in need bonus.
Then no.
Not after the first time.
You never do roulettes after the daily run
okay thank you all for your inputs one last question then I take my leave, kloes album is it worth to do everything? I saw some cool rewards for her gold certificate but didnt see that as the reward, only silver and bronze
I like using the leveling one for seals.
The seals is the only good aspect until you can turn in gear
Eh gear not guaranteed though from the 80 dungeons.
Tbh I would rather do fates then kill myself in satasha over and over
2 dungeon pieces is still less seals than the leveling adventurer in need
1400
80 gear is like 1.5 or so per piece or something
Each.
Depending on ilvl
pag gear is 1780
^
I wish I got that many drops in a run.
I get maybe 1.
Usually 0.
But random loot is random.
whos taking ur gear lmao, i ususally have too many on my runs
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
This
I can tell you from experience with complete honesty that 95% of the time I don’t roll above above 30.

But I digress.
when do you think dia EX will get echo?
6.0
Probably soon.
I’m surprised it hasn’t already tbh.
No more patches until endwalker
I thought it would get echo when Eden promise did.
So it gets it 6.0
Anyone know what the golden stars mean here?
Basically nothing
i think its difficulty? at some point
since they reuse the image
ah. The leveling one only had 1 star.
its not terribly important, i just got curious
the fact that you can get aurum vale in leveling should make it a 5 star
but i digress
Is there a way to turn in LEVES of the type "kill as many enemies as possible" early if I already filled quota listed?
I'm not sure, but thats bc most people dont really do combat leves
i know theres an option for crafting
gathering uhhhh maybe?
For relic
5 mins timer for stuff I can finish quota in 20 seconds
can you go back and talk to the npc?
the coins that drop for the Nier raid are capped per week or are they unlimited ?
is their a website where i can see all weapon skins?
were once capped, now unlimited
i cant find where i get the last 3 things ;/ {night milk for the cheese, steppe milk and russet popoto's}
halp ;-;
is Limsa Lominsa supposed to be... welsh?
i think eorzea collection has a bunch of weapons
you can purchase night milk from beast tribe quests in western la noscea
popotos are gathered in eastern thanalan
more like english but generalized
and also you can just search the item name on the wiki and it'll tell you
like "arrr" types of pirates
'Merlwyb' sounds super welsh
"lots of places have a north"
Is there a daily/weekly limit to the number of Wondrous Tails books you can complete?
The npc gives a one liner with no other interaction when on a levequest
Wwwwweird
So I just completed one and received another, is this my cutoff?
Like I can't do a third one until the 24th or 31st or whatever?
welp i guess we figured it out then
correct
you got this weeks
and turned in last weeks

you probably completed last weeks and got this weeks
ahhh
weekly reset was yesterday
OH cool gotcha
and this is why i dont do ARR relics 😦
So weekly reset is on Tuesdays?
For lv 50 poetic grinding which one is better?
Castrum or wandered hard?
neither, keep doing MSQ until you get to the lvl 60 3.0 dungeon
When they logout? You'll never know really, but you can pray 🤔
as mentor it can be hard to get in late since mentor only have 100 spots
Why is it that I can't see a lvl 25 BSM levequest despite being lvl 28?
Hey guys, I've got a question.
I've been running Tam-Tara Deepcroft, which I can solo in about 3 and a half minutes, to upgrade the ARR relic from Novus to Nexus.
I figure it'll take me some 3 hours.... Is there a faster way?
Thanks!
could also check the other duties if they have a bonus window open/active which doubles the light

How would I know where to check if they have the bonus?
Levequests are location specific
hi guys, im still pretty new to the game in regards on how things work, ive come across the relic weapon quest and its asking for me to deliver a pair of materia enhanced vampers knives to gerolt...can anyone help me out please, ty
dont do that quest
unless you have 40 spare hours
oh really, is it that longgg, just want a cool looking weapon haha
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Nexus_Zodiac_Weapons/Quest has a list of duties and how much light they give and to see if its on bonus you need to run the duties and see what it gives
relics are super flashy weapons that take a long tiem to grind
Relics are a massive grind
esp the ARR ones
They're designed as a time sink
fuck those
Best do it at 80 when you can solo instances required and have good money
is there no easier way to get a sick looking weapon though..??
Gotcha, thanks
Guys
im level 74 with 1.5m
would there only be 1 B-rank hunt mob in an instance?
