oh crap i forgot to do custom deliveries for white scrips to get the 500 ilvl gear
with the expansion i wont be able to farm whites only yellows yes ?
Yo, do we know when we can start the download of the thingy?
White scrips are still in the game
Yellows are being removed
Red scrips got axed
Soon™️
Shit
Anyone knows?
The only timeframe we have is in the afternoon for JP
dont i need to be lvl 90 to farm them tho ?
that's a good thing, you'll still get white scrips tomorrow but you will also get xp
I think they will be the new yellow scrips
white scrips will buy everything now
iirc they add purple scrips
Yes, pre-order is available until the 7th
purple are 90
Aright ty
should i even bother to get gatherer ilvl 500 though?
i500 gear will help with leveling
or just get 90 and farm other gear
assuming you aren't in aesthete already
Where I can see this?
well if it gets %chance in diadem up to 100% then sure it will help
diadem's not going to be that great for 80-90 leveling
1000 xp turn ins
leves then ?
leves , 80-90 collectables, and the new stadium deliveries
New facet deliveries, leves, collectibles
about complete land(saint?)
Official job guide website.
land/handsaint is fine yes
so wait, every tank got a bunch of new self-healing abilities, but DRK actually got theirs removed in single target situations? jeez
idea is basically the same as getting poetic gear
yikes
Thank you! c:
carries you a bit into 80-90, so dont have to worry about new gear for awhile. crafting/gather can probably get way with using the i500 gear until 90
but depends on the changes tbh
so the patch notes arent out yet ?
For ShB the old SB scrip gear lasted until 80 for me, so hopefully the same happens again.
they are
but that doesn't necessarily mean we know how the leveling experience is going to be
i see
for dol/doh and whether i500 is going to carry you all the way to 90 or if you may want to pick up some new pieces after like 85
that said, it most likely will
they've been basically making leveling doh/dol a lot easier for the most part
We also don't have details on new gear, so for all we know there could be level 81 gear that outclasses the old scrip gear right away
Probably won't. But we don't know for sure
did the dancer procs change?
I believe AoE and single target procs are now shared
where can i read changes for DRK or MIN for example ?
Unless something changed since the media tour build
neat
The job guide on the lodestone
oh
why did they gut paladin melee aoe
their entire melee aoe kit got potency reductions
the damage formula has been changed, so yes some skills have lower potencies
but that does not necessarily mean it is a nerf
Have you not heard of ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO STAT CHANGES ACROSS THE BOARD
no i have not
stat squish
they've only been talking about it since like the first Endwalker live letter
yes
For some reason I got another code from Newegg
technically a stat squish should not lower potencies because its a percentage
That's the full game code after maint finishes
Not exactly
The potency math is fucky and per job
ok
More changed than just "reduce all numbers by X%". Calculations in the background have changed too
so stat squish is lowering potencies across all jobs ?
And because we don't have access to the server calculations we'll have to wait for the game to go live before the math majors can make the new formulas
Hello, new to the server! I would love to ask something: Is there a way to pay for more than one year of subscription?
Got it, thanks!
what time does maintenance start
It already has
and it last 24 ?
Yes, it is expected to
sweeet
Okay so I’m swapping from console to pc and I just bought the Endwalker digital collector edition
Oh okay
reaper starts at lv50?
70
Requires: Disciple of War or Magic level 70
F
Is there a reason I can’t buy the digital standard edition
From which store?
The main website
Are you getting an error? Or just not finding it?
Sorry for bad quality
everything is down for maintenance
Ohhh of course
in advance of endwalker launching tomorrow.
Am I seeing things or does it say the maintenance is 24 hours
you'd be correct.

When does it end west coast time?
Wait i'm trying to register my early access key but i'm getting an error, is it because it's in maintenance?
does anyone know when you can start download 6.0
12 hours from now
Some people have said they registered theirs during maintenance. What's the error?
Roughly
Just saying invalid key, i'm on the right section too since i'm on the pre-order one
right, roughly
Do we know where the quest to unlock ishgard housing is going to be?
1am
roughly
Foundation (X:9.9 Y:11.8)
are you puting in the pre order key or the standard key
Ruff Lee
the pre order one
Thank you
I'm legit scared that i won't be able to register the key and that i will have to wait until the 7th to play because for some reason it's not working 
Where are you entering it?
Just to double check, buying just endwalker gives access to every expac right?
If you're sure you're on the right page (Enter Pre-Order Code button, or something similar), then maybe wait until maintenance ends and try again. If it still doesn't work after that, contact support.
Nice thx
so i preordered EW, i enter one or two codes?
On the pre order (early access) code tab
Hmm strange
Can I buy now and still have access to EA?
Only the preorder code for now. The main EW code can't be entered yet
If you don't own it yet, you have to wait until the 7th as that's when the main EW code can be registered
I believe it's been said shb and stb won't be accessible until 7th (when you enter EW code)
Does that mean I wouldn't be able to start endwalker or would I just not have access to SB?
You can't start endwalker without doing sb & shb
If you already have sb/ShB you can buy and have early access right away
if you don't have sb/shb, you won't have them until EW releases
Context: beat every expac on ps4, buying new on pc and wanting to start endwalker
Do we know if the Endwalker Trusts will need to be leveled from 71 to 90 or are they 2 seperate brackets? 71-80 and 81-90?
You dont

