I dont know what happened but Im glad I can craft it then
for some reason i cant queue lvl50/60/70/80 dung roulette on my løvl 50 DRK? ive gone throguhbt the requirements but still says "unable to register. two or more duty requirements unmet."
What level 50 dungeons do you have?
If I sell class armor, will I be able to buy it back?
Also, check your ilvl of your DRK and make sure it doesn't conflict with an ilvl requirement for a dungeon
Like Tantra armor for MNK lv.60
im i lvl 65 and have castrym meridianum the praetorium and the lost city of amdapor
Those first 2 don’t count
Yeah, you need to unlock a quota of optional expansion-end dungeons to actually access that roulette.
Yeah you need a lot more.
Yes, but for level 60 AF you have to buy it with Centurio Seals
yes, 50/70 is on calamity salvager. 60 can be rebought with centurio seals in ishgard. 80 is rebought fom grenoldt in the tempest, 90 from the vendor in sharalyan
thanks
Castrum and Prae are in their own roulette,
Prae and Castrum will not count. They're on MSQ roulette.
is there a list or something for the questlines to unlock the raids and dungs?
Just look for blue quests, there’s a couple in mor dhona
!faq contentunlock
ah ok ty ARR is lvl 50 ones right?
ah yeah i skipped most the blue one si didnt know bout
You still have post ARR to finish, just continue doing it and grab
along the way
do your blue quests
post ARR?
i mean im almsot done with stormblood so i gues si gotta do post havensward to
How do positionals work against bosses like EX1 in endwalker? Ur always facing his front right? (Asking cuz im a tank player and never had to worry abt this stuff)
you always do full damage basically, it's treated as both back + side for all positionals
A h
Jo, do you need to be lvl 50 to start the dark night quest?
yes, also need to have access to ishgard (the city of heavensward expansion)
so you need to play the Heavensward expansion to lvl 80?
Has anyone not been able to restart their sub? Friend of mine is trying to come back and it said something about a temp hold.
Heavensward expansion goes from level 50 to level 60
ahh okay, thx for the help
Yeah, you can't buy the game for now
I'm tryna run ff14 on my external drive ..is that possible ?...I have the installer on my hard drive but tries to install automatically onto my c drive
Due to the congestion issues
alright just picked up like 10 quests in Mor Dhona some of them say therye locked but id assume they unlokc after a bit bhut should i do those quests on my DRK since hes 50 and would actually get xp or just on my main job?
Not even adding game time?
you should be able to add game time
Can anyone confirm for me that the sub renewal is down rn?(For NA-Canadian servers) :O
Ah oops nvm
You should be able to add game time as far as I'm aware
Im not able to
its possible though that with current server issues, the process might be a bit congested
also should i just skip the leve quests? they seem pretty usless to me
Any good video guides on bard in endwalker that anyone know of?
that sucks.
Levequests aren't useful for levelling combat classes
all i heard is that they disabled free trials and they stopped selling the game for now.
what are leves for then?
leveling crafters/gatherers
Outside of the main story, most quests are not significant in terms of experience. The fastest way to level is to do dungeons.
ah ok il just ignore them for now and do all other blues i see
If you want to level then doing all blues isn't efficient
Ah
That shouldn’t be happening if you’re past ARR, as you said
idk my 50 drk couldnt queue :p
Item level
65
There’s your answer, get better gear
ive gone throguhbt the requirements but still says "unable to register. two or more duty requirements unmet."
keeper of the lake needs i90 to queue, snowcloak i80
ah ye only noone msq i did was job quests and the quests to unlock flying
item level is also a thing, but still gotta meet one more req
that's all you'll have if you've done none of the post ARR sidequests
any food you guys recommend just for food buff? cheap
Any guides to playing controller one handed?
heard a lot of ppl farm fates for gil; how does that work?
Can i still get the "Thavnarian dance" somewhere?
I think it’s that fates gives bicolor gems, which can be traded for mats to sell for money?
My random guess
that do be makin sense
bought with mgp
fates also give a little bit of gil
and since for some relics you need to farm the fuck out of them the rewards and gil isnt horrible
Were do they sell it tho?
gold saucer
The gold saucer, where all MGP items are
Will i get in trouble if i perform a song as the bard?
like ... for DMC purposes?
Considering there's a bard band who comes around to various cities and plays popular rock and metal charts, I think you're good lol
Are there any bits of equipment or weapons that are worth keeping for later or if its lower than your level it's junk?
Aside from for glamour that you might like, once your gear's item-level has passed your old gear's item-level, it has no functional value.
You can also keep stuff around if you plan on leveling alt classes, so you don't have to keep rebuying it, but other than that, yeah.
Didn't wanna be rebuying for crafting later down the line 😅

How long did Yoshida say the sub renewal maintenance will last for?
0s
Eh?
