They connect to the same one for internet access but the system ips shouldn’t be the same for different system
I don't know lol it just popped up after selecting server then it played then i got character creation
No that’s were you can rewatch cutscenes
hey guys, I saw the blitzzball mode on youtube, I never played FFXIV before, do I need to do anything special to play that or just download the game and I can queue up for it ?
There’s isn’t one
Oh I see, it was Final Fantasy X, how can I play it there then 😄 ?
Ip conflicts are a thing. I’ve been in networking for 6 years. If the devices are on the same network and share the same IP the server won’t know which one to touch. Literally impossible for two devices to have the same IP on the SAME network
can you send mail to friends in another world
Buy the game...play the game
I will need it for a mini tournament that's why I'm asking 😦 I wasn't sure if you could just buy the game then play it immediately or if you had to play a lot to be able to reach the point where you can play it
wait what
I'm just interested in the blitz mode of it hence my question, do I need to do a lot of stuff to reach the point where I can play it or can I just buy the game and start queueing up for blitzball games? I'm sorry if it's a really nooby question
I'm sorry but you're just wrong here. Yes devices have unique private IPs but those are not what SE or anyone else can see, only the public IP which is the umbrella for the network.
I don't know man its really weird
its my first time playing the game and its on trial if that helps
I wasn’t talking to you
just wanted to make sure i don't miss any lore
I was talking to the guy that’s asking about FF10 stuff
oh
Is there a way to watch cutscenes I have just missed? I accidentally skipped one I wanted to watch just now
Inns in cities
ok
you have to complete the quest before you can rewatch the cutscene @light vine
Do i have to activate this somewhere? I bought it thru mog station and it says activated on Mog Station but i didnt get the items 
Am I blind? Where last aether current quest 
any idea if cutscene at beginning is important
You need to completely log out of the launcher or close it, and then log back in for it to take effect
Just look it up on YouTube if it bothers you that much
zoom in on either of these groups
can be sneaky af
maybe open the recommended list
That too
that's the bicolor gem vendor
cant find it

Already done that, just went back & repeated it
is fate exp the same regardless if I'm level 81 or 89?
msq
It’s the 4th one, so not msq
or you have it in your journal already

MSQ is fully complete
maybe a dumb question - but what do you do with DoL jobs once they're max level? Haven't been current with them in an expansion before - all I can really see is to farm purple scrips for better gear and then... nothing?
So... is new smn just Trance -> Use fancy elemental tokens -> Aetheflow in downtime -> trance -> repeat?
Trance > summons > Repeat
Energy drain on Cooldown and fester preferably under buffs
Should I wait till lvl 90 to gear up my crafters? Currently have full white scrip gear
.....They made SMN p simple didnt they. Ty for the answer Vinyl!
They made it a functional job
Well, same as any other non-combat job. Use it to make money or stuff to use!
where the heck is the registration code meant to be
Given to you when you buy the game
why is it on the demo then
you have the game on steam?
yes
They're doing the trial
oh
Or attempting to
Heh thanks! Looking at the market board none of the 80 btn stuff is selling for much. I'll just have it ready for whenever the EW equivalent of zonurskin maps are released
Extremes
extreme trials, savage raids
You unlock them then use party finder to get a group
For the current ones yes
that's only EW EX trial or ultimates currently
yeah im trying to get 580 gear
Did they remove HQ items?
Just for gathering
Oh, that sucks.
Less inventory clutter
It really doesn’t
You didn't gather HQ anyway
It was good XP for levequests...
Cause pick clean was busted as fuck
just craft HQ items 4Head
Leves were adjusted accordingly
Oh.
Yeah, it’s generally finished products or crafted materials that make the best money.
which map location is the high durium sand located again?
Labarynthos, to the north of the farm on the second level
tysm ❤️
couldn't I set up some kinda macro to move me a bit every 20 minutes to avoid getting disconnected for AFK? I have a 40 minute errand to run and I don't wanna wait 4 hours for the queue
that's against tos and not allowed to be discussed here.
If you don’t want to get kicked play the game

