no server is rly low on pop atm
I have a question in farming tomes the new ones. Which is more efficient hunts or spam the 90 dungeons?
I only have like 1-2 hours of playtime
Given hunts are not always ready to be run, I'd say dungeons would be better given your time constraints

to be able to meld materia to gear, you need a crafter to be at the gears level right? like ANY crafter? so even a culinarian?
correct
ok thank you
Does it make any difference to pick up the Wondrous Tails now, or after I finish Endwalker? Like would the rewards change?
If you’re lvl 90, they change
Aight thanks!
Check Universalis
What should be my ILVL for the new EX fights
and what materias and what level shoudl be on my healer for them
how long does fantasia usually take to be delivered? is it longer right now cause of server load?
alrighty
whatever ilvl the party requires, it's fine with AF gear and random dungeon accs they're easy. Meld det for now, or piety if mp issues but shouldn't be the case
AF gear?
The job gear you get at lvl 89
You can begin prog once all pieces on you are at least ilv 560
Then buy some left side pieces while you prog
Is there any endgame content at the end of ARR 2.0, or is it at the end of the 80 additional quests ?
then by left side pieces you mean the legs head etc
There are, are you on free trail?
On free trail it would be harder to find a group
No I bought the starter edition
Cool, then you can just create a Party Finder group to find people who want to do old extremes with you
I'ld like to do the content in the correct "order", but not sure if I should do the seventh astral era quest before checking ARR endgame content, or if there is already some interesting things at the end of base MSQ
radz
aight ty
btw are you interested in normal difficulty end game stuff? Or the hard stuff?
Mmh not sure yet. I'ld like to try normal difficulty first
Sure, then at the end of ARR, just do Crystal Tower Raids, and all the “Hard” difficulty trails
Hi, is there a quick way with KB/M to target healer, I'm in tank position and I want to be able to quickly target for mitigation on them.
f1 to f8 keys, or target of target (T by default)
oh
i read that wrong LUL
best bet is f1 to f8 keys
sort party list by healers first
you dont need to use T
just bought EW and is there a list of change for each class? i main BLM and somehow i feel the BLM play is much smoother now
I just mash Tab to retarget the boss
Ok, thanks !!
EW changes apply to everyone regardless of content pack
!faq jobguide
It’s a bit hard to write down... I would say just ask
i cant put it into words, it just feel like it much better to rotate the BLM skill now
Main changes in early BLM are your new level 1 trait and revamped AoE rotation
maybe because enochian toggle skill is no more, probably
For example, SMN basically received no changes
As in, SMN kept a few things, then was remade into a completely new job
!trait aspect mastery
This makes going between the elements much easier, making Transpose a bit more niche for in-combat uses
moreso once you hit level 35
it was originally a level 72 trait
oh
Aspect Mastery was level 72
and also one of the many reasons why i never played it in leveling roulette
Blizzard 2 now also hits based on your target and not your position anymore
And Fire 2 now buffs Flare at 56
basically the job's rotation is no longer a mishmashed 2.0 core on top on top
no you still need freeze
You also get Blizzard 3 at the same time as Fire 3 to make switching between stances easier
Freeze is now the AoE equivalent of Blizzard 4.
bliz 2 > frezze > fire 2 > fire 2 > flare
oh darn it, get back here you freeze lol
Your main useless button past the early levels is now Blizzard 1
(and scathe as always)
poor scathe
At least B1 gets upgraded to Paradox later
F1 does that too
lol
can I trade in my yellow scrip for white scrip? if so, where?
that would make sense, thank you
1:1
it wants to exchange all the scrip at once, will I lose any excess if I'd overcap?
yes
rip
I've never done Savage/Extreme stuff before, but always been interested in it. If I want to start, should I do the Endwalker trials? Or go back to Shadowbringers?
will it actually take me the whole day just to unlock bozja? the raids are dead
what level is best for farming potd with for leveling
Its best to do current content, so go for the EW exes
Main thing I'm scared of is the EW extremes being much harder than the SHB ones
They're not much harder, shb extremes just felt easier by the end due to the gear
There are plenty of practice groups for ew extreme, dont be scared and just join them
Cover
Kappa; thanks, Shi.

Is it possible to make it so if I emote via a macro it doesn't display in chat, but if I type it into chat directly it does display?
After the Riding maps, what else can I throw gemstones at? Nearing cap.
mostly leather-making materials, probably make bank on board for EW materials
nvm found my answer
Are the sightseeing logs worth doing, or are they filler content?

some free exp and an achievement or two
Ah ok so not worthwhile at my stage
!levelling
Wait..what's the faq for levelling a second job?
!faq altlvlguide
...appreciated
and on that note, I should update it.
I keep hearing of PotD, how do I unlock that?
That's the floor clearing solo run thing right?
the faq tells how to unlock it
Oh mybad thanks
I never see the text box above my character when I talk. Is it normal ?
Yes
some people use addons to have textbubbles for chat messaged
but its not a feature of the game
Oh I see, thanks 😀
my launcher asks me for a registration code when its a trial account why?
I've been seeing a new golden doggie mount recently, does anyone know how to get it?
msq
are you using the trial launcher from the trial site?
yes
i've been playing the game for a while on my trial account, just launched it today and i get this screen
Silly question when have you played the trial/when did u start it?
check ur mogstation account as well
about 1 month ago
still a free trial account type on mogstation
i'll try that, thank you!
