what does leveling desynth do?
Ok so on world selection. Is there specific ones I should be in?
Or am I allowed to move 1 character along then worlds?
Or does each world require a new character?
You did ask and get a question in #beginner-lounge
But
You can move between worlds to visit them
Generally, pick one you got friends on
Otherwise, pick any
when you're doing the dungeons needed for Animas as PLD do you need to equip both the sword and shield at the end of the dungeon or just one?
both
You have better chances to get rarer items if your desynth level is high enough
If your desynth level is at or above the item level of an item, you have a higher chance to get the rare stuff
so for example
if you got low desynth, Extreme Trial weapons from SHB won't drop the material that often
but if it's high enough, you'll drop it more often
Ok coolio. Was wondering since flying solo and wondering if I would make a new character for each world.
If not how would I go about moving worlds?
World Travel
main aetheryte in either of the starting cities
it lets you visit other worlds, with certain limitations
mainly squadron, housing and retainers are unavailable while visiting
You cannot join a free company (guild) that's not on your homeworld
and you cannot marry people who are not on your homeworld
Ah, that was the big question. Many thanks.
I’m new to this game, what subscription should I buy?
And should I buy the expansions/if so what do I buy?
Thank you guys :)
Hello ! I bought the Endwalker expansion (collector's edition) an hour ago on Steam (because my game is on Steam), and when i'm watching my dashboard on Mog Station, Endwalker early access nor collector's edition are marked. What did i do wrong ? Do i have to wait ?
You still have to enter the codes into mogstation
entry subscription is the recommended option. It's the cheapest with the drawback of a limited number of characters you can create, which practically doesn't matter
hardly any reason to create alt characters anyway since you can do everything on just one
As for what expansions to buy: That depends on what you own already
Ok, is there a point where I should switch over to a different sub? Can I still get expansions on an entry sub? Are they worth getting?
no point no, the different subs don't restrict content whatsoever
if all you ever need is one character then there is no reason to not stay on entry sub forever
Can't really answer your expac question without knowing what you already own
I just have the free trial 😅
then I would wait with the sub too
you can play up to lvl 60 without ever subbing
that includes the base game and the first expansion
Once you decide the game is for you then you should buy either the Complete edition once it includes Endwalker (as the name suggests, it just includes everything) or you buy the starter edition (which is the same content as the free trial) and then Endwalker later (which includes Stormblood and Shadowbringers)
is there a macro target that targets where your cursor is? trying to have a macro for the NIN teleport (so don't have to target+click), working with <mo> now and it only works on an actual target entity
it's also shit if you use that for any gcd
cause of the usual macro issues with gcd skills
<mo> is specifically for targets, as it gets replaced with the target's name. It doesn't work on random ground spots.
long story short, there is a dalamud plugin that gives you mouseover functionality
Question,
For new players what world would be good to use as home world?
it's alright but plugins usually break on patchday
so you better know how to play without it
any
there is no bad choice there
Huh. Interesting
!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
Oh i forgot this point thank you. I entered the pre-purchase key, it worked, and i wanted to enter my collector's edition key, it said my key is not valid. :/
you cant enter it yet
If you're in EU, then pick any server on EU.
aka Light or Chaos data center
Oh... OK ! Thank you very much 🙂
The FAQ Vinyl linked includes mention of specific servers with majority populations, but outside of that, it's free for all.
only thing to note is that Shiva has lots of germans and Moogle has lots of French people
Is solo or party PotD better for leveling? Assuming you're not a shitty solo class like AST.
Party
You'll tear through the floors faster to get to the end faster, which is when you get the exp reward
there's no scaling in potd
same difficulty solo or party, so more people=much faster
Thanks
sometimes you can't find queues easily for 1-50 though so can be worth soloing to unlock 51-60 checkpoint
is the moogle event 1 time or will it return at some point?
@leaden ginkgo @fleet steppe OKAY, sorry to ping you two
im gonna try something
and
This iteration is one time. They'll do a new one before another major patch, but rewards might be different
okay...this is worrying but i need ideas
im desperate and about to overclock my GPU
will i live?
uh
!maint
moogle event constantly returns, but they change the stuff you can buy and the currency @fringe reef
ty
niice
!maint
Oh I didn't know that! For some reason I thought it was only level 30. Thanks lots for your help!!!
oh ty
do any of you guys have a good idea on where i can log out in limsa to get sage without getting stuck in instances?
maybe near the rogue guild ?
can log out in the inn
The trial used to only go to level 35, so you might have read old info. It was changed last year.
oh yeah you right there's no real point
probably. when i first started with an account it was around 3 years ago
aight ill log out in an inn
what does the true north ability actually do?
how long does msq take with skipping everything?
It lets you hit positionals, even if you're not in the right position
does ninja even ahgve positionals?
All melee Dps does
end move to the side for 1 gcd
ive seen people say 1-3 months which is insane, i had only played and reached stormblood before but i dont remember taking me more than like a week while skipping everything and goin as fast as possible
Your main damage combo and Trick Attack have rear positionals
Armor Crush is a side positional
It's 200h or so without skipping through stuff
Dunno about "speed running" it
Generally discouraged cause the story is half the reason to play ffxiv
So I want to get into Early Access.