That's plebty
What do you mean
Iam unable to redeem collectors edition for endwalker
In the zone Yes but they respawn in 5s
ahh oke that explains the many spawn location I saw
yes, if killed respawns on another spot in like a few sec
where can i find the market ive literally never used it haha
Why i cant?
Marked on the map
In mog Station
Because you redeem that when endwalker launches
You shouldn't even HAVE that code yey
But steam is dumb and gives you both now
they dont show up in my gather log in game
then you're not high enough level
No
I have early access
But
You can only redeem the preorder code
I dont have tge collecter edition
Does anyone know what the % calculation is for retrieving materia? I want to meld materia into my crafting gear and take it back out once I want to upgrade, but I don't want to risk losing the materia
i need the russet popoto not the normal one @cursive ridge
Oh you mean u cant for now
Cause it doesn't ezist
Until release
oh
You shouldn't even have the collectors code now
But steam is dumb and gives you both now
Certain NPCs will have different level Leves to give out
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Battlecraft_Leves
Good goid
You use the collectors code near the end of early access
Thanks for help 
is there anyway to increase mount speed in bozja area?
or use the sds fenrir mount
clouds bike its from mogstation/fanfest
You can join a Cluster farm group. Just ask if there's one on the chat
thanks though
Hey there lads, got a pretty serious question. I really enjoy playing ffxiv, but I hate that the story dialogues take up 90% of my time, and in an hour, I get to fight and actually do something in like 5-10 mins out of 60. Are the story dialogues THAT important or can I just skip through everything and get to end-game as fast as I can?
!faq aether currents
If you care for the story then yes
And the story is 80% of the game
Should I get lvl 50 gear with tomestones? and if yes which?
It's the main selling point
A lot of people recommended to play through the story as it's amazing, but I don't want to spend like 400-500 hours just to get a char to max level with those dialogues
Yes and ironworks, it'd the best gear at 50
Ironworks got me through most of HW
I do care for it, but it's too much tbh... I'm a wow player who uses a dialogue skip add-on just so I have more time for combat
All the dialogue is important
Okey thank you guys!
And from non stop combat to sitting and reading 90% of the time, it's obnoxious tbh
This aint a combat heavy game like that
Unlike wow there's actual story and structure told in a proper way
Well, I really enjoy playing the game and I don't wanna quit just because of those dialogues. Is there any way that I can read a shorter version of this story, without having to read like 10-15 dialogues every single quest?
I'm level 60 Weaver and want to craft this: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/0f8de9548e5/ (Millmaster's Apron)
But i can't find it in my crafting recipes, why ?
There's recaps
There's a lot of lore in wow, but it's not told as it's supposed to imo
Alot of lore not in game
True
Agreed, I used to play wow back in WotTK era
But at least you get to do the majority of content after you reach max level, which is better imo, having all abilities and stuff, while in ff, I have to do some boss killings with 2 abilities, where I can't even cast the 2nd without the 1st 😑
Bet there are vids on the net that recap the Story well. If you really don't wanna Play the Story Mission, i recommend finding a good recap and buying a Story Skip. No shame in that
its in the master weaver III book
Well, i think I might do just that, cheers lad
Max level isn't the be all end all
Np
Oooh what's this ?
For me getting to max lvl is my main obj and having fun along the way as well
recipe books you buy with yellow scrips
what stats should i put for whm
If I wanted to read hundreds of thousands of lines, I would grab a book, not play a game
Honestly...
Oki
Thank you smol Rosmontis of wisdom 
Really the only thing I hate about this game, the millions of dialogues
does it matter what melee dps attack for leviathan?
maxing crit and spell speed ?
The tail has the rear positionals
ah
Crit and det
maxing crit and det and rest to spell speed ?
Thanks ~
Welcome to Final Fantasy
Thank you
Does anyone know why every time I try to meld CP materia (as low as tier 2), it says the item level is too low to maximize its potential? I'm melding into Bloodhempen Crafting gear (iLvl 180)
Oooooohh ok
See the bottom of the meld window
I see! Thank you!!
to complete stage 2 of bozjan weapon, is it easier to farm fates in these three locations or in bozja?
Tortured Memory of the Dying x20. Coerthas Western Highlands; Sea of Clouds
Sorrowful Memory of the Dying x20. The Dravanian Forelands; The Churning Mists
Harrowing Memory of the Dying x20. The Dravanian Hinterlands; Azys Lla
No
usually fates
ALL mobs can drop the memories
ic
gnb stats ?
