ye
if you dye a piece and put in ur dresser, you wont have to dye again
unless its a different glmaour
good to stretch expensive dyes, though you may regret using a common pink down the road XD
just dye it again on your plate
You can just buy more
Gonna be a while before I make it, haven't gotten too much into the scrips system
As for buying yeah you are right, I am in that broke mindset but now that I got millions on hand I can afford to buy quite a bit
It’s 100 skyscrips, you get 5x that per fete session
that's still 30 mins :p
yeah feel free to change the base colour, can dye it again on your plate
if you don't like it
30 minutes of pretty low effort scrips
and you get the chance of getting glamour items through the gifts
And the rarer dyes
And you can always multitask and craft between fetes
What are fetes?
I just have my weaver at 50 and then saw what the ishgard restoration needs and noped out of there
the firmament is pretty self-sufficient in getting the items needed
fastest way now too get alexandrite (ARR relic novus step)
is spamming mysterious treasure maps one can byu for 75 tomestones?
you only need one material per craft that's not skybuilder
By noped I mean stopped crafting until I finish msq
yes that's the best method, each map gives 5 alexandrite
can female au ra use the pompadour hair? ||the one josuke has from jojo||
yes
and even if you byu all the mats they are pretty cheap on the market board
thats it im using fantasia to be a female
sadlythat it is in the real life not that easy^^
Do you unlock extreme trials after beating the hard version or do you need to go through certain parts of msq too
How do I remove glamour from an item I used a glamour plate on?
click glamour plate, choose no 16
Glamour dispellers
reomve mb
To revert it back
and carry glamour dispeller while you do that
Yes you do, after doing Titan hard you can do the extreme chain in waking sands
bet
What if I don't have glamour prisms or dispellers? Can I buy them from shops or are they only mission rewards?
what is good soil to use on thav onions
they're on market board for cheap
only thavnairian if you want to crossbreed it with something else
wait
if not, then any soil works.
can you cross breed
from seals or 500 gil from shop
thav onions?
thavnairian doesn't have a loop with itself, if you mean that.
if mb can get you less than 500, then buy from MB
AKA Thavnairian x plant 2 = thavnairian
no I cross bred UNTIL thav onions
is there anything else
you can cross breed thav onions with
That site has all the crosses
i was on my attack list thing and i accidentally dragged an attack out and it disappeared
anyone know how to get it back
Action and traits
thank you
Is where your skill lists are
how do i dmg him? all my dmg is saying invulnerable
!faq soloinstance
Solo instances don't usually leave you out to dry. The npcs and surroundings usually give hints to how a certain part of the duty can be completed. Just be observant of the space your character is in, as well as the chat box.
look for the nearby generators
they're behind the boxes and stuff
3 generators
I think another one behind one of the gates or near a corner
is there a way to save ui + hotkey load out before I swap over to a new class?
ie. when i swap back to blm my hotkeys are set again
which classes have the best progression? aka you dont have to get to lvl 80 before actually having fun?
yeah mean class that have no progression?
like get all skills at lv 30
none, there isn't any
yeah just tick "shared" at the hotbar that you want to share between classes
not necessarily, just classes that dont feel super incomplete at lower levels
none
most classes pre-50 will feel overly simple due to balance changes and removed actions from previous expansions not being there anymore
Depending on the class, they get a lot of their main tools in the 50's or 60's
where do i go to become a gunbreaker?
how do I check how many days of road to 70 I have left
gridania near aetheryte
Which level is the "min" to solo ARR extreme trials? I just want the mounts
You can't, besides knowing when you made your character.
If i blacklisted someone from my friendlist. Will i disappear from their friendlist or will my data become unable to retrieve for them?
What are all current apartment locations? Will Endwalker be adding to apartments, or only those big housings?
you can check the date of your first earned achievement on the lodestone for a rough idea
6.1 is adding ishgard as a housing district, which will have its own apartments
each housing district has their own apartment complex
70 and above for easy soloing
disappear, IIRC
and if they tried to search for me. What would they get?
Sweet! So Uldah, Limsa, Gridania, Kugane and soon to be Ishgard? Thanks! Wanna know what's available so I don't waste gil on the wrong place I'll end up hating. lol
BSM made all other crafters tools, correct?
Can I do the g unbreaker quest if im level 52 but i have paladin lvld to 70?
im lvl 52 blm rn
Can't remember. :\
You do it on your pld
As it's lv60 minimum
Carpenter makes WVR/GSM offhands, ARM makes CUL mainhand, and GSM makes WVR mainhand.
BSM for the rest of the tools, IIRC.
what's the first quest to start bosjan?
!quest hail to the queen
Judging by the look of relief on Keiten's face, you have saved him a great deal of time.