I just need to preorder "endwalker" right?
I am on PS4 should I just preorder over the playstation store or what is the most secure way to get into Early Access?
i have only 105 hours on steam and i was through all of msq during stormblood..
like i was raiding by that point
Ok
yo when endwalker releases and i buy it, will it come with a sub?
im just asking if they reduced it further
damn 40 smackaroos and a sub
i got the base game
But not paying a sub?
not atm
Ah I see
How do I properly level up mining from 60-80 nowadays? I only find outdated guides
actually fuck it, ill just buy the msq skip for this char
So I want to get into Early Access.
I just need to preorder "endwalker" right?
I am on PS4 should I just preorder over the playstation store or what is the most secure way to get into Early Access?
i put like 100 hours in sept but was gonna wait to keep playing stormblood+everything else once endwalker came out
You need a pre-order to get into EA yes
whens early access
For Ps4 if you're on ps4
So just preordering on PSN?
Dec 3rd
godamn this game is expensive sheesh
If that's where you typically buy the game, then yes
Beast tribes (Namazu in 60-70, Quitari for 70-80), custom delivery npcs, crystarium deliveries (70-80). After those are exhausted either diadem or collectible turn ins.
not really, blizz is basically the same a level boost is 60 euros lmao
got couple of those
Wait preorder is more expensive?
If you're buying skip better wait til EW releases
And you can skip shb
Alright ty will Check that out!
no, was talking about something else
No
is that gonna work during early access?
well if we are comparing to wow we are kind of setting a low bar here arent we
Not sure, probably not
Or the fantasia equivalent... Like 25 I think?
Doubt they'll add it to store before the official release

What day is early access?
Dec 3rd
!expansion
This friday afaik
Wow that's close
Keep in mind Wednesday is the last day u van play before the maintenance
Cuz it will be from Thursday to Friday
yeah two and a half day now
What job archetype makes the dungeon go the fastest?
the one you're good at
All of them.
Well the tank dictates the speed of a dungeon run I guess?
Healer cause faster queue
tank pull size ain't gonna matter if your DPS is bad
but if the healer is bad, they ahve to go slower
personal skill and gear level are the biggest factors to speedy dungeon clears
Tank doesn't decide pace tbh
it's pretty much everyone sadly
If anyone is bad, it's going to go slower
I see
People at shadowbringers dungeons not knowing aoe rotation
Hey guys, when I watch other ppl's videos or streams I notice they keep spam pressing their GCDs
Why is that? what's the advantage over just pressing it once ?
No advantage, just if you don't know the timings of them 🤷
some people are button mashers
if your tank doesn't wall to wall, it's slow, if your healer isn't aoeing but spamming low lvl heals(or high lvl heals cause your tank is shitty geared/not using cooldowns), it's slow, if your DPS are bad, it's slow
probably better on your hands not to mash the buttons
They get to start the cooldown the fastest
But isnt the single press queuing it so it's gonna execufte as soon as possible anyway? I'm bit new to the game
It'll queue anyway so as long as you're right-ish on time it'll do it asap
na queueing it is enough
ppl just get used to spamming cause nothing else to do
and this way you don't have to "time" it, since queue isn't for the full GCD
ok thanks!
You can press the button slightly before the cooldown comes back and queue the input yeah
For me the mashing is a habit from WoW, but I couldn't tell you why I did it there either.
So it's mainly a habit and a safety measure rather than something mandatory, right?
yeah there's no benefit over just pressing once a bit before to queue
thx!
thing is if you only press once, you kinda have to pay attention to the GCD to press it at the right time to queue properly
if you mash, you don't have to look
I dont over tap.
Wait a bit before it pops and then start tapping.
Otherwise it destroys your fingers
yeah that works too
@forest sage yeah that make's sense
you don't have to mash super fast either though
yeah
hey, I'm new to the game and wondering, I am doing the main quest but I cant seem to continue it. I last did the "Terror at fall Gourd". I'm not sure what I need to do now I don't see the next mission?
you're probably too low level
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
is it red because you're too low lvl?
this video in particular, he intrigued me the most thats why I asked , he mashes like a speed demon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx95SOhbAM0
It's lv 27 msq he shouldn't be too low
I'm lvl 33
.
so that prb is not the problem
is the next quest just not there?
yeah I cant find it anywhere
Maybe he has to equip an item?
could try relogging as in rare cases the NPCs don't spawn when zone states change but that seems weird in an ARR quest
Just click your msq tracker
Like during that one where you have to put on the boots?
Or is there nothing there?
I remember a quest where you went to that party and had to put on the boots
not earrings
Either click msq tracker to get location of next or check quest journal for what you need to do
It's top left of your screen by default, always open (unless you have it ticked to close upon finishing msq)
oh, mb lol i didnt see that at all haha, Yeah its there
depends on the city i think, it's a mask for gridania and shoes for limsa. maybe it's an earring for uldah
Oh ye that makes sense
Thanks 🙂
Hey so Dec. 7 is the delayed EW official released date? Or Dec.7 + delay 2 weeks.
Dec 7 is the delayed date
Hey hey. Quick question for you guys.
On the endwalker page it says "On sale December 7", does that mean on sale until Dec 7 or going to be on sale for Dec 7?
