how's your gpu looking?
It's an igpu vega 8
I'm pretty sure it's my bottleneck
Gpu 100%
I also debloated windows 10 to get more ram usage.

Sorry for the phone pics 🤣 just easier to use my phone on discord.
how many different memory quests are there for resistance weapon so i can have them all at the same time
I also use AATU which basically gives me the option to raise my tdp which gave me about 15 more fps
5
Coloured, bitters, loathsome, artifacts and emotions
ah ok and do i need to get my alt jobs to 71 or 80
80
damn
To hold it
What do each housing NPCs do and why can't I find a resource that explains it?
So when I get on my mount, double jump to start flying and press control+R without pressing any directional key, the mount seems to fly at about half speed only. Is there a good reason for why that happens, or is it just a bug?
So many resources just have the icon and the useless item text, I have no idea what I am buying
Another question: At level 30 Conjurers go White Mage. Why does the Conjurer have actions and traits beyond level 30? It makes no sense to not have them on the white mage instead?
gee ok i just this this "Messenger of the Winds" and completed and turned it in and i still dont see the freaking car
yes, it is, but it makes no sense to tie them to the conjurer
the white mage is just an example for me
doesn't make sense for any class really
Gold saucer, ironworks hand vendor
what am i missing and i did see the effects getting the 2 items
See the pins
gee this is too much trouble
So if someone’s overleveled on cnj they actually feel stronger
The game literally told you
Once you turned the quest it
That the npc is available at the saucer now
ok how i get to the GC and i forgot
Teleport to it
Then unlock it in uldah
ok
Uldah use the airship

bro the guy just sends a random message in the chat
I dont know if hes joking or serious, so i tell him to go to sleep and go seek therapy
and said life is worth living and nothing is holding you back :/
I don't think this is the discord to ask such a question
Yeah, it is just the sudden message in the fc chat really scared me
How do I get better gear than Exarchic? And is it worth trying to get it with Endwalker a couple months away?
Revelation tomes and upgrading the gear via nier coins (or getting the upgrade mat from savage), Eden promise savage gear and relic weapon
Meant Cryptlurker not Exarchic, my b
Augmented cryptlurker and Eden promise savage gear are the highest ilvl gear
Are the weapons stronger than the ones you get from Bozjan Front?
is there a quest in the GC before i tour the GC go this out of the way ?
is there a meta TT deck...
Not really due to the way the rules work.
Grades 1-6 have a 100% retrieval, grade 7 has 80% chance and grade 8 has 40% chance
It's fixed.

hi guys, what type of armor should i be working towards entering shadowbringers? i have scaevan rn on drg
Scaevan will lasts to 75 story and dungeons
oh cool. theres no set to buy like ironworks and scaevan in shadowbringers right?
Current endgame uses different tomes
Not poetics
You'll earn them at 80 from 80 content
ok. tyty!
do i actually give em a healer to get the q done?
Is there a way to see what my current Clan Hunt Mark is?
Key items
quick question , I wanna level up my samourai and I just hit level 71 but I didn't made the bozja quest with my main , I've reach the quest Fire in the forge and if I take it with my summoner the game will give me a summoner weapon , my question is can I later get another weapon ( for my samourai job ? )
Please don't bring stuff up like that here. Thanks.
yes

does armoury bonus apply to roulette exp bonuses?
no
Armoury Bonus is only for combat xp afaik
Just like the endwalker earring and the ring from novice hall
thanks
Any good floors to farm Aetherpool up to 99?
What's the fastest raid in Alex, Omega and Eden, for memory farming?
Alex would probably be A1. Omega... O4, maybe, if I'm remembering fights correctly. Eden probably E2 or E4.
nice, thxs
O3 is pretty good cause most of the time u'll skip the phase where u have to do the "maze"
All of the O1-O4 is pretty close timing wise. Heck, O1-O7 isn't too far off from each other.
So I’m a new player and been playing for a few days. I can feel myself coming close to the end of ARR and want to know what the gear I should go for or, or raids I should fight, to be prepared for heaven sword. I am black mage, sorry.
HoH - spam 21+ iirc to the highest you can go, POTD just do 4mans 51+
And follow up question: is there a ShB dungeon exp chart floating around somewhere
Anyone know when we might see a job expo before Endwalker?
Oh, I didn't know that's what that was going to be. Good to know!
I stopped getting Aetherpool for a while now
Doing only 51-60
It even directly states it in the lodestone post
so this might be a silly question but does anyone have any suggestions for making some friends in the game? I have played through ARR, HW, Stormblood and Shadowbringers by myself-I didn't mind that, I loved the story and it was basically a JRPG for me. but now that I've hit what I guess is called "end game" I'd love to be able to sit and chat and relax with people-but I don't really know where to start looking. Any tips?
getting the car is harder than it looks and im at the GC and got to play to get 200k MGP and i have had enough of this and im going to forget ever getting the car and this is an severe overkill and im done
200k is like 2 weeks of casually doing challenge log and fashion report
It's really cheap in retrospect
Cactpot too
Most people will recommend that you join an FC
most people who I interact with in-game are my FC or my raid static, but the latter probably isn't what you're looking atm
51+ and keep going
is doton still worse than raiton on 1 target when it doesnt move?
For the most part yes
That steps into the ultra extreme sub 0.01% optimisation
Where you need to consider whether the extra button press won't lose you a gcd in the fight
where do I get master goldsmith III recipe?