Keiten
Kugane (X: 12.23 Y: 12.36)
Marsak
Yanxia (X: 16.32 Y: 8.59)

complete your class and job quests
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
okay i see thanks
-
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.
They'll appear where the 2 is on the story tracker
okay thanks
if one fc member doesn't have ew while the rest has, does that mean this single member won't be able to get to the new housing ground?
What's the best way to level alt 30-50?
I don't see much of a reason for needing EW to buy ishgard housing
At most I expect just HW patch story and completing all the firmament quests
!faq altlvlguide
gotcha ty
it won’t let me complete msq
Read the objective
What's your current/next story quest?
@obsidian patiothx
thank you it worked!
whats the fastest way to level an alt back to the level required for the main story quest lline
!faq altlvlguide
Q: where do I turn in Rarefied Mythrite Sand ? Totally forgot.
Is there a spreadsheet of what different jobs like conjurer / rogue turns into becauseI'm pretty sure there Conjurer can turn into 2 different jobs but not sure about every job
only Arcanist becomes two different jobs, being summoner and scholar.
Is there a script/mod that's allowed-ish, partially that automatically skips Cut scenes that are allowed to be skipped?
Coerthas Western Highlands. If you click the item in the gathering log you can see the general location of it.
there's an automatic setting in the character config that does that.
oh, cool
no..I have some,...I just forgot who I bring them to.
Are there any scripts or anything that are playermade/globally used and allowed? Which you'd recommend ofcourse
To the Scrip people found at each starting city marketplace and endgame hubs.
ty
ok,..so somewher ein Ishgard,..ya? thanks
Mor Dhona,..ok,..that sonds right,..thanks
Try asking in #protips-and-ui . I play on PS5 so I can't give any personal recommendations

is there any use for field notes from Bozja I've already got?
Turn them in for lockboxes
ah ok thanks
can i make ingame sort primarily by rarity?
Bro you can play this game on playstation the hell? 

I’ve read a recommendation to do the Coil of Bahamut as it changes some scenes as you go into Heavensward. How significant or meaningful are the changes?
They don't change scenes at all as far as I'm aware
Getting a Dragoon to 50 slightly changes the dialogue, but that's the only change I know of
a cutscene in patch 3.4 gets extra dialogue
So I can't make a Samurai on a different data center if my level 80 is on a different data center? ;__;
for completing coil
no. everything is character locked.
Do you announce the item you produce with DoH in chat?
I mean can other people see it?
if you want to make a sam on another dc, you'd need to level to 50 there to do so.
I changed my log filter earlier in the game
if they have the chat log option to show it, yes
so I don't know if this is the case by default
ahhh
ok
Is there any way to disable it
like to prevent other people seeing me spamming biscuit macro
.>
that's on them, by default the general chat log doesn't show finishing items
I think only battle log would, and I'm pretty sure it only shows you your synthesis stuff
i'm having awful lag spikes and it seems to only be happening in ffxiv
with or without a vpn
Does fisherman also benefits from gatherer's set? (Miner / Botanist)
it's been getting worse over the past week
Oh that sounds very minor. Do you know if you need to complete all 5 turns to affect that change?
the dialogue you get depends on how much of the questline you completed
There’s 13 raids
Ah, thanks. Completed 1-4. 5 looks to be quite tough for Duty groups.
no, but if anyone cares and mentions it they’re being dickish
so just block them or something
can trial players teleport to shirogane?
no
do i have to pay monthly to play this game?
yep
Yea.
Damn
its only like 12usd
You don’t have to play every month just so you know
for ventures, should i just be spamming quick ventures until they hit 80?
Pretty much
also for squadron, u do each of the missions once? it loses its highlighting afterwards
You can also do explorations (the 18 hour ones). They give about 4x as much EXP as a quick venture (1h), so explorations become a better option if you won’t touch the game for at least 14 hours
squadron missions you can do once per week. when you unlock the final 'tier' of missions only one mission of that tier can be completed each week.
or rather, one success. you can fail as many times as you want
hey, why does lv 80 players always have the same gear ? i’ve seen like 2/3 sets max
what is that mount called that people have from the nier automata raid? the flying transforming mech
How do aetheric density bonus windows work?
so if right now, my squadron is like lvl 25, can i spam the highest lvl mission or should i do each of them once
once you clear the highest lvl mission it will gray out for the rest of the week
so when you found the bonus, finish the quest within that 2 hours window
so do the highest ones you have the best odds on
assuming you're seeling stuff like Edenchoir/Edenmete/Cryptlurker/Yorha/Exarchic, that's the highest item level stuff
bonus window is the same for ARR and HW
so grey means i cant do it again and greys reset weekly i guess, its a bit confusing
it changes every 2 hours, and there's no way to know which instance is bonus for the window outside of running it yourself
You only get top and legs from silver choco feather exchange? not the whole set?
weapon, chest and pants yes
its just intend to get you started, and those are the most important pieces of gear
Huh?
