Missile, whistle, moon flute and final Sting
Moon Flute, Whistle, Final Sting
Bare minimum
Oh yeah, Missile
add on extras like missile, lv5 death
is there someplace where free trial players can ask for help on trials ? since we don't have access to the party finder
Which trials?
and what kind of help
any party you get in the duty finder will be able to do the trial with you
nidhogg's extreme trial
Presumably the clearing kind of help.
ah, extremes
yeah I need a drop from it, it could unsynched, i dont really care
Oh, yeah uh. You can try in #603040697884475393
oh sweet, thanks
What drop do you need from it?
Ah
Yeah, you can try asking in the recruitment channel if anyone's willing to farm it with you.
No guarantees though.
What IL of gear does the Heavensward MSQ give?
Better than Augmented Ironworks, yeah?
in the later half of the MSQ, yeah
first half or so will give you inferior gear to ironworks
Makes sense
i think it's about levels 54-56 you start getting equal or better gear
(and then at level 60 you can immediately buy heavensward's equivalent to augmented ironworks)
I didnt replace ironworks until 60, with the Shire set
Yeah the gear upgrades are negligible until Shire set is available
Right now I'm using a mix of ironworks and uh, daybreak?
A lot of ilvl 135 gear
Well if it’s your accessories you’d be better off buying ironworks
or reach lvl 60, do job quest for ilvl 210 but still, shire is vastly superior
Because those come pretty late iirc
i think you only need a higher item level by level 59
the duty for the level 59 msq needs ilvl 150
oh no nvm it syncs to 150
only need 120
so as long as the gear you've got right now averages out to at least ilvl 120, it's fine
I am looking for fine race male character . Any recommendations ?
you can play all the way to 60
150 would be a rather high bar
In terms of gameplay all the races are pretty much all the same
So it is really a choice based on what you like the look of most
What command/chat is the orange text/
/alliance by default iirc, but you can change colors
Oh okay! I mean this one?
that's shout
Thankyou ^^
I know , they have the same animations etc . I am looking for the races that looks the coolest . I do not know Hyur is too human , au ra looks too evil , Roegadyn is too big , Elezen i do not like for what ever reason , Lalafell is a freaking gnome i am not playing a gnome , Hrothgar has a hump . The only race i could consider is Miqo'te and male viera (but those aren't released yet).
white mage, scholar, astrologian, and soon to come is sage
white mage is the basic bread and butter healer, you should start with that
they start as conjurers
go miqo for now and swap to male viera later if ya want, story gives a free race change
Only white mage and Scholar are available early on, Astrologian must be unlocked
It is probably the only reasonable option.
Lovely, thank you very much
I would recommend white mage to start. They begin as conjurors
I assume it's somewhat like the cleric from dnd?
chad elzen
Fair enough, thanks
Nerd healers. got it!
Oh, is it worth trying the free trial before buying?
Or is it so different it's not the same game?
you get basically the full game up to the end of the first expansion
the only thing you miss out on is social stuff and the player market
but for actual content, there's nothing in the base game and expansion you can't do
very good
If i buy the character boost will i receive only level 400 accessories or do i get also get weapon , legs , chest , boots etc ?
Full set
you get everything
thanks
i believe you come equipped with the armor
and then get the chest with the accessories
a paid player in 2015 has the same amount of gameplay content as the current free trial
mb
had to edit
I’m new, where could I find a party of sprouts to learn with?
Do i keep my progress when i upgrade?
#beginner-lounge talk to people there
yep!
2017 technically
3.5 came out start of 2017
early 2017 but i'm not here to overcomplicate lol
Just be sure the full version is available in your region, in the case of steam
anyone played paladin recently is he any fun ?
Can someone explain me how someone can ROLL again for an unique item that he already owns?
And still get it.
he's got that item glamoured onto his current chest
but he doesn't have that item in his inventory
so for the purpose of "unique", he doesn't have it
At higher levels Paladin is fun
but his entire offensive magic kit is unlocked post-60
That's the stupidest thing ever, but then again.
Yeah once paladin gets magic he is more fun
$12 for a boost if you don’t want to bother with the level grind of pre-60 pally
My FC disbanded, and I was invited by some friends to world-transfer and join theirs--only to arrive and discover that my character's (IMO pretty unique) name was taken. Curious to see who had it, I looked it up on Lodestone and discover that someone has made a L1 copy of my WoL I've had since 3.0 and camped his name on every NA world. Is there a way to figure out who might be doing this? It feels really skeevy.
Yeah, it would be kinda a nightmare to implement a system where you isearch a player's everything to find if they have that item
you need to escalate to Square Enix support
I'm pretty sure isearch don't even work in instance
And by identical, I mean same appearance right down to birthday and god.
Alright, thank you!
Its a form of harrassment
It is, I'm really creeped out by it.
Unless you are epic pranking us by making the default midlander and naming them ardbert or similar
you mean 70+ ?
all jobs get more things to do at higher levels
I'm planning to buy ff14 complete edition it says that I get 30 free days but I already have a free trial account I can use that to get the free days right?