!faq freetrial
Guys, can I ask for favor? Can you dm me your screenshot of FF XIV keyboard UI? I want to try K/B for a change of pace. Screenshot for your healer, tank, and a dps if you are willing.
Your highest leveled characters k/b settings
why cant i put these on my hotbar
probably actions that change other actions when certain conditions are met
how can i get the lfg role again?
Gnashing Fang becomes Savage Claw and Wicked Talon as you do the combo, Jugular Rip/Abdomen Tear/Eye Gouge are on the Continuation skill.
gnashing fang will change into these
This discord doesn't have an LFG role.
Really? Im tweaking then. How can i find people to play potd
simply queue up for it in-game or use party finder if you're wanting to go past floor 100
in game, using matchmaking, or party finder
or ask in #retired-na-datacenters
there is a recruitment channel for each datacenter
but its mostly used for FC and statics
just people dont go to get silver chests and then get mad when i take a while looking for it, aint that the part of potd haha
Thats why i cant rly queue with just anyone
say you're doing silvers, and if they dont like it, they can leave 😛
Most just dont even text either so they dont make it any easier lol. I mean silvers is the point of potd tho, not bonb rushing the floor
so uhh
You just get silver as you run by
potd is more for levelling extra classes
I cant get it every floor cuz u gotta kill mobs sometimes
You're GOING to be rerunning floors
hence the rush
i was playing ffxiv and all of a sudden it started running on 2 frames
and if i alt tab out of it i cant return to the game
I know i understand their mindsets thats why i rather just find a dedicated group
Yeah i might just do that then
idk why
You're going to rerun floors
i tested other games and they all running on 60 fps+
dumb question, have you restarted the game, or on top of that, restarted your computer
i did restart the game
many times
i will try restarting the pc
check if there's anything using a ton of cpu in task manager
or keybinds ig
Who has a good SCH guide? Other than me practicing via dummy for rotations and such.
Reason being is that I should shift to SCH, since SMN is now 90 and they share XP; my main WHM is still level 80 and it seems ummm a bore if I level it to 90.
All skills unlocked too^
i did and nothing is using my cpu
I'm curious, does FFXIV usually adds new game in an expansion?
restarted, now i will check the game
I started in SHB so I don't know any new ones lol
Like chocobo racing, triple triads, cactuar pot, etc etc
gold saucer stuff is very sporadic
IIRC, last big addition was Doman Mahjong in 4.5
thats a big, maybe, they release side content when they release side content, there isn't really a set schedule
I will have a look see shortly.
Did they add new games in gold saucer in HW, SB or SHB?
Golden saucer is a law unto itself
Games, no
ok restarting pc worked
Gates, yes
They DID mention an upcoming addition to the gold saucer at some point in EW, but gave no real specifics.
Ohh I see.. would be nice if there are new ones but yeah, I see they can easily implement new event games in Gates
people assume stuff like blitzball from FFX or snowboarding from... whichever FF game did that.
i think 7 or 8
FF7
Yes and no, that's still unique behaviour that has to be built from scratch, not super complicated but not "easy"
the gold saucer in 7 😄
Hmm fair enough. Maybe in the later patch, who knows XD
I recently watched some gameplay about FFXIV and was reminded that it was really fun. I was wondering should I buy it? (I tried trial but it expired a few months ago)
If at all I'll hazard a guess and say nothing til post 6.1 as we have savage raids and stardew Valley islands and new housing all in that space of time
trial is technically forever, if it expired, you bought the game and used up the 30 days subscription time that comes with it
Or you were on the old trial which is from over a year ago at this point
No the old trial was both lvl and time gated.
Oh I don't know why it doesn't let me log on anymore then.
oook, nevermind me then 😄
probably that...
Anyways, ngl it's not a good time to start from anew
oh okay
Servers are stuffed to bursting with the new expansion launch
check your account on mogstation, if its not a free account, then yea, you cant use it without subscription
Assuming there's no ques to log in and play
I feel bad saying its a bad time to start but that's the unfortunate situation
well when it becomes a better time to start what should I buy?
You're being generous with that statement;
servers so bad, I soldier 6k queue, from 7pm to 11.30PM
!faq buy
Ignore the second thing
im in thailand is there any option for that?
That's a bit out of date, but easiest solution would be creating a new free trial account in a few weeks
If you want to keep your old character buy the starter edition which is everything in the free trial + all the social features. If you're super committed to seeing this through, buy the complete edition(NOT COLLECTOR) which is the starter edition + all expansions
oh ok
should I just buy from steam?
square enix is so very glitchy for me
it doesn't even let me login
i just changed my password and it still doesn't let me log in
Steam will work, you'll just be locked to steam for all purchases of expansions
So you won't get the benefit of sales on other platforms
hm
okay then i guess ill just stay on square enix
also this is what happens when i login
and when I play it says Please transefr to the full game
Yeah, you're an old trial
okay then
It's subscription based game
for me at least lol
Worth every penny! 😉
so when would be a good time to buy it?
and is there a time where theres a really good sale?
Right now theres an expansion that was released a week ago so the servers are quite congested. If i were you i'd wait a bit tbh
yes thats what Kat, Culinarian of the End told me as well
how long should I wait then?
