Try it, daily challenge frontline, once a day and give plenty of exp
Select urft’s fount
Will give it a go, thanks :>

hey, will a world usually accept characters at a certain time? i expected goblin to be playable but it isn’t yet 
Did you men Manafont? To give you that MP back?
Yeah, it certainly helps you do double/triple Flare depending (Or, push out more Fire 4 / Despair). BLM rotation really really depends on your level tho. For below 80:
!faq blmleveling
!faq blmguide for level 80 @ Cap
The gallery page has hotbar examples, are you looking at how to level up the job, or how to play it at max level?
you can transpose right the way to has a stack of umbral ice at lower level @coarse leaf
That faq could do with an update. We also have it all listed here: https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/blm/guide/levelling-up/
Yeah better place to go, AM
Do I have to visit every ward to see apartment availability or is it the same throughout all wards?
anyone know why when i place a spell on hotbar 1 it shows up on hotbar 3
House availability, yes.
Apartments are near to unlimited availability as far as I know
I was just at the Mist and was told there are no available apartments. 😕
Are you putting it on your main hotbar? It might be set to hotbar 3, check the little arrow buttons beside it. Also check your HUD layout settings to see which hotbars are where on your screen
how would i fix the first part
Hmm, then yes you'll need to travel manually. I'd consider that the exception though, most should have opens
The hotbar arrows on the left will cycle your main hotbar thru the numbers, so you can go back to 1 if you need to
(I have hotkeys to do this, Shift+1-9 to change my main hotbar on a whim)
Don't tick share on Hotbar 1-4 and enable Hotbar 1-4 through hudlayout
You can disable Hotbar cycle right??
I don't quite remember since I use gamepad..
anyone know how i can resize this?
top right drag it
top right?
I have a random question about Subscribing to extra Retainers and Subscribing to the Companion App at the same time. I want to keep my Companion App sub, but the Retainer I got from it is the last Retainer on my list. So, if I unsub from one of the optional Retainers, will it deactivate my Companion App retainer (Which is the last Retainer on my list), or will it deactivate the second to last retainer (The retainer that I have an optional Subscription to)?
I just got my Dia and Glare instead of Aero and Stone.. Do I use the new ones now instead?
how do you guys cut the picture like that?
this doesn't solve my main issue
Windows + Shift + S
ty
They replace Aero and Stone - Dia and Aera share an action slot, so you wont have to do anything they upgrade immediately for you
Oh okie, thanks :3
Right there:
You got the little arrow lines at the top right of your chat window just like mine
you mean the text size?
Oh
Yeah you cant adjust the % like you can with other HUD elements, if thats what youre talking about?
yes, that's what I"m talking about, i just can't find the %
is there an 'overall hud scale' thing in the option?
right clicking on it does not give me the option
Yeah is there one?? Even?
maybe you used that
if there is I don't know if it exists
In here maybe?
Chat is like the one element that doesnt really do normal "scaling"
Okay so I had it on 200% and i moved it to 150% which is an acceptable size... but now the rest of my UI is smaller than i would like
enlarge those individual elements
Right, so you have to re-compensate everything else to make up for it. Damb
but now it's every element, it's nice to know I can shorten this, but I would not like to have to remake my entire UI again if possible
time to do a full search and pray
for friend referring, do both the referer and referee get the friendship circlet?
welp i accidentally screwed up my whole UI playing with something else so I'm gonna have to move everything around anyway
Yes, both - they need to sub for 30 days is all
Yeah
I'm gonna post this again, because it was overlooked: I have a random question about Subscribing to extra Retainers and Subscribing to the Companion App at the same time. I want to keep my Companion App sub, but the Retainer I got from it is the last Retainer on my list. So, if I unsub from one of the optional Retainers, will it deactivate my Companion App retainer (Which is the last Retainer on my list), or will it deactivate the second to last retainer (The retainer that I have an optional Subscription to)? Sorry for long question, but I didn't know how to shorten it.
Not a Companion App subber, so not sure - hopefully someone here is in the know
Maybe another way to word it is: Is the Companion App Retainer tied to the App sub? As in, the only way to unsub from that specific retainer is to unsub from the Companion App too?
It’s hard to answer as it’s a bit niche as in not many people are paying for both. I paid for additional retainers for years and if I went from 6 to 4 retainers, I found I had to delete 2 retainers for numbers 5 and 6 to fall in to the range I had access to
I never paid for companion app though so I’m not sure if they figured out how to keep them independent of each other
Okay. I figured it was a bit of an odd question to find an answer to, Google didn't really have anything for me, and I checked Mogstation's subscription info about Retainers and the companion app, and came up with nothing. So was hoping for someone in the same situation who may have tried it before.
Is there something you can unlock taht lets you listen to orchestrion rolls while out in the world?
No
damn
That is a cool idea though, Humle!
Example: I had 8 retainers, I wanted to go back to default 2. Retainers 3-8 were inaccessible, only retainer 8 had items left in their inventory. I had to pay for 6 additional retainers to access it as I couldn’t just pay for 1 additional, then delete them one at a time for number 8 to become 3.
Advice vis-a-vis data center?
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
Okay Osha'To, I get what you're saying about that as I've had that issue before. I cleared off my last two retainers of their inventory and MB auctions, so it's a matter of my sub for 1 optional retainer to drop off. Then i'll see if my Companion App retainer (Retainer number 6), deactivates. I would assume that's what will happen, but it's gonna be a bit of a wait until I find an answer. XD
How much overlap is there between farming Eureka for relic and farming Eureka for the glowy armour?
I'm only really interested in the armour but if you tell me it'd be a waste to skip the weapons, I might as well do em both
Thanks for the help!
You need a pagos relic done to unlock armour
Man fuck pagos
oh well damn, I'm reading the wiki wrong then. I'll shake my brain up a bit and try again. Thanks
They take away your glow for the final relic
WOT
what do you mean take away your glow? shouldn't final relic glow more biggggus
wtf
The final pagos relic
Pagos isn't the final step
Not the final eureka relic
It's the second
Anemos glows, pagos doesn't, pyros glows then hydados glows as it goes through two stages
Can F2P own an apartment?
!faq freetrial
Limits above
almost through post arr content but ive died at least once in almost every single hard trial and its getting really frustrating i try to research the fights and avoid all the mechanics but i still get one shot sometimes and i have no idea why
There IS a third party launcher you can use which does let you do that as an extension basically
It's called XIVlauncher
Pretty sure free trial is banned from housing even without that anyways
!faq quicklauncher
can a white mage send a screenshot of their action bars to me? I recently resubscribed but my bars are all blank, so I've got this lvl 80 white mage and no memory of what to do with it
Paying attention to your flying text for damage received tells you how you died
Is there a FAQ thing or a server similar to "The Balance", but for triple triad stuff? 
As it gives names of attacks that hit you
I thought they changed their name
Do old content and dripfeed yourself spells
We are often very lazy
😂 😂
!faq altlvlguide
See?
Fair
Jebaited

