you'll get no shortage of poetics to waste, i assure you
personally for me, i ask myself do I need the seals? if yes, then trade. if no, desynth. though i dont bother desynthing low level stuff (like under 50) as most of those mats are not the greatest of sellers
i trade everything in for seals because i cba desynthing and deciding what to do with the mats
i just constantly top up my stock of ventures because i have five retainers 
I....throw away the mat if it's not the current patch actually
in that case, what stuff in the seal shop is usually "worth" stocking up on? I have plenty of ventures, I only have 2 retainers
Grade 7 Dark Matters
can never have enough ventures if you're being consistent with sending your retainers out :d
but that said, i usually buy ventures, cordials, dark matter or aetheryte tickets
Glamour Prisms and Dispellers if you don't wanna look anywhere else
can also check prices on the crafting materials, like coke, to sell
or buy prism/dispellers to sell

is it worth the 2k seals per GC ticket? feels kinda high
its debatable
but i also really dont have anything to really spend gc seals on
and its easy to drown in them at max lvl
when dungeon gear is like almost 2k per turn in
do you get more exp in potd the higher your floor is?
yes, higher floor gives higher exp. generally tho its not worth pushing past 51-60
I see, thank you!
hello everyone!
I've been playing a lancer and enjoying it, but I kinda want to try another job with more aoe abilities? any suggestions? ^^
"More"? Like, get them at earlier levels or like, have more buttons to press?
aoe is not the main focus in this game
yes
holy fuck
It's the Rising. Shop is on sale.
how do you craft or collect more of the new event consumable?
buy it from the rising vendor
Where's the vendor?
aoe abilities! so far all my abilities are single target, and I'd like at least one aoe ability to go nuts in guildhests
You get one at 40
but if you want a class that gets it relatively early, archer gets theirs at 15
All classes get their AoEs eventually
cheers, I might give it a go ^^
I finally activated my account earlier from free trial to a standard one, and earlier it said I have 29 days left for the subscription (which is from the initial free 30 days). Now that I rechecked it, it suddenly got increased to 44 days...? I'm just curious where the extra 15 days came from? 
From getting to Lv30 on a preferred world IIRC
^
is desynth only really worthwhile if I craft? I've been passively leveling all of mine via GC dailies and I don't intend on actually learning how to craft any time soon
I've heard I can sell the mats on MB but that feels like it takes up a lot of time to research prices, no?
Does anybody know what this is? I can't seem to open the game
Desynth can be pretty easy money tbh
and it really doesn't take that long to look at the sale history when you're putting an item up for sale
^
There's a button for you to look for what others are selling this item for when you put it on sale
I guess my thought process is like, I'm taking in so much trash gear, and I only have 40 slots to sell on my 2 retainers, so won't I have to dig through all the mats that my gear broke down into to find the most lucrative to try to sell?
it just seems like it takes a lot of time, I'm also trying to not deal with too much clutter as well, so it feels like a lot of the not-profitable mats will end up taking up space?
idk if I'm thinking about this the right way
like i mentioned earlier, low level gear (i.e under 50) generally doesn't desynth into crafting mats taht don't sell that well
so you can not bother with it
and worse case if it doesn't sell decently on the mb
just vendor it
but if you're having doubts about desynthing
just turn it in for seals
I guess it's my min-maxing OCD
like its potential form of extra money
Crystals are good enough reward for gears I won't even use
but not really something you need to think too hard about tbh
this would be an easier sell for me if inventory management in this game wasn't such a pain
similar lvl items are going to break down into roughly similar materials
tbh tho it sounds like it would just be easier to turn that gear in for seals
Quick question, when does The Rising begin? Getting confused here by timezones
already did
Ayy thanks
Desynth is good if the next expansion comes with the new material from desynthing like ShB's Sublime Solution
is there any way to store housing items when I don't own any housing yet
how do i exactly get a zodiac weapon
If nobody here can help me, does anybody at least know where I should be seeking help?
i want these umbral crystals
for an anima weapon
how exactly do i best get the umbral and astral nodules
Can potd be soloed with GNB?
if you're working on anima, making a zeta for the sole purpose of turning it in is not worth the time
oh
just do fates in heavensward zones to get the crystals you need for the umbral and astral nodules
Hey um, I got myself a helmet, it is dyeable and everything, altho when I try dye it, it dyes itself but visually it doesn't appear so, does anyone know the solution?