A month or so
Okay
will there be some sort of sale in a month for starter or complete edition
You can just say Kat lol, because there was just an expansion launch there won't be a sale for quite some time
aw ok
im thinking of it like this, go to the cinema and get entertained for 2-3hours OR get entertained for the whole months in FFXIV for the same price
Definitely not til 2022
I have never seen a sale of the base game;
Lads leave people alone on the cost
oh ok
Kat, I'm getting my second anima weapon because I have nothing else to do.
the last sale was october and i bought the game for 15.99€
The persons from thailand u dont know their buying power or overall money situation
instead of 39.99€
im sorry to ask this but would it be possible for a 3rd party sale?
do i need to start handing out mutes
like maybe GmG
if it says unable to obtain char data while im queuing am i still going to be logged in and queue numbers will go down or is this a problem?
green man gaming has pretty good deals sometimes
you can still log in, dont worry about that
no, just putting priority on actually getting people in the game over other features
That's up to them, but again unlikely any time soon with all the current hype and the expansion launch
Yes, you're still in queue.
okay okay
ok thanks guys 🙂
Expansions only happen every 2 years and this one has numbers far beyond initial projections
is the expansion fun?
Oh it's fantastic
fun is subjective
Highest rated expansion to date too, and the highest rated game to release in 2021 on metacritic
Oh my god thats good
for the people who enjoy FFXIV, Endwalker is more of what we've come to enjoy
If you're coming from other mmos like wow, this might not be to your tastes as this is more rpg than mmo
i have never played an mmo before
well i mean i played maple story but everyone did at one point
Well this plays more like a single player jrpg that's also an mmo
Dungeons and bosses are all done multiplayer
there's mutliplayer instances yes
but the vast majority of the Main scenario quests (story) are solo
ah i see
How many times can i loot ex2?
extreme trials don't have any loot locks
so i guess its comparable to genshin impact? which mainly is solo with story and other things and coop for dungeons and domains
LOL totally different
ok ok
This is a Mainline final fantasy title and it has all the prestige that comes with being a mainline FF title
Don't even get me started on genshin and gacha as a whole
yes sorry i know a lot of mmo players hate gachas
probably shouldn't have mentioned it
is there anyway i can sped up my game client download speed for a bit? it download at 2.50MB/s, usually my download speed is at 30~35MB/s.
Ia there a way to try out outfits that are exclusive to certain raids and duties?
You can go to the token exchange vendor for the relevant content
!faq xivlauncher
also what is the difference between FFXIV14 Starter edition and Realm Reborn?
i found realm reborn for cheaper and it has the same trial thing
Starter refers to the 'base' game you can purchase
okay
I see
A Realm Reborn is the same thing, except it isn't
Thanks
Usually when we use A Realm Reborn, we're referring to the stretch of content that's catagorized under 2.X
as ARR is version 2.0
Starter nowdays includes both A Realm Reborn and Heavensward, and the change is retroactive iirc
If somewhere is selling arr on its own its likely an old code that could even be expired
Idk for sure on that but I'd be a bit wary ngl
okay thats probably true because its from Eneba a website basically like g2a i think
i thought by this point arr was one with the base game
If you're using a third party key site, definitely be wary. Humble Bundle, GMG, Steam, and a few other places are official FFXIV key distributors and fall under the 'second' party category
yeah I'll probably jus use official FFXIV or steam
ill just wait a few months before i buy the game then
So at any point there's 3 specific products being sold
The starter edition
The latest expansion(which will include all other expansions)
The complete edition(the previous 2 as one item)
ok i see
Not counting collectors editions which just give in game cosmetics like weapon skins and mounts
So where's the tolen exchange for HW? Can't find it in Idlshire
Inside the main building
so the most worth it would be Complete edition but thats only if I really try hard
Don't be like me buying collector's edition thinking it includes base game
rowena exchange, NPC left of poetics
oh my god that must have sucked
this is a reminder to read product descriptions, regardless of what you're buying
but also
cmon SE fucking goddamn
Ff14 is a linear game so you have to play through the base game(a realm reborn) and the expansions in order.
So it's like a jrpg + it's 4 sequels all as one product
Oh she has a locked quest that's why
no not that NPC
the first one left of the poetics exchange NPC
I asked my friend if this includes base game she said yes so I trusted her and did not read the product desc :/
okay i see...
not rowena herself
that sounds really good then
Sabina?
But yes, read the product desc carefully
Hello. A friend of mine just got the Digital Collectors Edition. How do they claim the bonus items from the upgrade?
Redeem code on mogstation
did they already own the expansion the code is for
Await mail, remember servers are stressed
or is it already redeemed on mog
okay well thanks for you help everyone
I will return in a month or if theres a sale
bye bye
They just got the entire upgrade today from Free Trial
So no, they didnt have the expacs before
All the ce stuff comes in the mail
So yeah probably bogged down, if it's not arrived by tomorrow then there's probably an issr
But I guess the emails are coming in slow due to the server stress?
How to get more votes
Not emails, in game mail
I see. Thank you!
Ohhhh
But yes also slow due to server stress
Also also because it's account wide it takes longer
Are there any comparison imaged of Small/Medium/Large SMN pets?
Player commendation
most people just insta leave without voting
Thank you again Kat and Robo!
Play healer or tank and wait at the end of the instance
i legit played those two roles and waited they insta leave
How can i be authorized to participate in Hunts of my Grand Company
Or play with japanese, they tend to give out commendations
Ok I found one that has Raid gear but didn't found what I want it's the Yafaemi Jacket of Casting which drops from Mhach
Later into the game you get people are less active in comms cuz after 3k they're completely worthlrss
Eyup that just kinda happens
Then keep running mhach
i just wanted to get dungeon mentor
Oh for alliance raid gear yeah nah can't preview it in game unless someone links it
Join the club, I've been stuck at 1.3k comms because I don't use DF as a healer or tank 90% of the time
Just run westwind lol
im in
I am most likely doing them for the gear but I am not sure if they're suitable fir my taste to begin with
You can double check on garland tools of there's any shared models
What does the university quests at EW do for you?