I won't officially own the other expacs until the 7th so I'm asking if I can start endwalker still
There's two separate modes for trusts
But I have beaten them on my account already
Story and actual levelling
that situation is complicated, as you will not have sb/shb on PC until the 7th, but as long as you move your char in an ARR/HW zone and then just do EW content it should work
No, the story is linear
oh good. i never leveled them in shadowbringers. would suck if i hate to go back to shadowbringers to level them up outside of story content
they should be 2 seperate sets of trusts
I don't know where my character is right now
Will it lock me out of the game until 7th then?
So have you bought endwalker on ps4 ?
well you'll have to log on PS4 if it's in another zone, do you not have your PS4 anymore or?
I don't have the game downloaded on ps4
also: if you register your full game code before december 7th will it lock you out of early access until the 7th?
no
are there any parts of EW players can access (for early access) if they are still in Stormblood?
Dumb question but i bought endwalker on square website and i'm trying to use the pre order key on my mog station, it always result in a invalid key error thing, is it because my account type is (Steam) ?
ok
The jobs
Yes
!faq steam
Also bunny boys
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
xd
You can still refund it since it's not the full Endwalker key
@manic flare anything that's not the story/new area, so Bunny boi, new classes and all the overall changes to the game(although these you don't even need EW)
I'd recommend doing so
what about the Stardew Valley like farming system?
Later patch
Oh ok, i just send them a ticket on the square website?
I believe so
Aight thx
Has nobody ever been in a situation like mine before? Would've figured it would be pretty common as people hop platforms
Have you bought it on ps4
I don't care if it's downloaded lol
well I explained how it SHOULD work, but the situation isn't that common no
I have every expac on ps4 except endwalker
Because I'm buying endwalker on pc
And they don't transfer over
I play on steam and PS5 (PS4 until ps5 version launched)
You'll need to buy the base game on PC as well as the expansion, or the complete edition that includes both
yes they will refund you.
I'm buying base game + endwalker (which comes with all expacs). Endwalker code can't be input until release, I would like to play EA. And here we are
I'd download the game on PS4 once the downloads are up and move your char if it's not logged off in an ARR/HW zone, and then do EW, but you won't be able to do Bozja for example @vernal surge
but that's just assuming it works like that
Hello, 11 Hours Till the Expansion, does that mean the update will start after these 11 hours? Or is it already started ?
I sent a request to the support directly
👍
The download is expected to be available a few hours before maintenance ends, but it's not guaranteed
I can't log in on ps4 because I'm not subbed rn, I'm hoping to use the base XIV I buy on pc for the sub. Maybe I can download on pc then log in on ps4
Patch should start being downloadable around afternoon japanese time
This is how your mogstation should look (only endwalker won't be flagged for PS as well)
You can put in the endwalker pre-order code on mogstation (did mine today for steam) but not the full registration until official launch
Base XIV on a new platform comes with 30 days
Correct free play days are universal to your mogstation account
Well I was waiting for months, what's few hours now 💙 Also Thank You 4 Replying@strange coral
you could register on PC, then download on PS4 yeah
and the page won't look like that in this case
it'll likely show PS4 ARR/HW/SB/ShB and PC ARR/HW/EW preorder, and no SB/ShB
I guess worst comes to worst I "burn" 7 days and download XIV on ps4 again
but that should still work properly as long as you're not stuck in an SB/ShB area
