if it says "unsellable/untradeable" you cant
but worth 120000
The price is from vendor pricing
ah ok
How does Echo stacking work? I noticed it goes from 5% to 15% and maybe I've see n20% but unsure when these trigger. Number of deaths or timer related?
its timer ye
well
its a timer in the sense that you've had to be in the instance for x duration and have wiped
Cause otherwise people could jsut suicide isntantly a few times and start strong, right?
ye
is plugging in a random assortment of crit/det/dh into poetics gear a reasonable idea? considering it will be used by multiple jobs
Anyone knows how to get a gear of pressing darkness? It says you can buy it for guild with an NPC but it's not available
You don't need to meld anything until you reach level 80
i know you dont need to, but i want to
you can't get that set anymore, GARO has long since been gone @native belfry
besides i have a mountain of materia just laying around
the amount of time passed after the boss has been pulled until your group is forced to reset the instance (like by wiping)
Alrighty thanks
is det usually a worse stat?
det is mostly useless
the amount varies but it's generally in 5% increments
det isn't useless
okie i'll do half crit half dh
its not a priority for most jobs
you only meld it if you cant meld anything else
but that doesn't mean its useless
just like how tenacity isn't useless
well yeah, it raises dps of course
all substats before 80 usually wont do much
Melds might push you a little into the next tier
they'll do more plugged into gear than sitting in my chocobo saddlebags
You can make some bank off of t1-3s
the expansion is right around the corner
i'll just unmeld them when i need them, it's 100% recovery
Nobody plays materia roulette lmao
all melds even on current Level 80 equipment, will be pretty useless
when the level cap becomes Level 90
materia X probably
and thus, new equipment along with new mechanics, job rotations, priority melds, and new materia
so i'll unmeld them, what's the problem
it's 100% recovery for poetics gear, which was the question
6 and lower
oh nice
its only 7/8 atm that are chance to break
since they are current expansion materia
and once endwalker releases, they'll be 100%
that means that tier 7 is 80%, and tier 8 is 40%
assuming new materia release ofc
hm, i might have oversold how many VI materia i have
is there a quick way to get VI materia? maybe some easy cracked cluster thingie?
rowena got em for 800 poetics each, which is a ripoff
So I bought a name change and a Phial of Fantasia
Hey there! I'm finally upgrading to a full account, but I don't know where to put the code I got from a buddy to get him some stuff with me upgrading to full account
Changed name Fantasia has not appeared
it can take up to 24hrs.
!faq mogstation
it looks like a banner ad
on mogstation
if you don't see it, disable your adblocker if you have one and refresh the page
That won't be easy, 'cause my Kaspersky is blocking it too, no matter what I do
But I'm on it!
Okay, so I see "upgrade to full version"
Will changing my characters name prevent the Fantasia from being delivered
No
I clicked "enter registration code" and it asked me to read user agreements, now asks me for game key. Shouldn't the "recruitment" code come first?
Recruit a friend is during your free 30 days
Ohhh, so I enter his code when I have my full account, then he'll get the stuff?
After you applied code, before you start paying sub yes
Okay, found it, thanks lovelies!
I am wondering, shouldn't machinist perform better than Samurai since it can technically always DPS, while melee needs to avoid AOE and other mechanics?
Does it matter if I choose specific numbers or hit random in Jumbo Cactpot? There's no mechanic, is there? Just RNG?
1/10k chance of a jackpot per ticket
Ranged have lower dmg since they have mobility
Sure but the numbers don't matter or is there some specific thing like "they can't repeat" or something?
Hmm, I wonder if it's better for me to go with mobility for that uptime rather than hard hitting attacks
numbers don't matter
🤷 totally up to you
you could do the same 4 numbers for each ticket
Ah ok cool, thanks
hehe, just thinking out loud
Try one of each and see which playstyle you enjoy more
Usually if I see 1 2 or 3 next to each other I always check the last one to see if I get that 10k bons
I got a BLM and SAM at 80.
I am having a hard time to ABC and keeping my uptime on the boss together with mechanics. I reckon Bard(?) or Machinist might make it easier, even they don't hit as hard, the uptime matters a bit more
Dancer is simple
Can't I use my pre-order gamecode yet?
Like really simple
Dancer is press shiny button
and mash literally everything during tech window
The most you have to pay attention to is when to use a fan during non-tech. Usually I keep 3

Yeah but I had MCH in mind, but it's true then right, I should technically have higher uptime with MCH vs SAM if I am not that good?
