I see. I could bring it back to around 2.46 or 2.48 for a 20 ilvl loss
nah
nah, ilvl >>>> substats
since RDM 530 augmented crypt accessories are very SpS rich
and the lowest next thing I have is the aug crys gear at 520
what are ya progging anyways?
Honestly, not much lol
I just play casually and prog past Eden tiers and EX/Unreal fights once in a while
if you're not doing current extreme or savage content it doesn't really matter unless you like optimization for the sake of it
I just like big numbers yeah lol
yeah just grab the ilvl 530 set and roll with it
how often do the event fates appear?
Me and my friends are trying to get through E1S-E7S by the time EW arrives
for the dragon quest collab
think its every 20 mins?
Yeah around 10-15 min if I remember correctly
is there one that people usually go to? ive only been to empty locations lol
the 15 collab fate is around 15 min / fate
Is the BLU storyline good or important? Or can I just skip the cutscenes?

it's pretty average, IMO
it's not very long
its alright but its totally skippable
i do enjoy martin getting his ass kicked in every new blu expac lmao
It gives you some world building what lies west of eorzea
And you get some more uldah syndicate lore
What does this red part suppose to be?
They are all pieces that could substitute for each other
it could also be that more than 6 options were available, and it isn't on the list for brevity reasons
it isn't perfect either, last week or the week before, they listed the wrong DoH for a number of items
very
what should I do then?
hold on tight
you mean wait?
It's not too bad
so I'm kinda confuse about the armoire. Can any in game gear go in there? or just event gear from collab and such
Lvl 50 artifact gear and achievement gear
im jk its not bad
oh ok ty
Armoire is mainly story-exclusive, achievement, job quest exclusive, seasonal, and collab items
I see
is there any good website other than eorzeacollection to see all glamours ? eorzeacollection is not updated with latests patches :(
Hi guys, I'm having this issue where my cut scenes where voice acting is definitely present, sound distant/far/echo-y. I've read over 30 different reddit/forum threads on others having this exact issue but none of the "fixes" have been able to help me. The one thing I've seen as a common factor is to set your headphone/headset configuration to stereo from 5.1/7.1. But the thing is when I do the drop-down window for that selection in my configuration, there's only 7.1 as an option. So I think the sound is being set to some sort of surround where it's being played through a non-existent center speaker. If it helps, I'm using a blue yeti mic with wired apple earphones plugged in. The thing is, idk if it's just this scene at the end of 5.5 with Arenvald/Alphinaud, but there was voice acting in the quest with Tiamat last night when I was playing through.
If anyone could help me fix this I'd greatly appreciate it. ❤️
My armory inventory is constantly full, someone send halp plz 
I'm trying to keep dungeoning gear as I lvl my alt jobs but there's only so much space.
But won't I be under geared then in roulettes?
can i make a new account for trial and another one that i'll use for subscription, or is that not allowed
multiple accounts is perfectly fine
alrighty, thankies

