okay
One MSQ roulette per day
7.5 days
nope just suprising i played allot of mmorpg and 95% if them is p2w
minimum 49 mogtomes
trust me this game's system is insanely good. every player pays to play, but they all pay the same amount
where you can just pay to get good stuff? You can do that somewhat with level boosts. But then you still have to learn the class.
If you die die too bored too much money must boost
Can someone explain the mid level exp reset in 6.0?
can i use these lore tomestones for these riding maps? if yes where do i buy em
ive read it twice but still dumbfounded
when EW hits, xp bar progress goes to 0, current levels preserved
99% to a level up? get wiped
oh
are there riding maps for idyllshire and rhalgr reach?
Exp values are getting reduced because they are high right now. So when ew launches and everything is squished, thr current progress towards the next level for a class will be reset
no
thank you for explaining guys
Those places have riding speed increased upon completion of 3/4.0 msq
Only ARR areas have 2 riding maps.
or 2 speed levels so to speaj
to confirm: it is impossible to HQ 4* crafts without HQ pre-crafts, right? (level 80 stuff)
All zones but shadowbringers do
shb also has some you buy them with bicolor gems iirc but only unlocks the first ground speed upgrade
Question. Is there any way to hide the "pet bar" completely? My game is set so that my Bar 1 changes to pet bar. Which is fine, but I also have a 2nd pet bar on my screen that i can't figure out how to hide.
right click it so the name turns blue in HUD layout
Ok I'll try that in a sec. Doing Prae so i'm in a cutscene. 😛
Ok it was already off in both, so I turned it back on, then off again. So maybe it will stay off now.
You can hit 98% with HQ sand, which...you should be using since people only sells HQ sand, and gathering them themself will also get u HQ sand
thats with BiS?
no really "BiS" for crafters since melds are catered more or less towards what u want to craft, but that's with the high tier set from balance
If you're trying to get into crafting and getting pentamelded, don't bother, expansions hits in a week and all those melds will go to waste before u even hit level 90 on crafters
my moggle mails was full and i didn't recive my purchase from mogsation what should i do
clear them out and hit the option to resend mail
should i press it again ?
if i use new game plus to play the story again , can i quit at any time or will i be stuck until i finish the story again ?
you can exit NG+ anytime
hitting it once is enough once you cleared out some space, it won't arrive instantly, you will need to wait
ok thanks

Question, when will be the last day in which I will be able to activate my pre order codes for EW?
I am still on Trial, so I am waiting until the last day to maximise my time on it
31st march 2022
Oh, I was told that it was until launch of ew, uh, nice
Anyone know how much Crysta is worth for one month?
what chat option is this?
the yellow color? /yell
what does it do?
1 crysta = 1cent so 1499 crysta for a normal sub iirc
Thx
im on free trial so haven't been able to experiment with most options
say = people near you
yell = say but significantly bigger
shout = entire zone
ah, thx
Can the versatile lure catch anything that isn't a special fish?
I believe so
Is there a way I can remove my weapons like not show them will walking around
okay, thank you!
cuz I wanna make a casual look
yeah there's a sword icon underneath your character preview
no prob!
The hat icon does the same thing for headgear
I got you Serph
i pre-ordered EW on my pc, i dont have shadowbringers on my pc but i do own the expansions on ps4, basically im switching platforms, steam, i wanted to know if on november 3rd, since i pre ordered it, ill still have acess to EW, or if ill have to wait till december 7th for the official release since i dont own shb on pc and thats the official release date
How long is 24h in game equivalent to irl? I always thought it was like 70min or so.
because theres one more tuesday reset before endwalker early access, does that mean if I grab a khloe journal now, its my last chance to complete a book, turn it in on reaper, then grab a new book and turn that in on reaper again
yes
I cant like grab a book now, complete it, and still do a double book turnin on the 3rd
cool thanks
you want to save this week's book to double dip next week
24h is roughly 70m, yes
Shadowbringers comes with Endwalker, so if you redeem the key for PC you'll be fine
but will it be available on november 3rd? like, will i still be able to acess the shb areas and my gnb? or do i have to wait till december 7th? ive seen people saying yes and others no and its so confusing
*december 3rd i mean
you will probably need to wait till the 7th for the official release if its like before
You should be able to redeem the key during the early launch
since the 3,4,5,6 counts as preorder period
I've never paid attention if it's the day it comes out in early launch or not, I would think you could do it right away given there's no reason to hold off
You only have a week of play without the key
Early Access is 6.0 patch and people who pre-ordered can do EW stuff
Actual release is when you can enter the proper EW key from steam and you get all the other expansions
oh so like, every player progress during the early acess is just reset?
no
It's a head start
people who pre-ordered can go grab sage/reaper, start doing msq and progress through the gear and stuff
basically if you pre-ordered and own shb, endwalker starts with EA for you
Otherwise, you gotta wait for actual release to get shb and stb
its pretty stupid to be honest...
Kinda silly how SE handles this
it is
It's overly complicated
it is what it is
like now im debating if i should just rebuy shb or wait another week
you'll only have to wait like 4 days anyways
You're only waiting until Tuesday
Whats the best way to farm allagan tombstones?
not like the 3/4 days will hurt since savage ony comes out after 4 weeks
Yea you're right, its really not worth it, just gotta avoid spoilers with all i can
which ones
It would be nice for them to give temporary access to all expansions, since they have the EW early access
Poetics?
Gives me some more time to get my dragoon to 80 too
Poetics - Aetherial Research Facility
Allegory/Revelations - hunt trains
Poetics
thanks for the replies everyone
and I just finished arr dunno if I have that
Assuming you ffinished HW
Aetherial
Otherwise, iirc there's a lvl 50 dungeon that gives 80 or a 100?
!faq poetics
Also your daily MSQ roulette is like 600 if you got daily bonus
I think the hard dungeons give 100poetics
Will the stuff go away in endwalker like inferno jacket?
the mog event will be gone yes
How much time do I have left?
until endwalker releases
So a week
[Date & Time]
Dec. 2, 2021 9:00 to Dec. 3, 2021 9:00 (GMT)
- Completion time is subject to change.
Wait...are u asking about poetics or the tomestones for the event?
is the maintenance time
Oh I wanted to know how to farm both but someone told me to just keep doing last arr quest
so poetics yeah already have a plan for the other one
So I'm trying to get the Emperors New Gear but the vendor is not selling it. Is there some quest I need to do first to unlock the gear.

