okie dokie
Cause that's how it is now
People were using the grand company factions to stack and win trade
So they permanently made everyone a freelancer
You don't need the pet hotbar
How does someone turn their name orange?
As long as yoy have the last option ticked you'll be good for solo instances
Saw someone with an orange name
I've seen class transformations using class skills to change into different looks with gearsets
Is there a way to do the same thing but change into a different class? Not just an emote but using skills from the previous class that'll cover up the "transformation"
They're on your friends
Thanks
You can change the color of pretty much everyone's names in the game in the Character Config options menu, incidentally. Orange is the default color for PCs on your friends list, but I know people who have it set to green, or yellow, or pink.
Can BLU purge ||Gilgamesh|| buffs? Like toad and shrink.
how do i unlock custom delivery?
@split dust Second Lieutenant I think.
Don't think so. I think BLU's cleansing abilities have the same restrictions as others which rules those debuffs out.
custom delivery is that thing at the GC?
Sad
I thought it had nothing with it
For BLU quests beyond Blue Cheese (lv 60 quest) is it even worth doing? I checked the wiki and it doesn't seem like it first glance
It is not
I that's what it is called.
think
Custome deliveries you need a DoH or DoL at 60 and need to have the collectable quests unlocked. The first one will be in Illdyshire.
There’s a quest in idyllshire after completing Go west, craftsman
Ty guys
The EXPERT Delivery is the Grand Company one and that requires Sargent Second class rank.
in terms of xp, it is better than leve?
custom deliveries are weekly
it's something else separate. 12 weekly, 6 per person
As far as exp, it's good, and grants scrips as a bonus
And you'll get about half a level from highest quality tier turn ins per person, so a full level from all 12 unless there's a bonus. Then it's doubled.
also want to slightly correct this, well less correct and simply add since talking about dol/doh turn that there supply and provisioning turn ins and doesnt require sergeant second class. can do it at private after joining a grand company. its a daily turn in
I think he just wanted to correct the first person by clearing up the difference between expert and custom
How do I equiip a armor with high stats but change the appearance
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
guys where is the setting that makes a hotbar class-specific ?
character config > hotbars
or role specific idk
unshare the hotbar you want
nice, ty
is there a "best" DoL thing to level up before EW? I have mining at 80, what should be next
are FF4 glam in EW tome-gear or dungeon gear?
After you change something with glamor can you save the look so when I get a new better item it keeps the look or do I have to use a prism every time I get a new item I want to equip
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
!faq inn
what is the best materias for blue mage ? crit + dh ?
Crit/det for dps, crit/sps for tank/heal
thank you !
Do Khloe's awards expire between expansions? I just got a three-line and debating what to do with it, as I already have Ixion.
No
Excellent, thank you.
Buy the other mount
That shitty green unicorn is still stupid hard to get
Watch it be in the Seal Gacha pool
How long would it take for me to level Blu and get the required spells to farm T2?
Levelling takes an hour with power levelling, spells abit longer as you need to do 10 carnival stages
Can I buy new hair styles from in game shop or any vendors?
When do I get my first personal mount? I've been attending leg day since I started a few days ago.
!faq mounts
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Just clarifying something, but the hot from WHM's Regen and the hot from GNB's Aurora stack, right?
Alright good, just making sure I hadn't fundementally misunderstood them
Shadowbringers
Let you run dungeons with smart npcs
Basically better squadrons
They're very smart
Infinitely smarter than squadrons
They actually do mechanics
And you don't have control or micro manage them
How do you change the color of your undergarments
What are the best leve quests for BSM at 30
You dont
I bought a mount from site, how long does it usually take to deliver?
im 59 and was wondering after doing dailys should I just go for 59 dungeons or keep running 50/60/70's to get to 60? This is an alt so no MSQ
Up to 24 hours
depends on if its single character or accountwide, single character is usually a few hours, accountwide tends to take better part of a workday
I think I asked this before but people weren't sure. I did the FT through the website, and now I wanna buy the steam version of the game, will my character that I have transfer over or do I need to buy the game through mogstation
Yes, non steam trial to steam works
thanks
is it possible to farm fates as an alliance?
No
ty!
Last night at 11pm, the Final Fantasy 14 game was working smoothly and now at 3pm the next day, which is today, it says that it cannot open saying.. "The program ffxivlauncher64.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." What happened..? :C
Tried rebooting?
I tried restarting my Mac and etc.
And the problem still occurred.
I just sent Square Enix a report of the problem I am having...
That's so weird.. it was working fine.

