Or for alt classes
dont you need to play through the msq to unlock it?
š®
no
Just need to get to ishgard
You have to beat ARR that it
š®
Ishgard is literally the first place you go in the HW MSQ
my current MSQ is mother of exiles
if you are in HW you are in Ishgard
gunbreaker you just need to have a level 60 job, you can pick it up in gridania
not sure if that is far enough
someone just said i need stormblood for it too?
no
nowhere near
shadowbringers, not stormblood
Thatās still ARR
You'll know when you've reached Heavensward
if you don't own shadowbringers you can't play as it
because you'll enter Ishgard and get a cutscene with the massive title card HEAVENSWARD on the screen
does anyone know what these white circles are? i assume theyre textures problem related
forget to mention i am PS4
would to use the D pad but it always lock on targets but never allies
are there any discord that help progging UWU?

have you completed the Ivalice raids?
Alma and ramza stuff?
i think i do but i cant find it in the journal
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)
Shadowbringers
The City of Lost Angels
Path to the Past
that's the one
Hail to the queen? Darn it, I have that in my journal. How would i know thats a requisite. I was looking for bozjan incident
Anyway thanks
i just got the steam version of the game and im wondering how i transfer my account from the free trial to steam?
off to hanks cock then
look up Bozja unlock and you should find that...except I just tried that and saw the nonsensical first result that it was from Rhalgr's Reach haha
some shitty websites out there
wheres botanist guild
Gridania
Should jsut be to log in with your account
Wsit
Did you apply the code(s) to mogstation?
no?
Ćs 20k much at lv80?
no it's like 1 or 2 roulettes
Don't own steam version but should be able to right click it and see codes
!faq mogstation
Add them in your mogstation
20k what?
20k gil? if so that's not much at all
Yeah you got visual issues
When changing gearset with the /gs change text command, the display arms is by default on? Is there a way to have that default off?
If you bought the standard edition for endwalker can you upgrade to deluxe once the game is out?
display arm status is saved to your gearset
can set it individually for each gearset
don't need to change the gearset
just set display off and then save
even just doing that will enable the save button to be clicked again
how to pick up crafting
go to any crafting class guild and pick up the unlock quest, e.g.
So You Want To Be a Carpenter
equip the main hand tool you are given
and go from there
just unlocked eden savages and they were pretty stressful, is it still worth it doing it or just wait for gear updates on endwalker and stick to cryplurker for now since its coming close considering also that i have still many classes to level up?
only gladiator/paladin out of the combat classes.
All crafters and gatherers do have offhand tools
Conjurer and Thaumaturge have some shields below level 50, but that's just early design weirdness. Nothing like that after level 50
press N to open the crafting log and select a recipe
you will get tutorial prompts
active help
those mat can buy or farm 1
yes
does buying a level boost unlock all the MSQ related content for your other jobs as well?
No
anyone here has amd?
Or wait what do u mean exactly
It unlocks all MSQ duties yes
Are u talking about story or class skip
changing jobs doesn't change what MSQ duties you have unlocked
I like leveling through dungeons instead of quests, so I'm trying to find a way to do that
leveling through dungeons is the main way to level
After your first job has done MSQ
but there's like a billion quests to do
MSQ
Yeah, do MSQ
Yes and it's mandatory
that's not negotiable
you can buy a MSQ skip but then you're removing the best exp source for your first class
so it would be recommended to also buy a level skip if you do that.
I don't care about levels, I just want to do dungeons and gradually level up
And the story will take you to them
yes, after 50 quests
And you canāt access dungeons until you unlock them, through the story or blue quests
If u buy an arr storyskip does that unlock the side dungeons as well
Nope
Thought so
what if I buy a quest skip for some other job, would that unlock everything for my main?
other job?
A Story skip is universal
A job skip is one job to lvl 70
1 character can have multiples jobs
oh there's different skips?
and a story skip only works for that character
Yea
!faq skips
Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.
Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS
1 character can only do MSQ once, with exception of New Game+
ah that sounds perfect
so I only have to do the blue unlock quests for dungeons/raids and my class quests?
Yes
Then the shadowbringers story when you get to 70
So you can actually get to endgame
okay thanks, that's perfect for me actually
how do I enter frontline

what does KFF mean? there is a party on party finder with "KFF" as a description
What party is it for?
extreme cloud deck
Never heard about it
i think that's kill for a friend?
Weird
How many memories do I get for doing each HW and SB Alliance Raid?
I've never seen that abbreviation before
Sounds like a āclear for friend, I am a the friendā party
must be EU thing
@wheat plume 3
Great. Thxs. Do u think is it faster to do fates or Alliance Raids for memories?
queue for alliance raids while grinding fates at the same time