Dec 7 is when it will officially be on sale, and not just a pre-order
Oh on sale as in "in shops"
*for sale. Not discounted
Ah ok. So just to make sure, it won't get cheaper in the next 1-2 weeks?
I paid $100 for the whole game cuz I didn’t know u can get previous exp by just getting EW
It should not
#beginner-lounge tho, this isn't discussion thread
But you could only get the previous expansions after it launched.
Ok I’m leave now thanks
No worries mate 
what's the point of potd do you get anything cool?
Challenge, cosmetics, exp for leveling
Think I asked this in the wrong place, but does anyone know of how I can get an invite to a linkshell for newer players?
well, there's the novice network, which exists for mentors and new players
Yeah but that only lasted for a few days, sadly.
any linkshells outside of NN would be server or DC specific
I've tried using that but it seems like you have to track down players and catch them when they are logged in, and I haven't had any luck with that. Is that the only way to get into a linkshell?
Do I not get the exp earrings until the 3rd? I've activated EW, fairly sure.
You have to eb invited by the linkshell leaders so yes
It can take up to 24h
Ok well thank you for the information. Hmm...
can all furniture/housing items be desynthed?
i have too many furniture taking up inventory space because they are unsellable and i do not (want to spend money to) own a room or house
Well I don't know, but if you right click them and they have the desynth option, you can desynth them
Crafted ones maybe, but I don't think ones from events or quest rewards can be.
99% of the ones i have are from quests
stupid question - im veryyy new - is there any way to practice and learn dungeon mechanics. when i do a new duty with random ppl, everything gets done by them immediately (no doubt they just wanna get on their way) but as a result i havent learned a single thing about any dungeon or anything ive played, especially since i dont wanna get in their way and fuck up. do i just have to find friends who'll let me be stupid and explore
i'd say don't be afraid to ask I have for a lot of dungeons and everyone has been nice and explained
what's a recommended spot to log out in for EW launch
I’ll logout in Ishgard Inn
a valid point. we got any idea where EW's gonna start or is it gonna be 
Rising Stones probably
Is it possible to make it so all my party messages go into a specific tab?
so i dont get all the emotes etc in the same place
in limsa
You can set chat filters
ishgard's a good idea, exitting it isn't going to be super flooded
Can log out from inside the rising stones
It's likely the first quest will be there, who knows tho
I redeemed the pre-order bonus for endwalker - do i get a pair of those earrings on every character?
Yes
great 🙂 thanks
is it possible to log out in the rising stones or do you get kicked out like you would out of your house
should be ok
I think it's fine, can try it out in a bit
i shall try
yes
can log out in the rising stones as well
if you don't want to go all the way in the solar
does g-shade affect anything upon updating
or does it just break and nothing happens
it should just break and turn off until they fix it
in the community finder - is active hours eorzea time or server time?
neither, should be IRL hours
Actually it seems to be up to whoever posted the listing as they select the time and it doesn't ask them for a timezone either
thats strange
Im on Free Trail and have 260k Gil. What can i Buy to "Bunker" Gil for later. I know i will loose some gil doing that
hey, i was looking up a quest on the wiki and it says go to Gangos, i have no idea where that is, can you give me directions
hi!
i am
going to attempt to overclock my intergrated graphics
i am university student
i do not own TV
That sounds like something for the #technology-discussion channel
it probably should be
Gangos is part of the Bozja story/quests, have you started it?
lemme look
If you have been there before, you would normally return by teleporting the Doman Enclave and then using the aetherite or boat at the docks to travel to Gangos. If you haven't done it before, there's quite a bit of requirements.
No

returning player, played during stormblood and dont have endwalker so that means i cant go through msq there. Is there anything that i can do in the mean time?
hey can I get some more help with this quest? An Expected Engagement is supposed to be the first quest in the chain but its located in the "Bozjan Southern front" and I have no such location on the TP screen
to get to the Southern Front, you have teleport to the Doman Enclave, then use the aethernet to teleport to Gangos from there
have you actually unlocked the Bozja questline?
i checked the wiki and it says i needed a quest, so i traced the questline back tot eh first onbe
and that asks me to go there
what is the first quest than
okey i will try, this is confusing as hell
!levelmete
Which is faster for leveling? Zadnor or Bozja?
Looking to pick someones brain on gathering? I'm 51 and apparently I should have Collectibles unlocked in Diadem...it's not showing up for me though?
Bozja zone 3 has decent fate spawns
Zadnor has better mettle and I personaly prefer zadnor CEs
diadem doesn't have collectibles for gathering
Can you swap your job mid raid? (not in a fight obviously, but say I'm tanking can I go GNB for one fight then PLD for the next?
You use the materials gathered in the diadem to craft collectibles and then hand them in
getting more xp depending on quality tier you hit
not mid-raid
you would have to leave and then go back in
trying to overclock/undervolt your cpu is not a good idea if you don't know what you're doing so... no
Aye, I've done that on DOH, so I just mindlessly farm in Diadem until 80? I'm so confused as I've been told there is collectables or something but I can't find any resources >.<
As was mentioned yesterday, you're just gonna have to get a better computer/laptop or a ps4/ps5
Beast tribes, Leves and collectibles outside of diadem
wait you mean FFXIV doesn't run on PS3 anymore?! (joke)
Diadem for leveling DOL is really only if you've exhausted other options (since some stuff is daily, weekly, or limited by leve allowance).
