no. maybe as a plugin for the 3rd party launcher
How can I see what the metallic blue looks like as opposed to the general purpose metallic blue?
they look the same
one is bought with real life money, the other comes from the game
General purpose can be given to others
If he level up in instance, duty that have level sync, any higher than the cap will be forced to be cap, and despite showing 79, he already 80, the exp bar should be nuln to indicate the current highest lvl cap
^This goes for you too
And msq duties exist
how do i exchange mettle for proofs of mettle?
It was just normal quest not dungeon
nuu i mean paying with visa when paying again, i know we get 1gbp check when paying, is that check happens Everytime i want to sub / buy anything or only one time only check?
Talk to the commander
Proving your mettle exclusively just levels you up
ah sorry, i found it. lol i should have googled first before asking
it was the councilor
Which one should I level up. Black mage or red mage
Is there a way to stop the camera from auto adjusting when using the legacy camera?
I like them both it’s just I feel limited to only use certain casts with them
Do you want to play the job correct or not?
Im sorry for not knowing the classes. I’m just trying out the game again after losing my memory from a car accident 😁
Level red mage
i would probably recommend Red Mage. It's a little bit easier and has more freedom of mobility. With Black Mage you mostly stand in your ley lines but you have to manage your mana intensively if it's not something you've memorized @leaden ginkgo
Ok thank you both ☺️
you're welcome, and i hope you recover and enjoy returning to the game!

same as the level 80 one but you don't have bloodfest or fated
You can buy NPC materials and flip them on the market board.
It's not exactly fast but it's low effort cash.
NM windows just sub in those burst strikes for more combo gcds, and your aoe priority changes based on whether you should gnashing fang
i think it's gnashing at up to 2 targets, let me check
Since lazy people with money are willing to pat 2x or more just to avoid having to walk over to an NPC and buy something.
At one point, Iron Ore was selling for 108 gil on Gilgamesh.
When it costs 18 gil to buy it.
Just buy some stacks of iron ore from the Blacksmith's Guild, throw it up on the market board at an appropriate price, and do something else.
Does A12 Savage give any light for the heavensward relic ? (born again anima)
yes
more or less than A9S
ah ok
pretty much do 0 mechanics with a full group
pretty sure a12s still have to do some mechanics
Gotta survive divine judgement, the time stops
can any food items be crafted that can be placed down inside a house
ye, many
nice
alrighty, ty
macro command to disable chat box?
how many runs for sohm al?
do all mutated sprites no longer only use magic attacks?
uhh not sure on how many runs of sohm al it'd take, but definitely more than a9s
which is like 20~ or so runs
dungeons give half the amount iirc so 42 runs
leveling up archer, and i'm seeing that their aoe attack does 150 potency to everything, while their single target does 180/200, that kinda means that you start using aoe on 2 targets?
and the dot collective potency is 400, so basically no point multidotting starting from 3 targets
yes and yes :3
so strange, usually only tanks start using aoe on 2 targets
for all jobs anw, you stop dotting once the tank stops and just spam aoe
dnc uses aoe on 2 targets too
MCH at low level at well, melee looking useless at those early dungeon
If we're going to the moon in 6.0 then u reckon we'll go to the sun in 7.0? but like... at night
/sarcasm
Well you still want to dot a few targets, especially under mages ballad
You can just spam rain of death for like 30 seconds it's silly
only ARC yet

Getting connection lost on every cutscenes I am playing on PS4
why can i use Peloton, a level 20 action, while level synced to level 19?
seems to contradict game rules
role actions are unaffected by syncing
huh
same with garuda egi staying garuda with syncing :3
SB 4.5(?) ||Who tf is Solus von Galvus||
keep playing
only some, reprisal and rampart aren't synced iirc
it will be explained in like a few minutes
could be dead wrong, someone correct me
what caspian said
It just did hoyly shit
but to your knowledge of what you should know, he's the ||emperor of garlemald||
Yeah I got that part now
also doesn't he look handsome as heck
probably yes but not prominently
garlemald naming schemes are so confusing
Obscure? how?
like not in the msq?
i believe so
i mean as in he is not mentioned unless you really read into garlean history iirc
yes
slight googling says he is mentioned in Encyclopedia Eorzea, which is a real life physical book about ff14
oofie
Also where is the four lords quest located
Should I sell/discard all my old weak story/dungeon armor
Im gonna unlock the side dungeons and trials before moving on to shb
solus was mentioned in arr with ||his funeral ||and the alliance thinks that makes a good chance to do sth vs the empire no?
I dont remember anything about a ||funeral||

