i think they mean verminion
uhhh i don't think so
typcially versus AI matches there's pre-set strategies that dumpster them
and for pvp i wouldn't know
@hot eagle oh really and during odd levels right, when a dungeon is 51 and next one is 54 you do deep dungeon in between?
no, just do the dungeon until the next breakpoitn
Is there a max number of items I can put in the Armoire?
so 51 spam unti l54
anyone know where to farm Viscous Secretions? ive checked ever location on the wiki and there are 0 slugs at any of them
then 54 spam until the next
if an uncomplete Alliance enters Delubrum, are they still matched with randos ?
Yea. Lord of Verminion, lol XD
yes
how many Delubrums do I need to do for farming memories, in the 4th farming for relic weapon
DR gives 3 timeworn and 2, I think, Raw Emotions per clear
ok so im playing on a new pc at home after returning from holiday and i got my account locked cos of new connection
but i forgot my email
nice, ok, I need timeworn
and so i sent a request ticket for SE to change the email on that account to another one
How long would it take SE to respond?
im hoping they get it done today cos i got raid tonight
when did you send in your ticket? if today or yesterday you can 100% forget to raid tonight
yesterday evening
around 8pm GMT
so about 12 hours ago
I sent them all the relevant info including my ID
yeah then you can forget to raid https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/b9970a7dde8d01d15b95798b42bd835fb522dfff
for some it took a few days, others waited over a week
i hope for you at last that it goes fast
I guess if I can get this done by Friday itll be ok
Idk if the request i made is considered a lot of work for support
just need SE to change the email on the account to the one i asked
but be sure to not send another ticket in or you get to the end of the que again and it takes even longer
Nah defo not sending another ticket
I gave them my SE ID
so they should know what account im talking about anyway
Think they’ll touch on Reaper’s abilities and traits in the liveletter on Friday ?
they probably will ask for your birthday and your security question and answer and other stuff
yea they asked that stuff when i was filling in the ticket i think
wrote it all down
so long you know all it should be fine
better as to make it too easy for other ppl to get in the accounts and change stuff
Wait, to unlock Allied Beast tribe quest of HW, i need to complete the Allied Beast Tribe quest of ARR first?
nope allied beast tribes only needs you to have all tribes for the expansion at max rank
Ah, okay, thank god the twelve
ARR tribes are still a long way from completion for me... Since i only maxed Sylphs and Ixali, with only Amaljaa at rank 3
Huh, I'm not finding anything about having to do them in sequential order
Seems weird to me since they're definitely linked
Would be kind of shitty tbh if it requires previous allied :d
its a lot to demand, since it takes a while to cap one tribe
Hey you guys, does anyone know if there's a way for me to change the 'esc to close menus' in FFXIV? I want to disable 'esc to close menu(s).
Idk about SB and ShB tribes, but HW's beast tribe quests are very streamlined unlike ARR's, which i'm very thankful for
having to do like 6-12 beast tribe quests of the same tribe is very tiring...
There's no allied ShB quest
you dont have to do all of the tribe quest for ARR
Hmm? Are there even ShB tribes?
i think i just wasted some MGP - are the cards from the random triple triad packs all available by other methods?
There are tribes
they just didnt do an allied this time
Not all of them
One crafter, one gatherer and one combat
Example, Kobold Card 1* is available only by random trial packs
which ones should i look out for
Sorry, still new/a sprout...
https://arrtripletriad.com/en/cards-location You can see which cards drop from the packs. Some can be gotten in other ways though
yeah hence my hesitation
some require card pack so be aware of wasting a lot of mgp
I am stuck on a Heavensward main sequence quest "Familiar Faces" where I need to stand at a "destination". It shows as the glittering stars on the ground and was showing as targetable (with "Destination" or similar floating above it) but then after mucking around with my mount getting in the way and accidentally targeting that, the Destination is no longer targetable (and the Destination name is gone). Logged out, restarted the game, teleported twice, did a side quest but still cannot target the destination. MSQ's can't be abandoned and restarted so how do I progress this quest?

Stand there and use /lookout
Is there anyway for low crafters to make gil?
Can I trade triple triad cards like the noctis card to friends?
As in, the consumable item that grants the card
no its market prohibited and untradeable
Darn, thanks
When was the last time the FFXV event was around? Like 2 years ago or something right?
I just started playing in august and I was just thinking about how cool it would be to get the lucian cosmetics, and I'm so happy it came back when it did lmao
What gear do I need to start doing e9s-e12s? Was told I need full aug crypt
!faq balance
Go here for progressive bis
But you should aim for a 520+ average item level
Most importantly you'll need heaps of git gud
Bloody obvious when you say it. Thanks - will give it a try.
It will say in your quest log hud element to do a specific /whatever command if its required
/doubt these loiterers etc etc
Yes - I was just being too quick and not reading carefully. Have done plenty of those quests but just didn't notice the / this time.
if an action in a macro doesn't fire off because of lack of cp/mana, does it trigger GCD or the macro action limit?
no it just skips that part of the macro generally
ah okay, thanks
how do pazuzu prep groups work in eureka?
when doing custom delivieries, if one of the crafting icons i s gold, that means its what i want to use to make the item?