What are the most profitable items to exchange company seals for?
I have a problem: i don't know what to do with trash loot like fish. As i remember there was a Doma where you could donate trash items and level this area. Did they add something like that in Shadowbringers?
Nah
Depends on your server, you'll have to check your marketboard
Alright.
you need to have a lvl15 crafter to get the quest to unlock the emperors new gear
you can lvl any crafter to like 15/20 rly fast and cheap with the materials from the npc were you unlocked the crafter
whats the best way to level up BLU at higher levels? (60-70)
ask a lvl 80 to help you level near the beach in kholusia with the many lvl70 mobs, you hit/tag the mob and the lvl80 helps you kill it but you cant be in a party while doin it
ah ok, thanks 👍
Thanks for the help
Is there a 24h maintenance before EW release?
Yes
Kk
but I got another question can you see the Emperors New Gear
if I drink fantasia, the option to change my look will remain until I commit to them, even if I go to the customization page and back out, correct?
yes
Yes
You can.
Despite the name, they're not hard
my country isnt listed 🙂
Some of them have individual mechanics on bosses that could be considered harder than regular dungeon mechanics.
No difference in difficulty, just in the same location but different layout and bosses
But from a scaled level, they're on-par with anything else as long as you've got the appropriate gear for them.
alright thanks
country not listed, imma try greenmangaming
Anyone has a advice on what to spend clusters on, Odin Server?
is there a dyeable version of the sharlayan coat?
So I just bought EW standard on steam, and just redeemed the pre order bonus, I tried to use the standard edition code but it says its invalid, will I be able to use it only when EW comes out?
Yes
Cool, ty
Will you need to register a second code after Early Access for full game?
Yes, the full game code probably?
My country wasn't listed too, I just put another country and it worked
I say probably as this is the first only digital release of an FFXIV expansion
aha
Yes, you do in fact get 2 codes lol
One for the pre order bonus and one for the actual expansion, its super unnecessary to have 2 codes but w/e
Well formerly it was because the EA code is to give physical preorders a grace period for their actual game code to arrive
2 codes? I only got 1
Where did you buy it?
The actual code will be given to you via your storefront once EA arrives
That being said Steam and PSN give you it already
storefront?
This is only for the SE store as far as I'm aware
I bought digital
square store
Then you'll be given it in your Orders page once EA is out
so they send an email?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Usually they charge you when your code is ready
I've been charged and I have no updates on my EW code
I've already paid in full
so just check your SE store account orders page after EA is out
EA is a grace period after all
been charged and got mine like a week ago
by email, or do you have to go check the store page manually?
What if I always checkout as guest?
Store page manually
alright
Check your order email
man they're really taking 5 steps when only 1 is needed
It has 1 code, I'll get another mail when EW is out?
Mmmmm delicious playonline
Is there a way I can auto sort my inventory like world of Warcraft
got my invoice per mail and a link at the bottom that redirects you to the SE store basically
Right click > sort

