I mean everything else too
Same, Kaydeethree. Like I'm starting to get to the point I'm going to have to dedicate a retainer just to tomestone gear for classes I haven't leveled yet.
I'm pretty sure previously chest is 645 tome, now it's 410?
do we know if that trend is for the upcoming tomestones too? or just the current ones
Yeah I don't think ShB stuff was this cheap
You can't even get 2 Accessory with weekly cap
level 80 equivalent gear this is the 6.0.5 equivalent chart
Oh fuck
back when it was still phantasmagoria
825
YoshiP: "After belts are removed, the price of other pieces will be adjusted"
I did not thought they are all adjusted down
oh, wait, that's the 5.05 gear
Yeah, basically a 50% discount now
I'll be doing expert roulettes once astronomy releases, just didn't want to burn out on it by farming just aphorism from it, but looks like i'll have to do it anyway
WHY CAN'T I FIND THE PRICE OF GEAR THAT Allagan Tomestone of Goetia BUY!
gear prices look to be the same, the chart I showed earlier was the 5.0.5 gear. 5.0 tomestone armor (ilvl 440) is same price. 500 weapons, 245 helms, hands, feet; 410 bodys, legs, 180 accessories. https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Aymark&oldid=218423
Oh you found it!
It kept looking at history but just can't find it lol
Another collectable question. Is it still true that you can craft and turn a collectable in if it's one level higher than you? So like if I was 71, I can craft and turn in the level 72 collectable?
But yeah, sad... it seems like it's just the expansion's first set of gear is cheaper
Thanks 🙂
Future gear is always expensive
Did Poetics gear got discounted?
I vaguely remember a chest piece costs more than 510?
You mean in this patch?
Hmmm
I forget how much the aphorism chest costs
Whatever, I give up
410
Lol
Super noob with question here
Am I unable to play the game right now without having owned the game prior? Buying endwalker wont grant me access as a new player?
It's poetics, they're like candy after a certain point
Yeah I think poetics gear is always discounted price + 100 for augmentation
I don't believe you're able to play now, and sales should be pausing soon if not already
Ah the augment may be why they cost more
Aphorism right now is unaugmented
Game is too popular, we sold out
Completely
Anyway, I'm gonna stop thinking about this topic, it makes my head hurt lol
You can’t currently buy the game or register for the free trial
Yea i cant buy the base game anywhere only the DLC but sometimes for games that have been out a while the newest DLC unlocks the whole rest of the game. Blegh, murphys law
Congestion is too high
here's tomestone prices for 5.x gear before they got converted to poetics: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Aymark&oldid=286810
So new players have temporarily been stopped from joining
😭
unless you've already got a paid ffxiv account you won't be able to purchase the game or it's expansions for a while
I had it on console but i dont think i had to make a square account. Oh well
thanks folks for the answers
If you had it on console and played once you have an account
even on PC?
Yes
Because to play you had to create a square enix account to login to the game with before creating a character
try to buy it from https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/product/ and you'll either be able to purchase or you can add your email address to a mailing list where they'll say 'you can now buy the game!' when that time comes
Wait if you have PS4 version but never played on PC before... can you buy PC version now?
doesn't look like it, the store page on ps4 appears to be gone
No, because they are different licenses, unfortunately.
here's the store page for the pc purchase: https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/696500/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download
Due to ongoing server congestion issues, sales of the FINAL FANTASY XIV Starter Edition and Complete Edition products have been temporarily suspended. Click for details.Enter the realm of Eorzea and join 25 million adventurers worldwide.The Complete Edition is perfect for new players as it includes the base game and all expansions through Endwal...
click the waiting list button there and you'll get an update
Oof
no
Those aren’t until savage
do .05 job updates only update potency numbers, or can they also include some spell changes?
They can have effect changes
on that note, can someone help me understand why summoner's +3% damage buff is locked to combat-only? how would you even abuse it if it wasn't?
Dunno, PLD likes to use Fight or Flight at -18s tho
did someone has been staring at the grape and like "omg this has higher polygon" lol
The grapes are quite a meme
it just makes the first 3 seconds of combat for smn pretty awkward, since you have to cast a basic ruin and wait until it registers you as in combat, so you can press your +3% buff before starting the bahamut loop
dem grapes
i like how the grapes already shape in caprisun "box" and all you need is just a straw
The crystal grapes
Well it is a raid buff, so you probably want to delay it a bit anyway
An issue when viewing the credits wherein players were forcibly disconnected due to inactivity.
imagine getting kicked out because credit lol
because of that delay, all the melee have charged to the boss and now the buff doesnt reach them :|
i routinely miss the tank with my buff in dungeons because of that
But it is kinda weird that it isn’t available out of combat tho
it's a weird awkward thing on an otherwise very polished job
The sound effect of the scholar action Broil IV has been adjusted
so they can change the sound effect for broil 4 (after complain) yet no change to GNB hit sound effect? cmon SE
So does the raid being 580 gear mean the current ex trials are redundant?