I was having issues and an uninstall/reinstall fixed it.
So how do I unlock The Resistance Rank again? You only need to complete base Shadowbringers, correct?
Bojza requires 5.1 story and lv70 24mans fully done to start the bojzan story
So the Stormblood allaince raids and a little bit of the Post-ShB story?
Yes
You need 5.4 done to access Zadnor and the rest of the relic steps
Yooo
Wth can someone tell me why I can't use my mount
😾
I bought a mount and I can't even use it
Wth smh

Wth

Are u serious
Were do I even do that quest

I forgot how to do that... Do I go to the mogstation and reinstall it from there?
How much does a house cost usually?
!faq housing
ty
It’s not a large ask.
You can’t use a mount before unlocking mounts.
This is also stated very clearly on the store page when you buy a cash shop mount.
Yeah I bought one and I can't even use it xD
for dps yes
Dungeons are fastest if quick queues
IF quick queues
Meaning tank/healers are better with dunegon queues
Bozja is just the lazy way to level
means the story quests, so do that
why cant i create a viera?
Don’t own shadowbringers
That would be pay 2 win
Pay to win bad
No
You can 2 man but it'll be difficult but soloing it is not possible
Game put two debuffs on random players. If a player has both they die
Ah
At least 3 people
Well that blows
You can't even solo normal because of this mechanic
Gonna have to find other people then
Just PF it unless you're free trial
Hop into an already made a4s
I'm sure there's one out there
I'm trying to gather HQ cyclops onions, but the specified place I can find on the internet has not had it. I've been trying for hours. Is this locked behind a certain time? If so, what is it? I can't find that info anywhere.
cyclops onions are hidden items, so they're either rng to appear on the nodes or you need to use one of your skills that forces it to appear
so ultimately easier to just go to each node in the area it spawns in and open the gathering spot, if it appears gather them
if not just go to the next node
I unlocked this ability just now - but what is a lily?
job gauge tooltip shouldve explained the lily gauge
as soon as you get to that level
Hope I did not click that away by accident.
Job quest
And do the job quest
They should probably change that
Have both come from the job quest or both come from leveling
just do bozjan then

First of all thanks for the answers but I think I'm still missing something or just am dumb.
Do your lvl 52 job quest to unlock Lily gauge
The person that normally handed those out does not have any for me.
Probably somewhere else but how can find the place?
!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.
Oh, sorry. Must have blanked out on that.
how well does ffxiv run on a decently spec'ed mac?
id your mac isn’t anything less than a toaster youll be fine
i'm lvl 54 and i just bought the ironworks armor. should i buy the accesories too?
why not
Poetics are free af
free upgrades o/
No
55 story/dungeon
You’re gonna upgrade in between then with dungeon gear
a macbook air can run ffxiv just fine?
Where is this my little chicky quest
2020

-
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.

So no errors. I deleted it and tried to re download it multiple times but steam won't download it
No mount that's the erro
I was this close to going off on this dude

Learn to read and listen when answers are given to you
I did what u asked me to do
You clearly haven’t
Complete the company quest and nothing happened
So you completed My Little Chocobo
Nope
what GC are you

