not msq, another side questline
Use the Party Finder
If you're desperate ask someone to do it for you unsynched
So they can massacre the boss lol
Ramuh Ex is infamously difficult
No sane people que for extremes anyway
And chances you'll clear any is hilariously low
mentor roulettes get them and other new players basically
ive never understood it, i just though the join button was the only way to join something? xD
No
You can make your own parties then enter
Old extremes are done unsynced so lv80 can face roll
Are you on free trial?
No reason to sync them outside of "challenge"
The quest isn't important anyway so you can ignore it for awhile
im not on free trial no
Just continue MSQ tbh
You could build a party forcit and try to take it on
But it's very optional
Are some tanks more squishy or some dungeons harder on them in under-50 ARR? Sometimes I get dungeons where I (a WHM) can DPS and others I’m forced to spam Cure and nothing else (which is really boring).
im done with msq, just waiting on endwalker, but i just wanted to do this questline so i can unlock nutsacks, cuz it says i need to do this questline up, then i get to do that
then do it unsynced lol
Just blast it
why are you trying to do it synced 
You can solo all arr extremes easily
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
ohhh i see, sorry guys im pretty noob at these games xD then ill try that! ty^^
If you can find people to do it with you, the old Extremes are actually pretty fun, so I do recommend trying it if able
zero reason to do that if you're 80 and can unsync them.
that said pretty sure you don't have to do ramuh ex for nuts
can some1 post the clip about crafting? i wanna start leveling a crafter for the first time
and yeah i'm 95% sure you don't need to do ramuh ex to unlock nuts 
Oh yeah, Striking Tree, that one isn't fun
the only overlap iirc is one of the NPC that gives The Hunt for grid is the same that gives Odin quest, and to get Odin you need Ramuh EX
but you can get The Hunt without doing that
The Ramu Ext quest doesn't unlock anything
i had such a hard time trying to find the quest, but it all fell down to that questline, so i can unlock something to unlock something, it looks like im behind on stuff, isk xD ill just try and see if anything can let me unlock it, even if it doesnt lol
!faq hunts
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
yeah no, you don't need to do arr exes for hunts.
What do you need to unlock, we can tell you straight away what you need to do
It's literally all in the faq above
I'm doing a palace test run at the moment, and I cant seem to get it to work with lust. I tried messing around with the settings it isn't working. Is there a guide or something for this? I cant find anything on it online
im trying to find "nuts to you" quest 
can ya post the intro to crafters vid ?
No cause I don't have it
theres a bot command i think
!quest nuts to you
The Hume lout thinks you might be the right person for a questionable job.
Hume Lout
The Crystarium (X: 12.19 Y: 15.08)
Xylle
The Crystarium (X: 9.47 Y: 9.57)
Elite and Dangerous
Travelers of Norvrandt
Two Nuts Too Nutty
@eternal seal try also selecting the option "Display only the pet hotbar" above maybe? I remember these options were a bit of a mess to get to work
mine is 3rd choice, 1st choice and the box ticked for these
ik where it is ive looked everywhere for it, but i mightve missed something so idk, ill find it out, dw about me, but thank you for helping 
Ill try. Its a massive pain lol, having terrible luck with lusts to actually try it out. Thanks
if you have a mount with an action(bunch of beast tribe mounts or the magitek armor if you upgraded it for ex) you can test with that outside I think
then you've probably picked it up or unlocked it already
I'm a sprout, doubt i have anything like that
ive tried to look for it but its nowhere 
have you completed all the other quests in the faq above @lone drift
guys i crafted a lot of rings on accident, where can i sell them?
For the magitek armour its a 5 minute quest in mor dhona
The goldsmith quest? Just vendor em unfortunately, it's a common mistake
im gonna try to check now!
discard it?
no you can talk to the guild supplier and right click > sell the rings
get a little bit of your gil back
i need to do elite and dangerous, i remember looking for that too, but couldnt find it, so thats how i ended up thinking i need to do the extreme quest to get to that quest somehow
thanks brother
oki ill do that! ty!
what's the most useful hand job to have?
president

🧐
Serious answer: all of them, because crafts use materials produced by other crafters
how come I cant type /shout to enter shout chat instead having to right click someone else who shouted and do it that way or with the chat bubble next to the type area
i play RDM and am interested in hard content, does that affect it at all
Yes but no, because for repairs you only need a few, but to craft you'll still need most if not all crafters
ah ok, and to clarify i can do materia melding on any of them?
yes since you only need one crafter at the Gear's equip level
I need help I’m being stalked and harassed in game. I want to just potentially transfer all my Gil and any transferable items and move to a new data center until square Enix fixes this issue. Can we xfer Gil/items that are not soulbound, etc? I’m willing to buy skip potions and buy another subscription just to avoid this individual. They join every FC I’ve joined and make slight remarks about personal info about myself in sneaky ways just to piss me off. It’s only recently after several months my friends caught onto it and at first they being naive would gaslight me. But now they support me. I don’t want to take the cowards way out but at this point I have too much anxiety when they have actively joined my FC, mention irl stuff about me in sneaky ways; etc.
Because shout chat is not meant to be use constantly as a chat channel despite how it's otherwise used
You're required to type /shout manually
you try name cvhange ?