@wispy basalt check the Balance discord for bis stuff
where
A proper and efficient cluster group is good
thanks
How do you slow down dialogue?
Everytime I shift tab steam overlay comes up
whats the window max has open on his stream for plugins?
how much of this do i need to restat the relic weapon?

Every piece of content does
Role and yes
Even in the overworld

You get the main bonus but not the adventurer in need bonus
cool thanks
im guessing the dps never gets the adventurer in need bonus
on a dual monitor setup where FFXIV is set to windowed fullscreen, when you're tabbed into FF14, your mouse will stop at the edge and not move to your other monitor. This forces you to be alt tabbing out of FF14 anyways.
is there any way to fix this? I'd like to just be able to slide my mouse over to discord.
where do i exchange the bozjak clusters?
The resistance quatermaster at the camp
You are the best Vinyl
is it possible to pay for a year? i know sub goes up to 180days but is there a way to extend it past that too
No
Hello guys! Do /mouseover macros exist here? For skill like Aetherial Manipulation, for instance
So I found about the Odin Fate that happens in Gridania and saw the armour you can get from it.. and now I want it.
Any advice on how to approach finding the fate or being notified when it is happening?
join the centurio hunts discord and they usually call them out, you can get roles to get pinged for specific rare fates
Where is the link to that?

Anyone know where i can find groups for extremes?

Is it possible to get asahis set of gear?
no
Hi, I have a question about prices and games, I understand how the buying works (trial+endwalker, complete, etc). What I am curious about is - Will the complete edition get more expensive when Endwalker releases? Right now, it's 39.99 EUR (when not on sale) and Endwalker is 34.99 EUR. Right now with the sale, if I buy complete for 16EUR and Endwalker for 34.99, I will pay 51EUR. If I wait till Endwalker releases, will complete edition still be 39.99EUR and include the whole game?
Interesting, so pretty much even with the sale going on right now, it's a net loss to buy now.
Hello guys, I would like to ask if there is any way to trigger the spawn of Ixion FATE? I've been waiting at the Lochs for days and it still haven't spawn.
@bronze sinew it's a rare fate so it has a long respawn timer, basically do the same as for the odin fate ^
There isn't a way to spawn it, no.
Oh, ok. Thanks for the help.
Thanks
once every 48 hours afaik
better join hunt discord and see notification
when it's up go to the location straight away, since some dickhead may pull earlier than planned
Does anyone know when the current sale ends ?
For Skybuilders' handins, what happens if you hand in an item below the first quality threshold? Or does it not let you?
I saw someone mentioning 18th August, which would be today.
Oh shiet
But I am not even 50% on that, it's just "someone said" @obtuse dagger
CAn you keybind the quick time manuever buttons that appear for instance on Susanoo fight?
is there a list somewhere of all the hairstyles in the game?
so not just the unlockable ones
Is it possible to macro the sprint ? i use /ac "Sprint" but dont work
Does FFXIV have ways to get negative tribe rep?
is there a way to manully reset ACT for when the time between pulls is too short?
Any key works for those. Don't need to click the button
So literally face roll the keyboard
Just don't press enter
Or you're legally required to pace whatever you mashed into chat
Make a user macro thats literally
/echo end
And throw it on an unassuming vertical hotbar somewhere or something. Just hit it when you want to stop the parse between pulls
Sounds too good to be true, but it works
(I mean other than alt tabbing out and hitting the End button in ACT itself)
Is there somewhere to go if you need help crafting items? I dont know where or who to task if I need help crafting perfect items for the Zodiac Braves relic stage
does this work even if you silence echo? friends and are i doing old content
!faq sprint
Uhh, two different things
the /echo command is a text command that basically "whispers yourself a message"
oh lol my b
Useful sometimes when you have a long crafting macro and you want to make sound effects to yourself or something
Or in this case, end a pull haha
I can attest to the crafting. Works wonders.
yeah, or bard dot reminder
I dont have to pay attention and then get pinged when its done
Mmm, well theres no Trade channel or anything so the methods are left up to you. Ask a friend, ask your FC or a linkshell youre in, ask for help in the Novice Network if you have it.
Maybe shout in a main city like Limsa if someone there is feeling generous you might get lucky? Or of course, purchase from the marketboard
All this assumed youre arent on the Free Trial because if you are, none of those will work and you're totally on your own
I see people running trials with minimum IL and Silence Echo, why is it so? Only for the challenge?
