Don’t stand in bad, attack healer enemies, etc
Oops. Wrong reply
how do I increase rank of my squadron?
Again, I just want to do it if able. Because it bugs me it's not done.
Yes this.
Role dps
Level them up by doing missions
Class/job can be whatever
Wait. Is melee DPS and ranges DPS the same role for some reason?
It's dps role
That's very strange.
The Role is DPS
their type is different but they're still both dps
the red sword icon is the generic DPS icon
3 Subsections of dps, but they’re still dps
even mages do the same exercises (though they get robes as a reward instead)
So I didn't miss a hall of Novice thing. Good.
@opaque heart
At lvl 20 and 40, there will be a flagged mission
Doing that will rank up the squadron
how to level them up most efficient
Is it a no-no to see if anyone wants to use my friend code? I don't want to step on any toes and post it, nor do I know of a place for such a thing, so I thought I'd ask here before anything.
there's a subreddit for giving/receiving refer-a-friend codes: /r/ffxivraf
@proud willow Thank you!
also totally fine to give one if someone happens to ask
I see, appreciate the help ^^
for shb relic quests, can i do DRN on a different class than the one im doing the quest for
yes
Yes
Yes and same applies to all steps
you just need the quest active
same goes for any step of the shb relic

I just did Fist of the father raid unsynced so I can get Compact Axles, but didn't get any, does it have to be synced?
Yep
the assistant says my squardron isn't ready for flagged mission crystal, even all my members are above lvl40, what should I do? just keep leveling up?
Stat check, get all 3 fulfilled
Eh, would you say then that it's better to do engages and fates in zandor?
I CAN'T, always only 2
help
Ixal gloves
I googled and it said you can only get 2 fulfilled
ooooh I see ok
Then you gotta lvl up and/or try a different team comp
ixali is pretty much the only one with it
just ixal yeah
The other crafting tribes just let you use your gear
just for when you're crafting for the ixal
until you're done with ixal stuff
after you're done it's probably safe to toss and you can get it back anyway
it's also ~110g if you want another
I just left it on a gear set until I got finished with them
i'd do that but there isnt enough gear for 2 sets of DoH
They share gear
I mean ye
but having to constantly switch the glove out
if I wanna do something else
max rank in grand company, got my squad to lvl 17, but dont have ability to do command missions? anything im missing?
Do they add a new event every expansion that ties into another game? Like will EW get something inspired rom another game?
Not with raids
Not to the scale of nier, no. the alliance raid series of Endwalker, Myths of the Realm, will be unique to ff14.
we may get a crossover one off trial at some point like the rathalos trial in SB but that's it
Do we know for a fact there wont be more crossover raids? I cant recall if the Nier raid was known about before 5.1 dropped
no we don't know for a fact there won't be more
we simply know that 6.0's 8man and 24man are not going to be ones
Yeah, thats what I figured
given the negative reception of nier, we probably won't get a pure crossover raid for a long time
if you can buy an item on the Marketboard is it always giftabale/tradable?
They may reveal something next E3 or at TGS but otherwise, don't assume something will happen unless otherwise said
Until it is bound yes
guys how do i go to abalathiaas spine? drk quest
the road there from the map is locked, for some reason
do msq
oh i see
I uh. Apparently have a unique problem because I looked online and couldn't find anything helpful.
How the heck do you use hotbars while moving simultaneously? This is my first MMO, and I'm trying to move from controller to kbm for better targeting and stuff. I have no idea.
Buttons with key binds
hit w with one finger, then abilities with other fingers
How?? Fingers don't work like that? What about asd and qe?
They do
Its really just getting used to it
you can hold down w to move forward, then use another finger to hit something else near it
Youre never always holding down all wasd keys at once
e, 3, 4, f are easily reachable if you hold w with your ring finger
Its about swapping between using wasd to move where you need to and using the free fingers to hit the numbers. Using a mouse with lots of buttons helps too
Camera is moved with the mouse lawl
right-hand keybinds are a trap
I don't have side mouse buttons unfortunately.
Eh, thats why I put abilities I will rarely need to use on the right end of a hotbar
1-6, shift 1-6, ctrl 1-6, plus q, e, r, f
1234qerfzxcv
should be enough keys for everything
That's what I do with dpad buttons. Stuff I rarely use or can use stationary.
So theres less of a chance that I need to hit 9 while my mouse is busy moviung the camera or area targetting or something
Please bear in mind this is my first time using a keyboard with hotbar stuff MMO style.
there's def a learning/practice curve
So this is all abstract to me.
you'll want to get in the habit of never moving your mouse hand from your mouse
Well yea. Right hand on keyboard is forbidden unless typing. That's kinda how I've always seen it.
