im currently level 25 at eureka pagos, does that mean I can not join the NMs at the upper map?
Anyone knows if theres a good fishing guide out there? like where to fish, which bait, etc to complete the fishing log?
You might be able to attune to the aetheryte in the northwest corner, not sure about the northeast corner
just play it careful on getting there if you're solo
Correct. The weapons with stats are barebones level 50 stuff that's i50
basically the worst a level 50 weapon can be
yea thats what im worried about
can i recast glamour on an equipment more than once?
wait so i dont get to wear a bunny costume in a battle?
yes, but the glamour you apply overwrites the previous one
has tons of fishing info
with glamouring you can
so if i upgrade my gear im wearing, i can recast my glamour on my upgraded gear? So I don't have to buy a new costume?
oh so i get the bunny costime
glamour doesn't consume the item you used for the looks
even if it has bad stats?
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
I've set up additional hotbars on my screen, but unlike my 3 "main" ones, the spell on it don't change when I switch job, any clue why ?
Character config > hotbar settings > share
lets you decide which hotbars are job-specific or not
so if i buy these horns
and glamour them
ill be able to wear it without the stats?
you'll be able to wear normal gear with the looks of the horns
Thanks!
how tho
If I wanna go through a dungeon/trial again for glamour fast will unsynced allow drops still?
you can't use it since you're not "wearing" a head piece
since the head slot is being used up by your chestpiece
ohh
yes
what if i buy normal chest piece
bet, thanks ๐
for combo gear like that, you can only glamour the slot the item exists on
once you get an actual head piece, then yes
i see
glamour doesnt change consume the item right?
I'm doing the Lvl 53 Botanist quest "Onions of Life Bestowing" it asks for 10 HQ Cyclops onion however on all the nodes it's listed as 0% HQ. Not sure what doing wrong here?
get better gear you dont have enough perception
u gotta use ur skills to make the HQ go up
I see
... i guess thats pretty important too
I was just holding off on getting better gear to just get the crafting scrips ones
But now that i can get them ill just focus on them then
Thanks!
Most hq skills do nothing when your hq chance is 0%.he needs better gear

!skill leaf turn
With weapon contest designs how do they get added to the game? Like do they show up on a vendor or do they become special event gear etc?
varies
Healer contest gear was Skalla dungeon set
Tank contest gear was Lost Allagan tomestone set
Caster contest gear was Swallow's Compass dungeon set
Melee contest gear was the SHB pvp set
melee had it rough
That explains why lost allagan tank gear showed up in the last mog tome event
It's the first time they've done weapons so it's probably pure speculation. But seeing as we haven't gotten any new pvp weapons, it may be the new pvp glam gear next expansion
oh no
maybe gold saucer or a dungeon set
i doubt it'd be ranked pvp
just normal pvp vendor gear like the melee set
not ranked I mean wolf marks
if it was
yeah
So anyways not gonna be some time locked bs like ranked pvp armor sets
probably not based on the previous sets
Well probably not
what is the suggested level before going to pagos? im 25 but somehow not enough NM running around at the southern area of the map
unless you want to count a tomestone set as time locked ๐
I wouldn't
Are there any 60 Battlecraft leves?
dumb question... but how do you get to the parrock?
Flight
oh
should be the northwest corner of the sea of clouds
Sea of clouds
a little bell, i think
yeah that you need to unlock flying
Flight is mandatory for a lot of side content
this one?
yep
yes you need flight
where that northwesternmost pin is
nice, found it
How bad it's the warrior cone aoe in dungeons compared to the other tanks?
so the 10-allowance leves give less reward than 10 leves of the same level? or my calculation wrong
yes
they're only good if you're short on time/materials
Itโs not bad but it definitely takes a bit more thought to your positioning.
i really only notice the cleave if there's multiple large enemies
where it makes targeting troublesome
Going from the circle aoe to the cone is definitely an adjustment.
sooo i'm a returning player and i noticed that the cross class skills are gone, or am i just to stupid to find them? ๐
Theyโre gone.
Replaced by role skills.
Thank you very much ๐
I see, I was deciding between warrior and paladin that cone aoe was the only thing that worried me in war
Itโs not that bad, really. You just have to approach your pulls a bit differently.
Alright thanks
Let's be fair, they became increasingly unfeasible as time has progressed
i am not saying wether it's better or worse, just asked wether i was to stupid to spott them ๐
if i reset my retainer's class, that exp is gone forever, i can't switch back to that class later to use it?
Nope
You can swap it to any class you want but it will start at level 1 again regardless.
Retainers are weaker than we almighty adventurers who can switch freely
...or we beat them round the head too hard to make them switch classes
so is there still a reason to multi-class on my character other than: because i can?
Not really no.
