what is alphascape v4.0 savage called in abbreviation?
O12s
what does it stand for
anyone got a guide for the coffee biscuit leve in shadowbringers?
Omega, 12th instance, Savage - aka Alphascape 4.0
would o12s become easier when i get to lvl90 in EW?
is that generally how ppl gil farm in the game through the crafting and gathering jobs
cause im broke cause I buy off the market all the time
anyone know what this error means?
Means you've got a problem with DirectX 11
@open coral im trying to farm "Alphascape Datalog v4.0" item drop. would unsync affect it?
Nope. Datalogs should drop regardless of sync or unsync since it's "on completion" not "on completion while synced"
how hard is it to farm o12s unsynced?
Not very, but you'll need at least a few people to help out.
You definitely want a full party
And you still need to do a few essential mechanics
But there’s guides tailored to doing it unsynced on YouTube
Even at 90 you'll still probably want at least 4 people total.
How many hours until the servers go down?
Do !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
Probably still want 8 due to the dashes in the first phase
Not sure if that scales with number of players
Oh yeah, that's fair.
does anyone know a fix to this, ive never had this issue before
For the dungeon master challenge log do I need to do the dungeons synced?
nope
try using the third party launcher xivlauncher integrity check
or wait 1 day till you are able to use the integrity check in the official launcher
Where do you accept stormblood hunts?
no need to accept, you just do them
Crystal Tower quest is the one with cid right?
Where do you get the bills though?
Board is in Kugane
you can find the bills in around a few areas (one also in foundation), but you earn the rewards at once you kill them
I need to know where the board is
i just finished 5.1. can i complete post content in 6ish hours without skipping? i cant play until friday release
x11,y10
doesn't narrow it down, Cid's in more than one load of sidequests
if you want to get everything, no.
Thank you kindly
you can also accept stormblood's hunt in rhalgr's reach btw, next to centurio npc
sorry to clarify, i mean 5.2-5.55 msq
"if you want to get everything, no."
k thanks
they are all pretty long all together
Sorry was trying to not spoiler it, my next quest was the tower so I'm on the right track
hey this is gonna be a bit of a weird question. I've been playing about a month ago and i got to level 55 and got the full game now, and I've been enjoying it, but the early game was pretty boring to be fair. I have a couple of friends that are interested in the game, but have already gotten bored in the first 5-10 levels, before any of the actual fun stuff happens. what stuff is there that I can do to keep them interested and get them past the initial boring grind?
I have a dumb question because I'm a dumbass... so I bought ARR story skip after I completed the Umbral Era since I just wanted to skip most of the patch questlines and go right into Heavensward after doing my homework by watching some of the cutscenes that I missed.
However, I'm having some extreme and unexpected buyers remorse. Even if the early quests are slow it just feels wrong to skip them so I was thinking about asking a GM for a rollback to right before I used the skip. Do you think this would be worth pursuing or nah?
I know I can replay the quests with NG+ but I'd rather not do several hours of questing for zero rewards.
I'm used to grindy games so for me it wasn't bad, but I can definitely understand why they dislike it so far
they dont do rollbacks like that
Play with them. Playing together is #1 for me
Figures, thanks
I tried a bit, it just ends up being me following after them trying to help them do their main story quests
I played with a different group of friends when I started, they were great at keeping the game interesting, I don't have their charisma though lmao
Well what i wouldn't give to sit and talk with friends while playing ffxiv x)
that's what i would do at least
How many wolf marks extra is the daily bonus for Frontlines?
good point, just ignoring the gameplay and just actually talking while doing it lol
How many retainers can one have at once? Two?
says on the roulette, 1000 iirc
just delete these files and start it again?
why would i delete those files?
because there's a mismatch which means they're corrupted in some ways, so you throw them away and the launcher will download them again
oh

I mean don't know if it'll fix your issue but that's worth doing before you reinstall the whole thing
worst case you lose 30secs
true
hey what's the deal about the island sanctuaries?
or are they called something else?
they're 6.1 content, so we'll know about them when they're actually closer to release
6.X feature
Won't be talked about for abit
poetics are an eternal low lvl currency, limited tome which I assume is what you meant come with savage release in 6.05
Ah right tome
Ok good to know
Was wondering if i should rush to 90 or try one of the new classes
You have 2 weeks before normal modes and another 2 for savage and capped tomes
You got plenty of time
okay yeah i need to reinstall
Ye so no real biggie to get to 90 asap
there isn't really a reason to rush besides completing story/avoiding spoilers, there's a ton of time to farm stuff before the "real" content releases
and the stuff you farm is borderline pointless if you can afford crafter gear
Will I still be able to be the pre-order bonuses from Endwalker the day before the early access period starts? Just want to make sure.