I thought it was random if a duty had it or not
yeah It changes every 2 hours
it is
not just ARR I think it applies to all duties that can give density
but why isn’t there like 5 sets with a specific item lv and then ppl could combine some items so gear doesn’t look the same as an others players
that's what glamour is for, to make your gear look like different gear.
so no one even knows which it is]
The only difference between gear of the same ilvl is substats
people generally glamour their gear so it looks like whatever they want
is it only 1 at a time?
or is it either just off or on
no one keeps a tracker anymore
and you have to check every 2hrs
I think no one is sure because none of us have touched squadrons in years lmao
the content is years old and hasn’t been updated
mmh all right then, i’m a bit confused that there are not that much options
because its kind of a moot point since you can do those stages insanely easily nnow
how do I get rid of the debuffs for the final scholar job quest: forward, the royal marines? what skill do I need to use on alka?
i was using that but it wasn't removing it
for Anima I just ignored the bonus and just run A9S 20x
that's already fast enough
Then you're missing a Mechanic of the instance
boss melted in under 1 min
Read what the npcs say
with 8 people
I'm trying to hit 71 first
okay ill try again ty!
a few more roulettes then ill make the pf
Hey can any astro mains tell me a basic rotation for abilities with the least amount of abilitys as possible please I'm so lost
heal the tank as appropriate, using essential diginity first and other ogcds. gcds once you run out of ogcds. put combust o n the enemy, and spam malefic or just spam gravity if a big pull
play cards on the dps
there's no real set rotation for healers
is there an inn with target dummy in it?
nope, you can teleport to summerford farm
what floors of PoTD should I farm for xp?
51-60
why this one
thanks
the training dummies are very close to the aetheryte in summerford
is there a list of aetherytes that have target dummy nearby?
thanks
what happens when a person leaves a dungeon in progress? the next person in the queue gets put in?
people who have the in progress option enabled will get placed into your dungeon, assuming party lead queued you for a replacement
anyone have a colour suggestion for object on the ground?
?
Would anyone well versed in Samurai mind Dming me to help me with Rotation and stuff? Just unlocked it and am a little overwhelmed
Well I think my inspiration to play astro is gone this hurts my brain
when item on the ground i have a hard time seeing it
what is the difference between worlds
the sparkling indicator
you can press numpad0 I think for kbm
that auto select the sparkly thing
as long as you are near it
assuming you are on KBM
on controller, just press X
mainly when finding it
like currently in ratika forest
the leaves and brightness made it rough
screenshot? I don't remember any of the quest rough 🤔
maybe your monitor/gpu is having a problem
yeah could be trying to tinker with reslution setting
I had bought a lvl boost so I can go grab dancer bc of my work hours it would take me weeks to get the class and astro seems cool just confusing when starting lvl 70
Is there any way to get notified if you miss a positional? I'm trying to get back into monk, and that would help a lot.
Yeah you kinda shot yourself in the foot
The game introduces the class slowly for that reason
so people who aren't used to play are not overwhelmed
you start from 1-3 skills enabled to 30ish
from lv 1-80

for the wanderers palace is it normal to not get any groups in queue? i queued as a healer and nothing
what’s the difference in worlds
!faq worldpick
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
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
NA off-peak time
wait till it's peak time, however you shouldn't wait too long as a healer
Yeah i just got a queue as you said that
queue took more than 5 seconds and got scared
LOL
Anyone playing for a while have problem to tell people? I just get the message "Message could not be sent"
Anyone have that damn samurai rotation guide image?
finally unlocked it and I barely know what to do
Does gear/materia matter in blue carnival?
!faq samrotation
tyyyy
afaik it's sync'd down so no
but if you are wearing full /shirescavean, you shouldn't worry about materia at all
since your gear already capped the substats
Yeah, it's just that I've been having problems with stage 29
no right gear level + materia gets you extra stats like that ultimate? XD
probably something to check the balance discord for
they probably have ultimate-specific BiS sets
which healer has the best dps?
They’re all pretty equal
how much potency is lvl80 glare
300
I guess nobody knows?
White Mage has the most personal damage, Astrologian has the most party damage
Scholar sits in the middle of both
The Masked Carnivale Stage 29: Red, Fraught, and Blue is notorious for giving even experienced players a hard time. I'll show you my strategy for this, including some safety strats and how to recover when you mess up.

