What's the queue gonna be like Friday night 11 pm est? Should I just play civ 6 instead?
meaning you have to wait until there is no queue at all, and if there is a queue of 250 at 4am then you aren't ever getting online lol
I don't get home from work til 1045
it was like 2700 at midnight est last night
Yes. It's going to be forever.
And I've been playing in the mornings at 8 am
I've had the best luck (queues of less than 100) early in the morning.
im trying to login now after getting home from work and it's at 4,215
morning queues (8 am est) are like 30 people
7am queues are below 100
I logged in right when I got home from work, and it was an hour ago
How long is a 4200 player queue
about 2 hours
1 hour?
+2hr
Ouch yeah not worth it.
7,000 is about 3 hours
Gonna have to play exclusively during the week until this passes.
Which quests do I need to do with a company to get the mount?
15,000 is around 6 hours
Frontline exclusive
havent gotten the email for endwalker order, but got into EA for this past weekend lol fucking love square enixx
I believe 100 matches won for that Grand Company
How long do you think this will go on for? Like 3 weeks?
no way to choose your GC now btw in PvP meaning the company you are playing for is random
My mom got me the game for christmas and i got a code for endwalker collectors edition how do i redeem it?
what mount are you referring to?
Any mount, I'm level 35 and still can't ride one lol
I don't mind queues at 200-500 but over 2k is insane.
!faq mount
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
ah I thought you were talking about the grand company horses
I have the "My little chocobo" quest already
My mom got me the game for christmas and i got a code for endwalker collectors edition how do i redeem it?
@silent island
Which quests do I need to do with a company to get the mount?
But I can't get it because the quartermaster just says "Looks like you aren't part of this company"
then complete it
go to the correct grand company.
I am there lol
what GC did you pick
Maelstorm
You picked that during the MSQ?
Yea, red armor guys
are you in a Free Company that isn't affiliated with the Maelstrom
I'm not sure how to tell
that has no bearing on it at all
yes ensure you are not talking to the OIC quartermaster
you might be talking to the fc gc stuff
In which city are you checking?
you want the Storm quartermaster
Cause it should be Limsa
are you talking to the npcs on the far right
Can you show us a screenshot
Sure
Question before starting Endwalker. Does any class change dialogue options like Dragoon does for Heavensward?
they do, quite a lot actually, but they are all filler text
also it only looks if you completed the job quests
Endwalker has so many dialogue flags it's hard to count them all
ah I see
like there are flags in endwalker that will change dialogue if you completed the WHM quests
as well as PLD, WAR.... etc
Like if you've completed white mage, pugilist, thaumaturge, scholar to name just a few
marauder
You can see where it says I have maelstrom quests on the left
Have they said when world transfers will be back on?
stuff for many side story quests like Eureka, Bozja, Sorrow of Werlyt
yeah that's the FC GC npcs, you want the right side NPCs
so you just need to have a class at 80 for it to change the options?
Like we said, speak to the Storm quartermaster on the right, not the OIC
I bought striking npc gear and placed them all to a glamour plate. How come when I try linking that plate to my monk, who meets the level requirement, it won't apply the glam?? I'm checking the plate and it has a red "X" on the gear even though its the right gear type (striking gear for my monk)
it's a common mistake
Can't glam higher level gear over lower level gear
lol sorry guys, first time playing
to be honest the error should be better, or rather the dialogue they say
they should mention "Free Company"
to make it easier
Ohhhh is that why - yeah the current equip im wearing are mostly lvl 80 gear but the glam is lvl 84. I thought the glam applied to your character lvl, not the item lvl itself. Ty ty
I see that the preorder mount has released - where can I find my code for it? I've been playing early access
but yeah, that NPC is what you use to purchase Free Company actions, change your Free Company name/tag, and your Free Company right now is obviously not a part of the Maelstrom so that is why they're saying they can't help you
Are you a Steam user or a non-Steam user?
non-steam, bought directly from the online store
then you should have received an email about it by now
if not, check your original email where you received your preorder code and click through to the redeem site to see if the full code has been added
i too was wondering about this and still havent received an email
yeah I'm not sure whats going on, maybe I'm blind
Finally got to play ff14 for the first time
Is it ok if I skip the text for side quests?
they dont really interest me
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
Do MSQ and blue+ quests
Did you buy the game from the square enix store? Can you confirm if you only have an "Early Access Key" code when you go to My Orders -> FF14 Endwalker Purchase History -> See unlocked key.
If only that "early access code" shows up, then I guess it hasnt been updated (just like mine actually)
ty bro i did a bunch of them in gridania and they only give me 50xp
yeah, I just figured it out actually. it was on the original invoice email, under a part that says something like "redeem digital order"
this is a different code than the "early access code" shown in My Orders?
yeah I think so, it had two keys - early access and activation
I'll wait and see if the activation key actually worked
bruh I cant even find that x.x
it takes you to this page - and when you scroll down you see two codes
Does the fenrir bike stack with riding maps
no
yeah i only see 1 code thats why
oh weird, idk then man sorry
tears
How do I unlock Leviathan extreme? I've done the 3 primals already from Urianger
!quest whorl of a time
When Urianger appears pensive, you can be sure another primal problem looms on the horizon.
Urianger
The Waking Sands (X: 6.06 Y: 4.99)
Styrnlona
Lower La Noscea (X: 24.69 Y: 33.16)
Through the Maelstrom
Will only appear if you've completed the MSQ for Leviathan.
