Ah ok
it's a bummer that a cool story moment is locked behind something people don't routinely run
oh it is, it's also pretty important to the lore
I did the first turn
Thats all i’ve done so far
I’m not rly sure how raids work in this game
I thought there were multiple coils or smthn
binding coil - 5 turns, second coil - 4 turns, final coil - 4 turns
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Raids here's a list
yeah so you don't have to do it in one go
With smaller instances inside of it
Ok i like that actually
Cuz otherwise it’d take hours
Um
?
has this ever happened to anyone before? i'm playing controller on pc. normally when these types of prompts come up, it replaces my cross bar with the buttons i need to press. loaded up the game for the first time in a couple months and this happens. to use these skills, i have to stop and click them. it happens in the grand cosmos on the second boss when you pick up the seed too
is "Enable duty action input" checked in Hotbar->Cross settings?
yes
and the pet/mount hotbar thingies too?
Where can i re read all the things the game taught me so far?
System -> Active Help
Is the Trust System not offered for some level 80 dungeons? Noticing I don't see anything for The Twinning 😦
Oh wait. There's avatar mode
Awwww
And I just found out my guys were all underleveled anyway. If I wanted to do lvl 80s via trust
they level up SUPER FAST
like 1 level per dungeon if you keep doing the highest level one that they can do
so you only need 9 runs to get from 71 to 80
or 18 total for all 6
kk
Does anyone have a macro for hq exarchic gear? i can get to 85% quality but can't seem to get any farther
You need to use HQ materials if you're not using any at all
AFAIK, no macro can achieve 100% HQ on 4-star crafts without any HQ materials, even with the super top-end stats.
what would you use divine benison for for whm

Its just there pretty much. It's free shielding whenever you have a weave window but it won't hurt if you forget it
So typically in dungeons you just toss it on the tank during a pull
Or during bosses when you dot refresh and have nothing else to weave
Hi, for Resistance rank 23-25 is grinding zadnor or doing DR the faster way to gain mettle?
Zadnor zone 3
Post lfg in shout chat and just mob along with the other 35 people there
Gotcha. It helps that I need the memories there for my 30x6 resistance weapon step as well
Thanks for the help
Np, good luck with the relic
Thank you 😄
Yeah most of the time Z1 and Z2 here are deserted as hell anyway
Yep
People just focus on Z3 almost all the time
I suggest to do normal raids for the rare memories
also O1 and O3 are stupid quick for the second quest
It has the most fates and enemies to spawn a CE
Plus two tp points for people to use
That makes sense yeah
Where can i farm bronze alembic?
I need it for that grand company thing
To proceed msq
what time is it in your timezone
I mean if you really really can't find anyone you can use party finder I guess but if you queue at times where people actually play that would help
i wanna do eureka for the dragoon armor, does that mean i have to do dragoon relic aswell?
do I need to run BA to get the final glamour tier of elemental armor?
like the glowyness, or dyeableness
So I'm gonna do the in-game wedding with someone who's never done it before, but I still have my mount and stuff from the $20 version from years ago.
If I get the free wedding this time for me and she gets the $20 version, does she still get the super fancy dress? Or do I just have to bite the bullet and drop $20 again
Thanks!
you need to buy the $20 item again, since the item is the thing that allows you to marry and stuff
if you get $0 and your partner $20, the wedding will be $0
Nah
You can just do armor
Does anyone know if we can use accented characters for names?
Haha I figured but just had to be sure. Big oof but thanks for the info! Appreciated

Do we get shadowbringers with endwalker
Just ask people randomly
when EW launches, yes
11/19 methinks
My wallet has been saved
sorry 23 for normal release
Thanks
What can I spend allegory on other than Crystalline Rain for my exarchic gear augmentation?
for augmenting the exarchic gear specifically, nothing else
talk to the tomestone vendor near the rest of the other vendors for i490 gear and tomestone crafting materials
i've just had a "Forlorn maiden" have the text appear during a FATE, but she wasn't anywhere near the FATE, i looked all around, does she just not spawn sometimes?
hmm, okay, thank you
I guess as a follow-up: if I wanted to make my own exarchic gear, do I need to go through the effort of getting the Tomes of Folklore or whatever they're called to access all the nodes? And are they only obtained through (in essence) 4k yellow gatherer scrip apiece?
apparently it's a bug with this FATE in particular https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/420219-FATE-Fuath-To-Be-Reckoned-With-does-not-correctly-spawn-Forlorn-Maidens
Date of issue: 06/07/2020
Time of issue: 12:07 AM
Frequency: 100% (2/2 attempts)
World name: Mateus
Monster name: Forlorn Maiden
In-game time: ~7:30 PM Eorzea Time
Area and coordinates: Il Mheg @ 33.0x 5.1y 1.0z
Steps:
- Engage the FATE boss The Daens and reduce its HP to approximately 50%.
Theres a symbol beside my exp bar that looks like a moon anyone know what it Is?
It means you're in a sanctuary
means you're in a zone that lets you gather rested experience
You're gathering rested xp bonus while in said sanctuary
Ohh ok thanks
So the 4 implosion in e10s doent change? if its front in first its always front?
With the huge amount of players getting into the game what are your dps q for dungeons?
I'll need to play on controller for a couple weeks, any tips for that?
Yes, the direction doesn't change, but the pattern can be unpredictable.
watch a youtube guide for setting up
@gritty oracleim glad to hear this
especially cross hotbars
oh nice thanks!

