ty

[prisma hill]

I also had heavensward, buy shadowbringers expansion it covers stormblood

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i thought that i had to buy both of them, ty

[uneven brook]

i dont know whre to ask this so why does this weeks fashion report have no shirt

[wintry chasm]

Nah, latest expansion always includes all previous expansions (that aren't part of the starter edition anyway)

[leaden ginkgo]

that is really nice

[wintry chasm]

That is just for easy 100 points. Clearly you don't need any particular shirt or shirt dye for 100 points

[uneven brook]

so

i can just wear any shirt?

and i get a 100 points?

[prisma hill]

Don't think that there is even a stormblood expanion to get on store anymore xD

[wintry chasm]

According to this yes

[wintry chasm]

Right

[uneven brook]

alright ill trust you

[wintry chasm]

Just make sure you follow that and have something equipped in every slot

[prisma hill]

There are 2 versions to get now, Complete or Shadowbringers.

You only get complete if you didn't buy the initial game.

Shadowbringers expansion requiers you to have base game if i remember/

[umbral dune]

@uneven brook this week theme has no shirt, so the only benefit is to dye shirt with the right color for 1 or 2 point extra, the main theme is accessory

[fickle radish]

hey, is the coin from tower at paradigm's breach still weekly limited? on duty finder it says awards obtainable weekly but someone told me im free to farm for augmented cryptlurker

[prisma hill]

I farmed nier raids for augumented without any limits

[grave tundra]

hey all, anyway to get standard shire ring for this weeks fashion report?

[willow sandal]

can you wear 2 of the same ring?

[fickle radish]

weird, thanks ig ill just farm it then

[prisma hill]

They removed the weekly limits on the raids and eden too for the sword parts

[fickle radish]

aight sick

[hollow aurora]

I don't get it when I try to do fashion report it doesn't show anything?

it just pops up the requirements

[umbral dune]

you need to reach Idyllshire to buy those

[warm snow]

Nier raid gives a weekly bonus of materia clusters

[hollow aurora]

how do I add items to win?

[warm snow]

That's the only limit now

[grave tundra]

i have access to the augmented shire ring

[warm snow]

You waer them, it's a Fashion report

[hollow aurora]

I am wearing them tho?

[grave tundra]

but the fashion report doesnt have 'augmented' on it\

[umbral dune]

talk and choose second option

[fickle radish]

ahh makjes sense

[boreal storm]

Did you select “present for judging”

[hollow aurora]

wtf I did what they said and got 78

[umbral dune]

i use augmented and it still count, that said some item give more than other, like yeti ring give 1 more point than the shire ring

[boreal storm]

both augmented and the original versions work

[warm snow]

Looks like you didn't dye your shit

[hollow aurora]

I did lol

[grave tundra]

ooooo ok cool

[hollow aurora]

rust red like they said

maybe I should get the shire pantrikriast bracelets too

to increase a few mroe points

I get 3 more tries right?

[boreal storm]

I just had bracelets, and the 2 rings got an 89

[grave tundra]

oh sweet it does work

got 100

[modest light]

is there some where to reset cd's so i can practice openers?

[fickle meadow]

can you setup an emote to happen when you finish a duty?

sometimes i see people emote after the duty is over

[umbral dune]

stone sky sea

[faint flare]

Enter an instance solo and leave

To reset Cooldowns

[wintry chasm]

Nope

[faint flare]

No, people are just pressing the emote via hotkey or something once they're done

[wintry chasm]

^

Or you're just looking at the final boss death cutscene which often does just make the party emote

[fickle meadow]

ah gotcha

[vernal lily]

how important is it to complete Coils of Bahamut for the lore purposes?

[white prism]

how long does it takes to level all the disciples of hand/land classes to level 60?

[slate spindle]

You do have a few bits of dialogue later that change based whether you have done them, but it's more flavour than it is a big difference

[wintry chasm]

mmm

[vernal lily]

its so hard to find a group for it

[wintry chasm]

I suppose you do get it being a bit more important for background knowledge for maybe ||Lunar Bahamut and how the empire did it?||

[wintry chasm]

Party finder, do unsync, say first time bonus and watch people come

[slate spindle]

Don't be queueing via DF for it, it will take forever to fill if it even does at all

[vernal lily]

should I just abandon the duty finder? im 1hour in 😦

[faint flare]

Yes

[heavy wadi]

don't use df

[faint flare]

Its not in any roulette

And you'll have a extremely low chance to clear

[slate spindle]

You would have better luck trying to get people in Party Finder instead as Calisaie mentioned

[faint flare]

Mechanics WILL kill you and your group

[slate spindle]

That said there's nothing wrong with going back to it when you're stronger and can do it with fewer/solo

[vernal lily]

@wintry chasm what do u mean by first time bonus is that a thing u can set?

[dim widget]

Do you have to be in the same server as the FC to join an FC?

Is #603040765723148289 just for FC to post recruitment or can ppl post LF FCs there as I saw a post there LF FC

[wintry chasm]

If someone is new to the duty everyone gets bonuses @vernal lily It's not something you set

[faint flare]

You get a bonus if you're first time clearing a duty

[wintry chasm]

But it's good to mention so people know they'd get bonuses for helping you

[tired lily]

I had a friend join ff14 but was only able to make a character on aether cause the servers are on lockdown so he made one on crystal. I wanna swap over to his server but if he ends up not continuing I would like to continue playing with friends on aether. Any news on whether the data center travel will be happening?

[faint flare]

Data centre travel testing is coming between September and November

We'll have a live letter around September to talk more about stuff

[wintry chasm]

There is a live letter on the 18th afaik so they might mention it then

[vernal lily]

@wintry chasm I see, is the unsynced same as undersized?

[faint flare]

Yes

[wintry chasm]

yes yes

[patent citrus]

There wasnt a sync'd option on undersized

that's why people were calling it unsync

[warm snow]

That's a very recent addition

5.4 iirc

[violet moth]

As someone who wants to get the most out of the free trial, what should i be purchasing with my gil? Im near the 300k cap haha

[vernal lily]

Btw, is it the same for Alexander raid as Coils of Bahamut? Is there lore bits im missing by skipping them? I feel like I cant continue without doing it..

[heavy wadi]

alexander is easier to do than coils, because it's actually in a roulette.

coils is the only raid not in one because it's essentially savage difficulty by default.

[civic spoke]

How can I remove the sprout icon from one of my alts?

[last acorn]

Any way to apologize in emotes?

[leaden ginkgo]

any tips for completing this week's fashion report? I really want the 60k MGP but I took a look at Miss Kaiyoko's guide and it's mainly post HW gear(I'm not going to reach HW anytime soon)

[vernal lily]

I see, @heavy wadi thanks

[boreal storm]

Shadowbringers with 7 days played

[umbral dune]

type /nastatus in chat

sorry, it only hid the icon

[civic spoke]

Ty

[leaden ginkgo]

like I don't know if I'll ever reach HW on this sprout alt so I'm wondering what else is possible

[honest orchid]

I just hit Shadowbringers, but I kinda wanna try some of the older raids. Do people still play them or do they only play crystal tower?