When you transfer almost everything is transfered as is on your character and retainers. If they're stalking you in game, record or write down specific quotes and include them in your support desk ticket
Unfortunately that doesn't work
It just annoys me because it seems if you’re not a superstar like asmongold square enix doesn’t take harassment or stalking seriously. No I cannot change name because lodestone
Also if you two end up in the same DC they can refresh your listing and see your status regardless
However if that happens the updated ToS should take care of that handily
The way they mention my real life info is so clever it’s not concrete that i feel I would get ignored by square enix
if you feel threatened that's grounds for an account termination
If it's repeated incidents then keep submitting tickets
We wouldn’t end up on the same DC, because their entire clan is on my current server. They won’t follow me because their mains are on that DC.
How much % increased is the potency for aspected dmg with Enochian and Astral Fire III
if I can make a chat on my old server and do a dc transfer I can keep most my Gil
since there's no preferred or congested servers uhhh you're subject to the normal transfer gil cap
I can’t anymore. They infiltrated every FC I’ve joined I’m relegated to playing independently for fear of the constant crap their doing
Does the FFT Delita chest piece for tanks come from Orbonne? I just did it but got the Agrias chest piece instead???
I have these exact settings. And i'm on the magitek armor w/ abilities and its not working. Wtf, could it be something else?
If you play on PC, you can use XIVLauncher plugins to blacklist and voidout their characters
How do I go back to the empty for +Eden raids?
The skyslipper to the south of the inn
what inn?
uhm... where is that xD
in amh araeng
What about them following me to every FC I join and subtely mentioning personal info? I think at this point they have checkmated me into quitting my character. It’s sad but I may have to retire that character until we can set lodestone to private, and I’ll have to make a new char, skip potion them, transfer all of my Gil to that character, and then transfer to a new data center.
report them.
It’s maddening to me. I wish bad things would happen to them
Mention that in your support ticket and bring up the fact this has happened repeatedly
The new Tos updates should get them punished
alternatively maybe, idk.... tell the fc leaders about it and they'll probably kick them and keep an eye out
I can’t stream like I want to I can’t do anything. I used to enjoy helping people all the time. Making them stuff
👏 make 👏 a 👏 support 👏 desk 👏 ticket 👏
@forest sage Oh, i think i see the issue now. My hotbar with key bind 1 is not hotbar 1. I downloaded one of those customized UIs. Damn
We literally cannot do anything more from here because of how shit ass the friend system in FFXIV is
What are second chance points?
is coil of bahamut turn 2 just trash
Either use plugins to ignore them fully, 100%, create your own FC that you have full control over, server transfer, or submit a support desk ticket reporting stalking via friends list
this isn't an official server so we really can't do shit here besides giving you advice and suggesting you to make support tickets mentioning the constant and continued stalking.
@snow surge duties that OTHER people havent completed
@eternal seal ah yeah I thought about that earlier but forgot to mention, have to make sure it's hotbar 1, sadly not customizable for the replacement thing
WT is a weekly checklist
Nodes are mini bosses with the ads the proper boss
alternatively just..... stop playing for a bit? they may very well forget about you.
Oh yeah, I picked up that WT and totally forgot about it
my retainers always bring the same stuff from field explorations, is that normal? am I supposed to do something different?
18h is mainly for EXP, if you want loot do hunting/mining/botany/fishing/quick ventures
I think they have a small range of things, but it's limited
it's largely stupid coins too
i saw a pf for turn 2 but there was only 1 blu and i wasnt sure if it was viable 
18h ventures is really just if you can't play for a long time, they're terrible in terms of xp or loot value
Damn that sucks. Can i put the keybind 1 on two seperate spots? Like pet and hotbar 3 having 1 keybound
How much % increased is the potency for aspected dmg with Enochian and Astral Fire III
been looking for 10 minutes but can't find the npc to get back to the empty
Enough to keep it constantly up, though the bigger bonus is the fact you have access to Fire 4 and Blizzard 4
Both of which are vital to your rotation as a black mage
AF is 80%
Wait the game will reset all your levels when EW Is out?
At 3 stacks
Only the EXP in between levels
Only if you're half way jn
Oh
what you could do is in the keybind, assign a key to Hotbar 1 Button 1, say Y or whatever, and then when you press Y it'll use the first action, useful for potd, but mind you later on you'll have quest where you play as another char and it replaces like 3-4buttons at once and that'll be clunky(but it's one time and clicking would be fine)
@warm snow hey can you post that crafter introduction video you posted few days ago? and maybe a leveling guide as well? how am I supposed to choose which crafter to level first ?
when do i use aetherpact on sch?
Just Google weskalber. You'll need to level all crafters at once to be realistically efficient about it
@worn crag nvm I misread the name, you use it for tank healing whenever, good when you have to move or tank will take a lot of dmg
whenever you feel like tank isn't gonna move & your other stuff is on cd.
It's a forced, stronger embrace on a target
pick a city state, pick up all the crafters in the area, level them all to 15, then level them in packs, keeping them all within 5 levels of each other roughly
Use it to cover autos and regen up after busters
It basically gives all Aetherflow skills an additional 400 potency of healing
oh is it like the demi bahamut or something
There really isn't a recommended order as you can level almost every crafter to 15 via vendor materials you can get from the crafter guild
No
I'll do that, thanks for the help
It tethers your fairy to the target
Its literally the team fortress 2 healing beam
And they get a stronger healer than embrace while they're tethered
That's it
Using other fairy skills will cancel the tether
It's best used when you need sustained single target healing
such as after a tank buster
for normal dungeon uses, it's basically just some big tank healing, you pop it on trash packs(pop whispering dawn first so you have that rolling too, every pack whispering dawn)
it is heal over time mind you, it's not like big instant healing
usually i just slap excog and damage
Yea I'm planning on getting my SAM to lvl 80 and after that I'll get all my other jobs to lvl 70
it's just good if the tank is taking continuous damage, or has very low hp and you don't want to waste a hard cast heal(and he's not in immediate risk of dying), and also good whenever you have to move to increase healing output on the tank
it's more or less a big regen
I’m asking the numbers.