Is there any way to save a glamour plate of gear that I'm currently wearing?

in diadem am i supposed to mine the lvl 10 ores until 60? or is there something im missing
cause the next ore is lvl60
Is there a hotkey for the golden saucer minigames?
Mine whichever has highest chance
100% perferably
The confirm button?
idk if im doing something wrong
is hotbar 1 the only hot bar that can be swapped to another hotbar?
for example i want to make 1 change to 4, 2 change to 5 and 3 change to 6
you can do this via macros
there's a macro command that'll copy one hotbar directly onto another hotbar
maybe i should just do leves
syntax is, iirc:
/hotbar copy [job1] [#] [job2] [#]
which will copy the # hotbar of job1 over to the # hotbar of job2
so something like:
/hotbar copy whm 1 whm 2
would copy hotbar 1 on white mage over to hotbar 2 on white mage
hmm i dont really get it XD maybe i should youtube it
macros are a bit complicated if you're just dipping your toes into it
what do you want to swap other hotbars around for?
im going to try being tank now XD but didnt want to loose my mage hotbars
ahhhh, okay
Hotbars are saved per job
yeah
Only hotbars that retain are shared hotbars
Which you can toggle in character configuration
o so as soon as i swap to tank the hot bar will be empty??
yup
Yes
awesome š
and you can add in your tank skills to it
thank you!!
np!
How do i dodge that zigzag pattern in the ||diamond weapon|| trial? I died to it and couldnāt figure it out fast enough
Yeah but everything was so fast and overlapping I didnt see a safe spot
no orher way then practice tbh
there's golden lines that'll show up to indicate the direction
The safe zone is behind where he turns
is the gear curve supposed to be this massive with gathering classes every few levels?
because I keep have to spend way too much money just to be able to mine anything
for leveling, you can get away with just replacing your chest and main/offhand weapon every 5-10 levels
that'll give you the largest gathering boost which is the most important for being able to do leves efficiently
right but my chance to get hq items is very low so I struggle to do main mining quests
i was just running sohm al (hard) as tank and i kept losing aggro, im not rlly sure what i was doing wrong i had tank stance on the whole time and i was using AOEs constantly
they're very difficult to do on-level, tbh
my gear is also all level 60
whenever i level MIN/BTN i typically wait until i'm at that expansion's cap to do them
or at least like, 4-5 levels after when my HQ chance is higher
dumb question, but what's your weapon durability at?
above 90%
no clue then
as long as your tank stance was on and you were spamming your AoE combo in packs you shouldn't be losing aggro
when i got rezzed also during the boss i kept trying to get aggro back and it took awhile too x_x
Can you level to 70/80 if you don't have the expansions (but still own the base game)?
No
you can use the Provoke role action to instantly regain enmity on a target after ressing
So base game is still capped at 60?
Yes
K thanks for the info
how do i get up there
!faq lochscurrent
Have fun
ohh okay ty, i usually just use it for faraway enemies
Theres a big detour you need to do
You go through an area with a buncha zombies/ghosts
oh ty
Is there any way to recover 'GP' faster or just be patient? š
Oh niceee, thank you!
Endwalker comes with SB and ShB, but only upon release right? Pre-ordering doesn't provide them?
Yes
Yes, as in that's correct?
Yes
K, cool
so i just finished rogue class quests and hunt log and im level 8, to get 10 all i can do is fate right?
You can also do hunting logs
i finished it , need to get level 10 to unlock more
good, thanks
What should I do with lower grades materias ? I got plenty of V-VII's
Sell on Mb
whats a good fishing website that shows all fish? ff14angler doesnt work
yo guys i started playing the game around a week ago and everything was working normally , today i woke up and i tried opening the game but everytime i open the launcher i get an error message "unable to complete version check" , i tried the solutions i found online but nothing worked
No
Just give them your old gear
You just throw them your old gear
while questing in HV i got a set of 240 gear, i took tank set, can i get one for samurai without spending alot allagan poetics?
Spend poetics... The 240 gear is old poetic gear
Only need to spend poetics on it if you want it for glamour
Cause you can buy 270
At the same place