I suppose that answers the question
hi guys i got a question my friend is in tonberry and im making 1 on atomos since i cant make a character on tonberry is there a server transfer and isit free or not?
!faq serverstatus
Anyone have any thoughts as to why the level 90 magic dps role quest is not showing up? I’ve completed the lvl 89 one….
talk to the guard at the temple knight's area to enter the location with the 90 quest
Where Lucia hangs out?
yes
Thank you
is the sharlayan inn song available as an orchestrion? if so where ?
hi! uhm i'm new here and i'm trying to find peoples for Rathalos extreme becaue i really want the mount, but no one join the me online and my friends don't want to help me because they say say i'm bad at the game, i don't know if anyone is interested but it's still worth asking for help i think
You can use party finder. Just use “learning party” or “fresh prog”. Alternatively you can do it Unsynced
oh uhm how do i do that?
in duty finder
top left
"unrestricted party"
then bottom right > party menu > party finder
there'll be an option to recruit
You just set it up for trial > great hunt extreme
there'll be options
you want to turn off role and job requirements
and turn on "unrestricted party"
hello! I want to buy the Idealized chest gear coffer (to get the dancer outfit) but I can't for some reason. Any reasons why?
Do you have the totems for it?
And are they the right totems?
okay! thank you so much for the help!
yeah, you need 5 of those to buy the chest coffer
Just checked all European data centres as of now, none of them are accepting New Characters. Rip lol. I assuming all of them full then.
try in like 6-8 hours when less ppl are online
so world fates, they spawn every 48 hours?
I guess I will wait then. Thanks!
yes. same model as the 70 gear tho
So I could go fetch it from the Blacksmith?
yep
Alright, thank you
This might be a stupid question but I used cover (PLD) on a healer Garuda extreme + Clemency and they didn't take any dmg, Am I correct to assume it worked?
How can I disable click targetting other players chocobos
With her wipe attack btw
!action cover
So it did work.. ?
yes, assuming you're the one who took the damage
I did and didn't cuz of clemency (it was wipe dmg)
If it actually worked I feel like big brain now
side note: damage migitation works fucky with Cover, and it goes through Hallowed Ground. Make sure to keep that in mind.
Oh
Hello people, i got a question regarding the interrupt ability on my Warrior. Is there a way to see what casts on a mob are interuptable, and with need to be stunned?
!faq interrupt
perfekt, thank you very much
After arr no bosses are stunnable
hello so i am very new to the game (got it yesterday and spend like an hour playing and im lvl 7), im pretty sure im not doing the right thing could someone help me out any help appreciated
oh, that is also a good point to keep in mind, thanks alot
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
Unless you have more questions about the systems in which case ask away
Weskalber has pretty good guides on lvling rotation (tho some mightve changed now with endwalker so keep that in mind)
well im just truggling of finding the class quests
Btw in garuda extreme does it matter which add I pull away from Garuda?
I mean which garuda clone*
lvl 50 arr ex?
You can press the quest in nr 2 spot and it'll show up on map
one of them, can't remember the name, you do
I'm restarting from scratch after being gone
as it also tethers to garuda
yes
Any idea how to reclaim my veteran rewards?
yeah i noticed that but like once i finnish a quest idk which quest to do, or where to find the next quest
You can’t discard any of the veteran reward outfits so assuming you got them out of the mail, use /isearch to find them
Also you mentioned clemency? in a lvl 50 trial?
thanks
Class quests are always at your class guild
ok thx
I just want to play and the q is very long on gilgamesh
You can click the text on the MSQ tracker to get the quest location or objective location
We all have that problem, can't do much since it's prime time
Nobody's logging off so nobody can get in
sorry to ask again, but how do world fates work? Specifically the one for ||level checker|| in ||Ultima Thule||? As in, how frequently does it spawn and etc
are max-meld ilv490 crafter/gatherer gear good till lv85?
I've used mine all the way until 90
thank

Is it possible to buy 2x rings for the Wedding and give it to the partner or do I need to gift the other one??
The promise bracelets are tradable so you can give one in-game
thanks :)
Any pre-requirements I need to do?
IIRC, no.
Greetings, Is it just me or are the Huntings Discord awefully empty and not up to Date anymore? Is it because of Log-in Issues?
Saw a hunttrain the other day, any well functioning Discord besides Centurio hunts and Clan Centurio Light which posts e.g. A ranks reliably?
Thx in advance for the help 🙂
Which hunting discord?
Oh, my hunting discord is called Aether Hunts
mostly ppl busy doin endwalker and world visit not working all the time
That's why it's not global lol
But yeah Aether Hunts is pretty alive
About 1 ShB Train and 1 EW Train fire per day per world
But world travel is basically impossible anyway
my battle sound effect crush lol , any1 know the que time if i relog?
Hard to say... Aether now... around 2 hours?
You will need to sit in front of screen tho
Can u PM me an invite link? ^^ (or post it here if allowed?)
Since 2002
Sure but it's Aether Hunts
or anyway to fix the combat sound crush?
Think faloop is used for light too but not sure, you could try checking it
Centurio hunts is a thing
Yeah thats why im asking, no A ranks shown and it seems kinda...empty-ish. Maybe im wrong but thats why I thought asking for a possible alternative DC on Light 😅
Its probably all theses people coming over from wow
I never had a q in the thousands before
Is there any way to figure out what a pre req for a certain class is? I'm kinda curious since once I level up my WHM to 60 during the free trial I might work on a tank or dps

Is explorer mode enabled for all EW dungeons?
Should be
it is, yes
ty!
has anyone tried the grubhub thing yet? i didnt get a code after buying what i boguht for the emoteD:
As long as you used the ENDWALKER promo code all you need to do is wait
When can you redeem trial totems for the mount?
ok so they email it to me? yea i used the code endwalker
Yep
thanks!
When they add it
Usually not until a patch or two after it comes out.
When is that typically? 6.05 or 6.1 or even later?
So the current extreme mounts probably won’t be buyable until 6.1 or 6.2
Gotcha thanks
Is FFLogs uploader broken? Isn't updating for me
Same for me
Won't update or upload new logs
Let me go try reinstall
Yeah reinstall works
started heavensward was following the suspicious footprints in the snow then chased the heretic into a building then the game crashed and I got this message would someone shed light as to why?
Thats weird
What the hell just happened?
Is there any kind of artifact weapon crafters can get?
I have gotten down from 6.1k
idk if I should spend all my purple scrips on the weapon or not
How much better is it?
So since character creation is not available now, will it show that its available while I am waiting on the character creation menu or I need to login until it shows its available?
I am talking about this menu
FFS
I had to refresh those personally for it to show
how long did it take you?
probably best to try in 5-7 hours, when it's early morning
Yeah you’re not making a character unless everyone’s asleep
From when I created my character? It was a while due to the whole server's being full issue. I got my character created during an off peak time, right before maintenance
I've gotten some noon joins on primal, so I think it does vary a little so idk
Oof
I guess I can spend this time on constructive things, Like character creation.
I think you can check via FFXIV lodestone website when the server will take in new characters. You be waiting for long time it seems.
Where?
Here, https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
But I don’t know how frequently it updates
I did that exactly, over an hour on my character
Basically updates whenever you refresh the page
Ah, I thought so
awesome cheers
If I bought the Dark Lanner mount during the moogle event, does it still count towards getting the Firebird mount? Or do I still have to do the trial and get a Dark Lanner drop?
You got better chance joining in at off peak times, like others previously suggested.
at lvl 80, do lvl 80 dungeons give more than 79-80 dungeons, such as mt gulg
You can’t re-get the lanner, it’s unique
no you are better running mt gulg till 81
since the 50/60/70..... dungeon s aren't made for leveling
Where do I turn in my Aphorism tomes?
radz-at-han
ok so i see that people have directx problems while in the game but i cant even launch with directx 11. it used to work fine with no problems at all but after upgrading my cpu and motherboard it doesn't want to work. i even have the latest windows updates and gpu driver updates.
it launches with dx9 tho
and i reinstalled the whole game
I know dancer is available with shadow bringer(at shadow bringer level) was there any other class I could unlock at this point?
Shadowbringers unlocks Dancer and Gunbreaker

