If they keep doing it just kick em

[glad robin]

Yeah cuz it’s in an MSQ thing and it’s getting annoying lol

[shrewd cradle]

how often does lodestone update your selected character

[rich gazelle]

Then I'd say kick

[shrewd cradle]

it captured me while I was changing outfits :(

it's too niche of a question 😩

[mental oracle]

Do I unlock eulmore aetherite after finishing shb?

or toward the end

[leaden ginkgo]

at a later time yes

[boreal aurora]

is there a easy way to get centurio seals

[normal oasis]

is there an option somewhere to make it so I don't always have to put a check in this box?

[hollow violet]

What's materia stat priority for AST? Crit/Dh/det?

[faint flare]

Substat maths are still being mathed out

[hollow violet]

in general is fine. Just something to put old materia 8s on while waiting on the final answer

[open coral]

For now, assume the same as last expansion.

But until the math is done, we can't even know in general because there's not enough data.

[hollow violet]

gotcha

[faint flare]

Usually crit isn't super strong in the first gear tier so just throw anything really

[static yacht]

it depends on the error code

if it was a server blow up, then it kicks you to start, if its a 2002, you get closed

90% of streamers are on gilg or highly populated servers, so the server probably blew up

[boreal aurora]

is there a easy way to get centurio seals

[sick osprey]

is determination materia on scholar ok ?

also are there any quirks i need to know about melding? like stat limits or whatever?

[faint flare]

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

[mortal cloud]

I tried unplugging my ethernet cable last night and was able to play fine for many hours. Even logging in gave me zero disconnects. This morning, I decide to test if the ethernet was actually what fixed it by plugging it back in, got DCed while playing again. Except now I get 2002 every single time I press start, regardless of if the ethernet is plugged in or not.

And I even tried connecting to other data centers with no results. What the heck is going on?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys, mogstation name change and homeworld have been in maintenance for like 2 days already?

[static yacht]

2002 error isn't because of your internet SE lied.

[leaden ginkgo]

At least in my accounts

[sick osprey]

does it make a big difference in dps/hps if i go crit, direct hit, or determination?

[static yacht]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/r9o55d/server_congestion_and_login_queues_errors_2002/hndams1/

[leaden ginkgo]

Any idea why or when it will finish?

[narrow jay]

Possibly server overload, possibly dropped packets along the ISP's infrastructure path. Remember that your service provider, and the service provider to the SE servers, is also part of the physical connection and can have faulty stuff along the way.

[mortal cloud]

Pretty sure it's for none of the user-side reasons stated there when my internet is working just fine, and that I was in game for several hours last night with no issues. And since then, nothing has changed.

[strange coral]

They haven't announced a date for either one

[mortal cloud]

But even Japan's data center, which is the emptiest right now, is also refusing to let me in.

[static yacht]

the thing I posted said its not user sided, hence why I said SE lied. It's because every 15 minutes in queue the client closes its connection and opens a new one

[sick osprey]

is there any way to meld materia without leveling a crafter?

[mortal cloud]

I just pinged the server and lost none of the packets... This doesn't make any sense.

[strange coral]

Use a materia melder NPC. You can find them in the cities, usually around the market areas

[static yacht]

packet loss isn't causing the error. read the post

[mortal cloud]

I read that post when it was sent. They said one of the main causes was packet loss. The other was data center overpopulation.

[static yacht]

"The somewhat nice thing about this though, is that the behavior is predictable. So it's only possible (minus packet loss, etc) to crash once every 15 minutes from when you reach the Character Selection screen in the game. So you can go afk and set a timer to come back and check if you've crashed."

" Unless there's an open slot within the 17,000 concurrent character limit the lobby server will immediately close your new connection and your client will crash with error 2002."

AKA its on their end

[mortal cloud]

Neither of which makes sense when I can ping them fine, and Japan's data center is also refusing my connection.

[strange coral]

All traffic for a datacenter goes through a gateway. Even when servers are congested and 2002s are happening, you can usually ping the gateway just fine, but you can't ping specific services behind it.

[white isle]

whats the beat level 80 reaper gear and where can i find it at?

[boreal storm]

Cryptlurker

[faint flare]

Cryptlurker in crystarium for poetic

[strange coral]

When you ping the known IPs for datacenters, you're pining that gateway, not the servers behind it

[white isle]

Thank u ill look for it

who sells it again

[boreal storm]

Sundry splendor, it’s a blue bag

[white isle]

thank you

[mortal cloud]

That last point was disproven by the fact that the emptiest of the data centers also gives me a 2002. It's clearly not a population problem.

[upper pendant]

If i delete items that i bought through the store can i get them back from the calamity people?

[mortal cloud]

From my perspective, I could be fooled into thinking the servers crashed. Since I first got booted from the game, and then I couldn't connect to any data center after many, many attempts.

Except apparently it's just me experiencing this.

[limber parcel]

This is my first expansion launch, I'm nearing the end of the story, but am i missing something, i've unlocked no beast tribe dailies? Do they come in later patches or something?

[strange coral]

Later patches, yes

[faint flare]

Yes they do

[limber parcel]

Ok thanks 🙂

[faint flare]

Expansion launches are usually pretty bare with just story and starting extremes

With other stuff coming later

[limber parcel]

Ah okay, will use the time to level up alts and stuff then, thank you 🙂

[fleet steppe]

Uh... my launcher isn't displaying notifications or the login stuff

legit just stuck like this

[strange coral]

Mine too

[fleet steppe]

the legacy launcher is working

oh shit nvm it just loaded
weird...

[lethal mist]

Is there an inn in Mor Dhona?

[boreal storm]

No only in the “main hubs”

[copper thistle]

why does dark knight feel more like a dps than a tank where is my defensives? all my abilities are damage

[faint flare]

That's every tank

[boreal storm]

You have defensive cool downs

And a invul

[trail rivet]

how can you quickly check which instance you're in?

[stark hawk]

is alphinaud an elezen?

[strange coral]

Yes

[boreal storm]

Look at the chat

[trail rivet]

what if i don't want to scroll up

[strange coral]

/instance

[trail rivet]

thank you!

[copper thistle]

what invul i dont have it

[strange coral]

Living Dead. What level are you?

[steel canopy]

Living dead, unlocked at 50

[sick oak]

does Holmgang only prevents dying from one attack and then the buff disappears? or does it prevent your HP from going down below 1 for the whole 10seconds

[faint flare]

The whole duration

[copper thistle]

oh i just didnt have it slotted

[river vortex]

is there a guide to powerleveling gatherer/crafters from lvl 60 onwards?

[wintry trellis]

Tbh I just no lifed the diadem in ishgard restoration. Only downside is you don’t gain new gathering stuff so you lose some exp. but that’s a method some people dont use. You can also go through and gather new stuff per area, and leves are probably the best way to get as much as possible in a given time

[steel canopy]

Namazu tribes also a thing.