Question about end game equipment sets
Are there any special skill buffs certain sets?
No
no set bonuses at all
Cause set bonuses are stupid
Ok
how do i return to bozja
Doman enclave > aetheryte to gangos
Is increasing the difficulty on levequests even worth?
Whatās the fun things to do during end game content?
yes
increases the xp you get from the leve
thanks
do you have any tips for PvP?
if you haven't already done them, guildhests give decent exp prior to dungeons
I have aproblem targeting people
need to be level 10
I often target wrong ppl
Anyone know how to get this one lol
the lochs?
yup
going to take a wild guess and says it the infamous one
or is that in the middle of the lochs
In ala mhigo
ty got it im blind. Srry for asking dumb questions lol
i just found out about this, got some nice exp
the ones that say completion bonus
so i am about to go bozja first time, wanted to check if there is a chaos bozja discord in resources. Didnt find it. Any tips regardless?
Read what the npcs say, they teach you about the area well
Eurekan explorers have bojza info as well
didnt do eureka
eurekan explorers is the discord name
Oh
it covers both eureka and bozja like vinyl said
In #resources
is it possible to target the closest target to me
or switch to that target?
for PvP
Targeting is trash in this game
any way to make it unable to target my allies at least?
One of the few things WoW did actually better
or tab switch target to closest one? š
Tab actually goes left to right according to what is in the view of your camera
There's an option for cone targetting in the character config
helps a little bit as well as angling your camera
how should I level from lvl50 to lvl60?
dungeons
any of the lvl 50 ones?
The highest lvl dungeon that is available
no
at 50 you could do a msq roulette
lv50 dungeons give shit exp
brings you to 52
ideally should use the roulettes to get from 50-51, otherwise do aurum vale or palace of the dead
if it is praet
Where do I spend Bozjan Platinum Coind and Bozjan Mythril Coin? I've seen I can expend the other coins with the suppliers but I don't know where to use those 2
Zadnor supplier
whr can find player shops?
The market board
at Limsa Lominsa
In main cities
Oh
Go to the main aether crystal, and it should be nearby
Warrior materia should be using
Strength
Determination
Critical Hit
right?
Any suggestion?
got 5 slot on main hand weapon
melding?
adding materia to the weapon
Oh
you're just going to have to pull them out when you upgrade to the next step
is there a way to TAB switch target to my closest target?
so melding it right now is moot
wdym pull them out when upgrade to nxt step
for bosses that have a solid circular reticle, does that mean I auto-make all positionals?

when you augment an item, whether its a relic or tomestone item
you're effectively getting a new item
what is a good distance between my level and the msq? i feel like im overleveling too fast but i also dont want to overwhelm myself with leveling from 1-50 again just for hw msq everytime i have a job at level 60
Yes
So either you retrieve the materia before turning it in or you lose the materia
Oh ok
thanks! this Monk likes to hear that.
I thought
!faq positional
Omnidirectional mobs are the right
is there any list of most important stuff to unlock?
It's normal to overlevel past msq, specially if you're doing your dailies
how much is too much tho
my main job is 72, first alt is 60, 2nd and 3rd are 43 and 5.
and my msq is 51
10 levels over is too much
Dumb question but I just did Sastasha and I have no idea how the loot system works, could anyone explain in simple terms? š
is there a way to tell where i goto for leves..like if i go western thanalan i have access to mining leves but no cooking and if i go western la noscea i have access to cooking leves
Highest roll wins
need everything, if you cant greed it, if you cant pass it. unless you have arranged who gets what beforehand, like with mounts and stuff like that
ok let me try search
so erm, is that a no?
so for 1-15 leves, they're within the areas that the class is picked up. i.e Culinarian would be in la noscea zones. 20+ they basically mix. What lvl the area/zone is, is roughly what lvl the leves are going to be. so 20-25 would be quarrymill, since thats roughly the levels of the mobs in that zone
can also just look on a site like gamerescape
thanks
i think i get it, thanks to you both :)
so i have the ceremony of eternal bonding thing, and unlocked the aesthetician, how do i use the ticket for the specific ceremony hairstyle??
do I have to fully level my squad before I can "properly" use them to level my alt jobs (especially DPS)? How long would it take for them to reach around 70 assuming mine are around 55? (I assume 70 should be enough because afterwards I can just go to bozja for leveling)

