so how do i go about getting better essense
It makes you flexible but not required
most of my essenses suck, since i am a tank
Buy or farm rank 2 mobs
is there a way to get here without running every time
Market
Wait till you unlock cll
Your main essence is Martialist
And get bloodsucker
Until you get bloodsucker
And that
only if you have unlocked the doman enclave as a port destination
then you could port there and leave it via boat
but otherwise, no
You don't change class for specific boss usually
why not?
Don't fight rank 3 or higher mobs unless you're using essences. Rank 4+ need healers
Since it depends on the player skill to play the class
how do i know the rank of the mob?
Player skill is a much more important factor than how good a specific job is for a specific boss
If you are better at DRG but suck at MNK, don't roll as MNK
switching to a job you are only so so at just because it would be slightly better at a given boss is not a good idea
Is it faster to get loathsome memories from crystal tower raids or from critical engagements?
can i not even solo a single rank 4 mob alone?
No, tbose start hitting really fucking hard
You need to mitigate like a proper boss and have healing
Player skill determine how good a class is, not the other way around
fuck, guess i'll shout out
Probably if you know what you're doing, but you're here asking for advice so you probably dont
You can fuck around and find out if you really want
Someone had told me that i needed resistance rank 15 for delubrum reginae, but im not 15 a nd i can queue for it, do i have any disadvantage for not being 15?
It'd better to rank up first to at least get to castrum
Then you can get the good essences for solo
No
is there a fdaster way to rank up?
You don't need 15 for dr
so i just find a party in the zone
you need 10 for DR, 15 is only for unlocking Zadnor
and get 10
Ask for party everytime you join CE
15 was the cap when Dr came out
15 is ONLY for Delubrum savage
Wrong
really, 10 is enough?
Yes
Zadnor just needs Dr cleared
And for skirmish, just contribute and don't die
ah ok, got it
welp nvm, then
Skirmishe and CEs are the only thing to give mettle
what's a good use of leves besides coffee biscuits? just realized i'm at 100 and i'm a free trial player with doh/dol at 50 and most dow/dom at 50+
Mobs are just for fragments and relic drops
To be fair all the aether currents are on that aide
Levelling crafter gatherers
dont think you can....
even past 50 it's still good? alright thank you
not with that attitude you cant
Idk if there's really an exact way to calculate this, but, how many slots in my hot bars, would I need to dedicate to a full kit of combat skills?
show me how then.
At least 3 hotbars
30
30 give or take on the job
Combat leves are garbage there's a reason they don't exist past 60. Crafter gatherer leves past 50 are in ishgard then kugane then crystarium
Yeah 3 hotbars
of skills/12 = however many hotbars u need ;v
uhhh, idk.
But seriously tho, pretty sure ur just gonna have to use your mount to ride there
sounds good. and i should focus on gatherer first right?
Best way to get to level 80 from 72, what should I be doing
Have you heard of an aether compass?
thanks
Up to you
Do I unlock gear pieces look? can I safely sell them and still glamour my armor to that item?
i;ll go buy some essense first
Ok, Thought so, Gonna be sitting here for a while to get these binds to be comfortable then lol
And what’s the endgame goal of this game so why should I be doing endgame
No
then head back to bozjan
No
Need the item
wheres the arcanist guild
Limsa
Limsa
aww wtf 😦
so you want me to just fly off the map?
Limsa lower decks all the way to the left
Story is main content, glamour is endgame
kk thx
The main content of the game outright is the story
It's a final fantasy game first mmo second
Endgame content after that is raids, gitting gud, alt jobs, mini games, side quests, beast tribes, glamour etc.
You type Fragment
or is it just at bozjan
You.buy fragments and appraise them into essenses and skills
What should I be doing at level 70 to get to 80 fast?
yeah im at the marketboard
They tell you what they turn into in the tooltip
Yeah then fragment
i dont see the option for it
first job? msq
!faq altlvlguide for any subsequent job
Partial search and type fragment
i did
Yes I’m a dark knight
all i see is fragment for music scroll
Then just keep doing the msq
its the marketboard in the main city right?
Scroll down for Forgotten fragments
it's mandatory
Yo guys, quick question. Will the 530 gear be replaced quickly (level 81 gear? or do they tend to be useful until later in the expansion)?
when Endwalker comes out
At 85
around lvl 85
85 or more, depending how stat scales
what is the best way to find a free company?
ahhh cool, thanks!
!faq communityfinder
!faq communityfinder
Level 83 dungeon gear will be 530
was just wondering if its worth trying to get 530
For reference
thanks
Yes
that is very helpful
You have literally like 95 dqys
it's basically the ironworks/shire/scaevan equivalent if you used that while leveling
When EW releases, 530 gear will be buyable with poetics
Don't so it purely for the gear, but for the fun
anytime i hear whether something is worth doing, it think.. well what did u want to do instead of doing that thing?
honestly, I ignored the item levels before 80 so I never really noticed it
i relaly dont see it tho
To take note that the EW story will reward you with gears too, so it is up to you what you want to do
am i missing somehting
ngl I am half way through the 530 gear for my MCH was just not sure if I should carry on
Edenmorn or?