What's that?
Scrips, one time exp, story, achievements
Minion for all of them, great exp for crafters and gatherers + white scrips
they're the EW equivalent of the crystarium deliveries
oh I didn't do that >_>
should I go back and do that
I think these provide all the materials this time around
count me in
The all quest gives a minion, pretty sure crystarium didn't have a tangible reward
i haven't started them yet, though
Can't remember for sure tho
They don't
Stories are fun, min/btn is probably my favourite
I'm literally stuck on two of the 88 ones because I need to level my crafters to make the precrafts
That or cul/alc cuz I loved the lore of ||archon loaf|| in the first place
And well, username
look at you mister healer main smh
What's this hair?
how do i change chocobo appearance + armor?
how are the names of the best crafted lvl 90 items called? combat jobs
Color you change by feeding it a series of fruits. Armor is "bardings" and can be changed in the companion window under the appearance tab.
combat jobs don't have 90 crafted gear yet
comes with savage
do i buy the bardings from the mb?
You can get bardings from various sources.
There's a handful on there
I can't find that tab on the MB for bardings
That's because they don't have a tab. You have to know the name of what you're looking for or use partial search with the term "barding"
You can do all of them.
ook ty 
That's why that one specifies "healer". You can do each of the role quest series once per role.
It's the same series regardless of class within that role. Nothing changes.
oh!
completing the role quest on one job unlocks the level 80 job quest for all jobs of that type
Hey, regarding sync : how big is the difference between a lvl50 player doing a raid with lvl50 gear, vs a lvl80 player doing a raid with a lvl80 gear synced to lvl50 ?
pretty much none
assuming the level 50 player is using the best possible level 50 gear, basically the same stats.
syncing puts you at the best possible stats that are reachable at that level's gear, unless a specified item level is listed, then that is used.
Ooh so I can work on ARR extreme once I reach 80 without worries I'll miss the challenge I would have got at lvl50
And I suppose the gear I get each x0 level with poetics is the best available ?
yep
technically can get a stronger weapon from the savage raids of their expansion, but it's a minor upgrade not worth the effort (only +5 more item level)
Ok, thanks a lot for the help @obsidian patio @fleet steppe 😄
OK, so my experiment in switching to DXVK has help me deal with Direct X 11 fatal error, today after a few days of using DXVK I decided to switch back to DX11 and alreadi got an fatal error after 2 hours :/
since gathering doesn't give HQ items anymore
does job quest changed too ?
Thanks wynne
they now look for procs of Gatherer's Boon or Large-sized Fish
what is gather boom tho
Oooh I kept seeing HQ everywhere while leveling botanist in online guides
But they removed that ?
Yeah
the replacement for HQ chance. It's a %chance to gather 1 extra item per attempt.
😄
No more hq mob drops either
Is the gear from the extremes still relevant once pandemonium is released?
it'll be the same ilvl as the normal mode gear, if they keep to the usual pattern.
Technically better iirc at least the weapon
Normal modes stay as even numbers and EXs are xx5
Well normal won't have a weapon until savage
Then again normal buys tomes which will be 5 above that
Cause that's via capped tomes
What about the crafted gear that gets released? Is it also the same ilvl as the extremes?
Do we get the weapon drop token before savage releases or do we just not get 2 weeks of that?
Crafted will be the same ilevel as normal
Should get the weapon token immediately
And should eventually be augmentable +10 afaik
Can you mail items to people not on your friends list?
Not
Sadge
is there anywhere i can find a list of all the notable unlockables from blue quests?
tyty
Thanks!
Anyone knows when the endwalker relic weapons will be released? in a few years like shb?

Relics usually start like X.2 onwards
nier raid coins are useless now, right?
Yup
Are the new beast tribes available yet?
No
No
Dang, 6.1?
They're always in patches
There isn't always for me 👀 it's my first expac launch
DoM/DoW tribe will probably be 6.1, yes.
It's worth checking when content was introduced in ShB as a comparison
ey guys, im having a problem with HW relics
im in the final quest for my first one, but, its bugged out?
i finished the quest as you can see in the chat log but, but it doesn't show as finished, neither he gives me the weapons or the money
whats the dif between SAM & BLM??? not dps wise btw
more so the playstyle difference
I mean.. one is a melee dps and the other is a caster
i know that :/
is the 80 job gear for reapers not dyable by default?
I mean, you're basically asking the difference between bananas and carrots then
i meant like whats the dif between casting times and what do they do in a dungeon respectivly
bruh
ok but whats better pvp sam right?
Positioning for minimum movement is key
how do i get the dyable version? is it also memoria misera?
Pvp is all being changed in 6.1 so no point in answering that
oh 😦
No idea, probanly
samurai collects stickers by using comboes and moves between rear and flank to depending on their combo
then unleashes either a dot, aoe, or heavy melee swing using said stickers
with the ST flow being maintain dot > use heavy swing otherwise
anyone know if its a bad sign that my pop up for the queue keeps going away and popping up again ?
