Also just understand it’s not your fault when you wipe
I'm never playing that job in ew
i had fun lvling sch
Like, sure, we pulled too much, and we wiped,
But that’s the whole groups fault
Not any single person’s fault
i levelled SMN so SCH just feels weird and alien to me
Wiping is normal in FFXIV
you're not expected to be able to continue by the seat of your pants
Most of the time especially in Savage and ultimate content you will have upwards of a thousand wipes by the time you clear the raid tier
does anyone know what time the patch goes live on december 3rd
No blacklists are per character
that said if somebody blocked you maybe consider that they dont want to be contacted?
In approximately one hour from now on December 3rd
thank you
Related, you can be banned for harassment if you abuse alts
that’s perfect timing
no im not harrassing ppl, i just wanna check if ppl know if main and alt chars are related
Halfway through ShB what to do with extra poetics? I'm doing the daily to level two jobs at once.
!faq poetics
The only way to check in game if someone is using the same SE account but on an alt is via PSN by checking for PSN ID if they're playing on PlayStation
so for pc its impossible to check if someone is using the same SE account but on an alt?
As far as I'm aware that's correct.
whats the best way to farm the moogle tomestones right now
thank you very much for the answers!
what's the best way for me to cheaply gear my lv80 dragoon retainers with high enough ilvl gear to get better quick venture rewards?
So thanks for link... so do people actually buy 50/60/70 ironwork gear for alt jobs? Seems it would take a lot of space.
Job gear from grendolt + 490 gear with tomestones
It's not as much as you think since the majority is shared between roles
I don't buy weapons until I need them, otherwise you can fit every tomestone set pretty easily in your armoury chest
And I just realized I threw away some gear for seals I could have kept around.
thank you, these are both very good ideas
Does umbral soul have any use besides filler between pulls?
It seems like you could get something out of it with an AOE rotation, like speeding up a cold flare, but I have no idea
what does AF mean in AF gear?
Not really
is there an actual hub in uldah where people hang out? cuz the aetherite is in such a weird place
ArtiFact
thanks
The marketplace on most servers, the Quicksand on Balmung
is there a way to disable the old ffxi targeting system of cycling across mobs left to right on the screen if you already have a target? I would like it to cycle closest to furthest even if I have a target, not just if I don't already have a target.
By default PC tab targeting works this way
In Excalibur people hang out in the plaza just outside the GC quarters. Literally sit on the ground or on the benches
by default pc tab targeting works like that for the first target
if you already have a target the next target you tab to will be the next target to the right no matter the depth
no...?
I see groups hang out in the adventurers guild or just outside it too
Mine always cycles closest to furthest.
im watching it now and i havent changed anything
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
mine only chooses closest on the first press of tab
You may have done something in your settings then
i havent
Then the targeting system may have always worked this way in which case I can't help you further
The game is designed for single target fights anyways so targeting a specific mob isn't super important fwiw during in between pulls in dungeons
Guys have anyone had this problem while teleporting to ishgard? The game crashes and I can’t log into this character, but alts are fine
Verify your game files, it looks like you might have some corrupt files that are loading in that particular zone
!faq xivlauncher
Oki thank you
What does the prompt "you sense the presence of a powerful mark" mean?
An A rank hunt mob is spawned in the area
no its just annoying getting a mob off in timbuktu when i mean to target the next closest.
Like those purple events or something else?
https://youtu.be/WK0Q5HNh_D8 for an example
And how can I look for it, lol.
Something else
yes, assuming you're over leveled, you just have to fly to the hunt mark spawn points
that fixes it
whoops 
How does the mark look?
And nah not overlevelled.
There's 3-4 per zone
I can't tell you without knowing which zone it is
Mor Dhona
Thank you!
You get the hunt seal determined by expansion and some tomestones
It helped! Thank you so much!
is there a bindable keyboard command for cycling through which party members you're targeting? not f1-f8 like default. ffxi had something where you could just bind 2 keys and scroll up and down the party list with them
You can set it so you can scroll through party members via scroll wheel when holding down a button
Could it be a gigantic robot if its Mor Dhona?
do you know where that option is?
I looked
Yeah, but there also is this huge level 50 robot there that destroyed me haha
Under character config > control
yeah he clapped me
that guy
I can't kill it solo xD
I tried
I at least made a dent in his hp before he split me in half!
you can, but definitely not below level 70
it's weird that they allow a mouse keybind for scrolling through party list but not a keybind on its own
Oh well, I'm just 55 so I guess that's a lost cause
unless this does that?
No, that's your aggro list
no
Any1 know any lv 60 dungeon worth grinding for glamours? Like how lv 70 has Skallic and Bonewicca sets
probably up to you? google the sets and see which ones you want
Is this the last addon we get, i heard it closes the story
It ends the Zodiarc vs Hydaelyn arc. But there's more expansions after
it's not the end of FF14

damn 😄
never ending story lmao
Hey, uh.