Hi kind of an odd question, but if someone wants to play on a data center outside of their region, is that possible and how much does it matter
You'll just deal with ping
you can create a character on any data center at any time
You pick the data centre on the title screen
Your account region only restricts what region you buy the game on
Or allied seals at the blue mage vendor
what weapon can bluemage use
blu canes
Canes
where is bluemage vendor for allied seals
Is there a place on this server for fashion report?
Do it in #kupo-bot-spam for personal use
wait what thats only ilvl50
Blue weapons don't give them stats
When does it update? The fr here isn't the smae
i mean armor
wait this npc doesnt have lvl60 gear
do u need the blue mage weapon tho or can u still get the spells first
Does anyone here raid on a PS5? Just curious if there are frame rate drops?
I'd like to ask. How does BLU powerleveling works? I want to powerlevel someone but idk how exactly
does it only happen on raid? which raid though
Have a friend (not in a party) one shot overworld mobs for you after you slap them with a fish
Does it work on every single mob?
70 and under
70
Ok ty 🙂
Just don't get one shot 
Its not me. I'm max at blu :3
it should be one of the categories in the chat filters i believe
Anyone know any FC recruiting on Mateus. I'm a WHM on PC. Relatively new to FF but played WOW for several years. Mostly looking for raiding and pvp once I learn more here. But looking for an FC to help me learn and grow for Endwalker.
how do I report a bot who's underground killing stuff? there isn't a report button when I right click their names

How do u call tank abilities that reduces dammage? Mitigation?
like rampart, how do u call those abilities
Cooldowns
that or just 'cooldowns'
mitigating defensive cooldowns
or your choice of however many of the above
generally nobody'd need to clarify
Ok tyvm
mitigation as a whole is a good word to use
because a lot of jobs can apply mitigation other than just tanks using their personals
So, what should I be doing with these? I haven't spent one in all of ShB from hunts...
What are "Aetheric Disturbance"s
"The nearby air appears warped. You sense that concealing magicks are at work."
continue doing the quest
Materia, thats all i know
whats point of bluemage weapon if it doesnt give stats
fancy glamour
ah
- some of them have materia slots
do bluemage job quests give armor
other than the materia slots, it's the only way for the game to assign you as a "BLU"
i should do the job quest regardless right
Yew
the blue mage job quests are important to do
make sure you do them all
as well as clear the entire carnival
I belive is for unlocking flying in a certain region
Is Eureka like Bozja?
wait, how do you get the king slime crown
Loosely
Merchant
i dont know what carnival is
no, it's an MSQ during churning mists
you unlock it, as you progress the blue mage story
Which one
Oh ok
By the quest
ah ok
there is no merchant at havaks place
By the quest giver
How hard would learning blm be if i got the lv 70 boost?
the same as if it would be if you started playing from level 1
You still need the spells
assuming you don't just blindly enter content
without learning the job
black mage as a whole is an intermediate job to understand
I would learn the job, i just wanna know how challenging it would be
there are core mechanics you need to be familiar with that are present also in thaumaturge
but they are not difficult to understand
Help me understand please - what is the point of buying tome gear at eg level 50 when there is gear with other tomes at lvl 60? Isnt it just a waste?
you get so many poetics that it doesnt matter
Well ill take that into consideration, thnx
and you will really enjoy having that gear during your leveling for the next few levels
Oh i barely get them honestly
But i just play HW msq
some are just more perplexing than others
daily msq roulette gets you 500, with a bit more if it's somebody's first time
it also gives good xp
but that doesn't mean difficult jobs are better than easier jobs and that doesn't mean easy jobs are terrible either
they all have their own complexity layered in
people joke around that SAM is a monkey job
Kk, just thought I would try em bc they looked interesting
but SAM overall is actually one of the hardest melee DPS jobs to master in the game
Any other sources as good?
that is the best source
I see
you can do alliance raid roulette too, but it gives less
yeah the msq roulette with a bonus is astounding
I usually just do leveling roulette
yea i use lvling roullete to lvl a new class
also your first time doing BLU mage carnivale stages gets you a heap of poetics
Does anyone here raid on a PS5? Just curious if there are frame rate drops?
no, it never drops under 60
period
How do I put limit break on my hotbar and what does it actually do?
I mean, it drops frames in cities. But wasn’t sure about in a raid @lone totem
Ty
are you playing on the PS5 client?