There's no maint
I keep getting an error for my renewal
they shut it down because, i shit you not, endwalker is so popular that theyre removing the ability to renew/buy ffxiv until further notice
at least. thats what im reading
they only suspended the sales of starter/complete edition
That’s unrelated to buying sub days
They said nothing about sub renewal.
aye aye ^ i am wrong. update: no fucking clue
its more than likely that right now the mogstation is having issues
if it relates whatsoever i cant get a name change either which 
Is renting out houses a thing? Like, I buy a large and let others use it as a RP venue or whatever for 10k/month
OK APPARENTLY
Afaik no
I had to use a incognito tab, in order to purchase my sub
Not something I've ever heard about
You can make people tenants
If you're using a vpn it's often flagged as suspicious activity
Nah I wasnt
also 10k/month is absolutely nothing
^
Hey for you paladin players, am I in the wrong for using clemency? I'm looking it up and it seems pretty divided in the community, my HP was at around 3% and I used Clemency and sometimes I'm just bored and use it, am I doing it wrong? I know I shouldn't use it at like 90% or 50% but sometimes when my defensives are on CD I don't know what to do so I use clemency to stay safe
it wouldn't be worth the bother of collecting
200k a month is considered just about cheap
Ideally you don't use it.
Trust your healer
I'm just nervous with a lot of sages lol
Only if the healer is letting you die (DIE not get to low HP, letting you get to low HP is effective and efficient healer play)
or of the healer died themselves
that's fair
I only use clemency when both healers are down and the boss is just about to die
but trust them first
only start using clemency if they prove themselves unable
Don't panic if you have low HP
As a healer, I don't like tanks using it unless I'm dead or severely out of mana and resources. It tells me that my tank doesn't trust me and I just need two seconds for excog to come up
Yeah when playing healer it's annoying to see the tank clemency
Use it after you die
I have one more question then, with Sheltron I activate it and sometimes still take damage, my only tank is GNB and I don't struggle on it at all so I'm not sure why PLD is so difficult for me atm
I'm lvl 71 atm
Sheltron does not negate damage to 0
because of what Vi said and also because chances are the healer had a cooldown they were going to use on you at that exact moment, and by clemencying you made their use of it wasteful
Sheltron just increases block. You'll still take damage, just less of it.
Sheltron is mitigation, not nullification
Ahh okay
!action sheltron
Sheltron makes your block rate 100%
It guarantees shield block for the duration
Idk why I thought block = no damage
Ye
Shield block is roughly 20% mit
Which is average 20% mitigation
Alright thanks guys 🙂
I'll try some more tomorrow, at what level would you say PLD feels really good?
Throw Hallowed in freely on the biggest pull
80
How do people go about finding help for treasure maps for 8 people?
You should be using invuln regularly
The lvl 80 PLD rotation is nice
Have friends or a trustworthy group to give you the good loot
I suggest using it on the first pull so that it's up again sooner, to maximise uses over the whole dungeon
Can't wait then! And I have been using HG when I take a big pack and my defensives are on CD and such, was mostly concerned with my usage of clemency
Don't save HG for emergencies, use it with impunity
Healers like when tanks use immunities mostly. Healers don't like PLD who use Clemency all the time
Twice is when people are still fucking up
I'd say the same as Vinyl
Alrighty, i'll keep that in mind ty 🙂
Twice is when you determine the healer can't deal
I guess I'm just scared still cause when I did GNB a few months ago my defensives were off and the healer couldn't keep me up and I got called a bad tank
So took a while to pick a new tank up
Fair, I main astro now, and not once has a tank died unless they stand in everything haha, thanks a lot everyone, you reassured me a bit and I'll practise more tomorrow! 🙂
Laughs in drk + sch/sge in dungeons
That's why I said "mostly"
Toxicon and eukrasian diagnosis for dungeon pulls, all instants all the way, how do you let a tank die with that level of mobility and shielding
||How to i get to Noetophoreon||
Fly
If you can't fly, there's not a current there.
You're almost definitely wrong
there is no current there
Not even that one place msq. Flies you too has a current
can trust healer/tanks handle wall to wall pulls?
kind of
is the little santa outfit available this year?
😦
seasonal events are unique each year with new rewards.
If you want a santa outfit though, the Dream set is tradeable on the marketboard
plus people often give it away around Christmastime
It's a unique case of an old event item that's tradeable
im on free trial, thx for the advice anyways
So people who did the event can infinitely reclaim more of them
So my summoner is 73. To get to 80 would it be faster doing bozja or dungeon hunting
bozja
Dungeons if you're comfortable as SCH. Bozja otherwise.
SCH dungeons would be the fastest yeah
i was doing blue unlock quests and i got a quest called the Ultimate Ballad wich said to confront the ultima weapon so i queued the praetorium sat afk for 30 min but quest didnt complete????
I’m healer main but at the moment I’m tired of doing healing so I’m playing DPS
That’s not the duty
wut teh quest led me to go to the entrance of the praetorium tho?
Minstrels Ballad is a trial
nono, you're looking for The Minstrel's Ballad: Ultima's Bane
oh damn
wtf why does it just lead me to the entrance place and when i click it it shows the praetorium
dammit
Read the objective
i did it just says use the duty finder to confront the ultima weapon
then the quest icon lead to the entreance of the praetorium
Currently trying to decide which version of the game to get between the Square Enix site or through Steam. Is one better or more preferable than the other?
ah i see now is says at the bottom (the minstrel's ballad: ultima's bane can be accessed bia the duty finder.) fuc kme jeez is the minstrel's balad the same raid but harder? will it also take 30+ min?
It’s a trial, you fight the one boss
oh...
How I get back to radz at han for msq .. I wasn't able to attune at the time 🥺
whats endtide aethersand used for
Both are probably delisted by now lol
Walk to the bridge in the north
Probably the grade 2 tinctures well get soon
Eat for.xp
just eat it for xp and ignore stats?
