No like, I died
And no, tank tree won't help lol
Does anyone know the name of this barding?
innocence barding
awesome tysm
can i unlock RDM, even though im currently doing the 2.x MSQ?
as far as i can tell you only need to be level 50 and own stormblood
or do i need to play stormblood to get far in this job?
the quest should start in ul dah, you should be able to take it
What's the difference between these two?
spiritbonded gear can have materia gained from it
retrieve just removes what you socketed
Can I do both +
well yes but retrieve will remove the materia you put on it
I see, thanks
Hi! I've been taking a break from ffxiv for about 2 months now and I really look forward to getting into it again. I stopped playing around the cutscene where we get to know that bahamut has awoken. What is the best way for me to get into the story again since I've forgotten a bit of what happened up until that point?
new game +
What is the highest item lvl I can get for these tokens?
Those are Allegory tokens
Allegory is 490
Upgradeable to 500
Ah that's neat.
Or is there a way to convert them into gil?
Also wondering, are any of the tokens going reset when the next expansion comes out?
Sell mats for money
allegory is also used to upgrade the crafted 510 gear to 520 as well
You mean to vendor or auction house?
Market board
What mats do I buy?
all of them will become poetics, and you'll start farming a new set
But if you got 2000 poetics, they will just go away, right?
4-to-1 ratio
I see, this is interesting, you mean the Exarchic ones you buy as 510 from Auction house?
yep
Ah cool, I can do that then
I probably asked before, but when uprading do you lose your materias inserted into the gear that is being upgraded?
Ah thanks
Can I extract materia from then and still turn them in to get an upgrade?
(not retrieve I did that already)
ye
Not sure what that means
it means it starts over
so it'll gain more spiritbond again
when it's at 100% again you can extract it again
I see, thanks :) So whenever something reaches 100% I should extract, and then repeat that process over again?
yep
Cool, it's like a minigame to use your gear as much as possible and keep extracting
is there any sort of website or plugin that shows up when a house is near "auction time" or already is on sale? just thought about this today
no, you'd have to have players actively tracking a couple hundred housing instances only to.. get themselves more competition in trying to buy the house?
If i use my job specific gear for glamour, how do i get them again?
items used as glamour dont disappear
thats kinda sad... ffxiv housing system is dumb
i mean, when EW comes the players that already have a house wont need to wait bc they can just relocate, right?
so they can ignore the invis timer
Yeah, o
oof
New plots for ishgard won't have a timer
oh wait, wdym?
I'm pretty sure. I hope i can get one before ew. Tried 15 plots so far
The timer is only put on previously owned plots
To prevent housing reselling
Or make it significantly harder
so players that already have houses will need to wait too?
i didnt get it mb
Relocating bypasses the timer if you own a house
Fresh created plots don't have a timer
Plots that were own before will
yeah, my friend woke up 5am and was clicking until now just to see some other player relocate the house he was triyn to buy
The housing system is being changed with ishgard housing
To add lottery wards and solo/fc only wards
oh so, when Ishgard houses release, its like
first one to get there wins?
and after all the houses are taken, when a player doesnt login for 45 days the house goes for auction again and then the timer comes?
In the Search for Omega, if I say "Let me know how it goes. I'm leaving," What happens?
Can trusts (T/H/DD) 3-man the tightrope DPS check in Dohn Mheg?
@solid garnet I had that happen a few times. I just dont even bother with some of the tier 1 spots because almost every time someone relocates. I just stick to shitty goblet plots and hope for the best
Does anyone know of a good groupfinder discord? I'm looking for a group to farm coils 2 for treasure trove tomes

hello guys, few months ago i played free trial on regular windows version through website, after that i purchased ff14+shadowbringers on steam, when i try to login through steam on my account it says license is not valid, and when i go to account to enter game code, steam is greyed out, what should i do? Thanks
Why is this piece of gear showing up even though the materia gems have been maxed out ?
are you tryin that since?
it's greyed
Yeah but the other ones disappear when they are full
overmeldable
What does that mean?
!faq overmelding
i guess its most RNG based but, would be nice to talk with other poor fella that dont have a house like me and my friend
So I've never been around for an expansion transition. What happens to the old time-locked tomestones of the curret expansion? Do they just 1:1 convert to Poetics with any over the 2000 cap being lost or?
I have a question for anyone here. Because I bought Shadowbringer Collection on PS4 but made a new account does everything still transfer over onto the new account or do you have to rebuy everything again?
You buy shadowbringers
There's 0 reasons to just buy stormblood
They purposely remove old expansions cause they bundle it into the new one
was hoping just stormblood would be cheaper, as i wont be playing shadowbringers for a while
though i guess i understand why they do it like that
oh, i see
I need help from somebody who is level 70+ botanist and is able to buy lvl 70 gear with scrips.. when I talk to rowenas representative it doesn't show the gatherer's gear
my country isnt listed on the SE store....?