Does anyone know a job i might enjoy? i got RDM to 80 and im stumped on what i should lvl up next...
I dont wanna play SAM or DRG cause my bf mains those.
Try all of them
Wait for gales/night, head to the cave usually in a group of 10+, grind wraiths until spawn
The tracker will tell you when the next pazu window is
doe subs end at 1am pst everytime or about the time you subbed?
How about a tank?
mine ended at 1am pst last time so i think 1am
can noctis questline items be bought from calamity salvager or smth after getting them once?
i didnt know pressing / allows u to walk in game
there's also a litte walking man that appears near server info if youre in rpwalk
Ive tried GNB and DRK so far.
They seem fun but dont people get mad at tanks if they have no clue what theyre doing?
Also idk if i was doing something wrong but even with mitigation DRK felt like it was dying way too fast... tho this was during the first DRK quest.
90% of your migitation is determined by your gear
hen doing custom delivieries, if one of the crafting icons i s gold, that means its what i want to use to make the item?
higher stats = better defense
you mean when you crafting, ability has a glowing border around them?
i mean yeah that might have been it
just tell your group that youre undergeared/not at top gear so they arent suddenly surpised when you explode i nto dust
No one starts out amazing as a tank. Like every other job it takes practice. I’d just tell my party “hey haven’t tanked this before” and they’ll usually be understanding.
Also if you’ve already cleared a dungeon a few times you should know the trash layout by then anyway.
you gain exp as that job @fluid quartz
as in you are an ARM right now and turn in will give exp to ARM
Which tank do you think is most enjoyable?
Most people are pretty understanding as long as you're trying/learning
Paladin and Gunbreaker.
i enjoy them all for their unique kits at 70+
And yeah, get gear that's on level or higher with the content you're doing whenever you can
below 70 it's kinda sorta a crapshoot because level sync is wild
My favorite is paladin though because of how easy it is to solo dungeon bosses.
yeah but since exp is not of your concern, some customer has bonus reward for the week, deliver to them for more scrips
DRK in particular suffers badly because it's 'low cooldown' migitation ability is unlock at LEVEL 70
Paladin looks cool but starting from 1 is gonna hurt my soul x3
BLOODY LEVEL 70 JESUS CHRIST it's definitely one of the hardest to level
WAR players be like

With the armory bonus, novice hall exp ring, and the fact that you’ve unlocked all the dungeons? You should be able to level fast.
it’s not that fast
To 80? No. But it doesn’t take long to get 15 and get in to dungeons where the real exp is.
Fair
What’s the difference between going to a glamour dresser and buying glamour prism and cast glamour?
glamour dresser only needs 1 and you can apply it infinitely
while the latter requires 1 prism every application
also glamour plates
but dresser have a limited amount
do bosses’ immunity to attacks from a certain direction apply to smn’s pet?
it’s either you put 400 items in your dresser or those 400 items stay in your inventory
I dont think so like the ravana barriers?
also I wanna say no
you don’t get reflected for ifrit swipes on stuff like Ravana or Hansel/Gretel yeah
i dont think parry affects pets/summons at all
definitely not
that'd be really dumb 
imagine
because pet AI is ass as is and punishing you for stupid AI is also a poor decision
just turn summoner into an rts job
and they don’t trigger it so it doesn’t matter
LoV mechanics
just make summoner become the primal 4hed
thank you all o/
Would be funny if warriors vengeance creates a loop of parries bouncing between them and the boss
So I just saw something
Is the "Any way the Wind Blows" Gate still in the rotation, just very rare?
It is, I’ve seen it within the past month

Iirc that was taken out
sadge
I wanna say when shb came out
if you want to do simon says its now a fete event
anyone having this problem, login won't show
is there a macro command for unlocking/locking hotbar? ala just clicking this?
!faq xivlauncher
thanks
hey can someone help me with this? I was literally playing like 20 mins ago and I went back to log on and it gave me this
Where's best for farming the first step of the resistance relic memories?
are certain zones better than others?
Higher level zones are better because you get synced above the max level for HW, which makes clearing the fates much faster
ok nvm i launched it through my steam and it worked
!faq steam
I just do Tailfeather, Azys Lla, and Sea of Clouds - though what kinger said makes sense 
- 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.
idk what the hell was that i jsut got but i got scared lol
I usually do Azys Lla and Dravanian Hinterlands for two of them
er, wait, those are the same memory
whats the in-game command to copy hotbars?
morning guys, you know the A Nocturne for Heroes event, for the FF crossover thing.. can you acquire the mount from this event or is it just the outfit?
outfit only, the car is for 200k mgp at the gold saucer
does tricks of the trade take up a turn of buffs?
yes
it counts as a step
so only use it when you are not using waste not, manipulation or progress/quality buff
!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 start and end?
The Collaboration event starts on Monday, September 13 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT), and lasts to Monday, October 18 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)
better get to work on the MGP grind
Does FC buff and Squadron manuels stack?
can you buy the car at the golden saucer yet?
