No reason to jam Endwalker into a sales so soon after releass
aaaaaaaa what should i do xD buy the complete edition now or wait for 6 month xD
Buy now?
hmm
Will the price of EW drop on release or nah?
debating whether if i should preorder it now just for the earrings
I see
guess... ill buy the full game now then xD
You don’t gotta register immediately btw
lvl 80 scrip crafter gear can be bought with yellow scrip right ?
Is it possible to buy EW on mogstation?
I’ve been sitting on my game code since July
or i gotta buy it on the official store, then register it via code?
think store
u also still free trial ?
FF14 really does have problems getting players to buy their game...
Yep
hmmm
oh absolutely
is it wierd i keep getting redirected to the EU store?
if they gonna put sales on complete edition after a few month release like 3 or 2 month ill wait for it but
if it 6 month its long
Technically i'm in Asia
I'm playing on Aether cuz my friends are here
Otherwise i'd have gone to Tonberry
have you used EU as part of you r informationfor purchasing the game / account credentials?
I honestly don't remember
I'm in eu but not germany and I get redirected to the German site every time for some reason
And can't read shit
So... does it matter though?
Don't think so
If i buy from the store, i'll get a code to register on Mogstation yeah?
Think so
Regardless of which store as long as it's not steam?
I've never bought from the store but I'm pretty sure you should get a code
You do
It probably doesn't matter which store since the game isn't region locked anyway
Seriously... tons of MMOs struggle to get people to want to play their game, advertising freakin everywhere to the point of annoyance...
But FF14 has people wanting to play their game, but struggle to find out how to buy it...
uh?
But if it's some other eu that's fine
Wait... now i'm nervous
What
so does American SE site matter or nah?
As long as you're logged in it's gonna go on your account
i can't remember which account i'm using though
mogstation
Mogstation
for some reason i have accounts on both stores
Okay, logged into Mogstation
how do i check from here?
If it puts you into the eu store when you're logged it then your account is probably eu
Gah, even if i log out it still places me to EU store...
fk it, i'll buy from EU store and hope for the best
im on asia too but it lead me to NA
@last mural you can check your registered region on the main square enix website
Should do that first
Check what region your Mogstation account is
yeah its NA
My Mogstation account can log into both stores...
But either way i finally found out
I found the NA store from googling and accessing it from there
and checked my purchase history
I bought the Complete edition on the US store
so i gotta buy EW on US store?
correct
Christ... why does SEnix make their players jump through hoops to play their game...
Decade old mmo please understand
I don't blame them b/c FFXIV 2.0 was made on a rushed timescale
that being said, pleEaSE SE Im BeGGiNg You
Yeah their website sucks
It has a big issue where some email providers just don't receive emails from them
Took 3 days to even set up my account in the first place since you get a 24 hour timer before you can request another email
is there a way to use my eternity ring (spouse teleport) via text command or some kinda macro?
or a text command to use x hotbar
!item eternity ring
If it works like an usable item (potion, or teleport ticket to go to GC HQ)
Then you can just drag and drop it to your hotbar
Is there a reccomended order to buy poetics gear?
weapon > anything you have that has lowest ilvl
Ah
or weapon > armor/legs > lowest ilvl
How far ahead in time can I press a button for it to queue?
And how much time do you need to wait after a weaponskill or a instant spell before an ability can be pressed?
Are these two numbers known to us, or it is just "we know they worked, but we don't know the specific"
Does someone mind answering a quick question for me? I'm a bit confused regarding low level characters
Whats troubling you?
button mash it
except mudra
My friend and I made some low level characters the other night and added each other. Then last night I saw that their character was deleted, but mine wasn't.
If possible I would like to know the exact time, it is for a design exercise
When I ask my friend about it, they insist that they didn't delete their character.
Did they move their character to a different world?
Our characters were only level 7, so I doubt it.
Basically what I'm asking is; does the game sometimes auto-delete low level characters? Or is my friend not being honest?
The game don't mess with your characters
I would assume not
I can still find JP players with lvl 2 characters from 2015 sharing my character name
Even if it's RMT they get banned but char isn't deleted afaik
Does Sacred soil stack with itself or AST bubble, WHM as well?
Creates a designated area in which party members will only suffer 90% of all damage inflicted.
Duration: 15s Additional Effect: Regen
Cure Potency: 100
Additional Effect: Increases Faerie Gauge by 10
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1
It's just been getting under my skin over the past day and a half, so I figured it would be best to ask about it
!action succor
Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 180
Additional Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 125% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with astrologian's Nocturnal Field.
Wait, only party member, not other alliance right?
