Aight nice
Is there a guide on where to get gear for each level?
tl;dr use poetics or buy HQ gear off the marketboard
is there anyway to obtain the somethingsomethingfiend coffer rather than skybuilder?
it's merely level 1 versions of the level 80 exclusive sets
For lower lvls just use job gear or stuff you get from dungeons
so you can buy em with yellow scrips
!faq gearguide
tl:dr for 50/60/70, get the gear you trade for tomestones of poetics
kk
Im having issues getting my nintendo pro switch controller to work with the game.
How do I use steam overlay?
Add the FFXIV client to your Steam Library.
hi I want to ask some tip about lvling blue mage. I got helper I used to lvl up to lvl 50 blue mage at here. I wonder where can I farm to lvl 70? anyone can give me tips?
any endgame Stormblood zone with level 69 mobs, OR the coast of kholusia
Specifically the beach near the amarokeep
this might be a stupid question. but whats the difference of a normal node from unspoiled and ephemeral node
Unspoiled = time limited, only appears once a window. Ephemeral = time limited but constantly respawns (you rotate nodes to make it appear again during the window)
the collectibles are all unspoiled right?
Notably, ephemeral items are mainly only used for reduction
what do you mean by rotate nodes?
ah got it
Nodes respawn after you tap I think 3 other nodes
By tap, I mean interact in some way or form
3 other nodes should be unspoiled also in the same area?
thx so much @slate arrow for info
Yea you explained it so well
read the gamerscape but it just gave me a list of the nodes
ffs
I don't think so, since there's now always 4 ephemeral nodes up as of the gathering rework
so you just rotate between all the ephemeral nodes during the active window
from the sound of it, it sounds rarer than unspoiled but that does not seem to be the case
should i just rush the MSQ and not do side quests?
I advise using Teamcraft or Garland Bell to keep track of node spawns. Ephemeral nodes in particular rotate between miner and botany every 10 mins or so
Up to you. I'd advise taking detours so you don't burn out
You do own shadowbringers, correct?
you'll just need level 60, which can be gotten by the tail end of ARR patch quests assuming you're doing your daily roulettes
Hey, I'm stuck on The Light of Inspiration quest... It requires for me to do role quests at Crystalium, so I did, but apparently it's a huge chainquest???
yes, the game told you this
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
glamours are level 100 in this game 
where can i buy them with yellow scrips?
Eulmore
the level 80 versions, that is
yo i just bought heavensward how do i start to access its content
do i have to complete post RR stuff
Yeah, thanks, I was actually on the last quest from those, just wanted to make sure
.... What. You can't buy Heavensward anymore, it's included in both the free trial and starter edition. And yes, it's locked behind ARR as the story is sequential.
i bought starter is what i meant
Does your retainer's job matter?
and okay cuz i was trying to level up to 55 i saw some recommendations that were in Heavensward but it seems those were for alt jobs i guess
For combat no, for gathering yes
I'm afraid I can't help you without more context, such as where you in the MSQ
Lvl 53, at A Time to Every Purpose, which requires lvl 55
question, read about ephemeral in reddit but why does it say that just go to the two other nodes and close it.
for it to respawn again
!quest A Time to Every Purpose
While others look forward to the impending royal banquet, Minfilia cannot help but look to the past.
Minfilia
The Rising Stones (X: 6.14 Y: 5.21)
Minfilia
Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (X: 11.12 Y: 11.63)
Ancient Ways, Timeless Wants
The Least among Us
Come, but Not Gone
why not mine all ephemeral? seems like a waste of time to go to othertwo and not mine them
You're still in the patch quests my guy
That's a level 50 quest
It's likely outdated tips. The gathering change happened with 5.3, I believe, which means anything older than a year is out of date
Before, there was only one ephemeral node, so you had to tap (interact, not gather) other nodes to respawn the ephemeral node
Quick question, what do I do with Radiant Fire Moraine?
Is the BiS a retainer can equip the lvl 70 Poetics gear?
The current quick venture cap is 428 ilvl and ~1700 gathering for combat and gathering respectively
!item radiant fire moraine
Luminous gravel elementally aspected to fire.

Retainers can equip gear over level 70?
I mined it, but not sure what to do with it. Looks like I can't turn it in?
Seems like it's an old reduction item. It's basically useless now.
Anyone know what this chest piece is called? I can't find it @,@
FFXIV Online Store
welp
It's from there I mean
tyty
what do i do with old white gear ? cant put on marketboard because binding
They can equip whatever gear they're at for their level yes
Which is determined by your level in their job
desynth or sell
*vendor sell
It's an aetherial reduction item. I don't remember where you unlock it, however...
It's said in the description. If there's no ilvl sync, it syncs to the maximum, which is 135@50, 275@60, 405@70, and 535@80 once Endwalker drops
Btw for blue
Is suzaku skill the best dps skill it has?
And can I boost it with whistle/something else?

