if you don't have the game yet buy complete.
can you not decouple the hp and mp bars to be separate elements?
How much does ping matter in this game? Is this playable for the most part?
I have the game but am on free trial, looking to have access to all of the current expansions and was just wondering which edition would give me what I wanted, because I see multiple with the same price.
I guess it must be modded ui then
Buy Complete
I bought complete edition to get off free trial
it is everything rolled into one neat package, as i said
Okay, thank you everyone.
!faq buy
still an hour and a half till maint ends
maintanance done?
but, the message above you just said it
fuckin exactly 
You get used to it
i dont get the prefered buff if my character already exists right?
if your server got changed to a preferred world and you've already been playing on it for weeks, it doesn't change anything, right?
lol
same question
time to delete my character and start again lol
Should I expect some sort of sale on base FFXIV or the full version before Endwalker releases?
is the preferred world buf only up to level 70?
Where are you seeing this
are they gonna add anything relevant with this maint?
since it's taking quite long
yes
Am I blind or did this sale just start
It's not an updatr
cause I looked there before
Just behind the scenes server stuff
just started seems
Ty
halo guys i was planing on buy the game on steam cause i almost have every game there but i was curious if later on i can upgrade to the collector edition on mog station without problem? has anyone done that? 🙂 ty
yeah but can i do that even with the steam version?
yes
Doesn't matter which platform you own
all that matters is that you own the appropriate expac you want to buy the upgrade for
cause i know if i buy the game on steam i have to buy expansion only on steam
but on steam it doesnt seel the collector edition
the upgrade on mogstation is effectively flagging your acct.
ok rly rly thx... hope it works wihtout problems cause ive almost every game on steam nowadays.. ty ❤️
server is up
Sooooooo, previously in my free trial I would queue just fine. Now it's saying because I'm free trial I cannot queue on a full world
And then the application closes...
wait a bit
wtf
last maint i can get into after 10mins wait
there are two queues: a queue you get filtered through to enter the game because everyone doing it at once would kill, and a queue to connect to the server at all
yes, 2months ago
free trial cannot enter the latter
At what screen do I wait before entering, then
just wait
the character select?
Doesn’t matter
go do something else for a bit
it’s natural people just want to get on after maint so it’s crowded rn
Also seeing as you’re on aether you might see queues more often now since it’s no longer marked as congested
It worked fine now
Basically, if I can see my character I can log in. If not, restart client and try again and hope I fit
pretty much.
has mente ended ?
is there any reason to train your "Off team" in squads, or should I just ignore it, fire them after my main team reached max level and hire new ones?
uh.... what edition of FFXIV does my friend need to be able to play the game now up to shadowbringers?
he has this
yes, it's easier to replace the guys you didn't level with the new recruits, since they will be higher level from the start
What do you guys recommend, use my weekly deliveries for exp, or white scrips?
you can always diversify classes with the manuals
just don't dump the characters you like the chemistries of
well that's a question of what do you want most
why is buying this game so confusing???
Well my CUL is 76, getting him to 80 would be nice 🤔 guess I'll do that for now
Ur friend brought expacs for the expac u need the game
Is there any difference between delivery npcs? aside from their mini story
I still find it hilarious that there's a 500 word guide on how to buy the game when it basically comes down to "buy the game and buy the expansions"
wiki says that they provide different amounts of rewards, but i've not compared it
I see, well I only got two unlocked anyway 😅 thanks for the help!

Outdated info; all of the Delivery NPCs but the two in the firmament give the same yield
Ahh I see
Ehll Tou (I think) gives more than the others, and Charlemend gives more than Ehll Tou
Man I followed an outdated guide for CUL too and was so confused
What does the word at the end of some people’s usernames in the game mean? Usually has “<< >>” around the word.

Thank you, !
If it says Wanderer it means they're from another world from the server I think
where can I see when my character was created? or how long until the 90 days are up so I can transfer
the closest you can really do is see when you earned your first achievement on the lodestone at your character profile
which is usually completing 10 quests
!maint
ok, thanks
Mine, for example.
maintenance is over.
where can I see the latest update content sir
@_@
Oki ty for the info
does stone whisperer 5 have any effect on ARR mining node ?
is scaven BiS for bluemage?
isn't omega gear 405
hey what class got the carbuncle?
arcanist/summoner
Ill have a look, thanks
omega is i400
mix of scavean and omega savage gear
i just tried, it does work
if you want BiS
arcanist into scholar/summoner
Is there a sheet I can look at for what pieces?
and arcanist was in limsa lominsa?