A blue quest opened up
bruh
Were do I I find that quest
Look under the main scenario tracker
Read.
As we said
@slate arrow
take a screenshot of your MSQ tracker
Everyone else, y'all can pipe down.
I have given you the FAQ which has everything you need to know.
did you try verifying your game files along with redownloading it?
I Uninstalled it and try to re download it but it's not working
if downloading the game itself isn't working that sounds like a network issue
try rebooting steam?
@hasty musk that's a good idea I'll do that once I'm out the restroom
RMT question. If i wanted to give something away from the Mogstation via a raffle where i make it crystal clear this is a random lottery and you just roll /random to get it, would I get in trouble would you say since people would argue it is still RMT?
it's not random, you just weren't paying attention
@weary garnet prnt screen my dude
What's the Archaeotania spawn timer?
Same as other super fates, 48-72 hours
Ive been told you need a whole new account and cant connect the game to your existing account if you buy thro steam?
Correct
Steam and Non steam can't mix
Steam accounts are locked to steam
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
Then you can pick either
then you choose either steam/SE store
but you can't have both
your PS access will stay
So steam would be fine?
Yes
I'm confused, Uhh why cant I use these glamour plates even though the pants and shoes are for "All classes" and are below my current level?
Quick question, I recently purchased the base game and Final Fantasy End walker on steam. I have all the codes but when I try to add the codes to Mog station it says they are invalid. Anyone know any other ways to input codes. Thanks!
so you have 3codes right?
Yes
the only ones that work rn are the base game
and the early acess rewards from EW iirc
the other one only works when endwalker releases
Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear
yes, but since endwalker isnt out yet you cant redeem his code
till dec 7th
Ahhh I see.
Shouldn't storm blood also work?
Do I actually have to get the 200 seals
To use my mount
Thanks
Do the next msq
Do the next story quest for the seals
is ffxiv not a graphically demanding game or something?
Ahh ok thanks for the help
The main story quest?
Yes
np, that happens because you'll only get storm and shadowbringers when you activate endwalker
It's mandatory to do literally anything
Okie I hope your right
We are
Literally look at the rewards for the next story quest
there's a secret reward to this quest or?
Lore and a glazenut
Is low level whm awful or am I just terrible at this game lmao
ok
All jobs start slow
Low level whm is relying on regen
Did they change it that in Zadnor/Bozja, you can get aoe heals from non-pt healers?
No
until I get to medica 2
is it just spamming cure 2 and using lucid dreaming on cooldown lol
Medica 2 only changes aoe healing
I am awful at healer
Cure 2 at half hp
literally have to stop dpsing sometimes for sake of having mana to heal
And lucid on cd for any healer
i often follow up medica with medica 2 when there's partywide damage, is that a bad idea?
or should i be using cure 3 more
Medica 2 first to get the regen rolling
Only medica afterwards if you NEED the hp NOW
Cure 3 is for high damaging stacks and heal checks
i almost never use cure 3
anything specific to do until lvl 50 whm
as of rn I have cure1,2 and medica and it seems to be,,,,difficult,,,
Whm gets alot better when it gets its off globals
like level 70+ dungeons?
I had 1 more question, if I wanted to boost a character to 70, would that work even if I don't have storm blood.
Regen covers alot of weight when you get it
Ignore cure after getting cure 2
Heal when people are half hp
On Cooldown
It's free
Well on Cooldown when you can weave it anyway
Or plan it for a buster
i got yelled by the tank for dps'ing too much
It's.very good and versatile as it's a off global shield
should I be using lucid dreaming on cooldown?
dunno how often i should heal
That tanks fucking braindead as shit
You heal only when necessary
If no one dies you did your job
Yes
I got the seals now what
i try to save lucid dreaming until my mp is less than 6000
Were do I obtain this bird insurance
once you get holy, do you still bother applying dots on all the mobs?
Read the mount faq again
While the tank runs and pulls mobs yes
Free dps on the move
Once they stop then you aoe
should i wait for the tank to attack the mob before applying regen and dots? i got yelled by the tank for doing that too
If you want to prepull regen then stick very close to the tank
So they can aoe mobs into them
you could aggro if you prepull regen
He doesn't sell me anything the quartemaster
Look in the materials tab
does mana ever feel better on whm or nah
because honestly you go through it so fast even healing conservatively
I think you'll get more at higher level
Yes
Thin air makes your spells free for a bit
Cause you get free healing tools
at lower level, you sometimes run out if you spam stone/holy too much
Like off globals and lilies
You'll basically never spend mana on heals in higher level
And only spend it on dps
And then there’s benediction, a 100% heal completely free
hey guys how do i add someone to a party via command line
With enough spell speed it can be a legitimate problem on glare mahe
Unless you use lucid
Then you should be fine
I have a bad habit of only noticing when I'm down to like 2-3k mp
what class are you playing?
and what duty?
low lvl whm
running dungeons to lvl it
and its kicking my ass lmaooo
eh i just need practice ig
Make sure gear is up to date and everything
a lot of times it's' not your fault...tanks can be undergeared while pulling alot and not use mitigation
Quick question, if I wanted to boost a character to 70, would that work even if I don't have storm blood.
i've ran into tanks who didn't even have gear equipped in all their slots
Pretty sure not.
is there any possible way to get around the 100 parts apt limit? I desperately just want to add a couple more plants and a lantern
So if i get stormblood key when my endwalker key works, i cant boost untill endwalker
Nope
sad
is it possible to wall to wall stone vigil with every tank and healer combination?
allergory/revo tome will become outdated on December 3 when early access comes?
I only do double pulls for stone vigil most of the time.
A lot of the mobs hit fairly hard, especially the ice sprites
Can u make the mount go faster or no ???
Yes
Do more story to get more mount speed in the zone
Or is there a limit
And eventually flight
cant you also buy the speed upgrade during the event?
I got me a really cool dark steed mount
No reason to
Sure, but the ground speed upgrades are worthless once you get flight
it doesn't make flying go faster?
so what's the point then?
can you server hop to bypass fate respawn timer?
😂
yea, you can get grani if you like that type of mount
Cause Arr didn't always have flight
the collector edition shb
So they added riding maps to help out in arr zones
Yes that can work