2 quick questions. What healing class is the closer to WOW shaman love chain heal. Also can I only see the buff I put on my teammate or I need to see all of them?
do u think the stat squeeze will cause lvl 60 extreme raid to be impossible to solo with lvl 90 ?
Depends on how it goes and how good the echo buff is
(im in seventh astral era MSQ so no spoilers please just yes or no) will the guardian that i chose in the creation screen ever have any effect on the game?
then why did they even let us pick
again, rp flavor
is there any reward for collecting all the class soulstone?
no
yes
aight
If you’re willing to wait another 3 weeks, buying Endwalker will include both SB and ShB
i fucked up.... does SE support usually help with this?
Does anyone have an idea what would look better in game: High settings on 1920p or low-medium settings on 2560p?
Is it mandatory to use the dragonsong fishing rod to catch the petal shells and allagan hunters required for this step? It wasn't for the last one
If i remove someone from my friends do I get removed from their list too?
If u contact em quick enough they might help but its not guaranteed
nop
Oof..
just sent a ticket 🤞
have there been cases where they just apply the correct code to your account?
how do i decipher a treasure map?
Use the Decipher action either by right clicking on the item in your inventory or by using it in your general actions menu
Assuming, of course, that you’ve already done the archaeology unlock quest
oh i havent done that quest
Which is in Wineport
I assume it's not normal but I'm in a starting city getting used to the game. Is there supposed to be such a huge lag between interactions such as right-clicking quests or objects to interact with?
No
Interactions should be more or less immediate
Ok, must just be my connection then. Thanks!
all roulettes are once per day right?
do u lose anything if u switch between gc?
Correct
You have to rank up in the new GC, but your rank in your old GC is preserved
oh i see

any help? The id and password are correct, I even changed my password to double check. I can log into mogstation fine as well.
Are you trying to log in with your email or username?
Do you use the one time password?
username - and yes and the OTP is correct
If u are, resynch via the app and in worst case, I had this u might need to take it off for a moment
Yep, resync the app
The OTP occasionally desynchronizes with the server
What's the most efficient way of farming Loathsome Memories of the Dying?
when I changed the PW and log into the mogstation it asks for the OTP and took it fine
3 CLL
Ah... thanks
Spam Bozjan sourhern front for Castrum
yeah, it's a waiting game
So a matter of patience for it to spawn...
If you're good with leveling another job you can run syrcus tower
Its faster than CT and less boring
Ehh...wouldnt say not boring
@leaden ginkgo seals also don't carry over. All 3 companies uses different seals
So a newly created characters, the road to lvl 70 buff bonuses will continue for 90 days (including the day of creation) regardless of any change in World status (preferred) 
Turning off exitlag fixed it. Must be something wrong on their end atm.
you forfeit the ability to cancel when you claim the preorder bonus
its why they do their things with codes, if you havent revealed the code they can still refund you
https://i.imgur.com/tT5qOp9.png Is there a way to keep the 150% scaling while having my hotbars at 100% scaling (so my icons can be smaller than the 60% size)
go into hud->click the gear icon and change the individual scaling sizes of each thing
yeah 60% which is the smallest is too big
change high res back to 100%
i want it at 60% for 100% scaling just for hotbars
and scale other things up
oh
let me try that lawbringer, it's mainly just so I can read the settings menu
thanks i can live with 140% instead of 150% @regal pawn
Is there a way to remote play the game from one PC to a crappier laptop?
Not using steam
project using windows+p?
I don't suppose that'll work across a country? Lol
if it's not in the same house then lol I'm sorry

the steam implementation is laggy as hell whenever I tried it for supported games
Damn welp at least I have Xbox cloud games lol ty anyways
Is there an upgraded version of the drks weather shadow bringer that has a glow ?
is there like a major difference between the entry subscription and the standard subscription aside from character limit?
and can you do the entry subscription more than once?
standard allows you to buy multiple months at once, entry is month by month
so standard allows 1 mo, 3mo, or 6mo sub

yes
Are dungeons involved in the endgame at all outside of roulettes?
Other than speedrunners mostly no. You do dungeons to get augmented cryptlurker and then use that gear to clear Eden Savages
Apparently the terrain gave a team an advantage other the other
Use the mechs to your advantage in Rival Wings
CC to attack people, Oppress to kill towers, Brute for comebacks
There’s not even a point to killing it if you don’t have the hunt Mark
Hi there - So I already have the mount from being married, but my current partner wants it.
If she were to buy the platinum, would I need to buy it too for her to get it? Or can I just grab the standard one and she'll still get it?
Doesn’t the gold plan give the mount too?
both need platinum, if only 1 gets it and the other uses the free/cheaper one both get the cheaper/free one
In the event both you and your partner have different promise wristlets equipped, the wristlet of lesser value (standard < gold < platinum) will determine the service plan for both players when undertaking the quest "The Ties that Bind."