Does anyone now the total % increase for astral fire 3 and Enochian combined for aspected spells?
!action enochian
Increases magic damage dealt by 15 %. Also allows the casting of Blizzard IV, Fire IV, Despair, and Umbral Soul. Additional Effect: Grants Polyglot if Enochian is maintained for 30s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Astral Fire or Umbral Ice. Effect is canceled if Astral Fire or Umbral Ice ends.
AF3 is 80%
any particular reason to keep my faerie gauge charged up?
Is it 95% or calculated differently?
it's free resources
probably multiplicative
What does that mean
listen the balance doesn't have it listed meaning it doesn't matter all too much
Also, does a midare hit higher than a fire4?
you mean each crafter should have at max difference 5 levels from each other? also why ? inventory spacing ?
To keep them all roughly on the same gear tier and to keep consistent access to unlocking higher levels in the crafting log
Yes, however. Your regular GCDs are lower potency to compensate.
why do catboy glams all look the same
It's basically only used for fey blessing and aetherpact, fey blessing is on a (2min?) cooldown tho so can't constantly use it. Aetherpact is better for single-target healing while fey is more for party heal
Thanks
How do I get more slots into my excharcic gear for material?
multiplicative means they also multiply each other, so 107% instead of 95%, but not sure, it might be somewhere in the Balance BLM guides, doesn't look like it's pinned or in the faq though
How do I meld?
if it's the 520 gear you cannot overmeld
Which profession?
any
but it's both expensive and utterly pointless at this point
just has to be at the same level as the gear
overmelding is RNG fiesta shit
So fisher?
crafter
that's not a crafter
just augment the exarchic and it'll be better than overmelding it
Crafter
not gatherer
Is botanist or cooking crafters?
or don't do either and wait for EW release to buy aug crypt with poetics
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
Does cooking or botanist count as crafters that can meld?
Can you level up botanist or cooking in roulettes?
botanist is a gatherer
which one crafts
Crafters are required for melding
Oh sorry I meant alchemist.
So cooking crafts or doesn’t?
Just hit em with your frying pan ez
you get no combat xp anyways
is it possible to solo turn 1 to leaqrn high voltqge ?
unsync yes
Yes but it's still rng
not if they want to learn the spell
oh right sting didn't work solo
still should be easily soloable with instincts and healer stance, not sure it's worth it since it's not that rare though
what spell is dropsy effect ?
Aqua breath
k ty
what is the difference between the normal and the augemented rathalos cloths?
dyeable I'd assume?
aah
if they look the same then it's just one can be dyed, can see from the little dot in the top right corner of the icon which indicates the current color
Correct augmented is dyable
i see now ,thanks
is defender's of Ishgard the start of the heavensward expansion?
no
oh thank god, I still have time to breathe
how do i start using ventures? like there are different types of retainers like battle or gatherer etc
Do the venture unlock quest, then use your venture coins
So quick question
What's better for xp
Leveling roulette (after the first time) or highest sungeon
God it
Never do leveling roulette more than once a day
Time to recruit a light party and just power grind on a day off
you can do it for GC seals if you're desperate and can do adventurer in need bonus but that's pretty crappy
pre expert GC deliveries
The bonus for AiN isn't significant enough to spam the roulette over doing your highest level leveling dungeon after the daily bonus
If it's your first class msq & a few daily roulettes will keep you lvled high enough, there's no need to grind out lvls above what's needed as you'll be locked by msq anyway
whats the name of that quest? also which location is for the blue quests that unlock melding/advanced melding etc
Nah leveling second classes
I've got a 53 DRG
Ah I see
And a 36 War
Everyone else is sub-30 except WHM
Trying to get everyone to job crystal
If you queue for your highest dungeon as Healer you'll basically get instant pops anyway
And better exp than doing random dungeons
Yea tank ain't got the best queues, still much better than Dps tho
Probably will be a bit better in EW tho as we'll have a new healer
Do skip potions only go to lvl 70 or lvl 80 once EW comes out?
80 on endwalker
I should probably order endealker for those earings...
It'll be swapped out to a lv 80 item after EW comes out, if you buy it now you'll get the lv 70 tho
is it better to use levequests allowances for GC seals or DoH lvling?
