I'm so confused what's suddenly changed, it's like I just can't connect to anything square enix suddenly

spark pollen
#

how do I do that

slate arrow
#

You can have task manager open or something if you'd like

#

If there's a spike when not in between scenes

#

You might have a hardware issue

slate arrow
spark pollen
#

okay downloading the endwalker benchmark

#

still weird tho, cause even playing games like dbd, black desert, rainbow six never had this issue

rancid flint

#

FFXIV is an exception because fundamentally this game is still a PS3 game

How can you check AG_PeepoStare

I need help. Why is the lightning 100% fine on NPCs faces during certain cutscenes, while it's an absolute mess on my characters face?

Can you do Zonureskin maps with 1-4 ppl?

no

#

I've seen a few images of dps counters (or what I think is that) from people is that an in game option I haven't seen yet or are those like external add-ons? I'd like to see if I'm doing alright when I play I don't really know

robust magnet

So need the 8 people?

ACT/Parsing

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.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

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.

river river
#

Oooh Ic, tyty

#

I have no real judge on if I'm doing well or not so I have no idea if I should be trying to improve on that level really

agile laurel
#

if you're in duty finder content

#

it's designed to be done by the lowest common denominator

#

the game is kind of dreadful for forcing you to improve at any point in the msq

river river
#

Generally my only measure is "the entire team isn't dead"

agile laurel
#

besides that, press damage buttons

raw granite
#

What level do you need to use master recipes VII ?

ripe hound
#

I kinda wish there is an ability you can use in normal content.
Like, a duty action any one can use. It costs 1 bar of LB, and allow you to raise one person.
This way we can have even harder content in MSQ, and when a bad tank or healer dies it’s not that dreadful

#

Like, only available in Normal Trails

narrow jay
#

that's called Phoenix Down, and is in fact an item

#

it's also called "play a red mage or summoner"

pulsar escarp
#

phoenix down can only used outside of battle though

Noob question; I'm looking to farm the extreme primal ARR horsies but since I'm playing on a free trial account I can't use the party finder. What would be the best way to grind these? Duty finder? Or should I find a static group willing to do the same?

ripe hound

I think you can use the PF?

I'll just wait till you reach 80 and solo these

I'm currently looking up the upcoming duty of [4.1 spoilers] ||"Return of the Bull"|| and while I understand boss mechs, I'm very doubtful of my ability to deflect the tethered orbs. Is it recommended to go for a mobile job? Any tips for that mechanic?

Anyone know what rank I have to be to unlock the chocobo challenge races?

pro gamer tip is to aim for where the orbs cross so you can get multiple at once

swift pasture
#

what are stuff I can buy through allegory and sell in the market board?

gloomy mortar
#

@swift pasture Exarchic mats, but those don’t sell for much; maybe 1.5k each

#

If you can craft the mats into ingots, they can sell for ~10k

gloomy mortar
#

Other than mats, not that I know of. On my server, Solstice Ingots sell well, but prices fluctuate between 10k and 18k

you have a beast tribe quest active from a previous day

either abandon it or complete it

Should I pentameld my aesthete gear with Gathering materia over Perception materia in preparation for Endwalker because HQ gathering mats are going away? Or will it matter

So a completely unused door

#

Is there a way to run the UI and game at separate resolutions on PC? I love the look of the 4K UI, but my PC is only strong enough to run it smoothly on 1080p. I know on PS5 there's separate options for game resolution versus UI resolution, but I didn't see anything like that in the PC settings.

slate arrow
#

PS5 is the same, it's just utilizing the ps4 pro's checkerboard rendering technique

#

Unfortunately, it's 'custom' for playstation so it's not something they can backport to PC as far as I know

past verge
#

wompwomp thanks for the clarification though

obtuse crescent
#

How do i get the download to not crash?

jade plover
#

A question: Historically, how long usually after a new expansion do the level boost items get updated?

twilit arch
#

should be updated with early access iirc, if not then with official release

jade plover
#

Gotcha. Ty.

marsh vigil

Is this the place to ask for help with crafting?

patent citrus
#

yeah

marsh vigil
#

Am I allowed to ask for someone to help me craft specific things or is that a nono

night oxide
#

i accidently

#

skipped some dialogue

#

is there a way for me to see it again?

#

it was while accepting a quest

marsh vigil
#

abandon

#

and go to quest giver again?

night oxide
#

it doesnt let me abandon

twilit arch
#

check there first

#

assuming you haven't changed all of the tabs ofc

night oxide
#

oh

#

there we go

#

thank you!

You can't transfer to congested servers

#

Does any xp boost affect your chocobo when racing at gold saucer?

thick pagoda
#

is it too populated basically?

faint flare
#

the ENTIRE of Aether is congested

#

Cause Se said so

thick pagoda
#

ah

#

so is it like impossible then?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

No way into aether

#

For anyone

thick pagoda
#

:/

#

fucking lame

slate arrow
#

and this upcoming patch wont be changing that either

thick pagoda
#

but understood

slate arrow
#

we wont see an unlock until post EW launch

thick pagoda
#

wait

#

so they straight up just

#

locked aether?

