There's weaver, goldsmith and alchemist in uldah, Culinarian, blacksmith and armorer in limsa and leatherwork and carpenter in gridania
Yes and you don't have to but it might not hurt considering how much the job changed, also start at arcanist if you do
oh, I have smn maxed, cause sch
was wondering if watching the cutscenes would have been enough, or I should ng+
Ng+
Cuz cutscenes are story, not mechanical tutorials
Which is what you'll actually want
How do I find aether currents affect n Endwalker areas without the compass?
With the compass
the compass still exists, just moved to the collections tab
It's in your collection
duty -> collection
Hover over the compass icon on hotbars if you left it there
is it a consideration for SAM to not overuse movement abilities so you lose out on upgrading your damaging strikes for that kenki? or does it not matter
it is a consideration, yeah
spending kenki on movement stuff can be a dps loss, especially if walking would have also resulted in not losing any gcds
interesting, none of the other jobs have to pay for their movement tech
warrior used to, but yeah
On Sage, if I stack two mobs with Eukrasian Dosis, does Kardion heal double then? Anyone know if it stacks?
isn't the kardion heal only on the application of euk dosis?
It only heals.on cast
would be very overpowered if it procced every dot tick
your kardion heals are basically 'oh you spent a GCD? here's a small heal'
Oooh, I thought it was a HoT

spent a GCD attacking stuff*
Hey, so i want to go back to FFXIV to play Endwalker, but my version is on Steam, do you think that it'll be on promotion on winter sale?
No
Doubt it
absolutely not
I see, thanks! Very helpful to know actually
nope only released like a week ago
the servers are melting as is, there is zero reason to discount it
Sage is cool and all, but SCH looking real hot.
Hello Just completed the tutorial(lvl50) what should I focus on now?
same, love the sage for the lazor but i still need my regen uptime from my ast lol
Continue the story, pick up jobs, whatever u want.
This wasn't the tutorial this was the base game
^
i'm like 90% certain, but Hissatsu: Kaiten doesn't increase the potency of Higanbana DoT, right?
same as before, main story
Thx for the advice
wait Alphinaud is an arcanist(ARR). What's he using as a weapon?
;_;
a book
is brd damage really that low, i mean it has support so the dps is more on the low side probably? but to the point tank leave because both dps are brd? cmon now
!faq meta
doesn't look like a book to me
it is a book
it's a special book
if you want to know why the book is that way, i recommend playing the Coils of Bahamut raid once you finish 2.0
the book has wing
I have and I will, ...eventually
RE: low DPS: there's no such thing as a 'support' DPS in this game, it just happens to have skills and abilities that provide passive buffs
the most RDPS heavy DPS is still required to deal a decent chunk of personal damage
you aren't actively buffing players, you at most have a skill which lets you pick a target or give a party wide buff
the best case of this example is Dancer
yeah i know, it just mentality of people i guess, when they heard bard they probably already confirmed our class as "low dps" or something zzz
Standard step buffs one party member, Technical Step buffs all party members
if your tank actually left because of 2 bards they're stupid
I find it highly unlikely that's the reason unless they explicitly said so
you want to know why? the tank said "sorry, with you two, this going to take too long, at least you guys arent dnc though"
and he just leave, just like that
what dungeon was this
judging from his words, high chance its the mentality, when "gamer" heard D P S they probably expecting something cool like samurai, reaper or monk
not bard or dancer (since he also said dancer lmao)
is there a way to remove the warning/check button ?
Yes yes take your assumptions to #rants
yeah sorry
The temporary suspension of free trial won't affect users who've already created a character right?
it shouldn't
nah its only signing up for a new FFXIV service account
ah thx, got worried for a sec
on another note is using squadron to do command missions worth it?
No but getting into the game for free trial is still an absolute shit show
And there's nothing you can do about it
its says they are suspending new free trial registrations, soo current free trial players are unaffected
it's a decent way to level sub-60 jobs especially if you can get their 'stances' leveled since their level sync is completely wack
They can't buy the game lol
yeah, soo im stuck playing free content 😄
for now
before ShB in a dungeon where i had 2k health they had like 10k
Do 10 of them to unlock some emotes
eh i live a little further off the server so I get to play as long as im not too late in the day
anyone ?
though my hours, are a bit off from peak, so i usually can login, but not if i try later in the afternoon
for loot grinding soloing is better then?
yes, if you want to grab the sightseeing logs in the cities that rely on different weather you'll need to wait until new year
can i get lvl70 bluemage weapon without beating dirty rotten azulmagia?
anyway, real question now, about apex arrow, it said that "potency increases up to 500 as soul voice gauge exceeds minimum cost"
how much is exactly the minimum cost? does the game ever verify this?
no, because BLU mage weapons are tied to quest progression
It only goes up to 60, its easier to solo
Lol no
or should i just fire it at 100 gauge?
rip i cant beat it
Salt
there's no reason to fire apex early
Look up a guide
Always fire 80 or higher for blast arrow
i know what to do but i cant see
Masked carnival is more puzzle than fight
it costs 1 to fire, so w/ 2 & 3 you get more potency
the storms is blocking my view
ill search for it thanks for the help
You need loom btw
i have
i teleport out of meteor
kewl
no no that one is pitch perfect, this one apex arrow the one with soul voice gauge
mb then
min cost for apex is 20 gauge
!action apex arrow
my view is getting blocked by the 4 storms
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100 to all enemies in a straight line before you.
Soul Voice Gauge Cost: 20
Potency increases up to 500 as Soul Voice Gauge exceeds minimum cost. Additional Effect: Grants Blast Arrow Ready upon execution while Soul Voice Gauge is 80 or higher
Duration: 10s
Consumes Soul Voice Gauge upon execution.