buy it with yellow scrips
All books after 2 are scrips
but you need to have completed the quest "just tooling around" in mor dhona to unlock the master recipes
thx
hello hello i come asking for help: where do i use tomestones in revenant's toll
Aurina and Aelina
For Samurai, do you not open with Meikyo Shisui? Is it better to get Shifu and Jinpu up first before using Meikyo?
good looks good looks thanks
Yes get your buffs up first
Yes it's better to get your buffs first
!faq samrotation
Nice, though I need to get better at reading the images lol
O.o funny since most Sam players probably have the opposite problem
hi, may I see a scholar or summoner's hotbat, any will do
Hey I’m coming up to the end of ARR and would like to know what raid to grind for black mage? Idk if there is a specific raid or if any one raid is good to get prepped a bit for heavensword.
Ok thank you
For the card game when can I have 2 4 star, and 1 5 star in the deck?
I have 1 5 star, and 1 4 star, but I've seen an Ai that uses 2 4 star and 1 5 star I think so I want to know, lol XD
AI cheats
Oh wow, lol XD
So we can only use 2 4 star, and 1 5 star? Lol XD
sometimes there are rules exactly because the AI cheats that might help you win though, stuff like fallen ace
only two 4+ star, and in those two only one 5 star
so the best you can have is three 3, one 4, and one 5
I see. Oh well, lol XD
come on, someone must have a summoner/scholar hotbar, I need to see what it looks like to have an idea on how to organize it
I'm not logged in currently 😩
It's gonna highly depend on how you organise yours. Take your time and read the abilities.
i tend to just organize by how frequently i use actions, or how long they take to come back from cooldown
okay, so,
Scholar hotbar, level 67, subject to change.
of course I'm reading the abilities, and want to put the most frequent abilities on accessible places
but at the moment I am leveling up arcanist
and I want to put buttons places where it's going to feel somewhat comfortable
I use an MMO mouse, 1-6 are the most easily reachable buttons
yeah, this should help
mind you half of it doesn't make sense yet but once it does...
oh yeah, where does the pet hotbar go
I haven't had the mouse long, but my left thumb rests at about where the 5 is. 5 is the aoe gcd, 6 is single target gcd, 4 is an instant cast. 1-3 are the main dps spells. The rest you don't use as often. Physick's still on 9 because of levelling duties
My pet hotbar is just above chat on the left
The only command you use is place to move your pet into position.
I leave it on guard all the time. I probably shouldn't though. I haven't micromanaged the pet since levelling Arcanist at like level 5, to stop carbuncle pulling multiple mobs.
Does anyone know if 'Coils of Bahamut' is relevant for anything in the ARR (2.0+) Story?
Or is it just for before that?
It's 1.0 wrap up and additional twin backstory
Yea it is basically the conclusion of the stuff that happens at the last 2.0 cutscene.
You'll probably get some different dialog as well in Heavensward I think.
So it's for everything that happened before ARR basically?
Yea it's part of 1.0 ending story and 2.0.
Is there a most profitable minigame in the golden saucer for the ff15 event?
have you been doing the challenge log
Gates, specifically the slice is right. Challenge log is good.
Fashion Report
Yes I have that planned but my question is is there a most profitable minigame
Thank you!
Lord of vermin ion gives like 25k mgp
gates is weekly too
You can just afk it.
I mean, fashion
The mining/tree cutting game if you're good at it
I think a friend told me winning higher rank chocobo races is about 1k every win?
Do food exp bonuses apply to crafting classes?
Should probably note it's hard af most weeks if you're on the free trial
Nope im a sub 🙂
how much is the reward for 100 points
60k
how do i solo ifrit? i only have my ninja at 80 and im going as slow as possible for the vulnerable stacks to wear off but im still dying lmao
10k for trying.,50k for 80+
Even if it's not relevant then, it's annyoing that such an amazing looking raid has basically been forgotten
From the Videos i've seen it really looks amazing
It's not in ANY roulettes
r u going in synced ? you should barely take any damage at all at lvl80
nah unsynced, all the other ones are easy
idk man
It's equiliant to savage difficulty for modern raifs
No sane people que for extremes and up content
Are they really that difficult?
Yes
I've not done extreme, yet
The game actually attempts to kill you
Hard hasn't been too bad really
So extreme is that much harder?
Yes
That's crazy. Definitely wanna do extreme now^^
And savage is even higher up than extreme right
Yes
And then there's Ultimate
Yes
Well damn
I wonder if i will ever be able to complete a Ultimate
If Extreme and savage are already that hard lol
can i do solo unsynced party
yes
If you're much higher level yes
although... how long is the msq for HW until I get to the hard content?
Extremes and savages unlock after you finish the Base story of that era
After doing the relevant normal modes ofc
how hard are savages compared to the extremes?
They're a step up
Mechanics will definitely one shot on fail unless you have high mitigation with a high chance of wiping the group
And ofc much more damage, health and faster mechanics
if I queue for it using party finder, is it more likely I will find people that know what the boss does than in extremes
Yes cause people using party finder often aren't complete mouth breathers and have brains enough to read guides
totally expecting the "don't queue for it using party finder" answer
Alternatively just Unsync it if you just want the rewards
if you use party finder you should be fine, as long as the group makes their expectations clear
if you use duty finder i would argue you literally have a 0% chance of clearing the content
so the DPSes keep dying to mechanics, no matter how high I go
The first fight or two of a savage tier are generally equivalent or a bit higher than the average extreme fight
With the 3rd being harder and 4th being much harder
is there a way to check if I already finished a quest?