first link is crit/det, second is sps/det
what's the deal with some gear having advanced melding forbidden? what's the reasoning?
overmelding is basically reserved for crafted gear to give them a slight advantage
hello i need help, i updated my phone and i lost my google authenticator, i cannot log in anymore. how can i recover this?
when you applied 2fa to your account, you were given an emergency password
use that here https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/coercioncan
if you didnt save it, then you need to contant support to remove 2fa from your acct.
or just log in to your google account on another device and install authenticator again

- Found the email now, but i need to log in for the emergency password and i didnt saved it before

got no way to access it again, i submitted a form and got the ticket number, thank you
where do you get the antique version of a weapon in eureka to craft the actual thing
are you binding to the right hotbar
can I just spam duties to level up jobs faster 
Why a
new question, how to check the status of my ticket?
whats the good armour to get asa 70 blu
scaevan
and how does one get? is half way through stormblood
if the slot is hidden by the 'hide empty slots' option, the hotkey for that slot will also be hidden. it will be briefly visible when you assign it.
you need to finish stormblood main story and see the credits
thank you ❤️ what would suffice till then
Buying with poetics in Kugane
But as said above, you gotta finish stormblood before being able to buy it
only available after the quest "Stormblood"
how do you hide your cursor again
I need help with this quest. Does anybody know how to get them? Google says I need to get a specific fish but I've speared almost a hundred fish and still no drop
I dont have much tank experience but how do i wall to wall as gunbreaker as in - which cooldowns should i use on trash? how many? 1 or 2 cds? should i use superbolide on trash too?
You cycle Cooldowns one by one
Tank invulns should be used on the biggest dungeon pull and you should tell your healer in advance when you plan to do so
so they dont stack?
I just wall to wall
They stack multiplicitely
They stack but it better to use one by one
What im trying to say, 1 cooldown is usually not enough unless gunbreaker is ujst not tankty
All tank is tanky
All tanks are equal tankiness
What gear do you have
And all tanks do the same Cooldown cycling
Do you have lvl 62 in lvl 68 dungeon
nah im poetics'd lvl 70
yep, highest level dungeon that's not level 50/60/70
Maybe im just ding something wrong
What dungeon you're doing
i dont remember right now, a lot of them were under 60
but i want to do lvl 72 shadowbringers dungeon with my gnb (so i get faster queue, MSQ)
and im just planning ahead
Mitigation : reprisal,arm length rampart nebula aurora heart of stone
Use these one by one
1 is enough for 2-3 packs?
you can gauge how hard things are hitting by how fast your hp goes down most the time
Yes
very fast
ah so nebula
You can sprinkle in Heart of stone whenever
Heart of stone have low cd so use that whenever
Light Cooldowns like Camouflage can be stacked with another
Spearfish Ichthyosaurs until you get notification about shadows forming and then keep going until a new node spawns
and aurora on cooldown?
Yes
i guess
The heal over timr is nice
we've mentioned arms length right
I use it while pulling to cover autos and generate aggro on trash I'm pulling
If the mob didnt die after you use all cd
That mean your dps pt is shiit
And it is better to pull small
Because pain