If you think farming it is fun, then do it I guess
okay i see it now
cough it aint bis, but it is fashionable i suppose
Otherwise you can do something else
which fragment shbould i buy for a tank?
oh its not?
bis is usually combination of edenmorn and cryptlurker
Awakening I think, read the tooltip which gives martialist
which is best to upgrade first to 530, ring or belt? thank you
You won't be able to appraise bloodsucker since not enough rank I reckon

Belt will be obsolete by Endwalker
alright thank you
No point wasting resources on belt
tbh, everythings gonna be
Belt will be obsolete by day 1
Everything else will last until you hit lvl 85 ish story
@drifting sail friendly reminder that Endwalker will remove belts from the game, so don't worry about getting the best belt
If you are a healer, belt probably
The healer ring isn't that good
thanks for the reminder! ye I am completely ignoring the belt after reading about that
how hard is it to farm gil? thinking of using the portal insteald of walking
where can i store all of this, besides my chocobo bag
to cover the expense of teleportation? not hard at all
Just grab one from Eden normal or buy with Allegory tomestone
Use gearset
yeah just tele still no mount atm
so gearset useless items?
Teleport cost is nothing, you get enough to cover it easily just by playing normally.
And sell all the Gray one after you use gearset for all the class you have
@hardy scroll glamour dresser, or your retainer
By the time you complete MSQ to level 80 you will have been rewarded about 2mil just from quest rewards
Yeah, once you out level the weapons, just sell them
Unless you want to keep them for glamours
and do i need to keep the monster loot for something?
There won't be a case where a 20 boss is weak to a level 5 weapon
I say keep the green, and sell all the Gray daggers
Since you already got ironworks
fork the green over the grandcompany
i have question if I purchase the endwalker does that include all the expansion ??
im saving it for when i get my grand company up and be able to trade gear for grand company seals
Can't hand in gray
Buying Endwalker won't give you other expansion right now
Sell the Gray to npc
u can also desynthesis it too
so i cant play it
any npc?
Yes but you don't get them til Endwalker releases in november
whats dat
Make sure your current gearset is the best one you have right now
it is
Breaking down gears to produce raw materials
ive got nine seals for wonderous tails, can i not get any more seals? and should i use all my second chances?
@hexed belfry nine is the max
there is a beast book where i have to beat 3 monster are they some class req. for later or just exp
Can't shuffle with 9/9, just 7/9
wouldnt that be better than selling it, im currently at 298k and the cap on trial is 300k
You can’t use shuffle after 7
ah so im buggered
Hand in books and get another one
It is like a lottery thingy
selling it give you 10-20 each, pointless
Luck of the draw
Don't get too fixated on it
ight
@hexed belfry save the 9 second chances, you keep it with you even when you hand in the book, use it when you get new book
Very good early level xp
The grand company sections are required for certain promotions too and gives good amount of seals
But that bit doesn't give xp
can you use Surecast to negate effects that want to swipe you off the edge? will it work if used mid-effect?
k thanks
Yes but you gotta use it before the skill that moves you happens pretty much
before cast bar or boss animation finish
surecast does do that
the time it takes for surecast to take effect is egregiously long and not to be underestimated..
you wanna use it like 2 fucking seconds before u think you're gonna get knocked off
surely the end of the cast bar is what matters like with everything else in this game
at what lvl do i get my first mount?
not quite
or just story progression?
you can do something called slidecasting, where you move before the end of the cast
Msq 20
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Is there any discords or channels for Zalera? I cant find anything
Kinda. It's a sidequest that is tied to main story
thanks
!faq slidecasting
• Slidecasting is the ability to
move at the end of the cast as the game registers your cast to be complete.
• Mistiming it too early will cause an interruption and moving late will cause your next queued hardcast to get interrupted. (ping relevant)
• Here is a visual (courtesy of Cecilia Atwood) of the estimated time the game snaps the cast to be complete:
can you change idle pose
^ can use it to do lots of different things
so you can reposition between these and not lose dps?
only slightly
Different weapon pose, standing pose, sitting on chair pose, sitting on floor pose, laying down pose
slidecasting does not offer as big of a movement window as instant casts
where can i change these
but you can sorta shuffle to someplace else
It's an emote/command
Do /cpose
just do /cpose while weapon drawn/being seated or whatever
whatever you leave it at will be your new default
how do I run 50-60 potd ?
@cursive ridge AST malefic has 1,5s cast, 2,5s cd so you can move quite a distant before you are able to cast again
au ra running animation is so stupid
but don't I then get a save for 60-70 or how does it work?
You delete the save, do 51–60, rinse and repeat
I mean 50-60 for alts for lvling
do i have to type cpose everytime for this?
delete save, rerun
Start at 51
No
no
It changes to your cpose after a brief delay
I can choose where I start?
