3 days for standard servers, 90 days for preferred (of which there are currently none)
Wait so, if ur origin server is preferred & you go to a standard server, it would be on a 3 day cool down?
no
er
so if you start on a preferred server, you'd have a 90day cd
if you, after those 90 days, moved to a standard it would be a 3 day cd
Why do some people in game have a weird purple flower in their name
means they are from another world
those are just used to indicate they're not from your home world
What does it look like?
in chat, when people talk and they're not from your home world, it'll show it

how i go there
Talk to the boat man
ferry skipper is the boat man
Ferries are boats
you have to complete the unlock quest first before you can go the housing district from there
it's a blue quest in the central shroud i believe
Go to any ward
you do not have to complete the housing quest for the ARR zone housing districts
you right I am dumb
It is strictly for unlocking it as a teleport on the main aetheryte
but either way, select "go to a specific ward" (any ward works) to complete the quest
Does anyone know a good server with ff14 related emotes? This server has a good amount but I kinda want some more
guildhest is like doind dungeons with party?
No
guildhests are supposed to be training instances
but they really don't teach you anything cause you can just nuke the bosses
req party right?
ye
should i do all levequests\
for exp
no
Combat leves suck
only reason to do combat leves is if you really care about 100%ing the game
which I highly doubt anyone has done that isn't a complete closet/basement abomination
Full 100% is literally impossible
They're not the worst idea to get over the hump to unlock your first dungeon
For Low level job
potd
Potd zzzzz after while
Also you need to do them for arr relics, which admittedly sucks
yes, but it's the best way to hit 15 on tanks/healers cause hunting log is slow due to lower dps output
Chocobro is free dps/heals
But tbf here I'm just being pedantic. Combat leves fucking suck.
So rn im at 75 and im facing a huge problem
Controller hotbar doesnt have enough slots even with wxshb (32 buttons total)
Seems like i need 40
No you don’t
are you using your other hotbars
What class are you playing?
What class are you
Gnb
remove lightning shot for one
You can press rb to tab to other hotbars
as a DRG, (level 74) should i ALWAYS end my combos with both wheeling thrust + fang and claw, or only when i need gauge?
always
Rb? Like, r1+ any button?
kk
You have 2 combos, single target starting on wheeling path, and aoe
jumps are weaved
yea
Yes you have 8 cross bars you can use
up to 8
That's kinda not good for me because i cant memorize their cd duration
when I used controller I used xhb 1 and 2 via the main bar and xhb3 was on wxhb
You basically just alternate between your dot/buff combo and your high damage combo on drg.
you can enable the regular desktop hotbars and use them as a CD display
So I'm playing with free trial ATM and I'm on my relic weapon quest. It says I need a "Materia Enhanced Longarm's Composite Bow" from what I'm reading the only way for free player to get this item is to get crafting up? How long would that take?
HUD layout > right click normal hotbar so theyre no longer purple
Drag and drop CDs as needed
Completing your relic, in general on free trial, is a tremendous time and effort sink
However long it takes you to level the relevant crafters because you need woodworker and weaver iirc
For something that is literally just a glam
that and grinding out the materia which will take at least an hour, but more than that on average
You need multiple crafters at 50 and with a bit of gear to complete an arr relic
Is there a Japanese language localization for KupoBot?
And money, you need money
And the trial limit is...oh 300k, looks like you’re broke now
Plus the desynth stuff yeah?
Oof. Do I need it to progress my class quests?
nope
So not 500, but >400
it's optional content
The relic quests are all optional end game grind content
you can just keep doing the job quests and pretend relics don't exist
You should 110% skip them on free trial
Unless you're insane, or want to become as such
Wouldn't recommend doing ARR relics in the slightest
or maybe if you're doing the HW one
They're not awful as a subscriber
BiS for FTs, a smoother grind (though a poetics sink)
Certainly not worth the effort, but they're not anywhere near as bad.
But still don’t do it at lvl 50, it’s not worth
There’s a translate feature for inserting text, but that’s it.
Hw relics are a bit more reasonable on FT.
With the bonus that as previously mentioned they're technically ft bis.
!help translate
Type !help command for more info on a command.
You can also type !help category for more info on a category.
Translate text!
Ex: !translate <source language> <resulting language> <text to translate>
Outputs a list of valid languages.
Btw regarding my question earlier
Ppl seem to use not more than 32 buttons. So for tanks, how do u minimize your buttons? Place/remove skills on hotbars based on the content you're doing?
Well there were others who instantly say "no, you dont need 40"
you can have all skills on 3 hotbars
How come my skills are around 38-40 
The only general action you need on your combat bars is Sprint
Everything else should be from actions and role actions
So no need LB?
situationally
you should have the lb on your hotbar somewhere
it doesn't need to be in the most easily accessible place, but you definitely should have it on there because there are a few places where it is required
I'm on keyboard so obviously it's not applicable.. but I click LB and stance rather than hotkeys
That includes LB, Sprint, and all the role actions
Wait I'll just take some time to list all of what i have
Is KupoBot an open source project?
likely stuff like teleport, mount, chocobo commands and maybe repair/desynth/dig/etc
oh that shouldn't be on your main bars put that stuff on like hotbar 8 which the game does by default
Put non combat stuff like that on other bars with other keybinds
yeah it's on my secondary hotbars but it's still keybound
- Keen edge
- No mercy
- Brutal shell
- Camouflage
- Demon slice
- Royal guard
- Lightning shot
- Danger zone
- Solid barrel
- Burst strike
- Nebula
12.demon slaughter - Aurora
- Superbolide
- Sonic break
- Rough divide
- Gnashing fang
- Savage claw
- Wicked talon
- Bow shock
- Heart of light
- Heart of stone
- Continuation
- Fated circle
- Bloodfest
- Blasting zone
- Jugular rip
- Abdomen tear
- Eye gouge
- Rampart
- Low blow
- Provoke
- Interject
- Reprisal
- Arm's length
- Shirk
- Sprint
- LB
You should not be removing any of your combat skills from your bar
There, 38. Only combat skills
gunbreaker just be like that