Also superbolide on pull
10/10
dps is shit just leave and cry about it 
Hello 🙂 why my xp bar is yellow and orange ?
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
It's this
so lets say you start a lvl 70 dungeon or something - what do you do? im asking not only for mitigation but in general cuz i have no tank experience - do you sprint and pick up whatever there is until you hit a wall?
its to test the waters no?
Or 3
Yes
See if your pt dps is good
See if your healer can dps+keep everyone alive
how do i know if its good, their dps i mean
if the people are running ahead assume they're confident and run till you hit a wall
okay
if ur cooldowns run out and theres still mobs around, somethings up
ah
yeah
havent had such a situation yet
what level are you
If you have vet like me as healer i will just rescue you to another pack of mob
72 but msq lvl 70
I see
from 70 onwards you might get people who actually want you to wall to wall content so don't be surprised
and i know there will be a dungeon in 1-2 levels which i wanna tank with
yeah i get it, i also want the tank to wall to wall when i queue as dps
lol
actually maybe i wont queue as tank then
I did all shb as drk
true
bruh
All you do is grab mob
no joke
turn boss north
Thats it
Face boss butt to dps
What about tank busters like how the hell do i know when a boss uses a tank baster
push aoe button
you learn that with experience
you'll notice your hp gets eaten the first time, over time you'll remember the name
cast bar never worked for me but yeah
when the whm puts a shield on u <3
most dungeon bosses tbs don't hit that hard so you'll live either way
I just like TBN breaks
so I memorised names
Ok dungeons is 1 thing, what about trials
trials easier
how do i know when do i MT or OT
Here another secret boss dungeon dont hit hard
whoever has stance on is normally MT
Same as trial
Arr and some hw content are weird there
Oh and uwu
tbh ARR and HW don't have busters in my memory 
nabriales maybe just hits hard a lot
but it's all weird there
Uwu TBs don't have cast bars
i did alexander (easy, it was a roulette) and some tank gave ma an advice? of some sort (it was alexander 4) that i should have swapped with the mt - how was i supposed to know that
Nabriales tb is triple
Punch + Mountain buster on titan
This ass hole ^^^
we're in #questions-and-help
maybe the other tank had debuff?
Guide or ask in pt chat
Still relevant
Alexander hits pretty hard
because slashing debuff
but nowadays if healers are awake
Another swap if you see vuln or debuff
it shouldn't be a problem
On other tank
aight ill take notice
there are barely any swaps in normal content tbh, but yeah just be intuitive if you think they'll die
It come with experience
since alexander savage is the only savage content ive done - how would you compare pepsi man a3s to uwu in terms of difficulty, bonus points if you express them in numbers
uh. UWU vs a3s?? wow
yeah i heard its nerfed
even at min ilvl there's been too many changes
You cant compare it anymore
also uwu's just uwu
assuming you're talking about the ultimate
it's considered the easiest of the ultimates now but it's still an ultimate
are you talking about uwu or tea?
thats what im trying to say
he wants a3s compared to uwu
current a3s of course
An ultimate is an ultimate. It'll kick your ass ten ways to Tuesday before you get out of phase 1
it's not really number comparable. Experience + time is what you need on an ultimate
Ultimate is die within 10 second of pull
general consensus for what you do here is finish msq, climb to extremes, experience in current savage
Savage is die 1 min after pull
and then ultimates maybe after
I got the morbol, but imho ultimate is waaay harder than a4s or a8s
but only if you're ready and have the time for it.
And I've only done ultima
Blech
the metric i've heard is that you basically need to be able to do extremes with ease, and comfortably do savage content.
Right now you should probably focus on finishing up msq if that's the plan
Just because people like rich got hard carried through ultimates(he still gitted gud but there was hard carrying involved all the same) doesn't mean they're accessible
This is literally the hardest content in the game
^
rich, while he did carry his own weight, played with 7 other extremely skilled players, one of which has done each of the ultimates hundreds of times.
It's shit you do in a schedule and set time aside for
or you uh, no life it for 40 hours straight but you might die
lol
Kind of thing
I know someone who finished up in like 38 hours or some shit but I think they were gamers
arent we all gamers
Gamers™
^ especially nowadays with echo
Even one day per week
where did you find your static? discord? ingame? irl friends?
I just use pf
it's hard to get a static that's good if you have nothing to show though.
Ffxiv recruitment reddit mostly
you're still in MSQ
Erc
do you need the quests active for Timeworn artifact/raw emotion to drop?
yes
Yes
fack
dear dear
Congratulations, you played yourself
Do i need to do eden savage to get my parses or whatever?
oh
In this game we dont have raid io or some shit
Some statics will ask to see your logs
To get a measure of how good you are
Especially for ultimates
^
55 day left
you're like 50 steps ahead of yourself even if you did a3s
i just wanted some hard content for a change
learn your job, try current EXs
Then you can think about it again before this christmast
also got a little burnt out from msq
that's fine
but yeah i probably wont do utlimates till after endwalker, i was just curio0us
yeah
I did it
No echo min ilvl
Sync is a joke btw
yeah
No echo min ilvl is the closest you can get
Find group for thordan ex min ilvl no echo
at this point, i feel like this is more discussion-y
Then you can experience abiy hard stuff
then let me ask a question

is healing fun
Subjective
i like dpsing but not casting stone 79 all the time
Then probably no
tanks have dps rotatons, why cant healers have some
wouldnt that just resolve the entire problem with helaers
That's straying into discussion again
just change channels, no issue
it's unlocked
they're only locked from when they release to the next raid tier

