Dzemael Darkhold to go from 46 to 47 then Aurum Vale to go from 47 to 49 (then to 50 because after like three of the 49 quests the MSQ goes to 50)
Adventurer Squadron is what I personally used to get all my classes from 20-50
So i unlocked the Red Mage class and i noticed how the balance gauge is blocking my duty list.
Any good tips on rearranging the hud?
You can move the things on your HUD, there is an option for it
I just placed all my job specific gauges down near the center/bottom
how do i find a healer to queue with so my queue times are shorter?
Make a PF?
It's useful to see what mobs you have aggro on.
It kinda helps with tab target
Oh... aren't a tank. Yeah it's helpful for targetting.
Is there a way to replenish GP faster for Botany?
Also @leaden ginkgo there are many fights with lots of targets and hard to target some by clicking, it's helpful in that sense ~
Cordials or traits at higher levels.
I'm at 80 and have all the regen traits - what are cordials?
are food buff subjected to level sync ?
Replenish amount of gp, some can be crafted or bought with scrips.
can I change my summoner pet color ? I want it red
How in God's name does Astrodyne work
anyone else having problems with massive fps drops anywhere you are in the game?
This ability makes no sense to me
my friend is having rly big fps problems when they never had any before
hi what is a good gil making profession?
Literally all of the crafters
i currently have a lvl83 weaver(specialist) but it's not optimal
not that it's not making gil, but it takes 1-2 days to make 200k+ I want a proefssion that can make 200k in 6 hours
Having all the crafters will do that, probably
thx
https://i.imgur.com/0AVFZoR.png what i do with this
How much dps loss is keeping death design at 60 seconds every time compared to just 30?
If it is 30 i keep forgetting that it runs out unfortunately
It is not really a DPS lost of anything
As long as you don't refresh when you are at 30s+ you will be fine
How do I get faster mount speed?
Ah ok. I usually refresh at around 10 seconds left
If you wanna increase Walk speed, it is done on a per map basis, @prime plover
But ultimately nothing beats flying
it is technically a DPS loss if the boss dies with more than 30secs but a minimal one
well I should say on average
if that additional GCD was the 1 of the 123 it's DPS neutral
A very possible scenario is you have to refresh during burst
if it was 2 or 3 it's a loss 80/160potency
Yeah
and yeah I guess if the boss takes a break it can be a loss too there, so can lose more than once
but it's comfy to get it to ~60secs and not have to think about it, and better than letting it drop
Are other mounts just faster than others?
Unless the fight has super cursed opening, like Suzaku ex, where the boss flies off and do a mechanic
Then yeah, what pyros said, do it twice, put it at 60s
@prime plover nope
mounts are all the same speed, the SDS Fenrir bike mount is always at 1star speed even if you havent unlocked it's the only unique one
1 star walk speed
yes walk, fly is always the same speed
How do I get faster walk speed? lol I see other people are faster.
sprint?
Different classes have passives that increase move speed
if you mean mount speed, just read the answers above?
I don't think we address how to get higher walk speed for mounts
oh you said map basis but not buying the map things
You'd need to get mount riding maps for each region, iirc
tbh, I just unlock flying asap for each map, and never bother to look up how to make my mount walk faster
Well, I'm in Bozjan, some people seem faster. Is there flying there though?
what is melding?
Jk, nvm, there's a riding map.

Some gears have slots, which allows you to meld materia onto them, melding adds additional secondary stats for combat jobs
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
For combat jobs, melding is not very important as you are leveling up. You level up very fast and get better gear with significant better stat just as fast, so it is never worth the effort to meld for secondary stats
For crafter/gatherer, melding is very useful even at relatively low level because they'd allow you to skip gears
See any developer on help my issue
is there a point to shards
Crafting
ah fsho
ive been making about 800k a hour with mining
Dude everyone has had bad queues, it’s all about when you log in
Should I bother upgrading from my pentamelded hammer or wait for Level 90?
Since we're getting another crafting tier soonish.
What ring should I get for getting into Ex fights? I have the 570 ring but its unique, I need a different one
Does radz-at have an inn?
@leaden ginkgo dungeon will do
does a PF extreme trial that says "Logs" in the description refer to totems?
@queen fern the lvl 87 just need a single CP+6 meld, and it's craftmanship and control stat beat the crap out of your Aesthete main hand
Yeah, I was just wondering if it was worth upgrading now when I can still complete crafts no problem.
I would say yes
The new tier coming later will have high craftmanship and control Requirement
87 isn't the highest anyway?
Yeah, that's the thing.
oh for lvling
yeah don't upgrade
get to 90 then make the 90 stuff, no point upgrading inbetween imo
Oh, nvm, I thought you meant the master recipe coming later
Is there anything to do with new tomestones if you dont need the gear?
trying 2 grab 2nd to last anima weapon step nd it says system changes require a redistribution of attribute points wht do i do abt tht </3
not yet, in 6.05 you'll be able to buy materials to sell
Why does the polar bear mount's crystal ice animation have a cooldown?
It is the crystal sand step
Concerns over particle spamming?
Have you done the Crystal Sand part?
kk ty. guess ill stay capped until then xd
yes
Just redo it, as it says
Go to the NPC in Idyllshire
ah okay
Can you get any "change gender/race/appearance" items during the game for free?
Wait what does it mean bySE they gave additional 14 days to the current 7 free game time?
So it is 7 becoming 21 days or 7 to 14?