Cry if the dancer doesn’t DP you
okay ill make a simple question then,who has better burst?
at this point? probably sam
That's normal
That’s just the q refreshing
Why did it move up though XDD it was 116 now 117
the amount of damage sam can frontload at this point is pretty batshit
!faq meta
it's probably not too close at this point
k ty
Any dps comparisons at present are completely unreliable since all the numbers are getting tweaked in the next 2 patches
he's asking about burst though
Still applicable
sam has multiple large burst abilities they can use in succession
Dumb question but for timed nodes. Does it work if I'm on a different world than my own?
iirc they explicitly made timed nodes not spawn during world visit
You can only gather timed nodes on your world
at some point
I see
I can't unlock halatali, why? I did dressed to decieve a long time ago, and Fafajoni just gives me generic dialogue
i have a question abt the fourth EW dungeon gear, i noticed that it uses swapped models from ||shadowless|| gear - does anyone know which model the caster/healer ones use? i'd love to know before i start farming :')
Are there any perks regarding the trust system besides bypassing the queue?
Unique dialogue from the npcs
You also get all the loot
If I only have 1 character and don't intend on getting another, is it best to go for the left sub?
It's also basically a guaranteed 30 minute clear assuming you don't die.
Ran the level 90 story dungeon with some poor sap who did it 10 times with trusts for the minion, it dropped and I got a 99
How long does it take to farm a duty for it's loot? I want a certain set of armor
Ah ok. Would be cool if you could level up npcs to take with you like your retainers and gear them up.
Sure. You can always change it later if you need to
Yes, but you can only buy in 30 day purchases, not 90 days in one purchase for the other sub for example
I see, thanks
if it says unable to obtain character data do i have to restart the game or just quit and start from the menu?
Just Q, it only means they're not loading in to not strain the servers
For levelling dungeons, it'll be guaranteed as long as you're the matching job, otherwise its still rng
Just queue, giving character data is just a low priority functionality when servers are overstrained
i wanted to change appearance
I'm afraid you're sol
Ah I see so I can get the loot I want quickly as long as I need on the stuff. Thanks, also do I get the same stuff if I play it with NPCs?
Wait for queues to die down
but do i have to restart the game or just quit and start from the menu?
until i see the char
Yes, but less in chests overall, you might get 2 pieces in a chest via df but only 1 if doing trusts
Thank you
You can return to the main menu but you likely won't get character data til the queues die down closer to midnight st
jeez
||this is the healer robe||
well, that's not what I wanted to spoiler tag rip
thank you very much 
hi what is this mount and how do i get it
You can't
Are you able to participate in fates above your characters lvl? Like if I have the zones unlocked on a higher lvl char and I go there as a lower lvl one
was from a past promo
It's from a chocolate bar promo
D:
You can
Okay thanks
wait i just googled it. wtf is a butterfinger
Candy bar in the US. I dunno what other regions have it
Promos over anyways
i dont wanna be a asshole lmao but you googled whatever it was you wanted and saw the name butterfinger and decided to ask in this chat instead of googling that too ?
yes

I reached lvl50 botanist. Which craft job should I look for ? Should I level up other gathering too ?
yeah, all of it is linked
It says my contribution won’t be weighed as heavily @warm snow. Does that mean it won’t count if I participate?
No, it just means its easier for you to get gold, and your rewards will be more appropriate for your level
I think after completing it with a group that was starting it already I didn’t get any rewards or notification
It just didn’t pop up anything after saying “fate complete”
Then you didn't do enough to even get the bronze rewards
Ohhh okay
ETA Pandemonium Normal Mode?
Next week
Okay, thanks !
So which craft I go first don't matter ? I should level them all ? Or you were taking about gathering ?
do paladins ever use holy spirit/circle?
Constantly
Gathering classes share gear with each other. And crafting classes do too. So it's generally recommended to level all of them at the same time so that you can share the gear.
Ok, thank you ! 🙂
When you're not using fight for flight you should be using those with requiescat
uhm.. crit is 1st
Huh, so crit and det?
well thank god i didnt buy any piety materias
Piety is the lowest priority
Piety is basically a "to comfort" stat, but the base Piety on healer gear tends to be on the high side anyways, so pretty much nobody ever melds it.
(buying from market place IS the best way right?, besdies yknow the ones you get from roulette)
should i buy the X version of the IX version?
It goes Spell speed to comfort, Crit, det, dhit
Noooo. Do hunts. Buy materia with Nuts.
In that krder
Hunts is the best way
aight, should i use IX or just X
X
Buying materia off the MB is going to be a major scam this early with materia being a relatively rare resource.
9s are only for for crafted gear pentamelding
aight, so i have absolutely no idea how to do hunts then, need ot learn that asap
The prices will drop as the expansion progresses, but for now hunts and in-need queues are the best.
Does using Fantasia have a time limit? Like if I use it can I just change the appearance of my character whenever I want to, in a week or two, or does it at some point (2 days for example) wear off?
No limit
Okay thannks
Odds are you won't be able to use it for like another week anyways
The limit is "when you confirm character changes"
hey guys, im new, what do i have to do to play game? xdd none of these servers are available
log in next morning
What am I supposed to do if I can’t find a group with the duty finder for early msq required dungeons ?
Uhhh wait til all the servers aren't stuffed to capacity
If you've never done any hunts before, you'll need to start from your Grand Company and do the unlocks (they're quick) in each expansion. The initial quest is called "Let the Hunt Begin" or something like that.
the servers are filled to the brim and non paying players are low priority
!faq huntunlock
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
the servers tend to not be full before lunch so you can create a character
@open coral ok tyvm
It's missing Endwalker hunts but they're in the first city
The hunts worth doing are the ShB and EW ones, since those both give the same currency.
