Prioritising the experience for the customers they have
the augmented shire gear doesnt have that, its traded in idyllshire with hismena
Thus, trial players can only stay as trial players (putting them in a low priority queue behind paying players) and people not currently playing the game cannot buy in at all
Hoooow do I learn when I can play the game
No one knows
We will find out this week
All we can say
You wait and pay attention to news
Inb4 it's just an extension of the sales freeze
How much to keep ready?
nvm
If you want that nice neat everything-UI, find the shop in Ishgard
Starter is 20$ standard
But it should have the class filters even in Idyllshire
thx!
Just wasted 50 bucks smh
Just can't use it yet
Well you'll have the dlc when you can buy the base game
Well, if you'll be playing the game when sales resume it won't be wasted
I’m so disappointed
But you should have checked what you were buying
They all say this
What do you mean check lol I have never even heard of something like this
Reading the product page for what you're buying
I literally could only find out from you guys who are on discord playing the game lol
@strong elbow this kinda proves otherwise
The Latest Expansion
Yes, yes it is
There's a magical thing called asking and reading store pages
No it isn’t
It’s showcased as a game that you can buy for 40 bucks on the big page
It has the default man face on it
It takes your money first lol
And in the details is where you read the information
Of course it's on the big page
When you click that you go to the product information page
Whatever
Bro why would ANYONE read that when buying a game on PS4 lol this is not a PC this is bs and yea yea I didn’t snail pace read for a blindside from saugy servers lol
This certainly isn't an ideal situation with the suspension of sales but there were ways to mitigate this issue
So they don't do what you just did
just need to wait till started edition is released
Obviously
Any update on Home World Transfer Service?
No
Damn...
I’ll wait I’m just salty that’s stupid to me like honestly
Ah I got other games I play no biggie
anyone here installed on win 11?
downloading the game and its says some files are deleted?
not sure if these are important or not
oh wait what lol
Windows 11 is still pretty new, most games don't support it
it should run but yeah can run into issues, although these files look like they're just temp download files
which 10 also deletes
like that's just what the launcher does
what jobs are good for spamming combat voice lines?
If by combat voice lines you mean you're gonna macro lines to your skills please don't
you're a monster
That's only slightly better and I still hate you
but yes, phys ranged are very noisy jobs
😼
Is there a leveling up guide for blacksmith and weaponsmith? I just started.
has anybody minmaxed mining collectables maps/schedules for stormblood?
Have to turn them in in multiples of 10
Need multiple of 5
ahh
5 for the special nodes
can i get a tldr for second chance point pls
sooo i'm thinking of leveling a dps other than summoner. what would be a good job right now that does decent damage yet also has lots of team support?
how do i get approved by the house of splendors for radz-at-han

Do all of these, it's a chain
thank you
used for wondrous tales, allows you to set a task to unfinished and another random one to finished. two can be used to shuffle stickers.
you get the points by running duty finder content with people doing any given duty for the first time
how do I decipher maps?
You right click them
Do the quest in wineport to unlock it
type /actionlist -> general -> decipher
i says i got 9/9 how do i get acces to this ?
Treasure and tribulations
That means you're full
well yeah, thats the download folder,the game client downloads the game files then unzips them into a different folder,then deletes the download
unlock wondrous tails in idyllshire if you haven’t already, and then you can use them with the “Retry” and “Shuffle” options in the wondrous tales journal you receive
is it tales or tails? who knows, i certainly don’t
Tales.
WELL it's a pun on tales
because you're gathering your own tales, and Khloe is a catbaby who has a tail
Guys, uhmm, why can't I hear my notes during Performance actions?
I've just unlocked this yesterday, but when I play it, I can't hear anything but the ingame ambient
What should I do?
did you turn off performance audio in the audio settings?
Let me check
ANYWAY, if you have 9/9 points, that's the most you can get. Just head to Idyllshire to unlock it, and it'll give you a slate of content to complete each week for some guaranteed experience + goodies and a chance at additional rewards if you can make certain shapes with the stickers.
I know that, if I have a masterbook learned it won't let me buy another. But what about if I have a masterbook not learned but its' in my chocobo/retainer. Will it still let me accidentally buy a book?
are my market board items suspended while my retainer goes on a venture?
If it won't let you buy it you already have it unlocked
No
That's not what I asked...
thx, this scared me
Your retainer is very good at multitasking
I want to know if it will let me buy it while I have the very same book in my chocobo bag even though i haven't learned it
You can use one Second Chance point at any time to reset a completed activity to an uncompleted state (and change another random uncompleted one to completed), or you can use two points to shuffle around the positions of completion stickers provided you have between 2 and 7 stickers.