channel to go for blue stuff
recommended
there's a small sound queue/glow around your character when you hit one
so is shadownringer a whole different game or just an expansion pack
expansion
aw malefic is only 250 ._.
so am i on the same world as people with it or are they totally separate
Why doesn't simply provoking perform a tank swap?
same world
@wanton ingot looks like a mod lol
gives you levels 61-80, and all content in it.
could be many factors, incorrect rotation and gear not at the same level
provoke + shirk for guaranteed tank swap
what levels is just the base game
Are coils soloable at 60? On a warrior?
60
yea thats a mod for stalwart soul @wanton ingot ; the pose is the same
no
thats a mod
nope
lul
base game is free trial without social and girl restriction
My character runs but walks in the middle of running. How do I fix this?
hold on; my bad - it is most definetly a mod, wrong skill though
Its the same with mounts too
But if we are the same IL and not completely messing up our rotation then no need for shirk right?
60 levels (50 from ARR + 10 from HW)
what’s arr and hw
shirk gives room for comfort
and makes sure your burst rotation doesn't make aggro control change between the tanks
the base game and first expansion
A Realm Reborn and Heavensward
ok thank you
So what macro do ppl use for tank swaps?
i will probably be asking lots of questions sorry in advance
A simple /ac "Shirk" <2>
spammed 15 times in a macro is good enough
dw, that's why we're all here
change the 2 to whatever slot you have set to the other tank in the party
So what does that macro do? Whenever I click on shirk it automatically gives it to the other tank?
yep, automatically targets the tank and shirks them
how did you guys learn Everything you need to know about the game did you just play a lot
bit by bit
needed quick clarification lul
2k hours will do that
yeah, part of it is just playing
the game introduces you to classes and mechanics slowly
lots of looking stuff up or asking as well
I've been playing a very long time.
ok thabks
(this is my mogstation, and you can see the days subbed at the bottom)
if you buy the most recent expansion do you get the ones before it
and an acceptance that i'm just bad so i don't fret too much XD
yes, shadowbringers includes stormblood
Buy the complete edition, all xpacs, and 30 days game time
I did today
only $60
but yeah, you must own the game
i am on free trial rn to see if i like it
if you're on free trial and buy shadowbringers you'll also need starter edition
jsut buy compelte edition?
better to just get complete edition, yeah
so if i buy buy complete edition?
buying is a bit complicated
Easiest advise:
get complete edition or collectors complete edition
and if want the newest expansion buy AFTERWARDS endwalker/Collector endwalker
!faq buy
but very important the moment you use the code in mogstatation
your free trial is OVER
and your pay too play time starts
so my free trial stuff doesn’t transfer
wat no you keeep everything
It should
How much does ilvl actually matter vs stats? I keep reading about how ilvl is more important but when an armour piece has like less than 30% of the defense of another piece but +10 ilvl it makes me a bit curious on which is more worth it
free trial = you can paly how long as you want but cant play expansions after heavensward (and some other restrictions)
normal game: you have too pay for playtime (every month like 16$)
What Sparksen said is basically how to take full advantage of Free Trial before having to pay for subscribtion
reaching the end of MSQ free trial will take atleast 200 hours acktive palytime
maybe even hundreds of hours more depending how you play
Since Free Trial contains all the content until the end of the Heavenward expansion (with no time limit), there's a TON of content to do in Free Trial, which u can take advantage of before u decide to pay for the full game / subscription
and that will transfer if i buy
what wil transfer?
as long as you redeem it on the account you're using the free trial on
like my progress in the free trial
all of it
okay
you keep everything
like that would be mindly frustrating losing hundreds of hours of progressXD
exactly
i found a 30minute FATE that grants an achievement but there's nobody else around to do it and the boss really isn't soloable. is there something i can do?
that’s stupid but good to know
item level is a rough indicator of main stats. if are referring to tank equipment might be at the level range where things aren't locked out (so gear for melee will have the vit/str but not the defense)
it's mainly vitality + damage stat for the job + substats you want (most DPS want Crit and DHit)
Minions are obtained from various places
centurio hunts discord exists for that.
there you can psot these fates and hope people want too join
Quest rewards, dungeon drops, crafting, etc
The slime I believe is from Aurum Vale? I can't remember offhand
okay
slime puddle: drops in copperbell hard, last boss chest
You can do a lot of explosions with blm and gnb right
it really only matters at the high difficulty raids (savage/ultimate) and for first clears often high ilev may help you survive
and i’m from girdania how do i travel to other cities
okay i’m just not there yet
Swag, I wish to be destruction incarnate but I wanna get my drk to 80 first
Hello, my beast tribe rep bar is full now but there aren't any promotion quests available? I still have some points to turn in though ---
The leader guy has no quests to give
whats the best way for ARR relic Novus-> nexus step too get aetheric energy?****
Rank up quest
look for a blue quest in the zone, may be hidden behind a yellow sidequest
gotcha, thanks guys!