im trying to get my new character into home world Zalera in NA crystal but it's always not accepting anymore new character, how long do I have to wait? do often do they allow more?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
My friend was having dx11 issues as well, the solution that worked for him was to cap the framerate to 60fps
So long as the world has a queue due to extreme population, you can't make a character. You'll have to try at a quiet time, which is likely in the dead of night at the moment
With how active the game is, your only good time period is basically the morning
okay thank you
It depends on the time, I've been able to make some like 8am-12pm before on my server, but it depends on how the queue is
I'll try at 9pm, and if not 8am
9pm probably not, but yeah 8am is a good idea
I can't exactly play after 10pm sadly
9pm is still in the middle of "prime time," where everyone's just come home from work and wants to relax and play
So very unlikely it'll be quiet enough to make a character
okay
Yo, could I get a opinion on something? Ive been playing mainly Dark Knight so far, but I really dislike using the living dead, so I was on planing on switching to gunbreaker (I really liked the animation on his new moves from endwalker), the problem is that im in the middle of the Shadowbringers MSQ and Dark Knight is the poster boy for the expansion . Do yall think I should finish the Shb msq with Drk first and then switch to gunbreaker or I just switch rn?
1am and like 8-noon is my times I join as a solo for context
In terms of lore, all that DRK is the poster boy for... is literally the poster. You won't get any more or less lore/story for playing another class/job.
am i correct in assuming i only pb during RoF windows, and only double PB during Brotherhood+Rof windows to get phantom rush off in there
yeah, tiny difference
The big thing you need to think about is if you're prepared to stop playing the story for however long it takes to get your class leveled up
no need to force yourself playing DRK just get 1-2 dialogue difference
well, I guess I should switch, since the tank queues are really fast rn, levelling wouldnt take that long, Thanks for the answer!
👍
ive been refreshing this link to see if one opens up but rn its very far inbetween that one does https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
okay thanks
is there a way to re-add the ability description after making a macro out of one?
I'll have to try on tuesday, I work the next 3 days ouchie
Nope
How do i stop Summoners from clogging up my screen with titan's giant ass?

/petsize all small

reroll or not?
So from 71>80 beside dalies /MSQ how else can i level up fast as weak reaper ... (who suffers carpal tunnel)
bozja
Dungeon spam or Bozja
Having trouble with the ||gleipnir fight, elder seedeer keeps dying||?
Okay and also what best rotation for reaper from 71>80
id say punch a dummy and try it out first

Leveling Guide by Ellunavi. Start here if you aren't level 90 yet.