How and where are these Collectibles please? Checking my crafter log doesn't produce any results for it..
gatherer log*
collectables are 50+
I'm 51
Not showing for me..
have you done the quest "Instructable Tastes" in Ishgard?
If its the same one for DOH then yes
Should I join a fc? Or what are the benefits
I'll double check though- thanks all. I've 4 DOH at 80, this DOL thing is confusing the life out of me,like it's some big secret haha
Collectables are under the "special" tab in the gathering log
FCs can activate buffs that give you some benefits
Not there unfortunately. I've checked, and logged a few times
you're absolutely certain you did the quest "instructable tastes"?
It's sitting in my log, man, even after all this time..thanks for talking me through that. Appreciate it
can anyone help me find a lvl 80 dummy?
there are some dummies just outside the amh araeng Aetheryte
to the NW if i remember correclty
where do i need to go to get sage?
there's level 80 dummies in the ondo cups
Limsa
and reaper?
Ul'dah
signing out in limsa or ul dah proper is a death sentence, fyi. if you go for either one log out in your inn room
theres actually luckily preset settings for radeon vega 8?
what classes should my retainers be? also, is just spamming quick exploration the best bet?
its been a long time since playing, where do i find my stash/bank?
generally recommend atleast one combat and one botanist/miner, since combat retainers can go gather mob drops and the botanist/miner can gather what you can as a botanist/miner. so if you wanna be lazy and not gather those things yourself they can do it. quick ventures are good if you really don't want anything specific
just keep in mind that your retainers can only go as high as you are in that class
so if you dont intend to do gathering at all, then dont bother making them a gatherer
eh the performance gains will likely be minimal. plus, trying to do so could cause overheating, which can seriously damage the system
one of my retainers is a job i no longer play and thus it cannot reach max level, it's only 15 atm, worth resetting it?
and im likely going to have to replace it anyways
i would reset ye to a class you do currently play
kk ty
i know you said botanist/miner, but my 2nd retainer is a fisher, which i actually do. is that significantly lower profit to the point where i should be leveling one of the other 2 and make that my 2nd retainer's job? @twilit arch
i mean its fine if you just intend to do quick ventures with it
yeah that's my plan
the class really doesn't matter
but fisher isn't recommended because its kind of hit or miss with its 1hr targetted ventures
ah okay
like it really depends on what fish is needed at end-game and if your retainer can even gather it
thanks for the help
no problem
do i just desynth approved skybuilder fish or is there another use?
No, just desynth. You'll get a bunch of skybuilder mats out of them though, rather than the usual sand
Which you can use for crafting or sell on the MB
ummm, how does one desynth................. am dumb
Level crafter to 30 > unlock at the uldah marketplace > unlocked for all as long as they're over 30
either use the action in your action and traits or right click the item > desynth
so sounds like i just need to do something in uldah
You'll need culinarian at level 30 in particular to desynth fish

Now that I think about it, I guess you could also use the fish in an aquarium or printed on a canvas for housing.
Fisher retainers can rarely get expensive things to sell on the MB, one of the most popular of which being this -> 
yes
I just finished the ARR story
what should i do before moving onto HW
like i just beat the ultima weapon boss and i am lost
There's a post-ARR story before you get to Heavensward
would it have the msq icon
ok so do those quests and the post-ARR stuff?
There's a few other mandatory side bits you'll need to do as well
The crystal tower alliance raid series
As well as level 50 versions of titan, ifrit and garuda
So I pre ordered EW a few weeks ago, after a couple attempts on having it manually bill me and failing to do so I decided to cancel the pre-order and received a Customer Support e-mail confirming it was cancelled. However my account still is labeled as it shows in the screenshot since I entered the code I got at the time.
I heard from someone that billing was being done automatically atm, so I went ahead, purchased EW and got billed properly at the time of purchase but I don't know what to do with the current EW early access code I have, since this one is a paid and valid code and the one I entered back then got cancelled. Anything I can do in this scenario?
@warm snow is there anything that you just recommend doing that isnt required
ok thanks
I would recommend Coils of Bahamut if you've got some high level friends to run you through it so you can see the story. Otherwise you can do them later (or not at all if you don't want to)
The msq will stop you at around 2.4 if you haven't done those
i got some stupid error my controller does not work on ffxiv
it was working fine till i got kicked from afk
i log in my controller doesn't show up
i play ffxiv on pc with controller. The controller does detects on the game and i tried other games and steam calibration and it works
only in ffxiv doesn't work because of the stupid kick i from from afk it broke my controller on ffxiv
Could someone clarify what ten chi jin does
Temporarily converts each of the three mudra into a ninjutsu action. Executing one of these actions will convert the remaining mudra into different ninjutsu actions until all three have been executed or the Ten Chi Jin effect expires.
Duration: 6s
Only ninjutsu available while active. The same ninjutsu cannot be executed twice.
Cannot be executed while under the effect of Kassatsu. Effect ends upon moving.
the skill
For 6s you can't move
And while the buff is active each mudra does its action while you chain a combo
So you can do shuriken, raiton, suiton
By clicking the suiton combo
oh so i want to do suiton combo?