Keep waiting. MSQ dungeons are included in roulettes and people do those regularly.
lunch? its evening for me)))
but ok, i got it
Just keep queuing
will try later
Ok
Daily reset is in 14 mins so levelling roulette will fill it
Your best bet is to try in the early morning hours for your region. Sometime between 2am and 9am will probably be best.
servers are full because the new expansion released. Character creation is unavailable when the servers are crowded. I can log in without queue reliably in the mornings before 9 (I am GMT +2). You can check if character creation is available here
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
thank you guys
Will reapplying iron jaws keep the buffs from the initial dot application or does the snapshot reset?
Is there a site or guide that tells me what loot every duty has?
Gamerescape or Garland DB
For custom deliveries, once you max them. How often do they rotate the item they want?
May I have a link for the pages?
will they delay Raid release with current que situation and noone with a job beeing lvl 90 ?
Thanks!
They have not announced anything like that
damn hope they do by 1week
Looks like no
But savage raids won't be out til January anyways
Where can I get ifrit horns?
From ifrit
I'd assume Ifrit Extreme
Ahh the extreme ty
not a guaranteed drop each time, just to note
What's the best way to farm aetherpool levels for my arm and armour
My arm is 35 and armour is 15, the difference is too big lol
Am I right in spamming 51-60?
If you can enter it yes
Can I transmog my retainer?
Yea but you need to glamour the gear first before equipping it to them

Hi everyone
I just got my first minion
But I don't know how to summon it
I don't see the '' minion '' menu under Traits and characters does anyone know why
main commands
Under General actions there's a summon random minion action you can use. Or go to your character menu and select minion guide
Is world transfer still down?
Yes
tyy<3
They will be making a separate post on lodestone when it is up. Expect it to be down for another week to whenever they don’t need to lock it anymore
does gekko and kasha grant the speed/dmg buffs from jinpu/shifu when used alone with meikyo shisui?
is there any way to restart an ff14 without deleting it?
?
Is there a collectible vendor at sharlayan
The tooltip for Meikyo Shisui says it does
@strange coral thx man
there is a scrip exchange in the studium area, but not a collectable appraiser
What do you mean?
New game plus
new character?
You'd have to create a new character. Or use New Game+ after you unlock it.
What time do the beast tribes reset each day?
!daily
Oh no I was off by an hour
Are Saigaskin maps for solo or for party's?
intended for solo
Thanks!
If I get the base game and Endwalker separately, will I get all the same dlc as the Complete Bundle?
Yes
So Endwalker gives all the previous dlc too?
Yes, except HW since that's included in the starter edition anyway
Oh sweet! Thanks!
Is SMN.. working right? I am L38.. first time playing it since 6.0. I did my hotbar re-adjusting, and Carbuncle is def in Guard mode, but won't attack anything, and putting it in Steady mode just makes it stop moving completely
Carbuncle doesn't auto attack anymore
carbuncle no longer does auto attacks, it's only there to execute actions and turn into summons
ok, cuz Guard still says "Order pet to refrain from attacking until you attack or are attacked" -.-;
It's now a "legacy" action.
yeah that action's useless now
are game time cards a physical thing or something?
you can buy them as digital codes from the SE store
They also have physical ones at Walmart. At least mine does
so I just upgraded my recollection weapon but where do I find the glowing replica of it? I can only find the non glowing one
When can I get the script exchange to show me level 80 items
If it's not at the replica vendor you might need to do another step or two before it will unlock. I recall there being some steps that didn't have replicas available right away.
Where should i go to for DX11 crash assistance
When you're level 80+ iirc Nevermind. I'm thinking of appraiser.
Yeah it only shows 70. No 80 mats. Despite being 82 weaver
Where is the NPC you're looking at? They might be one of the ones where the lower level ones don't show the newer stuff.
Just the npc called scrip exchange
what does it mean when a quest reward is a present box labeled ???
It's a surprise
usually i cant tell if i got something at all
Have you unlocked the eulmore house of splendors? @crisp estuary
It will reveal it on the quest reward dialog when you finish the quest.
Maybe not I’ll go check
I guess it’s only eulmore that’s got em I found em thanks
Is there an MB filter for mounts?
eulmore's not the only place for them
its just you need to unlock the specific lvl house to unlock it on the other house npcs
I found em In eulmore but the other places didn’t. Unless the quest will have them all haha then
Gotcha thx. I still see there’s no market board in these places

they're under the miscellany section
eulmore was the end-game hub for shb so no markerboard there
whats a fast way of leveling a tank 81-90
just like radz-at-han is the endgame hub for ew, it also has no marketboard
dungeons
don't skip frontline
now that i've exhausted my L80 EW MSQs, what are ways that i can get my jobs that are still L80 to L81?
mt gulg
Roulettes, woundrous tails, spam mt gulg, etc
The Bozjan southern front
dont forget menphinas earring if you have while you are lv80
oh, are the L80 dungeons poor sources of EXP?
Is there anything to spend tomestones of aphorism on once you've got the 570 gear you want?
50/60/70/80 dungeons are very poor for exp yes
now that only boss mobs give xp, lvl x0 dungeons seem to be quite decent sources of xp?
use it for alt jobs/wait for savage with the new crafting mats
no
nothing has changed in regards to old lvl cap dungeon exp
or is that just 50/60/70/80 roulette giving decent xp?
for certain reasons i'm not going to expand upon here, i am not having this on the proverbial table
they're shit compared to leveling dungeons
so for PLD i need to hit Stormbringer for the 60+ class quests. does that also apply for GNB?