Is there something wrong with the primal servers atm? People keep mentioning stuff but idk if they are trolling
Is it worth doing the Eden's savage raids still for BiS?
Hi, so i noticed in HUD layout i have 4 sets which can have different UI layouts. Is it possible to copy my current layout from 1 to 2?
So that it will be easier to modify it?
this gear icon
Ye, i want the number 2 to be what number 1 looks like
Ooo nifty
Thanks!
Also, can my key binding be different on different UI layouts?
One for red mage and the other for warrior lets say?
I made a macro to change UI layout together with the class
I also want my key bindings to change to fix the class, is that possible?
unfortunately, that isn't a thing
Welp, alrighty
If I buy the FINAL FANTASY® XIV ONLINE COMPLETE EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD], will that automatically convert my account from trial to this, I still want to play for free, but also take advantage of the current sale price, basically buy now but use the upgrade later. Play time is very limited for me I'm still playing through first expansion. Thanks
You get a code
after you activate a code you will no longer be able to play for 'free'
there is 30 day free with the base game (included in complete)
after that it's subscription
and I assume the code does not expire?
it should not
There is one that does, which is the pre-order bonus code for Endwalker, which expires Mar 31 iirc. But base game and expansion codes do not. You can hold on to them to redeem when you're ready.
(note you do not get endwalker with current complete edition)
ah good to know, I feel it'll be a very long time before I get to that point
Thanks everyone you've all been very helpful
am i the only one having trouble with gamerescape? it doesnt work for me
It's not loading for me currently, but that's somewhat common to me
gamerescape has been having issues
they have a very aggressive regional blocking system
ah alright, was worried that it was just me lol
Does there Exist
An ARR Relic Cheat Sheet?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Relic_Weapons/Quest this page has always helped me
i don't have one, but here's an image comparing all of them
is the current event with currency still going till 18th or is patch 6.0 the official release patch on december now?
up until 6.0 maintenance
huw when is it xd

When is the latest date possible for preordering endwalker? I want to get the collectors edition
Im not sure if it changed because of the delay or what
If someone tells you to use more gcd heals and sacrifice some dps what do u guys usually do?

depends if they're actually accurate
if they're dying to aoes and not mitigating, then they're dumb
be very careful to see whether it is actually your problem that you're not healing enough
Did they ninja-buff WT or were these additional poetics of 700 + 1000 always apart of it? This the first time I've ever seen these rewards
the rewards change depending on class im p sure
i've not seen a reward layout like this
the only change i've noticed is if you have a level 80 job on your character
vs not
where do i get better gear than 70 / 400gs
if you have a lvl 80, the third column opens up
Lv75 story and dungeon
and you can totally choose the third column on a level 75 for example with allegory/revelations
is there a level range to which it's worth it to do the daily guildhest roulette?
not really? the first clear ever gets an okay chunk of xp
No
but the roulette is basically there for spamming commendations
and dungeon completion counter
I guess it’s there between 10-15
There's the challenge log I guess? But eh....
so daily guildhest is worth less than rerunning an already run dungeon outside of daily?
first clear ever of each guildhest
I guess
yeah, it's pants
if i use a referral code am i able to give mine to someone else later?
Yes, as long as you have registered starter edition and have active game time (either the free 30 days or paid sub time) you can get your code from mogstation to give to someone.
thanks, is there anywhere i can get a random referral code?
R/ffxivraf
thanks
i can give you one if you want
Just don’t post referral codes unprompted
What materia do you recommend for the Aesthete gear save for the head body and legs?
I don't really go into materia
So I'm really unsure
I get a error code when I tried to download the game on steam, stuck at 1338mb, I’m from Australia anyway I can get pass this ? Besides vpn
Is there a macroicon for a question mark?