Pc
the tooltip will explain, note that it is shared for the party
there are no frame drops, even with 2000+ players in the same area
Yes I am
it should never drop at any point
so if somebody uses limit break, the gauge is spent for everybody
are you playing at 4K?
I chose the WQHD option
if you're playing "Full HD"
that improves framerate
it literally means "framerate is fixed at 60"
and it will never drop
Yeah but WQHD is just prettier lol
fair enough
I don’t experience the fps drops often. Only in crowded cities. Was just wondering how it was in a busy raid
Thank you for trying to help but your directions were rather misleading. I found the merchant at the Thaumathurges guild, which is where the quest ends, not starts
I might bump mine up to WQHD when it endwalker comes out
but for 8man raids, there isn't enough going on for even 4K to lower the framerate
Okay cool.
I have a 4K monitor but I’m considering getting a 1080p one since PS5 doesn’t support 1440p

get a nice ips one for the shiny colors
Umh does anyone know what dance Lulu uses after sidestep in the outro? 😛
Sweet thanks!
It looks awesome
For my question?? Lol
Haha
level 54 here. is there a guide on what content unlock quests are recommended to be completed per expansion? or should i just do them all? do people usually swap classes to utilize the exp most efficiently?
There are lists online but I would recommend doing them all. You can swap if you want to, completely up to you. I prefer focusing on one class at a time to have a deeper understanding of how it performs. Do what is fun!
The quests related to the relic weapons you can skip unless you are interested in the story/glam.
They take a while.
heyo, i don't care about the story and the early game is boring af, so with the sale going on i was thinking of getting the quest and job lvl boost, i was wondering if i needed to get an expansion with it in order to play the boosted job and stuff? rn i'm just on trial, haven't bothered getting the base game yet
Yes you do
In order to get access to high level content you need to buy the base game and expansions and then subscribe.
if i get endwalker would i get the previous ones too or?
so i either get shadowbringers now or i'm stuck in limbo sorta?
yup. currently buying shadowbringers gives you access to stormblood and shadowbringers. preordering endwalker gives you nothing
when endwalker releases proper, buying it will give you the previous 2 expacs
Kugane is the easy way
I’m thinking about buying final fantasy the latest one because games on ps5 rn are dry for me and I was wondering if there is anything I should know before purchasing the game
do i just get the job and quest boost and then wait for the expansion then or?
up to you. doesn't really matter what order you do it in
!faq newplayertips
is Lost allagain BIS for lvl 70
Thanks
current job and msq boosts only go up to level 70 and the start of shadowbringers
so you'd still have to play through an entire expansion to get to endwalker
dont worry too much about rushing to catch up, the game is designed to let you take as much time as you need
also the story isn't gonna make jack all sense to you but that's up to you whether that's a downside
I would only recommend the job/story skip if you have no intention of reading the story
i'm not i just wanna get to the part where i don't do fetch quests 24/7 and have more than 7 buttons
i don't have any intention of reading the story tbh
well that first part doesn't ever go away
mhm. know a good few ppl who skipped for raiding and kicked themselves once it grew on them
you can always go back and do new game + if you regret it
Just keep in mind even if you skip now, you still need to play Shadowbringers no matter what
You cannot skip that
all content is locked behind the story so you have to do it
i don't think i'd mind since the gameplay would be a lot better at high lvls
as long as you actually take the time to learn your job then that's fine
Unless you want to wait until EW, in which the skips will be till 80, you still need to play EW
As long as you are aware of what you're doing, its fine
oh yeah the boosts will be bigger soon
how long is EW?
Probably much longer than Shadowbringers
1.5x the amount of text as Shadowbringers, to be specific
1 expansion and 3 post launch patches worth of content long
i have no idea how long shadowbringers is so that doesn't mean much to me
It's the big finale
they said tis like a full time rpg
I will say though, that we're most likely not getting any content patches until at least 2 weeks after launch
probably more like a month
so skipping the story isn't really gonna get you anywhere faster
since you'll still have to wait for the raid tier to come out
me, hearing this as a wow veteran: "is that meant to be 'long'?"
i don't mind, means more time to level alt jobs
speaking of, if i were to boost a job, i shouldn't do samurai or red mage or whatever cause those start at a high lvl, right?
for efficiency's sake, sure
In terms of money /levels yes
ye, and just those two or any others too?