#

v cool

faint flare
#

They do it based on population

slate arrow
#

because everyone migrating from WOW went to Aether because it's seen as the raiding DC

#

I don't have any evidence other than the congested lockout but that's the most likely explanation

faint flare
#

That and wow streamers were there

#

Like baldmab

thick pagoda
#

ik i went there from wow cause it was a raiding DC

#

so checks out

slate arrow
#

not it is a raiding DC

#

its seen as one

#

you can raid on any

#

because before world visit, gilgamesh was the premiere endgame hub

outer plank
#

just double checking, when do mobs get stun immunity from holy? is it after 6 times?

thick pagoda
#

ah

heavy wadi
#

most don't raid in fcs anyways.

#

you can raid on any dc fine.

#

don't listen to generalizations about dcs

slate arrow
#

because raids are limited to 8 people anyways and because of how the lockouts work

#

you don't really try to raid with the whole FC lmao

swift pasture
#

can I still sell my items in the marketboard if my retainer is doing a venture?

leaden ginkgo
#

Hi I have a question. If for example I had a Pugilist and I wanted to switch to White mage or scholar at 30 when it becomes available to heal, can I do that or do I need to be an arcanist first? I know you can do all jobs on the same character in this game but I want to know if its leve llocked

swift pasture
#

or does my retainer needs to not be doing anything so I can sell in the marketboard?

faint flare
#

Pugilist only goes to monk

#

Conjuer goes to white mage

#

Arcanist goes to scholar

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok but can't you be any job in this game with the same character?

#

So theoretically when can I pick up a healing job?

#

AS a pugilist

swift pasture
#

you can pick conjurer any time as long as you can go to gridania

swift pasture
twilit arch
#

you need to also complete your lvl 10 class quest

frozen wind
#

whats the easiest and fastest disciple of the hand/land to level?

twilit arch
#

before you can unlock other classes

faint flare
frozen wind
#

I just want to do my beast tripe quest and the last quest requires me to be a level 50 of either one

faint flare
#

You do them all at once

frozen wind
#

I just want one

#

i dont care for crafting

boreal storm
#

That’s not smart but you do you

twilit arch
#

what beast tribe quest?

frozen wind
#

I dont like crafting

#

im only doing it to fulfill what i need for last quest, i dont want to spend my game time doing something i dont enjoy

boreal storm
#

Then why are you doing a crafter tribe

frozen wind
#

Because i just want the emote

#

and after that

#

i drop it completly

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh ok. So can you explain a bit more please? if I do the level 10 class quest, do I need to do it for the corresponding class as well, before I can get white mage or scholar or w/e?

frozen wind
#

So which one would be the easiest if anyone thats knowledgble knows

boreal storm
#

Any

twilit arch
#

Do alchemist or culinarian then, as they're the most indepenent of the lot

frozen wind
#

Thank you for giving me a actulaly useful answer kael

#

ill go cul

twilit arch
#

You need to do your lvl 10 class quest to unlock the armoury system as whole

#

For the class you started as

#

you'll have to do your class quests for the new class, regardless since one they unlock new skills and two are required to be completed to become a job

sudden dock
#

how do i get the in game bonus free teleport to an aetheryte for having 2fa on?

jolly hedge
#

so im like lvl 17 rn on my glad and now im able to go get the rogue quest and become one. Since i'll be lvl 1 all over again, whats the quickest way for me to get to where my glad is? I'd assume its just side quests in the area.

twilit arch
#

once you've applied 2fa to your acct. there will be an option to make the location a free destination at the aetheryte

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah I see. Ok so assuming I have a level 70 Ninja and I also want to get him a Dark Mage job, I have to go through Thaumaturge quests and then up to Dark Mage? Also how does a class like Dancer work? Can my Thaumaturge become a dancer straight away at level 60?

jolly hedge
#

so those alone can boost me up?

#

or side quests included

twilit arch
#

yes, you'd have to go thru the thaum quests to unlock black mage

#

you'd be able to unlock dnc straight away since you've got a lv70 ninja (this is also assuming you own shadowbringers)

leaden ginkgo
#

No the dancer is for another character I'm currently levelling. The char is currently a level 8 thaumaturge. So if I got her to 60, could I make her a dancer or do I need to have picked a different starting class for it? And yes I got shadowbringers

twilit arch
#

yes you could make the character a dnc once its lv60

#

expansion jobs dont have a base class

leaden ginkgo
boreal storm
#

SB and ShB jobs don’t have any real prerequisites other than level

twilit arch
#

it doesn't matter what class

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok cool thanks everyone. This is such a helpful discord.

onyx zinc
austere pebble
#

Is it better to run Zadnor or just run the raids for this last Grind part to the ShB relic quest?

faint flare
#

Zadnor for the skirmish items

#

Bare minimum

#

Que for Ces when they pop

leaden ginkgo
#

One last thing. For a higher level character, if I want to pick up a second class/job, I'll still have the level I had on the first job right? it's only the new one that would start at 1 again?

faint flare
#

Finish off in raids

boreal storm
#

Levels are for that job

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok cool, so I'll keep the original levels I had already. Just the new job would be back to square one?

boreal storm
#

I mean you just unlocked it so, it’d be at the starting job level for that expansion

twilit arch
#

depends on what you unlocked

#

if its a realm reborn class, it starts a lv1

#

if its a heavensward job, it starts at 30

frozen wind
#

anyone know a good site for crafting macros?

