That's where new player choose to go usually
So you'll see many new sprouts doing MSQ
Thank you! Is there a way to see which servers are preferred? Lodestone is showing every server on Crystal as preferred right now - does that mean all of them have bonuses?
Yes
how do I get to 430 ilvl to continue the 5.1 msq? I got the gear from Grenoldt. Does Amaurot drop 430 accessories?
Tomestone gear, raid gear, crafted gear.
If you have gil to spare you. An get the crafted gear and you'll be good forcthe rest of Shadowbringers since that is 510 ilvl
Is there a way i claim this goobuee mount? I played 1.0 in the past but not sure what the steps to claim it
speak with Wandering Minstrel
i think there's some minstrel quest for it if you owned it on the character in 1.0?
Do the mounts and emotes in Gold Saucer ever goes on discount? I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and get them now
I am pretty sure the quest was only accessible in 1.0
ah yeah, looking at the wiki, you would have to have obtained it before 1.23a
released in 1.20b
Oh so it's unobtainable now?
Correct.
yeah

is this it? Physical seems off? 😛
I often tab out of FFXIV when in queue, and the game is muted. Is there any way to have it make the program on my taskbar flast when the queue pops?
Unrelated fun fact, I do believe that that quest was the first appearance of the Minstrel
Physical damage is not what you should be looking at for weapons
Y I ure looking at a nq version
!item exarchic daggers
None
116 (129 HQ)
78 (87 HQ)
586 (651 HQ)
657 (730 HQ)
454 (504 HQ)
318 (353 HQ)
※ Materia Slots: 2
※ Advanced Meldable: Yes
※ Required Level: 80
※ Repaired By: Blacksmith
※ Repair Material: Grade 7 Dark Matter
※ Dyable: Yes
※ Desynthesis: Yes
Hq damage is 129
Also yeah, get the High Quality version
Always get that one
But regardless even the NQ one is better than what you havw
Everything scales off the base damage of the weapon, its still technically the most important stat
Nope. I suggest you unmute the game and then in-game mute everything except for System Sounds. That way you'll hear the 'queue popped' sound when tabbed out
do i just discard alexander/omega raid normal drops?
I only see this quality of the daggers I think, in the market
Unless you want specific glamour
i dont have any intentions in handing them in for gear and its taking up a lot of space in my invent
Then hop servers
Yeah just throw them away
They have no value beyond the glamour
@fickle meadow alternatively you can get the gear and trade them for GC seals
sweet
if you have crafters leveled, trade them for gear you can desynthesis
get something out of them you can sell
wdym
You can visit any server in the chaos data center and check their markets
Works for me. Thank you. 🙂
I want to cancel my sub and take a break for a few days. Will the sub rewards day count reset when I do that, and I have to keep up with a recurring payment? Or is that not required?
no it wont reset
Ah, good news. Cheers!
Sub rewards are total time subbed
It won't matter
not set up that you must stay subbed consecutively, thatd be torture
Great. I honestly don't know why it sent me an email that they will do an automatic payment to begin with.
I don't think I ever opted in for that.
Game director has outright said: feel free to unsub and do something else for a while this would fly in the face of his philosophy
Indeed haha
You have to go and opt out in your mogstation account
like i came back after a 7 month break from the game lol
So in the timers next to custom deliveries there is "allwoances:6" but i acnt make any more deliveries this week, what are those alliances?
allwoances*
You can make 12 a week, 6 per npc
Otherwise the sub will automatically renew
ah, so the other npc is in stormblood i suppe?
suppose*
yeahhhhhhh
so if i have heavensward finished only
then khloe is the only one i can give deliveries atm?
Wait, can you even do that with a Crysta as a payment method?
Hmm, I don't know
Both options lead to recurring subscriptions. Unless I am missing another place.
Yea, I just cancelled it :D
😄
Personally, I prepay the precise amount of crysta I want and buy time for that, so regardless of if its recurring or not it won't have money to use and it'll cancel.
ah we have another who knows about crysta, phew i feel less dumb
That's one way to go about it I guess. I have two month's worth of crysta though.
The thing is, Crysta is the only way to pay with paypal.
It's not possible otherwise.
So, I had to go down that route.
Either way, it's not a big deal. I can start a sub and cancel it later. Thanks for your time :)
What's better, block strength or block rate
Depends on the damage source.
Also, as you get higher into the game, there stops being a variance
When doing unsynced content can we inv someone mid dungeon
Like inv a friend or fc member
no
Welp
But for ARR stuff, if you're in a pack of trash, block rate is better because you're consistently mitigating more damage, even though the strength is lower.
If you're up against a single foe, block strength tends to be better because more damage is blocked at a time.
Lol
do you have a house?
