They are, but unlockable hairstyles tend to be unisex
If not unisex then the unlock just gives a different hair depending on the gender
Oh, I guess I wouldn't be able to use Aymeric's costume anyway. It's for M.
Aymeric’s hair is unisex!
If you’re a female character you have to buy an outfit you can’t wear to get a hairstyle that you can
Which is annoying
But also they could make more with a 1 time purchase. Many people only buy them during special times and don't have very many. I don't know if I will ever buy more than one extra with monthly. But one time purchase I'll spend much more
But it does work.
My instinct says otherwise, and their internal marketing analytics probably do too tbf
Probably
Unfortunately, what I'd really like is a full Lyse costume with hairstyle, but it doesn't look like the hairstyle is available.
Might be totally different for regions too.
Some regions I'm sure are more likely to do one thing or the other.
There is an option for long-term storage if you arent going to remove the items from there often
just sub for a retainer the last few days or last day
and cancel it
the items will remain until you resub
Yeah that could work, but those extra sale spots I'm sure can be quite nice
Where would I ask if someone would join me to get through the first few sets of Heaven on High?
Is there a website where I can go to create a character and test out glamours and stuff?
Idk if you can customize them but on FFXIV collect I think it is you can see lots of outfits and get some good ideas of what something looks like
Might be a different site I forgot
Sorry eorzea collection
I've never used it so I'm not sure about specifics though
at most u can check how sets or items look on a specific race but not really on ur own character

is there another easy way of getting company seals aside from trading in gear?
trading in gear is the fastest way
"another" "aside from"
Well
you also said easy
Gc missions" fates
You can do FATEs and roulettes
craft stuff then turn it in?
which brings us back to.... trading in gear
do fates like odin and behemoth shows up as normal fate icon on map?
no
no
has to be in the right place to join
ahh oke the fate spawn location are usually at the same place?
A good way to get gear is trade in wolf marks from pvp for gear. So I guess pvp is indirectly giving them
like when Odin Fate spawns, the weather changes to "Tension"
odin has different spawn locations
Behemoth doesn’t have weather but it spawns in a fixed location
bunch of different ones in each zone of the black shroud
oke understood, thank you guys
I keep seeing characters named after other Final Fantasy characters and characters from other properties. This isn't against the ToS, is it?
you can tell if it's a world boss fate by seeing a FATE on the minimap that doesn't show on the big map
no it's not.
Good. Y'shtolala must be cared for.
Or Y'shlotta
😮
Heya , a friend wants to pre-order Endwalker , he dosent own shadowbringers yet , does he get shadowbringers as well ? and if yes can he play it before the release of Endwalker ?
yes and no
only when endwalker comes out
Can I get more than 3 nier coins a weeks or no
infinite
Ok thank you
I mean if he gets shadowbringers with the endwalker pre-oder he cant play shadowbringers now ;o ?
i’m a noob and confused how ffxiv is only on pc but the end walker expansion will be on ps5 and such
its not only on pc, its on ps4, ps5 and pc (and mac i guess)
yes he will gain access to all expansion and no because that only happen when EW releases
it's on PS4 and 5

oh
there's crossplay between all platforms
i thought it was just on pc
oh i see
so it’s the same on xbox as it would be on pc?
seems like it would be difficult to play on console
no xbox port yet
it's designed with console in mind also
the hardest part is probably targeting tbh
okay thanks
game was designed with console in mind, also before ps4 it was also on ps3
are the expansions basically the storyline
yes
If I bought FFXIV outside of Steam, I'd also have to pre-order EW outside of it right?
ARR to Endwalker is all one story
it would take forever to get caught up on that
correct
it takes time but not forever
but consider the fact that people who enjoy the story don't play for the destination but the journey
not really
you play the story to enjoy currently rather than whatever the end brings
i endwalker the end of it all
started in june and im now @ shadowbringers and i dillydallied a lot
no
oh i thought it was
Endwalker will finish the current story arc, but they've got another one already in production
Same game, just new direction
how long has the current story arc been happening
6.0 ends hydaelyn/zodiark arc, 6.1 new arc we know nothing about yet
Since 2.0, 8 years ago
When people like Hoary Boulder and his whole crew are out of the Rising Stones, can you find them elsewhere in the world?
1.0 if you want to go back to the source material
i got a box with accessoires in it, but cant open it, because i have already a piece which is int it, how can i open it wtf?
discard the piece you have
idk which one
is there anyway to exchange the college blazer bow to tie?
which box do you have
or do i need to buy again
u can guess it from the name of the box
its on german x)
gimme i speak german
i got all off them i bought them 30mins ago x) how should i know that i will get them anyway rip xd
F in that case
@fickle glacier usually the waist piece
also u should have bought the ilvl270 instead
Oh lel
This.
why i didnt double check
Either I'm very lucky or the drop rate for Rathalos whistle has raised recently...
You must be very lucky
30 runs only saw 3 minions and no whistle so far
Guess who ofnthe 4 didn't get the minion 
is there anyway to report people who are clearly undercut botting on the market board
how good or bad is blue mage?