All expansion jobs starter higher
HW jobs at 30, stormblood at 50 and shadowbringers at 60
Endwalker will be at 70
it's on sale now tho and not after it comes out 
anybody know the important spells for raiding with blue mage?(im going for the morbal mount)
I just noticed that the complete edition went on sale again
Does anyone know how long the sale is going on for?
Nevermind, I think that was a dumb question. I just saw that it's listed under "Sale of the week"
There's alot depending on your role
Shire gear
im gonna dps
How do I hide my HUD for screenshots?
scroll lock by default
scroll lock
Generic loadouts
thx
for shire gear im low on poetics is there a way to farm them fast
Do roulettes, WT etc
(on a job Level 50 or over)
When do maintenances for expansion launches usually start and end
I think it's on reset? And it's i believe 24h
so 7 am pst?
Jun. 27, 2019 2:00 a.m. to Jun. 28, 2019 2:00 a.m. (PDT) this was 5.0's maint times
probably be the same times for endwalker
Ok cool
that's fine
just means I'll be 40 minutes late for launch
Gonna start playing after work and then stop when I die or finish msq
whichever comes first
whats the max mgp you can get on The Slice Is Right fate
16k, but that is assuming you collect all 4 gold piles during the doggo part
no idea if that is even possible
oh ok
10 is a more reasonable assumption
that's with 2 piles collected and standing in the correct section for the shell game
What’s the best food for melee dps and for heals?
also the formula for getting there is a bit more convoluted than with the other gates
Smoked Chicken for melee dps afaik
usually smoked chicken for all of them as they increase their ideal defensive stats the most
some tank sets opt for chicken fettucine
and for healers too, though I think some want popoto salad
check The Balance for more info but Smoked Chicken is a safe bet for everything
yeah, when in doubt go with that
alright, I have a question about how expac releases stuff
19 is early access
23 is global release
then are ex coming with the 19th?
yes
even ballad/3rd one?
the final .0 trial is never in .0 for extreme
the 8 man raid is 2/4 weeks after launch
normal mode being 2 weeks, savage beign 4
savage will also release the weekly capped tomestone, and crafted set
entirely depends if they shift things up but if the existing pattern is to be followed, yes
but probably not
i would imagine it'd be the same, 6.1's msq beign something new doesn't have bearing on the 6.0 final trial's ex

btw 2 weeks from global release, right?
where can i get easy a bluemage aoe spell under lvl60
Literally any overworld spell..like Plainscracker
how do you remove a glamour?
Right click > glamour > remove
thanks
wait wait
so learning bluemage spells is not 100%
u need to keep killing mobs with the skill after tehy cast it
open world mobs are a % yes
cuz i dont gete the spell
yes you need to kill the mob after its cast the spell to hav ea chance to learn it
yea yea i was just thinking its 100% always but its not
is there a list of non-feature side quests that actually give cool stuff
which one is it?
It's all just a different reaction
how do i get flying in coerthas west
Get all the aether currents
10 on the map, 5 from quests
Anyone in Excalibur willing to help me out? I get overrun by some mobs in a quest… only takes a minute, Revenants toll.
I’d pick the third
Can’t help with solo instances
It’s not solo
Best job/class for starter?
Any
Doesn’t matter
They all start slow
Which class would you guys say has the highest dps?
That’s all they bring to the table
Just look at fflogs
Assuming you’re keeping uptime and the rotation up
When ocean fishing, what should I use my GP on when not in a spectral current? I read in several guides that Patience isn't worth it when going for a high score
what about pugilist
Pugilist is fine
I generally just use Chum if I’m nearing max GP. Missing out on 145 GP at the most is rarely a factor
Would selling gear for gil in PF be against TOS?
Or Patience if the current zone won’t have a good spectral if it happens
AKA when it’s a time of day that only gives the spectral intuition fish
To use the upcoming Ocean Voyage as an example, it’ll have the chance of giving the Z2 and Z3 spectral Intuition fish, which means the general point gain per fish in those spectral are low. This makes Identical Cast and Double Hook not good points unless it helps you complete the Voyage Missions.
While in Z1, you’ll have the Sea Nettle and Roguesaurus to use Identical Cast and Double Hook on for large point gain.
Of course you do get a MASSIVE +50% point bonus if your party manages to catch 3 Spectral Intuition fish, but this is very hard to do and not really something you expect outside of a party purely for getting those fish.
How do the parser colours people keep mentioning work?