likely highest amount of buttons for a job currently
Somethings not right there
3 of them are getting collapsed into 1 in a week
Hang on
continuation removes 3 of those skills
I have all my GNB buttons bound on 3 bars
Danger zone is replaced by blasting zone
Jugular rip, abdomen tear, eye gouge and continuation are all one button
Continuation situationally changes itself to be each of the other three.
Ah apologies, i made a newbie mistake.
So yeah combination of skills that are automatic upgrade placements of others, and how continuation works
So 34 buttons. Wxshb offers 32 so i need 3rd crossbar afterall 
no worries, GNB has the most conditional buttons of all the jobs
Thanks for the corrections and hotbar guide
i would not take my hotbars as a guide 😩
!faq gnbhotbars
Keyboard and Mouse
Rin Karigani
-->Button Map
Torael Valdis
-->Buttons with little square icons are on a 12 button MMO Mouse
Shar
Sierra
Hardmeat
Bubs
Yurihaia
Valeubik
Nikroulah
If you want inspiration
Cartridge combo is being condensed into one button in EE yeah
Since the continuation combo is going from 4-2
my hotbars are mega ugly because my main concern with them is using similar actions for different jobs on similar keybinds, but the problem is not every job has similar actions, so there ends up a lot of 'empty spaces'
So subtract two buttons from the total
add one for double down and i think that's literally all gnb's getting for new buttons
And only one new keybind ability, so -1 buttons
By making it macro#99 and then setting R3 to be macro#99
hang on
That’s quite a common practice
you can set keybinds to macros directly?
Only macro slots 98 and 99 on controller
!faq sprint
why is that a thing? can i use it on keyboard?
i'm currently using a keybound macro that i had to put on a hotbar to keybind
sprint macro? or just macros for combat in general
only Sprint
Sprint macro is a thing because sqex has some weird decision making process sometimes
the 98 99 thing
Because Sprint doesn't have an input buffer
unlike literally every other action and ability
As far as I can tell it’s like, purely for this specific application
And it’s a controller thing

