sorry to bother,just wondering which do you think is better either min or btn?
Eh don’t think either is objectively better
oh alrite then
when a knockback effect happens, does it happen gradually or binary? as in, if you use a reposition ability in the middle of knockback, can you save yourself going off the edge?
if you off the edge, you probably wouldn't be able to
I haven't tried this however
but if you aren't off the edge, you could kinda "cancel it" to maintain uptime
Knockback immunity like arm’s length must be popped before the knockback goes off or it will not work
However something like a gap closer
gap closers is what i'm asking about
so the game considers you to just move quickly during the knockback then
it also depends on the knockback
some are just too fast to cancel with a gap-closer without near perfect timing
i bet it's also latency dependant
I never tried this cause afaik there's no mech that ask you to rely on gapcloser to avoid knockback off the edge
afaik if you knock to the edge, you just fall, you can't gapclose back
I only ever use it to maintain uptime
there are tons if you consider messing up what you're supposed to do a part of the mechanic
is there a website that tells me how much time does each relic take ?
I have a friend I wanna help farm for Moogle Tomes, but they just finished the main part of ARR. Is there a efficient way to level blue mage from 1-50 for them so they arent subjected to praetorium runs?
If I have one class at 80, can I run roulettes on another and still get recent tombstones?
can run rival wings
Yes, you to kill mobs together but do not be in a party together
BLU runs around and tags mobs, level 80 player kills them
hello can someone confirm something, will the viera hairstyles be added at 6.1 with hrothgar or at 6.0 ?
you have to run the roulette at level 80 to get allegory and revelations
Thanks
Yeah, I was aware of the Kholusia method, but I wasnt sure what ARR areas could/would be efficient, especially since they are not in HW yet
As long as BLU gets the first hit on the mob, and the two of you aren’t in the same party, the BLU gets the exp when the other player kills it
Ah
kill lv 49 mobs
Northern Thanalan then
it would be less efficient but it would still work
Hrothgar will not get more hairstyles at 6.0, it will be later
no i meant viera will be delayed with hrothgar?
none that I really know of.
why do people call tomestones tombstones? is that their phone's autocorrect?
I think tombstone is the in game mobile phone?
no
no, they're all tomestones
reading comprehension is hard, as shown by many people in this chat 😛
then probably misread
Those are linkshells
tombstones is either autocorrect or people not knowing the correct spelling
as in, a book-stone
Misread probably
Viera in 6.0, Hrothgar 6.1

linkshells are walkie-talkies, if you link your account to a mobile app, you get an emote /tomestone where your character scrolls through a tomestone like it's a smartphone
sadgee
why do you want to know? the way people does it are different
do you need a riding map for bozja/zadnor if you already own the bike mount or does it cap at 1 star speed
they take a lot of time, that's for sure 😹
you still need it, afaik bike doesn't give the speed boost
you won't need the maps if you use the bike
huh???
why I still run faster than people who use bike
in bozjan, I assume they don't have riding map?

hmm maybe my memory is wrong 🤔
idk how to test it however
but i remember I travel faster than someone with a bike in zadnor*