No, the only thing you can change for free is your hairstyle and a few other facial extras like tattoos and some facial hair via the esthetician
Ahhh, damn! True
Ayy, thanks!
does the loyal butler set bonus work on females since becoming unisex?
you shouldnt be equipping glamour anyway
The set bonus shouldn’t matter, it’s glam
Is there anymore news about the sound popping issues? I can't go the forums
Is advertising in Hydaelyn about your static bannable?
how do I vote kick someone from a party?
no as long as it isn't nuisnace behavior, people advert about everythin all the time
except if the static is doing anything illegal like RMT which i cannot imagine it is
nuisance behavior falls under spamming or harassing people about it
Party list, right click the guy
What did they do though?
Can’t kick em then
keeps saying that command is unavailable at this time
you can't kick someone who's disconnected?
Also you need more than one person because majority vote
yeah it's 3 of us just waiting on this guy who's been gone for about 7 minutes now
shouldn't have an issue getting majority vote
What’s the best leveling method for dps from 80-90 on second job
just not sure how to initiate cause it won't let me open party list
can you not do it before 15 minutes?
Believe it or not, Bozja
You can either spam the Endwalker dungeons or Zadnor Z3 (I think that's where people are leveling at for 80+) is a perfectly acceptable alternative that takes between 16 to 20 hours of grinding to go from 80 to 90 if your DPS queus are atrocious
can I safely skip the ShB credits?
is there really this option? i dont find it
Oh my god. I leveled 4 classes in ShB in zadnor and I had thought it would be the end of that. Guess I was wrong.
Can I ask a question about shb lore here? I know that the lore-spoilers section is preferred, but I don't want to accendatally apoil ew.
bozja is not necessarily the best, but it's an efficient method still
dungeon spam with low queues is better xp I think, as long as the group aren't all trust tier
use | | these lines | | but without spaces to ||spoiler stuff ||
spoiler and tag with context, but go ahead
ok
yo is there a specific channel where i can request help to complete raids etc ?
||In the post shadowbringers content, I am on the msq where I talk to tiamat for the second time after seeing lunar bahumat. Will her role be stop to fandaniel from having influence over bahumat. This what I understand after she was referring to how she as well as her children from Meracydia are also influenced by ascians ||
That’s more #archived-lore-spoilers territory
that section exists? lol. I was worried that endwalker would be spoiled for me
tag ur spoiler with context on what type of spoiler it is
secondly, ||quick answer, she'll just help out with lunar bahamut. if i say any more, it reveals too much||
so that one's a 5.4 - 5.5 spoiler
endwalker spoilers are tagged in #archived-lore-spoilers
yep
its #916247709462200390 that you need to stay away from

also, frank advice, asking how a story will play out is not a great line of questioning to lore
if your intention is to care about the story, ask clarifying questions on waht you know and form your own conclusion on how it will play out
I care, but I was just confused. What can I say
I'm not saying you're wrong to ask, I'm saying that it's not really productive to ask "what happens next with x character" when it will be revealed
If I don't understand what the context of this MSQ is how will I understand what I will read in the future.
Unless you are telling me to not worry about that
5.4 to 5.5 spoilers ||Tiamat just agrees to help deal with the issue in the second meeting. The ambiguity in that is not really present, and the results of her help will show up as you play the story. I am just not really sure what additional context is needed.||
Are there any levequests that still give a decent amount of gil since the cookies have been nerfed? Not really for money making but I'm about 800k shy of the honest gillionaire title haha so was hoping to get it
So I was right I thought I understood without realizing then lol
I actually don't know myself but I'd like to second that question, anyone else know how leves are atm?
is it possible to get a portal with EW maps?
for exp its still good but collectables are just as good
I saw that they suspended the delivery of the digital game but if i already bought it for a friend can they still activate it?
they're roughly all the same, just check which one gives 5k+ and do that
Not available yet
ahh ty
Yep. It's not that complicated, you may have been overthinking. Happens to us all
yup

these are the triple turn-ins as well, yeah?
leves are still the easiest way to lvl crafters until catchup content like restoration, collectables are nice as a backup when you run out of leves
Grade 12 kinisiology has melted by brain, what can I say
nah, I mean the money aspect as those were reportedly nerfed in the patch notes
there's no more triple turn in at all in EW leves, and ShB ones were nerfed enough they're just worse I think
ah, so it is worse than before per allowance by far
yes likely, I haven't done shb leve farming but I assume it was more than 5k each
10k per hq turn-in is nice 
yeah it's 60k instead of a bit over 100k per 6 allowances now so it's worse but still no slouch
actually triple turn ins might still be better looking at it
na nvm
there's some at near 6k I guess it's a bit better, although you'd need a bunch of shb mats
dwarven mythril file and dwarven cotton petasos are 1.9k triple turn in, so 5.7k each vs EW single turn ins for ~5k so you gain a little bit
so might be worth doing that instead while there's a lot of ppl dumping ShB materials for cheap
im lvl 20, is it safe to sell/npc pretty much all of my items including equips?
dude help me please when tim looking at fflogs with multiple encounters HOW DO I LOOK AT ONE
multiple of the same encounter*
guna buy a apartment to throw all my random housing stuff, does it matter which vendor i buy the place from, or does that decide what my apartment looks like
well the area defines where you get your appartment obv but other than that affects nothing
it does actually, the inner pillars on he walls will have an unchangeable specific look corresponding to the area
It affects wall pillars inside
oh wall pillars I see
but if it's ur apartment to just throw shit in then whatever
No, the pillars can’t be changed
if i wana change it to a different spot, would i lose 500k gil
yeah wall pillars are stuck like that
you would have to repay another 500k to relocate to another apartment since you lose the old one
time to find a wiki for pillars
personally i'm partial to lavender beds since it's the most neutral but that's person to person by far
i own a house in the mist and built around the interior trim
Hey everyone, I actually got a weird question. I'm pretty new to FFXIV and MMOs in general. How do I leave a Company that is actually really good to me with friendly people but just doesn't have the OOG interaction and in-game engagement like I want out of a Company? I'm trying desperately to not be a dick about it because they are genuinely nice people
uhh anyone else having some issues getting the count for this quest?
i did the roulette and did a 80 dg
you say exactly that, then you leave?