also yes
It's probably a concession made to the inherently limited controller space
meh i guess my /bgm macro will just have to stay in the corner
i'm using it when i'm fishing and watching a video
On mkb you can just bind it on a hotbar and then hide that hotbar
still have to have sounds for catches, but having the zone music while watching a video is annoying
i'm using all available hotbars, so cant hide one
Rip
the game will shutdown for a whole day ?
Yes
sweet
im trying to look through dps stats and i cant go further back than patch 5.5 anyone know why/
on fflogs
you can only go back to 5.4 for eden's promise because it wasn't out before then
if that's what you're looking at
On FFLogs? When looking at an encounter just select the drop down menu that says patch
does square upload all the files once the maint start so i can pre download it or i need to wait until its done
!faq fflogsdps
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
Is there a cap to how much you can be shielded for? Is it 100%? No limit?
No limit I don’t think
i dont think it's possible to get to 100% assuming same level characters
If a shield goes over 100% of your health then it’s displayed as a little pip
here's how to go back before 5.5 btw
Yeah, but like, past 100% shield
that is what they said
i wanna know too 👀
Lemme rephrase-
What happens when the shield exceeds 100% of your HP by itself?
it displays as a diamond off the end of your health bar
Ah ok

@wispy basalt usually a few hours into maint, shortly after patch notes are out
it doesn't matter because shields are just added on top of one another if they can be stacked
and they use the same visual indicator collectively
thanks bud
I said literally what happens in that scenario 👀
Ehh it was more a theoretical anyway
what about dps + buffs received + buffs you contributed lmao
Would not be a useful metric
Oooooh ok I'm rereading what you said and I think I misread, thanks!
that's just pumping buffs into one person to the detriment of the entire raid team
still feel there should be some way on your own bar and not just the party list one tho
like lyon said, not useful
there is with add-ons
illegal
You’ll see it if you take a level 80 SCH and go cast adlo on a level 1 player
what about when a dancer buffs themselves and dp's someone?
like devilment for themselves + dp
that's rDPS
but it said doesnt account for buffs?
They’ll get several yellow pips on them
!faq fflogsdps
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
Plus the damage from buffs you contributed
^
i really ilke the feature of the SimpleTweaks plugin to show shields directly on your health bar
rDPS is the contribution to the entire raid excluding your damage under buffs
rdps only factors in buffs you provided
minus buffs youve received like what?
so like dragoon left eye?
Yes
The extra damage you do under someone else's buffs are given to their rDPS score instead
but devilment counts and dance partner counts?
???
that's their rDPS
You’re overcomplicating it
no like as a dancer
it's so it shows how much damage you actually do in a vacuum
if i use devilment (siungle target buff) plus dp (buffs i gave to others)
it doesn't count dance partner if you're the one being partnered
thats rdps?
so let's say as a dancer, your buffs cause someone to deal 120 damage. without those buffs, they would deal 100
the 20 extra is added to YOUR rDPS
i meant from pov of dancer
if you use devilment and a person crits under devilment that rdps is attributed to you
i shouldve said that
rDPS shows all the damage that was contributed by your job and it’s buffs
because it's damage that you gave to your raid, ie your partner
yes so as a dancer, i get counted the damage i gave to someone from dp AND the damage i gave to myself from devilment
but NOT the buffs i receive from left eye
as an example
yes
If you put up a buff that gives your party member +10% dps for 10s
ok that makes sense
when you're at 100% (goes to the right of green when under 100%) - really cool plugin feature
Then the +10% damage they do during those 10s is added to your own rDPS
That damage was provided by your contributed buff
yes
the metric is still not perfect, but for evaluating job balance, it's quite good
ok this makes sense
just slightly flawed for individual rankings
rDPS is the best metric for comparing the average performance of different jobs
it seems the most practical i guess
it's the most practical for evaluating how good classes are relative to one another
aDPS is more useful for measuring your own contribution vs. others playing the same job
^
yeah adps on dancers is wild compared to rdps
but aDPS is highly variable based on party composition
does fflogs show adps?
yes
You select which to display
by default it's rDPS
pdps
on the front page of your character profile, you're ranked by rDPS
cause i dont see pdps on fflogs
pDPS is just the number that your ACT pulls from the game
ohh okay
Before FFLogs does any calculations or analysis on it
pDPS isn’t great for comparison because using it as a ranking method makes rankings highly susceptible to buff padding
I.e. everyone gives all their buffs to one player to pad their parse
Even if that’s at the detriment of the team overall
thank you
excuse me
you know how under edens promise there are like sub tabs?
the ideal ranking measurement would be some form of aDPS standardized based on party comp
Like AST giving every card to the SAM even if it’s a ranged buff card
My raid team of 3 dancers and 1 Samurai is perfectly reasonable
All partnered with the samurai, rotating devilment
LOL
still bad comp unless you guys are also running 2 AST to perma feed him lord of crowns
That goes without saying, obviously!
The final raid tier of shadowbringers
Afaik the acronyms stand for raid dps, actual dps, and personal dps
Or e9-12, in common parlance
Eden’s promise is the tier consisting of E9–E12 (S)
Ah right
If you're looking at what I think you're looking at, the different tabs are individual fights within the tier
so dancer is, ultimately, a good utility but worst~ish dps
yes
best phys ranged yes, best DPS no
Dancer is technically the best phys ranged DPS in terms of overall contribution right now afaik
seems like it yeah
from the stats ive been looking at, its trading places with brd and mch
now will you find parties that will take advantage of that? prolly not
And despite the fact ranged phys is generally weaker in general, every group is going to want to have at least one
So if your concern is finding raid groups due to this.. you don't really need to be concerned.
nono just a curiosity
i really really enjoy the class
ever since i picked it up til now
Is there a discord or some other group for people who want to start learning late game savage/difficult content that is welcoming to newbies?
id suggest looking for a softcore static or just entering practice group parties
some fcs have their own static as well so you can check those out 
will the 6.0 extremes have any loot lock?