※Action changes to Blast Arrow while under the effect of Blast Arrow Ready.
Even says on the tooltip
Then change your camera controls
Cost: 20
i was thinking that if 80 gauge give me 500 and no more, i might just fire it early instead of just wait it until 100
unless at 100 it give me more potency
so 100 soul gauge will give it 500 pot total
100 is 500 potency
80 would be 400, not 500
oh
And scales linearly
so 50 gauge = 250 pot
20 is 100, 100 x 4...
For the 80 gauge its times 4
ah ok tq tq

and one last thing, dungeon from trust and dungeon from duty finder (without duty roulette) yield same exp right?
Yes
both give the same exp on boss kill
so it's more the DPS since Trusts take on average 30 minutes regardless of role
ah ok, sometime the queue take too long, though i just spam trust then
yes, but trust dungeon will both take longer, and not reward you w/ progress on the "tank you" achievos
oh didnt know that trust give less loot
it's less overall but guarenteed to go to you
But its all your loot
Say a dungeon chest would give boots and a necklace, you get just boots in a trust
1 per piece per chest all to you instead of 2 per chest spread across 4 people
So if u get like minions/orchestrion scrolls its guaranteed yours.
It does add up to more loot for you on average
Unless you're that poor fucker I met on expert who ran the level 90 10 times for no minion
ya but minion chance is so slim anyway it's inefficient to gun for w/ trusts :peeposad:
Hi i ran level 90 30 times no minion
it dropped and I rolled a 99
So glad im not that poor fucker.
is there a list of items available in the starlight event
Lodedtone
I have my trusts almost at 90... from holminster switch... trying to get the minion
the minions, that one housing item, and two confetti type items
its on event page, old event stuff arent given, but can be bought using irl money
Yeah I got that black hayate from holminster switch trust
Is there something up with the servers? I keep getting booted for no reason all of a sudden
Previous event items go on mogstation, but I don't think the snowman is up yet, probably cuz of all the server stress
Shits on fire
I was talking about this one
the other is definitely a book
Theyre both books
it's a special set of books
It's a matching set
that shet book is a potential spoiler
Just like their outfits lol
you learn why they're that way in the Coils of Bahamut
the white vertical line is a book bind thingie
If you want the real reason I can spoil it
the book is just very thin and tall and has wings
arcanist books often have weird shapes
no I just wanted to explain why it didn't look like a book to me
Because you didn't see it as a book
then why are you asking about it in questions and help
Bruh we can't explain why you didn't see it as a book
I did ask what it was then the other one got linked that actually looks like a book. Just explaining that it's this one that got me confused
i don't think alphy ever changed books
He did, ShB because of plot reasons
oh right
I don't count that but yeah alphi never changed books
Ali ended up hunting down the best old catboi and picking up a rapier
hi guys, did the subscription fee went up? i rmb entry was $5 a month, now it's $13
it was never 5 a month
It's never been 5 a month
It's been $13 since I joined
its been 13 since arr (i played in arr)
Unless you had the 1.0 vet discount
if you're taking advantage of regional pricing it's only if you pay via steam wallet
rlly? guess i'm losing my mind
Did you play 1.0 and have the discount from that?
no, i didnt play 1.0
Yeah, I've been playing since HW, and it's always been $13 for the Entry sub.
Is there a way to put relic in glamour dresser somehow? i want to use it in glamour plate
if I've bought the game and all the dlc except for ew, but haven't paid for a sub yet (30 days free), will I still get the extra 2 weeks?
Put a replica in onstead
yes
likely
Relics have custom sub stats which ban them from the glamour dresser cuz things would get fucky
I'm guessing they haven't given the 2 weeks away yet then
they'll be given on the 21st
alongside the maint
If I have the 30 day free play time from the complete edition on December 21, will I receive the bonus 14 day play time? Or is it only for paid subs?
This will apply to all players (including those with multiple accounts) who own the full version of the game and have an active subscription as of Tuesday, December 21, at 12:00 a.m. (PST), which is the scheduled release date for Patch 6.01.
what's replica?
Same appreance 0 stats
where can i get it
I want to say yes, but you'll have to contact Support for a definite answer
Buy from vendor near wherever the relic quests are
oh, ty
It'll depend on the relic
Is the game time given to all?
if you have an active subscription
@near rover
yeah i saw that, just don't know if the free time is considered an "active subscription"
I don't think so tbh
Hell yeah, not affected by queues and still get free game time
Since its not counted for veteran rewards
wouldn't we know from the previous 7 day game time bonus? anyone on complete/starter edition time want to confirm?
Probably missing the books
coz there are none in that area.
or missing books yeah.
a certain level 90 area doesnt have any quarrying.
For the BLM changes, are we using fire 2, then double-tapping flare still? Or are we now supposed to keep casting fire 2 until the end, then with the last sliver, cast flare?
2 fire 2, 2 flares, ice, repeat
@warm snow maybe you also know:
I have 4 tanks lvl 90 with the same armor gear. I have an icon for gear set list so i can change classes quicly. Is there some sort of macro when can i also put my glomour plate set to a job? To put it simple, i want to glamour automatically when switching a job.
Gotcha. Thanks!
you can tie gearsets to glamour plates
Right click your gear set
Also don't @ me
@kat
You can just ask chat as a whole
ABUSE OF AUTHORITY
Also, I don't see Enhanced Flare anywhere on the action/trait list. What is it (Because I see High Fire gives it).
Hover over the buff
it just buffs the potency of flare
!action fire ii
Deals fire damage with a potency of 100 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III or removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s
Astral Fire Bonus: Grants Enhanced Flare
Effect is canceled if Astral Fire ends.
Found it, ty.