@obsidian patio May i ask you questions about FFXIV PC error codes? 😈
You’d get the exact same answers from google if you asked me.
Because that’s what I do as a console player.
!faq contentunlock
Beat the normal tier
Then do a blue quest in the area
Said blue quest is just talk to an npc
'normal' of savage is extreme then?
Or you mean normal normal
Don't know if anyone answered this, but the answer is yes.
Extreme trials.
No
No
It's extremes
Thanks
Savages are harder than extremes
General rule of thumb
Although there are some extremes that are around savage in difficulty
No
hard? 
No
Wait really
Hard is an arr remnant of old systems
It's basically meaningless
It just meant 8 man trial
Or remixed dungeon
Anything with (Hard) is still casual content
Hard as a label gets dropped halfway through Heavensward for trials
Except for dungeons
And for dungeons, (hard) basically just means revisiting a dungeon in a new layout
do you really need a fully pentamelded aesthete's gearset to work on the crafter's relics?
No, but it'll make it a lot easier
That's about 100 extra points of stats per piece of gear
Aight, so extreme for trials and savage for raids. Ignore hard (unless for dungeons because they have different layouts) yeah, got it now.... (I think)
Especially since the final step involves expert crafts
Extreme for trials, savage for trades, hard means nothing
But don't ignore trials that are labelled hard
i collected 7 gwibs, where do i claim the zoids
Lochs
yeah my stats are like 200 off what the macros i have on hand recommend, so i guess i'll focus on pentamelding and then work on them.
Didn't you just say i was supposed to ignore it
But not for trials
Ignore as in it doesn't mean anything
Not ignore as in don't do them
Ah, gotchja
It seems crazy to me that hard/normal to extreme/savage is supposed to be such a difference in difficulty
extreme/savage are for people who want challenges
im at the lochs now, is it somewhere at the unexplored area?
No
It's right behind you
Some ironworks tech
You could have looked around for 30 seconds before sending the full map yknkw
So then what's Ultimate for xD
Crazy people
im thinking about the blue icon
It's never a blue icon
u know, unlock quest marker.
it's my first one, never did the other guys since they dont appeal to me. zoids is cool
Kirin is basically free since you can steamroll the arr primals at level 80 solo
are the delivery npcs from Shadowbringers "better"?
like I get better stuff from them when I deliver there?
Is there a way to share all configs from one character to another? Tried copying files from \Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn over to the new character, but it doesn't save keybinds.
´when I hit collectable to 1000 I get most rewards?
The break points can be found while talking to the collectible appraiser
Okay I did lvl 36 Duty roulette levelling and it gave me like 160-180k exp yesterday
I did lvl 37 roulette today and only earned 135k bonus exp anyone know why that is?
iLvl 521 with full melds is a-ok for basically 99% of all content in the game right?
a blend of aug exarch and aug cryptlurker
Did you take into account the xp earned from killing mobs?
yeah more than enough
Uhh... no I just counted the "bonus for using daily roulette"
It's low today when I have a higher level
weird
Ah
going to be overwhelming learning all of SCH's kit at 80 all at once never having healed a single duty before...
It's based on your level and the duty you get
If you get a duty closer to your level it will give less
Due to more mob xp
Hello, is there a website where we can check what piece of furniture used in this particular screenshot? its housing
i would like to use it my private chamber
ye
Thanks. 1 is pretty easy but it has a bunch of rp cutscenes so wasn't sure about that one
You can set it to skip cutscenes you’ve already seen
Probably won't hurt to run some 4s and grab the achievement and I can't remember if 2 is faster since it's never untargetable
Can you skip the transition cutscenes?
no
queue 1-4 whenever popped first, lol
If you mean that ff8 attack animation and stuff like that no
Dumb question since it might already be answered somewhere, but is there a discord server for finding Baldesian Arsenal groups in Primal DC?
What is the date of the live letter?