You know you can right click and search recipes involving material?
i wasnt sure if i should care abt the stats
yeah, it had 0 results
Food only matters in high end content
Not til endgame
Why is that?
I see!

See pins for full explanation from producer
See latest #lodestone-news-na posy
Servers can barely cope with current players and this would give a terrible experience to new customers, so prioritise existing for now
I'm trying out the free trial not buying anything, but I guess the servers are the same so it doesn't matter
Guess I'm stuck playing through Steam then since I already registered there
No new free trial accounts
Yes
Just wanted to ask before I got too deep
Sorry it's taken so long. Only just managed to get it going
So wait, you only can't buy new game codes now, right?
Any codes that already exist can be redeemed still and they could technically make a character and stuff, yeah?
is spell speed still to go meld for BLM?
afaik any codes that someone has already purchased should still be useable
I'd ask the balance, but I'm not sure an answer is available.
Where’s the best place to get/farm +36 materia?
How does Chi spawn work?
We'll probably get a definitive answer around the new savage raids,
Yes
It's rng after the 2nd fate
In general it’s almost always meld Sps until you hit something you want, then meld other stuff
And its got a cooldown on how frequently it can spawn
Is the cool down irl time?
Yes
Pain
What grade is that?
What is the Chi fate chain called?
Thanks for the answers
I mean the name of each fate
The top one I think, is it X?
Grade 10s? Do leveling and alliance roulette as the role that's needed
I don’t think there is an easy way to farm materia
But you get a lot of free ones
See here
Ahh, ok thanks.
Also, WT can get you the currency too
do hunt trains
Idk if it's 1 or 2 lines but you can get them with the certificates
I see, Omnicon recall something something
easily get lots of clusters + nuts to buy the materia
Awesome thanks!
Que times are to long for dungeons, what do i do as level 51?
Yeah I should start doing hunt trains
Farm fate, play market board, etc
market board?
The place where you buy and sell stuff with other players
After touching the market board I have lost 2 mil in the past 2 days!
What..? Can i level up on the market board?
Play as in buy/sell/flip items, learn how to make money using it.
No you can’t, but you can find ways to invent Gil
is death unto dawn a hard duty
No
i dont have much time i want to finish it today, if there is any chance of failure ill kill myself and do it in easy mode
Do you mean as an alt class or as your first class?
alt
!faw altlvlguide
yeah i checked that guide already
crap lol
but the que times are to long both on potd and dungeons, + fates barely give any xp
I mean, that's just queue times honestly. Nothing much you can do about that.
Is character settings data only stored for 23hours?
it's stored forever
you can't upload more than once every 24h or whatever which is what you might be seeing?
Ahh there was a popup about 23 hours and I wasn’t sure what it was saying.
Ohhh ok I see thanks

why do i suck so much
when playing as urianger should i just focus on healing or dps?
dps
If I buy the game on my profile on my ps5 console and logggin with my account will it auto link to the psn?
Yes
HE WAS AT 1 HP WHY
Welp can't find compelte edition in store
Must of removed it from psn to
Because they stopped selling it temporaily
Flark
Crying in success
I'm moving next month to another city and have no other way to play
It'll be back
I might have to pack up my desktop
can I upgrade from free trial to complete collection?
Not unless you purchased it prior to today
does my character have to physically look away from gaze mechanics? or can my character still be facing an enemy and casting as long as i move the camera away?
Your character has to look away
coolio gotcha, so i can have him in full view of my camera as long as my character faces the other way
Yep
Think of it as the camera is your viewpoint, but it's your character's view that matters for gaze mechanics.
oo gotcha. ty!
do i lose the EW level 87 dungeon trust NPCs at any point? like if i finish the MSQ?
hey all, is there an LFG discord/channel?
No, pretty sure they are locked only for that dungeon
You can use scenario mode at anytime after finishing the story
I mean yes
but i mean after i finish MSQ can i still do that…. ok thank you 🙂
i don’t want to lose the ability to play with them
The addition of scenario mode means that you can play with them for ever and ever and ever. 😄
i don’t understand the difference between the 2
Scenario mode the NPCs you can use are only the NPCs you could use for the story at the level of that dungeon.
You can't use your regular trust NPCs
And they won't get xp towards levelling for the achievement
oooo so then.. the only advantage of doing the avatars mode is you can choose the npcs to go with?
Avatars can level up too
otherwise no need to level them?
And achievements
Leveling them has an achievement and unlocks alternate costumes for using trusts in general
neat. still, that drastically deprioritizes leveling my trust npcs.
Like hw thancread
since i can run trust dungeons without leveling them
… but the scenario trust npcs don’t roll on loot
so why would scenario vs. avatars matter
currently it indeed doesn't matter for practical purposes
unless you want a combo of characters not available in scenario for a given dungeon
yeah i mean my main motivation for leveling the npcs was to be ABLE to do the dungeons at all
however they may later remove access to scenario for characters that have completed the MSQ, same as shadowbringers
yeah THAT is what i’m worried about
would be a fair ways out on that though, and we've no idea if they will or not
iirc, Scenario mode didn't exist in ShB
Any development on issues my Que been like 9k to 10 k
yeah it did while you were leveling, but soon as you finished Shadowbringers (the quest) you lost it
the development is they have to deploy new servers/worlds and they can’t procure the servers for it til ???