Thanks @slate arrow 🙂
no, your best DPS skills will be pressing all of your primal spells during your burst window. That being said, the best immediate DPS spell is Mantra Magic I believe? It's entirely dependent on what kinda DPS you're going for, since Final Sting is a thing.
!action Final Sting
Deals physical damage with a potency of 2,000 while incapacitating self.
Additional Effect: Inflicts Brush with Death on self
Duration: 600s
Effect will not be removed upon revival or further incapacitation.
Cannot be executed while under the effect of Brush with Death.
A desperate mage's last resort, this technique converts all of the user's life force to an aetherial poison that is then injected into a single adversary. Suffice it to say that, as with the physical sting of the wespe, it should not be relied upon in but the most dire of circumstances.
Killer Wespe / Middle La Noscea (15, 15)
Type: Physical
Aspect: Piercing
Rank: 2
final sting is usually what you do to finish a fight
matra magic is only worth it with DPS mimicry, never take it with anything else
but just run all the primals you can really
Again, it's entirely dependent on what sort of 'build' you're going for, and what content.
Yeah, I meant in case I don't wanna die
dps spells don't really change, your spells change more for tank and healer
For the mount (so exs, savage)
I'd recommend asking here. Since you still need a semi-standard comp, just made of BLU mages
Understandable, thanks
the person who runs the server also has an entire guide series on youtube dedicated to blue mage
for any piece of content you can think of
Except ultimate 
if the situation ever presents itself, Saintly Beam is the best filler spell
!action saintly beam
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Potency increases to 500 when used against undead enemies.
Cast by, of all things, a phantom train, this purifying light burns away restless spirits and consumes tainted souls. In Garlemald, where travel by machina is commonplace, the tale is told of a spectral locomotive whose passengers are the spirits of the dead...
Phantom Train / Sigmascape V1.0
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 2
500 potency on undead
bit expensive on the MP, though. double the cost of most filler GCDs
I am at the last quest of Shadowbringers, the raid requires 410 armor level, how do I get it?
I am at 407
he actually can't do tomestones
you got the armour from grenoldt right
until he finishes shadowbringers (the quest itself)
interesting
but I mean, he should have more than enough at this point to buy some crafted gear
and the story IIRC literally gives you a 430 set too
spend some gil buying exarchic gear
Where at
marketboard
it will serve as a more than sufficient stepping stone to get into even the highest level endgame content
anybody keeping an eye on prices and discounts? I want to get the collectors edition upgrade. was on discount like a week ago. how often does it go on discount?
After I finish the expansion, I can get gear from tomestones, amirite?
you can get 490/520 gear from tomestones, exarchic is 510 and upgrade-able to 520
the 520 tomestone gear is limited to 900 a week
Limited to 900?
900 tomes
I see
it costs like 4k+ to get the whole set.
Is there anyway to use Legacy camera, but to have left-click function as it does in Standard?
anywhere to look at relic weapons and armors screenshots? online I can only find icons
is concept matrix hard to use/install?
no and no
nope
reeeeeeeee
you install it
and you use it
straightforward
ty 🙂
Do you need to progress in the story to see npcs selling poetics gear in Rhalgr's Reach?
Can i get regula's helmet in any way?
you need to have finished SB msq
for the scaven gear
what does the star next to a colelctable exchange mean?
ilvl 400
Heya, I registered for a free trial via Square Enix's site but I want to buy the complete edition on Steam. Will my character transfer from trial or I'd have to make a new one?
you will keep everything
your account just gets ugraded
Ok, thanks for info!
bonus experience
but scrip rewards stay the same?
but the ones appearing with star are level 80s
scrip reward increases too, IIRC
How do You get better gear at level 50?
Poetics in Mor Dhona
!faq poetics
Thanks
if you haven't done it, complete your level 50 job quest too
that gives a set of i90 gear from a coffer.
Ohh thanks
Will do that then i ll do the poetics for the i120 gear
130 gear
same cost as the 120 but better stats
Noted
What is the difference between casting Raise regularly and putting it in a /ac Raise <t> macro?
I thought it would put my action in chat to alert 2nd healer, but it doesn't.
The difference is now you've macroed a gcd skill
Is it the same as casting it normally?
heya Evelynn, do I use item codes? if so where can I find a list please?
model IDs or something for the gear
wait nevermind, I got it
I havent got to shadowbringers yet, but im already getting tomestone of allegory and the other weekly capped one - what can i spend them on?
you can't spend them yet.
how do i leave a level quest?
it keeps staying in my damn duty list
there is only initiate and map
not leave
leve*
Is it one you started or have not started yet?
im trying to unlock some extreme arr trials but the npc is not giving me the quest that i need, more specifically the howling eye extreme trial one. Do i need to do something else before this?
not started yet
it's because it's directly tied to a sidequest, named something like "Leves of x"
If you can't abandon that quest then you're forced to complete the leve to get it out of your quest list
Have you completed Garuda/Ifrit/Titan Hard?
i think so , becouse i needed to do those for msq i think
the extreme versions are also unlocked in that sequence
but howling eye should be the first
yes i just confirmed it i did those hard trials already
Go to Journal > Completed Quests > Chronicles of a New Era - Primals > check for the quest "Primal Nature"