I've been buying 90 books
Only when you talk to them, when you quit, they will return to their venture. They even said it themselves
Okay
So
Fun fact
You CAN waste scrips buying a fucking book that you haven't learned if you have it on a chocobo
For a visual reference, this is mine currently
Fucking lovely
I believe so
Cuz someone did that with puff of darkness and got a dead slot on their retainer
you can, once you've learned the book
i assume not 90 yet
yup, all unique items function this way
Because my crafters not 90 yet
This is stupid-ass coding lol wtf
ur awesome thank you
So now I have 2 goldsmithing books
if put in another inventory, they allow you to earn another
and I can't discard either of them
Ah I see
do i have to complete levequest in order to rotate new ones in?
reddit says it doesnt change based on time but it's a comment from 8 years ago
You do, yes.
okay
They're fairly quick, though.
im very low on the allowance thingy
those regenerate over time, slowly
I wouldn't use levequests for leveling, though, despite the name.
hey if I die during a treasure hunt do I lose the treasure??
Yes
If you wipe yes
Not die
Kill them
ok like potions or something?
Be the maps level
i was level 90 and they were level 80
did it say you should being a group?
It was a 8man map
oh.
:/
Says in the tooltip and map location
so like do a recruitment thing?
Or friends
get a group, however you want to
yeah ideally do it with people you trust or can agree with on how to do loot
You can do Map owner need rules
whats that?
Plus you're getting a chunk of gil + Random mats for doing it anyway
some ppl run groups where everyone has to bring a map
Map owner needs is literally what it means
i have people in a Linkshell who do that
this sounds confusing, is there a video explaining etiquette?
Literally map owner needs = they need on loot everyone else pass
Literally what it says on the tin
idk what you mean by tin
what's a really good GC seal farm?
I'm thinking innocence because he's super easy and his accessories go for like 1k each.
It means it's self explanatory
Whatever shit you get in your daily roulettes
idk what "map owner need rules" means, like that I have to divvy up the loot when we get it?
during SHB, I use sirensong sea undersized
sell all green gears to GC, as lv 90, you could aim for higher dungeon probably
As in map owner rolls need, everyone else rolls greed
Technically everyone else can roll need, but this is a gentlemen agreement
Map owner can choose to pass or greed if they don't feel like needing that particular loot
This gives everyone else who greed a shot at the items
Does this mean I can't add anymore heavens eye materia 1 onto this sphere scroll? I can't add HE materia 2 either, so do I need to add a max of all the other materia 1 first? I may be stupid
@light trail no

A maximum of five attributes may be infused
Red text
Right in front of you
I see that but idk what that means
You can only have 5 different attributes on the scroll
Your weapon can only store 5 different kinds of stats
I understand that this is just for glamour and not stat
Yes
But that piety and tenacity meld
Look I just use any grade 1 materia I can get my hands on
And I can't buy from market board cause free trial
You just keep on adding more of those 5 stat
Well that's too bad
Skill speed, tenacity, determination, etc
Cuz you still have to follow the 5 attribute limit
So you can only do those 5 attributes now
Ohh I see now ty
why can't I edit loot rules?
Cuz that's for dungeons and raids etc. It doesn't apply to maps
@urban grotto treasure hunt can't have loot rules
On maps it's just a trust and etiquette thing
ah ok.
Any loot rules you just type it out and trust players to follow it
The norm is "map owner need"
Or "free for all"
gotcha, thanks
Do this with a NPC north east of black brush station
Feed the machine with 5 materia, and it will give you a new materia and it is guranteed to not overlap with the 5 you gave it
can I only get one kind of map per day?
ok
Check your timers
ok, thanks!
what ACT UIs would yall recommend? Using Mopi Mopi, but not quite a fan since it doesn't seem to show much
That's more of a personal taste overlay. I use the Horizon overlay because it displays things in a way I like, but that's going to be different for everone
mopi mopi only has the class icons with a dps/hps number, and i cant seem to get it to do other stuff lol
Hello! I'm simply just wondering how to get here
The pathway I'm at now is blocked off and I don't believe I can get through the entrance on the far left
maybe the config i copied is royally borked if thats the case tho
Could someone explain the stats on FFlogs?
!faq fflogsdps
- neutral DPS (nDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- adjusted DPS (aDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
what's an all star point?
some arbitrary metric afaik
not important unless you want to stroke your ego that you got all the good girl points
Could I post a screenshot of the stats?
And someone explain what like best % means?
I see
so if you got a 99.0%
it means you're better than 99.0% of other Sages that uploaded a log for that fight
Ok
I was just wondering cause someone I played with linked me my profile in chat
thanks for the help!
When does weekly reset happen (time)
!weekly
ty! I had a feeling it changed!
It hasn't
Has there been any hint as to when server transfer will return? Returning to the game and of course all my pals are on a different data center.