Awesome! Is that the event where they are supposed to show the new class actions?
Hi, Guys sorry for this dumb question but i've tried looking for what this control option is called but can't find it --- I want to set my keyboard arrow keys to cycle to the yes/no prompts or when the gathering window shows me a list to use arrow key up/down to move the thingy. What is that called in the settings? Thanks!
Buy better hardware
Changing the graphics options doesn't change a lot in FFXIV, as FFXIV is SINGLE CORE CPU bound
in the more advanced eureka area is it a must to have the relic or not really?
cause im taking the relic of a job i don't actually use in eureka
im taking samurai relic which is really bad and boring at 70 so i play ninja in it
You want the relic for the elemental bonus
weird question is there any ARR dungeon sets that are worth trying to get
So ideally yes once you're in the 4th instance of eureka
For stats, no
What is the best way to farm mataeria 1 to 4 for ARR relic weapon?
its frustrating that I can only use glamour plates on major cities, any way to get around that? I would like to change to a different glamour plate without having to go to a city
@leaden ginkgo you go to a city anyways 
is there a macro for shukuchi for ninja to auto target ally and teleport to them?
Hai guys, so I know if I had purchased the Starter Pack (Reborn + Heavensward) off SEnix then I cant buy expansions through steam... but can I buy them through other websites like GreenManGaming?
Green man is relatively trusted
when they send me to farm 6 kinds of Memory, they are 30 of each, right?
They had a sale recently that was recommended here
Is that a yes then? I can buy an expansion through something other than SEnix?
And I'm queuing for A1, O3,O4,E2,E4. are those the fastest?
Yes but do so at your own risk
Thank you 🙂
If you don't have the achievements it won't hurt to do 8/12 while you're at it
I could, but because the limit of max que is 5, I wanted to do what'll take me less time
Also
It's entirely about the combat update yes
Also it's easier to get the 1/2 drops in Zadnor since they drop from skirmishes
What u mean with 1/2 drop, can I get 2 drops from 1 skirmish in zadnor?
Floors 1-2
There's 2 types of drop
One drops from 1/2, 5/6,9/10
The other from 3/4 etx
In Zadnor the first drop is from Skirmishes the second is from critical engagements, you get 2 per critical engagement
You need 30 of each drop
I don quite get what that means XDD sorry Im a little sleepy and I only remmeber that Alex gives 2 kinds of memory, Omega other 2 and Eden the last 2
I remember they saying Zadnor is an alternative way to get some, and IIRC PotD too
Hello. Can someone provide a link to
the Gold Saucer page in the resources channel please. Cant access it, for some strange reason.
Want to look up Triple Triad.
nice, and which option for each memory is the fastest one?
Zadnor for all the skirmish ones while queing for ces, then finish up with Alex/Eden/omega 3 for the CE memories
Can I get memories doing Alex and Omega Unsync?
This quest says it requires dungeon: Aurum Vale but I have it unlocked, does this mean I need to do it?
No it has to be synced
Cause this relic quest isn't necessarily hard its just a large time dump
It's like do "x" dungeon, which doesn't sound bad, but then its like oh you need this dungeon completed to unlock it, then you need this dungeon for that dungeon. like seriously 😦
So does anyone know how I can fix the bug of the MSQ “ye of little faith” where the character I’m supposed to talk to isn’t spawning even after relogging?
Are you sure you haven't missed a step in the quest?
hey all, just wondering, are people allowed to restream the live letters?
it's not bugged, the npc is beneath you
Nope, it says to talk to this npc but they aren’t there and I’ve checked upstairs and downstairs
That's in the small village area of coerthas right
Cause there's another downstairs area
Not sure if it was answered but no resellers sell steam keys
The Basement
you have to go outside and down.
So the only place to get the expansion is steam
If the quest marker has an arrow going up or down
Yeah in whitebrim, the character wasn’t there
There's another downstairs
Kept relogging and she appeared
is there a particular kind of materia that is best for tanks? sorry if this is a dumb question materia is confusing for me.
@vague warren From my personal experience, Skill Speed is good
It slightly lowers your gcd
Critical Hit is also important since it determines both the power and freqeuency of them
how you play casters, my Arcanist seems so slow( my main is Monk ;p ) I just wanna hit 30 so I can queue as Scholar,..taste those fast quees
@serene steppe Thank you!
!faq balance
Materia priorities for each job inside
oh cool
also,.is roulette worth it after you got your reward? or should I just pick an choose?
k
From roulettes after the bonus
ty
@rustic badge After roulette, people generally spam the highest level dungeon they have available to level
EXCEPT level 50, 60 and 70 dungeons
Those give out far lower xp
Become a lieutenant
what does that symbol means?
ty
is hw dungeon the vault soloable on sam
If you're high level
cool
And have high level gear