How many people will i now need for o12s unsync?
might be bugged and they haven't updated the reqs to fit 80 dungeons
leave without a word or say it doesn't work out for you
known bug atm iirc
no use running for it atm since its not yet fixed
well i just hope i get a 50/60/70 dg
alright gamers - I need help with collectability - can someone pls explain this to me and what the best options are? LOL https://i.imgur.com/pZy6B7U.png
I know about that Thavnir node or w/e that people come to at 2 to get it, but I haven't gotten it, idk what I should be pressing T_T
Try to get max then collect, not that hard
ok im confused... i died 3 times and i was able to respawn in the middle of still fighting him... and it wasnt considered a wipe???????
what's the best to get max though?
what's the bis strat
works like monster hunter
you can cart a certain amount of times until it's a hunt fail
ooooooooooo i didnt know that
it does a bunch of unique mechanics, like preventing heals in EX and not really having tanking requirements and stuff like that, also the EX is 4man interestingly, so yeah it's a pretty unique fight that tries to mimic some of the monster hunter mechanics instead
howwwwww dooooooooo iiiiiii checkkkkk individual encounters
there should be a fflogs discord for fflogs questions, but you just click on it? not exactly sure what your issue is
Anyone willing to help a returning/newbie through some story?
Why do some triple triad people I face refuse to give me cards, no matter how many times I beat them?
Brand new player here.
Is the only way to purchase legal Gils through this pack?
Tales of Adventure: A Realm Reborn: https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/product/801
I would like some base currency to gear as I level/teleport freely 😦
NPCs that is
quick question, I want to play my account from a ps4 do I need to buy the expansions too or just the base game
the game gives you gil to cover most costs, unless you're spending willy nilly
Maybe I aim too high? But I feel like I sometimes I need more Mana and the good ether are expensive.
Playing Conjurer
!action lucid dreaming
That should never happen
You don’t need ethers as a healer
You don’t need to buy gil
Ah I'm only too low level then 🙂
Or I spam my spells too much haha
Don’t heal more than is necessary
Yeah I don't think I'd want the whole 300 000 from the shop's package, probably 10-15K would put me at ease of mind hahaha
You’ll get that from like ten quests
By level 90 you’ll have like 3million just from story completion
Gil is provided.
I beat this chick like 30 times, but she never gives me either of the two cards I can win from her. What am I doing wrong?
Alrighty, thanks!
getting unlucky rng
Obnoxiously unlucky
I’ve played an NPC over 500 times before he dropped the card I was after.
Granted this was before rates were buffed, but rng is rng
Story is more like single player content
Starting to get triggered. Odds are I'll finally beat her and it'll be a one star card I'll never use anyway 
Well not that I'll finally beat her, but she'll finally drop a card
Where do I turn in botany collectibles?

The collectible appraiser, any one will do
Wow she dropped one, and yep, I'll never be using it ;-;
Any idea am I getting the bonus week to the sub, because I don't see how many days I have left of play time ?
If you are subbed on the 21st of Dec, you will receive the free sub time .
Pog, thanks a lot
If the item i need to gather is lvl 88, what level do i need to be on my gatherer to see the node?
Ahh Okie! thanks
How to clear Delubrum post Shb?
does just owning the game + EW count as being subbed if I'm just playing off the free 30 days?
for the bonus time they're giving on 21st
Know mechanics, and use your bozja items
Oml I finally got it
afaik matchmaking needs at least 24 people
it auto instances everyone after 10(?) minutes and grants an echo buff accordingly
When was Bozja announced? I am trying to understand when, if ever, we could expect an announcement for an exploratory mission during Endwalker's cycle.
that's a bigass buff
yeah it was futile
we all just left. wondering how i can clear this as a first timer in delubrum
What can you get with the totems from the EW Ex trials?
well usually you have way more people but EW
i guess i'll just wait and people might come back for blade weapon farming
@leaden ginkgo trial 1 gives accessories and 2 gives weapons
Weapons for EX2, accessories for EX1
Mounts come later, as usual
Will the mounts be for those trials? Or what?
yes?
There are mounts
mounts are in the drop table
But you can’t buy them with totems yet
Ahh ok
good place to look for raid gatherings? trying to do this alexander run a few times to a quest
Needa win roll
@junior fog party finder
Mm one more question, what are the names of the mounts?
Duty finder if its normal
||Lynx of Divine Light, Lynx of Eternal Darkness||

Hey, good morning all! ... i have a question. I played ff14 for a while but never got into housing. I wanted to buy an apartment, but they are sold out on my server? Is this possible or am i dumb? :c
Apartments are not sold out in any server
Check other wards, subdivisions and districts
that's like almost impossible
they can be sold out in a given ward
the early wards would be sold out because you're defaulted to them
but you can switch to another ward, there's like 32 or whatever
And the subdivision of each ward
Go to the NPC who takes you out of the zone/go to the entrance
And go to specified ward
easiest way is to just go back to the city and click the main aetheryte again, but you can change subdivision/ward at a NPC in each housing area
And access the subdivision in each ward via the aethernet
Oh boy, yeah... now i see it. 😐
Thank you guys! :3
can someone tell me what pants/skirt is this
@vocal spruce southern seas skirt
I have some friends who are under the impression that people upgrading or moving their houses will not be exempt from the lottery system like they are from the timers.
Does anyone know if there's any truth to this?