They do
Labyrinth of ancient raid mechanics for tank?
if there's only 1 boss, turn off tank stance
Hello Everyone! can someone tell me if their are any preferred worlds in the US
if there's multiple boss, take the mob depending which alliance you are
alliance A = left, B = center, C = right
No preferred worlds anywhere
Why so?
@boreal storm Unlucky... Thanks for the info!
so the boss won't turn around
like 3 tanks fighting for enmity
you can kill people by doing this
So i should only turn it on if other tanks arent?
yeah
Ok 1 more
Wdym by "if theres multiple bosses, take mobs"? The boss shouldnt be tanked?
i mean take the boss sorry
but usually if it's multiple boss, they aren't that big of a deal
and sometimes they are a group of mobs instead of a single boss
Ok thanks 👍
I was a bit nervous to do this first time as a tank, since tank needs to lead everyone. I hope everything goes fine 
why do item searches sometimes show this error message?
how is it possible for retainer's inventory to change while i'm not interacting with them?
it's because of how the game queues item storage
if something gets sold id guess?
when something is being sold it is no longer in the inventory
the database that updates based on your search can be outdated by a few minutes
most of the time it is accurate
however, as there is still a delay, they disclaim it by saying it might not reflect the status
it's especially bad if you queue it if you haven't used your retainers in a while
if you have inventory for example on a retainer, but have not opened it in over 90 days
the database table was flushed out and the search will have difficulty determining what items you have
tl;dr old spaghetti 1.0 code that was never hauled
i wouldn't call that 1.0 spaghetti code
i feel like most of the technical problems in this game stem from poor database management
caching is a fundamental part of keeping most large scale systems running efficiently
and that is what it does, but because it uses a cache like that, the results from a ping to check inventory status is compared to the cache instead of to the live result
and thus creates that window of delay
caches are likely timestamped, and if during a search, it sees the cache is older than a certain period of time, it sends that warning message
Sorry how do i change the voices to another language in the game?
system config -> other setting
ah ok ty
nothing ff14 does with their data management is revolutionary
assuming its poorly done for some reason or another is presumptuous
everything is managed in a way required to keep servers running efficiently, people assume its easy but fail to grasp the impact when you scale up to thousands of players per server
Why leaf turn 3 and bountiful harves 2 is locked? is it behind job quest?
yea
If I've done the daily roulette for leveling and no bonus applies, is it still benefitial to do over regular dungeon queue? Let's assume I get the highest dungeon available to me anyway. I assume even without the bonus the standard extra exp for doing roulette queue is benefitial?
shouldn't run leveling roulette more than once daily
doing a roulette for the 2nd time that day is the exact same as directly queueing for that dungeon
unless you're an adventurer in need, i dont think there is any bonus beyond the first daily run
and the adventurer in need bonus, is minimal
I see I thought the EXP number given on the right, without the arrows up (for daily bonus) was standard extra yo uget
so unless you can get adventurer in need, and guarantee you get your highest level dungeon, its probably not worth it
Just that every dungeon scales anyway, so I don't get how it's "never worth it". Even if I do get a level 16 dungeon at level 70. (Especially considering the 50/60/70 stuff is inferior in general).
if it says Adventurer in need (Tank/Healer/DPS) above it, then its only for whatever role is needed
once youve done the roulette once a day, the base roulette exp isn't rewarded again, itll disappear from the menu
I don't understand that part about scaling tho. If I get "pulled down" to level 16 for example, enter a dungeon and run it, the EXP is lower as for a higher dungeon sure, but I also need less exp to level up, right?
same exp req
to when you are lv 79
so you and the player who's lv 16 in your party will receive the same exp
but you and the other person have different lvl up exp req
The bonus at the end is what scales, not the dungeon itself
I thought it was the same cause it shows "Level 16" and the exp under the bar is way lower than if I was 79
I meant this bit. It changes and the total exp also lowers whilst in a lower level dungeon.
wouldn't be hard to test
it wouldn't
take a screenshot before, then inside dungeon when synced, then after
that's why you only run the roulette once a day fam
andcheck the exp given in the chat box
we already told you that
this is why, when people ask about the quickest way to level alt jobs, the answer is usually, "spam highest level dungeon"
i have never seen anyone say to spam roulettes
you do ur daily roulettes, then do dungeons manually
yeah same, I know that's the consensus, was just curious about why and how it works.
some of the lower level dungeons are quite easy, cakewalks
Bonus-less roulettes are inconsistent with exp, never do the same one more than once a day
roulette is to keep all content still relevant and rewarding, BUT, not to make it so players spam it all day to level
Roulette is faster queues for certain things like expert roulette
Oh btw, the whole Fantasia to change appearance thing: Is there a way to save your previous appearance like a template in case you wanna go back? Or can I check the settings I have applied so I can reapply them?
yeah, by the end you finished and appearance there's always a prompt to save it
I've only ever simply created my character, never dabbled in it. That's great to hear! Thank you!
Do I simply just use the item and I get to a creator menu or somethging?
using fantasia adds an option on your login screen to customize your character
before login
yeah, once you use it, you log out and change appearance on your character select
Oh right, otherwise it won't work at all?
So I use it, log out, then I get the option right?
you right click your character, yeah
Is it worth still doing Ishgard Restoration for Crafters after lvl 60, or would Levequests or something else be faster to level up past 60?
The recipes go up to lvl 80
Leves are only better for 70+
How do I get myself Allagan Tomestones of Poetics? I did the dungoeon with the ice dragon like the help in game said to do since it said “dungeon” but nothing 🤷♂️
You get them from doing lvl 50/60/70 content
what's the dungeon name?
Bring up the currency menu
Prolly one of the Vigils
oh I thought the burn 😂
Uhhhh yes
Cus they said snow dragon
Vigil
Snow vigil is like lvl 40 something
yeah, you can't get that yet
Idk where to access lvl 50 stuff
you need to finish ARR

stone vigil is lv 41, just continue the MSQ
MSQ?
!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.
Oh wait nvm
Why would you get a message about poetics then?
you will showered with poetics when you finished ARR
I am at the part of the story called “Rock The Castrum” and it said to get all gear to lvl 50 and it said best thing to do to get the armor is to get the poetics and exchange them
And now idk where to get the poetics
I have all the Gladiator Gear but the bet at lvl 50
You can’t do that yet and Castrum is the first dungeon to give poetics
If u can go into the dungeon ur gear is fine
MSQ
If you're wearing the lvl 50 pld job set
Did you open the coffer from your job quest
You're fine
The MSQ won’t let me in
you need to do your job quest
take a photo of your msq tracker
Item level, you need to raise it to at least 42
How do I raid item lvl?
your lv 45/50 job quest will give you ilvl 90 left side of your equipment
Sorry for the questions
you need them
Kk lemme check the job stuff#
start -> x
that's your ilvl
take a screenshot of your msq tracker
and post it here