they help gearing for savage
Raid gear is weekly locked
no, current ex accessories are 580 as well
Plus there are no weapons yet
so normal mode accessories aren't necessarily going to be better, depending on stat spread
what was wrong with Broil4 sound? i only casted it a couple of times but it sounded nice and fun to me
sounded like firing an artillery salvo, which was kinda appropriate for the animation
probably slightly too loud or something, I thought it was a bit louder than usual at least
does ff14 ever finish maintenance early?
yes for minor patches like this, but never before weekly reset
so for heal potions, do you think they'll squish their healing? i bought like 200 just for heals the other day (they were like 2g per pot on market board)
so it may come back up before the 8 hours on this one?
nobody seriously uses potions to heal
go do !timers in #kupo-bot-spam to see when weekly timer is, add 10mins and that's hte earliest it can be up at
I doubt sqex gives more than two fucks about their current state
well duh, but they were finally not a joke
the patch notes say they've been adjusted
yeah semes they are nerfing them, cause their numbers were actually quite good with the stat squish
yeah but I'm saying even if they were buffed, no one would care lol
i would
no the token system was the same in shb
Which was the same in hw
the change was to how many tokens drops per floor
shb had some changes on which floors dropped what so it wasn't as annoying, but it's still 1 token per floor per week
Oh ok

What is the newest American server for a new player to play in? I'm in Gilgamesh and they really rushed the MSQ 8 man instances which wasnt really enjoyable
Same thing for everyone
And will tranferring suspend my character for a while?
You can't transfer at the moment iirc
world transfer is disabled due to the crush load
I see. But what is the newest server
It is gonna be the same everywhere
that's the standard for that dungeon
cast/prae are memes for non-new players, we're all trying to get through them as quickly as possible
Didnt even do the trash mobs
just gotta run
they're finally changing them apparently
Boss died so fast its not really immersive lmao
why waste time killing trash now, especially when they moved the exp from trash mobs to be on the bosses themselves
Could be way worse, it was possible for players to skip cutscene
to be fair, those 2 dungeons are also the only two of their kind
So new players were often forced into broken sequence of cutscene
no other dungeon is like that
As they didn't make the actual journey to change their location
Unfortunately, with the way these two dungeons are made
Your current situation is the best case scenario
Alternatively, you can make a party (assuming you aren't on free trial) and ask People to join and play the dungeon at a slower pace
uh, good luck with that
Yeah, that's another catch
very unlikely to fill
Yeah I'm not into RP and shit like that but man Ultima weapon and all the bosses died in under 30 seconds or something
Just think of the two dungeon as a very time sensitive rescue mission
Its kinda defeats the story lmao
but yea yoshiP said they're looking at fixing it
like I said before, those 2 dungeons are the only two of their kind, and honestly the story isn't all that great up until the point you're at anyway
One of the Endwalker 8-player content have been designed to allow players to bring 7 NPC to help
Hopefully, that lays the foundation
Ok i see
To let players do those two lvl 50 dungeons with NPC
But for the time being, there's no much we can do
when the story actually starts getting good (which is pretty soon for you) the dungeons and bosses aren't as braindead
Yeah this is a slog. I am at the Ice Heart part. Am I close to Heavensward?
Yes, but no
Shoulda just paid the 25 bucks to skip lol
That is Heavensward I believe
Oh, hmm.
so yes, you're close-ish to heavensward
and anyway the iceheart stuff is pretty interesting imo
The msq you are doing now works as the prologue for Heavensward
just a few more hours of story before it starts getting really good
it kinda gets really good really fast
It is all up hill from here
Good stuff! Thanks guys
Or down hill if you are on roller coaster
I wish this maintenance wasnt done at a prime hour tho 😅
yea this is pretty standard for their maints
8pm PST is pretty much towards the end of prime time for NA
since the week resets on Tuesday, most maints are done Monday night
maint finishes right around the time the normal weekly reset usually happens
Yeah just wish it was not in prime time slot 🤣
It’s not
my sub is through steam. do i have to buy new content packs also through steam?
Yes you buy expansions on steam
alrighty
i beat heavensward in a day so i'm worried i might run out of MSQ lol
any ETA on when sales return btw?
not any time soon
Nope
servers are melting as is
How long this maintenance will take?
3.5 more hours
Use the command
even if you nolife it itll still take you several weeks to finish the entire game
took me like a month and a half
has there been a definitive answer for the whole grubhub emote debacle, I've heard it should've listed something about you applying the code in the receipt they sent for your order but mines doesn't list anything about the code even though I ordered through the link on the promotion site
It auto applied it if you got on through the promo
youre supposed to get an email with the code arent you?