Once I do this I'll make note of it in case anyone is in my situation
@uneven tendon do you by chance know when we get the Sony key for official release?
Because I'm surprised no one has ever tried to play EA on a new platform
someone was asking the same thing earlier but yeah don't think anyone had a definite answer, should work but who kows
You don't need a sony key as it's all done through PS account
I'll take the fall I guess lol
No word on when we can download yet?
People do hop platforms all the time, but EA is something that only comes up for a few days every 2 years. Combining that makes it much less common.
Will I get a different one for Steam official release?
I'm sure some ppl tried but whether you can find a post detailling this exact solution from 2.5years ago during ShB launch and also find an answer that confirms it after launch is a hard task
Oh, thank you! And sorry D:
I'll probably make a thread on gamefaqs or something see if anything pops up
Regarding Steam you'll have two keys, one for 'Pre-Purchase Bonus Content' and 'Standard Edition Content', the former is for early access and the in-game items, the latter is for the full release on tuesday
@uneven tendon okay, thank you very much for the information. Pray the twelve be with you during Endwalker!
I didn't have stormblood on PC when it came out, I was logged out in one of the SB areas when I logged in and it let me in just fine. It just greyed out my exp bar on jobs and wouldn't let me join any content above HW levels. Never tried moving between zones within SB though, went straight back to my FC house in mist
Might have been the other way round platform wise, but same thing
Thanks for the info
My friend is on EW prequests and his gear level is not high enough, but it's higher than that 430 level free gear. What should he do? Spending 500k on exarchic gear is kinda too much, or is that the only option?
Poetics to buy Cryptlurker now
hey, do I enter the early access code now or when it drops? thanks
Or just go do Eden/nier stuff
So how did SE change hats for bunnies?
early access code can be redeemed now
i don't believe we know any details
but where?
They changed the entire model to a different rigging, there's no download currently so we don't know exact details yet
Under 'Registration Codes' on mogstation will be an option to enter early access/pre-order
Yeah they specifically made the benchmark not use hats and it's sad
All of the outfits specifically don't include hats
incorrect, rpr hat showed up on mviera and hrothgar so
we don't really know
No the benchmark
That empty tile to the right is where my option was
Is there a deadline to getting into early access? If I buy it right now, could I get in when maint. ends?
weird.. I dunno why it isn't there
benchmark is different from the media tour.
All of the outfits you could use did not include them
is there a dnc quest after the || stormblood/ala mhigo || one?
thanks anyway Osha
Yes you can get in asap
no, role quests only
tyvm
Alrighty, thank you!!
rpr hat worked on m viera in the media tour, again. they may have fixed the issues.
anyways.
Is there any reason whatsoever to get Standard and not Entry subscription for 30 days if I only have 1 character? what about veteran bonuses etc?
@shrewd cradlecodes are temp disabled till maint is over
You want vet bonuses, you want additional characters for misc purposes, you're insane, or all of the above
sorry, let me rephrase that, entering codes is disabled till maint is over.
so with Entry, vet bonus counter doesnt rise?
oh, soo as soon as it's done I'll be able to enter it? darn
vet counter rises but only in 30 day blocks
should be able to by tonight.
so aside from character slot there is no difference?
correct
Thank you very much.
my og name for discord is Lee M. Cardholder@carmine shell
no i am not a sponsor for Visa, nor affiliated.