can you make a macro to instantly leave a duty?
nope
My apologies for the constant help inquiries but my brother and I are trying to do the Tam-Tara dungeon as blue mages. Is there a way that we can do it together? It keeps telling me in the duty finder that requirements are not met. It says it’s doable with undersized parties (which we are). Is there a way to unsync?
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
Enable "Level Sync" too if you want to be synced down in level.
Thank you so much!!!
When I make a Samurai/Red Mage do I need to buy a 50lvl poetic gear or do I get one
it comes with some starting gear, but that is not nearly as good as the ironworks gear
so do get some
definitely
Also I will give a preemptive warning that the 50-60 RDM/SAM job quests are pretty overtuned and practically expect you to be in the best gear for their level.
Assuming you don't use the Easy/Very Easy options for a big echo boost.
It's weird, for some classes you do get a job quest where you got gear and for some you don't
Oh, alrighty
yeah the level 54 SAM quest and 60 RDM ones are the big offenders
how am I supposed to know if I already have a minion/mount? it doesn't say "already known" like in world of warcraft?
for untradable minions/mounts, the game flatout won't let you buy/roll on them again
for tradable ones, the game gives a warning that you already have it
You can also make use of tracking sites like https://ffxivcollect.com/
oh it gives you a warning okay! thank you!
cause I just bought some from the vendor that's worth 2k gill and I'll probably forget about it and see them again lol
if you install the plugin launcher, there's a plugin that adds information on whether you own the thing in the tooltip
Do I use allegories to upgrade cryptlurker gear?
I see, and as for the allegories, what are they used for aside from upgrading exarchic gear
crystarium gear
Allegories are basically lvl 80 poetics
They get you some basic gear and aren't limited weekly
buying crystarium gear and some crafting mats
crafting materials for exarchic gear and pots
crystarium is 490
How good is crystarium gear
one step below cryptlurker
It's "decent"
But that's it
No, it's straight up worthless
it's still useful for fresh 80s
What is the best way to spend it then
either upgrade exarchic or buy crafting mats to sell for gil
Exarchic is extremely cheap rn
Farming allegories for gear is kinda whatever
You cna probably boost yourself into dungeons and then nier raids with like 4-5 exarchic accessories after you get 430 job gear
Fresh 80s will have 0 allegory 
also not true
you get allegory at the same time as you get revelations most of the times
where can i use gold saucer tickets? Im not completely familiar with all the games in the gold saucer
you can't expect to immediately obtain full cryptlurker set, you'll have a ton of revelations in the meantime which you can use to get crystarium gear
i dont understand how that's a contorversial opinion
Such as?
Are we talking fresh 80s
Or 80 alt jobs
I am really short on gill
manufactured coins are from copied factory?
yes
you will get better gear than crystarium just by doing the msq dungeons, it's worthless
to upgrade cryptlurker you need one coin from each raid
so 3 coins per piece of gear
ah yes so i should do the msq dungeons in white craftables
i'm trying to augment deepshadow
yeah then just the factory coin
do people not understand the concept of gradual upgrades?
you get gradual upgrades via dungeons yes, it's a waste to spend allegory when you can get something better so easily
I can't tell what market prices are for your server, take a look at the vendor and compare them
2k allegory still equates to around 100k gil with the right mats
the allegory vendor in eulmore, should iirc be under the "other" category, the 20 allegory items are what sell easily
e1s drops no augment stuff
Is it possible to set an item as a macro icon?
is there a solution to fix this so the launcher will load without needed to wait for this option to pop?
Like if i want to set Coffee Biscuit as my Coffee Biscuit macro icon lol
use the alternative launcher instead
nope
the dx11?
!faq quicklauncher
If I make a save for PotD and solo up to 99 and die do I have to delete the save and start over if I want to reach 101?
amount of NPCs/PCs visible
is there another solution beside that?
has been happening to me since I went from 1080p to 2k
#technology-discussion might be able to help
well your hardware has to do more work now
my hw is insufficient for 2k then?
will try thanks
also, pretty sure "2k" resolution is 1080
Turn off:
Edge Smoothing
Realtime Reflections (Or Standard)
Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (Or Light)
Movement Physics on Enemies
Parallax Occlusion
Transparent Light Quality```
These settings also eat up a lot of FPS, if that's part of the issue.
2k is 1440p
I thought 2k was 1440, I mean qhd.
Also, main cities usually have lower frame rates due to the large amount of players
so depending on your computer specs it's simply unavoidable
for my computer personally it was the players too, character limit at low fixed that
check the list I made above and see if you have any of those options enabled
they eat up a lot of FPS for very little gain
I went from 19k in the endwalker benchmark to 13k.
well yeah, if you use higher resolution, that's just more stuff for your computer to handle

Do you have to complete the coils of bahamut b4 heavensward?
no
no, but you do have to do the crystal tower series
Okay tyvm
I didn't read >.>
For anyone who was playing during 5.0 launch: were the login queues, instance queues etc. better worse or the same than Stormblood?
wait
oh what, thought you already posted your benchmark result
@hoary citrus better once you got in game, but on day 1 (and only on day 1), my launcher cannot load correctly for the first few hours
Too many traffic
But everything else, as far as I can remember, was very pleasant
for BLU masquerade "Mastery of Fire" can i use unaspected and physical spells?
Thanks, I was unsubbed at the time and I'm trying to reassure a friend I brought to the game that her EW experience isn't gonna be unplayable
hmm that depends on a lot of factors
I remember 4.0 was rough
it was better than SB, mainly due to the fact they learned on a big fuckup they did for SB by putting a solo instance very early in the msq
you don't know her pc spec, her connection might have complication with her experience
@hoary citrus you won't get "I took 3 days off and the game is not playable for that 3 whole day"
5.0 didn't have a "Raubahn Extreme" since they learned their lesson from it, so 6.0 likely/hopefully won't have the same issue
though queue times will definitely be massive
and an actual queue
Another thing that's different than 5.0
XIV is noticeably more popular
So, you need to mentally prepare yourself
They've been stresstesting
That just means that XIV won't set it self on fire on launch, doesn't mean you will have instant queue
yeah there's another maintenance scheduled
hey i havent played for a moment but is the ff15 car back yet?
We don't even have instant qs normally everyday.
As long as the servers won't crash i don't mind waiting
U missed it
By a week
are you serious
Yea
You just missed it dude. Ended last week. I'm sorry.
i waited for that for so long
Event ended on the 18th
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
pray it will return in the future 😹
Oh it definitely will come back. We've had Yokai Watch how many times now? 🤣
Enough to make a sequel inside ffxiv
Where do I enter delubrum reginae? so that I dont lose my essence every time I queue for it again
self-answer: yes, you can use unaspected spells for Mastery of Fire for BLU
as in the actual dungeon entrance
with settings adjusted
you will always lose your essence after a run
oh
2560x1440 👀
Can I check somewhere which unlockable hairstyles are compatible with viera?
none of them currently are
none
oh