I bought Endwalker on Amazon and already used my preorder code, is that all I need for early access? Because Amazon says I get the main code on December 7th, not 4th?
go look in mogstation
Well, time to level more jobs then :b ty
Just for confirmation, healers dont use det meld right?
can you use a second chance for wondrous tails if you get a line?
Healers prefer det melds since it increases healing, since dhit only scales damage done
Yes
there’s a faq for that
For level60 shire Poetics, Pankratiast is for DRG but Custodians for Tanks, correct?
can i ask a ? bout lore here?
!faq dhdet
Short version? Pick which helps you sleep at night.
Determination affects healing and damage output.
Direct Hit only affects damage output.
Both stats have relatively TINY effects to your output to begin with. We're talking single digit % difference. Of that, on an even tinier scale, DH does beat out det in terms of damage. That said, det's damage bump is pretty close to DH's, and it provides that tiny boost to heals that DH doesn't.
When it comes to that det healing boost, the increase from det is not likely to ever actually cut out a GCD heal for you. The impact is just that small. It can help during prog with lucky heal rolls when things go wrong, stacking the odds in your favor to keep people alive by the skin of their teeth. BUT it's also possible to be at a 0.1% enrage pull where the little extra oomph from stacking DH could've made the clear.
There isn't a "right" answer, so go with your gut. Don't be afraid to swap melds, especially as your progression needs change!
Yes, spoiler tags if you're far
Oooo thanks thats very useful! But another question, why do tanks need det then? Their heals are not that strong
Was this in response to my question or something else haha
nope
does elzen ear size have anything to do with lore/ how well they can hear??
dont think its spoiler :))
Cause it increases dmg as well
Yes
ty
So basically meld everything that increases most dmg first huh?
Even dps do det meld?
Why do people always join group during eureka fates? Is there some benefit to it?
easier to get gold complete = more rewards
i go for crit and det normally ||| directhit for high raiding but im a noob
I doubt ear size has any bearing on their ability to hear
Hmm, my auto-equip on tank did not auto-equip Custodian's over Pankriatist, unless I took it off entirely, then it does
Does the auto-equip only do it via item level? Doesn't take into account relevant stats as per role?
welli was reffering to biologically tbh as how the ears shape can depends on how much u can hear
Eh i doubt the designers considered that
#archived-lore-spoilers would know better
I mean, bunnies should have super hearing by that logic 
iirc pankriatist and custodian shire accessories have the same main stats only different sub stats and aren't bound to a class/job so auto-equip is a bit messy
yeah fair enough
btw is Alliance raid Duty Roulette worth it, I bloody hate Alliance raids
Accessories can be equipped on any job pre stormblood
It's the last good roulette for exp after msq and levelling
It gives as much as a leveling roulette plus poetics
Feels really long but I haven't timed it, is it time efficient
For the total rewards? quite
Pretty efficient
You just have to accept that it'll be crystal tower nine times out of ten
guess I'll do em
Man these duty roulettes take really long though, slowing down my MSQ progress daily
If you're worried about that skip main story roulette
You don't have to do all of your roulettes
It's by far the longedt
When I was still leveling I only slapped leveling, trials, and maybe alliance raid if I was feeling spicy
Side note, this isn't wow skipping some if not all of the dailies will not hurt you
They're mostly there for alts and fun
Right, because I'm thinking that unless I really need the Poetics/EXP right, the priority is reaching the current expansion Tomestone weeklies, as far away as it is rn
my dude don't worry about ShB until you finish the ShB MSQ
It is highly likely that ShB will be over by the time you get there anyways
expert and level 80 dungeons give you a shit ton of current tomestones and I wouldn't recommend burning your sanity on max level content you're nowhere near
Like 10 days til early access
Oh yeah I'm in Heavensward lol I'm very far away from unlocking the EW Weeklies, but that is essentially the only truly valuable thing to unlock yeah
as you guys are saying poetics/exp are easy to get even without constant all dailies
This isn't a rush to endgame game, it's a enjoy the journey game, no need to rush have fun with alexander
your best source of EXP will always be the highest leveling dungeon, your best source of poetics will be roulettes, mostly
How do I get red or blue crystals?