if i already put in my ew code on mogstation, i dont need to do anything else eright
wait till EW drops to put in offcial code
you'll need the standard code after maint
You entered the pre-order code, not the main code.
wheres the main code?
Depends on where you bought the game
what platform
you should get an email with it.
They haven't sent the main codes yet.
ah gotcha
There's a hefty grace period before you absolutely need to enter it iirc
why do i feel like this is a race
I got the stema ime and got both videos...
if I don't put the main code yet, I get to keep the ShB lobby scene right?
I got the steam both codes*
no EA counts as Endwalker if it's already registered
@verbal totemwait till maint is over to put it in
Because of how Steam works they have to give you both right away. But you can't enter the main code on mogstation yet anyway.
You'll get the EW scene until after EA if you haven't registered the standard EW code
ohh alright
The button disappears in mogstation after you register it
So will appear new one when full release?
a new button will appear after maint to register the standard EW code
Btw during pre purchase can play normaly?
At what time should I expect tomorrow to open my game to download new expansion?
Japan afternoon TBD
are we able to pre download EW before release?
@weak sailallegedly yes, it should be avail for preload aroun 10pm EST
ahh
i should be working, but i just cant focus with the big patch tomorrow. thank god i have a 4-day weekend this week
If I preordered EW for PS4 months ago, do I need to do anything? Or just wait until it starts auto-updating?
you should be good to go when patch goes live
@obsidian patio
Just log into the game, basically
Any version of Endwalker gives you both previous expansions yes
It’s not showing the yellow circle in my mogstation for those
If you got the earrings then you’re all set
so the update is from the launcher, isn't it like any other PS4 game, that it updates from the PS4 even if the game isn't launched?
PS4/5 should download the patch in the background once it’s available
Nah PlayStation downloads it with their native downloader
the endgame "grind" is mainly doing Savage raids to gear up to BiS as well as ultimate raids
Not the launcher
Where can I find the full game code
However there's alternative grinds like deep dungeons, crafting, gathering, the gold saucer, Bozja, eureka
Savage gear is basically peak minmaxing
great, thxs
@wet shoreplatform?
steam or mogstation
Mogstation
you will get an email tonight
Do we know how many gB will the update be for PS4 ?
Oh okay perfect
The SE store hasn't released standard codes yet
Thanks
7.1 according to the lodestone
oh, that's so little, in one of the latest patches, the game used like 80GB , but I dunno if that was downloaded data or just the needed available space for installing it
PS4 patching requires double the space
Because you download it and then extract it
and then it deletes the download
thxs
!expansion
#kupo-bot-spam
do u think it will be ready to download at least 6 hours befor maintenance finishes?
So, with all these potencies being lowered, but the damage system itself changing, there’s very little info we can glean as to what these lowered potencies actually mean for us.
But does this at least mean that if an attack’s potency has been unchanged, that it’s likely to be stronger now?
Japan afternoon TBD
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i thought FFXIV was going to be on xbox, what happened to that? did they nix the idea?
we don't know
fair
It's definitely in the pipeline somewhere
Probably after EW release
Like with PS4 support
I think the last we heard about Xbox is that they haven't closed the door on it, but EW took too much resources to work on it
i was just curious. havent heard anything about it, but i guess we will see in the future
Probably about the same time they bring new data centres. Have to imagine that there would be a sizable amount of people that might start playing if it comes to xbox platform
Thank you.
Thank you aswell.
how do i stop listening to new sia cover pls help
dislike the song
Sia is an asshole
wait, who is Sia?
A musician. There's a new video on the official FF14 youtube channel with her
is it pop music?
ok you had me a sinatra
i love jazz
never mind.
the 2 80s dailies will still be here in early access right
xD
listened to 30 seconds....her voice is not for me.
The what?
80s dungeon and expert
ahhh
Nope, those are getting rolled in to 50/60/70/80
Expert is up at 90 with the few 90 dungeons there is
one day that will say 50/60/70/80/90/100 lol
Yea also weird song to cover, apart from "moon" being in there
i was expecting something more along the lines of like an Amy Whinehouse, yet i got some trap/rap beat in the background
i've been had
Does anyone know when early access codes will be sent ?
Are Endwalker pre-order bonuses still available if you pre-order now or did that end with the maintenance?