6.0 does look like some of the unlockable hairs will be usable on them
I've seen rumours that more will be available 6.0 but no explicit confirmation
since some job gear art with viera showed them with unlockable hairs used
have you seen wynne?
seen?
I don't know what's bothering me
I don't play on PC so I can't troubleshoot exact issues.
the first image is with the settings you told me the second in maximium
Im on free trial atm (just hit lvl 24). Do You think there will be new Complete Collection when Endwalker arrives? Idk if there is any point of buying complete collection now if I'll be able to buy it with Endwalker next month, and save some money. How was it working with previous expansions?
When the official launch date hits (november 23rd), these will happen:
Shadowbringers as a standalone expansion will no longer be buyable and unlisted from the SE store and Steam, as Endwalker will include Stormblood/Shadowbringers.
Complete Edition will be updated to include Endwalker for new purchases of it.
Buying the complete edition before the official launch date will not retroactively give you endwalker once official launch date hits.
So, I'm a trial player, And I am 880 Gil off of cap, What should I spend my Gil on? As to not be capped and just throwing it away for naught.
Always global
Alliance Raids have 3 bars, 1 per party, but is all consumed for a most powerful version of an LB
per alliance
so
If I am correct
Here's an example
I don't know if this guide is outdated or not, but u can try giving it a shot
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/iy165i/free_trial_player_here_is_a_guide_on_ways_to/
182 votes and 31 comments so far on Reddit
each party has their own LB
I thought if a healer uses LB when the 3 bars are full, it consumes all 3 to res everyone?
Yep
okey, thanks
Each party shares their own LB bar
Yeah, That's what I thought
yes, but not for the other parties. only your own.
Oh, I'm being thrown back and forth in confusion now lol
and it will only res people from your own party
Chirp is correct.
Party A has their own LB bar
Party B has their own LB bar
Party C has their own LB bar
That is why in Alliance raids you will frequently see three LB3s go off towards the end of final boss fights.
hm so 3 dif bar for each party
Ok, I just misunderstood the explanation of it in a video then lol
Oh, 3 bars per party?
per alliance
you'll need 8 people to get 3 bars
less than that, you'll get 1-2 bars
Ooooooooooooh, Mind has been restored
Don't think too hard about it
The other party's LB will never matter to u
just focus on your own
23 man healer clutch
Their Healer LB will only help them, it won't help u
now, if they choose to manually raise members of your party, that's great, but has nothing to do with LBs lol
PSA: raise healers in other alliances if both are dead
sometimes you'll get people with a raise who just keep doing their rotation and don't bother to check party list
So, for me this is a big question, does anyone know if they will add more housing? I mean even with the factor of FC housing there's still only 5760 plots to split among millions, wouldn't it be beneficial to make an algorithm that spawns a new instance every time a ward fills to create a new Ward?
Also.... Hi!
they are adding more housing in 6.1, in ishgard
6.1*
they are adding a new housing district in 6.1
What would be the best crafter gear I get could on free trial for a lvl 60 crafter? Is it the lvl 55 vendor gear and lvl 45 Accessoirs?
we also got new housing wards in 5.35
ty
Oh good, now just to unlock ishgard
ishgard isn't coming until 6.1, and they're adding new "raffle" wards then as well
Scrip gear maybe? if not, there should be a level 60 crafter's set from ishgard. costs around 250k for a whole set
I took into account for shigane
Also, it's limited by design because of the way the housing instances work. In theory generating more housing instances would make sense until you realise how much storage space would be required to host it for a game populated by multiple millions of people, even with restrictions on multi-house ownership.
Oh cool
Is the new feast mount 2 seater?
So unfortunately there will always be a massive gap between the amount of available housing and the amount of players.
housing is for the elite