Okay perfect, thank you so much c:
i reached sch level 54 but the job quest is not showing under the msq
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
Is there any benefit to level squadron to 80?
squadron is capped at 60
the main purpose of raising squadrons is tbh getting captain for higher seal cap and the 1st lieutenant/captain glams
Why are linkshells unavailable?
did you travel to a diff world?
nevermind
yeah
lmao
just realized I logged off elseworld.
ty for re alization
Ah I'll find somewhere to level then
I thought command mission is a good place to level up lol
they're decent for 20-60
Hmm yeah, after 60 there are tons of options available. Thanks!
Barring Blue Mage, what are probably the best jobs to solo content?
Depends.
I did some quick math
they are identical at the higher amounts
but entry allows you to pay less if you pay monthly or tri-monthly
i do monthly so idc
if you wanna pay monthly and you end up paying monthly for 6 months, then you could have had standard at no extra fee
also since we can have every job on 1 character idk if ill ever need an alt
If you're talking level 80 class, then... pretty much any of them are fine until level 65-ish. After that it's not going to matter which class you are, you're going to struggle without a party.
(though, that also requires you to pay a huge amount of money after 6 months as opposed to slowly once every month)
i do single month payments
OK, thank you.
this also debunks the additional retainer theory
with just math
entry + additional retainer does not really save you any money
was a few conversations here about saving money that way in the past
at first even I believed it
until I did the math myself lol
additional retainers would never save you money
just basic logic looking at the fact that an additional retainer is 2$ a month, that's added onto your sub
I think the argument was since the entry plan saved you $2, you would then use that $2 to pay for an additional retainer
to break even
You don't tho
you don't as I just clearly outlined
How long does it usually take for Castrum in Bozja to respawn?
if you have an additional retainer
you're basically paying standard sub at that point
bingo
yes
But you have +1 retainer 
6 months of standard = 6 months of entry
the +1 retainer isn't saving you money
6 months of standard (with the deal) = 6 months of entry
6 months of entry with an additional retainer is more than 6 months of standard
assuming you get the 6 month one
Can you run Skalla solo at lvl 80?
Doubt it
The drops is testing my patience
yes
Basically any?
How long?
Skalla's what, 70?
any with self heals
How long?
pld, war, rdm
Skalla's what, 70?
How long?
It'll vary by class.
why are you running Skalla?
It'll vary by class.
for the glamour?
28 mins was my average.
personally i wouldn't solo
personally i wouldn't solo
unless your queues for it are super long, cos you're going to be slower than a regular party
Unless you do it as a blue
since blue can do stupid stuff
if you do it as a non blue, you're looking at like 20mins~ + solo
"the larger fish" part?
so every fish, when caught, has a size to it. if you're doing collectable fishing
your collectability rating is based on size
Oh that respect of 'larger'
So bigger fish, higher collectability
newp
Got a quick question regarding purchasing. My brother is currently on the free trial, about to finish post ARR content. If he buys the standard ShB edition which comes with SB and activates the code, since he is then subbed and no longer on the trial, that wont lock him out of HW will it?
no, but buying shb on its own will do nothing for him
He still needs to buy starter edition, so if he's looking to upgrade he should buy complete
He won't even be able to apply the ShB code to his account without the Starter Edition already registered, afaik
Ahh okay
Is there a "gifting" system? Or if I wanted to gift him the game do I just send him the key after buying?
Just send him the key
Got it, thanks!
And your RAF code
He will still get the free 30 days right? Even if hes been on a trial account?
I was wondering where are some good places to ask for lfg or something? As in stuff like, BLU leveling. since I was looking to try and pay off/trade off items for assistance with it since nobody is doing it rn
For leveling, not really.
For spells, you can just make a PF for each spell you want.
Thank you. And lastly: I can just get the code, and then hold it until he is ready? Or does it "expire"?
Try party finder
Sorry, Ive been playing for years but never had to go through the buying process for someone else lol
I will try to use it, though, just gotta figure out what prices they're looking for really lol, since most expensive things I got are glamours from level 80 crafter stuff lol
The only codes that "expire" are preorder codes. You should be able to hold a purchased code for as long as you need to (although there may be a limit - but it would be in excess of 12 months, I would imagine)
Okay, perfect.
does a wait line in a macro reflect seconds or ticks?
so I'm leveling my second job (dark knight) what is the best way to gain levels?
!faq altlevelguide
23rd
18th
The launch is the last day
for context, attempting to write a macro which counts up from 1 second, for fishing purposes
Seconds
Sure
Roger. TY.
Wait, since the EW preorder includes SB and ShB, would it not make more sense to get the starter and EW preorder, instead of the complete edition?