Which you can change on character configuration
What kind of dps jobs are usually the rarest in statics?
it's your new default now, but the default delay to assume that pose is 5s I think
^ a delay you can change
In the settings
none tbh
I think that one is unsheath pose
Between floor 1 and 51 yes
there really isn't a job I have never seen in savage, or only rarely see
i see it now thanks!!
ye, i dunno^^ just trying to figure out what i might wanna play, since i really dont know
Just spin the wheel of indecision
I recommend not choosing based on what other people might play
Play what you’re good at
!faq dpsmeta
FFXIV is extremely balanced for MMO standards, and their main differences come from other aspects like synergy, aesthetic, and playstyle. Play what you think looks cool or what feels fun to play first.
'I saw a rankings page and it shows otherwise/someone in Twitch chat /some random high parser disagrees!'
DPS performance differences via job design within roles are small enough to be completely insignificant for the overwhelming majority of players, and are very contextual:
-
In a vacuum, job differences within roles appear to only be around 0.5% to 2% apart, which only amounts to mid to low hundreds when we're doing like ~24,000 RDPS. The problem is that these vacuum scenario comparisons generally don't exist in practice.
-
Variables like encounter design (including ultimate phasing), kill time (down to a few seconds), strats and party composition/synergy can swing RDPS by a couple of thousand, or even reverse job trends.
-
Crit/direct hit RNG alone may swing +/- 1000 RDPS from the average. This number is usually smaller for Healers and Tanks, but still exists.
-
Even a small difference in skill/comfort, like dropping a couple of GCDs, a broken combo or two, slight misalignment of burst, and/or simply knowing a few more advanced mini-optimizations on one job vs another can amount to a few hundred RDPS difference or more.
You need to be playing multiple jobs at the same level of competence on a GCD-by-GCD level, in pre-planned party compositions, with predictable killtimes, comparable knowledge of niche optimizations and a high kill count for this to make any tangible difference. And even then, it’s still a relatively minor difference. Skill, personality, and job comfort come first.
The right questions to ask are what are the playstyles, strengths/weaknesses and synergies of each job pertaining to your specific situation.
I usually like playing what isnt played tho, it feels less figured out, feels like more space to try things
You said dps right?
i did, but u can convince me otherwise if u want to ^^
Hard truth: That's not the case
every job has like one right way to play them and many many wrong ones
and the right way is no secret
Everyone plays everything because we can be all the jobs
All jobs are figured out
Anyone know if theres a nightclub on shiva?
People on the balance are fucking nerds when figuring out the proper way to play a job
Check out party finder
I'd Bet 50 Gil there is
dunno about that, i havent played much ffxiv, but in other mmo's you could do things sometimes with situational abilities
On others category
nah
Every skill os used here
can you use emotes as default pose?
There's no real situation skills (outside of useless Cc, anti knockback and interrupts)
Naw
no
You use shit on Cooldown
I feel like for example you wouldnt use SAM Bloosbath on cooldown, so you might be able to make a tank's life easier if you offtank a mob with it or things along those lines
You don't off tank mobs
No absolutely not
Nah nothing atm
There's two tanks in raids for a reason
Tank busters
You have situational skills to use such as feint in endgame raids, or optimisations to your rotation based on when fight downtime occurs in endgame raids
Can't take aggro from tank, unless if they are not hitting it or don't have stance on
The first is in addition to doing your rotation the correct optimal way; the second is part of it.
However they might make some mistakes during leveling phase and you can use bloodbath in that situation
It was just an example of me trying to be creative with my tools, it wasnt meant to be dissected, because ofc it wouldnt work, i dont know enough about how stuff works with my 20h playtime, i was just trying to illustrate the kinds of things i liked to do in other games, but if that isnt a thing so be it
You do not however try to theorycraft your own personalised rotation.
But you better off bring the tank to him
There’s a mathematically best way to play your class, and there’s a wrong way
That's it
Don’t stand in bad
is there like a "list" that tells me what i should do daily for sure to ensure like max currency, wild thingys, crafting etc? 🙂
Does that mean that the statics in this game are more about my class and less about the specific encounter? Then I think I get where the missunderstanding is coming from, since I usually focussed way more on playing the specific encounter
No
They care about your PERSONAL skill
If you're shit
Youre shit
And aren't welcome
Are you good at the thing you’re playing?
I’m not really sure what the question means
Playing your class correctly is bare minimum expected
You don't swap job comps for specific fights
Type /timers ?
Anyone willing explain to me how to organize cluster/memory or give me a guide?
which addon is the one for dps meter again?
Act
Advanced Combat Tracker
Don’t have the image offhand but you can check for resources in here https://discord.gg/S8c4jbuASv
ah
Is there a general preference for nocturnal vs diurnal?
i see, it tracks for differents games
Diurnal
Its flat out better
Ah cool thanks
thanks
if there are two astros, should 1 go diurn and 1 noct?
K, im bit confused. there is any guide for it?
Can 2 diurn if you want I think
yeah man, boot it up.. and start hittin shit
Is road to 70 buff a limited time buff? I see some people with it and some without
yes
!faq roadto70
i believe it's 90 days but don't quote me.