do the (!) quest
You’re supposed to do job quests anyway because some necessary skills are locked behind them
no 2
What item lvl is that weapon
press left dpad and click the "Recommended gear button"
46
Oh the jewelry is dragging
have you been pressing your recommended gear button?
I did
hmm
I pressed equipt
your necklace and one of your rings look very low level
you might haven't opened all your coffer item
Also make a gear set, for when you eventually get another job
Coffer?
Look in your inventory for a box
Highest the coffer I have is 49
What’s the difference between tombstones of allegory and revelation?
Allegory is for i490/500 gear, Revelation is for i520/530 gear
So revelations are more important?
Does levelling roulette give something like fixed 2 level?
No
yes
early access should be at 2am PDT still right?
unknown
Kinda? There is a “limited leveling roulette” option and limits it to within like 5 levels below the lowest in the group
the time we use for the expansion timer is just based on what time the shadowbringers maintenance was
That’s not what they asked
Then what did they ask?
“Does leveling roulette always give me 2 levels of exp”
Oh
ah yeah just making sure that was still the assumption for maintenance, DST confusing me lol
he also might still have the road to 70 buff
I deciphered it as if it is a fixed range of 2 levels
Shame they aren’t here to clarify...
Leveling is heavily based on what level you are going in
Lower levels gain a lot off of mob xp, but for a lvl 70+ you may only get 1/3rd a level
Always use food for dungeons and alliance raids too
... do alliance raids themselves give exp???
i would doubt it theyre at lvl caps
a decent amount, but not enough to spam
oh wow
I didn’t bother with them outside of the daily exp from the roulette
thought it would be like expert thst gives 0xp
And 80 is the current cap
old experts too
an okay amoutn but very time inefficient
And they’re lvl 80 content
old expertd from sb hw etc
Why wouldn’t those give exp? It’s no longer the level cap
Why wouldn’t you hit it is the real question
yea u still get the exp
no need
everyone in the party automatically get all the exp
you don't get partial exp or anythng, and as stated as long as you are in the dungeon you get the exp
so if you somehow don't tag an add in a pack as x class because it was fucking off somewhere you'll be fine
but still hit all the adds you can because kills them faster etc etc
msq roulette isn't about the adds anyway so
don't really stress over it
0dps healers still get the exp 
Don’t be a leech tho, do something
ideally zero DPs healers are vote kicked
If I use party finder to find an unsynced run of the ARR EX Trials, how much do you actually do? Do lvl 80 people just nuke the boss, or do you do the encounter normally?
nuke the boss
Absolutely nuked
if you want to do mechanics you do it synced
okay cool
Phase changes still happen, then you go back to nuking
nah i just wanna farm the mounts for Kirin
Level 80 characters would literally take <3s to kill the bosses if they didn't have invuln phases
unsync will nuke the boss in under a minute kirin farm's ezpz if you got an 80 with you
Garuda EX dies in like 5 seconds, no exaggeration
generally faster for some if you have BLU but still quick
if you have BLU garuda EX is a 3 second run solo
It’s where people farm tank mounts
same with ifrit and levi
Especially zero DPS SGEs
Not by any real amount if they've tuned the echo correctly
hopefully
It doesn’t count for both though, right? Only the unarmored ones?
are there any world servers to avoid as a semi new/returning player? like highest lvl was 12 so just starting from scratch
The entirety of Aether
Nope
Stop giving joke answers to people asking serious questions dingus
Aether is open now isn't it
facts
joke answers aside yeah fuilteach is correct
ha get it
there's not really any servers you should avoid they're all the same
besides uh
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
generally target your desired or avoid your undesired demographic
I make this joke all the time and I've been waiting for someone else to
Too many people packed on Aether because it’s the “raiding” data center, and most of the streamers are there, and will be beyond slammed on the 3rd onwards for a month and a half
but otherwise any work for noobs none are elitist traps
If you don’t like role play, I guess avoid Crystal
youre welcome 
That's not a reason to not be there, every server's gonna be packed on every DC anyway