Try searching with something like FFXIV XAudio crash
Can potd be soloed with GNB?
guys do you think pulling the trigger for drk eureka weapon is worth it ? i will do it one time i guess because of the time spent
any job can but many would say you should not solo it except for the achievement
all jobs have a 200 floor clear, that said how easy/hard it is varies on the job
would recommend reading thru this
it is a very good guide that covers potd
whether its worth is up to you, the eureka weapon at this point is mainly for glam
can you post a screenshot of it?
yeah i really like drk eureka but i dont have a samurai relic and even ninja is good
@twilit arch
Hello quick question about job boosts, they mention boosting the job you unlock at level 30 (or higher if expansion) but I'm unsure on whether you actually need it or not (wording isnt the greatest). I'm wanting to move to a different world (on diff datacenter) however I'm within 90 days so my only option is really to boost my main and just lose all my achievements and gil etc...
what allegory mat sells the best?
you need to dye the item you glamoured
aka what you're wearing currently
or just reglamour it
So the actual helmet I have on me, right?
yes
Not the one I want my character to look like wearing
mhm but like i said you can also just reglamour the helm you're currently wearing
and that will "apply" the dye to it so to speak
you dont need job you want to use a boost on unlocked
you just need to have the appropriate expansion if its an expansion job
so level 1 conjurer could become white mage basically ?
I'd be moving to a datacenter without road to 70 so I really dont want to go through it all again
the job skip would automatically unlock and complete all of the class/job quests to 70
You keep all your stuff when you transfer pretty sure
I only basically got to 60 and just completed ARR
So its not a lot
but I'd still have 2 months to wait if it was character transfer
just keep in mind that if you're going to use a job skip, should probably also buy a msq boost unless you're willing to redo that
I'll need to double check that thre are not any MSQ exclusive items for glamour purposes I might want before doing ARR skip (Glamouring is my endgame)
all of the gear from msq can be regotten in some form
Thank's so much for advice, I probably will end up just skipping ARR
You can just rebuy those from the calamity salvager
either its vendor gear, or from the calamitys alvager
the main thing that you will be missing out on, by buying the skip, is the free fantasia
Perfect thanks! Im going for the achievement 🙂
Thankyou so much for all the info.
does something similar to a Daze mechanic from wow exist here?
not anymore
thank fuck
use to get inflicted with slow if you got hit by mobs
but the devs kindly realized its a stupid mechanic and removed it
only exists inside of pvp now
ffxiv basically took most of wow mechanics, thought 'wow that actually is pretty stupid' and removed the stupid parts
Relic weapon for Samurai, when can I get it?
70 or 80
Could you check please? I am level 72, or just give me a video on a guide, every video on youtube is just for classes in general, not for Samurai, and i cannot manage to find it
70 would be eureka
i would imagine it's for classes in general because the quests are very similar to one another?
Exact same steps for each X0 relic
there's multiple relics, so which relic you want specifically depends on what level
I see, so every expansion has its relic weapon, right?
yeah just note that relics only start appearing from the expansion the job was introduced
yes
You can get eureka which is both bad and useless. Or you can wait and do the ShB relic at 80
samurai would only have a stormblood and shadowbringers relic tho
since they were introduced in stormblood
so 'old' jobs have a lot of relics to choose from
They NEVER add new weapons to old relic series
In order to get Shadowbringers relic weapon (which I suppose is the strongest weapon I can have) do I need to have Heavensword one?
No
nah
nope
you do the old ones for glamour
they are not connected
All relic series are independent of each other
Relics are separate
I see, so yall would recommend to wait until I get level 80, and then go for Shadowbringers Relic?
It's probably better
go for the one you like the look most
since once endwalker release it'll be for glamour
Considering eureka substats
If you want it purely for the stats

so if you like eureka's for glam, then go for eureka
I have no idea what euroka is, I suppose it's an armor and sword set, but I don't know if it's any good or anything,I started playing a month ago, this is my first character
You don't need to worry about it, it's old stormblood side content
i don't know much about relics, what item level they generally are for current expansion? worse than high end raid? similar? better? do they scale with new raids released of the expansion?
Relics are eventually the best weapon of an expansion
No
Some of them look sick
I suppose they are very hard to get, right?
nah
Eureka weapons are a massive pain
just time consuming
And that’s dumb
so current expansion relics are best in slot for the entire duration of the expansion?
not the entire duration
what about the ultimate raid weapons reward? cosmetic?
they become BiS at the end of the expac
And until level x5 of the next expansion
when the final form is released
Relics are the BEST weapon of an expansion, once the final form is released
Until then they're inferior to savage raid weapons
Are the Nier Raid rewards still capped(the third one mostly) or you can farm for those there? If so, how long does it take to clear those raids usually?
Cosmetic
ultimate weapons are technically better than whatever tier they released
They can be farmed
but are largely there for the cosmetic shinies
interesting
Ultimate weapons are the same as the savage raid weapon of the time they're released +1 materia slot iirc
So how do I gain those relics? There's a guide on youtube, right?
Oh that's great news! How long/hard are those raids compared to the ones in Bozja and Zednor for example? Just got my final relic weapon and want to be done with the armor too.
it should be somewhat obvious in-game i believe, look for a blue quest in the current expansion hub
Also, what are those? I just started pre quests for Shadowbringers and my gear is level 330, is it any good?
I also got tumbstones to spend
it should introduce you to the start of relic quests
No. Spend your tomes. Min item level for ShB is 370 and tomes will get you to 400
Nier raids take around 45 mins
Where?