No
Oh maybe thats daily thats in the later morning
do you earn the same amount of exp when doing a 4-person dungeon as part of a trust group vs as part of a 4-player group?
!daily
yea :p
#kupo-bot-spam
Yes
Not including exp bonuses like rested exp etc etc.
yes if you do specific ones. but just use levelling q?
Levelling is only good once a day
I'm trying to learn Scholar so I'd like to do it with NPCs who won't give me grief for being bad.
personally i'd try scholar out in a low level dungeon then increment higher to get used to its kit
since trusts start at... 71
I guess you could squadron but ehhh
really? i thought it always gives more exp
No
Daily bonus
the dungeon itself gives decent xp if u get something close to your level, but the daily bonus is huge
amdapor keep
1000 maws
stone vigil
brazil
90002
so i just q for the ones in level range after 1 daily levelling q?
Yes
roulettes are only worth doing once a day
the highest non level cap dungeon (50/60/70/80/90)

hey just out of curiosity did you manage to find people? I tried finding for gazelleskin and only found 2 people :(
So I'm coming back from taking a very long break from the game(since 2019) and I pretty much forgot the controls on ps4/5 alltogether, I'm lvl 30ish, and skipped allot of of a realm Reborn from taking the ShadowBringer upgrade, so does New Game+ let me continue on, and still get exp from doing the missions over again?
You don't get exp from quests in ng+
i don't know, i skipped allot of a realm reborn missions so im trying to figure that out, if replaying those quests will give me exp or not?
agh, didn't see that thanks
If you're story boosting a job boost is pretty much mandatory
You get nothing from NG+ other than the experience of reliving the story
so what would be my best course of action then, they're lvl 22 and just fought ifrit, and i don't really know if i missed out on allot of exp or not
where are the tribe sahagin?
yeah, i story boosted through Realm reborn I believe
western(?) la noscea
ty
!faq altlvlguide
follow that
Boosting arr is recoverable, you can pick up dungeons to get to 50 easy enough
If you had story skipped to ShB that would need 70 and that's a lot more work
story skipping doesnt level your job
yeah, my dragoon job is lvl 30, and Black Mage is 34, Thats why I was curious if i should just make a new character, and work through it on their world again
Basically @tropic vortex, ng+ won't give you exp, but you just need to get your job to 50 to continue the msq and that's pretty easy to pull off
if you care about the story at all then i would just make a new character
That's a valid way to go too
The choice is yours in the end
alright, thanks. I tried making a new character on Lumia, but it wouldn't let me lol
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
I think you're posting in the wrong channel
I got a question, only way to play the game is to buy an expansion ?
You have to buy the base game, which isn’t being sold currently
i got real luckey bought it like 2 weeks before the nightmare!!
Dang that’s wild I was trying to get my boy to join before I start getting into the 60s lol
We're getting an update this week
But for all we know that'll just be them informing us that sales will be remaining closed
Said he couldn’t find the game in the psn store but the games always been free for me except the monthly
why is ff14 servers always full? always on like 30+ q just to play? how small are the servers? or just really huge players base?
Simple answer
Ahh, sheesh
90,000 plus players i believe
damn its literally full 24 hours
I s2g if the next message is why didn't they buy more servers
i know why!! i'm playing on an rx460
Lol
for someone completely new to tanking would you recommend pld or drk
So if he buys the 40$ bundle with all the expansions he still won’t be able to actually play the game ?
Pld
ok ty
That's not a bundle that's just the latest dlc
The because its all linear they only ever sell the latest expansion to prevent people buying dlc they can't play
That’s mad wild
And yeah that would be dlc for a game he don't got
Growth and popularity are insane
They could have kept selling and made the experience worse for everyone but they stopped selling to prioritise the experience for the players they already had
I never even bought the game I had a free version from 2015 on my console they let me redownload and update
And it’s letting me play last 50 lol
Past**
do your trust companions level over time the more dungeons you do?
You said you pay a sub so it sounds like you just own the base game, which was upgraded to include the first expansion back in 5.3
Not exactly
If you're doing them in companion mode then yes
I didn't think so, but it shows that they just level to 72 after I finished holminster switch so I got confused.
Wow, well thanks for the help. And yeah I pay a sub fee I’m just so in shock never heard of mmo doing that
The producer/director actually gives a shit about the playerbase
Shocking nowadays I know
What's the difference between companion and scenario mode?
Scenario doesn't give exp to your companions. And won't count as progress towards achievements
Scenario is just the people that were there for the story
And unlockables
Which are different glamours for the trust companions
Like thancread in his hw gear
Glad I decided to chime in now, and not never
I honestly thought this community was kinder ngl. Tonight I’ve done a few duties and I’m new to tank, usually I’m a good tank but tonight i keep losing aggro and idk how. Like I hit them all they follow me, I use provoke and everything and they still just don’t bother with me and istfg people have been horrible about it (mostly dps) and this is why I didn’t wanna play tank lol
There's a noclip documentary on what he did for the game that I'd recommend looking into
Stance
It’s on
Do you have your stance on?