pre-order ends with official release
so yes you can still pre-order and get the bonuses
Slick, tysm!
@gray mortarshould've already gotten it
Most should have been sent unless you ordered REALLY recently.
If I have the exp earrings should u have used it ?
I*
yes
Ah ok
Sorry if im being an idiot, its my first time buying an expac for this game, im confuse are they gonna send full game code to my SE store account?? what?
Square makes it so hard and confusing to buy their stuff
You'll get an email with a button that says "Click Here to get access to your products"
And that link will take you to a page that will give you the code
No worries they make it annoyingly confusing. You should get an email, and it's also often in the store if you ordered it from there. Once you get the code you can put it into the Mog station
how long does maintenance usually last??
!expac
24 hours, do !maint in #kupo-bot-spam to check it
! expansion
email says it in your account on the 7th official release on the order page but they probably send another email
kk
!expansion
ty @strange coral
Fuckin autocorrect
#kupo-bot-spam, use it
That's nice.
They made it confusing
thanks for the answer
Once EW launches, how would you guys max all crafters to 90 as soon as possible? I know it really helps to have aether currents in all areas to farm mats fastest, but other than that any tips? Seems like they nerfed a few ways to powerlevel such as leves in the patch notes?
the new leves
new leves, gc turn-ins, the new version of role/job deliveres, collectible crafting
Most of the standard ways. They mostly nerfed the triple turn in leves is my understanding. So daily GC turn-ins, bulk crafting raw mats, collectable's. Making sure you use foods, and other XP buffs (FC or GC/Squad buffs)
So, they only have Endwalker as the only current buyable expansion, are the previous ones now free content or just kinda locked out?
i started this game in middle of august what carfters needed for??
They are included with the EW purchase
oh sick, thanks.
does anyone here play on mac?
is pre-load out yet
No
they aren't needed for anything, crafting is optional
cringe
anyone know how to move your ffxiv files properly? i want to move it from my hdd to my ssd
please link a guide or put the full steps here cuz i need to do it as fast as possible
Steam version or non-steam?
non steam
You should be able to just move the folder and update your shortcuts
i did but it's not working
What's it doing?
file access failed during version check [11018][19900][2]
When trying to login? The game is down for maintenance right now
before the login screen even opens
That might be a folder permissions issue. You might want to try google as there are a bunch of different solutions from people that have gotten that error
feck
When will endwalker be downloadable?
It's expected to be downloadable a few hours before maintenance ends, or the afternoon in Japan time according to the recent stream
its very confusing! Check your account on mogstation to make sure you have EW early access!
SB+SB are not enabled for EW preorders yet
i fixed it omfg, i just needed to use the boot64 lmao
Alright thanks, also by any chance do you know if the new pvp gear is exclusive to the new battle pass like system or are they purchasable like the other sets
I want to get some advice on creating a static. I've created a static to do morbol challenge, but there is 1 person who told us that we can only practice for 1 time/week. I've messaged the person to ask for availbility, but the person is not responding. I've found 1 active person, and do you think it's not rude to kick the person out of group and add that person instead?
i hjave a download right now
what is the fastest way to level from 70-80? is it bozja?
where do i find patch notes
afaik yeah
Also wonderous tails gives you half a level
On lodestone
when's the earliest you can download the patch?
tyty
There's a newer post with a little more
i want to view class changes
Look up their job guides on lodestone
tyvm
if he doesn't respond I would replace him so long you tried more as once to talk with him/her and you never got a response
Er, I guess it's not technically lodestone, but 14 site
Ok, thanks. I'm also wondering, but how would you deal with people not showing up? Since EW is released, I want everyone to show up on time
Beat them into submission
No more shadowbringer to buy on steam? now you buy base+end?
yes
There’s 0 reason to buy it separately
does anyone know what the “no spoilers period” means specifically? was planning on steaming EW but this got me worried
does anyone have any idea when they might have another sale on the wedding plans?
what would happen if you bought endwalker off steam right now during maintenance? would you still get early access?
yes
not until lunar new year minimum, but likely not even then
so when the lodestone comes back up, you should be able to use the code from steam and get early access?
youll get two codes off of steam until dec 7
EA and full
When is the game coming back up?
!expansion
thanks!
Does anyone know when does the amazon pre order code comes? I preordered EW in amazon at like 5 pm and didnt get the pre order code
hey guys this is my first ff14 xpack will i be able to download the endwalker patch before early access goes live? or at 1am PST will i have to download the patch?
!faq ewfaq
Do I get the other expansions in Early Access?
Historically yes, but no definite answer.
I can't put in my codes/I don't have my codes/I'm panicking
Wait for maintenance to be over please.
When can we download?
Japan Afternoon, TBD. Please stop asking, and reference the Lodestone for more details.
They nerfed my jobs!!
They've only been talking about the stat squish for the past few months. Everything has changed.
sorry does that mean there will be a predownloaded at some point?
aka no official word
Should be somewhere around 4am est if all goes as planned. Afaik there's no preinstall
I preordered weeks ago through Square site, instantly got a code and just today got a heads up notice about how the game is launching EA, both through my email
Anyone has the link with the class/job changes?
cant say how amazon handles the preorders
I don't, but there's plenty on YT for the tour coverage
Just look up the job guide
updated today with EW stuff
Thank you very much. Tried using google to find it but it kept recommending me other sites
Ya, with how many sites SE runs I had trouble finding it in my history even lol
If I just leave the launcher open will it start patching automatically, or do I have to close and reopen it?
is there a countdown?
When I installed the game a week ago, it didnt start patching until I logged in with valid info and subscription
!expansion
if I pre order Endwalker now, can I still join the early access?
10 hours, plenty of time to get some cheetos, get some sleep, tell your loved ones goodbye...
Should be able to
shouldnt the buy button be here?
no because you cant preorder on mog
did maintenance start already?
we're in the preorder period until the 7th
physick is buffed i think but is it still useless on sch?
I went through the Square enix store a week ago and a code was automatically sent to my email
a bit
or is it still better for emergency adlo instead of physick
After you enter the code you get EA but not the other 2 expansions
Yeah I think you won’t be able to do new MSQ this weekend