Its not something unique to MMOs keep in mind. For me its something transferable to FPS games too, Doom eternal has a ton of other abilities you need to deal with and you have to be moving constantly
I don't play fps games.
don't be afraid to rebind hotbars to something that works for you. the default binds are not set in stone
My point was that its just something that comes with experience ha
The most fps game I've played was Fallout 3 on PC. And my bf at the time said I had a confusing and unplayable keybind but it worked for me. I basically just utilized all the buttons around wasd.
you'll wanna do the same in ffxiv
I feel like I'd get mixed up.
it's all about muscle memory. you eventually stop thinking 'fireball, need to hit 3', you just think fireball and your hand moves without conscious thought
I guess that's how it works for most games with a controller. People ask "what button do I press to do this?" And I with my 60+ hours of gameplay go "I dunno."
Then I fuck up when I think about it.
yep
would appreciate some help. im currently doing the "trials of the brave" tasks for my atma weapon. one of my tasks is to go to a certain area and do a specific grand company levequest. ive checked the NPC for it, but the levequest i need isnt in the list. am i doing something wrong?
You need to do some to cycle them out
Well I'll try messing around with my hotbar and bindings while grinding msq out.
ohh i see. are they specific to each grand company? or can any grand company have any of the possible levequests
Grand Company leves are from a different person. Usually a GC officer nearby. But, yeah, if it’s not listed, you’ll need to do leves until it cycles in the rotation.
Does anyone know how to reliably find a group to play coils of bahamut. I really wanna complete it before endwalker comes out. Only in heavensward right now so I don't know if I should wait to level up because I heard you can unsync it.
Gotta just play until it sets haha. Im going through that with fighting games atm. In my head I know that anti-air is forward punch, but every time someone jumps I have to think "Okay, I need to anti air, that means forward punch, which is forward square" and by the time I get it out its usually too late
@shell wigeon You can unsync it now if you wanted, though youll still need another person or two fro some parts. Its an ARR series so being in HW means youre already probably good to try it
Coils are 100% soloable at 80, before then you will likely need help
Guys, so if I enter a new area as my gladiator which is level 40 I’d receive about 20k exp, but if I enter as a level 1 lancer I receive 30 exp, why is this ?
Ok then. is it worth creating a party finder for it to try to get some extra people or would you say save time and just get level 80 and solo them?
The lvl 1 character gets a boost cus its not ur highest
Because you can't cheese leveling like that, XP earned is relative to your current job level
My level 1 is only getting 30 exp
Oh missed the k
Ah thank you
@shell wigeon Get a group for sure, theres story payoff if you do them all before finishing post-HW content
Rewards such as map completion and challenge log rewards will scale to your current level.
Are roulettes still worth doing after 71 or should I only spam zadnor?
I see, thank you
@hardy mauve yeah I think theres stuff with alisae that changes I heard
Hey, just got into chocobo racing. How do you breed them, and how do you get different colors? Do I need to buy fruits and feed them, just like with the regular chocobo dying?
any1 bored enough to help me lvl my bluemage from 60 to 70?
@shell wigeon That and its just worth doing, theres a whole-ass rendered cinematic locked behind coils that you get to see
yo what?. Right then I'm gonna try to find some people to do it then definitely. just need to find someone now
Anyone know the location of the weekly hunt quest for the Gatling I’ve search for about 30mintues and can’t find it 😦
I am seeing that its best to start with weaver, culinarian, and leather/goldsmith for their cross class abilities. Is this still accurate or is that outdated info?
b ranks spawn randomly in the zone, there is not one specific spawn point
Outdated
you just gotta keep looking
Aww got it thanks !
All crafters have the exact same skill set
So there is no longer any benefit to levelling certain ones up at the same time? Is it better to do them one at a time now then?
The benefit is that you’ll need stuff from them for later recipes
Weaver and leatherworker are still good start points as they make gear for the other crafters
Which is why it’s suggested to just get all the crafters and lvl in intervals of 5
And, yeah, there’s a lot of intermediate materials that are made by certain other crafters. Like say a bow might need certain cloth. Or a glove might need metal rivets. They all sort of feed into each other.
Plus crafters share gear (except main and off hand tools) so if you keep them close you can just have one equipment set for all your crafters and save on armory chest space
Where can i buy lvl 1 lancer gear and accessories?
starter cities should have classless lv1 gear vendors
Ughhh I didnt even think of the gear sets. Do crafters use jewelery sets too? Thats my biggest source of inventory bloat rn
Ah ok ill try Ul'Dah
Yes
They share yes
Yeah but again it’s shared
Also how should I power lvl lancer?
!faq altlvlguide
Okay, so realistically, how many different sets of crafting gear will I need if I am levelling them all at once?