Is there any level 50-60 easy to craft collectible for yellow crafter scripts?
the highest level one you can do with the cheapest materials.
which is probably alchemist or culinarian
Is there anybody I can commission to make the materia enhanced champions lance for me?
but as always check prices of the other materials to see if there's other reallt cheap ones.
Or sell me one?
you can buy one off the marketboard, buy the materia too, and then use an NPC melder to attach the materia
Okay thanks!!
Do I use any materia?
the exact ones specified in the quest
Are there any unlockable hairstyles for the Viera?
Thanks so much I would’ve done something stupid if you didn’t help
nope, they only have the defaults currently.
BUT, in various videos and stuff they used to show off the job gear for 6.0, they had Vieras shown with unlockable hairstyles.
So 6.0 might be making those available to them.
(unknown for Male Viera and Hrothgar)
Thanks heya
which would be the fastest for squadron missions - being a dps, tank or healer?
squadron command missions*
If you play actively, healer
Do I need to do BA to get the final elemental armor glam?
no only if you want the +2 version which only adds the eureka only stat to the gear, +1 is allrdy glowing and dyeable
yeah hydatos is the last step if you ony want the glam you could argue that ba is the last for both but it only adds the eureka elemental stat to the weapon/armor and if you only do it for glam you can skip the ba step
i have not yet stepped foot in eureka, i just noticed that the gear you get for job quests can be converted to 'eureka gear', the Antiquated version becomes regular version - is this something i should be doing or can i just use scaevan instead
290 ilvl becomes 335, a far cry from scaevan 400
so should i bother with this gear conversion thingie or should i dump the gear if i don't like its glam
it seems to look identical as antiquated/not
ah
eureka gives 3 things,
- relic weapon (glam), 5-20h
- dyeable 70 job gear, 3-4h
- elemtental armor, you might've seen people post about the tank or drg variant of this armor looking cool
Hi guys, Does someone know how the boss on the golden platform was called? The platform could tilt in different directions which was very fun! The group had trouble to stay on the platform - very challenging. I searched all over youtube but couldn't find it. o.o
Sophia
the trial itself is called Containment Bay P1T6

thank you!
any1 have experience playing the moment content drops? it is a 4hr long login wait and impossible lagfest?
rauban ultimate or something like that?
i guess im seeking advice if i should wait a day to start
we don't know exact launch time, the time used in the command is an assumption from SHB launch
As for first week launch, if you're on the really big servers then expect a 10-30 minute queue to enter depending on time of day.
As for another "Raubahn Extreme" incident, SHB didn't actually have one at all, and SE learned their lesson from when it happened, so if things go well there won't be a repeat in 6.0 launch
Thank you for the infos, thats quite a reassuring to hear. Time to take leave to play EW!
How do you get someone to meld you gear?
Is there is like a forum page or something
RIght click some1 else that is currently a crafter class > Request melds?
cant check now
ohh didnt know you could do that ty
wait I dont know anyone do i just go to random people?

you ask in chat
especially if you're wanting to do overmelds
BUT
if you only need to meld the visible slots on gear, you can use NPC melders for that.
They're marked on the map with a light blue materia icon
Waait a min whats the difference between overmelds and visible
you can also level up crafting professions yourself if you want to do it on your own
thats a very good idea aswell
overmelds are basically invisible slots that you can only access with crafted gear, like non-augmented Exarchic and Aesthete.
wow
most gear will have "Advanced meld disabled" written on it
the hidden slots have a failure rate for attaching the materia, and goes as low as the single digits for success rate.
meaning you can only insert the materia in slots that are visible
🙏 Bless ty guys
I'm trying to level up two classes so I can get a bit of variety in how I run things.
One is Machnist and one is Arcanist. What's the fastest way to level up these?
msq
They are not high enough for MSQ.
!faq altlvlguide
do dungeons and stuff until they are
basically, dungeon spam and daily roulettes
POTD if it has a much better queue than your highest level dungeons
Oh, yeah there'd probably be a guide. Didn't think to check, apologies.
Actually that does lead me to another question about that POTD.
Actually wait, my brain just answered it for me, apologies.
Glad you got my mental brainwashing. /s
This guide will be helpful. I can't believe my brain skipped right over it.
Heya, this is most likely a very stupid question. I am struggling how to figure out how to buy the stormblood expansion. I bought the standard edition with a realm reborn and heavensward, and I've been playing for quite a while now, and want to upgrade to stormblood to include that in my gameplay. But when I follow the link in Buy under the windows column on the mog station, it comes up with a 404 not found on the square enix store website. When I look for stormblood, it comes up with the collector's edition and pre-order, which of course isn't available anymore, and is like $200. I can't seem to find where to add the expansion. I'm probably just being really dumb, lol.
Does anyone mind letting me know where to get the upgrade?
Which boss from the monastery drops Ivalician Mystic’s Coat?
Buy shadowbringers or endwalker
Stormblood on its own doesn’t exist anymore
so if I don't have stormblood, buying shadowbrings will automatically add it? Or is it an add-on?
3rd and 4th, IIRC.
ty
Only did the monastery once, how difficult is it compared to the last nier raid?
thanks! c:
When choosing which one to buy, what is the difference between PC download and PC?
(I'm stupid)
Download is digital
Well to give a comparison, SE felt that it was needed to give the Echo to Orbonne Monastery to help it be cleared easier
No other 24-man raid has been given the same treatment
Oh my

