I ran into something earlier and wondered if anyone can help solve it...I was doing Binding Coils with an fc mate who wanted to clear it before getting to Stormblood. We did the first five unsynced with one other person, then unlocked the next four. But when we tried to do them, it said they didn't meet the item level requirement...but their gear was IL 240 and higher. We were really puzzled and I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered this and knows what the cause could be and how to fix it.

So is Leatherworker the most user Job for Desynthing gear?
Cause it sure seems like it is
Hello lads! There's one thing I don't really understand. FF XIV is the first (not counting PS1 one) FF I am playing. It has like 4 expansions. After that I will have to buy FF XV or how it's gonna be?
no, all ff games are their own entities
Lol no, FFXV is a single player game
FF14 is its own game
No, each FF game is stand alone, unless it's specifically noted to have sequels like FFX-2 or the FF13 series
the only continuation of ffxiv is more expansions
I'm gonna spoiler this just in case, and I request anyone replying to me do the same, but ||where the hell even IS Ala Mhigo? Multiple people make reference to it through ARR and as I'm approaching Stormblood there's a questline of people mentioning it. But I have absolutely no clue where the hell it even is XD I thought it was nearby Little Ala Mhigo like in the Sunken Ruins or something but they talk about it like it's both nearby and ages away||
||To the right of gridania||
Little ala mhigo is a refugee settlement
So I recently got an apartmentt, and found outt that I relog outside when I log out inside my apartment
does this happen to personal housing aswell?
yes
||Goddamn they travelled ages then, thanks! I was VERY confused to where the hell they were talking about||
what should i spend my revelations on if i dont need cryptlurker gear anymore
Yes
that's all you can spend it on.
weekly capped tomes are only for gear so.. more gear
goldsmith sees a lot of use from accessories dropped in dungeons
and blacksmith is great for desynthing most extreme trial weapons
same for goldsmith too
rip
when to do the hildibrand missions /
?
whenever, really
Oh
they have basically no connection/references to the story as a whole and are very unique/comedic
Yeah, I just wanna experience something funny in this game
Example of some humor you might find in it 😄
Is this pet any rare?
Nah
It always drops from the last boss of World of Darkness, the third 24-man raid for A Realm Reborn content
A 24 man that many people get when doing roulettes
So getting it first try must be luck then
Thanks, its a nice pet anyways, it sists on your shoulder

Does it matter if I equip my battle venture guy with better gear?
Yes
ok ty
For the quest rearmed (Alexander raid) how do you cross the lake?
Fly, and if you can’t fly WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING
My brain dead how do you find the hints again for the aether
can i search for a specific fc? if so, how?
!faq communityfinder
thanks a ton mate
thanks. but didnt help me much. i know the name/language, but it tells me "0 results. Your search yielded no results." so what am i doing wrong?
So is DRK's Plunge better used as a gap closer than opener?
look at the data center and world first, not the search bar
it's used in the opener during burst
huh? im not sure i understand what you mean? i started for 3 days ago
Burst?
yep and im there as well. i know the data center, world server, name and language. but nope. doesnt help either
whats the fc's name that you're looking for
a danish (native language in denmark) one. but the facebook prefers the name not to be told everywhere. and i respect ther wish 🙂
well then its likely they dont have a posting on the community finder
funny... because that pinned post in the group is last updated 4 days ago
also to better clarify yes it is a gap closer, it's just that gap closers are often used as extra DPS at the beginning of fights
I guess a better question is when to pull using Unmend and when to pull with Plunge
pretty much always unmend
do all this drop mount https://i.imgur.com/4kShdFB.png
since it has like a x100 aggro bonus
the ballad doesn't have a mount
Not the first two
and neither does thornmarch
help, i just upgrade from free trial to completed edition, where can i download the game ?
You already have the full game if you upgraded from free trial
so i just start the game from the free trial launcher ?
unmend has a x5 bonus enmity applied to its damage
I see, thank you very much
I guess Plunge is better used on bosses and Unmend for trash mobs?
but since you're in tank stance, which is a x10 bonus already, i believe that makes unmend x50 compared to if a dps job would do the same amount of damage
Don't pull using plunge