find the bonus instance and finish the quest in that 2 hours window
mine was tamtara, so I spammed tam tara 20x to finish it
bozja southern front of all things does arr light but if just want to get it over with hakku manor hard is probably easiest
how do i find it?
that centurio discord is mightily confusing
try them out
Alright thanks
oh great try and errorXD
Can someone point me in the right direction for getting a group together for the relic reborn dungeon?
i did it solo unsynched whats your lvl?
mhh yeah that could be rhough
!faq undersized party
while in the duty selection at the top you have a small option symbal
!faq undersizedparty
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.
i asssume that dungeon is lvl 50? so will ba a brutal fight
in 24 mans does it not show how many commendations you got?
Is it possible to sort your squadron members? If so, how?
inside the dungeon?
try /psort
/psort 2 4 will swap party members 2 and 4 for example
Luckily after a 50min wait a group legit started and I was able to join
BTW in general i recommend working on the ARR relic after lvl 70 atleast
allowing you too run everythign unsynched
Hi all, do you know if there is a list of dungeons you would not want to unlock while leveling? I am about lvl 50 and I assume that you would not want some dungeons like castrum as part of your leveling duty roulette
Oooooh... This might actually make things so much easier... i'm already sick of working on my ARR relic after just 1 book...
castrum is quarrantined in its own roulette (MSQ roulette)
in general all dungeons in a spezeific roulette are the same length
onyl exception lvlign because thats dungeons and trials i think
(and maybe the roulettes i dont have uinlocked yet)
How much better is PLD at solo-ing old content (e.g. Extreme trials) compared to GNB?
much better yeah
For anima light farming do I need to have the weapon equipped?
GNB/DRK aren't the tank you go to
if you want solo challenging stuff
WAR/PLD are better
Thanks for the help, i guess i won't try to avoid unlocking dungeons
yeah to kill the final boss
all the msqs in the beginning feel like side quests
Ah... then how wierd is it if i level both PLD and GNB? Because while i love GNB's aesthetics and gameplay, i also want a class that can solo stuff in the future
@patent citrus ok thanks is it a good idea to equip something stronger and change out before we kill?
pretty sure a lot of us have all classes lv 80
Or is leaving the dungeon with the weapon equipped sufficient @patent citrus
totally fair^^
i personally lvl PLD and SAM
Because now i ahve a dps and a tank class
not weird. people level all jobs all the time
I mean on the way through MSQ, since i'm only at the end of HW atm
does Arm's Length only debuff the first enemy to hit you or does it debuff all enemies within the 6 seconds?
yeah
all enemies
Got it thabks
at level 50 yes
Cool
there are at 60/70/80 too
later idk but the level 50 job quests give a piece of gear
there are not the best gear unlike battle gear
Don’t use it though
they are the entry level gear
the freebies you use to get the better crafted gear
starter kit so to speak
So you have to craft the good gear yourself?
what happens after endwalker since it’s the end
well is it?
Isn't that just the end of this current arc?
good habit to get into yeah
Can you buy that gear on the market board?
Hello I made a free account on the website and downloaded the steam free trial and it's not letting me get into the game
new story arc after endwalker
the crafted stuff can often be made by someone else if oyu get them the materials
I was only really investing in culinarian
Tells me I don't have a valid liscense
you can or just buy npc stuff
in a different game or what
get brilliant at least
when theres like flank or rear bonuses are they calculated irregardless of which way you're facing so long as you are in the appropriate position? and also is it calculated at the time the damage hits or when u press the button? Thanks
typically if you get other people lev 80 you can do A9S and get it fairly quickly
or is this ARR
like if the thing is right
brilliant would take 250 times
It's ARR yeah
with lev 80 gear and unsynced, even with it as your weapon you'll still crush most dungeons
hmm no brilliant is 48 points
even then you only need it on the final boss
Can anyone help please
If you got lucky, Tamtara/Sastasha is bonus and you get 96 each
cut the run by half
where can i get 100k xp quick with lvl 59 paladin?
ok tyXD thats the guide i needed too find
try closing the launcher and open it again
I just get this
It wants me to buy the game but I am opening it from the free demo steam app
did you already try opening and closing the launcher
Beast tribe or hunt bills in Ishgard
then i think you registered for the pc version not the steam version
? what does that mean
pc accounts cant play on steam and vice versa
Hunt bills should be on the entrance of the pub east of the main aetheryte and south of the... I want to say the forgotten knight
My steam is on pc
You can't???