Its side content
Not applicable is the answer
And designed to be overpowered for its purposes
it's not in competition with other jobs
^
Playing blue mage is like its own minigame
it has its own content and its own special challenges
intresting
very good
it can be very op
yes
but it can't do current content
and it can't use the duty finder
you can use it to cheese and do interesting stuff with old content
you end-game DPS rotation is basically using every single spell you have in a 15 second window to deal ridiculous damage
and there are challenge achievements for clearing old savage raids with a full party of blus synced
fashion resets every week on fridays right?
there's also some very hard content in there also, like doing coils of bahamut, alexander savage, and omega savage
was wondering, why i dont see any blue mages
you will, however not in places you'd see other jobs
they are entirely within party finder and FATEs
The new week's theme clues go up on Tuesday; judging becomes available on Friday
you have from Friday until the next Tuesday to get judged
I'd recommend trying the job if you want to try something different as, for something people consider a meme, it's a lot of fun and you get access to some unique content only accessible by blue mages
Do guardians have any special meaning in-game now that the 4.2 patch got rid of resistance, or are they just for show?
in Bozja, Lost Finds is put items in the box and I can use whenever I'm fightring mobs in bozja, right?
you'll need to equip it in your holster, but yes
yeah, the box is the holster, right?
Is Scholar better, or is summoner better?
The benefical ones, they must only be put in holster and not need to use? are they stats buff ?
you need to equip them as duty actions
one is healer one is dps
cant compare
Scholar is a healer, summoner is a dps
the spirit potions are a consumable. you use em and it's a permanent buff until you dispell it
Oh crap, I thought they were both the same because they had the same ability (I think)
ok, so the ones under ITEM-RELATED are used as regular items
similar abilities and share levels
but how I use the others?
from your lost actions holster correct
for your lost actions actions, you use em and they take up either your duty action slot 1 or duty action slot 2
the game told you this in the tutorial
I'm in bozja right now (first time) and a message appeared that someone is calleing for critical something, what does that mean? a big fate ?
do the quests the game literally tells you everything
assuming you don't skip everything
also, it's likely the Critical Engagement is beyond the first zone
just follow the quests, earn mettle via FATES(skirmishes), and rank up
Was there just another crash?
that critical thing just appeared, dark blue icon on map,

Critical Engagements are a unique thing, they're boss fights in a closed arena that appears on the map
do the quests and everything will become clearer
so can't i do them even if I'm right at its side?
Doing Skirmishes (regular FATEs) eventually spawns Critical Engagements, then you join a queue to join in on the Critical Engagement.
Do the quests
and read the active help popups
you have to join Critical Engagements via the deployment menu
not even 1 active help pop up has appeared yet, is that normal? only stuff explained by NPCs
Read. Please.
it is mostly in system dialogue when talking to NPCs admittedly yeah
but all the information is given to you
continue playing
or just try the stuff that you're notified about
Not too lucky, failed all three roles. Yes, three whistles in two nights.
like i havent read a single guide on BSF, just follow the main BSF quests its not hard
||At level 56 to 57 , I get an msq that tells me that ser amaric was accused of hereticy (this is after I killed nidhogg). Can someone help me understand this main scenario quest. I read the quest but it still confuses me. ty ||
||he went to confront the archbishop about the truth of the dragonsong war||
||just keep doing the MSQ. everything will come to light soon.||
||The truth about why the war took place?||
||yes, because it would destroy the current power structure, not just the church but of the noble houses||
||He tried to stop the Archbishop so he was jailed under false pretenses.||
We have threads for story discussion btw, #871803571207807036
Better to bring it there.
wanted to buy a house, wqatched a yt video. in the video it said a houser cost up to 3mio gil~ is that true? or can i get a house cheaper ?
ok ty. Didn't know that section existed
Not ‘up to’, that’s at its cheapest
There are cheaper plots sometimes but the average is 2-3 mil for a small plot
3mil is the lowest price for a small house, unless it stays unbought for along time and depreciates.
However because of current congestion it's extremely unlikely you'll find a cheaper plot
o.o i just wanted a own garden wtf xd
Before depreciation:
Small plots 3mil-3.75mil
Medium 15-20mil
Large 40-50mil
I thought you could restart Heaven on High from lvl 20 and keep coming back to that level. Like with PotD
yes you can
21-30 yes
It didn't give me an option to start there
It just automatically queued me for 1-10
have you cleared that far before?
I just finished lvl 20
once you beat floor 30 is when it should unlock
might need to do a quick followup quest afterwards
D: I don't have anyone to join me now. I had someone help me get to 20
The wait for a queue is 20 min
Just like how Taffeta Cloth is exclusive to Field/Highland Exploration, is there any material for crafting glamours exclusive to Woodlands exploration?
it's pretty late for a weekday. you might need to wait until tomorrow
I'll come back when it's not so late
I'd have to doublecheck for BTN 16-hour ventures, but Fisher definitely has an exclusive material tied to one of their exploration ventures
what governs the chance that your mats are returned to you after failed synthesis? is it just random? or does it rely on a stat or progress?
Random.
There used to be skills which granted an increased chance to refund or not consume materials but those skills are long gone now
i guess me noticing that i get my mats back after failing at like 98% progress is just a fluke
Honestly even if you had the money the houses are limited anyway. Chances of there being an open one are slim to none in the first place.
For Battlecraft Demomateria 3, is it smart to just buy LV 100 stuff and desynth it or would i Go bankrupt too fast?
It’s not guaranteed from desynth.
why not just buy it from the market board
FT
why not just pay the money for the game :>
From what I can tell, nothing that didn't became more easily available through other methods.