Yeah, the tooltip just says "Grants Enhanced Flare" with no indication of what that is. I'll find a place to hit something with it to check the buff. But, thanks, all!
that's a timed node
Aaaand, no buff is showing up, or any indication that Flare is Enhanced flare at all
isnt that an unspoiled node and not a legendary folklore node.
can nuts and cracked clusters be used for anything other than buying materia ?
at the moment, no
Nuts have a mount in ShB, minions etc
Aaah. I need to use it twice! I see now.
Otherwise no
better check if you're on LT/ET/ST
where can i buy it
Hence, the the fire 2s, then flare.
You'll be able to buy tome gear augment items with nuts eventually
Vendors by hunt boards
For sync'd levels that I don't get enhanced flare, am I still putting out 2 fire 2s? Or just one?
Fire 2s til you run out of mp and need to switch back go ice
and clusters? will they ever have another purpose?
Gotcha. I was wondering, because I didn't seem to be doing so well with AoE in level-sync'd stuff. Though, I was dual-casting flare instead of fire 2s.
fire 2 and ice 2 being core parts of your rotation now feels weird alongside a ShB trait now being granted at level 1
but yeah you just chug MP > ice recharge > chug
Yeah, that threw me for a loop these days. "Wait, this stuff is not only useful but necessary now?!?!"
includes extreme ones?
I think they're trying to make jobs play similar at low and high levels, new smn is a shining example of this
Evidently no
But it does have dodo horns, they're just rare
There's a list on reddit
Thank the twelve. Being level-sync'd as a BLM may be a bit less painful these days.
oh ok, thanks
just wait 5 minutes /s
How do I get those stripes; are they makeup cuz I can’t see them there???
they're face paint
Seekers of sun only?
try checking the aesthetician
I think so
is this long or short
they are only on one face on seeker of the sun miqote i believe
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
keeper of the moon have slightly different ones
we can't tell you because congestion is wack
That's also handled by the login and instance servers
you can't pick a target destination in the character select screen
no, it will randomly put you in another world if yours is full if you ask it to, but you can't choose a server from login screen
Shits too unstable atm
aw can i cancel this world visit then
Yes click world visit
click World Visit > withdraw
click on it, then hit withdraw/cancel
oh thanks
How can I check the internet for aesthetician options
I’m not lvl 15 yet lol just focused on fishing
It says makeup but no options so is there no exclusive ones??
where do you go to add endwalker code on mogstation?
So with the current post from the dev team, is it only the starter and collectors editions being unavailable ? Or is Endwalker going to also be unavailable to buy
The add expansion code button
Lol ^
you can still purchase endwalker iirc
You can buy dlc, you can upgrade to collectors editions, you can't buy the game, you can't upgrade from free trial
Oh ok, thank you!
Screenshot your mogstation
Anyone a cat girl here???
Not me
#Catboi4lyfe
is it a good idea to trade in any quest/dunj gear that isnt for your class and isnt endgame gear (lvl90)
.... Read the bottom left button for me?
Lol
#hasdignity
...for gc seals
enter item code?
i meant trading them in for gc seals
Typo, left
anyone has done "true carrot crimes" quest for aether current yet? im kind of stuck, been going around and interacts with 4-5 carrots but its all wrong?
?
i tried code there, gave me an error
Where did you buy the code from and where Di you buy the base game from?
steam
You used the code from the link provided in the email, right?
Needs context not u btw
like so, but dunno where to apply
The Endwalker standard edition code goes in there
there should a npc/enemy robot somewhere which you need to talk to and then fight sadly don't have the pos at hand
Pre purchase goes in as item code
ok, i'll try again
is it currently normal to constantly get 90002/90006 errors?
i see, thanks for that!
same error
do you use a vpn if yeah turn it off
oh, ok
Anyone else get this when waiting for a duty?
so uh, should i trade in for gc seals any quest/dunj gear, that isnt for my job, and isnt endgame?
If someone has a licence for ARR and Heavensward on PS4, and buys the complete edition on PC. Will they be able to use their PS4 characters on PC? (asking for a friend that wants to get back into the game on PC)
if he adds the pc license to his old account yes
that works, 
So he will be able to get through stormblood, shadowbringers and endwalker using his PS4 character even though he only has Heavensward on PS4, correct? 
Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to the game and I've been enjoying leveling the crafting and gathering jobs. I, uh ... I have to admit I have not realized there was a second tab when crafting stuff, which apparently lets you craft furniture. So far I've been leveling up mainly by crafting everything once. Is it worth crafting the furnitures once just for leveling?
Oh yeah, vpns set off fradualent activity shit
How do I access my loadstone bio?
Leves are better
If my Wondrous Tails says "Alphascave V4.0" I can't do the Savage one, right?
Yes
yes but only on pc if he want to play on ps4 later again he would haveto get endwalker for it also or change to a job that is in arr/hw
Furnitures require too much diverse materials.

How do I access to my lodestone bio/lodestone character profile?
from mogstation?
Oh right
I assume you wouldn't use Leves yet in the lower levels, would you? Considering they're time-gated, it's not an ideal way for someone who wants to omnicraft, right?
Leves are always a valid solution for crafters
Once you pass level 15 or so, go leve
are these minions and mounts that can be obtained through game play?
Yeah
Okay, I'll focus on Leves then for my crafters, thank you very much you two! 🙂
Can they be sold for any good amount?
Crafter can get to lvl 15 easily by just doing all the low level recipe once
They don't include extreme or savage mounts, at least based on data so far
Depends on your luck
Cool
Honestly speaking, i doubt it. GC seals are easy to get
I mean like where in mog?