Anyone know fastest way to get flawless alexandrite
that fastest way?
The only way.
Same for the other 3 materials needed for the Zodiac Weapon upgrade
No?
Are you on the step that wants materia on the weapon?
There’s two different alexandrites used in the relic
Regular ones, which you need 75 of and have 2 main methods of obtaining.
Quick ventures is the best way to level retainers at any level right?
And the flawless one which you only need one of per weapon
Ohhh
Yes
!faq zodiac
Buying the special treasure maps for poetics from Auriana is your best bet. They can be easily solo’d and give 5 alexandrite each
Thank you so much
is this something specific for the HW relic chain?
never heard of this before
i'm lazy to check bail me out: what time does EW launch pst
or just launch at all i can convert i'm just too lazy to dig it up
1am
Arr relic stuff
irrelevant for non-relic stuff?
Correct
can you finish a battle leve that says 'kill as many x in this time as you want' and not have it fail?
before the timer runs out
talking to the levemaster doesnt work
the only other option i see is abandoning the quest but that would probably fail it
Once you kill enough of each target you can do whatever you want
But you have to wait it out
No other way I think
is augmented exarchic gear the highest ilvl gear that I can get without weekly capped tomes
theoretically you can get 530 from current eden savage
but you wont be getting that without good gear already
gear from the third nier raid is also 520
oh i mean without going savage
I assume new poetic gear will be 530 then, if we even get that
so third nier raid drops ilvl 520 gear?
cryptlurker will be poetics gear
new poetic will be augmented cryptlurker which is 530
yes
in a week
very nice, thank you so much guys
What's the rule for racing chocobo breeding again? Same pedigree or 1 higher?
just got to level 50 on AST, and got the Minor Arcana ability... i see that using it doesnt fill up the arcana gauge, so I guess the idea is you spend 90 seconds setting up your gauge, then use divination and fill the other 30 sec in divination cooldown by one 'buffed' lady/lord card?
more or less
Does mogstation have a sale for black friday
I don't think so
So since EW early access is in about a week how exactly can you access it?
Zadnor has i525 gear
you can only receive a pedigree that is at best +1 of the lower parent.
but more important is the stat ranking.
Eden savage
now I see why they give you redraw
IL 530
but it's kinda super useless before level 50
weapon is 535
Oh, I'm aware but the higher pedigree tend to have better stats, plus i'm working towards the pedigree 9 achievement
At least the same pedigree. Higher-ranked breeding allowances have a chance for better star rating stats
I would start being more picky about stats when breeding at about idk pedigree 5 or 6
ye, but you won't win races cuz npcs will outclass you w/ higher stats.
So for my pedigree 6 racing bird would need a 6 covering and i'd get a 7 afterwards?
is there something that speeds up Divination later other than Sleeve Draw?
yes
okay
or you could get like a 9 covering and the cover choco's stats are likely to be better
you can also roll a 9 covering and hope you get better stats from that than from the 6
you are also not limited to buying 1 covering, you can buy en-masse & choose the best you got
no
going with my gut, using sleeve draw is probably best when you already have 2 arcanas in your gauge?
so you dont have to gamble redraw the third one much
interesting mechanic
also offtopic, and i see that they're throwing a card, but the AST melee animation looks so much like they're just bitchslapping somebody, it's hillarious
Does ilvl on retainer gear affect loot from quick ventures?
yes
Okay, ty 🙂
meeting the max breakpoint gives a better chance at rare loot from quick ventures
!faq retainerbp