Dunno how much they give as it's irrelevant once you get expert turn in, but I would assume DoH lvling
DoH leveling
grand company hunting log covers you most of the way to sergeant second class which is the rank that unlocks expert deliveries. can suppliment with AiN bonus or gc turn ins if you have dol/doh unlocked
like i didn't go for the highest dungeon
after expert delivery is unlocked, can turn in old dungeon gear
no
Damn man
its not daily like its the only way i leveled
so i had to deal with sprout healers
and sprout dps who can't AOE
or totorak
And shit exp 
yes
does anyone have any tips for house hunting? Just learnt that i can buy houses
i almost gave up on leveling another class because of that
oh and
When i used to spam only leveling roulettes
i would be jumping for joy if i get same level dungeon
Does anyone know if there's a discord or something to organise delubrum reginae? trying to get my timeworn artifacts
like YES I CAN FINALLY USE BLOOD SPILLER AND QUIETUS
you don't need to organise delubrum reginae
u just jump in and pray that u don't get 20 glare bots
Party finder or just queue
Think there's a eureka/bozja discord too tho
isn't party finder only for 8 people groups though? I was just in one and it was full of people not reading the chat etc, pretty bad
No you can party finder alliance raids etc

There's usually discords that organizes speedruns, you'll have to look around for one for your DC
But you'll be expected to bring the appropriate actions and essences
^\
so pick your poison
20 glare bots with no essences
or super organized delubrum speed runners but they are expecting something out of you
I already got essences, although I don't know what's optimal. I was just hoping to be able to at least find people who will pay attention etc
mmmm
Discords will assign you your role
And what actions are required for your role
i think for DPS its martial artist?
and for healers if u want to dps its profane
somethign
Don't irregular unless yoy know what you're doing
^
You'll die to any aoe
this probably
oh yeah that
Bloodsucker is better
they use pure essences
if u wanna tank
But for DR it's pure essence
I've been taking healing actions to help people (and myself) , cure 4 is very nice. the defensive actions I have kinda suck
That's literally useless
the only roles that doesn't use them is aetherweaver for green dps
c4 only useful for bravery buff
Damage actions are the only good actions
well if it stops people dying..
It won't
what do people use then?
Cause doom
In speedruns, people don't generally die
when fishing, does patience just give you larger fish size-wise, or does it actually increase the chance of catching "big fish" (the ones with the strong !!! bite)?
well I switched my actions, still gonna have to do pug anyway because there's nothing on the party finder
oh, so there's no actual reason to use patience 2 when big fishing? unless I need to mooch?
Yup
nice, thank you!
do chocobo racing give cool items ?
just MGP stuff
and titles I guess
there's a lot of things to buy with MGP, but don't need to do racing specifically for them
With the miner class quests, do you have to actually mine the item or can you buy it off the market and turn it in?
depends on the wording iirc, some you can buy some you have to mine
The latter until you hit Stormblood class quests
Stormblood are both quest restricted and character bound
I'm assuming I have to mine then. It says mine 3 quality adamantite ore
You can buy those if it doesn’t say market prohibited
If you can buy it, it's fine to buy and turn in
Are Extreme trial unlocks gated behind all of MSQ or you must only complete the normal version?
My point is: When EW drops and we reach the new trial(s), do we have to complete ALL of EW MSQ to be able to unlock the extreme version or can we do it immediately after we complete the normal version of the trial?
all of EW MSQ
yes extreme trials are MSQ gated, they're endgame content
should I wait for endwalker to come before i level crafters? cause itll probably be easier with the removal of HQ
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
everything in endgame is gated by MSQ progress pretty much, raid, extreme and what have you
Ishgard isn't going away so that will speed you to 80 whenever
removal of HQ might be easier, or harder, it'll all depend on how they scale the new stuff, so it's a coin toss
but yeah can still ishgard to 80
and slow burn GC+beast tribe and so on
well on the other hand i have nothing else to do if i dont level crafters, unless there's something else i can do? for example i have one healer and tank to 80, one gatherer to 80 what else could I do ?
only thing that changes is maybe crafting your leve turns in is easier
What you want to?
clear content that might be relevant to the story if that's a thing you care about, level more classes, unlock bozjan southern front(and maybe zadnor too) to level classes if you haven't, do MGP grinding stuff, really up to you
If I use fantasia can I also change my name??
No
name change is a different thing
sadge**
it's a service like server transfer, costs a bunch of money iirc
So you can change your name?
On mogstation
Can you lower your level for guildleves like you can for fates? I'm overleveled so getting barely any xp
Yes, it's a seperate purchase off mogstation
i mean i might be missing an option, hence I asked here. for example ive "cleared" if you can call it clear with OP gear and echo on on all extremes
Additional services
no, take higher level ones, but leves as a whole are inefficent for combat jobs
That being said being synced down does not scale rewards up
you should be doing content near your level
I see, ty for answer👌
How long until Odin Respawn in Gredania? is days right?.
36 to 72hours respawn
Ah so is random in that time, awesome thanks.
you can kill it in all the servers on your DC though, so it helps if you go to a hunt discord for your DC and see if they track world FATEs, can see calls for it and world visit for kills
also you can get some of the rewards from the Odin trial, or stuff that looks like it don't know never really used Odin things
Yeah, learn that i can get the armor in the trial after i bought the helmet lol. Well guess i need to keep an eye to get Zantetsuken
There's also shin-zantetsuken
Which drops in ba, but can be sold on the market board
There's also 2 different versions
That one can only be used by gladiator/paladin btw
doesn't matter
Do both
you'll have to do both anyways so pick the one with the character you like better
You'll have to do both anyways
Ty for reply. So my old account have all expansion except EW, but I also bought a steam FFXIV. If I pre order for my new acc EW does it come with heavensward and storm blood and shadow ringer?
good
heavensward is a part of the base game now, but other than that yes
you will have access to stormblood and shadowbringers when endwalker comes out
Oh ok. But this is for a new account I am making thank you
what level start doing dungeons
msq level 16, when you unlock sastasha in the story
You will still need to buy starter tho
Unless you have it already on that account
Level 15 in the main story quests
EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
I already have. Actually if I can make new char on my current account and xfer some Gil and items that way and figure out how to do that. I don’t need a second account
Can email items to another character on same account, across DC?