I actually remember the snipe boss now, Jesus that was rough
And even then with the Echo and 3rd boss-specific nerfs to some of his mechanics, it's still a very tough raid compared to most 24-mans
In the name of glamour. Thanks again
So, why do we get tagged by hitboxes rather than hit by the actual fire?
so lalafells don't have an inherent advantage over the bigger races
All races use the same hitbox which is basically a small square of pixels smack dab in the center of their player circle
That doesn't explain why we're "tagged" by the hitbox though.
Then when we're a mile away from the flames, still get "hit."
?
That's just how the mechanics work, if you're in the AoE when it finishes, you get hit
sniperman's only really rough if the tank's an idiot and is spinning him around, tbh.
some DO have a habit of being really delayed compared to the actual cast
but aren't that widespread
staying close to his hitbox center makes it easier to dodge tells
save sprint for when he's waking up his robot buddies
How long will it take to get to 50 without palace of the dead unlocked?
- Well, without doing MSQ as well aha
My question is why is that how the mechanics work?
not too long if you're on tank or healer queues, since you can just spam dungeons to level
Its very counter intuitive and feels "wrong"
High ping players crying
That's just how SE decided on it. 
I'm sure there's an old interview or two explaining their position/opinion on it, but I suck at finding them
moreso at specific ones
i play on 200 ping just fine
reacting to really fast stuff can be a bit harder sometimes but it's honestly nothing unmanageable
so outside of roulettes, whats the next best thing for tomestones of allegory ?
i get a lot of allegory doing s rank hunt trains
oh yes !! trusts work for those too if queue times are a pain or you wanna semi afk it
i dont think i have unlocked hunts or lvl 80 dungeons yet
lvl 80 dungs not cuz msq lock
so i shoulda go unlock hunts?
i have an ilvl msq lock and i have 2 more roulettes and they wont be enough for the item purchase 😐
what level are you ?
80
do Eden raids
if you have cash , you can try getting exarchic gear for ilvl checks too
from the mb
You should be able to unlock The Twinning
but trying hunts out : getting them unlocked might not be an awful idea long term ! if you don’t mind them , you can get some useful stuff
In the crystarium
okay so which option out of all of these give the most tomestones/ try ?
I'm assuming you still need 430 full set?
spamming dungeons is your best bet when there's no hunt trains active
any good gear/bis sets linkl for for btn?
iirc yes, my ilvl is 429
Eden will gear you up fast
hi , so for the 2nd anima relic weapon , i still have to farm the quest Unexpected proposal to the end again ?
If so
You can get accessories from The Twinning and Amaurot dungeon
You could also buy an exarchic piece from the marketboard which would boost you severely
And give you a cool story to boot
regular non roulette dungeons is gonna give me the most tomestones?
There's no singular BiS set for crafters/gatherers since it entirely depends on the things you're making/gathering
so there's tons of choices
When cating your loot vote for a dungeon, can you see if another person have picked Greed, Need, or Pass?
no, only if they rolled on the item.
their exact choice will appear once the item is being given out if it makes them eligible to get the item
AKA if someone rolls need, anyone that rolled greed/pass won't appear in the log
woah, how come shadowbringer combat beast tribe quests give so much xp
Because it only has one tribe instead of two for combat.
Hello anyone here willing to give me advice on how to start working towards samurai ShB relic weapon? I finished MSQ couple days back and only blue quest I done are the ones for Eden raids
so eden gives me the quickest and most tomestones? or will regular dungeons gimme quicker
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Resistance_Weapons
this page should have all the answers
im in a hurry cuz i wanna finish MSQ before i start doing other cool things
eden can be better if you consistently get first-time bonuses
Eden will also get you gear
the superboss fates for the expacs are available immediately on expac release right? just gotta figure out the chain?
!faq contentunlock
4th link
yep
hello, if i play both on ps4 and on pc, do i have to buy endwalker twice?
damn..
it'll give you eden gear that will allow you to get to the ilvl lock fast
Honestly the tomes from finishing ShB should get you at least a 490 accessory to start jumping your ilevel
they need allegory to get the ilvl for story
Story is part of the game, I'd say sit back and enjoy the story there's no reason to rush for end content
They have to do something else to do msq lmfao
^
exactly xD as if the MSQ wasnt long enough already
im playing 13 hours a day MSQ and i still havent finished it ( 1 month )
The first 8 raids take part between 5.0 and 5.3 anyways
well i would be happy to do raids, however whats the chance im gonna find a party lol
They'll also get you gear required for any future ilvl checks
thatd be very nice yes
but i would be correct to assume a dungeon and a raid vary a lot in difficulty yes
Meh
I'd say same difficulty
But raids are 1 arena
While dungeons are dungoens
More compressed difficulty :P
Nier raids have multiple quests in between raids unlock
We're talking Eden lul
!quest In the Middle of Nowhere
One of the Crystarium guards is particularly relieved to have found you.
Anxious Crystarium Guard