Yeah, that's what I've been doing so far. I now have pretty much all of them on or over level 20 just by doing that (and crafting the raw mats for them, of course)
This new interface is confusing me
The dodo horn and night pegaus are in those loot boxes, and those can sell for 10 Mill a piece
for me, you click your name on the top right
then you click on your character
But again, up to luck
yo which range dps can rez besides red mage? o.o
Copycat bulb from eureka is in there, another 10 Mill on market board item
SUM
Summoner
And the green dps
Everyone's a dps in ff14
Is there a Wondrous Tails faq here I can check out? Still some question marks and I'd rather not spam here.
cant wait for the yellow dps
!faq wondroustails
Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.
Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.
Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!
i know that bard rn is up there in ranking but how are summoners and red mage looking did the changes do them any favors?o.o i know that summoner got new summons and stuff but no clue about the numbers and stuff 😮
they're up there in popularity 🤷♀️
did it work?
Well shit, that explains only the first part which I get. I was curious about Retry and Shuffle and how to best make use of them.
Also there's apparently 9 max?
yes, 9 stamps max
So if I clear 9 entries I can skip the rest?
I'm playing healer for the first time, trying out astrologician in hall of novice. According to helios description it heals nearby allies too, I'm selecting them but they're not getting healed, what am I doing wrong?
And just shuffle between those?
Anything that "heals nearby" simlpy has t ostand close enough
No need to select them "too" so to speak
if you've cleared 9, you're done
you cant have any more stamps
you are also not allowed to shuffle after placing more than 7 stamps
So I was thinking about changing my appearance from a male miqo'te to a male viera and was wondering if the male viera preset I've made would fit the glamour I have for my male miqo'te. Is there a way to see how it will look before changing appearance in case I end up not liking the way it fits my new appearance?
Weird, I was standing right next to them and using it but they were not getting healed
NPCs in pre-shb instances don't get healed by party effects
You'll have to manually target them and use benefic
Ah ok, was thinking I'd clear ALL entries then start with the stamp stuff. That part would've been more annoying. Ok then I simply am done and can now shuffle stuff. Do I shuffle until I have a match and then hand it in?
if you've 9 on the board, no you cannot shuffle :l
so you may as well turn it in as is
I've only placed 1 so far
Was too afraid to fuck it up and even that one was accidental
oh, yeah man
place up to 7, commence shufflnig if thats what you want.. pray to the rng gods
So shuffle until I NEARLY have any of the above three lines then simply hope it works out?
pretty much
Yes
is there option menu to auto target an enemy when you press attack button?
say there is enemy standing next to me and i press quick nock (brd aoe attack), i want to auto target him or something like that
Cool, thanks!
no
aw ok, kinda annoyed me i need to retarget new enemy when i spam my aoe
is there any exclusive makeup to the aestheican
you cannot get a third with this i believe
wdym exclusive
Is there a dicsord for letting each other know when a rare fate or something is active?
or network
Centurio Hunts is a server agnostic discord
This I can’t find it in character creation either clan
Technically unlocked hair styles for example can onyl be applied by aesthetician. Not even fantasia helps there
It's not makeup that's a racial marking iirc
That's the racial markings plus the cheek facepaint
to change it you would need a fantasia
i have 1
u dont need the fantasia to get the cheek facepaint ;v
True
You're cute w/o the fantasia
i have it looking like this
yep but the colours different
There's facepaint over the stripes
Wait how often can you do Wondrous Tails? Just handed it in and got a new one again. Not complaining the EXP is decent
every week
like one a week
they put blush over the stripes, thats it
Once a week, can hold up to 2 weeks
i think the blush color is just exaggerated with shaders and such, idk
i did
Oh I see thanks, then must've handed it from last week. Tusday reset for these as well=?
that picture is likely post processed, either with shaders or in some image editor
yup weekly resets are all tuesday
can you make a setting so that game only uses TP tickets over a certain amount of gil needed for the tp?
nice that was a fast image edit
yes, cog icon on teleport menu
Yes, press the gear in the top right corner of the teleport menu
Wait a minute, this new one I only have 1 Second Chance point? Wtf? They don't reset? ;_;
what menu again
The teleport menu
you can find it in actions if you removed it
yes
The teleport menu you see when you actually use the teleport skill
look for "Teleport"
what is?
how many free destinations can you have?
the allovance, but yeah i figured it out sorry
1 free
Never did
You need to do duties to get em again
how come I'm lv. 57 with inner beast mastery unlocked, but fell cleave is greyed out?
job quests
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
Controversial I think but is miqo’te voice 5 the highest pitch/best?
Don't use 5
It's incredibly loud in game
Ok but isn’t that good my teammates know I’m ded?
No.
Literally anything else
Other then 5 as u think it’s loud
Any is fine, it's just miqo 5 and male viera 4 are horrible to have on the team
Ok highest pitch?
Listen to them yourself
listen to them???, i dunno, i just pick what i think sounds like it suits my character, and doesn't annoy me
The one with the most "ara ara" vibes
I picked the lowest pitch possible
2 sounds like she's saying nyaaaa!, when shes angry
pick that one. That is without any objection the best one, those who say otherwise a Ishgardian Heretics
Hehehe
Sigh, go to #general-discussion already
Sorry didn’t know that was a place lol
does overleveling matter when doing the MSQ? I just hit 25 but i also just unlocked the copperbell mines duty
No
They synced you down for a lot of MSQ encounters. You will get an edge when fighting overworld purple areas tho
dont the fates scale you down too?
Note FATES
you know the purple circle encounters where they spawns stuff when you enter it?
yeah
these dont sync you
Fates sync you if you're over their levels
oh are those not the same as fates? the only purple areas ive seen are fates
FATEs are blue. I mean Purple
Ah ah ok
But you know what I mean right? How to best describe it?