do veteran rewards give extra game time?
No it’s just clothes
only cosmetics
kk
I got the free trial version. Which didn't give me that option.
If you're trying to redeem Endwalker or any expansion, you need Starter first
If you want to redeem complete, its the same place you redeem Starter in
if i believe right, your talking about the one time password tokens?
Sorry, I found it.
any formula for how much xp from 80-82?
We won't know
The exact amount of exp we definitely won't know because Endwalker is adjusting exp amount required to level up
Please take note that it will not impact how fast you gain a level
are mobs in Diadem respective to a certain craft?
But I can tell you that it should take you around 4 lvl 79 dungeon runs to get to 81
And 3 lvl 81 dungeon runs to get to 82
dunno if i should focus on a certain mob if i wanna level goldsmithing or something
Each mob drops a specific set of items
Hi, how do I gear up my level 57 red mage via poetics?
I need some gear to get enough ilevel req to PoTD to reach 60 first
No you don’t
Your outside gear doesn't matter
oh guess I read the tooltip wrong then
Yoy can literally do potd naked
Aetherpool
Potd has no gear requirements
You need higher aetherpool gear to go further
ohh I see, I was trying to do 51 first
So run again and open more silver chests
And defeating high level bosses(?)
I get it now ty
Did you make grips? Because your aetherpool should still be high enough to do floor 51 if you’ve done it before
A realm reborn expansion sure has alot of quests 😓
Wrong channel
are queue times better for tanks compared to dps
usually
Infinitely yes
Ideally since there's less people playing tanks in theory there should be faster
Typically yes.
Tanks are instant to 5mins
im thinking of switching to dark knight once i start heavensward, is it hard to level it up to 50-60?
From 30
Even heeler ques have been taking a little bit lately though but I don't play too much currently
You just spam dungeons
Tsym!!
Hello. I was wondering if Eureka gives exp outside of the instance like Borja does?
No
Eureka has elemental exp
how do you increase your mount speed in all areas?
Story
okie!
Mount speed is only for ground apeed
Oh ok. I was wondering besides dungeon,fates and deep dungeons that give exp
Flying is already max
Riding maps too which are avail from the hunt billboards (i thin ARR is GC?)
ye, but if you dont have flying unlocked yet, they are still useful
You literally can't have flying not unlocked at that point
Cause you get it after 2.0
ARR is auto unlocked after prae ye, but you gotta do the Aether currents for each zone to be able to fly
from 2.0 onwards
So the question is why wouldn’t you?
Because it’s not like you’ll grab the maps during the .0 story
Or can, really
Not counting Mog tome event
You need 2nd Lieutenant to start earning allied seals, and it’s VERY slow without blue mage or doing A-rank hunts
do you spam potd 1-10 to level?
oh gotcha thanks
don't need to get to 60
floor 50 is all that's require to get the 51-60 checkpoint
granted, you'll obv clear 60 but either way, get to 50 and then spam 51-60. resetting your save files to start there
Hey, I seem to have come across a bit of a huge problem; I have no casual outfits! All I got is armor and the Scion outfit! Any recommendations for outfits to get as a Midlander male for like cafes and stuff?
peace lover, casual attire on mb
Summer indigo shirt
skyworker, skybuilder, skycrafter, most crafting gears
Tho its a tard bit expansive
Plenty of suits
calf leather, taoist, fire glass set, etc
so many options
alternatively go to where you think people will wear casual stuff and “examine” :>
Alrighty. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
Urban sets also look casual, it looks like winter attire
Wts this??
Vendor stuff
You sell to vendors for money
Always take the gear if it's an upgrade
Oh
@proud sigil You get money for selling it. You can use it later on to upgrade something.
how do i register a license for the steam version? I made an account but it got a windows license and wont let me play via steam
If you want to play via steam, you download the trial from steam
I already have a steam account, which I participated in the beta ages ago, so I would need a 2nd steam account and log on the trial that way?
so you don't own the full game, yes?
If you got a Pc license you can't use it on steam. You have to download the pc version from here: https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/gb/
Heavensward expansion now included in the Free Trial! Play up to level 60 for free without time restrictions.
I do not own the game on either account
Then just download the trial/game on steam
Ok, so are you trying to make a trial acct or you trying to upgrade to the full game
to do bozja relic steps I'd have to play as that class. I cant say get a rdm relic while leveling another class in bozja?
Trying to make a free trial account as my main steam account isn't eligible for it. I already made a 2nd account but I did on their website, as there wasn't a steam platform I picked windows
You are not being precise I am a bit confused.
not sure you could make a new trial acct thru steam, but that said i f you want to upgrade to steam full game you can do so with a windows trial acct.
i would just continue with the new trial acct you just made, and then when you're ready to upgrade, buy from steam if that's your intention
Got it, thanks.
You don't have to be the job you're making the relic weapon, just need the quest active