I tend to buy ventures and, once high enough in GC rank, teleportation tickets
What's chocobo barding
short answer: Chocobo glamour
Ah
Anyone know where the recruit a friend button is in mogstation? i cant find it
what does ver in vercure and verraise mean for red mage

Dev team confirmed it comes from "vermillion"
what is that, a job or a class
Job
its a healer class job
ic, i'm trying to avoid any class - job till later time in game after I finish most of the things, but this doesn't count as a job so might take it
what
Astro's a healer
it's a combat job, disciple of magic, healer role
oh ic, then I shall leave this quest xD
At the start of the game, you can play classes that can turn into jobs.
In later expansions, they skip the "class" part and you just get jobs right away.
thank you for the information 👍
For squadrons, do folks currently on a squadron mission not get exp from training missions?
Where do I level up as a level 70 who already did msq? Bozja and fates?
MSQ roullete 
Is this the fastest way
Bozjan's pretty good if you have it unlocked
How do I unlock it
Msq give you a boatload of exp but you'll be investing 20 to 40 mins depending on if you get Pratorium
can be longer
Min 45min but the rewards are OP
Do level 69 (nice) dungeon until level 71, then do holminster or bozja
Go to Kugane, the bozjan quest starts there
You have to be 80 to start it, and have completed the SB alliance raids
What is your take on healers dpsing? Should content be more difficult to facilitate more healing? Was in a group yesterday with a scholar who was focused on dpsing and we kept dying. I personally feel if healers just heal, then everything would be grand. I think there is too much stress on healers to dps and that makes stinky healers imo
Do you have the quest name that unlocks it? Having rn a + quest there that says wandering minstrel
Minstrel*
Healers need to dps.
hmmm
should be in market area
unlock the wandering minstrel quests anyway
they get completed just by talking to him once
There are no classes after arr
You are outright expected to dps, high end content is scaled for all jobs including healers dpsing
I have no more + quests there and no one says level 80 :o
Did you finish the sb alliance raid series?
in roulette content, healers sometimes used them as adjusting their comfy time to heal
You might have quest objectives inside their airship
A good healer will heal as little as possible, in dungeons this goes double for white mages since the stun from holy means enemies can't even deal damage
However, you don't need to heal that much usually, DPS dying is because they ignore mechanics
And as you get higher level you'll have more ogcd healing abilities
So the higher your level the more you can dps
Ah I see
Wait sb? Shadow bringer right what series it says atm for me the copied factory and puppet bunker
Sb is stormblood
Shb is shadowbringers
stormblood raids
Keep in mind you need to finish the questline not just the raids too
once you have the series completed you'll have access to bozjan quest
ah I see was wondering
only 9days prime XD
ptime*
What's the quest called for orbonne
relativly short usually
you will never outdps a living dps so a dead dps a lot worse than not healing dpsing healer
lol sure and it will help the group how ?
but what about a living dead dps?
sure they should not stay in stuff and die, but to keep them alive is better than let them die and do some more dps
I've had to use living dead or holmgang more than I care to admit from late heals
my hp dropping to 2k vs ozma and not getting heals for 10 seconds was scary
And guys what are relics I only hear people say yeah get that relic for the glam etc
Are there relics for all 4 expansions
Or only 1
dps dying to avoidable damage is no problem of the healers
Bozjan gives you relic weapons, they're usually pretty good and I recommend getting the first one if you're gear is low
as a healer feel free to dps as much as you want, but your job is to be there to heal
The thing is I don't know how to get a relic weapon they drop in chests or how to get them
no you get given them, the first one is free
but you need to be in gangos (a bozjan area) first
Your job is to keep people alive. There is an important difference
The way damage works in this game means that if dps a dps dies its probably cuz they screwed up a mechanic
So bascially I need to get to bozja, then I get a blue + quests and follow what it says?
as someone who tanks a lot, its very stressful when our hp drops below 10%
A boss will be autoing and tank blustering the tank and occasionally doing a raid wide. Raid wides mean healer does an aoe over the whole party. This should be bringing dps up to snuff.
pretty much
Extra unnecessary damage outside this is from the dps fucking up
Which is what I mean by, if a dps is dying its probably their own fault
and who cares for that? you loose the dps, you loose the fight, you can rant about that the dps is bad cause they died but what does it help if you wipe
the amount of late heals or me having to pop a deathsave to prevent a wipe scares me
Are relic weapon always better
I'm not. Factually if a dps is dying its not the healers fault. It's their own fault
better than job gear
It's the dps responsibility to not stand in bullshit
9/10 times
*to avoidable shit
And with that 80 gear from eden
It's simply how the game works
The healers do not need to prevent the dps from dying at every turn
Healers aren't babysitting you
I go by this rule, If the healer dies its a slowish party death.
if the tank dies its a quick wipe
This also includes standing out of healing range
In harder content, standing in bad usually just means it's a 1-shot
Eating aoes at every single turn usually isn't worth saving
Or standing on the tank and getting cleaved
Healers are WAAAAAAAAY to good at healing hp
Just don't stand in fucking bad
And be fucking braindead
Tl;dr: because of how the game is designed. If a dps dies its probably their own fault
healing in lower-level content is honestly so simple that if a dps is actually dying, I'd struggle to think what on earth they'd done to manage it
Why do we talk about fault ? i don't rly care about whose fault it is. I main a healer and if i can save a dps i will do it (if the tank doesn't need saving). Cause from my POV if the dps dies a will never be able to outdps him anyway. So better to heal him than do some crappy dmg.