[strange coral]

custom deliveries, namazu beast tribe (60-70), qitari beast tribe (gatherers 70-80), dwarves beast tribe (crafters 70-80), crystarium deliveries (if not already done, 70-80), collectibles (either regular for both or firmament for crafters), leves from each expansion

Also gc turn ins? Something I always hear about and forget to look in to myself

[wintry trellis]

Oh yeah I often forget those exist as well

[twilit arch]

ye, gc turins are always good to do

[inland pasture]

Is there a way to fix going afk for a bit and when you come back there's no sound? Without restarting the game?

[leaden ginkgo]

why is the queue so ungodly large rn

[faint flare]

Cause it's peak time

Everyone us home from work

[leaden ginkgo]

7pm is peak time?

[faint flare]

Yes?

[steel canopy]

Ah right HQ ones give quite a bit

[twilit arch]

7pm is when most people are home from work and school and can log in

[sudden dock]

i see there's an option to turn off the confirmation when selling untradeable gear, is there a similar option to turn off confirmation for desynthing gear?

[stone solstice]

hi does anyone know roughly which is the fastest level 90 dungeon to spam for tomes

[upper cove]

What are the resplendent crafters component A/B/C used for?

[modest cypress]

How can I see my exotic when I wear another gear

[boreal aurora]

can i throw the compass away from this inventory https://i.imgur.com/bgTEyga.png

[humble epoch]

can i switch server for better que times?

[boreal storm]

Right click

[old fable]

You can apply glamour plates to your Armor set. Or you can also link you glamour plate to a job set in case you want the same gear to have different looks on multiple jobs

[strange coral]

Collectible turn ins

[boreal aurora]

but the right side is empty

[leaden ginkgo]

throw away, Duty -> Collection, assign new compass

[boreal aurora]

where its supposed to be

[upper cove]

@strange coral are those woerth it to do above lvl.80?

[boreal aurora]

got it

[strange coral]

I don't know I haven't level my crafters past 80 yet

[upper cove]

Was looking for stuff to spend white scrip on and stumbled upon it

No worries ty!

[steel canopy]

Didn’t they nerf xp above lvl80 for below 80 turnins?

[upper cove]

I have no idea what level collectibles those are tbh

Don't rmb seeing these materials

[fringe bone]

is there anyone know knows when the maintance of the mogstation site will be over? (cant do any additional services)

[wintry trellis]

Only if you can see your character. If not then no. Also you’d get stuck there til next login. Soooo regardless you will fight a login Q

[strange coral]

The ones I see on GarlandDB are all level 80

[twilit arch]

the resplendent materials are bought with white scrips

[humble epoch]

Doesn't the game have a backup if you get randomly dc, so you dont have to stand in que once fucking again?

[upper cove]

@strange coral thanks man

[upper cove]

Yea I stumbled upon it. Didn't realise it was available before. Not too sure what else to spend the white scrips on sadly

[karmic summit]

Realized ask the question in wrong chat but I just hit lvl 80 with samurai and I’m still very new to game was wondering if I could get help setting up hot bar to be a good dips

[upper cove]

Any recommendations on what to spend white scrips on?

Alr got all recipes and 80 gear

[twilit arch]

stock up on materia

for overmelding

[upper cove]

I assume I trade in for the grade 8 ones and mutamix them?

Since 9 and 10 are from purple scrips unless my brain is messing with me

[strange coral]

9 is from white scrips

[fringe bone]

is there anyone know knows when the maintance of the mogstation site will be over? (cant do any additional services)

[upper cove]

Ah awesome thank you

[strange coral]

Maintenance was 8-ish hours ago. If they have new maintenance, they haven't announced it.

[solid garnet]

reaper is slaying or fending?

[upper cove]

Slaying accessories

[unreal umbra]

Guys what tanks, dps and healers that are good for endgame content? is there a tier list for each content type? like dungeon x y z etc.

[fringe bone]

Can you try and check if stuff like home world trasnfer and character renaming works for you ? cus when i do it says

[strange coral]

Oh. those two services specifically are suspended currently. They haven't given a date for when they'll be back.

[fringe bone]

oh fr?

[upper cove]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[unreal umbra]

Oh ok thank you ❤️

[fringe bone]

unlucky i guess i saved a name for when bunnyboys came out now i cant use it lol

[upper cove]

Any job can work in any content

@unreal umbra so feel free to play whatever feels fun to you!

[unreal umbra]

Thank you

[vivid elm]

does levelling dungeon in duty roulette exp scale?

[tardy bay]

out of game question: I want to gift a friend a timecard for 60 days, but all the ones I find see to yb "physical", and I did want to send it to him tomorrow. any place where I just get the codes?

[strange coral]

The bonus you get for completion once a day does. The exp from the dungeon itself does not.

[vivid elm]

ah so its not worth doing past the first

[strange coral]

Right

Otherwise you could end up in Sastasha and get very little exp

[wintry trellis]

I love sastasha

[leaden ginkgo]

any1 know abt this

[strange coral]

The SE store sells digital time cards by the look of it

[tardy bay]

odd, they want my adress for some reason tho

[covert marlin]

does clearing more mobs prior to a boss gives more exp when defeating the boss?

[leaden ginkgo]

didnt they remove mob exp?

[tardy bay]

yeah

[covert marlin]

ah they just removed it completely?

[strange coral]

For dungeons yes

[covert marlin]

alright thanks!

[strange coral]

The exp comes from the bosses now

[covert marlin]

so killing more mob doesn't make the boss give more exp?

[strange coral]

You might need to whitelist the game in your antivirus. Basically the error means it's having trouble writing to the files in your Documents folder where it stores settings and such.

[strange coral]

I doubt that it makes a difference, but haven't tested or heard from anyone to confirm

[covert marlin]

alright thank you!

[lament root]

Hello !
So I started "playing" Final Fantasy XIV the 3rd of December (having only played Final Fantasy on NES and Final Fantasy 4 on SNES and it's wayyy different lol)
Maybe it wasn't the right time to begin playing to be honest, since I can only play during the morning, except weekends (which I do not work at this time rarely).
But I have a few questions about that.
From past experience, how long did it takes for queues to return to normal after the release of an extension?
Also, I really do not want to leave the free trial before being deep into the game. (Well, I did got a physical edition of the game.... Twice because I accidentally bought Shadowbringer thinking it would be bundled with the base game, and it was the only thing at the store lol, I had to buy the starter edition online)
I really want to play, but being unable to play if there are queues on free trial just make it impossible to play. Should I wait or just leave the free trial now?

Thanks a lot 🙏

(By the way i'm sorry if there are grammatical errors, English isn't my first language)

[strange coral]

It's hard to say. To my memory, the last expansion launch didn't have queues as bad except for maybe the first day.

[weak trail]

has anyone done the grubhub thing yet?

[lament root]

Oh, so it wasn't as bad the last time, there's a lot of new players?

[strange coral]

I remember having queues in the hundreds, but not thousands like this time

The game got very popular this year

[fringe bone]

its cus wow players are coming to ff

[lament root]

Yeaaah, I had a queue of 8000 yesterday lol

[fringe bone]

i'd say check in a week if its still that bad add another week and so on

[lament root]

I see, thanks a lot !