You'll have to have a friend transfer it for you, or just use your old char?
you'll need a second person to hold onto your items, and no since that requires you to add the other char to a friend's list
does ff14 store usually have cyber monday sales / anything like that?
when it's not an expansion launch, sometimes*
sometimes but seeing as it coincides with EW release, probably not now
So many zantetsuken and so little time until Endwalker lol, thanks didnt know about the other ones.
ah, got it 😂 thanks
I can’t add my own characters to friends list?
No
no because it requires both characters to be online to send a friend request
You can't search for offline people
sigh
im 2 hours new into the game and im looking at this 30% exp bonus earring from endwalker pre purchase, i dont see any expiration date on it, is it really a permanent thing to have if i preorder it?
you can put an item for sale at a stupid price and buy that, but you'll lose the tax
Correct preorder items are permanent
Yes
just make sure you activate your preorder code :'D
damn okay, i was told to wait for abit to buy the expansions since it would be cheaper that way
I read I can make an FC and do xfer that way
It won't, unless you wait for a sale
yes via the guild bank but both chars will have to share the same home world
Ok so I will have to transfer to new DC first
well the waiting is like, if you buy EW, you get SB+ShB with it, but preordering does that too, you just don't get access until EW releases
that’s fine
buying EW now includes all previous expansion + base game?
Not base game
no, only expansions
not base game, that's always separate
!faq buy
Can I multi client to make FC?
i see, and thanks for the faq command <3
You'll need to buy the game thrice to do so
trials can't register a FC
I don’t care. I really don’t want anyone knowing my new char ever since this stalking thing. I will buy the game that’s what credit card is for
you can ask random people to sign, usually during prime time if you hop between cities it's not that hard
Again, why not just use your old character?
Assuming you have multiple service accounts yes, unless you're paying for a standard account in which case you just need two people and to have your friend invite two alts to fulfill the 4 person requirement
Stalking thing?
yes
well making a FC with your new char in it would be stalkable(not a real word I guess)
I’m going to kick chara out so before lodestone update
Won’t even register a minute worth of invites and leaves
still think it'd be faster/cheaper to do the marketboard way
Or actually don’t need 3 account
listen until FFXIV fixes it's shit ass friend management system it's the best we've got for now
Just need 2 to do this. Make another account put both online and send thru mail after friending
put stupid item up for say 500k on new char, old char world visit and buy item
though I'm fairly sure the support desk will likely do something
it probably helps privacy even more
Cheaper 2
Well I will report them I hope they get ban but like I said they dox me mention my friend dying constantly
I can’t bear to login that account anymore they say it obscurely so I can’t do anything
i mean, again, you can tell your fc leaders about it.
I’m tired of it I can’t login to@my char fuck them I hope something happens to them
stop acting so defeatist about it
FC leader wouldn't do anything?
That's what your stalker wants
^
i can’t do anything with the current social implementation of these feature
can't let them control you that's what they're trying to do
they already did?
Only if your a superstar like asmongold people actually help other people have asked for help@to no avail. If I make a new char I won’t have anxiety anymore
have you tried?
this is better for@my mental health inreally@hope karma goes back to@them
at this point imma be real
if they're causing you this much stress you may wanna just put the game down for a while and let shit cool off.
Hey anyone home
Man stfu I been dealing with this for a year already
you don’t understand the situation
Calm down dude
I only have so much empathy if you keep talking yourself down and you have said nothing about using the support desk you keep saying "uhhhhh I'm not significant enough"

The game brings me enjoyment if I can play with a new start I will chill out
I like crafting stuff for people and helping people so I am going to do that
This is how stalkers get away with their behavior by making their victims too afraid. either try and use the resources given or please, stop complaining.
And bruh is that a furry as ur profile smh
Is there a problem?
I’m not complaining. You’re gaslighting me. I asked for help and found a solution. Thank you all that help me out. You don’t understand stalkers want interaction. Even in police guidebooks they say minimize or don’t even interact with them.
just ask what you need help with
Go look at any stalker resource site in following their guidelines
So can anyone tell me what that is
Map coordinates
its coordinates
I circled
But thank you all since I was able to brain storm a solution
its your current coordinates
Can I move it to the side or something
its tied to the mini map
no
if you mean your quest log overlaps with it, just move the quest log or the minimap
you gotta move the whole element in HUD Layout
can't remove it though, maybe with a mod
Okay got it
it's pretty vital information so there's no reason to remove it
So with the treasure maps, is it that you can only get 1 map every 18 hours or 1 map in each separate spoil or area every 18 hours?
You can Gather one treasure map every 18 hours with a gatherer
However you can still obtain treasure maps from other sources
Like the marketboard, Wonderous Tails, the current mogtome event
Alright thanks!
Or just having them stockpiled
Is there a significant difference in community between US and EU datacenters? I'm playing on US bc that's what I chose when I started (by accident) and I'm considering a data center change, but the community is really nice and I'm afraid it won't be the same on EU
US is larger but there's still decently sized RP/raiding/casual scenes on the EU Data centers as far as I'm aware
culturally? not really honestly. eu from what i've seen is a bit more serious about endgame content but that's probably just anecdotal on my part
how is the bozja raid called and how do I unlock it ?
oh
you unlock them all by progressing the StQ story and ranking up
around when does e4s die on average these days, assuming 510+ gear? before uplift 2?
stq?