Anyway moving on
The balance says that BiS melds for sch after Crit are SkS and DH. seeing that DH doesn't affect heals, is it just for pure damage?
Yes
If you're a healer and you're not dpsing you're a bad healer in ff14
More damage = less healing you need to do
In any game**
If healers can do damage then it's expected that they do.
So if I want a more balanced heal/dmg meld I should go for SkS. aight, thx

Looking for a mentor if anyone is open to it, name in game is Dewy Boi
Question: I'm trying to level up my weaver job and I'm trying to use ishgard restoration but the materials required to craft the items are only available in diadem where I have to use a gatherer job and level that up 20 as well. Or I could buy the resources on the market and they are overprices asf. Is there any other way to get Skybuilders material or are those the only 2 options?
oh okay thats not that bad then
Does anyone know the price to play ff14
!faq buy
!faq subprice
For the sub
is there a list that will display what abilities automatically replace with higher/lower abilities as you level sync? Like other than just testing different sync levels via fates/duties can I know what if anything a specific ability on my action bar will be at different levels?
Question, thought I'd give the ps5 trail a go. Managed to make a character, and so far I've seen nothing but full servers. So is it safe to assume I'm not getting in anytime soon?
Just look at your traits for that job
Ty
Thank you, that's very useful
Example
try to make your character in the early morning or rly late in the night
which level 50 dungeons do i run for exp?
can someone explain what in the world enhanced army paeon does ?
Can we speed up the basic chocobo mount I just got?
It basically gives you haste for a few seconds for your next song
Story gives you mount speed upgrades and you can fly later
I already made the character on twintania. Do I have to make a new character or just log in late/early
Is there a way to always have the boss's health bar and cast bar displayed?
isnt it already?
Ah, okay
oh if you allrdy have 1, then yeah it's easier to log early when less ppl are in-game, since when to many are in the login que it gives priority to game owners
you get army muse no matter what. One way is you end early, the other is let it end entirely then sing new song. Effect of army muse base on stack of Repertoire so you want 4 stack before ending early, while let it end entirely is always 4 stack already
Is having the miner job required to do the restoration stuff?
wait huh do i only need one lvl 49 class or do i really have to level all of them
If you don't want to buy mats off market
Just 1
ok good
already did the daily and im out of rested xp so this is gonna be a bit of a grind still
also free trial so potd isnt an option here
It is
only to floor 10
for free?
could also run the lvl47 dungeon aurum vale
i heard free only gets to 10
free trial includes heavensward now
thats weird
so that means that potd is fully unlocked
ohh ok
Just buy the full game then, you already like it enough
Trial has heavensward which gave you the other floors
it was only to floor 10 when the free trial was more limited
Can I make the army muse 30s?
yes but im a stingy bitch so ima max out the trial first
lol
Army muse is 30s.. Its the downtime version of it so of you don't sing a song immediately you can still get the haste
Provided you sing a song within 30s
Then you get the haste
honestly my bard have not reached that but i kind of understand the text due to listening to explanation several time
Reading 14 tooltips are just a matter of breaking it down
but yeah, that thing sound way more complicated than it should be
is it me or BLM artifact set is a fashion disaster?
after purchasing and playing the complete edition on pc, i’ve now bought the complete edition on ps5 - am I right in thinking this has given me an additional 30 days of free play time?
Yes
Also are queues of 1400 on Twintania suddenly normal? (been offline a couple weeks, before ~400 was usual)
Trying to decide my next (2nd) job to level. Looking at healer. My question is Scholar or Astro? Not doing White Mage as my mate I play with mains one.
i main SCH but honestly AST feel better to play, rewarding as well
Astro seems to get better reviews, but Scholar gets you two jobs in one, so there’s that