Hey, I see people with their mount out and following them, how do you do that? mainly the chocobo
You can unlock the ability to have your chocobo also be an overworld party member and fight alongside you when you reach level 30 and have completed the quest My Feisty Little Chocobo . As the tutorial states, you do need to feed your bird gysahl greens in order to summon them. Click here for a list of npcs that sell them.
What trees do spec into for my chocobo?
The typically recommended chocobo skill point allocation is to get 4 ranks into the healing tree for choco cure, followed by maxing out the DPS tree. The tank tree does not allow your chicken to gain enough enmity to surpass your own output, so its shelved for last. You can eventually max out every tree, though to level your chocobo past rank 10 you will need Thavnairian Onions

this dungeon incompletion thing happened again?? I 100 percent cleared the rematch job quest for gladiator and even got the stone. I log out and I even have the armor I got in the dungeon but the quest is saying incomplete again??
no I cleared it
yeah
I got out
I even sent someone a tell outside
before closing the game
have you watch the cutscene after the instance fight?
Am I correct in saying that relic weapons can be "traded in" in helping craft the relic weapon that comes in the DLC after?
I even saw the next quest after I got out: return the stone to someone. then I log back in its gone and saying I need to do the quest again. Is this some server issue?? Client shouldnt do this right?
the stone in your key item
it's gone
I have a question: To get married in game, do both people need to buy the devotion thingy or only one?
I can't say I ever experienced a glitch like this
Both
Well I got mixed answers, someone who got married recently said only one needs to buy it
Ty though!
how do I access the fashion report? I'm at the masked rose now but when I click them, it doesn't initiate anything for me.
friday is when it open for judging

Hello. Can someone provide a link to

Want to look up Triple Triad.
@sick knot And before that, you need to do an introductory quest to unlock fashion report the first time. Its somewhere in the saucer
@proud willow Thank you!
Passion for Fashion maybe?
Yup, that one
Triple triad is a fun game IMO
I played it for the first time yesterday and a version in final fantasy 9
I played for like 5 hrs
I just received Adloquium as Scholar level 30. If I go into a level 28 dungeon do I lose it? Revert to Arcanist?!
- yes
- no
if you queue under 28 you 're still a scholar with access to its starting kit
you just don't have adlo so you use physick
And whispering dawn
ah,..cool. Faire stays
So it seems the companion app doesn't like Bluestacks. Anyone know what I can do to fix it?
so i wanna look at the price for steam sub but i cant find it
oooh ok
Hi, question for someone. How come I can't get to Mist to buy an aparement? Everything I try.. it's greyed out?
The ability to play the game