That being said if you dare, Frontline daily challenge and subsequent frontlines or PvP also give you a decent chunk of both EXP and poetics
which kind
the stuff for crafting and etc
Buy from marketboard, gather urself and I think retainer ventures can bring em back too
how you gather it?
go miner or botanist
Every node has shards you can gather
But you can usually only get 1 per attempt
Can't help it heh I started FFXIV on Nov11 and I've almost finished main part of HW
I'm enjoying the story though, but I do wanna unlock all my skills and max out TBH
god I feel like every job leads into another job lol
Finishing the MSQ leads into maxing out skills
That's how crafting and gathering works yes
That's why the answer has always been "all of them"
... Nice, my character scooped a bucket of mud from minning
Does PLD's requiescat attack/healing magic buff stay for all spell casts or just two at 8000+ mana?
When does beast tribes quest limit reset?
same as daily
all spell casts for 10s
assuming >8000 mana
And what happens if I get quests today and complete them tomorrow? Can I get new quests from the same tribe or do I need to wait another reset?
ok ty
Your dailies don't reset
if you have leftovers from the previous day you dont get new allowances
If you have quests from previous days
gm vinyl
I shouldn't be awake but here we are
happens to the best of us
What’s the difference between Ignore Depth and Cone target type? Having a bit trouble feeling the difference
It’s very poorly worded. That buff only triggers if you have 8k MP or more on cast.
So upon casting the whole thing applies to every spell afterwards
Through the wording I thought it would affect two spells since I would use 2k each to go below 8k
Skills only check when you use them, not constantly
didn't seem right so I asked here
!action requiescat
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150. Potency increases up to 550 as MP nears maximum.
Additional Effect: Increases attack magic and healing magic potency by 50% if current MP is at 80% or higher , and allows spells to be cast immediately Duration: 12s
'is mana over 80% if yes give buff, no dont'
best way to farm aetherpool in hoh?
That restriction is going to be removed next week btw
21-30
Spam 21-30
Repeat
You get 1/1 per clear
99 as before
o
cause im gonna try to lone hero
yep
don't i need to do some Extreme raid?
Mhachi Farthing and people say this is not obtainable anymore
That's for a step where you get crystal sand
There's like 20 different ways of getting the crystal sand
Several of which are out of date due to the trade in material being basically removed from the gamr
is there a macro for ocean fishing ?
what are the hints for the typhon event in gold saucer
"any way the wind blows" i think
nothing it's pure rng
oof
hilarious thing, i was just following this one dude and somehow completed it
Hi, can someone tell me please how much time left to the weekly reset? (gold saucer I. E)
i think it just ended
Awww ok
so u have another week
Thank you!
just confirming u mean the challenge log ?
Yes!
yepp
!weekly
reset happened an hour and abit ago
Ah didn't know about the bot thx!
15k to fenrir any suggestions for a quick grind?
I would just do the gates or challenge log if not completed yet
Then I guess the Gates are the quickest, unless I missed something x)
oh well
the mhachi coin itself is no longer obtainable.
the raid is still there
As much as dungeon spam is helpful
Should I focus on Bozja to conserve rested bonus
Okay
One quick thing
when they introduce the new housing zone, will they delete the old firmament (with the ishgardian restauration, ehll thou and the diadem), or will it still exist?
it will still exist.
ishgard restoration is perm
Where do I start for custom deliveries? Mordhona?
What is elemental level/Resistance rank
Level systems for Eureka (Stormblood Relic) and Bozja content (Shadowbringers Relic)
first npc is zhloe which located in Idyllshire

Can anyone explain to me how to do this step efficiently and what do I need to unlock for HW relic?
a9s farm
on party finder
equip weapon, unsync, do 20 ish runs, boom done
and if you're for some reason dead set against that, brayflox longstop hard like 100 fuckin times
and you should repair your gears
it is savage yes
eyes of the creator (savage)
you have ilvl 510 so there s no mechanics
just burn and win
how to level my botanist
diadem, leves, turn ins
i dont have leves
go out and gather from node
thats it ?
this is gatherer, go gather something
spam diadem for couple hours
thanks
then do job quests for big exp chunks
When should you start levelling up other jobs? I’m level 10 conjurer atm
diadem need lvl 10 to enter so you need to stick with lvl 5 and 10 node while doing job quest
anytime you feel like it ..
Whenever you feel like it
after you finished ur lvl 10 conjurer quest u are free to pick up anything u want
i picked up new stuff when i wasnt in a mood for msq ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That’s cool, where is the red / blue mage pick up bit at?
Need Lv50
Redmage needs you to have a lvl 50 class, it starts in ul dah
And what’s the black mage called cause I can’t see that
Thaumaturge, also Ul'dah
Thaumaturge
If you cannot reach these cities yet, just continue main quest
you will go there eventually
Already found lovely people that have been helping me & some random person came up and gave me a lil minion lol
Yes! Going to focus on that first !! Will probs get it to 50 then so the other mages and then maybe archer after ^^
I do wanna learn how to glamour stuff ASAP though
Cause my girl ain’t looking too cute 🤣
best way to level 60 to 70? level 64 atm and when I'm already done with my daily roulette idk what to do. Sidequests doesn't give much exp and dungeon/heaven on high queues take forever
!faq altlvlguide
You'll be able to learn how to glamour when main story sends you to a place called Vesper Bay
Thank you !!! 💖💖
21-30?
hoh is .. pretty empty in my exp
i'm at floor 11
Explains alot
what does it explain?