How low is BITTER MEMORIES drop rate?
Been there an hour and just killing stuff and nada.
It's not terrible, especially with the amount of mobs you kill in a cluster group
It dropped for me before when I did SMN farm
Aight V, thanks. Will just wait and grind some more
there is bound to be one at least
To clarify just mobs, not FATE yeah?
Or either?
Random from CEs
It’s guaranteed from dungeons, ain’t it
Yes, from leveling roulette once a day, and from level 60 dungeons (synced only)
isn't bitter memories antitower?
Yeah anti
spamming antitower is so ridiculously optimal that you really shouldn't bother doing anything else
Seems to be the way
should do antitower ye, unless you're double dipping
I need 12
and cluster farming for both bitter and the previous steps' memories
I got all mine just casually cluster farming
Noted
For each relic
if i only play one character is there any reason to still go for the standard subscription?
Will do PF hah!!
so, i can do the roulettes on my lvl 80 character for tomestones of revelation/allegory, or on my lower lvl characters for exp. Which one is better aka which is harder to get, tomestones or exp?
if you prefer to pay for several months at a time, rather than month to month @peak dove
should also note that doing 3mos is still going to be more expensive than doing entry, and 6mos is going to be the same as entry. Also keep in mind, you're paying for 3/6mos up front if you do these options on standard
neither? whatever you currently need more
havent tried bozja yet for exp so idk how effective it is
purely based on your priorities
go for what you want more - gearing your levelcap job or leveling new one
Your lv80 char has access to lv80 roulette

and later on, expert roulette
yeah i have both, its just that leveling roulette and msq give a pretty hefty chunk of exp
personally would suggest using leveling/msq roulette for exp
rev/allegory is easily farmed with either lv80 dungeons or hunt trains
ah got it
that using those two for their tomestones is, atleast in my opinion, not worth
does anyone know with endwalker delayed if that means the moogle treasure trove end date is also pushed back?
yes
ok ty

I think that's Eternal Wind Shadowbringers

The video description has the names and links of the music
yupp thank you!
I only see these :(
Which Grand company should i join?
I'm pretty sure there isn't much difference besides some cosmetics and location, you can change GC if you want in the future
Whichever you think looks coolest
Depends witch of the main 3 did u spawn in
I spawned in ul dah
Then Flame would be best
No
That doesn't matter at all. You can pick which ever you want
Pick what you want
It’s right by the crystal you tp to for free
There's no functional difference or meta or anything
ok
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
How do i get a mount? it's os slow walking arround
Join a GC first
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.
...Wait is it normal for
Wondrous Tail to have huge Poetics weeks?
2,200 Poetics Books
If you are below 80 maybe? And can't get the other tomestones as rewards. It's been a while since I did WT
it’s not like you’re guaranteed those any way
Book rewards are random each time, so it just rolled poetics this time
It is interesting since i just
Literally NEVER Seen Poetics for the last few months at this point
Holy fuck
I'd love that last week
What’s the remix song of sunrise called? Or was there one?
The pulse one?
I think so
I tried to find the orchestra scroll for it last night but couldn’t find anything
only select pulse orchestrons can be found on the mog station
It’s 15 bucks for 5 songs
If I'm gonna grind my trust levels, is it faster to do it as a DPS or Tank?
DPS
do parties dissolve automatically when your friend is offline?
friend was offline for a couple hours i just kept the party because we were going to play later then all of a sudden the party just disbanded
Usually, if they're on another server/not yet on friends or FC you can find them in the contacts
nah they on my friends list i just didnt expect party to just drop automatically wondered if there was a time or something
Is there any way to track when certain fates spawn? Like ixion
Centurio hunts discord
I need flying unlocked in the sea of clouds to unlock the void ark?
Yes.
Always get aether currents
You can't reach the Redbills if you can't fly.
There's no reason to no try to unlock flight.
Since it dramatically chops down on travel time.
Especially for a huge zone like Sea of clouds
Hi all, was wondering if someone can help me, I am looking for some nice crossworld linkshells to join 🙂 but i havent been having any luck finding them...i have tried applying online but not getting any luck
Is there a website that shows the loot/rewards from all the encounters?
Gamerescape or Garland DB
So I know if a raid/trial or whatever is worth it for me
Does it have pics of the gear dropped ?
Gamerescape does when you click on the gear to view its page. It let's you see what it looks like on most races/genders
Cool
GDB has a 3d model preview but it doesn't always work and sometimes has issues with rendering special effects
Ok Ty
Is there something wrong with the SE store? can't seem to buy the complete edition..
Man idk if I wanna level astro or warrior
Wanna get down in there dirty and cleave or believe in the heart of the cards?
They're both so fun....
But to be fair
I have a tank at 80
I'll try and get astro to 80
no witch hunting
Hey, anyone knows why I dont get the Bleak Memory of Dying in Zadnor Z3 for the relic weapon quest? other 2 zones worked fine