EW preorder gives you nothing currently, fyi
Yeah, I guess if he blows through HW before the 28th then hes kind of stuck lol
25 days
Well, Im talking about getting it for someone who is just now at the tail-end of 2.4 ha
Then again, he started 2.0 like...two weeks ago
I mean, if he's still in ARR, you could just wait until EW release and buy the Complete Edition, which will then also include EW
i mean hell, push comes to shove tell the dude to fish for a week
it depends on the pacing
Just have him stay on free trial until the 23rd
if he wont beat HW by EW release, yes that is very wise
Thats the thing, he very well might lol. He has gone from starting the trial to the end of post-ARR in about two weeks
And I was going to get him the rest of the expacs as a gift once he gets to HW
i need some help, im following this guide for interactive UI. However, some icon pics dont show up in the macro. For example, /micon “Flying Mount Roulette” doesnt seem to work. Is there another command that will display the icon in the macro?
hmm ok i guess this guide is outdated
Yeah it got removed like 2 patches ago
I would also wonder why you're making a macro including that particular action rather than just... putting it on your hotbar.
To say "mount up !" every time they summon a mount
that was just an example but im following a guide
I see
mostly its so it can show up on a clickable hotbar
But yeah, basically the /micon command will only work with currently valid action names.
you can click and drag it onto a hotbar,
I realized that I forgot to explain which hotbars are shared and which ones are not. Sorry, it slipped my mind! The only shared hotbars are 8, 9, and 10.

Oh wow, that's really old.
TP bar is still a thing there lol
Yeah, it's almost two entire expansions out of date.
yh thats what im trying to adapt but it has probably one of the easiest guides to understand
don't use it
Use a class to make a hotbar
Make a macro to copy that hotbar onto a different one and toggle it on
it's too outdated
Is there any visual or audio indicator when you actually hit positionals? (Other than actually seeing higher dmg numbers)
While it's outdated, idea still holds
Nope.
As long as the skill goes through when you're on the correct spot, you hit it
Certain skill you can see (Such as samurai's kenki gauge going up by 10 instead of 5 when you hit it)
For what do I use Tomes of Allegory? I'm already 80 and got gear.
Do we have any idea what names are like for male viera? Will they be releasing that any time before Endwalker, or do we have to wait and see?
probably follow the same naming convention as female viera
Yes there is, that's not correct
With the exception of MNK and non-combo based positionals, the audio pop usually reserved for 'in a combo' plays instead when it is done as a positional
iirc the female viera was release shortly before shb launch
if you use Gekko or Kasha or Aeolian Edge for example without positional, you will not hear the noise pop
so might get an update to the post on the OF before ew launch

Isn't that just because they are in a combo, though? Not because the positional was hit correctly?
No. Try it and you'll see.
Ridiculously obvious with aeolian edge
What are Allagan Platinum Piece use for
vendor fodder
So just to sell?
ye
ok thanks
I know this based on my own personal decision, but would it be wise for me to complete the story first, and then do optional content? I am unsure if I should continue with my plan of finishing story first or not, especially since endwalker is almost released. I am on shadow bringers btw
Another question if you buy a job boost how do you get the class gears
50/70 gear from calamity salvager
60 gear via centurio seals in the forgotten knight
Where can i find calamity salvager?
Any main city
For which level is PoTD efficient?
Hey! I have FFXIV Complete Edition on PS5 + preordered Endwalker. A friend recently gifted me an Endwalker code for PC (not Steam), but code appears as invalid everywhere I try. Just to know, do I need to wait for EW to come out before I can input the code?
I imagine this is a really dumb question but I need to find out what's up. On SCH my Energy Drain ability never lights up for use? Is there something I am missing that allows it to work?
I don't want to queue for any dungeons if I can't get my Aetherflow to work. 😛
Do you have the base game for PC?
Do your job quests
@faint flareWas that for my question?
Yes
I got the ability at Level 45 and my job quests are caught up until level 60. It still doesnt work
You need SCH Aetherflow for Energy Drain to work, and you don't get that unless you're higher level. If you're being synced down under Aetherflow (SCH) level, then you won't be able to use Aetherflow abilities
Energy Drain works differently between SCH and SMN
I cant get stacks without the Energy Drain to work. I'm not in any dungeon. Just in general it doesnt light up for me to actually use it.
!action Aetherflow
on SMN it gives aetherflow, on SCH it costs aetherflow, so on SCH you have to use the ability called Aetherflow
And you can only use Aetherflow when in combat
The restrictions are:
1.) Be level 45 SCH
2.) Be in combat
3.) Have Aetherflow stacks
If any one of those are not met, you won't be able to use Energy Drain.
Okay I understand it now. I see the Aetherflow ability.
Thanks. I will give it a shot.