Yeah I'm already in ShB
Did you actually talk to him
if I remember right.. you need to complete the ex versions of Garuda, Titan, and Ifrit no?
not for levi
before you can unlock Mog and Levi ex
levi just has msq requirements
Currently in Waking Sands atm
the original 3 primal exs are not connected at all to unlocking levi/shiva/mog
Already did them
Just to check, you're in the Waking Sands, not Rising Stones right?
Then if Urianger doesn't have the quest, you've already picked it up.
It has no other prerequisites.
Ahh yeah it is in my DF already lol must've picked it up ages ago thanks
is everyone's link different?
Isn't there a "photo" mode in the game? I can't find it
are queues a lie now, the number is not going down
I assume
Funny, that's all mine's been doing the past 15 minutes for some reason
/gpose
Do I need to stay on que screen is me disconnecting from me afk or something?
I am on PS4

Oh, idk for that then
I am on PS4 i don't know what that means 😅

Do you have access to chat (and commands) on PS4? idk if you would or not
you can also access gpose thru the actions and traits menu, its under the extras section
I'll check that out. Thx
Is there any way to put in my release EW code without having to restart?
(unless I don't have to do it yet)
@gray fern Just so you know, you can attach a keyboard to a PS4, if you're in controller mode it will automatically write to the chat
Very useful to type commands or party chat quickly
whaat in the hell is going on with this expansion? 4k user queues that time out constantly
ive been waiting almost 3 fucking hours to play
I'm still in HW but I'm also almost L70 so I'm more wondering for RPR/Sage
is the +300% xp when crafting from doing a HQ craft?
See the pins
is squadron battle manual useful for daily roulettes?
I got a question for Endwalker Collector Digital Code , is it working for anyone else on the Mog Station
Kind of
Yes, I registered mine two days ago
I don’t think the effect benefit the roulette bonus
But it do benefit your exp gain from boss kills
keep getting A fatal DirectX Error has occured.(11000002) during que any thing I can do to prevent this?
how hard to play reaper
Are the mogstation items tradable? Like if I bought a mount /minion/emote for a friend, I can just trade it to them after i get jt from the delivery moogle?
No
i dont think so - otherwise those mounts would be tradeable through the marketboard
You can buy it as a gift for them
^
But can't trade it
thanks
I see, thanks!
!fr
ok this is outdated, how do i get the latest fashion report?
fashion report is not up to date, kaiyoko has a rough guess on their twitter page
ic
but they are busy with endwalker like everyone else so no full FR update

You have to pay for this gear?
not gear, that's a level boost
Oh i see ty
you can get the gear in game through various vendors depending on which expansion you want the af gear of
there’s a GNB job skip?
for 10 levels?
does role quest unlock something?
20 levels.
The ability to dye your AF gear
They haven’t said when
Details on maint timing will be announced in the future
is there a checklist of things to unlock after EW msq?
Need to make sure I understand Reaper:
-
Aside from cross reaping, void shroud spenders, communio etc, what other skills remained usable when you are under enshroud?
-
Bloodstalk becomes unveiled gibbet/gallow under enhanced gibbet/gallow buff, but functionally it stays the same right? Has enough soul gauge, press Bloodstalk button, do gibbet/gallow
-
Gluttony gives 2, while blood stalk/AOE version put you at exactly one (not adding one), so gluttony into gibbet into gallow (or gallow into gibbet)?
-
Plentiful harvest required at least 1 immortal, but it cannot be used while you are still under bloodsworn buff, this is to prevent people from casting plentiful harvest multiple time?
-
In combat, soulsow (a 5s spell) becomes your downtime skill?
are they different region posts?
OH SHOOT MAYBE!
Hey silly question..when doin dungeon pulls with bard how many enemies should I dot before spamming rain of death and is it worth putting both dots on trash mobs ?
i see, nothing significant to immediately do it
@jade quartz Nope! I checked my chat history on Discord from 11am when I found and quoted it in my FC chat
and it was the same article link! (NA)
it says dec7th for me still
do we have any notice on when the 4 hour maint starts?
except when i look at the post though
actually, what i should say is
when other people in different regions (i.e JP) look at it, it does say dec 8th
is there a checklist of things to unlock after EW msq?
That doesn’t matter for NA
Plus early morning NA would be afternoon/evening JP!
The times are based on pacific
its already dec 8th for JP
@white bronze Bard dots no longer interact with anything, so just go crazy with your AOE skills
Woah
Within the next ~5 hours
i’m trying to test out keyboard and mouse on console and i plug them in and switch to mouse mode in settings but it won’t let me move using my keyboard only my controller, how do i fix this
If they go on schedule I mean
Bard's song proc is now a flat 80 percent every tick (3s)
You happy?
Excuse me am I in danger... 15 minutes I only get this
Is heat of battle useless now?
no
aired ig
My FC won't turn it on because it's useless now
We don't get exp from mobs in dungeons
Its not useless
Should I leave my FC
it still boost the exp you get from dungeons, even though its all centered on the bosses
All that exp has been rolled into the bosses, which are affected by heat of battle
i.e. it's exactly as effective as it was before
your FC are mistaken.
somebody help this dude, im on PC so i have no knowledge of console
How can you tell
it was in the patch notes
and you can see when you run the dungeon.
It was made very clear in the notes, and is obvious when experiencing it in person.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Is it possible to only have the LB button floating and the remaining of the hotbar invisible?
What’s the most efficient solo EXP grind to cap?
MSQ basically guarantees a class to 90 if you stick with it. This is how I got PLD to 90 in like 1 day.