is there a housing/interior decorating channel in this discord?
the map isnt loading
don't think so sadly
but feel free to post it in the more general chats
okie ty
5, 15
aight time to do side content ty for the answers 
hum iirc?
hello, im a new player and im thinking about buying the game and I have a few questions because im unsure 👉 👈
/hum
shoot
yeah
!faq buy
^ check if any of that helps :3
ye i read that about 7 times already i just wanted to know about how the buying works coz i made an account a long time ago to try ff14 on ps4 and then i realized my frail fingers were not enough for the controller so i stopped
now i made a new account on pc and i swapped mails so i can play comfortably and now im eyeing up that complete edition so i wanted to know - if i buy the download version i get a code which i put into the mog station redeem and im good to play?
coz it would be a shame if the ps4 version got the upgrade
if you have a new account that has no relevance to your PS4 account and buy a PC code then there should be no issue
You would buy the pc version. No matter what retailer, it should be clear
yeah, it makes it very clear that you'r buying for PC when you buy it anyway
so even if you somehow had both accounts mixed up, you wouldn't be able to redeem it for your ps4 account
as long as you buy from the store which matches your region, yes
i believe PS4 version is sold entirely separately, you can't buy it from the PC stores
Where can I get the blood bouillabaisse recipe
||i thought he's just the founding father? varis is the acting emperor, no?||
(4.5)
you could have kept the old account, you didn't need to create a new one
you can use the same account on multiple platforms
that is more correct yeah

i forgot
yea its been a bit
i wanted to try the free version first
if you're on the new account and don't do anything with the ps4 account then this issue shouldn't matter
well, as long as you enter the code on the right account in mogstation, there shouldn't be an issue
thank you i will try it then thank you!
Has anyone ever tried to move ffxiv from steam to another drive?
not a good idea to use Steam to move MMOs to other disks
as Steam will trigger a re-verify of the game files, which with MMOs that use their own downloader for updates, many times it makes the game redownload all files again
though I dont use FF14 on Steam myself, but I believe it doesn't patch through steam, it uses the FF14 launcher
trying to buy eastern wisteria from the housing merchant, but it's not there? is there an unlock condition or something?

hi, not sure if this has been asked, but did anyone else get an email saying that SE was unable to process the EW pre-order payment?
I tried to "Debit Now" but was unsuccessful :/
have sent them a ticket but this is all so confusing lol
not all merchant sells them iirc https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Eastern_Wisteria has a list with npc`s that sell these
maybe your bank/card blocked it, so allrdy tried to ask them
i'll try contacting my bank, thanks!
As far as I am aware, there are no unlock conditions. You do need to go to the right item section, though. It's under Purchase Furnishings (Other), provided you're actually at one of the eight Housing/Apartment Merchants.
If you are on the Free Trial, since you cannot buy housing (which includes, I believe, apartments), this may preclude you from purchasing items.
Hi guys wondering if anyone knows why I can't progress in my main story quest "Heavensward" It's the singularity reactor dungeon, I've done it 3 times now and it's still not saying I've completed it.
Do you mean the Aetherochemical Research Facility dungeon, or the Singularity Reactor trial?
Did you actually get in and fight him
Ah okay, I just found out 😦 But it will be fine if it redownloads, right? It wont get corrupted or anything like that?
Or did you get another dungeon entirely
This is the only one I qued for all 3 times
i dunno, anything could happen, ive not tried it with FF14,
but highly unlikely itll get corrupted after redownloading, more likely, the move will make it delete the files and the entire game will redownload like it was just installed
I am also assuming you are moving it to a library on a different disk from within Steam, not moving it manually, no idea what manual move would do
My initial advice would be to submit a bug ticket to Support, but I'm also curious what's happening, so what cutscenes have you seen following the duty completion?
Well I did some research and most people said to cut and paste the folder to another drive, uninstall the game through steam, and install it to the new moved folder. I did that but now the files have to redownload through launcher anyways. But I think its fine, cuz it redownloads to the steam path
make sure you've cleared out all of your selections, you might be queuing for multiple duties accidentally
To confirm, you went into a trial and fought King Thordan right?
Cus that's really weird if you've done it and it's still not completing.
that technically would work, IF all Steam does is install the launcher, so that way, the rest of the files are untouched
i think i heard about that somewhere, so makes sense
I know it sounds like we're being unnecessarily specific and repetitive, but being precise in detail is an important part of troubleshooting.
Ok so apparently I did have something else ticked...... 🤦♀️ Sorry guys hahaha but ty for your help anyway
oof, it happens haha
yeah that's happened to me before
Ya apparently it only installs the launcher as it shows as 52 MB on the drive, but still the game files are located in the steam folder
But Im reinstalling and then Ill see
hallo, i have a question regarding triple triad
how does the plus rule work exactly? the ingame desc didnt make much sense to me
Leve quests in Limsa, where is it at?
at the inn near aftcastle
lmao sorry sorry; thanks!