Save the Queen, which is the actual name for Bozja content
Castum is unlocked by reaching rank 10 in the Southern Front and queuing when it pops in the Critical Engagement finder, Delebrum is unlocked in the quest after that, and the Zadnor one is unlocked after reaching rank 25 in Zadnor and unlocking it via quest
alright thats something ill need to note
so i got this one
i should go set a PF, what should I write inside? like the name of the map? what else
Generally "map party" is enough, you can usually specify the type if you're planning on doing non-current maps like Stormblood ones
either specify owner needs or free for all
'map party' will typically assume zonureskin
Culturally, we use macros for pugging content, otherwise no real difference
I started on primal and moved to light
what should i spend yellow gathering scrips on if all my doh are geared
what does the party gain if i take everything then? xd
Doesn't hurt to stock up on hi cordials
Resplendent materials
Doh
"gathering"
Okay, yeah, which is it?
New player here. How long does it normally take for a raid party to form. Currently doing the It's Probably Pirates mission
Also new to MMOs
@spiral mango usually people don't just do 1 map
oh lol i have just one xD and one lvl 55
@trail stirrup that's not a raid and if you're a dps prob 15-20 mins
Depends on your role and time of day
DPS is anywhere in the range of 10-20 minutes, healers and tanks are on average 5-10 mins
What role is archer
DPS
dps
dps
fuck
green healer blue tank
If you have a friend who has a healing or tanking role, they can shorten your queue time.
yeah just beg them
healer qs aren't even 5 min
uhh i play in Light, and ive never waited 5 mins for healers
90% of the time the Q was instant
Until ew
can you still get the 30% xp bonus earings from pre order shadowbringers?
No
you can't preorder shadowbringers
BLM starts as a Thaumaturge and at lvl 30 he becomes a BLM ?
I mean endwalker
Increases EXP earned by 30% when level 80 and below. Attributes and item level vary according to class/job and current level when equipped.

derp
If you do the job quests
This for preordering endwalker
can you still get it
Yes
As long as you redeem the Early Access code before EA is over you should get the earring in your mail
EW isn’t out so preorders are still happening
fuck it
You can redeem the early access code until March 30
throws 40 bucks on steam
But you have to actually preorder to get it.
As I understand it ea codes are valid til march
That being said you can't redeem the EA code without Starter minimum
I've got all the way to shadowbringers
Then yeah, just preorder and redeem the pre order code
I just say before full release to be safe, I've gotten conflicting reports 
Fair enough
The early access code page specifically says March 30
gotcha
do we know exactly when the servers will have EW patching available ?
to download/install
so it says "Because password entry has failed multiple times, you will not be able to log in for several minutes."... how long is several minutes
Not exactly, but most FFXIV discords will probably annouce or someone will post when they can start patching. I don't actually recall when Shadowbringers was available to be downloaded....
Why the fuck do I need my old cards numbers to update my payment method for Endwalker????
I don't have it
Wtf
alright thank you
wtf thats weird
because scalefast sucks ass. You can try cancelling it and placing the preorder again since the preorder code is a free gift
Is there a site where I can check prices on other servers?
not reliably @dreamy oyster
!faq universalis
search FFXIV universalis on google
Alright I give it a go thanks
doesn't kupobot take prices from universalis
It's only updated as often as someone with the sniffer plugin checks listings though so it's only as up to date as people check
It's good for getting a good idea of prices at least
and yes cerb
could just use the market command
I'd be worried they'd ban me for that though since I've already got the pre-order gifts
¯_(ツ)_/¯
emphasis on free
Since you don't have the full standard game code you can still ask for a refund
or in this case, cancel the preorder
Hello guys, i've been trying to find the answer online but i'm really not sure, my brother bought and played the collector's edition of shadowbringer on PS4 and is now willing to play on PC, does he now have to buy the complete pc version to play ?
yes
well it kinda depends
You can play on PC with just starter
but you won't have access to expansion areas
he needs to rebuy the base game and expansions if he wants to play up to date
However you won't be able to access Stormblood and Shadowbringers zones on PC
access to jobs and collectors contents are still fine however
Alright so what's the best plan here, keep playing on PS4 until the complete endwalker's edition is launched ?
that's what I would do
Thanks a lot for the fast answers
When do I unlock rogue?
Completion of your starter class level 10 class quest and access to the Rogue's Guild in Limsa
also is there a way to change home worlds?
pay money
how much
18 usd i think
Welp if it gets me away from angry streamer fans
18 USD or for free from Congested to Preferred worlds or Any to New worlds
Is there a world with no popular streamers?
Is there a lf people on this server? We're trying titan extreme no echo lowest ilevel and someone left we need a refill. we're premade
Use party finder
Alright cool I'll go that one
aha ok
wait there's no streamers on light that I know of
why are you transferring from light
Idk someone called Zepla was there
oh
Also you can just not interact with them
then the only other EU DC is chaos
Yeah but they're a lot and cuz my game to lag
You can world visit to another world
It’s not like they’re the only people there
They said its her home world
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
I don't know about you but I don't want my game to lag and/or crash everytime a streamer decides to visit
use world visit or pay money to change worlds on light or chaos
There isn't really many on light
just go somewhere else besides a city then? 