Otherwise for the rest of your classes after MSQ is done:
1 - 61 Palace of the Dead (1-10)
61-71 Heaven on High (21-30)
71-80 Bozja
81-90 Trust Dungeon Spam (We’re getting another deep dungeon in Endwalker supposedly so I imagine that’ll be the best 81-90 slam once it’s out.)
ARMOR BONUS WAS BOOSTED TO 100%. This means screw doing anything until you get one class to 90! Seriously. Blast through MSQ on something you want to quickly 80-90, and then get that Armory Bonus on everything below 90! This is the way.
HEAT OF BATTLE ISN'T THAT GOOD. The best ways to level 1-81 do not really benefit from the Heat of Battle, which only impacts exp gained from monsters. The update made it so only bosses in dungeons give EXP. Heat of Battle II is only 10%, meaning you'll likely only see the equivalent of 1~ sidequest bonus for every dungeon. The only real noticeable difference will be if you're doing endless dungeons daily and really only benefit spamming the 81-89 dungeons.
Considering queues aren't that great and you'll be waiting a lot, FATEs would be faster. In essence, HOB + dungeons aren't preferred, just do your roulettes, MSQ, then go with the above level range guide. Also do challenge logs for guildhests, FATEs, dungeons, leves, and your roulettes for quick in between level EXP (ie 80-81) otherwise the above are your no-brain-grind to 90.

yeah misinformed
where is this from?
exp from monsters includes bosses
My FC

also "blast to 90 first" seems like they're labouring under the old misunderstanding of the armoury system
i hope they realize that 100% armoury bonus is only for 1-79, 80-90 is 50%
It applies to any job under your highest, having something at cap doesn't affect it
Hey, I just got my Endwalker registration code today but it's telling me it's invalid.
I figured it out
yeah this is literally done every expansion, armoury bonus of previous levels upped to 100 and new levels is 50%
Is the cast bar in the UI settings the one for your own spells/casts? I remember there being an option to adjust the enemy's casts but cant seem to find it/ nvm found it im dumb
my question tho, does anyone have a good resource for all the best ways to level crafts/gathering this expansion? aside from the quest lines which levels a few crafts and fsh/1 gather
leves, and collectables
i currently still do GC provisioning and weekly collectibles
Hide unassigned slots in character configurations>hotbars. It's a tick box
Lol nvm
No worries, still thank you
Probably an odd question but, Newegg refunded my purchase of the endwalker, but I already used their pre-order key. Will I be able to buy endwalker that doesnt have a "linked" pre-order key? or are they really separate
So weird question, I went from conjurer to white mage, but my hunting log still says conjurer. Do I need to finish this to unlock the white mage hunting log?
a lot of things will still say conjurer. Under the hood you're still a conjurer
there is no "white mage hunting log"
You're a conjurer with a fancy rock on you
how is diadem lvling for 80>90 on crafters?
im still sitting on quite a lot of lvl 80 mats i think
You get a ring for beating rank 5
A decent ring.. or?
doing restoration 81+ is going to be awful
Shit, it gives 1k
because the exp from turn ins is kneed capped
do endwalker leves/collectables to level to 90
yes, they dont want people stock piling old collectables
and getting max lvl instantly
does anyone have a working endwalker unspoiled timer site?
are there new lvl 90 mats in diadem now btw ?
No
Nope
when is savage coming?
what time's the maintenance? o_O
in jan
Why do so many people believe that EW jobs suck? Ppl are complaining that monk isn't fun cuz no more positionals, bard isn't fun because only half a bloodletter proc and 3 charges, and I saw someone complain that summoner is top easy now
because people are always going to bitch
someone's always going to be unhappy about the changes to a job
change is hard for some ppl.
you shouldn't bother with other people's opinions and figure out what jobs you enjoy yourself
and play those
i pre-ordered EW, but now i cannot find the full access code anywhere. No email, no code in my square enix account.
gaming communities are often times negative when it comes to change. nostalgia / "Rose-tinted glasses" is a big thing.
also most of the times people who enjoy something shut up and play the game, people who dont end up on reddit complaining. that also gives a wrong impression over the general reception
My mouse seems to almost get stuck while in combat and I move around my enemies weird. Is that something I can change? does not exist.
is it common to not be able to make a character in Aether at all?
Yes
It’s prime time
So tons of people are online
Your best chance is to make a character after maintenance ends at 2am PST
Almost like a target locking feature or something. Anyone know?
when the servers are this congested yes
try during the morning
ok good to know
what time is the maintenance?
hello folks and mind some one give me the patch update notes plz
also are there any up to date resources for a new player to watch/read to learn more about the game?>
10pm PST to 2 am PST
Yes there is a target lock feature, by default it's NUMPAD 5
thanks
In my opinion as WAR and in a friend's opinion as BRD, the jobs feel... simple. Personal thoughts, 90 war doesn't feel nearly as good combat wise as 80 did. Bloodwhetting is a beast and I love it, Primal Rend is fun but idk I just feel like it got, kinda dumbed down ig?
fixed! thanks so much!!
how much hours from now until maintenance?