is it possible to disable targetting other players with rightclick? it keeps messing me up when im adjusting camera angle
Sleeplessness has robbed me of brainpower; what do I need in the event I need to re-allocate a 535 Resistance weapon's stats?
400 poetics
Oh that's all? That's easy enough..
thank you guys
So I'm looking at my account page on Mogstation and it has early access checked off but not "Collector's Edition."
And I just got charged for the game today.
Can trusts (T/H/DD) 3-man the tightrope DPS check in Dohn Mheg?
You get the code and enter it during early access
And that has yet to come?
Yes
They still charged me tho. ~.~
They didn't update when they charge to account for the delay
Feel like that would run afoul a few FTC regulations...

Can I send my retainers on missions through the app?
is there a way for fc members who haven't gotten to stormblood to get to our company estate in shirogane?
Should I sell/discard all my old weak story/dungeon armor
I don't get it. Today is friday? But the kupo bot for Fashon report has not changed
which dungeons would you recommend to xp from level 50 to 70? simply those that get accessible to me the moment I level up?
thanks!
hasnt been posted yet then
if you're at a high enough level in your grand company you can exchange it for company seals, otherwise yea you can just npc it
Is there a new command for the age chart? Howaboutno got changed.
is something wrong with timer or its usually normal
Are boss fates after ARR/HW solo-able anymore?
for the most part yes, with the exception of special fates
real kill boss fates are not soloable … ever
like, big cyclops or behemoth in arr will flat out kill you …
Gotcha, I just have been getting my ass handed to me so I was just wondering since my gear is up to date and I have my chocobo healing+ Dps
Like I can't even complete them now 
the ones that are not solo-able have a special music played
but do a /shout if you’re struggling cause fates like that are probably sought after so people might come
for achivements or weird furnitures or even minions
I just tried doing this one https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/No_Ifs,_Ands,_or_Butts which doesn't say it gives an achievement at the end,etc
and yeah
I usually sell at stacks of 99 for ore, but should I keep doing it? or should I cater to the ones who hate this and just sell in small stacks like 15 or 25?
Check the market history and see what size stacks sell more often

up to you - smaller stacks may sell faster but take more slots so gotta update more often
i looked up and doesn’t seem solo-able :3 maybe with a tank but biiig maybe
Alright, I guess I'm just getting unlucky not knowing which ones are soloable LOL
Yo got a Q.
Maybe someone uses the page and can help me..
Does it mean a S Rank or Special fate can spawn soon or what does it mean precisely?
So I beat all the job quests in ShB, how do I access the epilogue?
Check the amounts of said ore needed for its recipes and try smaller multiples of the number.
What's the Discord that has the BIS info? I'm trying to figure out what to do with my allegory tomestones. Not sure if they're useful for the new classes.
!faq balance
!expansion
If you mean role quests, finish 5.3 for the true ending then go back to the bar
I beat 5.3 before finishing the other role quests
And the warring triad from hw?
Yep
Then yeah, back to the bar
Is it a blue quest?
No yellow
Ah, must be why I missed it
I think the only yellow quest I've done is the HW one inside the Fortemps Manor
The end of the four Lords questline is yellow too
Do Helping Hand and Earth Water apply to scrip exp too, or just the direct gathering and crafting?
Which DoH would I need to level to repair/meld 80 gear?
Yes
Direct
Depends on the gear type
Oh I meant for all gear types
Yes
All of them
All?
Except CUL? I don't think CUL does any
;,;
Except cul
It's recommended to level all crafters at once anyways
Cuz of all the shared gear
All crafters craft specific gear types
And can therefore mend em
You can check ur own gear to see what u need
Is 11m gil enough to powerlevel them all?
Yeah I'll probably end up doing that rn
Make sure you still do your job quests
The strongest crafter skill is locked behind tjem
!action manipulation
The level 65(ish?) job quests give manipulation which is imperative to crafting
Gotcha, thanks for the help guys
it's up there but it doesn't have the most
in general you can expect 3 hotbars per job
Are authentication servers down? Game refuses to accept my login details today
just logged in with no issues
O-kayyy so what gives? My details are correct, but the launcher will not accept them
I'm gonna assume they have multiple servers handling that depending on region
so maybe on of them is iffy?
lodestone login on the website works tho?
works perfect yes
!faq altlvlguide
tyty^^
say if i hold my lvl80 weapon coffer til the new classes come out... they can use those coffers right? like they're gonna have edenmorn weapons? l;
Most likely yes for edenmourn
wooh
when is fashion report info release
What's the name of the theme of this? And is there an Orchestrion roll for it?