Okay good, thanks.
if i have max level characters, for the roulette, do I still get Poetics? or only the max level ones?
roulettes that give poetics give poetics regardless, max lvl or not
You'd get both
You get poetics for roulettes as long as the job you use to do the roulette is lv 50+
you can't do poetic content before 50 though
even if the reward lists only Allegory/Revelation?
yeah it's like 50/60/70 roulette and alliance and MSQ
poetics are only from old content so no if the roulette doesn't list them, they don't give poetics at all
because it's new content roulettes
80 and expert is no poetics
Is there a way to see my bonus XP remaining from one of the gathering books from grand company
What's there general consensus on all tombstones (Poetics, Allegory, Revelations) and Scrips going into EW? Cap out on everything? Buy stuff to sell?
cap and convert after
Reg raids too
assuming you didn't own everything you can get with Allegory and Revelation
Wouldn't you over cap once it's converted?
you convert manually
NPC in mor dhona
any ps4 players predownloading endwalker? if so i dont know how to predownload and play right when it drops
I think i need to do it synced I did not receieve any credit when i did it unsynced
should i desynth/get rid of all armory chest belts before endwalker maintenance? if i leave them, will the removal of them take up time logging in?
shouldn't matter either way
should i convert my HQ base mats to non high quality? or will i still be able to do that after the patch?
if you don't need to remove materia from them, you can just desynth/GC them now
you can convert after patch, and you also don't have to since you can still use HQ in recipes, only point is stacking your HQ and NQ stacks to free up space
They will be sent to calamity salvager after patch, you can claim them there and desynth etc
How many yalms are in a malm?
they should have materia in as well so no need to remove it beforehand
How many yards are in a mile
Fucking imperials...
1760
would I be able to do unsynced Alexander savage raids myself at lvl 90?
Some of them
Some NEED multiple people
One or two have mechanics that will cause instant death if you are solo
One that comes to mind is the judgement thing
at 90 it might be easier to solo but honestly a9s is super fast with a group now
Each run lasts for all of 90 seconds and absolutely nothing can hurt you
did you guys desynth all your belts?
Before logging off yes
what is the fastest 80 shadowbringer dungeon?
Oh yeah, what do I do with all my belts? Just sell them?
can do other fights than A9S for light solo, but whether it's any better than just running brayflox hard in 2mins though, not sure
sell or desynth
Belts will all go to the calamity salvager
You can get them from there after the patch
Sell to GC for GC seals
you are not going to lose anything if you don't unequip or sell/desynth them before 6.0
except materia right
No
Brayflox is Heavensward?
arr
You will be able to reclaim materia from calamity salvager belts according to the patch notes
brayflox hard is ARR, but still gives light for anima and is usually the recommended way to farm solo
when does the game go down for maint?
little under 8½ hours from now
!maint
Oh, that doesn't work here?
ok, ty
Is there gonna be maintenance on Endwalker release too?
Official release, no
likely yes, but a short one
there was one last 2 expansions
like 1h30 and 3h or something like that
not 24h
Ahh
hotfix maintenance
I didn't get anything for completing Brayflox for anima
Ah okay
I skipped through most of the side quest cutscenes in bozja and other raids, is there a way to rewatch them?
The Unending Journey book in an inn room, or run through the storylines again in New Game +
Does this server have a channel or carry system to organize raid groups? I waited 45m for the Alexander savage raids before I just gave up 
Use party finder
I know other games use discord to organize groups sometimes, so I was just wondering if that was an option here
the end is nigh
So is Red Mage basically
Using thunder and wind to build gauge, corps in, unleash combo, then jump away?
What's the point of all the mobs around the map if they aren't really for xp or loot?
Acceleration for the respective fire or stone added in or when ot ticks
Yeah, also you don’t need to jump away, you can just stick in the boss’s ass like a melee
acceleration to guarantee procs
which helps your opener be more predictable, for example
Un.... Feature of MMO?
Blue Mage needs them!

Is the aoe in dungeons below 50 just spamming Thunder 2 and 1
Ambient decoration!
for challenge log dungeon runs, do they need to be done synced?
!faq rdmaoe
Well in most mmo's there are tons of quests that utilize the mobs, but it seems like most of the mobs from FFXIV are instanced lol
Blessed
Ty bud
You basically verthunder 2 / veraero 2 into Impact/Scatter
Yeah, I think the mobs are shared by all players in the zone tho.