[radiant brook]

has anyone done the grubhub collab thing yet?

[strange coral]

It's not active yet

Campaign Period

Thursday, December 9, 2021 at 4:30 p.m. to Wednesday, December 15, 2021 at 8:59 p.m. (PST)

[weak trail]

so 4 more hours?

or around that

[strange coral]

Yea

[solid garnet]

samurai's this one?

[strange coral]

Yes

[crimson yacht]

Is each marketboard tied to only a town can you sell globally

[strange coral]

The listings are shared across all cities

[slate arrow]

Listings are universal per server

[vernal urchin]

how long can it take for chi to spawn?

[feral oxide]

With the shire accessories, Custodian is supposed to be for tanks (since some pieces have tenacity) and Pankrataist for melee DPS, right? But on pieces that the tank ones don't have tenacity, are the not sometimes better for the DPS (and are usable by all classes)?
For instance the "tank" bracelet has Str Vit Crit and SKill Speed, while the "dps" one has Str Vit Direct Hit and Tenacity. So wouldn't the tank bracelet be better for DPS too? Since Crit is better than DH and Det is supposedly worthless whilst skill speed isn't

[strange coral]

Possibly? We just had a stat squish/rebalance and job changes. Plus I don't think anyone really does BiS calculations for level 60. So who knows

[feral oxide]

I mean it's more about if it's worth only getting one set for both roles to save tomes

[strange coral]

It's up to you. I think used the dps accessories when I leveled my tanks since I already had them and didn't run in to any issues

[hard aurora]

@vernal urchin like.. the skill chi?

[vernal urchin]

no, the final zone fate

[slate arrow]

For what it's worth you can use pankarist on tanks since both accessories have the same amount of vitality and strength iirc

[hard aurora]

ah, sorry i dont know

[slate arrow]

so the only difference is tenacity if it even exists but tenacity is so insignificant like

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[onyx kiln]

has anyone tried to do old content to see how much the stat squeeze affected playing older content unsynced?

curios on if it is easier, harder or no noticeable difference

[slate arrow]

That's hard to say

The real test will come with UwU and UCoB

[sleek needle]

I'd suggest checking out faloop or whatever hunt discord primal uses and check through that

[slate arrow]

Some people have been doing them and report that some DPS require extra migitation to survive certain raidwides

Right now it seems to be that everyone deals more DPS than before but at the same time everyone has less HP than before

[boreal aurora]

where is last bluequest for flying i dont see it on the map ||https://i.imgur.com/KHesoK0.png||

[strange coral]

Did you finish the msq for that zone?

[boreal aurora]

yes

i finished the entire msq already

oh man nvm

[strange coral]

Zoom in on the north part. Maybe it's buried under the other markers? I know I did all of them for that zone.

[boreal aurora]

i have it in my quest log

[strange coral]

Ah

[boreal aurora]

it was hidden for some reason i disabled tracking lol

[fiery pagoda]

is there a dragoon's Elusive Jump macro that auto turns my character 180 degrees when jumping so i dont have to turn my character beforehand

[slate arrow]

No, macros cannot affect camera or character movement

[fiery pagoda]

@slate arrow i dont use camera movement to turn my character tho

[slate arrow]

edited

[fiery pagoda]

since i use legacy type

[wintry trellis]

You can use legacy movement

[slate arrow]

Use legacy and face backwards before using elusive

[wintry trellis]

^

[fiery pagoda]

it doesnt work as efficiently

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[strange coral]

Regardless, it's not possible to do with a macro

[wintry trellis]

Macros are anything but useful in ff

[fiery pagoda]

so there is no command i can use that turns where my character is facing?

[slate arrow]

You take the bridge further north

From the other aetheryte

[fiery pagoda]

it's actually more difficult to use elusive jump with legacy type :'(

[boreal storm]

How?

[boreal aurora]

what i dont understand

[fiery pagoda]

turning camera is quicker than using key

[fiery pagoda]

when u use key, the character actually takes longer to turn

like the animation

[tardy bay]

another question, not for me:

What am I supposed to do if the mogstation doesn't let me activate the time card I bought (for someone)?
We looked through the FAQ with no answers

[regal pawn]

you can go from the top, assuming oyu have the aetheryte

[boreal storm]

And if you don’t, woof woof is there

[regal pawn]

woofer

[boreal aurora]

i have it

[regal pawn]

but ye
just from the top

[boreal aurora]

this map really needs flying

[regal pawn]

go get flying

[boreal storm]

It does have flying, you have to unlock it

[boreal aurora]

on it

i know

[split kelp]

anyone know if delubrum reginae savage is any easier now? Heard you get the 300% stat boost now but idk if thats true

[hard aurora]

every class is balanaced

*will be balanced by the time savage raids come out

for what it's worth at a glance all healers seem balanced especially since they're no longer compeiting for the same healer role

now it's just WHM vs AST and SCH vs SGE

[hidden socket]

My number's been stuck at 232 for about 40 minutes ago and one of my friends mentioned that he saw numbers glitch like this before; should still be fine and eventually get in right?

is there a way to turn off this notification? i'm not looking for a party https://i.imgur.com/JrOEmwL.png

thank you

[karmic niche]

So, anyone still playing DRK?

[slate arrow]

i know enough whats the question

[karmic niche]

How does it feel playing it at lvl 90?

[slate arrow]

it's basically the same as ShB DRK

[karmic niche]

Oh,still the meh version of warrior

I heard you can't use the aoe heal and that other one anymore

[slate arrow]

they share a cooldown now yes

[karmic niche]

Ouch...

[dim rain]

where do you have to go to get the digital collector's code after you've bought endwalker? i went to the square enix store, under my orders and it only shows shadowbringers.. and i've been playing endwalker since early access started

[slate arrow]

where did you buy the CE code

[random kestrel]

oh so you can buy the starter pack and then later on buy the shadowbringer pack and it adds up to be the same as the complete edition right?

[slate arrow]

no, collectors edition is completely different

[random kestrel]

shoot complete edition myb

[slate arrow]

then yes

[strange coral]

Starter+Endwalker adds up to Complete edition

[random kestrel]

Cool, thanks guys

[lilac bolt]

!faq

[dim rain]

from the square enix store..

[karmic niche]

It should be under your order

[strange coral]

If you have the email that they sent for the Early Access key, you can open that again and use the link. The same page should have the expansion code now (which includes the collector's stuff)

[slate arrow]

What Aril said

[strange coral]

As far as it not showing the purchase on your account, you probably ordered it as a guest or a different account

The emailed link should still work regardless

[leaden ginkgo]

Does Feint stacks with Reprisal?

[slate arrow]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Nice, ty

[wintry trellis]

People were protesting the changes on aether - siren two weeks before launch. They said it didn’t get enough and something about tbn. Idk I tune drks out a lot. Doesn’t seem bad though from reading potentially scuffed tool tips tho

[slate arrow]

it's not bad its just DRK has significantly less tools compared to the other tanks now especially with the short CD

Holy Shelltron, Heart of Conundrum, and Bloodwhetting/Nascent Flash all do a ton more while DRK just gets a 25% shield that grants a free cast of flood or edge

it's.... kinda a let down

[regal pawn]

Give it lifesteal for the next flood/edge
would be nice

[wintry trellis]

Well at least dark knight is more depressing to play. So it’s to the theme at least

I def prefer drk over pld at lvl 50

[leaden ginkgo]

The thing about this is even if TBN is super good numbers-wise still, it definitely feels bad regardless.