Yes
hey quick question :), a friend of mine can't see fireworks consumables and that kind of stuff, is there a setting that disables that kind of stuff? thanks in advance 🙂
And are you continuing to aoe the enemies while you move?
Are you sure you have stance on, it turns off every time you sync down to enter a dungeon
Yes I’m sure
Well unless you're heavily undergeared you should be fine as long as you're actually hitting the enemies
when I am leveling my character in scenario vs avatar mode, is there an experience-gained difference for myself? Not my avatars, just me.
And all my healers I’ve been put with heals me like when I’m almost dead
Being the first to trigger aggro range doesn't count
No
They do damage until I’m about to die then they can’t keep me healed and I used all my cool downs because they ain’t healing me
Is there anyway to disable "Do you want to interact with this object?" "Yes"?
That's how healing in ff14 works, your job is to keep the party alive, not at 100%, if you don't need to heal you're expected to dps
in the dgs most tank seem to just click on the door and it opens without asking yes/no.
nope! have fun.
But when I die I get blamed cause they didn’t heal me?
there's addons but afaik they disable the yes/no prompts globally which is.... rather dangerous, imo.
Could just be a shitty group, its a shared responsibility
It is 3 random people of varying skill
It’s been non stop tonight
Could also depend on how you're popping your cds, prepopping them is inefficient, as is popping them all at once
Arms length is also a CD for trash mobs
Healers just dam and don’t bother healing and I usually die and then they blame me and I’m like heal??
Well without seeing actual gameplay we can't say anything for sure
Also like were they a shield or pure heal
I'm not saying that
But all we have is your word and you admit yourself that you're new
So we don't know what's going on
I was legit enjoying this game so much and tonight I just dk how I feel bout it
I’m a new tank
I main healer
It's also off hours in europe
Ima look into that
So you're stuck with the dregs
my game crashed immediately and i get this error:
Dregs? 😂
If you want some tanking basics tips weskalber has a VERY in depth video
Ty ^^
are collectables part of gathering resplendent achievement?
where does heavensturn event quest start?
340 unique items
Yes
limsa, upper decks
Limsa, aftcastle aetheryte point
Lol I recognise that pfp

so im a new player to ff14, ive finished endwalker yesterday and did the 4 circles of the raid today and wanted to start making friends to do the harder content since from what i heard party finder isnt quite the best place for that. what should be the first step for finding a home in a free company or other community?
should I consider level and story skipping my elemental alt?
thats what they are intended for
but also its good if you play at non peak times there
!faq communityfinder
I don't have the energy to go through everything on my alt all over again but it's kinda expensive
do you work or are you still in school
wokey
There's no set schedule cuz ng+ was new to shb
That said we know ew ng+ is coming in 6.1
@warm snow just done a mission and I was fine again and done the same stuff, maybe just bad groups
Dungeon ^
Yeah I’d say so. I don’t expect a healer to heal me 24/7 cause that’s silly but leaving me with no health and making me use all my cool downs then blaming me when I’m dead cause the healer didn’t heal ain’t it lol
as with all things, its a balance
if i cleared p2s and i didnt get any loot can i do it again or do i have to wait for next reset
you'd have to wait for next reset
pain
why am i getting charged tax even though im in crystarium
because they removed the 'no buyer tax when in same city as retainer'
so you're always charged the buyer tax, regardless
it was removed like...5.3 or something
hey, how do you do unsync'd alliance raids? It says you need 3 parties of at least 1 person, but... how do you queue with multiple parties like that??
Pf with alliance option
unsyncing alliance raids isn't really... feasible, imo
Hey what level do I get the first bit of dark knight armor that is actually you know dark? I just started leveling.
unless you're a tank queues for alliance raids are quick.
@twilit arch thx
Some of them have minimum player counts for mechanics though. Labby is minimum 9 (4 on 2 buttons).
Not sure i remember minimum for weeping city boss 2, phase 2 (portal) atmos but might be 6
fairly certain you need 1 person per pad for weeping city
it didnt have a really high requirement
Monastery is dumb unsynced since last boss script is enforced hard even of push to 0 hp
how can I tell if I already have a master crafting book or whatever? before buying it
you can't buy master books you already have
oh gotcha
specifically you can't buy master books you've already learned
Try to buy it and will get a duplicate error
if you have bought it, but not used it (cos you're not the correct lvl) you can buy dupe
so i would suggest waiting until you're max before buying master recipes
i think the books in shb and ew are marked unique so you can't buy more than one
aye, they are
oh well that way yeah
Is there a zone chat? I need help with a Fate, and I don't know how to go about finding it.