And and I suppose you can get off a katon, doton
aaa
for Aoe, yeah
i see
Jin Ten Chi
did squenix ever say that theyre gonna add older ultimate weapons to newer classes?
They don't
They've said maybe, but no promises
So for now no
How do you get accessories fast if you’re under lvl 60?
I thought you could only do poetics starting at 60?
n-no
50
50
The level 50 poetics accessories are plenty until you unlock level 60 poetics vendors
Ironworks is the lvl 50 poetics gear
Poetics are for every OLD expansion
So there's level 50 poetics vendors, 60 vendors, 70 vendors
Soon to be 80 vendors
Got it
so I'm doing my challenge log and I'm curious whats the difference between levelplate and levequest? need to do 4 of them and 19 of the other just to get my self more set for endwalker
Plate are the card things that appear on the leve quest UI. They're kind of like categories I guess
The plate tells you which kind of levequest it is
For the challenge log prep you need to be careful that when you hit 4/5 plates, that any further leve quests you do (for the 19/20 entry) have plates that you've already done. Otherwise you might accidentally do a 5th plate.
does gear go highier then 50 then gearscore/item score/
k
Both change friday
kk
So I'm pretty sure I finished ARR? End credits rolled but now I'm continuing msq but all of it is lvl50 am I not done of Arr or is this heavensward and how do I know?
If you relocate a house, what happens to in/outdoor items? Do they just auto get put in storage?
you finished 2.0
you still have 2.x
Welcome to Post ARR
I assume you just killed the ultima weapon
So yeah, you finished the base game
Still in ARR, you have 2.1 - 2.5 before Heavenward
Have to finish the postgame story to get to the next expansion
Still don't get 2.1 and all that is there a way I can understand it?
2.1 to 2.5 were all introduced after ARR but before HW
2.1 is the first patch after 2.0, the base game
Yeah but like is there a list
It's linear msq
list of quests?
I don't wanna skip it its cool
they are version numbers, anything 2.X is ARR, 3.X is HW, 4.X is SB, 5.X is ShB
6.X will be EW
@patent frigate basically after arr came out, we got patches with more level 50 Content and story until the next expansion came out
apparently this is the list of all the Seventh Astral Era MSQ
Oh that makes sense
also why use numbers just use names
because numbers are easier
They’re shorter
Because the patches came out numbered 2.1,2.2,2.3
Not for me but alright lol
what is highest heaven on high weapon?
And there's like 5 named patches per expansion
99
Think of it like this, if someone asked you 3 years from now when "Death Unto Dawn" took place, you'd probably have a hard time remembering
But if they asked you when 5.55 was, that would be easy
Because you know it's after 5.4 and before 6.0
Having to type out A realm Awoken, Through the Maelstrom, Defenders of Eorzea etc
Has anyone contacted Customer Support through chat? (Not email)

Forgot how to get there but there is a way through the website
You'll probably be in a queue though, you could be waiting anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour
This question has probably been asked a billion times but does the moogle treasure trove event end on the 3rd during early access or the 7th when endwalker comes out?
Ends with maintenance
Correct
So is this the plate for levequest the top right part?
Is there a reason why materia I are worth a lot more than other lower-level materia on the MB?
because you need a lot of materia 1 for the relic quest
but materia 1 is super hard to make
you got to consider people doing relic and or overmelding
You need them for arr relics
Ah
The only way to get them is spirit bonding
Yeah it's almost entirely people gouging for the relics
But they're a massive pain in The ass to grind nowadays
Thanks!
When is the last day I can buy the game and it is still considered preorder? I should buy the base game and EW right?
thursday probably
the crafter version of this, gives bonus xp in ishgard resto?
starter + endwalker is the way to go
Only for the actual crafting and not for the collectible turn ins
hmm, not really worth it then, right?
not really :/
Yes
@obsidian patioThanks
I want more retries for my wondrous tales, how can i get em?
Do content with first time bonus
oh actually i have 9, weeee
You can get it somewhat via roulettes but going through party finder and looking for people wanting to complete EXs for the first time is more reliable
also yay
I started a new class and i am on lvl 6 can do the side quests that for lvl 12 and such? If not how do lvl my second job faster if i can't do any quests?
So in general. How do I lvl up a lower class.

to tack on, you turn in quests and stuff unless you meet the level of the quest
But yes hunting log for early levels is very very good for alts
after that as Wynne suggested, Palace of the Dead is good, also your roulettes generally
dungeon spam
etc
Allo does anyone know how many hours we’re away from endwalker maintenance?
Questing isn't really a large component of leveling aside from job quests and main story
!maint
er right it doesn't work here
Oh another question – for Wondrous Tales, I get the second book after i turn in the first and it has all the retries?
Where do i use that command
!maint in #kupo-bot-spam @proud tide
Ty
is anyone having weird black squares in character select / login screen or is it just me i dont think it happens in game
Retries don't refresh with new books
If you had 3 when you finish one book you'll start with 3 for the next
i see ok
I am playing with a friend he's lvl 20. And i am lvl 6 so what can we do together so I lvl up fast?
fates mainly
or Palace of the Dead actually
What and where is Palace of the dead?
if its your first character and class, you should do your main story scenario
thats where most of your EXP will come from
^
palace of the dead is unlocked through this as well
!quest The House that Death Built
Nojiro Marujiro has a glut of gossip he has been dying to share with someone.