Well kind of, you can make it phantom space like the devs for Warframe did for the "Dojo" every clan had a separate instance for the same space station that they customized for themselves
That's a different rendering system than storing an entire ward's worth of unique housing design.
Warframe and FFXIV function on 2 different server systems tho
The devs can afford to give each clan a dojo cuz instances are hosted by players
You can't go to the dojo area and see 30 different dojo exteriors with the option to potentially access the insides of them all.
There's an extreme amount of spaghetti code at work here.
Not saying your solution isn't functional. But it isn't functional inside this game design.
Oh I understand all that I was just hoping there was a way that's all
digital EXTREMEs
I have never done crafting yet, which crafting job would be fastest/easiest to level to 15? To get the "hide item" glamour set from the vendor?
The lottery system does seem to be an improvement on the current method, though.
I mean kind of, that system for Warframe was mean for literally hundreds of people at the same time with hundreds of rooms
Just because you're not walking outside and seeing it doesn't mean it's not there
All are basically the same difficulty to level 15
Disregarding CUL ofc cuz that doesn;t count for the quest
It's more about what you want to craft tbh. If you want to be able to craft your own accessories, go goldsmith. If you want to make magic damage weapons, go alchemy, weaver to repair robes n shit, etc.
You still get sort of a luck deal, but you don't have to stand around for hours wasting your time only for someone else to get it the nanosecond before you clicked
and you get your lottery ticket purchase refunded if you don't win
which is aces
That's cool
I'm not trying to ask any of this in any sort of malicious way or condescending tone I genuinely want to know these answers as a streamer
nodnod
Will the current augmented revelation gear be changed immediately when endwalker comes out or after a while?
I mean I played final Fantasy 1 day 1 cuz I just happened to go to the store that day with my parents and convince them to buy it for me
ffi kekw
The only reason I didn't get into final Fantasy 14 sooner is because I played it on console and I could not read anything for some odd reason and it kind of turned me off of it for a while and then I decided to give it a second chance on the PC when I finally got a good one and fell in love with it more than any other MMORPG
You can beat that game with more monks in your party than there are in ffxiv
What does it mean when a Blue Mage spell says "Enemy level must be a multiple of 5." ?
Uhm I need to meld some materia to a iron cross pein hammer for the blacksmithing quest and I have grade 2 matter but its saying I don't possess any meld able materia. What do I actually need?
the level of the enemy that you are hitting must be a multiple of 5, i.e 5, 10, 15, etc.
. = x
so it won't work if a mob is like level 46?
You need materia. dark matter is used to repair gear
nope
alright, thank you
Hiw do we check how many ranks we killed for like the mounts
Where do I get the materia????
As in the mounts that you get from hunts? you can find them in achievements. I think under the battle category, you might find a section called "the hunt"
from max spiritbond gear, or from the market board
Thanks
Is that the one for the triceratops mount
yes, you can find your progress in achievements --> battle --> the hunt then look for Shadowbring your A Game III and Shadowbring your S game III, click on them and it will show progress
I mistaken Pterodactyl with Triceratop >.>
yeah the pterodactyl is from firmament, tho it's incredibly hard to get
Thank you thank you appreciate it
Unknown for sure since the augmented thing for previous level caps being automatic happened with patch 5.3, but my hopeful guess is right with 6.0 launch
Hi guy! I just re looked at the 60svs63s rotation look on pld. Is there an sks that eliminates the need to skip 1 gcd for buff alignment?
Nope
Pain
So the different sks tiers on the balance bis is literally for comfort?
Usually forced downtime from mechanics makes it a non-issue
Thats true
Quick question, when leveling miner in diadem is it worth getting better gear? Im lvl 57 and noticed that I still have like level 8-10 gear xD
you mean you got to level 57 not replacing your gear at all?
gear matters very little in diadem levelling, you can level all the way to 80 without upgrading
You know what, you can get fisher to 70 with the beginner's fishing rod in under 30 minutes so yeah not suprised
any reasons to upgrade?
increase yields
i guess not.
only if you want the higher level items
when you actually do diadems for money and achievements, gears are important
doesn't matter if you just want exp
better yields sound good since I also want to make money there
Some gatherer quests require better gear for the perc and gather ratung, no?
Rating
Like you won't even be able to get HQ without perception
diadem does not have HQ items
for fisher post 70 yes sorta
I went into shb with the level 70 il290 set from kugane, like 50% of fish got away in a level 70-72 fishing zone
Well its pretty cheap on MB compared to what I earned so far so Im upgrading
Can you get the glowing weapons from PotD as Glamours?
yes
😮 how?
So what is the difference between a yellow aoe and the red aoe you see in some fights? (Like the final boss of Labirynth of the Ancients)
speak with one of the npcs around where you enter it
Oh, Also, Does PotD levels go above the 60 that's capped in trial? Or does it go higher up because it's a separate mode from the actual game?
As in, A trial player can go higher than 60 in PotD*
potd doesn't go above 60 period
It caps out at 60 for everyone
Ah and just so you know
Can you be more specific?
The red glowing ground aoes, I don't know how to describe them better lmao
ARR had some weirdness with the telegraphs, so "red" or "yellow" doesn't really explain what you're seeing.
usually it's just visual differences
But generally speaking, if it's on the ground, it's bad.
@neat patrol You only gain "real" Job experience at the end of 10 floors
the boss has cone aoes that look different but act the same as any other aoe
@open coral It also appears in Heavensward in The Vault's second boss
Unless it's blue, you could have a squad member miss their LB lol
I know, I played it, but only the first 20 floors so far
LBs aren't targeted on the party, so if you move out of a blue ground AoE it's not going to be a problem.
Just unnecessary movement.
but if the tank does 
Tank LB and Healer LB aren't targeted. They automatically affect all party members.
I mean, pulling a mob out of a DPS members AoE so it misses, as I almost did a couple times just by reflex to AoEs
They don't show up as a blue ground target.
that's... not what I said
if the tank moves mobs out of a ranged/caster lb it's going to be lost damage
Honestly the cast time on those is long enough that the dps doing the LB can cancel out before the dps is lost.
I've only ever used LB once, mostly because whenever I am a DPS, I forget it exists XD
And with very few exceptions, the dps loss from a missed LB is going to be minimal at best.