Advanced Reaper Theory by Ellunavi. For taking your level 90 gameplay to the next level.
||Interject his Fatal Poison (?)||
whre do I get this scythe it was teased on the twitter for ff14
So after hitting 80, what are the things i should be doing to gear up
buy cryptlurker with tomes
What level is it good to start leveling in Bozja?
71
assuming it's too early in but are there any good resources to see what the MSQ chest coffers contain for glamour purposes before i pop them
can just look at them on the marketboard
oh that's smarter
I believe I got a message that said I was getting reduced xp in Bozja because my level? Maybe I'm crazy tho
are you 80+
yea
Chi Bolt is a fate drop item right?
looks like its Nabaath Zaghnal , which is from Malikah's Well
but I tried it with my SGE that 71
it might give reduced exp if youre above 80
interesting. I'll try again and see what happens
yes
so apparetly msq does not give sufficient xp to attain level 89 or am i the only one?
Unless it mentions the reduced exp, it doesn’t affect that job
i hit multiple level walls doing the msq so
Have you been doing your current quests
I hit none, I did like 4 2x xp fates
doing only msq and nothing else i hit a wall at 85 and more at like 88/89
I did a roulettes like one time and I was 89-90 by zone 6, no stops needed
i had to rerun dungeons like 3 times to get the exp i needed for 88
well 2-3 times
So hard to read/understand reaper class 😭
whats confusing you
anyone know the name of the roll for the day theme of labyrinthos <3
Do basic combo to build gauge > spend gauge > use gibbet/gallows to build Shroud gauge > Enshroud and nut
from 71>80 for now
Oh and keep up Your debuff
They kinda gave a tutorial for your first job quest
your basic combo gives blood gauge, spend it on blood stalk then gibbet/gallows, soul scythe and soul slice give instant 50 gauge
its not called blood gauge but its like dark knight 
It's extremely straightforward
also hit the enemy with shadow of death first cause it ups your dmg
Build gauge. Spend gauge
Does anyone know what this is?
has anyone had any great success with running the last set of 80 savage unsync at 90? curious to know how feasible they are with the stat squish
I think it should be very feasible? You get super echo
You still do the mechanics
Solo is gonna be hard tho
It just dies faster
Hun I thought you can ignore some mechanics?
here I am still wondering if it's possible to do HW Trails EX on my 80 PLD
10 levels of unsync doesn't change much
Like just eat it and take the vuln stack
so don't expect much mechanic skipping?
Can you Face Tank LR.... probably not
With a good group you'll probably kill E12 before Advanced
And before lions
You still need to do every other mechanic
Yeah Lions are definitely gone
because I know it was feasible to push through mechanics on E4S with a semi-competent group of 530 geared 80 players
I think you can survive a orb boom in LR now
more curious about Litany for glam honestly
Like you still need to do LR but you can mess up and live
right
E10 you'll likely kill before Towers 2
Part of the Studium/Faculty quests, the Tree of Archaeology.
Yeah my group did e4 at 530, we did not learn uplift 2
hmm, good to know
haven't been able to start EW yet but thanks, I'll experiment when I am ready
AKA the BSM/ARM/GSM quests
up to what level should i use melded augmented cryptlurker till?
i dont have a lv 85 DoH to meld the palaka set yet. should i ask someone to meld or just keep using cryptlurker for longer? (please @ ty!)
85/86
OO ok thank you!
Can push to 87 if you want with melds
why do you need another person to meld
just use the npc
can you use the trust sytem on only sb dungeons
shadowbringers and endwalker
i dont have the quests to unlock the bozjan front
did you do the stormblood alliance raids
oh i have to do them?
theyre a requirement yes
which ones
Look at the leve plate at the top right of the journal
They all have the same leve plate
Are there any Ressources on how crit etc scale in endwalker?
Leves that use these plates.
err so im on universalis checking market prices, but seem to only be able to see prices over a 1 day span. any way to show more than the past 500 sales and the timeframe?
Are we gonna be getting any new Gatherer or Crafter gear in 6.01 or 6.05?
No
next set should be 6.1
I see, so the penta melded crafted crafted and gatherer gear should be BiS?
mhm
I’m thinking when to sell my non combat materia
I think I’ll sell it around a week before 6.05
What level gear?
340 up
!faq poetics
!faq altlvlguide
ah ty ❤️
is there a webpage i can go to see if i can make a new character yet or do i need to keep logging in and trying
@glass cradle
am I missing something in my master crafting recipes? how would I know that I have all of my 1 - 8 master recipes? I kinda have an anxiety that I wasn't able to buy all of it or I missed a book or two.
thank you 😦
I feel like we might need another NA DC now
@glass cradle no prob.. same boat as you 48 hours ago.... just sat there checking every 10 mins for a North American server to allow me to make a character
I work overnight so ill check again after this nap