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.
first ew msq is in rising stones
yes will this show it
kk
Unless theres some synergy with physick im not seeing, seems like adlo is just better...
physick casts slightly faster and costs less mana for a small heal and no shield.
so what can we download EW?

@spare plinthphysick heals for more tho, so if you were topping people during downtime or something?
no it doesn't
Emergency tactics + addlo is more than physick
Eme Addlo is a 675 potency heal
Physick will most likely still be useless

Any guesses on long until pre-download happens.

Do I get the other expansions in Early Access?
Historically yes, but no definite answer.
I can't put in my codes/I don't have my codes/I'm panicking
Wait for maintenance to be over please.
When can we download?
Japan Afternoon, TBD. Please stop asking, and reference the Lodestone for more details.
They nerfed my jobs!!
They've only been talking about the stat squish for the past few months. Everything has changed.
in dungeons and stuff we can play with people from other servers - can you add them as friends and make groups cross server?
My mogstation indicates I have Endwalker Early access but when I try to login i get mainenance
yes

i s2g
oh okay, maintenance isnt voer yet
So its still could bea few hours okay
thanks 🙂
I've been sick so im realy disoriented
maint isn't over for another 9 hours and 30m
do subscription days continue to count down during a long maintenance like this?
yes
Do we have a window for when maintenance will be oveR?
damn i forgot there was maintenance and activated my complete edition last night 😔
Why?
EW complete is gonna be a thing in 4 days
why’d i do it? i completed the free trial and wanted to start sb
oh ive been holding onto the code for a while
i got it during a sale for 24 bucks i think
If I sub 6months does my additional retainer price scale to 6months or is it still monthly
It scales to your sub length
how much are retainers again
2 dollars per retainer per month
6months sub + 7 retainers would be... 150 bucks for half a year?
do i call in sick to work to play early access
Not the place
and the answer is no
So let me guess, there isn't a preload for the patch and just have to wait for the maintenance to be over?
you guys trying a new job or sticking with your current job? 😄
isn't preload at 7pm pst or afternoon jpn time? like other patches
Will PS4 players receive a code too after maintenance in order to start playing early access or is it automatic for us ? I didn't get the difference between PS4 and Windows there.
Maybe, I haven't been around for an expansion release since Stormblood
There will be Instances in Endwalker? how is that going to work
simple
if hte ew area you're g oing to is full
you'll be put into an instance that's not full
PS4 doesn’t deal with codes for licenses
Just log in after purchasing the items on the PS store
Which does mean Hunt Trains are gonna be long 
Thanks ^^
Does anyone else have problems with the official launcher? Since I'm using XIVLauncher but idk
Usually I can't even download patches with it
Official that is
So how do you deliberately go to another instance? The aetherite?
Yes

So people who don't have early access, will still be able to play non-endwalker during that week?
any idea when we can update the game?
Codes - Mogstation
yes
@pseudo crescent
ty
idk where to find it on steam....
its been months since i transferred from free trial to paid game
Do I need to keep opening & closing the launcher to see if the patch update is available or can I just leave it open and it will be ready to download when the time comes?
Hey all! n00b question for an old vet who just never found his melee jam: what is the best melee to pick if I don't want something too "busy" with a million OGCDs and positionals? I'm hoping Monk rework is fun, looks neat so far....
DRG is a good middle ground
monk, funnily enough
Okay cool! I liked what little DRG I played
it has 2 postionals (combo finishers)
new job for sure, not a fan of my old job...
Is there an online chart of how much exp you get at a given level from doing a Challenge log? I've been at max level 80 so long i don't remember the exp bonuses lol
It’s percentage based
Let me rephrase, though. How critical is SAM rotation to be "perfect" in context up to EXs?
Like if I'm a decent "freestyler" could I do most context to Extremes? End game stuff I'd NEVER melee, idk how you people do it @.@;
you can wing anything up til endgame
itll feel kinda uncomfy not to hit those positionals because of the kenki gauge, but yea as breadfast said
Nice one!
But I mean how does the skill floor for SAM compare to DRG and MNK (though who knows with new MNK)
Thanks for the patience with my inability to be articulate
Oh for sure
I find it's always good to try everything, just so you get a vague feeling of what your party can do, given it's composition
But I personally LOVE tanking, so I'll be doing that first (thank you Sages and Reapers for the Q times!)
I just started playing 2 days ago and plan on sticking around. Should I buy Endwalker now or just wait until I finish everything else?
If you get it you get an earring that helps you level faster
If you want the collectors edition or pre-order items buy now, otherwise... dont. There is a LOT of content for you to play
^ that's the flip side
i only purchased because I wanted the collectors edition items, im not even out of heavensward yet and ive sunked i think roughly 800 hours into this game just doing side stuff lol
I'd say if you can spare the money easy enough I would but it, otherwise hold off
Hey guys! I own FFXIV base game, and today I bought Endwalker. Will I get stormblood and shadowbringers tomorrow with the pre release? Or do I still need to wait for the full release to get the previous expansions?
You need to wait for full release I think