[faint flare]

They do

[warm snow]

They're all still reasonably active

Ct is just the most active

[faint flare]

Crystal tower is the main one in the roulette cause everyone has it unlocked and people cheese their ilvl to force it

[boreal storm]

People run the 70 raids for bozja unlock

[warm snow]

I run them cuz they're fun and I want the orchestrion rolls

[boreal storm]

Nier raids because they’re current

[heavy wadi]

CT is also required for msq so yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

CT is the most active due to mandatory MSQ

[heavy wadi]

if you want to unlock them...

Hello --- when im currently doing the Labyrinth of the ancients. It mentioned that 3 parties will be formed. As a healer will I also be able to heal other people from that party or just focus on mine?

[ripe hound]

Did the seasonal event ended?

[warm snow]

Moonfaire is over yes

[ripe hound]

I see

Sad

Forgot about it lol

[warm snow]

You were told the end date LITERALLY every time you logged in since it started

[boreal storm]

Go talk to our lord and savior, Yoshi P I mean the wandering minstrel

#kupo-bot-spam

[exotic star]

thanks

[umbral dune]

heal, raise, esuna, all

[boreal storm]

Only targeted heals will work on other parties

[faint flare]

Only single target heals and raises work on other alliances. You focus on your group and raise other healers if needed

[umbral dune]

the only thing is that when you have to do that, they kind of f#$ up already

[tidal hare]

Just started doing my squadron stuff. Is "challenging but equal to the task" worth going for, or should I only go for "bound to succeed"?

[boreal storm]

2/3 is fine

[tidal hare]

thanks

Asked because I could only do the lvl 1 mission with 3/3, but could do the lvl 10 with 2/3

[boreal storm]

3/3 is only needed for flagged missions

[umbral dune]

fail still give 50% exp

[rustic badge]

are cosmetic chests listed under 'Armor' tab on the market? or is there some other Glamour/cosmetic tab?

or no such thing? its all same, if I am looking for a chest item for glamour it will be in the armor tab?

[solar kindle]

Will dreadwyrm dance change my rotation pretty heavily?

[faint flare]

No

Trace itself doesn't do much

It's the demis that do

[solar kindle]

Trance i mean

[faint flare]

DWT doesn't give you any benefits outside of resetting Tri diaster

[umbral dune]

can the pet be clipped if i use assault 1 followed by 2?

[faint flare]

It's a gcd so they won't clip

But they'll be qued into the pet ai and done whenever the pet feels like it

[umbral dune]

well, my faerie does that sometimes, kind of getting use to it

[faint flare]

The pet ai is alot worse cause you have more pet actions on smn

Usually two EAs back to back are fine...adding extra gets iffy

Opener usually adds a ruin 3 as a buffer instead of just using 4 EAs back to back

Its if you weave a pet action between EAs

[leaden ginkgo]

if I do the Binding Coil of Bahamut raids for the story in an unsynced party where pros carry me, how long does it take? the story cutscenes and all that

[tardy stump]

possible to change the position of the name of the free company?

[dusty shard]

why is the healer AI in GC squadron so fucking useless

she can't even heal me through 2 packs of mob

wtf

[boreal storm]

Couple hours

[dusty shard]

she even have 60% attack up

[leaden ginkgo]

all 5 turns would be a total of couple hours then?

[boreal storm]

There’s 13 turns total

[leaden ginkgo]

whaat

[willow sparrow]

is Paradigms Breach still weekly loot locked?

[leaden ginkgo]

i guess every turn is quite short then

[ruby lotus]

I'm trying to do Coil myself but I can never catch any party and the duty finder sucks for it

[boreal storm]

Unsynced they are, except turn 3

It’s literally a jump puzzle

[pallid bluff]

what's the point of getting aesthete's gathering gear?

[boreal storm]

So if you don’t know what to do

[heavy wadi]

coils is not on any roulette. so it's pointless to df it.

[fiery cairn]

Is it likely there will be an ability prune when endwalker comes?

[manic tide]

can i join an fc on another server if im on the same data center?

[umbral dune]

no

[merry bluff]

Can I ask a question about the story here?

[umbral dune]

has to be on the same world

[boreal storm]

It’d be better to go to one of the spoiler threads depending on the question

[pale vessel]

Can you unlock the Dwarves tribe quests before you get into patch 5.3 ? I already did the 5.0 Ronitt quests

[warm snow]

I believe so

[cinder mortar]

what level is potd good until?

[warm snow]

60

[twilit current]

guys, i remember reading somewhere regarding a dev stream on friday, anyone knows what it is about and where i can watch it?

[full pendant]

Im thinking of getting in to ffxiv, but how does the subscription work? What limits me if i dont pay for subscription? Can I just buy the base game and play the dlc without the subscription? Is the subscription optional like in ESO? Does the subscription give me access to the dlcs and gets cut off access when subscription runs out?

[leaden ginkgo]

How do you get the Shire Pankratiast ring with Poetics?? I found the Augmented version sold but I can't seem to be able to find the base one

[heavy wadi]

it's only augmented now

just use it, it doesn't matter it will work.

[faint flare]

You literally can't log in if you don't sub after buying

[lone drift]

is there any DNC players that struggles with this quest too? -> "A Soirée in the Sultanate"

[leaden ginkgo]

But I can't claim it, I need the base one to get that. Or I'm looking in the wrong place?

[heavy wadi]

wrong place.

[faint flare]

Augmented works for Fashion report

They're literally the same

[leaden ginkgo]

Uhm, where's the place to buy that one with Poetics then? 😅

[faint flare]

You physically can't get the unaugmented version anymore

Idyllshire or ishgard sundry splendors

[lunar nexus]

• Free trial to level 60 (end of Heavensward), ends when you buy
• Subscription required to play at all after you buy
• Subscription does not offer you access to the latest expansion, that’s a separate purchase ($40~ one time payment)

[young pendant]

HELP WITH THIS

[pine oriole]

heyho, guys if I have the exp buff till level 70

if I hit 70 on a job do I lose the buff?

so I should use the buff on alts before that?

[old fable]

question on buying a house. Whenever a plot is available, is the timer random and unknown to players?

[faint flare]

Yes

Completely random and completely invisible

[faint flare]

No, it's hidden until you swap jobs

[lunar nexus]

It won’t be active on characters above 70 but will reappear when you switch to a job below 70

@faint flare cheating over here because I’m answering on a phone 😠

[pine oriole]

thank you! :3

[faint flare]

I'm on mobile to

[old fable]

so the only way to really get a house is to stand in front and keep clicking and hope the random timer is up?

[lunar nexus]

shit

[faint flare]

Always have been

[lunar nexus]

he got me

[faint flare]

Yep

[lunar nexus]

yeah

[faint flare]

Have fun camping

Bring the tent

[lunar nexus]

Kinda funny how you have to basically live in the property prior to owning it to actually buy it

but yeah

[full pendant]

So when I buy base game the free trial isnt a time trial but a level trial?