Just that there aren’t much reason to kill them
Well, there's hunts, for example
Also before you get Impact, you can also just Thunder 2 into Thunder 2
daily hunt marks are just normal mobs scattered around the maps
hell even the higher tier marks are just mobs wandering around somewhere on the maps
Ayyy
Sometimes with long respawn timers
I just opened it up a few days ago after not playing since probably January or December so if nothing else... wet your feet and practice your combo on them
How long till maint?
8 hours
type !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
Get ready for flipped tables when everyone rushing here tomorrow gets told the maintenance is 24hrs
you definitely dont need to be sync to get the challenge log credit. i often gotten that challenge log done while doing my WT
Same, but I was glam farming
logging out in the Rising Stones is fine right?
yep
Probably a safe bet if you want to jump right into MSQ
Just bought EW for the early access on Steam. Do I need to activate something somewhere?
!faq mogstation
I think I just misread the number
hey so i just relinquished my house so that my friend's fc could buy it, and i did not get my wallpapers or my lighting fixtures, or floors. They arent in my inventory, chocobo saddlebag or anything. I still have the house permit and was wondering if it was tied into that? I plan on changing servers today. I couldn't really find much help online but i also really suck at googling
Check the housing attendant that is scattered around the zone
i checking the resident caretaker and they have nothing for me
so i can just buy endwalker and i own everything before by extension?
You should also have access to them during early access if you get your preorder code registered
What time is maintenance?
Or rather, how many hrs from now? I can't read timezones x.x
So when EW hits do the cryptlurker gear that now use poetic to buy go immediately to 530 or is it still 520 and we need to upgrade it manually?
9am st
For 24 hrs
In about 9 hours and 30 mins from now
Oohhh thank you! Still have some time to play then 
Oh yeah 7 hours and 30 mins
so i've heard a new boost is coming out this friday most likely, will that put you in the same place as everyone else msq wise?
It'll put you at 80
nah im talking about the story skip
lol idc about the story in this game at all tbh, just want to raid with friends.
You'd have to be a psychopath to have an alt in this game
D: I'm hurt
so if u buy the lvl 80 boost and story skip it puts you where everyone else is going to be come launch day?
I think so
Pretty much yeah
sick ty
Where would be the best place to log out?
I read something along the lines of logging out at the rising stones would be optimal
Ul'dah inn for Reaper
ye
Depends what you want to do first
For instance queues in rising stones for MSQ?
I mean why would it be faster to log out at rising stones for MSQ?
or Ul'dah for that case for reaper
summoner rework here we comeee
Because MSQ starts in rising stones
you get out of the inn, reaper is across the street
sage you gotta take the elevator so that kinda blows
It's faster if you're already there
So besides it being a 5 second optimization there is no other reason?
also, i don't trust the aetheryte 
I thought queues would be slightly faster if you'd log out in an inn or something because of instance related stuff
Nah queues are queues
You'll load in quicker after que pop
so you can use the tp quicker
Regardless of where you log out
10 second optimization then
I'll log out at rising stones lol
MSQ time baby
I can safely sell my belts on all jobs right?
Also the equipped ones
You can but there's no need to do it now
They will be going to the calamity salvager
I just wanna get rid of em
so you can get them from there
I'm at the markets anyways so whatever
might as well sell
Just wanted to know if it's safe
which it probably is but whatever
I mean if you're not planning to do anything else before maintenance then yeah
Might as well
so i bought the summoner class boost thing and i claimed it and its not in my inventory
ye just logging out
Do AMD cards have problems with ffxiv? I just started playing and it keeps crashing for no reason
You'll get an item in the moogle mail to use
Probably a new one
They showed another set of wings as an accessory in the patch notes
Way too big to be a gear piece imo
yeah i went through all of my items and its not here
i see, if you equip and accessory, do they show up in dungeons ?
I can be your Fairey or your dibols
ahhh ok
Or cutscenes, or talk to npcs
Fashion accessories need more work
But that's another item for the "nice to have" list
Can’t wear em on mounts
Where do I spend stormblood and shadowbringers totems?
Rhalgr and Eulmore
So people who play with both controller and keyboard, how difficult is it to switch between the two?
ty
Like, when you want to switch, do you just change a UI profile
From what I've seen, more awkward than difficult
And bam?
You've built up different muscle memory
Yeah I think I’m not super worried about muscle memory
I’m only doing casual stuff like gathering or questing
My plan is
I dont think that counts as really switching between the two
Like when you switch, you don’t need to set up you UI every time right?
Cool
Make sense
is it not always possible to move to another home world with the paid service? zodiark not showing for me
What about switching Screen resolution?
You can macro it with the job changes if you want
Since my TV is 4K
Probably not when it's closed for new characters
I’m thinking about connecting my PC to a TV, then play with controller
!status zodiark
I guess I just have to go try it out lol
yeah it looks like its still available
does bahamut raid count for the dungeon challenge log?
was trying to do it now real quick
ok thanks
Where will we be able to exchange the level 80 tomestones to Poetic?