didnt realize the new expansion a came out a few days ago and buying it on a friday wasnt the best choice
i didnt either. have you made a character model? that way when a server lets you create a character, you can just load the appearance and pop right in
yeah im just selecting it then picking random dates and signs then i see i cant make a new character
it's funn, cause you'll make the character, be super excited, and then this:
So do we not have to run around looking for aether currents now?
do the green manual exp boost apply
to leves?
It’s much easier to find them in HW, StB, ShB areas now
You still need to find some
My aether compass does not work though
I'm in Amh Araeng, if that makes a difference
Wolf marks from PVP
Does it take long to get the whole set?
I never played pvp before
are things like alexander savage solo/duoable now?
It's in the Duty > collection menu now
Thanks, i found it
I just queued up for a world transfer. How do I withdraw from one? The queue time is 30+ minutes and I can't figure out how to leave it
click it
Thank you! That worked
can you not new game+ endwalker
no
awwwe
NG+ comes later usually, they have to work on stuff to make it work or whatever, not sure
oh ok
probably not
Is it recommended that players keep Hagakure in the hotbar for Samurai? Idk if it's necessary to keep.

Hello, I've been getting the below error message when I try to launch the game in DirectX 11 mode ever since the Endwalker update. Is there any way to fix it? I've already tried re-installing the game and it didn't fix the issue.
hi, does someone have time to help me with a few things?
just ask
it will be long to put it here i feel
does anyone know if you can solo a11s without a cheat death ?
what are the queues on phoenix like right now?
What do I buy with these and where?
until how long will the cryptlurker/edenmorn gear take you to the endwalker msq?
like when would it be necessary to get new gear
Is Cracked Dendroclust used to buy previous expansions Materia or current expansions materia?
85/86
you can get them from leveling and doing roulette at 90. also hunt
it says on the tooltip it exchanges for materia IX
9 and 10 are endwalker
there are npcs in both old sharlayan and radz-at-han to exchange them
I have a question. Why do I need to unlock hard versions of ifrit, titan, and garuda and crystal towers raids for heavensward? is it a requirement? im just asking cuz I watched zepla's vid on it. btw I am still not done with arr so please no spoilers
ok then, so i started playing a week ago, this evening i did the 2 last (?) dungeons of ARR (fight with gaius), as soon as it started ppl was like "speedrunning" the dungeon, leaving me behind, on the very last it was absolutely horrible, probably the worst experience i had in an mmo, i was alone trying to find my way for almost 10min while they were killing bosses, is it a common behavior in dungeons?
If I got my Roman right, IX is 9, right?
definitely not.
yes it is
They’re plot important
Is IX (9) Materia, Endwalker? If 9 and 10 is Endwalker, how do you get 10?
Spirit bond, like normal
there are different cinematics in hard versions of the trials?
anthoclusters can be exchanged for 10
I am not sure which one to pick here.
No, it’s just plot important
Was very lucky, spammed Thornmach Extreme 9 times, and using retry and still got two lines.
are they still plot important if I have done normal versions of the trials?
But stuck on what to get.
Hello, i have problem. I want move in CMS but duty finter for Castrum Meridianum as Dmg is endless. Any tank/heal available for this? Please
later on you're required to do the hard mode fight, thats why they have you unlock it now @agile latch
Yes because those tribes canonical summoned them a 2nd time and you have to deal with that
k thanks
@viral vale people are sick of those specific dungeons, but the rewards are good, so usually only for just those two
ok thanks, i almost wanted to uninstall after that, it was so horrible for me, i will keep trying hoping it won't happen again i guess
thats like one in a large number chance of happening
its also because you cannot skip any cutscene in it at all even if everyones done it before
right from the start i was basically alone, and after 30sec i was done, can't keep up lost alone, that was trash
Can someone help me with the materia stuff
What number is Materia 9 (IX) going to give me, is it +36?
You do get to warp to boss rooms
So just follow the group after that
Is it possible to buy Materia IX from the auction house or buy these from the auction house?
Market prohibited
i couldn't keep up, it was my first time i had no idea where to go and they were way far further, after every tp it was the same again and again
Use your map, the other people are blue dots
oh well, on the bright side it wont happen again unless you choose to do it again, those two dungeons
they weren't on it, they were way further
you can buy materia on MB, just not the token
Thanks, I went with the Silver Coin or whatever it's called.
thank you, i will remember to never do those again x)