If stuff from different Jobs don't stacks, they are generally written on the tooltip
Generally
Beneficial AOE never works on alliance
You can target and cast a cure
unless otherwise specified, aoe effects are always for your party
But don't expect your AOE heal to heal 24 players
most targeted effects can be cast across party lines
shoot
How far ahead in time can I press a button for it to queue?
And how much time do you need to wait after a weaponskill or a instant spell before an ability can be pressed?
0.5s
about a whole second at most
Doing this for a design exercise
Oh, interesting, button queueing is that forgiving?
I was expecting around 0.3
Then i can press 3 mudras right next to each other?
as long as it's in sequence yes
do note if you mash there's a habit where the game will double press
so if you're a WOW masher it will rabbit you
My case it that it fails to fire the 3rd mudra
What about weaving?
same input window
except for macros and sprint for obvious reasons
Most oGCDs have an animation lock of 0.7s which is about the same as the queue window
So mash two oGCDs and they should ideally both go off
OK, so
0 - weaponskill
0.75 - ability A
1.5 - ability B
2.3 ish - another weaponskill
Ignoring lag
Around this?
yeah that sounds about right
do note the input buffer doesn't stop just because you're animation locked
It’s closer to 0.7 than 0.75
Yup

if you press it within the buffer, it will go off asap
Yeah, input buffer is separated from your weave timing
We don’t have perfect data and latency affects how soon a new action can be triggered after animation lock
also that yeah weaving is still animation and latency dependent
unless you use third party tools
I understand, but this is good enough for me
But from repeated observation people have determined that the true value is approximately 0.7s
Does DRG jump lock time longer if i use it at max range or the same?
Same
Same
Nevermind
So, around 0.7s for animation lock and ability weaving
Button queue buffed to around 0.75s
if it's the gap closer jumps, yes it will take longer
0.7s is just kind of a magic number in FFXIV
if it's jump/hi-jump, it should be the same due to the return to position
Dragonfire dive would behave the same as the gap closer, I assume?
Damage is calculated about 0.7s before it appears on screen (this is what causes the infamous “invuln went on CD but I still died” situation)
yep
you notice it the most on tanks if you try to weave while using rough divide at max range
Interesting
I always thought it is just snapshot
it is
It is
0.7 seconds before your client sees it
But that snapshot happens 0.7s early
Ohhhh
0.7s ability weave is also just enough for weaving under 1.5s GCD, so that's why MCH are still not so nice for people with latency?
yep
Exactly
Thanks, this is very helpful, learnt a lot today
now if only we could get yoship to play MCH on NA
From JP?
Mudras used to be ogcd and you had to cram them all in
yes, and it was seen as fine.... if you were living in JP, since weaving wasn't an issue with that low latency
Was Ninjutsu ability or weaponskill?
not tied to the GCD
Ability
ninjitsu is still an ability, but now on the GCD
So by design, Ninjutsu were fucked then before the rework
For players with high latency yes
Since the best case is a double weave
Now I can't believe that it took them until Shadowbringers to fix Ninja
Or was it Stormblood?
shadowbringers
so for the DoL custom delivery i need 600 pts for highest reward
i got 800ish, the max pts can be achieved is 1k
is it ok if i just turn in the 800ish or i have to make it 1k?
What's the fastest way from Limsa Lominsa to New Gridania? I want to switch jobs to Lancer.
@dapper oyster anything higher than 600 will do
airships, which are locked behind MSQ progression
Like you said 600 gives highest reward
If you max it, NPC will just say a different dialog, that's all
Going beyond that doesn’t give anything extra
I figured, but could I run there? 😛
ah ok thanks, good to know
Industrial, Lyon, thanks for answering my questions. That was more fruitful than I could ever imagine
(didn't know about the 0.7s snapshot)
yeah its kinda vague and goes unmentioned but its one of the few things which makes FFXIV so comfy :comfy:
Ok, so say I get to Gridania whenever the MQ allows it, when I pick up the Lancer job, will I be starting over fresh with it? Or will it scale to my level?
from level 1
Fresh
_<
Think of it as mastering a different weapon
This guide also touches on similar topics https://www.akhmorning.com/resources/raiding-fundamentals/#other-tips-
Like weapon proficiency in other games
One other question, what if I, at a higher level, want to pick up Dancer? How does that scale?
Dancer starts at 60
starts at 60 due to being a shadowbringers job
also because the job crystal gives you the relevant knowledge
Expansion Jobs start at higher levels so you don't need to grind as many experience
Need to have the shadowbringers job expac bought and be 60, but no other reqs
Ok, thanks.
which 80 dungoen is the fasest?