Yeah... i made the painful mistake of buying 3 books i already had back in ShB...
because those books were in my chocobo saddle, the game allowed me to buy them
/shout is zone wide
Zone chat is shout /sh
that's 3.6k white scrips gone 😦
the heck? this is randomly floating here. what is it?
Sage particle glitch i think?
Might be related to an old bug where visual effects would be in the environment (housing areas especially) in stormblood
Yeah, Sage’s effect bug seems to happen a lot

The trick is only buying the books when you hit level cap.
That way you can use them immediately without worrying about wasting them or buying extra.
What to do with poetics?
If you use a skill that makes your damage higher, and then a DoT, does the damage get higher for the duration of the DoT or your damage bonus only?
When you apply a DoT, the system looks at the buffs you have on you and debuffs the target has on it at that moment in time, and the strength of the DoT is set at that level for the full duration.
So even after those buffs expire, DoTs applied while they're active will still be ticking at that strength.
Oh damn, so lost chainspell + flare star is OP then
Can I unlock gunbreaker on my retainer if I get a DoW to 60? Else I would just stick with mining
I don't think that class is available to retainer
When does the weekly reset for savage loots occur today?
!faq weekly
oh wrong faq
i believe you have to level the retainer on a battle class to 60, then change them to gunbreaker, you must have levelled the class yourself to 60 as well
https://screenrant.com/final-fantasy-xiv-change-retainers-job-guide/
!weekly
wrong channel, don't mind me
ty
How long does it take to complete eureka starting from scratch?
no you have to be at least level 76 to turn in a level 76 quest
the rule is fungible at very low levels
you can turn in some level 5 quests as level1
but for the most part it stays true
Hey y’all, is it better to save roulette XP for DPS jobs instead? Context: level 81+
Say queuing as a tank for MSQ praetorium gives you an entire level, but I could insta queue 2 dungeons for more XP in less time right?
hey, im having issues with my endwalker xpac code i just bought it and it keeps saying its invalid! im super frusterated maybe some one can shine some light on my issue!! ❤️
Do you own the base game.
i do indeed
Dumb suggestion but have you tried typing instead of copy pasting the code? I remember having some issues copying it from my mail before.
i have done that too!
are you sure you’re putting the code in the right menu
im wondering if its because it was sent to one email instead of the other
anyone around i can just stream for ya if you got a minute to try and help
If i instance into p4s right before reset will it forfeit the loot on previous floors? :)
i wouldn't suggest streaming you entering your product key to strangers
like going in at 2:58 am ET
i wont put in the code just maybe its the wrong spot idk
considering finishing daily roulette after rollover counts as next day, probably yes
Enter Expansion Registration Code right at the top of the page
Yeah, it's based on when you clear, not when you enter.
welp ill keep googlin thanks for the help yall 🙂
I just switched to the Windows client, but everytime I change adjust my window size, it completely alters my UI organization and spacing. Anything I can do about this?
stupid question: how long until I can make a charatcer on say mateus?
Do you think it'll be opened anytime soon?
we dont know you might be able to if you get on at a time when less people are awake in the timezone
I see. Well, damn. I guess i'll go back to FFXI until it'savailable.
no because the UI size is fixed based on resolution instead of window size
so UI elements will always by x by y pixels
Hello, so I really want to try playing bard for the fact you can play music. Is there a place that can kind of give me a music sheet of a song I want to play
No, most people use a third party program
To play there songs
Think it’s called bard midi player or something
did you buy the code on the correct platform?
where do you play, PC? Steam? PS4?
you can't mix codes on different systems, and you can't mix region codes either,
so if on PC (not steam) you have to buy the code on the right SE store, that matches the region your account is registered in
if you bought the wrong one, you can't use it
if you have not bought STARTER edition Endwalker cannot be redeemed.
It's an expansion for a game you do not own.
So the only option is to create multiple HUD setups? At least one of the four has to be reserved for backup when changing things up, in case I screw up majorly
probably. or just don't resize the window /shrug
Is it possible to make the UI elements sharper? They’re pretty blurry at 4k
did you enable high rez UI elements
Yes. Different than High res scaling?
yes
different setting
it give higher res UI textures really
you will need to restart the game though
requires a relog though
Is that worth for 1440p?