What
Yeah I made my account through the square enix website
The ff14 account
by pc i mean downloading the launcher from square enix's page
Is there much difference between the two? Is any one better?
no, just people find steam wallet convenient
Sales are less frequent on steam
steam has less sales
doesnt really matter which one
PC and Steam can't mix. The only exception is PC trial can become steam full time
Sales barely matters
im not completely sure if you have to download the trial from square enix page but if u have fast internet try it
tbh, the steam less sale meme has started to even out
How is this the case
green number good
I think I would prefer to play on steam
Because less money spent is better
Yes, but how does that work in long term
You gonna wait months to get a new expansion on sales?
I can
And do that 5 times over 10 years?
I could
@celest vault that's just how it works
You are able to transfer a pc account to steam when upgrading to the full version?
Yes
Ok thank you for clearing up my confusion
Only time you can swap
can you transfer a steam free trial to pc full game?
Nope
wack
If it is possible, I would have said "free trial can become PC or steam"
Do Squadron xp buffs apply to me? Like the Chemistry that gives +10% xp
i dont think so
Nope
They don’t
Got it. Thanks 🙂 guess I'll go with the chem that gives me crafting scrips then
The exp chemistry only affects that one member anyway
can i do a hunt bill with one class and claim the xp with another?
fates i guess?
where do I get more hi-potions?
The one that kills the enemy gets the reward
rip
some shops shoudl sell them? but you shoudlnt need them
solo singleplayer as a squishy black mage can get rough occasionally
im still leveling through arr
Just use your healerbo
true
so dont know hwo dps MSQ feels like
but as a tank i never had any problems with health in msq
Use chocobo and make it heal you
he probabyl doesnt have that yet
Iirc consumable items have long cooldown time
!quest my feisty little chocobo
So it is just not worth it in the long run to stock them up
Docette appears to have caught scent of something.
Docette
South Shroud (X: 17.11 Y: 28.27)

but like chocobo cant help in instances
but yeah you can't use it in instanced encounters
Fair
i know SAM has 2 healing ahbilities
does anyone have an idea how to determine which folder is for which character in your game folder?
i assumed every dps class gets some
Tank: Increases damage dealt and grants a healing over time effect. The lower the player's HP, the stronger the healing potency.
DPS: Reduces damage taken and grants a healing over time effect. The lower the player's HP, the stronger the healing potency.
Healer: Increases damage dealt and reduces damage taken.
Those are the buffs given in quest battles by Brilliant Conviction.
Dps get second wind
how do i start the moogle beast tribe questline? im already at level 57 in the msq but i cant figure out what im missing to start this
physical dps get second wind
A whole bunch of yellow quests
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Moogle_Daily_Quests#Unlock shitload of pre-reqs
yes but i cant find the one i need to start it
yea im looking at the wiki
Check in Dravanian Sidequests and Ishgardian Sidequests in your completed quest log
to see which ones you've done.
Annoyingly, they're not blue quests.
i checked my completed quests and i havent done a pebble for your thoughts and i also cant find it on the map anywhere
Im starting botanist ,is there any tips on how to level em fast
i am in the churning mists btw
Mogleo (29,35)
i dont see mogleo anywhere x_x
Up top of Moghome
is there a text command or otherwise some way to cancel crafting without closing the crafting log?
In the area yes
& these are all the sidequests ive done in churning and im at msq 57
is it currently half-complete in your active journal?
What's a good guide for squadrons
!faq squadronguide
Thx
why are reputation breakpoints so strange? are the devs doing this on purpose?
it just be like that
Just like how Vath give 20 more points per quest than the other two
rip, hope you dodged that aoe
so I capped my water crystal..
can I sell it to someone?
how do I extract it?
you can sell them on the marketboard
go to your retainer and sell them straight out of the crystal list in your inventory
yeah
go to retainer and right-click the crystal you want to sell
Is there any way to change default /visor on glamour plate?
seems always go back to the original /visor instead of the alternate
What does 'Blood of the Dragon Mastery' do? It says extends the duration of blood/life of the dragon to 30s, but thats already its duration
so i unlocked coils, anything important about them?
start with 30s already no matter what
just side story
oh, hmm
what Alisaie went through when you are on MSQ
ah, ight
before that trait life of the dragon duration depend on your blood duration before entering now it full 30s
You can skip them, all Raids have good story but they are just side content
it only went up to 20s ebfoer, not letting you get 3 nastronds in and also making it possible to run out of blood duration if you have downtime
do people queue for coils unsynced or do they not bother
I did solo mine when I reached lv 80
but now you can use Blood of the Dragon off CD, which is shorter than the duration, meaning it's also basically infinite if you aren't trapped in a cutscene
but you could ask other people to go with you, It gives first time bonus for everyone
no, life duration base is 20s but if you have over 20s in blood, you keep the extra in life
do shields from trials yield rare materials on desynth as well?