I dont' know how new players cope with this game lol. I'm former mythic WoW raider and I'm frankly terrified of the eventuality of all the skills I'll have to have on hotkeys
what attacks in bsf zones can you light curtain
I guess the problem is I want to start off great already which... is hard if not impossible.
Top 700 myself a few years back, so I thought getting into this MMO would be cake. nooo no no no no. Even little things like learning to gem your gear requires a pre-req quest and then either a profession or an NPC to add them into your gear.
It's time to relax, you've done your hardcore raiding. xD
so i heard monk is losing 2 positionals in endwalker, how many do they currently have?
every GCD has a positional
i thought they had 8, and were going down to 6. but i think they only have 6, and are going down to 4
this is just QoL
What is this "relax" you speak of?
What do you mean? they said twin snakes and something else are losing their positionals
yee
How much should I ask on the marketboard for 99 Savage Aim Materia 111?
so they'll only have 4 positionals?
so basically your second step/raptor form will be a free button
yeah your first and third combo skills
Monk 2nd combo won't have Positional
dragon kick, bootshine, demolish, snap punch
that's still more than literally the rest of the melee DPS
So you just need to worry about looping from 3rd back to 1st combo
how many does dragoon have
Ninja has 2+1, Samurai has 2, Dragoon has 3
Reaper has... 2 so far?
i dont quite know the combo's yet, im only 32 so far
but i saw endwlker letter and was super impressed
so the last 2 sets I put into glamor dresser aren't showing up
!action chaos thrust
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
140 when executed from a target's rear.
Combo Action: Disembowel
Combo Potency: 290
Rear Combo Potency: 330
Combo Bonus: Damage over time
Potency: 50
Duration: 24s
Combo Bonus: Grants Enhanced Wheeling Thrust if under the effect of
glamour dresser or armouire
dresser, I found it now
when it says melee here good, if youre right on the line are you hitting both rear and flanks
wait, what's a non-positional target? does that mean monsters in the overworld are immune to rear/flank skills?
or does that one only appears on stuff like friendly npcs and objects
It means that all sides of a non-positional target count as if you landed the positional correctly.
Bosses with restrictive arenas, bosses who aren't actually on the stage (and therefore can't be moved behind), etc.
potd, big boss
my first thought was kologarn, but that's from wow
can someone
do the commnand
for the editions
of the game
with endwalker?
!faq endwalker
there is no edition of the game which includes endwalker currently
if you want endwalker complete, that will be available after nov 23
do you have the infrographic
!faq buy
The primal focus quest for obtaining rowena's tokens is repeatable right?
If my friend is playing ffxiv through steam, can he upgrade to the complete edition through mogstation? Or does he need to do it through steam
has to be via steam
has to be started through steam, but it is completed via mogstation after you buy it
So he actually needs to buy the complete edition through steam?
yea
the complete edition is just Starter + shadowbringers so you're not missing anything regardless
Thanks
Quite a few bosses in Bozja/Zadnor also utilise the non-positional ring, since they can rotate a lot even if their aggro is being held correctly, and because there's typically more of a zerg around cluttering the view.
every*
Okay counter option to my question
are squad mission success chances rigid or flexible? for example, i'm missing a ton of tactical here, but if it was missing 1 tactical, would it be the same chance of failure?
If said friend restarts to use the square Enix launcher, can he use the same account
no
once youre on steam youre locked in on steam
So he will need to make a new square Enix account?
yes, if you want 100% you must be over the threshhold
he could just make a new service account but that's a bag of worms I haven't bothered with
i understand 100%, but what about the 'challenging' chance
it's like, 70% chance of success?
What's the difference of a new square Enix account and a service account
same account, but it's a 'second' account
I dont know how to do that though and I'd personally recommend just making a new SE account
Why is the game telling me I'm not within range of this enemy when I'm literally inside its hitbox?