When 6.0 releases on fri
Eulmore or crystarium sundry splendor
how frequent does the new character status change for home worlds?
yeah sorry
it changes based on how many people are currently logged in
wasnt sure how often to check back and see
i'm so confused by collectibles and i dont' even know what to google for help. i thought i was supposed to mine them and then turn them in for xp so i mined a shitload of clinquant stones and no one will take them/i can't evenf ind them on any webstie when i search for specific timers
So apparently even though my launch icon and loading screen to start the game has said Shadowbringers since I started playing, I in actuality only have up to Heavensward. I'm not sure what purchase method I should be doing right now to get going forward? Do I just buy one after the other?
Too low collectiblity
Collectibles have a minimum collectiblity requirement to be turned in
Those are for custom deliveries
We do get extreme fights in expac releases right?
Yes
You can't turn them in to the normal collectible appraiser
yeah the item is not appearing at all should i contact support?
ahhhh
The two levelling trials will have their exs
I'll ask one more time: To get from Heavensward to Endwalker, do I have to buy all three subsequent expansions separately, or is there a way to like get them compacted and save money?
i just wanna get to 80
If Kai-shirr is accepting them this week you can turn them in
Just buy EW. It comes with SB and ShB
Last minute endwalker prep, do I need to do all the level 80 job quests? (side quests) or are they just optional stuff?
No
Okay thank you
ok tysm
I didn't want to spend more money than I have to
hey guys i seem to be having trouble downloading starter edition through steam, do i need to uninstall free trial edition in order to get it to work?
Optional
I can't believe I bought a version of the game that not only cost money but has had me spend over 100 dollars in subscription fees all for content that's available in the free trial.
Quite salty lol
I basically paid for better login queues and that's it
wut
question: but does the collectors edition endwalker includes other dlc as well ie. shadowbringer if I may kindly ask?
all endwalker editions do
Back about over a year ago I bought the game. Some sort of "complete edition" that made me think I had everything up to Shadowbringers, but I'm now learning was just up to Heavensward and was simply a collectors edition of ARR. @hallow remnant
tbf that's on you
ya that sounds liek user error
Read before you buy
that's like rule #1 of buying
It was lierally called "Complete Edition"
So I'm assuming I just need to wait for endwalker to release to get all of the dlc unlock as well?
the complete edition has all the xpacs
You will get stormblood and shadowbringers on the 7th
Im js
buying this game is the worst fucking part of this game lol
I made the same mistake
Highly appreciated mate, thanks for the info and have a lovely day :3
then what version did I buy? I need to look at my account history
it sounds like you bought the collector's edition
most likely collector's
and not complete
like you said
Why is that even available three expansions in?!
can i buy endwalker before offcial relesae and play the early access after 2 days
which no offense but there's no one to blame for that but you
Yes
comes with rewards
Becuase it's Starter Edition
nah lol man this game has the most confusing buying process of any game I've ever played
And it even required me to PAY a subscription fee cuz I didn't load up the free trial version
i dont blame anyone for making mistakes tbf
even if the early access released ?
its no different in wow. you can buy digital versions of old collectors for the free dlc items basically
Do you want to buy the base game, or do you want to buy the base game + dlc
You need at the very least to buy Starter
Complete edition is the same as buying Starter + Latest expansion
but again its not erally their fault you bought the item that isn't the thing you wanted
Yes but you can't register your code til after maintenance so you're gonna be smack bang at the end of the queue
Except it's pretty much on the user to not read what they're buying.
I's a confusing purchase structure and you can't convince me otherwse.
Reading is not that hard
how is ARR Collectors edition confusing
Either way, this isn't the place to argue about it
kinda agree to this since I had issues with the code as well with the not clear instructions
yes, we all know that the buying process is a bit convoluted
So @leaden ginkgo either buy register your preorder in the next 7 hours or you're gonna have to wait 31 hours
Tell that to every misleading advertising argument that has gone to court. The defendent could just say "You didn't read."
Please
bad argument to make to an actual lawyer
i have the code but i cant register it cuz i register a Cancelled ew before 2 weeks
also i chceked and the store doesn't even sell ARR CE
only way you can buy it is mogstation
Either way
Drop time
ARR CE is sold ons team lol
I think that still counts to give you ea, but youll need to buy and register the full game within a week
Hi all - I've seen some people recommending capping tomestones for the launch - what is the best use of those? holding them to get 90 gear? buyin sets of 80 gear?