I'm not saying not to res or heal them. You don't take responsibility for not taking unnecessary damage its your own fault you're dying
DPS are responsible for keeping themselves out of bad
Healers heal unavoidable damage
is the character name limited to Per Center or all servers
If you occasionally/rarely stand in bad, OK mistakes are fine
Same as how its a tanks responsibility to keep their stance on and dps enemies
But constantly doing it, no fuck you
So better to heal him than do some crappy dmg.
it's easy enough to do both. literally very simple. if a dps is taking such ridiculous damage as to distract you, they're probably acting out of turn and not worth recovering
Per world
like can i use my same name from Zodiark into Ragnarok
i cant
Then someone on that world has it
That means someone else is using it on ragnarok
mf
Has anyone here won main jump cactpot prize? If yes, how long did it take you (as in how many tries)
ok thanks
You might as well ask how long it takes to win an irl lottery
Stop that
I got my answer
like, 1/3333 chance every week if you buy 3 different tickets
weird i wanted to use my name too in other server but no one have it 
Not all characters show up in search.
Private profiles
(sigh)
what does legacy server means
it existed in the 1.0 version of the game, doesnt affect anything
may i know which people region are most in server
we don't know that, all servers are very populated.
!faq serverpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
all servers are really close in population
All servers are currently packed to bursting
yeah then don't roll on Shiva/Moggle
All servers are cross data centre so you can't outright escape them
o and please how can i move my HUD or UI settings to another character
it reset when i switch
nvm i figure it out
are your materials still removed if u start a craft but then cancel it
yes
Hello, i already completed all my miner gathering log but im still missing like 30 ores for the "I Found That: Miner VII", what ores am i missing?
by chance you lost some or all material and even by then, fail to craft may consume zero except shard/crystal/cluster
Hi, I want to ask do I need to collect all the relic weapon for my ninja? The reason I ask this is because other than collecting relic and trying law and order set/eureka or get into savage, I’m not sure what can I do other things than that. What do you guys do? I’m a lvl 80 ninja
you should check the look of different expansion cus arr, hw and sb are just for glam, zero effect to your lvl 80 now
and since is pure cosmetic and side content, choose what you want

is there a way to easily apply glamours to my retainers?
currently the only way I can think to do it is have a plate of my own and then put on the gear i'm about to give them, apply the plate, and then take it off and give it to them. and I feel like that must be wrong lol.
Currently i've only ever had my retainers glamoured when I gave them hand-me-down gathering gear that already had my glamours on it.
But I want them to be dressed nicely when they come to me.
I was going to give them the best-man's set for a glam outfit.
is the koshin Mikoshi mount you get missing eyes from one of them on purpose?
looks like the eye model is literally going into its skull for some reason lol
The what mount?
sorry mikoshi
yes
yeah nah that dudes either blind or unconscious :p the namazu look like that sometimes
yeah when you fly he's like dangling off barely holding on
ahhh gotcha, they only looked like that when in distress so i got a littl enervous lol
If they get stunned their eyes go white like that
It's just a bit of a joke more than anything
if i walk while my map open it dissaper and only show when im not moving whats the solution
It goes transparent so you can see.
thanks
is there alliance raids in heavensward?
yep
it's an option on the left side of the map, you can disable that i think
i just started bozja a few hours ago, id like to know if the lost actions are reusable, the ones which you could add it to duty action
or is it gone after I leave the instance? I mean if I come back later or the next day
reusable, but they have a limit and if you switch them out you lose them
They stick around until you run out of charges or swap them ouy
can get mulitples tho
so like lost cure, I can use it till I swap it out?
is there a way to make the camera move normally like when i strafe?
idk how to explain it
Cure has no charges so infinitely usable
im on legacy movement
ty
do you mean, you want the q and e movement?
just rebind them yea
then you can use q and e for other stuff too
nope using move left and right for a d
wondering if anyone can help. ive finished the shadowbringers alliance raids and got to repeateable quest now at the end which ive completed. but new game plus still hasnt been unlocked. where do i need to go? ive tried going inside but cant see any otehr quests
i just want the camera to move with me and not like spin
There's a capstone quest
Gotta wait till next reset, iirc
ahhh tyty when is reset day?
Tuesday
sweet ty
does anyone know how to fix this maybe?
How do chocobo attacks work? Do they consume a resource or are they cooldown based? Would having more attacks cause the chocobo to deal more damage by having more attacks to put on cd?