Yes
If u have a Gold Saucer VIP card, u can use it to boost your MGP earnings. This includes Fashion Report, which is basically an extra 9k MGP
after completing the questline, yes
Pog how much is it
200k
For the remaining 1 hour or so, u can do whatever u want to make the most of it
damn that's free
Haha, i didn't know about the event, so i didn't save my MGP 😦
You've got a month
so what do you actually do then?
Fashion report is a guaranteed 60k+ a week
Yeah, but i originally panicked because i thought the event end date was 18th Sep instead of Oct
sometimes when does fates it unsyncs me mid fight. no im not unclicking the unsync button, does this happen to anyone else aha?
From what i hear, this week's Fashion Report is sprout friendly to get the 80 points
Dravanian Hinterlands and then usually Sea of Clouds (there are some level 57-58 FATEs that spawn in the NE part of the zone) and Dravanian Forelands (can't get high level FATEs there but that's where people usually do them so it's easy to find a group)
You ran out of the FATE's radius, stay within the radius or you get unsynced
Fashion Report ended yesterday and doesn't come back until either Thursday or Friday
I know, I was refering to this week's
This week's isn't out yet
So we have no way of knowing whether it will be sprout friendly or not
Some people are testing it to get results. And since we know what items match the themes of previous Fashion Reports, testers know some of the items already
An example of early speculation:
Hey, do I have to progress the Eureka weapon to pyros in order to buy the elemental armor ?
like looking at the alst 5 fashhion reports 80 was always extremly easy
there was 1 mean one that needed a shire ring
Not really. For example, week 187 was a trying time for me:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/pckal2/fashion_report_full_details_for_week_of_8272021/
Since i was underleveled, and was rushing to lv 61 to wear a Yeti ring...
😔
I didn't know this because i didn't hit lv 60...
Also, don't u have to complete HW to unlock that NPC which sells it?
Hw is spezial with that npc
but yeah not sprout friendly
but easy if you have that progressXD
You don't need to finish HW to unlock shire gear, for what it's worth
You just need to reach idyllshire (which is late in HW MSQ)
lvl 58 MSQ so quite late
It'd probably be easier to level to lv 61 given how much xp MSQ gives and equip a Yeti ring instead
!faq mgpguide
I have a Problem if i have a Job like mining. The Monsters Kill me so fast cause i dont have armor for this Job and i didnt find some items in the cities... can i attackiert Monsters somehow ? And where do i buy good items ? Pls Help me
all gatherers have a skill that makes them invisible to mobs
you have a stealth ability.
It's signified by the circling balls
So i dont need any armor
You do
how does the materia stuff work? if someone has a good quick guide for them it would help a lot
I'm a gladiator if that matters
Armor on gatherers just doesn't protect you, it makes it more likely for you to get items/get hq items
what lvl are you?
50
do you need it for a quest or do you need it on your gladiator gear?
I dont know what it is at all but it seems useful and important?
TLDR There's different kinds of materia that are each representative of different sub stats, and you meld them into slots on your gear to increase those substat values as much as possible, but if you're not level cap you don't need to worry about it
so I guess my gear
Materia isn't needed before 80 tbh
guys
Low level materia has very, very little effect on combat jobs
ok then:
its very unimportant for you
basicly jsut relevent on endgame and on gatherer/crafter gear
dont worry about it all for your ckombat jobs until lvl 80
80
80 rn
i completed my lvl 30 class quest, how do i change from gladiator to dark knight ?
you don't
???
gladitor= paladin
you don't. you have to get to heavensward
Gladiator leads into Paladin, not Dark Knight
im still not a paladin tho
you unlock dark knight in Heavensward. with a + quest
drk starts at 30. it is not unlocked at 30
keep doing your job quests
You gotta complete MSQ up to the quest Sylph-Management as well
your lvl 40 job quest will give you a crytsal
i dont have any job quests available, only MSQ
Do MSQ.
then msq
have you done
!quest Sylph-Management
Minfilia needs you to investigate the sylphs.

Yes, we know
is that expansion included in the free trial ?
yes
yes
thats cool of SE
but i do not know if DRK is included in fre trial
it is
oh neat
It is
sweet!
if it's in heavensward it's in the trial
can i use a housing item inside my apt in the pendant ?
can you sue it in the room in your FC house?
you should be able to
Yeah, FC houses are basically the same as apartments
but like the privat rooms
yeah
Yes
good
Private rooms in an FC estate are basically apartments, you can decorate them all you want
ok
Hello
thanks good to knowe ty
Quick question
I remember sth about playing on steam and non-steam, with being able to convert it once, when you upgrade from trial
are job questlines included in newgame+ or somewhere? i have to skip some of them (as in dialogues) but i want to come back to them later
Yes they are
yes, you can replay job quests in ng+
and how does ng+ exactly work? i do the same quests just without rewarrds?
Are the standard/complete editions separate for the different platforms?
e.g. is a code bought from the site store gonna convert a steam account to a non-steam account?