oh
when is fashion report info release?
this week’s fr is released
no i mean at friday there is a summary coming form reddit what to get
ye, and it’s released …
what time tho
same as ever, kholusia beach
east or west beach
hmm, the one with all the hobgloblins
why is coils not in roulette but omega and alexander are?
Cuz it's high end content
coils is more difficult
it's basically savage difficulty by default
kinda seems redundant to have a savage mode then, but I guess it would be too much work to remake them
There wasn't a normal/accessibility/story mode for raids in arr
it's not redundant
There's only savage mode for 4 specific fights
^
Basically the dev team were still figuring out how they wanted to do raids
It's all the second coil fights
ohhh
which is that, flower, snake, avatar, and nael right?
eh i dont remember the names either lol
And it had the one with the petrify mechs
thats t7 iirc
Cuz they deliberately designed it to ruin the cheese strats people had back in the day
Basically: arr weird and awkward
That's why
I definitely think they should go back and rework them though, since coils is so important to the story only way for the casual audience to experience them is watching it or doing it unsynced later
yep
Like so much else
A story accessibility rework for coils would be great, but it would involve redesigning all the coils raids and that will take a lot of time
have squeenix ever talked about harder tiers for alliance raids?
or would that be too niche to put resources into
We've gotten 2 large scale raids in the last 2 expansions
So those are there to scratch that itch
asking cause i ran ivalive MINE with a group a couple days ago and it was really fun
Wipes in orbonne prove that's not the most viable thing in the world
With echo
Don't get me wrong, I love the ivalice raids but I doubt we'll get that type of high end content
Not to mention it would fuck with the simplicity of the current gearing system
Which is a route wow went
And people despise that
Can lvl 80s survive a12s unsynced. On the part where you're usually supposed to lb3
Yes
Pretty sure hp max at the time was till in the early 5 digit ranfe
Current bis puts most jobs at nearly 6
This is pre stats squish however
I see. Doing it tonight since we're done with omega. Was concerned cause I dint think we'll even fill the lb guage
Its a joke
6 level 80s can decimate it unsynced
We'll see tonight
Yea we pretty much have only have 6 tonight, plus one lvl 60 on free trial
A8s has a minion that's pretty rare and a4s also has a mount
Yep we're aware!
We started from o12s, and went down the tiers
Was supposed to.be glam farm, the mounts were a good bonus. Then we figured why not go down the tiers
Had lots of fun
Thanks again!
Is it possible to get jet blavk dye on the free trial?
buy them from mog station
or i think the return campaign gives gold chocobo feather that can be exchanged for dye
Mog?
you can't buy from the mogstation on the trial
Ohh
it seems like the only way you could get it is through fete presents from firmament fetes
huh? TIL of that free trial restriction
you can get it from the firmament on the free trial

getting dye from mogstation is never worth it anyway
the dreadwyrm weapons awarded from Coil turn 4 are supposed to have a golden glow according to gamerescape.com, yet mine don't. Do I have to upgrade the weapon first to give it that property?
that’s from UCOB
they lied to me? 😦
maybe you misunderstood?
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Dreadwyrm_Katana
It says here it's acquired from Turn 4
but the preview image is of the glowing weapon
You can. Unless you're specifically talking about dyes. Then that I'm not sure
Free trial can buy most stuff from mogstation
Then they made a mistake for it
apparently someone replaced the image of the non-glowing weapon 6 months ago
You want the Ultimate dreadwyrm katana
is there no new items sold in gc when u unlock storm captain? i dont see it
how do you kill these lill guys? all of them in a group takes such a heavy hit and i died
probably level/gear up more
or just pull one at a time
do I need to do the crafter class quests? do they unlock anything other than the tools?
dammit
also
is there a better way to level up my gatherers other than the diadem?
Leves
leves, gc turn ins, beast tribes
you think I could level them substantially with 100 leves?
yea
Any1 know how to unlock idyllshire
also, is there a way to quickly check the price of times before putting them on the market board? i have like 15 different items and I don't want to have to go back and forth...
main story quest unlocks it
Do uno which msq??
the page button in the sell menu for each material will bring up the prices
first level 58 quest
Alright thx
how do you lvl up desynth its so slow
how do i get my sprint back o_0
Actions and Traits menu