Is there a site or google doc I can see that has all the dungeons and what loot they drop?
can I get exp from trusts?
yes
the tradeoff being they're remarkably slow
yeah fair, but I haven't levelled my trusts yet so might as well
Where do you turn in Cracked Planicluster?
Eulmore
Or the crystarium iirc
There's a materia trader, nearish the market board at the crystarium and in the center-circle in Eulmore
the gamerescape wiki pages for dungeons shows all the drops and what bosses drop which ones
Cool, thanks
i talk with ryne ?

aight wait
should I redeem wondrous tails on a lower levelled job or higher level? I'm debating between my lv 60 war and lv 78 sam
oh sweet, thank you
do i have to complete the chain or just 1 quest
probably chain, on a second thought
If you pre order endwalker do you get that xp boost ear ring right away or do you have to wait until launch?
right away if you pay for the pre-order when you buy it
Thanks
Noob question but with Edenwalker coming soon, ShB relic will mostly be only worth it for glamour ?
yep
since you'll be able to buy the augmented cryptlurker weapon directly for poetics when 6.0 launches
Thanks so no need to rush it now. I'd much rather focus on Eden savage to get into raiding and start making some gil
isnt there a triple triad channel in this discord? im getting rolled way too much and i wanna get some help
what's the best exchange for poetic tomestone to gil?
how do i do this
luck, pretty much
it depends on if someone in the instance is doing it for the first time
ah
so the best thing to do is keep unlocking raids or just repeat the one i just unlocked ?
keep unlocking so you can benefit from your own first-time bonus
Free trial players have access to the mogstation in a limited capacity but I'm unsure if that includes outfits
I think most of the things you can't buy are account-wide stuff?
The mogstation will stop you though if it's a thing you can't buy.
so you get some pieces, how do you trade-in 4 of them for a piece of gear ? which NPC vendor do I talk to ?
Ghul Gul in Mord Sorq near the Aetheryte, or Yhal Yal in Eulmore near the tomestone people.
alright ty mate

Hello guys. I'm currently assigned my one of my retainers to fishing because at the time that was my 2nd highest job class (76) My retainer now is at 61. I'm a bit worried I wasted time investing on this because I was hoping I could desynth the fish but I dont think there's much to get from it? I should I stop and change it to something else? Something that could yield some gil
retainers aren't a big moneymaker in general, you're not missing out on much
Hi! Quick one
Considering to transfer from SHIVA to CHAOS RAGNAROK
Should I do it now or wait for Endwalker? Understood that there are fees
fishing is one of the better dol actually 😹
the botanist and mining doesn't give much either
can you only buy the adamantite maps when you're at that stage of the relic?
if its your first arr relic yes
for later ones you can pre farm these iirc since you unlocked it
oh ye i'm stupid, i was looking at the special arms section when it has it's own section
thanks
and i can be any job right?
where can i read news about whats coming to EW?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/endwalker/ can also check #translations-and-liveletters and the lodestone for news about it
tnx
any place where can I do the achievement bosom buddies quick?
kill 100 monster at your level to get chocobo exp
where I can pull multiple mobs at once
I did it on amaurot area (the tempest) wondering if there's any better place
if you level blue mage,everywhere is;
do easy fates with a lot mobs that die fast and yeah having blu helps a lot for it
anyone knows what is a hunt train and how to join it?
a lot of rank A mobs would respawn periodically.hunt train records their coordinates and leads ppl in this data center to kill them with high efficiency
it's a crowd of parties going zone to zone killing A/S rank hunts
ah yeah I'll try that, ty ty BLU seems a good idea
Why did I think AST and WHM regens couldn't stack?
I'm guess I over read the fact two AST regens can't stack
yeah