^
And you'll hate yourself as well when it fucks your gcd alignment
And loses you gcds in a fight
plunge is for A) dungeons B) certain boss-specific phases/mechanics C) damage if neither apply
Xeno talks about plunge pulling in his DRK video
how do u check which custom delivery is in demand
go to timers
Duty > timers
you can check all unlocked deliveries there
Ctrl U
I've only done dungeons as I level up my DRK so I have 0 experience with tanking on trials and raids
i don't see any on zhloe
they're not guaranteed to spawn
(also you need to five star them first)
They're spread throughout all the deliveries
oh 5 star
Thanks for the tips, this'll help me out a lot
so 4 custom delivery fight for the in demand slot ?
There's like 7 of them
does the in demand refresh ech day ?
each week
7 clients
sad that HW only have 1
Well...
Uh
there are more custom deliveries in idyllshire but yes they need stormblood and higher level
Does anyone have a good controller layout for DRK?
Btw do firmament quests
I play PC but prefer using controller
why do the niddhog's scale get surprisingly reduced to 10k gil below 😮
!faq drkbars
Sample DRK Hotbars
Keyboard & Mouse
Athunin
Julie
Lynx Kameli
Silaqui
Valor
12-button MMO mouse
Bongo
Core
Torael
Note that these may not work for you exactly as shown --- hotbar setups are largely based on personal preference. You may find it useful to look at what abilities are easy to reach --- often it is best to put commonly-used abilities on easy-to-reach keys.
how come if you log out in the firmament you get spawned outside it when you log in
its an instance
^ and reduces congestion In it
Cause that was a major problem
When updates happened to it
whats the drop rate for mounts
depends on the mount
but generally speaking for ex's low
some people spitball 15%?
yea im doing the lvl50 extremes
there's no way to confirm since it's all server-side data
If it ain’t 100%, we don’t got the numbers
there is a way to confirm it by way of extensive sampling, sort of what wowhead does, but i haven't seen anybody do this for ffxiv
are there any game-changing blu skills (like atherial mimicry) on the 60-70 track?
yeah prolly, but with the TOS against mods and stuff like that people are more hesistant
basic instinct
basic instinct is like lvl 30
but it is new
yes, that then
ultravibration is easier to get
Choco meteor is good for the field
there's also a good number of essential dps spells
you're not implying ultravib and basic instinct serve the same purpose, surely...
i didn't realize basic instinct is a recent addition, i wouldn't be able to get a bunch of dungeon spells without it
makes soloing stuff very possible
hydropull, cold fog, night bloom, phantom flurry, ultravibration are good stuff in that range
im just thinkin of stuff between 61 and 69
i absolutely do
Phantom Flurry, Nightbloom, Tingle and Triple Trident, and Ultravibration are what you're expected to have to do blu dps in content
that’s why i leveled to 70
is Launcher a good spell? I got it recently and was kinda disappointed by it, you dump all your mana and it doesn't even kill stuff most of the time
launcher is aoe missile sort of
You do know how percentage based damage works
not real useful
It literally can’t kill
but then just get them all cause you want matra magic too >.>
except all bosses that are immune to death effects are also immune to launcher
Launcher is meant for trash mobs anyway
Percentage based
i thought it was max hp%
looks at death and ultravibration and stuff
low chance for death to work afaik
You have better options
and ultravib only works on frozen targets
it's very simple to freeze stuff though
unless the target is immune to it of course
It's one of the spell that can solo that annoying turtle boss in dusk vigil
or was it stone vigil hard
cause you don't have to ride the cannon and can just launcher him
Stone vigil hard
so when people say that BLU break the game, what spells do they mean? ultravibration and doom?
destination for a FATE target
I never seen this before
All of them
because thats where a fate ends
ultrabivration, ram voice
and it hasn't reached that destination yet
it's not used before stormblood
and basically the 1 shot combo, basic instinct, moon flute, final sting, etc
Being able to have full kit at any level
It's essentially a mobile FATE
Night bloom and its strong dot
is there a number % chance to hit for Doom and its ilk?
Low
that's not a number
wow basic instinct is insane
whats the best floor to run in potd with level 58 char?
51-60
too low xp for me, like 1/3rd per run? is this okay?
yeah
That's the best you'll get
thats potd
You spam it
i see, okay thanks