Story mission spawns
You should be able to get to every person without flight when doing quest. I dont think there's an instance where you cant
question, why aren't ivalice and nier raids in my ng+? I finished them, am I missing something?
Ivalice has some yellow quests in the ship, nier has the 6 week of weeklies to do
ah, shit
Is Pandemonium gonna be like Potd for 80-90 exp farm?
no it's the 90 raid like alexander, omega
It's the Eden equiliant
Pain.... Leveling jobs is hell now. And no end in sight
is there a way to make other player's effect less flashy?
Yes, in the settings you can turn off effects
not really.
you don't need to be omni 90 week 3.
Does it limit the number of effects or limit how flashy each effect is?
Example, does it make a RDM LB3 less obnoxious?
do returning players get an xp bonus or just the novice network and a symbol?
is advanced melding always forbidden when new expansion launches?
Only crafted gear can be overmelded/advanced melded
Raid/tomestone/trial gear can only use the slots visible on the item.
Does anyone have a list of the zones by level? Like what level is optimal for fate grinding in each zone?
how do I go to tailfeather, for the marauder job quest? the path from ishgard seems to be locked
I guess I'm overleveled
some exceptions exist. you can enter dravanian forelands as you unlock western highlands
Have the 7 days been given out yet?
i see it now i assumed it was purple for some reason
pretty sure they have
another 14 on the way next week as far as I read the announcement
Yeah but usually those are super easy anyways
What he's referring to are the smoky purple circles or smoky purple interaction spots that cause mobs to spawn when you go into/interact with them for quests. Those you're not scaled down for.
I started playing on release and I only got 21 days, is there something up?
I got the complete edition
we will be granting 7 days of free game time to all players who own the full version of the game and have an active subscription. This also includes players who are currently playing on the 30-day free play period included when registering the full version of the game and those with multiple accounts.
Since I'm playing on the 30 days given with the complete edition, wouldn't I fall into the last sentence?
Are you paying an active subscription

The 30 days that come w complete edition dont count as subscription. it's free game time.
Just the month
early access release or actual official release?
Isn't that wording kinda cruel? I figured I was in an active sub and had no idea I was meant to buy more game time
"Customers who purchase either the starter edition or the complete edition will be granted a 30-day free play period"
It's not a subscription.
well, you can still get the 14 extra days if you sub by next week
& if you reach lv. 30 you get another few extra free days
But they specify that people on the 30 days get it
The 30 day free play doesnt count toward veteran rewards either
do you know by what day?
21st was named on the announcement iirc
aside from the roulette, which pvp give the most wolf mark?
I'm coming from ps4, I figured I didn't need to sub especially with the servers already not functioning so paying now when I'm already on a free month didn't make sense
Sec I think i need others to answer that question, coz it says that "during the official release of Endwalker on December 7, we will be granting 7 days of free game time to all players who own the full version of the game and have an active subscription. This also includes players who are currently playing on the 30-day free play period included when registering the full version of the game and those with multiple accounts."
well seems like we got until tuesday to get the money for an additonal 21+ days
Yes...that's why they quoted that
Which would mean that the free game time is 7 - 14 December and has ended
or am i missing smth
according to the way it's worded
I mean I get that "technically" the 30 days aren't a premium sub but you gotta understand the wording kinda sucks there
you'd just get 7 days added to your account as free game time if you have a sub - even if you're currently on your free game time.
I mean I could barely play as well and I won't get those days back
If I sub now will I just get the 14 or the 21?
It's possible that depending on when you registered the game you just missed out on it on the 7th?
14
wait how many free days did they give in total
21
21, 7 earlier this month, 14 more next week
Oh the extra 14 was the notice today.
Ye, along with them not selling the game anymore and stuff
I mean cutting losses I guess. But losing 7 days which I barely had access to sucks
But this one doesn't say for free play time
I almost don't wanna sub out of principle but whatever the game is good
is it possible to get bunny boys as squadron members now?
Nah man u should have gotten the 7 days from EW release
cant even get hroth or fem viera as sqd members

It's just weird how they specify 30 day players get it too, but don't specify that you need to have the 30 days and an extra sub on top like that's kinda ridiculous
lala + kitty team it is I guess
Okay yeah the 30 don't trigger vet rewards and etc etc but no new player is gonna know that
Anyone have any ideas as to how long they will make the game unavailable to purchase?
I actually dont know if they even added the 7 days of playtime.
full roe
if i sub now will the vet rewards start now or after the free 30 is up?
These temporary suspensions will be phased in over the next few days as we work with our retail partners. We will be coordinating with them as swiftly as possible, but please bear in mind that this will be a gradual process.
You don't become eligible for veteran rewards until after the 30 days are up.
You sure?
veteran rewards are added as soon as money flows.
^ that's what I thought. It's how it always works?
I'm pretty sure, yeah. Because the 30 days don't count as a "subscription"
if you buy a 180d sub you get all rewards up to 180
Wrong
Yeah but you bought the subscription and it's already added
Iirc vet subs trigger straight away but I could be wrong
But it doesn't actually charge you until after the 30 days
They just don't count towards the rewards
Wrong agaib
The vet rewards are kinda a prepaid reward thing.
Any purchased game time counts towards vet rewards immediately
tbh they should add more vet rewards.
Hmm, wow. Is it too optimistic to hope for availability by Christmas?
Probably, yes.
I think I get Aura's point because subs would renew after game time ends which means it'd take 30 days for the sub to actually happen but there are ways to get game time immediately
Yeah, crazy man. Thanks for your thoughts
ayy, I'm planning to work through the nights from christmas to new years
never log off babyyyyy
should i hand in any gear thats not for my job for gc seals, thats not endgame gear
If you don't want it for glamour or for leveling other jobs, sure.