If you don't sub after buying, you can't play
but i can already play it
Cause you're trial
i mean whats the diff between trial and sub
After buying you need to sub
The sub let's you continue playing after you buy
You can't revert back to the trial
!faq buy
Anyone able to trade a non steam pc collectors edition of endwalker for a steam one?
On gear, the level is yellow, what does htat mean?
it's scaled down to your level in the duty
I was gonna buy it off vendor
Don’t buy vendor gear it’s not worth it
Are folklore tomes worth getting?
They're the legendary nodes that have the higher ranked mats for that level range
Like the mats for exarchic and pots etc
I've only just started ShB. I'm planning to level DRK for it before I head deeper into the story.
But my DRG is Level 77, so I'm almost able to use Exarchic at this point.
hey,..I just did Hauke Manor, l28 dungeon, and it let me keep my level 30 Adloquium skill.
maybe they felt bad for me
I am only level 31,..did it bump me up?
ok,..I thought if you got synced down to below the level of a spell you lose it for the dungeon.
And dungeons have like a 3 ish level range if you're within its range where it won't touch you
And you do but haukke doesn't take you under 30
so new character right now.. from what i understand now the data center is what is important for who you play with now right? so if my friend is on Coeurl but of course they are mad full I can make a character somewhere else and play with them? just cant join their FC?
sweet. id love to be able to get on Coeurl but their server is ALWAYS full.
!status Coeurl
heard that. im more worried im gonna get on and then they're gonna quit playing. theyve done it before. but given this games popularity right now it shouldnt be hard to find others to play with
I would suggest joining in the middle of the might
Try 1-4 am
NA servers are usually sleeping by then
good to know.
are these worth anytihng anymore? or can i get rid of them,
I believe the Calamity salvager can trade them into regular prisms
okay so the rest are useless?
Are there Tradecraft suppliers that sell higher end crafting supplies?
You can get rid of them
Only glamour prisms and glamour dispellers matter
For example, straw... I don't see that in the tradecraft supply merchant.
is rage of halone necessary for the fast blade riot blade rage of halone combo pre lv 60? the animation lock is so long
straw in the housing district
The animation lock is identical across all skills
You always finish the combo
what happens if I lose my phone with my square enix token app on it? how can I log in?
Only movement skills have longer locks
there are guild supply, tradecraft supply in market place, in housing district, restricted usually sold by beast tribe
Either use the emergency removal code you get given or contact support
is anyone really good at crafting here? i am quite new to the game but i am thinking of starting to level my crafting skills. i've watched a video of youtube tutorials already but my main question is if it is true that i cannot/must not start crafting until i'm done with heavensward?
just start it
You can if you want
You just get a good levelling method for 20+ in heavensward
oh ok fb and rb seems a lot shorter
Every skill has a 0.7s animation lock
The whole animation literally doesn't matter
They could entirely be deleted from the game and you could still play fine
because my main concern is that i'm a free trial player and i'm waiting for the new expansion to come out so that i can get the complete edition and save money instead of buying the complete edition now. so i am at level 54 and im gonna be capped at 60 so i'm trying to not proceed with the MSQ and such cuz i feel like i'm wasting gils (capped at 300k) and exp. which is why i'm thinking of crafting.
Rewards are random
how do i unlock squadrons
If you’ve unlocked the challenge log
you need to finish GC hunting log rank 2 and the GC mission
It’s from your commander
this doesnt look random to me 
You need to unlock challenge logs as well
which one should i do
If you haven't for some godly reason
is there a way to check dps?
With an add-on named ACT
Only with 3rd party programme
!faq ACT
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
oh this would be so nice lol
just dont talk about it ingame and you are fine
kk ty!
!quest Squadron and Commander (maelstrom)
if you unsync open all the box then turn in all of them to expert deliveries
If i have a relic weapon with materia, and i upgrade it, do the materia dissapear?
oh ok, thanks
Is it safe to put relics in the glam dresser until you’re ready to progress them again?
They can't go in the dresser once they have custom stats
But up until then?
Yes
Okay. Thanks. I need way more poetics than im gonna get anytime soon.
Remember that doing Wondrous Tails can give you 500 Poetics per week.
Does it matter which grand company I join?
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
i think uldah/flames
because its like right outside the main aetherite and to the right
but i also don't know where the others are because flame gang for life
Flame gang for life (until they change the proximity to teleport)
anyone know why i cant wear armor bc it doesnt fit my class and if i can change the melding
Change class?
but i like my class
i just got the armor on main quest
but it wont let me equip it
Then you cant wear em :v
You can always glamour
its bc of the melding rigt?
melding is just add gems (called materia) to your gear slots
yeah its a chance of success later on but i think its 100% til 70
something like that
Whatever is spirit bound you can most likey remove the material iirc
Is there something like the RuneLite launcher for OSRS but for FFXIV? I want so bad to have a button that when I click it'll take me to the lodestone page for the next item I click, or a wiki page, or something of the sort.
spiritbond and extraction is not the same as materia retrieval
Ah
extracting a materia once you've reached 100% spiritbond with an item basically lets you create a materia, and resets the item's spiritbond to 1%
I get it
Im still at a point that haven't had to even think about optimizing with materia
How do I get to this quest?
dive into this pool
how do you do that
default is ctrl+space on keyboard
thank you
Can i sell the level 45 and 50 job quest equipment to my GC and still be able to buy it from the shop in town later?
can't exchange the job specific gear to the gc but you can rebuy it from calamity salvager if you decide to toss it yes
Ah okay
I wish it wasn't listed, or that the menu wouldn't take forever to sell things
can you get poetics outside the roulette dungeons
When am i supposed to use fan dance from dancer?
The move doesnt hit hard at all
doing any cap level dungeon will reward poetic, to be precise, any boss you kill inside give a part of the total reward, so 10/20/30/40 for a total of 100 as shown in the dungeon information and should there are at least 1 first timer, you get addition as well
fan dance is used to supplement damage when you reach 4 stacks and should be used right away
once you level up more you will get fan dance 3
Is it bad if i use it right away after gaining 1 stacks of it?
at lower levels, before you have devilment and technical step, its ok to use immediately
yes, you can use it right away for now
but once you get higher in level and you have the skills i mentioned, you want to hold onto atleast 2-3 stacks of them for your burst phase
I see ok thanks
@umbral dune thank you i found it now. I only saw the rewards on the roulette at first
What do these two symbols next to their names mean?
its a hold over from 1.0 where it represented the monsters strength
really doesn't mean much these days tbh
you probably only need to remember blue is passive
Wow so many antequated systems... they really need to go through and trim all of this fat.
an unfortunate by-product of a rushed schedule to remake a game within like a 2yr window
plus its not really hurting anything so no reason to mess with it