:/
90 days from character creation or whenever the server stops being preferred status.
okay makes sense
Only gets granted to characters created on worlds designated “preferred”
Which is currently no worlds in North America or Europe
So no one’s getting rt70
Yeah people who created earlier
Before all the worlds stopped being preferred
And are riding out their 90 days
@split dust Plugin>search FF14>download it> On Plugin, open OverlayPlugin, click New and choose any from the scroll bar
if i use ACT to track myself and never mention it, should be fine right?
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
Set up guide link
no, i use it already, just feel it is not that important for dungeon run, might reuse when i intend to do savage
Best way to raise item level
Hey guys I haven’t started shadowbringers yet but my weaver is 71 ..am I missing anything during my lv grind that shadowbringer would otherwise give me ?
Yeah, shouldn't use for dungeon at all
Cause that's where they practice their 123 😂
The Crystalline Mean act as the crafter quests in ShB and it gives a metric fuck ton of scrips and xp
Do it when you can
i practice 1 2 3 and use ACT, feel so powerful
Yep the majority of the raid community do this
But this can only be acquired once on one single job?
kinda yeah
Crafters are split into three groups for crystalline mean
^
Facet of forging: BSM ARM GSM
Facet of…crafting? CRP WVR LTW
Facet of nourishing: ALC CUL
So you get to use them on three classes
let me nourish myself with a potion of acid
One for each facet
You're synced
You are level synced
And not at the required level to use it
ah.
you are below level at which the action is unlocked
All duties sync you down
it's a cool system that lets you participate in 'easy' content but it can be confusing
guys lvling a drk as a alt, is dungeons the best way to go?
Yes
Yes
daily roulette leveling not worth it?
It is
do the roulette once for the reward
how to hide the text cus i want to ask for some spoiler
Aside from lvl 50/60/70 dungeon, those are endgame dungeons with lower exp rewards
then select dungeons for levels close to yours
as a tank, i felt as though doing wall to wall pulls in potd to be better 
use || on each side of the message
I've never tried POTD maybe ill look at that
Daily roulette has a one time bonus per day, after you are done with them, you go and grind dungeons for exp
how many dungeons does it normally take to get from 30-50 on a preferred server?
selecting dungeons close to your level not only gets you much more exp, it gives you gear you can use
||i finish 3.3, will Minfilia look like that for the rest of the game? ||
PotD is inferior for tanks
idk, maybe i just didnt get the magical tank queue times
Normally, you get 2 levels for around 6-7 dungeon run
Do daily roulettes and dungeons
2 levels for 6-7 dungeions, damn ok its going to be a while till i get back to the MQ
Little faster than that sub-50
Unless your queues were like 15–20mins plus dungeons are probably still faster
Please take note that you should avoid level 50/60/70 dungeons
i feel like in that case, we wouldnt be telling dps player to go potd no?
Those are endgame dungeons for their respective expansion
So they don't give good exp
We say the same thing to dps
Does Dancer use "of aiming" gear?
Wait till they open chest and step on a trap at the same time 😂
Unless your dungeon queue is longer than 15-20 minutes, you probably still want to do dungeons
@serene dagger yes
Dps queues are regularly that long
Seriously, players never talk about how potd is all or nothing
can I fight the 🎵 FORWARD 🎵 AND🎵 BACK🎵 guy? I just got to post stormblood, if so then whats the quest?
Alex
Personally speaking, I will do dungeons and nothing else
HW normal raid
That's a side quest in Heavensward area
doing daily roulette, weekly and the centurio stuff daily but that dosent really feel like a daily routine xD
ok thanks, is the extreme version hard? I've done the ones for horses
Raids have Savages
All duty roulette are already 4++ hours...
Savage raid is usually harder, when compared to EX
How much daily do you want..
gold saucer is the daily i guest
You mean like to train myself with those for whats to come?
Heavensward raids have normal mode for story
You just asked about extremes so I assumed you hadn’t unlocked them for HW
Savage is vastly difficult as it's THE high end raid content
No I just thought raids have extreme too
They don’t
Ex is the step up of trials
ah then I assume you cant really do them blind like with the ARR extremes

Undersized or?
Extremes and up is when guides and knowing your job is highly advised
im assuming that means not level synched, if so then no
I got a few people trying them blind too when I was doing them
Don’t
So I didnt think its that unusual
Just don’t
It is unusual
It's only been going up in popularity due to new players
But blind for extremes and up is still a significant minority
haha I guess I got lucky then, time for watching some youtube guides
Can do extremes and higher blind if you make a party finder specifically for people who wanna go blind
But queueing up for duty finder blind is kinda bad manners since you’re hampering those people’s chance to clear
Generally we don’t recommend using duty finder queue for extremes+ at all
Far better chances in party finder and far less chance of people getting pissed off or being incompetent
Not only does it take long to queue, but people will probably leave quickly once things go bad
Plus duty finder queues are horrendously long for extreme
oh wow I've been using duty finder all this time
Yeah good chances of people leaving immediately if they got in via mentor roulette
Plus you'll get mouth breathers who don't listen or do bare basics
And constantly fail basic mechanics
You have significantly more control in party finder
i once DF'ed into a nidhogg ex learning party
shit was wild
Is grade soil the best thing to spend poetics on for gil or are there other top secret ways to make gil with them that only the gods know?