WHAT DOES CROSS HOT BAR & SHARE HOT BAR MEANS?
anyway to stick on my current hot bar key during class change?
for one, caps. two cross hot bar is for controller users
shared hotbars are hotbars that you want to be the same across all jobs
Oh for PC user no need care about cross hot bar right?
so when class change I have to assign the hot bar Key & position again am I right?
keybinds stay the same
shared = for all class, not-shared = unique per class
i'm coming back after like a year away, are all my toolbars and hotkeys gonna be intact?
cool
How about cross Hotbar
same thing, but for controller users
whats the best way to use the commercial engineering manuals btw?
i wanna level weaver
does it just boost the XP u get from crafting or crafter EXP in general?
hey everyone, what's the best stat for MNK class?
Exp from completing crafts
physical DPS so strength
So it doesn't work on quest or leve exp
pain
Monk gears should naturally give Strength
is there like a specific way to use it?
sorry let me clarify: best materia for MNK
@onyx oak thanks
np
Crit always beat direct hit at higher level
Crit stat improves chance to deal critical hits, and how much bonus damage said critical hits will do
Direct hit stat improves the chance to do 25 percent more damage
more accurately; crit generally beats Direct hit at higher stat totals
(while not applicable to monk, healing spells can't direct hit, they can only crit)
early on in an expansion, direct hit is just as good or slightly better than crit assuming no class synergies with one of the two stats
like MNK's chakras
some equipment meld will have crit stat at maximum. Thanks for everyone's replies
Crit, direct hit, determination is the priority
Cheers
So what's a reasonable price to pay for HQ coffee biscuits on average?
use universalis.app and check prices across all your datacenter servers
What should I spend my yellow crafter scrips on if I don't have anything I want at the moment? I'm capping continuously because of collectables
i've done castrum meridianum about 7 times as a tank and not a single time the other tank has challenged me to actually tank the boss, was wondering what's the usual etiquette/way to decide who's the maintank is in piss easy content?
Whatever sells for the most Gil/scrip
Whoever stances first
When it comes to something as piss easy as castrum, I'm generally happy to let the other guy do the work if they volunteer
is there any way to preview dye multiple pieces at once
you can preview the same color for all pieces, there's a button
Uhmm, custom deliveries for crafter is best done from which level range?
They're good to do every week once you've unlocked them regardless of your level
They're easily the most efficient scrips/effort
Oh okay, they don't suffer any penalty lost after lv 70ish right?
not quiet what I want but that works too, thanks
I mean, the exp table above 70 is much higher so I thought the exp reward after that is not great
I see, I'll do just that then. Thanks~
that's intentional since it's the current expansion
i noticed that there is a lot of systems that make leveling slower in current expansion, they're probably rebalanced when a new one comes out
You can double check the shb custom deliveries targets (kaishirr and the two in the firmament) but I'm pretty sure they're all going to be equal exp
wayne said earlier that the last two custom deliveries give more stuff
the firmament ones
They give more scrips
Well specifically the old man whose name I forgot does
But idk about exp
Yeah, like doing dwarves beast tribe quest only good for early 70ish and got less exp after 74++
yes beast tribe quests are hard locked to expansion levels
moogle crafting quests go to like 10k xp a quest after you outlevel them, which is like, nothing at that level
That's not what he's getting at though
ah yea
yeah, that's worth to check later
do you have to dye an armoire item first then put it in the armoire?
i think you dye items in the glamour plate if you want to reuse that dye
I stop doing firmament after 58, they gib less and less exp after 50 lol
At the end of the day, it's just a bigger grind 71-80
well that's unfortunate, thanks
For every class, not just doh, even
I think there's large scale crystarium leves if you're in a rush to hit 80
If anything, charlemend might have better rewards. However, you should still 5* everyone eventually because bonus unlocks at 5*