[faint flare]

The Base game ISNT the trial

The Base game gives you 30 days sub time

Once that's up you can't log in

[tight salmon]

What's the easiest way to get Shards? I don't have any Water Shards left to craft with

[faint flare]

The Base game caps you at lv60 and has arr and heavensward in it, like the trial

[old fable]

@tight salmon i stick to Marketboard, but you can set Retainer or Harvest

[warm snow]

The free trial is pretty much EVERYTHING in the base game with no social features

[zealous pumice]

So I just bought some stuff from the mogstation (fantasia and some emotes) and its not arrived yet, should I just wait a day or so? Also, I just changed my characters name after the purchase, would this have interfered with things?

[wintry chasm]

The first 4(?) class quests for the crafters give a lot of shards, otherwise marketboard or gardening if you have access to a house is good. Some other methods too like reducing items as a gatherer

[lunar nexus]

Can take a few hours to arrive

[warm snow]

You were told to allow up to a few days. It almost definitely won't come to that but still

Servers are still on fire

[zealous pumice]

So I the name thing shouldnt have caused an issue with the purchase right?

[lunar nexus]

Shouldn’t

[warm snow]

No

If you still don't get them in a day or two contact support

But at least wait a day

[zealous pumice]

Thank you, guess Ill just have to wait a bit to become a catgirl :sadge

[warm snow]

Could just finish arr and get your free fantasia...

Bunny Boi juice is on sale atm so mogstation probably busy

[slate arrow]

based on my armchair knowledge, the purchase servers and the login servers are the exact same

[zealous pumice]

I did it before and became catboy, but I changed my mind (also I dont like the male miqote run animation).

[slate arrow]

right now, they're prioritizing logins over purchase delivery

[weary jungle]

where do i buy better rings and such? (im lvl 50, got told that's when you could get something actually worth buying)

[warm snow]

It is peak hours

[warm snow]

Poetics vendors

[slate arrow]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[undone current]

Augmented ironworks stuff

[warm snow]

You won't have access or need better gear than what poetics gives you til level x5 of the next expansion

[undone current]

You can also find fairly cheap crafted jewelry on the marketboard

Since you want to buy jewelry last

[cosmic abyss]

is there a website with up to date info on class rotations from 1-80?

[faint flare]

Weskalber has levelling rotations for all jobs on YouTube

[floral snow]

Is there a way to check how many cumulative fashion report points I've received?

[faint flare]

Nope

[floral snow]

tragic

[warm snow]

Websites will only really track the current level cap rotation/opener

[cosmic abyss]

do the videos also give info from 1-80 or only 80

[warm snow]

1-80

[faint flare]

levelling rotations

[cosmic abyss]

ok nice ty

[slate arrow]

also when EW comes out you're throwing a few buttons out the window anyways

[trail prairie]

can you no longer get collectable Chysahl Greens?

[slate arrow]

so you're going to be learning from scratch like the rest of us

[slate arrow]

correct

[uneven dune]

Is there anything I can buy with company seals that sells well on the MB?

[slate arrow]

FC workshop stuff, but that's also niche

[trail prairie]

so you can no longer turn in collectables for rowena house of splendors?

[slate arrow]

no, collectibles are now specific Rarefied items

[trail prairie]

rip those achievements then i guess

[lunar nexus]

Worst case scenario glamour prisms and dispellers will sell for 200-300 per so you can get a few stacks

[full pendant]

How long would it take me from new player that doesnt know anything about this game to doing higher lvl content?

[trail prairie]

is there any point then to the folklore tomes?

[slate arrow]

however long it takes for you to do the MSQ

[slate arrow]

you kinda need em to gather the level cap content materials, but its not required if you don't plan on selling/crafting endgame content gear

[white prism]

is there an item vault?

[slate arrow]

no...?

[white prism]

where you can save your items if your inventory gets full

[slate arrow]

no.

[lunar nexus]

If you mean like a bank, then retainers

[slate arrow]

keep your inventory open and don't hoard everything

[floral snow]

can you not gift mogstation items that are currently on sale?

[trail prairie]

ah, so they still unlock items, but as far as collectables go it's strictly for items that already have the little box icon, the rarefied items

[lunar nexus]

why you lying

[slate arrow]

correct, due to people abusing the sales

[tight salmon]

What is the % success chance of Squadron Missions if two stats pass the required stat check? 66%?

[slate arrow]

I assume they're looking for an automatic system

[full pendant]

Lets say i take my time reading everything about the story, howany hours would it take to get to raids, my friend is worried that its going to take a long long long time.

[floral snow]

how do you "abuse" a sale...?

[lunar nexus]

Unsure off the top of my head but there’s a calculator to help you with squadron % chance

[lunar nexus]

Use stolen CCs

[slate arrow]

I wouldn't recommend rushing this game just for the raids.

the main content is the story

raids is like a nice topping on top

[tight salmon]

Think I found it, thanks

[floral snow]

How exactly does a sale make it more likely someone will use stolen credit card information?

[full pendant]

I wouldnt dare rushing it but I just want numbers(hours)

[floral snow]

Some identity thief out there is just really concerned with saving their victim $5?

[slate arrow]

they can use the same credit card to buy more of one item, wait for the sale to end and resell it on some third party key site

[pale vessel]

Are you locked to 3 beast tribe quests per day on all tribes or you can do 3 on each one of the tribes ?

[slate arrow]

3 per day from the same tribe up to 12 total

except for some ARR tribes

[wintry chasm]

All of them really

[sullen ginkgo]

Just got to level 80, will I still receive exp?

[sleek needle]

No

[boreal storm]

Yeah, All the ARR tribes get extra quest givers as you rank up

[sleek needle]

If you don't want to waste exp I'd suggest making another job

[lunar nexus]

I think you’re misunderstanding, the issue is that people running websites where you can buy mogstation items for cheap would use stolen credit cards, and then list the items on their website. SE would lose out on money because the credit cards would be cancelled and the charges marked as fraudulent, and they wouldn’t be able to do anything besides maybe revoke the codes, and/or disable the accounts that claimed the codes resulting in “innocent” people getting banned

[sleek needle]

If you don't care for any other then it doesn't matter anyway 🤷

[leaden ginkgo]

Sorry I'm confused, I checked Ishgard but I can only get the Shire Custodian Ring, not the PAnkratiast?

[lunar nexus]

It happens more often during sales and it’s a lot of extra work so I don’t blame them

[boreal storm]

Panky is a dps ring

[sullen ginkgo]

The excess yellow bar bothers me.

Can I make it full?

[sleek needle]

That's for rested exp

[slate arrow]

that's just your rested EXP

[boreal storm]

Rested exp

[slate arrow]

it'll be full in about 2-3 days

[vapid nymph]

is there any reason i should buy standart subscription instead of regular? i dont see reason to make alts in this game?

[river vortex]

you can do every single ixal quest every day?