Yeah, on the email associated with the grub hub account you used
haven't gotten my code but someone on reddit said there receipt said something about the promo card being applied in the payment method tab and my receipt didn't have that so I was worried something happened
ive heard some people got their code and others complained about not getting a code but idk what grubhub is doing about that
I’ve seen a couple Reddit posts of “Rawr me no get emote, refund refund”

I need help, Bard Performance has become an addiction and is severely impeding my leveling. How do I get an intervention?
become addicted to something else
What do you propose?
gpose 
Does it help with leveling?
no, in fact you will log on just to gpose and then afk and log off
are there lvl 90 job (non-blue) side quests that give a title?
I kinda forgot where the NPCs were
no
oh? that's a shame. I liked those even if they were quick. ty ty
crafted raiding gear is gonna come out in the savage patch right? how do I pentameld raiding gear? do i need the corresponding crafter to be lvl 90?
what ilvl requirement will pandaemonium normal be?
Who has the biggest milkers in all the MSQ?
565
So far its Minfilia I think
Is there gonna be a download after the maintenance?
6.01 download is up
How big is the file ?
few hundreds mb, did not check it
not really an appropriate question
when is the server back up in EST?
like 4 am?
ok then in about an hour then
they usually finish early but impossible to tell
is the raid releasing today?
it could be back up at 2am pst, it could be back up in five minutes 🤷♂️
how do I pentameld crafted raiding gear? do i need the corresponding crafter to be lvl 90?
How long is the maintenance again?
Just a crafter at 90
and you need to do a simple quest outside of uldah
ok so its only one crafter?
another 2 hours i think
What the point of field exploration?
lvls your homie, supposes "unique rewards" by chance
retainer ventures im guessing
Yes
Ya, in old versions different gear needed a different crafter but I dont think thats the case anymore
@charred sluice for spamming them to lvl while youre online or when your retainers are at max lvl
I look at the items and they dont seem that good
thank you very much for the confirmation thats a relief
wait field exploration
they're basically only to afk level your retainers
its for leveling
field is the 18hr ones
And they take longer than just mining and farming
yes theyre for when youre offline
bot/min retainers have 18hr ventures too
if you dont want to interact with your retainer often you send them on field
Im not gonna sit in town all day and micromanage that loser
there are also minions that are specific to the 18hr
So it basically for if your lazy or going off
yes
or if you're hoping for the venture specific minions ye
theres nothing lazy about it, its literally just for leveling or the unique reward
Just want levels so I can get good resources going to get them all is a pain
simple calculation for me. 2 clicks = 150,000xp with field
10 clicks and 5 trips to town = 40,000 xp ea with specific
then spam the 1hr ones and then the 18hr ones
I guess the longer ones are cheaper
no they give more exp
They’re still 2 venture tokens
Ya I used to think ventures were rare but you can get a ton from company seals
With the Lodestone down, how will we know if they finish up early?
@viscid lake spam the client
We still get updates on #lodestone-news-na
there are still notices available on the lodestone page, you just can't login and do other stuff
How long is the main story
who uses xivlauncher here? is there anything special you have to do to update it for a patch?
XIVLauncher requires basically no input from you
just run it as usual
it will even autodetect when maint ends
provided you enable that feature by clicking the 🔄 button
like 160 hours or more
oh over 200hours easily

i dont remember i completed it in 5.1 
oh yeah sprout removal is like 300 hours of playtime now i think
Am dying here only so many delivery missions I can do
yep, get used to it 🙂
i finished shadowbringers at 700 hours and got my sprout removed only yesterday (that was when i was entering endwalker)
yeah but i was basically ONLY doing msq and playing like 8 hours a day
What button
The refresh button?
hey, ive been playing for close to 4 months now
and i only started heavensward story, yesterday
and i have 600 hours playtime
it all depends on what you wanna do
That probably going be me level 30 in all the crafting skills
lvl 30 in all crafting doesnt take long
Is that a mod, doesn't seem to be present on my client launcher
especially if you are in dragonsong war
oops meant to reply
The question was about XIVLauncher
!faq xivlauncher
looks like the maint is over now
Patch has been up for 30 mins
hacker voice
the game is up lol look at #general-discussion

How fast?
I was planning on lvling alt classes after I beat Endwalker, but I keep hearing that the DRK quests are amazing. I'm currently in the first leg of stormblood and I'm wondering would it be worth it to go back and start leveling DRK?
Like am I missing out on a bunch of a character interactions n stuff for myself and others if I wait to do DRK quests until I beat endwalker?
Do you like playing DRK?
You are not missing out on MSQ unique dialogue for playing DRK no
Haven't touched it but I like playing tanks
it's just worth it on its own merits as an isolated questline
I thought houses were today 😦
Gotcha. I definitely plan on playing it at some point I'm just unsure of when to pull the trigger
like an hour or less depending on method
Ah, thank you
if you want full immersion you could play it for shb
its up
That sounds like a good idea since my GNB is level 74 in stormblood so I'll definitely outlevel SHB by the time I get to there
is up
that sounds the way to go, thanks!
Dam how so fast took me like 30
was the 14 day already given?