#

specifically for culnarian

twilit arch
#

stormblood jobs start at 50, and shadowbringers jobs start at 60

twilit arch
frozen wind
#

alrighty ty

twilit arch
#

can use those as a basis and modify them as neeeded

frozen wind
#

quick question, for beast tribe moogles

#

is most of the daily quest going to be crafting or killing stuff?

twilit arch
#

mostly crafting

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok let me be specific then. I have a level 71 boosted Ninja, story boost too. If I wanted to give him the Dark mage job too, I'd have to go through the thaumaturge quests, then Dark mage, while starting from level 1, but as a Ninja he'd still be level 71? I hear switching between clases/jobs is easy right?

boreal storm
#

It’s all crafting

frozen wind
#

why did the emote have to be locked behind that

#

huuuuu

twilit arch
#

yes, it be a lv71 ninja with a lv1 thaumaturge when you unlock thaum

#

and switching between classes, once you've got them unlocked, is just a matter of equipping their weapon

#

can make gearsets and put them on your hotbar for easier time switching between them

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok got it, thank you. I just wanted to make sure I won't lose the progress as a ninja, since he's a high level. Lol.

frozen wind
#

So I threw away my crafting pot and my crafting gear

#

where can i get a new pot

#

*pan

boreal storm

frozen wind
#

Is it worth buying crafting gear outside of main arm when leveling?

#

asking mainly to see how much gil I can save/sink

boreal storm
#

It’s where your stats come from

#

And seeing how you can’t make your own

frozen wind
#

let me rephrase then

#

what level would be a good threshold to start buying gear

faint flare
#

You need to keep your gear updated

arctic schooner
#

510

faint flare
#

Like every 5-10 levels

#

Or you'll struggle to progr

arctic schooner
#

you will be fine

#

running dungeon

frozen wind
#

ill go level 10 and go every 10 levels then

#

wait

boreal storm
#

Also vendor gear isn’t HQ so it sucks

frozen wind
#

no Im asking for culnarian, not dungeon xD

#

this is a crafting question for gear

twilit arch
#

you can get by with vendor gear for crafters/gatherers

arctic schooner
#

oh

#

sorry

frozen wind
#

I was gonna say because im already wearing savage raid gear lol

arctic schooner
#

so expensive though, but I guess you should have plenty of cash to spare

frozen wind
#

does brand new ring effect crafting exp?

#

never mind it doesnt

twilit arch
#

no cos you cant wear it as a crafter

boreal storm
#

You can get crafter exp manuals from your GC

jade plover
frozen wind
#

where can i get more faiery apples?

#

because my mb is out of them

boreal storm
#

Gathering

arctic schooner
#

buy from other server

frozen wind
#

praying that admanotise is cheaper

marsh vigil
boreal storm
#

People might ask for payment but...they’d do it

frozen wind
#

wow jenovas prices are so much cheaper

marsh vigil
#

Yeah I assume so, but if its even close to half of the cost on the market board I'd rather just do the coinflip and pray to RNG. Considering getting materials and all that as well

tight spoke
#

Does gear matter for melding?

arctic sable
#

Hey guys. Just purchased the option items Tales of Adventure: Stormblood and I can't seem to find it at the Delivery Moogle. I have all the DLC and I previously purchased One Dragoon's Journey II and it shows up on the account straight away. Do I have to wait or is something wrong?

boreal storm
tight spoke
#

i mean melding myself

#

does level or anything actually affect meld chance

faint flare
#

No

#

Its static

Based on the slot and materia tier

ashen ginkgo
#

I am level 33 arcanist but all my gear is still level 15.. what's best way to upgrade it? I am only level 18 weaver

patent citrus
#

once I got my anemos weapon, is there any point staying in anemos?