do you still have the previous relic in inventory or armoury
yes I use the augmented laws order revolver
got the stuff from the other zones, just not from z3
it says 1 per skirmish on the wiki site
chance on skirmish
do you have A fond Memory quest
Reason: No witch hunting
only way to guarantee a drop with the quest in your log and weapon is Eden's Gate 1 (Resurrection) and 3 (Inundation) as well
You need gold ranking in fates/ces to get the items
If you didn't get it, yoy didn't get gold ranking
how do I get gold rank?
Cause contribution is shared in the party
just do enough dmg?
Contribution is gained by doing damage and healing
You should always be using dps essences
idk breathtaker is pretty hilarious
i dodged lethal with breathtaker so many times when I first started bozja
There's some who like the dot aspect
Even if the dots are literally a formality
And aren't the focus of dps
There's many issues with curre t smn
Cause SE can't code pets for shit
Lmao no worries
Quest "A Time to Every Purpose" requires me to do "certain quests in the Crystal Tower series" where do i find them, there is no secondary objective under my main scenario bar
i believe i finished that one
Follow the entire questline
An oddly garbed man visiting Revenant's Toll has some information which might be of interest to an experienced adventurer.

The Ultimate Weapon
Sanding It Down
Oof, it's pulling data from gamerescape. That's why it's slow
kind of unfair assessment, it's probably just restrictions with the engine; and they tried to make something that was over ambitious
so i finished that and standing it down
thank you
You only need to go to The Light of Hope iirc, and not the last two listed
ok
Is there possibly a check list or something somewhere of goals and things to do before ending your free trial to buy the game?
Not really because what you do is up to you
Really the only thing you want to do is just complete the msq
I know, all I know of right now, for myself at least, is to do MSQ obviously, currently in Dragonsong War, then have all these jobs at 60, Beast Tribes, get the extreme trial Horse and bird mounts, maybe do PotD to get those glowing weapon glamours, and whatever I'd want from Golden Saucer. Not sure if there's anything else I may want to take advantage of while I can, but I keep thinking of just buying it to gain access to all the locked features, and have the other classes. 
If i use fantasia can i change my character name and sex ?
name no, sex yes
name change is bought under the additional services section of the mogstation
so bottle of fantasia costs 7 euro and renaming also cost 7 euro . Just great.
how will i travel to coerthas western highlands, im trying to figure it out a while now
thanks a lot
Has the MSQ told you to go there yet?
The area is locked off until you go there for the first time
So, when using "Play" as Astro, even if it's during combat, sometimes it doesn't grant me a lunar seal. Is there any restriction as to when it will grant you a seal in combat and when it doesn't? is it when you play the same card again?
It can take a few seconds to register that you're in combat when you first pull
You're above level 50 when this happens right?
sure, 50+ otherwise diviniation would be a non issue
You're sure you didn't use minor arcana on accident?
pretty sure
Also, I assume I should use redraw to maximize different seal types?
and third question, what's the use case for lord and lady of crown? to use when divination is off cooldown and you play a 4th card?
Yeah pretty much
on/off, meh, let's say when I can't use divination yet
Is DRG really an easy class i leveled it to 80 now and it has a lot of buttons to buff
I am sad
It'd a static rotation, you do the same thing every fight
Is static rotation means it's easier?
Once you learn the rotation then it's just muscle memory
And little to no adjustment when you do fights
I mean ill give it more try
You're not staring at your hotbars like proc based jobs
You get to the point you just auto pilot
It’s the easiest imo out of all the other jobs yea
But still has its own learning curve
I actually really like dragoon because of heavensward make me@really appreciate it
Too many buttons lol
Plus no satisfying AOE

Screw you kupo bot

drg actually gets insanely good aoe at 70+
it's just one of those classes that are just a fixer-upper