Hello guys, trying to pre-order endwalker using paypal
After entering all necessary info and pressing "proceed to payment" I get redirected to this
Anyone had this problem?
is there enough balance on your paypal/is the card connected to it valid and has enough balance?
I don't even get to login to my paypal
i just discovered that your minions count as yourself for <mo> purposes but not mousing over your own character... any other weirdnesses like that with mouseover i should know about?
do you have a payment method attached already to that account? maybe it's trying to use that? (i've not used that site so i dunno)
also, final question about AST for today - it's only relevant for like a week more, but what is better for dungeons - noct or diurn?
diurnal
i don't believe i seen this before till now and what does this means ???
do you have clicking to target yourself turned off? I'd imagine that would be why
it's talking about your mogstation account
or rather, your service account in general that you use to manage account stuff
paying sub, buying online store stuff, etc
that service account
i have plenty of days left for the subs but im confuse
makes sense, but that minion interaction is still kinda weird
Just to confirm, xp gets reset to 0% with endwalker right?
yeah
If you're mid level you drop
I saw someone was asking in pf about a levekit blacksmith so I am not familiar w/ it
Only the listed things will be reset
Anyone know what blacksmith levekit is?
depends on what's cheap to make for you
Probably best to just search online and see if other people have their own levekits set up
I asked the person what he needs and doesnt tell me since its asking 1-80
got a question when this endwalker does go live and a new lvl 90 and is there away around say i made a dragoon and need to lvl it to 90 before i switch class to lvl it because i rather lvl my pally instead of the dragoon to 90 ???
what
Yeah I can't parse that at all sorry...
can you clarify what you're asking Rix?
bruh
rough translation:
theres no way around and its just leveling up in dungeons or do daily
If you want to level DRG without playing DRG you can do Frontline PvP
"since EW level cap is 90, and I want my DRG to be lv90 but wanna play PLD, how do I get DRG to 90 without playing DRG"
You can queue in as one job and then switch to the other job for the entirety of the match
the exp goes to whichever job you initially queued with
Frontlines PVP is your only option for leveling up a job without actually playing it
is there a source of info for levekit
i have not done pvp lol but what i was saying i made this with a dragoon and it is 80 and i have sub class that is 80 which is the pally so i wanted to lvl the pally and worry about the dragoon later
doesnt pvp give the same exp or different
Your two level 80 classes are equal
same as what 
what i meant sub class meaning switching too
probably means "class aside from my main" I guess
a "secondary service account" is like a second ffxiv account, not a character, so, when using the second service account, you would have to pay the sub seperately to your main service account.
Like I main AST but also level WHM on the side, dude would consider WHM their "sub-class"
Yeah but there's not a distinction between those in the game system
If you have two level 80 jobs right now
then come Endwalker you can level either one first
what lvl is your pally at
you meant each account is like 15$ monthly subs times 2 = to 30 a month ?
There is no good reason to use separate service accounts
i have too 80s a dragoon and a pally
both 80?
yeah, if you want to keep a different service account, but there are 0 reason to do so
im working on others but i been dragging since i was sick lol
If I may suggest
OK so what's your question regarding Endwalker?
Do EW story in DRG, but dungeons and such in PLD
as a not-dps class your queue times as PLD are not unbearable

i meant when endwalker goes live and there is a new lvl cap and that is why i was asking to lvl a pally which i like
uh
If I understand correctly
you're not being any clearer
You like playing PLD, but wanna level DRG too
you might have too wait till dec 3rd
What do you want to know about when Endwalker goes live
So you wanna level DRG without playing DRG
am I correct?
since playing PLD naturally levels it
im saying i want to lvl the pld before i want to lvl the dragoon
I am confused as you guys are
Wtf, no it doesn't
The only way to level drg without playing it, would probably be to turn in the msq xp quests on it?