Not only 3?

[slate arrow]

there isn't

[slate arrow]

no, because there's like, 16 total

[river vortex]

ok, but i can take way more than 3 right

[slate arrow]

yes

[boreal storm]

3 per quest giver

Ixal has like 7 of them max

[violet grove]

Does no one do Zadnor or something?

[slate arrow]

they do

[umbral dune]

depend on stage

[boreal storm]

No

[violet grove]

Can't even do the FATEs in Zadnor because there's no one here.

[lunar nexus]

If you don’t see a reason to have an alt then buy entry, there will be no disadvantage for you

[slate arrow]

you finished the base step

not all steps have a quest for ARR

[umbral dune]

that is the first of a long long grind

[slate arrow]

!faq zeta

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named zeta exists, Kupo!

[slate arrow]

fucking

[lunar nexus]

You might’ve made a fresh instance, there’s usually a few instances going at once. Type /sea and if the instance doesn’t have a lot of people in it, exit and re-enter. Repeat until it has enough people

[azure finch]

I've just reached heavensward and it seemed to be very heavily focused on dragoons.

Should I level my dragoon and go through the expansion with it or will I be missing out by using my warrior main instead?

[violet grove]

I've been going in and out anyway.

[violet grove]

Not getting any luck.

[lunar nexus]

You won’t specifically miss out on anything besides a few lines of extra text

Nothing important for sure

[slate arrow]

you get different dialogue if you've done the level 50 Dragoon quest

otherwise w/e not any real difference

Whats a good way to level gatherer

I'm level 45 and the nodes in the diadem aren't giving me very good EXP anymore because the only ones that I have are 10 and 60

so I'm kinda stuck and I don't know what to do

Do you mean gatherer?

Because diadem is gatherer

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.

[faint flare]

Leves

[finite cedar]

Ok so I just do leves to level 60?

[frozen kernel]

wait so i cannot get new abilities untill i complete the 80 boring quests? ughh 😦

[faint flare]

Yes

That's their purpose

[rancid onyx]

have you done the msq until you enter ishgard?

[boreal storm]

Clearly they haven’t

[frozen kernel]

i havent 😄

[slate arrow]

[frozen kernel]

just completed 2.1

[finite cedar]

where are you in the msq

ah

[faint geyser]

I just learned you can customize relic novus weapons? How does that work?

[vapid nymph]

im about to preorder endwalker is there some good promo code for it available?

[lunar nexus]

no

[slate arrow]

materia. lots and lots of materia

[faint geyser]

Is there a best way to go about it?

[lunar nexus]

generally not terribly worthwhile since it’s not an endgame weapon

You’d just be throwing money away

[frozen kernel]

i guess ill just do with no fell cleave till i unlock gunbreaker 😄

[slate arrow]

use cheap materia

[faint geyser]

Ok, fine then… I’m F2P so market price cannot matter anyway

[faint flare]

Then you're suffering

Need to spiritbond alooooooooooooot of low level gear

[slate arrow]

farming t1 to t4 materia is a pain

[jade lily]

I just unlocked the ishgard restoration, what should I be doing to get Skybuilder's Scrips faster? I really want to get enough to get the Skyworker's Singlet which is 2200

[boreal storm]

Another reason to ignore ARR relic as a trial player

[faint flare]

Craft the highest level craft you can. Fishing is apparently good as well

[slate arrow]

doing level 80 crafts

[boreal storm]

Fetes give 500 a session

[faint geyser]

If I wanted to make a strong relic weapon what should I put in? For curiosity’s sake.

[jade lily]

When do those happen?

[boreal storm]

When the firmament timer says

[solemn hound]

once you get 80 crafting/gathreing, is it hard to get the glowing tools for each respective job?

[slate arrow]

which glowing tool

the achivement ones come from completing the arr/hw/stb craft/gathering log

[lunar nexus]

The one for doing all the recipes presumably

[indigo loom]

YALL I THINK I DELETED MY MAIN AND ONLY CHARACTER BY ACCIDENT I'M FREAKING THE FUCK OUT

[solemn hound]

the ishgardian restoration ones?

[indigo loom]

WHAT DO I DO

[lunar nexus]

Contact support

[slate arrow]

it's long and tedious just like any other relic

[solemn hound]

are any glowing tools not so long and tedious to acquire?

[slate arrow]

the achivement ones

[solemn hound]

what do i have to do?

[slate arrow]

but for the most part all the glowing tools are behind grinds

achivo tools are behind completing your gathering/crafting log

[finite cedar]

you want a glowing weapon its probably gonna take some time you don't just get that stuff for free 😆

[solemn hound]

these are not weapons, these are tools

i can not use these as weapons unfortunantly

i would love to use a saw with my dragoon

it does not work

[faint flare]

What you havent seen the vids of gangs of crafters beatings up a mob

[finite cedar]

yeah weapons tools. Messed up the terminology after farming for the resistance relic weapons for so long

[indigo loom]

do yo have any idea how long it usually takes to hear back from them? I'm kind of freaking out

[solemn hound]

believe me if i could bring my fishing rod into battle, i would

[faint geyser]

When I’m making a customized weapon like the novus relic for combat (dunno if there’s something like that at higher levels), what stats do I prioritize?

[slate arrow]

the cheapest one

[finite cedar]

yeah we all want to be gon

[slate arrow]

because you have to use materia

[leaden ginkgo]

iirc I can sell ironworks gear back into poetics... or was I wrong?

[faint flare]

Nope

[slate arrow]

and you have the ironworks relic you can use anyways

[faint geyser]

I SAID FOR COMBAT NOT FOR GLAM

[faint flare]

You follow your stat priority

[slate arrow]

you're not using it for combat

[faint flare]

For current relics

[faint geyser]

And I mean higher level stuff

[slate arrow]

it's not worth it

it stays at level 50

it does NOT scale up

[faint geyser]

Yeah

[faint flare]

For current relics you follow your jobs stat priority

[slate arrow]

level 60 has a different relic entirely

[boreal storm]

It’ll literally get replaced just as quickly as Ironworks

But ironworks is less of a hassle

[faint geyser]

But I’d assume there’s stuff in the future that uses a similar customization setup? I’m asking in that situation how do I go about customizing it?

[faint flare]

.

[faint geyser]

Yeah

Sorry

Didn’t mean to ignore you

[lunar nexus]

It depends on their current queue so we don’t know but I don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to restore such a recently deleted character

[solar kindle]

Is there website that shows me rotations? Wondering what my proper summoner rotation is at my lvl

[lunar nexus]

That being said you freaking out isn’t helping at all and won’t change the outcome so I heavily suggest you try to calm down

[faint flare]

Akhmorning.com for written summoner

Weskalber on YouTube for levelling rotations videos

Not what they're asking

[finite cedar]

ah

sorry

misunderstood it

[lunar nexus]

not to mention saltedxiv links to akh for caster guides

[indigo loom]

like it LITERALLY just happened, i was gonna make a second character but didnt realize my sub version only allowed for one character and it overwrote my first one, without even a warning!!

so people beware holy fuck

i'm shaking like all my work and years worth of shit is gone

[faint geyser]

What is stat priority then?