It can be confusing that Energy Drain has the same icon and name, but do opposite things between SMN and SCH. I know its an additional effect granted by the job, but still
Maybe I will stick with AST for shields until Sage is released. LOL
It feel clunky on SCH.
Yeah, thats a pretty common complaint with SCH
Just seems like a lot of unnecessary key presses.
ah sorry, no i dont
That's why you can't use the EW code then.
Ohh ok, was confused bc I thought that by "includes every expansion" arr was also included.
No. That's why there's the "Starter Edition" and the "Complete Edition"
Every expansion after Heavensward
Starter Edition is ARR and HW. ShB (and EW when it releases) are everything from SB onwards.
Oh ok so basically > buy Starter Edition > Input EW code > profit
Yes
You still have to wait 20 days
I wont be able to play w my acc on PC until EW releases anyway right
Although you won't be able to access SB or ShB zones on PC until after EW releases.
Oh wait so I can access base ARR + HW on pc but still use like all my gear etc as long as I'm in those areas? Just not doing any content past HW
Yes. Once you've registered the Starter Edition
What is the best way to far raw emotions for the blade weapon? Ty!
However any characters in SB or ShB areas you simply won't be able to log on.
I think it applies to classes over 60 as well, but I'm not 100% positive about that.
I've never tried registering an incomplete version of the game while owning the complete game on a different platform.
For raws I'd check on dal and do DR speedruns in the meantime
Ye no worries it's not something you see often
I had a slow run on DR. As for Dal, it spawns quite slowly for some reason recently.....
But ty.
i'm unclear on how you get more people in your squadron
Complete challenge log entries
Then check the papers on the table in your barracks to see if you have recruits
you get a notification after you complete a challenge log that you have papers waiting for you at your barracks
question, so since i dont have edernmorn armor for the crit bis, should i keep using my 520 yorha for crit… instead of using 530 crypt, drop like 400~ crit for det… and maybe some extra defense
gnb btw
i have about 3.9k crit atm
Honestly with 3 weeks remaining until EW, unless you're doing last minute Savage pushes, BiS doesn't matter.
Just go Augmented Crypt

i havent even started e12s prog so, im just using yorha atm
i supposed i can skip the bis then
am i looking at the correct place? where is the ultimas bane? (minster ballad)
ARR trials
what do I use the proto armor id key for?
It's for a sylph beast tribe daily
what does "sanction" on gear mean?
In what context?
Oh, on GC armor
GC sells sanction scrolls
If you use them, they give you the stats listed
but only when wearing the gear
which frankly, is kinda shit
can you use zeta replicas for hw 1st step?
makes sense, thanks
not exactly sure where to ask this, but how common is it to receive phishing links through tells in-game?
Much less common than it once was.
just received one. are they RMT reportable, or do i just blacklist and ignore them?
RMT reportable.
Hi I'm a newbie to the game & on the Renewing the Covenant Quest and I can't seem to find the monoa mask? not sure if i am being really dumb but i don't know where it is or how to equip?
It's a headgear
If you go into your character profile or Armory, it will be in the head equipment section.
OMG i am sooo dumb 😂 ty so much found it 😊
hi im new and i was wondering can you ever outlevel raids? or can you go back whenever and have your character scaled back or whatever if you still want to go back and do them
The default way to do content is synced
You can outlevel any content if you go in as an "undersized party". However synced to the maximum level for the content is the standard.
ok thats good to hear ty, bc i came from wow and it was way different there lol
Yeah. This ain't like WoW.
thank god
You will always have people to do content with, even if it's super low level.
Is the Eden mount only from E12?
They did it that way because the majority of dungeons are required for the story, and the story is required period
E12S, yes.
Ah rip, thank ya.
Would I have time to get my level 37 paladin to level 70 before EW?
@atomic jewel ye
well, lets ask - how much time do you have and is this your first job?
if it's your first job just power through msq
It's an alt job, I already have a DRK at 80
I do have school on weekdays though
Swag
are those bronze/silver/gold pieces you get from quests worth picking?
or should one just go for the armor
whats this command? or how do i use it
it's using emote text
/em
if you type /em and then words it'll phrase it as "Character name whatever you type" but in that color of text so it looks like an emote
ooh i see, thanks :)
Is there any difference between silver circlet aquamarine and teh other gemstone one
Wdym?
i think the silver circlett (aquamarine) and silver circet (amethyst or smthn) have the same stats and price
why are they a seperate item?
Different gem, that’s it
hmm usually it is different main stats
amethyst is generally dex
aquamarine is usually mind
but not always
can you get the 60k mgp for every attempt @ fashion report?
any point in using up the remaining 3 attempts?
Not really
tyty
Anyone here playing on a PS5 and using a 4K monitor? If so, how does the WQHD option look on that monitor?
what is this blue ball for?
Unless you want to go for the 100 points, but you only really need to do that once ever.
It's a sightseeing point.