Nojiro Marujiro

Wood Wailer Expeditionary Captain
South Shroud (X: 25.25 Y: 20.71)
Into a Copper Hell
What Lies Beneath
This unlocks Palace of the Dead, after that you can access it from South Shroud
It DOES require you to have a level 17 class though
and be a tiny bit into main story

hai calisaie
ur cool
also is ishgard housing under the lottery housing
or is that going to be introduced in 6.1
Ishgard housing should have lottery housing when it comes out
Oh is ishgard housing not gonna be available right away?
Nope that'd be a bit silly
im debating if i should snag a house now since i dont know if the previous housing is going to be put under the lottery system immediately as well, i couldnt really find much about it online
They like to delay things like raids and stuff so people don't feel rushed to do story and whatnot and likewise I think for similar reasons putting housing at 5.0 launch is a horrible idea
Is there any other way to snag a big plot other than new expansion
That and the fact servers will literally melt right now
Find a plot and camp it
Sorry
oh right
cal did they mention how housings gonna work if you want to move houses since theyre taking relocations away?
is it gonna be "pay for lottery" then wait till you win and then demolish ur house to move?
I guess the new lottery system is the best new way for me to snag a plot then
alrighty
yeah ima hang back for ishgard then
since i want the large thats next to the giant spa
can anyone tell me which way is fastest to farm skybuilders scrips? delivery diadem botanist materials or 4grade cloth? i only have both at lvl 60 :c
just want the sheep mount c':
(by both i mean botanist and weaver)
Crafters are going to be faster scrips
Just wanna make sure, pre-order for endwalker ends on the day before release and not the early access righ?
Yes
Thanks
One the extreme of ifrit, titan, etc you get horses but do you get something for collecting every horse?
Ask any man in Othard who rules the realm of beasts, and you will receive the same answer─Kirin. It is believed that the lion-like creature has walked the eastern lands for over a thousand years and will only answer the call of a hero it has deemed worthy.
A Legend For A Legend (Quest)
I knew what I was doing
Ahhh ty ty
anyone know the exchange rate of revelation to poetics? a cryptlurker ring costs 375 revelation. will it then cost 1500 poetics (x4)? should I buy it with revelation before endwalker?
Afaik it will cost the same as other poetics rings
No no, the ring will cost the same as any other poetics ring from older expansions
Poetics are easier to get anyway
I forget the conversion of revelations to poetics though
You should buy it with Revelation since Revelation will trade to less poetics
which should be 280
^ as far as I remember
But only if you already have enough Revelation in your pocket
Probably not worth the effort grinding it now
I don't know the exact rate of exchange but it'll be low
What I've been told is somewhere around 4 or 5 revelation to 1 poetic
For Allegory and Revelation
Or maybe that's allegory idk for certain
I have 1900 revelation, and the space to add 200 more. So I could go max 2000 revelation, or buy a ring and go in with 1725
Do take note that when you get the ring in Endwalker
It will be augmented straight out of the box
It won’t be unique also
Imo, with this small of a margin
I mean, honestly, it's less than 300 poetics, that's like 20-25 minutes in Eureka
it's not something worth optimizing imo, the game throws poetics at you
Especially if you did WT in the last 2 weeks
Unless they forget that change lol
Then we riot
Poetics rings not being unique only happened in like what, 5.45?
It was after 5.3
5.4

if i go start and dont turn in every level 70 side quest will i get a full level when i turn them in on EW release?
Hi, I'm still starting HW but had read a bit about the game before starting, I've always been curious about RP in this game, tho i have never it, but it kinda seems like it's not seen really well or something, how is it perceived by the community in general?
Do you need to do DR 4 times to unlock Zadnor? Only asking because a Reddit comment I saw seemed to say that
if you want to RP, there's plenty of public venues in the evenings on most servers, and a number of communities around if you care to find them
you only need to do DR once
depends on how you RP too .. if it’s normal then yknow, the world treats you like all other normal shiz; if it’s cringy like the smn ifrit thing, expect cringe ¯_(ツ)_/¯
but you have GM on your side if people ever harass you so role play away …
Summon ifrit thing? Idk whats that about, tbh all ive seen so far is people emoting
Im mainly interested in the social aspect of it tbh, it seems like the only way people socialize around
depends on what you mean by "socializing"
most people aren't gonna go up to random people and just start talking, either in video games or real life
RP is a form of socializing, but it's people going somewhere with the intent of interacting in a specific way, in this case being roleplaying as their character
which is different than like
talking to your FC members or the people in a linkshell
Right, but its just kind of one more thing you can do with people i guess
I'm new to GNB, what does Continuation do? The tooltip doesnt explain it very well
Can I ask for technical help here? (i.e. constant crashing that just randomely started)
basically it's an oGCD that you put in between gnashing fang for more damage, it'll change automatically
so you press Gnashing Fang-Cont-Savage Claw-Cont-Wicked Talon-Cont
!faq smnifrit
WHAT THEVFU
😂 😂 😂
in short, it’s like anything. RP is fine. Moronic RPers taint the perception
Especially the perception of the generally moronic
Oh god, queued for MSQ roulette, got praetorium. No one is even a sprout. Why did the game do this to us.