[faint flare]

Your jobs stat priority

[boreal storm]

Doesn’t matter for old relics

[faint geyser]

How do I know what that is? And yeah I know, I’m sating my curiosity.

In Heavensward ||Gentlemen quest has only one arc long? Cause in Realm Reborn the side quest was so long, we went to so many places. But in Heavensward I got the Gigi minion and I no longer see the new quest. I was worried it'll be short but I thought the fact that I didn't unlocked anything yet meant it was still going, cause the quest was blue. Blue mean something get's unlock, right? Rather that be dungeons or features. But all I got was Gigi minion which was a rewards instead. Or is the new quest somewhere else? 😅 ||

Smoked chicken

Basically everyone uses it, save for healers and tanks if they want more speed

[sleek needle]

Doesn't matter more than location of the gc and some glam

Even most tanks use chicken now wihh relics

no

whats the faq for materia/melding?

Faq melding

[frigid willow]

what to do with fully bonded items that you dont use anymore...other than storing them away

or just trash it

[lunar nexus]

Sell, desynth, donate to GC for seals

[obsidian panther]

Cool - thanks!

[faint flare]

Extract materia then do any of the above

[obsidian panther]

Desynth....need blacksmith right?

[lunar nexus]

no

[faint flare]

You need the crafter that repairs that weapon at lv30

[remote owl]

Hey guys. Newbie on FF XIV here. When do I get my 1st mount? What level?

[obsidian panther]

Thanks @faint flare & @lunar nexus I will google the rest

[wintry chasm]

!faq mount

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[wintry chasm]

@remote owl

[hazy estuary]

Is the Fenrir bike mount extra speed (without maps) noticeable?

[true basin]

I recently started playing again after taking a long break. First time I played it was off and on. While leveling and going through the MSQ is it good to take the time to do all the dailys before doing the MSQ for the day?

[lunar nexus]

yes

[obsidian panther]

I do the Starred Dailies usually

[lunar nexus]

If the dailies are important to something you’re working towards then yes. I heavily recommend you do the GC handins daily

[true basin]

Right on. I went from having maybe 30 minutes to play a few times a week to 3 - 6 hours of playtime daily if I want.

[lunar nexus]

Hands down the easiest way to passively level a crafter

[obsidian panther]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Daily_and_Weekly_Checklist

this is what a friend sent and what I concentrate on

[true basin]

That was about to be my next question

[obsidian panther]

I do GC/Duty and will be adding hunts to it soon

[dim marsh]

is leveling roulette the only roulette that scales EXP with level? everything else is constant?

[true basin]

I think I am just about to the point of joining a GC. lvl 17 in the MSQ, but level 26 overall.

Playing a pugilist.

[obsidian panther]

yeah - just keep pushing - you'll get there soon!

[minor pecan]

What are glamour

[obsidian panther]

as someone who just got off ARR and I'm halfway through HW- Later ARR and Prepatch to HW is EXTREMELY grindy - but 1000% worth it - so just keep going and take breaks when you can - the content isnt going ANYWHERE

[indigo loom]

glamour is the system used to make pieces of armor or weapons look like other ones. glamour prisms are used to do this

[minor pecan]

So like let’s say I have a high level head piece but

It’s ugly

I can use glamour stuff to make it look like cool headpiece but it keeps stats

[obsidian panther]

correct

[indigo loom]

yep. you can wear the ugly thing for the good stats but change its appearance without changing stats

[noble pollen]

Where do i find mch mission to gain mor abilities? Im lvl 60 and feel like I should have access to more

[indigo loom]

you can even dye something and glamour it, as long as the glamour piece you're using can be dyed ofc

[lunar nexus]

Below your MSQ indicator at the top left it’ll show another quest name

That’s for your job quests

[true basin]

I think that’s the hardest thing for me right now. I have been so used to trying to rush things that it’s almost hard for me to not auto hit skip cutscene.

[indigo loom]

your actions and traits tab will actually show you all your unlockable abilities and what level you get them at. if you dont have one you should, try msq or your job quests

[jagged holly]

where do you see your own recruitment code? the one you give someone else?

[noble pollen]

Ok thanks i didnt know that

[indigo loom]

you're welcome!

[obsidian panther]

@true basin Just read along - you miss some stuff and then forget it and get sad when you are lost - there are lots of throwbacks to story in this game - I was literally yelling at my screen at the end of 2.55 - its 1000% worth it

[leaden ginkgo]

How long will the FFXIV Store Sale last?

is PotD better for leveling up than queuing for the highest level dungeon? After doing a good few PotD, im not feeling much for a 10-15 minute grind to get half a level 😦

Is there still a max cap on desynthesis, or can you level them all to max now?

51-60 Potd

[sour ruin]

Are the Makai Moon sets available in anyway or are they part of some old pvp event? Hard to find info on them :c

[thorny hawk]

are optional items delivered immediately? cause i just purchased something and when i logged in the delivery moogle didn't have anything for me

[faint flare]

No

[sour ruin]

Account wide items usually take a few hours, single character items are usually faster but with the sale just happening today their item servers are probably clogged so it could take up to a day

[faint flare]

No, Garo is gone forever

Does it matter which server/data center u choose? A friend makin EU toon but got no idea where most hardcore raiders are

Ik we’ll eventually get to visit other DCs but ye

[heavy wadi]

it doesn't matter

[faint flare]

Only data centre matters very slight

Server doesn't

Data centre picks who you que and what servers are pulled from for stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet , any difference between Light & Chaos?

[faint flare]

Nope

[leaden ginkgo]

kk ty

Oh since it’s EU

They all got the same % of English speakers , no?

[faint flare]

Everyone is majority English

Moogle is unofficially French, shiva is unofficially German

That's it

Just makin sure cause like other MMOs would have servers that don’t speak English as much

Is your eternal ceremony reviewable via unending journey?

[boreal storm]

No?

[open rivet]

I just wanted to buy a buddy a fantasia (like I do almost very other month cuz they're an addict lmao)
but the gift button has dissapeared for fantas only?

when was this changed?

[faint flare]

Just now. Any sale items can't be gifted

See lodestone for details

[open rivet]

oof

kk will have to wait until sale is over I guess

[boreal storm]

TLDR: some people did a bad now no one can do things

[open rivet]

weird for them to address sales dumping but not GBP -> USD dumping

the largest pack is a $10 difference from GBP to USD price
(25 GBP vs. 45 USD -> 25 GBP translate to about 35 USD, so even if you pay conversion tax you save stupid money buying in GBP)

so people could do that w/o sales anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

How long from Coeurls Chase Boys until Coeurls Chase Boys Chase Coeurls?

[tidal gull]

I don't think anyone knew last time I asked, so I'll ask again (don't hit me, please):
Is there a cap on desynthesis anymore, or can you level all of them to max now?