Ok, bit of a weird situation for me.
Left side is all Augmented Exarchic, 520
Right side is all normal Exarchic, 510
Been saving up some revelation tomes.
I'm a bit torn on whether I should spend them on upgrading right side Cryptlurker (to have everything on 520)
Or if I should buy left side Cryptlurker and remain at my current iLvl but open up the possibilities of upgrading that.
In addition to this, if I do that, I wonder if I should still bother upgrading right side to Augmented Exarchic or if that would be a waste 
ty for the help
check your BiS and see what you need
what is the best way to farm white gathers scrips?
you can start focusing your Allegory on tomestone materials to sell for gil
also upgrading cryptlurker is easy rn
namely the stuff that costs 20
do all BTN/MIN white scrip nodes as they spawn
Custom Deliveries give you a fair bit for not much effort
so the collectables turn in at eulmore?
yes
i mean id need cryptlurker either way, right?
unless i'm somehow mistaken in believing that 530 > 520
allright
you don't need cryptlurker
it's more realistic for me to get than savage raid gear 
then yeah, get the accessories first i guess
better iLVL
Any tips for making gil?
anyone have any ideas about whether skysteel tools will be upgraded further in endwalker
they won't.
for pizza - if you have lv 78 cul you can make 1.8m by turning in all 99 cookie levequests
ahh ): what a shame, maybe its not worth to get them then. ty
easiest way - dungeon gear into gc seals into glamour prisms into market board
That does sound like a good idea
Easier to do than taking Culinarian up to 78 from like 6
Plus any amount of gil would be nice since I'm on 80k lmao
thanks!
heya i 80 culi and was wondering if any of guys know which food is good to get profit since i need money im on chaos omega. and since i think its going to be a masters recipe how do i get yellow scrips easily?
what do i do with augmented exarchic pieces that i no longer need?
normal exarchic i can just sell back i suppose
put 'em in a retainer and keep 'em there
for anima weapon which steps are best used with poetics? aether oil, umbrite, archaic enchanted ink, pneumite, 40 unidentifiable items?
to what end
Until you're leveling an alt job that needs them 
You would have to do your own research
but i already have the better gear, thats why i no longer need it 😂
Since people will not kindly give out money-makers
Are all of your jobs 80 and fully geared up with BiS?
no, but if for example i have a full set of cryptlurker fending gear, i dont need a set of exarchic gear @regal pawn
HQ Blood Bouillabaisse should always sell for ~2.7k+ per since they are needed for better stats
i can just skip a whole step, basically
What does Paladin being the flagship job for Endwalker mean, is Paladin getting a big update in Endwalker or something?
afaik, nope
then put it on your retainer
not much
Does being the flagship job have any significance?
only DRG really got some cool stuff for HW
which was some chars calling you the azure dragoon
man it kinda sucks that the best use of this would be retainer/gc seals, apparently 
thats about it
can i un-augment it so i can sell it again? 
i think you already know that answer
would be nice for some extra gil to buy altjob exarchic
..damn. i thought id just turn them in for certs and then buy the regular pieces with them
then i realized
no. theyre crafted.

Hello guys I can’t find hume lot in the crystarium to get the hunt quests need it for deepshadow twine
Help

is there a good way to level up armorer desynth? Im buying cheap stuff and keep desynthing it, but I guess that will slow down a lot
the rev version is for ilvl 520 weapon
i see, thanks
looks like buying thylacoleo skin is gonna be the best value
Thanks
Did the server had a rollback cause of dying last night?
Where would be the right place to ask for help finding a certain music track
Sadly I have a complete lack of information.
It's in my head
I can't sleep trying to remember where it's from
All I can point out is it starts with horns/trumpets
It's very energetic. Like you are fighting some.powerful and ominous
After a few blasts from horns it has a very intense string section to really drive the tension
I think it's from a eureka boss
That's all I did today besides pvp
A video showing the Hydra fight that's part of the relic reborn chain with all but the BGM muted. The track is called Torn from the Heavens, and can be found in several places in game and on the latest OST from Square Enix.

This?
Quick question, do normal trials and raids have enrage?
Not that one no
Some do
Generally no, but there’s a few rare ones.
Okay, just finished Shadowbringers... Which gear should I get, I am only level 417
Asking for blue
Halicarnassus of O3 has a really long one at like 20-something minutes
And Deathgaze Hollow of Dun Scaith when the entire platform becomes black squares

BGM for the final boss of the lost city of Amdapor, Diabolos. It's also used on the tam tara deepcroft hard boss, so players are starting to call it the voidsent boss theme.