#

is there any use of protean/anemos crystal beside augmenting the antique gear from non-eureka stuff?

patent citrus
#

like when lv 60 people staying in anemos, what objective do they have? 🤔

#

like what motivates them to still farm at anemos for pazuzu for example

#

I don't see any other items coming from pazuzu feather beside anemos weapon

last escarp
#

For the resistance weapons, what all gathering of the memories can be done on a different job that the weapon you want? I am nearing the delubrum step, and would rather not tank that if possible

patent citrus
#

yeah you can

#

just make sure you have the quest ongoing

#

so DR will drop the items

#

if you are working on multiple relic

#

you can keep the quest open until you farm enough memories

last escarp
#

I am almost on it, finishing the one before it, doing the mhach raids now

patent citrus
#

how many weapon you are planning to do?

last escarp
#

Honestly, I just wanna finish up pld and gear out before endwalker hits, I have my 4 jobs based on visual appeal that I plan to play in endwalker

patent citrus
#

ah ok

#

yeah, talk to the npc as a PLD

#

and then queue for delubrum with the class you like

#

use dps essence and spam x 5 till you get enough memories

last escarp
#

I'll be going in as rdm, any suggested essences and lost actions I should bring?

patent citrus
#

skirmisher, not sure about the suitable lost action

last escarp
#

I have a decent stack of the essences for dr only too, if that matters

patent citrus
#

then elder probably and lost font of magic (not sure)

shut panther
#

Or if you're helping friends

#

Or of course the dyeable af gear

patent citrus
#

ok ty ty

atomic pilot
#

Question: assuming I have addons to my subscription (companion app, retainers, etc.) and I opt for say 6 month subscriptions, are those adds ons gonna be added to that sub or will I still be charged monthly for those?

twilit arch
#

not sure on companion app, but retainers get rolled into your sub

#

so you'd be charged every 6mo same as your sub

atomic pilot
#

Alrighty

twilit arch
#

i wanna say companion app is the same? but i can't say with certainty

atomic pilot
#

It has to be. I am thinking of getting a six month sub for myself this xmas

#

Another question: if say I opt for crysta for my sub and should the sub run out, does it automatically deduct from the crysta I have accumulated? or do I have to pay manually again?

dim marsh
#

why do people not move their retainers to places with 0% tax? are they just lazy or are there other benefits that i'm missing

atomic pilot
#

Speaking for myself..... yeah, I suppose I am lazy.

  1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

  2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

i think some low-level materia are used for the ARR relic weapons

#

Is the Aery usually such a long duty?

#

I'm leveling DRK so I decided to try tanking it and, even with me pulling w2w (with the healer keeping up), rotating cds, the rest of the party throwing out good damage and nobody dying it still took around 18-19 minutes

#

It's been a good while since I went through it for the MSQ so I can't remember if it was that long then or if we just had a not-so-great run

most of the leveling dungeon takes 20mins on average

if i use Regen when tank pulling it's normal i have aggro for a bit right?

yes

Yes, healing generates aggro

yea i was confused

i got insult for pulling when i didnt pull

hey guys, I just finished doing the shadowbringers relic weapon quest, "The Will to Resist" and now its asking me to re-do a quest I already completed "For Want of a Memory"

#

is this a bug?

alpine shadow
#

have you selected the correct quest?

#

when talking to geralt

chrome basin
#

isn't the next quest called "Law's Order"?

#

I don't see it

boreal storm
alpine shadow
#

yeah, the next quest should be laws order

#

did you reach rank 10 and completed cll?

#

and completed "A Sign of whats to come" "Fit for a queen" and "In the Queen's Image"?

#

and then you need to also finish Delubrum Reginae

#

the repeatable quest itself is called "Change of Arms"

chrome basin
#

I am resistance rank 10 though I dont remember the quests I completed

#

probably not

alpine shadow
#

are there any quests left in gangos?

chrome basin

I'm on "The Lady of Blades"

my fisherman is level 80

DoL is left side, one let you go to diadem, the other is appraiser

scarlet hinge
umbral dune

yes, you need to gather item in diadem then get them appraised to get skybuilder scrip

the appraiser will tell you how each item worth, a yellow title on the right menu like Item list

#

how do I enable the damage taken from name.

cursive ridge
#

maybe that's just for pvp? or a mod, don't know

open elm
#

I just started the game and I can’t load into the second area

outer mural
vital ruin
#

do i need BiS for 2.4 gcd? @outer mural

outer mural
#

no but 2.4 is genrally the speed people run GNB at fir comfiness

vital ruin
#

o nvm my pld is 2.42
and i clip while double weave

outer mural
#

it’s just based on ur skill soeed

#

ya then maybe GNB not the play if it’s consistently clipping

vital ruin
#

is single weave GNB bad?

outer mural
#

not optimal

#

GNB has mandatory 6 weaves for its damage

vital ruin
#

how much dps can u expect from single weave gnb

outer mural
#

fitting more defensives will be a struggle

#

Idk but it’s less than double weaving since less stuff will be inside of raid buffs depending

vital ruin
#

hmm

#

how much dps is expected from an optimum GNB

outer mural
#

check fflogs but ballpark of 15k is good

vital ruin
#

oof 15k is too much haha

outer mural
#

here’s single weave opener

#

it’s playable

dreamy juniper
#

you're only dealing like maybe 95~96% of someone with no ping

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys does the squadron training board stats effect when your doing a Dungen with then

umbral dune
#

no

#

their tactics do

vital ruin
#

can single weave gnb hit 10k

outer mural
#

probably

vital ruin
#

easily?