does road to lvl 70 work on DoH/DoL jobs?
yes
how to i get my eq durability to 199%
i repair it to 100% but the repair is grey ouy
be a crafter, and repair your gear at 99%
You repair it yourself when the durability is at 99
oh
NPC repair don't go above 100
i can't repair it at 100% right ?
i see, thx
is there a better way to get yellow scrips other than custom deliveries and the hourly or so collectibles?
im trying to get gear for my retainer and it just seems less than effective
Standard collectibles are meant to be grindy
Umm, crafting beast tribe should rewards some scrip too, but that's it
do you need to have doh levels to put materia in stuff
My bad
NPC can do it
at least one crafter at the level of the gear if you dont want to NPC meld
Look for melder, Hammer icon on mini map
the non-timed node collectables are always available but that said they don't give as good of scrip gear as the time node collectables
Take note that NPC melder cannot do forbidden melds (melding materia in hidden slots)
Ah
is there a specific crafter or gatherer job i should start with or is anything fine
why is devilment used after tech/standard step in the opener?
devilment doesn't buff steps?
The recommendation is doing them all together
how do u do all of them together?
Because they are dependent on each other for processed material
For example, do make an arm guard, you might need leather, glue, catalyst, metal, and gemstone
Which comes from leatherworker, alchemist, blacksmith, and goldsmith
so i should just unlock all of them and then if i need something from another i just do that
because you get more gcds into devilment's window using it after tech
keep in mind if you use it before, you're spending 4 gcds doing tech steps
On which to start with, it doesn't matter for crafters because you can just buy materials from the crafting guild and grind to level 15
thats 4 gcds of no dmg
Afterward, you'd start needing stuffs from other crafters
there are somtimes where you may want to do devilment before tech
based on who your dance partner is
but generally you do it after to get the most out of devilment window
okay thanks

Can I join a free company as a ft user?
no
Nope
Free trial severely limits your social and inventory capabilities
So wait how do I get a mount xd
!faq mounts
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Lv20 story after joining a GRAND company for the story
Ok so how do I join a -grand- company
You’ll know when
aite
It's very obvious
Can you change how retainers look or their race without firing and rehiring new ones at level 1?
Are retainers also full version only?
Retainer Fantasias exist
Yeah
Is that to me or lore
Free trial
:c
It is pain at times
you need to buy starter to use retianer
But so much gameplay
how do you get retainer fantasia?
quick venture or can buy from mb
Real money
ty
Today was the first day i was in a party with someone that wasn't in a dungeon lol
I at the start wanted to play with my friend, but we're both free trial

What's the OST that plays when you do epic things? I don't know how else to describe it. ||IT's the one that plays when you first destroy Lahabrea after Ultima and when you engage Ascian Prime in the Aetherochemical||
hello. first time poster. I have been having dificulty switching from keboard and mouse to gamepad mode. no matter what i do the big toggle in character config won't switch over, and i have tried looking on google for help and it seems that this is not common.
can u remove aetherpool to make an aetherpool grip if u only have 10 aetherpool
nvm mind. it fixed itself for no apparent reason. so sorry for the trouble
Out of curiosity, why do people do hunts? What’s the purpose of it
How many Tam-tara runs does it usually take to finish the 2000 light part of the zodiac weapon?
There are mounts if you do an unreasonable number.
get currency to buy materia, upgrade tokens for tomestone gear, glamour/mounts
Ah okay
are there fates trains for bozja?
How do you apply titles after unlocking them?
Character > Profile > paper icon next to your name.
How do i get scale gear? I heard for lancer/dragoon its best to get scale gear at lvl 20….
Especially for solo mobs etc
Idk what that is though ive only gotten armor in shops
Thank you! Dunno why it's buried in there
yes, when people are looking for a party in shout chat, that's typically what it is - hitting one skirmish (fates in bozja) to the next
do you need an active subscription to be able to recruit a friend?
Oh i found out nvm