because rng
There’s 2 duties to pick
not every single run of msq roulette is going to pair you with sprouts
and there's only 2 duties in msq roulette
it says i need to do all the quests of anemos to get to the next area of eureka but i dont have any quests nd krile keeps saying something abt a blockage near the laboratory
Go to the laboratory
the eureka quests are not your standard quests, in that you have something in your journal/on the duty list to see
you need to read what krile says and look in the area she mentions for the item/thing you need
i have but i cannot find anything </3
Look harder
look harder. Alternatively, look for a guide online
Is there patch notes for the expansion I’m having a hard time following the live letter channel it seems all over the place.
The maintenance hasn’t happened yet so no
prelims should be released on wed
I can’t even find where it says belts and hq crafting items are being removed.
yeah, expansions are large enough that they reveal the patch notes even before maintenance
I was told the gathering hq materials which are used for crafting no?
Idk where it says any of this
HQ gathered materials are gone
I am preparing my challenge log for reaper on Friday . Will doing solo relic grinds affect my dungeon count?
But HQ intermediate materials you make, like ingots, and HQ items, like armors, all remains
Yeah but where do they discuss the change
In the live letter
The most recent live letter
Which one
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/0a0962a35b206ad25983b5eff8146b3a23beaaf6 they made a catch all post
for several of the upcoming changes
I skimmed the channel in here and didn’t see it
It’s on YouTube, just watch it
Okay thanks Merrywryn
Does the mentor role envelop incomplete Mentor status?
Ie Hand or Battle
Or is it just full fledged
yes but if you want mentor roulette you need battle mentor
Neato, I’m nearly done with my Crafter mentor status
Thanks ^^
Is there any way to pay for EW besides debit card? My bank keeps actively blocking it for some reason (called both bank & contacted SE support & its 100% the bank doing it)
Paypal
Just a curious question...
Will the day from the 24h maintenance added/not counted of from the sub? oô
It will be counted against your sub
Aye, gotcha!
hey heres a weird question i dont think ive heard anythink about
has anyone heard anything about New Game+ in endwalker?
if theres no NG+ im gonna be doing the story on my alt first so i can then go back and do it again with my friend once they finish shadowbringers in like a week or two
NG+ is gonna be a thing
It'll work the same as it has in shadowbringers
fkin 2019 when it was added and i just forgot
There's no reason for them to suddenly change it
oh no haha
i mean like
is it gonna be in the game day 1
i know im prolly part of a very small demographic that cares about it being there so early but i wanna be able to zoom through the story asap while also be able to play with my friend who's prolly gonna be done with shadowbringers in maybe a week or two
but we dont know for sure
it'll be in day 1 yes
oh
All the SHB patches were in day 1
oh thats news to me
how far into the maint are yo unormally able to patch
i havent done an expansion release since hw
i dont remember
a few hours before
~8 hours give or take
usually the latter half
hm ok ty
To glamor stuff, do you have to be the proper level for the item? (Basically, need to use a DoW item for Fashion Report, I have no DoW jobs leveled, can I just use a level 1 DoW job and glamor some level 37 boots on it? I presume no)

No. Glamour requires that the item you're glamouring be at least the same equippable level as the piece you want it to look lik.e
So you can't glamour a level 1 piece of gear to look like a level 15 piece.
Yeah that’s what I figured. Oh well….goodbye sweet, sweet MGP for this week
Thanks 🙂
This week's fashion report doesn't require any high-level gear though?
If I want a second FF account, will steam play nicely just letting me choose with login name to use on the launcher or do I need to do some prep work to manage that?
Literally "any dyeable" for hands and feet, and the Alpine Coat which is a level 1 glamour piece.
Not for the easy points.
Alpine coat and such was last week. Reset was today.
There's usually always a way for every level of character - for the most part - to get 80%
They usually don't hardlock it like that
There's a ton of lookalikes for those.
For those armored core boots?
Yeah
Where is the samurai aoe rotation? i cannot find it in the balance
I think the lowest level lookalikes are like, level 15?
And you can buy them from a vendor.
All DoW though?
Yeah, unfortunately the plated-caligae are basically tank gear.
Yeah, and I’ve only got DoM
But you could get a level 15 DoW in like, an hour? Tops?
I'm confused here, don't they only need the items in the 80 point bracket to get the 60k?
Or am I missing out on more points myself
What level's your DoW?
0
this week's fashion report isn't available yet
Er, DoM, I mean
65
Have you hit HW?
Past it
Pick up DRK
Anyone else ever got this error?
guys, it doesn't matter
Fashion report has reset
you can't present yourself for judging until friday
Well, still relevant, gonna need this for Friday
I forgot that it wasn't.
No this is for this week
What's required for this week is different
Check your drive that 14 is on for a loose connection to the motherboard.
That fixes it for a lot of people
No
Yes
I see, kaiyoko posted a "suggestion" post
Okay so back to it then, gonna need this for Friday. So, talk to me about this DRK stuff. They start higher leveled?