Are riding maps not a thing yet? I don't see them on the gemstone traders
what is the easiest way to get glamour prism at lv 23?
market board or company seals
you need rank 2 to see the riding maps
Not in game but does anyone know when the preorder for the vinyls will end?

um this is sort of related to ffxiv, but i was having some issues with my game crashing and ran chkdsk. so... how long would someone estimate it'd take to run over 300gb of data?
oof, depends on your read speed mostly but maybe a bit
I don't want to ask this in my FC because it is probably a stupid question. I am in queue now for about 1.5 hours got another 1200 peeps to go but due to some family constraints I need to move rooms. If I get out of queue, unplug & move will I be kicked out?
if you reset yourself fast enough potentially might be able to make it
not guaranteed
It is risky.
indeed
or let them move rooms instead
or put urself on DND
I know I was tricked. They said to play in this room then changed their mind. Jerks. They are my children but still.
are you unplugging a wired connection? because if it's on wifi it shouldn't disconnect you.
ive been kicked out of queue multiple times but when i logged back in i was basically where i left off so
Parenting pains really
results may vary
also does EW have beast tribes
not yet
bro i just want the lvl 80+ exp
welcome to new expac
Contents not going anywhere
at least tank qs are instant now
one person in my static went to DPS and I got shifted to tank so at least itll be easy to level
hey anyone know when dc travel drops?
It is wifi, I would just be unplugging the playstation n
i'm not very good with electronics, but don't playstations turn off when unplugged? i think you'd have to go through queue again. but if you're fast you shouldn't see your position ruined.
if its any similar to a 2002 then you should be fine withiin like 5 minutes
but seeing as ps4s are slow not sure
handking has never had secondaries
did they remove leveling Trusts? they're all suddenly in their 80s now, even after the first time through
There are two modes, one requires leveling, the other does not (only allows the Trust members that were available at the time).
is that the Scenario/Avatars toggle in the top left?
hopefully not during EW
Yep
thanks 👌
wait why not
logins are definitely going to slow down eventually
It worked! Moved the PlayStation and it saved my spot. Kids are happy! Mama happy. Thanks y'all
hopefully. iirc original date was sometime during or after 6.1. But might be facing delays due to delta and new variant. On top of them claiming they dont have what they need still to do proper upgrades and other implementations on site. Could still happen without delay though
The literal physical hardware limits they cannot do anything about any further
si
The specialized server machines they use will not arrive until February
thats still just ETA I'd assume at least
*by the earliest
and thats just getting them.. not counting installs, etc
where do you get the titania wings item that they showed in the patch notes?
I know the diabolos wings are from hunts, idk where the fairy wings are
Ran into a weird issue, I just phantasia'd my character and when logging back into them my service account seems to have had end walker access removed from it. Very confused what's happened, has anyone ran into this before?
what time is it for youright now?
1:39 am
and were you still on EA?
I likely had the clock on eorzean time in game yeah if that's what you mean
no like time zone
oh
did you enter the full expansion code into your mogstation?
playing during EA does not mean you entered the full expac code
^
EA gave you access until midnight today
and since its past midnight for GMT
you no longer have early access
therefore you MUST enter your endwalker code to continue playing in endwalker zones
Any reason to do it (EW code) now vs later? I'm not up to EW
no reason
so you have access to endwalker when you do get there
same here!
If you're already on the full game, there's no reason to wait to put it in
As a healer is it bad to rescue people (not in a troll/ purposely kill kinda way)?
i already purchased and did endwalker msq. why do i have to put in registration code now ?
Its mostly confusing. But if its life saving generally no
Because the EA code is only for early access
what do i have to do now ?
All sorted, thanks 
the follow on patches and content that you wont have access to w/o it
enter the full expansion code to flag your acct. as owning endwalker
i bought it on steam. where can i see the code ?
ah ok. tyvm!
I was healing in i think Dohn Meg and I rescued a red mage out of an aoe and closer to me because my aoe heals were not reaching them. They got super angry about it and made a point of standing in the same aoe to show that they could live, i didn't really know what to say to them and i think our tank was new so i was focusing on healing them.
After leaving they kinda continued to PM me and tell me that RDM's could heal themselves
is that the general reaction people have to being rescued?
nope, what you do in this scenario is accept that some people are beyond saving (mentally) and move on
ignore that and play as usual. Dont feel bad for doing your job.
No that guy was nuts
It could have disrupted his cast, and he could have been deliberately standing there
If they continue to PM you feel free to report them for harassment.
but to get that upset about it is insane
where do I get this fashion accessory from?
Yoo guys just watched the 3 first videos that come with the trial i barely understood anything is it okay to just start
also they'd lose just as much DPS from having to heal themselves than they would from spending time dodging the aoe
It is never correct to just stand in the AOE. Using your instant cast for a heal is a huge dps loss.
ok cause like i wasnt sure and i couldnt stop thinking about it and feeling bad after i blacklisted them
normal mode trials? You don't need to watch videos, head in blind
Depends how much damage the AoE would do.
i believe people have said its from the new treasure maps
Like I said, in general being rescued is more confusing than irritating. At the end of the day your job is to save people and you did it. So dont feel bad
It may be the case that no further damage would be forthcoming for the rest of the encounter, so it would be fine.
ok tyvm for clearing that up <3
It's a classic lower-level BLM thing to deliberately stay in some AoEs when they don't have movement tools up
trial version i am new
In Dohn Mheg, the appropriate response is to rescue them into the drop at the end.
the pre-order earring's exp boost only applies if your true level is 80 and below correct?
Story trials are designed to be cleared blind by first-timers
Current job level, yes.
thanks
what most low apm class in endwalker now
probably smn
Miner
still likely between whm and blm
whm has more weave windows now so idk how that'll play out
Anyone know what to do with exarchic gear that we don't need anymore?
doesn't have many more actions to use in them
My Level is 30 but my MSQ is below level 30 - Can I do the job advancement quest for my class? And do I find the NPC normally for the quest, according to the website etc?
desynth or keep for glam
No, MSQ progress is required
smn is going through 4 ogcds/5 if you count swift cast per minute