is there a option to autoskip dungeon scenes
yes
how
ty
Yes
Unobtainable
abandoned content
Just large future proofing
Hi, which is better to meld into my gear as a carpenter, CP or craftmenship? im not sure which is more important
im pretty new in potd, what tip can you give me, i would to acquire those red and white weapons
Get Aetherpool, that’s it
not abandoned
The ranks have been there since the release of the game, and are lore/immersions
its contantly lower my gear level,once i cant q for 51-60 floor when i forge one
that said, they don't want to mindlessly add new ranks without having something else to come with said rank
Then don’t forge grips immediately, genius
i see
so, described in one word, abandoned
it received an update in 4.4
No
which while it was almost 2 yrs ago, it hasn't been abadoned
Put on hiatus
it you wanna talk about abandoned, the hunting log is fucking abandoned
guildhests are abandoned
Hard mode dungeons are abandoned
That 2nd rival wings stage, astralogos or whatever it’s called
scholar is abandoned
The other feast arena..
They’ll wait for you
Keep, they are freeze though
well
"mainsub" refers to the /r/ffxiv main sub
"mainsub bait" is a term used by the /r/shitpostxiv sub
a sub that commonly makes fun of the (admittedly asinine) posts on the mainsub
one example is when everyone was flocking to ffxiv from wow
new player here, are guildhests groups you join or did I misread what it was telling me
mainsub had tons of posts of "hi i'm a wow veteran"
and if they are groups is it worth joining them
and so shitpostxiv had posts joking about it
Guildhests are fake tutorials
@midnight moss guildhests are essentially tutorials for group play
oh i see
anyone else had problems moving the game from one steam directory to another?
Free companies are actual player guilds
it keeps trying to install a fresh copy instead of using the 54gb folder i already have
did you change the directory properly in steam settings
or use the "find existing installation" feature
i've created the directory on my ssd through steam's options if that's what you mean
am i missing something or did they MASSIVELY nerf A relic reborn: Chimera trial? it barely did anything and keeled over
not sure where the find existing installation option is though
no
just natural nerf of time
doesn't have an ilvl sync on it which hurts it even more
i just googled this
ffxiv only downloads the launcher through steam though, which is 50mb
i don't think it checks the actual game files
that came out wrong
the ffxiv launcher installs the game and steam only downloads the launcher
i'll try some wacky stuff, see if it works
can i upgrade to collector edition eventhough my sub have expired?
how much time it takes to get an emote from mogsation
usually ~15 minutes but up to 24h, depends on shop server congestion
i need to complete Dressed to Deceive. but i did not get any of the Weathered Sheperd's Tunic and Weathered Sheperd's Slops from Isembard. so how/where do i get them?
should I be running duties with npcs or regular people in Shadowbringers? I noticed loot is pretty bad if you run it with npcs
24h
ok..
thankks
......
is that the low level quest i'm thinking of? check your armory
not your inventory
there's less loot but it's all guaranteed to go to you
okay so I'm resistance rank cap
how do i get honors/ those extra buffs
yes its the low level. and i have nothing in my armory as well
and do i have to beat dalriada to unlock final relic step
that is true aye
Do Dalriada and turn in the quest, then a new blue quest in Zadnor will unlock yhrm
o
Unlocking Zadnor unlocked all relic steps
Depends if people bother to use essenses
well if all else fails, i'm pretty sure those items are purchaseable from an NPC
Idk how good JP is with using essenses or not
they're meh
Just abandon and restart the quest
yeah maybe and no. nothing to be found in ul'dah. and ive been to all shops there :/ plus since its a quest item i cant rebuy it from the Calamity Salvager, and nothing at the Marketboard as well :/
which raid ends the fastest among the hw sb and sbh raids?
just cos CEs don't appear that often
yeah i would if i knew how to abandon a quest...
J
just go to your quest log and select the quest
Abandon
and click the "abandon" button at the bottom
Anyone willing to do a fixed party with me for potd to floor 100?
the only two sources of yellow gatherer scrips are collectable turn-ins and weekly custom deliveries, right?
i cant find that "Abandon" button at the bottom?
look to the right
go to the quest info on the right
and theres nothing as well...
oh also you can't abandon mainquest
then what should i do to get them clothes that i dont have in my armory?
you should have received them in the previous quest
You absolutely sure they aren’t there?
are you sure it's not in your inventory lol
double check with /isearch shepherd's
i googled it and everything says the NPC just gives it to you
how many runs of delubrum reginae do i need for the relic quest? is it still 5 (3 per run)?
you mispelled it
you misspelled it
strange that i honestly dont have it
shepherd's
huh??
do /isearch shep
i am confused here. i dont have the stuff from the npc, and i dont seem to come further in the quest here...
You misspelled it
you...misspelled the word when you did isearch
It's Shepherd's
did you try retyping it
/isearch shep would do it too
Ctrl + I
the game told me that i don't have anything after i respelled it
that is what i did, but i honestly do not have anything
do you happen to already be wearing it
you can try and abandon the quest and replay it from the start
Is there a way to check ocean fishing departure times without going to limsa ?
apparently there's no option to abandon msq
it's just every 2 hours on the dot isn't it?
It’s every other hour
Yeah but starting when
Server time I suppose ?
if im in qeue for a daily roulette and the daily reset happens and im either in the dungeon or in qeue while it ticks over
does it count for the old or new reset ?
New
https://youtu.be/0ELZlOCT3Pw?t=46 you receive the items from thancred when you start the quest
Dirk Artagnan goes undercover to expose the kidnapper.
Persons of Interest:
Isembard
Thancred
Ungust
Minfillia
in both cases ?
it's currently 3:56 for me
so in 1h 4m
try talking to thancred again
adjust for server time as i don't know what it is now
Correct
thx
Thanks !