You aren't facing the enemy
OHhhh
Auto face when using skill
Or don't
may also opt for legacy camera tatoo
Yep that was it thanks
Yeah this is an alt character and I just had some settings turned off when I was adjusting everything
I turned off auto turn because it kept making me run back into the very lethal, very unhealthy boss AoEs
i have a love-hate relationship with that option
love that you can just press it after you turned around for a gaze attack and keep attacking
but hate that it messes you up if you spam abilities while running away
But it is also good that you can use ability when sliding away
legacy feels like garbage though
it's made for gamepads
also the one advantage legacy has, fast backpedalling, is negated if you dare to press a strafe button while doing so
i just dont understand why is it that way
legacy gives you more control
legacy objectively gives you more control because your camera and movement being dinsconnect is a legitimate advatnage
though
use whatever you like more
legacy doesn't feel like any other modern third person game so it feels wrong to me
i'm the only person that uses legacy in my static and i'm somehow the only one that can turn around afast enough to see mechanics 
if legacy back+strafe moved at fast speed, i would strongly consider switching
but i'm strafing too much so it's no point
oh, it's because i rebound the default pointless rotate to strafe
it moves fast with rotate buttons, but rotate buttons also rotate your camera, yuck
i just hold my camera still with right click if i don't want the camera to move
or you can use xivlauncher and install a plugin that disables camera movement like that
i find myself holding the camera to look at stuff during movement any way so the camera auto-turning has become a non-issue for me
There it is, hard proof that I didn't spend enough time looking at the control options
!faq altlvlguide
What are requirements to desynthesize item? Some crafter armor pieces can be desynthesised and other do not
lvl 30 of correspond DoH job
and then some item are non-desynthesize as denoted in their tooltips
!fr
the chart for this week wont be out for 2-3h
is there an xivlauncher plugin that lets you configure party frames? would love to make HP bars more prominent
sadly i don't think they can directly modify party frames
bummer
that's like, my only issue with this game
very hard to notice that somebody died unless you're already looking for it
Does the ffxiv shadowbringers collector's addition come with all the recent expansions?
latest expansion always includes all previous expansions
In term of min-max your money, should I just wait for the End Walker to drop and grab the Complete Edition?
okay another xivlauncher question - how bad is it on patch days?
Will it have promotion in Xmas or New Year?
if you can stomach waiting 2 months until release, waiting until EW is the most cost efficient
iirc if you preorder it won't charge you until release
easier to co-ordinate timing with other people, also yes resets are tied to ST
ah, like scheduling raids and stuff
yeah
probably not since it's gonna be like a month old then, but we're not the SE marketing department so no way to tell 
Do you know the lifespan of previous Expansion before EW?
Like, how long did it take for them to be in the Complete Edition ?
hello, can you tell me what quest am I missing?
aah
look for blue quest
thank you
they stop selling previous expansions with the release of a new one so new complete edition will probably be available with EW launch on the 23rd? 24th?
probably
any1 here from elemental DC? how often does HW ex raid get posted in PF
i just seen thordan ex guide and i think pub will never be able to clear it
You mean doing HW Ex synced?
it's old content, once you're 80 you could solo it if you wanted, no idea about jp pf culture though
mostly people run old content unsynced
question for people using legacy movement - how do you cope with true front positionals, like some of the BLU spells?
aqua breath bad breath and the like
do you just remember to walk in the direction you want to shoot before using it? feels kinda awkward
Are there no GNB quests after like lvl 70-ish or am I going insane?
after 70 no
you get one after doing the role quests in shb
oh i see what you mean now
you just get used to it yeah
ahh, so there's no quest-locked actions after 70 for any job?
Yes and no. Class quests after 70 do not exist. They have been condensed into role quests, so there's one for tanks.
el zilcho
Correct.
i guess you can call them face front positionals
yes
it's physicail DPS, magic DPS, tank and healer atm
melee and physical ranged being split in EW
does any regular job have face front positionals?
was slightly confused because there was nothing below my MSQ tracker for a long while haha
tenka goken i think
overpower and tenka goken if you're talking cone aoes
either way the point remains the same, you have to just get used to pressing W to turn
nah they mean cones without targetting
i forget if tenka needs a target
overpower does
basically spells that you can spam with no target
just gotten so used to using hold RMB to position it
it's mostly an issue on BLU
Dragoon's backwards leap can be thought of as a "face-front" skill, since the direction of your jump is the opposite direction you're facing, and does not depend on the direction your foe lies
so you'll just have to learn how t do it
well either way, there aren't many conal aoes to begin with
yeah, BLU has the most out of any class
that... is going to kill me
to boss mechanics
phantom flurry, suparakhnanananadah and a bunch of generic filler gcds on it are front conal
yeah DRG you have to learn to press S for like 0.25s before you flip
idk why it isn't a front flip though

Is (aug) exarchic my best bet for entry-level gear after getting my tank to 80 or should I rather try to grind out some 9-12 savage eden coffers with my 529 healer? I'd probably have to pug for that and I'm unsure if doing either is "worth it"
is normal eden gear worth considering?
damn, backflip is significantly worse with legacy controls, sad times
520 is fine and fairly easy to get
If you're desperate, it's only 510 gear
ah
healer gear would be the most optimal but that is really up to you if you wanan get it
edenmete gear you wanna avoid
simply just obsolete unless you're super desparate
well
literall how
my gnb is average 401 right now
with standard you swing your camera 180 like a monkey
so I'm really just looking for anything to get it up to "can attempt to raid" levels of gear
if you want to frontflip you mean?