dont need to max them out to run dungeons with them
just need to unlock command missions which is rank 20 or so
I assume they are unable to go into a dungeon above their level though
i would really suggest using squadrons to get to 70, as the exp starts to fall off around 60s or so
can only go into certain dungeons, and squadron only goes up to 60
newp
are they even worth doing for 60-70 then?
jk found it
when i leveled alt jobs with them, i took it to like 62 or so but going any further than that tbh it really slows down
What DoH and DoL tools glow other than resplendent?
can I buy lv 70 gear with poetics?
would strongly recommend to just do hoh/dungeons
yes, in rhaglr's reach/kugane
I mean I'm kinda trying to dodge DF dungeons because the queue is 10+ minutes haha
blessed, and i think supra glow
Is the game cross server?
Supra tools donāt glow
yes, pc/steam and playstation all play on same servers
sick
Arcanist must be popular? it's really all I see?
what level are you?
Arcanist isnāt particularly more popular than anything else
Is till
I still dont understand about"you must be a level 80 disciple of the hand to meld"

Doh = crafters
What donāt you understand about it?
you need to complete a side quest called "waking the spirit" in northern thanalan to unlock the materia melders
Blessed only glows when gathering? 
Interesting..
thanks though
are the drops for the Spare Parts & the other two one time grind quests for the shb relic not guarenteed?
ye, the downside of most of the doh/dol glowy stuff is they only glow when being used :\
let me find it first
they are, if you're doing zadnor you need gold rating
ree
Yea like this
drop down@@?
which shb extreme trial is easiest?
Innocence. It just melts and does nothing
whats the hardest?
@faint flare if it's easy due to our ilvl being high, what about titania?
isnt that like the first trial
There's still a few mechanics you need to do
became lower potency
Crit is capped, meld something else
Cause it's stat capped
SoS or emex are probably the hardest
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
See the bottom section of this faq
No real reason to meld it at i485 when.you can upgrade it soon too
^
at least the first two are cheap
honestly best thing I've done so far. first dungeon, instant queue, and I got two levels already
the tank is even properly tanking
I see
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding
yes
Which also depends how much of that stat was on the gear to start with
i think the 2nd best option is direct hit but id google it
No
Not for War
War hates dh
oh it's war
War hates DH
Crit > Determination
thought it was a dps class
Itās because War has so many guaranteed DHs
Therefore melding it has less effect overall
but still gets crit cuz crit is just too good?
Crit increases Crit damage as well as chance
But DH only increases chanceāthe damage is fixed
yeah
When interweaving abilities not on GCD, I don't have to wait for animations do I?
No but also yes
There is a 0.7s animation lock on each ability
But the animation itself doesn't matter
But you donāt have to wait out the full animation
But I can't lose an ability's effect because I triggered another ability too soon?
You can fit up to two oGCDs between each GCD (unless youāre a caster, or have a fast gcd class, or have too high a ping)
No
Animations literally mean nothing
No. If the key press was registered, the effect will occur
OK, ty
Flying text and animations are just visual feedback
It's already gone through on the server side
i can buy lvl 60 crafter gear with blue scrips in idyllshire, but where can i get lvl 60 tools of the same ilvl?
order (imo)
SoS > Diamond > Emerald > Ruby > Hades > Titania > Inno
DIamond is higher than Emerald because Diamond has many mechanics that actually need brain on whereas Emerald has one gigahard mechanic but pretty easy otherwise
same place
@outer mural is the gigahard mechanic the one where arrows show up and u have to align the lazers so it doesnt hit ppl
or r u referring to something else
falling swords, Tertius Terminus Est
it has unintuitive tells that need getting used to, and very unforgiving snapshotting
It's the one mechanic that will fuck people up hard
maybe besides firing line
does the gear on your squad members actually matter for dungeon runs?
They don't have gear
hey I'm trying to get access to the eden's promise savage raids but lewrey doesn't let me access them when I talk to him
the "gear" is purely a visual representation of their level
Click the HIGH END RAID tab
In duty finder
@faint flareI checked I am missing promise I have the other two though
Promise is in the HIGH END RAID TAB
At the top
Not the normal duty finder
Also known as the raid finder
I see now thanks!
All current savage, extreme, unreal and the ultimates go in there