Probably haven't finished all the weekly quests it takes like 2 months
You'll get a title and credits once you're done
CD-based, they spam whatever abilities they have access to. you an make them only use a specific set of abilities based on the stance
healer stance makes them only cast choco cure and healing spells for example
I cant find the refer a friend button here, can someone help?
it's not below either 
is it because im lala? went just like in the fashion report but cant get the 80pts for some reason HELP
!fr
You're not even remotely using the right items
dont i need only the eyepatch and pants?
hes using easy 80, looks right to me, maybe wrong yellow
you filled every slot right?
yeah its filled whole
yea and im using the halatali yellow
huh weird. just dye the eyepatch soot black i guess
I click on the "your account" tab and it shows up
ow that worked, ty
Maybe it didn't work cause you dyed the eyepatch yellow when it seems to just be the natural colour for the 80 points
vendor gear in ARR comes with dye
i dyed only the pants, the eyepatch was stock color from the vendor
absolutely horrid colors too
but making in sooth black helped
hi is there a macro to first change to a gear set and immediately activate an ability?
I believe so
aka "dont forget tank stance idiot" macro
I found an S rank hunt target in heavensward zone but there aren't any people around to kill it. what should i do?
/gearset (number) should allow you to swap to that gearset
honestly for HW id say just kill it
i'm level 61
if you can
Tip: type this in in-game chat to make sure it works
yeah rip
To use a skill in macro, you go with /action "skill name"
No, but it will be easier if you are
easier as in?
Hey, is it longer to do the main quest for the first time has healer cause we dont do a lot of damage compare to dps ? So it's better to do it has dps and then to powerlevel a healer in dungeon or something like this with the 100% xp bonus ?
easier to get full credits
You can perform like crap but your party member will make up for you
the same, the instances are adjusted according to your class/job. in fact, its easier as healer since its even harder to mess up
@sturdy mango it is the difference of taking 2 more skill to kill an enemy
Could use Dps for msq and Healer for dungeons, you shouldn't have much issue doing msq as Healer tho
solo instances are adjusted, overworld mobs are a joke
if I start a roulette before the reset time and end it after the reset time
does my bonus still reset?
use whichever class you like
counts for the new day
Pretty sure the bonus is count when you completed it
OKok ty
Not when you started the roulette
ty
I don't think I'll be able to squeeze in a levelling roulette before 11 am then >_>
Just queue for highest leveling dungeon directly then
Leveling roulette is gonna cut it very close unfortunately
is there any endgame guides, for players who just finished the msq and are a bit lost about the endgame?
yes, seems so
neat

what’s the ShB mark requiring you to die at that location to spawn?
Short version: farm the highest level dungeon available to get tomestones.
Revelation stones are how you get 520 gear then you can upgrade them 10 item levels via the nier raids.
!faq contentunlock
do you get the msq free fanta if you buy a shb skip?
No
D:
Skipping forfeits it
There's even a sale on em
You could get far enough for the free one then buy the skip.
If you’re buying a skip, just cough up the 10 bucks
If you can afford a skip you can get a phantasia
So if I just wanted my chocobo to do more damage, after completing the attacker tree it would make more sense to go down the tank tree, because it gives him more attacks?
No
No
Tank tree bad
Tank one is bad
Why would that not help damage?
Why you gotta be so fast man? 
You deal the most damage
Why would the tank tree, which has extra attacks, not improve the chocobo's damage?
Even a healer job dishes out more damage than a chocobo
It will probably improve it, but most of us don't do it because it is a small increase
You are better off with a simple healer attacker chocobo
If your chocobo is healing you, then you don’t have to heal yourself. So you can attack more
I don't need or want a healer chocobo.
You do
Again, your chocobo will improve from tank stuff, but you still dish out significantly more damage
its dps is actually pretty good, and the stun is so helpful
but its nowhere near as useful as a free regen
i mean its certainly nice
but you can do more damage the less you need to heal
You think you don't, but you do.
It's not like you can't max out all three trees eventually anyways.
It's just more advantageous to start with the healing tree.
Most classes don't even spend gcd to heal themselves, why does that matter?
I thought you can do two tree plus some?
But that means you gotta get 10 onions
That's not that hard though.
Just stalk the MB for someone selling them way under market price and you're gucci
and 2 onions from side quest already
Again, this is what the community has come to agree how to get the best value out of the chocobo
I'm starting stormblood and have yet to see anything that requires any healing whatsoever. The healer chocobo would've been a complete waste up until this point. If this game gets harder in Shadowbringers I will probably have regen by then. So to me, more dps makes more sense now.
If you choose to do it differently, then so be it
exactly
i only bring him out for pets these days anyways
so more dps is better because it kills faster than regen which does nothing
If you hit mobs one on one, then chocobo, no chocobo, makes no difference
I usually dot a mob and let my chocobo kill it while I kill something else
he can kill stuff on his own pretty fast
If you are doing fates alone, or trying to do hunt bills (and try to get more exp by going after higher level targets), you wanna go healer Chocobo
Neither of those have been remotely challenging.