Hey quick question, I just bought the starter edition of FFXIV on steam two days ago, how long should it take before I complete ARR so I can unlock astrologian?
What msq are you on?
Does anyone know when 6.1 will be released? I realise that I need to clear up to 3.3 in order to by eligible for ishgard housing and I'm only at the start of heavensward....
Around February ur fine
It's probally pirates (I'm level 22 in archer)
Does anyone know? I'd find it very strange if upgrades and moves were subject to lotteries, seeing as how it's just replacing one house for another and wouldn't really do anything to prevent house selling.
are the EW cutscenes available for rewatch in the inn?
Yes
i meant credits. durr.
If i accidentally buy armor or something with tombstones that i dont need is there a way to get some tombstones back?
the credits cutscenes.
They are
okay cool thank you!
They are in the last quest
Where do I exchange tombstones?
Guess I'll check back later...
Auriana, Mor Dhona
I think house selling died with the removal of relocation in 6.0, I see no reason why relocation will be allowed for ishgard housing, am I wrong?
it's the truth if you want to relocate you need to play the lottery also, was explained in 1 of the last few ew live letter before release should also be in #translations-and-liveletters
Thanks
Why would they do that though? Were people actually still selling houses through relocating?
Enabling relocation for ishgard housing practically means that selling relocations are back on the table
No way they are doing that
Yeah but I don't want an Ishgard house.
I just want a medium sized house in Mist.
One which will likely be abandoned by someone who is getting a house in Ishgard.
Does that mean I still need to deal with the lottery system?
then pray you win the lottery
I thought the lottery system was only being applied to the new districts anyway while the old ones would still use the timer.
Why do you think they disabled relocation in the first place?
No cheating
I didn't know that they did! I thought selling had died out when the timers were implimented.
what are timers?
The housing buy timer is an invisible timer that goes active when the plot is available to purchase
It's anywhere from single digits up to 72 hours, but we have no exact numbers
it's also random
and the lottery system?
:o
is the new system that will be replacing the random plot timer
You buy a lottery ticket worth the plot and then there's a draw
The last chance to get a medium mist ward was before 6.0 by buying relocations, now everyone gotta go through the lottery
The losers get their money back ofc
You have to pay the gil up front for the lottery ticket but if you don't win it you're refunded
if you do win, you don't get refunded
and if you don't accept it's also not refunded
Wait, what do you mean by "if you don't accept?"
If you don't claim the house
There's a period of time where you have to show up to the physical plot and click on the placard to accept the plot
It's like a week
At first there was and, for some reason, they thought it'd be a brilliant idea to allow single players to own multiple properties.
There's no reason not to do so though
You lose your money for wasting people’s time basically

How do you get notified if you won though? Do you get sent something via mail moogle?
we don't know
what are ppl buying mid-level materia for? Most of them I see ppl buying like 50 at a time
Also, were people still selling houses through relocation? Because if not this measure seems kind of pointless. It's like, people who already own houses already had to go through bullshit to get their current house, why make them go through it a second time, especially if it's not doing anything to curb illicit in-game activity?
But that's not what I was asking...
I said were people still selling houses through relocation since the timers were implemented?
Because this is the first time I'm hearing anything about it.
crafter gather? mid tier melds still use some of them
yes ppl sold plots
It's still very common after timers
nah combat ones too
even with timer ppl sold plots
And they were going for exorbitant prices as well
possibly trading for higher tiers with mutamix
Also, dafuq? I thought they were gonna do All Saints Wake before Starlight! o.o
A late All Saints Wake, I mean.
The quests and rewards are even in the game's files.
Hey which beast tribes are worth redoing missions for? Just checked Ananta and they give a measly 78-80k exp for each mission. At least Pixies give like 300k. Nothing below Pixies worth doing?
all saint wake comes sometimes in january
Well, if you have the extra allowances, you might as well.
You get 12 allowances daily.
And only three quests per tribe.
It's about time vs exp gained. 80k to run around the map isn't really worth it so just curious if there was anything else. Guess I'll just Ixaal for my low level crafters instead.
If you are going for anima relics, it's worth doing the HW ones for their tokens
only pixie combat are worth noting for exp
For 70-80
the other combat ones give meh exp
might do them while waiting for your dungeon queue but dont focus em
they are only good exp for their expansions level range
I've done Pixies for 80+ too. 330k each quest amounts to 1M for a few min (they're easy quests luckily). So daily only using 3 allowances.
I tried Dancer at 66, still only 78k exp
they give not that much exp but you're done in like 5 mins
they mean that lower levels need less xp to level up
but even accounting for that, pixie give about double the other expansion combat tribes in terms of exp
Yeah exactly, it's just much more worth. I just wanna level fast basically cause inventory space isn't even allowing me to switch to low level classes 😂
also it is snowing in gridania. yay
Huh? I've never seen snow in gridania before
seasonal event
Oh right there's a new event. Gotta check that out too! Thanks!
Chrimas
does ff14 do new years presents for players?
No
does the game give you pity gear now if you try to grind for a dungeon gear set? or was that always a thing
We have the New Years event
Heavensturn, that’s the name.
you always get one piece of gear directly in your bags for completing a dungeon
it's most often directly for your job
was that always a thing?
for as long as i've been playing, which is a few months
Only in leveling dungeons tho
well it cant give you second copies of unique items
so if you have all the rest it probably gives you what you dont have
Always hit that recommended gear button
yeah it's sneaky
yup
Guys with this christmas event going on is it possible to get the christmas glamours again? Starlight robe etc?
or only the minions?
no previous event stuff does not return
it gets retired to the real life money shop
ah ok ill just ignore the event completely then lol
What am i doing here?
Giving stats, doesn’t matter what you add. It’s glam
How do I unlock the extreme/savage stuff in Endwalker?