If you've completed that and your class quests, you can get your job advancement
i am not sure i understand
You don't need to watch videos before you join story trials.
Trials that you do as part of the story?
ooo so theyre not lore shit ?
Heavensward is the next expansion
well they are
You spoiled yourself now
i am not sure i understood anything from them lmao
Opening Movie and A Realm Reborn are setup
i can just skip them yes ?
The dragon coming out of the moon is the calamity that happened 5 years before the start of the game
Of course not, you haven’t done the story yet
so that's good to have watched
Heavensward one is spoilers for later though
just go ahead and make a char
though you likely won't be able to due to the server congestion
chaos or light ?
Are you not NA?
holy shit NA has much more servers
nope eu
proportional to the number of players.
Hello, iam quite new to the game and have a samurai lvl 80 and just completed getting the cryptlurker set. What materia should i put in? i only find guides for old stats
Doesn't really matter.
Then pick one of the 2, doesn’t matter, then change your discord role
ok
sks* > crit > direct hit > det
Chaos has Moogle which is the French language hub
Light has Shiva which is the German hub
doesn't really matter
meld enough sks to hit a certain gcd

I wouldn't recommend bothering with materia when not at level cap.
is it confirmed DH > det?
but endwalker is out so uh just ignore
The boost is small and only matters when optimising at endgame
during leveling, you're going to replace that gear soon enough anyway
The Oceania servers are coming out in Patch 6.1 right?
it says connection poor on all servers /worlds
that is the hopeful release for it, yes
^
Planned for February which may not be at the same time as patch release
Yeah a whole new expansion has come out so theres thousands of people trying to log in
you can basically ignore that
it'll be hard to make a new character/log on
All the EU servers are located in the same place: Frankfurt
so you'll have the same connection to all
I hope they let us transfer over to oceania and not make it super expensive to do so
it will be free.
maybe then i'll stop floating along the floor when bad internet periods strike xD
Oceanian servers will have "new" status which allows free transfers
I am in a mount that uses some actions, but I changer my hotbar, how can i return to the hotbar with the mount acitons, in controller
it should change back once you dismount
I'm inside a quest
Otherwise I think it s R1
don't wanna dismountR1 rotates my normal hotbars
but i cant return to the mount hotbar
it should either be on hotbar 1 or pet hotbar
In hotbar settings you can arrange it so that such actions always go on hotbar 1
hang on a sec
there are the actions in a normal pet hotbar, but not a controller pet hotbar, that one's the one that appears
how do i get extra pieces of AF lv90 gear if i wanna use for glam?
yeah, those actions from mount alwaus go to controller hotbar 1, but i changed pressing R1 accidentally, then when i go back to controller hotbar 1 , it's the regullar one
Enable pet hotbar.
Then make sure "Automatically replace cross hotbar 1 with pet hotbar when mounted" is enabled.
If you put in the dresser, you can grab another set or should be able to
oo thanks
it's enabled the "automatically..."
hmm will try
is there a proper name for the mechanic in which you're set to 1 hp and given a debuff needing you to be healed to full or else you die?
Living dead
Referred to as White Hole or just Doom
ty
in other mmos i think its called gravity or something
lol fair enough
like, i mounted the mount to start quest, then it automatically actions are in my xhb, then i accidentally press R1 and now Im in xhb2, when I go back to xhb1 my mount actions are not there, I dont wanna get out of mount to not repeat quest
how about this
Hotbar Settings > Cross (3rd Tab) > General Settings > Use Mount Hotbar
this sounds like True Living Dead attack
that's already enabled
if you cycle through your other hotbars do you find it?
Ilvl 80 dungeons drop antique stuff that can be traded for corresponding job piece
I just discovered tapping R1 switches between normal xhb and pet xhb, thxs (I was holding R1 and pressing front buttons to select other hotbars). thxs
that wasn't in any tutorial lmao
holy shit character creation so good
Hi, I'm getting stuck on this screen forever only to finally see the following message
I get a 2002 is full server
lv80 antique for lv90 AF gear?
I don't know what a 3054 is
Well the dungeons that drop em have an ilvl 80 min req. you’ll know cause that antique gear is green, not wearable, and not in your armory. Trade them at mor dhona
At the diamond forge
not talking about ilvl tho but lvl
or if you want say ilvl then ilvl||560||
Ah misread, I have no clue. Calam salvager?
They’re talking about the EW gear, not the ARR gear
tried and not there sadly
Which they can just reobtain from the original place, like with SHB
have to place them in my dresser first right? havent tried cause i spirit bonded with them
Only if you want them in a plate. Can directly apply glamour from armoury chest or inventory.
ye cause i wanted to glam over them and glam back and cant be asked to dispel everytime
Then you probably want to get the tomestone gear to upgrade from the pieces and put them in your dresser, yes.
For the "Born Again Anima" step of the HW relics, do I need to run the three dungeons as the class I want or can I go on anything?
You have to be the job and have the relic equipped or in your inventory when you leave the dungeon.
Is there a set number of aether nodes in a zone, or are there more than what you need to unlock flying?
Where is the person you can spend your tombstone's on for lvl 80?
※Changing classes or jobs will prevent progress during this quest.
Eulmore, where my token is
Set number in static locations.
It does not say that 😦
OK I'll have to look that up then, thank you
The compass you get is perfectly fine for getting them, no need for a guide at all
Especially since any guides are sure to be outdated now that they have reduced the number of currents in zones before Endwalker
whats the fastest way to get from 80 to 81
Compass???
It is in your collections menu
You can put it on your hotbar
Will tell you the direction and distance to the closest current
Oh snap lol ok thanks
what does DoW mean LOL
Disciple of War
omg BYE iM tired LOL
Physical combat job
I was trying to find aether currents by wandering and by eye 
That is rough 🙂
That sounds like a very immersive roleplaying experience 
I would not recommend it lol
is there a way to get a notification when i get a 2002 error without having to check on the queue every few seconds
What do you mean by a notification? A sound?
something like that
Youl could put it into window mode and then just have it over your favorite netflix show
Should I get Aphorism armor+weap first or Aphorism accessories?
Excuse while I still learn the terminology in this game but "Extreme" content such as trials do NOT have Matchmaking right and is recommended u got a group>
do the new 8 man maps have a portal yet?
weapon has the largest impact on your dps
The weapon is more impactful if everything else is equal. If your accessories have fallen behind it may be worth it.
Not yet. 6.1?
thats good right guys ?
Correct. Only people that will be matched is others who specifically queue and grumpy mentors
Hmm, when I finished MSQ my DRG had bad accessories. But now I'm maining RPR so I might get better accessories this time
For this early in an expansion, yes.
I'll start with the weapon first then, thanks
You can matchmake for them individually. You will not have much luck on western servers.
Well ok some luck for the ARR trials at least.
That's amazing, your queue is so short
very lucky tho it must be late for those servers
extremes are always trials, people dont queue for endgame level content at all on western servers
ARR ex queues are probably terrible right now because most people don't qualify for mentor roulette yet with the updated reqs (and even if they do, why grind mentor roulette at the start of a new expansion when there is a lot of new content?)
the queues only fill because unwilling mentors are dragged into them
Which is why NA usually resorts to using the Party Finder or leveraging their FC.
or statics for savages
party finder for doing content with randoms, FC for doing it with friends, Statics for any content harder than Ext
and FT players being unable to play right now
is there a preference of trust NPCs to use in Endwalker? I heard estinien is apt at dropping aoes on you 😬
So the official Endwalker release date was earlier this week, right? I haven't gotten my collector's edition bonuses yet.
Yep
Did I maybe forget to register something?
Most stay clear of Alisae as she tends to use the LB as soon as it comes up.
^
@rugged flicker did you enter the code
that annoyed me so bad
Well I've been playing the game...
that doesnt answer the question
I would take that as a no
did you enter the endwalker code you got
Did you register your collector’s edition code
early access code lasts until midnight tonight PST
if you haven't entered your full expansion code, you need to do so
just want to ask, is there a poetic tomestone gear on lvl 90?
no
thank you
lv90 gear uses Aphorism
poetics are specifically for not capped level
Dungeons and some roulettes at max level
thank you very much for answering
can we not buy the new ex mounts with totems yet? i dont see em for sale in the shops ;v
no
mounts are never immediately available for totems
i c i c
Is it possible to assign a retainer to be a Dancer?
probably
yes
are we out of pizza codes?
Yes