with endwalker being this close is there a point to trying to get pentamelded aesthete gear? Would I be better off just getting the scrip gear to get ready for next expac?
Nono not brute either
Pretty much no
I would get the aesthete gear but I wouldn’t penta meld.
oh okay so aesthete >>> the white script gear?
HQ crafted is always better than scrip gear.
Aesthete is better than the white scrip gear once you meld it
Just fill up all the visible slots and then overmeld each piece one or two times
Grades 7 and 8, of course
if you dont plan to meld get the white scrip gear
You can use extra scrips from custom deliveries to meld without spending any gil.
Maybe if I try to write out what I hear

does anyone know if there's a dedicated channel or EU discord for daily maps? feels such a waste not being able do do them at least once every day
hey guys, should i complete the third eden series before completing 5.3 msq
chronologically speaking
chronologically it takes place after 5.3
I'm able to use Enochian in PotD and noticed that after I use Blizzard IV it gives me a set of ice stacks?
3 umbral hearts, yeah
Each of which nullifies the increased mp cost of one fire spell during fire phase
Meaning you can cast more fire 4
oohhh
okay ty for explaining
so when im trying to regain mana i should switch to B4?
B4 does not grant regular ice stacks
so b3 and then b4?
So you use b3 to switch over then cast one b4
Can you make area music loop quicker? Theres some time of quiet in between
ok! ty
oh neat
No.

check the marketboard
we cant tell you since prices are different on different servers
How do you get logo crystals in eureka ?
will dragon sight stack on another player ?
do u know any easier ways to check MB then to go and manually search ?
There isn’t an easier way.
crap
You mean multiple tethers on a single person?
you can use universalis or kupo bot !market command for a rough idea, but it's not live updated so won't be accurate
I’m pretty sure it does not. But I could be wrong.
ok, the graphic stacks and shows 2, so i was wondering if it did the same w/ effect
As a general rule of thumb: buffs of the same name do not stack
kk
better if i do it manually
Sidenote: 2 dragons can buff each other though
ahh good to know 🙂
Because the buffs have different names
imagine a whole bozja party with dragoons all buffing each other-
heh
I play FF14 on two PCs. Is there a way to sync the two so action bars are the same?
Upload it to server and download
That can be done in character select
And is the closest you can get to syncing
Is there a way in endgame to customize which secondary stats will my gear have, or is all gear preset and cannot be changed?
the only gear that has customizable substats are relic weapons
other than that every piece of gear is set, aside from the materia you slot in them
but that only adds substats, it doesn't change what is already there
What if I, for example, like a dragoon item more than my tank item
then you should still go with the tank item
substat optimization doesn't matter at any point below lvl 80 anyway
Yeah I guessed so much
(also beyond lvl 50 dragoon gear can only be equipped by dragoons while tank gear can only be equipped by tanks)
Well that's what I mean

I like that item more, but can't equip it
then you're shit out of luck
how often does castrum lacus litore spawn?
Its an hour after the last one iirc but timer goes down as more ces are completed
is there a way for me to check it?
if you leave and rejoin you may not get the same instance
but I know some people leave and rejoin until they get an instance where it's relatively close
which may or may not be a feasible approach for you
oh I see
It should, there's no reason it shouldn't
Bug then Iguess.
Are you sure? It only increases by spending aetherflow
<.<
It's just weird since Zadnor gives me the gauge.
But it does nothing.
Presumably Ineed Aetherpact to even use Fairie Gauge Iguess.
If I put a glamour on a random item, and then get rid of the original, when I use the random item as glamour what will I get? the random item glamour, or the original item which I got rid off?
Sorry if it's confusing 
so is the dwarven set or landsaint set better for gatherer?
dwarven has two materia slots
hello i've been doing dragoon missions after finished heavensward and i must say im confused: SPOILERS
||why am i the azure dragoon and i have the eye, but when doing heavensward, estinien was alive and well ? i dont get how everything adds up||
how can i hard target with gamepad?
will I get a castrum notification no matter where I am?
You have to be in the southern front to see it.
Chronological goonery
don't think too hard about it
it will act like any other CE
both in terms of how people are notified and how you can sign up for it
You can’t copy an item’s glamour on to another. You have to have the original.
Aight thanks
I forget the exact timing but it’s 6 a day in two batches of 3.
I'm about 10% of level 48 and want to get to 49
which would be better? running Aurum Vale one more time or the duty roulette?
hello! I just did my first trial, the bowl of embers
i don't think my question will be a spoiler but imma mark it just to be sure
||So in the cutscene leading up to the fight, there were a few NPCs captured with me. When the fight begun I was with 3 other players, and then in the following cutscenes it was just me, and the NPCs spoke as if I beat the dragon on my own. It's a bit confusing to me, how does that work?||
tl;Dr ||it's somewhat ambiguous if the instances via duty finder are by yourself or with others. In any case, you're the main reason why ifrit was defeated, and the Amajali were forced to retreat.||
||You always do trial with fellow warrior of light|| the game will mention this later on, i think post arr, leviathan
They really hang the lampshade in Stormblood instances. "Adventuring friends who happen to be conveniently fishing nearby"
Yes
The instance cutscenes yes, the MSQ / Post duty cutscenes no
that's great, i love stuff like that
Because it's not about them it's about you first and foremost. But it's implied you always happen to have friends or a party nearby in most cases somehow.
i look forward to more trials, this was the most engaging in fight in the game so far
That being said, could always take a chance and just make up your WoL's party, maybe try your hand at writing. It is an RPG after all.
not a bad idea, but I love playing with other people and having a constant stream of new characters to do content with
i just thought that the other players showing up would be shown and explained somehow
Gather your fellow adventurer and do the dirty job, that is what npc tell you
but i guess it would be hard to explain why they're also "special"
It's not really explained. Why? To encourage player freedom in interpretation, probably. They focus on making the content fun first, at any rate.
Compromises made to get a functional game
Otherwise we would be stuck asking questions like "why would a vendor carry 99 eggs just so I can buy all of them, what happened if I didn't"
does using unsynced when you can stop you getting some rewards? i know some duties cannot be unsynced, like ultimates, but if the ability's there and you can do it, is there much difference between synced/unsynced in terms of things you get?
don't remind me of 1.0 ......
hey do I do Aurum Vale one more time or duty roulette
I'm looking to get from 48 to 49 for msq
Open duty finder, look at the dungeon tab
With the mob drop changes, not really anymore, since all the important loot drops from the chests
Look for Aurum vale
yeah the more i think about it the less sense it makes, with all the different sized and modelled player characters it would be hard to make good animations for every cutscene
Have you already done duty roulette today
no
do that
pk
At least the eye line lines up
"my sincerest apologies" said a lalafell NPC as they stare at your knee
how do i unlock mentor roulette? i have 2410 commendation and beat diamond ex and everything before it
Then you just need to unlock battle mentor, I believe
you need the dungeon reqs as well I think
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Mentor_System_and_Novice_Network i have everything listed here for battle mentor
1500 commends, one of each lvl 80 role quest
You also need to beat every normal raid, dungeon and trial
As well as every extreme trial up to stormblood