Only challenge
Bald man streamer has been doing it so it's boosted it's popularity, especially with the coming new players
Only for the challenge, to "Get close to beating something like how we beat it at the time it came out".
Unfortunately its not THAT close so when youre watching Asmongold tackle an Extreme from 6 years ago, EVEN with min ilevel and no echo its still 200% easier today than it used to be. But its a start
okay thanks, will def try that out
Thanks for the clarification!
Short and sweet, its all you need
I'm not on a free trial. I could buy what I want on MB, but theyre twice as expensive as the materials 😄 So I would prefer to buy the materials and ask someone if they could craft it for me. But Ill try visiting a main city hub and ask randoms. Theres just the fear of someone taking your materials and running with them, cuz theyre not exactly cheap
Yyyyep, thats why friends and FC mates will be your best bet haha. But, I dont hear about that happening too often with this community. Good luck to you either way!
Thanks, we'll see 😛
is it faster to farm in bozja memorys or fates on hw
Hello, how do i take screenshots of my character in bard performance mode?
does having minimum item level and echo off on an extreme fight give you like bonus rewards or something?
Is there a list of ingredients that are only obtainable from drops and can't be bought from NCP's?
nope
Do you think if lalafells existed irl, theyd make tiktoks about how everyone is a bigot for not wanting to date them?
if i own an apartment and i switch GCs do i lose the apartment
also im lvl 60 but i dont see the new vendor for poetics is it based on msq? Like i have gear better than 130 ilvl when does the vendor unlock 170 ilvl weapons or whatever the next tier of ilvl is
can you set nicknames for your friends on the friend list?
no
you most likely need to finish HW base game msq, so after the quest called "Heavensward"
gotchya ty
Yeah the splendors people dont update until you finish the MSQ of that expansion.
i am afraid not, but every time you see new thing, always search if it can be gathered/crafted first, and then go to wiki as it actually faster and more efficient
howtf do i get there?
can i do a chat command to teleport to specific aetheryte?
iirc you have to go all the way up the bridge in the mid right of the map and then turn left and go all the way around.
You might be able to get there from the left side as well

there's a plugin that allows that in the quicklauncher but its not a thing in the game itself
is there an Ixal-like beast tribe every expansion that focuses on crafting and has the crafting thingie turn-in?
just noticed that i unlocked 'moogle' recipes in the same category
assuming that is for heavensward
no, ixal are the only one with the extra turnin system thing
but there's crafting and gathering tribes
oh okay
What is the difference between a dungeon and a raid?
Besides blue and orange gates 😆
i think moogles are just crafters, then namazu are crafter/gatherer, then dwarves are crafting and quitari are gathering
Is this useless, should I sell it?
dungeons are for 4 players and casual difficulty, raids are either a series of 8man trials or 24man ""dungeons""
it's useful if you want to "return to waking sands"
why not use them whenever you need to go to western thanalan
is it possible to level with friends if for example one of us is on EU ragnarok and other one on EU Omega?
and 8man raids have the hard difficulty of savage, which are like hard endgame content
@alpine shadow @cursive ridge so its a teleport to western thanalan?
yes
yeah
Thanks
gets u tped wherre the scions are, minfilia and the gang
Where is my storage in gridania i wanna store something
Cool
retainer is your storage
How to do that
no such thing as storage in this game, you have retainers who have their inventories (175 each), free company chest (shared with other players) and chocobo saddlebags (70 slots)
!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
and housing storage but that's far away
How to use the chocobo saddlebag?
ctrl-shift-b after you unlock it
👍
ctrl shift i is default
right, i rebound all bags to B
better to drag the icon on hotbar, no need to remember at all
i prefer keybinds instead
Is there any craft job that offers better gear than quest rewards? Like would I benefit from craft daggers compared to quest daggers etc
can i spam "leveling" duty roulette to get GC seals if i queue in as whatever role it needs?
If you want to
ok just wondering if ill keep on getting that rewards over and over
But speedrunning a heavebsward leveling dungeon is probably better to turn in gear
the adventurer in need bonus i mean
Yes the ain bonus applies every run
Unfortunate
well im captain in 2 other companies
Then yeah fates and spamming roulette would work
just getting a captain rank in all 3
And gc hunt log
yeah i finished that
i tried fates but it felt slow and annoying
ima stick to duty roulette
If you have blu you one tap the bosses
And there's 2 in outer la noscea that respawn one after another
my blu is lvl1 and i wanna leave it like that for a long time lol
Its a roughly 2 min cycle for both bosses
If a levequest requires three items and I turn in one HQ and two NQ, do I still get +100% exp increase, or would I get +33%?