So Attack -> Tank is better for dps, yeah? Who knows, maybe he'll pull aggro from an add or something
He won’t pull aggro off anything you’re hitting
iirc doesnt healer give a crit buff?
You literally have to be afk to even remotely get aggro for the bird
Your chocobo will never be able to take aggro for you. It's garbage as a tank, and without the healing tree, if it does, it will die very quickly.
they all give crit buff
anyone know what to do about this? i just made my account
Don’t show your code
Xl don't post your code man
Ug
You bought a code from a different region than your account is registered to.
Uh*
You need to buy from the store matching your account's region.
i made my account and bought it from the UK
do i gotta make a new account or somethin?
if you made an account on mogstation
And are you using an EU account?
!faq mogstation
The only reason you'd be getting that particular error is if your account region and code region don't match.
yeah
is it on mogstation?
So either you went to the wrong version of the store, or you made your Mogstation account the wrong region.
? they didn't specify the problem yet
They posted a picture with their code.
They removed it, but it was up long enough to diagnose.
i didnt use mogsation
You need to register on the mogstation.
What does it mean by 240 potency..? is this like 2.4x your base stats for an ability ??
That’s step 1
!faq mogstation
Follow that link
ok
Just a way to compare abilities AFAIK, all classes will have different potency mean different strength
Potency is what they use to calculate the damage
Not sure what the calculations for it are tho
which product code are we talking about?
its mostly only so you can easy see which skill does more dmg
and, where are you entering the code?
mogstation
Potency is just a linear scale within your Job to compare skill damage
I'm thinking of played bard, but im not sure if they get any cool skills down the road. Also, are they fun?
Remove any personal info or code
and where did you buy the code?
yes and yes
@sleek needle@boreal storm@hot eagleRight. I see..
So a 200 potency Paladin skill will do twice the damage a 100 potency Paladin skill
Do they get cool bars and timers?
yeah, you need to check if your code you bought it from is the same as your account
ok that's all I wanted to know. There's no multiplier involved. thanks 100 is the base
But take note that 200 potency Paladin skill may not do the same damage as a 200 potency samurai skill
bought off of steam under in england reigons but it made my account in america?
That’s probably why
@warped nestthanks, yup makes sense diff classes diff abilities..etc.
what should i do?
if you made a square enix account set to america, you would need to make a new EU account.
any way to keep the name i used or nah
nah
damn ok
but that's just a login name
the name you register ingame is different
unless you used free trial?
ok well time to get out my other email lol
nah
!action Holy Spirit @unborn light
Squadrons
ok
!action Holy Spirit
!action Royal Blade
God damn it
ur doin your best ❤️
!action Savage Blade
Royal authority
!action Royal authority
So, if you use royal authority directly, it is a measly 100
Doing it from combo will make it 5.5x stronger
Take note that this is also how you determine the cutoff points for your AOE skills
!action Holy circle
When holy circle hits two enemies, it will add up to 500 potency
Pretty
its not in browser its in the launcher
kinda random how this error gets triggered
ah
well, you can do the same thing in mogstation
now my account is restricted bruhhhhhhh
what are you attempting to do atm?
log in
i restarted the launcher after i got that error and logged in and that happened
yeah that happened after i entered the code
ye
!faq mogstation
well i gotta unrestricted my account first
are you getting an error that is not i2501?
no it said there was suspicious activity when i tried logging in and resrticted my account
I've got frequent issues with my client suddenly entering chat mode without me pressing enter in the middle of combat, any idea how to avoid that?
iirc, you can fix that by requesting a password reset
just did
imma try putting my code in on mogstation
aight it worked out @alpine shadow thanks loads!
👍
same exp buff yes
ok ty
but the bonus is a bit different, free 1mil on new world
but there are no new worlds atm
until the OCE servers appear
hi, i just got my first relic for my ninja. Other than e1 savage (not doing it cus of long queue) is there anything i can do which is dungeon related
Oh nice! Right, was just curious when reading the site on world transfering. Ty good sir @alpine shadow
Go learn extremes and stuff and do roulettes and all
@faint flare what's abd? do i not queue for extremes too?