What's the fastest way to farm tomestones of lore?
Is that the moogle treasure trove's currency?
You can farm it with a BLU doing coils 2.
You need moon flute, whistle, J Kick, level 5 death, Final sting, and Mimicry.
The lvl 5 death thing=
What about it?
Figured it might be that run
Why missile?
BLUs can double up killing the add instantly
You can simply have another BLU use instant level 5 Death.
You have like 5 tries
And you have 3 mobs to do
But alright
did they say that all heals will be a 1.5 sec cast in 6.0?
I guess you should have missiles
All healer dps gcds
Glare/broil etc
oh
I did do 20 or so runs and didn't use missiles a single time though.
Cool
Doesn't hurt to have it.
Again
We’re talking speed
We agree to disagree.
Upload your settings to the server at character selection
Or copy the files in your computer over to the new one
how do i find my files
Documents > my games > FFXIV
save to the game servers
Adjust something on your main
it keeps your HUD
and hotbars
you can do the file settings
but it might need to do some digging
Uh i cant finish the quest first contact (I’m free version if that matters ) kumuxio won’t take the letter and milkroot and none of the npcs have provided me with any information besides that the sprites northeast are bad
is there a way to repair files without reinstall
uuuhhhh i think my files are corrupted lel
Read the objective, very closely
i was having issues with weaving so my static leader passed me xivalex
it fucked up my game lelelelelel
i perma uninstalled it but its still glitching out my files
@ _ @
heya, got a question about retainers
got a lvl 70 pugilist retainer now but wanted to change it into a monk but i guess that would reset the lvl?
and if it would reset the lvl, is it worth doing that or can it just stay pugilist?
xivalex is in that area where this server cannot discuss it psure
you can discuss it in here
there's discussion of it but it's a very touchy subject since it actively changes gameplay (to simulate low lag through the animation based delay)
it wont reset the level, just upgrades it to mnk
it would not reset the level, generally no reason to give a job unless you're doing one of the expac jobs
unless you want the retainer to be able to use job specific gear, i.e the artifact/relic gear
but like there's easier gear to give them
alrighty, thankss
are there bonus dialogs if I played DRG while doing the heavenwards arc? what about Stormblood(mnk?) and Shadowbringers(drk)?
yes to drg, no to mnk/drk
ok i see
but the extra dialogue is super minor
Reinstalling the game didn't fix my issue... TvT ugh.. I'm so sad... What else can I do..? it keeps saying. "The program ffxivlauncher64.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
there's some extra dialog but it's not game changing (npcs will acknowledge the player's job or role. good example is the lv 60 solo in rhgar's reach where healers get the dialog "you're a healer, aren't you?")
if I buy one Promise of Devotion in the mogstation, do I get the bracelets for both people?
No
xivalexander can be discussed here but we don’t allow links to it.
yueah so i wondering
is it possible to like, repair files
bc my files are defo fucked and even xivlauncher which i use bc i had to voidlist ppl who were harassing me is way screwed up
all my fonts are wonk
Level 10 are their any dungeons??
nope
first dungeon is lvl 15/16
for your first job you level through MSQ
and your class/job quests
and you hunting log as well
Guildhests mihgt be around that level iirc
Guildhests??
Tutorials basically
Oh ok
what do the symbols on top of the names mean?
means they're hunt marks for one of your bills
Hunt mark. yiou'll have the Slip from the Hunt board for them