outer mural
#

10k is low for a tank though

dreamy juniper
#

as a result of pressing more buttons outside raid buffs, and buttons starting to cooldown a bit later

vital ruin
#

true

cursive ridge
outer mural
#

yeah easily with like 520 gear and being good at the class

vital ruin
#

i c

outer mural
#

if you’re in 520 gear and only doing 10k

vital ruin
#

can i calculate dps with sss

outer mural
#

brush up on ur rotation

#

!faq sss

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS
  1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
  2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
  3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
  4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
  5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
  6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
  7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
outer mural
#

use a regular dummy

vital ruin
#

but PS4

outer mural
#

i mean you could but it’s not super accurate

vital ruin
#

I'll just get an idea cos i got no other option

how do i swap crafter specializations again?

i have 3 already

#

nvm figured it out

warm snow
leaden granite
#

hey, new here! i capped out on allagan tomestone of poetics, ive googled a bit and found i should buy gear for them

#

where do i buy that gear? i assume a vendor in town, but there are 250x of them

#

is there a special icon for vendors that sell that gear?

umbral dune
#

Mor dhona or the blue bag icon in Gridania, Uldah, Limsa

leaden granite
#

ah so its always the blue bag icon?

umbral dune
#

those 3 above is for lvl 50 and you would want ironwork, then Ishgard for lvl 60 and so on

leaden granite
#

kk

#

so is the vendor in those towns always one with a blue bag?

#

im really just having trouble finding the vendor that sells it

pallid hearth
#

If Blue Mage can't be used for most contents, what is it good for?

thorn thicket
#

Media Tour NDA is up on the 12th, right?

umbral dune
#

it sells the same thing as those 2 girls in Mor Dhona

pallid hearth
#

Can I use Blue Mage to farm FATE memories for example?

thorn thicket
#

Yep

leaden granite
pallid hearth
#

To farm boring stuffs then? Lol

thorn thicket
#

It can be used in everything but content over its level, and Eureka currently, Bozja will most likely be included in 6.1 (or whenever we get level 80 BLU)

#

There are achievements for using it in synced, no echo runs of final raid fights for titles and a mount

pallid hearth
#

I haven't play around with Eureka just yet. Do I have to farm stuffs like in Bozjan?

umbral dune
thorn thicket
#

If you’ve seen anyone with Morbol as a mount, they’ve at least cleared T5 T9 T13, A4S A8S and A12S with nothing but BLU

warm snow
thorn thicket
#

And no, Eureka is much more boring, and needs to be tweaked again -_-

pallid hearth
solemn jewel
#

Alexander

thorn thicket
#

You have to farm mobs to spawn the main fates, and they have 2 hour cooldown

pallid hearth
#

Oh dear.. farming 60 memories is boring enough, Eureka is worse? Loool

warm snow
#

Except for Alex you have to do savage for the morbol

thorn thicket
#

T = Bahamut, A = Alexander, O = Omega, and E = Eden. Odds are we’ll be going with P for Pandemonium

It's t for bahamut cuz it's binging coil Turn 1-5

Unless they do what they did with Coils and have “turn” or “floor” or whatever

#

Yeah, I figured that out when my friend said T10

#

Probably 3rd binding

warm snow
#

Arr is arr

twilit arch
#

its gonna be P

#

besides these are community terms anyway

warm snow
#

Some old players still call Alex 1-8 gordian and midan

#

But that's not very common

thorn thicket
#

I’m aware, but I remember groups trying to make O1-O4 “D1-D4” because it was Deltascape

twilit arch
#

🤷‍♂️ there's always going to be a few groups that try to do weird things

thorn thicket
#

Like not including the T in the short hand for Palace of the Dead -_-

#

“Anyone one running PoD” “running what???”

pearl hill
#

Still Better then me consistently calling it House of the Dead

pallid hearth
#

Some still argues POTD is the fastest to level 1-50

twilit arch
#

potd is good if youre queue times are 15+mins

pallid hearth
#

I have some friends that do POTD with me so less than 5 mins queue, we're just looking for one more person

twilit arch
#

queue times for dungeons i meant

pallid hearth
#

Either POTD or spamming dungeons

twilit arch
#

which is why ppl who are leveling alt dps generally do potd

pallid hearth
#

hmmm makes sense

prisma hill
#

If you got something like minfilias earings that boosts xp by 30% and FC buff then dungeons will probably be faster.

twilit arch
#

dungeons are better, in general

#

but even if you have the earrings

prisma hill
#

You also get gear that you can wear, turn into seals ect.

pallid hearth
#

I usually just run dungeons with squadrons hehe

twilit arch
#

they generally dont make up the efficiency of not having short queue times

#

that is the main reason why potd is recommended for dps

#

is because it is more efficient queue time wise

prisma hill
#

I leveled my palading from 30 to 50 in about one day in squadrons the other day.