I maxed all gatherer, what's left are the last 4 crafters. I finished most of the crystarium deliveries as well so yeah, I'm looking for exp booster for some crafters that's hard to grind the materials like leatherworker
Uh yeah, I need to work on my combat retainer, she's still stuck at lv 40 lol
Ah
Then yeah, if you're looking to rapidly hit 80 take a look at the crystarium leves
Welp
Okay, that's going to cost a lot then 😂
Im stuck at the samurai “Blood on the deck” mission
The samurai at the end is a pain
Any tips?
That solo duty is VERY overtuned compared to most
You practically need full Augmented Ironworks or better
Or use the difficulty option and set it to Easy or Very Easy
Have full tomestone gear and if you still fail, set it to Very Easy.
The fight demands frequent usage of Third Eye and Merciful Eyes, along with Second Wind and Bloodbath
The only way to clear it normally is to do everything perfectly
You can't miss the timing for any of your cds.
Or fail to dodge any attacks.
I dont have merciful eye yet, im lv54 with the SAM
Oh yeah that’s the quest that unlocks it, right?
You still want to use Third Eye whenever it’s up
Isn't Merciful Eyes at like, level 58 or something?
Yh
!action merciful eyes
how to make the "Quick Synthesis" absolutely craft the HQ of what I can one step finish with delicate synthesis? I dont know if the mechanism could do this
You can’t. It’s RNG based on your gear
Wow, I actually remembered a level right.
The chance of quick synth making HQ is around 20% at best
If you need HQ, you want to make it yourself and not use quick synth
I need to craft a lot of HQ ether
anyone else having any issues playing the game? I'm like constantly dc-ing/lagging
Best you can do is a trained eye macro
any website that explains this?
Do you have trained eye?
!action Trained Eye
This thing
Literally just
/ac "Trained Eye" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
Repeat the synthesis line if need more progress
Ahem, another question. I heard that you can make any gear that is usually undyeable becomes...dyeable?
I got a chocobo Covering Permission and it says in blue some stars and in red some stars. Are those the parents stats or are those the stats that its child will have?
"Pedigree" is the title
Im wanting to get the morbol mount as blu as mines nearly 70...
what do i do about different classes sharing th same gear materia wise?
like drk and pld dont use the same materia but idk how i would properly equip materia to classes? sorry for poor wording im lost
can you buy collectors edition upgrade on the mog station with a steam version of the game?
yes
how long does it takes to remove otp on support ?
not every, but a lot of undyeable gear has a dyeable equivalent
when it comes to combat gear, there's often similar, dyeable gear that comes from more difficult content
ie normal raid gear can't be dyed savage can
or in the case of 80 af dyeable versions drop from an ex
oooh! I see I see! At this point I just want a good-looking matching gear XD
Sad to hear not every gear is dyeable tho 😭
Tome gear can't be dyed, but the augmented versions can
http://garlandtools.org/db/ search something on this website and it will show you items which use the same appearance as it (Shared Models)
it's not perfect, sometimes it thinks items that reuse partial assets are the same, but if there is a dyeable version that's how you might find it
be aware that it might end up showing you a variant of the item that isn't usable by your job
Ooh cool! I'll give it a try~ Thanks!
Is there any easy way to setup so I can switch between kb+m and controller if I say wanna lay in bed and play?
is roulette daily completion based on when you start it, or when you end it?
as in, if I start roulette, and then reset happens while I'm still in it, does it eat up the daily completion for the new day, or the former day only?
when you end

whats the best potion for free trail player attempting potd solo
iirc aren't the potions from potd the only ones worth mentioning
or do you mean something different
the sustaining potions are the only thing you need
oh, so no need super potion ?
Hovering over a UI element and doing Shift + Home I believe is the command for resizing a UI component int he UI editor
Super pot is from sb you can't get it
you can't scale chat iirc
You can get max pots but for obvious reasons they're worse
do I need them or sustaining potion is enough
they help so keep them on your hotbar
They're on separate cooldowns so both is better but sustaining potions are waaaaaaay better than either other pot
i started playing the trial version through the launcher and i want to know if i can use the same character if i buy the game in steam, or if i have to restart from the beginning.
thanks
Hello everyone, i need your help. I'm trying to launch the game but this error shows up. Any clues on what to do?
How rare are the weekly hunt mob spawn rates? Cuz I hardly see the mobs I need for my weekly hunt marks
They respawn in 5 seconds
B-ranks respawn 5s after the last death
Oh nvm it just spawned right next to me lol
There's alot of spawn locations for a single b rank
so as a new player...should i do side quests or just focus on msq? I do love a good story and i've been told the story in ffxiv is pretty great...would i really miss out on anything if i don't do the non-blue side quests?

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
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.

Thank you all
It's a final fantasy game first, mmo second including a very slow start.

since it's savage difficulty
are there any good returning player things i should look at?