[heavy wadi]

there's no cap.

[patent citrus]

this is why we can't have nice things

[tidal gull]

Cheers.

[cinder mortar]

how do you know if your dps is on par with standard players? Basically, i want to know if im the weakest link

[heavy wadi]

could use a dps meter

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[left bridge]

Doing the level 20 goldsmith quest where I have to use materia - should I just buy some low level gear and fight mobs until I'm spirit bonded with the armor?

[cinder mortar]

thanks, my brother said there is some in-game trial or something you can do to see if you are on par

[glad robin]

Where is the wandering stairs in crystarium?

[faint flare]

Near the inn

It's the bar

So use the aetheryte to port to the pendant

[leaden ginkgo]

It only allows me to buy one 520 Ring with Revelation Tomestones, so the other must be a 510 with the other lower tier tomestones? I can't have 2 520 rings?

[glad robin]

Ohhh

I did and I see the bar but no npc there looks like the one I need?

It’s the big circular bar?

[weak vortex]

hello, finally after 300 hours and messing around with lvling multiple jobs I finished the MSQ, is there a guide/site to look into for info on endgame/what to do after MSQ?

[open rivet]

Unlock Stone Sky Sea, The Circle of Answering or the Lawns (depending on your level range), there you can do a time trial against a dummy w/ HP scaled to the relevant bosses.

[cinder mortar]

ah nice

[glad robin]

Nvm got it

[sleek needle]

^just take into consideration its not a very good measurement, but still gives you some idea

[agile laurel]

obligatory

!faq sss

[zinc orbit]

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS

1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk

[agile laurel]

stone sky sea is better than nothing but it also isn't very good

[hot eagle]

augment 1 ring to 530 and you can get another 520

[leaden ginkgo]

Ha, makes sense! THanks!

[proud seal]

how do i get high quality stormblood food?

[hot eagle]

when endwalker releases they will probably remove unique from the rings again

[hot eagle]

craft it or buy from the marketboard

[proud seal]

i only see 8% ones though

[tidal gull]

I haven't gotten that far yet, so maybe it'll be explained when I unlock it, but for miners, isn't Dredge (level 58) just a much worse version of Unearth I (level 15)?

100 GP for +10% HQ on one hit or 100 GP for +10% HQ on all hits? D:

[primal gull]

They stack iirc

[willow sandal]

What is the best way to grind xp for msq? spam fates?

[primal gull]

So you can use both and get +20% HQ on the next hit

[heavy wadi]

do your highest level dungeon

[willow sandal]

what levels of potd are best to do? And how much aether gear do you need to do that level

[willow sandal]

My roulette shows lvl 16, is that normal? I am 46

[primal gull]

Yes, that's normal

16 is the level required to do that roulette

[jagged holly]

is there a way too upgrade the graphics of ff14? i have all the settings on max but unsure if i can icnrease them more somehow

[hot eagle]

yes leveling roulette throws you in 1 of the leveling dungeons you have unlocked and exp scales with the difference of your lvl and that of the duty

[sleek needle]

1-10 or 51-60

[cinder mortar]

how much gear do you need to do the 51-60?

[jagged holly]

50 has a small wall i think 13?

or 23 cant remember

[willow sandal]

guess I should unlock a new dungeon, thanks

[sleek needle]

Dunno bout aether gear, prolly what you'd unlock from first reaching 50?

[pale sphinx]

hey chat
does anyone know what this lv25 recipe item is good for? looks special

[jagged holly]

you should ahve it isntantly when reahing it
But if you dont use the second save and lvl it up a bit

[jagged holly]

true love ❤️

i think

[sleek needle]

Looks like it

[jagged holly]

jep true love. is needed for the marriage

[pale sphinx]

wow

so cool, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

So what does fishing give you besides fish?

[zealous flower]

what's the point of retainer jobs? like going from gladiator to paladin

[jagged holly]

fishing rods 🤔

[sleek needle]

Yup

[leaden ginkgo]

Better gear that’s locked behind the presitge job

[faint flare]

Allowing use of job specific skills

Which is only the job gwar from queats

[pale sphinx]

thank you

[faint flare]

They don't need to be upgraded

[zealous flower]

oh right so it's just to meet the later ilvl requirements i guess?

[leaden ginkgo]

Like, is fishing just side content with the gathering tag on it?

[faint flare]

No

All normal gear can be used by the class version

It's only to use the specific job gear

[jagged holly]

i actually dont know
i would assume fish are used by the cooking class

[sleek needle]

All gatherers are optional

[faint flare]

Your i530 set is equippable by classes

[leaden ginkgo]

I’ve leveled bot and miner to 50 and am curious as to whether or not lvling fishing is worth it

[sleek needle]

Fish are mostly for cul/desynth

[zealous flower]

so it's actually basically pointless to go PLD?

[jaunty flame]

Does the msq quests give enough exp for the chocobo?

[deep oak]

It’s mainly just fun and relaxing if you enjoy t.

[zealous flower]

unless you want to like glam your retainer in a specific way

[faint flare]

Basically

[leaden ginkgo]

Oof

[jagged holly]

you mean your companion? or do you mean your own character lvl?

[jaunty flame]

yeah companion

[faint flare]

The job upgrade for retainers do allow you to swap it to expansion jobs

[jagged holly]

companion doesnt gain any xp from msq

[gritty oracle]

Is there anything stopping me from spamming the free marriage plan (every week) for the magicked prisms, and then immediately divorcing?

[faint flare]

So you can go gld to DRK

[jaunty flame]

just if i do my msq and let him outside

[leaden ginkgo]

But yeah, the prestige jobs increase the amount of gear retainers can equip to hit the numbers needed

[jaunty flame]

so i dont have to farm

[boreal storm]

Probably not

[jagged holly]

like comapnion is very optional and very hard too lvl up(also not worth toog rind too lvl up)

[boreal storm]

You’d still have to get the other 10 lvls

[jagged holly]

jsut use him when you can

[leaden ginkgo]

The Venture Book is pricey so buy ventures with seals if you want it

[jaunty flame]

ok thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

And you only need one assuming that you have just one hunting retainer

So it’s a one-tine investment

[sharp tapir]

this means I got to have a level 61 leather worker right

[jagged holly]

if i ahve 2 retainers
what jobs should they be?
1 fighting job and 1 collector job?

[sharp tapir]

in order to make it

[jaunty flame]

and i just saw this tower of dead does it use it own gear and presetting? or do i have to max lvl my chara

[leaden ginkgo]

That said, you don’t need prestige class gear to hit the item lvl requirements

[boreal storm]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

That’s what I did

[sharp tapir]

oh

[willow sandal]

should I restart this?

[primal gull]

Why would you

[sharp tapir]

no reason to restart

[boreal storm]

You can craft recipes 5 lvls above

[willow sandal]

nvm it started

[jagged holly]

lol

2 minute wait time

literally hellXD

[sharp tapir]

so I have to be 56

ai thanks

[willow sandal]

well it failed to load the info so I assumed somethinf was wrong

[primal gull]

Yes but it might be hard to craft that with level 56 gear

[boreal storm]

Whether you have the stats is another thing entirely

[sharp tapir]

ai ai thanks

Imma just buy it then lol

Does Zadnnor spawn CEs less often than Bozja?