it is an objective fact that aether's the most popular DC in NA atm for population alone
but that's not a noob issue
that's just a population issue
pick aether if you want / if your friends are on there
issues with aether population will also balance out once cross-DC is implemented
Either way
either way aether is not bad to pick
what's the difference?
Crystal and Primal people will just go to Aether looking for groups
A server being popular isn't a reason to avoid it
if a person wants to be there it's not unplayable
I've only ever heard that Aether raiding sucks compared to Primal
just come to primal and join me @ famfrit 
The only reason I can tell that you think that is because of Gilgamesh, which is irrelevant now
Probably because people flooded Aether trying to get carries
either way this is anecdotal / speculation at best. it is an objective fact that aether has had congestion issues that have recently cleared up, and it will likely regain a huge population during EW drop
that being that is the only concrete reaosning for why one may want to avoid or even join aether because of its vast population
wait how does crafted item collectability work? is it basically HQ%?
so make that decision based on how you feel about that
correct
Aether and primal are the same experience for the most part.
did they talk about any friend list changes like mutual removal at all during the most recent live letter?
Nope
they did not
Technically the Quality fraction numbers, but yes
We do not have accurate info on pop numbers.
aether has had congestion issues before, that's the most concrete thing we'll get on if aether will exclusively be the most congested and that's speculation atm ost
i have no doubt that everything will be clogged for the first 2 weeks of EW and subsequently savage
aether or no
Yes but it also took no new players for 3-4 weeks
it will flatten over time
So there’s like 3 collectibility break points for each item, if you don’t reach the lowest one you can’t turn it in
either way the question was framedi nt he context of a new player
for right now? aether is fine
Raiding scene isn’t very different either
Except primal always uses cursed pf strats for some reason
1 month till EW, doesn't matter what happens then. if they make a character now and then play then? also should be fine asides long queue times
the issue with aether's overpopulation was, at worst, the long entry queue
which took a few minutes at worst
not including the server capacity issues back-end ofc
Ah, thought it was longer at it’s peak a few months ago, like 15-20 minutes
i would not put it past that tbh, i am just reciting what i've heard
Not reliable information
which was just asmongold / rich hype
Only gives a loose indication
luckybancho is not entirely reliable yeah
All pop surveys come with significant caveats.
until we get concrete numbers we can't assume anythiing, just loose speculation
It gives decent enough indication though
That primal and aether are basically equal pop
Though it’s a little bit blind to new chars
crystal is a bit more as of may which is surprising to me for that relative trend
all are 30k+ 😁
Crystal been preferred
that is true
am i just blind or does the game does not tell you how to get "Relic Weapon Zenith" for your ARR relic? i mean i googled around and found that you have to click on the furnace but how would i know that without google?
all the quests are not visible which blows
Hey guys, just reading about the new house purchasing thing. does that mean its completely random
for the lottery? yes
or can i still just buy a plot
housing will exist in two states for different plots
it will either be
- how it is now with the placard clicking
or - lottery system
Ahhh
Speaking to the moogle nearby gives the hint
can ffxiv run in windows 11?
So only certain spots will be available during lottery
the only changes to method 1 is that you can no longer relocate immediately, evening out the playing field on relocators who just trounce on placards
and yeah lottery will only affect plots that actually have the lottery system on them
AHhh ok
that is bizzarely cryptic
No worries
yeah they did away with taht for every subsequent relic
It was the first upgrade step ever
The first step was “go find an old weapon, [insert beast tribe] has it”
it says exactly what to get in the quest description though, unless that was introduced later
Is blue mage going to go to level 80 in Endwalker?