The Better Half
Go West, Craftsman
This?
i want to open custom deliveries
but i think ive done better half
isnt it main story?
yes that is main story
hey
hi can someone help me why its still showing 1/12 even though ive crafted 12
is there somewhere i can get people to help me farm unsynced content?
because you need to make copper rings
im trying to farm a lanner
!item copper rings
but df so hard
wtf
Not the gear rings, it's an item named copper rings
ya i just realised
Yeah it gets a lot of people out, I suppose they thought "handfulls of" would make it clear they didn't mean actual finger rings
is there somewhere i can find a group to do farming content and stuff
im trying to farm the lanner mounts but its hard df
yeah i feel dumb now
Use party finder
Trust me everyone does that, myself included
Happens quite a lot, don't worry 
thanks 😆
Is Aesthete still bis for crafting?
yes
Cool, so with a queue of 1300 I doubt I'll get in anytime soon
is there anything that might cause Inscrutable Tastes to not appear, even with the proper MSQ progress and a DoH/L appropriately leveled?
are they on the dol/doh
is party finder a better way of going about farming mounts?
Yes
unsync it right?
does the HUD layout afk thing still works?
i went afk at a high floor in HoH.. i hope it doesn't kick me out
Leveling for the first time is just do maw, job quests, content unlocks right?
Yes
wait... what the fuck is the use for armoire? i cant put anything in it