think they said summer-ish
scenario mode did exist in shb
They said they don't know and they'll have a plan sometime towards the end of January.
yup, they could tell this population issue was coming months ago... but the hardware simply wasn't available, and still isn't
Thats a huge if
hmm well sounds like people who finish MSQ aren’t currently losing access to scenario mode and “free” appropriate-level NPCs to do dungeons
What about sub pay for
What about it?
they are giving another 14 free days
ur getting 14 days free
21 days, really.
you've gotten a total of 21 free days of sub so far due to these issues
It did!? I’m really suprised
Because it's 14 on top of the previous 7 they gave us already.
yeah and we are coming on the 3rd week of half the playerbase being able to play
which is why your sub is being reimbursed
scenario mode = using the npcs that are available for the dungeon the first time you go thru the dungeon in msq
avatar mode = using whatever combo of trust npcs you want
Yeah, I just thought I remember you could only do scenario mode once / during NG+.
You can’t repeatedly do the scenario mode any time you want in ShB.
Not sure if I misremembered
you are
I did ShB in August and had scenario through
the only difference between shb/ew trusts is that you had to level them
Def still there ur first run
you couldn't replay scenario after finishing the MSQ before EW, but you can now, even when playing ShB dungeons
Like I remember 5.x being, after you did the MSQ once, to use trust again, you have to level your trust then do avatar mode
Pay sub dec 10 still can’t get in game my server my char at due Que 9k to 10 k
you could use scenario mode too
Okay? They're doing everything they can. Including stopping all sales and new downloads of the Trial version until further notice.
We know its a problem, they know its a problem, they are taking an L on sub money, it is what it is. #rants if youd like to continue
And you get free sub
- these complaints aren't questions, -> #rants
- if this is such a dealbreaker for you, speak with your wallet and don't resub agian
does rested exp contribute to fate?
It contributes to kill xp
Hun I thought Rested XP contribute to end of fate bonus?
So yes and no. It applies to the xp gained from killing FATE mobs, but not from the final bronze/silver/gold bonus.
Nope
Sad
That
The only xp buff that applies to anything other than kill xp is the Road to 80 buff on preferred servers.
Do riding maps affect flying speed
No
Crap them I just wasted 70 gemstones
flying speed is max riding speed iirc?
Yes.
riding maps are very nichely useful for gathering nodes
makes it slightly faster to get between two really close nodes with less effort
but that's quite literally it
(once you have flying)
Should bought hides and skins then dx
it's no biggie
those 70 gemstones will be a drop in the water for you in a week if you grind more fates, you'll barely notice you spent em
why is it so hard to find the subscribe page?
Idk, the whole online experience was awful tbh
I'm trying to alter my controller hotbars and I'm just wondering how many actions each job has on average? I'm not sure how much of the expanded controls I need to switch on
36 is the max they go to iirc
Paladin uses 36 if you count sprint, lb and mount as well
(Granted we don't use shield bash, so 35)
Or you can be a clembot and only have clem on ur hotbar 
Ah, so I basically need one of the two expanded options maxed and then sort of half for the other
more or less
For crosshotbar my rule of thumb is single target setup on hotbar 1,aoe on hotbar 2
So I have total eclipse and holy circle etc only on hotbar 2
Saves space
Just tap rb to swap between them
That's neat, I'll have to steal that. I just wish the hotbars didn't take up so much space as I prefer the double tap bars as it helps me keep things visible
Lemme do you a solid, I also use the double tap bars but only half
how do you sell your items in the market board?
you can scale them down and stuff
is there a blue mage discord
via the retainers
okie dokie ty
there's several https://discord.gg/blueacademy is a good one to start
so if I bought the Complete Edition a couple weeks before Endwalker launched, I have to pay 40 bucks for Endwalker, but if I were to have bought the Complete Edition today it would include Endwalker? or is that incorrect
@leaden ginkgo is that helpful?
you have to buy EW
that is correct
Complete edition now has endwalker if you brought it now
that's dog
which you can't
That's how it always works
complete editions are not retroactive
That's actually really useful, it looks like it doesn't absolutely take over the screen. I might have to swap to just using half bars for that
they're effectively different versions. so what you bought weeks ago was the shadowbringer's complete edition
with endwalker's release, a new complete edition was released that includes endwalker
the corners are the double tap hotbars, shirk macro automatically targets <2> which is the OT and the intervention macro does the same, limit break macro is just to yell at dps to use it
so I probably should have just kept playing the free trial and not paid $40 just to get access to retainers earlier
lmao..
yes, the question was asked hundreds of time here and on reddit
Even had a faq for it
this would also have been in the product description
you wouldnt be able to keep playing if you were on FT rn
true
Ah, I see. I'll have o set those up, I assume I could do the same with Cover?
Cover literally has few if any uses
especially with the buffed intervention
I can really only recall using it on E9s
but its easier to just press ur oh shit button
it used to be better but iirc they removed the part where it wouldn't apply debuffs if you covered ppl which kinda made it meh
and remember damage from cover goes through hallowed ground
is dungeon xp now less cus we dont get xp from mobs?
no
its transferred to bosses
oh ok
all that exp comes from the bosses now
so you just see a big spike after boss kills
preventative measure for bots
cool
and not through the dungeon
I wonder if it accounts for hatched morbol in aurum, but simultaneously idgaf, all by jobs are 82+
Do you get more xp doing zadnor or whatever it’s called or just stick with bozja
they give the same exp
BUT zadnor has a speedrun route now so
I got like 7 levels in half the time it took me before EW so its p good
zadnor also gives you a lot of mettle so u can progress the story faster if thats something youre into
I’m 99% sure they don’t
Oh imma do that then. I wanna get the Cerberus mount and at rank 14
GL w/ that youll need to PF it
What’s a speed run route?