@leaden ginkgo thanks for the replies!
thank you!
o/ no problem! Welcome to the game!
I guess I'll ask again once the pre release launches then
Thanks, I came home from work eager to play but I didn’t know maintenance is 24 hours 😂
Yeahh I tried logging on all day, not reading that maintenance was gonna be down all day LOL
Yep, we are all itching for it, lol
I dont own any of the dlcs so, also looking forward to those
Pre loading usually come out 4-5 hours before maintenance
First xpac I'm not single during launch, I'm not gonna be able to bum rush the story anymore T_T
Will the Endwalker MSQ be playable during the early access? Gotta start taking measures to avoid spoilers lol
Yes
Yes
EA is full Access
a good question i forgot to ask. time to avoid everything LOL
Yea lol gonna be playing with the chat literally turned off for a while
"Challenge Log: 15% of EXP of current level (maxes out @ lvl 60)" Maxes out meaning what?
Yeah spoilers the next few days gonna be rough
15%
My guild will put spoiler boys and girls on "shame" role lol 
when does the download start?

MOST people will be chill about spoilers. Problem is I said "most" there's always gonna be those few jerks
"Dungeon Master Complete 5 dungeons. " does Trusts-dungeon count as completing a dungeon in Challenge log?
Trying to remember, did they open up early downloads for Shadowbringers?
@gloomy mortar yes
if i leave my client like this, will automatically start downloading even if im away?
like once its available
gonna be gone around the time the patch is supposedly available to download
Anyone know how long you can get this preorder bonus? Does it go away today?
No, you will have to exit the launcher and log back in once the patch is available
dang, alright, thanks
@rancid canyon they are tied to a code
guess i'll just download it when i get home, 10gb shouldnt be too bad unless servers die
Today is early access
Well, in 9 hours.
Part of the bonus
so in 9 hours, if you buy endwalker after that, you cant get preorder bonus?
If you buy the preorder now you can apply it to your account any time before.... March I think? And get the bonus items then.
After the 7th
But if you buy after the official release the preorder is gone
Yeah
If I do not have an active subscription and buy endwalker. does it start the 30 day subscription right away?
EW does not come with a 30 day sub anyway
No
only Starter and Complete do
Starter Edition has gift play time
what. really?
yea
Expansion have never gifted game time
XIV expansions have never come with game time, only the base game does
ah okay. did not know. Well thanks for answers then. Then I can buy now and buy subscription later when I got time to play. Thanks for answers guys
there are still like 8 hours left for maintenance right
!expansion
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Challenge_Log has some errors in it. Complete 5 FATEs with the highest rating possible. not Receive the highest rating possible in FATEs in 5 different regions.
Is it true that I wont be able at all to play as a free trial player once the expansion launches?
Mostly because servers are full
wiki is quicker loading, but gamerescape is more accurate lol
And FT players cannot enter the login queue
What if I managed to login on times that are not populated a lot? Will I get kicked out of the game then ?
Yeah Console Games Wiki isn’t super updated often.
If you see something is wrong o it, just update yourself
Yeah I think so
You shouldn't be kicked out
If servers are completely full.. wait no?
I thought I heard people say Free Trail will get booted when servers are full
hun
You won't get kicked out, but you can only login when there isn't a queue and there's gonna be a queue probably nonstop for the first 24 hours after the launch
So hope you didn't have friday/Saturday plans in game
Like how it works in amusement park
Good ol fastpass
They ain't gonna drag your ass off the roller coaster
Ayyy fast pass
When a new fastpass customer comes in
Sir we need you off the roller coaster this very second,
Please find a way to get down yourself

Im from the EU and on an US Server so Ill usually start playing when people are still asleep. Thats good to know, thanks. Ill just gotta be sneaky login in then .
Is there ever a “free name change” like the first time or something?
Nope
No
Even then it won't be easy
Only if you're name is pushing the limits of tos
Only if you have a very offensive name
And even that's not reliable, and if its obvious they won't be pleased
gonna be honest, you probably won't have luck with that during an expac launch.
Anyone have a picture of the new unslouched male viera models I see people talking about?
I had a free name change.
we don't know if the images we have are "fixed" m viera or not
Of course a four-day suspension came with the free name change.
Can't see what isn't downloaded yet
but this could (potentially) be the "fixed" m viera but again 
None is available yet
oh that does look a little better
I have a question about BLM
What happens now if we cast fire when we are in Umbral Ice 1?
for 6.0?
we lose ice
and we don't get fire
Should the install files for 6.0 already be downloaded or do we have to wait until 1AM PST?