At any point from today on
it'll given out sometime today and after
just crafting things in your log can get 1 class to lvl 15 in like 25 mins or something
Who gets it has been locked in
Do we have... All level 90 mount?
no
No
my sub just expired just now, i believe. will i still be able to get it?
You can check achievements for thay
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
See pins
Thats... Sad... Was expecting something from all 90
You needed an active sub
yeah, im kinda 50/50-ing about it. not really sure.
if you cant login then you prob didnt get it
Didn't get what? Free stuff?
damn,, imagine my luck lmao. that sucks. thanks
the 14 days
im still looking for me 14 days as well
Do I just need to have an active sub for that? Just subscribed yesterday again
the pins
does void reaping and cross reaping have positionals?
hi...how long it has been up?
!action void reaping
An unhandled error has occurred: 'Description_en'
If you believe this error to be a bug please report to the Kupo Bot Support Discord: http://discord.gg/4dpPFcWURA
Can't access the site, I'll check it later
Thx mate
@jagged wave if thats the enshroud gibbet/gallows then yes
no they don't
yup, weird wiki says they don
t
excuse me
oh
only the basic gibbet/gallows have positionals
also why is the potency for lemure's slice so low?
literally better to spam death's design rather than hit with this
it's an oGCD
200 is pretty normal
slice is single
slice = single target
it's an oGCD so potency isn't as high as a GCD
lemure's scythe is AoE
scythe = aoe
cause you weave it
what is an oGCD?
off global cooldown
abilities, you can use them during GCD
!faq weaving
so literally an extra move
Buttons with unique recast times
where does the raid questline start?
Lemure slice are just
sharlayan
Exactly, additional move inside your Enshroud
Okay so where do I go to unlock the new raid?
thats how all abilities are
so enshroud rotation is like Cross - Void - Cross - Void (and 2 lemure in between) + Communio
right
yes
ah kk ty
Don't do two lemure back to back after void or cross
sharlayan, baldesion annex
Hmm, what about loot? Don't the normal versions of the raids drop gear you can only get once a week?
yeah ik
they give tokens that you can exchange for loot
But only one token per floor per week
So 4 tokens each week
If you don't get the token you want, you can keep trying
Normal raid doesn't have as much restrictions as savage
I mean my problem is having the things to craft
Gatherers exist
the lvl 1-20 mats are sold in the guild
where's the token exchange npc
Radz
couldn't find it in radz
Have you unlocked the raid?
thanks
can every accesorry drop from any expert dungeon ?
or do specific dunegons have specifc slots
yes, all accessory slots can drop from all the 90 dungeons

Guys how hard is Astrologian to pick up now? If i'm new to healing
so the drops fixed and they all same in raids or they have some lil differences like before if there is is there any way to learn it
Previously, certain floors drop certain token, so there's a soft time gating on what pieces you can get
Houses will be sold via the lottery system, but is there any info on how apartments will be sold? Will that change or stay the same, meaning you can simply buy the apartment as long as there's still an empty one?
For example, previously, before Shadowbringers, only the 4th floor drop the chest token, and you needed 4 token for a chest armor
Astrologian is more complex than WHM/SGE, it has quite a few different things going on, but it's a potent healer so you can play inefficiently and still be fine
@daring wind apartment are very very very very very abudant
apartments aren't affected by the new housing lottery
Don't worry about it
because they are so plentiful
Thanks!
Going back to normal raid drop
Since Shadowbringers, all floors (1 to 4) can drop all the tokens
how to get new hythlodaeus hairstyle
Fair enough
his hairstyle isn't available to players
Correction: token drop is made significantly less restrictive so in effect there's no more time gating
If you want a chest piece, you can collect the chest token from each floor, and get it in one week
the old table doesn't look accurate for this new raid btw, already saw gloves on floor 1
we'll probably have to adjust, yes
I think it's likely everything drops everywhere
at least floor 1 dropped everything
2accs 1body 1leg 1glove 2helm 1boots iirc it was
what do u guys do in bozja to level, every time i run to a fate it dies to fast for me to get to it
is there like some set spawn path guide somwhere
Where does raid quest start
@leaden ginkgo check pin
for the latest raid tier
can i just pass on the token and just roll on the one i want
like roll on body and repeatly run raid 1 until i get it
yes you can pass until you get what you want
aight thanks
hi, could someone help me identify which characters some of these weapons are for?
mainly this one
this one
Bard?
AST
oh no i am stupid dont mind me
They’re grouped by roles
wdym
you can buy those on the market board
Top left tanks
i might buy the war axe
Bottom left melee dps
These are Byakko weapon
Top right ranged
they lok so cool
Just look up a video

Bottom right casters
And figure out what's what
I didn't know that Byakko Bard weapon looks like an erhu
Or a samisen
That's cool
🤌
It’s a lute thank you
Byakko weapon, without visual effect, can be dropped from Byakko ex, or trade with Byakko ex totems
Byakko weapons with visual effects are crafted with Byakko ex drops, but can be sold and purchased on the marketboard
The visual effect are ink strokes
the picture doesnt do them justice either, they have a cool lightning effect and paint brush black strokes when unsheathed
im looking at the art for the game
Go look up a video
and tryna think a bit more about what charcter class to play
Play it all
ive leveld paladin rogue and summoner/scholar to 35
but i think i want to stick with 1 and go thru the main quset
That’s how msq works
?