No sane people que for high end content like extremes or savages
*cries in mentor roulette
hey, it's not possible - or mentioned that they might change in future - to play music on any non-Bard job, right?
i'd really like to pull out my violin on my main job
Nope
He ought to be used to it, as many questions as he answers 🥲

what's this weapon called? do they have for ninjas?
that's from TEA
doubt so
i dunno whether this is a spoiler question or not
are you able to login to mogstation?
you probably need to wait a bit for the system to update
but why does the pixie dialogue have [] on perfectly english words?
which SE?
the brackets are what your character translates them to because you have the echo
!faq mogstation
this is where you want to reset your password for your ffxiv account
nah
it is an option to login, but there is also a seperate login
well, maybe it is the wrong account?
they are two different login systems
hey guys I just hit 30 as rogue and finished the questline too...dont see any option to become ninja
if you changed your password on the SE store then that doesn't affect mogstation at all
theyre not connected
aka, this one here is the wrong login: https://img.thaun.dev/8rgph.png
mogstation is the account you login with ffxiv
If I check for FCs at lodestone and none of the names I see in a company that interests me is searchable ingame, does that mean none of them are active anymore?
no
you login with your mogstation account
or "square enix account" account, and not "square enix membership" account
depending on what "square enix account" you are talking about
or you just used the same login information to register as
mogstation is a separate account entirely
if you don't have one then you need to make one
you probably made a mogstation account using the exact same user and pass
why couldnt i roll need on this as a healer? https://i.imgur.com/kIG7vAe.png
sure, you can login to the square enix store, but the square enix store account cannot be logged in with your ffxiv user
yeah, that is it
square enix id is your mogstation id
square enix password is your mogstation password
you just login with your ffxiv account there
not the SE store login
you previously probably just pressed "forgot password" on the wrong site.
^
and not on mogstation
Is there a dungeon finding/farm discord? Looking to run hells lid for relic last step 😛
use party finder @toxic pond
you can log into SE store with mogstation (FFXIV) but you can't log into mogstation with SE store
yes, that's the wrong website
which is the wrong website
yeah just avoid the SE store website after you buy the game
and only use mogstation
ok im on it now currently, just curious if there was a faster optimization for it. 😄
Time for VVV to clear Mogstation (Savage)

that bracelet is for Disciple of War, your healer is Disciple of Magic
anyone got any idea on this?
i see that by the stats but it says all classes
any job can equip it that all
ok
hoping to get some help on behalf of a friend here - any assistance greatly appreciated.
he's got a Free Trial via Steam, and we've been unable to enter my Recruit a Friend code. attached is the image he sent me of what he sees when logged into Mog Station - it's totally different from everything i've been able to find via google.
i thought if we buy the Starter Edition that'll solve it, but that edition comes with a month subscription included, and you can't use a RAF code once you have an active subscription, apparently. therefore i'd like to know - if anyone knows? - if purchasing the Starter Edition, and putting that code into his Mog Station to upgrade his account to full status, will instantly preclude him from using my RAF code please? thank you very much for any help, we've struggled with this for a couple days now and all my research hasn't shown anything that looks like his situation. thank you!
The free 30 days don't count as active sub time
Can't enter a code on free trial
You enter the code AFTER buying the game but BEFORE paying the first month sub
thank you both, that's perfect and exactly what i was hoping to hear - thank you!!!
Does xp save once you hit the level cap as free trial?
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/3kzjru/is_there_any_way_to_lock_chat_during_combat/ so apparently those are shortcuts I never new I had... I hope this solves my problem of accidentally activating chat

is it possible to snapshot the game mid-ability and take screenshot while in a cool animation?
you can use /gpose to loop the last ability/emote you've done and get all sorts of camera angles
as well as apply effects and pause the animation
alchemy in heavensward has these things, what are they? is this an abandoned system or something i should know about?
It’s crafting material
Normal crafting mat
oh, so it's not usable? the description makes it look like so
It is usable, when crafting things that require it
well yeah.
the description just made me think of applying it to gear pieces or something
right click on any item, select search receipt using this item
you should be able to at least know it is a craft mat or not
Note how the tooltip says "crafting material", item descriptions are just fluff 😄
yeah i know, it just looks like something you right click use on an item. i understand that it's not usable now
frankly ffxiv tooltips are somewhat of a mess
important information is all over the place, and is often omitted entirely
it's the one aspect where i think wow wins out
I don’t have any issues with the tooltips really. Never felt like they haven’t told me what they are.
can some one explain the three icons on the top right of an item tooltip, like the middle look like a lock, the right look like the armoire?
crestable, glamourable, armoirable
ok, i keep forget it
The 3rd will almost never be there
Can I level up my gathering professions all in the diadem from 1 to 80?
Technically
No, diadem requires a minimum level of 10 (iirc)
You might be able to swap to a job below 10 once you're in there, not sure
Gatherer leves are better I’m pretty sure
But to enter you have to be 10+
Max level is 70 ?
80
Is there a boost that takes you to 60 all I see is 70s
Don’t think so. Boost starts you at the latest xpac. You could boost to 70 and make a dancer/gunbreaker. Both start at 60
Hrm how long do you think it would take somebody to get to 80 from boosting?
I bought a costume set from market how do I wear it
Delivery moogle I think
If you only buy the job boost a long ass time since you play to level the story to get good exp for your level
Depends on your patience for cutscenes. First job would be done through main story quests. Wouldn’t be hard to hammer it out there. Story is great though, harder to follow though if you boost. Maybe watch a YouTube recap if you care about story.