Well yes but actually no, steam sells starter ce
oh idk about steam
lot of buying problems seem to stem from doing it through steam
i bough it no worrys but i cant apply rn cuz its said i already have ew @warm snow
Your tomes can be exchanged for more poetics
You won't be able to use current tomes to get level 90 gear
i need to wait until SE update my mogsation
I was about to ask how to buy the game and now I'm even more confused lol
i just don't understand why you'd look at all teh options, Shadowbringers, Complete Edition, Starter Edition, or ARR Collectors Edition
That's just early access, you'll need to register the actual expansion code during early access
and think that the ARR collectors edition was the oine that had all the xpacs
Another code ? or the same one they gave me
!faq product
Different code
It'll be sent out around early access
Will e4s actually be soloable when Endwalker hits
no lmfao
Depends where you bought Endwalker from
oh right - so all current tomes get exchanged to poetics then. And my best use for them is just picking up some 80 sets?
offcial SE store
At least it can be unsynced
Either way i didn't realize Endwalker came with previous DLC Lol so i ended up buying complete edition and Endwalker
Good luck solo'ing one expansion back
You'll get a second code during early access
me too but i wanted to play the last 3 months
You can barely solo Alex Savages
quantity 2
random
I want the glams from e4s tho
Set while levelling, random after
Random but you can check timers to see all of them from one location
best bet will be PF again then
so after Endwalker release all people will get their new code and have to apply it to play the expansion right ?
oh thats lucky
yes
Yes
You did mean to buy 2 right? Just checking
It's a kill for a friend guys
thanks for checking.
If I preordered EW through Steam then does that mean I have to wait until the "official" release date?
nah
No you got a preorder code and a game code
Right click game > manage > cd keys
Redeem preorder now
What the average ilvl of gear would I need to complete job quest lv60-70 for all dps class w/o progressing MSQ. I’m currently only wearing shire gear.
You can redeem the game code during early access
Where should I log off for Endwalker? I hear you shouldnt log off in Limsa
Depends on the job
Limsa inn for sage
Uldah inn for reaper
Rising Stones for MSq
Dnc expects scaevan gear
depends what you wanna do first
Hm I must have some setting wrong, it doesn't show up in my library
Inn room
Was confuse a little as to why I have to wait till the 7th to get access to shadowbringers but now I know its because of the early access
how do you get promoted from 2nd to 1st flame lt?
Would it be better for me to just buy common lv80 gear?
pretty neat
Squadrons
is rising stones an instant ?
Yes it's the backroom in mor dhona, you never see other players there despite all msq post 2.1 starting and ending there
should i put my character there instead on inn
im slow
when does the maintenace start again
When you enter the chat box says it in an instance
Up to you
Depends on what you plan on doing once the maintenance finishes
7 hours
An instanced area without players will log you in faster
I'm gonna log out in uldah cuz I want to grab the other jobs before I start msq

can you still get pre-order bonuses for endwalker?
you wanna start ew as reaper : O
cool, where do i get the pre-order key from for the earrings if i get it through steam?
okay, more reasonable question
No, I just have job bars in my hud with blank spots for reaper and sage that have been bothering me for months
What's the difficulty spike from sosex to e4s
Not that high
Or should I start at e1s
First tier savage is always easy
Do we know what level we have to be to unlock Reaper/Sage?
Ta

Register preorder key on mogstation
Right click the game in steam and find your CD keys in that menu.
i see. HF there 
Also, where is Ul'Dah inn? Don't think I have ever been there
In adventurers guild
so, i haven't logged in in like 3 months and somehow all of my jobs are missing gear. Did they change anything or something? This is super weird.
Cheers
Is this "Waiting for opening..." Waitlist normal for MSQ solo instances?
Right now it really shouldn't be
Unless all the yanks have been procrastinating their ms-
nothing's changed in the last 3 months that would explain that
Actually that makes sense
I'm at 15min rn idk
would downloading the Character Settings from the character menu affect that? Shit's weird.
When is maintenance happening for EST?
hello. if i want to redownload my game, i already have a backup file for my configs, how/where do i do that exactly? i recently changed from console to pc so still new to this stuff
That could have affected gearsets, but not the gear itself.
Did i dream that you could unlock dark knight at lvl 30??
Gear sets are client side so whatever you downloaded was out of date
Yes

"start at lvl30" AH
Ah, that explains a lot. Probably what happened. Just need to find the other things in my inventory mess. thank you so much, guys!
Inventory order is also client side so yeah
you can just use the option to equip the best gear for your job in the character screen
You can hide names. The default keybind is to hold X, or just turn them off in nameplate settings. Can't hide people's characters though.
Thanks
With the retry on wondrous tales, do you get to pick the duty you want to mark as incomplete or does it pick it by random?