yoo how do i hide chat
You also can change the tabs to filter out certain sources of chat as well (only show party and chat but hide say/shout/etc).
is there no auto hide if there are no messages ?
Hello
There’s going to be messages
Not that I am aware of. Will only hide during cut scenes.
I did buy the early acc copy for the endwalker.But today they ask me for a code.Any idea where that should be?
Depends on where you bought it. Probably an email.
Is there an updated SAM rotation for lvl 90? With infographics if possible
this happened to me too, i was well into endwalker, logged out and now they ask me for a code. And my steam code wont register
It will take a little time for these things to really become available. I haven't seen anything yet but there might be something floating around the internet.
Thanks for the info!
So I reset my retainer back to Conjurer level 1... I level him back up to 30 and then I can swap him to Dancer?
if your retainer is a conjurer you dont need to reset
you just need to get it to lv60
but if it already have a job i.e is a white mage, not a conjurer then yes you'll have to reset
So stay conjurer to level 60?
ye
Thank you!
rdm/machinist were top 2 before 6.0, hard to say if anything has changed with 6.0 due to stat squish and all that jazz
but rdm should still be a very safe choice
ok Thanks
guys any way i can make font larger ?
Has anyone tried doing the A8S recently? For some reason every time we clear the first phase of enemies unsynced and when it jumps to transform it reset the fight, no wipe just resets.
How do I remove my Returning Vet Sprout icon?
/returnerstatusoff
so when is the best time to make characters? I just bought everything today and legit cant make a character unless i go to european servers. Im assuming early am?
Yes.
3-4am NA
you can premake a character any time, and then save it later, so it takes less time for you to select a datacenter and making a character
in that savage, you need to have i think at least 6 players alive to get to phase 2, if you have less the game just wipes you
old savage mechanics are... interesting
i was checking how to spend my Poetics and this guide say i should spend it at Idyllshire to upgrade my gears, but the base weapon of those upgrades is no longer obtainable? is this valid?
For level 60, go to Foundation. There is a vendor right near the aetheryte. Get the highest ilvl gear he has.
*Only available after completing the MSQ for that expansion
right, i dont have that yet
okie, will keep my poetics for now, thanks
You can do the same for the level 50 gear to set up another job you plan on levelling.
(In the three major cities)
yep, i saw the 50's one in the starter city
Re: EW's job quests, is it like in ShB where you have to complete at least 1 to progress? Also, are there detriments for doing them after the main story is over/benefits to do them before finishing the main story'?
nope and nope
They are also introduced later in the expansion (85 MSQ). Less teleporting around if you do them all at once when you to 90. But feel free to do them whenever you want.
quick question, can we get all aether currents on the ||moon|| during our first visit?
i'm missing 3 now
yes
thanks, i'll find the way then
how do i get accessories for my lvl 70 reaper in shadowbringers
i cant do the dungeons
Oohh ok thanks paragon and rashaux!
Does DRK's Abyssal Drain heal you according to number of enemies hit or is it always the same potency even if you hit like six enemies with it
what is the best place to level DoH to lv 80 from 70
leve quest doesn't give that much xp
is there a macro command to soft target party members?
controller things
Based on the wording it is a static 200 potency heal. Not a DRK expert though. Edit: see correction below
Heals per target hit
leves, collectables, stadium deliveries are best
Level quests and studium deliveries are the best way I have seen.
make sure you are turning in HQ items for leves
Is MP generation also affected by how many targets were hit or is that a flat amount
aren't studium for lv 80 ?
no
What's the consensus of the best instance to solo for for the light farming in "Born again anima" ?
stadium are effectively your class quests for endwalker
MP from abyssal is a flat amount
where is that studium then
Whatever level 50 dungeon you find is fastest to clear
I preferred Brayflox hard
Studium is 80 - 90, Crystarium is 70 - 80
hunt rank 3 stuck.....standing next to mark but no indications mark....assistance?
i can do it with every job ?
I've read that as well, sounds good thanks.
oh i misread the level range
and no, the crystarium/stadium deliveries are a set of groups
where is the studuim located at in crystarium also is it limited or i can do it with every job
The crystalline mean deliveries are in the leve area
and no, you cannot do them on every class, you have to decide which one is going to do them
as they are grouped, i.e ltw/wvr/crp
wait its custome delivers ?
no
;/
custom deliveries are a different thing. as i said, these are effectively your class quests for shadowbringer/endwalker
as they are one and done deal
the studium
in crystarium
Isn't The Studium in Old Sharlayan?
Same idea though, just different location/NPCs
is it once per week kind thing ?
Once ever
I need help with the mist dragon fight, we keep wiping.
wat
it replaces job quests

you basically do them once, get a little story and you're done
jobs are split into categories so they all share the same questlines
and then they are done
Have you tried not wiping?
What part of the fight are you wiping to
is that the xp farming method you mention .-.
Is it when Mist Dragon comes back from his mist form
use leves and collectables as your repeatable ways of leveling
Dude hits like a truck
Or for 70 you can still do the Ishgardian Restoration stuff too
have to dodge stuff
the tank especially has to move out of the ice shit after a breath
ishgard way to expensiove
Farm the mats and it is free
If Mist Dragon is coming out of mist form and freezing y'all and that's what you're dying to the solution is to stop using any and all AoE during that phase
custom deliveries is the cheapest repeatable way, but it'll take a while to lvl everything with just that, ultimately leveling crafting requires some funds to do it fast
oh and beast tribes
if you're not in a hurry you cna just do customs every week and beast tribes every day, and leave it at that
i cant focus on one single job crafter its bad right ? i need to level them all
you can focus on one job it's just rarely self sufficient since they require mats from other jobs and stuff
You CAN but many go for all of them. If you just do one you will have to buy stuff from other crafters for a lot of the later recipes.
i can level them all but is it required to complete all their Job quest ?
like to unlock manuplation
Yep
ugh
If you want to make that sweet pile of gil you have to put in the work 🙂 That is why their services are worth so much.
okay Thanks
I keep getting conflicting answers, is there a difference in speed and/or XP gain in Scenario VS Avatar trusts?

they're the same, just avatar lets you play different characters than the scenario, and gives a title once you level them all up
typically trust DPS is lower than competent players