Stand on it and emote /lookout
okay thank you!
Others may require other emotes like /sit or /pray
I'm playing on a 4K TV and it looks fine, not sure about a monitor though
I was trying to lvl my alts but I keep getting stuck at lvl 50. Any advice?
I'm trying to avoid potd, but I can't get gear with high enough ilvl to do dungeons.
poetics gear.
Ironworks, job quest?
I'm out of poetics.
then get more
the job quest should give you a full set of i90 gear

!faq poetics
which is enough to do every ARR dungeon, minus one
and do your job quests.
I'm trying to do hw dungeons though.
what is your current item level?
Did you do your job quests
89
can you show me a screen shot of your equipment screen
or a link to your lodestone profile
because it sounds like you had a gearing mistake somewhere
The job quest gear alone isn't enough for arr
Also just making sure. You are using gear for that role, correct?
which is why I wanna check and see, their lower item level suggests they are missing accessories and weapon
all of which can be remedied quite easily
ribbon of slaying
Yep accessories
all your accessories need to go.
Using brand new ring as a lvl 50
yeah you need to replace all your accessories with ironworks casting ones
and your belt as well
and you will be up to snuff easily
you can get them from Mor Dhona
Doesn't red mage give u a full set of Decent gear
I 115 for the left side
at Level 60
only gives left side
Oh ye
Still need accessories
there is no artifact Level 50 set for RDM as far as I am aware
you get a "starter" set
yeah, I think those are 110 right?
115
not bad
as fuil said
How can I farm poetics for accesories?
Frontline is also an option if you like PvP
You don’t get poetics from frontline
tell that to me capping on poetics every day lol
Do literally any 50/60/70 content
Okay then, ty
pvp goes gives all 3 tomestones
yup
assuming you queue as a lv80
it also gives the new moogle tome
Btw does clearing defraud regina and castrum litorae the first time grant extra mettle?
No
Wait, frontline roulette doesn’t give extra tomes. That’s what I was thinking about
Is this the right place to be asking troubleshooting questions, too?
Apologies if this isnt the correct channel for this, but I was hoping if anyone on Aether is able to help level my BLU from 60 to 70?
i'm just gonna ask and hope someone answers anyway; my brother is having issues launching the game, it'll open and he'll get the launcher and then it stops loading, and he cant launch the game, it's whitelisted on the AV and the firewall, dunno what else there is to do about that
Trying to level my other jobs through 71-80 in Bozja and was just wondering: does it whether I do fates and ce's in Southern Front or Zadnor? Havent reached Zadnor zone 3 yet, but would it actually be faster than Southern Front xp wise?
Zadnor is better, afaik.
Alright, so it doesn't really matter unless I want mettle to continue Zadnor. Thanks
Are the items you can craft with mats from bosses the same ones you can buy with the boss currency from Rowena?
What stats do I want on a SAM? I feel like Skill Speed doesn't give much than 0.05 seconds more, I am mixing with Critt ofc.
Should I go Crit + Determination or Crit and Direct Hit?
SAM is SkS to tier, then Crit > DH > Det iirc.
The Balance discord has breakdowns for all classes.
my sound just broke in the game, cant hear anying
also now super laggy, do i need to reset my game
if you queue a roulette, you can't queue a single duty in addition to it
It sounds like you need to restart your computer.
Do I need to worry about doing crafting job quests for new skills after level 15, or can I ignore them until after I finish leveling?
Job quests are important.
ignore them for now, but eventually you want to finish doh quests up through 65 for manipulation.
OK, thank you
I could have sworn that even DoH job quests gave more abilities at higher levels.
because it's a roulette in all but name.
no, literally only one ability you need. manipulation.
lol
it's immensely easier to do if you just max it out and then go back and craft everything at once
It seems like that you get damage when the telegraph of an ability ends and you're still standing in it, regardless of the actual animation, is that correct?
Yes
Hey guys, very random question but does anyone know how often the expansions go on sale on steam? Is it usually a few times a year? Or is it rare to see
Steam sales are significantly less frequent than SE store sales.
and its asking for my address despite it being a pc download?
Yes. That's normal.
Will they be mailing me a disc for the pc download or?
Oh ok
So what will happen next
Im just making sure in general that i have access to endwalker : P
No, they just use a single billing system for both physical and download content, so an address is required. Also for sales tax purposes.
you'll get a pre-order goodies code in your email
it's just confirming billing address.
Oh ok
You'll get an email with your code once you've completed the purchase. That's all.
Then fuck it lets continue pre ordering Endwalker shall we 🙂
around the time EW comes out (i think like early access to actual release) you'll be emailed the actual code
If I wanted to become a red battle mage which class should I choose in beginning so I’m close to it
any
any
RDM shares all gear but weapons with the other spellcaster dps classes, so THM or ACN would be good choices if you don't want to have to get other gear.