One
1
Oh okay, awesome
They share gear
Cause they share gear
1 for every 5 lvls
Except tools
Right, I guess I just assumed it was like 3 share one set, and another 3 share another, like the DoW/DoM gear haha. My b
because crafters all use the same main stat
they do however have seperate artifact gear
It’s only melee dps that “don’t share gear as well”
When do i Get Armoury Bonus?
I dont have a lvl 80 character tho
If it’s lower than the highest
Idk how it works lol
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
i need to reset lvl53 blm retainer to change it to rdm?
Ahhh okok, i get it now ty
Is there a site where I can input an alternate currency and it tells me what the best thing I can buy to list on marketboard?
hey, is alt job relic weapon as grindy as first one or is it easier?
which one
Depends on the relic
ShB skips steps
dragoon
there's 4 relics for dragoon
easier
You skip 2 steps
because there's 2 one time steps
The haunting/vexing and the 180 item step
the one with 180 items right?
Are skipped
XD thank god
i reseted blm retainer but there is no option for rdm now https://i.imgur.com/6XxmvDM.png
Level any class to 50
you need to get them up to level 50 first
nice i lost all lvls
Then you can swap it
i have lvl53 blm
It needs a CLASS
them
yes retaomer was lvl53
and then you reset them so now theyre level 1
To get to red mage
gotta get them back up to 50
Did you upgrade it to black mage
but now they're level 1
You pick whether it does
no i just reseted it
so that point is moot
BLM which isn’t a class
ah
Retainers can't swap jobs..they can only go from a class to a job
Getting to 50 on a CLASS will allow it to swap to red mage
I was doing some collectible turn-in's for zhloe and some artifacts weren't a high enough collectabillity number needed to turn in to her, can I just discard those?
Samr goes for any expansion jobs
yes
well i had a lvl53 now its lvl1 thaumaturge
Sorry I know you're helping with retainer stuff
gotta level it again 
Thank you!
let me guess: you're trying to use shift, control, or alt as a key by itself, or you're trying to use not one of those three as a modifier key
can i reskill my chocobo?
It says I need to bind confirm cancel escape and main menu. I have confirm and cancel bound but I can't find escape and main menu

yes, reigan pepper from your GC
when can retainer do quick exploration again
all of them
now i cant do it anymore with lvl1
but it needs to be lv10
I looked through all the tabs and there's no escape and main menu keybind options
Are roulettes still worth doing after 71 or should I only spam zadnor?
Unless I'm just blind
of course
ah
I'm an idiot. I found main menu but I can't find escape
it just means these 4
yes
OHHHKAY. That should have been worded better in game.
Can someone tell me what the required level for mastery VI tomes is?
It's gonna be the level cap for whatever expansion it was introduced in
looks like stormblood, so, 70?
yup
Nope
Hello, i'm stuck at weaver quest because the guildmaster asking for velveteen clothes which the materials aren't sold at the weaver shop
ah i see. pain then. i hated the inbetween of heavensward and stormblood
Gather the materials yourself
You're on your own post 15
Is that mean I have to join another guild?
Welcome to the reason we say: do all crafters and gathering at once
Or buy from the marketboard
Or buy off market board and waste like 10mil to hit 80
And defeat the point of doing crafting
As a max MIN/BTN I'm glad I can gather whatever I need myself
Ah ok so we really kinda have to juggle jobs with another guild then
We say do 5-10 levels each
Oh then do you guys know where to get deremite web?
Crafters share gear with each other outside of tools
Is it in gridania?
Diremite mobs
What’s the keyboard shortcut to open the chocobo companion window?
I dont think there is one by default
whats the best thing to buy for profit with poetics?
!faq poetics
ah
as is tradition, reddit is struggling
Just like us 
while its down, is demicrystal good to buy?
No, got hard nerfed
how many weeks is the post nier weekly questline?
oh i only have one more week then
How do you access chocobo companion on kbm, then? I'm trying to help my sister, but I use a controller, so I don't know how kbm does it.
character > companion
Thanks
What's the best thing to spend yellow gathering scrips on when I have almost all of the folklore tomes and a full set of Landking gear?
Breach Coins aren’t once per week right?
Nice just making sure thanks
i dont understand
i dont see that in the exchange
It's in idyllshire to get the soils at bertana
does eorzea collection show ALL the sets you could get?
Iirc
aah
so is sch really eh or just meme
cuz im looking at the one for drg and its only 3 pages which seems very little
scholar is good
Scholar is very strong
it's just not flashy
is there a way in the chat to instead of say "cwl" -> "the name of the cwl " ?
We don't know yet. We only have the job trailer to go by.