when you have battle mentor, you can run mentor roulette
Which means you also need to have basically finished hildi brand up to stormblood
oh i found the npc. i didnt know i have to actually speak to somone to unlock it
What do I do with my Allagan Tomestone of Poetics at 80?
!faq poetics
ty
thank you!
Is it all all possible to solo coils of bahamut?
I just want to get the story content
yup, though it requires a much higher level than the intended one
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
and stuff like nael can still be annoying solo, cause it requires either good dps to skip mechanics or you at least need to know some of them
(which aren't too hard though)
so my toolbar for my squadron went missing, thing i dragged it offscreen or something not sure what happened
how much can you sell a max level FC for?
You can open it again via your actions and traits menu I think
@slate arrow thanks, found it under orders but thats a lifesaver, you know where the keybinds are located/what they are called in settings?
Which keybinds
for orders, the toolbar for squadron
aside from just slapping them on my toolbar straight from the orders menu
the latter is how you bind em
oh alrighty
still figuring this game out, been a while since ive had to manage this many keybinds+UI coming from GW2
(fwiw I never did bind em because I just clicked em like some sort of weirdo)
yea fair enough
are there settings for audio cues for uhh procs for spells/skills e.g. bards bloodshot etc
straight shot and so on, cause looking down at the hotbar all the time seems..inneficient
how do i gift something to someone from the mogstation? I can't click this
wasnt there a buy as gift button?
probably before you put it into the basket
Procs usually trigger a relevant buff, but you're expected to keep an eye on your job gauge and/or floating buff text. You get used to it, especially as encounters are much slower compared to what I've seen of guild wars
that's the button i pushed to get there
Are fantasias on sale, currently?
fair enough, keep and eye on buffs seems to make sense
Yessir
You cannot gift on sale items. They made a post about it on the Lodestone recently.
just used to audio feedback/audio cues but small price for this level of customization that is my UI
that would explain why my friend is now a Lala
where can i get 430 accessories from? ty
There are some audio cues, but not for stuff that's a part of your main rotation. The buff effect does trigger when relevant, like for Straight Shot ready on Bard.
amaurot drops 430 accessories iirc
The twinning, akademia anyder, and amurot
great ty
You cannot gift on sale items. They made a post about it on the Lodestone recently.
ty
yea the some but not all system can be..confusing ill have to keep a eye on things but its not horrible, but was a major negative for bard once i started fiddling with the class for a bit in POTD
You just get used to it, in the simplest of terms.
there's addons that can give more obvious proc notifications
eh after WoW i try to avoid all but the most necssary addons, ended up having addons thatd basically play the game for me after a bit
the other option, is to just make a keybindless hotbar and put it closer to the centre of your field of view and put all the proc abilities on it
since every proc is directly linked to an ability and hotbars do have proc indicators
problem of course with that is I don't think you can make hotbars that can be clicked through
There's no "necessary" plugin for playing the game
Plenty of high end players on console
im not saying there are necessary addons for FF14 im just saying in general for games
yeah none of them are necessary, just extremely convenient/useful additions
for various ui shortcomings
e.g. skyrim unnoficial patch otherwise you spent 3 weeks modding and 2 sleepless nights
Are there any jobs where 3 hotbars is not enough?
All jobs can be played with controller
Only one I'd say gets a little tight is gnb and I don't use all the extra hotbars
Hey, what's this little icon?
Busy
Oh? Cool, didn't know that was a thing
what mechanics/new features came with ShB? im there now and slowly making my way in
hopefully its not considered spoilers
Trusts, Explorer dungeons, ishgard restoration
Play dungeons with npcs
Let's you run dungeons with smart npcs
Like squadrons but with actually good ai
so squadrons but not dumb as rocks
Said ai is still nerfed so duty finder groups are better/faster
But they do have unique dialogue and interactions
and explorerer dungeons?
I am being deliberately vague cuz spoils
Says what it does on the tin
oic
Photo mode dungeons
Let's you explore dungeons
are these mechanics unique only to ShB content/level bracket stuff? or stuff below it
Trusts are ShB only
Explorer extends to 70 dungeons
Explorer mode is gradually being extended. Currently 70-80 dungeons
Level 70-80 dungeons
But for example no kugane Castle as that's 67
Gfdi
I'll call it good when they actually aoe my multipulls 
Hello hello, I have a question regarding a treasure map in lakeland
even if they did AoE, their dmg would be neutured
They can't make them better than an actual df group
because they are very specifically designed to take a certain amount of time
Wouldn't be fair
so whether they AOE or not is moot point
has anyone seen this map before?
got tired of msq, wanna lvl a mech whats the best way to get lvl 30 gear?
Isnt duty leveling roulette bugged? I need 3,5 M exp to level up And I got 290k from levelling roulette
vendor gear is fine at that leve
l
I didnt do roulette for 3 days
Did you get a trial
cant find that map on any of the treasure map sites 
Nope, lvl 57 dungeon
what vendor tho?
you'll still take damage iirc
If the server doesn't catch yiu
ah ok
takes decent timing
neither can I, it's so weird
combat gear vendor in any of the main cities should have 30-39 gear
If the server catches you
learned that the hard way in dohn meg
like is this your own personal map?
a friend got it from the wondrous tails
Is it a 1 man map or an 8 man
we been looking around for nearly an hour yet we find nothing
think it's an addon or something that shows the Hunt spawns
ah yeah, can you just turn it off
looking at map doesn't need addon like this, easy enough
how long does it take to get gae bolg novus? (5th of 8th step arr relic)
the screenshot is not mine, it's from a party member
what is the setting to show enemy hp numbers, not just bars
No, but there is a percentage option
The numbers get kinda ridiculous over time anyways
fair, where is percentage option?
quite long if you don't have lv 80 yeah
I do have a 520 drg
can i drop my party finder in recruitment or there's a channel for that?
That's recruitment but it's not often used for that so no promises