Whats the point in only being able to use glamour plates in big cities only?
probably just spaghetti code things 
No clue honestly
Some sort of technical limitations they didn't disclose to us
I suspect it has something to do with the same reason we can't have glamour dressers as a personal housing furniture item - too much data involved.
Good guess
Iirc it was something like our entire inventory and load out has to be loaded whenever we enter a new area
Some sort of upper limits on how much distinctive kind of data you can pull perhaps?
Poor memory handling
Does cooked fish give you HP?
I've seen a few videos of people using a raid style plugin, which does a text to speech or screen text warning for mechanics etc?
I used one raiding on EverQuest called GINA but I didn't think FFXIV would have one.
Is this a common thing for endgame raiding and ultimates etc?
The game has never been good with handling server memory
So if they were to enable glam plates outside major cities, the game would have to load our entire glam dresser and armoire into every instance
ACT triggers
People set them up manually if they want them
you can clear fights just fine without using them, it's not a necessity, but it is something people use
Ah I see, I was just curious if people used it often or not as it was a mandatory tool in my last MMO for Raid Prog
It is not mandatory
It's not mandatory
Thanks for the info
Yes very true
Plus they have to be manually made and all
I meant it was mandatory on my previous MMO, I know it's not in FF.
Thanks guys, was just curious if people used it or not
Yeah it's a ball ache I can imagine
It's a "use it if you feel lazy/kinda dumb" thing personally
People used it but it is nowhere near mandatory
Or as a reminder something os happening
If you're raiding in a static you're gonna have a Shotcaller/call outs anyway so
🥲
Memorizing mechanics > having ACT
memorising > raidcaller > ACT
are we ever going to get more glamour plates?
or is there a way to get more through 3rd party stuff
Probably not
it's something they want to work on, but not in the immediate future
Unless they improve how they handle server memory
damn thats annoying
Honestly I kind of think there's going to be an engine upgrade in 7.0
It would be a good spot to do it, after the end of the big arc
they do apparently plan to rework the glam plates system during the 6.x series though
15 plates for 18 and soon to be 20 combat jobs plus 11 more with crafters and gatherers
nice
Any inventory upgrade thing needs improvement to the server memory or how it deals with handling that data
Cause the game is infamous for having poor memory handling
alongside achievements and friends list
ideally 1 per combat, 1 for all crafters maybe, 1 for all gatherers, and maybe some random ones
Is there a place i can buy lv3 Materia? Only saw 4 and 5
would be nice if they could double the space to 30
hey guys i have a question is there any methode to check bonuses for nexus weapon farming?
Just a qusstion , In the ffxiv tsailsr did Louisoix teleport the team to ths future ??

is it possible to change his own square enix ID?
I need help, I logged in today and all my settings were reset, all my gear sets were gone
I'm still on the same computer, I don't know what the hell happened
Hey how long are the post Mt Gulg Cutscenes just curious
they're stored locally in C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV so either it got deleted or the game cant access it because of permissions like not running the game as admin
Is it possible to solo a level 80 dungeon like grand cosmos or heros gauntlet with an ilevel of about 520
no
not to mention you can't even enter it solo, as its level cap content
unless they changed that when they split undersized party from the unsync settings
paglithan is possible with WAR solo but you need the other 3 people to leave lol
can't enter 80 content undersized
i have no idea on how to get more powerfull gear since im already with the ones msq gives and allagan tomestones ones are weaker
am i missing something?
how do i get these poetics?
Thanks sigh
whats the vendor name?
Hismesa and bertana
nvm im just gonna talk with everyone
see the row of three bags in the middle
In the big centre building
go to them
okok
Hismesa for armour

where do i see these "270" and etc
Not 240
augmented shire
It's in DoW 2
Yes
m'lady
See "shire" and item level 270
In the name
Get the weapon first however since its the most important thing
Which is from bertana
nice
And ofc still do your job quests for mandatory skills
so shire is better than eikonic
Shire is the best level 60 gear there is.
this was all patch content gear during heavensward
Weapon > chestpiece/pants > helmet/gloves/boots > accessories
as the expansion went on, they added higher item level gear
an obviously prioritize whichever is the biggest upgrade in those
so if your chestpiece is 59
but you got 52 pants
get pants
After the weapon it's fine to just prioritize by lowest ilevel.
We just recommend chest/pants > helm/gloves/boots > accessories because that's most expensive to least expensive.
at level 70 youll be getting the scaevan gear through similar methods (same currency different vendor)
but scaevan in stormblood right?
Yes
Yes

ok
You have to complete the quest "Stormblood" in order to even have access to it.
You'll have plenty of poetics by that time
Don't rush it.
don't rush it
There's no reason to do that.
you're not going to miss out on anything
It's not like the content is going anywhere if you aren't into it on day 1
so i hope Stormblood gives me a new husband
And the community is rabid about protecting spoilers.
people are still doing pretty much every content in this game synced daily
I will say however
To turn off yell and shout chat when EW drops, until you finish the msq
You never know when a douchebag drops a big ol' spoilerino in the chat
And novice network
i turned shout chat off completely because it's filled with advertisements anyway
It's not worth spamming that for tomes
i got a spoiler about Heavensward ending like that
are you queueing for that dungeon in particular? use MSQ roulette instead for fat daily bonus
Terribly inefficient
yeah i need tomestones
😳
I had all of shb spoiled to me cause i was afk in gridania 
promptly forgot it, due to my shitty memory 
Just do any other 50 dungeon
you have a month to get those tomestones
Infinitely more time efficient
the only thing unique to the event is 100 tomestone jacket, which is like two weeks of daily msq roulette
the rest is quite easy to obtain by other methods
im gonna do amdapor keep then
Just make sure it drops the tomes lol
so if my settings arent in this folder
extract yo stuff
i'll need to redo them all manually, including my gear sets?