How to sort inventory?
Right click sort
Cheers
i just bought the shadowbringers collectors edition but its not showing that i own it yet...do i just give it a bit?
Is not that physical copy you need to actually get delivered?
nop
Did you put in ur code?
i didnt know i was supposed to get 1
You should've gotten an email
I understand the aoe part but to many buttons? 😮 I feel monk has way more
If you bought it through mogstation, you don't get a code. The upgrade is applied automatically when payment is complete.
ah nevermind i apologize i am big dumb and i was checking the wrong email i did indeed get a purchase confirmation email
Dumb Question
The only places Poetics are spent, are on the Tomestone vendors of ARR, HW and SB, yes?
currently yes
Poetics are for non-current expansions
Mostly wondering if there's any other vendor that uses em, that aren't in these places.
:DDDDDD yey thnx for the help eventhough im dumb plus ultra ❤️
Enjoy Shadowbringers
i shall :DDD
Hey is it against TOS to sell a minion item code for gil?
saw something weird looking up in lakeland and tried to fly closer to it, reached the height limit, what is this?
Visual glitch
Yes
That's the tether graphic
i can move around and look at it from different angles
so I got an over aspected cluster from I think a sprite, what do those do?
in Eureka
ok thanks ill just use it then
You'll probably have to ask Gamestop. The page I'm looking at on their site doesn't give any indication that they are participating the preorder bonuses. There's also a user in the Q&A section that says they didn't receive a preorder code.
This might be a dumb question, but do the Survival Manual exp stack?
Like, if i use a few, do i keep stacking the bonus exp or do i just waste them?
No. If you use a bunch they overwrite each other.
okay ty
If i boost a character to level 70 , can i reclaim previous expansions artifact armors from Calamity Salvager vendor ?
Thanks
is anyone else getting a constnat "connection to lobby server lost"
or is it maintenance or just me
So like I crafted staff in FIRMAMENT but POTKIN doesn't seem to recognize the things I have in my Inventory?
What did I do wrong this time?
Character creation restriction . When is the best time to create a new for specific server ? Do i have to wait till early morning ?
Too low collectiblity
Gotcha.
ugh i keep getting connection to server was lost
How does level syncing work btw, they kick me because im lvl 50 and not 80 or 70 for a lvl 50 dungeon levelsync
do you have better stats as an 80 level synced to 50?
No
No.
Lol
Level sync does exactly what it says on the tin.
Just assholes
alright
Syncs your level (and ilevel) down to the level of the content.
You may be getting kicked for other reasons. Like... not equipping a job stone or not wearing level-appropriate gear.
Kicking you from what exactly
the blu runs
You can't be 80 BLU anyways.
yeah meant 70 oops
But most people prefer to have all 70 BLU for BLU content because it goes faster.
I have all the spells and some lvl 70 in the group dont even have some and they dont get kicked. felt weird
thought i was missing osmething
idk oh well
is there food that boosts both craftsmanship and control? I want to craft exarchic gear, but even with the full handsaint set I don't have enough of either
I just beat the ultimate weapon quest and im a lvl 56 SMN. How do I unlock more spells. I don't have painflare, ruin 3, or tridisaster
get to heavensward
Also, if you're only level 50 you do not have all the spells. You've potentially got all of the spells level 50 and under, but there are 20 levels of spells you can't have.

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.