The timer only appears when done undersized.
how do have a timer time for dungeon for coil runs?
.
Just time it with pc/phone if you want something exact
ok thanks!
Or look at the instance timer right when you kill the last boss
how do i get achievement certificates
you automatically gain certificates as a currency by doing achievements
it's not readily apparent
Talk to Jonathas in old gridania

If I wanna dye an item that I want to use on my glamour plate, do I dye it first and then put it in the dresser or how exactly does it work?
Dye it in the dresser for permanent changes
Oh cool, thanks!
you can do it either way
what fuil said and what you suggested about dying first will both work
Can I "temporary dye" it to see if it is what I would want?
yes you can preview dyes on your glamour plate
and it will not apply until you hit apply on the palte itself
Fantastic, gonna test now thanks!
the best way to farm materia is to spam dungeon right ?
What materia exactly
do ur eq get spiritbond when u sync down ur equipment ?
I would argue yes, as when I was chasing cards from dungeons, I got plenty of materias from the 75+ ones xD
battle grade 1 to 4
You’d need to use lower item lvl gear
need them for ARR relic
Sorry automatically assumed you'd want highest rarity.
sure? but not really worth to do that when you can just buy it off the mb
Unless the dungeon has “a similar item lvl to your gear” you don’t get spirit bond
Meaning ironworks would only bond from like item level 110-130 duties
Sorry, where exactly is the "dye" option once you're inside your glamour plate and putting on different armor?
Right click, dye
I only get this:
(And I can't right click on the right side where the armors are)
But again if want the dye to stick, do it in the dresser not the glam plate
you have to do a quest with a process to dye it
Oh? I've done all the quests I could see on all maps. Where is this?
you can dye af 50 armor
You have to augment the armor to make it dyeable
Thanks I'll look at that!
Then you need to exchange the desired Augmented gear to Kakalan at Mor Dhona with a 3-star Alchemist Craft (2 for body and legs).
So I simply d othis then?
Do you have a 50+ alc
Sadly not yet but I figured maybe it's something a friend could help out with? Or is it another of those "untradeable" sthigns?
the specific item you need can also be purchased off the marketboard, assumnig you're not free trial
no it tradeable
they are quite cheap at marketboard usually
Oh then I should be good 😄 Unless I missed something
So I'll take it out of glamour dresser, get the items and acquire the augmented which I then put in the dresser.
yeah
Ok thanks. I guess it'll cost me then, no worries
When I am farming a relic weapon for a certain job, can I farm it again for another or how does it work?
hi, how i can get chocobo if i skip main quests? Im join grand company
to get earlier steps again you can buy a replica for 1k gil @slim lion
since the upgrades are linear you wont need to revert back
!faq mount
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.
Doesn’t story skip unlock mounts for free
if you buy a story skip you get mounts for free
it does
i was just not sure if they mean skip skip or just skim through story
Since they’re required to beat the game
But for example if I farm relic weapon for black mage, can I farm it again for the summoner or how does it work?
It’s a different weapon
yep, from the start
but i dont have it
^
it doesn't come on your hotbar immediately
Okay, because I want to farm relic weapon for my black mage. But I want to farm it for the summoner as well during endwalker
you have to do the entire thing again, some relics in certain expansions skip prior steps
Thanks for the help

You can do multiple relic weapons at a time
Just not the same step simultaneously
I don't see it at the Salvager, but I do find the Augmented Trueblood one for DRG... Does it look similar to Drachen btw?
yeah for shb you acn do up to 5 (6?) concurrent relics on different steps
it's from the guy at the forgotten knight for centurio seals
why they sell it there is beyond me
but it's there
I heard getting heavensward wep relic is the easiest
it's the least grindy if you have the materials stocked up
i wonder, does a dungeon provide the same amount of experience for human group and a squadron group?
but still really bad if you don't
Did you not do the job quest
Oh that explains it, I'll check it out, although I'd rather waste gil than centurio seals >_>
it should
it's just that squadron is slower
Is there something a new player need to do early on? Or I just do the quests first?
unlock challenge log maybe but yeah
if you don't know what to do, do
and 
first one is necessary for unlocks, second one is side content unlock
also your job quests

do both number 1 and do number 2. number 2 takes priority the instant you see you can do it
Like 1
out of 70 give something besides lore, so don’t really bother with them
Can someone help me get to level 30? I'd appreciate it very much.
just do dungeons, otherwise put up a pf or check out #recruitment-chaos
ok thx
Do msq if you aren’t talking about an alt
msq?
ah ok
hey guys. for gear crafting is it better to focus on control or craftsmanship?
Both
You need control to get quality, and you need craftsmanship to get progress
Always go for HQ if you can
In order to purchase a house or apartment in ishgard once the patch dropped, will you have to have finished the msq or just reached ishgard? I've already reached shadowbringers but am still not done with it and would like to take my time with it, but I also want to get an apartment in ishgard when it's available. Is there any info on that?
kk thx
for the 75 materia for ARR relic
The Ishgard housing quest will most likely be in the lvl 50-60 range
do i need grade 1 to 4 or can I use any grade i want
Okay, thank you!
1-4
You get locked of using a certain materia if you put too many of it in
“You can use a maximum of 11 materia of one grade and type per tier.”
just buy piety/spell speed or irrelevant stats
they will cost less than crit/dh
they usually cost like 500 gil each
They’re on trial
im new currently on trial but is this the right one to get? https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/564956/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download

Keep in mind that the Windows version won't work if you are playing on steam. Also make sure that you are purchasing the game from the right region.
Hey guys, what's the best way from 70-80?
Dungeons or bozja
Does anybody know what this error is? I don't know if it's just me but I just started getting it a bunch today
It kinda just happens randomly. One time I was interacting with my aesthetician, another in a cutscene, and another just standing around
Just got First Serpent Lieutenant and wondering if I now do 5 different Command missions, will I get captain? Or is there something else before that?
Try copying the error and googling it?
Otherwise can try downloading:
!faq quicklauncher
Completion of "Flagged Mission: Sapper Strike" via Adventurer Squadrons.
Unlocking this requires doing 5 different Command Missions.
🤷
Ah perfect, so 5 Command (different ones) then I do that single mission. Thank you!
Seems so yea
so for SAM, you use the short cooldown that lets you bypass combos by getting the buffs on pull faster and priming the dot, and then during combat you just do all 3 finishers to get one quick mega attack?
for boss encounters/raids, you want to apply the buffs manually
so it's always better to spend that cooldown on faster megaattack?
yes
I only use Meikyo Shisui for the buffs at the start of dungeons while the tank is pulling the mobs
and then hopefully just perpetually keep it up with the aoe combo
and you wont even have to do that in a month
yep, and 6.0 Meikyo will also make the single-target combo finishers apply the buffs
for some reason i can't get a 2nd drop of the same atma
So EW SAM might legit just start off fights with 4 midares and the new super-finisher