This channel is not for trolling please be mindful of thst
I was told not too long ago that, because EW was so close, I should just purachse Augmented Exarchic Equipement instead of grinding for the ilvl 530+ stuff. So, is there anything beneficial I should be spending my Revelation Tomestones on? Still not entirely sure what I should do with them, outside of gear
It's all whatever at this point
Buy Cryptlurker pieces with what tomestones you have
or save them to be converted to poetics
debatable whether buying exarchic is even worth it at this juncture
Yeah it almost seems as much of a grind, since I need the other Tomestones for the rain in order to get them
did it for my tank sets, but outside of that im not sure that the minimal stat boost is worth it
As far as collectibles for custom deliveries go, should I hold on to any extra I have? I'm just going down the list maxing out each person, and wasn't sure if they'd be good to hold on to past maxing them out
Howd I git midgardsomr as a mount?
you can craft them in bulk and keep to turn in later but it's pretty much a waste of inventory space
Yeah I've been gathering them tbh, is it better to craft them?
Which msq?
different rewards, exp for different jobs, turn in whichever rewards you want
OK thanks
gotcha, ty
Hi so I entered the early access code when I got it but now when I checked my email I got another activation code . Could someone tell me what that is for ?
For the game
I got the new one on 15
You can enter it shortly before December 7th
Is it possible to try Samurai as free trial or have to buy the exps?
Ah thankyou sasha
You need stormblood
I thought I remembered reading somewhere that jobs start at the upgraded level(THM starts as BLM) when you get a job to a certain level or reach a certain point in the story. Is this a thing, or am I mistaken?
lvl 30 job quest
The new jobs in Heavensward (like astrologian) start at 30
Finish Praetorium
Or buy on mog
rather finish base game story
N used it
you only get 1 for free
No its a one time quest reward
But I kinda want another one
I see, thanks
You get a free fantasia for beating arr ONCE
buy it
Too bad
Buy it with real money
OCE
once*
how do i dispell glamour without the dresser?
Dman looks like I have to wait next qeek
what was today’s live letter about?
wh- There was a live letter today?
no
There wasn’t.
Oh
For The lv52 quest "to Siege or not to siege" do choices make a difference?
To the storyline
Any Spawn conditions of the Behemoth Fate in Coerthas?
No dialogue option changes the story
It's all fluff
iirc it's just rng but it's a chain of 2 fates
Aye, ik it's 2
But i'm looking for it since...
Months
no luck whatsoever
are you in the hunt server for your dc?
Super fates have like a 48-72 hour Cooldown
It also doesn't show on the map when it has spawned
Barely using discord tbh.
So no.
I checked though this webpage from Ariyala
And it's even suppose to be there (But who knows it's even corrrect)
dets > piety > crit?
crit det dh piety
Is the final fantasy starter addition basically like buying the complete game?
i thought it did? oô
At least ppl told me
Piety to comfort > Crit > dh or det
Meaning I can use mog on it
It gives you ownership of Arr and heavensward
And removes trial limitations
Ohhhh
No super fates show on the map
They're all invisible to the map
Yea
Thx
Ayyy, i'm getting cancer, srs.
Complete gives all the Expansions
Yeah make sure you have enough piety to get through trash packs without drying up on mp (about 1500 is enough to get comfortable) @spiral inlet
Is there any way to check how many points you have in fashion
Or just be like me and get ridiculous amount of piety like 2.2k cuz of set
yeah, talk to masked rose again
Thanks
If you mean cumulatively for shop unlocks, no
When will I be able to buy level60 Poetics?
Do I just need to reach Ishgard + reach 60, or will I need to clear most of HW?
ouch, hmm. I just hit the 2k cap, and I'm already level56 so I feel bad buying level50 armour
But I have not started HW yet, but I'm very close to being able to start
You nees to hit idyllshire
Should I just buy gear that might be deprecated, or should I spend it on something more long term
you can invest in other level 50 armor
It's the only time you can buy gear early
From the regular tome vendors when you hit idyllshire at 58
Maybe I should buy accessories? Since upcoming class quest might give me a bunch of nice class gear? not sure
Just have no choice but to buy now because it capped me at 2000
i would, it gives some nice item level
i usually buy them