You donโt need to level specific things for certain abilities or unlock jobs anymore.
somewhat regretting making one of my two retainers a fisher, botanist/mining for those unspoiled resource expeditions would be much more useful
But I still like having certain jobs available for certain levels of content.
i will probably still level all classes on the char ๐
true but you can always just respec them
can some1 plz explain how monk chakra system work
For example, current relic involves farming HW fates. Red mage is amazingly efficient at that. Another step is level 70 dungeons, I prefer healer for that for shorter queues. Etc.
do I have to manually charge them with meditation ?
also depends on the expansion, there are cases where fishing is useful
yes but no
isn't that kinda shit since u lose dps
she's already level 51... gonna take ages to relevel and by the time i reach 'my' current level, i'll no longer need those mats
at first yes, but you only want to do so when you can't hit the enemy
later on you get traits to generate chakra stacks from critical hits
Between pulls yes but eventually you get a proc that adds chakra stacks with crits.
oh i see
!trait deep meditation
i guess that mechanic is over lvl 60 ?
!trait deep meditation II
well thats sad
i doesn't take that long really, as long as you're doing them often
outdated numbers, should be 80% for the first one and 100% for the second one.
I mean not really. Itโs a cool ability and all but not being able to use it consistently early on wonโt suddenly mean your overall damage is bad.
are fishes used for something in the later expansions? or is it always just a little bit of food recipes, a little bit of alchemy
okay then what is more useful, botanist or mining retainer
you can't really.
considering i level all crafting profs
you need both physical and magical damage
can my chocobo break it
if you're 80 then maybe
I would say botany if you are doing a lot of culinarian and alchemy
fishing is useful for the rare times that a lot of a fish are required
but those times are rare
You can put them in aquariums and turn them in to posters. Yes really. 
but very useful when its needed
if you intend to mass craft food/pots, botany is extremely useful
damn, really hard to decide whether to change the job
food/pots sell well for raiding i presume?
as of now there is is nothing much that my fisher retainer brings me
even the crab for chili crab is like 1 per venture
Hi, im not exactly sure if this is the correct place to ask this. Is there any place where i can make a direct complain about not receiving my password generating email except for the SE support centre? NA support centre is fast to reply me but after 1 week of tickets (yes i submitted alot lol) i still cant get in touch with any of the EU SE agent. I hope somebody knows if theres alternative to this problem..Thanks
yeah, i'll swap her over to botanist then, fishing just has... lots of useless fish
check your spam folder
They do early on.
Most raiders are done with savage atm.
they still sell for a decent amount
however
you would need to make a lot to recoup the costs into endgame melded crafter gear
well even at the moment in heavensward, I noticed that to make the first two leathers for LTW, you need Coerthan Tea Leaves, which come from the unspoiled node, a botanist retainer would be mega useful here
nah its more to my email. Its not receiving any auto generate code email from bots. I can receive email from other person normally..but auto generated emails, on the other hand i received 0 since it happened. ๐ฅฒ
yea pretty much
a lot of recipes also require ala mhigan crystal salt
i have a miner for that
you gotta take that up with ur email provider

i dont think square can go and send u ur generated email from a normal adress
quick ventures are more xp/hour than field exploration, right?
thinking of buying an extra retainer and just leveling botanist/miner at the same time
a combat retainer is still very useful
that's how they get you i guess
to pay for extra stuff
Retainers are convenient but that's about it, once you're levelled up you don't rely on ventures all that much because waiting the 40-60 mins to go fetch something you could have fetched most of the stuff yourself or bought it for a fraction of the amount of gil you can make in that time
can i get all the aether current without finishing hw?
in which place
dravanian? and the first area you unlock
theres some curents hidden behind quests
Each ET hour is 3 minutes so a day is 72 minutes. Retainer will take 40-60 to bring back a handful, but you can go and do a 36 minute node cycle, sell what you don't need and buy what you do, then you'll have profited off of it, and that's not even the optimal route of spending the time crafting stuff to sell
If you have the MSQ related current for that zone you can go and get them all
but you can send your retainer to go get it and go do something else
Hey, wanted to know what's the easiest class between sam and dragoon pls ?
You can set an alarm for the node, go and do other things, then gather it when it comes up and you'll have more of the item in the same amount of time, only you won't be paying extra IRL money for additional retainers
I think dragoon is easier to optimise, but it might be different for you
Subjective
Both are easy to play
is the sale on now for mogstation a common occurrence during each rising event? I.e. fantasias and lots of items on sale. previous sales I've seen were a lot smaller in scope (been playing since last september).
I haven't seen fantasia on sale since last year
First time I've seen fantasia on sale but I wasn't really paying attention last rising
Okok i see ty
can you ever see other player's retainers?
last year, during the rising? or during a seperate time period?
Nope you cant
nope, only their name EDIT: they can get an expansion of duties permit on their estate to plant their retainer on their property, but that's up to them and not something within your control
During SE anniversary
I see, thank you.
i don't know, but maybe 'window of opportunity'?
as in, the interval of time during which something can spawn
A and S ranks have windows/timers of when they can spawn and how long they stay spawned until they despawn
for the paladin ARR relic weapon, do I need to collect 2x each crystals for both shield and sword?
sorry if i say next window in 10mins does it he will pop at 10mins?
no
It means it could be in 10 mins, but could be after, but not before
Not sure what the term means i am guessing lol
probably means 'the next interval of time during which they can spawn starts in 10 min'
Regarding titan extreme's Gaol, if we break the yellow line between healer and DPS, do we not get stoned?