is my game broken or is there a special quest to fly in yanxia
2.5
yanxia is a special zone because it's divided into two parts, whereas you cannot fly into the second part but you still unlock flying before going there
Bug. If your aether compass can’t find a current then submit a bug report at the support desk in-game
because of the barrier
yeah i cant fly at all
Nope. The last story quest in Yanxia would give the last quest current
you get flying before you get into the second area, at least from when I did the stormblood story on launch
Any tips for completing the threat of perplexity? I’m stuck at the part where I offer myself as bait and the npc guy helping me dies, even on very easy mode
unless it's been completely changed which is possible
Impossible, due to quest currents
And aether currents only found in the 2nd half
no, he is right, I fly toward the barrier and have to wait a lot to fly the rest of Yanxia
can i use xivanalysis for EW rotations and stuff yet? :o i assume they'd need to update it for the new patch
there are none on the second half
i even ask a mod why i cant fly the whole map
Including quest currents?
yes
i played it like 2 months ago
you unlock flying before you go through the barrier
so it quite current
despite having flying, you cannot access the second half because of the barrier and high mountains
but yeah if you cant fly at all even though you have all the currents and quest currents... maybe check and see if you can fly in other zones the same way
yeah i can
From where do I buy moonward gear?
its just yanxia
||Radz-at-Han||
did you have some of the currents done already before 6.0?
yeah
iirc several ppl who had some currents but not all are bugged with the changes
hopefully your problem gets fixed, fortunately flying isn't required for anything in yanxia
yeah i just was wondering if it was a bug or not
I've bought endwalker dlc but i am currently in heavenward, i just reached level 60 and i cant get any more xp?
did you redeem the code for starter and endwalker
i bought it on steam, do you know where i can find the code? @outer mural
rightclick on ffxiv on your steam library
should be a code section you can right click on
to get the special dialogue in EW, what level do classes need to be? 80?
does anybody know how to pass tru error i2501 i cant download endwalker because of it
thank you!!!
can you hide your current activity status ?
like on friends list can they always see what i’m doing ?
it is tied to the completion of job quests
right. but up to what level? just 80? or all the way to 90
Is there any lvl 90 quest for each job?
No, job quests are done for the old guys at least
Sadge

you can still queue
just cant use fantasia cus its need your character data to be loaded
whats fantasia
Emergency maintenance will be performed on all Worlds from Dec. 7, 2021 10:00 p.m. to Dec. 8, 2021 2:00 a.m. (PST).
Please log out before the maintenance begins.
See the News section for more details.
My game poped this for me
Ouch
nooooo
changing character race, appearance
maint 4 hours ?
No but the maint command should
2h
Maint is 4 hours long
:c
Happens 2 hour latter
Yes they are
NA is PST, EU is GMT, japan is japan
excuse me anyone knows where to get "Petalouda Scales"? a reagent
bicoloured gems from zone 5, dow/dom ventures, and also can get it as possible rewards from 2 alch leves
ELI5?
currency from EW or ShB fates, doing ventures and getting them via RNG, or you can do leves. not sure how merry could make it more simpler
bicoloured gems are from doing fates in shadowbringers and endwalker zones, the 5th zone for endwalker bicoloured gem vendor is the one that sells it

off mb too
For Reaper, do you have to hit Cross and Void Reaping from the flank and rear like you do Gibbet and Gallows?
no
Nice
thanks a lot sorry i didnt know what you were talking about
the bicolor gemstones are probably ur best bet but it's a slow grind
ye
what setting did i accidentally disable... When I hover over Fates or Quests on my map, they no longer show the title of them
it's a mob drop, so it will naturally just be a pain in the ass to get
its lv86 hunt venture
yeah, if it were gatherable, we would have suggested that, as that would be the easiest way
bicolor gemstones is the only way to farm for them without spending money or relying on others' supply
i mean how can a retainer get it for me then?
they need to be lvl 86
ah i found it, it was pop-up help
lol no rip
as merry said, level 86 hunt venture. if you send them out on a specific combat venture, they will randomly bring some back
i only have a miner and a botanist lvl 80
let me ask this first, have you unlocked ventures
speaking of which, i should level up my retainers 
sorry im fairly new so I dont know much about all this stuff
what level are you?
ain’t there an option that will chose the close enemy once I press an skill? cuz it’s annoying to having to select the enemy myself every time one dies!
no, you have to manually target again. on PC, you just press tab targetting
or it will auto select another enemy once the other one is dead???
90
im working on my DoH
just clarifying
I have a collectable to craft that ask me that mat but I couldnt find it anywhere
yeah it's dumb but you'll get used to it. tab targetting is your friend
I guess I will just do the previous until i can do the next and skip that one
I run on controller and unfortunatly my RB is double clicking from time to time T^T tho I’m lucky I have the xbox elite with the back paddles on the back, but it made my set up worthless and I’m still trying to get used to different congifuration now T^T
A friend wants to join my World center but they're all congested
hang in there
are they making a cahracter or transferring
I'm pretty sure there is, i use it all the time. Sometimes when I'm using AOE on a bunch of mobs and the mob i'm targeting dies, i just continue mashing my AOE and another enemy gets auto targeted due to this. it's the middle one here
thanks for the correction, let me try that as well. swore that wasn't there before
0.0 ok this is promising!!! I will tinker with this thank :3
it doesn't seem to work for single target, i'm spamming ruin and it's not auto targeting
i have that on and it hasn't autotargetted. i think that means it targets yourself with no target
Why is the option to register as mentor not appearing to me? I've already meet the achievements for it
i'm pretty sure you have to apply at one of the smithys
is there any way to stop travelling to another wqorld? it's taking too long
is it true that jobs can get adjustment when savage drops in Jan?