the backflip
There is no front flip
we're talking about DRG backflip right
Aug Exarchic basically lets you skip the grind
since 520 is enough to get into savage
frontflipping on standard is easy, you switch to strafe, rotate 90 degrees, rotate camera and tap the backflip
I've got some of those certs needed for augmented exarchic but I'm missing the supply for tomestones
yeah
just do aug exarchic if you wanna raid on your tank asap
On legacy you turn your character around, on standard you turn the entire camera around to turn your camera around
if i want to frontflip on legacy
i just press S
then backflip
on standard i swing the camera around in the opposite in the direcion then hit backflip
much more work
i got used to monkey camera turning in wow
you also can't see where ou're going with standard camera turning urself around for drg flip
I'm too used to controller camera controls in other games, feels like shit
if legacy turnaround had no turn radius, it would be a superior back-frontflip
Should I run paglth'an or matoya for the allegory then to get the rain? Or is there a more efficient source?

Hunts are a pretty easy source of tomes of allegory
On faloop you can find a-rank trains, get like 20*12 per train iirc
okay, if you hold 'move forward' while jumping, you can still do the monkey 180 camera flip with RMB and do a quick frontflip
hunt trains if one is running, otherwise, would personally do pagl
ah, hunts. guess I have to learn how to unlock them then
at least I also get some cryptlurker gear from running pagl
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
but should go ahead and unlock them anyway so you can atleast spend the seals
colored gems weren't from hunts, were they?
ahh
hrm, can't find anything at the mentioned coordinates in the crystarium, but I also haven't done the "Nuts To You" quest
have you done the previous hunt unnlocks?
as noted in the FAQ
you need to do ARR to unlock HW hunts
and HW hunts are required for the Sb/Shb hunts
sorry, I only looked at at the SHB section
You’ll also need to join a hunts discord or link shell and be ready to hop on them as soon as they spring up
oh that sounds... hectic
It’s a good time to rewards ratio, but if that is not your speed.. farm the last two dungeons. People are still spamming them and the queues aren’t bad
It is hectic
You get the hang of it eventually, but it’s always a bit hectic
anyone buy the game from mogstation ? i kind a not sure xD
not sure about what?
i dont want to sub yet, i just want to buy the key.
but i only have my saving to buy in mogstation atm which is crysta
mogstation is better than steam
i dont think you can buy game with crysta, just sub and addition item
i don't.. think you can buy the game with crysta?
all the buy buttons just redirect you to the se store afaik
How well does Bloodsucker work with DRK?
I know it's quite amazing on WAR, but I've never tried it on DRK
i think upgrade is from base version to collector version
like ARR base to ARR collector and so on for 3 expansions
doesn't that just mean like "enter your code"
yes, but i concern it going to make my account full version right away, bcs its from mog
but i want to buy with crysta which is only available on via mogstation
but i just want to buy the key and not using it yet

Anyone know general STAT allocation for SMN for 515 and 535 relic?
Thanks!
hi, where can i report for, crysta that i purchase it was approve on my card, but error in the store, and i didnt get the crsta
oh its still for approval, wat
are the price for complete edition still same whenever theres new expansion ?
yes
ah nice thank you
it kind of incentive new player to buy the complete edition and then pay the sub afterward cus they cant swallow that much content in a month
Came across a video and feel the need to ask, does the odin fate enrage actually wipe the whole zone or just the fate area?
The fate area
should i report this for pending for too long? or should i wait for a day
Hey i am on ps4 and im struggling with a mission can someone help me im lvl 13

Can someone help me do this mission pls im on ps4
does it matter in which city state to create a free company?
no not really
is there a concept of buff purging in this game? removing beneficial buffs from an enemy?
will my fc be permanently affiliated to where I start it?
you can move it iirc
no not really
beneficial buffs are normally always connected too boss mechaniks so very important too that fight
ok sry
i would give it a day before contacting support
i think the game is crossplatform, what do you need help with? altho im on a dif data center maybe in text i can tell you what to do
are A ranks visible from a mile away or is it only S ranks
@fringe reef stook on the mission heir tody gone tomorrow im over leveled for it but i keep dying
Only S rank
dang
can you tell me the mission name
your lvl doesnt really matter
your equipment does
or too be exact your "item lvl" matters
@fringe reef jts called heir today gone tomorrow its 1 of the early mission
@jagged holly and yh my gear is between 8-12jusf so expensive
if you are lvl15 do hall of novice for some nice early gear and a exp ring
try to time your skills, you can try to look for item rewards from side quests as well or get cheaper ones from vendors
dont worry about spending a little on them, your first dungeon run will get you abuot 7-15 thousand gil
you can also search the quest name on youtube, there are some guides
altho they just punch the mobs, in this quest

you get your first dungeon as a MSQ quest unless you reacht hat one you cant enter the dungeon
Oh
How many faded copies do i need to make a orchestrion roll? and is it a specific class or just any crafter?