#

it was mostly 1-2 levels per run.

twilit arch
#

squadrons takes a bit of investment to get to be able to run squadrons with

pallid hearth
#

yeah, its best if your not healer when running with squadron

prisma hill
#

yeah, the tank can't keep agro, and the healer won't heal fast.

#

Had a few deaths cos no heals lol

pallid hearth
#

lv 70+ can do trust dungeon right

prisma hill
#

yeah, you can also do some beastribe missions while waiting for duties.

twilit arch
#

anyway, this is just recommendations

pallid hearth
#

Oh right, forgot about beast tribe missions

twilit arch
#

they are not hard rules

#

there are a variety of ways to level

pallid hearth
#

No worries, I take all what I can get

prisma hill
#

There are some gaps in squadron dungeons I think, like no 35 or 38 dungeon

twilit arch
#

yes

#

squadrons do not cover everything between 20-60

devout lichen
#

can you buy anything on the store with crysta? or what can you buy with crysta besides gametime

leaden ginkgo
#

How many max players can there be in one world?

umbral dune
#

they said 750 players at the same time is the maximum

twilit arch
devout lichen
#

also, can you directly buy gametime with a card or it has to be through crysta

#

I always just bought it with crysta but now I'm wondering

twilit arch
#

there's an option for credit/debit card to pay for subtime

devout lichen
#

which one cuz I only have those

#

and crysta

spring lintel
#

What do i do with excess "frosted protean crystals" in pagos eureka? Can i exchange them for pagos crystals?

twilit arch
#

sometimes steam acct. for mogstation can be a little...weird? not entirely sure why but trying using incognito mode/a different browser

devout lichen
#

maybe it gets replaced with steam payment if you are playing on steam

twilit arch
#

iirc a few people who have steam see both

#

but i'm not steam so can't really comment on it

#

all i know is that incognito/diff browser has worked int he past for ppl with same issue

devout lichen
#

incognito didn't fix it but it's not really a problem, I was just wondering

#

steam payment should work perfectly fine right

hot eagle
#

could also be hidden since you are allrdy on a recurring sub but who knows squares account stuff can be messy sometimes

twilit arch
#

ye

tribal pewter

Is anyone else on Crystal experience some weird latency issues?

sullen moth
#

I have a really weird technical problem with the game lol

#

I launched the game via steam and got a blue screen for some reason

#

when I rebooted my pc, it looks like the game uninstalled itself (?)

#

also when I try to log in, it says that my subscription has expired while this can't be true as mogstation says it's still valid

jagged holly
#

that sounds like 2 different problems

#

blue screen is a pc problem

sullen moth
#

blue screen isn't a problem anymore

#

the point is, it seems like the ff14 launcher doesn't recognize the fact that the game is already installed

#

I had to redownload the launcher from steam

onyx oak
#

anyone know how much it takes to go through stormblood an shadowbringers story?

jagged holly
#

around the same as HW for each

sullen moth
#

the whole 53 GB folder is still there

jagged holly
#

weird

sullen moth
#

but the launcher tries to redownload the whole game

#

and with my current internet it's not an option

jagged holly
#

not sure about ff14
but this happens often with PoE on steam (evcery update needs too redownload whole game)
thats why i use the standalone version of both games

sullen moth
#

as you can see, the whole 53 gigabyte folder is still here

#

and yet the launcher tries to redownload the whole game

nocturne salmon
#

Hey, are there any good super early game money making methods (I just need enough that I can be able to consistently teleport around for quests without my wallet draining)

umbral dune
#

if you doing the MSQ only, the game throw you way more than needed

nocturne salmon
#

im not, im doing lifeskilling atm

#

hence why money is short

umbral dune
#

you can do roulette leveling with adventurer in need bonus

#

around 5-6k per run (it scales of your level so the higher the more you get)

#

that is like 15-20 tele for 20mins farming

mossy delta
#

are the gridanian barding and half barding from the twin adders shop different things ? and are they different from the gridanian saddle you get with your chocobo?

umbral dune
#

otherwise, allied and centurio seal then exchange for aetheryte ticket

twilit arch
#

yes, they're two different things

#

its not a super big difference, but the basically the half barding doesn't have quite as much armour as the barding you get when you unlock your chocobo

#

and the crested barding has more, with the helm being a bit fancier

nocturne salmon
# sullen moth

Try checking where it is trying to download it, it might be that your ff14 is in a different location to where the game is checking for it, and if that is an unfixable issue and your c drive lacks the space, you could always try making a symbolic link in a c-drive folder to trick the installer into thinking the folder is in c-drive when its actually in d-drive

#

that might not be the issue but just one idea

#

sorry if I explained that poorly lol

sullen moth
#

how do I check it?