Even if you got a bunch of desynth items there’s no guarantee you’d get the materia.
Cause I'm kinda broke atm. So imma Stretch this FT a Bit more. But yeah I'm gonna buy it
How long it takes to start HW job quest? Feels like forever. I'm trying to unlock AST.
After you enter ishgard
Which is after the banquet you can't miss it
Straightforward, thanks boss
And finish the intro cutscenes and you regain control of your character.
Wait what? Elaborate?
Once you reach Ishgard there’s a bunch of cutscenes and so on.
Once you can roam the city you can unlock ast and such.
there's like an hour of cutscenes at the end of ARR
it even warns you that they're going to be long
Is it a side quest? Or will it pops up as an important quest?
All job unlocks are side quests.
Ohhhh ok, there's a guild right? To find it?
Athenaeum Astrologicum
^
Gotcha, thanks everyone
how do you favourite a place to tp to
when i right click it only gives me these 2 options
it starts at 30 and should give a weapon and body and legs
it'll only give you a weapon, robe and pants. You'd better get some other level 30 healer gear
interact with the big aetheryte itself

Koo, glad I kept my older gear
note that caster gear and healer gear is slightly different
if you were thinking of using ranged magical gear
I have the gear from using SCH

not sub-level 50 it's not
i'm fairly certain +mind +piety exists on low level gear too
is there like any bozjan cluster farm etiquette?
I feel kind of useless since the tank usually can solo
that is crafted only
do higher ilvl retainers get better quick venture rewards, or is it enough to pass the threshold to not get the "ilvl is too low" message?
vendor still give both
vendors give crafted gear though
only a number of them
So what exactly is mind and piety? It's what's recommended for healers but idk exactly what it boost.
and DoM give both mind and int
mouseover the stat and read it
Mind is their main stat
It boost both their damage and healing
Piety is a secondary stat for MP recovery
Thanks
@umbral dune healer cotton robe
this is rare and only happens with certain tiers of crafted accessories
@umbral dune dps cotton robe
that's healer/caster.
both are on the vendor
It happens at low level to keep gearing simple
Intelligence for?
dont you see it gives both mind and int?
one's level 21 and one's level 24
Intelligence is for Black Mage, Summoner, and Red Mage
they're not for different roles
Intelligence is for casting dps, mind is for healers
Iirc, there are some low level accessories that give stats for all jobs
Arr gear is just fucking weird
It is just low level gearing
... ah gdi... should i change my Botanist Retainer into a Fisher then? (She's already lv 48)
Yea I still haven't start crafting, honestly idk where and how.
For crafters, you can just sit in the crafting guilds and acquire materials from the NPC for the first 15 levels
Changing my retainer class will reset the level yeah? Botanist (48) > Fisher (1)?
Then you need to go get materials by yourself (either with a gatherer, or buying it from other players) to craft higher level recipes
also i'm pretty sure you can buy the 'exclusive' long venture rewards on the market board
They're pretty expensive though...
(and sell)
Do take note that crafting is entirely optional
Is crafting really that complicated for beginners?
Yeah, but i seem to enjoy being a crafter.
Not really
It is not complicated
no, but it will take you some time to chug through
Crafting is very simple in principle but it does have a learning curve to master
It's a much more indepth system than in other MMOs though
took me a whole dedicated week to get to lvl 40 on all crafters
What Mord and Lyon said
without doing anything else
Can anyone suggest the best stats for PLD ARR Relic upgrade?
it's just a lot of time, not complicated
Crafters are their own classes with their own gear, their own leveling, their own quests and stories, their own hotbars, their own actions and rotations
absolutely irrelevant
Nobody's gonna use the ARR relic
Oh
Changing my retainer class will reset the level yeah? Botanist (Lv 48) > Fisher (Lv 1)?
you ought to buy an ironworks weapon
Yeah I got that already
Would you recommend craft gear for endgame? My biggest fear is having terrible gear when I reach Lv 80
@hollow phoenix it doesn't matter for ARR. But just slap on crit dh and det if you want
yes
GDI... thanks
Aight thx
Crafters have 3 stat: craftmanship, control, and CP.
Craftmanship improve your Synthesis skill.
Control improve your touch skill.
CP is like your mana point. Using skill cost CP. And each new crafting attempt will start you at max CP.
When you do a craft, you have 3 things to think about: progress, quality, and durability
crafted gear at endgame is not the best gear, but it is useful as gear that can be bought off the marketboard to catch you up to near current ilvl so you can start farming the actual best gear.
Synthesis skill increases progress. You need max progress to produce an item
ok i've had a lot of different collectible items, gatherable, craftable, but so far none of them have appeared in the 'Aetherial Reduction' screen. what gives?
Crafting your own endgame gear requires a lot of work and some of the best crafting gear
I wouldn't really consider it as a new player right now.
Where do everyone farm for endgame gear?
Touch skill increases quality, the more quality you have, the higher the chances your item will become a HQ item
The highest ilevel for armour at the moment is 530, crafted gear goes up to 520, so it's pretty good
only items with "Reducible" in the tooltip are applicable
can you show an example where to look for it?
sorry i have question is there any specific date about release of oceanic datacenter?
gear comes from various sources
When you use skills, the recipe durability will drop. So your goal is to complete the craft before it hits zero (there are skills to restore durability or to slow down durability loss)
the best gear is a combination of savage raid gear and level 80 tomestone gear.