That's basically the dead zone
Just like potd, 21 is the checkpoint
I've been wondering, hows the exp gain in eureka?
fate grind
60-70? negative
eureka gives no regular exp if that’s what you meant
bozja only gives exp since it's the shb potd/hoh alternative
I just started the game again and I´m really driven off of the graphics. It looks very very bad and hurts my eyes. Is there any graphics overhaul planned or at least add better Anti Aliasing?
is there a way to fix the camera angle while mounted instead of it returning to default
The definitive, optimal settings for #FFXIV (if you're running on a decent PC or laptop).
If you can't get 60 FPS with these settings, you should use what works for you, but please don't use the "High" or "Maximum" presets, as they waste frames in stuff you barely see!
1074
3776
like if i wanna see the side of my mount while moving
without having to hold left click
you can also try using gshade with a gameplay preset, if that helps
sorry to ask again. what lvl ixali beast tribal to require the mount?
very true makes huge difference

with shade. you might not notice difference but the lighting is soooo much better.
ty
is there a camera settings option?
for when ur mounted
actually scratch that
where can i check the camera settings?
You can’t set a specific camera height for when you’re mounted
but can i have the camera stay like a little to the right while im in motion
But the global setting is under the first tab in character config
There’s no over the shoulder mode
Ah you talking about the movement when you look around?
ye
Ye thats little annoying
Is it a bannable offense when DPS get mad at me for not buffing them? I'm an astro, I had 2 ranged DPS and I would buff the MCH over the BRD because.. why not, right? And the BRD got mad at me over it?
@honest anvil@alpine shadow thx guys
apparently i can't have the particles go away so this was the next best option
while flying i mean
Also i recommand changing the movement
of?
You're fine, thats not a bannable offense. If the person got vulgar you could even report them.
Didn't insult me luckily, but they kept rambling how I never buffed them I was like.. I buff you when I got two back to back cards..
how is it different?
when you move around and use your mouse to look you'll notice it
S will make your character turn around and walk backwards
It is more camera-based tho, so lmb to look around will move your character in that direction (if you're moving)
so instead of camera moving where your charc goes, it only moves when you move it yourself
right just tried it out
But it won't turn your character before you start moving
so try standard right
i actually prefer standard
then keep moving forward and hold right click to look other way
If you are a caster and is in the middle of casting skills but a non fatal aoe is about to be thrown at you do you evade or stay casting to avoid dps loss?
Yea either is fine 🤷
you'll notice the charc will go back to normal camera
It's just preference
i just prefer legency and thought it was worth looking into if you want something more or less better smoother
i like panning the camera around when im walking sometimes even to look behind me
and legacy makes the character turn with the camera
yeah for quicker responds
at least to me it feels more smoother. but im just saying if you like it
prioritise staying alive .. in casual content .. take the vul or some dmg is fine cause you wont die immediately but it’s good practice to avoid aoe
not to mention it’s not the healer’s responsibility to top you up if you take avoidable dmg
in high-end content, generally opting not to do a mechanic will kill you
in all forms of casual content, exercise judgement on whether it's worth it
most avoidable damage will break casts anyway
but another advice i like to give is making this as a movement
into A and D
makes it more smoother movement
What kind of content can we expect in 6.0 aside from the msq? Will we get first part of the trial series? Ik raid don't come until 6.05.
Changes to housing purchasing system I guess
Usually i just continue my holy (art of war doesnt have cast so its much easier to avoid this situation and gravity has long range) but it seems like i sacrifice a lot of hp in the process. Rarely die though
ex versions ofmsq trials
And probably at least one optional dungeon
We will have three msq trials
And two of them will have ex on launch
The third one get their ex just a lil bit late
ohh i see^^
The philosophy here is to let players take their time with the story
What do you want to know?
the tomestone command ^^
ah that one, ty!
Use it here to ask questions or to answer them
Use #kupo-bot-spam if you are looking it up for yourself
What level do I need to unlock dragoon? :)
Lv30 lancer
The former
Jobs are upgrades to that class
Classes are basically an antiquated mechanic that just means baby job at this point
Nice, how come when I played rogue it became a lv1 ninja
Today is the day for Wondrous Tales right?