Soil’s the most consistently and universally good option I know
Other things might be good depending your world’s market trends
Where does this guy get off saying that DoH job only takes 500k to get 1-80? Is it because I didn’t do the Kupo Scratch Offs my whole leveling grind or..is it just because this video is a year old?
hello, may I ask if i want to lvl dps from 30-50 via POTD can i do it all in floors 51-60 ?
I'm a new player, what exactly should i buy Shadowbringers or Endwalker?
complete edition and endwalker but you dont have to buy that yet
well
It takes 0 gil if you gather and craft your own stuff and don't buy mats
what you mean not yet
This is why we say do them all at once
I understand that but screw that noise. Lol
if you are still doing 1-60 and dont wanna do 60-80 content until endwalker i would get endwalker
well you would be preordering endwalker, since its not out yet you dont need it yet
atleast thats how i bought it
Don't you get the past expanions once you buy Endwalker?
You need endwalker for BiS earring that gives 30% exp gain lol.
Yes but only when EW comes out
i dont think so
somebody confirm please :d
you do
you get them when endwalker releases
but if u buy EW today, you dont get shit
cuz EW isnt out yet
partially i think the reason is that SE doesnt charge you money for preordering up until near its release
why is shadow bringers so special i can enter dungeons with NPCs?
has it always been like this for latest expansions?
Because it's when they introduced the trust system
It was added this expansion
It didn't exist prior
trust system?
hahah cos u trust the 3 other nps?
npc*
so hows the npcs AI like?
i assume they are not overgeared
They fit the characters
what are squadrons
Poop
ahm i want to ask...she dies or dissepear from game?
Grand company thing that let's you run dungeons with dumb npcs
no spoilers
play on, its very clearly followed up
i hope she dies.. i hate her. i hate everything about her
ok.
😦
to little fabric to cover her skin?
A conjurer npc you see during the job quests
That’s Sylphie from the CNJ quests
Source of the “I just want to heal” meme
Is it in about 1 hour roulette resets?
!daily
Yes
noice, thanks
How do I unlock more keys as a bard?
Hotbar space?
You can go into Hud layout and make some more hotbars visible and use them
OH
OH
It's um, in the cog button there
Should've precise earlier, sorry
you can like, turn on advanced settings or whatever
Why does my character sometimes move very slow? This usually happens after i start flying and lasts for a few seconds. I did unbind the slowwalk and it still happens
server lag, just toggle run/walk again and it should fix immediately
are you saying press run/walk once or twice when it happens?
Whichever fixes it
I also have to say it doesnt really feel like lag, it feels more like an intentional slow down, maybe stuff is loading?
it doesnt, thats kinda the issue
One to switch
the keybind name is run/walk
But I am not enableing the slowwalk mode, and neither am I disableing it, it just happens, the run/walk key does not impact it at all, which is why i unbound it, just to exclude the case of me fatfingering it
but what im seeing here is that this seems to be a me problem
maybe just bc slow pc i guess
Only other thing I can think of is if you’re using standard control settings instead of legacy and you’re moving backwards. I’ve never had a zone loading impact movement speed and I’ve been playing since PS3
tbh I also dont really think thats it, because if i teleport into a zone, wait a few seconds after the loading screen and start flying it sometimes still happens, and at that point really everything should be loaded
its not gamebreaking or anything, its a minor annoyance at most, but i was just curious if its a known bug or anything
Guys I need help, for those who did SHB relic already, what do I do after getting the starting weapon? I can't find the next quest.
So either you’re lagging, your input device is sending mixed/incomplete signals or an ascian is following you
Nees to get to bojza to open the next steps, which requires 5.1 and continuing the bojzan story
I have to unlock bozjan Southern front to start step 2?
Cant be lagging, because it only happens when i start flying, that would be wayyy to muchb of a coincidence and I havent had any problems with my keyboard/mouse in forever, maybe it'll fix itself soon xD
You need 5.4 completed to get to Zadnor and hit rank 10 to continue the bojzan story far enough to open all steps
It's literally like 5 hours of work
Do u know where to unlock the bozjan thingy
.
Oh
how essential is doing the crafting/gathering classes? Is it mandatory in lategame?
Completely optional
I want to raise the size of the Disembowel buff. There is any way to do it for Disembowel only?
No
There is any other way to track it?
optional means I can get best stuff from other sources? Or does it help to have these classes
Crafted is never the best stuff
Except in ultra extreme situations
Crafted gear is the shortcut to skip grinding and any weekly lockouts to get into all content immediately
what do I skip?
Gearing up the long way
Crafted gear is the fast catch up
Provided your crafters are already geared for it
As opposed to controller?
Or willing to spend like a mill or so on market board buying the gear
can my friends craft me the stuff?
Yes
what about gathering, fishing etc
System > keybinds
All crafting and gathering is completely optional
Ignore it if you wish
Is there any website or list of all the daily stuff in suppose to be doing. I only now realized that daily leveling duties exist
No, as they said, it’s optional
until when are the new servers 2x exp?