ah ok thank you
just curious, how important is gil in this game later on and how much gil can be considered a lot gil?
So. is monk mostly...keep my buffs up with the positionals, move to standard positionals, and pop the other stuff when theyre off cooldown?
what level monk are you?
70
how much you need gil is proportional to how lazy you are about farming gear
its all relative. To me? Having enough gil to not spend the time shopping the datacenter for items and just my server
its mainly going to be that then yes monk is very consistent in its rotation
outside of weaving Ogcds its mainly gonna be the same
You don't lose "high level" blu spells when you level sync like you do on other jobs. You can still use those spells earned from level 60/70 content in level 50 synced duties.
Gil is mostly for cosmetics or housing. Can be used to gear quickly. Lots of gil would be maybe hundreds of millions?
get buff up -> get dot up-> Dragon kick -> lots of boot shine
I dont think monk gameplay and rotation even chagnes all that much at level 80? But I havent gotten that far yet on my monk
It doesn't
It's rotation doesn't change from 50
Well after form shift anyway to allow starting from dragon kick
after they get dragon kick they pretty much stop using bootshine as an opener ^
do monks get leaden fist from a form shifted dragon kick?
I have log in into the game and have active sub . Any idea why i cannot log in onto the forums ?
never played monk
Form shift gives you the form bonus for your next gcd
I will say that Exarchic Gear is relatively cheap right now compared to what it used to be since EW is around the corner.
It may be easier just to buy it.
Rather than try to craft it yourself.
Unless you really want to craft it yourself.
the lodestone and the mogstation share the same login credentials, right?
and your launcher login?
yes
ah, any idea how long it normally takes after you sub to be able to login to the lodestone?
still a bit expensive to buy it for every class tho
True.
You may want to consider trying a Chili Crab
It offers a huge boost to your CP and a sizable boost to your control.
Is paladin a good beginner class
Do people use The Dravanian Hinterlands or Azys Lla for the fate memory farm?
yeah, but not craftsmanship
Hinterland
Miso Soup with Tofu provides a solid boost to both craftsmanship and control.
found Popotoes au Gratin, seem to be even better
every class is fine as a beginner
maybe a dumb question but why cant my character wear certain boots and pants simultaneously?
when i put on the pants he unequips the boots
that being said, I like to have crafted exarchic gear at least once
hmm HQ exarchic is hard
Cause that gear takes two slots
Arr jank
oh ok
The gear description mentions it
You may need HQ materials to make it happen with White Scrip Gear.
You always needs HQ materials for 4-star crafts
There’s no amount of stats that ensures HQ without using HQ materials
with something I mean at least I was able to get it crafted
TBF, with how much of a diff there is between NQ and HQ
If it's not HQ
Might as well not have crafted it
well, still better than my old one
Settings
Well yeah, I'm having trouble finding it there.
Ui
Is Red Mage difficult? I don't like having to keep track of a bunch of things. Would RDM be in line with that?
really
what about the mana balacing thingy?
There's not much to it
It has no dot to manage
You just throw spells and alternate mana
Mana balancing isn't particularly hard
If you got too much of one side
Just use the other spell instead
You just alternate spells
ah
!faq 50rdm
oh
I was excited to get the relic weapons from shadowbringers, but it seems like there's so much to do first. Is it worth doing all the bozja and such or should I just forget it?
Is there warrior but slightly faster?
You need to do bojza to hit rank 10 and open up Zadnor
To get all the steps
yes, it's called WAR with higher skill speed
or DRK
So, this is kind of up to you at this point. The ShB relic weapon is the best weapon you can get right now. But with the expansion release scheduled for the beginning of December, it's going to basically be obsolete stat-wise in a month, maybe a month and a half.
That said, some of the skins for this expac's relic are really cool, so if you want to get one just to have the appearance, that's also "worth it", depending on your definition of worth.
tl'dr, "worth it" means what you want it to mean
Sorry
I'm memeing, why are you apologizing
I'm imagining Bozja is just hard or tedious, is it something you'd recommend learning?
It's fairly straightforward to pick up—it's really just an instanced open-world zone with an occasional 48-man that pops up—but it is a decent time investment.
Get in with a fate-chasing party and you should be fine.
I've never done fate trains, is it hard to get into?
You do a fate and follow the group to the next one
what is gold saucer MGP useful for ?
Cosmetics
Lots of different mounts, minions, and glamour outfits/weapons
And a few furniture/orchestrion rolls/hairstyles/emotes
I am this when trying to log into the forums . I can log into the games with no problem , also i have no problems logging into mog station. Anyone knows how to solve this ?
I know one of my browsers hated the forums. Kept trying to select my character and it never worked.