Basically
Question for those that play on console and PC. If I have all of the expansions purchased on PC, including endwalker, can I only preorder endwalker on ps5 and play the current content right now? Or do I have to wait for endwalker releases? (I have an active sub through mog station and psplus)
no
nope
if you buy the game from SE store, you cannot use steam codes
steam and standalone are separate, you can't mix and match codes
You don't count as owning endwalker until it comes out
the ONLY time you can go from non-steam to steam is if you are going from SE trial to full game steam
also you don't need psplus to play FFXIV iirc
Well, I know that, but I also know that you can convert it once, whenever you upgrade
ye that's what I meant
but this is only for the SE trial
if you're on steam trial
You are locked into steam
Ahh, that’s what I was worried about (I read that on the release page but wanted to clarify). So I’d have to buy ShB and endwalker for PS if I wanted to play them now. Also I can rotate back and forth between pc and PS without issues right?
assuming you own the game on both platforms, yes afaik
You'd have to buy the game on both platforms but yes
I go between ps4 and pc depending on what I'm doing
Thanks, appreciate it!
I want to chill back when fishing, doing potd, etc. on the couch with controller when I can.
yeah you can 100% do that
Did they say how long the live letter will be?
yes
Gotha, thanks
in the translation, they say about 4h
Hello, can anyone help me? theres 2 chat in left side of my screen. its supposed to be just 1 chat box
can anyone help me?
Returning player here, just finished uni and wanted to get back to FFXIV and have a friend who wants to try out the free trial, but the world im playing on (Kujata) doesnt allow for any new characters. do i need to make a character on a new world to play with him?
!status kujata
try asking him to try at an odd hour? if not, u can try playin gon the same data center at least
nah he just needs to wait till off peak times
but much of the game is single-player, so you cant' really do anything w him apart from dungeon queues
if you throw the general out, put it right next to other and they marge
Or play on another world on the same datacenter and visit you
Yeah dungeon Que since im a healer i can help him out
then click the general to drag it where you want
Wait, so as long as we're on the same datacenter things will work out?
and wait, you can make more characters when its not peak hours?
unable to craft. insufficient craftsmanship rating, what does that mean> im level 80 craft and i have the recipe?
thanks so much yall 
you need more of the craftsmanship stat to craft it
either meld more craftsmanship or get better gear (aka aesthetite)
Yep! They just can't join the same free company or whatever but u can world visit each other
You need to swap to your black mage
I was BLM when I did
it does say all classes and jobs at level 49, what quest is it?
Question about subscriptions
If I'm already subbed as entry sub
am I able to upgrade to standard? and how would that work
you cannot upgrade to a standard sub until it expires
I see
adding onto that, you cannot add a time card to force yourself onto standard
you must wait until your entry days expire
F
oh?
basically if you have like 5 days left, you're charged the difference between them rather than having to pay the full 15$
only time you have to wait for sub to expire is if you're trying to use a time card while on entry
confused on how to get the choco mount, do i just get seals by doing twin adder missons ?
you get the required amount of seals from the next MSQ quest
iirc the literal next msq gives you seals
which you can then immediately use to buy the chocobo license
Is there a way to regen gp fast or have a potion or sth that isnt on cooldown
Otherwise, roulettes/fates/GC missions will be your primary source of seals
you get enhanced gp regeneration traits at 70 and 80
cordial and that's your lot
Well thats like boosted by 1
other than that all you have are cordials/hi cordials
Hi cordials have like 45 second cooldown or sth
...eh?
way past that quest
Wondered if there was a way to keep regenerating
no there isn't
No, that's it
Pain
!item hi-cordial
5 mins cd
I could swear MSQ gives you seals. Have they changed that?
it does
Iirc its like 1 quest after the gc unlock
Idk if there are more that does but i dont remember
It definitely does, I did it only a few weeks ago on an alt
are you certain you're not looking at the wrong place? or did you use the seals to buy something else?
Whats the best armor set in the game?
my friend is saying his exarchic sets stats are pretty much matching stuff like laws order(so says the wiki) and i would like a direct answer xP
Best in slot is going to vary greatly depending on your job
best in slot is a mixture of edenmorn (8 man savage raid) and augmented cryptlurker (tomestone gear)
Exarchic is not best in slot in any situation tho
kk ty
is that reflected on the site? cuz from what I can tell it just says the usual 13 euros
did you spend the seals on something else?
I mean if you really need seals and no way to get em, just fates ig
uhh not sure, its been a long while since i bothered messing with that
can you screenshot your currency window?
Or hunting log from gc
you only need 200 seals right
I've got 13 days left
yes, chocobo license should be 200 seals
er that request for screenshot was for pierce
and the quest gives you 300
You are supposed to just get those seals the first quest after gc unlock
You mightve spent them on shop
DoTs dont tick on first apply right
we had a smiliar problem
it gets used whgen your time runs out
So what mixture would a samurai have may i ask >-<
just upfront then 3 secs later the tick
you should go look at the balance discord, as BiS set ups especially for sam vary depending on desired skill speed tier @slate wave
!faq balance
Sorry, not sure what to make of that. Could you rephrase?
Btw is there like a spreadsheet or something with optimal rotation to collectible hunt?
Like locations and times that node spawns.