Why do old players do old raids? I'm new just wondering what exactly do they get doing it
that was it, thanks Kael 👍
they were checking as a combat job
you can put event, achiemevent and the lvl 50 artifact gear in it
so its useless
its free storage for those items
gods i hate how limited storage is in this game
makes no sense with all the jobs you can have on one character
either they're running it for content that needs it (i.e certain steps of a relic quest chain) or they got it while doing their daily roulette
if i wanna put 3 levels on my level 62 gunbreaker, do i just keep running sirensong sea? thats the highest level dungeon i have available for this job.
Sirensong then Shisui at 63 to 65
ye but shisui is not applicable because i dont have it
Then get it
im in the ||Azim steppe with hien||
You're already past it
thats as far as i have gotten in stormblood
i mean the aether current aspect is beyond irrelevant imho
So I can't do the Nier raid my I level is too low 5 short any suggestions as to how to get high level I level gear?
Eden raids
are rowena token good for anything now?
keep doing msq and the dungeons should give you higher ilevel
can exchange them for weapons for glamour but beyond that no @covert marlin
thank you!
This is probably closest to the best gear I can get in HW as a trial acc, right?
It is
what kind of ventures should i be sending my retainer on
it was just in the shop to the right
what class even
without min ilvl, can people go to raids like turn 4 second coil, with very high ilevel gear or is it still synced?
Each gatherer is different and all the combat classes give the same rewards
I'd personally recommend like....one combat, one bot or miner
the combat one being whatever one you think you could give a lot of old gear to
and botanist i send on explorations? Or the 1hr ones?
cuz im leveling both classes on my own char already so idk what its worth to gather
kinda depends
guys is EU having issues again?
wot do i do?
Just log on
oh ok
It doesn't stop you logging on
You wanna do that for most of the day but when you go to bed IIRC it was worth doing the field exploration for leveling
Of course if there is some material you want the retainer to get you can just spam that tbh @river vortex
i didn't realize EU servers were getting so full, last week that queues were abysmal
It's very common when alot of people are logging in
Can someone explain retainer missions for me? I can send out my retainer to mine for me?
without daily bonus, about how many marks will i get per match in frontline?
yo is there a way to convert my birthday to the eorzean calender
They're in the month order
@noble skiff Well the birthday thing is a bit more complicated
because the Eorzean calander isn't 1:1
It's very close though
i just did the fourth month 4th day cuz thats my bday
oh wait
my birthdays on the seventh mont
oh no
I couldn't seem to find anywhere where the calendar you see in character creation for your naming day was posted, so instead of having to sign in and hit "create new character" to see the conversion table, I have it written down here for you all to use. The dates that are bolded are the dates that cover 2 suns, also please note that Eorzean wee...
Also there is no way to die the rep part of the deep shadow gears?
Rogue
Rogue
Rogue which you obtain at lvl 15 or 10
Rogue, can't start as it, you should pick a class that starts in Limsa
Which you can't start as
But you can't start as it
Marauder or arcanist starts in the same city
Limsa classes will let you unlock rogue faster
wait how do i unlock rogue
since yeah
Did EU servers go down again?
so can i convert my character to rogue later?
So do marauder or arcanist and hit 10 to pick up rogue
You can be every single class in the game one character
You can be everything
It's just a matter of unlocking the class and then swapping weapon/tool
so which class should i play for now again?
Maurader or arcanist since they start in the same city as rogue
will let you pick it up faster
finish your level 10 clas quest for Maurauder or arcanist then the quest for 'So you want ot be a Rogue" should appear on your map.
Hello i have a question, how can i get here without flying? Im trying to finish my last task with aether current but i cant get tho i tried for 30 mins
What does cannot retrieve character data mean?
basically just means servers are dying
:(
Ahem, guys, does anybody know why this may happen?
Ah, oh, nevermind.
I read the answer.
I'm on chaos
I thought I might have logged out wrong or something
I just wanna do my dailies :/
Anyone know if I can lock the NPC Text Dialog?
I hope this is not often such issues in FF XIV.
I find I always drag it around
It's very common to see when alot of people are logging in
Usually mainly seen during patch days or expansion launches
But with all the new players it's much more common
Uhhh, looking at the map, I ASSUME it's this (ignore the blue dots I had to get an image off of google)
Or something to that effect
At lvl 50 what exp boosts can I get?
whats the best world in aether
All of them
does it matter?

Asmongold faces his first big raid in Final Fantasy 14, The Coils of Bahamut is a 3 part, 13 turns level 50 raid, starting from The Binding Coil of Bahamut to the The Second Coil of Bahamut and The Final Coil of Bahamut. Will the literal god finally get some fat loot in FF14?...

Healer lb will keep you dead there
er, what's the server thing
If you're in a wall
yo its not letting me finish my character
!faq serverlock
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.
TL:DR too many people are migrating to XIV from WoW and shit and servers are just too full
Need help I can't see PayPal in payment method
Eh kinda does depend, because it's based on amount logged in you could very well just find a random opening but if you want you could just try at a less busy time straightout
does this apply to out of map death such as titan?
Yes and no
Some out of map deaths, pretty much the older ones, don't put your body back in the arena when you fall off making you unable to ever be revived
@noble skiff afternoon and night are the worst times to try making new characters when the game is so popular right now. Try again in the morning. My brother had this same issue but we were able to get in next morning at 10 AM
Later ones do just teleport your body back into the arena so you can be revived
Ahh oke thank you!
so can i save my character for now and open it up again later?
or do i have to keep it open
You cant save the character but you can save their appearance data.
You should be able to save character data
how do i do that?
It literally prompts you to ask you. Do it again
It's not something you have to go searching for.
what do i have to click
When you finish making your character and stuff it literally gives a prompt saying "do you want to save appearance data" and you say "yes"