is the new housing lottery system coming into effect in 6.0, or 6.1?
6.1
so we can still relocate to bypass the timer until 6.1?
Yeah lottery will be implemented in 6.1
No
No that will be removed with 6.0
That will stop in 6,0
no more free relocation?
you never were able to freely relocate
So to spawn the snow queen NM, do you need to kill the level 25 yukinos or do the 20s work?
will relocating require lottery?
yes
Yes
relocating priorities are dead and gone
this takes into effect in 12/3?
iirc.
Yes
um, either on the release of EW or on 6.1, i don't recall
That's when 6.0 comes
shoot so i need to find a plot i waant now then
when 6.0 maintenance ends
the changes to the existing system are 6.0
the new lottery system and subsequent additions to housing are 6.1
is there any benefit to being in a party for bossing on Eureka
It's easier to get contribution for max rewards
does anybody have the hunt train discord for Zalera/Crystal?>
Something really weird just happened in HoH. We used a pom of petrification and the mobs were invulnerable ?
Does someone know why that happened ?
Hello guys
Hello
In order to start playing ffxiv, do I need to buy all expansions or just the latest?
the base expansion
Well you first option is the free trail
and yeah there is the free trial
I already have an account, I used to play on playstation
til a year ago
but I want to play on pc now
you will need to buy the pc version base game
Is there a sale for complete edition now?
(dont get the steam one trust me)
If not, just buy the “Standard Edition”
Yeah don’t steam
Steam is bad
Well Steam is good for single player game
<--- stuck with steam
Yeah I rather give the money directly to ffxiv ;p
This one right?
So yeah, if you want to keep playing your character, buy the standard edition
Hmmm... hard choice
What is the price for Standard Edition for you?
I don't see a standard edition
oh that is nice actually
Oh yeah just the starter edition
Do you care about 6 euros?
Actually don’t think 6 euros matter that much, complete edition should be fine
If you buy the starter you get 2.0 ARR, and 3.0 HW
correct it's just the free trial without restrictions
If you buy Complete, you also get 4.0 SB, and 5.0 ShB
You won't get Stormblood and beyond until you purchase shadowbringers, or Endwalker after 6.0 maint
!faq buy
But no matter what you buy... in less than 30 days 6.0 EW comes out...
Nice
Congrats, it’s on discount so it’s quite worth it.
Maybe when you get the main story done, EW is already on sale lol
The main story is long
I was a gunslinger :p Tried other mmos, but nothing can top the pve in ffxiv tbh
I already finished the mainstory
haha okay 🙂
Why is people openly talking about how they use autoclicker to buy house isnt it against ToS ???
(When you value stuff in Gacha money everything is cheap)
are they talking about it in game
Do they talk about it in game? You can report them
It is.
I learnt about it in game
if there's in game proof like chat logs you can use the support desk to report people
I mean if i dont report or no one do they can just use it?
If they talk outside game
Well it’s more like even if you report them they will still use it
Since SE really don’t look hard when people do shit
that's the general consensus yes. this game's anticheat comes from most of the game being server sided
can't you cheat by using third party programs that gives you callouts?
Yeah and second half of anti cheat is customer support manually banning people who cheat
Ah i see
Call outs aren't cheats
Well yeah, most people don’t consider it cheating tho
More like a minor.... help?
Parsing is against ToS only technically
so it's ok to use them?
Everything is against TOS 
Yes ffxiv is a closed system
the thing about act is to not to talk about act
Yoshi P is like, please don’t think too much about it
There's a very generous grey zone Yoshi-P has given us because he knows MMO players cover a very wide catagory
It's just there to protect their ass should issues arise
just follow the fight club motto
Don't ask, don't tell policy
Well, it’s the only one that works
it should be made explicitly clear i think.
Over the years, surprisingly, this policy just works
It's worked for the past 8 years, no reason to change it now
Like, for whatever god forsaken reason, ffxiv turned out to be the “Great Community BTW” game
the playerbase that bends the rules respects the bounds that have been set by the dev team
and the dev team doesn't crack down
PLEASE HELP i accidentally turned in my ultimate weapon that i just got for fc seals
is there any way i can get it back????? i was like mindlessly
doing my turn ins and didnt realize it wasnt in my armoury chest bc i didnt have space
oof
you can use your ONE TIME ITEM RECOVERY but its just easier to just do the raid again
I still wish NoClippy gets officialized
emphasis on ONE TIME
I mean FFxiv’s net code gets reworked to include NoClippy
how do i one time item recovery it ?
you can only use the item recovery service from the Support Desk
Send a ticket it
thank you thank you thank you
But like if you have an ultimate weapon you should just do the ultimate again

i am very surprised the game even lets you turn in ultimate weapons for GC seals....considering how many things the game doesn't let you turn in
Yeah
yea you cant even turn in 520 neir gear yet
Does Ultimate weapon have stats?
Yes
not good right?
it's usually BiS for ultimates until the final relic step
It's indentical to their savage counterpart
Oh
Fancy
where can i find toggle stance in the keybinds menu?
i changed the default keybind while setting up an alt's hotbar
Found my account details back while installing ffxiv on the pc. Is my character any good or is this worthless?
you can catch up pretty easily now especially if you have a bit of gil saved up
swap those tomes before its too late
They will expire once the new expansion gets released?
Do you have any tips on what to buy with gil?
The Phantasmagoria will be completely deleted with 6.0
So you’ll want to go to the tomestone vendor in Mor Dhona to exchange them for poetics
you can exchange them in mor dhona