Scholar is the king of off global healing
That's the only complaint people have
Because in people's eyes "not flash = really shit"
SCH is effective, but quite boring imo
And will probably remain that way
currently I mean
Currently SCH is just fine.
They arent seperating SCH and SMN xp gains in EW are they?
really nasty amount
you got your usual 2.5s cast time damage
and then you ahve a slightly weaker isntant cast to double weave
cant find em
no soil there
No. They don't have a really good way to do that.
Uncanny knicknacks
uncanny knicknakcs
oh
can you get bitter memories of the dying with other jobs?
Yes
yes
i was asking about what to buy with poetics
Yes. As long as the quest is active.
And you buy the unidentified items in mor Dhona with poetics
Buy the ore with poetics
Trade the ore for soil
Then take them to Idyllshire
ooooh ok
For the soil
if i upgrade to the heavensward collectors edition the griffon is account wide right?
You can buy the unidentifiable items in Idyllshire too
Yes
question, if i want to transfer my ps4 account to pc what do i have to do?
On market board yes
cool
You won't be able to do stormblood/shadowbringers stuff if you don't get the dlc
is there a way in the chat to instead of say "cwl" -> "the name of the cwl " ?
Or log in if you log out in a shadowbringers/stormblood zone
well isnt that something. thanks for the help

Does Khloe's Gold Certificate expire? Or can I hold onto it until next expansion and see if there's newer stuff?
its not feast
For anyone that plays on PS4/5, is there a way to move my oath bar along with my quest display
its the halone set for drg, can buy it with wolf marks in the wolves' den @misty blaze
How many hours will it take to play through main story all the way to endwalker?
Hud layout same as almost every other hud element in the game
Thank you! :CA_CuteSmile:
I'm new to ff14 and mmos. Should I just concentrate on my main role as well as the main story for now or start leveling up all my crafting and alchemy roles or leave them for a later date?
Ah ok, looks pretty messy
You can do crafting and gathering whenever you want
You do unlock a good method for levelling them later
||Graha Tia did not have Voice Acting in ARR / Crystal Tower Story Line right?||
Ah okay thank you. Just wasn't sure if there important for early game
No
Cool
I think half of it was because ARR budget was super tight?
Fanks good sir 😊
And it was a side thing
Yeah
Side things are rarely voiced
@rugged fjord For reference, I have been playing since 2017 and am only starting DoL/DoH stuff literally today, so dont feel like you need to do them 🙂
Does anyone know where to get the Exarchic Recipes?
Should scholars ever use energy drain when they have aetherflow and lucid dreaming
But wouldn’t the aetherite slot be best saved for lustrate or sacred soil?
If you got aetherflow coming off cooldown
You want to use Aetherflow on Cooldown
it's better to slam an energy drain
Energy drain is your tool to dump excess stacks
The more you keep aetherflow unused, the less stacks you have over the course of the fight
I replied to the email "yes" and they still haven't sent another email 
Ok
You could save it for that
But consider this
Aetherflow is coming off cooldown in 5 seconds
There's no raidwide or tankbusters for the next 15
It's better to throw that stack into energy drain, get some mana back and do some extra damage
than do drift Aetherflow by a potential 10+ seconds
Keeping Aetherflow on Cooldown is the most important thing
If you know there's no healing needed soon
Or you can deal with it in other ways (fairy regen, fey blessing, seraph)
Then you can throw it into energy drain
And you want all 3 stacks every minute used on something
And energy drains under raid buffs are good
Can always yeet the fairy for more stacks if needed
People said that hunt trains gave good rewards, but all I got were centurio seals and tombstones. Are the good rewards locked behind something?
Tomes are always good and hunt currency can buy good stuff
Nuts have materia, a mount, upgrade currency and stuff
Allied seals have teleport tickets for free Tps and used for blue mage stuff
yeah at lower level, you can spend on lustrate
don't spend on sacred soil unless you got the lv 76 traits to improve it
I popped Holmgang and still died, even though the cooldown started
can somebody help me understand eureka this is so confusing for me
during leveling just spam art of war, refresh dot and ruin
when the tank heals starting to reach critical point, then you can start ruin2 + lustrating
and once you get the excog, you'll do this less often
If you popped it basically just as the cast ended then it probably snapshotted you without it on
How the fuck do I get to the lvl52 DRG quest in Highlands??
I'm in drav area. Still not unlocked?
Did you not attune to Falcon's Nest?
This game really doesnt leave you a second of reaction time
to be fair
Yeah I've done been attuned
and fight in the blaze of glory of the animations
Idk how to get uptop there to the left

How do I lock my ff text box on shout, yell or w/e instead of continuously changing the chat box
can you post a screenshot of the map?