Is there a way to disable the cinematic from login screen?
Is it possible to change finally the square enix ID or to transfer his own character to a another account?
if i want leather worker or weaver etc to level 60-70 do i stormblood/shadowbringers to get access to the levels
disable? you mean when youre idle?
Don't sit on the login screen. Just go to character selection or something.
There is not.
You need to own the appropriate expansion for the level cap, yes. If you're on the free trial or only own the starter edition, then your level cap is 60 globally.
yes
yus but sometimes I launch the game and alt tab for a bit i forget, and i get startled by "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME" 😄
so i tab back
Not much you can do about that, I'm afraid.
yes thats fine
but the trailer just adds to the annoyance, its no big deal
just wondering if its possibnle
in about.... 27 days it'll change anyways
I have just made squire enix account and I cant use it after trying to get final fantasy 14
I can log in but when they ask me to do it again once I try to get free trail it doesnt work
Did you make a Mogstation account?
no squire enix account
You log into XIV using your Mogstation account, not a SE account. It's... a little complicated.
!faq mogstation
but this asks for squire enix ID and password
I know.
It's slightly misleading.
If you can't use the ID and password you created on that page, then you need to create an account there as well.
Are transfers from Aether (Cactaur) to Crystal free right now? Since it's the preferred server cluster or w/e?
how can i configure my keybinds so i hold one of my mouse buttons + a number
it wont let me add a number when i press the mouse button like it does when i hold ctrl or shift
yknow what i mean?
aether isn't congested
Ah, I see. I thought that's what the little red person icon meant on the Server Status page meant
I guess that only limits character creation on that server?
it's only that way during peak times
aka when a lot of people are on you can't create new characters
congested means you straight up cannot create a character on there until it's lifted
Pretty sure that's something you'd have to do in your mouse's onboard software.
How different is DRK from PLD?
ty
aaah i figured
PLD technically has 2 buff windows
Fight or Flight and Requiescat
DRK has no buff window, kinda just presses abilities on cooldown
Beyond that, they're both tanks
End of the day, all tanks play pretty similarly to each other. PLD and DRK are the most similar rotationally, imo.
You think?
gnb isn't exactly similar
Definitely
WAR feels very different to me.
PLD and GNB are outliers, but still similar because they're tanks
Huh, that's an interesting system. Thanks for the explanation!
The gameplay style overall is the same, but the way that you play them individually varies a lot
DRK has Delirium and oGCDs to keep up buffs
WAR has Inner Release and a third combo step to keep up buffs
Outside of Delirium and Inner Release, they both have a gauge to use up Fell Cleave / Bloodspiller
They're veeery similar
PLD and DRK are both primary mitigation tanks. WAR is more of an all-in berserker style.
GNB I don't know because I haven't touched it.
is it possible to prevent the Moonflute debuff from activating? It seems I can't recast Moonflute to refresh the duration of the buff
Nope
dang
It's a minor drawback for your stupidly insane burst
I'm guessing it's situational use
People just use it to continue channelling Phantom flurry
It's not really situational
It's your strongest burst
The damage you can get under it faaaar outweighs the debuff
Cause you know, ripping 20% hp off a raid boss is pretty good
Plus again if you use phantom flurry before the debuff has you keep channelling
Yeah you lose the last hit but you keep DPSing through the debuff
What's phantom flurry?
Suzuku's spell
oh
can I castrum lacus litore pop in Zadnor?
gotcha thanks
is pyros unlocked after lvl 35 quest or earlier like pagos was?
How long could it take to unlock and craft the Calfskin hat and jacket? I have yet to pursue any crafting/gathering jobs, but, seems like now I am set for Leatherworking being my first.
yeah those moon flute combo is insane 😹 I almost 1 shot those boss fates in the loch I remember
is this worth it?
lvl 35
aight
If you got nothing else to buy then sure
Maps can bring alot of money
so it's the lowest priority?
Especially with guaranteed portals
do you need it? get it 👀
Depends what you want from the event
mmmmmm okay ill grab those maps then but can you carry more than 1
Those maps cam stack
alright thanks a lot
If there a way to farm allied seals?
join SB 12xA hunt
the main way to get a TON really fast is blue mage stuff if you havent done any before
otherwise, hunts pretty much
allied seals are ARR hunts
but yeah, hunt
It's the gc
Tyty
Does food and squadron battle manual work in Bozja?
food does for sure
oh ye
Cause you're not getting mob kills
stats still count for food

what is the time between Castrum Lacus Litores?
yeah, just join busy instance and start joining CE/Fates
Can be like 20mins if people actively do CEs
nice 🙂
Ofc Ces themselves have a 1 hour Cooldown
is there any best way of getting company seals?
so far ive just gotten them from fates
also grand company hunting log
yeah i recently unlocked that
unfortunately i had sold all my excessive gear like 2 hours prior
Also GC turn in
with a logout inbetween
Get more gear lol
I have capped 300k gil (free trial) any suggestion on where to spend all this?
im stuck doing all these lvl 50 quests anyway
dungeons lvl 50+ tend to give equipment that gives a ton of seals
.