I need an Average Item lv of <x> for certain dungeons, you don't get all parts from a Dungeon, where do I get the other parts? I am lv49
Or do I just level?
Do your job quests
J-job quests? Do you mean the levemate things?
!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.
The ones at 2
So I kind of goofed I bought a story boost thinking it was a level boost so now I have a lvl 6 little dragoon and i should buy a level boost now and do the story on a different fresh character?
None below
Then do levelling roulette and you get your lv50 quest
Sorry what's a levelling roulette?
Imo do the story on a new character since you've missed all the msq exp
is there that little diffrence between the dps types?
for melle?
like I could go either or for rouge or dragon knight?
I want to play something that nobody really plays ... second guessing my dragoon pick atm.
lol just play w/e you can change classes
You can play all the jobs on one chracrer
Lol no
Most people multi class
And dragoon is very common for first players cuz the af armor looks great
also, its a pretty iconic ff job i believe
I was thinking of going rogue because I am catboy
but if I wanted to go back and play the story I'd have to make a new character right
and the dex would be a boost
also https://ffxivcensus.com/#class outdated but itll be dancer
i mean theres new game+
but im not sure how much those racial stats really make a difference in thel ong run
seems very little?
so im playing summoner and i did the scholar quest line so i can play as scholar when i unequipd the soul for summoner i cant equip the soul of scholar
There's really no measurable difference between races
You can new game plus the story but you won't get the exp so yeah new character and starting from scratch would be better imo, especially since its a very story focused game
You're taking about 1 or 2 points of whatever stat when at max level you'll have thousands
the more I talk to people about this the more it sounds that a lot of the classes are basicly the same as the others in their role type
which I don't think sounds like great game design
Well yeah... You can't play a tank spec dragoon
At baseline, yes, that's true.
All jobs are either dps, tank or healer
But each class has its own format for delivering.
All the jobs play differently
lol they play differently though
And the variety is there, not giving you a crap ton of different ways of playing ajob which can easily become a balancing nightmare
like how does a dragoon play diffrently over a rouge?
A tank is always going to play like a tank, a healer like a healer, etc.
rogue -> ninja
If my game crashes mid dungeon and I load back in, it should bring me straight back into the dungeon, right? If it loads me wherever I was prior to the dungeon, does that mean either the party completed it or they kicked me?
ninja does NINJITSU
They all play exceptionally different and are incredibly well balanced. It’s actually phenomenal game design.
Dragoon can’t ninja things
Ninjas can’t jump
You're combo is longer, you've different job meters, you're big dmg is from jumps, ninja does ninjutsu. They play completely differently
I pick lala dragoon cause smol person is funny jumper
people get hang up on classes so much, just try them all
Most likely kicked, as you'll remain in dungeon until it times out
yeah but we all have only so much free time
you might just stumble into liking a new class
ty
Also can I join dungeon in progress and still get the daily bonus?
If I bought a lvl boost for any other class other then my lvl 6 dragoon I could use it then or make new character
NIN is a burst combo class focused on debuffing the enemy and using Ninjutsu to deal damage. DRG is a more resource-based job whose primary idea is to maintain their buff through their basic combos then hit a big buff on cd.
So play a job that you enjoy? But you won’t know if you don’t try them.
would I turn into that job? I guess is my question

wdym
You can swap instantly
ty
Using the boost unlocks the job for you
Just make gear sets
while in gpose, is there a way to perform the last action frame by frame to pick the best one?
Your character can play every single job. Every one. You can switch at anytime. Level is attached to job.
When tanking does it matter if I face the boss or can I run with my back turned?
You kinda have to
yes, keep it away from party
Tf do you mean?
The boss is going to be constantly attacking you
and no you cannot hit backwards
You won't take more dmg with back turned
Like you said you could switch jobs .. so my dragoon if I bought a lvl boost for a black mage ... does my dragoon just poof into a black mage ? Or do I have to you know re roll a different character to whatever black mage equivalent is before it turns into black mage
No
And man, thought you were flare mage at first
you can have all classes on the same character
You change gearset bam you're a black mage
Jobs have seperate levels
Your current class is decided by whatever your main hand weapon is
If you're holding knives you're a rogue
If I equip a lance I am a dragoon. If I equip a book I’m an arcanist. If I equip a fishing rod I’m a fisher.
I see
A katana you're a samurau
So if I was to pickup Rogue, I would start at lvl 1
Etc etc
despite having other jobs at 80
yup
Ye
Yes
kk
Some jobs start at other levels though. (50+)
HW jobs start at 30 because jank
Machinist maybe 30?

Remember to do your roulettes
looking up more jobs
so archer turns into a ranged buff monkey?
for the party?
one it hits bard?