Yeah, DRK starts at 30
Siiiiick
The damn thing is I ran a bunch of coils last week and had rings coming out of my ass, which I have since sold :p
could anyone help me out. I'm halfway to finishing the trial . I was wondering if i should pre purchase the endwalker collectors edition and just keep the code till im done with the trial. will this code expire ?
I mean, you can use other pieces than the recommendations for the "easy" points.
Just combine a few of the other slot pieces and you should be fin.
Oh really? Just pick any 2?
it should not but you will need starter as collectors is only Endwalker
The preorder code for EW will be good until March 30.
Complete collectors will not be out until after full release
those are made with the idea in mind that they are the lowest level required/easy to get items
so if you have say the chest+pants
that works the same as chest + boots
or ring+pants
Oh snap, that’s great to know, thanks
Cuz yeah I got my 100 done already, all im after is this easy MGP now :p
I can use the hard drive though
Alright, what were you doing before the crash happened?
Anyhoo, thanks Aura, thanks Merry 🙂 I appreciate the help and suggestions!
Lets see if I can troubleshoot from there
Is there any way to do quests with a friend?
I am lvl 20 my friend is lvl 16 and we didn't really know what to do together.
I logged in went to the gold saucer did my tickets then quit
Like 7 hours ago
I just reseated everything in my PC
because my pc is having issues turning on now for some reason out of nowhere
Im reinstalling the entire game now to see if it fixes
I would recommend running a scan on your PC
I've uninstall and reinstalled no AV running
delete the launcher and reinstall it
You can both queue up for the same dungeons.
For instance, Sastasha.
Just party up with them if you're not on the free trial.
For me? Its not showing anything
Like spyware?
If you said your entire PC is having issues, I'd scan, or do a system repair
If it's just XIV, try reinstalling the launcher
We are still new to the game. I don't know where that dungeon is. Or hoe to access them. Is it one of the futy finders?
*duty
Well, you get to your first dungeon at the Level 15 story quest.
So if you're both up to that point in the story, you can do it together.
Ooooh ok. I am lvl 14 story quest
What's the difference between the standard one?
collector editions are just additional items like mounts minions and stuff like that
any other way to fix it if a reinstall doesnt?
What day is early access?
Friday
!expansion
when I purchased the game on steam, I go forward with this?
You'd have to pass on to someone else, that's about all I got
uh I had a similar issue
this pops up after some time passes right?
Yeah like it starts to load into game then pops up
Like every other game on the hard drive works fine
you still need the game right? to download it
does it download at all before it errors out?
So is the Rising Stones a solo instance like the inns, or is it a normal instance but with everyone hidden. Cuz when I enter the rising stones it shows an instance number like expansion zones do
I couldnt get in when it was installed
What are the chances they add new mounts to the firmament or any new items at all tbh?
can your retainer be a red mage?
yes
where can i find level 1 weapons for rdm then? or how do i go about doing that?
They have to be lvl 50 before they can switch
is there a guide to the steam version LOL i'm having trouble registering the game :(
There are no lvl 1 weapons for rdm. The lowest weapons are lvl 50 and you can buy either with poetics (ironworks) or from calamity salvager
can they be any job, just like a normal playable character?
Solo instances, no one else is in there
Retainers cannot be crafting classes
Other than that, they can be whatever

oh, i specifically meant to swap jobs
like, can my DRG retainer become a RDM
some googling says that a core class retainer can become RDM, but not a retainer that has already selected a job..?
ah okay, so if i wanted an expansion job retainer, i would level the base class to the level needed for the expansion job, and not select another job during the process
thanks for the help!
anyone know what now?
it's just sittin there
I need to get the code to enter into the website
why is this so hard :(
Oh yeah, I am pretty far from doing it, but what's usually the price of a house?
few millions gil
about 3 mil is the lowest possible base price for a small
I see, I see, thanks!
Im doing my final logout for shb. Is logging off at kugane inn a bad idea or should i logout in uldah inn
log out in ul'dah's inn if you want reaper
👍, why does the inn avoid ques like logging out directly in the main city
what's the recommended ilvl to start endwalker with? i might decide to use an alt job that i haven't geared up since ilvl 500
probably doesn't matter much since the first dungeon will give you gear, but 500 should be fine
if anyone preordered endwalker on steam, did you get a code or entered it anywhere
ohh sound good ty
can we desynth belts after EW drops, I can't find the belt post
when you're asked questions by NPCs during dialogue, do the answers really matter?
Not unless you’re doing the firmament/doman enclave quests
ok I see
I think it affects some cutscenes
yeah like in SB, I feel like this one would cause some different outcome, though nothing of import to the main plot:
usually just an immediate different reaction
^
Anyone in Aether and willing to help with Alexander 11 Savage? (Heart of the Creator)
anyone know what the generic heavensward mount music is
I have a few people trying to do it unsync with me but the 1-8 numbering part is instakill with only 3
there’s only 1 that actually plays out vastly different afaik; though eventually, the ending is the same
How fast does the StB MSQ give me gear that surpasses Augmented Shire
shire is good enough til 63 iirc
then the stats jump becomes huge
so get some dungeon upgrades to prepare for 65
as in, spam the 63 dungeon couple times to prepare
After the 4.0 lv70 trial