Ehhhh, I keep some at certain levels for when I eventually level those jobs
even if i plan to play that job (but not at the current moment)
how do you make space for everything tho
Retainers
^ except the level X1, X3 dungeons because the tomestone gear before that is better anyway
does ill mheg beast tribe only give 1k exp at lvl 80
That's up to you. Just remember that space is finite and you'll fill up eventually.
Probably because it's not meant to be good
I'm not sure if it's literally 1k but it'd be low
Pixies still give okay xp for leveling 70-80
Is it just me, or does MNK overall feels generally the same. You just get stickers along your normal rotation now?
It's not quite as good as it was during ShB, but it's about 1/5 - 1/4 of a level for three dailies.
Oh neat
It didn't get nerfed as hard as the crafting collectibles turn-in xp did.
It wasn't heavily reworked, only slightly. It's burst phase changed but gcd rotation stayed
For most jobs that's to be expected. The adjustments for EW were meant to be more of an evolution to play instead of a complete overhaul. SMN and SCH are the notable exceptions.
Yeah that’s how I’m feeling, but I have a lot of peeps telling me MNK is so confusing and complex now.
You just do a double Solar/rising phoenix opener
So you can get phantom rush under raid buffs
MNK has always been confusing and complex
whats the best way to farm wolf mark? frontline or rival wing?
Oh has it? The only thing was annoying is positional and short duration of TS for me.
Probably frontline
But thnxs
Nah. MNK has always been very straightforward.
Does the 14 dayplay time extention extend retainer time?
Front
Which expert dungeon has level 90 Bracelets and Rings of Fending?
they all drop the same stuff
Aaah, ok. I thought they had different loot tables
So help me figure out Materia for a sec
Is there any reason to use Level IX Materia if you have Level VIII Materia of the same type?
Level VIII Materia seem straight up better
9s are for overmelding
Prioritize perception or gathering in melds?
So for nornal melding use Level VIII if you don't have X, right?
Grade 8 and Grade 10 you cannot overmeld beyond one materia. Grade 9 you can overmeld beyond that.
For lvl 90
anyone have details on how the sands part of anima weapon got nerfed?
Also just so I know, Tomestone gear is currently BIS, correct?
they reduced how much you need for the sands to 60
Though I imagine that won't last long
oh, so instead of 60-75 its straight 60 now?
Retainers are level 90 with level 80 gear. Upgrade their gear to 90 or does it matter?
more likely its a range between something and 60
Until the 90 Savage/Ex gets released, yes.
rather than between 60-80
oh ok
thanks
cos there's still the bonus procs on the second half
Final q for now: when does the final boss EX usually release?
6.1
And Trial series?
usually starts .2, but may change
Upgrading gear gives better chances for better stuff and can decrease the time for targeted collecting.
Is there any Crystal Bozjan discord?
Thanks
https://www.akhmorning.com/allagan-studies/stats/ though i'm unsure if the stat squish/damage formula has made changes to these
Not in game at least
is the best way to level up alt jobs still just to do the daily roulettes right?
What is the best food for a lvl 90 reaper?
so should take it with a grain of salt for now
Depends on which level bracket you are
!faq altlvlguide
Iv 80-90 then yeah roulettes
daily roulette is only good for the daily bonus
Prior expansions also have beast tribe qyests which give good XP
As well as Heaven On High/Palace of the Dead
after that, should be doing highest lvl dungeon (That is not 50/60/70/80) or potd (15-60)/hoh (61-70)/bozja (71+)
i was uh planning to buy my friend more game time for ffxiv, he already plays; but is it possible to still buy him an extra month for christmas?
guys. i wonder how macro look like if i need to remind myself for action 180s cooldown ?
/ac "___"
/wait 60
/wait 60
/wait 60
???
afaik game time cards are still available for purchase
epic
its just the starter edition/complete edition that has been stopped for now
oh okay
my firend had just bought the game like 6-8 months back and we wanted to play together again
so i'm buying them more game time as a gift
What's the current SMN AOE rotation?
Hey guys!
So store got an update and now I dont know where can I buy a sub any helpers? ( sounds stupid but ye smol brain)
ok finally found it
Actually I'm struggling to buy a sub too re: 30 day player trying to get the 14 days
Can I post my service account status here?
how do u get red glowing reaper weapon
So I’ve done the main quest and I left all the blue ! But I done all the gold side quests along the way. I just thought I’d leave them til later or if I get a new job, when did everyone else do them and should I do them now or later on? Cause I don’t actually know what they are. I know some are for new jobs but some aren’t?
is there an option to not use rested exp?
i accidentally ate about half the rested exp i had for crafting
Probably the upgraded potd weapon for trading in aetherpool. It's been popular with reaper players
& if anyone can answer pls @ me !!!
They are for various things. Some unlock extra dungeons, trails, raids, etc. Some are for jobs/classes. Some are just for various other features.
!faq contentunlock
This covers a lot of them
@vivid plaza this kind of reward sheet?
@strange coral thank u ! Do you think it’s worth while I just continue dlc main quests and small side quests and when I get a new job go back and do them all for easy xp with a new job?
The small side quests with
don't give much exp and are not recommended for leveling. They're mostly there for extra story.
I mean just the blue ones ^^ I’ve done all the gold ones
any tips on getting past 41-50 potd i cant seem to find a party?
where do you get glamour for crafter and gatherer
You should do blue ones, except for ones that unlock jobs you don't care about, as they unlock more content and features. It's up to you which job you do them on. They usually won't give significant exp though.
It's not any different than glamour for battle jobs. You can use any gear that you can wear as a crafter as crafter glamour.
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
Just might have to wait till later in the day when more people are on
Ahhhh okay thank u so much!! The game can b rlly confusing lol !
is it necessary to level up atleast one class in each category to 70 for me to continue ShB?