Does this mean i need to have bought the game but not paid for a sub yet? Because im on free trial and I cant find the button to enter a recruit code
@wary sand that's the core of crafting
Around patch 6.1, so after the expansion drops and probably around February or March-ish
Meanwhile there's me trying to fish out the Warden of the Seven Hues
Needs a bought version
thank you
yes exactly
Kupo isn't showing it, but search up "Radiant Fire Moraine" for an example of one.
@obsidian patio found it
what’s the fastest lv 70 dungeon?
I thought the game came with sub time? Or does that not count?
Hell's Lid
anyway thanks for the help
ahh got it
Aetherial Reduction is a thing for gathering classes, it's not a thing for crafters
It produces thing needed by crafters
It's basically desynthing collectables
I feel like I'm moving too fast with the MSQ. I think I'll slow down once I get AST and learn everything else. What about grand company gear?
!item levinstrike aethersand
you need to find ephemaral node
Hmm
Looks slightly better than most low level stuff
yeah I had a collectible from one but apparently it was for a custom delivery so it wasn't reducible
GC can last a fair bit for ARR levelling
it is basically a collectible for DoL and you done exactly the same thing, but only those spawn in ephemeral node can be aetherial reduction
When it's a good time to start focusing on getting better gear? All I have is lv50 SCH blue gear from quest. Lv 53 Atm
!faq poetics
For reference, you just need to gear to your
level
grab one or two poetics pieces, like weapon and robe/pants
If you are on lvl 50 stories, don't worry about getting lvl 55 gears for your lvl 55 Job
also MSQ in heavensward will provide you with a steady supply of on-level gear
basic white craftable gear but gear nonetheless
Btw, Poetic gears can last you very long
Level 50 Augmented Ironworks traded from Poetics can last you into lvl 55 dungeon
Is there an end point to where the MSQ stopping giving gear?
level 80
When you are in the post game of each expansion
Oh, yeah, I totally forgot about the coffers
basically don't worry about it
What's ARR?😅 I feel so stupid
base game
everything up until Ishgard
Ah yea that's what I got from them. There's soldiery gear to certain particular level?
Soldiery gear is a mid tier level 50 gear
It is item level 90
Item level refers to the power level of a gear
Ironwork gear is some of best gear you can get at level 50
It is i130
i130 gear don't get out class until you can get level 54 gears
You will get a climb in item level when you deal with lvl 50/60/70/80 gears
The endgame for each expansions
Makes sense. Are they decent for dungeons?
soldiery gear is i110
What about raids?
unless you're planning to do bahamut at 50, which isn't required to progress msq, don't worry about it
crystal tower is a 24man raid and will carry on even if you do 0 damage
24 man! Like in a party?
yes, alliance raid
Wish I played this game years ago. Thanks everyone. I don't have anymore question. Take care.
In a sense, no you don't. This game has gotten better with time but some of the old design decisions were... Questionable. Have fun
You definitely don't want 1.0. you think you do. But you really don't.
NIGHTMARE
Keep in mind the raids in this game aren’t like those in other games. “Raid” tends to be a loaded term which makes people think of hours spent wiping and learning mechanics.
Normal raids in ffxiv are meant to be done in one sitting and usually take 20mins to an hour or so depending on which you do.

also most raids in the game can be done with an automatic group finder
At their longest an individual raid is expected to take less than 20 minutes.
Between wipes and learning mechs there will ofc be things that change this but the fights themselves are like 20mins at the absolute most
It does tend to take longer when people are new. When new 24m’s come out it can take much longer.
Oh, noted 😄
where is the start of the rising?
Uldah.
ul'dah
infront of the tavern?
Between the plaza and the adventurer guild.
is it the ff theme?
ARR theme yes
It's the OG final fantasy them playing
It’s called The Prelude. >:C
was wondering the bgm plays at limsa aswell
There's "event plazas" in all the cities but the actual quest is in uldah
i've never played any other FF games
so it kinda like the battlefield theme huh
I don't touch ea
anyway to report undercut bots on MB?
No
dice made multiple battlefields before being acquired
https://youtu.be/ZqZghYkfwLM?t=761
FFX theme is absurd
Looks like I'm a little late... anyway, here's Final Fantasy I to XV in style of a medley - another important overture dedicated to the franchise!
This was uploaded again to replace IX's 'Crystal World' with the other soundtrack that actually uses the word 'prelude' as its title. I can't believe I didn't know that one existed before.
There was...
Anyone knows when the mogstation sales ends?
Go play some of them they're mostly good games
We don’t.
Ff4 is my favorite :D
They don’t usually tell us when the sales end iirc.
Oh that's too bad
Sale Period
Friday, 27 August at 8:00 (GMT) / 9:00 (BST) to Tuesday, 21 September at 7:00 (GMT) / 8:00 (BST)
they're barely on PC
ey guys!
its there a trader where i can buy gear for DoW lvl 70?
no poetics for it
Wow, every word of what you just said, is wrong
Anyone having issues with mobile companion? Kept saying to update it but GP doesn't have any
1-10 are all on pc in some way shape/form although I'd wait for the pixel remaster of 5/6
11 is an old mmo and so is only pc now
12 and all versions of 13 are on pc if you hate yourself too
there was companion app maintenance
Ok another question: Why players weapon glows?
you have to grind to get those
Man. I can't open companion app. What update is there. I got nothing
Some weapons gloe
Some of us are realistically subbed to the game primarily to chase glowy things
So better version as having higher stats?
yes
Not inherently
Yes
Cuz glam
Where players grind for higher stat gear?