oh
Yeah I think it's when you hit confirm at the end before you select the world.
So we assumed you would have seen that before getting to the part where you can't log in.
nah it didnt say that
It should, it did for my brother on the free trial
hey any crafters about? i just hit level 61 and someone told me to upgrade my gear now is there a vendor or something?
Buy shire with poetics in idyllshire or ishgard sundry splendors
does hq gear degrade slower than nq gear?
There'd be some stuff in Kugane but honestly I'd just make your own stuff. Normal quality gear fucking suuucks @elder herald
It lasts you until 65
where can i moniter the servers to see when to get in?
!faq serverstatus
Oh wait
Wait did you mean crafting gear or just combat gear because...two different answers
!faq worldstatus
thanks
crafting gear
Then yeah what I said
Not Vinyl, Shire stuff is combat only
Though getting scrip gear from Idyllshire isn't terrible
I really wouldn't use that as the gospel truth though, it's not always up to date and reflective of the actual state
i just wanna be able to craft the 3rd tier level 60 stuff for ishguard restoration
but my gear is too bad i think
ayooo i got in
seems the same when i try to make better crafting gear
How hard is Rathalos EX?
I've been working on my lvl 60 jobs gear via Idyllshire collectables. Gets them to ilvl 200.
Not hard at all
idk what that is
There is a way to craft collectable stuff, trade that in for yellow scrips. Convert yellow scrips to blue scrips, and then purchase Augmented lvl 60 gear.
Rhalgars or kugane sundry splendors
Idyllshire or ishgard sundry splendors
how much does the subscription cost?
!faq subprice
which parts of the crystal tower questline are required for MSQ progress?
All of it
all of it til the quest "The Light of Hope"
To a light of hope
hm, when it first introduced them it said 'certain quests'
"but I hardly noah" and "gift of the archmagus" aren't required
if you unplugged controller, do you have to recalibrate? I just deep cleaned my PC and suddenly my gamepad stopped working
so im having an issue with the orchestrion where its not saving which song i want to play when i enter the room, is that how its supposed to be?
the estate is yours?
I’ve never used the calibrate function and I’ve gone through 7 controllers
You can't change the inn room
Is there another place to get spruce logs? I havested the node before I accepted the quest
alright ty ty
Theres multiple nodes in that area
what is the "entry" membership tier under subscription prices?
Ok so like
it respawns
1 character per server
Im doing potd but the exp wasn't that much?
im talking about the music that plays when i enter an inn room. from the orchestrion
Yes you can't change it
the unspoiled ones?
is it a one time thing for the first sub?
No
D:
It's just cheaper
or just a lesser version of the subscription
found one
Cause you have less character slots
When does potd get good for exp
alright
You can gather or buy the logs you need before taking the quest and it will still clear.
I got to floor 30
yeah, you need to own an estate/apartment if you want it to be permanent
and buy your own orchestrion player
aha i see
Also whats good fellow zato

Once per week
Guys, what can Ispend my capped allegorys on?

when do the weekly gold saucer quests reset?
buy all the mats that cost 20 allegories
ah i see. Deadline is 2 weeks long, but i can still just turn it in and accept a new one each tuesday?
Yes
cool thanks
btw, would yall just stop at a book with 1 line and a decent chance at 2-3 lines, or keep fishing for 2lines at least?
I'm usually too lazy to get more second chances so I do the former