Guys is there no way to be on an "active sub" as long as you're using the 30 days that come with the base game?
No. You only need to complete one role quest line in ShB.
Even if I sub right now, it doesn't take payment until a month later which means I won't be able to qualify for the 14 days they're giving
Is it worth it doing dr trials for the xp?
Or is it better justget the aphorism?
You know you can just buy game time
That's what an active sub is, having enough game time to play
That's a subscription, just buy game timr
oki doki thanks 
That's up to you and what you're prioritizing. The daily bonus for trail roulette doesn't give much xp though.
I'm seeing people wearing Starlight Robes from the seasonal quest in 2016, does this mean I'll never be able to get it or will they rerun the quest at some point this xmas?
The starlight robe is on the item store, so it's very unlikely to be coming back in a future event
mogstation for cash
im a level 33 warrior with an item level average of 24. i have this chestplate that gives 107 defense but is also level 25. is it still worth wearing things with lower item level but higher stats? (strength, vitality etc)
Am I correct in assuming that after the weekly limited tomestones will drop, roulettes will drop Tomestones of Aphorism?
Previous event shit goes on the paid store
Means we get new shit every year
A small price to pay for salvation
Does someone know why the macro icon doesn't change? Pretty sure the chocobo icon always worked before
You need quoations
Mount name in ""
For multiple word stuff
It's thinking its looking for an icon called company that's a chocobo
And as a result breaking
if anyone could help i would appreciate it. i feel like im doing something wrong
Generally item level is better
If i do Fenrir it works as an example never used '' before
Some roulettes will give one type, some will give both
That's because fenrir is one word
Ah! okay that makes sense ill try it out tysm
It.will be like how it was in endwalker, with allegory and revelation tomes... Just with new tomes
So I started as a white mage but lots of armour and quests need disciple of the hand? What is that and how do I get it?
Crafter
Oh okay
omicron existed before covid my dude
Pretty sure they have been working on Endwalker before Covid even started...
im pretty sure he was joking lol, i was thinking that as well the first time i saw it
If you're unsure, press the "Equip Reccomended Gear" button on your character window
9 times out of 10 it will give you the best of what you currently have
delete it, location spoiler 👍
What to spend allagan tomestones on if not armor?
!faq poetics
Poetics
tl;dr
Relics, materials people might want
can also get a few orchestrion rolls I guess lol
what to buy for gil?
Asking a question about !faq undersizedparty. Inside it says forfeit exp and completion rewards.
Can I ask what sort of completion rewards are we looking at? To my knowledge only exp and spiritbond is forfeited
i cant hear my any note from my bard when playing does anyone know whats the problem?
@gray crescent check your sound setting. Not sure if it affects your own but, check Performance is not muted or 0
what does achievements count as a high level duty again
tomestones are also not given out when completing it undersized, barring first timer bonus
Ah tomestones. That's fine. I was thinking it referred to e.g. books from savage cause I do get them
should i restart?my client?
Best way to farm light for the born again anima stage?
why is it that rescue sometimes miss?
@gray crescent check the icon isn't sctuslly slashed (muted)
They're not in combat or anti knockback used
so both me the and person I'm pulling need to be in combat?
where i can send bugs when texts are not correct translated?
You can make a report on the official forums in the bug reports subject.
However do be aware that translation "errors" aren't always errors. They may have been deliberate choices.
You need to be in combat to use rescue, if arms length has been used by your target, rescue won't work
Could I get this relic weapon in one day. I’m on animated. I believe the one after dusk vigil so the avery I think. I just wanna know is this something fast you can get
Yeah. You could get it. It's not fast, but you could get it.
Relic weapons are always a significant grind though.
They did recently make anima weapons slightly easier to get, at least
If you're only on anima maybe not in one day though. I forget how many steps along the way Lux is from Anima.
What did they change
Ok is it me or does Living dead suck
Oh wait, if you're only on the first version (Animated) and want to get to Lux (the final step) there is zero chance of getting it in one day.
I just looked because I couldn't remember the step order.
How can I use living dead correctly thx
IF you're going to take damage that would otherwise kill you, use it. Pray your healer notices and heals you within the 10s of Walking Dead status.
Don't use it unless you're in a party with a healer.
I did but the healer didn't heal me fully lol
Well, that's a healer problem then.
Idk I just feel like it doesn't work half the time even superbolide is better
They only need to heal you for 100% of your total HP, you don't necessarily have to be at full health though if you're still getting hit.
LD is the least popular of the tank invulns, yes.
Oh I thought it had to be full heal
!action living dead
Grants the effect of Living Dead. When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s
100% value of your HP. Not full heal. WHM Benediction is best for that.
See it says 100% I thought "How is that possible when I'm still getting hit"
But at least its not that
So if you have 100000 HP, then the healer needs to heal 100000 HP.
Ok thanks
Anyone know the best way to farm light for the anima solo in born again anima? id like to do the alexander mission but im sure no one plays that anymore
Alexander? People still do that.
is endwalkers required to get access to the 2 new jobs?
Yes
Someone know why it still doesnt display the image of the Chocobo?
in particular i need a9s, but no ones doing that in party finder or duty finder, is there a discord for finding people for that?
You can always make your own party.

Hi there, so I have a question: I’m considering playing FFXIV in the future, but I’m confused about the subscriptions. I understand that there’s a 180 day, 90 day, and 30 day subscription, but you have to pay per month for each? Is it every month or every month that the total days run out? I’ve never played a subscription-based game like this so I’m just confused lmao.
!faq sub
!faq subprice
If you buy a 180 day subscription, you pay once every 6 months (180 days. If you buy a 90 day, you pay once every 3 months. Etc.
got it. Thank y’all so much!
anyone knows how I download stuff in GitHub ?