i can use 1 class to farm all the atma i need right?
don't you need 12 different ones
yes, getting them is a matter of RNG
just need to keep trying if you want extras for future classes
do you use the uhhh the short cooldown in aoe situations? seems like it barely speeds it up
yeah
its been 15 fate, i have yet to get 1
It's faster Sen to use on Tenka
What zone are you in? And do you have the Zenith Zodiac Weapon equipped?
lower na nosca, with ninja zenith weapon equip
just gotta keep trying then. :\
whats a good clothing glam nowadays? want to make a gift
entirely depends on your taste/style you want.
opener is 2 midare 1 higanbana 1 super finish
I liked using this chestpiece for a bit.
even if we drop bana sam legit has too much burst to fit in 20s
i guess i change my wording whats popular nowadys

"Why can't I hold all these Sen?"
generally whatever is the newest stuff, so Frontier and Urban/Rebel stuff
emperor’s new robe is always popular afaik
mogstation stuff also all the rage
kk
I like using this chestpiece for winter-themed sets
!iglam Whisperfine Woolen Coat

this looks good thanks
Reminder that this is the #questions-and-help channel @quiet acorn. Do not intentionally troll. 
😩 no ban pls
you use meikyo to get a midare quickly
already answered thanks
optimal meikyo usage, outside of the opener, is somewhat within its cooldown if you can’t get it right off cd
you always want 2 gekkos / kasha, and the opposite
no yukikaze
I'd have to doublecheck, but I'm pretty sure not.
How is it possible that all the Aesthete gear sold on Primal is made by the same person?
very
monopoly and persistence
They’ve cornered the market
the walmart approach
what's the best way for me to get equipment to turn into seals?
I have the Windows free trial version, if I buy the game on steam would that "transfer" the license or do I need to make a entire new account?
I solo HW leveling dungeons or do level 80 dungeons and need/greed everything
for HW dungeons, I prefer The Aery
got it, i'm on a relic binge atm, so need as many as i can

quick question guys! is it advisable to cap current yellow/white scrips for EW? or will they be of no use in new expansion?
they'll be worthless, but you'll be able to convert them into white scrips when 6.0 launches, which will take the place of Yellow Scrips
good to know, thanks!
Or how do you sign up via steam? When I hit play this is what I get
guildhest is pvp ?
no, guildhest is small instances, mini fights which teach you mechanics
read them in the duty finder
ty
there are about a dozen of them up to level 40, higher level ones appear when you've done the lower level ones at least once
and they give a exp bonus on first completion with each class
can someone explain why such a huge difference in item level only shows up in a rather minor increase in stats? is it because of the materia slot?
I know one is blue and one is not, but shouldn't equal stats mostly mean equal item level?
Is there a way to keep a similar movement scheme of legacy movement (strafe left and right, and run backwards), but also keep the ability to rotate my camera to look around me with left click?
so i unlock "bajoza" or whatever is the name of that area after i finish this quest line ?
the dwarven pan is only nq so it has bad stats
yep, the whole questline
you mean I should compare colored items only to HQ colorless items?
Yep. Completing the Ivalician questline and 5.0 unlocks this quest:
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Hail_to_the_Queen
yeah no use to get nq crafted gear
k ty
hmm ok. I didn't plan on going NQ, I was just looking through my recipes
I’m newer to ffxiv and this may be a dumb question but for PS4 do most just use Discord for party, instance and other group gameplay?
only for difficult content
you can play the main parts of the game with no real need for discord outside of social stuff
as hq it has a craftsmanship of 657 and 356 control so a big difference
Okay cool, I just didn’t want to seem rude or anything, thank you
how do I see HQ stats on an item?
if I only have NQ?
or the recipe
if you're on PS4 most people will understand, but i'd also recommend a cheap usb keyboard
Hold R2 and it should toggle between NQ/HQ stats
(looking at you il mheg quest)
might be L2
apparently control on pc, thanks
Makes sense to have one for quick messages, but does that also mean unplugging the controller, plug in the keyboard, then plug the controller back in?
i'm pretty sure you can just slot the usb into the 2nd port
Ok cool, I have a wireless keyboard I’ll try with, thank you for the help
story dungeons for all but two of them
noted, thanks
Guys quick question. Just finished HW and wanted to switch jobs. What would be the best way to lvl from 50-60 on a DPS job? I normally lvl my characters with the squadron thingy but that stops at 50.
!faq altlvlguide
Ty!
I got an automated email notifying me about having 15 days additional playtime for having my ‘first’ character reach lvl 30 , but I did this on an alt character and have been subbed for over 90 days playing on my main. So what is this?
was that alt made on a preferred or new server?
I've seen some players just dart in towards a gathering node, immediately dismount midair and suddenly their character is already mining. Is this even possible?
uh, yes it was
is that why? a benefit of being on a preferred server?
dismount and right click the node
Note that there's like 300ms of movement delay sometimes
i think specifically for a new server but i'd need to check
so how would I access this when I am already subbed?
Itll likely just delay your next sub payment by another 15 days
I see, thanks for clarifying & sorry I didn’t look into the preferred benefits
Where can I sell items in this Discord?