i think i've reached the point where the more serious grind starts for blue mage
that would be getting all spells
but i don't really see an easy way of doing that because some of them are from stuff like lv70 normal raids
would i need to find a party of blue mages to grind these out?
You can get a fair number of them solo thankfully, but yeah stuff like Nightbloom will need a party of people
Who actually know the fight
It doesn't necessarily need to be an all BLU team either, if you're just learning spells
If you sync the fights and you're alive when the enemy dies, you get the spell 100%
i haven't even started looking but i doubt there would be any pf that allows for blue mages going for normal clears on some bosses etc
Just throw your own up
99% of people would just matchmake it regularly i assume
i have seen PF groups doing Blu mage dungs and raids
People will join if you say you're doing spell learning
Won't always be the quickest, but they will come
if you get caught modding, is it an instant permaban or it's like a month or something for first offense
alright thanks for the tips
Various people say it's a 7 day first, with a perma following
But given it's impossible to be 'caught' if you're not an idiot and admit to it, kinda a moot point
yeah, all of the spells are mostly copied from normal stuff
even the ex stuff, the mechanics are old, easy to do
is there a guide for which spells i should try to get first for the purpose of easy clears of fates
and blues are OP, you don't need to tank swap at all, just diamondback
what counts as admitting, there is a bunch of people posting here using the hud mod, is that admitting
if they had their IGN linked to it, then yes that counts as 'stupid'
They don't take third party evidence much
don't tie your name to using mods
if you do, expect to get slapped
if you don't, expect to be fine
to say they operate on a don't-ask-don't-tell basis is the simplest explanation
Thanks, that kinda makes me feel relief. I figure out how to get some small passive income from it i guess.
should I not have told my friend about it then, I kinda trust them and they know my ign obviously
.
what is third party evidence
pretty much on ANY kind of report for any infraction, if it's submitted by a third party they'll just ignore you
any mobs in diadem drop the normal spring water? Ive only found ones that drop true springwater and such.
ff14 streamers use mods
ur fine as long as you dont prmote mods in game
or use any that would constitute cheating
if someone reports you for changing ur HUD with a mod, Square will just ignore it
there is a reason you seldom hear of people being banned for modding
well, without that being a cover-excuse for them spamming slurs in chat
The majority of mods are just for cosmetic changes/looks, and frankly i've never heard of someone banned for using one. if they were banned then there would be a lot of uproar
you only hear about modders being banned for explicit content revolving around minors, big no no
or modders being banned for using them to harass others
and honestly that's more related to the spirit than the means
if you are using the QuckLauncher to load mods, the mods included in it follow their own basic rules, while obviously not rules Square Enix use, they are generally QoL/cosmetic mods
unlikely to get anyone banned
there are some xivlauncher mods that give a clear advantage
Like
like pixel perfect
i'm not sure what you're trying to argue
and going back to square one, is it provable if you don't admit to it? no
^
i guess, but thats something someone can learn after a while
true, I was just thinking in a worst case scenario
Is there a way to make spells like Quick Nock better? It's very low res and bright and makes me feel sick to my stomach with the constant flashing, how to fix the games animations?
frankly it's not hard to be pixel perfect without that addon.
there is a mod that aloows you to turn off certain spell animations
otherwise, without mods, its one setting for all animations
if you prefer less flashy, adjust these
Battle Effect Settings
i would Not go below limited.
once you get to raid levels, most ppl turn down stuff like party and others
Yea some of the spells are just too flashy in rapid succession and not even really in focus 😶
limited is pretty low anyway, its mostly just a small flash of colour for all spells, no real animations as far as ive seen
which one do i select?
i believe the mod that can do it per effect/ability, is called EasyEyes
though ive not used it myself
maybe fiddle with your monitor settings a bit then? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
can I remove the linkshell chat without leaving the linkshell
edit the chat filters
click the cog next to the chat tabs, then log filters
in tehre you can check/uncheck what you want to see in each chat tab
I move my Linkshells to their own separate chat tab
I'm talking about that
thats where you are typing
yes, I want to remove that
that shows all chats, no matter what tab you are in
no way to change that
you can change what displays
in teh actual chat window
but not the button to select where you wanna chat
wouldn't be the first time ive sent a chat message to a chat i can't see, lol
guys the upgrade order is like : weapon -> armor - > ???
the chat system definitely leaves something to be desired and really needs an upgrade
it baffles me that you can't just hit tab, to change the channel you are typing in, and that there are 4 max channels
and that the chat box doesn't automatically limit chat to those on display only
weapon > chest/pants > helm/boots/hands > accessories @spiral mango
also that there is no way to have it permanently change channels when typing text in using slash commands, like /p and /s ,etc
you can set you default channel to be certain channels
by just typing /p and hitting enter
hello where can I find the fashion report infograph ?
the command is !fr, please use it in #kupo-bot-spam
thanks !
yeah i know that, but why can't we have it so if i type "/p hello" it switches for all other messages
is zadnor better than bozja for leveling? or you cant level there
many other mmos ive played do this, it is very intuitive, for some reason FF14 has all defaults to be "temporary channel changing" this includes the keybinds for some reason, like they expect you to be chatting in multiple channeklts at the same time
ty ❤️
You can always switch teh keybinds to be perma instead of temp
not a fan of the keybinds, but ill get used to it
but the whole not changing chat channels when typing "/p hello" is odd to me, I may dig into mods and make my own
gate antique is tier 1, gear aprochypha is tier 1 savage, verge antique is tier 2, etc
Black Mage is available for a trial player correct?
And honestly you can upgrade in any order you want, your main goal rn is to up your ilvl and any piece of gear will do that
Nice, Gonna level it as my next class, so I can do the Daily Roulette while I still go for DK and MCH on my Bard
Is there any method to choosing which squadron members to recruit? I hit the max and I have no idea whether to replace anyone. None of the guides I've seen online bring this up.
is there a rule of thumb on what is a magic attack
so the best use case of gil is housing? whats the advantage of housing again? doing everything in one place ?
Members all have the same stats
The stats are based on their class
Which you can freely change with an item
You can use it if you unlocked it but you can't log in if you're in a zone you don't own
Oh cool, so it's really just flavour and which ones I think are coolest?
And as usual you'll be capped to the level cap of the content you own on that device
And can't do expansion content
Yes you can't do expansion content if you don't own it on that device
Yes
Most people plug a keyboard in for typing
So im trying to unlock the last four savages for eden but i dont see a quest popping up.
Talk to lewry after doing all of eden normal
Then it's in the HIGH END CONTENT tab
Not the regular duty finder