Scarily I rushed 9 ifrit EXs and almost got 3 lines today
if my pf party is running into issues queueing from reserving server, should i drop and requeue or just wait it out?
Thanks!
It means you're in a que cause all instance servers are full
You might want to get used to it
I guess all the yanks are playing catch up
bad time for me to catch up as well >w>
I mean you've had like 3 months...
ok i turned in my belts, what else? i'm still in 3.2, do i have to do anything?
No
Ditch the belts, redeem preorder of earrings and twin if you really want them cuz you won't be able to get them later
That's about all you can do below level 70
ahhhhhhh the only thing I :need" to do with my belts tonight is "Extract materia"
right
that has high proio
How do I pay for an extra retainer? I can't seem to find the option
how long is maint?
Manage service options
24h
O_O
Can we still exchange the Fete tokens after EW came out? does anyone know?
Wow didn't even let me get to 2
Fetes we don't know the full deal on
But token exchanges have never gone away
You can still exchange shit from 3.0 diadem
Or old glamour prisms
Thanks God, I still have 200+ present but no inventory space to open them xD
what is this unscheduled 15.3 mb download in my library for?
Hell if I know
weird
You're gonna be downloading Endwalker in 18 hours give or tske
But that'll be through the launcher
yeah
What happens if you have belts in the FC Chest?
yeah bought standard edition after having free edition
They become unequippable
Same as if they're in the inventory
One more potentially really dumb question about endwalker codes. I already have it for the windows version, so the steam codes won't work for me (from my understanding). My friend DOES have steam however. So I was thinking that to keep it a surprise, I would purchase it on my account and then give them a copy of the codes for their birthday. Will this work, or will steam try to do something stupid with the codes?
Should work on paper
Might want to give them that pre order code now though since early access starts Friday and mogstation goes down in like 6 hours
From a software engineer perspective thay sounds unnecessarily complicated so I doubt it but you never knoe
i cant put in the expansion registration code i got through steam on mogstation until after maintenance right
and after maintenance when endwalker early access goes up ill get stormblood and shadowbringers?
The store page says you won't get access to SB/ShB until the 7th
thats fine
Well that's weird
is there xp food you can buy for 3% more from market board?
No
No
lmao first queue as paid is longer than any queue i had as free
mgp pplatinum limit
everyones getting that time in before maint.
A billion afaik
Do I have to buy endwalker before the 3rd to get the early access or can I still get into it if I buy endwalker on the 3rd?
It’s probably because Free trail can’t get in the actual queue
Free trail can only wait in the “login gates queue”
Free trail can’t even see the “server volume gates queue”
And all the Americans were procrastinating msq
They're clogging their own instance servers rn
could someone help me do eureka? Im at the start of it. Im on gilgamesh
Hearing about servers clogging is making me worried,
I should try login too just to check 
Lad, it's 6 hours til expansion launch maintenance, now is a terrible time to start eureka
Yeah
It's gonna be completely barren for like a mongh
It’s a bit too terrible
Lol fair enough
I don't usually say this about ff14 content but give up
Also Eureka takes a lot of time
Takes a week or 2 if you focus tbb
Does anyone know what area I can buy level 80 gear? Somehow I don't have the correct stats for Amaurot
guys what is the music that plays during the ||nadaam||?
Just wanted the armour for my dragoon but fair enough ill leave it for a bit
Go back to grenoldt
Did you get the artifact gears from grenoldt?
Those are i430
And should be enough to put you in amaurot
Anyone do this great ship vylbrand thing it put me in q for it
If they can't get into amaurot 100% they don't
Yeah free 430 gear
Ill go back and take a look. Thank you
tbh I’m pretty sure something is wrong with SE servers right now
How will new viera hairstyles be available? If its on mgp then how do we know it applies to viera?
There shouldn’t be THAT much people rushing MSQ on last second
i think they dont
good idea to log out at gangos? if i wanna level reapa
Yeah
But I don't think that's enough to cause any congestion
Omg so I'm softlocked in the msq
Yeah its really messy rn, my static group couldn't run tonight cuz a few ppl kept dcing
!expansion
I’m just not gonna login anymore
No, because you still need to go to... Gridania (?) to unlock it
uldah
Hardly matters where you are before you get reaper
to unlcok reeapa?
yes

ah welp then uda inn
Exact coordinates
This one need a clean up
any level 35-37 quests I can take for leveling?
to get to western thanalan from limsa lominsa do i just wait on the docks?