Is making a FFXIV account difficult usually? Or am I just retarted.
O-O
but ask what’s troubling you and some people not me will help
i do remember the struggle though so /hug …
I had to make an entirely new account because Square-Enix kept telling me I was punching in my credentials wrong.
It's not just you. Seriously.
Yeah
So, I'm a PS4 player.
And I've tried putting in my credentials too many times to count. However, it took me about 2 hours to figure out how to do One Time Passwords. However, when I put in everything, it says that something is wrong.
One time passwords are optional
Yeah, but when I get to the screen. I tried not putting one in, and it wouldn't let me past.
?
It's optional security
Ok
Most don't even have it or even set it up
Hmmm
Having the OTP is handy, you get extra account security, plus a free teleport from having it, but if your just setting up, you can ignore that section till you do set one up
So, I just removed it. But, it still won't let me in. Even though I put the credentials in Letter by Letter.
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
#kupo-bot-spam for personal use
i accidentally threw out an item, what do i do?
Most items can be reobtained easily, what was it you discarded
Spriggan Bottoms
Unless you did the event those came from, you’d have to rebuy them from the cash shop
If you did the event however, you can go to the calamity salvager
i did not
Glam dispeller
So why does it not work when I type in my credentials. I'm sorry to interject.
How do you guys make friends in this game outside of an FC?
there's any website or addon that compares the prices of something across all server?
how do you put items on the market?
need a retainer
does anyone know where the level 80 training dummies are? Thanks
right outside eulmore?
Join PFs, talk to people. Make them like you.
Like real life, but not.
Do you join linkshells and stuff for it?
No. The LS I'm in are ones with people that I know from outside of the game, mostly.
The friends I've made in game have all been from PF groups for EX farms or Savage fun parties (not clear parties) where we used voice chat.
Ultimately, making friends in the game is very similar to making friends in real life. You have to be likeable
The biggest difference is that you actually have to talk, or else nobody will notice you at all.
There shouldn't be a quest necessary outside of just the MSQ
Not for training dummies.
Oh gotcha. 🙂 I just came back to the game, and Ihave a small house in a FC I'm in by myself. I'm used to making friends in FCs so I've been a little lost
Thanks
well I found some Bloke dude that lets you pick trials to train with
its timed though
That's stone sky sea
Tempest has regular 80 dummies
Or just use summerford farms
No reason to need 80 dummies
ah I wasn't aware
though it made a difference
or just go to any residential area and hit one
thanks
You can if you want
All but 50/60/70 are good xp
50/60/70 is good for tomes, bad for xp
uhh idk if this is the right place for it but idk where else to ask orz sometimes when i play, i randomly get 'Exception Processing Message 0xc000005: Unexpected Parameters'. idk what to do about it and its only with ffxiv and nothing ive tried has worked thus far, has anyone else experienced this?
some people say its bc ram is going bad but ive only had this computer for a bit over a year
can try #technology-discussion or actual SQEX’ tech support >.>