Nothings really changed since october
whats the party finder?

well i'm here for the story...i can catch up with world building later i guess
not gonna mess around with the bozjan front of whatever
You'll get most of it with msq, like I said slow start
Close
71 - 80

ye thats good
left ast at 74 when i left
and want to get it to 80 asap
roulettes still good?
its how you find people to do specific types of content outside the duty finder
no big changes on those i hope
!faq partyfinder
slow start is fine by me...in fact i prefer it as it helps me learn the game better
Levelling, main story an alliance for exp the redt are very little
what's the best way to get the Odin armor? (Herklaedi)
A lot don't get through arr as it's rough, was rushed and slow. Cliche is it gets better but it will get sooo much better
ill just do leveling and bozjan
main story dont like
its 30-45 mins no matter what
alliance i might do to get the hang of healing again
ye but i dont have much time to play anymore
so i dont wanna spend that long in just 1 roulette
leveling is like 20 mins
alliance around that too
main story is like double that
unskippable stuff
i've been wanting to play this game for a while now...and now that i'm playing it i'm not gonna drop it till i've finished it....so that's prolly a long long time xD
im at 2k hours here
still not done with everything
Each expansion adds about an entire jrpgs worth of content. Hope you're ready for a long run
kind of unfortunate tbh
for me at least it completely ruined msq
i just wanted to get it over with
It was trimmed in 5.3
and never really cared for story after how dreadful arr was
so i just skip through msq as its just annoying content at this point
And more changes are expected with arr. They hinted at changing the ending and Cape westwind
i've played swtor for 8 years now...with the occasional breaks in between....i believe my journey in ffxiv will be similar 🙂
Well we hope you enjoy it
honestly...i'm actually already enjoying it...just level 16 Archer right now...its a good change of environment in this game...and the anticipation with what the story has to showcase i'm just taking it all in at a good pace
do I need to have autoattack on my hotbar for controller setup?
not at all
cool
1.0 ptsd intensifies
Lol no
Swtor is sick I prefer ff14 over it though you'll like it
Can I make it look better? Already got everything on high...
does someone know how to get obscure logograms? only got two from random drops so far
That's about as good as you're going to get, then.
If you've got the graphics settings as high as they'll go, the only thing holding it back is the baseline quality of the game and/or your screen resolution.
Some things in the game are just crunchy tbh
They would need to replace the model entirely in most cases
Keep in mind, the graphics themselves have some limitations based on the least advanced system it could run on for each given expansion.
Not without mods, that's ps3 content
So things that are older are limited to PS3 quality.
Hell a lot of arr sets were imported from 1.0
I understand now, thank you guys
Tbf, you're zoomed waaaaay in
iirc the best way is a group chaining shit that spawns the high nms in hydatos
how can I join a fate/train LS?
shout in limsa, or try working from a fate/train discord
tried it, thats where i had the 2 drops from 😛 and we had several chains
they come from a few nm too, iirc
huh never dropped for me though
So this is my first time trying a tank, and it's Gunbreaker. Thing is, it's quite overwhelming to get 21839712 abilities at once. Any quick guides that aren't 40 pages long to just get started with it and get a feel?
Easy answer: not really, go play a lower level tank so you can learn how they work from there
do i need to buy the token at squareenix to be able to play the TRIAL part? sorry im new :3
Long answer: weskalber guide video that's still close to an hour
Guess I'll go that route then
read the tooltip one by one
Oh yeah, removing and adding back is quite a smart move lol, I didn't think about that!
That goes for any expansion job
you leave the otp space blank if you don't have one. You don't need one at all, but especially not on trial
First time for me hence the issue. Only have DRG WHM and BLU leveled...
Thank you guys, I'll start with the remove/add first by myself and try things out that way. If that doesn't help, I'll check that video or simply try a low level tank. 🙂
Smack a dummy while doing so so you get used to using it
how hard is penta melding ?
Does dungeon that's not from roulette still give more exp than squadron even though it's the same dungeon? Or it's the same amount of exp, just faster?
This as a Tank or Healer by the way.
There are no job quests at lv 70+?
It's role quests
Very rng

So they combined all DoW/DoM job quests into role quests?
What about DoL/DoH? None left?
They have facets of [X]
facets?
Veterans, what's the endgame?
Raids, crafting, relics, achievements, ultimates, farming, gardening, social stuff
what's relics and ultimates?
Relics are grindy quest chain for shiny weapons
Ultimates are the HARDEST content in the game
You can not cheese Ultimates in any way, shape, or form. You will do the fight how it was meant to be done
hard in what sense? do they require great gear, skills, teamwork?
1 mistake wipes you
They're harder than Savage, which is THE high end raid difficulty
eh, you can afford a few mistakes these days
For Ucob and uwu depending where you die
uwu?
One of the ultimates
There are 3 ultimates