/Kick
I macro'd mine for Target of Target so I can attack while keeping the Tank targeted on PS4
Just do soft targeting
Soft targeting?
Press attack spell
Press dpad down
Press heal
Press attack
If you don't press X to lock on after dpad down, you would be soft targeting the tank
After heal, you will go back to your original target without additional input
Why are you bashing me firstly. As long as everyone stays alive I don't think it matters
You are free to play the game however you want
As long as you don't promote this as the correct playstyle
lmao who gets ban for using macro for gcd
(at least that's how I feel)
Yeah it is crap, but it is their game, and I don't think I care enough to lecture people how to play
Okay? Do I look like I care? It makes it easier for me and Im gonna use it
If you're lazy then don't waste people's time
its only on daily dungeon like preatorium and castrum
this is an mmo. it is not their game
if someone's behavior detracts from the experiences of others then it justifies being told explicitly not to do it.
Well it makes it easier for me
Tanks don't need the be targeted 24/7
Read up on soft targeting
you don't need to keep the health of everyone at 100%.
Okay well I like to, stop telling me how to play
What is the max number of gear sets and what affects it? I have everything at 80, and have 45? While my friend has 47 max?
It allows you to sneak in a single skill on a new target without the hassle of retargeting
Do your friends have crafters and gatherers unlocked?
Enjoy getting kicked from any decently hard content for macroing lmao
kinda hypocrite telling others how to play on #questions-and-help
As long as everyone is alive does it fuckinh matter?
And then wiping to enrage sure
Does anyone have a link or a list of the 2 week EW prep?
they mentioned they're just doing it in like castrum/prae
I think it is enough that we inform Christie that macro is not advisable, what they do with that info is out of our hand
so this means i've alreay entered my early access code? because i dont remember doing it at all
There was a yt video up a bit ago
Wonderous tales and Beast Tribes but I forgot the specifics
like, of course it's bad to macro GCDs and such
right, anyone have a link to that?
yep
Save book tuesday, get dungeon master and roulette dungeons 1 off from co.plete
Run leveling roulette, bam 71
Oh ok
Rika, while we have you here, can you help Corel with their gearset question. Somehow they have 45 slots, but their friends has 47
Corel has all dow/m and doh/l at lvl 80
I mean there shouldnt really be anything, hmmmm
You can have up to 100 gearsets with quick launcher so
That I didn't know
Oh lemme check if he's filthy plugin user

Interesting
So the answer is, the game is weird

That's... Not what I expected
I only have 29 gear sets tho?
You unlock more with job unlocks
Oh well, at least you know it is not your doing
u open more gear set slots by unlocking classes / jobs
so question, i got bunch of diffrent armor and wanted to ask is it worth storing or just deync them? and is blue job armour better to store and keep?
If all of your classes that can use said gear are higher, you can just sell/desynth it
Make sure to extract that materia though
I'm in Bozja as a level 71 WAR, i understand I've been synced up to 80. I have been reading over my actions and traits and I can't figure out why every once in a while I can cast Fell Cleave without consuming Beast Gauge
oh i see, i missed the "without cost"
Plus 2 onslaught and upheaval
ty
Should I do palace of the dead?
I just unlocked ifyllshire
idk, should you?
did you do go west, craftsman?
West??
idk
Idk is it like mandatory
U mean there differtn idyllshires
she should be inside the main building in idyllshire
not to the story no
I'm trying to get the anima quest
she's also in mor dhona
I'm in idyllshire but she's nowhere here
I just unlocked it
So do I need to do something?
She's far left of the tome vendors
So you haven’t beat Heavensward
Damn
May I ask, is using FF14 quick launcher against game rules? is it banable or anything? Thanks for answer.
The QuickLancher alone won't ban you, but if you do use plugins with it, and telling others about it ingame, then, yes you could get banned.
Well technically Yes but they can't detect it or do anything about it
I am interested in chat bubbles above head and thats it
Based on the history of Allagan Tomestones, does this mean that level80 gear will be available to buy with Poetics when EW releases?
ah I see very cool, I'm far far away but I see how the catch-up mechanics work, that's really nice
How do I start the Crystal Tower MSQ? I have seen on the website that I need Ultima Weapon quest, which I did. Also read some people saying the NPC was at x30 y12 or x24 y8 at Mor Dhona

sounds about right; go there
The company of heroes questline is....dampening my interest in this game a bit
just gave the wine back to the dude
does it last much longer?
I am there, don't see anything. Read some people say if the NPC has other quests it won't show up on the map or that he would show up around the big Aetheryte, not seeing anything
can someone explain what "Collector's Standard" is about?
Not much more
After that ur done with the worst
Collector’s edition has bonuses
Standard edition does not
cool beans
i actually didnt mind that part ..
i've been steamrolling through the msq for a bit but this part really gave me pause
Continue msq until the game is like "u need to do crystal tower to continue" then the npc should have the quest for sure
idk man it's like the fetchquestiest of fetchquests
it’s so very … Final Fantasy
I am on that part
Oh hmm
can check your journal; possible you have picked up the quest before
I just got this part so I don't think so but I will double check
for basic job guides, check WeskAlber on youtube
for more detailed guides, check saltedxiv, akhmorning, and the Balance discord
i meant, possible that you have advanced past the Legacy quest
can you screenshot your journal?
If you look on ur map what blue quests are there
None.
It's in the Crystarium right in front of the Crystal Tower.
There should be a guard with a blue quest.
Top left corner of ur screen what quests do u see there
!quest Legacy of Allag
misshapen chair's MFSQ videos. afaik no one does tl:drs for class quests