Woooo
I had a lv19 rogue 🤔
Oh wait
Maybe I'm misremembering, I might've unlocked rogue at lv15 instead of ninja
That's a different class entirely
Ah right ok
ah yes the classic
ah
waw
this game
amazing
never thought i would be trolled so hard for this one sentence
It's memed and referenced in the dwarve beast tribes
hahahahaha
Do we know how many hours Endwalker maintenance would be
Or at least ShB maintenance if not

So I'm nearing level 80 MSQ on Shadowbringers. I'm looking for some (dragoon) armor and a weapon that can get me through post Shadowbringers and standard raids/alliance raids until Endwalker releases. When Endwalker releases I can just use poetics to get the augmented gear. Y'all get any tips for armor right now?
I think augmented exarchic armor from the marketboard should be fine
I believe when you do your role quests for Shadowbringers you get free gear for your job
normal exarchic is enough
Ain't the market board gear expensive as fuck?
Can be
You can only buy normal HQ exarchic
Hmm is augmented the one you get via the white tomestones?
a mil for the full set in most cases
Augmented can't be traded
Jesus fuck
That's cheap
Its both sides
Lol
You can do the Eden raids for other armor which is a bit less powerful but it's a bigger grind
otherwise, grind tomes or nier raids
Crafted gear is a few mil PER piece on new raid tier
Jesus
1 mil for a set Is cheap
All
Yes
So how do I get my 80 dragoon armor from the role quests?
From Grendolt
The guy who blocks you in the story for not doing it
The game even says when you can get it from it
He's in the Tempest
And you can talk to him with a different DPS class or whatever for a new set?
Yes
Or is it a one time thing for one class?
you can freely get the set back as needed for every job
That's ilevel 430 and the last dungeon in ShB requires 490
How in the hell do I even get that
Oh ffs
btw is there a guide for leveling crafters?
The 8man and 24man series and tomes is how you're meant to gear up naturally
When I'm done grinding that gear Endwalker releases lol
Will be he same for endwalker
Hello,. but what Data center is Elemental (Canbury) in the Role Selections.
JP

do you have to beat bismarck ex and ravana ex before you can do when the bough wakes
No
how do you ulock lvl80 dungeon roulette https://i.imgur.com/UlPeo3x.png
Is Pick Clean's gathering bonus affected by nodes with extra HQ chance?
hi, just wanted to check what's the best way to go about buying dlcs. im thinking cheapest is starter pack + preorder endwalker, but does that mean I can't access shadowbringers and stormblood till dec 3?
AFAIK, it doesn't.
alright, ty
I've used it on nodes that gave me 100% HQ and it still won't consistently give +3
yeah, same
Dose Anyone Know The Most Effective Way to Get Gil?
marketboard manipulation/control
Figure out what's in demand and sell it
But i Dont Know How To Put Stuff On The Market Board
I made like 70m in the course of a couple of months by making replica glamour gear on the cheap and selling whichever pieces had low supply.
Self-research
Alrighty then
Whereas I've made and lost my fortune working on pteranodon
look through the categories on the MB and then have it filter/sort by stuff on people's wishlists
that'll give a decent initial impression
how can i tell if an item is bought using poetics?
Is there a recommended guide for leveling crafters fast?
anyone there who can help me get my steam account to run? i can't play because it says i dont have a license (despite having a 210 day sub), and i can't register my endwalker preorder code
it's driving me nuts
https://i.imgur.com/rWvTeeN.png
bruh, i cant cast spells on npcs, what do
on that one you probably can
hey i just wanna know i cast a loot on 62 number and a member party get 60
and he got the item instead why ?
just make sure you have a diurnal/nocturnal stance on
need beats greed
;-;
this man with 5 kids has just got to die i guess
he's the only dying person around
pick the glowing, sparkly one
ok need beats greed but on what number range
always
need 1 beats greed 99
1 need beats 99 greed
you can look up the quest on youtube to check you're targeting the right npc
are you using “aspected” benefic?
ah, yes that works
cause benefic stays vanilla even under a sect, aspected is a separate button fwiw
dirunal aspected aspected benefic
cuz benefic aint good enough for this twat
Is it worth leveling culinarian for EW or just the other crafters?
all of them

cul gets to make a lot of gil when raids release
What's the difference with standard Exarchic gear from the market board and Ornate Exarchic gear?
ornate has 5 meld slots guaranteed
fair enough
So close to Endwalker, not a problem
NOt doing savage Shadowbringers stuff now lol
Also, what's the difference between high quality items and standard? How can you even see what a piece of armor is?
what does cleanup A2C mean?
HQ crafted items have significantly better stats than NQ items.
What's the general opinion of using Duty Finder to find Raids? (like Alexander and Coils of Bahamut)
I've gotten to the questline wanting me to queue into Alexander - Fist of the Father but i'm still on Free Trial (so I don't have access to Party Finder)
To the point that it's simply not worth crafting NQ Exarchic Gear because of how much better HQ Exarchic Gear is.