But the tank cd is like a last second thing in dungeons when you notice the healer isnt healing shit
So you die
well
That's why you use Cooldowns pro actively not reactivate

What should I get with silver chocobo feathers, also where can I farm them ?
I was given ten when I started

In terms of what to spend them on, anything but the level 20 gear, really
Oh ok, I’ll hang onto them for now and pick out something at level 70
If i am on the free trial and I buy the shadowbringers expansion do i get all the content or do i need the complete edition
You need starter edition ontop of Shadowbringers

how much skill speed do i need for 2.35 gcd?
is there a way to show 3 different crossbars on screen?
!xivmath reversespeed 2.35
Only 2 whole crossbars at once
but i have 2.33 gcd with 805 sks
im playing war if that changes anything
Tiers change as you level
can I somehow leave novice network without losing my sprout?
oh, how much do i need at 60
731, according to Akh Morning
/nnetworkleave should work
Question with two parts.
- is anima weapon progression in each expansion linear, Like say to get to cronux lux you need to start with nothung?
- are the relic quests seperated in each dlc?
and i will keep my sprout icon?
Yes
And yes
Yes
ah I see. so if I like nothung I can stop there in the questline.
and I dont need progression in HW relics to be able to get other relics in stormblood onwards
I'm at lvl 60 with my BLU, where can I find a good loadout of what skills to use/unlock before starting the process of getting to 70?

how does a crossbar map to the respective hotbar?

you sure? Because i never use hotbars and theyre full of my crossbar skills
is there a particular best way to grind poetics after all the dailies have been done? Any specific activity?
or maybe thats because they get added automatically when you get a skill?
Automatic from getting a skill
I'm new to FF and was looking at the new reaper class coming out and was wondering If I level lancer and go as dragoon am I able to switch to reaper whenever it releases?
@obsidian patiothanks the nnetworkleave worked and my sprout is still there 🙂
!faq poetics
not how classes work
you can be any job
Any class can unlock reaper
There will likely be a "reach x level" on any class requirement
ah ok so I can just switch to any job?
yes
alright thanks 👍
There is also an "armory bonus" so if you are playing a job that isn't your highest level, you get an xp boost
so reach max level with one class, easier to level another
Don’t need to hit max level first, but yes
so would you recommend me not creating more characters or stick with just the one?
You really only need one character for the most part
ok
Basically nothing is shared across characters besides account wide mogstation purchases and veteran rewards
ok, that is useful that I can switch between jobs and not need to create a new character for it
Yup, you can do every single job on the same character. Get to level 80 on all combat jobs, all crafters, all gatherers, swap between them freely
swapping them is as easy as pressing a button in fact, no need to quest or anything everytime you want to switch
Im reading a guide about leveling alts and it says to not run dungeons that ends with 0. For example, why is running lvl 59 dungeon better than lvl 60? do they give more exp?
Yes
Why is it designed that way..
x0 dungeons don't give a lot of xp since you know, level cap at the time
Okay, thx
I imagine that advice really only holds for dungeons past 49 though, right?
Pretty much
did ff14 overworld ever had pvp outside of wolf?
No
thanks
What is a better chemistry for squads? Extra crystal clusters or extra gil?
I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know if I buy the complete edition on ps4, can I play it through steam as well?
I think not
No, @green timber
Whichever has an easier trigger IMO, like having a specific race in the active group
I mean, yes, but it will be a separate license, youll have to buy it both places
You need to buy it separately for each platform you want to play it on
Ah, okay. Thanks.
For example, I take most non-stat chemistries that activate when you have a lalafell, and my entire squadron is Lalafells
Both are guaranteed (active member)
O nice, from what I remember, Gil reward is usually around 6-10k, can’t remember how much the cluster reward gives
the clusters I got are 20-30 if i remember correctly
I don't know, I'm not really there yet
I barely got 60 and don't have any expansions until EW comes out
And between clusters and seals? Assuming same trigger
I see thanks
Uhhh, I go for seals since I use them for a lot of stuff, like dark matter for repairing my gear or glamour prisms to use/sell
Is there a way to make the launcher smaller, so that it doesn't take up so much of my screen?
you can use this launcher instead
How often does tales of adventure go on sale?
Quick question: So currently I'm playing in free trial on the SE launcher and was thinking in buying the game soon-ish. I read somewhere that I can continue with mi progress in both SE launcher and steam but when I buy one or the other it gets lock forever in that platform. Is there any downside/venefit with being in one platform or the other?
Steam wallet is the main difference, really
If you make use of that you can use it to pay for subscription or other stuff on the mogstation
Ok cool thanks
what enfeeblement can i get easily to tweak my hud?