Alchemist does them
Whats a msq
how do i unlock eureka pagos?
main scenario quest
Thnx
complete anemos quests
What stat is optimal to eat for on a healer? Is it job-specific, or is there an ideal "healer food" in the current patch?
bis food will depends on your job and which BIS you go with
Balance has a bunch of them and they list the best food for the set
!faq balance
Ahhh excellent ty
All the healers basically have the same stat priority, the main difference is what GCDs they’re good at
I'm in The Balance but I wasn't sure if that info was collated anywhere in particular
If you look at the BiS
Thanks!
Okie doke, thank you
Wait, Smoked Chicken? I thought it would be like, Popoto Salad or Golden Pineapple Juice or something
Crit tho
No, it gives spell speed
twilight popoto is used in the faster BiS
Oh those had crit tho nvm lol
2.32 sch uses it
the safest BiS use smoked chicken
the lower piety and faster gcd ones are only for controlled environments
aka you know what you're doing and you know how to manage your mana
Bozja: ||doesnt this make bozja a great way too lvl from lvl 71-80? in the guides i saw it was never recommended. anyone knows why?||
some of the guides may be older than bozja
and bozja is iirc only useful if you're doing bozja-based progress while doing so, and/or your queue times for highest available dungeon suck
ok faire nough
Bozja is not as fast as people make it out to be
It's good if you're dps
but if you're tank/healer, it's just better to do dungeons
also for groups that are coordinated and not taking avoidable damage/deaths
Sps food is fine to use in general if you need that last tier of your gcd
It doesn't need a coordinated environment
I mean low piety builds
How do you move the enemy's cast bar in the HUD UI? I wanna move it more to the center and increase its size
I'm just reading what it says on Balance 
I'd avoid low pi sets in prog
Also, personally think 2.32 is more comfy than 2.41 for responsiveness. I think when I was progging this tier, I used a high pi 2.32 variant, and gradually whittled down the piety
Mind that E12SP1 is especially ouch on mana

Going into Alphascape 3.0, during Cid's dialogue there's a picture of Gra'ha and a fem au'ra with a gunblade, where's that girl from ? Like which storyline ?
I did alexander and I can't remember her
Ur memory is failing you then
does a glammed piece of outfit count toward Fashion Report, or you must equip the actual item?
Glamoured items count
How exactly do you add game time to an existing sub?
where do I exchange the FFXV mount car
Manderville Gold Saucer, the prize exchange area has an Ironworks employee who sells the license for 200k MGP. You just use the item
!faq ffxvmusic
Where/How can I get the FFXV Orchestrion Rolls?
After you have completed the FFXV collaboration quest 'The Man in Black' you'll be able to buy the Orchestrion rolls from the Ironworks Hand located in Central Thanalan at x22, y18. The tokens needed to exchange for the Orchestrion rolls come from the Collaboration FATE Like Clockwork located east of Black Brush Station.
Each completion of the FATE gives you 1 token for silver rating and 2 tokens for gold rating, which means that you'll need to complete the fate 3 to 6 times to be able to buy all 6 Orchestrion rolls.
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)
alright I have got them👍
Sup, just learned about preferred servers exp bonus, but there's no EU preferred world available rn. So i'm thinking about starting on NA data center on preferred world and then transfer to EU data center. Is that works?
90 days? Sounds bad
I just finished ARR, so i'm not that far on my previous character
It's somewhat far
It's not worth it
And i think i'll save a lot of time with 90 days exp bonus leveling up some jobs
what's the best/first thing I should get with Bozja Clusters? Riding map?
aite Thanks
Is the optimal cluster farming a full pt?
3 top, 3 middle, 2 bottom?
You're probably right about that preferred thing, i'll just continue on my current character
Thanks for help
I assume WHM, WAR as base combo, then a dps
what should I meld to crafting gear?
the stats you need
Hello, I'm trying to find an axe I don't know the name of. It looks like a crecent moon and it has a visual effect like a relic, but it doesn't match any of the War relics
yep
I thought so, thanks
If it's not a relic, then it's a crafted primal weapon
endgame crafts have a minimum stat requirement to be able to start the craft so that's like the first priority, then extra CP/control/craftsmanship to whatever your macro needs
!itemglam Tsukuyomi's axe
actually I looked it up and it's not the moonlit greataxe
Can you describe the color of the visual effects?