yes
there's a possibility there will be adjustments in both the .01 and .05 patch
granted it likely won't be major changes
but there will probably be a few potency adjustements and the like
It says "unable to obtain character data"
Is it cuz im free trial..? Or is it cuz of upcoming maintenance
its because the servers are currently under a lot of strain
I forgot how to use fantasia…I got it from my mail, used it, logged out and then back in, but nothing happened. What do
unequip all your gear, then edit your character before you login
you need to right click on your character at the character select, but that said if you're getting 'unable to obtain character data' you won't be able to edit your character until the servers are able to obtain it
I bought the collectors edition endwalker on the psn store and have yet to receive my mount and weapon
I'll wait then :p
does anybody here play the new iteration of summoner? I have a minor question about the rotation I checked in the balance discord but it didnt entirely answer the question i have
I just wanna know for when I have titan or garuda gem's active do I want to go like ruin 3, gemshine, astral flow? or just gemshine astral flow because the faster I go through them the faster I get my next demi up
oh nvm
expedient is the new 90 lol
s there a way to increase the size of npc chat bubbles? or add it to log if thats not possible?
Damn guess I need to wait for the servers to be fixed before I can become a bunboi
shouldnt be using ruin 3 during your primal/demi phases. you should be using gemshine/brilliance and astral flows
gemshine potency higher than ruin so always gemshine
titan's astral is ogcd so you'd weave it after gemshine
well yes but what i'm getting at is do I wanna weave the 3 together?
garuda's is an aoe puddle, so ideally want to use it when the enemies are going to be stationary for a while
if that makes sense
ruin 3 is what you use strictly during downtime, when you have neither primals nor demis up
i think i need to login to find out what astral flow is
astral flow is the favor buffs
idk what that means
the pheonix heal and bahamut deathflare
oh that
i can't even cast astral flow while using garuda/ifrit/titan
must be at a higher level than what i'm at
i'm only level 83
yes its 86 for primal astral flow
gotcha, ty
but anyways so when titan is out I dont need to worry about weaving 3 spells together and just focus on gemshive and astral flow?
so how about garuda's gemshines do i want to weave it with ruin 3 since it's an instant cast?
again, you do not want to use ruin 3 at all when you have a primal up
Can someone tell me without spoiling: About Role Quest AF gear is it ||lock behind msq lv89 or will i get it after finishing lv89 quest?||
it is your filler spell when you have nothing else up
its locked behind msq
i think i'd personally weave garuda's astral flow after ruin 4, since garuda gemshine is so fast i'd lose time in my gcd if i tried to weave anything between gemshines. i usually use my swiftcast for my first ifrit gemshine
but that's just me
ruin 4 is largely going to be used for movement/when you can cleave
Damn ,I used my Fantasia and logged out but I don’t see the option for re-editing my character and now I’m in a Queue
also garuda's astral flow is not instant
Hey all, I bought the EW collectors edition on psn and haven’t received my mount yet. Anyone else having this issue?
its cast
i thought astral flow was an ogcd
the only one you can weave is titan's
with instant cast time
both ifrit and garuda's astrals are gcds
some are GCD some aren't
@strange elbowyou wont be able to complete it until the server has a low population. After the maintenance may be a good time
You can’t use Fantasias if your character data doesn’t load, and they’re prioritizing queues
titans astral flow is OGCD and the demi summons are OGCD but garuda and ifrit are GCD
mhm
interesting
So now what will I loose it or I can do it any time
@strange elbowit'll be there
Ok I just play the game for now then ty
you can leave the queue. you needed to have removed all your gear (except your weapon) and then if the server can retrieve your character data, you can edit it. the fantasia effect will stay there until you confirm a character edit. I remember consuming mine and it sat there for 4 months because idk what to do until i just decided to change my eyebrows lmao
is egi glamour still a thing? at level 83 i have summon ifrit/titan/garuda but they only appear as carbuncles. i had glamoured them all as carbs before the update
yes it is:)
Nop
You can make all your pets ruby carbuncle to make up for it
wtf
it worked for me, how did you type it out? the command should be
/petglamour "carbuncle" "garuda-egi"
oh i see, i had to leave the second one blank to unglamour it
How long will the maintenance last?
4hrs
ty
Anyone received their Collector's edition mount yet?

Does bloodwhetting self heal depends on how strong the weaponskill we use? Like inner chaos heal more than heavy swing. Or is it just flat across the board?
Flat
So it doesnt matter what skill we use it heals us the same amount unless it crit?
what's the point of strength potions if the cooldown is 5 minutes?
If it is percentage, it would say "Absorb damage dealt as HP" or something along the line of that, with no potency written
Align it with big group buff
U use them during your burst window.
It can increase your burst damage by quite a bit
And spamming them every 30s would be annoying
And expensive
Can I safely skip credits?
i mean 5 minutes is fine but other potions are unusable
And for lack of a better term, wow-y
There's apparently something after them so idk
Tho 5 minutes seems like way too long. Imo should have been 3
At this point, they might as adjust the potency for all skills so we don't have to chug potion
why other potions are on 5 minutes cooldown when using str potions
yes, credits can be safely skipped. whatever is after them will play @verbal rune
Thanks
so the "cant be in queue cuz free trial" thing, is that permanent?
No
kk
they want you to choose the best to use, not using one after another
For now, because everyone wants to play the new expansion
All craftable potions share a cooldown
wack
how do i get the master crafter recipes?
It's a "potion" cooldown
What level?
How long until MT?
90?
should separate str from health potions at least
Potd/hoh/eureka pots have their own cooldown
Nobody drinks health potion
when does maintenance begin? 50 mins later?