Hi, anyone know how to change NPC dialogue back to English? Idk how I changed it, but it just happened tonight
better start learning japanese boy
Why is it in Chinese?
xd
Is there any news regarding name change?
It's every NPC thus far, like my retainers and anything with dialogue
Are you playing the game from China?
I'm in the USA and have been; I was viewing MSQ just fine earlier today
It's prolly a bug with the event
for leveling alt classes pre-50, is GC gear a pretty cheap bet?
I think it's been happening before the event
Just use dungeon gear
just do palace of the dead and go in nekkid
Resetting my game helped the language thing, whew
rn im not using potd since it's my first alt class from level 1. figure id use it to explore the early stages of other main cities a bit more
Im currently working on my on my leves for the ARR relic, but the person who should provide the leves doesnt. Did I miss a step?
what pants are theses?
doesnt what? Offer the correct leve? do a couple and the offer will change
They dont offer any leves
arr leves rotate so do another till the one you need shows
Im trying to do one of the grand company leves in the coerthas highlands. But the person doesnt provide me with any
which leve do you need?
An imp imobile
I need help with heavensward relic weapon
are you on the right gc tab?
When I talk to him, he doesn't let me see any leves
the icon is not on top of his head either
I told you already, you get umbrite and sand. Then you raise stats
hey so two qs about sch/smn
one, is aetherflow ii/iii just "you get two/three resources"
and has energy drain always been confusingly different skills between the two
Where's the seasonal shop?
Beat the event, it’s by the amphitheater
the online store I believe
I think these; https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/72df675b488 paired with a certain set of shoes
That’s all you get
Cash shop stuff is always available
no sale ><
They announce sales
Do they usually have christmas sales?
How do I get into the fashion report stuff? Does anyone know a good source of info to help me get high scores each week?
Hey so another question about the new housing lottery system...
@leaden ginkgo Look up Kaiyokostar
Thanks i'll do that
Does each house have its own lottery, or can you just apply for a specific sized house in a specific housing district from a pool of such houses?
Each plot it seems
I don't need to complete Wondrous Tails stuff synced, right=
You bid for the specific plot you want yeah
Well... they kind of just created a whole new set of problems then.
Now people with a shitload of gil who can afford to put money down on multiple houses will have an unfair advantage.
@lethal mist Not that I know of, you can do them unsync
No, you can only bid for one house per account
That was always the case tbh. They can just make alt accounts and bid too. What are we gonna do about it`?
Unless something specifies being synced, it doesn’t have to
Still not a fan of the idea. I just want a medium plot in Mist, I don't care where it is. ~.~
"Certain items available during previous iterations of the event can be obtained via the Seasonal Shop."
uh am i missing something lol
i have no clue wut this is lol
Hope there's at least a way of seeing how many other people are in the drawing for that specific plot.
Just refers to random firework consumables 99% of the time.
Lifehack: pick the worst plot cause chances are fewer people in the pool xD
Well, the only way now is to pray to RNGeus when a medium mist plot becomes available or you buy a FC medium mist house
oh where can i get those
From the seasonal shop
From the event vendor usually found at the event location.
(I haven’t logged in yet to do the event)
o
There’s two stands by the amphitheater, they’ll be in one of em
your best bet is perhaps going to a random ward and trying a house there,i assume most would try either the first ward or the last one overall
found them thx
That's actually what everyone does.

No one really cares about what ward they're in.
I mean, some will want to be in the same ward with their FC mates still

just become a bazgillionaire and buy the entire ward
Why not, what if I just made 30 characters and buy 1 house on each
pay the subscriptions
Lottery, good luck getting it to happen
you'd need 30 square enix accounts, not just 30 alts
y
I mean on 1 account 😛 that should be pos right?
You'll need 4 accounts minimum to do that
nope
do u need so many houses
ah really
Since 1 account can only have 8 characters per world
so you can sell them at higher prices for profit
is it still efficient to produce max quality Purple Scrip collectables with melded i490 crafting gear?
oh cool
i swear there were limits on buying houses on alts
uncool
@mighty robin
yes cool in a sad depressing way
87 HQ gear out paces it from what I heard
@mighty robin There were, but you can circumvent that by buying FC houses
ahhh
yo i have question (not about houses) that cool?
yes
how do i get blue eye color on miqote?
fantasia
only way?
Yea
pretty much
You get one for free at the end of ARR
wait does fantasia add exclusive eye colors?
No
no
no
well im making a new 1 rn
you can have odd eyes though
yet i still dont understand how i got 2...
Oh
I spent 1 fantasia to change my eye color and another to change my skin tone...this should be illegal
im asking which 1s blue
Heavensward collectors edition?
heavensward CE i think
they all look green
aah
Try a moon kitty
i think so
Lighting
cursed
But everyone has blue eyes
looks blue to me
another quester, what happens if you use another fantasia while another is spent and pending use?
very blue
just did
you cannot i think
bruh looks black
SURE?
either that or it just waits until the first one is used
I had 2 and I didn't have any CE prior to EW. I think you get a second one upon finishing something MSQ or whatnot.
then the other will activate
You don’t
hmm
did you do it by accident?
no
wut???? its blue, you colourblind?
oh
im too afraid
Are you talking the pupils? Because thems some blue eyes
they're in my saddlebag
yh looking for light blue lol
as always
good
I think you should get yellow eyes since that is the natural color for kitties
just look through the colour palette
i did :?
saddlebag is only fit for fishing tackles and whatnot
So how did you not see blue?
that color
colorblind?
did i miss a quest? i dont think i got the starlight mobile from the event, only the 2 minions
ooof
probs tbh
there light blue, including the palette so you can see where it is

though the blues can look a but purply
Vendor
also i have gshade on, soo there's that
Lol what a way to find out xD
And as I mentioned before, Lighting
true dat
is it worth getting an extended saddlebag?
which vendor? o.o i dont see an event specific npc vendor
Someone messaged me this but I can't reply cause "on another World Server" which is weird as they've messaged me, anyway, what does that mean to reset?
just what i was thinking
great idea!
but i need to find out how
But you can't transfer stuff between alts though???
i need 2 pcs or something
normal colours on left, gshade on right, i use ShenovaGameplay profile
uh
not really,if you have a fc you can store items there
you cannot have two chars open at the same time on the same account
I saw a streamer have his crystal like this, how do I do this!?