Sanding It Down
A time to every purpose
You can just look up the job quests
well .. i started playing xiv cause i couldn’t find such a resource sooo … tell me when you find one :>
I don't think so? I mean I just reached the Crystal Tower part. I see people mention the NPC shows up around the Aetheryte here or in the other city, I have been to both places and haven't seen anything

Top left corner of ur screen what quests arr there
turn off the map
Afterburner is on top but
i mean, on Duty menu, choose Recommendation, checking any possible quest shown there
Open the map normally
cant quick sythesis even tho i crafted it already, what is the problem
Look at the recipe, see what it says about quick crafting
I am aware, the regular isn't showing anything either
Look at the camp in the south west
The recipe
Go check for Sanding it down
this?
a dumb thing but talking to all the quest giver, if they have 2 or more available, only 1 will be shown, other are hidden
my craftmanship is 150
If quick synth is unavailable, then it’s unavailable period
man relax.
how do you farm specific floors of PotD? do i have to complete all the floors first?
No need to be add fancy text for simple question
after you clear floor 50 you'll be able to start all future runs at 51
which is what people farm, 51-60 then reset the save
kk thx!
whens the next mogstation sale
If you use the trust system to run dungeons, how does loot work? Do you get everything that drops, or just class specific?
No set date
You get everything
Thats neat
How...well does that work, compared to a party of randoms
I just want some gear for some glam
You can solo dungeon without sync
Not Shadowbringers dungeons
Yeah the dungeons Id be running would be 71-80
Less drops compared to a normal party, but you get all the loot
And if you die, it’s a reset. Unlike with 4 players
Question, do I have to level my trusts to use trusts in EW
ehhhhhh I guess I won't do it then
I main tank anyways
and queue never been a problem
Seems like I have already done Legacy of Allag and Sanding it Down, which I did search for in the Journal with the search function and did not find anything.
Problem now is that the site says Rammbroes should give me "A Performance for the Ages" but he only has "Hit the Hyppogryphs"
When was the site last updated?
No idea, I am using https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/A_Performance_for_the_Ages and look info up on reddit too
In bozja, do you have to take part in fates to be able to register for critical engagements?
Just follow the bluequests in the are
No
No, but they help you get in if the instance is busy
But you do get priority
Ok thank you
is SAM ping sensitive?
as far as i'm aware, NIN and MNK do, so that just leaves me with SAM or DRG for melee DPSing on NA
is there any place where i can find people to do resistance relic steps with?
inside bozja?
That’s the most logical place
do a /sh
im on that one step that needs you to do anything but in bozja, sadly
the one thatn eeds you to do fate or alliance raids
i guess i can find some peeps in bozja for that though
so SAM with no SkS in gear substats?
if that doesnt work then just queue for the raids while doing fates in their areas
The 2.15 gcd SAM
yep, i'll try that
!faq balance
can do a shout in the area too
Anyone know what time early access is for Australia?
@fossil bloom that discord I linked has all the info about how to play SAM with meh ping
are bozja and zadnor the same with regards to levelling efficiency?
Think it's about same exp
!expansion
Two related questions...
- If I both want to enjoy the main campaign but also catch-up to some higher level friends more quickly, would it make sense to buy a job boost in some other class I am not playing so that I level up faster as I progress on my main class?
- Is a new version of the job boost that takes you to 80 expected to be released along with endwalker?
Identical xp rewards
okay thank you
@covert stump 1. - Even if you buy a job boost, you will not be able to partake in any of the activities your friends do dungeon / raid / trial wise unless they do the same lower level content that you have unlocked that they have already done.
In short, if you wanna do higher level content like them, you will need a story skip as well. I would not do this if you enjoy the story
Just doing msq is the fastest way to catch up cus even when u level faster the content is still behind msq progress
But if you just wanna be at the same level as them, theres no harm I suppose. Remember that the MSQ will give more than enough XP.
Was thinking about trying to get the ozma mount and want to confirm that i have to do the eureka raid, then a boss fate, then a dungeon and its a for sure drop
Way more mettle from zadnor tho, so unless you're doing some relic step, better go zadnor imo. Typically find a bunch of people running z3
If you want to get to current endgame, you need a job boost and a story skip,
You have to clear ba, which is like Dr savage but harder
And more bullshit
Yes...and you highly preferred to be in discord for it
Because eureka
isnt that raid the one where if oyu die you get kicked instantly in eureka
Not instant yiu have standard res timer
ho boy
Same as drs
hi, so i pre-ordered Endwalker for PC, but when logging into my Mogstation, it doesnt show that I have it? was I suppose to get a key for activation on it or will that drop on 12.7?
It comes during early access
ok so ig ill try to do all of the normal raids first and then ill try that lol
Thanks all. To clarify a bit, I know I won't be able to join them on end game content unless I complete the story (which I want to go through), just trying to minimize any 'extra time' to get there after finishing the main quest line progression
You don't get a code til early access starts on the third
@leaden ginkgo just put oin the pre-order code, then the shadowbringer code when early access comes
E.G. If a boost from a higher level job would be the difference between finishing the main quest line and being caught up to them vs. needing to run 50 hours of dungeons after main quest XP has dried up
Msq keeps you at current content level pretty much the entire story
It's designed to get u to endgame
Provided you're not hopping from job to job at super awkwardly
There's one point in arr where msq alone will leave you a little below
That's it
Sounds like I am good to just enjoy the ride through the story then. Thanks guys!
!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.
Just keep up with your job quests or you're basically griefing your party
Not having all your tools is a dick move
are mob drops dependent on some kind of skill check, or are they just entirely random? Trying to farm drops for crafting and its..very, very slow.
Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
Additional Effect: Increases the chance of additional items being dropped by target if Mug is dealt before, or as, the finishing blow
Additional Effect: Increases Ninki Gauge by 40
Is the only way of increasing drop rates
And well its on a 2 minute cooldown
Most people just use retainers
Combat retainer
Or bicolor in shb
I'm new, so my retainers arent up there yet, and i havent unlocked ninja, sooo bag to mindless grinding I go I guess :p Thank you for the reply.
Could just leave grinding crafters til later and have fun with the story, although I understand getting very side tracked
hi there, i've had a free trial account before that i played last year and i decided to go play again now, but when i login on the ff14 website i get this "error" ?
To be honest, I dont really like how fast I reached 50 and the end of ARR, so I'm just dedicating a few weeks to getting my crafting up to my useful level, doing beast tribe quests, and poking around at fun like gold saucer.
Looks like you bought the game
That means you can't go back to a trial
Define last year
When did you make your free trial account?
The current free trial came in in 5.3
Which has unlimited playtime
i have an email thanking for registering on the 27/08/2020
wait lol i might be able to use the same download link on that email
!faq freetrial
Download link
oh, thanks! That's easier
I have a question because I’m a little confused about this. Does it take the same amount of xp to get all classes to 80 it’s just DPS has longer queue . Because say to get to 80 and you have a 79 class for DPS it takes 37 million xp. If I switch to a healer that is also at level 79 would it also take 37 million xp to level it up or will it be a different number
and sorry if I made it sound confusing
Same amount of exp
its the same amount of exp regardless of class
Just different dungeon queue time
Ok thank you
I level all jobs with dungeons
I know for sure that at higher level, all of them take 7 or so dungeon runs to gain 2 levels
All my classes are 70 so what I did for the last class is just do bozja until 79 and then spam mt. Gulg until 80 but idk if that’s a good strategy
With critical engagements rarely popping combined with delta scape raid having a really long queue, what can I do to get this relic grind done?
Spawn them yourself
Daily roulette are very good for exp, specifically leveling, msq, Alliance, and frontline
I can spawn critical engagements?
Yes
So if you don't mind doing them, they are alright
Critical engagements are spawned by certain Skirmishes(fates)
Kill Magitek mobs to spawn CEs
does anyone know what the requirements for the "one time password" are? maybe i'll remember what mine was if i know lol
was it just numbers or something oor?
2fa
ah okay yeah leaving it blank worked, thanks