Especially in low end content where boss tankbusters don't even break the shield, so you just feel like you wasted 3000 mp. I wonder if they considered anything else for it at all.

[slate arrow]

granted the true test will come with savage raids if anyone even bothers to play DRK

[leaden ginkgo]

Ultimately it comes down to the numbers. Even a really shitty-feeling class can be busted if the numbers are high enough is the thing.

I don't feel like that is the case for DRK, but yeah.

[neon jungle]

i dont know if its the right place to ask this question BUT: Does 89 lvl dungeon drop tiny troll minion?

[forest sage]

honestly not breaking the shield doesn't really happen unless you're mitigating tank busters as far as I've seen

[light hearth]

A game mechanic question i always wondered :

Do stack markers also have a " damage snapshot " like most AOE's ?

Meaning that if player A gets a stack marker but due to reasons, i fail to get to that player before the marker disappears will the multiple damage hits not count me being there with everyone else eventhough i am ?

[slate arrow]

yes

[neon jungle]

coz i did it 6 times or more and all i get is earrings or other bs liek that xD

[slate arrow]

if the cast finishes and youre standing in danger you'll be snapshot

[forest sage]

minions aren't so common that 6runs would guarantee seeing one

I don't know if it does drop there, but 6runs without seeing it doesn't really mean much

[neon jungle]

im not asking about drop rate, u know xD

[wintry trellis]

Did they ever say what was happening with wolf collars after ranked

[leaden ginkgo]

how do I see what everyone is saying in chat. For context I'm in limsa and the chat is completely dead

[light hearth]

i know that .
but i mean when it is done with " share damage mechanics like Akh morn .

If i am not stacked with the player in time before the marker disappears will the share damage mechanic ignore me being there even tough i am ?

[slate arrow]

for multihit it's being instant casted multiple times

[slate pumice]

anyone know if arr story matter? ive done it twice like 4 years ago and undecided to speedrun arr

[slate arrow]

it does, but the important bits are in the patch quests

[strange coral]

I can't find any hard data on the troll minion, but I notice that it's non tradeable, and dungeon minions usually are tradeable (not including raids)

[slate pumice]

whats patch quests?

[slate arrow]

after ultima weapon, the MSQ continues

[boreal storm]

After you beat the “final boss” of the expansion, the story keeps going

[slate pumice]

oh so the story carrys on over to the next expansion?

same characters?

[slate arrow]

yes it's all one storyline

[slate pumice]

ahhh icic tyvm 😄

guess i'll enjoy the ride

[opaque fiber]

Do you need to unlock /petglamour command before you can use it?

[slate arrow]

yes

[strange coral]

Yes, it unlocks from the arcanist guild iirc

[opaque fiber]

Job quest?

[slate arrow]

after you complete the level 50 ARR job quest

[opaque fiber]

Ok ty

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to disable a summoner pet as a non summoner?

[slate arrow]

no

[strong falcon]

hum, i bought the extension on the square enix store, but it seems i didn't receive anything o,o

[slate arrow]

did you check Your Orders page

[strong falcon]

yeah nothing appears

[slate arrow]

when did you place the order

[strong falcon]

few minutes ago already

[slate arrow]

give it a day or three

scalefast is ass

[strong falcon]

1 day or three to buy a digital key? wtf xD

[spice imp]

so my character isn't updated in the kupobot. ive deleted my character and put them on kupobot but it isn't working

[strange coral]

Is your character updated on lodestone? That's where Kupobot gets it from, and lodestone updates have been kinda slow due to the server congestion

[forest sage]

can't disable them but you can make them smaller with /petsize all small, but even with battle effects off they show I think

[lost sinew]

so if i got booted in the middle of a cutscene it will make me redo that quest step, right?

[raven bolt]

How hard is o12s now at 90 cap

[spice imp]

another question: can i glamour my headgear to not exist?

[raven bolt]

and giga echo

[spice imp]

i like having my little cat ears out you see

[strange coral]

There's a button the character window below your gear that lets you turn off hat display

[dawn hare]

Im maxed out on white scrips. Is there anything I can buy before lvl 80? At 76 BTN right now.

[leaden ginkgo]

while I queue, can anyone give help on how to switch classes while doing msq, do I buy the weapons or does the msq start giving me upgrades for that class (instead of the former class)

[strange coral]

You need to unlock the class via a quest and then level it back up to meet the msq requirement

[leaden ginkgo]

tysm

[strange coral]

If you already unlocked it you can equip the weapon to switch classes almost anytime

[leaden ginkgo]

does this affect others pets?

the bahamuts are way too big and annoying

[strong falcon]

ok finally received my key, and tried to log in, wtf 3k queue while 2 days after release?

seriously, this game is that popular? xD

[slate arrow]

yes

[forest sage]

yes the setting affects all pets, yours and everyone else's, you can setup bahamut specifically to small if you want the others to be big but phoenix is just as annoying imo

[slate pumice]

honestly ffxiv is one of few mmorpg out there that isnt p2w + the story, that's why its so popular

no i mean when i logged out it wont allow me to change race

its like i never used it

[strange coral]

You can't edit your character if you have the character data error on the character select screen

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to fix this error?

[strange coral]

Try again when the servers aren't so busy

[leaden ginkgo]

aw ok , thank you

The fantasia isn't lost though. Your character will remain marked for editing until you edit and confirm changes.

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[rain sparrow]

oh okay thank you!

so i guess i shouldnt use glamour resources on early game gear then

[boreal storm]

You can

They’re super easy to get

[leaden granite]

is the new patch with the raids coming in 1 1/2 weeks, on tuesday?

or is it 2 weeks after pre order release, so friday in 8 days?

[boreal storm]

2weeks from the 7th

[slate arrow]

Actually you should, since you have access to the glamour dresser as soon as you reach level 15 scenario quests and make your way to the Waking Sands

[leaden granite]

[rain sparrow]

okok! i am only lv 9 rn but hopefully i can wear my stuff soon

[tender ice]

Did Island Sanctuary come out with Endwalker?

[strange coral]

No, later patch

[tender ice]

Ah

Thanks

[warm snow]

We don't even have raids at launch

Msq and 2 poorly scaled extremes

[rain sparrow]

what lv do i unlock mounts?

[open coral]

20 MSQ

[warm snow]

!faq mount

[tender ice]

Does anyone know how I get to the lower part of Labrinthos? Is there a lift or something

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

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.

[open coral]

The MSQ takes you there later.

[warm snow]

Your level means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, what matters is your main story progress

[tender ice]

So there is no way of going down there earlier?

[open coral]

No

[autumn needle]

How long is it to level to max? Just curious

[boreal storm]

Depends

[open coral]

Well, I suppose theoretically you could get someone to fly you down. Maybe.