Ultima Weapon ultimate
if I could make a suggestion on hotbar design for gnb:
Unending coils of bahamut (ucob)
Shoot mate
Ultimate weapons refrain(ultimate) aka uwu
find your basic 3 button combo, put them together
And
The epic of Alexander tea
put burst strike close to that
find your cartridge combo (all abilities gained at 60 in your skill list) put them together
put continuation near that (your 70 ability)
Ultimates are on average 18 mins long (which is 6-8 mins longer than savage fights), very little breaks, no checkpoints in a 5 phase fight and the definition of mechanical vomit
what weapon should i go for, tomestone or raid for WAR, DRK, DRG?
find your aoe combo (two buttons) put fated circle and bow shock near it
put sonic break and no mercy close by, they're always used alongside each other (I'd also put bloodfest in this group, even though it's not quite the same)
(except like ultra rare healer cases cause shitty piety)
(because they're both effectively a 60s cd)
lastly you have 6 self defense cooldowns and 3 you can apply for others, it's good to group them accordingly
provoke/shirk/rough divide/lightning shot is another 4 group I use, then you just need to find a space for low blow and royal guard can be pretty much anywhere because it ain't pushed much
basically I think it's intimidating to have that many abilities thrown at you, so you need to mentally group them by their function
I don't even remember the names for half the abilities half the time, I just know "basic combo" and "continuation combo"
I think I might've forgotten blasting zone, but I imagine you'd figure that out
Once I max out the hearts for someone regarding Custom Deliveries and do the last quest (In this case Ehll Tou) and I got the mount, there's nothing more to do right? Unless I want scrips that is ofc. I can move on to the next custom delivery person?
I did some googling but i thought the better answer would come from people directly.
I play on PC but i have a PS4 and want to play FFXIV on Ps4. Im using a trial account. Am i able to link my ps4 to my PC Account? For a trial edition????
i already tried but i got a licensing error. Like this account is already registered to this license or something
You can only play the trial on one platform per account
When you buy the game you can play on both, but not before then
So if i decide to buy the standard edition for my PC and Ps4 how do i link it? Its just automatic when i put the account in?
Yeah just buy it for both platforms and log into the same account
do the lvl 70 DNC/GNB quests reward an armor set of any sort?
no
ty, figured as much, but I remembered SAM/RDM got a low-effort set when they hit 60 so wasn't sure
where i can find delubrum reginae light and chaos discord server speed runs
they got unaug shire or something didn't they
no
For light
hmm, I remember SAM had a dinky little black kimono set, and RDM had what looked like a boy scout version of an RDM outfit
Starting gear
ah, fair enough.
dhit > crit for sps blm, right?
@shut panther I'm gonna look at your advice, just copypasting it to not lose track of it, thanks!
Ahh sounds good. I want to take advantage of the trial but i want to play on both PC and PS4 so if i buy it and my one month expired am i still able to take advantage of the trial like the base game and first expansion? or am i just game locked. Anddddd if i just buy it on Ps4 and continue the trial on PC is that fine?
Once you buy the game you have to subscribe to play at all
And if you buy it on PS4 using the same account, that trial will be over
What's wrong with pvp that it's so unpopular
If you make a new account, you'll no longer be able to use that trial account on ps4 either
Nothing is really wrong with it, it just gets less attention and then people give it shit which makes people repeat it and it snowballs
It could be better but it could also be much worse
IMO, incredibly unresponsive compared to the leading mmo pvp brand™, poor competition enforcement (ie rampant win trading and lack of ability to catch up after the beginning of a season) and just generally not terribly interesting
Oh thats unfortunate
Like I said, there's nothing really wrong with it
so i should wait until i take full advantage of the trial before i buy the game
That would be the most efficient way to go about it yeah
Hey! My sister and I just did world transfer from Famfrit to Siren (finally opened!). It's been about two hours, and Mog Station shows that they are still on Famfrit. How long does this process usually take? And if there was no open space despite it advertising it, what happens to the transfer? Do they just keep the money and call it a failure, stranding me on Famfrit?
Is direct hit rate pretty much crits but in exchange for less damage it happens more frequently?
Mini crits basically
Always do 25% more damage and rate is increased by your dh stat
Mm
I know there's obviously some builds that would use them, but why would you use dhr over crit?
When you physically can't meld more crit
crit is worse than DH at low stat levels
Or dony have enough crit to justify melding crit
Early expansion time DH is superior
Then crit takes over later
and I'm not even sure if it's dh > crit for sps blm
blue 60 to 70 still as easy as 1 to 60?
go around with a level 80 and get them to kill everything?
i just unlock Eureka and see i have to kill stuffs mainly is WAR (my current class) good for this or just DPS?
Which stats should I put for DRK Anima relic? Never bothered with stats so idk what is good for tank
Any is fine, as long as you do it with a group
Your elemental level matters too
and without a group it's not that fine?
It doesn't matter because you aren't gonna use it anyway, it's just for glam at this point
It'll take longer for the mobs to die sincw you're the only one putting out damage
but solo is good too
Up to you
it is definitely better to group in eureka if you can
I prefer partying up though
i see thx
you get much faster experience because you can make longer chains
yeah