It's subjective but the book part is the most grindy part of the questline
in my opinion
ok thanks
so yeah, It can takes a week or more depending on your playtime
How do I get leve allowances so I can start the crafting missions
or you can just rush it in few days if you are so gung ho about it
leve allowances naturally accumulate over time
I don't think I have it activated on my account because none of the levemates are showing up for crafting
Like the icon is not showing up
you can see how many leve allowances you have by looking at the bottom of the journal
there's nothing to activate to start earning them. but unlocking the levemetes themselves are a different matter
you naturally get 3 every 12 hours
Oh ok
what leves a levemete depends on the levemete itself
like for instance you're only going to find goldsmith 1-15 leves in uldah areas, not gridania
hmm doesn't seem that bad
I'll do it for the purple
So I am still on trial on the retail version of the game but I found out that is easier and cheaper for me to buy the game through steam is there any way to switch to steam now or I will have to start over?
How can I find out what's the latest level quests for my crafting job
lv20 and 25 leves are in quarrymill
can't switch as far as i know...i was the opposite on steam but wanted to change to the SE versions since it was cheaper
Trial to steam works
Oh really? I was about to say goodbye to 2 weeks of gameplay
It's the ONLY time you can swap
ok maybe it was just steam trial to SE version that didn't
Once you touch steam you're locked
Well outside steam the game is like
30% more expensive
and it has better payment methods for me
a lot of that depends on which store has a sale going on too....i got mine from the SE store for like $25, on steam it was $50 or $60
Hello guys my item level 420, what’s the best thing to do to raise it fast
How does the level limit for NIN's Hide work in Eureka? Is it 10 elemental levels as well?
How do i get logos Actions?
anyone with a 2 seat mount on Сhaos DC who can help me?
is there a macro command to mute/unmute BGM?
the command is /bgm 0-100
oh wait you want a toggle
using truth of mountains = localization of legendary materials?
you can see the notification on minimap
yes
I unlock with some books?
unspoiled legendary node
work for both folklore and that
without book, there already like 15 unspoiled legendary nodes in each expansion, each book unlock like 2-3 nodes in each region
For wildfire, do you need to attack the same target you wildfired or is any target fine?
ah alright
Best way to increase item level, I’m 425 need to get to 435 for raid
Does anyone know which channel/how to ask questions related to Kupo-bot character verification procedure? I'm not sure if this is FFXIV related or Discord-related
what's the grindiest relic weapon?
Zodiac or first time eureka
ohh
Do Eden, drops 450 gear for the first tier
oh thanks a bunch!
What’s Eden
8man raid for Shadowbringers
Eanea is also here too
Firdt tier gets you into first tier of nier, to get into second tier of eden to get into second tirr of nier etc
You just bounce between Eden and nier to gear up
where do I get the tomes from?
Thanks
tryna download the game and it says "unable to install patch" like half an hour in what do ido?
can I extend my minimap?
I’ve done all the alliance raids to unlock the bozjan southern front but still can’t access it
Cause you need 5.1 completed
Then the continuation of the bojzan story appears in gangos
I finished the shadowbringers quest line, there’s still more
I can’t install the base game I keep getting a “ unable to install patch “ popup any help?
I have but this is like the 5th time
Do I just gotta keep doing it until it finishes?
But has the bar progressed each time
Yeah
Then yes, until it’s done
So once I complete all 5.1 quests I should get bozjan
The quest will appear in gangos
is there way to track support ticket?
Thanks
Best mount anyone that’s not hard to farm
Subjective
Looking for a really cool mount
Ex trials ones?
Also subjective