Can u press C and show us ur equipped stuff
if /isearch didn't find it (and he typed it correctly) then idk
at this point someone go craft it for them, google apparently says no NPC sells it
4 days iirc?
24 hours?
in gardening? you just have to tend it when the plant starts glowing purple
i think it depends on the plant
when it glows purple, you have less than 24 hours left before it will wither and die
every 48h
yeah if you never want to see it glow purple then just tend them once per day
ok thanks
can fisher do diadem
Yeah
the best way to level fsh is ocean fishing
Ocean fishing
would personally recommend just being lazy and doing ocean fishing
ayyy
boats run every 2hrs, on the odd hours
yeah I wanted to do ocean fishing last time but I was sitting in orbonne monastery queue
Boat leaves in an hour
^
Get your shark
do you need gear for ocean fishing
also do you need these quests for ivalice to be "done" for bozja
No
Uh yeah
dont really need gear for ocean fishing
and iirc no those aren't required for the bozja unlock
they aren't
you just need to finish the main rti quests
you only need to do those side quests if you want to NG+ ivalice
so just clear orbonne and done
mh
now I need to figure out where to go because unlocking bozja is way too complicated for no reason
Hey is there a squadron guide to prepare for endwalker?
oh, then I dont have that
in the kogane dori markets
!quest hail to the queen

oh by this I thought that meant the same npc
it is the same npc
no it's not
its the same dude who gives you the first quest for the return to ivalice raid series
who even remembers that guy, I thought you meant the npc in front of the elevator
I did?
I've been playing and I'm level 14 but when do I get a mount?
!faq mounts
Mounts FAQ
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Story locks literally everything
Thank you
which should i get as my bread and butter dps abilit(ies) for blu… supranaka or white/black tour, or something else entirely?
mostly for soloing
Is this a mistake? It says 6, but when I hit them with it the duration starts at 2 seconds instead. Lol XD
ahhh… i’m not prioritizing cds so i’ll get white/black knight tour
Just like with holy
ah… so then i guess any 220 spell is fine when choco meteor isn’t preferred
Yes
i use abyssal currently
Or Sonic boom for weaving
Oh I see, lol XD
Wished it would say that in the skill though, it's like a secret downgrade or something. Lol XD
can i get manphinas earrings now, or do they come out with endwalker?
Can I get more dwarf helmets from glamour somewhere?
also, 30% xp boost to 80?
yes
it's on all mob kills
anything you kill.
aight
song of torment just lasts twice as long as the new dot, right? no other advantage?
but no xp boost from roulettes and such?
leveling seems op, i started less than a week ago as new player and im level 52 rn
It does not include bozja.
thats fucked
Bozja mobs give no exp on their own.
No, doesn't apply to that either
but then wouldnt it be not as useful?
ye ik, i meant thats where the xp comes from
not killing
but the event itself
Yeye
then what is it useful for if most xp comes from "event" type things
like completing dungeons and such
When level synced, is materia ignored?
Yes
any way to turn off chat log messages when entering or exiting sanctuaries?
Experience from dungeon trash is a pretty decent portion of exp
every time you kill something in a dungeon you get xp. with the earring you get xp+30%
Thanks
ah ok
thats cool
im gonna order endwalker anyways, so i might as well take advantage of it then
yes
also, it's one slot you don't have to worry about upgrading as you level.
ye i got a lot of classes that are nowhere near 80, so it'll definitely be useful
im 75 ast, and that will be my 4th lvl 80 counting smn/sch as 1
so ye, big boost
i like
is bozja shb or sb story or its own thing
shb
oh well, already skipped the cutscene
bozja's a continuation of what ivalice set up
honestly I didn't really pay attention to ivalice either
There isn’t too much that you won’t understand if you missed some ivalice since bozja establishes itself

i want to buy gear for my lvl80 retainer but it doesnt let me https://i.imgur.com/eysYxFM.png
Unique equipment
go equip your retainer with the one you have
come back and buy a new one for yourself
do you need a proper party for potd/hoh to finish them, or matched group is enough
if you're just looking to clear for story prog or level grinding, matched is fine
you are required to have a proper party to go deeper, unless you want to go in by yourself (100+ in POTD, 31+ in HoH)
you can't do 150-200 with random people?
question, if I've fucked up a meld, can I take out the materia to meld it again
yes
do note tho, t7/8 have a 80/40% chance to be retrieved
so there's a chance they will break upon trying to retrieve them
well just right click on the item and select retrieve materia
yeah im doing that now, still feel dumb
It's a learning experience
happens
No, is the same message just sent twice
because one is the experience gain message, one is the roulette system message
It's just telling you where that 9.5 mill came from
Yeeup
i am lvl80
And only some fish give white scrips, mostly spectral ones
oh
Wrong
fucking discord
? what's wrong about "you can't get white scrips below 80"
where can i get lvl80 botanist gear for retainer for cheap
When should I start worrying about materia on my gear? is it only on lv80 or before?
how do u put these lil msgs on ur friend list 
right click yourself, edit search info