Which vendor
Last time I bought items I used the ones in Ishgard
Kugane or rhalgrs
Kugane look for a blue bag NPC
It's always in the cities of an expansion

Is there good website which decently describes tactics for extreme trials (or any encounters which require to activate brain), preferably with advice for certain role (dps/heal/tank)? Tried FF Wiki, but there are just tons of text without specifics
https://saltedxiv.com is good for current raids
is there a way to change maid outfit from fits female to male?
or is it exclusively for women only?
the mogstation one?
yes
those are women only
currently exclusive to female only
is there a non mogstation one?
Whats the difference between /shout and /yell?
oh alright. thanks
/yell is a smaller area
thx, will save for later, but I am only 63, so I am far from current expansion
There’s a best maid outfit, as in like marriage
tyvm :)
what are good ways to farm gil and how much can you expect to make in an hour?
I need to apply glamour every time I get a new armor?
create a plate, re apply gear set, link plate with gear set
use your glamour dresser at the adventurers guild inn
What do you guys buy with Skybuilder scripts to make back money that you invested to level up ur craft job?
Does anyone know how a sprout can get 2.5 mil gil in 7 hours LOL, I am trying to buy a house for my fc and we are short that much
i wonder why the movement speed buff was given to ranged physical when it's melee characters who really need it most
peleton gives no benefit when you're in combat
sure but boss fights aren't the whole game
you also do quests and such, and running between packs in dungeons
most of the melee have some form of gap closer
ranged physical can attack from a far distance and can relocate during combat
i guess you can explain it so ranged physical impart their powers of unimpaired movement to their friends or somesuch
Monk just has a go faster stance
does any job in the game have something like warrior's charge from wow? there's dragoon's leap but it's a 1 min cd so it's not quite the same
melee usually deal more dam due to their positional and disadvantage of staying close while range lower but more consistent and provide party buff and utility
found a very similar ability, monk's shoulder tackle
That’s its gap closer
is there a min ilvl for retainers to get good stuff from ventures?
my retainer's at 510 and i only get worthless reagents from quick ventures
quick ventures are unaffected by retainer stats
!faq retainerbp
quick ventures are still very much rng
even if you have your retainer in the current highest ilv for the breakpoint
oh okay ty
have not had anything good in like a month so was wondering if anything changed in the last patch
can i search a group somewhere on this Disc (: ?
incredibly unlucky then lol ty
All melee and tank have them just in different animation
The closest to WoW's WAR charge is SAM's
yeah apparently i just don't have mirage dive for dragoon yet which is kinda that
How do I unlock Quarrymill's Levequests when i'm 80? Should I ask a lv 20~ to put the mob at 30% so I can use Solace?
try melee autoattacks on a caster
or removing some gear?
why 7 hours?
The only way you could get money that quick is market board
Shouldn't torture yourself just for a house, especially when you have no idea to get a Gil yet
worked with a naked AST, thanks
Can someone recommend me a discord for raids etc?
Im now waiting for 3 days to find a group for the labyrinth or what the name is (the big raid) i couldnt find a group. i waited for 1-2h, but didnt got a party, so im hoping someone could help me out, since its a must for my main story
(:
Hello! Is there a way to disable my name from going on top of the party list?
like trading game is the best way too make money like in many other mmos
BUT it requires experience and learning too get good at.
!faq dflanguage
Enable all 4 languages
Thanks !
And queue during peak time, best role for AR is DPS
AR ?
Alliance Raid (24 man)
I just got to this quest ( https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Gift_of_the_Archmagus ). Is this a daily or weekly for the Crystal Tower, and are the rewards at this point only relevant for glamours?
unlimited repeatable
its an alternative way to get the oil needed for the hw relic
Is the HW Relic also outdated gear?
Glamour
yes
relics not from the current expansion are outdated
due to the massive amount of effort needed versus just spending 600 poetics
which is like an hour of roulettes
Thanks everyone.
so I'm trying to do the Relic Weapon questline, but apparently my Gathering/Perception and Crafting/Control are too low to meet the recipe requirements, and I'm on free trial so I can't just buy gear off the Market Board. Where can I get better stated crafting/gathering gear in ARR/Heavensward? All the lists I've found for optimal crafting/gathering sets are for level 80.
Npc
level 50 script gear just meet the bear minimum? i skip it for 60 so i dont know
the level 50 sets probably won't be enough if you're on the step that has 4 different quests
lvl 50 recipe with *, not the master
yeah, the one star level 50 recipes
even with the level 51 gear I'm a bit short, and I can't make up the difference with just materia
Are you using the level 50 tool from the class quests?
I remember I made these with my LV 80 crafters
Pretty sure you don't have to wear LV 50 gears to make these
I'm only just over level 50
due to being Free Trial
vendor gear in ARR is around 30 point below the requirement
get yourself to HW, Idyllshire and farm script
both for leveling and gear itself
lvl 60 gear make these piece of cake
alright, sounds good. I haven't really done much scrip stuff yet, but it looks like that's my next step
is there an up to date guide on aether currents?
If you can make yourself HQ Patrician gear, you should have more than enough stats.