You level the one up, and the others later
ya
You can use msq to level one, and use daily roulette to have another job levelled on the side
i know there is a duty roulette
and one of the options is 'leveling'
but what does 'daily' mean?
For the first time you do it for the day you get a very lucrative bonus
Depending on the roulette
hmm
Leveling is exp
ok
The bonus is scaled to match your job
Even if the roulette put you in a super low level dungeon
It will make adjustment to the reward bonus at the end
To make it worth your while
Example, if your lvl 35 Paladin got into a lvl 18 dungeons via leveling roulette
The bonus rewarded by the roulette + the exp you get from the dungeon will be better than you doing a lvl 35 dungeon directly
Will Moonward be enough for 6.1 story stuff (dungeon/solo duty)?
Are you able to dye that bunny outfit set from the gold saucer?
does act break with new updates?
@tardy epoch would you like to know what other roulette is good for exp? Or would you prefer to ask later when you unlocked them?
Patch notes says they buffed dungeon exp from 80+ dungeons, anyone know how much it changed? 🤔
I know that in other expansion
Doing 7 or so dungeons, with armory bonus, will gain you two level
So about 3 runs on a dungeon matching your current level to get a level
I don't know the exp yield for Endwalker in 6.0 unfortunately
are poetics used in lv90 stuff?
o
so if I'm otw to 90 I don't need to worry about having enough to buy stuff for my main anymore, and can throw the rest onto my alts?
also how much should I worry about hitting lv90 before I finish the MSQ and all the extra exp going to waste?
(specifically, lvl 80 Poetic gears get out powered by lvl 84 gears)
That's very dependent on how one perceived the value of their time
If I have to put in a line for yoy
If you reached lvl 90 before you hit lvl 85 or 87 dungeon, then maybe consider getting an alt job to soak up the exp
Really really depends on how you feel about bringing two jobs
If you are on lvl 88 msq, screw it, finish msq
Yes
!item bunny bustier
Thank you!
Glad I can help
Anything new to buy with poetics or are relic mats still the way to go? I'm still in stormblood msq
Should be
But I cannot be absolutely sure
@neat drift nothing changed
Alright. How hard is it to get tomestones? Also has anyone done the math how many tomestones required for a full set?
You got pande to do
For either of them, it is not hard to earn, just do lvl 90 contents and do duty roulette with lvl 90 job
That’s free 580 gear
Normal raid is very casual
when can we buy plots in ishgard?
It is just a hair more challenging than, that lvl 90 trial
keep getting dx11 errors after patch anyone know how to fix
Or if you have done 83 or 89 ex trials, then normal raid will a breeze for you to learn and master
6.1 in probably March

can you dye weapons?
yes
If they're marked as dyeable yes

!faq dye
!faq dyeicons
Can't check the notes atm, are there new HQ craftable gear on 6.01 and if so, can they be bought on the market?
do the new raid have a lock out or you can farm it non stop
Is it still maintenance?
weekly lockout @crisp field
servers are up
servers have been up for a while now
so if i get a token from say P2, do i get locked out of getting tokens from P1?
guys where/which vendor do you change the anthocluster thingies for materia?
no
Hey. So I reached lvl50, got the class gear, will buy poetic gear when I get more. But the right side of my gear is so low level ! Where can I get better accessories ? Will the 2.1-2.5 quests give me some ?
2.1-2.5 will give some, but you can also use poetics to buy accessories when you get more
Ok thanks. Should I farm them, or I'll get more than enough with the MSQ ?
msq covers you just fine
Alright, thanks 🙂
This is a bit weird but why is it when you try on the ex2 pld weapons they don't glow but they do when you actually wear them
I haven't seen this kind of behavior before
It's nothing to do with lighting because they clearly glow even in sunny areas
can you put glamours on the robot as machinist? i like the look of the class and its weapons but im not 100% sold on the design of the robot
No
im on the wiki page scrolling through the <lvl80 weapons (i think they dont have the recent ones) for each class
once all beast tribe reputation are capped, is it worth doing ARR/HW beast tribes for leveling alt classes? I find them a little annoying to do compared to SB/SHB
and man machinist has so many cool guns
Try On window doesn’t show the glow correctly for some weapons
You can see this very easily with Padjali weapons from POTD
Ah I've never tried those on got it
Ex2 pld sword/shield looks so pretty it's a shame try on doesn't reflect it
guys where/which vendor do you change the anthocluster thingies for materia?
NPCs near the materia melders in Sharlayan and Radz-at-Han
thanks Wynne
what are your favorite/coolest weapons for the class that you mainly play?