only once you're max level, yeah. otherwise you're going to be replacing it constantly.
alright ty
how much Allagan Tomestone of Revelation is needed for full set of armor/weapon/Accessories
Ive completed all coil of bahamut's, where do I head now?
feels real bad to dump the poetics weapon for seals, but i've outgrown it and i don't have a retainer that can use it. this is the correct solution, right?
Yeah, if you aren't going to use it or keep it for glamour/retainer use then just dump it
if you don't like the glam, and you don't have an alt job to use it
I mean, it's a weapon, so alt jobs wouldn't be able to use it 😉
bahamut coils is the only raid series for level 50, your next 8man raids will be alexander series on level 60
Thanks a lot!
Do y’all have any recommendations on youtube channels for guides? I know Weskalber is a good one, any others you’d recommend?

Thanks 🙂
How do you report a troll?
if SE is so against modding that they ban people, why are streamers and people posting modded screenshots on twitter not worried about getting slapped by SE? or why is SE not doing anything if they are so clearly against modding
because there is a mod or two I want to use but I'm too scared to use them for obvious reasons
Cause SE is lenient
anyone got a clue where alphinaud is? i cant find him lol
If you're not viability cheating or harassing people they're fine with it
Or doing anything illegal
Plus they know how much of the playerbase uses things like ACT and they can't really detect it's use
system -> support desk -> contact us -> report harassment
They actively watch streamers with it active, they know it's use
I want to unlock Urth's Fount (Odin) but I can't pick up any quests that is required to unlock it, anyone could help?
so if I use mods simply for myself then the chances of me getting slapped are slim?
but isnt posting screenshots basically talking about it
Yes. SE is not going to invasively check your computer to see what mods are installed, that would be nonsense. The only reason they're going to care is if you also do other skeevy things like, say, harass someone else about it, or something.
what about textools/cmtools stuff
People post screenshots without the watermark
Millions of people use textools
All the gposers do
so long as you're not using mods to like lewd underage characters in the game, and posting it on twitter with the #ffxiv hashtag you should be fine
and they dont plan to suddenly add something to check for mods and then mass ban people, do they
what are those ?
No
Cause that's like
Banning 80% of your player base

━Come ha...
after i get my rogue to 15 i can just go to my old class main quests and follow the same story right?
cuz im almost done with my level 10 hunting log
and this thing is getting me all the way to 15
Yep, the MSQ's minimum level is just that: a minimum level for the class you are currently playing.
got it, much thanks
i was thinking it was different because they are from different cities
The only part that's different is the 1-15 storyline
It converges after that point
When I've caught up with the msq would it be stupid for me to just do all the
Sidequests as an alt I know there's probably hundreds of them XD
Or would that be considered a waste of time?
Sidequests don't really give noticeable XP. You can do them for lore/story but for XP they are a waste.
some of them have interesting stories but dont expect to get reasonable exp from them
honestly, this just gave me more questions
Some give minion but mostly lore stuff
Also is rebuilding the enclave worth it?
It's free gil
I've been donating when I remember to but is it just a Gil reward, no title or minions or what not or shop access?
Well, there's the story and feel-good component.
But there are also some cosmetic rewards at the end.
There is a shop at the end
so if im understanding this right, i got a blue gear from the nier raid (the last one) and that means i wont be able to get another one until next week?
Nah that was when the raid was brand new XD
oh wtf. okay i got the tutorial for weekly rewards during that raid so i was confused af
lol thanks. guess i still have reasons to do it haha
Hope you'll get lucky and get the stuff you want unlike me XD
But once new raids come out in Endwalker, the lock will be back 
Clusters are still locked thats why
do people prefer cryptlurker cuz u can augment it higher than the yorha gear?
Yes
hi can someone clear my doubts about subscription. I'm currently using entry sub i.e. 10.99 euro per month. But when I saw the 60 days timecard in UK market it was cheaper in pounds.
Did you take the conversion rate into account?
yea i did
hi all, i seem to be having an issue where Emanation Ex is missing from my duty list, minstrel in kugane doesn't have it and i have completed MSQ up to endwalker, anyone have any ideas? :/
21.98 euros for two months entry sub and 17.98 pounds for 60 days timecard.
im actually from SEA and this is the only purchase option for me. so i thought this was cheaper
what was the command for retainer gear here
!faq retainerbp
yes
so are the best crafter tools 500 ilvl right now?
Melded aesthete is better
but how im supposed to get 2400 gathering if it doesnt let me buy ilvl500 gear with whitescrips cuz i have them already on my char
Ilvl isn't the be all for crafters and gathering
Give then your white scrip gear
Or store the scrip gear in your saddlebag
oh i see
I imagine to get me started, scrip gear will be a lot cheaper than aesthete gear.
Scrip gear is essential the catch up gear
450k gil for a pentamelded aesthete, yeah nah, I don't think I need perfect gear for crafting
especially what looks to be minor stat increases
yeah in less as 2 month endwalker is here so getting pentamelded so late is mostly a waste
Im so confused on spirit bounding gear. Im wearing lvl 1 Gear, I farm lvl 1 monsters outside Ul dah but my gear is stuck at 1% spirit bound. What am I doing wrong here?
pentamelded isnt a minor stat increase for crafter but not worth to get so short befor endwalker as a new 80 crafter
Spiritbonding is only a source of extra materia. If you're level 1 I would worry exactly not at all about it. =)
Why i cant pm people
Are you on the free trial
nah cant PM people from PF, have to clikc "send/tell" button
even though i typed exact line it gives you in chat when you click that button
I am in need of lvl 1 Materia. Can someone please explain me what iM DOING WRONG?