Dang I’m so stupid thanks
is it a good idea to start fishing for Hybodus at my highest job being 50
assuming thats what i wanna do
Assuming you have the stats on your fisher sure
As long as you have access to the zones you can do whatever

will I have access to the zones at that level I have no clue how fishing works
it'd be my first time fishing
Okay so all crafters and gatherers have their own independent level
You'll have to level them up by gathering, though your Class Quests and Leves let you level them faster by having you create or gather specific items
Once you hit 60 and complete the 3.3 MSQ in Heavensward, you gain access to Ishgard Restoration which is also another source of EXP
Except for Job Advancements and Arcanist jobs (Summoner and Scholar) nothing shares EXP
so do I need to be 60?
Specifically you need any combat job at 60 to complete the 3.3 MSQ
As 3.3 is the final arc of the Heavensward stories
but that's if you wish to use the Restoration to level your fisher
how much harder will it be to do it without restoration? in what way does the level impact how I get the mount
OH THE MOUNT
well you can certainly try but there's a lot of useful skills behind job quests
I personally wouldn't recommend trying for it until you hit 80 for both maximum GP and the skills
I see
anything less and you'll have to both get lucky with the boat and cross your fingers RNG is on your side because well
Fishing
is the endwalker early access just some kind of beta test? or will stuff from the beta test carry over to the "official release"
early access is just a way to disclaim problems with the servers
It's the grace period so that physical preorders can get their physical discs without having to wait
It's the actual patch already
does colectibles give you more exp when youre mining ects or when you hand them in
that being said it's mostly just grandfathered in now since it's all digital now
When you turn them in
gotcha, ty all
ok good
All progress carries over
When early access starts all changes except the new Quests n classes are live for everyone
cause im getting nothing out here
unless something catastrophicly breaks rollbacks don't happen
They've only done 1 rollback
that being said they did delay it for QA reasons so
As I recall
That was at the very start of the game when it came out
It's the climax of the story, there'll won't be many issues I'd imagine, given how important this expansion is storywise, and the fact Yoshi is making sure everything is ready to go
As a matter of interest what was it
no
Something to do with Gil being modded into the game
I think that goes a wee bit beyond a rollback
Makes sense
If I test a rotation on teamcraft, can I export it as a macro somehow?
Battle macros don't work
teamcraft is crafting
Omg
XD
ohh I found the generate ingame macro button!
I'm glad we came to a resolution lol
XD
Does anyone know if the crafter class quests will still require HQ items in 6.0? This seems to indicate that those will remain unchanged https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/72ca546a9140ce3231d589ec4bc078b6da03fe93
Bleh well thankfully that's easier than HQ gathering
should I skip the roulettes not mentioned there and go straight to dungeons ?
Yes
alright
They'll probably be changed to require more NQ items
So if it was 15 HQ, 30-45NQ
I’m curious how would normal raid roulette compare
Because it seems to hand out decent xp and usually doesn’t take more than 6-10 mins depending on which raid series you get
It's meh
So uh. How do I place retainers in my apartment? I know you can put them in. I'm in an apartment right now with one.
hey is there a good website with a gallery of weapon glamour ?
That's a retainer. In an apartment.
And my FC house has tons of retainers.
Not mine but the FC I'm in.

Then are you unable to customize them?
Rip. That's a shame. I'll need to look up the different housing NPCs. That explains a lot.
hi, I switched job from lancer to rouge and I want to continue doing MSQ with rouge but I need to be level 15 to do it. any tips on how to level up fast?
!faq altlvlguide
Basically do your hunting logs
^
Thank you!
Imagine
what do i do when im leveling a healer and im not comfortable with a tank doing massive pulls, but im on ps4 and cant type fast enough before they run off and start fighting
erm
try to type it before the dungeon starts i suppose
ye thatll work
say youre newish to healing or something
oh does it not get removed if i pretype it?
ill try next time i queue for something im bad at (which could be very soon lol)
You can pre type
Or make a macro
Macro would make the most sense to me
Type it once, never type it again
Though you should really invest in a keyboard for your PS4, it'll make a huge difference to how you interact with people
@heady vortex make a macro
i should do those it would help a lot
but man
this experience makes me respect healers, way more how do yall do this all the time lol
Just takes practice
You'll build up the confidence over time
You'll also be better geared, so it won't feel as bad
ah yea true
Most competent tanks will pay attention to the first pull and see if a healer is struggling
And pull smaller after that
im a tank main that tries not to pull every enemy in existence so healers done hate me but then theres tanks like, that guy
who did none of that
i struggled to heal him cuz of how massive he pulled, and he was laggy
so aggro kept dropping too
yea, he would just lag and freeze in place for a full min or so at a time
Ooooooof
if it's an experienced healer then pull as much as you want
and also
never, used, the defense cool downs-
yeah he sucks
you get some tanks with the WoW mentality
Competent tanks should also know what dungeons have mobs that smack the hardest too
Cough bardams mettle cough
Context, he was trash talking me for dpsing and keeping him alive
oh damn
The mere fact he used no cooldowns means he lost the fight before it begun
im just so rusty at healers...ive leveled one before but they are changing that job so im learning a new one all over again cuz it has, also been mutiple months since i tried healing at all
I had the moral high ground on both accounts