I've been getting queer rubberbanding effects in FFXIV that makes me think I'm lagging, but all my buttons are still registered during the rubberband effect so that everything goes off on my screen all at once. ... Is this my GPU that's causing this?
i get that too alot, its your isp connection
GPU can't cause rubber banding
its client / server thingy
Make sure it's not your framerate either
but ya your GPU is pegged
I accidentally turned the fps cap off and my gpu was spinning up for like 500 fps, I don't even have a 120hz monitor
gpu being at 100% doesn't mean anything, if you are running uncapped
game runs more than fine at 60fps
but it is wasted power if you are well exceeding your monitors max refresh rate
Actually it doesn't, higher framerates have been known to cause glitching and instability in ff14, but that's usually into the triple digits and beyond
well, unless you want your computer to substitute as a heater in winter 😄
Are all the game's quests the same ? I am a bit tired of speaking to someone that tells me to speak to another person and then that person can't speak to me because he lacks of x component which when brought to him only leads him to be quiet because one stranger told him to not trust me (looking at you guillaime) ...
How far into the game are you?
fair enough, i run at under 100
MMOs dont really need high FPS, you dont really notice it
what do i do with my old tomestones...?
at least ones like FF, not action based mmos
i am doing lvl 40 quests
it gets better, the ARR MSQ does drag a bit with the fetch/back and forth quests
Thanks... My monitor is a good monitor, but a lot of my computer parts are older. Maybe I'll drop the cap down to 36 to experiment and see if it affects rubberbanding.
they removed a bunch of them around a year ago even
arr and hw were pretty slow quest lines, so i'm sorry for you in advance
i run mine at 1/2, my monitor is a 165, so i run at 82,
though, i find the FPS limiter in FF14 is pretty garbage, it has issues, so instead i limit it from the Nvidia control panel instead
Tbh the fact that it's slow isn't much of an inconvenience, it is more about the repetitive aspect of each quests, like it's the litteral same scheme for each step of the story :/
as we said, it is almost exclusively a server / client connection issue.
but quests in most games are pretty much just talking to npcs over and over
also, what do i do with my old tomestones?
hello I can't make a character on a server, are character creation unavailable along the non possibility to buy the game?
Well, i give you that lol
yeah is most likely to be a networking issue of some sort, especially if its really noticeable rubber banding, not something like stuttering
they're still in my inventory
server transfer is still down so i imagine new characters are also experiencing issues
if a server is full, you can't create a character on that server
I couldn't make one 10 hours ago and I can't make one now so I'm a bit worried
Will they give free server transfer? or just none at all and good luck to me
https://fr.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/you can check this website, on chaos there is currently three worlds where you can make new characters
you need to be able to login (with no queue), to be able to create a character
free server transfers are only given when new servers are setup
going from 120 to 60, you may notice it not being so smooth on casmera movements FYI
if you want to be able to create a character on a busy server, you will have to wait until off-peak times and create it then
I tried to make a character at 2 am and it was still full
pretty decent yes
wow... I was wondering all my stuff weren't selling
so all the HQ materials I was selling previously just turned invisible?
or something like that?
does getting kicked from the game due to afk add to ur penalty count??
HQ base materials were removed, in 6.0
and will not appear on the market, you need to remove then and downgrade them to sell them
Is Home world transfer down?
I believe so
what's the minimum amount of people u need in a party to clear sb extremes?
no, missing duty pops does.
all lvl 90 let's say
so I have one extra retainer available right now. Is there a way for me to say that I want the 4th retainer instead of the 3rd one as the extra?
Ok i need help
Lue-reeq is missing in crystarium and i checked both places and i cant start my role quest im already to ill mheg for the fae quests
I checked reddit and see a few others having the same issue does he show up later on?
Are you in ng+
No
Have you progressed the role quest line at all?
No
How far into ShB are you?
Im on the quest the lawless ones
Weird

i first ran into him at the bar
Checked there only role quest there are tank healer and magical dps
ya very weird
Can you screenshot your quest journal?
Check your completed quests, just to make sure
what lv are you ?
76
potd isnt even the best
i finished it
!faq altlvlguide
What idiot told you potd is the best exp
has it been changed (I suppose it happened with eden) that you can loot any normal mode piece on any turn? (ie chest on 1 2 3 4; not 4 only)
It's not even close and that's only when you've unlocked 51-60
whos that i need to check
My comp ss isnt working but heres a photo
do you have warrior of darkness completed ?
complete that one
Yes
I did
Very
That's literally their completed section of their question journal
Very click bait and misleading
i didnt know thanks then i will avoid him
I have no idea why he's so popular but he's infamous for misinformation
Im already doing il mheg questline
And bad advice
In msq
Go into the job quest section and there should be a section for role quests
what about No greater sport ?
Just read this
yeah i just thought maybe its worth when u have too big queues
since i play mostly at night
no greater sport is the next one after that i think ya ?
on eu servers
yeah but i meant even after that once a day
if it was worth
but apparently no so i wont spam it
its a daily, so its once a day
spamming it is pretty much a waist since it could throw you into an ifirt for like 1k experience lol
was it desperius...?