i've been running around the aetheryte in limsa for 5 hours and my paladin is still level 53!
if i cant explain then dont worry about it
I was meaning going through the usual things like roulettes and MSQ as PLD just levels it
same as any other class really
it doesn't matter which job you started as
You can't level a combat job without playing it
ok thx
it matters in my heart, i will always be arcanist(smn) first
Just go unlock egi glams and you keep carby
question to those that do or did have ps4 and has a ps5 and is the game loading faster than the ps4 ??
it does
of course it will, ps4 still uses mechanical hard drives by default
thx you
off the topic could you put a ssd on the ps4 ?
sorry
Yes, performance isn't as good but yes
well i thx all of yall for helping me sort out things and thx again all
it will still be a massive upgrade for random access reads
my shitty SSD on PC is 25-200 times faster than my HDDs in random access tests, depending on the chunk size
.reason i ask because the mention of the ssd is faster on the ps5 and i was curious can be done for the ps4 because atm it is not easy to find ps5 w/o paying a huge price like i seen as high is 1500$ for it and i dont see a reason to spend maybe no more than 650$
any way sorry for the off topic enough of me mentioning it

Iirc starting gear is class exclusive.
But trust me, just get scaevan for both of them
your best bet for gear though is gearing up your lv70 scholar with tomestone gear and keeping that gear for sage
Can I load my UI config from one character to another?
manually setting each UI piece & chat colour is pain
or messing with the files
I'm fine w/ both
Yes
I farmed aether oil for animas via arch magus while farming light for zodiacs
Also got a shit ton of poetics while I was at it
Yeah the poetics should come in too
Just queueing now for Crystal towers
Either people are working or asleep on my weekend 
Iirc ct is mog tome too
I will just wait this out
Doing Anima for the Glmaour and also Resistance for the 535
7 days
This will be my first new expansion
Hopefully first day servers won't be as traumatic as Destiny is every season.
Are they gonna release improved raid food when the 6.01 drops or are we going to still be eating smoked chicken?
there will be better raid food as of 6.0 since that includes a new crafter tier as well
iirc
What type of content the expansion have usually at launch?
Im guessing we get extreme trials at launch right?
endgame content immediately on launch is just the extreme trials of the leveling trials
and the level 90 dungeons
How many extreme trials we get at launch usually?
2
if they keep the pattern going
one will give weapons, the other will give accessories
why map can't be stack ?
Treasure maps? They just can't. /shrug
you can stockpile maps by using your other "inventories", like Chocobo saddlebag and retainers
or having someone mail the maps to you and you grab them from there
you can also have a map open and in your inventory at the same time
i'm doing alexandrite, i really wish i can take all the map i need
If i chose to be a machinist at lvl30 and not bard. Can I get to lvl 80/90 without being a dancer? Or how does that work?
Yes? You don't need to play any job that you dont want to
except to unlock them
about 90 quests for patch story
Duratuon wise

You do not get to choose machinist at level 30 archer
Archer becomes bard
Probably depends on how much you skip cutscenes
Mch and dnc are entirely different
Is there a way too get antiquated aoidos
When you reach level 30 archer and have the quest to unlock bard, you must do so, and then later on you can unlock mch
don't you have to get to ishgard to get mch?
Yes.
then you get him at l 30
yes 2x
that's just job gear. do your job quests and you will be given it
Do your job quests
sadly I dont even know why I job boosted archer too bard since theres no way too get the chest from it
Oh what does "later" mean on wiki it says you can turn into a machinist at lvl 30 too
you can also buy the level 60 stuff at the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard for centurio seals
Ooooh
machinist is also independent from other classes
isnt calamity at grandia?
Any main city
you don’t turn into one, you just pick it up at 30
ok

And what about Dancer? Same?