Hey does my date of birth matter in game?
nope
Like do certain years come with any perks
thats just fluff
awh okay
If ou join a heavy RP server it does š
Ha fair
Not even then
I assume patron deity does matter
noo
the only time its referenced is during marriage if you do eternal bonding
otherwise it too is fluff
Nothing except starting class matters
I see thanks
Does that really only matter for starting zone?
Yes
Its also the hardest thing to choose
you'll be able to play every class anyway so it doesn't matter that much in the end
SamSara, it's not, you can be all classes / jobs on 1 character
I just know I am really only gonna do Helaers so im working on them, maybe Paladin too
Is Summoner and Scholar locked with leveling together?
Yes
Oh that's actually super coool
They're Base arcanist
Cool. One less job to level
Yep, I am working towards Scholar as my first healer class.
I like the idea of passive pet healing
I've never played as a Lancer in any game
How/where do you install a materia into a peice of gear?
Time to try it I suppose
It's different when you start with White Mage.

also while we're on the subject which starting professions leads to wite mage?
Conjurer
You seem knowledgable, is the Online complete worth it now or wait?
Every base class only upgrades to one job, except for arcanist
Thanks!
You get a unicorn mount for conjurer too at lvl 30
!faq buy
Does AuRi or Arcanist get a special mount?
Only expansion jobs are independent of class and require level requirements
the only jobs that get a special mount related to them are conjurer from a related quest, and all the tanks from specific acheivements
Not that I know of.
Only conjurer and tanks
I know many people think there should be one for each class. I see no issue with that.
Oh also blue mage technically
I got blue mage. It's a breath of fresh air but seems like a lot of work to get spells.
It's not really
do DoH/DoL and combat classes have completely different "resteed exp banks"?
do quests eat rested exp?
no, quests give a set amount of exp not affected by anything besides road to 70
which just doubles their set amount
tyty
Best way to level to 15 for dungeons?
!faq altlevelguide
mostly fates and hunting log
I did not consider palace of the dead. Good to know.
I do hunting logs I know it's a great source. Just feel like I'm running out side quests.
Usual how long does the road to 70 last, want to take the free trial chance to level up more job before start of subscription
when end walker release
!expansion
Early access 19th nov
Have fun
please look forwards to it
hey guys,got some questions im seriously thinking into buying the game but aside the monthly subscription if i buy started edition after it whenever i buy the subscription i have unlocked the full game?
starter edition is only ARR and HW, so no
you'll have access to the marketboard and retainers and housing and what not but you still need to buy Shadowbringers to get the full game
so in a few words im forced to buy all the expansions
They bundle old expansions into the new
you buy shadowbringers and it gives you stormblood as well
Shadowbringers gives you stormblood
Endwalker will give you shadowbringers and stormblood in November
so starter edition + shadowbringers is the full game currently
or you buy complete edition and get both
meh then i have to move out of greece š thanks for your help
should i ask someone to "recruit me" before buying a subscription?
not sure i get anything very useful but maybe the recruiter does
Can I change my chocobo color in free trial? Lol XD
If i use a skill that would increase the duration of blood of the dragon while this is up, it shall increase the duration of life of the dragon instead?
the recruiter gets gold chocobo feathers which lets them buy various things with it
it doesn't give you anything iirc? but you could always check
Ive finished 4.0 Where can i buy the lvl 70 tombstone gear?
I think you need a chocobo stable for that, which requires being able to buy housing, which requires the full game
Rhalgr's Reach
Or kugane sundry splendors
Aw~
That's too bad. Thanks pal :D
another thing, i have like 4 days of free trial remaining; if i buy a sub now, does it wait until those 4 days end before starting the sub?
Wait im confused. Where's the best place to get the gear? kugane or Rhalgr's Reach
(not the free trial, the one that comes with the standard edition)
Yes
oh ok
You can get the gear from either the person in kugane or rhalgr's reach, it doesn't matter which
Sundry splendors has it all in 1 npc while Rhalgars have npcs like idyllshire did

What level do you get heat gauge as a machinist?
When you get hypercharge
Ahh
!action Hypercharge
Releases the energy building in your firearm, causing it to become Overheated, increasing the potency of single-target weaponskills by 20.
Duration: 8s
Heat Gauge Cost: 50
Overheated effect only applicable to machinist job actions.