Health pots are deliberately shit so it wouldn't be much benefit
!maint
50 minutes from now
health potion are useless pass level 50 or so
50 mins
Trade items for 1&2, scrips for the rest
There is a sb potion but idk what the stats squish has done to it, still useful in hoh tho
Can Endwalker be played in NG+?
No
I see, need to wait?
where can i get level 90 gear
but honestly, outside soloing, no one use it
(I assume not, since ng+ was not mentioned in live letters and what not)
Finish your role Quest
It’s from msq progress
Does the instance timer counts down when your DC'd ?
Like if I get in Zadnor and DC for 30 min will I still be in ?
Yeah, the NG+ tabs don't have Endwalker... should be added later
89-90 gear is msq, it'll be very obviously called out when you get to it
no, if you dc for that long you get booted lol
I want to play though the story again later in another language
I mean I got dc'd because my game couldn't load Zadnor and now I just can't get back in the game
mmm well i woudnt worry too much, maints in 48 min anyway
Not because of Q's, just because the game actively crash when I get back in
Eh either way I started a Repair file
That's more of a traffic issue, not a "DC inside zadnor" issue
Anyone play on playstation?
There is no traffic it's 6AM
There is literally 0 Q
It's early in the morning servers are as free as they can be
You can still rewatch cutscenes with language settings changed
does anyone know where we can get Giant Popoto
Eh, I'll just wait for EW to be added to NG+
Shouldn't take too long
Dunno where else to ask but it seems like they removed half of the aether currents quests. But I already have all the ones still in the game but it didn't unlock flying for me. Anyone else having this issue/ know a fix?
one missing in amh araeng
mhm
So I'm on the sea of clouds and can't find the last aether current quest anywhere, is this a bug?
Does the compass show nothing?
Yeah it show nothing
hmmm... All aether current quests are also done right?
Oh well, time to play Endwalker!
anyway to get back in?
f
Yeah I saw this problem on reddit before, hopefully the maintenance later will fix it.
For now, just continue MSQ and start Endwalker I guess
you'll have to go through the queue again, razgriz. at this point, don't bother. 39 min til maintenance
Well rip me I guess since im in 5.2 I think
try contacting support, trap. sure the gms can help out with that
there's this audio visualizer thing that shows up on both sides of my screen - does anyone know how to turn this off? it only shows up during ffxiv
Yea I'll do that just wanted to check if there was an easier fix I was missing
turn off 'visual alerts'
AH bless ur heart - thanks mans
I found some incorrect lines in the Lv. 80 RPR job quest
how old is alisaie in end walker
Is there a channel where I can send a screenshot of it?
same age as before. in-universe, something like a few months has passed since the start of ARR iirc
really only a few months
if there are errors in the game, you should be posting that to the Official forums
I see. Thanks
Aether compass? it's in your collections
thanks it work now 😄
For trusts, do the trust avatars ever get AOE?
servers go down in 15 min? or 1h 15min
they usually spam single target and occasionally do a voiceline and do an aoe attack
tanks use aoe
14 minutes
nooooooo
what can i spend white crafter scripts in now?
materia9
materials, gear, materia, glams, I think there is a minion in there somewhere
can u overmeld blue gear?
not usually
the gear says if it cannot be overmelded
Is there a criteria to receive my collectors endwalker items. i have been on a different server and switched back to my original and I don't see anything in the mail
they're doing maintenance in about 12 minutes to help address that
is there poetic gear for 80 now?
aug cryptlurker
So the maint is for that?
yes, you can get it in crystarium near the aetheryte
how long this maintenance gonna last?
Maint is to help alleviate the errors while queueing
thanks! will look for it
among other things
4h
Where does it say
wow so i finally can get on the servers after 4 days of trying and now im getting kicked off?
lodestone
I am on the page for main is there a more detailed one?
It was announced a bit ago
That is one of a few valid ways to look at it
will i be auto logged out?
Yep
Not exactly.
alright so i just beat the level 90 trial and maintenance is about to hit, whats gonna happen when i log back in?
same overall effect, its not "logging out" tho, the server just goes away
does anyone have experience with this?
You will have a queue.
so there won't be any corruption to my character if i stay logged in until servers go down?
oh am i gonna need to beat the level 90 trial again?
I wouldn't go gamble all your gil if that's what you're asking
like am i just gonna get sent straight to the cutscene when i log back in or wassup?
Did you exit the trial via the exit?
i have not exited
should i? i am still in right now
this was fun but it was a bitch and a half to assemble the party, please advise lol
yes, worst case scenario is you rewatch the scenario in the inn room.
if i logout while visiting another world server, will i still be in that world when i log back in or will it put me back in my own world? i was in a housing area when i logged out, if that helps
Is the lv 80 Quest "Missing Alchemist" Bugged? There are only 2 crates in the water, but you need to collect 5....
you will be in the world you visited @sweet leaf
ty
they will kick you out of the instance and you will be back in the world were you were before the instance
some are underwater, some are overwater, and there are 2 circles with crates. I think, IIRC
after the mantanance
Huh, 2 circles ok, I didn't know you could swim under that water either...
what happens with the cutscene? it is ltierally the ending of the entire game so im curious what happens here
i wanna surprise my gf with my new character lol, i started as glad, and trekked all the way to gridania so i can wait outside our house but since i have basic sub, i can only have 1 character per world, so i had to visit world
well guess i'll find out at 2am i guess
maintenance in 4 mins right?
haven't played Stormblood?
by level 80 you would have had to have done that at least 7 times in the story
its uhhh, shift+space or ctrl+space
or circle
Is there an action to go under water? ohhh ok I must have forgotten
Ctrl space on pc
is the maint 4 hour long ?
projected. may be longer, may be shorter
why maint when i have free day 
If you are disconnected during a cutscene, including by server maintenance such as this, then upon login you automatically resume from the beginning of the current scene.
is it for logins issues problems ?