An order for fates to kill in Zone 3?
How long does it take for the extreme mounts to be able to be bought with totems ?
z3 circle go brrrrrr
I see
like the mech one at the beginning of z3 into chimken into rock into elephant, into rdm, path to extra ones as needed
Lol mashing x cuz doubt
^
and no one is doing it rn. Youd be lucky to see consistent runs prior to EW release
Cuz it will set your mettle back to 0 in a heartbeat
Throw in server issues, and we'll the light group I did it with haven't done any runs since the week before early access
gotta wait for the strummers to go try it
I mean I'm gonna go back and do it again once I run out of ew shit to do
But I've way too much ew shit to do
how do you send ur retainer on an adventure?
Give them a job
Is there a guide on how to level up gem trader?
Oh do you need to progress to give them jobs right?
Do fates
how many fates do we do?
Equip them to give them a job then fmgo from there
Travel, shared fates

66 fates for max rank
Per zone
Each fate is like 1/4 of a million exp so its great
And there's a mount for 50 k bicolors
Tell me more about that mount
Max all 6 zones
how is this hotbar possible? only 3 spells
Hide unused slots
from where?
Bicolor gem tokens at main hub cities, 100 gems each
500 tokens for a mount in mor dhona
Also the feo ul wings fashion accessory
Which I NEED
Tokens are also sellable on mb, they fuck off expensive atm
So I bought some codes of the complete edition for friends and stuff way back in July, those will just include up to shadowbringers and not endwalker right?
ty!
Yes
You probably saw diablos wings from nut vendor
Some people have th fairy wings
Hmm
My static's white mage has them
Ye but statistically, diabolos wings are more likely, also they're both orange
pixie wings are maps
Diabolos was 800 nuts iirc
the 500 voucher is the black angel wings
Oh wait yeah you're right
My b, i should do more maps
But I'm stockpiling for the dungeon that sounds like a sex toy
Fairy is achievemebt then? Or where?
What's it again...
i already said it
Map
the pixie wings are maps
As in treasure maps
Excitatron
Oh
Excitation 5000, come on
6000
3000
Sold to the pink lizard
fairy wings not from excitatron btw, which is not ingame yet, just normal treasure chests
This is gonna be the dumbest question, but what's the emote called that looks like counting in the air? It's a looping one. I've tried looking for it everywhere and can't seem to get a name on it. NPCs in shops do it, usually turned around
its confirm emote, which is from the Ballroom Etiquette - Scholarly Certitude item
drops from the uznair treasure dungeons
Ah jeez. Is it available on the marketboard?
are eather currents still a thing in endwalker?
yes it is
Yes
Yeah but it won't be cheao
Always will be aether currents
Yes, compass is moved to your collection menu
so i gotta collect them all again for the new areas sick
Aether currents are a good system and show no signs of going away
theyre not that painful to find them this time around. Like theyre not all tucked behind or around a corner in a void SOME still are
There's none as bad as the infamous lochs one
im just gonna google them prob
Maps aren't updated
That said was that removed in the update I haven't hears
So get that compass
StB was my worst aether hunt in memory
They’re pretty easy to find
That's not an answer, and personally I enjoyed the challenge
Wheres the fun in that?
i just wait for my fc to do it and then have them taxi me around
Lame
Hmm can i see the specific time of the day my sub ends?
A new one?
no fun i guess?
Oh yeah I forgot about my retainers, danke wryn
Is it not possible for existing trial players to upgrade now?
Correct
What does this icon mean?
Fate npc
Fate
Start fate
Trial players are admittedly getting the shaft but it's unfortunately the best solution they can manage
Hi! I'm looking for a new class to choose - I quite like Scholar and Gunbreaker and Black Mage - but I don't know if that's any help or if there's any real similarities between them...
if you like dps then play SAM
how do i unlock the hunt board next to my grand company keeps saying i cant accept the hunt
Flip a coin, you can level them all if you want
Get promoted
bruh, I'm already playing the game tho
When did you make that purchase?
20ish mins ago
Cuz it'll take time for it to go through on the game servers
Lol
Servers are already strained as hell, try again later/tomorrow
i thought it could be faster, cus i received the mogstation mail already
is it possible to do the journey to remember collaboration quest still?
It's possible to do the Qitari beast tribe quest as a fisher. Correct?
Yes
or somehow purchase the items from it?
All right. Just checking
There's no collabs active rn
Wait, that means you can hire 2 now, not 2 total
so no way to obtain the amatsu armor set?
4 in total
does this mean my sub automatically renews?
Yes
Misread, wait a bit at most it would normally take an hour
Go run a dungeon and come back
Emphasis on normally, servers are severely strained
gonna take a bath, that should prob do it
Yes, if you dob't want it to renew press "Cancel Subscription"
SO NOT PRESS "Cancel Service Account
LMAO no i wont cancel service account
That mistake has been done by a few people
yeah i heard about that before they updated mog station
And whenever I cancel my sub I'm always paranoid to accidentay press Cancel Service Account.