Does unlocking the firmament just require you to finish Heavensward, or 3.1-3.56 too?
try in a few hours when it's rly late or in the early morning
Uh... I don't think so? You may be able to desynth to recover some capital at least...
you have to complete the 3.3 main scenario quest "litany of peace"
are there ay better ways to lvl up from 1 until I unlock dungeons? I have followed job quest and hunters log so far, but it's not enough.
Job+Hunters should get you high enough to accept leves
Palace of the Dead isn't terrible
whats the / command for item search
so leves are good for xp?
. /isearch
I think? I know they're good for crafting/gathering classes at least
The FATE in Thanalan where you fight Peistes on a bridge is pretty good.
hmm. I will take a look at them at least. have only once tried palace of the dead. might give it another try as well.
i used to just grind potd endlessly lol
alright, will keep that in mind 👍
Thx for the tips guys
how do u get 350+ gathering for those legendary fish on free trail ?
when buying the starter edition from either steam or the official page, how do i know if i'm getting entry or standard subscription?
by default it will be entry, when you cross the threshold for standard i think it automatically upgrades
i think
If you're on the free trial, you should also have access to Heavensward.
also would recommend buying from official page
so i can't intentionally buy the standard sub, i have to try to make more characters?
A Birch Fishing Rod is +175 Gathering.
i think so?
oh
thanks though
someone on reddit says Like the comment below said you can only sub for 30 days with entry and for standard you can sub for 30/60/90/180 days at one go. With the 60/90/180 days I believe you also get a discount of $1-2/month
How do you get more CP for crafting?
melds and gear and food
What stat on gear gives that?
will be a CP stat
yeah i saw that too but that comment doesn't go into how to buy either sub, or which one you get when you buy starter edition
normally on accessories and main hand
Ok so it is just called CP thanks.
yeah
Crafting points if you will
The Standard subscription costs $14.99 per month and offers discounts if you buy months in bulk. It allows you to make up to eight characters per world and up to 40 total. This is useful if you want to make a lot of different characters or if you want to play with different people across different data centers.
The Entry subscription costs $12.99 per month and offers no discounts for bulk purchases. It allows you to make one character per world and up to eight total. Most people will only need this subscription, unless you need lots of characters or plan on buying many months at once for a cheaper price.```
says some polygon article
i think cheapest way to buy sub is either buying in bulk or buying gametime codes with a discount on a 3rd party store
i'm currently buying through mog station and i'm seeing no subscription options
the only option is wether i want to buy starter edition or an expansion
i set all dis stuff up in like 2014 so i have no clue 😭
someone else will know im sure!!
thanks for the help
How often can RDM use swiftcast or do they have a job specific ability like it?
they have a trait that lets them essentially swiftcast every other spell
use jolt to get your "dualcast" buff, then your next cast will be instant
I see, I was wondering how they were able to raise so fast/oten
often
Thats pretty neat
69 months
ye!
Guess its time to play RDM
im rdm main its super fun and easy to play well
don't dualcast jolt now
do you own the game? since you can't sub without owning it, starter/complete comes with 30 free days of standard sub, after you own the game you can setup your sub and chose whichever you want of the 2 types
yeah i don't own the game
How early can I start doing Bozja?
I think im up to 5.3-5.4
havent looked into it at all
think its MSQ gated behind 5.1 MSQ so
guess thats me after work then
this is the unlock quest https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Hail_to_the_Queen
Kugane (X:12.2, Y:12.3)

Requires Ivalice raids to be done
is this bozja?
Ivalice raids, is that SB?
I have alot to do today
yes need to to do the full chain of the 70 alliance raids
Does fantasia potion let you change your race? Everything about your character?
yes
Ah nice.
except name, that's a separate purchase
But the character change option we get at the end of an expansion, that only applies to appearances?
That’s a one time deal
fantasia - whether obtained or bought - is appearance
You only get one free Fanta
name changes are an account service you can pay for on the mog station
What should I do on lvl50+ while waiting for dungeon queue? FATE?
Am I missing anything if I don't try Ex/Sav content before Endwalkers drop? I feel like I won't have enough time to gear ontop of getting most if not all my crafters to 80 and working on a big gil pool in anticipation
I'm looking to unlock scrips, but can't find the "Go West, Craftsman" quest in Mor Dhona. I've already completed Inscrutable Tastes. Am I missing a step?
is there a way to see how long your retainers have left on their venture without going to a bell?
hii will the squadron that got declined/Discharged re appear on the list if finish challenge log?
Randomly
timers menu iirc @dull valley
I say if you have fun with working on your crafter's stay at it and when you need a break do some ex or other stuff but so long you have fun play like you want
What is recc iLvl and where do I go to look at ex/sav, I havent dived into that stuff at all, Im assuming I have to unlock via blue quests?
!faq contentunlock
ARR and HW endgame content
Hey so Im trying to clear out my inventory and there's alot of gear im not gonna be using even lvl 50+ gear, what do i do with them do they actually get sold on the market?
what about dungeons and raids?
Turn in for GC seals maybe? thats what I do
to clear space
then spend GC seals on ventues or dark matter or anything really
thats a good idea
my inventory gets filled up with sh*t so often its not even funny
Dungeons at msq 15, raids at level caps
yea and im in stormblood im forced to pick a reward thats either a gear or materia that im not gonna be using, before that u could choose a silver or gold piece
Materia I think you can sell, so you should be good there
if u get the potd mount on floor 150 and u sell it can you get it again?
its shire
thats the one
just buy it with poetics in idyllshire or ishgard
It’s augmented now
most groups want 520+ now since its easy to get with augmented exarchic gear and no limit on the nier alliance raid drops and for unlocking stuff scroll up to the kupobot msg with content unlock
Both are true
So I was doing Hildebrand just started but now the quest is gone? Is it in heavenward.
Shire isn’t in game anymore, Augmented shire is the poetics gear
oh thats right, I can augment my exarc gear, I was getting overwhelmed with trying to gear via cryptlurker
yes
how to augment exarc gear..
Or reach idyllshire at msq 58
So given Chocokeepers are not faster than mounts, is there really ever a reason to use it?
I use it when I want to afk for a bit
ah ok
like go for a smoke or grab some food
Not getting punked by enemies
the lack of aether spots in Coerthas are why im finally asking about it lol
endless walking only for there to be 1 aether..