So, still use transpose?
yes
@warped nest yea that part didnt change lul
I genuinely thought it did
Grants Astral Fire or removes Umbral Ice
we still use F3/B3 to swap
for aoe, we use F2/B2
Oh, well, at least single target and AOE becomes less confusing
Oh, with how enhanced Flare works
you hf2 to swap
Would you use F2 B2 for single target at low level now?
use a hf2 to get enh flare
It is UI3 into two HF2
@ripe hound no
yes
never
Then Flare away?
Just transpose?
yeah
is there a automatically download on the launcher ?
so i can let m pc on
lets find out
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III and removes Umbral Ice
this comes up when you get F3
no
!action paradox
I’m glad the enhanced flare thing got simplified
Need to wait
nope
yea
Since it relies on the API being updated
Ahhh, noted
so i have to click on download so it can download by himself
And people who should be updating API is now stuck in MSQ
wait what
kupobot devs and other people are gonna be doing msq
do i need to do something to play msq endwalker ?
I mean Kupo bot is made by players
nah
i played the msq
you just click download
And play MSQ
we don't know the time
instead of freeze spam, you'll do B2 > Freeze for 3 hearts > F2 spam

What about B2 spam until you get more mana?
B2 > Freeze
same as B3 > B4
you just to T2 after freeze
Oh
and use a proc there
B2, Freeze, T2/4, do fire stuff
Freeze is 35?
40
Before freeze just spam B2 I assume
yeah
Ayyy
Freeze is AOE equivalent of blizzard IV

Sorry this is long

I’ll just get up in 3 hours and check if I can download it
so, I've been seeing plugins for FFXIV and it got me thinking, is it recommended to use ones that just change the game visually if you're on Free Trial?
plugins wont be working for a few days minimum
What level do you get Umbral Ice 3?
35 iirc
kk
If you mean GShade
Yes
So only really low lv BLM don’t have it
Guess I'll ask more simply does going into one of the pages and going back refresh the page and refresh to play button?
Af stands for artifact armor?
It can stand for a lot of stuff
Yes
AF for BLM is Astral Fire
since endwalker's coming out in a few hours, I'm not gonna bother with plugins for now
Well that too
Where does the f
Usually when talking abilities, AF is astral fire
Artifact
it's a mystery
When talking gear
It's ArtiFact
Yeah play with plugins after you done the MSQ
it was coined back in FFXI like 20years ago or whatever
You will physically not be able to for a couple days
I always wondered where the name came from
Since the name “Artifact Gear” just felt so random
yeah the name doesn't really appear in XIV, but when people got their class sets they called them AF like they were called in XI, and then they got numbers based on the expansions
although now it gets harder to track
like AF3 AF4 etc, in XI it just stopped at 2? 3? I forgot how many I think 3
so basically never until endwalker
We get it at 89
And when your character hits 90, it'll sync up
poor 89 dungeon gear
it's already often pretty useless but that sounds even worse lol
if it's reported probably yeah
that doesn't mean people won't potentially do it, people do stupid things
If it’s done as deliberate harassment yes
ie Shouting spoilers in a city or anywhere for that matter
no
guess ill just wake up an hour early then..
A download is available
I just woke up at 2 am with a nightmare and just realised I haven’t checked if patch has been released. Has patch already been released for the client yet?
Nope.
A download has just become available.
However some are getting launcher version check errors
some are successfully downloading
On a Mac?
thanks ill try
It's happening as we speak
Guess I'll see if Google can answer my question
Ok. I can’t check without waking someone up. How big is it. I’ll do some match to realise how early I gotta wake up.
if you are on pc like 9 gb
I'm getting errors.
my download is starting
I'd assume errors are cause some CDNs don't have the patch yet maybe, so the launcher says it should be version x but the distribution servers don't have that version, guess it'll fix itself a bit later
I am one of the peoples getting version errors. 😭
ps4 working here
9000/12/60. That’s about 12 minutes. Alright I’m good boys!! Good night.
Welp, I'm almost home, how are the servers overflowing?
Disable plugins or mods from xivlauncher 
Can players get banned for using GShade?
no
Gotcha thx
why is the pc one 4.2gb instead of 10.5gb
Getting an error and the launcher is still shadowbringers. Anyone else getting that?
im reinstalling now
Yes, many people are getting that
launcher issues are not uncommon
give it a bit of time
whats the error saying
Now its a HTTPS system error
lul
fun hours
yep
yeah same here
Thats the one
lel
oh got it fixed