Ahhh been a while since we pulled that card
Shame the faq got removed
I just checked the role quest and its all there completed??? But this is a new character non boosted
Do gathering EXP boosts (such as scrolls and FC buffs) work with gathering EXP earned by custom and normal deliveries?
no, they only effect the exp you earn from gathering said item
doesn't affect the turn in exp
How do beast tribe allowances work if you're only allowed to do 3 dailies per day?
Which is negligible btw
There's multiple beast tribes
should I rather level another tank or get a regen healer so I have something I can play for ex trials`?
You do 4 tribes a day
Flip a coin
Oh right, I forgot, lmao.
Or less if you got a rank up
I thought that as well before I started doing leves. I got big amounts of XP for just completing the objectives + then I get the massive turn in EXP.
dude ya, thats a head scratcher
And the manuals don't effect those either
I'm not trying to gaslight you but odds are you just forgot
"those" as in turn-ins, or "those" as in mining levequest materials?
the leve turn in
The reward for handing in the leve
The level 80 quest is complete too and im lvl 76
Wut
screenshot? 
Role quest
they're 76
exactly heh
Well that's what I assumed, but mining materials required for levequests gave me plenty of EXP too and that's what I meant
Tf
Non boosted i played thru rr hw sb
Did you use a story boost at all previously?
No
For real send pictures
Okay that's really fucking weird
ye if you're doing leves, then using the manuals is pretty decent to do since you're double dipping essentially
Can someone give me a couple of very basic hints of how to progress through crafters/gatherers? There's so much info it's insane.
I have lvl 80 armorer/smither and I was leveling them without any leves and such, didn't know they are even in the game when I was leveling them
Can I ask error and game crashing here?
is there an actual way to check if the chracter has been boosted on SQE site ?
No
Any PS4 player taking a very long time with the update?
Anyone knows how much they increased the exp from lv81-89 dungeons?
Copying files after downloading usually takes abit
PS4 sucks like that
Yeah it's super slow
wtf i have been queueing from server up and i havent got in yet holy wow
Whats ur que at
It may be stuck bugged
dude thats long time
id retry queing
start at 1756 and now its 1456 so within 1 hour, its only go down by 300
Oh thats pain
Server is probably full
well if its moving then i spose its still going
Well, nobody answer if its okay or not, so Im going to just post this. My friend got this error, anyone know this problem?
if it goes down by 300 every 1 hour, by the time i can get in, i might as well go to sleep lmao
Recommend setting timer and taking a nap
loooks like.... direct x?
I got that yday as I shut down FFXIV, but because it's working and it was at exit I didn't bother caring much.
the error literally means nothing unfortunately, just that something went wrong
only the devs would know what
directx9 is not stable, the devs have said that it isn't properly supported/developed, you should not be using directx9
its old
update DX if you can
what should I buy with white crafter scrips right now?
I appreciate your input.
My Internet is certainly not the best, but the rubberband effect I am accustomed is where both incoming and outgoing traffic was severely delayed. Not only would there be almost a "backup" of incoming data, but there would be an inability for me to do anything because I'd have to wait for the server to receive my outgoing data telling it what button I pressed.
I wasn't trying to ignore the idea that it is an issue with my ISP, or even ignore the idea that there is some sort of issue with my home network.
But there are two reasons that cause me to wonder if there aren't other causes of rubberband effects: One, my inputs are being registered server-side; it's only my client that is experiencing a delay in processing what the server knows to be happening. Two, the ping -t command I've been monitoring in the background reports to me my ISP connection is normal.
It may very well be a network issue of some sort, but I'm just trying to see the problem from a different perspective.
not sure if it help but according to https://dotesports.com/mmo/news/how-to-fix-an-unexpected-error-has-occurred-in-final-fantasy-xiv
*If that’s the case, the only solution will be to restart the game a few times, until it disappears. It’s caused by a high amount of players trying to log in at once.
Otherwise, it can be an issue relating to a conflict with some background processes of your platform or the game’s files. In this case, the basic fixes will still be to restart your platform, launcher and game, as well as troubleshoot your home network. *
the wiki surprisingly know this ff14 error, might want to check it too
https://wikiresolve.com/how-to-fix-error-ffxiv_dx11-exe-solved/
Going from 144 to 36 is definitely a drop in smoothness, but it's for science. And my one dungeon run I just did didn't produce that rubberband effect. Will have to increase my sample size, though.
Same as there 7 in shadowbringers
Cool , if it works out pls let us know. its helpful.
ping to some arbitrary address, like your ISP, or google, doesn't mean much, since the data takes a different path for each service, it only tells you the common path is good, anything beyond that is unknown
ping to your ISP, only tells you your connection out to the wider internet is good at the start, tells you nothing about beyond that
find the IPs for Ff14 servers, and ping those, they aren't 100%, perfect, but will be a much more realistic test
!faq datacenter
is it fine to pick up ast as my first healer job? it looks cool and i don't wanna go through early leveling
!faq datacenterip

Is there a way to increase the amount of progress you make when synthesizing an item? (Other than Veneration.)
can someone refresh me what direct hit rate again?