[warm snow]

However long it takes you to complete the main story

[boreal storm]

Then however long it takes for Alts

[spice imp]

so what exactly is the point of the blue mage class if you can't use it in normal gameplay? i'm confused

[tender ice]

Just wanna get all the aether currents

[warm snow]

Side mode

[boreal storm]

Then do the story

[warm snow]

Broken for farming, fun to play with, has its own challenge mode

[open coral]

Just wait for the MSQ to take you down. It's really not that big a deal.

[tacit jungle]

I have a rather oddly specific question.... I'm on Excalibur but I want to move to aether to be with friends. Trying to find a server there similar to excal. Or at least one with an active party finder and hunt community. Anyone here on midgarsormr that could comment?

[warm snow]

Special achievements for doing content in full blu parties

[open coral]

And all of the quest currents are locked behind MSQ progression anyways.

[warm snow]

The final current is always tied behind finishing the areas story

[open coral]

The ones don't show up until you've progressed to a certain point either.

[warm snow]

Only area you can get all the overworld currents on arrival is the third

[steel canopy]

Hey my FC is talking about Submarine only mats to craft some housing walls, what are those?

[zinc bramble]

https://ffxiv.fandom.com/wiki/Company_submersible

Heh guys, where’s the custom delivery quest guy for endwalker?

[slate arrow]

So just the one in eulmore?

[warm snow]

That's shadowbringers

[vernal urchin]

yeah, no custom deliveries for endwalker yet

[sturdy canyon]

anyone having this issue?

[warm snow]

That's normal

[slate arrow]

That's normal when the servers are under load

[warm snow]

When the servers are strained

[boreal storm]

And The firmament has another custom delivery client

[warm snow]

[sturdy canyon]

damn why did they not upgrade their servers yet, have they not learned from the Shadowbringers release? xD

[boreal storm]

Because they can’t

[sturdy canyon]

why so?

[slate arrow]

they literally physically cannot get the servers they ordered

[warm snow]

They have been upgraded since, player population increase is just way beyond projections

There's also a global semi conductor shortage

[slate arrow]

they have literally offered hardware manufacturing above market rate to obtain said hardware

[leaden ginkgo]

global semi conductor shortage

[slate arrow]

they literally cannot do anything else

[warm snow]

Chips aren't being made to create new servers to be bought

[sturdy canyon]

ohh I see...

and that shortage is because of covid I assume?

how long does 3001 error last? Gilgamesh has had for about just over an hour, or well I should say what was the longest 3001 error documented?

[neon basin]

So I left my alliance raids besides crystal tower undone since I heard that crystal tower is the fastest to get your roulette done, Now, I am finally going to unlock bodja. Is it worth it to unlock all the alliance raids, or just the stormblood one?

[boreal storm]

You don’t have to do the others, but why wouldn’t you

[neon basin]

I'm just trying to keep the roulette time low and I heard the other ones are much longer to run.

[boreal storm]

They’re doing roulettes, they know what they’re in for

[queen fern]

Not really? With a party that knows what they're doing, it only takes a few minutes more.

Only the Ivalice and ShB raids really take longer mainly because the mechanics are more complicated.

Even then, it doesn't take that much longer if the party coordinates and talks about mechanics in advance.

[boreal storm]

And people don’t know how to number

[neon basin]

that makes sense, before i attempt them I'm going to watch a guide video for each one anyways.

[hot eagle]

they all take about the same +- a few min, most mech is allrdy skipped in the ivalice ones

[neon basin]

thanks, I'm just unlocking my +plus content from older expacs while leveling alt toons, getting several in that fabled 70-80 range so want bozja unlocked primarily.

also finally got around to unlocking heaven on high today (used squardon missions from 1-51), and let me tell you, 33 minutes in que for floor 11-20.

[boreal storm]

People spam 21-30

[neon basin]

yeah thats what I'm trying to get to

[wintry chasm]

Want to double check. Is it a known problem that some types of audio die from time to time?

Just doing a dungeon with friends and my battle sound effects stopped working but everything else is fine and it's definitely not muted

[hot eagle]

yes it's known listed in https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/04588be4f4dd993172656d6ff8965cd4dd0ac3af

It happens

[leaden ginkgo]

cant force your way in

[slate arrow]

it's prime time for NA servers

nobody's logging out, nobody's able to log in

[shrewd cradle]

you could be dced from the queue sadly

I was laying in bed and I saw it refreshing but it always stuck at 2500 for like hour and so

if it's stuck on the same number for 30+ mins, you might wanna restart

[solid garnet]

when my friend is creating her account, after the register part, when she goes to put the code, the launcher crashes

[shrewd cradle]

what code?

[solid garnet]

the one you get after registration, in the email

[verbal rune]

question, can the minions you get in dungeon be sold/bought on market board?

[solid garnet]

this one

[shrewd cradle]

yeah but usually not for a lot

[little swift]

If it doesn't have untradeable written it can be sold

[shrewd cradle]

this is for registering the game itself

to skip past this screen and continue to the free trial, close it then relaunch the client and after logging in, it will let you in the free trial

[verbal rune]

oof, the one I want is not tradeable

[solid garnet]

she cant login bc keeps saying that the account is not registered

[shrewd cradle]

did she buy the game?

[solid garnet]

no, its in the ft

[shrewd cradle]

or does she want to play the free trial?

[solid garnet]

yeah

[shrewd cradle]

that's weird, usually after you restart and log back in it starts a free trial..

what's the exact error message she gets?

[solid garnet]

let me see, brb

[serene gust]

It just said my suit of armour is "bound to you" should I be worried? I equipped it 10 mins ago

[strange coral]

It's fine. That means you used it and it can no longer be traded to other people

[serene gust]

Ahhh yeah I just battled in it for the first time

[shrewd cradle]

you may never equip this armour again, you will have to make a new character

[little swift]

don't troll in this channel thank you

[shrewd cradle]

i jest, some armour items become soul bound like that, once you use them in real battle once you may not trade them again

and I can normally log in to my lv 80 character

[hard aurora]

uh

enter it on the mogstation

[fiery sun]

You have to enter the key on mogstation Code Claim (or whatever its called)

[hard aurora]

you enter the code on the mogstation when you buy it

[slate arrow]

EA code lasts until the 10th

[fiery sun]

You'll know you entered it correctly if you log into XIV and get the Endwalker title screen

[slate arrow]

you can enter the full code in under expansion registration code on the front page

[sturdy canyon]

oh alright, thanks 😄

[sturdy canyon]

what code do you mean? license code should last forever

[umbral void]

I know nobody here is a grubhub employee. But I’m assuming I will get the pizza emote on the 17th as long as the promo code actually worked?

[slate arrow]

the Early Access Code is both the Pre-Order and Early Access code. it grants TEMPORARY ACCESS to Endwalker and everything included until the 10th

You should have a SECOND code to register on Mogstation, listed with your steam CD keys section for FFXIV

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a landerwaffe equivalent in HW?