Y'shtola sometimes does this cute gesture when she taps her face with her closed fist slightly, is that an emote you can unlock or use?
folklore book is attained by exchange script at Idyllshire (the first to have it), and natural unspoiled node you just be there at the right time and harvest it
as for the minimap, you should look at chat
its female miqo'te /hmm emote
i don't have a /hmm
there will be notification of legendary/unspoiled node when you enter the area that they currently available, just follow the minimap indicator by then @opaque heart
boo
can I make the text bigger? I just miss it too often
the text popup
its not consider
too
Is piloting a raid for your sibling considered breaking ToS?
enlarge the chat box but highly not recommend, you should enlarge the minimap instead and everytime you enter a zone, look at it, a sparking golden/blue color will appear that very hard to miss if any available
hi all, just worth doing the ARR raid at level 54?
how to enlarge minimap
that counts as account sharing so yes
it can be.
but I cant zoom it out further
just trying to get aetherpool lvls and hoards in HoH, asking early on if we can avoid skipping rooms for it,
I get ignored and people keep skipping rooms, the few times some people atually do listen to me, the rest get toxic and say
"gacha only gives cosmetics" "waste of time" "most of them are crafteable".
What am I doing wrong here? From what I could find I cant craft most of the items from HoH,
and the ones I can, are super expensive
You have to do crystal tower, and coils is very difficult synced
@still fable crystal tower is very easy but in terms of gear you get from it it's not worth it, just get the augmented ironworks 130 ilvl gear instead
ok ty
the ironworks is the better than the gears from dungeons?
have to do crystal tower anyway once to progress MSQ
yes
ironworks augmented gear is the best gear for level 50 that is easily accessible
Poetics gear is endgame gear from the very end of old expansions
most people who que into HoH are looking for quick clears for xp, not aetherpool
might wanna find a group, the more the merrier
That’s just ARR
that's for ARR, where you can take more than 3 quests a day for a tribe. for the expansions you are limited to 3 quests a day anyway (reputation rank up gets you 3 more for that day)
You can only do 12 quests total a day, 3 per day for expansion tribes
The Expansion tribes only give 3 quests each per day
I dont get the logic of queue into random groups for fast xp, why not make a fixed group that is set on speedrunning then? o_0
do the ones you want really, there's not much difference
There’s 5 tribes so someone is gonna get left out each day
bc dungeons give more xp than HoH, and its DPS who are their bc queue time is ass
hello, there is difference between chaos and light data center?
nope
People are only in Hoh for xp
fixed requires 4 persons involved while matched is just fire away
but you should come to chaos, spriggan anyways 
okay, going for it ahah
why spriggan?
I'm there 
no need for potions
no class
you can change your class at any time, just by equipping the weapon of another class
Just unlock the job
race*
Fantasias
(assuming you have unlocked it)
oh yeah, fantasia
you get one for free for a lvl 50 msq
otherwise you gotta buy them for cash
so i can swap from viera to a male in case i want to?
Yes
yes
anyone know how to prevent the life/mana bars and minimap from appearing during dialogue scenes ?
become male viera 👁️
ahahhah, would be a pretty sick add on
i was talkin more like to any other male race, im not used to do female character, but i like the viera
@robust sluice i recommended doing ixali every day, and cycle the other 4. Ixali takes the longest
i have a very important question
male viera are coming with Endwalker
can i get this coat?
no joke
yes, on the store
dangit
when does collectable exchange items change?
insane ahahahah
no joke
rarefied stuff, never
mmmmh
only custom deliveries change
i think that female is more cool tho
oh
Consider
Femboy Viera
@echo moat you could download the endwalker bench mark, it features a character creation where you can make a male viera
☝️
what's that? the bench mark i mean
it lets you test your computer to see if it can run the upcoming expac
where do I get the recipe to craft the summer indigo shirt or some of the other glamor items
!faq benchmark
thats the main purpose, but plenty of ppl use it for the character creation
A benchmark is a 'performance assessment' of your pc. It runs a series of scenes and see how well your computer performs
okay okay, cool thx
ahh boo, that cute hood on a miqote doesn't get double ears. disappointed.
For pvp stuff, do they allow matchmaking? Or is it premades only?
i wanted to be a double cat
@glad robin matchmaking yes
Most commonly is frontlines since its party of the duty roulette
become a bunny cat combo
@glad robin iirc its all team based. I've never played the other pvp modes like feast or rival wings so I'm not too sure
But frontline is a 24vs24vs24
Oh okay cuz I see a challenge to get like 1K marks. Can I just spam feast?
apparently there's a cat ears headband. i will get that and become double cat
I need wolf marks mostly
@glad robin just do frontline roulette daily then
Its minimally 1550 marks per day. 1k from daily bonus, 550 from 3rd place finish
Plus its good exp for your alts.
500 for 3rd