Why do the high level raids in particular take so much longer to queue for?
which do you mean
Can someone help me decypher this
"If targetting a target, the effect will be granted to target"
Coils of bahamut for example

Takes longer than any previous dungeon
Which one should i buy? I cant get the omega gear how come?
looks like i need these :/
As a free trial player
Omega gear is traded for with raid drops, it's not tomestone gear
because omega gear requires you to do the savage version of the omega raids
Im kinda fucked then huh
Buy scaevan gear, since that is tomestone
And i play a dps as if that weren't enough
You can ask someone high level nicely to unsync it with you

should i even bother with omega gear?
aight, im close to lvl 80 so soon gonna have to upgrade lol
it's more for glam than anything now
ty
am i doing alright if im blue parsing?
When you target someone with that effect while you have brutal shell, the brutal shell effect is also given to them, I think? I don't play GNB
Blue is average
so you're fine
I was in an hour long queue for coils and the game fukin disconnected
kewl
š š š
talking of unsynced would anyone be up for doing some A9S unsynced to help a poor newbie with his first anima š ā¤ļø
yeah don't queue for coils
oh I see it now
It's the consequence of the game's design conventions not being quite set in stone in ARR
it be what it be
I was wondering what ring to get for crafter? I've got to Eulmore and was wondering what ring to get besides the IL500 one?
it's weird since the player is referred to as bahamut slayer later
You can wear two of the white script rings @tropic condor
Oh alright, good to know
that's not about the player

do i have to finish all of Shadowbringers to get the lvl 80 poetics gear?
There are currently no Lv 80 poetics gear. After EW launch, you will need to complete 5.0 MSQ for poetics gear
Hmm so how do i upgrade my gear lol
Currently it requires lv 80 tomes to get. They also unlock after completing 5.0 MSQ
do i craft it?
Also there are quite a lot of other end game currencies
which you get by doing lvl 80 instances or roulettes as a lv 80
Including one of them being gil...
hmm, thats gonna be a grind...
does arr have a signature job like the expansions do?
Apply gil to MB to get ilv 510 gear, then apply Allegory (easy to get) to get 520 gear
Warrior
hw is dragoon right?
Ye
ah so thats how it works. ic ty
Anyway, there is like, half a dozen different ways to get gear at end game
Dong worry, just focus on story.
ok
oh ok, ye. If im confused I can always ask here ty
I fucked up and got the standalone version key when I played the Trial on Steam and now can't activate it.. am I completely screwed? š¦
you should be able to transfer over from free trial on steam to the standalone version?
someone who knows more than me come help
!faq steam
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
you can try seeing if someone is willing to exchange keys
I have gotten all IL500 WVR armor yet I am missing a little less than 100 Control skill to craft the Exarch gear. What is a good way to get that last bit of Control?
me and my friend stopped at 81 after he went to sleep, im wondering if i reached 90 alone can we still enter a queue together continuing from 90 even tho he stopped at 80 ?
Get Aesthete gear HQ (ilvl 490) and put Control+13 materia in their slots)
Thanks I was gonna see if anyone wanted to do that but didn't know if it was allowed
can use syrup + food to try and boost your stats
Syrup? I can get the meal effect though for like 53 more to the skill
!item Commanding Craftsman's Syrup
Is it always 5 patches of MSQ between expansions?
yes
can someone tell me if this works or not
You queued in a party with him, right?
does that work the same as food?
yeah
you can use food and syrup at the same time
is Syrup just 1 item, or a wide range of items?
iirc no, you would need to be with him to continue but i'm not entirely sure
there's a syrup for each crafter stat, control/cp/craftsmanship.
is the Syrup's effect also for 30 mins? Can I craft Syrups with culinarian? is there new Syrups with higher ilvl with each new expansion? Does it work just as food?
15 mins, no, yes
What are the two best primary stats for RDM? Is it vitality and crit?
syrups are alc recipes
Weapon Damage and Intelligence
everything else scales due to how item level works
there will likely be a higher lvl syrup with endwalker
What if I got a bunch of items I need tho and most are like vitality showing
Some have vitality and crit others have vitality and determination
there was tea back in stormblood, but syrups are better than the teas
And spell speed
Every piece of gear has vitality
Can I take Syrups for every stat to get a bosst for all of them, or just 1 Syrup effect at the same time only?
but syrup counts as a potion buff instead of a food buff
Google says Syrup is "medicine". Are there more medicines that boosts stats for DoW/DoM too?
!item tincture of intelligence
!item cunning Craftsman's syurp
fuck
its commanding for cunning syrup :^)
oh wait cunning is cp
derp derp
anyway, if you need a stat boost using food + syrup/tea can help
can I get chat bubbles from party members?
So every Medicine that has lasting effect, can not be used at the same time as others of the same kind. But that doesn't affect using Medicines that doesn't have lasting effect (like Potions), right?
Nope
Combat pots only last for about 15 seconds, crafter pots last for 15 minutes
what's the best way to level crafting classes between class missions
leves > collectibles > ishgard
Hello I need some aid with launcher issues I do apologize for interrupting.
Alot
With Crafter Potions, are u talking about Syrup or another thing?
30 seconds, not 15s
Pots are 10% more stats for the duration
the syrups, yes
They're just as important as any other job
it's essential if you're doing any speed run, you can get away without using it for prog
well it's also very useful for prog especially if you're up against a dps check
don't get me wrong, you still should
but outside of raid, like if you're in a random dungeon or just whatever, using pots is pretty low value
Man I remember (pre-Echo) tje farthest I got Diamond Weapon Ex down was 24% before it hit enrage
it's just if you're broke or whatever, you can afford to not pot every pull, unlike food, which should always be up
Unless you want to get the smoothbrain chemicals
Probably not a good enrage result lol
but then not crit at all during pot
what issues are you having?
how long does it normally take for this game to free up some space or whatever in the na servers, anyone got an idea?
So if you use say a mana potion you have a cooldown until you can use any other type of potion.
@leaden ginkgo Whenever thr migratory wave will end or they get better server hardware
Either is unlikely for now
god damn it
You can go to Crystal
I mean it depends, are you talking about wanting to try to get on aether, or on a server on another data center that's only temp closed due to too many people logged in
because the latter is more temporary
!faq serverlock
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.