so your aim before that is getting blood to somewhere 25s then enter life for 3 nastrond
is it worth getting gear for glamour from a 24 man raid? or are you better off finding gear of the same model from an easier method like crafting/dungeon/marketboard?
it might be different on higher levels ( i don't know ) but i found out that by 'rare materials' the game means desynthesis demimateria
all desynths have a chance to drop it, but the gear drops from dungeons and such have a much bigger chance to do so
ah right, mb
still, it's just way more QoL to not have to work for that to have 3 nastronds

yes QoL
no, i mean, like drops from Byakko ex can give you Byakko's mane on desynth
yes
yes
the shields can desytnh into those
same chance iirc, hence why people recommend using totems for shields due to their lower cost
as i imagine u are asking about
anecdotal evidnece being i got a few manes and hades auracites from their respective shields
then the only choice for totems is to buy shield/sword combo and get 2 chances to get mane for same price?
you can just buy the shield by itself
so you have 3
10 cost for the combo but you can just buy 3 shields instead with your 10 totems
huh, i saw only combo for byakko, would have to look more then, ty
attempt to click only on the shield
i explicitly remember you are able to buy it by itself
it's probably bc i looked at rowena splendors in kugane
they do have limited choices for sure
i mean the splendor vendor sells the same items

as the rhaglr's reach npcs
i don't know if their new UI would allow separate purcahse of sword and shield because i haven't bought from there
but all i can say is purchasing the shield by itself from rhalgr's is true
i won the mount by rolling 2, bc even weeks after i started grinding, everybody else had to get it first lol
oh i see, since the sundry vendors are suppose to basically be convenience npcs they combined the two
so yeah just use the normal vendors if you want to buy the shields by themselves
@patent citrus thanks earlier btw! Finally got to finish light farming after abandoning my anima for 2 months
Where is Count Fortemps ingame? I want to take a gpose with him but he's not in his mansion
you'll have to use ng+ to make him appear
like several other important npcs, they are only around for specific points in the msq
i'm a little bit surprised there isn't a special inventory for dyes
they take so much space
especially since it already has its special UI which could easily have doubled as storage UI
i'm hoping somebody will tell me 'there is one'
there isnt
There isn't
they're consumables
Im kinda confused here, does Yolaine literally sell relic weapons for centurio seals? Are they the same as the actual relic weapons?
They are the level 60 artifact weapons, originally purchased with Allagan Tomestones of Esoterics.
centurio version is dyeable
Ahhhhh
the anima version gets a glow
They predate the Anima Weapon chain.
i heard there's going to be a ffxv event soon, do we know the date?
!faq car
Where/How can I buy the Regalia?
To be able to buy the Regalia, you must complete the FFXV collaboration quest series, starting with 'The Man in Black' in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald at x9, y10. After you have completed 'Messenger of the Winds' you'll be able to buy the Regalia, along with his hairstyle and TT card at the Gold Saucer from the Ironworks Vendor at x5, y6. The Regalia costs 200k MGP.
When does the event end?
The Collaboration event ends on May 27th at 8:00am PDT.
cheers
Is ilvl 430 enough for gatherer to start farming white scrips?
Ty
is there really no use for most fish in the game? only a few can be used in recipes so that leaves desynthing and the results are super garbage
some fishes have unique desynths
but fishing not really used for gathering for crafters except CUL
you can go for big-game fishing or fishing to put into aquariums i guess
i was kinda expecting to have some sort of system to turn in unusable fish for... something i guess
i guess GC supply missions are that, but they draw from a ginormous pool so hoping to sell that is probably not worth bothering
why i cant unlock The Making of a Market, i already completed ehl thou and other quest
Did i just find out the anima 12 trials for the final stage are just the normal/hard versions and not extreme?
when does usually they make level 80 augmented gear buyable with poetics?
endwalker release
thanks
have you completed Firmament blue sidequests up to "To Thaw a Frozen Heart"

yes i did
and are you currently on a level 60+ crafter or gatherer class?
foods cooked from later expansions are strictly better, right? aside from the fact that it can be harder to source the mats for them?
most of those foods have a higher ilvl
its not by expac BUT later expacs have higher ilvl food
yes, actually i have 3 level 80 crafter
yes, but if you're not level 80 don't worry about it.
interesting, so ilvl can be unconnected to recipe lvl?