#

SE launcher is so hard to use

patent storm
#

Should I keep unique items? Even if they are low level and no more useful?

nocturne salmon
#

but you have it on steam while i dont so idk

#

just check where it is installing if you can and figure it out from there

#

i'd check what drive is filling up first, and if its c drive then it might be in program files x86 and if its d-drive it might be in your steam folder

sullen moth
#

its D drive

sullen moth
nocturne salmon
#

hmm so its trying to reinstall the full game in the same file location that it is already installed in?

sullen moth
#

I guess? I have no idea how to check the install location

#

I can let it download for a while

barren granite
#

does king moogle extreme give out a TT card ?

sullen moth
#

but as I said, right now I'm in my parents house and the internet is extremely slow

nocturne salmon
#

okay sorry im not sure then, I just was wondering if you had the same issue that I had but it seems not

sullen moth
#

it would take around 10 hours to download the game

#

really don't know what to do

nocturne salmon

#

oh and if I reinstall it, I will have to do all of my gearsets all over again right?

#

as it doesnt save this

leaden granite
#

is it possible to change the game into, for example, japanese voice, but keep the rest in english? with subtitles etc

sullen moth
#

fuck im so annoyed

leaden granite
#

the english synchro is killing me

wintry chasm
#

Audio option there

wintry chasm
#

And you can copy and paste

leaden granite
vital ruin
#

can i do the resistance remembers step as Blu?

#

for fate farm

#

or other dps

sullen moth
#

I also get this screen whel I log in using the aplication in the files

wintry chasm
#

You on free trial?

sullen moth
#

in the steam

#

no

#

I'm subscribing for over 60 days

#

it seems like it doesnt link it to steam

#

?

wintry chasm
#

Okay so that's the game from Steam

#

Steam and Non-Steam are two separate things

sullen moth
#

my sub is still valid, checked mog station

wintry chasm
#

If you got the Non-Steam version of the game you can't use Steam to launch the game

sullen moth
#

no you don't understand

#

ill try to explain better

#

I got a blue screen for some reason and when I restarted my PC, steam showed the game as uninstalled

#

so I redownloaded the launcher and now it wants me to download the full game all over again

#

even though the whole 53 gigabyte folder is still there

sullen moth
# sullen moth

when I tried to launch it using ffxivboot from the files and log in, this happens

#

and I have no idea what to do

wintry chasm
#

Uhh

#

I got two ideas

solid fog
#

real fast is e9-12s rewards unlocked and farmable ?

twilit arch
#

yes

wintry chasm
#

Just for the sake of absolutely making sure I'd like to see your Mogstation service account page

vague bison
#

hey! quick question about retainers: I have 2/3 retainers set to conjurer but they are locked at lvl 43 right now and Im not leveling up my whm right now. how does the retainer level affect the stuff they bring back? should I just reset them to another class?

wintry chasm
#

Level means less item level which means generally less good stuff from quick venture and lower level means no access to the higher level other ventures

sullen moth
#

you mean this?

wintry chasm
#

Yeah okay good good

#

You have no idea how many people genuinely don't realise they made a mistake somewhere which that clears up

vague bison
#

thx for the info

mossy delta
wintry chasm
#

So what I would do is make sure your gearsets and stuff are copied somewhere else and I would delete your FFXIV folder in "my documents" because IIRC that will reset the launcher to be as if you just opened it for the first time and then I'd just enter your log in details etc etc and see if it works them after launching from Steam

#

@sullen moth

wintry chasm
sullen moth
#

alright how do I copy my gearsets?

vague bison
#

conjurer

sullen moth
#

this is my documents folder

#

the CHARA files?

wintry chasm
#

Yeah the second one

#

That holds all your hotbar and gearset options etc etc

sullen moth
#

alright so I copy it?

#

and keep in a safe place

wintry chasm
#

When you can

#

Otherwise yeah if you don't wanna level up White Mage I'd swap to something else

wintry chasm
sullen moth
#

alright

#

I'll make a backup somewhere hold on

#

this folder yeah?

wintry chasm
#

I'd just copy everything in the folder and not the folder itself

vague bison
#

like which one? got dnc, rdm, sam, smn, blm. I got to start leveling them at lvl 1 then again?

sullen moth
#

oh ok

#

so like this?

wintry chasm
vague bison
#

do they bring back different stuff depending on job?

wintry chasm
# sullen moth

Yeah just those. I'm just not sure if when the folder gets remade the chara folder might be renamed to something else and I'd rather avoid some unforeseen problem

vague bison
#

nice, will do

wintry chasm
wintry chasm
sullen moth
#

alright done

#

so what now?

wintry chasm
#

I'd delete the entire FFXIV folder in my documents

#

Then launch game from your steam library

vague bison
#

oh ok. thx a lot!

sullen moth
#

in the documents?