Yes
there are afew benefits to it. It kicks out all the people that were bypassing afk logout. They're also working on adding capacity so you might be able to play more regularly in the future.

they ad the back up servers for the loging queue, cuz the 2002 error was when the capacity of 17.000 was reached
Don't forget maintenance is a good thing as it will fix stuff ... hopefully.
It’s intended to alleviate the occurrence of errors that happen when in queue
Maybe they virtualized some FFXI servers and reallocated hardware
it will aleviate some of the 2002 errors, you will be getting less of them
so.. will the maintenance start at 10PM pst? or a little bit after 10pm pst hits?
a minute passed and I am still in my world lol
The maintenance has started.
Yeah takes a few
and by this point people already start to stop playing
You are now linkdead.
amma wait
the queue seemns to be shorter
I actually never had them to begin with
My game crashed when exiting... weird
uhh im still in the game.... is that normal?
Yes, you game doesn't know there are no servers to communicate with
Takes a bit to kick everyone
I got them 3 2002 errors playing on the 3rd day, but I got in queue back fast enough so my place was keep
Exactly. It's a big conspiracy from the FFXIV devs to prevent you from playing forever.
Yeah the server manually kicks everyone one by one until the server itself is shut down
good. thought i was about to become one dude from overlord
That’s not why.
Because the server crashing while people are logged in can cause issues
guys quick question plez
is there no followthru with weapons? like, attacking multiple creatures at the same time
XD lol the world of eorzia won’t be nice to isekay
there are weapon combos?
Use AoE skills
all attacks are single target unless specified otherwise
ah okie
Rip my plans to hit 80 tonight haha. What to do for the next 4 hours ay lads
!action total eclipse
For example
im stupid
out of all the MMOs in existence i think ffxiv would be the one i would be okay with being trapped in
fuckkkkkk
how long is it gonna take
4 hours
4 hours estimated
projected is 4 hours
whats the maintenance for
just long enough to apply a patch and top up some coolant
Alleviating the queue errors
is there a way to hide people ? how.
yes
you sure? even if you get to be WoL I don’t think normal humans as us can actualy stay saine with going through what our characters go thrpigh
so, 8, 20 minute episodes of anime
yall this aint dicussion
Not without plugins which currently aren’t functioning
irl, in game, or in discord?
You can hide names
you can hide their names
You can however hold down X (default keybind) to ignore players in the way when trying to click on objectives
That is a graphics setting to allow you to tune down how many character models are shown on screen
currently no, plugins on XIVLauncher are busted until Dalamud is updated
ok. thanks
Or press numpad 0 (default) to interact with the nearest thing that isn’t a player
either using the press and hold button, so it's much easier to interact with npcs. or another button where you can completely hide UIs, useful for playing leap of faith in gold saucer
i've forgotten the button names though
Use them together if there’s a bunch of people crowding in one spot
watch pyromancer playing SHB on an stream of 6 hours :3
Making
How long is the maintenance, please?
2am pst
are they addressing the queue crashes (hello 2002) ?
I’m a level 46 smn. Can I actually do a rotation that summons the primals or am I just stuck with the blue carbuncle and mashing one button for single target/aoe?
I see. 6pm for me. Thank you!
read the lodestone post but tl;dr yes short of implementing new servers
you're stuck with the egis until 70 for bahamut, 80 for phoenix, and endwalker for the primals full
even when you reach 90, you still mashing 1-2 button though
is MCH one of the simplest jobs? or i'm just not there yet (lvl 58 now)
it's simple but fast
It is on the simpler side
Is there a rotation that gets the egis to populate? I just keep getting “you can’t do that now” when I try to summon egi ifrit.
This is not necessary to post here, especially not with a spoiler tag on it
buff from aethercharge or any upgrade from it @silk ether
I can only seem to get blue carbuncle with shield.
Ok. I’ll give it a try. Thank you.
Aethercharge > charge egi gems > use egis > repeat
i see, thanks.
did you try it in combat? you cant summon them out of combat
answering questions
I’ve just been using the aether points on the damage abilities. I’ll try to press the summons buttons tomorrow if I can get on.
I don’t miss the DOTs. If I figure out the egis, I’ll be golden.
How do I make my level 90 summons ummm... smaller and less... insanely bright?
Only 40 levels to go then!
/petsize all small
or something of this sort, you can look up syntax in macro menu -> text commands
when do you unlock the gems so you can summon ifrit garuda etc?
when you get bahamut at 70?
you unlock them really early but you summon carbuncles at first
where can i get gshade info?
level 6?
job quest, job quests
is 6.1 going to be a new content like bozja/zadnor euereka for ew ?
we dont know
bahamut at 70, phoenix at 80
thoughts.
that is usually x.2
the only thing I'm sure of is island sancutary but like
or x.25
what is that
we can't say for certain if the relic will be .1x or not
simply for the fact taht both stormblood and shadowbringers relics were slightly delayed
most of the time relics release on x.1 ?
just have to wait for the live letters to tell us what's coming
speaking of phoenix, should i be just planting its heal on the maintank?
ye
guys, i was trying to find an elite weekly hunt on the moon. do they spawn randomly or do i just have to keep circling the area ?
newer expansion B marks usually spawn in their thematic areas
I'm guessing its the same as all the other elite weeklys, circle till you find it.
so look in areas where it would make sense for it to be
B ranks have a near instant respawn yeah?
yes
B ranks are weekly yes ?