100th percentile = gold
99th percentile = pink
95-98th percentile = orange
75-94th percentile = purple
50th-74th percentile = blue
25-50th percentile = green
sub 25th percentile = gray
The higher the number, the better.
100th basically means like top 10 or so depending on how many total parses for that class and fight
Is it possible to trade poetic gear for another job's gear similar to how you can have crafted gear for certificates and then get another piece
Nope

No
@glass oxide had to make sure thank you
where can i find a comprehensive list of markers?
Hello I downloaded the free trial on PlayStation and I’m enjoying the game so much that I would like to buy it on Steam and continue there. Will my progress transfer or do I have to start over since I’m a free trial user.
!faq markers
!faq marker
Savage basically doesn't have markers outside of mechanical specific ones
so each savage mode have their own marker?
It depends on the mechanic itself
This playlist goes over some you'll commonly see in savage and terminology
For gardening, do you need a new seed every time you harvest?
Yes
hey!! i’m currently playing the free trial that i downloaded via square enix, can i buy the game and expansions through steam??
Yes. That is the only time when you can do so though.
What’s a good level to know if you like a job? I’m currently on ps5, but going to switch to Pc next week when my new one is ready . I thought until I would try jobs that interest me until then. I assume if I switch from level 10 to 1 etc, I’ll grind mobs since my msg is father ahead ?
60 is where most jobs have their full kits
For levelling altd
If I buy a job skip for Summoner, does that also skip Scholar as well?
Technically yes
Thanks, trying to get the hang of it all. I figured for a few days I can still enjoy the game and mess around but I know nothing will transfer over, so I didn’t want to get too involved.
anything i need to do to prepare for expansion raid? apart from gears
But you nees to do the quests
and live tour
Just do the msq that’s pretty much it
Might wanna keep an eye on jobs that are busted for 6.0
So I'm looking for someone who would be able to figure out which voice preset a certain npc has
Can someone point me in the right direction idk a thing about anything datamining adjacent
Don't need datamine to know who's the seiyuu of an NPC lols
If it's English, it's even easier to figure out
The question of which NPC is relevant, regardless
Because without that information, the answer can't be given.
hey just a question, I keep trying to fix the unable to download patch files, and it keeps crashing, does it start the download at the start or does it continue where it crashed?\
what's GCD, OGCD?

Yep
dont think i saw the spell tho
It’s an instant cast
oh
So watch for the damage you take by that name
it worked i got it
how's the download speed?
I cant even download the game because it crashed with the unable to download patch files error
keeps crashing and having to restart
anyone know a safe vpn so I can try and fix the error?
flying frenzy is the slam
driver update fix for me
you only need like 2 or 3 eggs so that you don't get bonked
disable firewall could help too
!faq xivlauncher
This is what I meant
looks like spells from trials aint 100% too
Any pro crafters I can dm for some help?
they are if you run them sync'd
Synced = 100% learn rate
oh i was unsync solo
unsync isn't 100%
Yep
sync is 100% provided you aren't dead 
what is it if its not 100%
Less
For unsync? Like 30% or something?
depends on the *'s of the spell
but i cant join it synced as blue mage lol
Make a PF
You can
Anyone know what did transpire regarding home world transfers on previous expansions? Did they make it free to move anywhere?
you use the level sync option to go in solo while being sync'd
A lot of the lower rarity spells I got unsync but spells like Shurpanakha and boss ones ideally would be done synced
Wait are you talking about installing the launcher, or downloading patches?
Expansions themselves don't affect transfering
It's only when the status of the worlds change or they add new ones
they'll make it free to move to the new OCE DC when they make that, since moving to a new world is free
i opened party in pf but now i need ppl or what it doesnt let me go in
how
go into the duty finder settings, select undersized party and level sync
!faq levelsync
hit confirm, and queue up for the instance
we need that
It’s right under the undersized setting
got it ty
No we don’t
Can you trade EXP ring/earring between characters (same account)?
The xp earring is for all characters
yo im trying to do the bozja incident, what the fuck gives with the antibodies? there is like 50 of them and i get instantly killed...
What class are you?
DRG
What's your ilevel?
uh 439
Are you using your AoE?
Well yes, that could also be the problem 😄
Does one do synched or unsynched for mount farms?
Unsync
Mount farms are always unsync
No reason to sync
Fairs
Shatotto from the blm job quests!!