Will you be able to join FC feom different world on Endwalker?
no
FCs are still home world bound
Shit
i figured
You misspelled Paladin
I'll take the higher survivability over dps
I think the point of the channel has ran away from y'all at this point
#tank-lounge is that way
yea lmao
I forgot this channel is stricter
understandable I'm busy with Thanksgiving stuff
Just keep the lounges in mind next time
Is EW going to make crafting simpler?
No, it'll be more or less the same
Just the removal of HQ materials you can gather
heard someone ask smthn bout it being a synthesis grind
awh that sux
why would they do that??
because inventory space is limited and people hoard materials they don't need
leading on that raw HQ Mats will also no longer give a quality bonus
HQ precrafts still will
precrafts?
like ingots and leather
when you craft crafting material
right
so you can craft while you craft
okay so it doesn't sound too bad
It won't be changing how I craft stuff anyways since I only need HQ alc mats and HQ aethersand which is guaranteed
but the HQ gathering stuff was the best part of gathering
the other job quests were lowkey go get 99 wood
good news you'll have more yield up abilities so those will be less of a grind
yea but now there's nothing much to look fwd to in gathering
collectables will still be around
That's debatable and probably outside the scope of being a question at this point
Point is for a crafter like me yield up will help overall since I never bothered with HQ
Always downgraded my materials to save on inventory space 
cudve just increased inventory space
to show you the power of increased inventory space I snapped this server in half
;-;
Do you know how much fish is in my inventory after a single ocean fishing trip
Too much
thought as much
ocean fishing shouldn't take any more than half a page
And there's no reason to keep ocean fish around
half a pa- whut now?! i only have that much after discarding or selling most of my stuff
im scared to go ocean fishing now
you have retainers for a reason
unless you're on the free trial in which case good luck
yep that's the case
does free trial have access to the choco saddle bag?
Yes cause they get companions

Provided they bother to unlock it
hello kind people of ffxiv, what would happen if i buy endwalker on steam, then buy the game after endwalker releases then redeem the code for endwalker, do i still get the earring? or does the code expire? (steam)
You have to register the code before the 7th, or it’s not a preorder
ooh aight, thankyou
how do i change my default chat?
Click the chat bubble and select a chat type
Note that shout won’t stay as a persistent option, you need to preface all shout chat with /sh
for level 70s in general are Elemental gloves +1 better than augmented scavean/omega?
No
Lol not even the +2 gloves are better
Do zadnor boxes have a mount in the pool?
Litto zebra dino
Raptor
Hmm okay, well I'll be getting a ton of bsf boxes when I wrap up the duels for lyon and sart
It’s a tossup, depends on the job and the stats on the two items
Looking at the stats, probably a bit better than the two, but you won’t get much use out of it as a non-BLU.
is there a way to change the class here?
nope
In the benchmark no
Since everything is predetermined
they don't have the animations for Warrior in it for example