ARR and to a degree HW B ranks are annoying in that they can spawn basically throughout the whole zone
yes
Centurio hunts is still doing SHB hunt trains if im not wrong
is this real ?
link
Not that I am aware of, and the sheer amount of wrong information on that page makes it highly suspect

it is correct
it was discussed in one of the LL/fanfest for endwalker
that male viera will be added with endwalker and female hrothgar sometime later
As a npc or playable.
playable
playable in blitzball?
thanks.
Any help with the last sync mission for post shadowbringers
The roach guy keeps 1 shotting me
I just did that one and have zero recollection of it. Don't get covid kids.
lemme look it up
Are you geared up
535Itemlevel
Oh wait that doesn’t matter for role play parts
I would check youtube for the name of the quest if I could remember the name of the quest
Will maintenance fix server congestion
No
is there any way to have voiced cutscenes auto advance but non voiced cutscenes have the prompt
Not permanently
It'll push back some of it, but the fundamental problem is the inability to get the hardware they require for the game
They've already tried paying over market rate
Only during maintenance period :)
It's literally not available for them
Are you using break like they said to?
What’s their long term plan for the congestion? Do I really gotta wait 2 hours every time if I wanna play
They've already purchased the servers, the ETA is sometime next year
Servers are backordered. Oceanic Datacenter. Standard ebb and flow of players. a few more technical details.
gshade, but you don't want the best, you just want it to look real good
you can try xivmodarchive but most of the focus is on player character assets
Isn't that the same thing?
they have presets that are specifically made for screenshots because they tank your framerate
they look... REALLY GOOD though
just grab gshade and paw around with the presets marked gameplay
I just want constant good graphics where I can't count the pixels
I was trying to download the game but it keeps saying me that the servers are off :c
servers are offline until 0200 pacific time
so i was checking out the changes for monk in 6.0, i feel so lost...
currently 2242 pacific time
I downloaded the game while the new update came out and had to wait ages for that and then like 4 hours for queue timer
gshade looking 'good' is highly subjective by the player. all 'improvements' by gshade that i've ever seen looked like overblown oversaturated garbage
damn
Since it's a login server maintenance, you physically can't log in to start the download
you're telling me.
Gshade is completely configurable to your own preferences so
I mean I bought the game off steam and was doing the base download
You have the freedom to make it look like what you personally judge to be good
And then I had to do another when maintenance was over
That's only the launcher
Unless you mean you started the download in the launcher
How much is the monthly fee?
!faq subprice
I can't remember man but I had to wait ages any way because of the maintenance
I usually get the card off amazon even though I know I should just get crysta
$13 is already super reasonable with the amount of stuff you can play in one month
Okay, so I have a question involving I wouldn't say data mining, but does anyone have info extracting music from the games files? If this question is technically against the ToS or Rules please let me know.
OST's on spotify
Odd question, but what happened to those guys that were DDOSing during the stormblood launch? did they get... taken care of.
I'm talking EW specifically
I wouldn't recommend discussing it
i mean, the W game had a lot for just 9.99, but I get it, why 12.99, its okey
There is a basic sub option that only allows one character per server
That's the 12.99 sub
How much is the more expensive one?
!faq subprice
like 1 or 2 usd more
Do note that you pay for all the days at once
same price if you buy the 180 days
I'd recommend entry unless you have alt addiction but even then being able to space your play days out is nice
Wait is this a 4 hour maintenance? I read 30 minutes somewhere
ask kupo bot in the bot spam channel
he says 4 hours, he seems trustworthy. Has an honest pom.
ty
For PC, you guys using controller or keyboard/mouse? I have an mmo mouse but controller seems like it’d be fun to try.
controller is comfy
As long as you can press buttons any control method works
I know people who only use mouse
Not even MMO mouse just
A regular office mouse
Clickers?
terrifying
is maintenance done?
Ew. Haha.
both are viable and entirely depends on the inidivudal for what they prefer
people swear by both
3 hours
I don't know, is it?
It isn't, anyways, and you can check in #lodestone-news-na
I see thank you
I think I’m gonna give controller a try. Just need to see about synching my PS4 controller to the computer.
Many players prefer healing on controller actually
It’s super viable
Just target party with dpad up/down
Mostly you only need to target tanks

anecdotally.. the tanks need the least healing of everybody in certain content
cant imagine dpading it
After getting used to that Hori gamepad I won't be going back to regular keyboard
Oh which lv do I unlock AF gear? Lv 88 or 89?
Anyone know where I can find a discord server to trade NA codes to EU codes?
End of lv 88 MSQ quests?
It’s lvl 89 gear
kk, is it like, first quest of lv 89?
Can you have a survival manual and crafting manual active at the same time? The one which gives +150% exp fir 15 hours
No
What no
I wouldn't
Hun
No point, next dungeon is the lvl 90 one anyway
Coffers dude
Sold them 
You unlock it in the MSQ At level 89
And coffers, yeah
Role Quests simply unlock the ability to dye them
Is the ||lv 89 dungeom|| before or after you get Artifact Gear?
Before
I see...
Oh well, guess I'll do the dungeon with Cryptlurker gear lol
At least trust runs are just pack by pack pull lol
It's the second 89 quest I think
kk
Don't quote me
Thanks all!


thank you both