yes
I use it at 1080p lmao
i use it and im on 1440p, it makes UI less blurry
expecially if you increase the scale of some windows
Ima do that asap then
like Triple triad board which is too small at 100% on a 1440p 27 inch monitor
Okay. Logging in/out is a once a day event on Gilgamesh, especially this at this hour
you can right click the top of most windows and change scale fyi, some ppl dont realise that
Ah rip. I'm on PS4 so that might be hard to do lol
I just switched from HD console to 4k 32 inch and I feel like I’m swimming in space. I’m finding it a challenge to adjust my HUD so I can see all my info. I wish people posted their HUD setup for various resolutions
I spent all of my login time adjusting my HUD
overmelded crafted is best for week 1/2 prog
then you just gradually replace with tomestone gear and savage raid pieces
when I first played this game I spent 3hours on my hud
I already spent at least 3h adjusting the HUD for console

Sometimes I feel like I spend more time working on macros, adjusting my HUD, trying to figure out what different settings do, or creating lists of materials (and their locations) I need than playing
@velvet drum you know you can make the UI bigger
Yes. I’m new to PC and console. But I’ve figured out a few things. I still haven’t figured out how to make auto run in legacy mode less difficult to use
Ty
I dislike Squenix’s model for how they reveal info in their active help. It works in single player FF games, but not in this game. Is there some site which goes over the character configuration settings?
wym
theres this
But what do settings like character turn speed do? I changed it from 0-100 and didn’t notice a difference
didnt notice a difference when you were moving your character?
No
were you pressing Q or E
Controller
it controls the camera speed movement iirc
I got the darklight accessories of casting from the final npc quests from ARR pre ultimate weapon but since I changed to my paladin, I Want to get the darklight accessories but of the fending version. Which would be the easiest way to get them? So far Im grinding Lost City of Amdapor...
Also, I noticed when I switched to PC, I couldn’t rotate the camera 360 while in battle (legacy mode)
Just buy ironworks
Can the "Material Container (expansion number)" contain repeats of mounts you already own?
Yep
you mean you couldnt turn the camera around with your mouse?
just run all roulette once a day
it will give you 1k+ poetics per day
Right Controller stick
oh wait you haven't finished Praetorium?
I have
like it just stops or what
I misread maybe
then just run all roulettes once a day
yeh, even pvp one give poetics
I think I only got, levelling, scenario, pvp, 50/60/70/80
and Im still on free trial :/
oh right, you haven't unlocked alliance raid yet
yeah I think I didnt have
What's something 1-65 botany/mining that always sells moderately well?
ishgard resto stuff probably
Yo, these Kiaser knuckles zeta look incredible, are they hard to get?
cosmetics, crafting materials, dye
Mounts? 😮
zeta is tough yeah
not hard but very grindy
What's all required for the zeta version?
Holy christ
I did my book step once a day, took probably 1-2 hours each
we werent fucking around
and you need 9 books
Idk if worth tbh
well but you got a rare claw 😁
TRying to find a cool glam for my monk weapon
and you got a "Z" title too
i thought Z was from blu
Dunno if i wanna spend 2 weeks grinding for it
no Z is Zodiac weapon afaik
oh
New to the game. I know I'm asking this to the Crystal Datacenter but I'd like to consider all three of the NA centers. As to the question;
Any recommendations on servers that seem to strike a healthy balance of RP and Hardcore Raiding in the community? If it's a dumb question then I'd even just welcome stories of great interactions that'd make you recommend a given server!
all of them
although crystal has slightly more RPers and slightly less hardcore raiders
Is the current extreme trails supposed to show up in the party finder?
If I'd want to have more ilvl for one job, should I use all of my weekly normal raid farming to get the more gear pieces possible? or do the ones that need more tokens (body, legs) weight more in ilvl calculation?
If you just want more ilvl then you should get as many gear pieces as possible. But if you want to do savage raid then you should think about their stats as well.
Not sure what's the purpose of getting ilvl here though?

get the minimum to enter P2S with my AST, for now I can only enter with my DRG, but in my static I'm healer and I have 572 with AST
You have to unlock it first. Depends on the trials, but many of them are available to unlock via a NPC calls the Wandering Minstrel.
If you have a static then it's no big deal. You can enter it without the ilvl requirement, no?
Are there class specific discords currently?
Yes. It stops in either direction at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock when I’m targeting in combat
calibrate your controller in system config
Is that true? If I enter with a preformed party, ilvl requierement for Savages is ignored?
Can i put an item on the market for my other character to buy it ?
iirc yeah. A long time ago when I have a static, many people did that since they can pick optimal items instead of gaining ilvl.
no it only unlocks the roles
Hmm it no longer does that, eh?
I see, i guess I remembered wrong then
I have calibrated multiple times. I am getting right analog stick drift with my Xbox controller, so I’ve calibrated it maybe ten times before I learned it was endemic to FFXIV and modern Bluetooth controller and the only solution is to connect it by usb
but is it true that if I wanna have more ilvl, I can use my normal raid weekly tokens for getting more gear pieces instead of only 1 that uses 4 tokens?
what ilvl do you have
you could just try launching through steam
which is what i do
572
If I get head and hands, instead of body, does my overall ilvl go higher?