Heyo - do survival manuals work when ocean fishing?
Exp changes just moved where the exp came from, not how much you get
oh ok
it should
Thank you! Will it stack with a food buff?
:O Thank you!
GNB's 60-70 quests don't go to stormblood areas iirc
oh cool awesome ok
I found the reason of my DX11 crash lmao, i was using Artctis 7 in chat mode not game mode.. wow, what a bunch of time wasted for something so simple
I’m watching streamers hit the same instances repeatedly for gear. Are there no loot lockouts like in some other mmos?
is there a good tool for FCs to track members jobs/raid content they want to do?
like website or something
Lockouts are only for current raids
Thanks
Which there are none atm
i convinced my friend to try ffxiv after like 6 months but i was wandering if to tell him to download it now or later since there's like a 4k person queue on average and it might leave a bad impression on him
if i understand correctly, both the crystalline mean and the studium are just DoL/DoH role quests - not activities you can do all the time like ishgard restoration. Is that it?
Google spreadsheet is a useful tool to have on hand for that stuff.
correct, they are one and done deals
Tell him to play when everyone else is sleeping.
he's rather busy the only time he got free are the really busy hours
Yikes. Wait for the weekend ig
Unless he’s up after midnight or before reset then… gg
If he doesn’t like it Bc of an expansion release causing login issues, then he’s really not giving the game a chance from the gameplay perspective. Just wait it out or have him try to play when there’s minimal online traffic
Kek
he said he understands and asked what's the best time to play then and if she should play now. i said try to play now but if queue bother you that much try next month or even later and he said sure so thx
will tell him to try weekend
Yeah. I mean easiest way is to play when no one else is on. Alternatively they can create an account on a diff dc opposite where they live. Ie if NA go to JP or EU and try to play. Might be laggy but more doable for time constraints if the dcs aren’t in primetime
how are the queues on EU
Cannot say exactly. I’m NA. But there’s a lodestone post for the “primetime” hours
long on evenings
beraly 20 people noon
idk morning
5000 queue?
yes
does reclaiming items from Doma Restoration slow down progress of the questline or something?
Trust system pretty reliable for a melee DPS? i guess it operates just like a normal MSQ solo Duty, eh? with NPC's.
no WONDER I've been at this shit for like 8 months
It’s gonna take the intended timeline to clear it but yes. They’re pretty good
how do i type kanji into ffxiv chat?
i have japanese keyboard already installed. just dont know how to allow it to be inputted into ffxiv
Hi, what does this symbol next to the word fending means?
High quality
what was the command to change bahamut/||phoenix|| sizes?
High quality, which results in more stats
Basically slightly more stats than the normal quality version
oh i see. thank you!
You wanna always get HQ over NQ
its /petsize [summon] [size]
Merry, yellow! For relic weapons on PLD. Sword and shield, basically I work on two? Two times the cost of materials.
i may need the picture reference someone sent me last week, i can't get it to work but i can't find it
no, for pld the sword and shield effectively count as one
Thanks Merry. Yeah, the way of Anima.
For the two summons you listed, they need to start with Demi-
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/text_command/ded8f6e43d6/
can you change the 90 summon sizes? pepehands
yes'
hi, i "store" alot of my event items and job specific items in the calamity salvager. do these things stay there forever or do i need to worry for them to disappear?
do ew role quests have any rewards besides the dyeable AF gear?
calamity salvager is permanent
Not really, some exp before the 90 one and materia from the 90 one.
my fc has 1 ship and 1 submersible, we can unlock a second ship now, should we go for prototype 7 straight away?
I believe you have to rank it up first before you can put on higher rank parts
so we have to make prototype 2, finish it all, then go to prototype 3?
hey question, what's a good way to get poetics? I need some to fill in my lack of healer gear on my sage
wondrous tails, blu masked carnival, msq roulette (probably best), alliance roulette
Wondrous tails? that's the stamp book thing from heavensward right?
yeah it should give 500 poetics for clearing
Do you need to finish Pagos relic to buy Elemental Armor in Pyros?
very easy to clear unsync ARR EX trials and spend retry points

is the wonderous tales easy to do?
If you're high level, yes
You can unsync some of the trials and solo them in a few minutes. Or pick one very quick one to use your retry points on.
How do you get mounts? I’m level 84 and still rocking a chocobo. I have a few but none of them are interesting
I am level 71
enter the duty finder menu (U on pc) > on the top left you have a little gear > press "unrestricted party" > do the wonderous tails stuff
at level 71 you should be able to easily solo ARR EX as you retain your level 71 stats against level 50 enemies, there's a big difference there
Any idea when they are gonna reopen world transfers?
not a clue, likely not soon
They haven't made any announcement. Probably when things settle down with the servers.
don't expect it to reopen for a while.
is there a place to see what all of the different icons on npc names mean? I know that the red icon means its aggro and blue means it isnt but not sure of some of the others
ty
About every 4 months for major patches, such as 5.1, 5.2. Smaller patches every couple of weeks to a month in between those.
Occasionally I will see a little letter to the left of the targets nameplate mostly in dungeons, what does that mean? Cant find in what you linked @strange coral
to the right*
The letters are just there to distinguish mobs so you can say something like "focus on B"
If there's like 5 of the same mob with the same name
ah so its more or less an automatic target marker
I've never seen anyone actually use them
Just reached mor dhona for the first time and I had a popup to tell me there was difference instances. Feels weird when I see the crowd in the 3 main cities. Is there a reason ? Is Mor Dhona an important place ?