Worry about that when you hit endgame
i didn't realize HQ versions had that big of an impact
Msq and job quests should keep you sufficiently geared until you finish shadowbringers
I'm actually taking notes when I ask these questions😅
Well at level cap(50/60/70)
You get a currency called allagan tomestones of poetics
It's used to buy the highest item level gear for old expansions
Which will be the best gear you can have until level x5 of the next expansion
So poetic gear is the best gear to buy vs grinding for loots? At them levels? Are there any for level 80?
Is there a way to do auto face when you cast, but it doest jerk the camera?
Poetics gear is strictly for OLD expansions

can i play other jobs since Astrologian can only be access when your level 50 ?
Shadowbringers currently operates on the standard endgame system which is a bit more complicated
You can play all jobs on one character. But yes you can't access astro til leve 50
Does direct Hit rate do anything major for white males? Or should I stick with items that have spell speed or determination?
50 in the main story
Just upgrading my basic gear
That's sexist
Smh my head
It's mages. Dang autocorrect 😂
I think he meant white mage ? XD
Direct hit is strictly a dps stat, Crit will effect your heals and attacks
If I have an opportunity to have fun imma take it
oh alright cause im planning on getting Astro so thats mean i can play any jobs first before getting astro right ?
Yes
So I should opt for gears with crit and not the other three?
alright thanks
Crit and determination effect heals and damage, piety increases your mp regen, spell speed is self explanatory.
Just use whatever gear is recommended til endgame. You don't need to worry about optimizinf sub stats until then
im planning on buying ffxiv but like why cant i find my country ? .-.
Okay, cool. I'll see which ones are attainable with my Gil. Thankd!
For the crafting, you can customize what stats you want on them?
Some countries really are unavaiable sadly
No.
Anyone know whats firmament's ost?
So i just pick the nearest to mine
Hearthward
Dang, I wanted to do more crit heals.
Ty
As you level it’s more important to just get the highest item level possible.
That’s significantly more important than secondaries.
Roger that.
can armoury bonus hop job types? between DoW+DoM and DoH+DoL
stat customisations come from the mid-end stage of relic weapons, but thats intricacies.
theres materia which is also only useful at 80
Why would crafters and gatherers have an armoury?
As far as I know it’s only combat stuff.
Probably asked because it’s all stored in the armory chest.
so a level 70 MIN wont give a boost to lvl 60 DRG?
Nah.
one really stupid question: do recommendations have to be given out by other players? cause often I received them for no apparent reason that I can think of
Yes.
I assume you meant commendations.
@nocturne wyvern oh yeah
a lack of bad things is also a good thing
so if you're competent that's enough to give a commendation for some people
some give it at random
I thought it might be level/duty system
Nah. Another player said you did good or you were the only one left for them to comm and they wanted to get their weekly challenge of giving 5 comms out or they were giving you a participation award.
I say just take it as a complement and move on.
alright, appreciated
How long does it take for endwalker bonus items to arrive on average?
It can take up to a few days.
is there a way to track achievements?
On the UI? No. :/
😦
I'm looking to getting some inspiration for my housing, is there like a similar site to eorzea collection but with houses instead of fashion
You have to go in to the achievement menu each time.
thanks
As far as I know it’s the highest tier as of the time of this writing.
Once the cap is raised to 90 I’m sure they’ll add another.
Also you know you can still use the manual right? Just because the effect is reduced doesn’t mean you won’t get the bonus. Just means it will take longer to hit the max amount of exp available.
where should i level 50-60 miner ? levequests or diadem?
Hi all! me and a friend are wanting to level a tank and healer - specifcally to run ARR/HW/SB content when we are level 80 to farm collection gear (mounts/minions etc).
What healer class would you recommend to go for this ( I have healer experience in other games but I am very new to FF14 healing) Thanks in advanced!
Are Rowena's tokens any useful?
i have an issue with my game that when ever i alt tab my screen goes black for a few seconds do any of you know how to fix it?
White mage is the easiest. Just slap on a Regen and go to town with stone/glare
yes! ty for double checking i knew that, i appreciate it. but yes i just hit 80 so i was curious if there was another one to use
Play full screen windowed.
As FFXIV uses DX11, the application doesn't support full performance alt tabbing. You'll have to use borderless windowed if you want to alt tab without cutting to black
^ yeah that.
pain
There are certain items that can only be obtained with them.
what is a good class setup for grand company squadron
Though once you have them the tokens aren’t really needed anymore.
i see some people recommend 4 archer cause Ai sucks
I see, are those items any good? Or even good looking?
It depends on the mission, I usually just swapped to whatever I needed for the specific mission I wanted done.
The composition doesn't matter for standard missions, it's just a stat game for those.
are these used for anything?
For command (dungeon) missions however that's a different matter entirely
Centurio exchange for specific items
i'm asking for command mission
Good? No. Good looking? Depends on your taste tbh. https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Rowena's_Token
so i spend centurio for the book to hunt more marks for more centurios?