Okay so whenever I try to log into the launcher it doesn't not work. I have the one time password thing all good and down and can log into my accounts on the browser no issue but when it's the launcher it always registers as incorrect. Yes even password resetting it doesn't fix it because I've tried that as well.
join the launcher server and post your logs there
they can help way more than people in this server
Dang it
launcher server? First I've heard of that. But just to double check, you can log into like the mogstation for example, with the same info without issue?
Correct
Does anyone wanna trade a Complete Edition Steam Key for a Standalone version? I fucked up and bought the Standalone version while on Steam trial...
okay so in y'all guys' opinion, which is better between primal and crystal?
in terms of i dunno, the people i guess
so this is a very general answer, but primal as a whole has more emphasis on raiding
I say this only for the statistics indicating clear rates of endgame raids
!faq datacenter
Good
aka please don't DM me with :"I'm on crystal and I cleared this raid"
okay then ez choice
You can raid fine on crystal
It just has the 2 biggest Rp servers in it
I think the price of standalone + Shadowbringers is the same as price of complete, so you'll need only to but Shadowbringers and you'll be fine. That on steam and right now that there isn't sale
@leaden ginkgo to check as well, are you using your username (not email) when you're trying to use the launcher to log in? Since I think mogstation lets you use either email or username, but launcher I believe is only username
gear priority is weapon < chest < legs right ?
Yes I am using the user name
dumb question where do i find tradecraft leves
if by < you mean > yes
Chest=legs
fair but weapon is first right ?
there's also a bit of a focus on replacing particularly low ilvl gear if you have it, too
yes weapon first
š
but I mean, that's only in a vacumn, weapon is often harder to get outright than chest/legs
Chest and legs have the same stat totals.
at endgame that is
usual formula is boss 4 of a wing drops chest/weapon, but boss 3 legs
where can i buy 200 GC seal at uldah?
I mean it's not really a vacuum thing. Weapon takes priority and you plan to pick that up when available
Do the next MSQ to get enough for your chocobo
Itās free
but in the meantime if you can afford chest/legs you can get those
I'm saying this because you generally cannot get weapon as early as legs especially
that's what I was referring to
Thereās a method for capped tomestones, but the aim is always to get the weapon ASAP.
But weapon is still the first thing you grab
what should i do on trial before upgrading to full game?
ive finished msq and leveled most of the classes im interested in
if you've decided to buy, you don't need to do anything else on trial
Sounds like itās time to upgrade
i plan to buy the game and endwalker like 1 week before it drops to maximize my time
ok thanks. i've done the quest
aight ill look into beast tribes
but i've got battle chocobo now how do i mount it?
The mount guide under the character menu
Use the whistle item you received to add it to your mount collection
Use the whistle then go into mount guide
Then character > mount guide, right click > summon
i dont have access to that button yet
Can also drag it to your hotbar
use the whistle
where do i find tradecraft leves everything seems like it only has battle or field
oh i cant summon inside uldah town?
You canāt mount in cities.
Canāt use mounts in Main cities
how fast is chocobo comapred to normal running?
a lot faster
anyone have tips for expert crafting the oddly delicate parts? my stats are 2708/2707/554 š¦ but even after following guides i can only get tier 1 oddly delicate parts.
You unlock upgrades to mount speed as you do MSQ
Hello, i noticed that when i join Cloud deck boss, my camera cant zoom out like how i can zoom out in other places, is this normal? or just bug?
Shouldnāt be any different
yeah thats why i said, i cant zoom out my camera max,
like the pov is so low,
i thought this is from boss mechanics
its weird
Anyone know how prevalent the sales of complete edition is and/or when the next sale might be?
we don't know
Normally the next expansion would've been out by now
If it weren't for the obvious reasons
Would that be COVID?
yes
Starting not to like this COVID thing now...
Jokes aside, can I ask when the last one before the previous one was?
Or where I might be able to get that info from
Sales? We canāt predict them
We had a few on different platforms that were only like a month apart
I'm just trying to get a baseline of how often they are..
Thereās no regular pattern
literally in this case, as previous sales happened usually during holidays. But since the holiday season is when EW drops it's not likely complete will have another sale after EW drops until lunar new year
I only ask this for understanding, is the built in HUD / UI modifying tool as power or at least half as power as ElvUI / TukUI for WoW?
if not, is there a downloadable mod for it?
No sale for end walker release then?
The only UI mods really are like themes
regardless, there's not really any UI mods anyways, the closest we have is ACT overlays
Ah ok.
Heard someone say it was on sale every other month :(