For example lower lanoscea 4pm, western thanalan 5pm
someones asked like 2 days ago why he couldnt sue crysta too pay
the answer was he could. but it wasnt bille duntil his time ran out
not really for ARR, because Collectibles were introduced in Heavensward
Was giving an example
Im in shb rn
but for the most part collectibles don't overlap so you just set up timers based on your gathering log
so can I upgrade to standard or not? That is what I was asking about and what I want to do
you can 100% upgrade
It says in gathering log if its a collectible right
Even with crysta?
afaik the only time that you are forced to wait for sub to expire before you can add it is time cards
that i do not know
it was for icnreasing play time not upgrade
okay
but i can tell you this: its well thought out and you wont lose money and not gain what you want
Thats moonrune currency to me
86 centsXD
ARR ending Stormblood beginning MSQ question
neat^^ btw general question too you:
Why? @cosmic token
figured it out needed to buy it at the exchange
||i'm at the point where the leviathan is summoned, how long will it take me to get to ishgard?||
A friend of mine is starting to play, and I think I'll make a new char to level with them, rather than do NG+
not that long but i cant really remmeber
still a ways to go, that's 2.2
Fairly long
thats actually smart
you still gotta go through 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.55
oh he is in the patches
jesus
you're maybe 35-40% of the way there
2.x is like 80 sth quests
fuck me
You prob still need around 50
yeah patches between expansions are around the same amount of story as the patch itself
its a lot
Arr is just long
but the ARR patches are pretty ok
iirc from 2.2 onwards its getting easier/more itneresting but dont @me
i just want to unlock machinist
Ah yes the pain of hw locked classes
at least you dont have to pay for HW
what a dogshit decision that is

Which is why they never did it again
is there a site where it can compile the total of mats i needed for items. e.g: i want to make a striking Set and i just want to see the total mats needed for it.
it's only so they can be on the same world as my main, and join my guild
otherwise we could've gone on another world even without upgrading
like it would be so amazing too pick up DRK and machinist at 30
i was going to wait for EW instead of buying shadowbringers
you can create a list
!faq teamcraft
It is an all in one crafter website that offers lists, simulator and other features and can be found at: https://ffxivteamcraft.com/
and add all the items to that list
but now i just might buy shadowbringers so i can unlock samurai right now
now you can pick them up at 50 and have too lvl them 20 lvls
and it will show you everything you need
Thanks! @primal gull @slate arrow
Theyd need to add requirements
But thats easily done
well fair because job quest
so wait i'm level 53 now, and only 40% done with ARR according to you guys
so i'll be 60 when i start stormblood?
ARR is done.
youa re in the patches afterwards
Theyd have to remake a lot if they were to do it
but yeah if you keep up with your roulettes etc you'll probably be close to 60 by that point
ARR 1-50
patches 50
HW 50-60
patches 60
Etc
Youre like 75% through the entirety of arr(patch included) id say
Had that same thing with drk, took a while but was happy when i finally got it
when ARR is 100 hours of playtime then patches afterwards are another 70
Just make sure not to make your entire gameplay focused on getting mch
Itll just make you lose interest in cutscenes
Its not that bad
Arr itself is like 100 hours patch included iirc
eh i wanted to unlock it asap to get the benefit of MSQ exp on machinist
i main a white mage so dungeon farm is much easier
You wont get that unless you level it to 50 after getting in hw
Its a pain but yeah
Especially since its dps
i worte down my playtimes at the ends of each part
ARR 50 hours
patches 50 hours
HW 52 hours
patches 53 hours
stormblood 48 hours
patches 100 hours(farmed a relic that added like 50 hoursXD)
i might pause the MSQ and level a different DPS then
but everyone has his own speed
bard i guess?
True
damn, that much content?
yeah its **years **worht of content
Thats only scratching the surface
i'm rethinking my plan of waiting for EW instead of buying shadowbringers
cause it sounds like i'll be doing 3 weeks of old expansions when EW drops
I have 500 hours and just got to shb
Havent even come close to doing much side content
like wait till your each end of HW and then decide
3 weeks would be mad rushing it
you'd barely scratch the surface
Hw is always the deciding factor to buy the sub
Just take ur time, no need to be there when the content drops
Just enjoy the story
And the fetch quests in sb
fetch quests are the reason we're all here
I’m content doing stuff at a normal pace I’m just annoyed about being locked out of jobs
A little part of me dies inside every fetch quest i do
This is the only jobs ur locked out of
Drk, mch and ast
i contemplated waiting for EW too but I liked the game so much i don't mind paying for two expansions
The others are in uldah, gridania and stuff
no
Dancer is limsa
you need to have active expansion key on your account
^
Well yeah that too
to access stormblood and shadowbringers jobs
Cuz they start at 50 and 60
The four dps jobs that interest me are samurai, red mage, machinist and dancer
Can’t access any of those 😄
Thats painful
machinist is base game
Well hw
which is base game now
Fair
Imma just buy sb tomorrow when I get paid
shb*
And some stuff off mogstation since there’s a sale
Note, you can only play rdm and samurai then
Shb my bad, not great at the expac names yet
Cuz you need a class level 60 for dancer
That’s fine, those two are the main ones
Just make sure to watch the trailers before transitioning to the next expansion
I’m starting to feel some anxiety about healing so I wanna be a dps for a while
Understandable
Tho getting used to that responsibility is also important if you wanna play the job, make sure that everyone makes mistakes and you can always improve on them
i asked this several times before so some of you might be angry but
why is trick attack such a big deal
its 5% increase
that doesnt sound like a lot
over 15s
Legally youre not allowed to use ACT but you can use it, then upload your log to ffxiv analysis to see what you can improve on too
that include all sort of dots
dots have increased potency with vuln?