🤨 bizarrely voice preset is the only thing i can't find
Thanks for looking anyways
They make various grunts et al so I'm assuming battle npcs without VAs must have one of the presets available to player characters
Surprising if not. I'm just confused as to why I can't find it
Various tools exist to show pretty much all the creation settings of non-unique NPCs
just uh, not in this case
can u even learn spells unsynced in trials?

Oh sweet thanks
so i'm leveling mining now, where do i find bone chips?

OMFG
I HAVE A LOG
do ineed lay of the land 1 if i have lay of the land 2 and beyond?
Is getting 3 lines in the Wonderous talis books completely random? or is there a way of improving your odds?
you can rearrange the lines if you have 7 or less to try and get a line but it is indeed random what pattern you get
kk thank you
Does anyone know when the expansion goes into Early Access on the 18th, does tome stone cap refreshes on the 22th?
19th, not 18th, and I don't see why it wouldn't

let's use not use that particular word as derogatory
Sorry
it's not like there'd be a point in delaying it
that would just mess up weekly reset
and no matter what there'd have to be a shortened period eventually to get it back on schedule
What's the commmad for blm rotation again
!faq blmleveling
What day are wonderous tails due?
15 hours, 16 minutes, 34 seconds
20 hours, 16 minutes, 34 seconds
5 days, 8 hours, 16 minutes, 34 seconds
1 day, 8 hours, 16 minutes, 34 seconds
3 days, 2 hours, 16 minutes, 34 seconds
2 days, 20 hours, 16 minutes, 34 seconds
2 days, 13 hours, 16 minutes, 34 seconds
22 days, 8 hours, 16 minutes, 34 seconds
so on Tuesdays
Yeah, I was wondering if they want to make the first week be 19-29 or something
So that at launch we skip a weekly reset
Just to make more hardcore raiders calm down and spend more than 3 days on story
I mean hardcore raiders are gonna speedrun the story to do EXs anyway
Granted, another way would be just introduce the new weekly stuff, like the high level tomestone on the “official launch date”
Well EX can be completed in 4 days
Prog and Farm
And you don’t need the ex gear until after savage release 4 week later anyway
Idk anything about Retainer ventures, is there a guide somewhere? I have no idea what class would be good to pick for my retainer to make big gil
send help I can't find dawnborne aethersand 😦
you just want 1 retainer as a combat job, and 1 as a gatherer since they can get different stuff
the specific job doesn't matter, but ideally it's one you have leveled since their level cap is how high you have said job leveled
Double combat is also fine
and for stuff people actually want to buy you'll basically be sending them out on quick ventures all the time
Especially if you don’t level gatherers
I personally just switched from combat + gather to double combat retainers
I don't have any professions leveled yet, would two casters be bad?
Oh and I guess you can level multiple jobs on retainers too?
No problem
retainers can only be 1 job
Each retainer can only have 1 job
ty both, I'll just level casters and probably figure it out on the way I imagine

any decent guides to taking pics and making them look dope ?
Can you unsync farm things like, Cards and Orchestrions?
ye, you can
max resolution, max graphic setting, play in first person to get the feel of your character
and ask yourself "will this area look good on my character?"
also maybe a photography course
since digital photography is a thing that schools teach
Also use /gpose
How would you guys rate the job quest story?
For?
WAR 60-70 was a new hildabrand questline wdym
i like war 60-70 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
beats whatever's going on in the PLD questline
I liked it for what it established and I thought it was funny but I don't know if I would say it was amazing overall
but then on certain days i find drk cheesy from start to finish 
If someone is on a trial can they buy stuff on the store and have it sent to them in game?
Or could I buy it for them as a gift?
but the conclusion is the job quests have very different tones .. from drk to sch to war
no
Trial players can’t use codes
so do all and skip pld 50 to 60
they can't trade, can't use mail, can't use mb
Can you have an FC Room and an Apartment?
I think trial players can buy certain things?
ye
Oof. Gotcha. I was gonna gift my little bro something so I think I'll just see what I can do
They want an outfit
can't receive gift as a free trial
But can they just buy the outfit? Maybe.
So could they buy an outfit then? On the store
what blue mage skills are people spamming in the event??
j kick -> lv 5 death, missile, moonflute -> tingle -> final sting the last boss
Um why can't I see my mission on my map 
thank you
It doesn't show where I have to go
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
What the blue quest says
Not all quests can open the map so that's why I'm asking
If you’re not in the zone or tracking them with the quest list, they don’t appear
So did 1.0 have a relic weapon quest or was 2.0 their first attempt at making one?