!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

thank you!
hello, I'm just wondering if this gigantic golden notification text has a name? currently looking for a way to either disable or reduce its size via something something
It can’t be altered
not normally, no
Don't you want a feeling of Pride and Accomplishment?
it's too much pride and accomplishment for me to handle! 
but yeah, that's kind of locked in, given the nature of the game
should be doable thanks to goatcorp and the gang. I just need to know what it's called
will Yokai Watch event come back soon?
It if does, it’ll be after EW is out
collab events not from SE itself 100% rely on the owner of that thing wanting to bring it back
since SE doesn't own Yokai-Watch, they have no control on it coming back.
Q) Subjective question... Which DPS is more "brain dead"... machinist or Red mage? for end-game raiding content that is...
Machinist has an RNG-free rotation, but higher APM
also needs fairly decent ping to play optimally.
Im trying to do this lvl 35 botany quest where I need to get Laurel leaves, but the bushes dont appear at all. This is supposed to be the gathering location and I cant find a single bush
Am I doing something wrong?
^
just level up, you will get trait that auto enable it
I've played FFXIV on and off since 1.0, and I still have no idea what the deity I chose at character creation is for.
It should be auto already
They’re lvl 49
then it even weirder
basically nothing but RP flavor
AFAIK, it only appears once in the entire game
being for your eternal bonding (player wedding)
its only at your wedding if you ever do get married
it used to give slightly different amounts of elemental resistances pre-4.0, but the differences were pointless combat-wise and kinda only mattered for some gathering node bonuses
The alliance raid series teaser for ew includes the crests of the deities and will probably tie into them but yeah otherwise irrelevant
I didn't include that since it's an unknown factor.
Fair
Probably won't tie into your own deity anyways
Maybe we can finally punch those absent fuckers in post ew
Probably just an NPC asking about what yours is and giving a single dialogue box about them
Or go full nier and it rotates a deity quest every week for 12 weeks
can i change hair color from the aesthetician?
if so how many times can i change
and how much is it per change
is there a meta for lord of verminion?
yes, and 2k gil per change, no limit on amount of changes
i can change everything related to hair and face?
everything for hair, some face stuff
tattoo?
yep
ear-stuff too like cuffs if applicable for your race
and misc face details
if you're an Au Ra, you can also change your Limbal Ring color
oooo
which is like a discount eye color change.
need fantasia
ah alr thanks a lot
whats the best way to collect bitter memories?
if you can find one, join a cluster farm in the bozjan southern front.
if not, spam level 60 dungeons, Antitower generally the go-to
you can also get it from leveling roulette, don't think the daily bonus is needed
@obsidian patio is it a guarenteed from 60 dungeon?
yes
nice
if an item i have is regsitered to a job can another job wear it as well under recommended gear ?
I'm on controller legacy mode, is there a way to turn off the camera auto correction?
all items have a listed number of job that can wear it, you just need to meet the level requirement
Jobs can share gear yes

Is there such thing as glowing armour? I have Cashmere robe of healing and it glows and was wondering if there any more for healers/AST
Only augmented certain armor has some sort of glow
But yeah Google up elemental armor
If that's what you want. Carbuncle set that's currently on sale on mogstation also have glow
are any of them purchaseable from player market/
Think some l 50 armor glows.
LV 70 content
Yeah that was the person talking about augmented cashmere
smn phoenix phase: you alternate between the changed ruin iii and outburst while weaving in between? goal is to get three of each?
4 each
only lvl 73 rn so we'll see how that changes
thnk
I took it into bozja to test it out and it wasn't so bad
do you also want to use up your egi assaults before you go into phoenix trance or is it just running into it on cd
actually I could prolly check the balance priority sheet for that question
I forgot hmm, just don't cap it so yeah
what's the cap for further ruina gain?
gotcha
ye ye
and you mainly use the further ruins in bahamut phase right
and for movement otherwise and phoenix phase is just prioritising the phoenix stuff
how do i choose the amount of an item i want to buy at marketboard
you dont
wth xd
You can't, unfortunately. 🙁 It shows how many is in a stack
why
i wanna buy an expensive material and there arent singles , people sell them for 20+ ammounts
feelsbad
One retainer can only sell 20 items at a time, that includes an entire stack, many people find it easier to just sell the entire stack instead of splitting it apart
...however!
You can jump to other servers and check their market boards
Go to the main aetherye of any big city, like Limsa or Ul'dah, click on "World Travel"
You can only visit the servers on your data center (for now!)
got it thanks
well has to specifically be one of the 3 ARR cities
can't world travel from expansion cities
Ah ok, I swear I did it in Foundation, but I don't remember
i thought my marketboard was for my whole datacenter guess not
I got a question of my own
Anyone know what the roe in the shop banner is wearing?
In this pic?
Wow, you are fast
Thank you very much! 🙂
Hmmm... upon looking closer, the roe in the banner seems to be wearing something else on his head. Any idea what that might be?