if Im waiting for Outfox after doing kinko and ginko, and the 2 fates still spawn does it mean it is still on cooldown?
Usually, yes.
apologies ill reroute mymessage to there
hmm wished there was an easier way to tell if outfox is on cooldown =3=
There's not, but there is an easy way to tell if it spawns.
And an easy way to tell if Foxy Lady is up.
ik about the broken shrine
Yeah. Just haunt the shrine.
also cant do fox lady solo so i dont do it
=3=
what floor do you level 61 to 70 in hoh?
21-30
is there any way to get the hatchling earrings? or is it long missed since 2016
guess you want to clear until that first?
That’s the highest you can go without a premade
Do you have to be a bard to play instruments?
Will the current two events still end on nov 19, or will be extended owing to EW's delay?
Yes. Because only Bard has access to the Performance action.
The Mogtome event will continue. I'm unsure about the Dragon Quest event.
Presumably at least the moogle event will extend, since its end date is set as "the release of 6.0"
Got it. Thanks.
I think the DQ event has a hard end date set.
Fastest way to level a alt class?

am i missing anything big by still playing the trial? im level 40 but not sure if i should just play as much trial as possible before committing to the subscription?

is there a way to change the beehive's theme back to the old one
main thing you're missing compared to the standard edition is mainly just social features
If NG+ doesn't, then nothing can AFAIK.
I miss the old one 
ah ok, ill have a read of the link too, tyty
Is there something up with pixie tribe quests? I unlocked them sometime last week, and I have 11 allowances, but the quest marker is red and says "No daily beast tribe quests accepted prior to today may be active."
Its telling you right there
You have a beast tribe quest from any beast tribe still active
Your allowance and dailies can't roll over when you have previous day quests active
Hmm, that must be from forever ago because I haven't done any beast tribe stuff for years.
That worked, I found one to abandon.
Thank you.
does newgame+ gives xp
No
no

Did you play the msq and the raids
i skipped the raids story
Hi guys I am new to FF14 and a WoW refugee
weclome Buddy
Thanks Seth
I got a few questions
so does the MSQ ends around my first character reaches lvl 80?
If you just do msq and nothing else
doing msq will end you a lv 80
because right now my first class/job is a paladin and nothing else
you can level 2 characters and do some daily roulette once a day
you can reach paladin to lv 80 by just doing the msq
but I reckon you'll overlevel'd your MSQ if you only keep 1 character
I see,
can try out other class, just change weapon and use gearset
so after my first lvl80 every other class I try to level up will mainly base on dungeons/trials etc. no more MSQ right?
yeah
MSQ is only done once, you can access newgame+ to replay those quests but they give no reward
ok thanks, since MSQ takes a long time to complete, leveling up late game must be hard?
pick blue quests around you as well, they give decent exp some times
Nope
nope
I heard MSQ takes around 700 hours to complete?
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
you have armoury exp, so for example if your paladin is lv 70, any class that you unlocked lv <70 will gain 100% job exp bonus
msq doesn't take that much
MSQ isn't that hard, just enjoy the ride and the story
Nah some people have made it to shadowbringers without reaching 7 days of playtime
all the MSQ duties can be done blind
And that’s 168 hours
I will be honest, so far the story isn't THAT interesting, but again I'm not a big story person.
but maybe I'm still in the early stage, my pally only lvl 35
in ARR the story is meh
Post ARR kicks it up a notch
but after that things gets intrested
ARR story can be a hit or miss depending on the person
i like the ARR story personally :>
I kinda just skip the cutscenes altogether, do you guys recommand that or no. Because whether I watch the dialogue or not, I do not know what's going on all the way to lvl 35 so far
Skim don’t skip
well story is the main content of the game
others are just side content
hence why everything is locked behind the story
i see, yea I might of missed the last 3 hours of the story then, i've been skipping lol