[sturdy canyon]

yeah, I was talking about the proper key from purchasing the expansion

[glad robin]

I still haven’t received mine

[boreal storm]

Yes every expansion has one of those

[leaden ginkgo]

which is it?

[boreal storm]

Firebird, as the HW EX mounts are birds

[leaden ginkgo]

i see thanks

[slate arrow]

on the SE STORE YOUR ORDERS PAGE they have updated your ENDWALKER order to have both EARLY ACCESS and FULL EXPANSION codes

[tepid mango]

How does the "Tales of Adventure: Shadowbringers" thing work? I'm currently level 63 and in Heavensward

[slate arrow]

it automatically completes every single quest you haven't done right up before Endwalker

[leaden ginkgo]

the only thing new tomes can be spent on right now is gear right ?

[slate arrow]

yes

[tepid mango]

Do I need to be level 80 to use it or access the new dungeons?

[slate arrow]

no, and it does not give ANY EXP, Gil, or Quest Rewards

so you will either need to purchase a job skip or get to level grinding

[onyx kiln]

is "Laid to Rest" the Ranged DPS job quest you get at lv 90?

[slate arrow]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

How long is the wait for "The world is currently full please try again later" smfh

[onyx kiln]

okay, is there some big reason i have to do it in order to just apply the dye on this outfit? in the inspect mode ?

[slate arrow]

because you need to do the role quest to unlock dyes for job gear

[glad robin]

For my orders page it shows as blank completely @slate arrow

Is it cuz I used guest checkout maybe?

[slate arrow]

then it sounds like you checked out as a guest and you will need to find the order email

Endwalker Common Questions

Do I get the other expansions in Early Access?
Yes. Remember to redeem your Standard code to maintain access after EA.

I can't log in/Error 2002/I can't create a character/Where's my Online Store Purchase/World Visit isn't working
All FFXIV services are under load and priority is on Logins. If you need to perform anything not directly related to logging in, try again later.

They nerfed my jobs!!
They've only been talking about the stat squish for the past few months, all calculations used to calculate damage numbers has been altered. I would recommend checking The Balance if you're that concerned.

[slate arrow]

right now some servers are COMPLETELEY congested

all mogstation delveries will take several hours

ignore OTP

[limber apex]

It tells him to restart the game

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean seems a bit ridiculous that i might have to wait like 5 hours to play lol

[slate arrow]

they have LITERALLY done everything they can

unfortunately the servers they ordered will not be able to arrive until febuary at the earliest

even canabalized dev servers to give us more capacity

[fiery sun]

it sucks but what can you do

[slate arrow]

any further complaints belong in #rants

[olive oasis]

I dont get it? How do I change character?

[slate arrow]

if it doesn't show up on the lodestone, the lodestone has not caught up to the point where your new character is on the lodestone

given the congestion, the next lodestone refresh wont be for a few hours

[limber apex]

How does he link his service with his ps4 account

[leaden ginkgo]

Why is there only 1 riding map speed for shadowbringers and endwalker?

[slate arrow]

Sign into the launcher with the SE account you want to link

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[hard aurora]

so in regards to a 3001 error - its literal, the world is full?

[slate arrow]

Pointless for two speed since flight is automatically two speed

And the cloud bike requires 1 speed because it comes with the default

So likely some weird backend shenanigans

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah but I saw previous expac had 2 speed

Ok ty!

Which gemstone trader for the riding maps? One offers me just skins

[glad robin]

Yup found it in the confirmation email for guest orders

Anyone know the location of the lvl 90 caster job quest I can't find it

lv 90 role quest is in ishgard, same as the others. talk to the guard in the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly to go to aymeric's office to accept it

Exactly half an hour after your last input, you will be kicked.

thanks

If a job starts at level 60 does that mean atleast 1 of my other classes needs to be that level?

[warped nest]

Yes

That's how you unlock them

!faq shbjobs

[zinc orbit]

[neon urchin]

Yo guys

can i buy subscription in steam or is in the game ?

[fiery urchin]

im sorry for the stupid question i always forget whenever they introduce new materia but, how come the newest materia gives less stats than previous one?

[twilit arch]

9 are to be used for overmelding

tahts why 6/8/10 give more

as 6/8/10 can only be overmelded once

[neon urchin]

and do you guys recommend steam or through square enix

[knotty elk]

If you already have steam then you’re stuck with the steam client

[neon urchin]

wdym

[twilit arch]

it doesn't really matter. main downside of steam is that if you're a deal hunter, steam limits you to steam for any and all future expansions but that said you can use steam wallet for sub/optional items

[knotty elk]

If you bought the game on steam then all your subsequent expansion purchases are locked to steam

[neon urchin]

i still havent bought anything lmao

but was wondering which option should i go with

[knotty elk]

Are you on free trial rn?

If so, then you should continue with whatever client you started with. Unless you wanna lose all your progress

[neon urchin]

i still didn't start was looking to download it rn

game looks fun

[twilit arch]

i would suggest starting with trial thru SE's site

that way if you do choose to go thru steam for the full game, the option is there

[knotty elk]

Oh okay. The role tags threw me off. But yeah I also suggest SE

[twilit arch]

if you go thru steam for the trial, you will lock yourself into steam period

but ultimately doesn't matter which one you go with. as i said, main down side of steam is that you are locked into steam and it doesn't go on sale very often

[neon urchin]

why you cant start a new account and go with SE ?

[carmine oriole]

does this materiel container guaranteed new?

[topaz basin]

What ilv i should be for the ex trials?

[neon urchin]

btw is like subscription bought in the game for steam because i cant find it in the store

[twilit arch]

No, all of the account management is handled thru the mogstation

but if you buy the full game thru steam you will be able to use steam wallet for sub/optional item purchases

[faint flare]

Yee

[warped nest]

Whatever it is necessary to queue in

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to set my combo skills to work in a stacked sequence in pve like how they are in pvp?

[faint flare]

No

[topaz basin]

Minimum il can be kinda tough tho

[leaden ginkgo]

like these 3 are all 1 button in pvp

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

can u at least elaborate .-.

[faint flare]

You can't

The answer is no

[leaden ginkgo]

and why not?

[faint flare]

Cause it would be boring as fuck

[leaden ginkgo]

for u maybe

[warped nest]

Because the game is designed to do this

[faint flare]

They only did it for gunbreaker ammo combo

[leaden ginkgo]

I need a question answered please, I'm trying to buy the full version for my husband but the character he created isn't showing up on his mogstation

[leaden ginkgo]

but it works fine in the pvp area?

[warped nest]

Maybe down the line the dev will make more one button combo

[faint flare]

They'll won't do it for anything else cause then everything would be "spam 1 to win"

Pvp is dynamic, pve isnt

[warped nest]

But they will do it out of necessity

[faint flare]

They made pvp Condensed so you don't have to think about your rotation and can focus on the field

Pve is scripted out the ass

[leaden ginkgo]

We're worried it's because he only got the character created and finished and hasn't yet logged all the way in for the first time because it won't let him due to the queues... but that'd be ridiculous...