Any synthesis skill
So, there's no attributes that help?
Craftmanship
read your tooltips 😛
Many thanks.
We don't know yet
also they may use cleint side prediction physics...not sure to mask lagging / RB'ing effect.
when can i ask again then
could anyone tell me if its possible to have 2 completely seperate installations of ffxiv?
When people have done dungeons
why would you want 2 separate installs
because i do? xd
In a day or two, people want to do other shit
i can't think of a reason, unless ur modding the game files in some way
what does the reason matter? i have a shared pc with various drives
im just asking if its possible
:o
how many level 90 dungeons are out atm? 3?
because sometimes people think they need something, when they dont
i work in IT/tech support, i usually ask WHY before just giving someone something
sure, where thers a will theres a way 🙂
Yes
i have no idea if its possible, so can't help you there
omg I love you. I've been pinging ip addresses from people who said "I think this is the ip adress." I've been pinging the correct ip address, but knowing I'm pinging the correct place feels a lot better.
one way off the top of my head is using a VM
no prob 😄 there is also a website which has more addresses for datacenter servers, if you search for ff14 server status in google, one of them has a bunch of IPs somewhere, can't remember which thou, but the basic ones we have here should be enough i hope
All the NA servers are in the same place anyways, right
id assume so??? maybe some are on east coast and some west, like different datacenters are different places
someone else may know the specifics if they are separate
is melding haphazardly better than no melding at all
yes melding combat stats is better than nothing
where do you go to redeem the item you get from latest raid
Can someone help me out every time i start the game a error message pops up and i cant play
How do I get rid of these icons the 3 in brackets and the padlock off my ui?
even if I meld a IX where a X could go
the stats are all somewhat close, some are certainly better, but the difference isn't gonna be +30% dmg
post the error message, screenshot if you can
otherwise we have no idea 😄
IX is only for overmelding, which is only on crafted gear
I seem to have deleted all my VIIIs
error ?
This is it
if you don't overmeld(standard gear), then use VIII, or X if you can afford
just buy some more VIIIs then
they're like 50g on my server
hey is there an ultima extreme trial ? or is it "the minstrel's balad: ultima's bane" (which was rly easy IMO)
unfortunately that doesn't mean much, its just a generic "something went wrong" error 😦
try verifying the game files, rebooting if you haven't already
Speaking of where do I even change DX settings? I think I already have everything at highest possible, but wouldn't hurt to check
if you have the quicklauncher/xivlauncher (3rd party game launcher), it has an integrity check built in you can also try
Minstrel ballad = extremes
ok
thanks
ah so sad thanks
no prob, its under the settings menu on the first page "run integrity check"
im not sure how good it is, but easier than redownloading 😄
its in the launcher settings menu
by default its on dx11
Ah ok should be good then, don't wanna relog now lole
if you use the quick launcher, its under settings > game settings
Is there a custom deliveries for 81-90?
Oh nvm can open launcher whilst game is open so all good. and yes DX11 is on. Yay
yeah, you can run multiple versions of the game, but not login to all of them of course
i launch a 2nd version sometimes to try out new character looks, without having to logout
you can use the character creator, because that doesn't count as logging in
no new custom delivery NPC, but they all scale up to 90
I see. How to get purple gatherer scrip?
gather 90collectables(customs at 90 also give them)
I see. Thanks!
Quick, where do you convert your Shb tomestones to Poetics?
mor dhona
my subscription time ended overnight (EU time) and I'm considering if renewing it or waiting a bit. has the check for time compensation already happened? The announcement says it's the 21st at 12:00 am PST and it's currently 03:43 PST. Apparently 12:00 am usually means midnight, so is it the mignight at the start of the day, ~4h ago, or the midnight at the end, ~20h from now?
can we buy other stuff besides tome gear with tomestone of aphorism? or not out yet
if all else fails you could roll back your PC to prior to error and then retry to DL the Patch files again .
but before to DL patch files make sure to do windows update for DX
dont know what that means but ill google it
Is there any way to increase how much rep you get towards beast tribes?
ya just google system restore
and it will walk you throughh how to do it, hoping you still have a restore point saved from before the error occured
no, just gear atm, materials come with savage for the new crafted gear
Ty!
No
Rip.
12:00am pst actually passed 4 hours ago, so no, youve missed the deadline sorry
they made it line up with the 6.01 patch maintenance basically
does ffxiv run on mac
yes
does it run good?
cant tell you how well, but there is a mac version
although it requires a separate license iirc?
wait what
you need to buy ffxiv for mac to play it on mac
i cant use my sqenix acc?
you can, IF you buy the mac version
you can use your same account
you can buy ALL the versions on teh same account
but you need to buy a new license for the game
do i also buy the dlcs???
yes