Is the Active Members statistic in the Community Finder accurate?
do fates so you scale down if you yourself are to many lvl above the mob you dont get any exp/spirit from the lvl1 mobs
also melding materia in the gear makes it faster
I don't think spiritbond increases outside of a duty (fate, dungeon, etc)
Im not though. I am using Ilvl 1 and Ilvl5 on Mobs level 5 and level 1.
from the 5.3 patch notes
not gear lvl your own class/job lvl maters also
- Enemies defeated in the open world (leves, etc.) will no longer affect spiritbond gain.
Thanks! So Ill be hunting fates1
can also use a spiritbond potion to make it faster if you have some
Any good mobile friendly gathering timers? ffxiv clock is one I use on desktop but not really good to use on my phone
you can set up alarms ingame

okay thanks
Is there any Minigame in the Gold Saucer that gives the most MGP?
fashion report..
Minigame
it's not worth it though, just do the fashion report, it's wildly more efficient
Sweet, took only like 50k gil, but made enough GSM collectibles to get a decent start. Can now max out the white scrips when I want, woo
Yeah, just wanna finish on my weekly report and thought maybe can farm some minigame inbetween i wait for GATE's
do verminion for challenge log and triple triad
that's usually enough to get all gates
can you change the sound between getting targetted by an enemy vs getting targetted by an ally?
For levels 1-50 is it better to run dungeons or potd
Depends on your role
I wanna level all jobs
if you have squadrons unlocked it's better than both
Also you can’t do dungeons until lvl 15
What is squadrons
Wouldn’t take long to get level 15
So the level 50 job quests for gathering all require materials on a timer. What about the level 50-60 job quests? Do those also require materials on a timer?
essentially you go into dungeons with a party of npcs that you control
like one towards the end
up to 15 you can just do hunting log
not all of them but yes
Sounds tedious
it's not as bad as it sounds, there's only 2 controls that you really use
which are engage and disengage
For my other jobs I’ll have a 200% boost because of preferred and armory
yeah I had the same and I could get my classes from 20 to 50 in a few hours at most with just squadrons
you get more EXP than running normal dungeons and sometimes its faster'
as the NPCs are stronger than normal characters at that level (you get stat bonuses on NPCs the more you play with your squadrons)
i'm not sure how many runs it'll be, it's easier to deal with the actual time invested
how long is 96 runs in potd
I can do floor 51-60 in 10 mins or less
do you know how many runs it takes to get to 50 instead? cause squadrons falls off after you reach 50. obviously if i were to compare 960 mins (96 * 10 mins) to squadrons it wouldn't be very fair
cause i can probably get 20 to 50 in 3-4 hours if i'm running nonstop
Hi guys. I just recently unlocked 3rd ShB Alliance raid. Are the coins once per week only?
No
ty, was confused about the pop up about reward items on raids
did you make this? does it include armory and preferred?
This is just going off armory
And no I did not, this is included in the levelling guide
Idk the command to get it up
!faq alt levelling
!faq altjobleveling
There we go
yeah then it's difficult for me to say as based on the pic, it's slower than squadrons
by quite a lot
but if you add preferred who knows how much quicker it'd be
How quick is squadrons ?
if i were you i'd recommend unlocking squadrons anyway as you'll want it regardless of powerleveling
and then level one class with potd
and the other with squadrons
and time it yourself
That is a great idea tbh
around 15 mins per dungeon average i would say
How much exp a run though
You’re looking at 690k a run with just preferred in 51-60
and exp buff
But obv because of it going off your level it’ll be a lot lower starting off and will jump up high at 50+
I’ll compare the both anyways and get back to you
Will wait till the weekend though
you can search on reddit too, there's a few threads on it i believe
just from a quick search: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/77vqre/squadron_dungeons_up_to_150_faster_leveling_than/
What would you run for 61-70 then? Heaven on high
but yeah i'd personally just try both yourself and see what you like better, there's other benefits to both. e.g. you get lots of leveling gear from running squadrons that you can use on your other alt classes or sell for company seals, you might enjoy one over the other a lot more, potd you farm aether bonus or whatever it's called
if you're running tanks/healer i might just spam highest non-leveling dungeon, dps prob hoh
tbh though after i reached 60 i just took it chill and ran daily roulettes, even though it's slower you spend a lot less time overall