Cause i still got stoned
The easy-peasy route for hunts is join an active LS/discord, then wait for someone to conduct the train
Where can I find these?
The yellow line needs to be broken otherwise they both get big defence buffs so will be harder to free the team mates before they take a lot of damage
you still get stoned
Ah...
the line is a buff for the gaol
how often do you get Retainer Fantasia from quick ventures? i only ever need one, should i just buy it from the market board or wait until i get one?
generally the strat is dps stays in the middle while healer moves to the edge
I've gotten it a handful of times, but i recommend just buying from the marketboard
they shouldn't be expensive
It's RNG, I've had one in 7 years lol
only a couple thousand or so at most
i chose a very annoying personality for one of my retainers and she gets snippy with me all the time
do not like that
some people are also into feet

can i get this on free trial? without crafting it myself
without crafting? no
Need to craft
since you can't trade or buy
yea i thought so
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Retainer/Dialogue
this page is essential for choosing your retainer personality, some of them have really naggy lines
and the ingame preview only shows you 2 of them
i chose the serious one, i get insulted every time i call her up :,(
Your fetish are showing
Hey, No kink-shaming
๐คซ
i chose Elezen/F/Independent and the preview lines were nothing unusual
but this line about Goodbye (on venture) super annoys me
Unless it is urgent, do not summon me during a venture again.
She your Boss now
I like the super enthusiastic catboy i made after the asshole bunny girl though
oh my god, au ra female independent is literally the meme tsundere anime girl
Lmao i just checked, the differnce between the races is huge
Please dont judge my furure decisions
๐
I want the aura female serious replies instead of my serious bunny girl
(polite viera calls you 'love')
Well yeah, no differences in performance, so you can choose your own harem
The personality really does not match the name for the names of them
probably a translation thing
Doubt it
I recall hearing the game is developed into english then translated into japanese and others, not sure about this though
The English and JP scripts are developed alongside each other
As koji fox, the localization lead is also on the lore and writing team
Although the JP original must've had more kawaii and JP weirdness added into flavour.
This is also a point of annoyance the devs have expressed, the idea that there's some sort of master JP script.
Would be over the top if directly translated to EN
Both are developed alongside each other, and each has their own unique references or slight alterations. Like, if you had Hauchefaunt's JP personality in EN he'd basically always be trying to get in your pants
not implying he isn't trying to in the EN version it's just toned down significantly because yknow, NA
i don't see rowena's representative on ishgard's map, am I blind? i'm level 60
no
that's why
but i can buy them in idylshire
that's the exception as idllyshire has been completed by the time you get there
Just started Heavensward and i thought he'd be the best hypeman in existance.
Everyone be like 'you our Hero, thanks btw i guess' and he'd throw a Party everytike you'd visit him. How's that changed in the JP Version?
I'm not sure on the specifics as this is all secondhand knowledge. His role is the same, though, he's still your biggest supporter and still the main reason why you can enter ishgard proper.
same but he also really wants to bone
i mean who would say no
The only other major difference I can recall off the top of my head is how Urianger speaks using Ye Olde Japanese from an era I can't recall off the top of my head. Basically, his way if speaking English, but in Japanese.
so no difference
Oh, and I've heard that the JP text tends to be more literal in it's delivery. But again, secondhand knowledge.
Someone on the translation team can probably answer this better anyways
I just find it neat
Wiki says this: "In the Japanese version, he often makes suggestive comments towards the Warrior regardless of gender. This was toned down in overseas releases due to it coming across as sexual harassment."
Hell yeah bisexuality

do all the characters generally speak that way? ye olde and formal?
Urianger is on another level but everyone else is too, relatively to us
Sort of, yes.
I mean they're gotten a bit looser as the expansions have gone on
It's just ARR again, was a rush job
Well, issa Fantasy world. Why are they obligated to speak modern english?
I don't think anyone's saying there's obligations
this is just devolving into discussion now lmao oops
I'm just asking if the english translation is as formal and ye olde as the original japanese
Sometimes they may get a bit ham-handed with Common Staple FFXIV Phrases like "is aught amiss" or "there is much and more"
they're just peppering in some "Pray ..." and "...anon" but that's about it
You'll have to ask a japanese speaker here for that, I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer that.
That being said, yes the eorzean characters do take on a more European flair to their words
But it's still normal English at the end of the day
how many off gcd abilities you can reliably fit inside one gcd? 2?
DRG has like, a bajilion, especially on an opener
Like 2.5 is perfect. Depends on your ping as well
what's sks?
feels like a pre-flight check
They usually avoid sks and aim for 2.5 gcd
Shouldn't worry about substats pre 80 however
another somewhat related question
is Jump longer than a usual off gcd ability?
you're animation locked so it feels pretty long
Yeah, kind of but not sure if it's recommend to double weave for that tbh
Better put other ogcd somewhere else
i feel like i'm clipping a GCD sometimes whenever i use jump and something else
You're correct in that, DRG you don't double weave jumps but you do for your other CD's (generally)
dont double weave jumps
i feel like Jump ability is the reason why people are memeing about DRG dying a lot
because i get caught out by enemy abilities if i use it at the wrong time
that and the backflip
if you get locked into it during an aoe yes
Whats the name of the quest for the Stormblood raids that you need to do before Bozjan please
dramatis personae
is eureka pyros much better than pagos? without choke points with the dragons and high level mobs having a congregation in the small corridors?
those are still there ..