Crafters + DoH are all 70+ and all MSQ up to Shadowbringers is done yet I can't do Inscrutable tastes etc.. to unlock scrip exchanges in crystarium.
I bought the Skip up to Shadowbringers so could that be potentially causing the issue?
hey,.I just noticed there's no Hunting Log for Astro? or any post ARR jobs? They should put that in Edgewalker😋
Hunting logs are dead content
They're useless past lv15
hunting logs aren't fun
I liked, em. I guess 'Hunting boards' are what you'd move too?
!faq interrupt
Nvm about my previous statement, NPC was being dumb and displaying some random irrelevant quest.
It doesn't flash
it flashes if youi can interrupt
Interupptable stuff flashes
https://i.imgur.com/6opbDnl.png not interruptable
ok
it flashes.
ah ok
anyone know if the newegg digital pre-order for endwalker ships the code now or at launch?
Extra tip, you can separate the enemy health bar and the enemy cast bar to position it somewhere easier to see
Hey on the wiki for relic weapons I noticed some (like anima) have multiple weapons for the same class? Is this correct? (Like Nothung, Cronus etc for DRK)
Cause it's a long chain
Relics grow and evolve
And change their look
During the chain
To add to this, Id increase the size a bit and put it above your hotbar so you can keep eye on your rotation and see what the boss is gonna do
Makes sense, thanks!
Yes
wow lol
Ah ok thank you thank you
what's a better defensive ability than lost reflect in bozja
Killing them faster
Not wrong
On PF I find some are dark and some are highlighted. Are the highlighted ones the ones I qualify for?.
Is it possible to give a Landsaint set to a retainer if you've already bought one?
I was thinking of stashing my personal set in the chocobo saddlebag.
Give them your current set
Then buying the retainer set.
sometimes you can't kill it that fast so you need defensive
You can with proper set ups
Rank 3 and low can be quickly killed
Anything higher needs a tank
Rank 4 and 5s destroy your hp even as a tank
I assume lost spellforge + lost reflect doesnt work
No
lame
Spellforge/Sting are pretty niche
I just use reflect and lost cure 2
Reflect is only good for sprites farming and the red chocobo CE
well what else would I use
Damage increasing stuf
I have none
If it doesn't increase your damage it's pretty bad
Until then use whatever
You basically have nothing until then
I still have nothing good
Don't get baited by death effect lost actions they're trash
Not really
I never got one to work
Death is good for farming Star mobs
Used like a hundred of them
And castrum prisoners
Sleep star mob > spam death
You can get 3 deaths off before sleep falls off
Remember Ordained essence
If you're death farming Star mobs
There's like 1 star mob that's immune to death bit that's in zone 1 and zone 1 star mob fragments are junk
Zone 3 bojza and zone 2 Zadnor star mobs are the only good ones to death farm
Is there a reason why I can't mine HQ Solstice Stone?
It says you need a Perception > 1620.
But I have a Perception of 2400.
You have Font and Banner
which banner
those will kill me sooner than I kill the enemy
Font + Sacrifice/Noble ends are the main stuff
and only 10 uses which is nothing
They won't...Sacrifice maybe but not Noble ends
10 uses is alot for something very stromg
You can farm more in that time farm
dancer dont even deal enough damage in bozja
No
Just makes leve turning ins take like 15 minutes longer than it should lol
potions are also onetime use aren't they
Essenses are permanent until you leave or swap jobs
Resistance Potions etc are one time
But very good and underrated healing
Very light on their weight
my retainers are lvl 54, what is the cheapest way to gear them i wonder?
hehe, what's a somewhat cheap way without crafting it myself?
And gathering for gathering retainers
@raw granite i'm on Primal Famfrit not sure if you will be able to send me anything right
nope indeed
@faint flare do you have any list of vendors for gear at some level ranges?
are the helloween attire's available yet?
Ones in main cities
@faint flare hmm so lvl 54 would be ishgard?
Yes
potion is not a healing action right
yes but noble ends disables healing from "most healing actions"
With the ilvl 90 job-specific equipment you get from your level 50 job quest, should I just turn those in for grand company tickets once I have ilvl 110/130 gear to cover it? Doesn't look like they can go in the armoire.
Noble ends blocks anything with a healing potency
If it doesn't have a heal/cure potency, it works through Noble ends
Which means lifesteal effects from beast/bloodsucker works
And the like
are the helloween attire's available yet?
can anything in choctober hurt you if you have reflect and you arent a tank
because you can even tank the stack marker alone
so as a dps you are effectively invincible, even if you have 20 vuln stacks