Go to the Morbols in central shroud near haukke manor
cheers
i never played triple triad before, but since the event is limited: do you want a single copy of a card, or multiple?
Single
Yes
I bought the collector's edition not long ago 😦 Is there a way to get the discount/money back? 😦
No
did SE announce anything regarding possible eureka farm getting buffs? (was it buffed already since its original release?)
if i were to get into farming eureka now, does anyone know of a comprehensive guide i could follow?
It's already been buffed
Double crystal rates everywhere except hydatos, 150% echo and buyable final fate items from the birdwatcher

Except for hydatos iirc
would be nice if they did it for hydatos too
i assume they havent said anything about further buffs in EW then
No
Cause they basically already buffed it the best they can
Except of just outright giving 999% stat buff
from what i understand it's the leveling process that breaks people
Are there specific mobs in Diadem I should prioritize?
Differnet mobs drop different mats
Plant mobs drop plant mats, rock mobs drop ores, and so on.
Depends on what craftercyou wantcto use.
Lets say Im just levelling miner at the moment and have all crafters unlocked and at the same (low) level haha
I guess it doesnt matter at that point?
@slate arrow Thank you!
Are there really no gathering options between level 10 and level 50 mats in diadem? Seems like a weirdly large gap
There are collectible tiers at 20, 40, 60, 70, and 80
So there should be materials for each tier, you just might not be able to farm them as a lower level gatherer
Well, Im about to ding 30 on miner and the only mat available to me at each node is a level 10 one :/
depends on the location
every node in the game has an individual level
most maps have a large variety of levels, but generally the more end-game areas have higher level nodes
Im talking about Diadem nodes, not the general overworld ones
oh
There is a gap in the diadem mats
diadem right
Cause otherwise there wouldnt really be enough node space
I think the level 20 and 40 crafts use the same skybuilder stuff
Is diadem really the best way to level gatherer then? It seems it might be better to find nodes in the overworld that are at your level instead of grinding level 10 mats until you hit 50
It’s not.
It’s just a very gear-lazy way
Where you don’t need to upgrade gear often
Diadem is really only best if you have access to engineering manuals and no leve allowances
Bah
Gathering leves are excellent for xp but a lot of folks burn their allowances on things like Crystarium deliveries for gil
For ARR hunt marks, I've been trying to do a min damage, max credit opener
Shield Lob -> Provoke -> mash whatever oGCDs
I've been told Provoke does nothing in this context but is that true? I always thought the enmity generated when the mark is pulled would help with getting credit
What's a good lost action loadout for a SMN for CLL/DR?
as far as I am aware, hunts are completely immune to provoke
Chainspell + font of magic and essence
It doesn't matter a huge amount really, essences are the most important
Feel like chainspell wouldn't be that great on SMN since we already have a fair number of instant/fast casts
Honored Sac?
weapon design contest submission page is telling me i dont meet the requirements to participate. do you need to be subbed to submit a design?
Depending how spicy you wanna be
And if you have a healer who will throw a heal
I used Pure + Font + sac during DRs stuff
Cause I wasn't on C4 duty
ait thanks
I just restored to taking whatever really, chainspell and something else as essences give you the same damage buff but permanent.
i was looking at byakko's enspirited lance on the MB, it's selling for around 2M gil, then i googled the ingredients to craft it and they total around 400K gil in cost, most of it being the one byakko's mane, how is the insane selling price justified at more than triple the ingredients cost?
no like, am i missing something?
People lazy to farm the mat
is there some difficulty in crafting it
And the mat is somewhat rare
you can buy the rare mat for 350K
Goes for any primal mat
buying the raw material itself sure, but you will need the crafter leveled up and the recipe mastery learned
Opposed to make it themselves
as well as gear that is good enough not to fail the craft
do all of these additional requirements justify the cost of the weapon then?
it's not worth that much sure, you can technically get away for just 1.5x the base price
no, not really
i have no idea since i havent touched crafting at all
but it's more in the realm of supply and demand
And peoples laziness
and general asking price
if someone sets the bar really high, no one in their right mind will tank it
they will try and keep it high
to get as much gil as possible
people insist on saying crafting isnt worth it for profit but seeing stuff like this it doesnt add up lmao
Who the fuck says that lol
I mean, you're half right
heard it a lot in game
Sounds like some brain damage speak
People wouldn't be crafters if there was no profit in crafting
crafting generaly ends up costing you more than making you
but that's assuming you only craft
Unless you're smart
most people craft and gather
and do everything themselves
including farming the material themselves (like boss drops)
that's how you make the most gil
the less people you pay, the more you make
seems like a waste of time if you can buy it to skip the grind and mass produce weapons like this
regarding farming all mats by yourself
and thats why they set the price much higher
that's just wrong
gatherers exist for a reason.