Hi, I was thinking of starting with ff and im a big fan of necromancers or warlocks and probably would want to play something like that if i was to start. What classes come closest to those archetypes?
its not armour, its part of the hairstyle
its wind caller, from bozja. can buy it from the marketboard
Awesome, thanks again!
I found Summoner to be similar to WoW's warlock!
So i have been gathering quite a bit and keep coming across hidden items within normal gathering nodes. I looked it up but couldn't find an explanation of what they were for. Anything special or just a rarer item?
In the next expansion, they'll be adding a job called "Reaper" that you might like, but that won't be out for a few months.
if they're "Seeds" then for gardening at housing plots
is there a way to clear ALL furnishing in a house?
Alright thank you 😁
put it all in inventory or storage maybe?
pretty sure not
damn i'm gonna be picking up 100s of stuff then
Summoners start as "Arcanist" at level 1 and turn in to Summoners at level 30. Also, unlike WoW, if you find you don't like a job, you can swap to another at any time (outside of combat)!
(Well, and not inside instances either, but you get the idea 😅 )
Yeah, thank you so much! 🙂
You are most welcome! Enjoy your journey in to Eorzea!
obligatory - summoner is kind of a mashup of weird ideas, it does have some things you can read similar to Warlock, like pet command GCDs, DoTs, Deathbolt and let's-call-Bahamut-Nether-Portal
that's more evident at the earlier levels however
and smn is also due a rework of unknown proportions in the next expansion, likely because the devs are aware it's a collection of varying ideas
Anyone know when this sale ends?
Tuesday, September 21 at 12:00 a.m. (PDT)
should i use my warrior's armor coffer right away after obtaining it from my lvl 50 job quest?
one very stupid question: does job level boost included arr relic questline?
No
No, relics aren't remotely required so that's not included
alright, thanks
i tried on two different items and they have slightly different action descriptions
does 'the copy of' mean it's not for my job or something
no
it's a copy of a book
^
first one is SMN book and i'm SMN, second is a SCH book
the gear itself just says Elements
there are some smn books that are like that as well
when I'm in a dungeon it's not displaying the other members names, how can I change this?
can mounts drop if you do extreme trials solo?
yes

hey guys, does frontline duty roulette give a lot of exp for leveling an alt?
It's pretty good
So how exactly do raids work? Like, I noticed Binding Coils of Bahamut has 5 “turns”…
They're all separate fights and the story continues over all the instances
There's usually 12 fights in total
Coils just has 13 cause dumb turn 3 exists
Each fight in a tier (set of 4) has its own loot for that gear tier
copy of is the counter word for a book title
What’s with turn 3?
Turn 3 is a literal just "get to the end with 0 loot"
Oh
it's weird that it doesn't apply to all books then
"we're not really sure how raiding should work" - arr development
Oh
think of turns as basically checkpoints of a raid
Coils Is wack and has some trash mobs in it
But that quickly goes away in each expansion
they're separated so you can have some rest between them
No one likes trash
I’ve heard it’s hard to get a team together because it’s not in a roulette?
It depends if the item name is a title or a description
…well then, I am screwed for wanting to do it
is it really that hard ?
Like "elements" is literally the title of the book, whereas something like "Ironworks magitek Codex" is a generic noun
thanks
you might find names useful if you play a healer especially
i play whm but only use the party bar to select targets
and the names get in the way when selecting enemies
if you don't like them, remove them, it's your UI
Actually considering the new player influx maybe more people are doing it? Nobody wants to do it in PF and I don’t want to unsync tbh
Whats a good way to get skybuilders scrips and what do I do with the approved materials?
Craft the items and turn them in
ok
I don't have a max crafter or gatherer though so I assume I just level those and hand in what I make anyways
Yep
hi guys i am second lieutenant and did all gc logs but i dont have the thing to click to enter the squadron room why ?
have you done the quest "rising to the challenge"
Unlock the challenge log
there's a quest that you have to do
erm do allt eh + missions in the area around it
ok i will look to it thx
Upper limsa
Is Stormblood any good? People talk about how great HW and ShB are but I never hear anyone mention the Stormblood story or characters
Endgame content was good though
exactly
I mostly enjoyed it
except for a character who ruined every fucking scene that she was in
:)

Surprise: it's the player character

When I buy a character name change, how do I do it? Is it just in the Character Selection screen?
Yeah I have bought it, I am wondering how I actually change it
You'll be prompted to change your name when you try to log in with the character
Ohhh, ty

Thanks :D
Under Additional Services
Thank you
Third one down ''Character Renaming Service''
Yup I see it, thank you
I just unlocked ninja
Should i switch some stuff for theirs
Or wait till i level more at it
define "some stuff"
Their skills
you should sit down and take the time to set up your hotbars with all of your skills 1-80
that way you build the muscle memory up while your leveling, instead of constantly having to adjust your hotbars as you get new skills
Anybody know why when I go to buy relic replicas, Regana only has the base model and not the recollection?
you need to turn in the recollection and unlock the next step to get the replica at the vendor
Turn it in? My weapon?