As a Tank or Healer. If your squadron has 60% damage boost than would that make it better than doing dungeon, or dungeon since queue isn't long anyway and the players know what they are doing unlike AI?
Which one? Squadron or Dungeon? As a Tank or Healer.
Still dg cus squadron so dumb
Plus there is huge level gap between 32 and 41
Healer can do squadron in a much smoother and less punishing
in the diadem, should I bother with the 'grade 2' items?
You are fully control whether you live or dead plus the damage buff for AI make them outdamage you
No unless you want to chase those achievements
Those are old expert receipe items
By better? Does that equal to more exp per hour too?
where can you get a tonberry minion?
Timeworn Boarskin Map
You can also buy it on the mb for about 150k
Wind-up Tonberry
not gonna bother farming it then, thx
Hi, anyone knows how to use "Hive Forewing"? I know it can make the Hive weapon glow but I don't know how to make it.
how do I get the recipe
Master recipes for scrips
The master receipe book via scrips
okey, how do I unlock those
yellow scrips
!faq scripunlock
isghard i think?
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
i have a crafter at 60 but never met them
Follow the chain above
i will try, thank you
how am I suppose to use flare on lvl 60 blk mage
watch the weskalber guide for the leveling rotation as well
!faq blmleveling
when in doubt
if you want a visual
chart
I want to upgrade my SMN gear from Exarchic to Cryptlurker. But I see all of the accessories have SS. Just stick to Exarchic or good to change?
so flare is useless in free trial ?
Cryptlurker is better cause it goes to 530
Is Scholar bad? I heard some people wishing Scholar to become better, maybe even a rework like AST, and Summoner is getting, but Scholar barely got any changes for Endwalker so I heard.
I see, ok thanks
Well ok. That's good :3
People are memeing it now cause it's new skills aren't flashy
Oh it's cause it's not flashy enough? Not cause it's bad? Lol XD
Oh wow, lol XD
What's that new skill? Lol XD
They only showed a single target buff and a Speed +mitigation buff
I see :3
Ontop of Broil 4 and Art of war 2
I see, lol XD
does your average ping change if you visit different worlds
No cause all servers in the data centre are in the same location
ah
All data centres of that region are in the same place
EU is all in Germany
NA in Cali, JP in Tokyo
Why do some materia sell for more gil on the MB when they are lower level versions of other materia? For example Savage Might 6 sells for more than Savage Might 7
and what am I supposed to do with Materia that aren't worth anything?
some materia no longer availble to make bec they give useles seffects
they cost more bec they are rare now
altho nnone uses them
6 has more stats than 7s and blue mage uses it
And overmelding is completely irrelevant now
So 7s have no real use
so just vend it?
Need help! Last time when I was buying Game time cards over at the european Square enix store, there was a product FINAL FANTASY XIV - 60 DAYS GAME TIME CARD [PC], now there's only FINAL FANTASY XIV - 60 DAYS GAME TIME CARD [OTHER] "other"
does the "other" work for all platforms
Is there a chat command to copy my bars from PUG->MNK now that I've unlocked it?
Yes, but I can’t remember what it is
thanks!
question
what would bethe most beneficial to do currently? continue MSQ or start a different job ?
just finished HW
That’s up to you
i see
Anybody else getting little graphical stutters every few minutes? Started the last few days? 
I swapped my monitor from an LG 144Hz to the newer LG 165Hz last week, and installed the newest Nvidia drivers. Other than that my system hasn't changed. FFXIV is the only game giving me these stutters 😦
Hi im new and in ps5 i can get the game for free with the ps5 upgrade edition is this true or not