any job works as long as you reach dancer’s starting level of 60
Does food buff apply in STQ areas?
Bozja and zadnor only benefit from Armoury bonus (and soon probably road to 80)
Bozjan Earring better than Menphina's for those areas though, right?
Does the housing storeroom get saved if I delete my FC room and make an apartment or do I lose all the stored items?
you need to empty out the storeroom to delete the FC room, IIRC
You do lose everything if you get kicked from the fc iirc
if you don't have to, then the items in there can be retrieved from the resident caretaker found in the different housing districts
Shit probably goes to caretaker to prevent malicious kicking deleting your shit
my levelled retainers currently have i400 gear. what's the cheapest way to bump their average up to i430?
Job gear from role quesrs
can i use swiftcast for my mount ?
And accessories from ANY level 80 dungeon
No
😦
is spamming at-level dungeons the best way to level as tank?
ty
Level cap dungeons also don't count
for any job, tbf
Always use 49/59/nice instead
what do you mean by level cap dungeons?
50/60/70
50, 60, 70
Dungeons that were level cap content when released
things like wanderer palace, ARF, st. mocianne's arboretum, temple of the fist, etc
oh, those don't give exp?
They do, it's just shit
alright, tyty
they do, but way lower than the (X-1) dungeon
Because they don't want you overlevelling during patch content
so when EW drops, for example
Msq exp takes a massive dive during patches as well for the same reason
||amaurot|| is going to be worse for levelling than ||mt. gulg||
yeah I noticed post ARR quests giving next to nothing compared to the main msq
im levelling dk rn cause my warrior is at 58 and only like 1/4 into HW
waiting on EW pre-release to get the other 2 dlc so im hard capped at 60 rn
and don't want to waste that HW quest exp
Don't forget to redeem the pre order code to get your earring
yeah it's amazing
Good sprout
looks quite nice as well
Ah thats great tbh


I admittedly like the aetheryte design more but it's before my time
Does anybody know how to check what region of the code you're getting when buying off of 3rd party sites like humble bundle?
If no one answers, no one knows
That said I bought a code from green man gaming for an eu friend and it worked, might be region free, idk
Deleted my old post and reposted it cause it was further up and people might not scroll up, so others might see the message and have an answer
Wasn't like trying to spam it asking for an answer, anyways, I read a post that says it defaults to EU, so I was wondering if anybody had experience purchasing a NA code
They should give you one that matches the region you're buying from no?
I'm not sure how HB works
Extract materia from your spirit bonded gear
Don't know if this is accurate anymore
I'm buying from Singapore, and my account is NA, so I'm worried they'll give me the EU code instead
Your account is NA or your character is?
Account is NA
Interesting choice
is it rng? I have some gatherers grasp I materia, can i meld em together maybe?
It defaults to NA for us
And buying directly from the store is an issue cause of the payment issues
Either it won't accept my cards or if I try to pay via PayPal, it'll just put me in a loop to payment cancelled before I even get to see the PayPal page
you have vpn to use ?

Will using any VPN work? Could give it a try
Dint know they do, will check it out
ya go w/ amazon if its a chopice, if not use a vpn and set your desdtination to canada or US and then rty buying it from the site
Nope, amazon doesn't have it
Yeah seems they only do timecards
I'll try a vpn once I get home, hopefully it doesn't give me an EU code, will have no way of finding out until I get the code itself since I already input the early access one
You already have an early access code?
Yes
When I preordered from the SE store, it gives u the early access code but doesn't charge u until recently
Ahhh, I see
can try tor browser, it has built in vpn and csn reset the destinatrion
brave too i think
Aight, will download tor
for TOR you need to open a file named torcc from install loc andadd new line ExitNodes {US}
if any issues just google it
and can watch netflix shows from other geo locs :p
Uh.. Just handed in my Wonderous Tails and got 0 xp for it..? :(
What lvl were u when u handed it in
78
Was it the current book
Hmm odd
Yeah :( Not sure what happened there
Did you have 9 seals
Probably didn't pick the reward for 9 seals when claiming
Welp
Oh wait that's possible?
Honestly maybe I didn't have 9 and thought I did, seems most likely
On Gift of The Archmagus,you are asked for Pearls yeah?
Will they keep coming as long as the quest is up? You have not turned it in?
In pursuit of Aether Oil.
no, they're key items so you can't stockpile them
Nope... Gotta do all 3, hand in, grab another quest
where is thegreat hunt ex from ? expansion wise.
Haii haii ! Quick question, is it possible to pay for gametime with steam currency ?
stormblood
ooo i dont have that one yet
You can use steam wallet if you bought the game via steam
wow no recruitment in PF, everyone out shopping ?
What are u trying to recruit for
The usual gear. Poetics and then dungeon gear
was gonna join in on any mount farms to help out, but none threre heh
Oh
like, what do you guys gear your other 80s with
Question, for raising Sworn to Bloodsworn in Stormblood, you dont need to do all other beast tribes in the same expansion, right?
And you can just get it normally doing said tribe's specific quests
I assume the best stuff is aug cryptlurker, but what's after that
i530 Edenmorn gear if you do Eden Savage raids, as well as SHB relic weapons that max out at i535
i525 Blades gear from Zadnor too
I don't think I can grind Zadnor gear on time..
I suppose it worked and gave me the NA version, and my mog station info is "The Americas" so hopefully this works out without any issue
What should I spend my blue scrip tokens on?
I just realize that it will be made irrelevant soon but I've yet to unlock the anima weapon quest
nice, yup looks good
NA mog station just shows up as "The Americas" right?
Noted
yes in my accnt info it has this :
Country/region of registration
United States
Your registered region
The Americas
👍
Hopefully they give the codes out on time so I don't lose access to EW after early access is over