That's way too many text lol
I gotta get DRK to level 38 by tonight
thats why there are smaller, expansion specific FAQs
Dungeons
I just need the last kick to get me there
Side quests are shit exp
Why do you need 38?
because by the end of tonight, my XP will round back down to 0
Personal goal?
meaning I have to do level 37 all over again
they're level 32
Coerthas central highlands
got it
oh my I cant believe I missed the gear from grenoldt. It was right there 
Hows the contenet between expansions? Never played a game where i had to pay monthly to play lol so just hoping they fill in with a lot of content
Pay monthly to play
But yeah, there is quite a lot of content
If you run out of content you don’t have to pay and play tho
Okay so, I applied my Endwalker pre-order bonus code & my mogstation says I have Endwalker early access
However, I tried to debit & my bank blocked the charge
Gotta call your bank to let it through
Main content patches come every 3.5-4 months or so
Will I have access to EW early access when servers come up or no?
ye
New patch content every 6-8 weeks, plenty of other shit in the mwantime
It's a sign. My bank blocked me from buying 30 dollars worth of primogems on genshin today
Yeah, I submitted a ticket to SE support to find the date/time of the transaction since I've bought several friends the game lately & idk which one is the one that got blocked (mine), also had to cancel another order so.. Lots of confusion atm
I asked square enix support directly about it. The pre-order code is good till March 2022. Including the bonus items.
I mean yeah, but wouldn't you rather give them the early access as opposed to just giving them Endwalker with some extra items
I still personally strongly recommend not timing those types of gifts on the birthday
But this is coming from someone who just really hates birthdays...
Also, what if they get Endwalker themselves in the time between now and said birthday
I would strongly recommend just giving them everything now
So uh is it normally for solo duties for have queues
No
Instance servers are struggling atm
But all the Americans evidently decided to procrastinate catching up on msq
are dark lanner and auspicious kamuy like what nightmare mount in arr is for heavensward and stormblood?
No
Nightmare is a weird one off that only exists in arr
no, they are more like the actual horses
All the other ones a re locked to a specific fight
like Boreas or any of the others that I can't remember the name of
I just finished Heavensward when the delay was announced and bought SHB and god damn if my plan to speed through Stormblood/Shadowbringers is mucked up by queue times I'll be damned
Don’t worry it’s very likely it will!
Pretty sure that's mogstation
I wanna but I literally can't enjoy the end of 5.55 at this rate not til EW comes out :/
Hey do you think its possible that I can finish Stormblood MSQ (not post SB) by the 12 am maintenance? I am at the level 67 quests atm
Yeah, sorry dude but from the sound of things you're sol
Not at the current rate
All the na instance servers are being spammed
At this point I'm just gonna wait another 50 minutes and if this doesn't work I'll just hop on right after work Friday
Wait can you explain to a noob what this means lol

Everyone decided to do the story at the same time
Where are you in the story?
Gridania was a mess
And are overloading the server that puts people into solo story duties
Literally the last current quest in the msq
Yeah I think you can also do it on Friday, no big deal
Dungeons, and solo content all run as individual instances separate from the overworld, with everyone doing the main story people are overloading the servers that run those
Yee
That’s not a lot of progress behind
ahh gotcha thanks
true true
You're right at the credits, but unfortunately you're probably out of luck, instance servers will be barren at the stsrt
Are duties also mucked rn? Maybe I'll level my red mage instead
Maybe monday
I’ve been hesitant to upgrade to Windows 11 since there has been no news about FFXIV support, but I’m also looking to perform a factory reset on my PC ahead of Endwalker’s release to free up storage space on my puny 128 GB SSD. What should I do?
Don't
You can go grind fates
14 devs will let us know when windows 11 is supported
why is determination success rate so low in ARR materia relic step
I wouldn't risk a premature upgrade
Because you've melded a lot of det already
Rate goes down the more of that type of materia you've melded
no the rate is much lower than other materia
But if I reset my PC now, will it install Windows 11 automatically or stick with Windows 10?
Maybe I am too desperate to make preparations
Wait what? I’m pretty sure windows don’t auto upgrade to 11
ehhh, wouldn't that mean determination is kinda bad efficient wise if ur making the relic on F2P
Is there any concise list of job changes anywhere? I’m bad at Google and am just finding videos or articles with lots of ads throughout them
Probably, yes
but somehow determination materia is the most common when i extract materia
Nah, not really yet, recommendation is waiting a day
Gamerescape site
Thanks
You can search up the job name and then there’s a tab to look at EW stuff
But generally pretty good
But note that this website will update to 6.0 stuff at some point during maintenance
Ty
so when are full patch notes most likely to come out, during maintenance?
Yeah I think so
Has the moon looked fuller lately?
wait so it could be by tonight even?
Yeah maybe
i was expecting like a few hours before maintenance would end
no the moon ingame has not changed
not within it starting
The moon hasn’t changed in appearance.