Do I take out materia if I trade exarc 510 for 520? Im assuming yes but just want to be sure
yes
Would Priority Seal Allowance affect seals gained from daily deliveries/custom deliveries?
Some slots, yes
It varies based on your job
And resistance weapon is 530 or more?
Oh I see
It's a mix of 530 Crypt gear + savage 530 Edenmorn + relic
for BiS
relic is 535
Also has full control over stat distribution for the weapon
I'll have a look in balance disc for my job BiS
Sorry, what do you mean by this
yeah, if you are not aiming for Edenmorn, there are alternative like blade/augmented exarchic/android
I was able to get the exact BiS Sks value for my SAM rotation even though I don't have the edenmorn pieces since I could allocate the stats
Oooooh
can I get aura girl for my GC recruit ?
Thats pretty neat
where do i get lvl70 tombstone gear ?
Rhalgar's?
Kugane has scaven?
ty
That's where scavean is sold, not kugane afaik
Unless rowena's fence there has the ilvl 400 stuff
sundry splendors has all the respective expansion's tome gear so yea
ah gotcha
can i equip 2x the same ring ?
hiya, my boyfriend & I are just starting the free trial together, does anyone know any ways we can immediately meet up and play together even if we start in different cities?
Have to do msq
To unlock other zones
MSQ will lead you together soon enough
what does this mean ? that it is an optional dunegeon?
sync'd
Either that or reroll to start together till then, then job switch
to maximum stats for that level
r there optional dungeons?
ilvl sync
coz I didnt get a quest for it
thank you guys! do you know if it's difficult to find someone to set up a party for us later on since we're both on the trial? is there anywhere to request that kinda thing?
Are you guys free trail?
but r they optional?
If not, you should be able to add each other and inv from there
yeah it's quite difficult since a lot of MSQ instanced quest need you to break the party before going in
yeah, both free trial
so you need to ask someone everytime you want to party up
no, you can't buy the unaumgented version anymore
Ask in chat if a paid player can start a party for you guys
you buy the augmented version now
thank you! will do ^^
looks like it is
since there's a blue quest attached to it
When I’m getting poetics gear (lvl 60), should I get the level 1 or 2 gear? Or does it depend on the stats
Scholar btw
higher ilevel better
Hiya! Can I only upgrade into the higher level class that's assigned to my early class (like archer -> bard) or can I always change to a different higher rank class without having to level up an early class to lvl 30 again?
get shire gear
you want the augmented shire gear ilvl270
can be anything but need to start from starting level
if you want to be warrior, can't skip marauder 1-30
Makes sense, vielen dank for your help :D
Thanks guys 
are all HW bosses extreme soloable for birb mounts? as SAM
where can i find the quest "And we shall call it Eureka" in my completed quest log?
does anybody know what viera face this is? https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/16794/lara-craft
I would say there are a few that are difficult to solo as SAM
Side Story Quests
im only lvl 68 just wondering i just watched ||Sophia|| Extreme guide and i dont wanna do that xD my head hurts
thanks, now i'm just wondering why i have no memory of this
Yeah most people get in groups for HW farming @vapid nymph
How do i upgrade my Antiquated weapon to an Anemos?
How do you make a fish a collectable?
With enough 80s you don’t do half the mechanics
Turn on collectors glove
I guess that's unlocked with a class quest?
It's unlocked when you unlock collectibles
I don't have any such ability?
Then go unlock collectibles
for the OG tank mounts, do SB trials still count as "high-level"?
!action Collcet
huh, wrong one kupo
Hello! I am atm dead on a floor in Palace of the Dead with the debuff "Item penalty" so I can't use items. My party members are still alive but they can't move to the next floor. is there any way for me to revive or will I just have to leave my party?
Use the cairn of return
I found it
That revives people
It was in my actions list but hadn't been automatically added to my hotbar
Thx!
!action Collection
oh nvm it's the right one, just appear as different icon for some reason
I thought it was not Collect
yeah, it looks like it is one of the role quests that you have to do
Am I supposed to use anemos relic over 400 weapon while in eureka?
I've heard you can get the non-NPC-Market dyes from PoTD, but I'm a healer. Are they normally needed for what PoTD does? from reading the guide on it is says I can't do my job stuff?
The only advantage I see is 3 more materia slot
You need a house/apartment