I can do that even though my license is through MOG Station?
well thats 2 pieces instead of 1 piece so yes
yes you just add it as a non steam game
yeah, I was worried the pieces that use more tokens could weight more in ilvl calculation
Lol. This is my first non-Stream game in over ten years. I’d assumed that feature was deprecated
@wheat plume you can either buy it or get it from normal raid gear or buy with astro tomes
no ilvl is calculated by averaging all pieces
single hand jobs have weaponx2 in ilvl calculation, right?
i think so
thxs
Ty. I’ll give it a try
Whelp i looked it up and seems like i encountered a bug
Do i send a report?
Any tips on how to target better for playstation? Whenever I hold R2 to select a skill it changes the target sometimes...
is that image kinda a spoiler?
hahaha
I'm not working or schooling
hey guys, my sprout friend and I are grinding garuda ex for the mount, done it 5 times still no mount. I thought it was more common? Is something wrong or are we just getting unlucky
unlucky
wow 😦
i had 40 runs of titan ex with no mount drops
Nvm, i think he got it, and i think the image still contained a spoiler if someone guessed a few letters lol
WHAT
well garuda ex takes like 30 seconds
ok i was just stupid and didnt realise that was a button
yeah lmao, but he had to go so we have to try again tomorrow
It's not too rare, but definitely not common either. Just do it unsync'd with a lvl 80-90
or kill it in 4s using a solo lv 70 BLU if your friend has that
yeah, im lvl 85 reaper, finished it in 35 seconds but maybe with some fc members we can do it in 10
ARR ponies should be a 20% chance
yeah that sounds right
whenever i do it for wondrous tails, i always get one
ARR Primals even in extreme die in a matter of 4-8s with a lv 70 BLU
i don't think there's a confirmed % drop for it
However, ever since the stat squish, it might've gotten harder to 1 shot primals with higher HPs like Shiva
Guys how do I get the 5 slot green 580(?) items that I see people wear sometimes? What are they called exactly I can't remember
you'll be fine though its not a slog
or well, not as much of a slog compared to sync
yeah, will try a few more times
craft
eventually surely it will pop up
What are they called?
Craft it or buy it on the marketboard
Classical
thx
Any tips on how to target better for playstation? Whenever I hold R2 to select a skill it changes the target sometimes...
change the button u need to cast skills to r1 and l1, there's some settings u can play with in regards to targeting with x as well and use the arrow keys to switch between target.
I play on playstation too and it works great but targeting is one of the biggest annoyances I have too. pvp is practically impossible to be good at
and look up Squintina on youtube, she has a bunch of great guides that helped me alot
so I have ilvl 565, just barely, so I could enter the first leg of the new 8man raid series
am I going to have to get a higher iLVL to do the rest when it releases later on?
yes
will the token thing stay 1 token per boss, 1 piece for the first leg when the second leg drops?
or am i gonna have to farm after every 4 bosses 
what is alisaie's trenchcoat and boots from post heavensward? or are they unobtainable items?
i've never done raid farming and the first time i did P1N thru P4N I literally got zero of the chest drops when I hit need on all of them
when next raid set releases, astronomy tomestones will become the new aphorism
so you'll be able to easily farm yourself a 590 set of gear
ok that doesn't seem so bad
and augment it with alliance raid drops to 600
optional
oh phew christ i was afraid i was going to have to farm every boss like 20 times to reach P5N
Sorry I went into a dungeon. What do you mean?
ty!
np
are rezz macros worth using
you can also get crafted 580 gear (augmentable to 590 in a later patch) and the allied raid will drop high level gear too
Depends on what they do I suppose ^_^
aight
something like 590 or 600, dunno
i very, VERY foolishly bought a bunch of exarchic gear when i was endgame in shb
and basically deleted all my money
because i wanted to do nier raids 
i don't really get the point of it
can astronomy tomes drop from zadnor?
If its just something that spams the chat its usually pretty useless, quite annoying in fact
i use the chat to help coach new and old players to do mechanics they don't recognize
but if its a quick reminder/notification of who you're ressing it might be useful in some groups
chat rezz memes make my bones hurt if they're any longer than they need to be
as a newer player I wholeheartedly agree
i don't play healer but i've gotten lots of comms from just being like
"oh hey here's the mechs you really, really need to know/get right"
i can't do that with a 3 line rez chat macro constantly popping off
i feel like chat rezz is only there for the comms 
my game keeps crashing with this message, and i am at my wits end on how to fix it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/854222407498072098/922274119565860884/unknown.png
I actually got in quite some discussions with more experienced players because of this. People spamming 4 lines of text in the middle of a mechanic heavy fight and im watching the chat and die due to mechanics
i stopped getting directx crashes when i started underclocking my cpu by about 150mhz with msi afterburner
and didnt lose any performance
i think my custom build has a few issues but underclocking basically removes all my gpu crash issues
the only thing that seemed to work was updating my graphics card, it worked for a few weeks but then it came back
i even tried reinstalling the drivers, didnt work
unironically i would recommend trying underclocking your gpu
msi afterburner works with most stuff iirc
underclocking?