Are you on one of them though
that's the important thing
the custom delivery unlocks require you to be on a Dol/DoH currently to see/accept
do I need to go through the binding coil of bahamut before starting heavensward for the story ?
coils are ARR savage raid content (it's not named savage but the level of difficulty is that of savage raids)
am i missing out if I don't do it before heavensward though?
no
If you care a lot about the story
it's some interesting story
I would personally recommend doing Coils now.
but it's not going to be easy doing it synced
Do them unsynced with party finder.
i'm doing them synched and our FC is kinda stuck on turn 9
There is a scene in post-HW that has some significant changes if you've done Coils
Just do them unsynced though
i see
which?
is there a good way to find a party without party finder ? I can't create a pf group because i'm still in the free trial
||Reuniting with Alisaie||
happens in patch 3.4 or so
||When you have a heart-to-heart while watching the stars in Outer La Noscea||
ah makes sense
you're probably out of luck in that case
just watch the cutscenes on youtube
D:
there's basically no way you can do coils without being in voice comms if you do them synced
what are some classes that dont need much keybinds?
thank you for the answers @hasty turtle @jade quartz @cursive ridge
Dancer has the least keys iirc
machinist
pretty much every job will use full 3 hotbars
warrior lmao
Is 9s a guaranteed drop from tower now or not yet
for situational abilities and such
aye ill have a look at them
Why is this macro not working?
I want to be able to use a macro to have Arbor Call II then mount roulette
new game + offer the same dialogue or it change based on the contend i unlock after the first playthrough?
btw you can use arbor call while mounted
I just wanted to become capital lazy
mounting up then arbor call just seems like a faster combo
oh, btw, does fish rarity/size matter for aquariums?
as in, will the same kind of fish look different depending on HQ/NQ and its size?
Anyone able to tell me what this quest is specifically? Can't find anymore blue quests on the map and im finished ShB msq
i think that blue quest is in the crystarium
iirc
yeah there was a quest like that in heavensward too, one of the sea of cloud unlocks starts in ishgard
Hi all, small question. I finally decided to work on my ShB relic and just unlocked Zadnor, but the Relic guide says the memories only drop in the Bozjan Southern Front. Should I ignore Zadnor for mow?
nope
any chance you know what the quest is called?

@neon fog https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Aether_Currents btw
what are these?
sightseeing log locations for expansions
ohh
most are completed with /lookout
Is it recommended to level all gathering and crafting or just focus on the ones you want?
some require a specific emote, check the wiki for the full list https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Sightseeing_Log
leveling all at once will be easier on combining gear and inventory space management
and once you're done with an expansion you can sell most of its mats to save space if you've leveled everything
just make sure to check they aren't used later
you can leave behind fisher if desired, since fish as a whole are mostly vendor trash
same can be said for Culinarian in terms of helping other crafting classes with gear or materials
Hmmm, thanks for the answers. So for actual money making, people level all gathering and crafting simultaneously? Specializations aren't a thing here?
Hello 😚
There are specializations in the form of job crystals, for crafters you can have three total and switch somewhat freely (weekly limit)
Usually it gates high end new recipes and gives you a little bit of a bonus to stats but that’s it
mostly just gates new glamour recipes
Leveling crafters can be expensive but they’re recommending it because they tend to share materials, minus Culinarian
So you save money and effort by leveling them together since they also share gear, but it’s not required by any means
what can i do to make this 180 raid grind less mind breaking
Is that 2nd tier or?
I thought you unlock mount ground speed by doing x amount of fates per area
God I don’t even remember but that’s what the maps are for
or is that to grind gem stones to unlock via merchant
Hello, when the HQ item chance states %0 does it there is no chance for me to obtain the HQ version? or its still rng?
Been so long since I did that lol
fair enough
0% is 0%
lol
sadge okayy
what should i pick?
any
ok
does not matter
okay thank you
so in weddings, do the organizers choose the music after the ceremony?
because I'm getting whiplash from hearing the hidibrand theme after a tearful wedding

Am I OK to skip any credits in the game? Nothing hidden or stuff that will get skipped over?
do the other primals have hard mode as well? how do i unlock it if they do?
(Hard) is somewhat misleading in this game
it usually means 'level cap for current expansion'
yes, and it's basically just normal
normal is a cutdown version for the story, they got rid of normal and hard trials after ARR except for ravana and bismarck
so only ifrit has a hard version?
no they all do but the label is misleading
all of them have a hard and extreme version
all it means is that it's 8 man content
all the 50 primals have a (hard) mode
how do i unlock the (hard)
talk to urianger
the unlocks for garuda/ifrit/titan are in the waking sands
for each one?
yes
starts with the quest "a recurring problem"
it will be a series of quests
which is from minfillia
finished it
you need to clear ifrit hard