Oh god..
but logograms make them more manageable
im kind of hating pagos now, im stuck at 25 and might just grind challenge logs until i get to 30 to do NM trains. cant do much at the souther area map
ye thatโs eureka for you
even anima and zodiac is more fun than this
I could be remembering wrong, but aren't the dragons asleep? So you can just slowly walk past them
maybe once i get to lv 60 this will be fun
yea theyre asleep and can sneak through them but there is a lv 40 mob on the choke point in the northern area
is there a way to distinguish a FATE that gives a unique reward from the one that does not? or do i just have to remember them
most of the time they're fates that start with a 30-minute timer
and they usually have an achievement for completing them
Hello! I heard from a random guy that you could buy xp potions from any grand company for seals. I couldn't find any at the quartermaster, is it available at a specific shop or did that guy lie?
how does dot skill works with buff
they snap shot buffs when they're used
ahh so buff before dot? what about skill that refreshes dot
refreshing uses current buffs active
alright thank you so much!
maybe they meant this? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Company-issue_Survival_Manual_II these are for Land and there are others for Hand jobs for sale
not quite. sounds like they were talking about Manuals that crafting and gathering classes can use for a limited amount of bonus experience earned by doing stuff.
oh I guess so. they were before talking about lvling jobs so I assumed he meant any job, but I guess not.
Will I lose out on xp if I try to do a lvl 60 MSQ as lvl 54? Feel like I lvl quite slow on my alt after 50+, and my current MSQ is the prelude(?) of Stormblood at lvl 60 currently.
you cant do 60 msq as lvl 54
not sure if I am still a bit too low lvl for it
ooh
so I have to be at least the same lvl then I guess?
you need to be msq level to turn in the quests
I see I see. thx!
hi guys, if i upgrade a melded exarchic piece to 520, will i lose the materia?
yes
like with basically all gear "upgrades" in the game, you're trading in the base piece for an augmented piece, they're two separate items
The black mage difficulty is in the positioning only ? the rotation is easy ?
is retainer voice ever used? i cant remember hearing it after selection
@sturdy mango positioning and understanding of the fight to maximise leylines and dps output so that youre not clipping / cancelling attacks or moving unnessairly
whilst making use of aetherical manipulation and between the lines - your most powerful movement abilities
otherwise, the rotation, if you could call it that, is fairly simple
is black mage rotation easier than red mage?
subjective under all accounts
Okok i see, cause i've seen a clip and he just spam fire 4 ahah
it looks brain dead to some point
@sturdy mango fire 4 is your most useful dps tool and well
the only dps tool really at level 60
until you get polygot stacks that is
despairโs a nice touch as well
people say red mage is the easiest and that is why I chose red mage, but it has loads of buttons. Like a single target rotation that involves three buttons and two procs, the multi-target 3 buttons, and then there is the phase where you melee, which is another concern
that's pretty much all jobs
try it against a dummy, see if you like it
all of them have a lot of buttons
all jobs are easy to learn, but need a brain cell to master if that makes sense
and yea, all jobs will need 3 hotbars at level 80
no healer u just need to spam 1 /j
so what makes the red mage the easiest class then compared to other classes
MCH mains vibin
@cinder mortar ive said all jobs are easy. red mage being the easiest is subjective
oh ok
it is purely down to their opinion
is it fact? no lol
the same could be said for black mage, but theres always a but
so yea
for example, i cannot for the life of me get into the rdm rotation meanwhile others have no issues. So it really is just subjective
ye
I picked up RDM fast but wasnโt a fan of melee phase and castbar
the thing is red mage starts at 50, so they are hitting you with a brick before you even start
good points thanks for the advice
yeah it is kinda subjective
I like that red mage can heal though. IT has saved the group on many occassions in PotD high levels
They're all fully mute
but DRK for example is hailed as one of the best written questlines
i heard dark knight one is okay? haven't done it yet
its good
i tuned into asmongold for a while. I think he originally went warrior but is a dark knight now?
i enjoyed WHM quite a lot
MCH and AST were also fun but i just like the ishgardian elezen npcs
i'm only just starting MCH but I like Joey
I honestly enjoy them all
Sb warrior cracks me up
And sb culinarian is personal favourite
PLD quests are honestly a bit meh
SB WHM made me sad :(
But there's plenty to do
Dnc I enjoyed a lot
Especially for the cutscene you get in the 80 quest
Lv80 gnb is probably the most nothing job quest of them all though
Ofc the role quests we got in ShB are higher quality than most job quests so looking forward to how they end up in ew.
I am not really a big fan of reading through a tonne of quests and clicking thru every cut-scene. I bought the skip for the main questline, and I am happy I did. Still have to finish off SB questline though
But I still hope we get lv90 quesrs
||ur not making friends with skipping msq her engl||
They are all side ckntent
GNB gets fun when the big cat man has to deal with his past
Although the 50-60 Sam is really fun
"fun"
Pretty much
But they still get a solid 10 level quest line
Sage and reaper will probably get the same from 70-80
Something to introduce the lore of the job and act as a tutorial
pick up DRK tho, its really fantastic
it actually gives WoL some depth
if u dont mind spoilers; ||DRK is a lot about. Inner hate, regrets and similar things. ||
are they streamlining all healers in this upcoming expansion? I thought Sage was going to be a barrier healer, but I heard they are kinda making all healers the same, are they?