to what extent is this game alt friendly?
like, is there a point to creating alt characters other than for fun?
once you get divination, they also gain 3 different seals
One melee and one ranged card for each seal
Anyone know what instance shows as "the expedition" on friend list?
Very alt unfriendly, you have to do everything again and nothing is shared except account bound items
Is it diadem?
People only do alts to avoid loot lock outs for raiding or playing on different data centres...OR Rp stuff
i see
Do you still get 15 free sub days for getting a character to level 30 on a preferred world?
Hmm my friend made his account like 6 months ago on a preferred world and yesterday activated the game (level 60) and didn't get the 15 days. Does he have to remake another character on another preferred world for it to work?
what worlds are preferred?
!faq worldstatus
See here
for Duty Roulette, when they note Tank or Healer Bonus,..is that really based on current real-time 'need'? or is it RNG?
Is there a way to track my hunts location without coming back the hunt board?
i remember taking screenshots,.. 😋
I pre ordered this did I enter the code in right? because I got two codes, the main dlc and the pre order bonus
use the hunt papers in your key items
Yeah spriggan is still preferred, anyone knows why didn't he get this 15 days?
I didnt notice that, thank you 
seems right to me, you bought starter and endwalker right, so you wont get shadowbringers and stormblood till endwalker comesout
part of the preorder bonus is the early access to endwalker
So I won't need the other code then?
Is there a easier way to level Healer other than Dungeon Spam?
It was exhausting keeping everyone healed in Holminster Switch
what's the command for ew launch date
!expansion
I dont understand the question, do you mean a code for shadowbringers, because if so then you can use it to have access to shadowbringers and stormblood now
Granted it was WHM but still
ok ty ty
Dungeon is the easiest short of MSQ. But Bojza and FATEs are alternative way if you're fed up with dungeons
I got two codes for pre ordering endwalker, one of them was for the pre order bonus and the other the main dlc. It doesn't let me enter the main dlc code in
because endwalker hasnt released yet
huh I only got 1 code in my email
You can only put in the full expansion code shortly after early access starts
Steam give you both
ah steam be weird
I think I just don't know how to manage my mp that's all
I keep forgetting lilies exist man....
And press thin air and the other thing that Regen mp on cooldown
Honestly same
I just spam holy and through out oGCDs
Tends to work
You get an aoe lily spell in ShB
I almost never use medica now
Just cast Regen on the tank and let them bleed
!skill afflatus rapture
I'm only lvl 71
1200 potency should be enough for them, if not they're greedy children
Just use a lily instead of cure 2
Tbf ShB levelling dungeons are nasty
That they are
For big pulls
Reminds me of lvl40 dungeons where going w2w is not always a good idea actually
Also I don't know why ASTs in ShB dungeons just don't heal. It's weird.
Heal spamming just feelsbadman
You kinda should when big pulls are done tho
Else, it's holy time
Deploying flashbang
I don't get this one
Red mage lb3 makes holys flashbang look like a match
Once per duty
I got all day baby 😎
Also WHM's flashbang actually stuns
So
Point to us
Holy is genuinely one of the best skills.
For now...
hi everyone how grindy is it to go through all of eurika storyline? im thinking of starting it before endwalker
I actually hate that holy 2 is going to be a flower
I should try to remember using lilies more
and is eureka a good place to level alts?
Though I always wanted a holy 2
Doable
No
Eureka gives no xp
There's no exp from eureka
Oh..
Imagine eureka as Bojza who sucks
We had hoh for that shit
can.. i use blu mag in eureka?
BLU only bozja/eureka
Gnb is pretty good but it doesn't matter that much
Can you imagine
red mage
just red mage
you have a heal, great damage and a rez
With the 150% echo your job doesn't matter that much
my red mage isnt leveling ah
MCH can burst down mobs quickly with Reassemble
What I did when I went to finish off eureka
And can kite
All the reasons why it's better than rdm in potd basically
Plus I believe it can use Bloodbath L when you get to pyros
how do i get the minekeep gear
gather collectables, turn them in for yellow scrips and buy it from the sundry vendor in ishgard
Is getting an entire +2 job set from eureka too time consuming?
I keep disconnecting with error 90002 is there a way i can fix it?
Is there a point to the hunt trains besides the nuts ?
Like achievements or something ?
Achievements and tomestones
There's mounts you can get from the achievements
Interesting
I'll look into that
Speaking of achievement mounts, how hard is DRS, relatively ?

hey is there a fast way to know what material to buy from grand company to resell on market or do i have to check every item myself ?
You can use https://universalis.app to check outside of the game
Note: it won't be real-time
Mechanically it's around an extreme...but the difficulty lies in thr amount of organisation (assigning people to bring required actions etc) and the Limited raise rule
thanks a lot !
Crafter and gatherers levelling guide ?
Yeah the whole lost actions strats thing I don't yet understand
I levelled GNB in Bojza and it felt like every choice was bad
And lost assass didn't work a single time. Angy
wat is this part
There's mechanics that require specific actions
Ontop of needing as much damage as possible
Spellforge/Sting for pieces...Reflect/dispel for basically every boss from pieced onwards except Awoved... Aethershields to mitigate damage from Avowed and Queen..arises to try and raise people etc
!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.
how do u get ethereal reduction to give you 60+ crystal
i always get 30+ even though the collectibility is 1k
lvl 60 mat?
What’s the average like ping supposed to@be?
can't be right ?
I think my world is like 400-1k usually
Lvl 60 collectible
i collected these https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Radiant_Lightning_Moraine
and i only got 30+ at 1k rating
Around 100 or so, 400-1k is bad ping 
less than 140 for most jobs for casual content
less than 120 for most job in harder content
less than 100 for mch, drk, double weave heavy jobs
but its say 50-70 tho
1-62 crystals, 1-44 clusters, that’s what the site said
the wiki could be wrong
Id need to see if it’s even my ping because yeah it’s usually 400 or so ms
wew
And coming from other games with like 10-30 ping to this is worrying but I don’t notice like any lag or bad delay