Hey. Anyone else having the issues that whenever Headphones are connected/Disconnected Final Fantasy closes
yeah
There's a $13/$15 one for 30 days. Entry is $13. Standard is $15. Difference is the number of characters you can create per server and account.
when u change ur audio output it instantly causes some directx11 crash shit for me
That's fine I was just worried cause I'm gonna be moving soon and won't have the dough for it and I got worried cause I'm really enjoying the hell out of this game
Click on Raw and save the page as an ini file. Or go to the root, GShade-Presets, and click Code -> Download Zip to download everything.
Glad i'm not the only one. I'm hoping they patch this issue eventually too. But I haven't seen a lot of complaints about it
Then when there's alot of mobs, my BGM starts stuttering
You'll be fine then. The Entry sub ($13/mo) is 1 character per server up to 8 characters total, so as long as you fall into that category you can drop to the Entry monthly sub and be set.
Honestly all of these might be grpahics card issues, because i disabled my NVIDA graphics driver so that the fan doesn't run.
Alrighty good haha scared my soul out 😂
Standard sub is "tell me you're an altaholic without telling me you're an altaholic"
BTN/MIN. is the fastest 80-90 route with colelctibles? or leves
is bozja better than dungeons? specifically 80-90
leves. Pentamelded aesthete struggles to get perfect stats for collectables.
is there a matchmaking discord? like to find parties for certain events or bosses and stuff
didnt have much issue with pentamelded aesthete on collectables
use pf in game
u get like 95% success chance, not-400 collectbility
its disgoostang


only time i had 95% was on the 90 nodes
Search for your data centers raiding discord. I know aether has one. Not sure about other and how active they are
everything else was pretty easy breezy
my full pentameld fc leader didn't have any issues with it
but even then, it was perfectly fine for 90 nodes
Unacceptable
Old gridania
not a nice big rounded number
that's not struggling though
you can do collectables just fine in pentamelded aesthete for 80-90
Perspective
if im only overcapped by my materia by 1 stat is it still worth it to use if its my bis stat?
I dont like having 15% on the careful collectibility up (whatever that skill is called)
Again, that is still not struggling to do collectables
You can do collectables just fine with pentamelded aesthete, saying otherwise is false
ty i gota check this out i didnt realize the brayflox thing would literally take more than like 2 hours to do thats insane, 4 runs isnt even a single rune
only the 1 over cap wont count, the rest still works, the red name on the materia is confusing
sure, i already said its a perspective thing.
Same way i could say bard dps struggles to keep up and you could say !meta
There is a big difference between struggling to max out collectability by barely meeting the stats and just barely getting max collectability/collection rate
pentamelded aesthete can still get max collectability in like 3/4hits
red stack marker means both tanks stack
ah, i see
There's lots of markers that are red
Weird red square marker means tankbuster that non tanks want to go away from.
it's not a universal mark, i only saw it this expansion
eh the new one
it's not new
oh its not?
Nope
Lol no
it's been in every level of content for an eternity
they really should go back through old bosses and apply new marks there
lol weird ive never seen it up until endwalker
The red tank stack marker is in emerald normal for example
i've not seen red stack marker before endwalker
And Nier raids
There are three types of tankbuster markers.
A red spiral is a single tank circle aoe buster.
A red spiral with a square around it is a beam tankbuster.
A red arrow with two rotating orbs is a shared tankbuster.
Can you still buy endwalker this time around ? ive only heard news of complete/starter edition being unavailable for purchase but not endwalker (yet)
thats really useful, thanks a lot!
Yes, you can still purchase Endwalker
for existing players yes you can
and really sorry guys! didnt realise it was already in the game lol
pog!! was planning on playing it for the christmas time
Red circle busters aren't always aoe
The only one that is actually new this expansion is the shared buster marker.
The other two existed previously.
All dungeon bosses use the red circle buster and not all are aoe
Right, i see
oh by the way, does tall stack marker mean continuous stack like akh morn?
yes
Yes, that's new
Most important materia for Tanks and Melee DPS?
Is there a BiS list for Botanists at 90?
will depend on job
or is it just all scrip gear?
BiS is going to be crafted
crafted pentamelded is probably better
Let's say Gunbreaker and Reaper?
even lightly melded, it'll be better than scip gear
overmelded for 5 materia
penta- is five
does that cost a lot lol
if you don't have a stockpile of materia, yes
yes
i do not know personally, suggest going to "The Balance" discord server, they usually have FAQs for this kind of thing
Can you DM me an invite link if you can?
overmelding has a high failure rate so you're going to burn through a whole bunch of materia unless you are incredibly lucky
!faq balance
Using blues at 90 is plenty. Pentamelding is for if you're going to be farming botanist A LOT
well I wanna make some money off Botany, that's why i levelled it haha
and once I get some m oney from it then I've been told to level crafting and that's the real money maker
Everything makes money if you're not stupid
that's not an answer to his question gcbtw
i'm not stupid, but, i'm brand new to EW, 10 days played, I've only done ex trials stuff so far and I'm broke B)
saying brand new to Endwalker is a bit moot given we're all new to Endwalker
i would replace 'not stupid' with 'willing to bother to sell things'
my bda, i meant FF Lol
ya ignore that guy. scrips can be a money maker through collectables. crafting is kinda a meme to make money with as you essentially need all your crafters leveled
what are all the crafting jobs?
I made quite a bit of moolah just desynthing Endwalkeecdungeon gear lol
there is a list on your character screen
you have to level all those to 90 to start makng money? O.O
@pallid pawn There are different ways to make money with both. Check market boards for leve quest items. Sometimes it's better to craft and others it's better to gather.
ya and i wouldn't advise it personally