So be careful
its at the very bottom now
Is it?
Good
yeah its "harder to find"
Your renewal date will be extended 2 weeks on Tuesday ish, see pins for details
yeah i saw that i wasnt sure at what time it actually would end if it didnt renew
because according to the post its like 9am for me
it just shows the day on mog station
why is that your choice? :)
I misread the question and thought you had already leveled all 3 of them
how high my DoW retainer ilvl should be now?
All three are different roles
GNB and BLM are both high dps classes but BLM is tough to master if you plan on taking them into savage or extreme, or any endgame.
i would just play all 3 and pick what i like most tbh
So you could level all of them as your main Tank/Healer/DPS
I haven't played many dps but I saw videos and thought SAM looked most fun. Just my opinion.
In my humble opinion Reaper is the most fun Melee DPS so far
But you have to get to 70 to getcit
I like GNB because of continuation and a lot of the OGCD weaving? It feels sort of busy and bursty which is fun
Pretty sure the basically which job by Larry is still pinned
its all subjective in the end so pick what you like and not what others like
It doesn't include Reaper and Sage of course
DRK doing more than GNB rn but usually ye In trials
@sturdy glacier don't worry about "low tier" jobs, there aren't any
the bot brings it to the point
Balance is fucky atm cuz it's a fresh expansion but they'll be tying that up over the next 3 weeks
Ye
Pick and play what you enjoy, 90% of the population won't care/judge. Those that do are dicks
Some jobs have static combos others are more flexible with off global cooldowns on more skills. If you like SCH then you might want to go for the more flexible jobs.
Which is more based, Dragoon or Archer? Main class is WHM
Reaper has the most Chad of movement skills. It wins by default
DRG if u wanna be a stripper, Archer if you wanna go on AGT and get shit on by the judges
Damn both sound tempting
Then play both
BRD imo is in a better place than it was in ShB, especially to newer players. but at the end of the day you can google coinflip and choose
DRG has some sick looking armor better than BRD.
Ah yes the vore armor
That's the actual lore
It's dragoon armor is designed so that if a dragon ends up eating you you'll take it down in the process
If I apply Pure Black Dye to my Angelic Attire, will this properly affect my glamour setup?
Or do I need to apply it on the gear I'm actively wearing and thus lose it on gear swap?
u apply it to the glam plate u r gonna use
or u can apply it to ur current gear. Regardless they both get consumed so
Its just if you use it on your glam setup itll stay there
vs reapplying
If you apply it to the item and then stick it in the glamour dresser it'll stay dyed in the dresser
That's perfect then, thanks all :)
You can also dye items already in your dresser to achieve the same effect
Is there anywhere to get old seasonal items?
The page for Starlight celebration says seasonal shop but cannot find stuff anywhere
I can answer that, for money
Delete the dumb gif, that's the actual answer
Old seasonal stuff goes on the cash shop
How do I level a gatherer in the diadem?
You gather
No handins?
do riding maps increase your flying mount speed?
What's the best way to farm Poetics? I need a ton for the Anima weapon.
no
Just gather it all up? A lil slower than crafting hand ins?
!faq poetics
Thank you.
you gather it then do a mass turn in to get the stuff stamped and then its useable and sellable
also, does anyone know where the npcs to convert old tomestones are?
mor dhona
thank
middle lady
what's the stat priority for melding WAR gear now? still crit > DH > det?
youve never done DH on war
must've read something wrong...so just crit then det?
Now that I look, the bar is moving quite fast even at 70. Thanks a bunch!
Crit > Det > ten
thx much Repu!
you can also do sks but thats more to get slightly faster, not a need anymore bc you only get 3 happy brain chemical moves now
Any suggestions of where I can buy lvl 70 gathering gear that isn't from the market board?
SS to a comfy tier is still a factor but more comfort
exactly my thoughts on that
Scrips
Ah, so handing in the stuff I'm doing now.
Idk what those are
So it's totally taboo to ask someone to upload logs in in-game chat, correct?
Should I buy a private room in my FC, or buy an apartment?
FC is cheaper
Yes
waited 2 hrs gets loaded in and loses connection to the game... sigh
How can you check what instance you're in without checking at an aetherye ?
Same size, different location, ones cheaper
I imagined. Just checking
Sir this is #questions-and-help
#rants is a different channel
Oops my bad
sir, this is a wendys
So regarding Extremes, how are they considered in difficulty so far?
easy
So, white scripts I get through ishgard handins as well? Do I need to be a certain level for that?
no
!faq scripunlock
restoration gives different scrips
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)
Give me a point of reference: are they easier than Diamond Weapon EX
Launch extremes are piss easy, the next extreme will be brutal if ShB is anything to go off of and then we'll get the trial series starting in 6.2
And diamond ex was a joke
I only ever cleared Inno
That's like above titana
That's kinda why I'm asking lol
Which is barely off the floor
I'd argue harder than diamond ex but that's an outlier in terms of ex difficulty
EX1 is literally "follow the guy who knows what they're doing"
It took me several months to actually clear Diamond EX (mostly because of other players but still-)
So uh.
Uh oh.
Ex2 has mechanics one would expect In a Ex...in and outs, light party stacks, spreads, tanking adds etc
Mechanics based on visual tells ||Weapon swaps from normal mode||
Final Boss EXs tend to be very tough, no?