Thanks 
what's the command to search for an item?
okie
it looks like the glamour item i got from a quest when bye-bye
good job lvl60 me 🚶♂️
Unique story rewards can be reclaimed at the calamity salvager
What item
That's just basic bitch crafting gear iirc

pain
not very into leveling crafters atm
also just found out its for dow and dom
lvl60 me was def dumb
Then just 20k or so.on market
you can just turn in the grand company delivery stuff once every day for crafters if you feel lazy
So i pre ordered endwalker + the items on the PSN and when i logged in, it game me this option. But whenever i press on the cirkel to select it, it doesnt select it. Anybody who had this problem and knows the solution?
might as well farm diadem for ez mb gil
yeah just turn em in
those with a star icon...i think they give a bonus to exp and seals
Just hit next
It's only one option that's already selected
But it says “Please select the Final Fantasy XIV product to be registered”
But i cant select it
And it's already selected
does this mean if I pre-order endwalker, the bonus earring code will still be redeemable till march? or does that only apply to the expansion's code.
is the Crystal Sand/Umbrite step the most expensive part of the HW relic questline?
Yes. It expires in March
Expansion codes themselves never expire
nice, thank you
depends on how you do it. Some methods can be expensive but others can be free even ..
I have seen the upcoming endwalker changes for the summoner job ...I am a free trial player still at ARR close to to HS will these changes also apply to us ?! Which means that I will cycle through real primal summons or I will still have my egi primals like pets?!
party is safer .. only solo if you queue time is somehow .. excruciatingly long
It will apply to everyone, including free trial^^
cause i dont think a solo is that fast, usually ..
yeah, everyone gets the changes
Egis will be the low level versions
The changes are universal all the way to lv1
any changes that apply to lvl 60 and below to FT accessible jobs will be felt by FTs as well
Arcanist cycles through the 3 carbuncles...low level smn gets the 3 egis....then they become the actual primals at 90
Job changes are changes to the raw game itself
So I wont have the elemental circle playstyle with the actual primals...I will still have my egis like pets fighting alongside!
is the best way to level alternate jobs potd?
ty!
So I will still have to cycle through the baby versions of the elementals!? Until I buy the game reaching lv 90?!
The primals are lv90
Egis are 30-90
The cycling basically doesn't change as you level
You just get different, babier versions
Wait do you just get all egis at 30 now
nah, i think you still have the carbies until you do the relevant story quest
solo takes too long to be worthwhile
ah yeah, just checked
!faq ewsmn
So I wont be able to stick with one of theme like I do now!...I am lv 45 and I have titan and Infrit
has their unlock levels
you prob will still have an egi of your choosing during downtime
not even glams?
Glamour probably
But it's just the carbuncle
It does nothing outside of Titan shield and Devotion
I'm just happy to have a usable nugget
Loool ....anyway I will have my carbuncle....
Didnt people mention that the carbuncles do nothing?
they still do aetherpact and that shield one
What's it now tho?
I think 20
Hmmm
It's probably fine if it stays a gcd
Think it's off global
Hmmmm
So anyway... summoner will be cool at level 90....and uncool before that...
But gameplay wise it's the same throughout
All the new shit still looks cool
Actual primals is just a bonus
Functionally they're barely different from the egis
Not that much...I am an old free trial player ...and gameplay wise it will change because you know... at level 50 at least we all spam ruin maybe a bio and a fenster as long as Infrit hits everything
With or without dlc job changes effect EVERYONE
This time for sure
8th time the charm right
But it does look good 👀
death will be extra harsh for new SMN if you die during bahamut/phoenix
since you lose out on those and the egis
and get stuck with a very sad rotation
True but it's always been tbh
Wait
you what