Isin't a new expansion coming out like this month?
Need to be lvl 50 to unlock at job that starts at 30
Sheesh
Nov
That's janky as hell
Which you'll have anyway cause otherwise you wouldn't be in hw
November.
Why the hell would they do that
It’s an expansion job. Was not in the base game.
🤷
november
I have 415 achievement points right now and 2 achievements certificate. I've spent 6 earlier but how do I get more?
Get more achievement points
You won't lose them when you convert to certificates but they'll only be converted once
Yeah but I feel like 8 certificates for 415 points is not a lot
You'll get a lot, no worries
Okay, thank you 🙂
it's 1 certificate per 50 points
Ohhhh!
once you get decently far in the game ,tehy just stack up
That'd make sense
Thank you so much
Oh by the way, are there more items later in the game from the achievements certificate vendor?
For duty roulette, does the once a day bonus stack/add up with adventurer in need bonus?
Not even worth going for imo
Is there level requirements for being able to mount
/cpose with weapon drawn counts for all jobs?
AIN is not worth unless you need materia tokens and can't find a hunt train
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
TLDR do msq
all jobs have 1 cpose per gender
So in the UI for duty roulette, are the exp/gil/seals shown under the "adventurer in need" are the rewards for everyone or are those only for the roles in need?
only for role in need
what i mean is, if i use /cpose on DRG for instance, does that extend to other jobs when i switch gearset, or does it only do that on the job i used the command with initially?
wdym
oh
uh, I can't tell you lmao
The cpose shouldn’t stick
not in game atm, asking for a guildmate
At least the job specific one
The game probably detects job and activates designated pose. It’d be a code loophole if it works.
hello i have an issue at moment, it says my character is logged in please allow few moments to log out. Its been 1hour my character still logged in for some reasons. That happened when i bought name change.
ok yeah it's universal
literally just wait in queue
be patient
you can't do weapon cpose for specific jobs
don't mash cancel and log in
i've been waiting in que for 1h? i didn't mash anything
huh.
send a support desk ticket or something
the GMs should be able to force a logout if that character is still logged in somehow
should i keep tarnished pieces from the alexander raids ?
Have you changed your name yet?
*via the SE support site, or on a second character
not really, since Shire will always be better
Glamour though!
The Savage drops are dyeable
i already have glamour i like
Then yeah just ditch the alexander stuff
The boss drop from a12 gets traded for a music roll, so if you care about that
should i level up gatherer before anything if im on trial?
Before crafters, if you're planning to do those
I’d probably dive into a job and msq. But nothing stops you from enjoying whatever you’d like to enjoy. Most people level that stuff together because the mats are needed by the crafters.
ye befor crafters
Noo racial combat traits when picking a new character right just cosmetic only ?
im done with msq, i just wanna ditch my gil into something
Just for looks
Ah okay. Your question said “before anything”
The ~5 points of difference literally mean nothing at current endgame
it's not significant enough to affect your DPS in any manner literally due to stat tiering
i think there are some stat differences, but theyre negligible on any level cap
They're negligible after lvl 5 
Any time frame i should expect answer from support?
We can't tell you because of how congested the game is
Can I ask if you guys sub monthly for the game or for whole year? I've just check the price seems good to me
Anywhere from immediately to maybe a few days
Monthly on entry
Which is the same rate per 30 days as the standard 180 day sub
and I only play using one character
Is Entry and Standard not the same?
I do monthly. Too much guilt from not enjoying other games should they come out. Can always re sub.
standard is up to 40 characters
ya i meant crafters
I've read them I just got confused
Entry is 2 bucks less if you buy 1 month at a time
!faq subprice
!faq subpriceeu
If I do 30 days only would that auto renew once its expired?
I balance work and game
Does for me, depends what you pick to pay i guess
is it worth just purchasing a full set of exarchic gear for my first character?
Thanks!
One more stupid question lol... You guys are usually 30days , 90days or 180 days sub ?
Just trying to get idea so that I will do the same... but yeah depends
There's no need to do standard sub unless you're like a extreme alt holic for whatever reason
You don’t need to sub for multiple months at once
so i finally started leveling a second job and i'm trying to customize my hotbars and actions, but i found that when i switch between my two jobs, the fourth/top row of icons doesn't change. so if i switch from DRK --> THM, my Interject, Arm's Reach, and Low Blow are still there on my THM hud, and vice versa (Blizzard I and II stay on my hud when switching back to DRK). any advice on how to manage this aside from manually having to adjust it every time?
how do i do that
Character configuration > hotbar > sharing
king shit
Shared hotbars will retain when swapping jobs
so there are master crafter tomes at lvl 50 that you need to buy with some specific materials. Are they worth it or do they all get obsolete above lvl 50?
there's some stuff in there that sells pretty well on the mb so you probably want them just for that
after a little research, i found out in order to get the 4 person mount in the rerun i will need MGP