SAM's kaiten increases the potency of higanbana's DoT right?
Yes
hmm
You Kaiten every Iajutsu
if an ability increases the potency of a dot skill the dot will be affected
but something like
lets say life surge on dragoon, won't work on chaos thrust
because that would only ensure crit on the attack itself but not the dot?
!action Life Surgr
ah
mustve missed that
but then would any weaponskill buff affect such things then
mk
Anyone know if you can use blue mage for the level 70 dungeon step for shadowbringer relic? Is it just needing to be level synced?
cool, thanks!
just exit the game, open the launcher and log back in
this can be caused by sudden connection lost (internet or server), quick fix above cus i experience several time
ohhh thank you sm
you can also just wait it out but ye that works too
What is the difference between extracting and retrieving materia from an item?
I'm hoping to reuse the materia, if the item breaks it does not matter, if that makes a difference
Retrieve is to get back melded materia. Extracting converts spiritbond into materia.
Retrieving has a chance to fail, but you only lose the materia if it does
What exactly does converting spirit bond do?
Makes new materia.
It's free materia. You should do it when spiritbond on an item is at 100%
Will I lose the materia that's already slotted in?
(used to convert the whole item, losing it, but not anymore)
no
Extracting doesn't do anything to your existing materia
You can extract from gear that has no materia
So I should extract, then try and retrieve?
there's no guarantee that the extracted m ateria is the type you want
but its again, free materia
Oh that's awesome