it's an improvement of damage you can achieve
They cant check it, yoshi p said it himself
So if you were to use it just dont say you are
It is on a 60 second cooldown which means it lines up with basically every single burst CD in the game
i guesssssssssssssss
It is when 8 ppl are going ape shit on the boss
maybe the fact that its only 60 second cd, which in general means its effectively not available for 45 seconds
makes it so strong
Any damage increase is worth
So it's 5% on paper but in practice it works out to way more when you include Battle Voice and Embolden and Battle Litany and Divination and Aetherpact......
A few % are really important on bosses
what about TCJ i heard ninja mains dont like the skill, why is that?
You can easily wipe at 5% cuz there werent enough trick attacks
You can't turn or move when using TCJ, for starters
i cant move?
No
n oshit
Yeah youre animation locked
i have to stand in place?
You have to stand completely still, can't even turn the camera, if you do the skill breaks
Until you cast 1 2 3 mudras
what
Yepppppppppp
who designed this skil land said "yeah thats good add it to the gfame
2s lock
how is ninja not a floor tank
well just like DRG jump
Trick attack makes up for it ig
maybe it will get removed/changed in endwalker?
Cuz they dont back flip off the damn stage
It's pretty easy to use TCJ in the opener because you generally don't have to dodge aoes that early in a fight
but mid fight

so in general, i will look up the balance guide but
Wouldnt count on it
i shouldnt use riaton or general
when trick attack is down
even if they are not on cooldown as in i have max charges
the way the opener works out you use one raiton immediately after TA ends
after?
yes
right
Yes
oh okay
yeah yeah
i guess thats fair considering how much damage it deals
i know ninja has a trick attack but
tcj is way weaker then i guess nastrond and stardiver for drg
i guess thats the price for having TA
where in gold saucer is the npc cuz I've been running around
it really isn't as weak as you think tbh
500+800+600 potency
what npc you seek?
oh right, the event npc
plus another 300 for the bhavacakra
have you done the quest line?
that you get by meisui-ing the suiton buff
ironworks vendor is near the main desk
yes
oh right
because suiton gets used up when i use TA yeah?
the first one
You use normal mudras for TA
and then i get the second one by tcj
then go into TCJ during TA, meisui the TCJ suiton
and since meisui has the same 2 minute cd as TCJ
you'll always use them together
so in practice TCJ is a 2200 potency wombo combo (assuming you get it all off) during TA
pretty huge
okay that is huge
ninja seems pretty chill tho, no?
you do pretty much nothing 123 for 45 sec
it's super busy during TA and then extremely chill afterwards ya
that's kinda what I like about it tbh
samurai seems way busier
You go HAM for 15 seconds and then kinda chill out
Sam is completely based on dots
You apply dot, do your thing, get 3 midaris off, repeat
But yeah party utility doesn’t exist
I find SAM way harder than NIN personally, SAM you have a lot of stuff to keep track of at once whereas NIN you just have to get the TA phase down to muscle memory
I mean in sam if you dont perfectly hit every hit your rotation cant even be finished, unless you cut some
Hi guys I have a question. I've recently come into some money that I want to spend on FF, and I want to do that by paying for a boost and maybe a story boost thing too. Although i'll probably only go for the boost. I wanted to ask you guys how it works since I've never done it before. If I boost a character does that mean the job they change to around 30/50 or whatever will be available to them, or they will be boosted with their base class?
So jobs are really just extended base classes, boosts complete all job quests for you
e.g. if you boost a Gladiator you will wind up as a level 70 paladin
You will get lv 70 on your class, all the content will be down-synced tho so I wouldn't suggest buying only character boost if you do it
I also would recommend story but that is up to you
I could do story too
Boosts are kind of all or nothing
Still have traumas to a lvl 70 paladin that didnt know how to provoke nor that you could attract enemies that are further away with ranged attacks. Coils is a strange place
I mean I recommend doing the story and not skipping
if it's your first job, don't boost the job and not boost story
Because then you'll wind up as a level 70 doing level 10 quests
But if you have no interest in it at all then feel free to skip
I just need to know which story boost to pick, because I've heard that some story boosts also boost the previous storylines.
And a follow up question: What about jobs that do not tie directly into a class, such as Rogue or Samurai?
I wouldnt recommend skipping the story but yeah, you do you
How would I go about that?
the higher the price, the more you skip
you'd have to pick that job up before you can boost it, which means you'd have to meet the requirements to get the job before you could boost
at least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works
How does rogue not tie into class? Either way class/jobs share exp so lv 80 ninja means you have a lv 80 rogue (if you remove job stone)
Ah, so basically I'll have to do that job and the prerequisites and stuff. That's fine, it's not that big of a deal to me.