unless you're in a huge rush to power level it's a lot more enjoyable imo
is there a reason you want all your classes at 80 before endwalker hits though?
you have preferred bonus for another 3 months at the very least
i see, well it's up to you. if that's your goal it's pretty easily doable
just get your classes to 71
and when you unlock bozja you can grind there til 80
though if you just started a week ago i imagine it's pretty early for you
Far too early
can you use the intermediate relic appearances after you upgrade it past that point?
Need to make sure I’m also upgrading my gear to match my level
there are replicas of previous stages of the relic weapon
You can buy replicas
Yew
so can buy those if you want it for glam
for arr yes
but you'd also either need the completed zeta in hand or have turned it for the first step
to buy it
if i were you i'd focus MSQ on 2-3 classes to level (split EXP), once they reach 60 or 70 you can start thinking about power leveling other classes
it'll be a lot more efficient that way
Well I didn’t receive enough exp up to the ultimate weapon to even get one class to 60 lol
And splitting it would’ve been a bad idea as each class would’ve been at around 40
wait what
is it worth using command missions to level alts?
you didn't split and you didn't reach 60 up to ultimate weapon from MSQ exp?
Yes
yes, I would say its the best exp from 20 - 50
I had to grind potd just to get the last 5 levels to 60
what about between 50 and 60?
potd if you want to power level
then just run highest non leveling dungeon
you need so many runs tho
96 runs total
lmao
you can save daily roulettes for dps
and run highest non leveling dungeon as tanks and healers
thats a good point
its just that im leveling like 3-4 things simultaneously so i kinda run out of stuff
if you have preferred and armoury bonus you can cover most of the levels with a single day's roulettes
then yeah you're gonna want to level more classes if you don't want to "waste EXP"
What's a good thing to spend yellow scrips on if you're capped?
lvl 70 gear, mastery books, materia

what's a good newbie friendly job for pvp?
any
I tried dancer but i feel like have to follow my pair and i dont, so my dances go to waste
the pvp kits are just condensed versions of your normal abilities
and they don't have to be near you to be affected by the dance.
just partnered.
that's how dancer works
rly? That's good to know lmao
yeah, sam is my favorite for pve but i didnt liek it very much for pvp. Basically because i cant get midare off with its lonbg cast i guess lmao
Where is the best place to buy crafter materia for a lvl 75 crafter?
you don't need to worry about materia until max level
where is the setting to adjust the space between hotbars?
you mean like the space between individual boxes or individual bars?
indivdual boxes
Yes
will help clear up some inventory space
how do i activate DPS meter?
All HQ requirements are gonna be replaced with needing more normal quality items
I don't think there is a way, if you see people with hot bars of 4 actions with a plit in the middle it'S because they activated the option to hide unused action boxes

It's a third party programme
oh i see
so whats the point in perception now
We don't know
ty ty
aww, so you only get 6 deliveries a week per expansion? haha
Is there a discord group specifically for farming mounts?
thanks
oh, so all expansions, got it. I mean the 6 I turned into m'naago gave exp but man white scrips would have been nice
You get white scrips at 80
you can also change the orientation and orgnisation of hotbars by going into the settings for that hotbar and then change the layout
so it'S really just people with well organised hotbars
im lowkey confused i went into a dungeon with someone and he got like 4 levels meanwhile i only got one
we were the same level
buffs
he probably had the road to 70 buff
earring, road, FC
how is MNK right now?
i see, thats something i cant get as f2p right?
only xp boost you can't get as a f2p are fc buffs, earrings from preorders and road to 70 I think
road to 70 you only get when you made a char on a preferred world, lasts like 90 days minimum longer if the world stays preferred
Why do I not receive any exp from the bowl of embers hard trial
I remember gaining exp from the normal trial
cause it not meant fo xp
Ah
and the normal trial is part of the leveling roulette
i see
they don't want you to be super overleveled for heavensward
im fine with that im in no rush i was just impressed with the difference
Oh ok thank you
I'm fairly certain you can get road to 70 on free trial
you absolutely can
You can
Yeah
its just create a character on a preferred server, das it
Yup
When are you able to attune to the ||Eulmore Aetherite?|| It says it needs special permissions.
near the end of the msq
When you go back there at lv76/77 or so
hi
can i reset my chocobo s skills ?