Not working
Cant find it
The way it's worded "The delivery included one or more HQ items. Your reward has been increased by 100%." makes me think that turning in just 1 HQ would give the +100%?
Oh found it but its locked. Why tho? I have unlocked the mount
how to i unlock my next grand company promotion after i unlock squadrons, and is it worth spending the seals to promote all the way or should i spend them on something else?
If you only have to turn in 1 HQ item yeah
you need to have done the quest "my feisty chocobo" to unlock the saddlebag
You need to do anothwr quest to unlock thwm u believe
K cool 👍
And yeah it's ctrl-shift-i by default
I just did a levequest that had me turn in 3x Adamantite Chain Hose of Fending. If I had selected 1 HQ and 2 NQ, the bonus would still be +100%? I guess I could just test it...
Hi guys, my friend's character on an NA server, can he move his character to an EU server ?
oh that's nice ty
Once you unlock squadrons, you have to level up your squad to at least 40 and they must complete the flagged priority deployments that come up. That should promote you to First Lieutenant. You must also accompany your squadron through at least five different dungeons and complete them. Which should promote you to Captain.
@jovial quarry ty, are seals worth spending to promote further or does anything you buy with them sell for a lot?
Cordials and glam prisms sell decently depending on the server. Not for very much but they are relatively consistent.
cool ty, what is the main reason to rank up all the way?
Glams, increased seal cap, and a shortcut to some crafting materials/relic weapon items.
if you switch grand companies does it reset your rank?
anyone encountered this where the login fields are just blank?tried restarting already
no but you have to climb up from zero @heavy jewel
That ^
Also if you have a squadron unlocked, they will follow but you have to rank back to Second Lieutenant to unlock the barracks.
from zero what?
If you were a 2nd Lt for the Flames but switch to Adders, your Flames rank will stay but you have to start over from zero as an Adder.
anyone remember a reddit post from a few months ago with someone creating an interactive minimalistic job changer UI with hotbars and macros?
so is there a way to get yshtola outfit from shadowbringer
I think it’s pinned in #protips-and-ui
It’s on the cash shop
once you know how to reach captain of 1 GC, the repeat process is so easy
ah nvm
!faq
how do you open the desynthsis menu?
drag this on your hotbars
oh cool ty
I bought armor from the mog station and I can't find it anywhere in game/haven't gotten mail for it... my mail list isn't full any idea where or when I'll get it?
you can right click the item and select desynthesis
@heavy jewel be warned however as that interface does not show you whether your item is currently in an item set
Looking for some advice on this, so Im going for the Cryptlurkers set, should I bother getting the waist since they’ll be getting removed?
so you can accidentally desynth an item you're using
I didnt*, I've been ignoring belts explicitly for a while now because of the removal 
Up to you though, ofc
huh? belts are being removed?
Honestly I’m on the same mind set lol gonna my life easier anyway
in 6.0, yes
strange
does 'flank' mean 'only on the sides' or does it also include behind the target
rear is behind, flank both sides
flank is sides, "rear" is rear
i guess that's why you have true north
different servers yes, different datacenters not yet
It takes some time for orders to process. Purchased costume sets will be sent to the mogmail. Orders are kind of slow at the moment. You can also try clicking the Reward/Purchase Delivery Request button at the top of the mail window.
there is more than one eu datacenter.
ah okay, thank you
like boyfriend can make a char on spriggan or moogle
while i can create mine on omega
does DR count for the tank mount achievements?
only when you get daily reward
Yeah I believe he'll have to reinstall for steam.
sorry, I meant delebrum reginae
You can play across data centers.
So as long as you're all on Chaos you're fine
I'm pretty sure you can copy the data files over to the steam folder and just check and it'll go
Actually does the seam version open the launcher? I feel like if it does then it should just auto update for the missing expansions
Is deltascape 4 sav still hard to beat?
unsync? not really
Do I still need to watch the video or stuff or can I just get a PF and beat it unsyc pretty easy?
How many super potions do you get in hoh
There's several insta death mechanics so you can't just ignore them. But it can be cheesed easy enough
Not a lot
do Bitter Memories of the Dying also drop in zandor?
i wonder how unsynced neo exdeath works

do we have enough HP now that some of the stuff that's supposed to activate Beyond Death just...doesn't kill you?