The current moogle event replaced it
And DQ collab kinda
does all gear of same slot and lvl give the same amount of company seals?
or should i prioritize gear with higher armor values
all gear of that level give the same amount of seals
so doesn't matter if its helm or accessories, if they're both ilv50 they will give same amount
oki
if you're using poetics to convert into seals, accessories are the best to buy
since they're cheapest
what is this aquapolis thing?
Dummies with a 3min timer
i was looking for some dungeon that was like PoTD but in HW
someone told me about it
and i forgot
Heaven on high
yeah
For stormblood
HoH
Potd was added in heavensward
ah so HoH is in SB?
You can unlock it after lvl 63 msq
RDM is very good for eureka and bozja especially if not running with a group you know right?
Just wondering if I should wait to finish my rdm before doing them ;-;
Ive been putting them off :(
I need help tonight is raid night but my sub expired, and it doesn't let me sub again, it gives me an error when trying to sub, I tried 3 times, took 3 euro off my card but still I have no sub. What do I do?
Is there a discord for treasure hunt? Where can i get a group of people doing the map from event? Or just PF only, it's weird because more people should be doing it but i see none in PF
They're farmable
Try buying Crysta and using that to pay instead?
@sharp forge for Eureka RDM is a bit faster but for sure not needed, especially now with echo buff u can do it with basically any class. For Bozja RDM is quite a lot better, but you stick w/ a class that has sustain (PLD, WHM, etc) u will be fine, although a bit slow
Ah okay tyvm
guys so ive recently just switched from PS4 To PC , controller to keyboard and i really love using keyboard and wanna learn rotations properly but its so frustrating and i feel like ive forgotten everything 
I play Paladin (Main), Dark Knight, Samurai and Gunbreaker
they are all level 80
ive done ShB (not post Shb yet)
can anyone tell me which class has the easiest rotation to learn in order from easiest to hardest? Just so i can know where to begin with again
I appreciate all the help thank you
how is the Condition on some of my items over 100%?
if you have crafters level and self-repair, it adds 100%+ to current condition
Self repair
so if you repair at 99%, it'll be 199%
ohhh neat, thanks!! c:
Samurai is likely the most flexible of the four, so you might want to start with one of the tanks first. it's probably personal preference~
if you want to start from the ground up, start a solo run through Palace of the Dead. you start at level 1 and gradually work your way up to 50 (60?), so you'll get to see your rotation and abilities evolve over time again c:
Ah okay thank you. So I guess ill start with Samurai then , just to learn 1 class at least and not feel so bad haha, then DK, GNB and Pala i guess

why does the game shows like 8 additional company ranks in this tab if you can't get them?
are they pvp or smf
Wait. the last one you can get is Captain?
Yes
weird
all the upper ones are non existant
If I had to guess they probably don't want you to outrank some npc?
It's just future proofing
It's easier to not add stuff then redo the whole ui to add new stuff
Do it once, not multiple times
Out of curiousity, does anyone know how much each item in fashion report is worth in points?
I didn't say And redo it
Cause cause it's easier to do one option rather than the other
What do you mean exactly? Can't you just follow the Fashion Report post?
Oh, maybe fashion report doesn't get posted in this Discord
Yes but the key word here is curiousity
For ex one of the hint items this week is the ash mask. How many points does that contribute to the fashion report score?
I’ve seena bot command floating round
Well, you could always do the fashion report with the ash mask out of curiosity
!fr
Hi all! I had BLU power leveled and need to complete 10 of the carnival fights for BLU event spamming. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what the 10 easiest fights are, if you don't have missile especially? (not guides, please I don't need linked to more guides lol, just pointed in the direction of the fights that will probably be easiest so I can look into those)
"takes the least skill" I guess lol I've got most of the non-raid and non-Hildebrand spells (I've been trying to get Dragon's Voice and it won't pop, but will continue trying to get that), and then just the Ifrit and Moogle primal spells
No Dragon's Voice does actually change some of my recommendations. Give me a sec to remember which fights are which.
I'm working on getting that, since it is so vital for a lot of things, so idk if assuming I have that would be better
Hello, does anyone know what emote this is by chance?
Can you put vendors in apartment rooms?
So it's just like house but small?
Basically
3 vendors
How do I put my retainer in my apartment? I don't mean summoning them with the bell. I'm talking about them always being out.
Hello all, I'm levelling BLU for the first time and I just hit lvl 50, whats the best way to level after 50?
Most of the fights in 1-15 are pretty easy and don't require a lot of high level spells. Mostly just patience. There's one where Dragon's Voice is really useful, but a lot are just like, cc the enemy and use the right type of spell damage.
Ah, cool, I'll focus on those, thanks!
I'd honestly say just start with fight #1 and go from there.
Since they don't have to be done in order, I wasn't sure if they changed in difficulty a lot
Which materia level can blue mages use?
6s at 70
that's VI ?
Yes
thanks
Nah, not really. There's a couple in the 21-31 that were pretty easy too, but to really cheese them it's helpful to have some of the spells that you need to clear a certain number of rounds to get in the first place like Moon Flute.
Hello all, I'm levelling BLU for the first time and I just hit lvl 50, whats the best way to level after 50? All the guides I've seen talk about having another person kill tagged mobs but that option isnt open to me.
Is there a benefit to buying the apartmanet instead of a house other then the price?
you can't lose your apartment
It doesn't get automatically demolished
house requires you to enter it atleast once every 45 days
I might afford the room now, or I can grind for days for a small house. I don't really know if the latter is gonna be worth it
If you don't have a friend to kill tagged mobs and power level you, your best option is to find an area that has mobs about 3 levels higher than you, and just go around killing them. Rinse and repeat until 66-ish, when you should find (or make) a group farming the caves in the northeastern part of the Lochs.
hello gamers! quick question
can i get started on my shb relic for gunbreaker even if i dont have it on lv.80 yet?
whats the mininum level requirement ill need?
80
You'll need GNB at 80 for the 80 relic.
But as long as the quest is open on some job you can get extra stuff
For when it is 80
^
i see! thank you
i just realized that my second question was obsolete bc i read the first one wrong aksh forgive me
either ill grind my way up to 80 then