Back in the day, you could spam engage to get archers to spam quick noct. Now days, it more depends on which tactic you have active and/or leveled. Though, I still personally recommend archers because they're easier to resposition
Think you can turn in collectable ores for bonus xp and scripts
No, the log itself is an exchange item. Hunts are still only issued via the board
how do you get the exact same beard and mustache?
Yeah, thanks, I'm not even gonna bother since there's no weapon for Samurai
some beards and moustaches are limited to certain face types
You can't, that's a meteor survivor exclusive. I heard they're planning to eventually add it to character creation, though.
get the same face
tried all the face. no one has that.
Read my reply.
Yeah, some hairstyles are also unlockable not everything is inside the character creator
what is meteor survivor?
The main character stand in on trailers and promotional content
do u think thaumaturgy is good on AI ?
His official name is meteor survivor, though we also affectionately call him derplander for being basically the default hyur character model
isnt it locked to 1.0 player status?
do they even use their AoE
If they do, it's rare. Squadrons are extremely dumb.
Really the only reason they don't die as much as they should is because a: their level sync has unique rules and b: tactics OP
he use blue carbuncle which is an aoe pet
nah, just 2 for command mission
the main thing is squadron mission
full archers roster mean too many tactical, wasted while squadron require a combination of all 3: physical, mental and tactical
i guess once im done getting max mount speed from centurios, the rest is for glamour gear
why you even buy it when you fly 99% of the time?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Slithersand so i'm at the scrip exchange... can anyone confirm this is in there?
i can not find it
lvl 80 i have access to yellow and white scrips
for completionist i guess lol
grand company duties mean expert delivery, crafting and gathering delivery right?
Did you check level 70 items?
should i report auto clickers bot in house
i just discovered that you can level up 55-60 crafter professions for very cheap by just buying the custom delivery recipe thingies and converting them into items
I would. Not sure if anything will come of it though.
is that a thing i should be looking out for in the future?
im been waaiting for hours clicking and he just claim the house and still few people aclicking
um am i missing some???
For your squadron? You have to run dungeons with them.
Can you play as any job to get bitter memories ?
Uh… it looks like it. O.o
Yes.
.... what happened. lol all the scrip exchanges look like this
Thanks
Weird. I don’t remember it looking like that unless I’m missing something.
maybe rhalgers
how do I check what is my squadron rank ?
Check eulmore.
ah nope it was rhalgrs
my max squdron attribute is 400, does that mean my squadron rank is 3 ?
The roster on the wall I think.
the exchanges are universal, i just hasn't accepted the quest from rhalgr
please tell me this isnt real and I dont have to set an alarm for this
I don’t think it’s like that anymore no.
nvm as I complained it spawned
can you get white scrips from zhloe?
Yes.
my friend is trying to do it, but it says her yellow scrips are full, and she's trying to turn them in as a lvl 80 miner; will she obtain white scrips this way
She could just spend some yellow.
how do you spend some yellow?
Get some materia and sell it.
to get white scrips o-o
I mean spend the yellow scrips on materia so the excess doesn’t go in to the void.
I mean, can she get the white scrips even if she turns it in?
materia or the souls of the crafter if you intend to swap specialties for endgame crafting

whats a good way to level a dps alt?
!faq altleveling
!faq altleveling
Yup.
!faq altlevelling
!faq alt
LOL
!faq altjobleveling
I used that command to pull up the list.
i was laughing at myself for failing again
I have nearly capped my Company Seals while leveling my first character. Is there something I can/should spend it on at this point?
What’s your rank?
Are you on the trial?
Paid account. I’m Serpent Private Third Class, Twin Adder.
get retainer ventures
thats where most of your seals will go if you arent saving for anything else
I haven’t looked into retainers yet, though I’ve unlocked them. Ventures is something I initiate through the Company Seal vendor?
Ventures and glamour prisms are a good investment.
you buy a currency called a venture that you pay retainers with
Venture coins from the gc vendor. Ventures themselves at the actual retainers.
What is the purpose of ventures? I only know that it’s about having retainers doing something for you.
they can gather stuff for you depending if they are a combat, miner, botanist or fisher
They can get some rare and exclusive items.
You can send them to get specific items or send them out on a random adventure for a random item.
Crafters: Just wanna make sure, is this BiS sheet up to date? I got it from FFXIV gillionaire
https://etro.gg/gearset/9de5f86e-3813-463a-9b73-3d8e584ca95e
So ventures are primarily about assisting with DoL leveling/crafting?
I usually send out my combat retainers to get monster parts I want and can’t be bothered to get myself.
yes, its also the only way to get rare dyes (for free)
though its rng
so i guess when the new expansion comes out, the previously highest version of the scrips for crafter/gatherers gets folded into yellow scrips?
yes
like poetics
Your retainers can never go higher level than you in anything you haven’t already leveled and they can’t gather anything you haven’t.
Is this also the best way to get glamour prisms?
cool
its a good way to get them without spending gil
It’s more likely yellow will get retired, white becomes the new low level, and they add a new color.
so i have the complete edition on pc
can i still do the free trial on PS with the same account?
No.
No
but it'll just essentially be a recolor for current yellows
damn
Maybe a different shape to.
@naive ridge @nocturne wyvern Thanks a lot. Will go for ventures and prisms.