Nope it's to show off the class for the expansion
that sucks because the viera slouch is so bad in some gear
They can wear some other gear
can you move your chatbar at all?
Drag the general tab
ty
Is there a site or something where I could view different weapons and armor so that I might figure out what to do to get them for glamours?
eorzea collection
Thank you
I'm level 55
When is the main story starting?
And I dont mean that sensless crystal thing
these are the main story
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's not
There's a lot of setup in ARR
Crystal tower is plot importsnt
Welcome to world building
And all the shit you're skipping is also plot important
if it isn't plot important it's not the MSQ
*it's not required
crystal tower is very plot important trust
This is the main story
pay attention to the characters atleast
So I killed those imperial re***, I cant find better words to describe them, I got that nice cutscene with the red crystal of light (Much cooler), what is next?
It's currently building up to stuff
literally what you're doing
Or imperial bastards if you must
If you're implying the word I think you're implying
They do
they are 
this reads like bait anyway, the answer has been said - it is story, like it or not
Sigh
if you're inclined to skip it all then this may not be the best game for you
But did I finished at least the main story, the one pre expansion?
a. not the.
It's a linear sequence you can't just cherry pick
There's no pre-expansion story you can do
So I'm in the stormblood or whatever the expansion is named?
No
All important to the story
Nope lol
you are still in basegame
You're still in ARR
You're still in a realm reborn
Not even Heavensward
I have to suffer more then 😦
Yes
LOL
well you don't have to play FFXIV if you don't want to
I wont make it until the expansion hits 😦
there's a reason it's called the filter
the point isn't to rush to the end game
But I want to, really
That's your choice
if you don't like story based games then it might not be for you
There's no point in rushing anyway
Content isn't going anywhere
Tbh post-ARR is a pain in the arse. It gets better near the end but otherwise it was a snooze for me too
Yes, I dont rush, but I feel like the delivery guy
skipping through to endgame doesn't really achieve anything
Go to x, go to y......
If you're skipping everything we can't help you
Yep
You are the delivery guy, that's not gonna change
Don't focus on objectives
Warrior of Light more like Errandboy/girl of Light
Like I only did the main story and a few blue exclamation mark quests as well, it's just not all that interesting, the main story so far and I tried to follow
If you boil it down to that, all games are just you being a delivery guy, you just sometimes have to fight between deliveries
For what it's worth you show more initiative in the cutscenes in the expansion quests
But that's a result of the character and world building in the patch quests
So when do I enter the main story of the expansions? At what level?
That's why my main glam is postmiqo'te
whenever you finish the ARR patch quests
Not tied to level
level =/= content access
Which are lvl 50 quests
Your level means NOTHING, what matters is Main Story Progress
Ok, so now I'm doing some quests that give me little xp and some blue gear
Ah
I understood
That's post arr
So I have to do the main story no mater what
That's 80 quest total + hard mode primals and crystal tower
And while you're in patch content, which you are now your exp gains will be shit, because this was all level cap content
It's mandatory yes
eyup
It didn't give exp in the first place
Got it
You are right now in what's called the Seven Astral Era, it's the collection of post ARR patch quests which leads up to Heavensward
I didnt wanted to skip the story
It wouldn't be worth it at this point
Until I did it
It's obscenely long even though they cut out like 12 quests
:)))
I wouldn't recommend viewing this game like a checklist as is other MMORPGs because this game is still a mainline FF game first and foremost
Post arr ending catches everyone
I just want to heal in raids/dungeons...
Post-ARR is what I call the filter, you either break or break through and reach HW
you're still going to have to do the current expansion story regardless so might as well settle in and enjoy the ride
You've paid for it already anyways
Yes, but I wish to be in the relevant content, not in the 1 century ago era 🙂
What is roulette?
Forces people into old content for stuff
you queue for all content within that catagory in exchange for bonus rewards + first time bonus if there's a new player
yes and you will have to get through a linear story to get to the point where it's current content
Scaled to your level as well
that's how it is
Unlike some other MMOs, new content is additive not subtractive
Content does not get less relevant by time
There isn't as much as people say that currently exists at the endgame. personally I had more fun leveling alternate jobs and doing old content for their collectibles
Or at least, most of it doesn't
by focusing only on the max level content you've missed like, 80% of the actual game
Being an MMORPG doesn't change the fact this is still a final fantasy game
A mainline one at that
A mainline final fantasy better than its previous 3 entries, but that's just my opinion
Being at endgame content also doesn't mean shit cause you don't actually miss anything for being there earlier other than getting your stuff earlier
Unlocks stuff
ignorable if you feel like it
those unlock content
!faq questicons
What do all these quest icons mean?
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
Usually important, but you can ignore the ones which unlock extreme trials, classes and coils of bahamut for now
in Heavensward and onward, it's worth at least glancing at them because some will have rewards you will require in order to fly in the zones
not for ARR though.
I had this extremely annoying blue quest, with a dude that was doing poses and some cat lady and it kept coming back over and over
lol
Ah yes, hildibrand
I abandoned it after the 3rd quest in line or so
It's a comedy quest line
OMG
Hildebrand is 90% cutscenes and shenanigans
Was that supposed to be fun 😮
it also has trials locked behind it
Yes
three of them in fact
Yes 
Like a Saturday cartoon
Yes, but that's not my kind of comedy
Like Tom and jerey
Or three stooges
Not saying its for everyone, but that's what it is
I already deeply dislike the small mouse like, gimp-ish little ppl
Actually, the naked gun movies would be a closer equivalent
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And not so found of the beast like ppl as well, not into waifu and the half naked elf chicks, I wanted more of a wow experience where I go, do some shit in 3 hours and then start dungeoning 😄
To be honest
This ain't wow
then you won't find it
It's never been wow
Will the armoury bonus for 70-80 be raised to 100% as soon as EW launches ?
It's never gonna be wow
Yes
Damn
Yes
Yes
Thanks
If you want something like wow, you are 100% in the wrong place
Well, it does have skills to press, a tank/dps/healer concept...
well, unless you want a detox.
This is a final fantasy game that happens to be an mmo
that's not original to any mmorpg
Not much to choose from nowadays
Bruh, wow didn't invent that shit.
That’s just normal party comps
wow players are gravitating to FFXIV because it doesn't have the glaring issues WoW currently does, and is more respectful of its playerbase.
not because it's the same game but better
Probably, they just so happen to implement it in the best way, at least they did, 6 years ago
If you want to immediately start doing big quests I'd recommend Guild Wars 2 or ESO
This is an MMORPG that's also a mainline final fantasy game
Trinity systems have been in rpgs for decades, long before the Internet even existed
man, can we not just post hot takes in #questions-and-help like we have done for the past 20 minutes
Expecting it to be anything else you'll be disappointed
Gw2 is done, full ascended gear, all the living worlds the works
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Your point?