SE manually Changes server statuses on patches
There is no more patches until endwalker
And I HIGHLY fucking doubt any servers will be preferred then for a fucking expansion launch
duty leveling roulete does not send 20 lvl alt job to 30 lvl dun right?..
the double xp is for all content right? all quests etc
Yes
https://i.imgur.com/Gq2yTdV.jpeg what to do with those? I cannot throw them away
ah ok
lol imagine if you could throw away soul crystals
Does mogatation only allow me to use my credit card on One account?
Where do I go if I found a bug? 😕
do you have to redo potd 1-50 if you switch jobs ?
You can start from.51 if you unlocked it
thanks
why does it say this?
Hi guys. What would be the best duty to join for leveling? I'm at 57 right now. Should I go with the 50/60/70 dungeons or the 'leveling' queue?
leveling as a scholar
is potd soloable with any job?
how do i turn off this in act?
Use a party to farm 51-60
it is
Use potd till 61 or just do it overtime as your so close then do HoH
yo what data centre should i play on in north america
50/60/70 isn't good for xp mostly because those dungeons just aren't made for leveling honestly
Aether, Primal, Crystal (Crystal is a bit more RP)
Up to you
been trying to do this for a while.. any tips? i feel stuck after a week
it wont really change much tho right, its just the people that play their?
Yep
All 3 stats got to pass
ai thanks
@wintry chasm how long do I have to keep leveling them?
Whats an easier job to pick up on blm or rdm?
aether is extra congested cuz forwatever reason everyone with a large following all jumped into this DC

Changing some training to get more blue by sacrificing red and yellow might do it @lucid narwhal
I forget the exact values training change by
Honestly RDM because it's rotation is simple and the rotation doesn't change much while leveling and it has more movement

@lucid narwhal If that doesn't work changing classes might
could try this and see..
it seems like you bought the game
nah i didnt
how do i summon it to help me fight?
I think if you do that then do the same for red then I think you'll hit the requirements if I did the math right
thanks ill try 🙂
Level 30 quest, My Fiesty Chocobo in Bentbranch in central Shroud
i started a free trial on a diffrent pc now i want to login on MY pc but it aint letting me download
so i just need to complete this yes?
oh, so you just wanna download the game
Can't download it?
Yes
Clicking the link worked for me
which link?
The one I provided...
You're just trying to register for the free trial
I'm just pointing out your link is clearly for registering accounts
Pretty sure anyway
Is it true that the drop rare for antelope horns from the Antelope stags sucks?
*drop rate
Blm or Rdm?
So Uhhhh....
Is there a free weekend going on atm or something?
2 weeks total from the time you log in
It's not over yet tho
I'm not actually sure what happens if you started it now, would the 14 days carry past the end date?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I honestly don't see it on the page
Yeah, it might show up on the mog station, I'll check that first.
Hi guys, has anybody actually manage to hit the 7400 collectability score for Grade 4 items at the Firmament? That seems insanely tough
If I'm in Primal / Excalibur, can I play together with other people from another world in the same data center ?
What should my rdm action bar be?
You got uhh...fireglass stuff I suppose
There is this one Ishgard Restoration café looking outfit I don't remember the name of, uhhh I guess the level 51 crafting and gathering stuff looks """Modern"""
Yeah I read through it, couldn't see if it's just "you get 14 days if you login during this time" or if it's "you can play during this time"
Yes
You can in dungeons and stuff AND you can physically visit their servers (with some limitations)
oh and Ishgard also has tanktop shit too
All sellable on the MB
In the specific Ishgard Restoration area
buy it with Ishgard scrips
Thank you thank you
i've seen a desynth guide from a year before that said there was a hard cap on sum of desynth skill levels
Not true anymore
yep, that was the question, ty
You also don't need to desynth items near your skill level anymore to improve it IIRC
Probably gives most gains though
so, i can mass craft some stuff then desynth it for leveling the skill?
Oh AND you don't need your desynth level to be a certain value to desynth things anymore, your level being high enough just improves chance of better materials
How do I turn in storm seals to increase my rank?
Talk to the officer
personnel officer in aftcastle
I did, but she tells me to talk to Rhiki but she only has a quest that requires a higher rank
Someone will definitely know better than I do but...maybe?
then you have to do quest first
What quest does it want you to do?
wait nvm im dumb I got it
on the balance it says BiS melds for sch is SpS or DH (after Crit ofc), but DH has no effect on healing, so I assume it's just so that you deal more damage?
What is the drop rate for antelope horns? Killed 20 of those stages but only 1 had dropped…
*stags
im having alot of trouble managing the hoarded gear i have, and idk what to sell or not
How do you make a job macro you can use to change your job?
just drag and drop from the gear sets onto a skill bar
./gearset change <number>
(or do /gs for short)
You can add whatever else you want to make it flashy
is it always best when making a skill macro to have it repeated several times?
like this
macro can not queue like self cast, so if it fail(animation lock), 1 line is not enough, spam them for guarantee
so for things such as Living Dead or holmgang, it's a good idea to have it set up like this?
idk, maybe it's safer than entrusting it to the game's queuing system
that's why i was asking haha
when you have to use Hallowed ground, living dead, you will spam that button already
i bought the game online how do i download the game?
if i wanted to avoid spamming a button would macroing the spam be a good alternative?