yes with a reagan pepper
buy it with allied seals
not GC seals
those are a scam
those 48k seals can be spent on much better things
like ventures 
thx
I know this is a really silly question but I just started playing the game and I really like Monk. Does anyone know when the positioning requirement for their skills is checked? is it when the damage is dealt, or when the skill is used? I'm only level 11, just can't really tell if I'm doing it right
when skill is used
When you pr ss the button and the gcd starts rolling
Animations literally don't matter
Okay, thank you! I appreciate it :)
iirc only casters have a delay, which is 0.5 seconds anyway
No its just dealt at the end of the cast
kk

--Gameplay from FFXIV version 5.0 - 5.58
What's inside:
✨ An overview of commonly utilized Battle Basics
✅ Clearing up why they're important to understand and how to make use of them
⭐️ Tip...
Talks about GCDs, weaving, positionals and snapshotting
the last being a big thing
Ishgard restoration
Also do your daily grand company turn ins, beast tribes and weekly custom deliveries when they're unlocked
Is there an xp penalty to repeating crafting levequests ?
No
I cannot use the macro for Blue Mage?
So you're better off just redoing the leve that gives more xp then ?
not really, the only skill you'll want to macro is eruption/feather rain
Yes, triple turn in leves are usually the best
Cause they're the most xp per leve spent
I wanted to macro for the Bomb Toss thinking it'll be faster if I don't have to aim all the time, but when I made a macro for it the macro didn't seem to work so I thought to myself does that mean all skills for Blue Mage cannot turn into a macro? Lol XD
What does it mean when people in PF say “I have AM” or “Bring AM”?
Auto marker, if it's for uwu
question, at the end of the day does it matter if i made my character in recommended server?
cuz there wasnt any when i made my character
It makes Titan gaols easier to handle
Yeah, it’s for UWU! Thanks
You either got road to 70, or you didn’t
yeh i guess i didnt xD
I wouldn't fret about it.
i fucked up the trade in in eulmore and am left with 9 certificates of total bullshit grandeur, can i do anyhtring with them?
am I just blind or there is no aetheryte in gangos, I remember the game saying something about it but I forgot
There isnt
You can use the doman enclave aetheryte to port to it
Provided you attuned to all the aether shards in there
Nope, only thing you can do is toss them or buy more Exarchic gear to get more tokens

does the number of times you see an enemy use an ability have an impact on likelihood of learning it as a blu spell?
nope
You should be doing duties synced anyway, because 100% learn rate
Are there set drop rates for ponies. Just need leviathans and considering just not getting it because of the invuln phases that take way too long. Tired of wasting my time trying to get something that will never drop
whats there to do after hitting lvl 80 other than maxing out other classes? do you farm for end game gear?
have you mastered triple triad yet?
Have you tried bringing more lvl 80s
yea but then everyone rolls need which is fair but slim chances of getting it even if everyone passes most people cant burst past the invuln phases which is the big issue for me ig
not a difficult fight just tired of waiting for mechanics
but ig thats farming something even if its boring af
hm is there some guide for progression ? like what do i do once i hit the 1 and 2nd expansion ? just streamline through the story, get gear from quest rewards ?
just follow the MSQ, get your poetics gear, grab pieces as you need them.
i’m not feeling like setting up a group right now
assuming you have a decent set of skills, you might be able to solo
to undersized + level sync
then you're gonna need to deal with the low learn rate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
that’s fine. i was just asking if there was a point in me setting there watching siren use song of torment 50 times before i killed her.
wasn’t complaining
Wdym slim chance if everyone passes? If you’re the only person rolling for the item, you get it.
Well most of the time everyone rolls on it and your group goes until everyone has it
even if I just ask one person to do it with me its the invuln phase thats my big issue but
im just a complainer lol
just tired of sitting through his shit when I could kill him instantly instead of waiting 30 seconds for the elemental converter to come back on :/
feel like even with more people unless you plan in advance to have one person burst him down from 20->0 someone will accidently hit him to 19% and its back to waiting lol
well it was a question but im assuming there is no answer
but personally find that killing the orb things forget their name