But RDM has no other prerequisite.
Than owning Stormblood.
And being level 50 with any other class.
Assuming you have shadowbringers/complete edition so you can get RDM
By the time you get to the level of RDM (50), you'll be in the place it starts in
and the gear thing is kinda whatever tbh
why cant my chocobo learn second ability it says i need to unlearn one first but i only have 1 abitlity
arent u supposed to have after lvl10
Cause you'll hit 50 before you can even buy tomestone gear
Not enough points?
Can I get Raw Emtoions for Dalriada if I'm still on the part where I need to collect the 6x30 items?
no
also another question
ty
You can only collect mats if you have the quest active
When pre ordering something(this is the first time im ever pre ordering something) does it charge your card now or later?
You have to use Thavnarian Onions to get your chocobo over rank 10. You get 10-12 points per level from 11-20.
Cuz i only got money for EW now
later, unless you choose otherwise
pre-order for EW was immediate, and they gave an earring for it
You can go to your orders page and hit debit now
what my chocobo is rank24 already

Unless they mean racing chocobo
Oh, that's something I didn't consider.
But it’s still not a question
is the experience in gathering based on the level of the node, or the level of the item being gathered?
No, they'd asked about chocobo skills:
why cant my chocobo learn second ability it says i need to unlearn one first but i only have 1 abitlity
ofc im talking about racing chocobo
If it's for racing chocobos, wouldn't you need to get more abilities through covering?
ah
Is there anything to do with the Irregular Tomestones of Pageantry at the moment?
No, that event is over.
Ah alright, since I had some saved up since I didn’t use them.
Didn’t miss anything tho, just some extras
The event page explicitly said they'll be useless after
Leveling from 71-80, which is faster for XP? Bozjan or Zadnor?
they give the same amount of exp
I see
!action High Voltage
Deals lightning damage to all nearby enemies with a potency of 180 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Paralysis
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Potency increased to 220 when target is afflicted with Dropsy
Additional Effect: Duration of Paralysis is increased to 30 seconds when target is afflicted with Dropsy
An industrial form of machina-based aetherial manipulation developed and adapted by the Allagan Empire. Through the compression of ambient lightning-aspected aether, the caster (or casting machina) floods the vicinity with highly charged arcs of electricity.
ADS / The Binding Coil of Bahamut T1
Bestial Node / Masked Carnivale #15
Type: Magic
Aspect: Lightning
Rank: 4
Is there a way to inflict Dropsy?
noob here, best way to quickly level an alt? i want to get sam to 71 (currently 52)
Aqua breath
Is there a way to know if a gathering item has no HQ counterpart?
The HQ chance doesn’t exist
When I use Preparation?
Can Blue mages put lvl 80 glamors on?
No, they’re lvl 70
😦 Thats fckd up
They will next expansion
After maxing a beast tribe rep it said I gain more exp when doing their daily missions now. How much more exp do you get?
if i want to buy the full game of FF14 would i need to buy the standard edition and still buy a subscription along with it?
You get 30 free days by registering the starter edition or complete edition
question, i heard i unlock new glam when i get alt job to max lv? which is 80, i have multiple lv80 jobs now… where this new glam
Did you do your job quests
am i allowed to post pictures in here for help as well?
No they give gear specifically for that job at certain lvl caps
there's crowns for specific caps
like, tank jobs or very specific gnb vs drk
Specifically for that job
am i dumb or are the prices actually like this for the sub prices?
so theres really no point in leveling alt for glam then
not a collector on mount and title, now im kinda disappointed
also once endwalker comes out will the complete edition of ff14 increase since its adding the expasion to the product?
Psychic bird
price*
has "exclusive" music (the music is only on the amarokeep travel in SHB)
that look like seaweed after gaining sanity
nah
afaik
Price will stay the same
Cause it's still Starter edition + Expansion
so rn the price is like £34 and it will remain the same?
Yes
dam
The prices never goes up
cos if u get endwalker you HAVE to also have the previous exp
well, no 
It comes with them
ah wait, misunderstanding 
What's the cooldown on spawing certain CEs/Fates that lead into ces?
trying to spawn hypertuned havoc when I can because I need the field notes from that fight
Can i use a pre paid visa gift card to renew my subscription on the mogstation?
An hour
When I quest has a downward pointing arrow next to the level, what does that mean?
Quest sync
It syncs to your level
To a point
Mostly seen on beast tribes and shadowbringers side quests
Isn't there a blue mage roulette ?
No
fak lol
thanks
The most 'roulette' thing it has
Is a weekly featured content
Where they feature one normal dungeon/trial/raid
And one EX/Savage thing
So you have a weekly 'goal' that some other people might do to fill out their blue Logs
how would yall suggest going about gathering crystals?
don't and send out your retainers to do it for you
or just make gil and buy them off the mb
Does anyone know what torso gear this is?