[warped nest]

Gunbreaker has too much button, and gnashing fang combo being made into a single button doesn't severely impact weaving additional ability

[faint flare]

Turning every job to a "spam 1 to win" job would kill it

Unless you massively change combat and give every job 30 off globals

[warped nest]

Same thing for PLD Blade of Valor combo

[leaden ginkgo]

Except pve means it doesn't affect you whatsoever if another person is allowed to do that.

[leaden ginkgo]

but i have small af hands ;-;

[faint flare]

Then get better keybinds

[leaden ginkgo]

accessibility options don't ruin the game for you

[faint flare]

Or controller

[leaden ginkgo]

no ty

[faint flare]

It's a valid option

[warped nest]

Do take note that, having this discussion here with us will not lead to any meaningful result in the game as we are just fellow players

[leaden ginkgo]

i asked about this already

[knotty elk]

Mmo mouse helped my tiny hands. Might help yours

[leaden ginkgo]

the downside to mmo mouse is they don't tend to be super wrist friendly in my experience...

but ymmv

[pallid gull]

Is there a proper arcanist skill rotation? Also I notice the Wiki is not updated with the updated skills yet.

[fallen niche]

If I wanted to travel to another server for one of the new world bosses would I have to wait in an extraordinarily long queue?

[faint flare]

Aethercharge > Summons carbuncles > Repeat

Spam ruin, use Gemshine

[leaden ginkgo]

i might play around with macros and use that for now

[faint flare]

Rotation doesn't change as you go

[pallid gull]

ya... so simplistic 😦 I want to be a bigg summoner

[faint flare]

Macros are fucking terrible idea

[warped nest]

personal speculation from what I observed, XIV combat is slowly leaning toward skills/abilities changing into other skills mid combat when certain conditions are fulfilled. So it is very unlikely that they will adjust basic combo into single buttons (unless it is absolutely necessary) when they have a seemingly more interesting way to keep button count low

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah it doesn't really get more complicated than that until summoner/scholar

[leaden ginkgo]

the option exists lmao

[pallid gull]

is gemshine really better then ruin?

[warped nest]

Yes

[faint flare]

!faq macrogcd

[zinc orbit]

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[faint flare]

A extremely fucking shitty one that kills your dps by 50%

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't mean to be that person but I did ask a question that kinda has gone ignored.

[jade quartz]

It kind of…really really really doesn’t.

[warped nest]

Eating spoiled food is a option that exists, but doesn't mean I wanna do it

[jade quartz]

Or rather, it’s not a viable option.

[pallid gull]

I mean ruby gemshine is a bit more dmg but a longer cast time...
Topaz is great for instant cast....

[warped nest]

Macros can be used for a handful of abilities

[faint flare]

Gemshines are worth yes

[pallid gull]

I just unlocked emerald but have not had a chance to use it...

[jade quartz]

Try using QERTFGZXCV as keybinds

[faint flare]

Emerald is shorter recast but weakee

They're all on par just about

[meager herald]

is bozja still king 80-90 ir is it funked out like the diadim

[warped nest]

Short cast means you can weave ability

[jade quartz]

Of course it’s not king

But it’s not the worst option

Dungeons are the best, even if you have to use trusts

[unborn rain]

How does the exp buff work? Do you need to have a character at 90 to get bonus exp from 80-90, or does your main just need to be a higher level than the other?

[warped nest]

No

[jade quartz]

The latter

[warped nest]

Just one to be higher

[unborn rain]

Thankingway

[warped nest]

If your highest is a lvl 15 Gladiator

Then your lvl 10 archer will get buff

When your archer becomes 16

Now your Gladiator get the buff

[pallid gull]

what is the buff? 100% exp?

[arctic wraith]

Anyone have issues with the Grubhub promo? Lol.

I entered the code on an order I scrapped from my cart, and now it wont let me enter it again

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[jade quartz]

fixed

[pallid gull]

I had an issue where I used the same e-mail but my email capitalization was different so I actually had 2 different accounts associated to the same email address

[leaden ginkgo]

nah that's not it, used his ID to log in not email

but that's an interesting issue

[pallid gull]

I would still try to recover the account name of the email with a capital in front and without - he may have 2 accounts - or another he did not realize he had like me

Otherwise he can shoot square enix a ticket - they helped me.

[jade quartz]

Sometimes there are delays with showing this, or it simply fails to due to mogstation maintenance or something

I wouldn't necessarily worry

[leaden ginkgo]

how do we get the horse from the trailer where you're on the moon?

[spring oasis]

Im having issues getting my collector edition code and support is being super slow since it isnt in my orders or emails anywhere, but I was charged and did play early access.

If I charge back to then buy again if they dont reply soon enough odds im banned?

[leaden ginkgo]

is it only with the non basic edition of the dlc?

[jade quartz]

Collector's Edition

[leaden ginkgo]

fugg

[spring oasis]

ima be locked out tomorrow

[leaden ginkgo]

can you still get it on mogstation if you didn't get collectors

[jade quartz]

Steam or non-Steam?

[spring oasis]

square enixx

[jade quartz]

yes using the digital collector's upgrade service

[lilac bolt]

What decides which enemy show up on the left list ? When I'm in a dungeon not the whole pack my team is fighting is shown

[spring oasis]

@jade quartz i found where and when they charged with order ID, so updated the support ticket so I assume they could get it? but idk

[jade quartz]

Check the email that you got the original preorder code in, and click through the link where you got the product code

[faint flare]

You need aggro on them

[spring oasis]

its not there email is gone

[leaden ginkgo]

@jade quartzis it an item or a subscription?

[jade quartz]

Neither

[faint flare]

Aka hit them, or heal a target that's in combat with them

[spring oasis]

nor did I get an updated email for it

[jade quartz]

You can pay a one-time $20 to upgrade your copy of an expansion to collector's

and get the collector's bonuses.

[jade quartz]

You deleted the email?

[leaden ginkgo]

I see, thanks

[jade quartz]

then you might be able to find your product page or something by logging into SE store website

[spring oasis]

its literally been since the announcment for endwalker so it prob was deleted in some fashion ¯_(ツ)_/¯

also yah it isnt there either idk

@jade quartz you did give me an idea to check history

[lilac bolt]

MMh I see thanks. So the only way to quickly check hp bar in battle is to look above enemies ? With the names and texts it's quite hard to see

[faint flare]

Unless you tagged everything then yes

Just targeted the most hp thing and aoe off it

[jade quartz]

You should be using your AoE

And hitting everything at once

[lilac bolt]

Mmh that's smart, I tend to not use AoE

[spring oasis]

anyone know when endwalker got announced? or recall

[lilac bolt]

Thanks for the help 🙂

[slate relic]

can squadron members become paladins, warriors etc

[jade quartz]

Yeah that's extremely crucial

[normal oasis]

is there a way to get the pizza emote if grubhub isn't available where I live?

[slate relic]

or just basic classes?