frontline roulette is unlocked when you unlock frontlines. which is done via quest called "like civilized men and women" and is at your grand company hq
Ohh okay
hello friends
i have a question
if i go into Palace of the Dead with a party, and i get bonuses to my armor, does that carry over into a solo run?
or do the bonuses only stick with a save file?
Anyone have a housing macro preset I could copy please?
Housing macro?
Yeah for buying a house
There is none
Mash that button
im new to the game and wondering if theres a faster way to travel rather than walking
also remember you can teleport
^^^
Always attune to the shiny rocks
airship and ferries exist too
its just that i died and spawned back at the town which is so far away
Just teleport to the closest aetheryte to where you died then
also favored destination for discounts
tho idk, an you change them later? Im assuming so right
You can change them ye
Helllo,, just finished ARR how many quests do i have until HS? I m in Ul Dah with them rn
hi, i want to get namazu bell. i found it is in azim steppe but is it dawn throne or reunion?
||About 80|| but I REALLY wouldn't bother knowing @bitter siren
Like, it sounds bad but it's a lot better quality compared to 2.0 though the first patch is slow
namazu bell is from the namazu beast tribe quest vendor
And it's super fucking important
Alrightyy
you gotta unlock the namazu beast tribe and rep grind to unlock it
Is it possible to change a macroicon with that of an item? I've seen old threads on the forums and reddit implying it is possible but it doesn't seem to work for me. Thank you
You need the item on you for it to work
It worked with Soul of the Carpenter. Is it limited to certain stuff?
For example I want to try it with Frantoio Oil
You need to have the item
^
You need to have the item physically on you

Weird, it worked for coffee biscuit. I might be mispelling the thing. Thank you everyone who answered!
any other way to get friendship circlet?
Should I try to do all my crystarium deliveries before I grind firmament to get to lvl 80?
Very good xp, might as well I guess
Also gives good scrips and stuff
gotcha, thanks!!
will scaevan be any use for starting reaper, from past experience with new classes?
Yes
^ would be the best gear you can get at the start
Since it starts at 70
and better than the stuff you'll be given from the unlock quest
(also unlock quests don't give accessories)
cool, thanks
just hit 80 and am at ilvl423, is there any gearing guide upto current patch?
it's confirmed that it'll be maiming right
Just remember to keep some poetics spare at the start of EW so you can buy the weapon at launch
Yes
Yes @zealous flower
Got all the Riding maps from Hunt Billmaster for Allied Seals. What else, static collectible, can I go for with Seals?
!faq gearguide
Didn’t need them
Flight is already max speed
If you've already gotten everything from them and the blu vendor just buy aetheryte tickets imo
So only the maps and then stuff from blue vendor, that's it? Where do I get the tickets?
Normal allied vendor
ok thanks I'll look into that!
What level does Machinist start at?
what is chocobo race for?
30
Allied seals are the unofficial blu mage currency. And there are more unlockables from the vendor as you do the blue mage story and masked carnivale
Mgp
Fun and gold saucer currency
Oh right I still gotta do the last carnivale fight, thanks for reminding me!
Git gud 
I need help
Ask your records store where the beatles albums are
hi, how to get friendship circlet without referring a friend to subcribe to ffxiv?
If I pre order endwalker on stream I have 2 code
Pre order and standard edition . So the standard edition how do I redeem it ? I have the code and idk where to redeem
The gold saucer lady tells you where to go
Until endwalker launches
You can't redeem the actual game code(standard) until early access
Ok thanks
You shouldn't even have the standard code yet but steam is dumb
How do we get back to the big ship dungeon entrance for sirensong?
Is there a way to revisit that ship area
New game plus otherwise no afaik
try moraby drydocks?
Lemme check that out