I think their point is they reached end game in GW2
ESO has no combat system, like seriously, I love the voice acting the meaningful quests and overall game design, but seriously, pressing 12345 swap 12345 with light attack weaving in between... That sh** is depressing
Something I myself felt in several MMOs, except FFXIV
Thank you for the tips, anyway!
Hey all, question regarding the update in 6.0, are all exp that was mentioned in the letter, going to be slower, or is it just some kind of adjustment?
Just smaller numbers
All exp requirements for levelling are being reduced, all exp gain is being reduced
Adjusted so that the exp required per level is the same as the stat increase
Should be about the same overall timewise
however the time spent per level will be about the same
It's just a numbers squish
and a slight increase due to the removal of the belt slot
Since they're using an algorithm to automate the squish
And due to all the required calculations, any progress towards a level is being deleted during the maintenance
Say you were level 71 with 1 million exp toward 72, you're going to be 71 with 0 exp toward 72 after maintenance
best thing to buy with poetics if I am maxxed and am not leveling an alt job at the moment?
!faq poetics
Level 70 gear for reaper and sage
thanks
ew
I have no desire to play either class
I('ll check the FAQ out, thanks
Thanks guys!
Best way for Raw emotions imo? Id rather not run Delubrum 8 times if jt can be helped.
Speedrun DR... OR hells lid
Blue mage or regular classes?
When given a choice, blue mage is almost always better than any other job at an equivalent level
*DPS job
I agree, though I liked 12
For dungeons or blue mage farming you don't need a tank
Inventory
Unequippale
Unbuyable
Undroppable
Desynth able and sellable
They literally just become non-stat sticks
I'm 90% sure they're removing them from drop tables too
they are
The belt link has all the details
The only thing you really need to worry about is extracting materia from spiritbonding
Anyone know what the circled furniture items are?
I'm pretty sure it renews before expiration
And each renewal is a purchase of 30 days of game time
So cancelling your sub doesn't remove that game time
Since its already been purchased
I believe it's a bookshelf turned around and hovered
@robust sluice ^
Both of them?
maybe? I know there's a specific bookshelf housing people like a lot for the smooth wood look
Thanks ❤️
Is there a list of 6.0 dancer actions and changes?
Gamerescape has all the media tour tooltips
/r/ffxiv's hands-on impressions of Endwalker. This video is based on play of an in-development build of FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker, and content in the final version is subject to change. Thank you to Square Enix for providing us early access to Endwalker.