If you have the quest steps open on other classes you can overcap the memories or other items.
As a prefarm
you can combine some of the farming with other relic farms, too, like beginning HW relic and the early ShB relic have fate locations in common
How do I unlock The Twinning? I finished the msq, but Bethena is nowhere to be seen.
Think its in the starting home of shb.
U know the place so i dont spoil people in case.
I mean, i'm standing in the place where the npc is in screenshots, but the npc isn't there.
Should be a blue quest in ||The Crystarium||
Checked the prerequisite quests?
Or that you haven't already picked up the quest without knowing?
No, I don't have the quest.
The wiki says the prerequisite quest is the last 5.0 quest
Did you just finish? sometimes I need to leave an area to have the unlock quests pop
I just finished 5.55

I found the npc, it looks like the npc stands in a different place when you accept the quest than where you turn it in.
Has anyone played through Steam Link? I'm wondering if its a better experience if I own FF14 through Steam or if its the same experience as natively linked.
well, it goes trough proton, so you should have the same experience as any
is there a graph of the zenits and the mountss? which boss can drop which?
problem i would be guessing if you have a standard sub and not steam sub
that could be a problem
Okay cool ty!
Is there a benefit to buying the apartmanet instead of a house other then the price? I might afford the room now, or I can grind for days for a small house. I don't really know if the latter is gonna be worth it
all extreme trials drop mounts, and the last raid of each savage raid tier drops a mount as well
How would one farm Gelmorran Potsherds? That is, PotD Shards
Open bronze chests
ok noob question here because expansions confuse the hell out of me
- buying endwalker includes all the other expansions right (but not arr/base game)
- and endwalker will be added to the complete edition after release right
Yes
But that's for people buying a complete edition. If you already bought the complete edition in the past you still have to buy endwalker
aight ty 🙏
So in rhalgars reach I noticed there’s a vendor that sells us augmented scaevan gear but there’s also a vendor that augments normal scaeven gear, was augmented gear released in a patch a bit after the regular ?
Buying with poetics is for non-current expansions
used to be that you couldn't directly buy the augmented version
Shadowbringers will have the same set up in a month
you had to, well... augment the normal version
Anyone know the name of The Twinning ost?
A Long fall
My friend is making a new character on a new server and he cannot join, it says that the server doesn't support new players at the moment, is it a state of the server for a longer time or he should just try again?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
What’s a good beginner melee dps to learn? I’m guessing Sam?
does anyone know when endwalker will get added to the complete edition bundle?
23rd
Dragoon, monk, Nin since they start at lvl 1
DRG is the simplest in my opinion
Monk has a lot of positionals that can be hectic to keep a track of while doing the correct rotation
Ninja is fairly easy to grasp up to level 60 for me, beyond that it gets a little tricky
Samurai is also easy to grasp the rotation of, but is really annoying to get back into the groove if you can't attack the boss for a few seconds
So yeah, DRG > SAM > NIN > MNK in simplicity imo
Samurai is probably harder in rotation execution but you don't have to worry about raid buffs like litany
so overall drg has a simpler rotation aside from aoe (have to refresh disembowel), but you have to pay much more attention to when to use lance charge, litany and sight
I mean, the DRG opener puts out all buffs within 2 gcds, and then they're just on cooldown
Really simple actually
2 or 3 gcds
Until you have to line them up again cause all 3 of em aren't aligned naturally
Hmmm ok thanks for the input y’all
Hi all! May I know how many favoured destinations can i set via the aetherytes, active help says 3, but I currently already have 4
is there an easy way to transfer saved markers from one character to another?
They are, because their cooldowns are on multiples of 60
Or wait, is Lance Charge 90
Yes
Works out though
45 is half of 90, 90 half of 180
Dragon Sight is the only outlier
And besides, it doesn't matter all that much
Just use them on cooldown
Yeah but they won't fall into buff windows every time they're up 
at least they're fixing that in ew

if you dont run savages and stuff using on cd is fine
what does this quest give/unlocks?
but it's bad practice
Lance Charge becoming 60
Litany 120
And LS getting 2 charges
thats' the Heavensward trials iirc
ah
cool trials