upgrade recollection to the next relic step
augmented or whatever it is
you only unlock replicas of weapons you don't own anymore bc they've turned into next steps of the relic
Ahh I didnt know that. But why does my DRK for example, has laws order but the vendor only offers my the very first weapon with no glow, woeburn
Woeburn recollection was the weapon before laws order
i recently unlocked eureka, how do i start going about farming protean crystals
Hi guys! I’m new, I’m sure that’s apparent. Can anyone tell me how to join clans? I’m a lvl 20 and haven’t seen it anywhere so I’m almost questioning if they even exist lol
you can request to join by right clicking on someones name
if they have a tag next to it
Does anyone here what to do after Party Finder has the right amount of people? Had no idea how to start the mission and everyone just left after I told them
you register for the duty like normal
but because you have a full party then it just puts you all in
alsoc heck out the recruitment channels in this discord
or if its undersized then you have to click on the gear icon and select undersized party
that puts you in unsynced
clan in ff14 is free company, you have to join a Grand company first due to FC tie to it, and to join a GC, do main scenario quest up to level 20
That makes sense! Thank you!
will 1 stat make a big difference or will this be fine?
flagged missions require all 3 stats to be met
ffs i dunno how to fix it anymore, i keep just losing stats on the other ones
would that last member leveling up increase their stats?
Do shadowbringers have job quests? I'm 74 lv already but still don't see any notifications about it.
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
soo I'm standing in front of Lil Murderer when do i know a train will take place
Lol 1 minute later the game himself informed me about role quests 🙂

how long ago did aesthete's come out?
was released with 5.3
so about a year ago
Do you by any chance get some Tomestone of Revelation from the Nier Raids as well?
Yes
hey guys, is there a way to make it so that on legacy mode you can still rotate your camera with left click, instead of moving your character?
The duty finder tells you how many tomes instances give you
it's on the youtube channel but it won't have official subtitles

question on nier sidequest
how can i get the last 3 quests?
need to redo grinds is not gloom then it unlocks?
it’s a weekly quest, did you finish tower?
anyone know where I can find macros in japanese?
Did you finish the followup quest after Tower?
so wait till next week, redo grinds is not gloom, merchant unlock?
yes just did
What kind of macros?
collected 2 things in copy factory
submitted to doomsaying dwarf
then it says i can only take another quest next week
class specific, and marking stuff
so for now nothing can be done?
it just doesn't have any triggers for the fights probably, it's just a pre-packaged pack of triggers compiled/written by a person, not magic
my sub is expiring in 11 days..
that means i can't finish the quest chain till i resub
If you're talking about like, saying that you're using an ability - you can use the Auto Translate system.
You’re not missing much tbh
I mean like
/merror off
/marking "Target to Attack 1"
/ac "Target Forward"
/marking "Target to Attack 2"
/ac "Target Forward"
/marking "Target to Attack 3"
/ta <attack1>
Yeah, you can do all of that with AT
don't what target forward would be in japanese
I'm not even sure what "target forward" means in English.
is this even canon in nier's universe? or pure fan service
It's canon to 14
It's canon to the F ending.
In Automata.
And uhh... one of the endings in Drakengard too, iirc.
but doesn't add anything to 14's overall lore right?
No
I think it means cycle forwards to the next available target
Wait, I'm confused. Why do you need these to be in Japanese? Does it not function as-is? I don't see anything there that would print to the group.
they probably didn't think it was worth setting them up for fights that boil down to "dodge aoe", it's also possible triggers from ultima ultimate are.. getting triggered, by some of the primals and not others, since some attacks were reused in more complex level 70 content and some weren't, some kept the same regex data in logs and some didn't
I'm playing the game in japanese, so the macros don't work
what is consider black color? for fashion report
Just go to The Balance and get the BiS list there
I'll just change my language back to english and use auto translate for the macros then swap back to japanese
Why Japanese UI though?
does summoner's garuda's Slipstream (the aoe zone thingie) stack with itself? or should i space them out
Ah, okay. Try using the AT system. Target Forward should be under "General Actions" listing. "ターゲット・順送り"
you should space them out
you basically overwrite a current slipstream if you use egi assault again
there's lots of different dyes, i believe getting any black one is +1, but getting the specific black one (have to guess/crowdsource it) is +2, the weekly fashion report notice people do lists the specific one
good to know
Is it worth Desynthing urban coat for the leather?
proobably not <.<
literally no reason to desynth it
well i already have rebel coat
just sell it on the mb?
i cant its bound
I'd still put it on the glam dresser
Desynthing is random and you don't always get that leather back
Ahhh gotcha
So I did the ||gentelmen quest did heavensward. Well just started, haven't finished and now I have a question. Is Gigi a Time Mage or something? Gig restore the time back to the original for both the Vase and himself which is pretty funny cause it came out in 2015, right? But Time mage still isn't here in 2021, lol XD. Or is that something all Mammet have? Idk, lol XD||
desynthing as far as i gathered is for white gear you pick up from quests and such, it's probably more value to turn in the higher quality gear for GC seals
technically can yes, but it won't show if you're not on the correct job
I play a bard currently lvl 55. In my commandlist are two commands which are greyed out. Lvl 52 Menuett of wanderer and lvl 54 empyric arrow. Am I missing a quest or sth. to use them?
no
it literally will not show as glamoured to that item because you're not the correct job for that gear
it will show whatever is the base item
if you want invisible glamour look up the set "Emperor's New"
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
Do the rest of the quests. You'll find out.