In Hw it was blue/red. Then became red/yellow. Then became yellow/white.
Question. I think yesterday someone said 6.0 is the end of current saga. That means the moment endwalker launches, it already includes that ending right? And the subsequent patch should immediately start next saga?
Or maybe add some epilogue
Don't subsequent patches usually add raids n stuff
According to SE, this is the end of the hydaelyn/zodiark saga
But not the end of the game.
that is correct, yoshi-p has said so
6.0 ends our current story, 6.1 begins the new
We’re not getting the entire msq at the beginning of the expansion.
We’ll get new msq and raids over the course of it.
normally the expansion's story is wrapped up in x.3, then x.4 and x.5 set up the next, but endwalker will be different
I need help to get to the golden saucer.
I never atuned to the crystal at the golden sacer the first time i was there and now i don't have a clue how to get there
thank's i'll try that
well, honestly shb was just crazy on every level. the setup, the call backs, the revelations, the emotions, returning characters, bomb after bomb.
even if endwalker doesn't end up being better than SHB that's perfectly okay, the bar is almost too high
its hard to beat your own masterpiece like that just because you want to @rich gazelle
i read on a forum that the arship rout only works once
Try before you worry about that.
there seems to be quite a lot of missinformation about this game on the internet
You also have to look at when it was posted plus (unfortunately) a lot of the wiki and such are not kept up to date.
this game has been out for a long time; certain things were at one point correct but no longer now
though that thing about airship working only once feels wrong, always 
This means the script get converted to yellow script or discontinued?
Yellows will get dc’d. You can convert leftover yellows to whites.
hey guys what does "224 up" mean in the castrum lacus litore
New color gets added.
sometimes i see 115 and etc
current white and current yellow will become one currency
Old expansion had red scrips
I see
Although with a new expansion BOTH tomes get discontinued and converted to poetics
116 D, 422A, 213 B too in a previous run
Noted
Looks like a typo 24 up for 24 up top
Worth having since augmented Cryptlurker gear will be buyable with poetics and reaper/sage weapons will be added to the scaevan and Cryptlurker shops
There will also probably be edenmorn weapons for sage and reaper based on previous expansion jobs
Has there ever been a conclusion to battle tactics for squadrons on whether it affects their AI
and does the inc to dmg dealt affect the healer's heal amount
Can hud elements be duplicated? Saw a yt vid with two target casting bars, not sure if the primal actually does a double cast or what
When you’re running away from a monster and attacking is there a way to make it so it doesn’t make you auto-run towards it sometimes?
Can you join a free company that is in a different server than yours?
no, must be the same homeworld
if you use standard camera, afraid not, switch to legacy in character configuration
You can use jump + mouse turn if you want to get stylish.
I have the same issue, but I changed something in the settings to not face enemies auto, but then I can't hit enemies without looking at them manually, so does legacy thing fix that ?
dont turn off auto-face target
You have to face enemies to attack them, only heals work with your back turned.
that is a really bad move
if they choose a target as focus target, and select it as current target, you will see two casting bars of the same thing
ic, so legacy just maintains my camera to where it was, so I can hit without it turns around weirdly
there will be two separate thing when use legacy
Ah that explains. I've yet to develop habit of setting a focus target as a healer
If you use jump + mouse turn (holding down both rmb and lmb) you can jump, turn quick, attack, and turn back around before you hit the ground without your camera turning.
one is where your camera is and two where your char looking at
the vision direction (cone shape on minimap) will determine where you move
i am a tank and already queued for ages
its like noon most ppl arent gaming
eu right now is midday, definitely not prime time
Haha i guess. Honestly i felt that heavensward was overhyped. It's definitely good and have very high moments like step of faith but having played plenty JRPGs including trails series, i feel that it's great but not a masterpiece. ShB on the other hand, blew my mind.
So yeah agreed i shouldn't be hyping endwalker too much as it may be just great
Been wondering this for a long time, why doesn't the game allow us to buy part of a stack in market board?
Sometimes i just need one of something but smallest stack is 10 and i'd rather not buy that and try to resell the rest if at all possible.
That’s just how they designed it.
That's how it's designed..
When you want to sell you can choose how many you want
Though if they allow you to buy partial, it's a win win for both buyer and seller
this design exist in so many game, and we have to get used with it
I'm spoiled by gw2 AH tbh
Items are sold by price ladder, you can order items etc
in your point as buyer, you only want to buy the right amount, in my point as a seller, i want you to buy all so i can free the space for other
My elemental level is 35, should I level doing FATEs and weekly challenge in Pagos, or do my levelling in Pyros?
i keep failing the very easy "The Lost and Found" healer role quest, i am not sure how to actually pass it. I keep them esuna'ed and healed but it still fails

What specifically is your issue? I don't remember that being too difficult
Is it the first or second part of the scenario?
hi for the first time im completely stuck, i've just logged in and i cant find any MSQ in my journal, and i cant see anywhere on the map to get it back?
screenshot?
where are you now in the story?
im level 38, i was playing yesterday just fine. im at the bit where im getting ready to fight titan
is the msq tracker not in your top left where it should be
have you defeat titan?
that wouldn't make a difference
nope
maybe its just bugged lol
i didnt know there was meant to be that at the top left
take a photo of your TV and your hudlayout
one sec
!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.