Ish
They'll be splitting the healers into barrier and pure more distinctly
So scholar and ast will probably get some tweaking

Whm is already damn pure so not much to happen
I like that the healers have their own identities
See above
How are they the same?
they could make the AST into more of a big buffer class and i think that would go down well
Haven't online today tbh
Speculation is more of a topic for #general-discussion
Aether is currently congested
Reading the journal entries during the 1-50 DRK quests is a necessity, itโs pretty great later on
Just finished DRK 50. Is there a way to read the entries in Game or should i Look online?
But being congested shouldnt just disconnect me when im in the middle of doing something in game right? Or maybe im wrong, idk
is asmongold on aether? Is that why it is congested?
The complete quests tab in journal has them
Thanks
Congested server and high activity will inevitably put stress on the server possibly resulting in issues and kicks
Just one potential explanation
Got it, thanks for your answer
what can i spend gil on? i've hit the 300k cap
i mean u can buy gear but most stuff isnt that good
You can buy some items from the market which will sustain in price for long periods of time
i dont think i can buy any gear better than what i have rn with gil
And then sell them later when you need the gil back
im on free trial
Buy Ressources for crafting, Gear for some Jobs, Gear you wanna desynth
oh right
uhh why is there maintence in half an hour๐ฆ
emergency maint probably
Because something bad went down on Lich
Donโt know what
But itโs clearly something big
where is the maintaince advertised?
yeah lich is going down
do ffxiv run their own server hosting or is it outsourced?
Heya, is there any specific reason why friend from Asia cannot log into website after she made account? it keeps saying wrong id or password
make sure she is using her id and not her email address perhaps as the id? Happened to me before
hmm, ill make sure about that, so there is no weird region lock?
If I dye a glamour piece in the dresser, will it retain the dyed color if I remove it from the dresser?
Or should I take out the item, dye it then put it back in to preserve my dye?
Hi - can I ask if it is possible to purchase Mogstation items when I don't have an active subscription at this time? Thanks!
can we get more inventory tabs?
Probably, no
you can buy more retainers for real life money
so if I have a crafting material with the retainer will this material appear when I craft?
no
ah k thx
but you'll have an extra 175 slots per retainer to store stuff
why do some people have titles above their name and some below?
depends on the title
That how titles work
different titles appear differently
Thanks @boreal storm , btw is there a place I can compare market board prices across worlds on the same data center?
The prices on my world's market board are pretty bad..
Name [the postman]
wouldnt make sense to have like a "x of something" be a title before the name
Question for redmages, vs 2 non paper mobs, is it better to go for aoe rotation or just ST one by one?
how far into the "Return to Ivalice" quest do I need to do to do the Resistance weapon quest?
Everything done
i've only played a few classes but i've noticed a general trend of 3 mobs being the breakpoint to start using aoe
including the last 3 that is not a blue quest?
what can i do for gil if i'm allegory capped?
Ty 
If youโve done City of lost Angels, thatโs the last thing
oh phew, just did that, thanks!
check which of the 20-cost tomestone crafting materials sell the best and buy that
the highest selling one changes too often and is also server dependent to give an exact answer
i've noticed that pretty much every currency in this game has crafting mats for sale so it never becomes worthless
even after you buy the top shelf items
Hmm seems like the prices across all worlds on my data center are pretty whack for the item I want, can you trade across data centers?
no
worth realising this isn't a rule of thumb - iirc, the cutoff point for rphys and some healers is 2
how can i buy a house
reach a certain rank in your GC (second lieutenant I think?) go to a ward, find a plot available, and attempt to buy it
uhh so im doing a dungeon solo and i completely forgot to turn off the "skip previously shown cutscenes" for dungeons and i feel like i missed a cutscene for ng+ ;;
attempt ?
'available' plots have a stealth timer on them to stop scalpers. Once a plot becomes 'available' there will be a secret length of time at a guess between 2 and 48 hours before it can be purchased
you won't know its duration, and you'll only know its presence by attempting to buy
Housing (Ultimate)
'but does this mean I just click on the placard til hell freezes over' yes, yes it does
The hardest raid
is it hardest than uwu
Because it just isnโt fair
as someone who's done both, it's certainly more soul crushing
How does that not help scalper? I mean a regular player wouldn't have the time to just keep camping for a plot
Hello
dan
I got a question
Scalpers would agree to relinquish the plot for a markup price, and the buyer would just buy the plot
yellow icons means i can buy it ?
No
o/
Check the ward list itself, you will see plots where instead of an owner it has a gil price
When you die in UwU, you go โI messed up my bโ. Housing has no moments like that.