Why can't I turn in my copper rings.
Ok :D
wrong thing
Lol XD
oh
oof
thanks you
like for chainmails
You are... not the first to get got by that, and you will definitely not be the last.
@twilit arch thx
They really should change the noun for that quest...
"boxes of Copper Rings" or something
well the s at the end is the right name though
it is just that 12 copper rings sound like copper ring x12
Does Savage raid give you more rewards than the original, or is it the same rewards just harder? Lol XD
different, higher ilvl, and sometimes pet, mount or thing that can exchange for mount
AWESOME, lol XD
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Tomestone Accessory upgrade
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Tomestone Armor upgrade + Tomestone Weapon upgrade
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
Top half for the drops from each tier
can someone help me get 1 more point?
!fr
is fishing one of the better jobs to make gil?
No, typically
So, what all falls under questions here?
Job specific things good or no?
Any questions regarding the gameplay (excluding lore), or general game systems, or even installing the game/getting set up.
i try augmented shire for the right ring and then later on yeti ring and i got 1 more point, so might have to try something else to get more point
Really the only things that aren't appropriate here are lore-specific spoilers.
If I send a retainer out on a venture does that mean they are not selling during that time?
thanks!
Okay(this is a total noob question, so sorry), so no lore or anything on the summoner, but do the later summons all eclipse the ones you get before?
Just got ||the first primal one|| and he seems to completely invalidate the other 2 for most things. Is that a trend that continues or can I expect to eventually be actively swapping them in and out?
They have different roles
Summon 1 is for aoe
Summon 3 is for single arget
Summon 2 is burst aoe optimisation and survival if required
Are ||Mammet rare or almost extinct or more appear during future expansion or what? I only seem one thus far and that's during gentlemen sidequest at level 60. Or will the side quest explain that further to me too?|| Lol XD
Oh right, the second ability they get is gonna come online soon. I completely forgot about that, that would help give them each a niche
Thanks!
Waking Sands
will the ff15 mount be coming back?
Next month, yes
Hi i went there but quest are not related to the one i need
oh next month 😮
Click the quest
On the main scenario tracker, it's under iy
200k MGP
It tells you where it is
oh really 200k?
i got those
Question can you ride on someones flying 2 person mount if you don't have the aether currents yet?
See here
wait what regalia coming back?
yea
wtf
Click the quest under it. That's the Titan quest
!faq 2021schedule
i didnt know Vinylx tails
thx man
can it be mounted by other people?
Yes
4 person
ayt that is so cool
if i remember correctly
thank you
Regalia is 4 seater as expected
You can ride someone else's who has all the currents
200k mgp only sheeesh
yeah i will farm right away
on my main acc
:d
i do alt account to follow story
That's like 2 weeks of just weekly stufg
but for real though 200k mgp only?
yeah
i thought it was liek 2m or 1m sumthing
i got mine for 200k only
There's always a chance it could have come back
Hello, can I get the courser chocobo as a mount or a color?
i was so mad
when i lost acc
Garo is the only event that won't ever come back due to licenses
its a chance to get it back!!
but bro
since i play ff14
never though about
msq quest tips
already struggled when it comes to unlock dungeon & trial
lmao
I had been in the wrong place ...
Saved my life 100%
I've been looking for hours lol
Another noob summoner question, what do I have to do to get my little bastards to tank for me?
I feel like I have clicked every button and tried to position anyway they can, and they just won't do it like the story arcanists do.
They can't.
your carbuncles can't be targeted by enemies
It was removed for being broken
Topaz/Titan-Egi used to be able to, but they changed it in ShB
Would make the missions too easy as well
lmao
What, you mean in red? Yes, the company chocobo is recolourable
I get that, just wish there was a popup or something that said "pets can't tank anymore" or something
Titan egi has one endgame use - Garuda delivers aoe damage over time, Titan delivers aoe damage up front
If something isn't going to be there for the full duration of Garuda EA:2
The only "pet" that can tank now is the companion chocobo that everyone can get.
And it's really bad at it.
And essentially the only practical application for this is in the first few seconds of ultima Ultimate
what site do you guys recommend for fishing, that shows weather time etc
Is there a "proper build" to do for the Companion skills, Or does it not really matter that much? And, Where do I obtain more of the summon item?
!faq companion
You can unlock the ability to have your chocobo also be an overworld party member and fight alongside you when you reach level 30 and have completed the quest My Feisty Little Chocobo . As the tutorial states, you do need to feed your bird gysahl greens in order to summon them. Click here for a list of npcs that sell them.
What trees do spec into for my chocobo?