[jade quartz]

as you level up people are no longer going to be understanding if you don't aoe

[slate arrow]

ask a friend or order delivery to a friend's house

[jade quartz]

just basic classes

[normal oasis]

yeah that's what I was thinking

[slate relic]

thx

[fringe bone]

Hey i seen some helmets where its like a full on lion head. Can a male viera also equip this?

[spring oasis]

support is gonna take ages to get back 3 days and counting

[pallid gull]

There is a number

[spring oasis]

@fringe bone i showed them the paypal charge + order ID ig is on there

[fringe bone]

[pallid gull]

if you have a ticket you can call them tomorrow during business hours. 😛 Just need to find it via google-fu

[spring oasis]

idk their number i havent checked

[fringe bone]

You can only call the NA version

EU does not have a number

[spring oasis]

[warm snow]

Don't worry, there's no fomo in this game, don't rush and enjoy the experience

[ripe hound]

Yeah Endwalker is Yes

Definitely no fomo

However I would say the story is much better without spoilers

[ancient leaf]

so ive been trying to finally get to play endwalker but i always get a connection error before im even close to done with the queue, is there anything i can do to stop that from happening?

[ripe hound]

So try to avoid spoilers if you can

[ripe hound]

2002 that’s our curse

[warm snow]

Have better Internet, login on off hours when queues are shorter

Log back inf ast after a 2002 and you keep your place in queue

[ripe hound]

You generally need to sit at your computer and reconnect quickly every time you get a 2002

[ancient leaf]

dang my internet is not the best, when are off hours?

[jade quartz]

It’s affecting everyone. Try to log back in fast

[pallid gull]

at least you have a Queue you can log into... Trial life...

[naive ridge]

if you can log back in quickly enough it saves your place in the queue

[jade quartz]

I wanna say like 3am to 3pm

It’s not really to do with your internet speed.

[stark sleet]

What I generally do is have an instance of the game in queue, then open the launcher and log in, and leave it on the screen that has the "Play" button

If you get 2002'd, you can open the game again isntantly

[normal oasis]

when is the update where ishgard homes become available?

[jade quartz]

You may want to try quicklauncher

[ancient leaf]

alright ill try that and hope for the best

[jade quartz]

6.1, March-April ish

[ripe hound]

For Aether NA, usually around... 4-6 hours later

[normal oasis]

ok good, I have time to build up some gil

[pallid gull]

When will the hype die down for the expansion? based on what we know of the older expansions? (Im sure the hype did not last well into the end of shadowbringer)
AKA: when will login Queues go away lol

[obsidian patio]

Hard to tell since this is the biggest expansion launch since the game itself launched

[pallid gull]

How about Shadowbringer? Any idea how many months in Queues lasted?

[lilac trail]

is there a way to confirm if the ENDWALKER code got applied on grubhub? I had free delivery on my order already and it didnt mention the code anywhere after i hit apply (said it applied it then went away)

[warm snow]

This is far beyond shadowbringers

[obsidian patio]

Queues stopped being in the thousands like a week or so after official launch, at least for my server.

[vernal urchin]

just my experience, but queues on my server have started calming down, though I imagine peak times are still just as bad

[obsidian patio]

But EW queues beat SHB by a good amount

[warm snow]

And queues are gonna get worse again on the 21st

[vernal urchin]

I was able to get in after noon today no issues

my friend was also able to world visit with minimal wait time

[pallid gull]

21st is official launch? Staggering it was smart. Hopefuly some of the people who got the head start will be farther along or done with a bunch of content so others can log in haha

[warm snow]

21st is when we get raids

Official launch was Tuesday

[pallid gull]

ah kk

This semi conductor nonsense is ridiculous :/

[lilac trail]

official launch didnt really matter much since anyone who pre-ordered any version got early access, plus pre-order players and non-pre-order are on the same servers anyways

[warm snow]

It's not nonsense it's the reality of the current state of the world

[ripe hound]

Yeah the semi conductor situation is just reality

[junior apex]

If I'm logged in and then put in endwalker + preorder codes, would I have to relog for all of that to take effect?

[pallid gull]

agreed. The current state of the world -> also nonsense. IMO however this is a discussion for another day - by nonsense I mean no disrespect. Just that it's hard to have seen this coming

[slate arrow]

yes

[junior apex]

I will unlock SAM tomorrow then

[languid mesa]

Yes

Unfortunately

Is shadowbringers msq enough xp to hit 80?

[smoky topaz]

So question: (and i'm not complaining about it) are all North American servers stupid busy and have long queues, or am i just on one of the unlucky ones? Just started yesterday, dont hurt me :p

[jade quartz]

All of them

[smoky topaz]

Thanks! Good... i think?

[languid mesa]

Round noon est I can get in with maybe 40 in queue

[smoky topaz]

yeah i got in in the morning no problem, but absolutely no way im getting in now

although, coming from EQ2, id rather see overcrowded servers than servers with single digit populations

[slate arrow]

I want to say no, but I'm not sure.

[jade quartz]

Should be pretty much

[languid mesa]

I’ve played wakfu, I’m bout dead servers

Ik*

[jade quartz]

Maybe one or two FATEs or sidequests along the way

Do blue quests for aether currents anyway

[languid mesa]

So I’ll be fine. I’m pre shadowbringers msq atm

[outer mural]

it will be slightly less, the exact amount not sure but it shouldn't put you off course that much

[languid mesa]

Saved it for reaper

[smoky topaz]

Definitely not looking to bum rush to level cap (whatever it is now), but realistically, if one were to try, how long would it take? for just 1 class?

[languid mesa]

1-3 yalms

[outer mural]

it'll be around 3 - 4 dungeons per level from my friend's anecdotal experience
in my personal experience i've been using zadnor, and it's about 1.5 to 2 levels an hour?

it's slow but consistent

[smoky topaz]

thanks, so actaully very quick if you wanted to grind

[outer mural]

oh, sorry, did you mean 1 to 90?

[languid mesa]

Then new relic weapons too

[outer mural]

or 80 to 90

[smoky topaz]

yeah lol... literally brand spanking new to FF

[languid mesa]

Hope you like plot

[outer mural]

yeah, sorry, uhhhh
it'll take a few day's worth of time as a very casual pace from 1 to 90

[smoky topaz]

i do, which is why i'm absolutely not reading any guides, or watching any YT videos, or rushing... i want to stretch it out

[outer mural]

i can't give an estimate but rushing dungeons is your best bet

msq will level you up just fine for that first char per expansion

[languid mesa]

We’ll you got base story and 4 expansions

[smoky topaz]

ok so once plot is done go grind dungeons. got it

my hopes are high 🙂

[languid mesa]

Plus side quests galore

The ones with the plus unlock stuff

[warm snow]

Plot will get you to cap

[fringe fjord]

hey so is the square enix phone number open rn

[languid mesa]

Square no, square Enix. Maybe

[warm snow]

After every expansion you'll get a bunch of patch content with more plot that'll give low exp(level 50/60/70/80) this is normal as the patch quests didn't give exp originally and they don't want people getting absurdly overlevelled

[lilac heart]

Do we have a new leveling system for secondary jobs?
Got my RDM to 90 with msq, but still want to max my gnb and nin