shadowbringers, yes, has been going on sale semi-often. endwalker? no.
I mean the complete edition, not just shadow walkers
Unless shadow walkers gets you storm blood and shadowbringers...?
it does
how do i set this up so this is it goes 1,2,3,4,ctrl+1,crtl+2 and etc
endwalker does, yes. but not until it releases.
Uh
well just bought the game via steam and i cant even get a confirmation code from my email to make an account it never comes
Do you mean Endwalker or Shadowbringers
I'm confused and think I'm confusing everyone else.
Key binds
I'm up to level 60, started heavens ward as well
Your game code on steam is found by right clicking the game in steam library > manage > CD keys
so 5 is set to ctrl+1 now or something?
@hardy scroll in keybinds you should just be able to hit the combination
ight
I want to advance from the free trial. Does buying shadowbringers do this for me?
!faq buy
Also
Can i set my return to my house ?
No
honestly felt like that was common sense
but you know

Thanks :(

hey in y'alls opinion which between drg or nin be easier to try out for first time melee in this game?
DRG probably
DRG
DRG is pretty straightforwards, although its earlier levels are a touch dull
the only game getting 500 errors to install lele
NIN is a high APM job so it can be a bit overwhelming once you start getting mudras, lol
eh, i feel like with how the game structures getting spells, youll slowly learn how to use mudras well
yeah, i think it onboards it well
can anybody help me with this error?
on keybinds>hotbar
it just might be a bit overwhelming for your first melee job since you have to pay attention to positioning etc. already
DRG lets you practice positionals and watching out for melee-ranged telegraphs without the busyness of mudras
coolio ty, and I do like edge so that's a plus