Mor Dhona, specifically Revenant's Toll, the ARR end-game hub
MSQ takes you there a bunch so they added instances to not clog it
So people can actually go there and not be stopped
hey guys, my game bugged out, i can't hear battle effects but i do hear everything else. And the sound freezes every 10 secs or so
i feel like i have to relog.. i dont want to wait a 3k queue... any tip..?=
could be a sound driver issue?
what mount is this ?
I doubt the queue is at 3k right now though might be worth it to go ahead and relog to get ahead of the queue
I believe that's for lvl 30 conjurer
There's a
i think? or a
that gives it to you
unicorn, you can get it when you hit lv30 as a conjurer
is there any place where i can check how congestionate is the world before trying to relog?
why does conj get a mount at 30 wot
I see, thanks 🙂
wait are there any other class mounts
Tank achievement mounts
i dont remember getting one for PLD, unless i missed something
The CNJ one is a unique case
cnj gets a mount at lv30 because it was to incentive people to play as a healer <30
as conjurer is the only healer you can start as
tanks get their mounts via achievements
so after you get the mount for being lvl 30 cnj u can use it as all classes on the same char right?
Yes
oh that makes sense on the incentive
As a ninja why would I ever use assassinate
I just got it and it doesn't really seem like a good skill
It's an ogcd. You can weave it in between your gcds for some free damage
oh wtf thats wild
I've not played in a long time just coming back is there a good video for a easy crossbar Samurai set up.?
At what level difference does unsync content become unreasonable to solo?
(I'm a PLD)
Rn, I’d say 20 levels
530 gear at lvl 80 was JUST starting to get late HW and early SB to be solod
So can you still solo those now with EW released?
Only rlly have experience going back in savages for mounts, arr can be solod. HW may require small groups to solo, StB will probably still require mechs and not max people but a nice sized group, ShB is just there for speedrunning friends ig
is there any way to desynth multiple items? im getting carpal
Nope
Only stacks of the same items from the desynth window
is bard hard?
I'm currently level 86, trekking through shadowbringers and was wondering if story dungeons are soloable. I very comfortably solo'd HW content (at level 70)
Not really. It's more proc-based than most other classes. Keep dots up on enemy, keep a song playing, do your rotation and react to the procs as needed.
thank you!!
Story dungeons from which expansion? StB: maybe. ShB: I doubt it.
Although in ShB you can use the trust system to do them with npcs
besides, lv 50 crafter quest, is there any other quests that requires materia?
do all FATEs give a similar %XP on completion, since they can be level synced?
Lowered level fates will give you less xp
Percentage wise
Cause it's made for that level
Yeah, just feels much slower to me
It is slower
Is there any reason to not have Snagging on as fisher?
at what level does materia start mattering? im in my early 30s btw. is it worth it to soulbond a lvl 24 wep?
Honestly? Not untill Max level
Having it on increases the amount of stuff you can possibly catch, so if you're only after stuff/fish that don't require it, you might want to leave it off.
You'll be changing weps and gear too many times for it to matter
trusts are trash - so yes, they are slower.
dps trusts do less damage than GNB,
they stop doing damage/healing during mechanics & will only do single target.
They're designed to always take 30mins
Their damage changes based on your performance
^
looks at urianger getting hit by every left/right hook in ||holminster switch||
they're just trash
As someone who likes to bask in a story alone, I think it's pretty awesome the trust system exists, but for it to take 30 minutes is a bit long
They got updated in EW.
I've never had them fail mechanics unless it was something I did to cause their ai to go wonky
Some players will literally exceed the 30 minute mark Bc they don’t know what an aoe combo is
not in any meaningful way tho.
they still run to mid on stack markers, possibly making it so they run away from you & thus letting you die.
I've had them come directly to me
But they don't move after stopping
does fantasia work right now? i dont see the option when i right click my character
Not gonna discredit your experiences Bc AI is flawed in every aspect but it’s definitely an upgrade from shb
if you're getting the "unable to obtain character data" on the character select screen, you need to either wait for a later hour when servers aren't quite as congested or just keep refreshing the character select screen until the server is able to obtain character data to use your fantasia
got it thanks

is it normal that theres a level 80 skill that i can't use?
it says i havent learned it
job quest
Do your reaper/sage job quest
if its for reaper/sage, you need to do your lv 80 job quest
any idea what time would be good to make the character? (every server I'm interested in is blocked for almost 2h now)
when everyone else is sleeping
for eu starting in like 3-4 hrs
thank you 😄
I often get up early so I can log in and get in before the masses, best thing to do imo
hi, is there a way to default my hotbar for a class? i got a bunch of skills with a red slash on them. id like to reset it to default lineup so i can relearn the class.
hey peeps to continue the msq i had to be level 85 was 84 a little away to level so i had to some side quest and fates did you guys experience this to?
nope
I didn't - but I had FC exp buff always on and did a few hunts along the way
Are Blade of Faith/Truth/Valor potencies affected by Requiescat? Scratch that, they reworded Req it seems. They are not
I can't say I did, no. I actually ended up keeping pace with the MSQ in terms of level consistently, although I did have rested xp bonus and FC xp buff. I actually ended up hitting 90 before 90 MSQ.
Did you use a second class for some of the MSQ at any point?
when will we be able to buy the new mounts for 99 totems?