Okay thank you!
HQ Exarchic gear, if you don't want to have to grind Normal Raids for 510 gear
Are the HQ exarchic gear level 510 as well?
Yeah and use Allegory to upgrade to 520
Wow that's amazing
Okay good to know! print screened this whole convo haha
Nice
the current item level cap is 530, but that requires getting 520 tomestone gear and augmenting it with items you buy with nier coins or obtain from savage raids, which also drop 530 for the current tier
Was the HQ exarchic gear available a year ago as well? I can't remember having the option to buy level 510+ gear.
But yeah, usually once a take a break, your gear becomes pretty useless.
Stuff that stay valuable on you is usually Job Levels, MSQ completion, and Gil
Yes it came in when this tier of gear came
no we were still at the second raid tier about a year ago
or like, just hit the third tier
Yeah unfortunately I can't see on the website how much gil I got.
Yeah, just go in game and check
That makes sense! Because when i was playing I was doing savage raids for good gear
It’s mostly just job levels being valuable
And the emotional connection
alright! the game is installing right now which takes about an hour for completion.
Thanks a lot for the tips guys! ttyl!
Is the inferno jacket tradable
No
do enemies in Pagos have special eyesight or will hide allow me sneak past enemies 6 levels higher?
I think mostly voidsent have “true sight” aggro
Undead have “HP” aggro to where they aggro on people with less than 2/3rds HP, IIRC
Elementals/sprites have Spell Aggro and attack people that use spells fairly close to them
what about the sleeping dragons
Sound aggro
Don’t run
If you run too close to them they aggro
Note that sprint walking IS fine
Plant-based monsters and others that don’t use conventional sight also use sound aggro
Like worms, I think.
do the val guardians have truesight
The big cube lads? I think normal sight
Golems should be normal sight too
what about https://i.imgur.com/P9en4IQ.jpg these things
Hey I found someone with the summoner pet as slippers. How do I get that
Money
What’s it called. I have 910k so I’m good
$6
Oh irl
Plain sight
Yeah
are withered sankchinni voidsent?
Plant so sound
Is there a way to autosort inventory
how do i beat a chorus slime act 3? wiki says i bring 3 slimes to the towers, but when i do it, it just wipes me
Are you getting out the blast area?
Best you can do is a macro using the /itemsort command
I'm on console
Don’t even think there is a plugin for it
You can still use it.
That’s the tower’s aoe, meaning you didn’t kill it
Ok thanks I'll try it
what exactly are gobbues classified as?
i put all 3 slimes next to it, do i have to do each one individually?
Probably a stupid question but are free companies basically clans?
Alright thanks I'll figure out more when I actually complete the story
Yeah you can join a random one if you want
The dead ones are sight and HP, I think
is there a certain amount of DH I want to have? or how much is enough so i know what to meld?
Also I'm going to guess val corpses are voidsent?
Undead
well my only issue is for RDM the secondaries are looking like crit>DH=det>SPS
so idk what to meld if the item is maxxed on crit :/
Can it meld dh? Then meld it otherwise det
They're the same strength so it doesn't matter
Dh is mini crits
DH is you hitting stuff for more damage than normal
25% extra damage when it triggers
And it can trigger on crits for direct crit hit
I thought DH was just being able to hit something lmfao
that would make a lot more sense
No worry it was like this... a long time ago tho
do i have to kill both towers at the same time in slime chorus?
No
yeah, because wow used to have hit rating which was the % roll of you hitting or missing an attack on a boss so i thought it was the same thing
okay so that makes a lot more sense, ty for the help
sorry to ask more class questions but is there a DPS class with a 1+2+3 combo and big explosions?
i think thats 2/3rds of the dps
You pair this with an ability that adds 50% potency
honestly IMO and really hot take for how much dmg a sam does I think it's a very simple rotation
what's set for DoL lv65?
How is the haste in Eureka and bozja, is it really helping?
Which is kinda kewl for something like BLM which actually benefits from SPS
But not so much for other jobs where it can throw your rota out of wack
You still want the haste since it’s the only way to improve your damage through gear in Bozja
Well some eureka gear also give element whatever
Could anyone do sastasha seagrot with me? Started a summoner in anticipation of the rework and have been sitting in this queue forever
is there a discord that tracks certain fates/bosses?
ty

also what job let's me materia meld on my own? If i was like mid raid and want to change out materias quick
idk if it's the right place to ask, but i'll wing it:
is ffxiv gamerescape down for everyone?
It's been having issues today
Any crafter
Only need 1 crafter level to self meld
Changing materia mid raid is not a thing...
Can you meld in combat?
this is before pull silly
I've melded inbetween 24man bosse
at least what i'm meaning
You should have your materia melded before you even enter the instance tbf
so I only need to unlock it to be able to change out my materia?
I do
I'm just asking so i can change my materia on my own when i swap jobs
😠
Your crafter will have to be at level cap
While you're at it consider omnicrafter since being able to repair in raids is way more useful
im gonna work on all jobs max eventually
just atm i started in like mid june so i'm working on stuff slowly enjoying the pace before EW
Crafters all share gear so we generally recommend levelling them all at once
So you're not stuck with 5 different crafter chest pieces for the different levels your crafters are at
That and ishgard restoration makes levelling crafters so stupidly essy
Is there a way to loop the dancing animation or do you have to have a dance that loops?
/dance does not loop
I wish it did tbh
where can i go to figure out how pvp works?
what kind of pvp are you wanting to do?
the best place is the Wolves Den Pier, the only open world location you can go to that you can organize your PvP hotbars and learn game mechanics
the quest-line that unlocks Frontline explains how to play it
are you looking to get better at your job in Frontline, or learn the basics of how Frontline works?
(or both)
mostly the second