Pvp eh? Thanks.
Is it still possible to job switch to level up blue mage ? (killing an enemy with higher level job and swapping to blu as the enemy dies) i'm finding contradictory answers online
No. They broke that within the first couple of months of BLU existing.
Oh okay, thank you

Quick question, is Reaper confirmed to share a set with dragoon (maiming gear)
Anyone can guide me to a discord server for DR Savage in Light Data center?
Yes
Yes
I’m looking to buy gear in advance for reaper
Yes, RPR is confirmed to share gear with DRG
do i need to clear upto floor 50 in palace of the dead if I wanna start from 51
Yes
ok ty
seen a video that said i can level my actual level to 50 if i spam floors 51-60
Hey guys! Anyone know if there are any player ran housing events coming up for Halloween?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
There are a number of player-run housing events if that's what you mean.
check limsa shout chat
There's never any official housing events though, if that's what you're looking for.
I know one of the big hunt linkshells on Aether is doing a trick-or-treat event.
I managed to stumble across the nightclub scene not long ago and thought there must be something happening around halloween haha
I mean, there probably is. but you have to find it yourself.
They'll usually advertise the public ones in /shout chat in major cities day-of.
Ah right so there's no staple way to find out. Thanks!
anything I can do to get the last 300k without doing a dungeon
Beast Tribes?
beast tribes
And FATEs?
oh i havent been doing beast tribes, they give lots of exp?
They give... some
lopl
ARR, HW, and SB ones aren't worth much individually. It's really just the pixies in ShB (requiring 70+) that give a lot daily.
56 would be... hmm, Dravania, maybe?
Outside Idyllshire?
It's either there, or the Churning Mists.
I can never remember for sure though.
Alright I'll check those out, thanks!
Does anyone here have a zowie mouse? I'm having trouble trying to bind mouse 5 and other number keys for my hotbar
Does Menphinas earring work in dungeons/raid/trails or only overworld Mobs?
It works anywhere you kill enemies, but only on xp earned from killing enemies.
Maybe try in #technology-discussion ? I can't say I've ever heard of a zowie mouse...
@open coral okay, thank you very much. Have a great day. 😎
What do i do after hitting 2nd flame lieutenant
im maxed out on seals and says no more promotions
You'll need to level up your squadron in order to achieve 1st lieutenant and captain ranks
ah gotcha ty
I like warrior at 60 but does it get boring because I want to main it for EW
It really does feel pretty samey past lv 60 all the way up to 80. The endwalker changes look very nice but IMO warrior is a pretty boring but very effective job
Hopefully end walker breaths that much needed flair into warrior
ah should I just go play dragoon instead
drg is fun but be prepared to die a lot cause of jump animation locks
Btw
Max out warrior and go through end walker with it cause dps queues are always mega dumb on expansion releases that’s why I typically take a tank through the expansion
Then play dragoon as your main
Will we get 100% armory bonus for ew in bozja?
i do really like warrior though
Warrior really shines at 74 when you get nascent flash

Alas
Finally getting balanced in EW 
So basically, a few months ago i started as a tank on chaos. I stopped playing. A few weeks later i factory reset my pc. Some weeks after that i reinstall. It plays the intro cut scene and asks for me to choose a server. I choose light as my server. My old character is gone. I dont mind since i wanted a reset. However, heres my question: had i chosen chaos would my old character still be there? I want to know what to do in future in case i change device or something similar.
Cool
Same square enix account
Resetting your PC wouldn't have reset your game account.
So I'll level twice as fast in bozja
If you go to chaos it's still there
It just played the opening cutscene again because it read it as a new install on a new machine.
well, like 33% faster technically
Thought so, just thought i should mention. Is there any way to hop between servers?
That's all.
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
You can world visit within your datacenter.
Your character exists on squares server not your PC, you sure you’re not on the wrong player account or selecting the wrong world?
They said they specifically picked light
Not chaos
So it'd natural they won't see it until they swap back
Or if you wanted to go back to your old character, you can simply select the Chaos DC from the data center menu on the main menu, then find it just where you left it.
Why does Diadem experience the Proto-Ultima weather?
The Bonewicca Whisperer's Jacket is a blm item but refuses to drop... is it because im using blm
if i were to switch to another class would it then drop?
rng is rng
7 times with this darn dungron and still it does not drop
has nothing to do with your job that you're currently on
welcome to the true endgame
also, the bonewicca whisperer's set is currently available for mogtomes
so you could just farm those for it instead
When does drk get their bar?
Seen asmond use it and he’s still on hw so I’m confused on how he go it
Guess he just hit 62
4 mog tomes
type /actionlist
just enough to force you do to it 5 times
and click the ? sign at the bottom of the window
/actionlist
Not here 
Oooooh
Yes