[May contain minor spoiler because of armour]
Mod
simpletweaks
You can use a second chance point to mark a duty you completed as uncompleted, while making a random uncompleted duty completed.
oooof
dalamund plugin
thanks for enlighten us
Oop thanks

How exactly does that work tho? I kinda don't wanna mess it up. Already done a few things but thought the "Second Chance" was for rerolling your stickers to align them?
Is there a guide maybe I can read?
Thank you
kk looks more blue now lol
yw
Starlight celebrant
To give an example of how it works:
You use the retry option on level 90 dungeons, which you already completed.
Level 90 dungeons is no longer marked as completed, letting you run one again for another sticker.
Since you used a Retry, a random duty in the book you haven’t completed is now marked as completed, like Memoria Misera EX
with second chances being so easy to get too, id just use a few and see what happens
you can do 2 things, shuffle moves the stickers around, reset or renew or whatever will "un-complete" a duty and complete a random other one, which lets you run the duty again for another seal
do paid retainers extend their services to all characters or just one?
Oh so there's a CHANCE it marks Memoria, unless it's the only one unmarked then it's guaranteed?
Yes, but you can only complete 9 total duties in the book
i imagine across all chars
All characters on the account
doesn't matter what it completes, just redo the one you reset
you only need to do 9 seals, not the whole book
so you can for example do Titan EX 9 times if you have that available
you just reset it 8 times(+1 you started with), and that's the book complete
here goes my lalafel alt!
call it emergency food
Hurricane Falafel
is the snowball emote i see people using from a previous iteration of the christmas event?
oh it's a sidequest ok
Yo how can i minimize all of the summoner pets of other players?
Very distracting
/petsize small i think
why are lalafells almost always adorable?
im done
they are the devil
the setting will not affect how other players see your summons is what it means
I think it just means the size you select will not effect what other players see
Why are there so many lalafells antagonists in the game? hmmm
Smol Titan is really cute tho
ahh ok, thats good
the size is just client side, it's whatever you set it to, including for other ppl
You see a really angry Titan being summoned, but only as big as a lalafell
so you make everything small and it's a lot easier to see, although if you don't have limited/no effects, stuff like Ifrit summon will still blast a lot of lights out
smol race best race
Mad Because Small
devils i tell ya
Jealous of Tall
Jealous of Tall
all i see is potatoes trying their best to play their roles, nothing wrong with that... right.. right!?
and now we have carrots and rabbits added to the mix..
Sirs this is #questions-and-help
remember that this channel is mostly for questions about the game #beginner-lounge is for talking mostly
Yeah sry thx for the help with the minimize summoner pets, it worked and i dont get flash banged anymore by ifrit
ah sorry about that
Get on Blue mage > do Bowl of embers xtreme > 1shot ifrit in 0:03 seconds, get out, retry Bowl of embers extreme > 1Shot ifrit in 0:03 seconds, get out retry Bowl of embers extreme ad infinitum but this way you cannot shuffle your chances to get the highest rewards
you can if you get more second chance points
How do you get more points?
Yeah but that beats the point of doing it quickly a bit
clearing content with someone getting first time bonus
You finish duties with first timers
Oh no worries, I'll just clear the Tails as intended as i got plenty to leve. I will solo some stuff ofc for efficiency
and being a first timer yourself counts
So its christmas event now but what do I get or what do I have to do to get... stuff
how do I get powder sugar ? im so confused >~<
Yeah how its my first event
same T-T
Feeling lost is sadge
Use your map
for the minions you go to old gridania and take a very short 2 quests from a cat lady and they are the rewards for the second one
Are there only minions?
theres the shop where you buy seasonal stuff with powdered sugar and cloth but idk how to get them
Yeah Imma go watch a guide or something xD
also theres a repetable quest that gives you 10 magicka prisms
That’s not right
You just buy the stuff with Gil
So can u buy anything cool because the minions seem not worth it at all
to even do the quests i mean
How dare you say that about Rudy
oh then im really lost
i went to some guy and he is selling stuff with powdered sugar
Starlight celebrant is the event vendor
i found it thank you
so theres no bells that u get gifts from ... etc?
im looking at a 2010 guide rip
2010? Wouldnt that be a guide for ff11? Lmao
2010 was for xiv only it was the first version 1.0 not rly the game we have now
where is the seasonal vendor ?

Old Gridania ( 10.7 , 8.7 ) you mean that?
where i can get the snowball emote
oh then idk sorry if you found out pls tell me :<
👍 thanks for the help
That's throw from coerthas
It throws snowballs if you're in snow
i just bought a phial of `phantasia where do i claim it?
Drink it
And something(?) when you’re not
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Toss_Fit_Workout do this side quest to unlock /throw
that and minnion only ?
But remember server strain
delivery moogel??
thats what we got ?
Anyone farmed heavensward relics?
It's not part of the event, it's from a 
wait which moogle?