Hey sorry to disturb, in The Grand Cosmos leannan sith's boss fight has this pick up the seed and move part
do you know how to change the keybind for drop the seed?
Can I have a macro post to my chat only for indicating that it has finished? Like, I want the text "macro done", but I dont want to post it to anyone else but me.
what other see based on their settings, you can not decide that
how do i move the mount button down?
this is applied to my "duty action" as well they seemed to be locked
hud layout>switch from basic to duty
try /echo
i attempted that but it didnt work
it replaces my hotbar 1 when i pick up the seed
while the mount side i just cant move it
What pieces do I prioritize first if I'm kitting out a new lv50 class with poetics gear? 
thanks. that should be good for what I want
Weapon chest leg then whatever is lowest
If its your first job MSQ will provide you with levelling gear
as for the mount, character configuration>scroll down to last line and untick the box
I'm using the lv50 set from my job quest atm
if its your first job the msq will provide you with more gear as you progress
the mount stuff there because the option to auto replace hotbar 1 with pet hotbar on
poetics is nice to have but not a must, weapon > chest/legs > left side > right side
is there really no way to get more leve allowance faster?
oh nono i mean how do i move the button
nope
Drag it to a different hotbar slot
are you using 6x2 format?
It doesnt allow me to it's stuck
yea
unlock hotbar
i can't flip the 6x2
it's unlocked, if unlock mean the icon with a lock is opened
i think you can choose a 2x6?
I'm not getting any for a while
Post ARR
Patch quests give gear
it'll give you gear around the level of the content you are doing ending at i115
i couldn't choose 2x6 if that an option
which is enough for the msq
@minor sapphire in the hud layout, choose the hot bar and click the gear icon, tick what format you want then save the change
oh sorry not that 2x6 sorry
basically when i changed it to 6x2 the first button became the one ontop
Thanks 
and alot of key suddenly became binded to ctrl+numbers
in the screenshot im wondering how to move the mount's special move button as well as that drop the seed thing
that is default to slot 1
preatorium's mount also has issue and appeared ontop eg
no way to change it
i just make 4 rows and
made the bar transparent
so that if there is no ability there
nothing will show up
i used to do that but i ran out of extra slots for class change
yeah i tried other configurations too but
so i changed it all to this to save hot bars
how do i not fall off of the boat in leviathan?
the special abilities thing sucks
listen to the sound effects
it'll tell you where he is before you can see it
watch the water spot, be on the other side of it so the draw in drag you half the platform and not fall off
Is cryptlurker the lvl 80 tomestones gear? Does it unlock automatically once you finish shadowbringers?
I dont understand why they even bind it
it is actually the pet hotbar when you ride a mount with special ability
I can't move the stuff in the pet hotbar as well i attempted
if i recall the moment you can buy from the vendor is where you can buy it all
those are all fixed
so alphinaud is technically my pet? :3
you ride alphinualt? i dont think so
this is my pet hotbar when i ride the polar bear from last event
there are 2 lvl 80 gears crystarium and cryptlurker
Cryptlurker is the better one
crystarium being the easier of the two to obtain, although i recommend you just gear one class and farm The Last Dungeon for 505 gear (crypt is 520, while crystal is490)
Market gear HQ can be traded in for 520 augumented gear
If you got the cash, that's the fastest way
am I reading this right? letter from producer thingie starts at 2 after midnight GMT?
or did they use the wrong format to mean 2 after midday
yes
its 2am for GMT
well damn i'm gmt+5
it morning for japan
need to keep in mind that the devs are JP
so the times are going to be best for them
which is generally the morning
it's pretty awful for all europe though
🤷♂️ someone always loses with these things
yup
plus this is going to be translated live and there are going to be vods
does anyone know if there are people in this discord that can recieve a refer a friend code. I want the twintania mount but I dont know anyone thats eligible
you need to recruit new players for the gold feathers
yes im aware
im trying to get help in finding those ppl. I just dont know if theres an easier way
it's generally bad manners to just go advertise your recruitment code in public placs
there are some subreddits for that
well, im not doing that. im just messaging ppl
there you go
You kinda are tho
im kinda what
there is #614267783080968222 segment in this discord, you can post it there
change jp to any other data center
hello, how do i unlock Sea of Clouds - Sector 20 and up, i've been sending my rank 50 airship with a rank 50 surveillance component equipped, to sector 19 so many times and it didn't unlock it, am i missing something
When doing the gift of the archmagus.. do I need to do the full raid?... I don't have ~60-90 minutes at the moment but I want to progress the storyline.
- If I set that time aside, it doesn't explain how to obtain the pearls. How do I do that?
finish each raid one to get the 3 orbs for the quest
That's exactly what I didn't wnt to do*. Thank you. I'll set that time aside now.
and gift of the archmagus is after you finish the raid series
you dont need to do that for the msq
gift of the archmagus is a completely optional quest, it's not required for msq
Does my chocobo have to stay stabled to change colors? Or can I bring him out now that I've fed him?
so it entirely optional
oh.
yes need to wait the full 6hrs before removing
Thank you. So much less to do now.
ha! compared to the amount of content in the game that is a drop in the bucket

saw a message in a thread that ARR relics need 72 low level materia... is it per weapon?
75 and per weapon
oof, good thing i never sold any of mine
Hi guys, I have a question about the Ninja job. So I always like the concept of stealthy spellblades - do the Ninjas use magic as well, or are they a purely physical damage class? Asking because I RP too.
all jobs use 'magic' in some capacity as your character is using aether to infuse their actions
it just wouldn't be as flashy without it
Mudras are magic, yes
Ah sweet, thanks to both of you for responding!
basically if on the tooltip it says "deals <unaspected/elemental type>" its magic
even the attacks that don't say that look magical
geirskogul looks clearly magical
how to spell it though? geir-sko-gul?
Spell?
yeah, it kinda sounds german to me
its norse
Is there another way you can turn the camera freely without right clicking it or A&D.. I want to turn it with just a mouse sensor.
norse is basically german (uh-oh don't hit me)
Is there a way to replicate mouseover macros that function similarly to those in wow?
It's been so long since I've had to click on someone to heal them 
how do they function in wow?
just mouseover?
I hover my mouse over their party frame then press my spell hotkey
Then it casts it on them
guys
you can make a macro with <mo>
No targeting required
how important is food?
you can make mouseover macros, but they're not generally recommended.
i never buy it
but its not reccomended yea
you can use a third party launcher to make them a bit better if you're on pc
!faq xivlauncher
only for extreme and above content
should say tho, like if you can get comfortable with manually target healing you should
I can get used to it otherwise
but mouse over macros for healing isnt the worse possible choice
since the bulk of healing is thru ogcds
the problem with macros is that they dont queue for gcds