So after completing the Stormblood alliance raid quest line, you would be able to do Resistance Rank, correct?
yes
I found you, faker!

where do i renew my sub?
Services when you log in on the website iirc
Yes
here?/
Do you see it?
yeah but a friend told me it was cheaper
steam price is diff?
i just wanted to pay the dec sub too
so i wouldnt need to worry
How many characters do you have?
1
ohhh
!faq subprice
Essentially, if you don't need the additional characters, just stick with entry
And thank God soon it will be one property per account
oooh complete edition on 60% discount?
^
Don't be me and purchase a sdcond servicr account accidentally lmao
I saw discount and insta-buyed
oof
Me when I saw the sale:
Is there a point to ranking up Shadowbringers Beast tribe to Bloodsworn? I already got all 3 mounts and the next rewards seems kinda eh

hells ya
but isnt it better to just wait EW and buy it?
Depends. Would it still be on sale due to the delay?
I remember seeing the end date as 12/7
Idk tho
when zones are sharded, do hunt marks spawn in the same places in each shard?
server is diff i guess
EW here is 105,99 BRL
this complete edition is 133,69 BRL
i suppose so? kinda new and still meandering around free trial
i think the buying guide's in the #beginner-lounge pins
I think so
I think I'm just not allowed to play ffxiv
is there a reliable way to force an instance hop for eureka/bozja
Leave the locked instance and brute force it
That's what I do.
Either that or wait.
I'm not talking a locked instance
Then I'm not sure what you are asking.
How do I hide the interface and take screen shots in game?
there's multiple instances of bozja happening at any given time, I want to leave one and end up in a different one
slash gpose is the custom screenshotting button
if you're just looking to hide your ui, there's a hotkey for it I can't remember the default
So I need help cause I'm so confused I update my password I go to login and it's wrong
mine is on insert but I don't think that's default ui setting
scroll lock is the default keybind for that
but you can rebind it in the options
Thanks.
one guide says an enemy "cannot be tanked" does that mean that the enemy won't change who it's attacking?
usually that describes an enemy that attacks whatever it wants
Probably but could you link the guide?
and ignores the enmity table entirely
like it will be wandering around attacking thin air or random people
I can only think of 1 time where that would happen

Oh yeah I forgot how wonky old dungeons were lol
They tether to dps and won't change their target
There's handfuls of that
Like Jadg doll
do you guys remember the boss that i'm thinking of? two hulking dragonid dudes and one of them just goes around the room swiping thin air
Stone vigil hard
that's probably it yes

You could also just stay in the same instance if you're farming for CLL, so you have a timer and know when it will be up rather than going into a new one and having to ask again. 😉
Even if you're farming specific skirms/CEs, you can do the same thing - just wait.
Farm clusters if you're killing time for MDK or CLL or whatever to spawn
I don't want to do that though. I want to do Dalriada.
oh so we're talking Zadnor
though, in terms of process, they're the same.
just wait. speed it up a bit by farming in z3.
and if I yell and hear it just ended, I have no interest in staying in that instance
Is the cryptlurker augmentation like the Exarchic? like, can I trade in a fending armor for an augmented casting one?
no, it's 1:1 in the case of cryptlurker
no you need nier coins
You could mettle farm, or level a job that's between 71-79
or sacks of nuts
Well crap, I bought the wrong one, gotta suck it up I guess
you're a tank main now i guess
I've done dalriada ~30 times
no, still need things for relics actually
ah, fair enough
But yeah I understand wanting to just fish for Dalriada
but it's probably not even worth it
can your gatherer retainers gather all mats from nodes? (with the exception of collectables ofc)
no there are some mats your retainers cannot obtain
easier to just sit in an instance and z3 skirm/cluster farm while you wait, to speed up the next spawn and farm mettle
get those rays
but all the easy ones are there
couldn't care less about the mettle honestly
are those in shb only o-o?
but the damage
also my main reason for me being in Zadnor at this point is to just xp farm
I run Dalriada when it pops but I mostly z3/skirm farm, because I need the second Menenius note to finish the field note set
I'm too stupid to do the duel
i don't know exactly which ones they cant fetch but i've been told that some exotic ones (like maybe legendary nodes that need folklore books?) are not on the list
I think it's basically everything but timed nodes?
(which folklore books belong to of course)
also of course they can't bring any sort of collectables
!faq blmleveling
ok
Hi! asking , does name chnge go on sale?
no
Was PVP in 14 always as bad as it is now?
how do i level up my alt in Bozja? what i have to do? fates?
And CEs yes
bad?
No
oki
Mobs are for fragments and clusters
I haven't tried the arenas yet, but the frontlines are terrible.
i think it's kinda okay
if you boosted a job and want the armor from the quests can you do the NG+ to get them or no?
You buy them back
Calamity salvager or centurio seals in the forgotten knight for 60 gear
it runs out
is there anything that someone still in HW patch quests should do/focus on before endwalker
Coils
Just curious why GLA is IL 3 while the rest are 2? They all have the same gear as seen there only different weapons obviously, but the GLA weapon is also IL 1 so what gives?