Yes, you need more poetics
Any mail moogle, mogstation told you to allow up to 10 business days
Because MASSIVE server strain
It shouldn't take that long, that's mostly just covering their ass
Im doing the alexanders for precisions, it feels alot faster that way
It’s not
thats what i know
Blue Tokens are the best method
Do you know specifically how many crystal sand and umbrite i need?
60
For both?
60 - 80
Oh god lol
They updated it
u prob need 72 average
K ty
It’s 60
oh, change in 6.0 ?
This is why we read patch notes, it affects all of us
i'm a yugioh player, reading is hard
Lol
any changes to book step for ARR relic ?
Nope, and there probably will never be
i swear that is one of the torture method they use in Guantanamo bay
This is why you come back at lvl cap, ARR relic is the worst
So that's why no one knows what pot of greed does
level cap doesn't change book step at all
since fate still sync ur level
i think I took 9 day to finish the book step for my ninja relic
i dont have the throw emote And the quest Toss Fit Workout is not there
!quest toss fit workout

Thanks
doesn't really matter if you do it at cap or at 50,
running sastasha 20+ times for light, doing fates for atma, etc. are just as easy at 50.
Well your first mistake is sunning sastasha instead of tam tara
depends on which has bonus at the time
should I use Materia during leveling?
as tank?
Anything red
you can ignore materia for the time being,
but if you have spiritbond at 100% you may wanna still extract materia even if you just sell it.
it'll become more relevant at level cap
mhm a heal just told me i should socket tenacity to reduce dmg taken in duty :/
anyone know when kujata server will be aable to create new character?
That heal is is very very wrong
Det does the same thing and is still probably better than ten
the 2 damage points you'll take less won't be the deciding factor for dungeons
I wouldn't even bother with materia except as a free trial player it's the only way to get level III materia which is needed for some DoH quests (except a couple of quests)
here's a dumb question:
does gear get synced to the same stats regardless of rarity,
or would a green item have less synced stats as a blue/purple?
Where to exchange white gatheres scrip?
Relics have extra substats
mhm what is the deciding factor for less dmg taken? I noticed a significant jump from holminster to Dohn megh
like double the amount
Hey, i want to ask I reach a point in the game where if I want to progress i have to learn Eden savage and all the other hard raids. But when I check out YouTube on the guides they’re so hard. I guess I want to ask are you guys going through the same as me? The only other things I can do is level up other classes and collect tombstones
Item level is the only deciding factor.
Savages are optional
A green i530 chestpiece will have the same amount of stats as a blue/white i530 chestpiece, assuming they’re HQ if they’re a crafted item.
kk, was wondering cuz ilv. 533 gray are almost equal in unsynced stats as 490 blue.
so I was wondering if the 533 would have equal stats if synced to 490 or if it was getting worse.
Where to exchange white gatheres scrip? For lvl 78+ equipments?
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Just unlock the eulmore shit first
Thanks!
Which map had lvl 81~ fates? Thavnair?
Thavnair/Labyrinthos
Either of the first 2 zones
Oops wrong reply
Aight thanks!
is it back the mass dc or just me ?
I haven’t noticed anyone DC’ing on Aether/Siren
How do I put orchestrion rolls into the FC list?
even on eu
it uses your orchestrion list.
so you need to unlock it to add it
random dc shit
You also need rank permission to edit the FC orchestrion playlist.
I have perms, I just dont want to waste it on myself if I have to attach it to the FC or something
also theres new lvl 90 raids in EW so those will be receiving the most attention for the time being. new raids means new gear for high-end players
I'm fine on omega/chaos
there's no fc orchestrion list, to put your mind at ease.
imo throw the orchestrion at your fc's orchestrion collector if you'd think it wasted on yourself.
So if I can edit the playlist to add the songs, everyone can hear them - so long as I have "redeemed" the song myself and have playlist edit perms, correct?
yep
it was added in endwalker, you'll have to use a male hyur
make a male midlander hyur or fanta into one?
I am a male hyur midlander
do u kinda just stop doing hunt logs after u hit 15?
Where is this face option
the xp seems meh once u have duties
Do i need to fantasia?
what does this icon mean for gathering
You need to fantasia, yes.
Damnit
can only get it with a fanta a new created one since it uses a special face iirc
you'd do them for the achievement.
otherwise you can ignore them
Damn thanks anyways
hmm
so the starlight stuff only have the furniture and 2 minion?
Was browsing through the merchant and there's only the confetti. Do I need to do the Godbert repeatable quest as well?
570, 580 wep
How much of a different does 570 vs 580 give? Huge?
Significant, but all content can be done with like 550 gear right now
what does this icon mean?? along with the percentage, havent looked into the new gathering changes
HQ chance has now moved into "extra item chance"
ahhhh ty!! thought so it felt like it meant that
Where to get lvl 75+ miner equipment? Or where can we exchange scrip for it?
unlock for 90 scrip stuff (no accessories) is in ||radz-at-han||
How about 75+?
buy from vendors, e.g. in old sh
Ah thanks
oh
I thought lvl 70-80 in ShB😆
I'm dumb
mb, I read it as 85+...
try ||Crystarium|| and ||eulmore|| for 70-80
when i talk to my Serpent Personnel Officer no window pops up for what i need to do next? Anyone know what im doing wrong
Found one in eulmore but it seems there’s no lvl 75+ equipments
Current healer bis food?
Ania in the ||Crystarium|| has 71 / 76 accessories.
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/shop/c28cfe1195f/?type=gil
Doddard has 71/76 gear
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/shop/339d21dbd78/?type=gil
Vernarth has 71/76 main/secondary tools
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/shop/1118534a608/?type=gil
Probably either Sykon Salad if you need Spell Speed, or Sykon Bavarois for pure damage
||guys is there an easy "braintrick" for the phase with the snakes in ex zodiark ?|| i know what to do it is just it takes me too long to figure it out
is there a way to do alternative emotes somehow?
f.e. Female Victory as a male character?