If I may add my two cent on crafter melds
what's the monetization in this game?
Note that once you meet the required craftmanship, melding a few extra points in craftmanship probably won't change your Synthesis steps (500 synthesis will take 4 steps to get you to 2000, 520 synthesis will take 4 steps too, so no point in gaining those 20)
What I've heard is that you play for free until lv60 and the subscription is optional, stuff like xp boost
B2p with subscription
So you should try to go for more control and CP
but looking at the site it says the sub is mandatory to play?
tank/BLM per zone is optimal, 3p is whatever
But once you buy the game you need to sub
big free trial -> buy2play box + subscription
Thanks
like you can play "most" of the game for free, so sub can be optional in that sense, but you won't reach endgame without paying
Aite. Though i found that with a RDM, we seem to have went MUCH faster
It was Byakko's axe, thanks
RDM is fine too, key point is flare star really
Depending on how you cut it, less than half of the game is free
Free trial also limits your inventory and social
(this comes with various ramifications depending on what you play and what you want to do in XIV)
!itemglam Byakko's Enspirited Greataxe
Yeah, the challenge log
One more question: When was the last time EU worlds received preferrable bonus?
like july/august
it's a way of balancing the population of servers by directing new players into the preferred worlds, but nowadays so many new players are joining that leaving one server preferred for a patch will make it super overpopulated
so they're just sticking to the dynamic opening and closing based on the amount of currently logged in users
The average person cannot bear the pain of not having preferred world on EU data center
Thanks for answer
now i'm told if I buy the DLC I also get the sub and vice versa
basically my issue is mandatory subscriptions, hate'em
B2P ain't a problem
if I get to 60 would I need to pay subscriptions?
or could I just buy the DLCs as they release and not have to
you can do the whole hw on free trial right
If you wanna play anything past the first expansion Heavensward you need to buy the expac and the sub
No way around that
!faq buy
why do some items say market prohibited but they are available on the market board?
Whats the fastest way to complete the second to last quest of the resistance relic ? raids or zadnor ?
Once an item has soulbind it is market prohibited
Do zadnor until you got r25 because it's going to be required anyway, then raids, IMO
ummm
i just got my gnb to 80 and wanted to grab some bozjan gear but the resistance supplier doesn't show any shop items
it just say "we have already begun to incorporate this newfound knowledge into new arms for the resistance"
Hello, I have met a player in game who is harrassing me and laughing at me for being free trial and not buying the game.
Said player has been spamming provocative emotes/language to extrude their "supremacy", despite I have told I am not interested in entertaining her
Is this considered an offence?
Have you completed bozja quest line?
guides say i just need to complete the resistance rank 10 big event and earn coints
so i guess yes
Blacklist and report
Harassment is absolutely an actionable offense
if you mean the 180 items step
Do zadnor 100%
Hello! I linked my Square enix account with my PlayStation’s when I started the game - but when I want to log in through my phone or computer, I don’t seem to have a working “Square enix ID”
The email registered with the Playsation account is not recognized by Square. My PS ID doesn’t seem to work either. Anyone else had this?
I see, thank you for clarifying, sorry for asking as I do not know how law works in the game
When i clicked on report I can only see "Report RMT Activity", is there other report options?
You have to go through support desk, which is found in the main menu
i was away from my screen for few moments and missed important cut scene, any way i can re watch?
The unending journey found in Inn rooms
inn rooms as in like hotel room
Yup by the adventurer’s guild in any town
okay thank you
Yah, in the major cities pubs
Is there a dedicated console player here? How did you manage to use the companion app?
I did castrum and have bozjan coins but the vendor doesn't sell me any items
is shield block rate a %?
No
Thank you so much for the help, I have made a report, thank you again!
Wait I figured out my own question, no worries 👍

i used fantasia to edit char but where is the option i dont see it https://i.imgur.com/0VQ8znV.png
thx
is this local time or server time?
It's been a while, but how come I can't enter a party that's starting at floor 50 when I have this: ?
I thought I've cleared floor 61 so should be able to enter 50, no?
why are scars option different now than before i tried making char
i want same scar wtf
Because you have to delete a file to start from 51.
That's it? I just delete one of them to enter a PF that starts at 51?
Wow, I left a party thinking I wasn't eligible cause of "too low gear" or something..
i noticed MCH in the endwalker liveletter using a shotgun as one of their actions, do you think it will be basically Spread Shot II (or Heated)?