But I can see how they can do Ex for it
Thordann too
I don't count hw since they were still figuring shit out
Sephirot still had permadeath ffs
I notice final boss EX fights tend to differ a lot more from the original than EX 1 and 2
They have more dev time
More closer to a Savage end boss
launch Ex are purposely made easy
Unlike most bosses where the high end version is designed first

X.1 are usually placed inbetween floor 2 and 3 difficulty of Savage
Which you can take as you will depending on how the savage tier is
I never cleared a single Savage fight in my thousand plus hours of game
I hope to have mty first in Pande
do you guys have a favorite place for an apartment?
I'm looking to obtain hundreds of battle materia for savage for pentamelding crafted armor without breaking the bank. Does anybody here have some good advice on how to make gil to be able to afford to do this?
are there any lfg discords or channels? looking to spam potd with some folks
Make a PF
you can get materias in a variety of ways, but the most obvious would be farming roulettes with adventurer in need bonus(leveling roulette as tank for ex) and doing hunt trains which both drop materias as well as give nuts to buy more
for money otherwise, FATE farming currently is probably the best outside of crafting/gathering. treasure maps are usually good too but not sure about current ones until they release the dungeon
I've been doing hunts when available and doing roulettes, but those alone aren't enough to be ready come raid patch. I did just pentameld my crafting set so I can craft stuff too
A lot of people are farming Fates right now right? I should be able to just make a pf and farm fates?
you can make a PF to farm yeah, even solo is pretty fast though
well crafting is good then, but it should be that expensive to get the materias for melding combat gear
looking at it quickly on my server, det IX is 10k, so 100 of them is a million, which isn't particularly crazy amounts
prices might go down given a week or so too, and I didn't check other servers
grade 9 materia is roughly 4-5k each right now
well that's half the price of what I was checking then
when you put it that way it isn't too bad
you can also not fully overmeld
but I still might need to help provide for a couple static members
or overmeld VIIs in the last couple of slots
diff between VII and IX is only 4 substat, which is going to turn into really not much at all
it could be important for hitting a stat tier but definitely something to keep in mind
ultimately it's a matter of what you can afford, as I mentionned you can farm gold crafting/gathering if you have that and then see what you end up with
yeah that was kind of what I was wondering, what should I be crafting to make gil?
I've only ever really sold consumables when I used to craft, but at the moment they are not profitable at all
have to check the market that's gonna depend on the server and stuff, gathering and crafting gear, including 81-88 stuff should be selling for decent profits but hard to tell
leve items too
that's a good idea
I'll take a look and see what I can figure out then, thanks for the help
are the weapons trials ost gonna be included with the EW album cause i thought they were shb?
they're on death unto dawn
hey if the materia market crashes can we expect it to pick up again over time? how long do high prices for materia usually last when dlcs drop?
i guess it get more expensive with each patch that need you to penta meld new gear
i really wanted to get The Hybodus mount but i know nothing about fishing do i need to farm up my fishing skill to 80 and watch a bunch of videos and such to do it? as i just finished stormblood im not lvl 80 yet either or can i do it at lower lvls?
Schedule for upcoming ocean fishing voyages with information on blue fish, achievements, and more.
all the bait guide is here
does anyone remember what they did to desynthing trials gear and getting the gemstone material from the weapons? the sword give them less often now or something?
it's preferable to be a decent lvl to get enough points
specifically enough to double hook
just go ocean fishing during peak hour
more often and shield doesn't give it anymore
so i dont need to lvl it up first? i can just go unlock fishing then follow a guide for the ocean fishing?
use double hook or use patience during spectral current
unlocking the mount requires enough points on a given run, which is easier if you have more skills, but you can ocean fishing at any level, in fact it's great for leveling fishing
u will level up really fast on ocean fishing anyway
ohh so the sword gives it as normal amount now
can i ask about fflogs and act in here?
I took a break, and now I'm back in ffxiv and all my dragoon abilities are gone and im level 60
but i did the job quest though
Does prepaid game time count for the free sub time coming up on the 21? Don't want to miss out on 14 free days if it means just holding my card for awhile and paying for a normal monthly sub
oh ok il try it out and hope it works
equip your job stone you're likely lancer atm
Oh. Thanks LOL
just remember to update ur gear and do fishing quest to unlock skill
gear?! where do i get fishing gear
u can craft them or buy them on MB or vendor
which one is more profitable--botanist or carpenter?
i want to get a house asap and i know that will take a bit
so i want to speedrun the whole thing
what are the names of these vendors?
Carpenter is essential for housing, and botanist is essential to carpentry. I'd say do both, botanist first.
Just go to a hub, and talk to the vendors
its what im doing nd idk which one i should focus on more
i have more carpentry levels than botanist
hi im brand new to craft/gather, wondering what the best stuff to spend scrips on at lvl 75?
I'd say botany. But mind that you're better off doing every gatherer and at least a large chunk of crafters, since there's a lot of bleeding between crafters. You need various metal ingots for lances, etc.
go to the market place of any major city and u can find armorer that shuld have fieldcraft gear for sale
i c i c. thank you
ah alright thanks
gear for lvling > xp manuals for leveling > cordials for gathering > materias
Ok so I play a samurai after not playing so long I've got bad at this I feel like I do no dmg and was told to go dragoon because it's easier to learn should I swap or continue with the way of the Samurai
not market board but the line of vendor around the market board
Crafters or gatherers? I'd say start stocking up on hi cordials from gatherer scrips, and from crafter idk
i love crafting and gathering modes so much...