Those plots are 'available' either on the stealth timer or can be purchased
I startet marauder yesterday but got to lvl 20 after long time. How can i speed up my leveling to lvl 50 qiiclly as possibl
can you give me an ex
Is it on a first come first serve basis once the stealth timer is up?
well, actually you scream expletives about landslides or bomb tracking but that's neither here nor there
yes
Well, actually...
keep doing the story, it's your best source of experience.
Ehh, Potato po-tat-o
Anyone relocating to the plot with an already existing house, does not need the stealth timer
Doesn't that mean you basically need to camp the spot for 2-48 hours ๐
Which is kiiinda fucked
yep. spot on.
They're meaning to gradually alter the system into some kind of lottery, but that's only an idea and not yet
getting to 50 without your story progress will mean literally nothing - you will not be able to do anything you otherwise couldn't. continue doing the story
= no dungeons, = no nothing
EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
No mount
if you do everything in your way, sides and mains and daily dungeon you will reach 45 while you are still doing MSQ lvl 25 or so, that's what happened with me, but idk
can other people see me when I'm using the group pose? 
idk I feel really awkward if they just see me standing there
they can see you afk with the 'i am in gpose' symbol against your name
but nothing that you're doing
and yes I get social anxiety in ffxiv
well, that is how it is
when I got the phantasia and use ARR skip, will I miss something besides the story?
Trials, dungeons, crystal tower
I have to unlock it again?
Anything not story related will have to be unlocked
No
Job quests still exist
MSQ skip =/= job skip

Hello, does anyone know How to get skybuilder durium sand? i cant seem to get it
Thanks bud. So do I just keep refreshing until it lets me in then?
Only Grade 4s
yeah pretty much
for sanity's sake maybe do something else for a bit
is there any way to change my hair etc without using phantasia?
@boreal stormwhat do you mean grade 4s?
there's a quest in upper limsa lominsa which unlocks the aesthetician
from the aesthetician, yes
@boreal stormit says in my crafting log, skybuilder durium sand
For the Rathalos Extreme, when someone leaves is there a way to get new people?

Thank you ^^
Hey guys, I finish stormblood in a few quests and my SAM is already lv 77. What happened with the MQ exp then my job is already lv 80? Is it necessary to play a second job to not lose the MQ exp?
Itโs up to u tbh , dungeons and roulettes will make it so that youโll be overleveled
I personally always leveled two jobs at once to not lose exp
yeah it's not necessary but if you want it can be cool
There are 4 role quests in shadowbringers which can only be finished with lvl 80 classes. 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 phys dps, 1 mag dps
I had three classes at msq level by heavensward so I was almost never overlevelled
oh yeah. If you want to be a completionist earlier you can go for that
If it's something that you want to do in the future, just start leveling anothwr class
I leveled summoner, get free healer
Scholar and summoner share levels
(play what you want) I'm going for 80s across the board so it happened naturally anyway
Okay thank you! I will go for another job then, feel bad for the lost exp ๐
And there's a sidequest in shadowbringers which can be started with lvl 71 classes. It will bring you to a separate instance and you need to grind "ranks"
don't think you can do bozja till you finish most of shb though right
While grinding those ranks, you'll get plenty exp as well
@boreal storm it says its not obtainable in game? what do i do, i need it to craft my item, skybuilder durium sand
Like I told you WE ARE ON THE GRADE 4 LOG
Yes, but i mean better to have multiple 70+ jobs rather than 80 80 60
oh sure
But is it possible to do the msq with a Healer or a tank?
Yes of course
ye y not
You can use any class to clear the whole game
you can do msq as anything except for crafters/gatherers lmao
Except crafting/gathering ones
Thought the dmg wouldn't be enough then
It's possible to do the MSQ with any DoW/DoM
blumage over there left forgotten
Not sure why you get that impression
@boreal stormyeah, its not on my grade 4 sorry
blu isn't a real class
yes it is
Healers are KING here
I really appreciate anyone maining healers
Always use my commends for them
Healer and tank dps is lower than dps damge, but it's more than sufficient for doing solo content.
tanks are often better at soloing content than dps are 
i mean
Tanks can pull more
That's good to know! Focused only on my SAM so far
o.o
Healers are immortal
Tanks are slower but easier yeah
paladins are just healers
Dps, in some cases where you have to fight 1v1 can be tougj
it will never be tough enough to force you to change classes
healer u get that nice nice sustain
I remember a few times where my summoner/samurai almost die
Tank is super easy
But slow
I literally do MSQ as WHM because it's almost impossible for me to die.
"Damage? What damage? I didn't take any damage?"
Look at scholar
getting sidetracked, point is you can go as anything
msqโs pretty easy tho I donโt remember times where I died or almost died?
You have a little fairy healing automatically
msq is not designed to be challenging for an above-average competency player
this
heck
even low average player can do msq content smoothly
I almost died vs ||ranjit|| in shb. Not sure if I'm just bad or bcause i don't upgrade any equipment except for 60 70 80
I dont upgrade in between
one of the two
i mean u dont like wiping 1983128391 times during msq content
But poetics are so damn op already so maybe I'm just not good
which happened a lot in high end content
doesn't matter
might have been unfamiliar w mechanics but msq is in general easy to pick up
Yes
what's the actual shield value of unbuffed shake directly compared to divine veil?
one words itself in % of hp, and the other words itself in potency
was not both of them are percentage?
does anyone know how to fix?