#

alright

#

okay done

#

so now I just launch the game from steam

wintry chasm
#

And that should make the launcher open up as if you've never opened up before

sullen moth
#

that is correct

wintry chasm
#

And yeah uh

#

Let me know if a problem happens

sullen moth
wintry chasm
#

Just remember to click "I have an account" when it asks lol

#

A lot of people don't

sullen moth
#

it downloads the game from the beginning anyway

#

even if I have it downloaded

wintry chasm
#

It's doing that right now?

sullen moth
#

yes

#

countryside internet moment

wintry chasm
#

When you downloaded it before was that...via steam?

sullen moth
#

yes

empty goblet
#

where can i find the chat service costumer support?

sullen moth
wintry chasm
#

When you were on the free trial perhaps?

sullen moth
#

yes

#

I play the game on steam since couple months now

wintry chasm
#

Ah yeah that's probably it then

sullen moth
#

but just today it stopped recognizing its own files

wintry chasm
#

It's probably because of the change from free trial to actual sub

sullen moth
#

nonono

#

even yesterday everything was as it should be

#

but for some ungodly reason

#

my pc crashed today

#

not a big deal in itself, but steam stopped recognizing the game as downloaded

#

so I redownloaded the launcher

#

and now it wants to download the game again

wintry chasm
#

Okay okay

sullen moth
#

the whole 53 gigabytes

#

while I still have them on my computer

wintry chasm
#

Is it downloading into the same folder as the preexisting files?

sacred oracle
#

What spell i need for bluemage to leveling from 60 to 70 please im still spaming water ball

wintry chasm
#

Different drive?

sullen moth
#

no its D drive

wintry chasm
#

So it's the same drive?

sullen moth
#

yes

#

it was D before

#

it's D now

wintry chasm
#

And it's making a new folder in that drive?..

sullen moth
#

I blame SE for not making a good launcher tbh, this one lacks options

sullen moth
#

so far its just one folder

#

but it wants to download the same game twice

devout lichen
#

if you only need to be level 50 for samurai, does that mean you can play it in the free trial?

wintry chasm
#

What I'm saying is, is it making two XIV folders one new one old or is it trying to download the new files into the preexisting folder?

sullen moth
#

do I just bite the bullet, delete all ff14 files and download the game from scratch?

sullen moth
shell plank
#

hi i want to change job but i cant

devout lichen
#

ah, unfortunate

wintry chasm
#

Do your level 10 class quest @shell plank

#

Then you can

sullen moth
#

should I wait until more files download?

umbral dune
#

with the same logic, GNB and DNC are free which is hilarious

shell plank
wintry chasm
#

Yes

shell plank
#

oh ok

#

thx

wintry chasm
#

Never neglect those

#

Also just btw

shell plank
#

Yeah okay it IS level 1

sullen moth
#

so what should I do

gusty pier
#

Is there a way to use the 4k resolution UI without making it look like a mistake?

sullen moth
#

just download the game anyway?

gusty pier
#

Because if I do this is what happens:

wintry chasm
#

You'll need to keep doing those quests until you get to the level 10 one because you neglected to do the level 1 and 5 one lol @shell plank

solemn jewel
gusty pier
#

Yeah it seems I will have to do that xD

shell plank
#

oh ok

solemn jewel
#

u can move the hud pieces around

gusty pier
#

Yeah, seems like I need to do that to everything

wintry chasm
# sullen moth I have no idea how to check that

Surely you'd be able to just look into your Steam folder and see where this data is getting put to but yeah if you absolutely want I see 0 reason why just deleting EVERYTHING and then reinstalling wouldn't work

#

You'd have my respects though for that download time

sullen moth
#

its funny

shell plank
#

how do i check my job lvl

#

?

sullen moth
#

because steam redirects me to the 53 gigs folder

wintry chasm
#

At the bottom @shell plank

You're level 10

this one right

"ACN LV 10"

#

ACN being Arcanist

gusty pier
#

Is there a way to make this smaller? It doesnt show up on the HUD settings

sullen moth
#

last thing I do is I'll try to play with steam settings and if that doesnt work I'll just bite the bullet and redownload this bad boy

#

after I delete all ff14 steam file

#

s

wintry chasm
# sullen moth but right now I'm at my parents house and y know

Yeah I feel ya. I'm in the same boat and I hope this works out for you but I'm kinda out of ideas except that IF it's downloading into a separate folder maybe there is some way to get Steam and point at your preexisting game folder and go "no look it's here you idiot" but I'm not well versed in Steam settings

what does BA mean?

umbral dune
#

try this one, it works with both steam and stand alone

wintry chasm
#

It's a raid in Eureka

#

Baldesion Arsenal

sullen moth
#

I think its more of an issue with se launcher

solemn jewel
#

isnt there an option for steam to check the local files to repair them?

sullen moth
#

not steam

jagged holly
#

ty

regal pawn
#

Just go with the 3rd party launcher ratJAM

wintry chasm
#

3rd party launcher is nice and yeah actually that might work @sullen moth

#

Thanks people

#

I didn't think about that

sullen moth
#

I'll just ask for your help with the character thingy I backed up

#

so I get back my hotbars and such

umbral dune
#

the problem is not steam who directly run game, it refers back to SE launcher that check file not working