All raids can be done on duty finder except coils
df is fine for alexander and later.
It's fine for Alexander because everyone is running them.
the only one not meant to be df'd is coils
Coils can't be run via DF.
well it can but it's just
a very very bad idea
May I ask when this dang game will actually put me into the first expansion? These patch quests have been for the most part just busy work and I'm getting worn down.
I just did the Labyrnth raid
Where can you see if an item is HQ or NQ?
That's the main story still lol
can i get riding maps in free trial?
Whats ur current msq quest name
I don't have am main quest atm. Talking to Minfilia gives me an error and says to go do the Crystal Tower questline.
HQ items have this sparkle-shine on their icon
And this thing 
And 
Crystal Tower is required to be finished
It's extra annoyng cuz I can't gain any new Dragoon abilities as I keep leveling up during these quests. I should have gotten three new skills by now (I'm lv56) and I can't get any of them until the expansion starts.
You have to do it or plot points in a later expansion won't make sense.
And this is the first raid of the crystal tower quest line
i think i need some alliance seals or smthn and pvp is locked for free trial soo...
So keep doing the
that pop up from that
They literally made it impossible to progress in ARR until you beat the crystal tower stuff
My character's abilities have been completely static for many hours now
Nothing new.
I'm aware. I started in July.
ah
So just... do the raids.
So if I preorder Endwalker I will automatically gef 30 days of gametimr starting from December 3rd, correct?
When this was current level cap was 50 and states that way for 2 years
Your in that part of the story
No
It tells me there are skills I meet the minimum level cap for but cuz these damned patch quests are still going on I haven't gotten any of them.
Free fametime is only from the base game
Please tell me this is the most sluggish portion of the game I'll ever have to go through and things will get better XD
You also wont get them when u reach Heavensward, they'll be locked behind Heavensward progression
So if I preorder Endwalker I also have to buy a sub?
Even if you had them you don't have access to level 51+ content where you can actually use them
You can't preorder it without owning the base game
I know that
Yes, this is the most sluggish portion of the game by far.
does anyone know why the ffxiv website wont load?
The pacing tends to get better with every expansion.
I just want to know if Endwalker comes with 30 days included
Or if I have to go to Mogstation and renew the sub
I just told you no
No expansion ever comes with gametime, only buying the basegame
So when I do hit Heavensward, I won't be able to just do the Job Quests I meet the level requirement for? THey're limited by Main Scenario progression?
All right, bit lame but all right
ARR is typically referred to as the filter
Yes. HW zones are locked behind MSQ progression
You will, provided you have enough msq progress to access the areas they're in
Okay, thank you all for your help. Guess I'll get on those Crystal Tower quests.
Iirc most of the dragoon ones are in the hinterlands and West Coerthas so you'll be able to do most of them
I was so bored of not getting anything new I literally did the Praetorium a few times to buy Item Level 130 gear
Crystal tower was optional, but they made its story Canon to the main story so now it's mandatory.
That's why you're at this wall
well everything is canon
that's not what you mean
CT became mandatory knowledge for late MSQ
I'm wearing a full set of Augmented Ironworks lv50 gear (item level 130)
Looks so cool
The spear morphs when you draw it lol
That's cid, biggs and wedge's collective handiwork, hence ironworks set
I don't have the rings/necklaces to the set
That's the best gear you can have until around level 55 of the heavensward msq
but I have the main stuf
Praetorium is almost worth the forced cutscenes. I got around 500 Allagan Tomestones last run.
You'll get some extra tomes from the crystal tower, would advise replacing some of those accessories
Lowest item level stuff first
So without any real knowledge of stat management, I've gotten "aiming" items for my Dragoon
has this been the proper choice?
no
being as gentle as possible, stats tell you what they do on your character menu
take a common sense guess
does anyone know why my ffxiv website wont load, im trying to reinstall the game but i cant because the website wont load. any help?
I mean, the concept of "aiming" yes, sounds like something restircted to a ranged class, but the stats inclue skill speed and stuff so I figured...
it does not have strength which makes you do damage
Tenacity does? Sorry, I'm on controller and getting into menus is annoying so I'm asking. I have to choose betwen Fending and Slaying for these accessories, and the only difference is Tenacity vs Critical Hit
tenacity is a useless stat
Tenacity is Tank only
and especially useless for non-tanks
Okay. Got it. Fending it is.
Affects the amount of physical and magical damage dealt and received, as well as HP restored. The higher the value, the more damage dealt, the more HP restored, and the less damage taken.
Only applicable when role is Tank.
uh
Thanks again for helping the noob
No
doubt it
You need to get Maiming
why cant i see the captain mission even though my entire squad is 50+?