Try again
Hey guys im new to the game i was wondering where i could find some guilds to play with ?
lodestone communityfinder
!faq communityfinder
Naoki Yoshida's wiki page says: Head of Square Enix's Creative Business Unit III[4]ย and part of theย Final Fantasyย Committee that is tasked with keeping the franchise's releases and content consistent.
How high is his position in SE?
Like how many business unit heads are there
Does he have much to say in other FF games?
hello guys, im 55 level the coolest white mage ever... but didnt get my gauge still...
when i get the gauge?
iirc he's also working on XV and XVI
Heavensward
Just wondering how high is his position after ff14's success
I heard rumours about promotions, not sure of the details though
Yoshi is a lead figure in XI too iirc
think heโs responsible for XI still going, or still getting new story content
Btw, endwalker seems to be the ||end of a lot of current plot arcs||? Did they mention anything else planned for the future?
nothing specific but game will keep going
Yes
6.0 ends hydaelyn/zodiark, 6.1 new arc we know nothing about yet
A new story arc for 6.1 onwards
Cool
got it - promoted to executive officer at SE in 2015, and vice president of the Creative Business Unit III in 2019
Wah thanks for searching
so pretty high up yeah
The man seems to genuinely care about his game and playerbase so i hope he got recognized within SE
i want to ask when is Tonberry open for character creations?
!faq serverlock

Try very early morning or late night
I created mine in atomos though, cause it's a preferred server
i am SEA time zone idk when is late or early
Get double exp for everything you do
People are saying tonberry has the most english players
that's what i heard yes
But I've never been there so idk how big is the difference
i guess for now just stay in atomos
For dungeons, raids, etc. The duty finder will combine anyway
Only different while exploring the world
oh so i don't need to worry about it too much
Yup
Which world are you in? Just join an English FC and you will be fine
Oh FC is tied to the server is it?
i just started with level 4 so idk what's going on my first mmorpg
I'm not sure cause i created my own
Are you free trial or did you buy it?
currently free trial
but idk if i am going for sub later on
That's fine
Hi all! I have 2 questions:
1- When does my sproutling icon disappears?
2- When doing my rotation, what is important for skills, animations or button pressed? Like if I use an ability, can I use an off-global CD ability even if the animation of the first one isn't finished? How does that work in FF14?
- When you reach shadowbringers and have played 180 hours
Then, you can't communicate with other people, so just do it now and see if you like the game. If you do, there are always english FC in all worlds, so you don't have to enter Tonberry
- 168 hours /playtime and reach the end of Stormblood
- A little bit of both, depending on your ping.
you can hide it with /nastatus
Don't hide it pls. Keep your sprout until it's gone naturally
okay thanks @leaden ginkgo and @rich gazelle
!faq sprout
The
or 'sprout' indicates that you are a new adventurer in the game and is only automatically removed when you have met the following criteria: 168 hours of playtime and completed the main scenario quest A Requiem for Heroes.
The icon can also be manually removed by typing /nastatus off into your chat. This isn't typically recommended as it helps other players gauge your progress into the game.
People will be more forgiving if you make mistakes with sprout
Though the community in general is nice
Oh btw there's a gil cap of 300k on free trial
is that a big problem later on?
Just do free trial at least until you enter Ishgard. If you like this game until then, there is a high possibility that you will like the rest of it.
You may want to spend some before capping
Not really
Just to make sure you're not wasting them
hmm okay looks like currency is very precious
Buy eggs, orchestraon, minions, etc
You donโt really need to buy stuff since you canโt use market board
Not really haha
If you play usually, 300k is honestly small money, so you don't have to worry about it.
I have 3 millions now without grinding
does this game have an auction house system?
wow jesus
Not for trial players
Wow. I have 4 million, even though I've been playing for around a year
hmm okay
Maybe you bought a lot of stuff?
3M by the end of ShB is pretty normal
I've bought 3 full exarchic sets
No. I'm just gaining money through roulettes and not by anything else
That's about how much you get just for doing MSQ and required instances.
is my main priority MSQ?
Yes
And job quests
Yes
MSQ > job quests > other 
But honestly, exarchic sets are the only place where you can spend money, unless you are interested in mounts of other things
Conveniently both are on the msq tracker
msq tracker?
"YES!!!"
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
At the top left of your screen
oh okay i see it
There are many many many contents that you can join before your MSQ finishes, but there are a LOT more after you finish MSQ
That will always show you what your next MSQ is, and any important
that you need to do.
But there's no wrong way to play the game anyway. If somehow you enjoy gold saucer, crafting, gathering more than msq then go ahead and enjoy
You do not have to do
though except your job quest
okay so i don't need to search up important one okay got it
Does blacklisting make it impossible to meet them through the duty finder?
should i buy every 10 levels until 50 new gear for my miner/botanist and if so should i buy the best one from the market or is there an npc that sells
I did deep dungeon runs before msq finished, but it was fun
Just that you can't proceed to next expansions without completing the msq
False. You have to do the (Hard) primal unlocks and Crystal Tower in post-ARR, both of which are 
does bite mastery at 76 for bard work with the dot damage?