2.0 is ARR
Always could try using the third party launcher
1.0 is 1.0, 0 idea if they ever called it anything more than just 1.0
I’m a new player and had this same problem. Disabling my antivirus and windows defender firewall helped
1.0 was Final Fantasy XIV Online
Not sure... wait did he uninstall the game?
is cross data center + stat squish happening before end walker?
or with release of end walker?
So his download doesn't want to download?
Is it confirmed that you can form statics with people from aether if you're from primal and crystal etc?
Hmm
Maybe he has an app that throttles it?
Square Enix won't be able to help with this tbh
Try the xivlauncher
stat squish is for 6.0, cross data center is later
we dont know when
What jobs have the biggest AOE spells /skills? I love rdm so far but I wish there was more nukes. Also sorry for asking these types of questions a lot
From the security control or whatever windows named it
what bluemage spells can interupt?
flying sardine
Hmm, how so?
bad breath
crossbow
Oh yeah I forgor
That's pretty good
!faq interrupt
when was eureka last nerfed? and what was it?
Hello!
I was recomended Behemoth as a good home world since i am from BR, i guess ping there is good. But i can't create my character in there rn.
Is there a way to know when i can create a char on that server?
Just keep trying. You'll usually have the best results during off peak hours.
so i have the gold saucer unlocked/can travel there by teleport, but the gold saucer button is greyed out on my "Character" button of the bar. how do i ungrey it
whats a good spell to clear first 10 carnivale lvls
when are peak hours?
Now
Typically peak hours are between approximately 3pm and 10pm regional time.
So im pretty new and was wondering how high do i am required to have my crafting jobs at to finish through the story
Crafting is 100% optional
zero
aetherial mimicry is a must
crafting not required
Really? Cuz i thought the red icon said all jobs need to be at 14
all jobs? where
No.
or your current job
What red icon?
or a disciple or war/magic
Im delivering the letters in the three town once get to the airship
put a screenshot or put the whole message
One second
it doesn't require crafting jobs
if it says Disciple of Magic or War
those are battle jobs
You need to have your current Disciple of War or Magic job at an appropriate level to progress in the story.
Crafters are Disciples of the Hand
Gatherers are Disciples of the Land
Well then if this is the case….
theres no way a level 14 quest needs ALL jobs levelled
even all battle jobs, not gonna happen
no quest needs all jobs levelled anywhere as far as i know
you can absolutely finish the entire story on a single battle job
and most people do
alternate jobs are optional
I wouldn’t
I don't think you can anyways.
Gift cards are funky from what I’ve heard
I heard could like buy crsta then pay for sub
Yes, you can do that
Also yea I swapped to my thamaturge and im able to continue the quest line
Because it’s lvl 14 or higher
i need to reach lvl 49 for my MSQ and im 48 right now, what's the fastest way i could do that
Roulettes, do them
And if you've already done your leveling dungeon roulette today, just spam Aurum Vale
Or finish your class hunt log
I just recently bought the starter edition but will probably get the expansions later
I just hit the gold cap for the free trial and was wondering if anyone has a good suggestion on what to sink 100k+ gil into? thanks!

ty!
can anyone insightful tell me if I should save the items I wanna sell till endwalker comes or just sell them now? stuff from firmament mostly
Depends on the items.
Consumables you may as well sell now, since better ones will be introduced in EW
dyes mounts glamours etc
Rare cosmetics you may want to hold onto to see if the price goes up as people stop doing the content.
Well there likely will be a deflation in gil due to the teleportation cost changes
Doubtful
But I don't knew if it will be that massive.
The game throws gil at you
I'm still hoarding the single Diamond Weapon scrap I have for a price hike
That's actually something that will probably decrease in price.
Since once people are at 90, farming even Diamond Weapon EX will be much easier.
Ah fuck
Oh well, sub ran out now
Maybe it will price hike right when Endwalker starts
It'll take a bit for folks to reach 90
That's... optimistic of you to think.
People will be 90 before the early access ends.
I have no choice but to be optimistic lol
Day 1 90s
assuming there is no raubahn extreme this time
Too late to go back and sell it

There hasn't been a Raubahn Savage since Raubahn Savage. SE learns from its mistakes.
if this is like other MMOs
usually what happens with the market, is immediately after a content drop, prices go up as ppl come back to the game for the new content and try to complete old stuff they've put off before
then after about a week, prices stabilise and drop
@steep egret It's why I plan to desynth dungein mats asap
my cat ran across the keyboard and my UI is gone, hitting esc shows nothing, help
1.) Not that old.