Yeah but I wanted to boost from a low level, so I wouldn't have Rogue unlocked
Well, rogue unlocks at like level 10
So it's not like it takes a long time to get there
You can do like a lil bit of story, skip all cutscenes and get it at level 15 cuz thats when it unlocks iirc
Wouldn't recommend doing it for expansion classes
Cause they don't start at 1
Unlocks after doing your lv 10 class quest, but might need to do lv 15 msq if your starter city isn't Limsa lominsa
Yeah, it really isn't worth boosting SAM or RDM because they both start at 50
so you only get 20 levels out of the boost
True
Gnb and dnc too, lv 60 at start
That's why I was aiming for boosting a low level, freshly rolled character.
I don't think GNB or DNC even have boosts
Hw ones are 30 so 🤷
Dunno, never checked it, would be a waste tho so wouldn't be surprised if they don't exist (yet)
Yeah I'm on mogstation right now and they don't have any listed
Might be added in Endwalker tho
(but still a waste)
Yeah, and the way these jobs are designed, the rotations build on themselves as you level up
so it's a good idea to do those 20 levels
sam and rdm boosts rn are 20 levels
Ok, so what class and storyline would you recommend boosting that would give me the most out of it? I'm ideally looking for a DPS class, either magic or melee doesb't matter to me.
So you get a feel for how to play the game
gnb and dnc will be 20 levels too
Oh ye it's to 70
best boost value is summoner or scholar
🤷
I mean it depends on how interested you are in the story tbh
if you want to experience the best parts of the story I would just buy the ARR skip
jump directly into HW
You'll be confused tho
I would not recommend that
I say skip all or nothing
I mean, personally I wouldn't recommend skipping at all
Because even though ARR is kinda yeesh it's overall a good story
If you want the most out of it
play normally without boosts
ARR is rough, but jumping straight to HW is just frustrating
at least for your 1st job
feel like when i do fates i just dont do any damage at all? am i missing something
i woudlnt say that
are you syncing down to the FATE level?
Did you sync down?
onyl improtant things from arr
youa re a hero very good in primal slaying
scions are great
if you are too high level you won't be able to hurt a FATE target without first syncing down to its level
Character development
And the setup for HW. And the world building. And who hydaelyn and the bad guys are.
Well if you are going to skip it and don't care about story
Ok so the thing is I've got other characters that I don't plan on boosting, I just want to boost one
Might as well skip all
You wont feel anything for the characters in hw
HW is a confusing mess without the ARR setup
That attachment needs to be there for full enjoyment
Shb is confusing without arr 😂
You cannot enjoy HW without knowing why HW happens and why are you in the state that you are
does the ARR skip also skip the patches?
So I'll be doing the storylines etc many times over.
Why just one? Out of curiosity
yes
oh okXD
it skips all of 2.X
Look
Its not wow
1 char all jobs
Only do storyline once
yeah
Main Story is a one time thing
No need for it to be done multiple times
well then plan b
buy ARR skip
watch a youtube video that explaisn ARR story
you don't have multiple characters
You dont need an alt
Yeah, there's absolutely no need to roll alts in this game
Because I can't afford to boost them all, and also I want to do some good ol' levelling too. Just not for so many chars.
You can level all jobs on one character
you can play every class on one character.
And swap between them freely
You have 1 char
Anything else is because you want to re-experience story or rp or smth
That's fair, but i like having a lot of characters, so.
yeah yeah im syncing down, like i am doing damage it just seems very little compared to other people aha
I find that having the story explained to you doesn't really have the impact of actually experiencing it. Harder to appreciate what ARR sets up
this is an extremely alt unfriendly game.
You will have to redo the main scenario quest. Which is long.
I would suggest doing story on your main then, and buying a skip for alt later down the line
if the other people are blue mages that might be why, BLU is absolutely stupid busted for FATE grinding
It's not advised to create alts
But why
RP reasons. 😛
ahh right okay, thought maybe i was missing something aha
you can use fantasia(costs money) too change your character
Why not play the story on ur main, then boost an alt
Just drink fantasia and become the catgirl woman you've always dreamed of being
But yeah fantasia exists
Eh, like I said, it's more of a having a few different characters to RP as kind of thing.
hi guuys!
I just recommend to play with ur main and boost the alts youd want to rp with aside from the main one
Hi
one fast question
i want the mount from the DRK, the one from doing dungs/trials on extreme
and i was wondering
can i do that unsynch?
Yeah that's probably going to be the long term goal, as and when I have excess money.
Alright, but try to experience the story on at least one character. The experience of alts otherwise would be like playing multiple save files of a JRPG at once
Yes
like with the more epxenisv pay too paly option you can have 8 chars
the others can stay low lvl but only enter the main citys
time efficent, limited in places but allows rp
Yeah fair enough
Just boosting ur main to rp isnt worth it
No I won't be boosting my main, I'll be boosting a freshly rolled character.