[faint flare]

No, people just are lazy and don't actively spawn them

People actively cluster farm in bojza which spawns CEs

[hot eagle]

not rly, but some need skirmish to be done or killing a type of mob

[faint flare]

People in Zadnor are just lazy

[rancid gull]

yea, it was two people from exodus and they even wrote shit like "cya around"

[faint flare]

All CEs spawn by killing specific magitek mobs

[rancid gull]

do you think if I double report they'll do anything?

[hot eagle]

same like eureka were it take ages to spawn nm when so many afk in camp

[faint flare]

No auto spawning skirmish spawns CEs

[violet grove]

That's a shame. Guess I'll have to do raid fights for the resistance materials then.

[faint flare]

Pull magitek mobs into skirmishes to help spawn them

To passively do it

when do i get a mount?

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[solid basin]

Can I use trust system again right after completing the dungeon? like right after the msq for a lv73 dungeon is completed, can I use the trust system again right afterwards?

[left bridge]

I'm doing the Level 25 Goldsmith role quest and I need silver ore - what is the best way to get silver ore?

[upbeat shard]

ty

but i cant open my mount summary

only my Chocobo, but i cant summon him

[faint flare]

Use the whistle you were given

Then it's registered

In your mount guide

[upbeat shard]

ah ty, im dumb xD

[unkempt hull]

can I setup my controller ui on my pc?

[faint flare]

Yes

Just plug it in and hit the switch on character configuration to go to controller mode

[tidal gull]

Buy on the market or mine it.

[queen fern]

You can mine it outside Buscarron's Stacks in the South Shroud.

[left bridge]

Damn so I gotta start the mining role then I guess

[queen fern]

Head directly west from Quarrymill.

[upbeat shard]

Is it recommended to quest with my Chocobo, because he can fight

[queen fern]

If you don't have miner leveled up, buy it off the market board.

[left bridge]

I'm on the trial so I can't use the market board unfortunately lol

[unkempt hull]

No, I mean like can I configure my UI while playing on my pc with m&kb, then switch to my ps5 and be able to load that controller ui (separate from my m& kb ui)

[left bridge]

Let the mining begin

[wintry chasm]

It does speed things up and is helpful all round so yeah

[faint flare]

Yes..you upload your settings when you're done on the character selection screen

[snow zephyr]

i couldn't get help from reddit, so i think this is the right place to ask?

[faint flare]

Then download on console

[dim beacon]

Hi! This is more of a website related question rather than a game one, but I just purchased a membership two days ago and can't login to the forums. It says that my login wasn't registered or something?

[faint flare]

You can't use steam if you brought from not steam

[plush quartz]

If you relocate do you keep your airships and submarines

[snow zephyr]

Oh, how would i renew my subscription on steam? since i bought it a long time ago for a month but didnt renew

[faint flare]

Mogstation

Everything is done via mogstation

For everyone

[snow zephyr]

Then i think i did that

[faint flare]

If you brought the game not on steam you PHYSICALLY can't use steam

At all

Not in any capacity

[snow zephyr]

i launched the game via steam, clicked the account icon in the top right

[faint flare]

Which is giving you the error

[snow zephyr]

and logged in, and bought the standard edition

[faint flare]

Go onto your mogstation

[snow zephyr]

okay

[faint flare]

And screenshot the account type

[faint flare]

You're not steam

You can't launch via steam

[snow zephyr]

wait, so did i buy it on the wrong account then?

[rancid gull]

are you allowed to reply to someone ingame and tell them they've been reported?

or is that punishable

[faint flare]

You brought the windows edition not the steam edition

They're two different things

[dim beacon]

I've logged into the game in the last two days and have purchased a membership, but it still doesn't seem to register my login. Is this normal?

[snow zephyr]

so do i download a windows version?

[faint flare]

Yes

!faq download

[zinc orbit]

Download FFXIV

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[faint flare]

You can't launch via steam

Gotta use the above launcher here

[snow zephyr]

oki, ty^^

[rancid gull]

is it a punishable offense to tell someone they're reported

[snow zephyr]

don't see why it would be

[deep oak]

I’d imagine not. But you run the risk of being toxic yourself. I’d recommend report, block and move on.

[jagged holly]

yeah from my experience when someone tells you that he reported you its in a toxic way.
so jsut stay silent and go on

[heavy wadi]

[frigid bridge]

Could any dancer players send me ss of their hotbar please?

[indigo loom]

https://tenor.com/view/touching-grass-touch-gif-21219969

[snow zephyr]

Hey, how can i find where i downloaded final fantasy on steam

[indigo loom]

ur missing out, queer folx make great friends

[wet grotto]

Should be in your library

Where your other games are

[snow zephyr]

seems like thats just the launcher

[wet grotto]

You launch the game through a launcher

[indigo loom]

are u looking for the game files?

[snow zephyr]

ya

[wet grotto]

Ah

[indigo loom]

ohhhh

lol

[snow zephyr]

yeah but i dont have the steam version, since i accidentally bought the other version, im trying to transfer the steam files so i dont need to redownload

[wet grotto]

You can't do that

By other version do you mean the windows version?

[snow zephyr]

ye

[heavy wadi]

mmmk @obsidian wren

[indigo loom]

yeah u gotta redownload homie

[wheat pulsar]

So ARR is 50 levels of story for MQS, while each expansion after is 10..Is there a lot more filler when get max level of the dlc, is levelling far harder, or are there more quests per-level?

[wet grotto]

Yeah, no i don't think you can do that

[reef gate]

TLDR; Filipino guy needs help getting into the game

Any filipinos playing ffxiv? I need help getting into the game, is our country region blocked or smth? And is there in any way to play ffxiv in our country? All my mates from who are mostly NA started playing recently and chose this datacenter to play and I'm left out trying to figure out how I can actually join the game but since I'm the only filipino in our group, i'm left with googling stuff but all my search results show up to be from 2017 or older and all of the ones I tried didnt work, im thinking a vpn would allow me to play but I dont wanna spend money on a vpn and find out that I still cant play

[sleek matrix]

Hey guys, the gear I got on right now is from arr questing and its IL 110, im about to start 2.55 and move on to heavensward after and I wanna ask if its still worth to buy the augmented ironworks gear from rowena's, its at IL 130

[obsidian wren]

[heavy wadi]

can you ban the transphobe, please

[sleek matrix]

bros i dont think this is the place for that

[zinc orbit]

Ban Issued for Adamus#7504

@weak vault has been banned by Sophie#0003 for the following reason:

transphobia, please don't tell people they don't exist

[indigo loom]

LOL

[sleek matrix]

u.u

[primal gull]

Each expansion storyline is around 100 quests long and each expansion has a post-launch storyline that continues the story from the expansion/sets up for the next expansion, usually around 50 more quests

[indigo loom]

@heavy wadi im ur friend now

[frozen cove]

anybody know if theres a way to make this menu smaller without messing up my whole ui?