shield, probably.
But I don't use a shield?
Seems like a rounding thing?
the ring and the earring also increase in ilvl based on your level
Oh right!
but please... put on a shield
this is the reason
and GLA doesn't immediately get shields
(Just leveling them with afriend, I will use proper gear later pls don't hate 😂 )
they're level 10 so yeah
try to get one, it's literally your tanking stats
should have one
Again just quick leveling the classes, obviously not properly geared. Doing some FATEs.
I will get shield yes.
Still weird that MDR (Level 10) shows IL 2 same as GLA (level 10) but it has IL 3. So the syncing of the earring is weird in that case...
Has there been any confirmation of the following?:
1: Will we still get decent exp from Bozja/Zadnor for <80s after Endwalker?
2: Will we get exp at all OVER 80 from those places?
3: Will Delubrum Reginae start to give exp if done in Endwalker?
i dont think it's been confirmed but the answers based on previous expacs is probably "no, yes, and yes but not very much"
So I have the starter edition bought through steam. Shadowbringers is on sale on the mog station right now. If I buy dlc through the mog station will it work with the steam copy?
negative, it won't
dang
if you're on steam, you have to buy everything through steam (or something that is specifically for steam)
Ok thank you. Wanted to make sure before clicking anything
can i use my anemos weapon as glamour on another weapon? (and then remove it from it to put it on my next sword)
sure? use glamour prism?
okok thanks
if you hover over an item and it says "Projectable: Y" you can use it for glamour

!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.
for more information
How long would it take me to unlock this Katana? ( I just unlocked Eureka)
is there anything else i can buy with revelation tomes besides cryptlurker gear?
is there any way to make a glamour on a glamour plate invisible? so the armor that i have on wont obscure the rest of the outfit
alright thx :D
I use it for instances where, for example, I don't want the gloves to be showing

or the jewelry
i just started dark knight and im really confused on how it works
what does darkness do?
where do I turn in Phials of Thermal Fluid?
@languid cosmos if you mean darkside, it's just a damage buff to yourself
im not sure, fray just tells me to get in flames of darkness
oh uh that's just the job quest
Im missing 2 levels and i have 0 leves allowance. What i should do?
you want to get a couple of stacks but if you get too many you get stunned for a bit
nothing too important
my what
you should have a button called grit
Read your tooltips
i was an archer before this i have no idea what im doing
tank stance is super important as a tank
and yeah read all your abilities that you have on your bar
just go chop some trees manually
gotcha
so as a tank, you want enemies to hit you
thanks
diadem
well, with tank stance* and damaging enemies
or custom deliveries
the vendor only sells the prisms for me, theres no option to see anything else. maybe i need a certain expansion for it?
I don't think so... hang on a moment
Oh, wait - @lost sable to be able to buy it you need to have a level 15 (I think) crafter, unlocking the glamour prism recipes will also unlock purchasing these
is this directed at me or darkur?
to you @lost sable
yeah for the emperor's gear
ok thx everyone 
it doesn't take long to get a crafter to 15, dw
@candid tulip is your current weapon lower than 22?
I also know why I can't glamour my gear with that level, my weapon is lower for sure
eggsactly xD
thank you
yeah current gear has to be higher than glamour gear
whats the fastest way to farm nexus weapon light?
alright thx 
if i have a botanist levelled up a bit- which DoH should i choose to take the most advantage of that?
carpenter?
Is the login lockout, if I fck up my password, long?
wrong chat oops
you can't really draw a direct one on one connection like that, since all crafting and gathering is tightly interwoven, you have botanist so you can get wood for carpenter, flax for weaver to make string, vegetables for culinarian etc
btw how can people take pics of their characters with custom poses using gshade ?
but then those crafts will also need minerals from miner, gems, sand, salt, spring water, lots of stuff
is there a place to get blue level 80 mining gear from a quest or store, or just market board?
if u mean poses that arent from emotes, then its via anamnesis or CMT
ok
any preference to get started tho?
do em all in 5 lvl steps