I know crafters that gilcap via crafting lmao as in 999,999,999 gil
yeah suddenly that seems very achievable
given some time
crafting makes you money if you are smart and level gathering as much as obtain your own material
i was under the impression that crafting was just a huge undertaking and barely worth it
legit it's how most people make it out to be
never mentioning actual insane profit like this
crafting is the most reliable way to make gil
might not make tons of gil at once, but you get a steady flow
what else can net you 1.5M gil per sale
rare mounts and minions
getting super lucky on quick explorations gives you 300K gil or so
I was selling the stuff that dropped from eureka bunnies for years
and made tons of gil
easily over 100 million
some days you get lucky and get tons of drops to sell
some days you spend 8 hours and get nothing
And eventually people catch on to what you sell and it starts going down ;-;
I see people with macros and markers automatically set up for fights
Where's a good resource for getting these?
Even saw diagrams in chat to show positioining for fights
If I'm on the trial - is there only one custom delivery client? (Zhloe Aliapoh)
The timers says I have 12 allowances but she only accepts 6
i mean once you get like 50M gil you're basically set
there are multiple, you need to unlock additional ones
Making my own would make sense for new content but surely someone's already made a far better one for fights like Titania EX by now, no? There's no place where a community uploads these or anything?
@lone totem Who/where is the other client on Heavensward?
Zhloe is the only one trial players can unlock
i struggle to find ways to spend gil right now
Okay thank you thats what I figured @obsidian patio
you're talking about the macros people put in party chat that was generated specifically for pugs right
to be honest I am not sure of the best place to get those, though I do know that most of them are generally made with information gleamed from various servers, websites, groups etc
like the balance
yeah like this was awesome for immediately assigning positions
As a new person that boggles my mind.
it's actually extremely easy to understand
once you understand what it is trying to say
ye
though, the thunder tether priority from that fight is no longer a thing
MT and OT maintank and offtank
M1 and M2 are melee1 and melee2
Once you know that, the rest falls into place, right?
unless you do minimum item level
Yeah I noticed, people just invuln
What does R mean?
ranged
Oh alright.
so magical/physical ranged
well, people invuln'd even back then, but that would just remove 2-3 instances
you would still need to assign priority afterwards
there are 6 instances, you cutting out almost half or half is great
but today, you can invuln 2-3 of them, and then just pop kitchen sink cds and you will still live
I'm gonna be doing the rest of the ShB EXs and see some PFs asking for macros and it would be nice to be able to help out but looks like I'll just have to leech macros for now too
there are tons of resources on the internet for the fights so if you can't find a macro, you could always write one yourself based on the resource
Hi, anyone know if ninja is still bad with high ping ? I read something about after he was reworked is definetly more playable with high ping
Does anyone know what time (EST) Coeurl opens back up? looks like I missed the window to join while waiting for the game to download
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
does grade 3 shroud topsoil increase the amount of seeds you can get from a harvest as well?
I have a mate who plays it with 200ping, he often does highest DPS in dungeons/raids/trials. So he def performs well, though he does use Mudfish which is a gaming VPN so it helps a bit with ping.
how long does it take for a fantasia potion to show up at a delivery moogle after you bought one?
Oh thats good to hear, my ping is around 170-200, so I def need a vpn
thanks
I also use Mudfish for FF14, topped up $5 in my account around literally 28 days ago. I still have $4.35 in my balance and I play FF14 daily 🙂
Being Aussie and on the JP servers, it was just nice to have and once I tried it from my friend telling me, I noticed a difference
iirc yes they should. I think they even had to change it at some point for it to do so.
Is there an easy way to click on something with 500 people are standing on it?
If you're using mouse keyboard, press num pad zero to target and interact with an object or NPC
it may also help to turn off other people's display names through character configuration > display name settings
Personally, I use a macro to turn display names on/off so I can easily turn them off when screen gets too packed, and then back on when things are calmer
It's just stuff like the ladder and chests in CLL that's super annoying
I'm always the last one to interact loll
does challenge log still give decent xp for lvl 65-80?
ah ye if it's just for quick interactions like that, then Kinger's suggestion to just hit interact button near the ladder will auto-target it for you
yes, it scales to your level
so it's always good experience
thanks
It's the Confirm/Num0
ty
Hey guys what is the fastest method to farm Fond memory, Spare parts and Tell me a story?
is this the 180 items zadnor step?
Yes, 30 each.
Join a party for fates in zadnor to get the "front 30"
and then use raids for the rear 30
you can also just hang out in zadnor for the CEs if you don't like normal raids
Fates in Zad for the first 90 pieces. Then O3, A4, and E3 for the other 90.