[indigo loom]

like physically smaller or more compact

cuz im p sure u can just shrink it

[frozen cove]

uhhh both i guess?

i cant for the life of me figure out anything for it

[primal gull]

yeah you can shrink the menu itself on its own

[indigo loom]

might be a lil harder to read but ye

[primal gull]

Go into hud layout and click on it, you should be able to set the size of that ui element

[frozen cove]

how do you do that?

[indigo loom]

like this ^^

[primal gull]

idk if making it smaller will make the menus that pop up from it smaller too but worth a shot

[frozen cove]

yeah but that doesnt make the menu that pops up smaller, it only makes the buttons smaller :(

[primal gull]

ah yeah

[indigo loom]

maybe there's a text size setting?

[frozen cove]

im just trying to figure out how to make that menu itself smaller

[indigo loom]

any reason why? they're usually tucked and out of the way

[frozen cove]

im trying to figure it out for a friend, they accidentally messed with their ui and they fixed everything but that menu specifically is big

[indigo loom]

can u just reset the hud to default and start from there

it sounds like there's a setting for it and u tweaked it but just cant find it lol

[primal gull]

there's a button to make the currently focused UI element larger, I think it's Home?

[willow sandal]

Are trials better or worse XP than dungeons?

[indigo loom]

i would guess worse bc they're shorter

but dont quote me

[primal gull]

Trials don't give XP outside of roulettes iirc

[willow sandal]

what about xp/minute

[faint flare]

Trials are terrible

Without roulette bonus

[ruby island]

When are Aether servers going to open back up?

[primal gull]

Nobody knows

[ruby island]

All my friends are coming over from wow and cannot join my server

so stupid

[primal gull]

Not for a while probably

[faint flare]

Probably not until after endwalker

Waaaaaaaay too many players

And endwalker will bring back more

You haven't seen the real ques yet

[primal gull]

World visit has been broken on Aether for like a month

3 hours to visit another world during prime time

Because of all the players

[ruby island]

they need to give free transfers for new ppl wanting to be on those servers when they reopen ;-;

[faint flare]

They wont

[heavy wadi]

they won't

[primal gull]

They are giving free transfers off Aether iirc

[heavy wadi]

aether is the most populated NA dc

[ruby island]

are they?

[faint flare]

To crystal

[ruby island]

good riddance

[faint flare]

Only aether to crystal

Is it free

Congested to preferred is a free transfer

[primal gull]

Yeah, and all of crystal is preferred right now iirc

[ruby island]

quite annoying

[solid fog]

Why in the world is there a cooldown on vote dismiss ?

[boreal storm]

To not spam it

[indigo loom]

like if someone wants to leave really bad and just keeps trolling with spam until ppl agree to go thru with it

[fleet ember]

when the new discounts run out?

or how to see it

[hot eagle]

check the lodestone post

[solid fog]

Not the cooldown on a failed vote

I have a 4 hour cooldown on a successful vote

[cinder mortar]

that feeling when you spend 20 minutes doing 31-40 PotD and fail on boss due to all of us ignorance of mechanics :**(

[indigo loom]

same deal maybe

to keep folks from jumping duties

[fleet ember]

ty i dont use lodestone but now i discover there are something usefull there

[faint flare]

It's the news site

[boreal storm]

#lodestone-news-na

Look at it

[gloomy bridge]

How long does it take for some costume sets to come in from the cash shop after purchasing?

(I also hit the button thingy on the delivery moogle)

[faint flare]

[zenith plaza]

Hello! Are gift codes not available for all mog station items? I don't see the "gift item" button for a lot of the items, is there some kind of pattern to know what can be gifted and which cannot? Thanks!

[faint flare]

Sale items can't be gifted anymore

[willow sparrow]

[zenith plaza]

Oh crap -_-
Thank you for the quick reply!

[vagrant crescent]

When I right click and click try on I can see what the gears would look like if I equip. Then I can zoom in and out, but that's all I can do. After I zoom in, it only zooms in toward the middle. Is there a way to have a closer look at the face and feet instead?

[faint flare]

Click and drag

[vagrant crescent]

Oh ok. Thank you :D

[reef gate]

Uhm can I repost my question from earlier? It felt like it got ignored

TLDR; im based in the philippines but I cant acess the game, am I region blocked?

Any filipinos playing ffxiv? I need help getting into the game, is our country region blocked or smth? And is there in any way to play ffxiv in our country? All my mates from who are mostly NA started playing recently and chose this datacenter to play and I'm left out trying to figure out how I can actually join the game but since I'm the only filipino in our group, i'm left with googling stuff but all my search results show up to be from 2017 or older and all of the ones I tried didnt work, im thinking a vpn would allow me to play but I dont wanna spend money on a vpn and find out that I still cant play

[slate arrow]

I believe you'd need to make an EU mogstation account

As you'd fit under EU and other regions

I think?

god dammit SE

[hardy hatch]

does anyone use the price check plugin?

[solar kindle]

I’ve got a guy who lives in Vietnam in my FC on Primal. I’m not sure a person outside the US has to use an EU server. Correct me if I’m wrong

[slate arrow]

I'm talking about their SE account

[solar kindle]

Ohhh my bad

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh wait so US accounts can’t play on EU?

[idle flax]

Yeah you have to rego for an eu account on se but you can play on any data center on it

[leaden ginkgo]

Or like will they have some restrictions

[hasty sand]

Which is the fastest level 70 dungeon. Im 6 emotions away from finishing my relic but I really dont want to wait for Dal right now

[reef gate]

So uhh, register a square enix account under EU? This should allow me to play atleast the free trial first, right?

[idle flax]

Se account region doesn't seem to matter other than for currency used to pay afaik

Yea

[cobalt girder]

could someone tell me what the setting is or how machinst can run forward and shoot behind them without having to turn and face the target?

[heavy wadi]

hells' lid

[leaden ginkgo]

pc or console?

[faint flare]

Legacy

[cobalt girder]

pc

[faint flare]

Turn on legacy camera

You'll still turn but immediately continue running in the direction held and not the newly faced direction

[alpine shadow]

there is 0 region lock, except in china.
only codes are region locked per account region

[cobalt girder]

ty

hmm yeah its not doing it

i saw it in the guys videos who does the POTD guides

he just keeps running and never turns ever and does his whole rotation

idk who

[potent lava]

Is there a visual guide for the animus part of zodiac that splits activities by zone?

[heavy wadi]

it's legacy camera

[cobalt girder]

i turned it on

[faint flare]

Just keep the button held while pressing keys

[heavy wadi]

[faint flare]

Legacy moves you based on camera and not character facing

[reef gate]

Cool, thanks for the assist, i'll try making an account again after im done with work, hopefully this time around I can start playing

[hollow aurora]