You have to have a free file space to restart.
That's all.
So once you do 51-60, you'll have to delete a file if you want to do it again.
Does it matter which file I delete? I assume the game remembers last floor I cleared was 61, right?
It doesn't
Well shit, I'll delete the 11 then just to be sure...
Local time
are there more bluequests behind patch5.2 msq and further?
5.3 unlocks Eden promise
^
And 5.4 is required for Zadnor
ok i gonna finish msq first then
Which is part of relic stuff ^
Why cant I send mail to all my friends? Only 7 appear. Is it only server specific?
YoshiP pls...
Is there anywhere a Heaven on High discord or some such? Would like to start on that if possible.
How many cities can your Retainers be from? Is it just: Limsa, Uldah, Gridania, Ishgard, Kugane, and Crystarium?
ctrl+right click
i just noticed i leveled my gunbreaker to 80 without continuation because i forgot class quests
okay so i see a lot of people's character making noise when doing various actions. how do you enable that?
mine is just mute
yes i know that keyboard command
no actions
i mean like in text to /loc coordinates
skills
my character is mute
you can sometimes hear them, but they're pretty mute compared to the skill sound
i think they have a specific sound setting
ya i need to know the settings
cos i see a lot of people's characters making noise during actions from their point of view. mine is just silent
Are you playing a whm or something
Do you have voices turned down?
presse R1+L1 on a map coordinate if you're on controller @boreal aurora
In the sound settings
It could also be the sound position option
White Mages don't make noises
But other than those you won't make sound for anything that isn't a physical attack
Could be that
So casters don't make noise unless you're a rdm
i play drg/sam/pld/ast
i mean i got all jobs to 80
Haven't heard character make a single noise except skill sound effects
but I'll check out the settings
Ye that has to be a sound setting thing
Yes
I main DRK and GNB, both at 80 - im looking to Play some DPS class for quicker open world and such, what class would be Similar in playstyle? Couldnt mind both ranged mag DPS or melee

Should I just be focusing on finishing the MSQ and doing the blue quests as a new player? I keep seeing stuff about the golden saucer, fashion stuff. I'm guessing thats mostly endgame stuff?
It's best to focus on MSQ of course, to unlock things, but if you feel like you need a break you can try what you wish that's accessible to you, even if it's side content.
Gotcha, thanks!
Anyone know how much I need to advance Heaven on High before Ushogi becomes playable for Triple Triad cards?
probably just need to finish the story at 30
Does the "Khloe's best friend" title get awarded if you collect 50 stamps or is it awarded if you complete the entire book 50 times?
50 books, so 50 weeks
Ah makes sense, cheers!
So, i have been trying to solo Coils for the lore, but i am stuck on T8. The ballistic Missile one shots me, is there any way to avoid it or need one more person at least?
Does anybody know the name of this item?
It was some pillow that somebody summoned and they could interact with it as if it was house furniture.
Ah, I can't remember the strategy for the homing Missile
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Plush_Cushion probably this minion
You should be able to take the damage though, right?
Thankies, ill check it out @hot eagle
IIRC, if you hold it at a certain percentage, after a few minutes it will start to enrage and you may be able to kill it during that
Alright thanks ill try that
do i need to do more quest than 1 for a car mount? (except 50 lvl etc cuz i have that already)
because i cant find the quest
if you do unsynce druns of dungeons
do you still get the guranteed drop for your class?
yes if it's a dungeon that does those drops
is there a way to know if it is or not?
well that explains why i still dont have a coat of healing from ghimlyt
thanks a lot!
oh one other question
does it help if you hold the other drops
?
will the dungeon drop dupes or no?
only if ur by yourself tho yah
in a group if other people need it even tho you don't you can get a dupe
Wait do you mean from the chests?
ye
If so then that's all rng unfortunately
gotcha
It could give you the same thing every time you run it just because

There's also an option to reduce other characters' movement physics.

How important is it to get weapons/armor in the 520+ range for casual play? I'm running 510 atm
not sure if it's worth grinding lol
u can get bitter memory of the dying from daily levelling and daily 50/60/70 dungeon right?
or just levelling
ppl mostly run antitower 6 times
another question, but where the heck do I get new weapons for blu?
currently level 11 lol
oh what, seriously?
There's like 6 different weapons
Yes
All the weapon stats are the same
In exchange, intelligence boosts their damage more than regular jobs do
The weapon is just a melding stick later
The 60/70 weapons have 2 materia slots but 0 stats
Giving weapon stats to blu would make them even more op and they're already busted af