SAM is hardly difficult other than top end optimization, look up a guide and practice and you'll get better, playing a different class won't remove the need for learning and practicing it before you're good at it
Ok ty
if you do WANT to play DRG though, do that sure, might be a bit easier to learn, but really up to you
The two that bleeds into carpenter the most is armourer/blacksmith (for the most part, both can make ingots), so if you don't have the patience to omnicraft and are fine with buying some stuff on MB, theoretically CRP/BSM should largely sustain each other
Also I recommend using Ishgard to level both gatherers and crafters
Anyone know how i can set a macro to switch to a gear set based on the job not on the gear set number
im just botanist, been running around doing the class quests and some firmament stuff but the class quest is going to overcap my white scrips
For gathering, I think you can buy hi cordials with white. They're never bad to have. I have like 350+ on my main.
How do i gain the minions from christmas event?
Do the event, there’s 2 quests
Yes, where are these quests?
Gridania, amphitheatre area
Should I be using minions this whole time? Or is it a meme
Is all the scrip gear irrelevant and just replaced with crafted stuff?
They’re cosmetics, they stand and look cute
scrip gear is catchup/casual gear, crafted gear is better IF you meld it, which costs a bunch of money
They're visual fluff. I personally only take mine out if I see someone else and go like "oh right minions exist". In high congestion areas, it's polite to take them off to help people with bad PCs have one less entity to load.
Thanks mom
scrip gear is usually good enough for most simple cases of gathering for your own needs and stuff, but for ppl who want to make the most money they invest a bunch into a solid melded set that gives more profit, but then you have to actually play a bunch to pay back the melds, it's a choice of playstyle basically
Is there a lvl 90 set of white scrip gear?
purple scrips
can you turn a untradeable item into tradable?
white is for old expansion gear(still good for lvling) and stuff like materias, materials and other various things
so its just poetic/aphorism
no
aww rip
for cool kids
yeah white scrip is basically poetic/unlimited tome(aphorism currently), purple is limited tome(not available yet for combat) for current gear and newer materials and materias
Are diffrent versions of classes (Pugilist to Monk) better than the original or are they just diffrent
always better, jobs are just the class+extra stats and skills
Jobs are superior, never go back
its a straight upgrade
why do some duties have the sync symbol and some dont, arent all duties synced?
Those sync your item level more than usual
Fun fact, way back in 2013, classes, not jobs, could use cross-class. Like you could have swiftcast on pugilist if you leveled thaumaturge to like 26. You also didn't get swift any other way, so it was pretty much mandatory for all casters to level THM. Warrior had Provoke, Bard had Raging Strikes (allegedly also mandatory on all DPS) etc. It got removed since then, so there's no point in downgrading to your class.
everyone could use cross class, classes could use cross class from every class and could use 10 instead of 5
For example the 70 dungeon of 4.0 syncs you to i310 even though the max for lvl 70 is i400
Huh
yeah WAR also didn't have provoke
which is why it sucked when you had one that didn't lvl Gladiator to 26 or 34 or whatever
MRD skills were Bloodbath and the thing that used to be before Thrill
convalescence?
so as a WAR tank you had to lvl gladiator to get provoke, and also rampart maybe? forgot if that was a cross class
anyone know how to deal with these xD
Walk up the ramp?
more of a getting killed by the mobs
Don’t aggro them all at once, wear appropriate gear
like these
you should have like i130 gear, Ironworks stuff, then it should be fine, if you aggro, run back a bit to pull them closer
should be sufficient although the chest is crappy
just have to be careful with how you engage, don't run in separate stuff and such
you can buy ironworks chest with poetics
gotcha
but yeah just be careful and you should be fine, also you can heal as RDM so should never be a problem

so if you want hades crystals do you desynth paladin swords or just normal 10 cost weapons
after the changes
Sword
hm im getting unlucky then
Where can I find the tomestone shop in Endwalker?
radz-at-han
Thanks
Radz (X: 10.8, Y:10.3)
👍
106 hades totems and not a single hades crystal
Hello, new player here. How important is my character's race when beginning the game??
Not at all
not important at all
Thank you
is there another big catchup scrip dump with the EW gather role quest?
How do you get nuts fast?
Join hunt trains for your server
im not sure where to ask this but can someone give me a brief summary of the BRD job story from 60-80? or if its any good
Triple instances for EW zones makes them super plentiful
@fast talon serious answers, please.
If you want Gil, check the prices of the grade 7/8/9 materia. If you need pre-90 gear, buy the Landsaint stuff. If you still need the folklore books, buy the tokens for those
Serious answer, there are probably compilations of all the cutscenes on youtube if you missed the story
not probably. are.
Where can I get chocobo barding that aren't too flashy or ain't like a cosplay? something cool or simple like the alliance ones
umm how do i get 1 more point in tactical?? x_x
My inventory is full, what do I do?
how do i level up nanasomi?
Run more missions
Train him or run a mission
ok thanks 🙂
Sell monster drops. You probably got a lot of different types from the story
Okay, thank you!
hey there anyway to upgrade item lvls?
Get better gear
Gear that you can directly upgrade is only seen in current expansion tomestone gear and relic weapons, mainly.
If we blacklist someone. Can they still join our party?