(zadnor fates pop pretty frequently but the CEs don't pop as frequently even tho they give 2 per clear)
Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply!
I got most of mine in zadnor anyway because I was farming mettle and also helping people with mettle so it was a lot of CEs
do we get many more abilities from 50 to 80? My hotbars are all disorganized cause I can only work on them once I have an idea of how many abilities I'll hve
Depends on your job, different jobs have a different amount of abilities.
hello im thinking of getting into ff14 but am currently wondering about the nort american servers stability and accessibility if i´m playing from South America (Chile)
Based on my friend's experience in playing from brazil, expect not great latency and lag.
game's got a MASSIVE free trial for you to test for yourself to be sure
one of the members of my raid group is in south america, they do get lag spikes from time to time and disconnects (on Aether)
I can't confirm the lag spikes specifically, but I have three people in my current static in Argentina, and the ping does make the game interesting, but not unplayable.
I'm trying to register my ff14 product to my square enix account but it won't let me select it on the playstation web browser
like sometimes they might get clipped by things that happen quickly, such as the firing squad in Emerald Weapon Extreme, but we still get clears pretty reliably
or our WHM will say "bubble down" and then a few seconds later it'll show up
oh okey thanks for the answers i will be testing the free trial to experience it by myself
Does gear still drop if u go into a dungeon unsynced?
yes, but it will be random gear and not guaranteed to be gear your job can wear
But random gear from the dunegon
yes
Any benefits in running stuff on min ilv and the like?
for fun
Fun™️
that is to say, no
and blue mage spells
For bragging rights
It won't let me click it
Blue Mage gets some special achievements if you do some raids min ilvl and synched but that's about it.
higher chance to learn blu spells while synced, as well
@safe forge Have you uses the touchpad to move the cursor?
I don't know what to tell you man
@safe forge I'm a ps4 player and never had this problem
Then again I never played on PC
Buying the game is a struggle in and of itself though
Why would they make it so hard to do this
Do you have a regular USB mouse? Just plug it in to your PS4
Said they tried it.
Ah, okay. Missed that part
I think this is the only way I can be able to register it

question, if I completed the MCH quest but lost the weapon, where can I pick it up again?
Calamity salvager might have it
the weapon not the quest
What's the Best datacenter for AU player like myself?
thanks
If no luck there, then you might just have to grab one from a vendor or market board
yeah seems so
elemental for now
OCE datacenter opening up after endwalker
Has anyone had this problem before?
can I make a relic into a glamour?
You can get a free transfer over once it gets made
kinda the point if its not shadowbringers relic
yes, but you can't put it in the glam dresser unless its a replica
Oh okay. Ill just cast glamour every time I get a new weapon no biggie.
Are prisms expensive never bought them b4?
pretty cheap
200 seals
can get like 99 for 20k
I might swing down to the #technology-discussion section, don't think anyone is going to be able to help you here, especially with very little contextual info besides
Relic replicas are essentially free (or very close to it) once you unlock them (depends on which relic you are going for)
But generally it's not a big deal to get them and put them in the dresser
Alright
Does shadowbringers come with stormblood?
Yeah, other way around
Cool
The store lists it as shadowbringers as stormblood included.
It's literally called shadowbringers collectors edition.
Well stormblood isn't on the store.
Collector’s edition is what comes with the bonus stuff
okay I got another question
correct, you can't buy just stormblood
I'm standing right in the middle of the vista but I don't get the message that says I'm at the vista
Old expansions get yeeted from stores because the newest one is just better
I thought it comes with shadowbringers
correct
ARR vistas are only available during certain time frames
Or certain weather patterns
Or both
yeah no
even when it's not the right time it should say I arrived at the vista
ShB comes with stormblood
how come aura horns are allowed to clip through headgear but not bunnies 
This comes with stormblood right?
Yes, We are telling you that
see how there's no vista message before the screenshots
That's literally what I just said and you said it was wrong
Stormblood doesn’t come with shadowbringers.
Shadowbringers comes with stormblood
Guys I have a question if I pre-ordered the collector's edition of end walker and the used the code but the after I changed my mind how does it work?
You mentioned the collector’s edition
I'm confused now. Because I was asking if shadowbringers has stormblood included. I already assumed the collectors edition did. Its just stormblood isn't on the store at all
Just no need to pay for the Collector stuff if you don’t need it
Basically there is ShB normal edition and collector edition,
Both includes StB
it does
the latest expansion includes all previous expansions
Right now complete edition costs the same as shadowbringers collectors edition
(except heavensward, which is with a realm reborn)
I already have Heavensward from the trial.
Yeah ShB collectors edition is just ShB plus DLC, does not included base game