I think you shouldn't skip, but if the pace of ARR is killing you, honestly reading a summary, or watch it on youtube while doing something else to catch up.
@jade zinc i will deftinately do that
If you really don’t care you can just buy a story & lvl skip
Also, even without doing new game+, you can rewatch cutscenes at an inn.
So, why don't Trials give much experience besides for Trial Roulette? It's my favorite part of the PvE game, and I'm tired of spamming PotD lol
You are missing exp from killing dungeon mobs.
alright Ima get back into the game, thanks for the answsers
Trial doesn't take long to do
Enjoy !
Since there are none, it's just the raw trial exp, which isn't much.
Oh, ok
If trials is very good exp, then people would just do trial over dungeons
Also trials are very spread out in levels
all roulettes give decent-ish kinda exp for the time spent
and you can help newbies progress story
Trials would definitely be the best way to level if they gave good exp, Ifrit only takes a few minutes.
I dunno about ARR, but for the expansions, I believe that we have 3 mandatory trials
even the raid, 50/60/70, they give less exp than the others, but they give decent compared to when you do it individually
And another one mandatory in the patch msq
Ifrit to Titan has like 14 levels between
I just wish they gave at least a decent amount of xp compared to how much time they take. I'm tired of spamming the same dungeons over and over or spamming PotD for my alt jobs
What they give is decent for how much time they take
As said, if the exp reward is any better
Normal raid and 50/60/70 roulettes do NOT give good exp per time spent
That is patently untrue
Then you won't be doing dungeons or potd
if you take your time and just do roulette daily, it won't be as exhausting
msq and leveling are the one huge exp
and the more dungeon you unlock, the more variation you have
The roulettes that are good for exp are leveling, alliance raid, main scenario, and PvP
Raid and trial roulette, imo, is okay if you only needed a bit of exp to level up
It feels exhausting when I want to play a lot of different things at once lol.
And to some extent Trials
the tomestone event supposed to end on nov 19th right?
No
The rest are not good for exp at all
exp wise i mean, cause they are short
Will be 3rd Dec now
when will it end then?
it got extended since ew got delay
thats why they don't give tomes like normal, 50/60/70
ah ok
i have some problem and i need to discuss with you guys
so i have 2 class left on level 50
other already 60 and above
im gathering the tomestone from roulette AR raid
do you think it would be better for me to do the levelling roulette with tanker and let the 2 class level up slowly from the AR?
What edition of the game do you have?
All expansions?
What roles are these jobs
tank healer dps ?
And have you done your msq
I don’t even really understand the question
Alliance raid roulette is similarly good to leveling roulette
I don’t see what the problem is
Tanks do get worse queues for alliance raid
So if you want to ensure fast queues you could spend levelling roulette on tank and AR roulette on the other job each day I guess
(what's the tomestone event that was being discussed before that question?,)
I think it is not worth the effort to think about optimizing your Duty roulettes level grind
Just do them
(is it the tomestones thst are like, 3/raid or something?,)
@snow surge moogle tomestone
Certain PvE contents now offers a unique bonus tomestone that you can earn to trade for vanity items
All PvP modes give moogle tomes
Cool shirt, mounts, minions etc
PvP too
Trade them with itinerant moogles in any of the three starting cities
Right by the aetherytes
Afaict, all but a few of the rewards you can get normally, but for now you can use the tomestone to trade for them
Jacket is the go to purchase, as it’ll most likely never return
Instead of grinding specific contents for them
Yes inferno jacket can only be obtained from this event
!itemglam inferno jacket
So if you want it, prioritise it
Thanks for the advice.
How to get rid of the sprout icon?
type /nastatus
7 days playtime + completing post stormblood to permanently lose it
But... Why would you want to?
Basically free trial players cant?
Temporarily
There’s no reason to though
It makes it more likely others will help you or be patient with you messing up
Hello, just wanna ask
Which retainer class should i go for my 2 retainers?
for combat, the class that you play the most
so you can throw all your old equipment to them
for dol, I think Fisher is quite nice
Fisher is the least useful by far
Get one combat (whatever you have leveled, as retainers can’t surpass your own level in a class) and one either BTN or MIN
All combat retainers gather from the same item pool, there’s no difference between them in that regard
is there a way to see how many custom delivery allowance i have?
I think from the live letter, in 6.0, the company action that reduce raise penalty will be removed right?
Replaced with longer sprint duration in cities
Nice
Really glad about it
Now I no longer need to feel bad for raiding while being in a casual FC