Is it possible to set an item as a macro icon? Or did they recently take something like that out of the game?
still a thing
./micon "item name"
you might have to add item at the end
and you can only do it with items you have on you
Huh, I've been trying to set the coffee biscuit icon as my macro icon, but I've been doing what you listed above and it doesn't work :0
Do you have a coffee biscuit on you?
You need the item in your inventory
Cause if you don't, then it ain't gonna work
can a macro open a nearby chest?
deep dungeons
Just right click it 
Again just open chest
i just want to know if its possible
No
is frontline exp still decent after the first-time daily
It's pretty good imo
if you win
yeah
it use to give really decent exp, win or lose
but people were just afking so they may it that win gives the much better exp amount
i just finished Divine Intervetion quest and received an aethar compass, can't see it in my inventory or armoury - how do i pop the thing up to search for currants?
key items
ahhhh, thank you!
will do so 🙂
Anyone here able to answer questions on Chocobo Racing?
where can i spend my yellow gathering scripts?
Is there a ex/sav version of The Seat of Sacrifice?
Does anyone understand like relic weapons ect. I’m gonna hit 80 soon enough and I’m wanting to return to old content and grind out the weapons. Is it quicker at 80? Plus if I get one for one job is it quicker to get the others?
afaik, the SB relic area has its own leveling system not tied to normal levels
idk about the others
why does it say i need the ninja class/job to start a quest when i just finished the quest for ninja
for bozja, it syncs you up, so there isn't any leveling, just rank.
but eureka has a complete seperate level system yes.
but you do gain exp in bozja
did you equip your job stone?
equip your job stone
how do i do it
bottom right of the character menu, there is a crystal you can put in
how do I do role quests? I need to complete 1 to impress this guy i think for this main story quest
bottom right corner, empty slot in your C menu
ok thanks
Crystarium
you start them there
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
What is the best way to get gear for lvl 80 I already have the ilvl 430 gear
In case you started it without knowing and your quest isn’t at the crystarium
dungeons, raids, MB and tomestones
If you can spare the Gil, you can skip a lot of the grind by buying
Exarchic gear from the marketboard.
Probably around 1m gil for a full set, depending on your server/datacenter prices
What about bozja
Decently fast way to get i485 weapon and i495 left-side minus the belt
So you’ll still need a belt and accessories
why the marketboard exists
also it seems like I need to do eden for parts
no you don't
that's an option, but you don't have to do eden.
although you very much should do eden regardless
Is there a guide for optimal squadron setups for command missions?
why
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ua5uewclVNvIaVJ44eX3F3-y3QLKcn2z8R8d9Vvj5B0/edit# there is any guide like this for dancer and others jobs?

but also
Refulgence 
!daily
Command missions are the dungeons, yes? If so then Archer and Arcanist are generally the best DPS
Shit my other DPS is a Rogue 
And for tank, I found both to be equal, but Gladiator’s AoE is a bit better at hitting stuff.
Yeah my current setup is Marauder and a Rogue, I'm the other DPS and I'm planning on leveling tanks and healers though duty finder anyway
Does anyone know if you complete all the gatherer and crafter quests at the crystaline mean in the crystarium if you wind up unlocking anything else?
I am wanting to unlock the books for shadowbringers gathering, and was hoping it would unlock something that I could repeat to get a bunch of yellow gatherer scrips
i mean if you're ust wanting to grind for yellow scrips
do collectables
the crystalline mean quests are effectively the class quests for shb
that's it
Anyone here know about Chocobo breeding? If I don't feed my chocobo (lol) will it make any difference for breeding?
no
the parentage is the only thing that is considered for breeding
I see, thanks. I'm really broke atm, and I might not be able to afford them any food. >.>
Is there a group for grinding?
Grinding what?
Shiva for her weapon
I finally got the 50 notes, how to get the al iklil mount?
might get flamed on here but is there a recap of the post ARR story before Heavensward, thinking of using a boost because these MSQ are a crazy slog right now
Party finder and ask in #retired-na-datacenters
Claim it from the achievement menu
no flaming but i really, really recommend just plugging through it
Ah ok thanks Wynne

Skip to the A Realm Awoken section for the start of the patch story
@runic cairn honestly I really want to, and i've liked the story up to now, but it's at the point where I barely log on now because I'd just much rather do anything else, if I could skip to 2.4/2.5 where it gets interesting I would love to, but tbh I don't even know if I'll ever finish post ARR with elephant brain at this rate. Still thinking about it though!
@obsidian patio thanks!
Relic weapon question because I just started:
From what I get, I can make as many weapons as I want by repeating the quests right?
So if I like different versions of the relic weapon, I can have/make each of them? (because when you upgrade it, you lose the previous right?)
what exactly are fashion report kits
basically just a bunch of gear that's required to get points for fashion report