!faq download
not an answer to your question but don't use <t> for salted earth, use <me>
well, that could be a think, but for a moment where you have to be invul or a lot of disasters happen, that should be top priority anyway
I need some help with Fishing. In Summerford there's supposed to be a Ogre Barracuda. You catch it by mooching a Harbor Herring. Now I'm looking at this site that says I should be able to use a Plumb Worm to catch a Harbor Herring 100%. Still when using it, it doesn't work. I get the "your bait may not be suited for this location" message. Is the site wrong or am I missing some vital info I haven't looked at?
https://en.ff14angler.com/?spot=10302&fish=0&bait=0&cmd=search
If you use <t> it won't be able to cast on targets that have their center off the platform, like E3
thanks
i'll keep that in mind
prob will make a separate macro
ye it really depends on your use case but I figured I'd tell you before you find yourself in the middle of a pull and can't cast it lmao
i suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome in the past and i'm way more conscious about spamming buttons repeatedly now
it's unavoidable to a certain degree but i'd like to optimize wherever i can
well it is not that much of the time where it fail though, usually 1-2 press and it on
one question about holmgang, is the enemy movement freeze ever useful?
Am i supposed to join all the guilds in gridinia or do i do that later? i'm about to move to another big area it seems
no
and not unless you want to
ok thanks
Guys, theres something really wrong with the FFXIV login... I can't login even though it is confirmed my CORRECT Password and ID and CORRECT OTP on google authenticator... I reset my password Twice to check if it's the wrong OTP or Password and still it gives this that I entered the password wrong
for people running high end content, do you guys ever need to use shirk or do you get by with just provoking? for tank swaps
just make a shirk macro for your focus target and make your offtank your focus target
shirt is OT do too much dam, provoke is when swap happen
is there no other way to autotarget offtank?
you can remember their position in the party (usually #2) and use 'target #2' keybind, F2 by default
i think the username is case sensitive?
is there an gear set similar to Ironworks at lvl 60?
question, is there a better way to get diremite web than either buying or farming?
Shire
How do I unlock the Nier raids?
farming is quite fast, 1h for 200+ @river vortex
farming is very fast, 10 minutes will get you enough to last for the whole time you'll need them
apparently i have a realm reborn & heavensward edition, should i purchase the ''complete'' pc download to get the rest of them?
just buy shadowbringers, it will include stormblood
what if you just target #2 in the macro?
Word about Korma in Tomra starts it
ok ty
are the marketboards all linked or are prices city to city?
Linked
<2>
Hey, are there a lot of people queuing for extreme trials ?
thanks
@leaden ginkgo are you on the free trial? because of the way the expansions work (they have to be completed linearly) SE includes all prior expansions in the most recent expansion purchase
great, thank you
yes i never used up my free trial a few years ago when i started
where is the best place to farm then?
In my experiance, you will have much more luck using party finder
How hard and time consuming it would be to keep an alt? Assuming that just level a couple of jobs on it
mitelings are quick to kill, but they arent droping
Well now it's permanent to level 60 in all ARR/Heavensward available jobs
@leaden ginkgo if you never gave square enix any money you'll have to buy the starter too
even if i registered a few years ago?
Should be able to use the same account info
i purchased the a realm reborn before
then just shadowbringers will do
I just leveled an alt to 80 and i think it took me like a week of pretty heavy playing? Idk how that compares to other people tho
(and the gametime)

can you log into the mog station with that account?
also what platform are you on?
Oh thanks, I have some friends playing but apparently I am in the wrong data center
Is it worth it to do the quests for relic weapon? I already have the modified garlond set.
i haven't played a tank yet, but isn't shirk off gcd?
ye instant cast 120s CD
What do y'all use your Allegory for at this point?
I don't think the /battletarget is necessary but it doesn't hurt either
i bought those mats that cost 20 and sold them to the mb 🙂
I'm logged into SE account management system and just tried relogging so account details are definitely not wrong
Im on PC
Ah fair
hi! is there anything to do when this happens? i know you can log in normally, but i want to use my fantasia but can't because of this :(
nothing you can do
guys im pretty new to DoH whats the fastest method to get to level 50? just for moogle beast tribe
this happens when the server is under heavy load, which is totally outside of your control
through steam or SE? they are separate so you have the correct client
Levequest handins en masse, youd have to google levequest kits to see what you need to make - and Ishgard Restoration if you're that far in MSQ I hear.
Add on Ixal beast tribe quests, daily GC handins, eat food and use scrolls while you craft, craft everything you craft as HQ as possible.
Silver Chocobo Feathers are basically only for buying Tomestone gear right?
I think many people are also using it for Crystalline Rains or whatever theyre called, to upgrade Exarchic to Aug. Exarchic. If you have a lot of alt jobs that need gearing, anyway (thats where mine go)
Also, I tried redeeming the game on mogstation, realised I didn't and it keeps giving me the error of i2501
lmao
Thats right, thats all you can get. Either level 50, 60, or 70 gear. Not sure if they'll add 80 gear to that after EW, but dont hold your breath just in case maybe?
thank you so much
so just save them in case EW adds lvl 80 gear and I can't grind it all
If you dont need them for any 50 60 or 70 gear, you can yeah - like I said dont hold your breath cuz I have no idea if they will, but you never know.