check yourself
accidentally missed a queue, how long to penalty points stay?
Oh that’s how I check ping?
until reset
Oh that’s hugely different
How did you check? 
if it’s just once, there’s no penalty afaik
I hovered over the connection icon in game
A week I think? So 3 strikes in a week and you get 30min penalty iirc
is there a way to check your current points?
when there is a penalty it’s half an hour
what are the endgame spells i should be getting as soon as possible for BLU? i assume surpanaka and white death
i am currently lacking any sort of "big" attack outside of tingle whistle triple trident atm
Nightbloom, song of Torment
i have song of torment
Primal stuff in general
how long does it take to level retainers
Oh and Aetherical mimicry
yep yep, have that
That's literally mandatory for any content really
i cleared all carnivale quests
Then just snag primal spells
im just missing the "unsoloable" content spells
Eruption, shock strike, phantom flurry, glass dance. Supraka, magic hammer, devour, j kick/quaser, Rose of destruction
Rams voice if you haven't to pair with Ultravibration
For dungeon clearing
ye ultravibration is basically the only broken tool i have atm
everything else is just not doing me any big favors damage wise
just broken CC
The stuff listed above is basically your main burst tools
Is there a guide or something that can help me set up my crossbar for paladin? I want to set it up already at level 30 to not have to forget muscle memory later, but i have no good idea of how it works at max level ...
- Mantra magic from learning 100 spells
Blues burst is just about jamming as much primal shit under moon flute and off guard as possible
With triple trident + Mantra magic
Probably with the right set up....Probably not J kick
Unsynced primal spells have bad drop rates
i'm struggling to understand if it's even worth it to attempt this stuff unsynced to begin with
Just make a party
ive been farming garuda extreme for 2 hours and have yet to drop feather rain
is this going to be faster for everything compared to spamming duties unsynced solo?
or are there some specific bosses / dungeons that can be soloed easily, like drowned city of skalla for instance
Well considering its just 1 run vs a untold amount
Maybe a bit stupid question so I apologize in advance. I finished MSQ, unlocked Eden savage raids and now I'd love to make some Gil. But all the guides out there assume I'm ready to invest tons of Gil first when I have like 50k lol. So where would I start ? I got mining on 33, fishing on 21 and Alchemy, Armorer both around 25
just do roulettes each day mostly
Easiest way
Dungeon gear > GC Seals > Glamour Prisms > Market board
sell the map you get each week from the journal
what do you mean by dungeon gear ?
gear from dungeons
No rates for anything is known... Other than its decently low
the map is always worth more than the vendor trash
You can also do Ishgard REstoration as a gatherer
Gather mats
Sell them on the market board
i cant sell them to market board
Dungeon gear into gc seals into prisms into market board
So buy prisms for seals and sell? Idk about the map where do I get that? Sorry I mostly focused on story so far
i see, if it was known to be like 5% learn rate for a primal spell then yeah i wouldn't even bother trying doing it solo
People have done like 100 runs and didn't get it
While others have done under 10
So rng is rng
i see
From wondrous tales
but synced is always 100% right?

Yes
Can also gather them every 18th hour once you get gatherer at ~80
I was wondering what IL you should be for the unreal trial stuff? Since I am at 510 and wanted to know if that was high enough
why would i buy and resell prisms when they sell for ~200g when lime sulphur is around 600g ?
Will sell a lot more consistently
Because people buy prisms
what is lime sulphur even for?
So prisms sell for 125 here. That's not much xD
Does anyone know what CUL desynth level you need to get Waterproof Cotton Cloth from Shriekers?
Does anyone know if i can still use the free trial after the starter edition month is over?
I'm not level 60 yet but cant login anymore
nope
no
rip, ok thanks
I’m trying to get the kirin mount. I have all the required mounts but the quest isn’t appearing? Do I need to do something else?
is one of them nightmare
are you sure you have all 5 ponies unlocked?
6
there are 6
nightmare is required?
and nightmare doesn't count
No
Yeah one of them is nightmare
then you missed one
Oh that doesn’t count?
nope
What element you missing
Dang, alright thanks guys! I got it from ifirit
Fire, water, earth, lightning, ice, wind
Shiva, garuda, levi, Titan, ifirit, ramuh
Thanks for the quick responses everyone 🙂
hey guys. I just made it to lvl 80 on my first character, on top of that im a total MMO noob, havent played one second of WoW or other games. but this game got me kinda hooked now. Im currently doing all the sidequests that unlock stuff, mainly unlocking all the trials/dungeons/raids etc. After MSQ i bought a full set of exarchic gear. My question is: what should i prioritize/do now? I wanna set myself up for endgame, is there stuff i definitely should be doing, maybe gathering jobs (which i completely ignored so far) or sth?
Or gear progression wise maybe
gear progression wise you can augment all your exarchic gear and meld it and you're basically ready for savage gear-wise
I see. I was thinking about farming the cryptlurker gear, to my understanding thats the best endgame set outside of edenmorn (which i probably wont be getting anytime soon since im way too new to do savage raids) ?
so here's the deal
Edenmorn + Cryptlurker + Relic weapon