Copyedited & Video Editing: ...
All currently available information is from an earlier build and is subject to change
Just warning you in advance
Potencies are the most likely thing to change
Is there a way to make the textbox bigger on cutscenes
Oh I don't pay attention to potencies just what the new effects are
Is it possible to just copy over a Windows install to another PC?
yes
Those can still change too, but that's admittedly less likely
but the FFXIV launcher may throw a fit and make you reinstall it
If you're looking to copy files over
Is Bozjan the way to level alt DPS jobs now?
!faq xivlauncher
Wait
I can't even download the client if I don't have active subscription?
I just wanna download the client first so once I buy subscription I can start playing immediately
Does that 3rd party launcher allow me to download the client regardless of subscription situation?
For what it's worth XIVLauncher uses the torrenting approach when it comes to files so it'll probably be faster
my internet connection tops out at about 1.5MBps so
Hmmm can I log in using a free trial account to download the game?
then switch to my real account to actually play?
Assuming you have shadowbringers, no, you'll still need to download the expansions afterward
So I have the Relic Atma weapon now, but I lost the previous Zenith version
Is there a way to get it back for a glamour?
After a certain step you unlock replicas
!iglam gae bold zenith
But I can start the client download, right?
Ah yes the shitty green stick is nigh
yes
Hmmmm
Can I download the steam version to get the client data, and move them over to a retail installation later?
Both use the same launcher just steam has the steam flag enabled
Rebuy the base relic from the calamity salvager and then upgrade it to Zenith
I heard you can buy replicas
Do you need to 100% complete all the steps in order to do so first?
For the Zodiac weapon, yes.
The rest of the relic series only need you to do a couple steps to start buying replicas
ah 😦
that’s so .. Zodiac
Thanks tho!
Is scholar a bad job to play?
No.
!faq meta
If you want to play it play it
Does the starter edition also restrict making a party like the free trial does?
Nope
Starter edition has no restrictions at all
Besides not owning Stormblood/Shadowbringers.
Ayyy les go, thank ya, me and a friends got it but we’ve been confused on that front
Free trial is locked out of social stuff like parties because of potential bot abuse,spam, trolling etc
There's always gonna be that type of shit, but a price tag makes it less accessible
Playing the free trial, and almost at the end of realm reborn, should I wait till the end of heavensward to buy the complete game? And are there any chance of a steam promotion for ffxiv during christmas ?
Severely doubt that as the new expansion launch in...
174.5 hours
Will put the game in high demand over the Christmas period
Is there a good way to level BLU solo that doesn't take forever?
Get a mate, go to an area with lv70 mobs
aggro a mob and let them kill it afterward
He did say solo
That's the problem, I don't know anyone 
No FC?
And the answer to that is, kill overworld mobs 2-3 levels above you
Blu gets 10x exp from overworld mobs
I recommend killing the same level as you if you have the Missile spell
That’ll speed up kills massively
Any noteworthy spells you got?
I pretty much just have drill cannons as far as damage doing spells goes

do preorder earrings work in bjoza?
Yeah I flat out couldn't even get close to beating Siegfried
so i need to get those bj earrings then
hey sorry new to this game ^^ , is it possible to be in more than one FC?
nope (at least, I don't think so)
No
:l ok thanks the current one im in is dead but has one or two nice people in it
Just bite the bullet and find another one, wish those dudes well but say its too quiet or something
Nothing stopping you from stringing them along for a new and improved FC
with blackjack
and hookers
Question. My friend is trying to transfer to Jenova. I see it on my list, character creation is available on server list, and other Aether servers are on there. It seems like just that one is missing. Any ideas?
He did delete the 1 character. Maybe there is lag time?
Was that deleted character on jenova?
Cause the backend probably hasn't updated yet, it's abit slow on that
Any decent Bozja guides for leveling alts from 71-80?
Or decent leveling guides in general for alts?
Or at least pull magitek into skirmishes
Participate in content to receive exp instead of tomes

Anyone familiar with the market board? I got a few questions about how the tax works
i asked about that some time ago and was told “doesn’t matter”
Both parties are taxes regardless now and the tax is now more or less the same across all markets
Is there a picture data center for all the dancer weapons?
no gil making guide emphasizes that aspect either
Gamerscape, look em up
If you trade a lot, it definitely matters
it's 50k per 1m you trade
50k is indeed .. doesn’t matter …
Yeah depends on how much you sell on MB
For me, I've lost 1.5m to taxes so far, that's pretty huge
but you made 28.5m then?
or sth
so that 1.5m doesn’t matter compared to how much you made still …
You can't really game the system anyways unless you want to take your chances on party finder
Anyone have a shopping list of how many items and which items needed to make all ARR/HW relics in one go
!faq anima
!faq zodiac
in there ^
thanks!
You can't avoid taxes
The irs is built into the mb
It's too unpredictable to bother trying to optimizer in the first place
And finally there's pretty much never a retainer location without taxes, unless there's a massive inbalance
Like the great wow refugee flood of 2021
But that's already settled anyways
is the character creation in the benchmark final or is it still subject to change? I noticed the female viera from live servers have the same skin color palette as the male viera in the benchmark, but they apply differently. like it's just.. duller and weird on the male for the same shade
Subject to change iirc
But enough that you can hammer out most of the details in advance
That's not really the point, I flip items so a 5% margin increase is actually really really good. If I'm making 5% on a flip minus taxes, it straight doubles my profits which is nuts. But yeah, not everyone thinks that way.
okay that's good ty, it's really just the skin color i'm picky with lol
they're either too white or too dark or too yellow or too blue
You're complaining about something built into the game and it's one of the few gil sinks the gil has
there is literally nothing else to spend gil on so like make your point please
Unless you try selling shit via pf and trades you're not gonna avoid the taxes consistently and at that point you're losing more gil via wasted time
ye but that is if you can avoid tax completely. The original question was how tax works (or sth). I gave the probably bad answer but the other 2 mods said it better …
I ain't a mod lol
well, i call all colourful people mods :3
I just used my nitro to boost the server, but I'm gonna lose my pink soon cuz I cancelled that
you’ll stay a mod in my heart
I'm not complaining about it, I'm just stating why it's good for me to switch to a 0% tax rate from 5%. That's all.
You can't
At least not consistently
And probably not at all, no location on twin has a 0% tax rate
Yeap, if I move to Crys I go from 5% sell tax to 0%. No worries. It does seem people are getting tired of this topic though so I'll leave it
The new city in Endwalker will probably have it for about an hour or two but it'll bounce back
Tax rates refresh every few hours
Might be 24, I don't care enough to check
Not consistently no, but for now Crys on my DC is actually 0%
A) you mean world
It refreshes on 27th, so 2 days
B) good for you, use it while you can cuz it's not gonna last
True, in fact, the more people don't care about it, the better it is for me since it'll stay low