The rp zones are available at low level anyway
It would probably drag for you otherwise and the consensus is that ARR tends to drag post credits on one character already
I'm fine with all of that. I just wanted advice on how to boost to my advantage if that makes sense. i can pay for a story boost too, but I wanted to ask about things like what would be a good DPS class to boost, etc. Magic or Melee, either's fine, as long as it's DPS
what you want too play^^
Balance in this game is pretty good so really any of them would be good to boost, it's more about what you enjoy playing
for max efficency one of the classes that starts at lvl 1
and we can't really tell you what you'll find fun
So I've sort of narrowed down my list to maybe Thaumaturge, Lancer (I think i forgot the name) and the Monk one. Or at a stretch, one of the other mag classes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_vH-1WZQ3A check this out, it has a basic summary of all the jobs and what they do
If this vid helped you pick a job lemme know, I wanna judge you on your choice :)

00:00 Intro
01:09 Dark Knight
02:03 Gunbreaker
02:47 Paladin
03:29 Warrior
04:16 Samu...
dragoon^^
Pick one that you llke the sound of and go with it
i play the jobs that look the coolest
Lancer is first class tho, so you're correct anyway
Yea go dragoon. If you die no one will be surprised by it
PLD SAM RDM
Arcanist would be the best to boost like previously mentioned if you wanna play healer you can switch to scholar which levels together with summoner
Sure, checking now
Summoner being the dps job and scholar the healer
Well lvling it up normally also lvls them both tho, so not much difference?
If youre tired of queue times, use scholar
Either way you get a 2-for-1 deal
Yup
I have a passionate hate against arcanist tho
Summoner or scholar not
Started arcanist to get a free Healer - ended up getting a free caster instead 
Arcanist, then, eh? It's a fun class, I played it a bit, that sounds like a solid choice.
But yeah arcanist=summoner and scholar

Thats the first time i heard someone level an arcanist to be healer
It's the most efficient job at leveling
cause you can use dps for open world
and a healer for them nasty quick queues
but yeah all boost /skips are optional^^
i played without any of that and enjoyed it
Yea, well meant to lvl it as a smn but tested out sch first and ended up liking it quite a bit
Still haven't tried smn 
Makes more sense as its also under the dps class list
Whm is the hardest class to play tho
2 button rotations

so is scholar 
Nah got a dot
Thats the second button
literally all 3 healers have a dot
Hmm fair lol
What about Thaumaturge? would they make sense to boost?
Yea. Sometimes you spam holy and other times you span whatever else that button is cause I'm yet to play healer
THAUMATURGE YOU SAY
Ive never had a good experience with a blm thats a random
Tbh if i played it id use flare only at full mana and nothing else, wait for mana to be full and use it again
Yea BLM is pretty easy to learn to play. Simple rotation
Pathetic
Quad flare or bust
flar-
Optimal way to play it
Full immersion
so you can get off 2 flares on 1 mana bar
No
double megumin
Flare full mana is the only flare that matters
Placebo makes that flare do more dps
Either way
Boosting any job only makes sense if you want to do something with that job
Oh I definitely do
Look up how it plays, see if you vibe with the playstyle and then boost away
All jobs have a story to that's worth experiencing
My blm hotbar would just be 36 slots of flare
Job stories are great. you get a mean lancer that likes to kill things to have courage, or become a pirate assassin, or you could exercise a cabbage patch kid. The sky's the limit

And in whm you have to save someones favorite tree
You can spell flare out with 5 hotbars
Well I always wanted to save the environment
I saw that cursed hotbar
Or cursed hud entirely
Now I can pretend that's what I wanted when I really just tried to finish the quest to cast holy
But I thought that's what you wanted
This entire hud is cursed
It hurts my eyes
Ok, last question. If it's not too much trouble could one of you link me to the page (ideally the EU site) that has all of the story and character boost options
I know just about enough of all the classes to know what I would want
Quik's twitter
My hud is perfect wdym

Less serious question, but if the ishgardian faith is called the Holy See, does that make the pope the ocean man?
do you have to do the roulette on a lvl 80 job to get lvl 80 tomestones?
this is based on a real thing
the real christian pope holds the "holy see"
Yes.
*catholic
So he's an IRL ocean man
yes
goddamitXD that bible guy
Willing to take me by the hand
To let me understand
Ocean man
well that's kind of a bummer but i guess at least it doesn't feel like you're missing out on stuff while you're leveling
best location for farming the harrow memories please?
fates in the dravanian hinterlands and azys Ila if you are solo or in bozja southern front in a party while cluster farming
any way to hide/remove this tooltip?
should be this
Whats that ui tho
is there any existant customer support for this game?
MaterialUI
Thank you very much. This worked
only imited and per mail iirc also rly slow atm sadly https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/b9970a7dde8d01d15b95798b42bd835fb522dfff
So how does this work? Eternal Bond registrations. Can you only schedule a wedding on fridays?
Hi guys sorry to interrupt you but I'm not able to find job or story boosts on the mogstation site, is it just buried deep under all of the cosmetic items?
You need to have finished the hard primal trials
It's on the FFXIV Online Store
is BLU the best way to farm allied seals?
All I see are boosts for like bards and samurai and such, I'm trying to find something for low level characterrs.
Unless of course this means that if I buy it I'll automatically be bumped up to samurai or ninja or w/e
Y’all do we get the XP boost from being 80 upon hitting lvl80 or finishing all of SHB?
Currently in 5.3
do we have countdown bot for the next live letter?
because im bad at time conversion and hopefully the bot will give me the time in my own time zone
!liveletter