It's mainly NA
there aren't many streamers on eu at all
My quest was in the city lol
And...
world visit
Streamers aren't really an issue on eu
It's just general population
I can only name 1 streamer on eu and that's Ethys
I'm pretty sure the whole server crashed for a sec when they started streaming but maybe thats just me
then put on busy and ignore them
sounds more like a matter of population and these days you can't avoid that
Lol who's that big on eu
were you in Limsa by any chance
Pretty sure it'd just you
Yeah my quest was there
Or just limsa things
yep just Limsa things
That's just normal limsa
limsa crashes on eu??
It's where everyone hangs out
Zepla
Oh her
I asked them whats up and they said Zepla is streaming
nah that's just your CPU suffering because FFXIV is super single core bound
Your frame rate =/= server status
Ontop of limsa being limsa
yeah that sounds like a hardware issue, not a streamer problem.
And getting SGE
Also everyone got mad when I asked if its her homeworld and asked how to change mine
How can I debit now since I just pre-ordered the game?
click the link in the email they sent you
The email & any links in them don't offer me the option to
it should be in red
Go to your order on the store
Can I pay for my pre-order in advance?
Yes! If you prefer to pay for your pre-order straight away, you can do so by entering your account, search under “my orders” and click on the “Debit Now” button.
Hi! if I vacate my apartment, can someone buy it right away or no?
OKay ty! ^^ I just got a house and want to give up my apartment for a friend
Personally I'd keep the apartment either for discounted teleports or just to use as furniture storage
I don't have much in the way of furniture tbh but that isn't a horrible idea
Made an account with the same email I used to order the game
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Which server is the best for raiding and pvp content ? I'm on NA
All
Doesn’t matter
God, this pre-order process sucks every single time

!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
world doesn't matter
data center statistics from 5.2 showed aether > primal > crystal for % of people who've cleared savage
but that's still a generalization
Oh I'm in aether adamantoise
I'm so confused, I just pre-ordered Endwalker & I got an email with a code to the pre-order bonus in my emails, but no email/mention of the actual game code or a way to debit now
How far do I need to go to complete this one?
any set of floors
for worlds' specifically, gilgamesh/leviathan stood out. but like that doesn't matter since you can raid with anyone on the same data center
Someone here knows if we will be able to download the 6.0 while the servers are under maintenance? Or we have to wait until the servers are up?
With cross world visit servers doesn't really matter
Former
Gotcha tyty
a specific time, no. but usually before maintenance finishes
the stats in question if anyone was interested
Same as every other patch you can download during maintenance
Oh, that's good to know, I'm just worried of not being able to play in Friday because my internet speed is not so high :c
you can usually keep a close eye on Twitter during the maint and you'll feel when the flood of people yelling download live come flooding out the gates
I started playing in may, so I wasn't around for the big patches before that D:
I'm pretty sure the quicklauncher also auto starts the download
I think 5.55 and 5.5 would have come out
5.55 came out just the week before I started playing
over a year old btw
Expacs always take 24 hours. Major patches only take a fraction as long most of the time
usually they're good about not delaying when the maint ends though, I assume they have the checks down to a science
I see ! Thank you all for the answers c:
yeah I mentioned it was 5.2. but I don't see a major reason for this to shift too much
if anything for promise it's probably up a bit across the board
This is so fucking frustrating, where the fuck is my game code I just pre-ordered, or even the option to just debit now
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Somewhere in the scalefast limbo
If it doesn't show up after a day contact the SE Store support
also they don't give the full keys yet
Hmm, when do they do the next auto debit?
Debit now is on purchases page
It'll be on the right
So DoH/DoL apply to The road to 70 buff?
I purchased it as a guest
yes
TRT buff is broken af
but it's not a must have by any means
How hard is it to lvl up dem DoH/DoL jobs?
not very
Much easier than DoW and DoM?
daily GC hand in guarantees like 3-4 levels per day early on
then 1-2 later on
assuming hq mat/item
it is absolutely braindead
between leves, Ishgard, collectibles, and GCs you can have them all leveled in like, a month casually
If my friend pre-orderds endwalker will he get all the other expansions now?
no
on the 7th
i believe
They'll gain access after 6.0 maint
Alright, thank you
Early access is essentially a limited time code for Endwalker, it's full access to Endwalker and everything included, which includes both previous expansions, until the full release
After which you'll need to have the full Endwalker code applied to your account to continue
Ah
Pre-ordering this game is a fucking nightmare
You're not the first!
If I want to maximize the use of the free trial, should I bother with the crafting classes? I've heard they're kind of a rip off but it's not like I'm on a time limit
it's fucking disgusting what it is
It's up to you, leveling crafters is made significantly easier with the marketboard
Especially leatherworker
mmm
And retainers generally for more space and stuff
Otherwise your inventory will be uh, a mess
They really aren't a rip off though???
Ah, might be interesting for getting a head start in case I want to use marketboard when I get the full game, is it something you want to powergrind in one go or is it something where you use your quests exp to level it?
either or
Power leveling and quest EXP are the same thing in the case of the crafters
what matters more is how you obtain the quest turn ins
Generally when people level crafters- yeah it's the same thing really
Spamming leves or some such
Sounds like I can just squeeze it in then while I'm leveling others then once I hit a limit
I would note that if you do want to do crafting it's recommended to do all the jobs at the same time since crafting recipes will borrow materials from other crafters all the time
gatherers are also required while on the free trial
eg making some weaver top might need leather from leatherworker, precious metals from goldsmith, and maybe some alchemy stuff
You have to be self sufficient
Yeah gatherers would be nice otherwise you will spend a fuck ton on materials
I suppose I'll try leatherworking and weaver then since my current battle class is currently there, I can probably do all three at once
I’m missing two dungeons from the level 80 roulette. Are there any commonly missed ones?
no you'll need to do all of them
there's 2 optional 80 dungeons, Akademia(?) Anyder and The Twinning
Since leatherworker and weaver commonly use materials from goldsmith, miner, botany, and a few others I'm missing off the top of my head
I finally reached Lv18 in Eureka and I have a question. I'm going to the 2nd area and just killing random adds that are +2 my level, but is it the most efficient way for levelling?