Nope
no, sadly
ah rip
Thanks
If you visit another world server, do you get exp boost from your FC in dungeons?
In terms of dealing with them when they’re out with the birds that do the donut AoE, they cut precisely through half the bird.
Maybe a bit spoiler but this is the new one right? ||Regional Folklore Trader's Token C|| it is placed in lv 90 category lol
Besides that specific part, I give them a wide berth and not try to be greedy since their AoE is fairly bigger than what you might think.
||yeah i know the mechanics. it is just i have to think too long about it. for example i figured out for the beast and bird phase that i want a bird in my butt. as stupid as it sounds. so arrows coming from left and i want the bird coming in my back.||
Where can I find the most active "Lamia" Discord Server?
See if anyone has a link to one in #retired-na-datacenters
Server-specific discords aren’t really a thing anymore.

How do people craft 99x HQ potions? Is there a way to make autosythesis guaranteed HQ or do I have to craft 99x by hand
Have to craft by hand to ensure HQ
press a macro, alt tab, wait for ding, press a macro etc, with macros usually taking 30secs, that'd take about 15mins
wait is the ingame weather just perm snowing now?
Only for the main starting cities
what is this, apparently it's a player 🤣
Mount
seriously? Holy balls. I need it
It's an EW mount.
hey i have a question about buying expansions
i bought a complete edition in the past but just recently started playing, it seems like i have all expansions but endwalker
now it says i cn buy endwalker for 35€ which includes previous expansions, which i dont need.. can i not just pay for endwalker?
Nope
well thats kinda dumb
since i am stil low level and play kind of slowly i could just get it later when its on sale maybe
or does buying endwalker now unlock anything for me on lower levels?
if u preordered, there was a xp earring for up to 80
old expansions are bundled for free in the newest so you only pay for endwalker anyway
Nothing until 70
what grand company rank do you need to be to accept level 40 grand company leves?
you are restricted to whatever expansion you own
youll have to read patch notes for specifics, as changes to older expansion content does happen
alright thanks everyone
i'll look into it again when i am on a higher level then
ok will do
dont know if its just me but 35 for one expansion while also payig 13€ per months seems kind of expensive tbh
also, dont view the endwalker purchase, as losing money because you dont need sb/shb
its fairly standard fare to give the previous expansions, basically "free" with new expansions, so new players can just buy one thing
wow has done this for over a decade now, and 40$ is normal, honestly im surprised the price hasn't gone up in recent years
though ff14 has the complete edition, the endwalker purchase, is more for "returning players"
(wow dropped the quality to compensate for price not going up)
i mean yeah i understand it makes sense, i was just a little unlucky with the timing
would i just bought everything today then it would have been cheaper, which confused me and isnt too great
yeah fair enough, always do ur research 😄
im waiting until i get to the end of HW before purchasing anything
Lol you can't buy today
They've stopped selling the gsme
ah yea, the game is blocked from sale by SE, because the servers are still overloaded, they can't afford to have more players on
true but you know what i mean lol, same applies to yeesterday or a week ago
until they are able to get their servers updated
They're at the limits of what can be done with software this is pretty much a hardware issue at this point
You can still buy the expansion
one would think they could upgrade their servers for all that money they are making
You just can’t buy the base/complete edition currently
yeah im well aware, trying to think and type while also playing POTD is hard 😛
Semiconductor shortages, they literally haven't been able to buy servers even at above market prices
Does anyone have a number for calling support? Because ive been kicked and then locked out of my account since yesterday
yeah you literally can't get ur hands on servers right now, its extremely difficuly, massive waiting lines
i dont really know what all the expansions are tbh, i guess i will know if i'm done with one? it makes sense buying the new one when you are done with old ones though
i heard its because of these god damn crypto miners and covid of course
Credits roll at the end of a base expansion and again at the end of the patch content
its a combination of a few things all happening at once
it is very obvious when one expansion ends and other starts, you play through all story linearly
Expansions have 2 credits to them
Like most issues where the term "armchair" is used as a derogatory adjective, the issue is more complicated than just one problem
crypto boom, covid, increase in PC gaming due to esports
Completing the leveling story and patch story
also the fact that it takes billions of dollars and 5 years to build a new silicon manufacturing plant, means trying to cater to big new demands, is a slooow process
ok cool thats good to know, i guess i have a lot of time then since i'm just getting started and probably not even halfway through my first story
It's about 2 years per expansion
If you own the base game you probably qualify for that upcoming 2 weeks of free game time
you mean it takes two years until another one comes out?
is it also 2 years worth of time playing though?= 😋
Expansions come every 2 years
yeah thats a nice gesture
Depends, I guess.
With content patches every 6-8 weeks over those 2 years
They gave a free week earlier in launch too
If you find something that you enjoy and it grips you, sure it's worth. But don't play the game just to make the money you put in worth over the 2 years.
So napkin math puts this at around let's say 60 million usd of game time given away
thats a good mindset to have, otherwise you will burn out quick and lose all the fun.
i dont think that will be an issue because i basically paid monthly without even playing for 2 3 months lol
There's revised manuals
There isn't an Endwalker manual yet use the ShB ones
but it doesnt matter coz xp gain is all the same, its just xp capacity
Scrips.
But dont bother
unless you're below level 80 in that field
The % xp gained is the same across
its just capacity, so you can use like 3 commercial 1s
and the xp gain is stil the same as a revised.
They all give 150%
just the maximum is different
Anyone know where to start crafting?
What ever you can easily get your hands on.
At any crafting guild
Crafting guilds??
Yes