So what's the big difference from running the Coils of Bahamut vs Alexander? I just did Fists of the Father, which was just a mini-boss and then a boss (Very straightforward)
I think you might need to do 5 UNIQUE command missions. Like run your group through a dungeon.
coils difficulty is all over the place but basically savage in the most challenging spots
alexander starts to establish the usual raid scheme of this game
meaning one boss fight per instance and a normal and a savage version of each fight, normal being very casual
alex still deviates from that in places, but it's where things take shape
im gonna try that then, thanks
Coils is from a time BEFORE we separated high end difficulty and casual difficulty raids
Raids generally get more straightforward as you go along
From Stormblood onwards they don't even have any trash, just plop you straight in the arena
So if by some means I did manage to queue into Coils via DF, it wouldn't end too well. Blind, especially.
I’m doing the question a soldiers breakfast and I can’t see the eggs, where the are meant to spawn they aren’t there and I’ve YouTubed it and I’m at the right places and they aren’t there and the anoles aren’t dropping any and I’ve killed like 20 of them
I've never really done gardening (outside of fire shards), can I grow things like chocobo onions on a small lot? I remember something about cross breeding etc.
depends on the turn, but generally yeah
which is why people don't do it
like one turn is literally a jumping puzzle with some trash
and then there is nael, a full fledged savage-ish difficulty bossfight
There’s a reason coils aren’t in roulettes lmao
Well I'll eventually get to try it. At least for the sake of story. I'm glad though I can at least do Alexander. I was beginning to think I wasn't going to be able to do any Raids on Free Trial.
the eggs are on the ground for you to interact with iirc
you dont kill the mobs for eggs
The eggs are in the nest
its on the little plateau, two anoles walk around it
Yeah they weren’t there, one appeared in the middle of the path weirdly
Thanks ! I got one ^^
I know that if EW had came out the 19th of november I should've prepared a Wondrous Tails starting the 9th, so ten days before the early access, therefore am I supposed to work on a wondrous tail starting today's daily reset to bet in time for Endwalker ?
It would be today
Reset was 6.5 hours ago
Weekly reset and daily reset are at different times
Currently in the Duty Finder for the Syrcus Tower. Time to finish these patch quests lol
...lovely
Have you played ff3?
on the DS once upon a time
Did you ever finish it?
got to the final castle
You can probably recognise the final boss theme in the labyrinth and tower
Anyone here who wants to craft me a full set of Dragoon Exarchic armor (including accessories excluding waist) and how much gil in return?
Honestly, just buy the cheapest exarchic pieces you can on the mb and augment them to maiming pieces
It's probably cheaper this late into an expansion
Why would I need augmented ones though
I just need a few to get me through post ShB, let me do the standard raids/alliances and get me through the first parts of EW
does anyone know how to fix this?
no
Because augmenting is piss cheap and an extra 10 item levels
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
lol
How do I augment them?
many times
has anyone here ever had any success getting into the SE support chat? it seems it's still too early in the morning
thanks.

What carpenter gear do I need to craft 3-star gear?
Do I need to level up my trusts before EW?
Trying to look for it on the net but nuffin
For story no, if you intend on using them to grind ew dungeons after you finish story, yes
ok
Also they massively buffed the exp for trust dungeons
they will or they have?
So like 2 runs to get an npc ready for the next dungeon
They have, for the ShB dungeons
Ew dungeons will almost definitely have un-nerfed exp
do you have anti virus/
My anti virus
thinks FFXIV
is like a infected program sometimes
the launcher*
I have uhhhh Bitdefender
do you use Bitdefender?
btw anti virus program are a thing of the past with windows defender existing
off-topic tho
#technology-discussion knows better for adding exceptions for ff into your firewall
whats the DRK gear for lvl 50/60 (whenever they get their unique gear)
i dont remember what its called

I just read that if I preorder endwalker I get to access it on the 19th??
endwalker's release date has been delayed
early access is now the 3rd of dec, official release the 7th
ah alright, cool thanks 👍
Now that I’ve bought endwalker will I get access to shadowbringers now or on the third
whenever it releases
So I’ll Get the shadowbringers dlc on the 6th when endwalkers release
Ah alright
Hi does anybody know how balanced chocobo racing is ?
Like can I face people with maxed birds or ?
Honestly I’m addicted too it lmao
No you get people/cpus in your rating bracket, I’m 80% sure
Okay sweet 😄 thank you very much
I’ve only done four races but it’s so much fun lol
Got first twice 😛
I have a question. I'm a new player and just bought ff14. Will I get all expansions if I preorder EW?
And what is the difference between EW standard edition and collector's edition?