Thanks I’ll take a look.
Most efficient is doing your challenge log
Ah, I'll probably look up a guide then when I start it, sounds like its going to get complex for certain
It's not that bad
TL:DR level all your crafters at same time and also level gatherers (can honestly skip fisher)
The end
it's definitely different to how crafters in other games work
Can alchemy do so items have more materia slots?
In challenge log, it seems that I have to kill mobs that are +2 my level. I'm going eureka by SCH, and fighting against 2-3 mobs is the limit for me, but is the right way to the content?
Is there any level I want to get btw before I start? Thinking of starting directly after mounts then, still a bit early in the game
No
Materia slots are fixed
all gear has a hard cap of 5 materia slots, and as long as Advanced Melding Forbidden isn't in the item help UI any Crafter can attempt overmelding on any gear
Nahhh
Go when you want
I just wouldn't get too into it while on free trial for the sake of your tiny inventory
is Alchemist a crafter?
Yes
yes
Ok thanks
you can even meld using CUL where you get the funny animation of sauteing your gear
mmmm
Tasty
So 520 Exarchic upgrade/aughemnted have advance melding forbidden, but the 510 exarchic gear from auction house does not, and allows more melding.
Which is better?
520
The only way to gear
You sure?
5 slots vs 2 slots?
Weapon damage and main stat will always triumph substats
^^^^^^^^^^
main stat will gives significantly more
Materia is only really important when those two stats are the same between gear
Also, if I'm just interested in leveling and ending the content in Eureka, should I go to NM as well? Also, what job is the best in Eureka contents?
except for those weird 1% optimizations revolving around those weird funky 5 green materia slots gears and tenacity
Pentamelding for battle jobs is still slightly worse than a piece of gear 5 item levels higher
How many substats can you have on a Eureka weapon, 4 or 5?
Jobs only get 4 sub stats
That's not including when you meld stats a job doesn't normally get
Cuz you can meld craftsmanship to a warriors axe
except for tanks and healers there's only 4 stats which matter: crit, direct hit, determination, and recast speed (spell for casters, skill for physical)
But a Eureka weapon can have Crit, Direct, Piety, Det and Spell speed all at once right?
You can only get substats you'll naturally find on their gear
For Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "Eureka Weapon Stat Rerolling".
Which is 4
According to this, the answer is a yes(?)
Eureka is fucking wild
where do i get the level 80 drk gear
Is there a way to hide the MSQ to be continued, I don’t mind it there when I have quests to do or even class quests just want to hide when it’s not useful.
Do the tank role quest, pick it up from grendolt in the tempest
Yes it's in the ui settings
Hud layout, right click it to blue to hide it
Thanks!
i did them i still have a bit of shadowbringers left so, do i have to finish it fully
So wait, if I'm getting this right
You don't get access to the gear til level 80 msq
Technically
A Eureka weapon
With God stats
Could be better than a 535
In terms of substats
ah oki thx for help
Yes but no, there's till a total stat cap
Lol no
An optimized 535 is still easier to get than a god roll eureka and it's useful for all ultimate content
TIL dragonsong
But yeah
Eureka sub stats are also complete rng so you really don't want/need to optimize them
A groll eureka relic could technically be complete BiS for any 70 content though yeah?
It is bis for 70 content
for significantly more effort and the cost of an inventory slot, but yes
Cause the upgraded keeps the substat
not even for ultimates?
Since you can achieve the same effect with the ShB relic
Which isn't rng hell and is way easier
You get 4 substats with shadowbringers relics for ultimates
no because an optimized 535 relic hits approximately the same stat caps with manual allocations
And restats are only 1000 poetics each or so
or less
oh pog
Sealants are 100 per
would it be better to go into O12S synced with a eureka weapon with say, 700 crit than a 535?
it wouldn't matter
No
1: nobody does o12s synced
the entire point of this is that there's no meaningful difference
even if there was, you'd be wasting your time since the SHB relic works just fine
WITHOUT the rng
And in this game, consistency is valued over optimizations
because that 1% extra damage won't matter if you're dead
Those poor worlds first bastards and wondrous tales
Do all of the SB EX trials take about 5 minutes a piece to complete unsynced? Wondering if I still have time to get all of the doggos
Does the store typically have any sales around this time of year?
There's a few things I want to get but I probably should wait if there's nornally a christmas sale or something like that.
There was just a sale on boosts
But new expansion launch means no sales for a while
No, because the expansion would have just came out
Next year there will be some sales though
Ok thanks.
are the bitter memories for resistance weapons only from Bozja CEs or can they also be gotten from enemies?

Hello! I did not play to FF14 for months, then I'm sorry if my question is really stupid~ Is it possible to change my account's name? Not personal data but the name of my account the one I write to connect with my password ^^
Thank you in advance~
check via the SE account management page but I don't believe you can change your SE account ID