The typically recommended chocobo skill point allocation is to get 4 ranks into the healing tree for choco cure, followed by maxing out the DPS tree. The tank tree does not allow your chicken to gain enough enmity to surpass your own output, so its shelved for last. You can eventually max out every tree, though to level your chocobo past rank 10 you will need Thavnairian Onions
i saw some fishing guide vids on youtube, and one links a bunch of good sites
Thanks
Is there a site where u can check all titles in the game ?
for ocean fishing, specifically, I'd recommend this site https://ffxiv.pf-n.co/ocean-fishing
Schedule for upcoming ocean fishing voyages with information on blue fish, achievements, and more.
is there a way to contact a human in square enix support?
😂
hello, umm just to make sure, i'm checking mog station items, and i only seen the "gift a friend" option for things that are not on sale, is it like this for everyone?
https://ffxivcollect.com/titles @fringe bone
how far in HW do I need to go to buy shire gear?
level 58 MSQ
Anyone available to help new players complete Clouds Deck Extreme?
yeah, quite "far"

aww that sucks, i have to wait till 21st september to gift it now, anyways thanks a lot, appreciate the quick reply 
the 50+ class quests start up again at Heavensward right?
If it doesn't recognize your email, I would go ahead and try and contact support after double checking its the right email.
where can i get fishing gear besides job quests
you get a quick talk with whoever give you ARR lvl 50 quest then it depends, some still goes back, some mostly in HW
How does provoke work? I thought it automagically put you at top of enmity list but tryign to play tanks I'm finding that in open world content I can be in stance, provoke, and still not even be yellow on the target's threat gauge
put you one tier higher than current
no
just dont say it ingame
What's higher tier mean? I'm green tier, I provoke, I'm still green tier
or do you mean it just bumps me up above one more person
every mob has a list of enmity, A is absolute then 1 2 3
so if there are three tanks and I"m bottom, I go to spot 2
in 24 man, main tank is A, the other offtank is 1, all 21 other range from 2 to whatever
so provoke bring you from 2 to A
Will the last video on the official youtube have subtitles at some point, or do they do a different stream for non japanese speaker ?
So in reality it's probably bringing me from something like position 40 to position 38
yes, especially when someone hitting mob real hard already
remember that every hit generate enmity
Gotcha thanks.
I'm in a party with 7 tanks, and there's at least half a dozen other parties. So it's just too small a difference for me to see
halp, ive reinstalled the game but this keeps coming up
now you mention that, maybe you provoke and other provoke as well, it could even due to ping as well
i made a black mage but i think im using it wrong, it seems weak..or do black mage doesnt do alotta damage until high lvls?
!faq blmleveling
follow this when you leveling BLM
Thanks 🙂
your damage come from astral fire (except AoE at low level), so just cast fire until you run out of mana, change to umbral ice for recharging then go back to fire and spam
whats T1/B1?
How long does it take to get the relic weapons from heavensward? Mine is at the awoken stage
That's like the second step and there are like 7
how do i take the new job quest for black mage at lv 60
In FFXIV would ||Bahamut be the strongest creature in the game cause he pretty much destroyed the world and all, or are there other creatures even stronger than Bahamut?|| Lol XD
there are stronger
No but he's definitely up there
Who's stronger if you don't mind me asking? :D
You mean like the Lv60 one that gives you Fire IV and gear coffer or?
Matter of perspective. If you want an answer, #archived-lore-spoilers yelled at a guy about power scaling most of the afternoon yesterday.

what is the fashion report command to see the how to get 80
Anyone stronger at level 60 or before than? I'm at level 60, cause I'm on trial. Lol XD
i don't know, im at level 60 and am unable to reach a higher level
Its
!fr
thx
im new to this game so i have absolutely no idea
You're either trial or missing dlc
You need to buy the gamr and dlc
Trial/starter edition caps you at 60
ok ty you guys @faint flare @warm snow
All good, I hadn't seen what that looks like
is it bad etiquette to mass buy cheap items on other worlds and resell on your own world for a lot more? lol
you still have another... what, 14 classes to level?
No cuz it's tedious as all hell
Nope.. That's called Market flipping
And happens in economics
Also you're limited to 40 selling slots
Free market or something, baybeee
It's often more trouble than it's worth
welcome to capitalism
alright thanks. wasn't sure cause your name is there and everything lol
it's not your name, it's the name of your retainer XD
I figured it was the retainer name anyways
It is
do people go in dungeon blind without any prior research, especially tank
it does seems like we're expected to know every single boss gimmick/map layout and how they work flawlessly even for 1st timers
i mean you could if you want
but its the downside of having players who are doing that content to level
If it's not extremes, savage, coils or ultimates you can do it blind
Just dodge the bad
And go in the straight line
just that it does feels like the more I progress though the content, I tend to encounter more randoms screaming on chat over a single mistake
Don't be a dumb
but its pretty smooth so far overall
nothing wrong with looking at a guide, but i can't say much for jpn DC's yet
Only really relevant screams are: STANCE STANCE STANCE
And
USE HOLY past level 45
which version do i get?
Shadowbringers