Oops, sorry for the mistake
I shamefully admit I've never tried it haha
Already unlocked
.
But never tried
Doing potd 50-200 is fun, but really time consuming
How do i even come back to it after leaving?
Sadly no. Blacklisting a player only stops them from messaging you, and from being able to join your PFs
Like if i go in with 3 randoms
Then i leave
You create a static
Can i continue wirh different people?
I've never seen the same person in duty finder over the course of playing for 6 years
Oo
No. You have to gather 3 people in pf and say that you are interested in going until the top floor. It will take around 10 hour for potd and 5 hour for hoh though
Pray I never see them again then ^^
Damn
I don't have such dedication haha
I only have 9 days sub left
Gonna complete save the queen and come back when endwalker launches
does anyone have the chart for which logograms you need to create what
Eureka thing
FFXIV Eureka NM pop time tracker
for bard do you still go for your gcd if you get pitch perfect/bloodletter procs?
Btw, am i right to say that i can complete the whole save the queen story without doing weapons upgrading part?
aight
@rich gazelle yea
I don't like grinding so i just want to get to rank 25, finsih story and done
so just delay the three stack pp or bloodletter
Yes
Ok thanks
hey does the squadron battle manual work in dungeons ? and does it stack with the 3% exp bonus from meals ?
weapon upgrading is just the side part of it
Relics are always optional
what npc sells DoL gear?
For what level?
@river oasis a technique I have seen is while waiting for your GCD, you press blood letter just in case it procs
I'm sure I remember not being able to enter zadnor until I progressed with my relic, but I could be misremembering
I'm at resistances rank 21 now, honestly haven't felt thw story is anything special so far
every 10 levels
Already at zadnor now without any upgrade
below 50
that what i been doing . Mainly asking should i avoid cliping if the bloodletter comes up whe gcd is up
Gear vendors in major city markets should sell under-50 crafting and gathering gear @maiden palm
@hot eaglethx
potentially missing a proc is less important than rolling the gcd
!action heavy shot
ideally you shouldn't miss a proc anyway, but
so to get the elemental level 1 armor I just need to collect 50 different logos actions?
in an ideal world
so rn I have 8 is it really as easy as just farming sprites?
I know in order to get elemental 1 you need to get to hydatos
so I guess youu gotta be level 50
but the actual logos action part doesn't seem that bad
Yes,just 50 logos and 1 fully completed pagos relic
ye already completed pagos
just received wondrous tails, am i correect in that the duties in it are randomly assigned to a square on that 4x4 grid and only the first 9 things you complete award you with a square?
Yes
But you can reset your stamps (within limits) and try different ones.
Fill in 7 slots, shuffle a bit before you get tired then fill the last two and turn in

what do the khloe commendation thingies do? wiki doesn't mention that
Talk to khloe to see what you can buy with them
i see
interesting, silver and gold commendations have lvl 80 gear even though i'm only 60
but it's probably a waste to buy gear with those
Do I have to do an extreme trial to unlock hunting board?
whats max lvl retainers can get?
No
!faq hunts
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
I'm not seeing 'Let The Hunt Begin'
you're probably not high enough GC rank
Well gold is suppose to be the only way to buy mount but it appears there are 3 ways, so 1m MPG is the real reward for 3 lines @cursive ridge
Can I ask question about the server here? If so, it won't let me remove the rank of caster in my roles. I've tried several times.
Just ask
I think I am if I try to apply for promotion it tells me i can't get promoted until I complete my first hunt
Your HUNTING LOG
hm wait, i dont see gold commendation in the rewards, is it because i'm low lvl?
Gold is third from bottom, talk with khloe
hey u guys is ff14 lore related to the other games at all?
i vaguely remember someone telling me that like none of the ff games are really connected, and that each of them is like an entirely diff story
is that true? or are they related more?
i'm assuming this becomes gold at some point
Nope
Yes, sometimes is gold x1
There are easter eggs and stuff but 14 is its own unique story
Done.
Thank you. I don't know why it wasn't letting me remove it >_<
There are 2 caster roles accidentally. We cant get rid of the dupe one.
Dw about it. Not your fault.
so events take place in potentially alternate universes and stuff?
what do u buy for GC seals
No
It's 14 story
Nothing from other games
none of the numbered FF games are connected
Ventures. Cordials. Glamour prisms. I also bought repair material.
Well, except for Gilgamesh.
The easter eggs are in side content which aren't related to the story
Who is explicitly the same Gilgamesh in 90% of his appearances.
ohh i see i see
You can try buying stuff to sell in your server marketboard but ymmv
ty guys
it's like mario games
you have goombas everywhere but they're not related
more or less
Its only canon if they explicitly say its canon like the monster hunter crossover.
is there a way to hide the shield or not use the shield playing paladin?
You can use the emperor new shield and glamour it.
from the gold saucer rewards
Can you trade field notes with other players in bozja ?
No
Is there any FAQ for explanation of Practice, Duty Completion, Duty Complete and Loot party?
so I bought the p2w story skip item, where do I find it?
All items get mailed to you in time
where
its empty