Hello, can anyone tell me how hard it is to get the weapon Ultimate Dreadwyrm Claymore, for drk ?
Please tell me you can buy the amount of whatever item you want on the market board without being forced into the stack the seller is selling at?
long sigh why does the market board have to the worst economy system I have ever seen in a game... Anyway, thanks.
How often can you get them
Can I put wolfmarker gears into the armoire?
Can someone tell me the name of a song which plays in certain cutscenes from Heavensward? Avoiding Spoiler as much as possible xD
if there some etiquette for doing "Owner Need" on treasure maps or can you just do it? Cause I have bad luck on the rolls need the money for lvl 80 stuff
When does it play?
During the Cutscene of 3.4 where the quote "We did everything right, everything that was ask for us, and still - still it came to this" to put it in a spoiler free way as possible 😛
I feel like if you specify before running and run everyones maps then sure. But also generally people run greed for fairness.
Is it normal for the UI to lag a bit from the game? What I mean is I have a new, high end PC with a fast connection and low ping to the server. However, sometimes zone loading is slow, button presses don’t always animate in a way that tells me the game is responding, I still get hit with area effects even though I’m out of the bad spot per my screen, etc.
Tbf this usually happens only at zone in or at the beginning of a fight. Things do seem to even out for the most part except for the aoe hits. I consistently get hit with effects even though I’m out of the bad spot before it goes away. It feels like I can’t really trust what I’m seeing and the server is like a solid half to a full second ahead of my UI. As a BLM this takes a lot away from the tactical precision I keep seeing that is required to do the job well.
ok, so lets start from the beginning
i cant even play this fucking game because during install it asks me for a username for my free trial but the username it gave me is 20 characters but the box only allows like 8
Ive made two new accounts two new emails, this fucking thing has been out a decade ive spent more time playing video games then some people have been alive and ive never seen a game that didn't want me to play soi goddamn much
How are you getting these account IDs? I was able to specify my own.
I googled "ff14 free trial"
I made a "free trial" account
I load launcher
It says enter your username NOT email.
During accnt creation it doesn't ask you for a username
its under ur email
I log on to the square website with email and look at username
Its not
Theres a max character limit and It will not let me type my email.
Is that the same as username?
ya
then its still not fucking working
Negative
Yeah cases matter
stand by one
at this point i dont even want to play the game I just want access or know that its broken and feel justified
did you check your email?
"your password cannot be the same as your old password" GET FUC,KING FUCKED
sounds like you tried to change your password
are you using your email as your username
If you want, I can use zoom or something to help you
.........................................................................
Thank you for the offer.
I just clicked forgot username in launcher and it only resets password which ive done 3 times now.
I'm going to punch a baby
when and where do you get better gear than the augmented ironworks ?
@empty rose I just want to play Final Fantasy XIV using a free trial.
HW 55 dungeon
I want you to open your email
k
Look for an email that looks like this:
is there a dungeon that is good to farm for a dark knight?
Hey all, is there any website that can calculate how many of X items I need to craft to reach level 80?
just keep doing the highest level dungeon
there's no trick, higher level = better gear, better exp
So I've made at least two accounts over the past hour because I didn't know you had to make a specfic free trial account.
I received that email for my first attempt at an account but not for the free trial.
That's fine, all accounts are the same at the start, every account that is created is a free trial
then why did it ask me for a product key>
it is only when you apply a payment is when it transfers
Because you likely missclicked or didn't read
It went straight from asking for login and pw to asking for a product key
Did you ever use the confirmation code to register your account?
So you probably got the wrong launcher
!faq freetrial
This one
You can probably grab it from the calamity salvager
You'll have to manually get them
They are the exact same launcher
The 60 set via centurio seals in the forgotten knight
26.9 megs
They aren’t tho
70 via centurio
They are, I just uninstalled the old and reinstalled the new one.
Size isn't everything
She lied.
how much does it cost to teleport to your apartment?
Ok real question: Assuming I want to play all the dungeons and raids eventually, should I focus down MSQ until I finish it fully or should I do the level 50 stuff at level 50 etc.? I want to actually do the raids as a challenge so level synced etc.
Heavensward hunt currency
You can always go back at anytime to sync stuff
Right ok then
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@empty rose Never saw that I dont think, but I have emails saying my accounts created? this is so fucked.
That’s a good thing, ain’t it
Read the email, is there anywhere that states "Confirmation Code"