where to claim Bozjan Earring
Achievement window
ah ok thanks!
Is there any significant difference in playing on ps4 or ps5? Wondering if i should even buy a ps5 just to play
is it still possible for me to get hellfire armor of striking coffer?
no, but it's the 240 set you can buy with poetics
where do I buy it?
The story gives you one for free post heavensward
yeah Ik i picked one long ago
Else poetics in idyllshire or ishgard sundry splendors
ok thank you
Yes
Thanks
fastest way to farm raw emotions for last relic weapon step? (other than me crying from the pain of having to farm this)
Speedrun DR or hells lid
i used a fantasia potion but i cant change my characters appearance, took my equipments off as well. Does it just take a while?
log out i believe
I havent used a fantasia yet
but I think it's supposed to log you out?
i logged out and logged back in, didnt get the option to
Pop the fanta, unequip everything
dont have the edit option
Everything has to be removed except weapon
did that as well, my character's naked af rn with a book on the hip lol
did you remove your accessories
else it sounds like you didn't actually use the fanta
iirc when I fanta'd, I went into an inn and did the full undress
Then the option appeared on the right-click menu after logging out
you don't need to go anywhere specific for a fanta.
Not sure if the location matters
but iirc the option remains open until you re-enter the character editor, so it's not wholly wasted
yeah hopefully, imma just give it some time and hope i get the option soon
Just to confirm, you're right-clicking your char at this screen, correct?
yup

i do have connection as "Poor"
Then aside from the fanta not being used yet, I guess try again later
yeah hopefully it works that way, i appreciate you all for helping tho :D
How many ARR zeta relic wepaons are there?
ah as in make a new character, save it then upload it onto my current character?
As many classes as there was in ARR
one for every class id assume
And how many is that
Why I am asking
eeyup, enter the new char creator, customize and save the appearance
10 ARR jobs
Thank you
and thats what i shall do, much appreciated :D
i usually recommend, starting a new char with your new appearance first, to make sure you are really happy with it
some things look different, in-game vs the char creator
i especially like to see their expressions/emotes and its caused me to change my mind on using a fantasia before
also remember you can change scenery and rotate the character in the creator, left click and drag mouse, rotates the char, right click and drag rotates the camera

How hard is UCOB Ultimate these days, if you are brand new to Ultimates (but not EX/Savage)?
Mechanical wise, I mean
It will still can spiral into a wipe if you die at the wrong placr
you're still resetting to the beginning every wipe
That hasn't changed
The only thing that got easier is the DPS check
Do mechanics or wipe
So I can assume an average of 100 hours or so to clear UCOB?
That seems to be the common number I see
In an average group
Depends on your team competency and who's already completed it but yes
thankfully it's mostly a mechanic check instead of a puzzle check since people know how the gotcha mechanic works
One more question, in Ultimate fights, are skill cooldowns persistent between bosses or do they reset?
persistant
I assume the first
its one long fight
Fair
when is allagon tombstones unlocked? I turned level 50 but I don't see how much i have in the currency popup
beat 2.0 msq
yeah i did my level 50 job quest to get my dragoon gear
but im still lacking in ilvl sadly
probably the belt is the reason
ye then grab some accs from the shops
accs? sorry im still kinda a newbie
accessories
oooh, gotcha
If I normally play on PC, is there any way to play on a Mac with my same account/login?
Am I really at 1280x720 when I'm on Borderless Windowed or is it just an option for Windowed? My desktop is set to 1920x1080
Borderless is Fullscreen
just without exclusive Fullscreen