Collector's Edition has some in game bonuses
Like a mount
ok thx
PSA: If you don't hand in your WT log in its relevant week, you only get the tome/certificate rewards. You do not get the EXP rewards if it's the previous weeks log.
Might as wellhand it in this week for full rewards and save next Tuesday's to hand in Friday.
Can someone confirm this?
That we can't stack WT exp?
Wt expires after 2 weeks
So if you get a wt right now and wait til after the 7th to hand it in you get nothing
YOU LOSE
GOOD DAY SIR
Might as well get it to 7 and shuffle for the next week then
Try your luck for 3 ljnes
Hmm
Yes
But if it doesn't give exp there's no point
I don't see why it wouldn't
Which is why i wanted confirmation
Will plots in the new residential district be available on 6.0 or later patches?
Later
Can anyone kindly point me to any info on events (IRL or online) for either early access or launch for Endwalker? Could be official or community based, even anything in Japan. My basic search didn’t turn up anything.
what type of events?
everyone will want to play the game so most servers will probably have a bunch of people in voice chats, irl i doubt anything will be happening because.. people will be sat at their desks playing the game lol

heyo i understood there is a 24h maintenance on December 2nd right? cuz i was wondering what would happen if i don't do the GC Deliveries in the evening to then find out the items wanted changed due to new recipes. 😮
how long do you need to farm pvp for the Late Allagan Healing top
around 4 matches if you count daily
3 or fewer daily roulettes
i bought shadowbringers on steam but on mogstation it says i dont have it installed, do i need to input a code that i get from somewhere?
I'm like 7 million or so exp away from lvl 80 but don't want to get locked into a dungeon if I level up midway
what should I do?
Have you done your daily pixies?
Will I get a free month for preordering EW?
Free month is only for buying the base game
Haven't, will they be enough?
Can mentor roulettes include savage raids?
Is there a way to change log window location?
what time does 6.0 drop?
no

Thank you
Gear for your retainer(s)?
Oh yes, I forgot about my retainers. thank you
Ye I've been trying to remember to grab enough for break point myself but keep forgetting 
if i for example find a bow but im not an archer, can i just equip it and become archer class or do i have to join that guild first
Gotta join
I have a question about FCs - is it generally expected that I will join FC from my home world, or are FCs cross-world, just on the same datacenter?
how come im unable to go to vesper bay?
FCs are restricted to your homeworld
MSQ
thanks!
You must progress past level 15 MSQ
oh ok, i thought you just had to be level 15 just from char
Yea msq
Story is everything
anyone know when the PS5 patch6.0 drops?
Sometime around december 3rd
we dont know how long the maintenance will be and when it finishes
@solemn jewel we know that it's scheduled to end at 9am st
Could be 6 hour maintenance (9pm ET to 3am ET) could be 24 hour maintenance
maintenance will be 24h if its like the other expansions and will start 1 day before early access
Even if it ends early the servers stay closed til that time
are samurai class fun to play?
Like any major pass
Subjective
Eh, a little button bloaty personally
okay is it like good class or worst class
!faq meta
does this mean I can do the moogle quests till then?
There's no bad jobs
There’s no real tier list for 14
idk, i heard dark knight class is not doing good
There are no bad jobs, just players unwilling to git gud
DRK is fine
And will be fine in endwalker
People are just not excited for the changes
lol okay i think i already got my answer. thank you
Drks new Endwalker tools just aren't as flashy as the other tanks
i don't think the flashy is the problem
but nvm i already got the answer i needed.
Everything comes down to player competence. Hell I main RDM which is/are lower on the DPS because of their support access, and I can hold second or third in aggro in an 8 man for most of a fight.
alright bet
Also plenty of people play DRK
isnt the OT supposed to be second aggro 🤔
Only if there’s a mandatory tank swap
You mean, if they leave their stance on
You mean if a Buster targets the 2nd in aggro
If there isn’t they just keep tank stance off
There are skills that target second in aggro
It is.
Which Is why they want to be second
I always get 8th aggro without stance as tank
DRK looks like it will be in a good situation balance wise in Endwalker.
Thanks!
Samurai is fun and popular.
Because without stance the only way tanks gain aggro is attack, and tank damage is below dps
yep
bet
You know its bad when ur whm is third aggro lul
yall would it be a good idea to stall the shadowbringers patches msq until reaper releases since its lvl 70 job and can't do endwalker msq with reaper right off the bat?
sorry for noob question
started late october
just thought getting the xp from msq would be nice to feed into reaper
Other leveling methods are faster. Do whatever sounds fun, though.
whats the fastest to lvl a job?
What's the best way to get Yellow Crafter's script?
For 70–80 in Endwalker it will presumably still be Bozja
Depends on role and current level. Roulettes > Bozja > Dungeon spam probably.