go to Hud Layout and verify that the msq tracker on top left hasn't been turned off
ohhh
somehow never noticed it lol
was just using my map and journal to get around
just logged in it's there now, thanks all
Can I complete Hall of the Novice quests with all roles to get all gear sets (tank, caster, mdps) ?
yeah
but the gear isn't as useful as the ring
that's why people just usually do them once
but it's important either way, if you are totally new to dungeon instance
but the gearset is cute so
It teaches you the basics practically
I got 70 umbrite for the anima weapon, what do i do with them now? I’m confused
If you don't know what to do with them, then you haven't reach to that point of the quest yet
the quest NPC would ask you about that
to bring umbrite
I reached the quest but I’m still not sure, do i use them to charge the weapon and fill the progress bar?
thx

have the developers said anything regarding a potential return of the GARO crossover and armor/weapon rewards?
a definitive 'no' maybe?
what is the best way to get gathering from 70 to 80?

Anyone that can please help me i'm stuck
So i boosted Dark Knight as my 3rd job its now lvl 70 and i ddont have the artifact armor in my inverntory ? where do i receive these coffers ?
you recieve your coffers in the same mail you recieve your boost
You get your 70 af armor with your boost
lvl 60 you need to buy with centurio hunt seals in the forgotten knight in ishgard and the lvl70 one from a calamity salvager
That's all you get
I've got the lvl 70 augmented gear but the artifact armor ? for lvl 50 and lvl 60 ?
you can buy artifact armor from the salvager
Yo guys, WoW refugee here - im a mythic raider and high-end player and have been for the past 10 years of my life but i've decided to lay off wow at least for a couple months, so i brought over some guildies who have around the same experience as me. We're by no means new to MMORPGs, and have played a couple others throughout the years so we're not scared of hard to play classes, either mechanically nor strategically (difficulty avoiding raid mechanics etc.) - we're wondering how important is it to have a tank and/or healer in our group to find dungeons/raids faster when we start out, and how important are semi-support classes such as bard (or in case there's not a lot of them being played), since wow has a big drought of tank players and most people just go big damage boom boom, so having supportive roles is usually the best choice. Sorry if this is asked a lot or if this is in the wrong channel, but i couldnt find a specific answer to this by searching the discord nor google. Thanks in advance!
Where is the salvager ?
thanks Thaun
you helped a lot ^^,
in steps of thal.
how do I train my squadron, can't find any "regimen board"
Are you all planning to do the Mainstory or are u buying skips?
there is a board next to the door in the inn you are at
We're all doing the mainstory and taking it easy
ye so especially early on dungeons are 4 player instances, 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps
tanks and healer always got faster qs but that can be circumvented if you preform a suitable party anyway
We want to feel the whole experience this game has to offer so we decide wether or not to stay here, skipping MSQ would butcher that 😛
is Grenolt's gear free?
Good choice!
yes
Thanks a lot for the answer @solemn jewel - will check out the healers since thats my main role forever. Any recommendations for an aggro healer? I'm into dealing dps when there's a low dmg phase so im not ok with healers who just sit back and wait
ye so
there is no aggro healer
theres not really agro healers
though, whm is a good place to start
All healers are expected to do damage consistently
^
im trying to do the lvl 15 duty "basic training: Enemy Strongholds" but i am not finding any party members
been waiting 6 minutes now, should i just skip it?
Guildhests are dead content
you can skip it
Also, while some classes lose out of personal damage in exchange for party buffs, there isn't really a concept of a "support DPS"
what is the fastest way to farm memories in "Change of Arms" quest?
Ffxiv kinda differentiates between pure/regen healers and shield healers tho
inn room or barrack? cause there's none in barrack, no name to interact with
well there's none
when u make a character, are you able to change features later on?
with fantasia 
u can change hairstyle, hair colour and stuff later tho
afaik you need to reach enough rank to access that
speak to the assistance guy
CLL gives you 5 memories, so that's really fast. but you can also run CT if you don't like doing content in Bozja
yeah you need to complete "Squadrons and Commander" do use squadrons
and be Second Lieutenant rank
@patent citrus I haven't start with squadron's first mission, do I need to finish that before I can train them?
oh ok i looked up fantasia, ty @alpine shadow
I forgot the requirements tbh, but the guy should tell you what to do
Hey, i've read that AST is the hardest healer to play ? but i never play any healer so is it harder than a dps ? cause i've look at some logs on ff logs and it's look like just spaming malefic 4 every time
if you don't have any squadrons, you need to recruit them first
subjective
I know/heard that PvP has seasonal rewards. Where can I see the current ones? (if there is current pvp season going on?)
just play what you like
after playing tank for such a long time, I think DPS is harder
You can’t train & send out people on missions if you don’t have more than 4
doesn't matter if your class is the easiest/hardest
there's probably someone can play better than you
very subjective, generally sch is considered more difficult though.
but regardless of which you pick healers only have like. 3 main dps abilities, one of which being an aoe
I just want to know if i can start healer as AST or if i should start with a easier one
go for AST
if you want to start with ast, go for it. just be sure to learn the card system
@alpine shadow the assistant told me squadron is full and ready to go, but one of the attribute requirement isn't met, so I want to train them first. do I need to start their mission first or...?
Okok ty 😄
do people run dungeon unsync to farm the gears for glam?
if people do that it's p much always solo