Depends on what “night” means
it has phases that change over time as it always has
right, timezones
but yeah maint starts at 5pm for me later so full patch notes could come out within the evening? cool
The full ones wait for maintenance to start since they can sometimes have changes related to tradable items
So SE doesn’t indirectly cause market changes before the changes happen
when you make a free company, if you fall under 4 members will it disband or stay as a fc?
Stay as FC
you can be in an FC all by yourself
im fairly sure ive seen FCs with one member
I just need the 4 members initially and they can go back to their own FC?
some people will just go around asking strangers to help them start a company
and then just kick them or let them leave after
Hey so I know belts are gonna be obsolete soon but I need a belt for a dungeon
What's a decent one I can buy for lvl 80 Healer with no money wasted
The queues are shit for the other roles so
ilevel 490
I already have most of the exarchic set
Gonna be picking up Sage, been a Black Mage for years. What general healer info should i know when making the switch, any advice?
so just downloaded FF and am f2p. kinda lost what should i be doing? played eso and wow a ton but never ff
you don't need to keep everyone at 100% health at all times, healers need to contribute DPS as well. Sage being a shield healer means you'll need to be predictive, use your shields to prevent damage when you know a tankbuster or raidwide is coming
!faq healer guide
!faq healerguide
These have a lot of fundamentals
Does anyone know if there's a proper way to transfer your Benchmark character into the main game, so I can just pick the preset out the gate?
Or does it auto detect or something when the full game is out?
A main tip is to try to use your cooldowns before your GCD heals
@primal gull @obsidian patio Cheer's
Use your cooldowns, that's what they're there for
It should auto detect assuming you didn’t uninstall the benchmark files
yeah I still have them there, did it yesterday
Don't hold them because "oh I might need them" (unless you're literally planning to use a specific cooldown for a specific mechanic)
immediately when 6.0 launches can I start transmuting grade VIII materia into grade IX or do I have to wait until I'm level 90
Oh shit my position went under 50 🙂 🙂 🙂
Anyone on playstation wanna play final fantasy xiv
Maintenance is in 5 hours
Doesn't hurt to play
what all cant f2p players do?
Immediately
!faq freetrial
ty

What
I’ll just delete that duplicate
how long do you guys estimate post shb to take?
10 hours...?
So wait, they're giving the stats back in the stat squish for old content in the form of a boosted echo right?
For me like 13 hours?
Yeah
I did an update a day though, doubling on 5.5 and 5.55 today tho
So trampling old content shouldn’t be more difficult that what it was
Cause you're like barely not hitting enrage already
What’s Azure and Omega?
O4S, O8S, O12S no echo synced 8 blue mages
I'm sure they will adjust it properly so that it's still doable
Later patches will add more Blue stuff with will make it easier I presume
What do I do with orchestration rolls?
you use them
Eat them
Learn them and then you can play them in an inn room/apartment/house
If you can’t then sell them
You might already know it
When I last played, they didn’t have the scrolls I think. Way back when HW released
is it a full orchestrion roll or a faded copy of one?
Full orchestration. I do have 1 faded
If it's a faded copy it has to be restored by an ALC
Oh yeah, does Omega do another Hello World after 2 or is it just Archive, Index and Archive, Patch and Archive All?
No third Hello World
Nope he goes into the enrage phase
Can I start turning in the wondrous tales as soon as I log in to level up or do I need to accept the MSQ first (99% sure I can get expo whenever but I'm asking anyway)
Program Omega-buncha ion effluxes-hard enrage ion efflux with dialogue
yep, can turn in the WT the moment you get into game @ivory iris
You can turn it in as soon as you log in
is there a good way to level fast as f2p?
Do the msq
!faq altjobleveling
but msq is the primary way to level.
Any Singaporean players? I’m trying to buy Endwalker from the square Enix store but SG isn’t listed on the available countries at checkout

So what country do I put at checkout? LOL
just to be sure, the full game codes haven't been sent out yet right? i presume they'll be sent during maint 
It’s not Early access yet so probably not
ok weird question, so for stuff like jute that takes a long time to grow and gets pissy fast, is that going to die during maint if it's tended right before it goes down?
if you have crops
you should put them in storeroom
just to be safe
as being in the store room, they will not continue to grow
Do we really need to take off our clothes before logging off tonight?
if you're fantasia'ing yes
Ohh
if you don't intend to race change, then no

hey wait, the tomestone event, will it run until the 7th or is it gonna end after maintenance?
Kael I don't need to do anything else with my belts before remove soulbound materia right
any instanced area, so think inns, barracks, waking sands, rising stones, etc
Maintenance
No