2.) Not a man.
3.) https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/6hwz6k/raubhan_savage_guide/

scroll lock @kindred zinc
just a joke
Crafters will want them sweet mats at a higher than normal price
every page I looked on on google is for ps4
scroll lock
thanks
L1+touch pad
or scroll lock
think about what people will need/want to buy, you'll get more out of those of course
The giod thing about desynthing dungeon mats is
They give out crafted materials
Which you'd otherwise need to gather for or buy the gatherer items in mb
not done it here yet, but in Warframe, i hoard stuff until big events come on, or a new large patch drops, the first weekend after a content drop, i make bank
is it faster to lvl fishing in diadem or by doing ocean fishing?
ocean fishing
Anyone on Crystal willing to help dungeon farm a Blumage?
ocean fishing, by far
with leves in the down time assuming you have any/aren't using it on other crafters/gatherers
how about if i also want to lvl culinary? cause u vendor everything in ocean fishing right
this isn't the place for that, if you need help you should ask in PF
Which chat is that
and iirc they're really not that amazing for mats
okay ill do ocean fishing
Party Finder, it's in game, not a chat channel
there is also a recruitment channel for each datacenter in here
they meant post and ask for people to help you
Most Duties are simple
what happens when you buy something from the mogstation that originally came from an event, and you happen to lose it? can you get it from calamity salvager? or you have to buy it again
like the valentione set
I'd imagine you could buy it from the calamity salvager
You can’t repurchase
The salvager is tied to the event achievement, which you don’t have
how did you even lose it
Don’t trash the dang things
The Recruitment channels are for "Recruitment for Datacenter Communities" so I think I should be asking for help there?
PF we just told you
there isn't really a channel for asking for that kind of help here, that's the closest
if you can't get help from PF you might just be outta luck
you would have to rebuy from the mogstation @spare plinth
I just explained that I've used PF but its not helping
So I can't use the help channel to ask for help?
it's not that kinda help
this is not the place to ask for groups
I've given feedback to the mods that it should be more clear what's supposed to be asked here, cause this keeps happening
no i didnt lose it, i would never, but just in case someone is stupid enough to do so
it literally says it in the kupobot message
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions about Final Fantasy XIV.
Why dont they just make channels for it then
#discord-feedback maybe ask there
I've been looking for help the past 3-4 days
for a LFG channel
So I thought I'd use this for once, I didn't realize it was against rules
I litterally dont have anywhere to turn to
use party finder.
#recruitment-crystal exists
Anything is a question as long as u add a question mark at the end?
I've been using Party Finder the last 3-4 days
its not just for fc/statics to advertise, it also covers making groups
Ive yet to have anyone join in on the PF
Are you doing it during peak?
"Recruitment for Datacenter Communities" seems to imply LS and FCs
the description doesn't say that, just fyi
And every single msg in there is just an advert for FCs or LSs,
recruitment channels covers pretty much anything you want to "recruit" for
No one is recruiting iin there when I perused the last week of it
yes because thats what most ppl use it for
doesn't mean its strictly for fcs/statics/ls
But I dont think anyone checks in there to join a party
Its there for ppl to join a Discord server related to the other community pieces or dm the person to join said community
well if its intended for that, it is not obvious, and no one uses it for general groups
that's because PF is what you're supposed to use, but if that's not working then you might just be out of luck, fam
Bout to start farming firmament again after a while any particular item that's better for skybuilders scrip farming than others or are all level 80 items basically the same
this ultimately isn't the place to discuss this, ask in #discord-feedback but mods will likely say no because party finder exists
But I've been sayiing PF isn't working...
y'all keep bringing it up as if I havent tried it
So ultimately will we be able to recruit forcstatics in PF?
then I guess you're not gonna get anyone
If the tool that exists to get people isn't getting you people, then there might not be people to get
well forgive me for trying to use a different method

Im litterally not disputing that its a server rule, idk why u keep bringing that up
nom are there alliance raids for hw like there were for post arr
All expansions have alliance raids and 8 man raids
not really
Some mechanics will mess up new people but it’s still very casual
WoD is just inane mechanics
Like mechanics based on the players levels or weird shit like that
The rrst of the Alliance Raids are more normal and understandable than WoD
WoD doesnt have mechanics based on player levels