If they dont by then, you might have some alt jobs to gear at 50 60 70 anyways 🤔
tbh, Poetics is not really in short supply
And that is true as well, we're usually drowning in them anyways
Sorry, not sure
well error i2501 is incorrect payment info i believe
I have question about purchasing game. My Square Enix registered region is Americas. I should buy NA registration code right?
yes
alright, yea idk whats wrong atm thanks for trying to help tho
if it giving you i5201 error, try using a different network, like a mobile network
Hello. Is eureka content hard? I kinda wanna do it for the armor/weapon for drk
How can I sell stuff on the market?
fastest way to level fishing to 80?
im trying to get 'The Look' as a bluemage
im following a spellbook guide i did a levequest multiple times and didnt got it, now i did amdapor keep and still didnt got it while dungeons should be 100% 'droprate'
am i doing something wrong or is this spell bugged somehow?
Is there an easier way to find the npc that does palace?
Does the dungeon deserter debuffs drain offline?
Did they do the ability before you killed them?
yes, multiple times
Quarrymill, South Shroud is the Wood Wailer Expeditionary Captain 25.20
Anyone got a spreadsheet for the zodiac relic weapon? (ARR Relic Weapon)
Can anyone explain what are these sorts of parties?
Where are DoH/DoL leves pre-50 quests posted? I've unlocked them in the 3 cities but don't know where to find them now
the hell is going on :/ https://i.imgur.com/6X2ZKbK.png
Carries
they aren't real parties
Or advertisements for carries
bro what
If im leveling up my lvl 30 dk, should i keep spamming levelling duty or should i only do it once for the bonus
Can you explain how so ?
@hasty turtle Put "/micon Shirk" at the bottom. Macros run line-by-line and you want it to cast Shirk asap. merror has to stay at the top unfortunately.
They're advertising for people who are selling carries through those dungeons for leveling purposes
Ahh I see, Thanks!
Hello! Coming from WoW, I'm used to servers mattering quite a lot (though not as much as earlier xpacs) but as I understand it, this is not the case in FF. Are there any servers that are more suited for people from ceratin countries? Any serves that are more casual/social than others? Thanks! 🙂
ah ok, good to know, how much latency is there between each command?
Does completing the daily Clan hunt bill have a bonus or you can just replace it?
How can i talk to someone on a different channel/world lol
!faq serverpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
I'm not sure, if you remove the "merror" line and press it you will see the errors pop up as it runs each line. That will at least give you an idea of the delay.
In short - French and German yes, if EU as llisted above. thats all! @civic spoke
It changes per level after like level 30 or something - Quarrymill, Saint Coinach in Mor Dhona, blah blah. Might have to do some googling because I cant remember off-hand
In case nobody said yet - ONLY ONCE! Never do Leveling Roulette more than once a day. For EXP, do leveling roulette once and then just spam your highest level dungeon (or look to Palace of the Dead)
In fact never do ANY Roulette more than once a day, eventually you'll unlock a lot more.
In the adventure guild, no?
fast ways to farm mettle?
Thank you! I've found it now it was in the guild. @knotty lily Thank you I'll look up where the rest are when I get past 30 🙂
so zadnor > bozja for mettle farm ye?
the hell is going on :/ https://i.imgur.com/6X2ZKbK.png
A party is being formed
Gotta reserve them servers
Instance server seems fucked atm
does EX trials lv70 count toward tank's achievement unsynced?
Yes
is there a way to extend act timer so it doesn't reset half fight?
Emanation EX and O3s are the suggested ones to do
Any summoner mains? I have no idea how my hot bar should look. I know it's all preference but shits cluttered af
options -> main table -> general
can set how much downtime it takes for it to reset the encounter there
Summoner doesn't use many, around 30 / 3 hotbars is enough
Are PvP queues always 30+? :c
Need to queue during reset time
Should I just hide the pet hot bar then?
Just wanted to try pvp tbh.
Only use heel and move
so i would rather not continue using steam to play this game
If i buy it off their site and install it, can i still use my current account? or is my account and characters linked to steam?
pvp suffers from not many people doing it, sadly
No, you'll need Place and Sic
so it's not that active outside of reset hours
Ah ok :/ Kinda sad
i just looked up smn hotbar to see if it was on akhmorning and what is this shit 😭
Rotation loop (literally)
that's your 2 minute rotation cycle at lvl 80
Rotations lol
Hard to practice healing in pvp without.. Doing pvp xD
does it look harder then it is
always does
things stop being hard once you put the time in to understand them 😛
Yeah, it's easy when you understand them
Check out other rotation guide which I don't have with me right now..
Thank you! 🙂
Or the opener that shows which dwt
Idk. Have you tried queueing daily challenge frontline now?
rotations don't make any sense when early on in the game
you'll get used to them as you progress
It's 1 hour and 47 mins after reset time