so over and underclocking are increasing or reducing the clock rate of your cpu and or gpu
which makes it faster or slower
the former increases stress on it and the latter reduces it typically
i underclock my cpu because i use a laptop (cooling issues), and the fact that there's no substantial performance increase when playing this game
diff. cards and builds handle overclocking to different extents
this game is just old
just take the ps5 pill guys, never had a crash in my entire gametime xD
but yeah i get gpu crashes in some games unless i actually reduce my clock rate thru an adjustment app like afterburner
i swear this game has the most volatile fickle code of any game ive ever played
warframe, ffxiv, etc, would crash no matter what i did until i started doing this
i've never gotten that, and all my crashes i'd assume are problems cause of ram
cause i have a puny amount of 4gb
like seriously what is the deal with this crash
if this game had dx12 support it'd probably be great though
my cooling sucks lmao
would dx12 even fix problems like mine?
no seriously you should try my suggestion I'll link you MSI Afterburner if you want it
worst case scenario you just have a neat tool for changing and measuring your cpu/gpu stuff
yeah msi only lets me do uhhhh
can also include undervolting
oh cool
and if they ask for money i will personally just pack up my version of it and send it to you cause like
it's probably 10mb tops
it's just a skin and some code
you can also get in-game monitoring with an overlay
also i just wanted to add that this stupid crash only started happening when EW released
if that narrows it down at all
and you know what sucks
ive asked around other places
literally nobody else is having this problem
its a weird issue
im like the only person in the world thats experiencing this unique unsolvable issue
but then again, some issues are unique to your pc sometimes
if i join a dungeon before the tome reset time and i clear it after it resets, do i get more astro tomes?
No
If I'm a second storm lieutenant, how do I get to first storm lieutenant? Do I need to level up my squadron first?

You need to get your squadron to complete a specific Adventure Squadron mission successfully (Flagged Mission: Crystal Recovery)
To complete that mission, you need to meet all 3 stat requirements. Meeting only 2 results in a 0% success rate.
To get the necessary stats, you'll need to your participating squadron mates to be at least lv 40, alongside any training necessary to finetune their stats to meet the requirements.
I exited Eureka intending to re-enter because I only had 20 mins left and I wanted to take advantage of an elemental buff, but it keeps putting me into a different instance. Is there anyway to go back to my original instance?
its random
when do we unlock transmog?
ty ty
Do you have to unlock potd weapons by playing to 50 on every job, or just need to do it once and then you're good to get them if you meet the requirements?
just once for the story
Oh okay, thank you
i just capped lvl 90 miner, and i am wondering what is better, crafted gear or the purple scrips gear?
crafted when you overmeld it
how can i q with healing role but i dont want the other healer have the same job as me
cant
at what level do we get mounts?
game i think tries not to do it
yikes
!faq mount
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
ty
lvl 20
as is always do msq @restive sand
ty!
is scholar's excogitation ogcd?
yes
okay, thanks
Can anyone suggest a good way to farm GC seals to unlock expert deliveries?
Taking hunting log out of the equation :)
Can someone suggest a nice guide for Controller Interface? I am playing on PlayStation
gc levequests
Fates and Adventurer in need roulette rewards
i forget, is the AiN bonus the tomestones, or the extra pocket change?
the gil
oh nice!! maybe i can take a break from tanking now 😂 thank you!
Yeah not worth going out of your way to get
Uh
is shadows uncast the maelstrom rank up quest?
whats the point in progressing zodiak weapons if they're all lvl 50?
endgame content glam 
wack
some of them are ridiculously pretty, so i def recommend
dyeable?
i dont believe so, they get upgraded later as you progress to have more intricate and bright designs
depends on the step you're on, but yes
Relic weapons were one of the strongest-tier weapons you could get when their respective expansion was current. But when a new expansion comes out, they get rapidly outdated by new expansion leveling gear.
The Endwalker relic weapon will likely come out in one or two major patches.
Is there any way my friend can play game now? He made trial version some time ago, now he is lvl 60 and he cant buy game
he can only continue the trial, i.e leveling other classes n stuff
Is there any update when it will be possible buy game?
No
😟
I wouldn't necessarily say "rapidly" but they're usually outmatched before you hit the following expansion's level cap
do all new players start at thanalan
ah
if you picked archer you start in gridania
are there other mini-games that can be unlocked in the Inn Rooms, or just Parley?
Is there a special discord for Gaia hunt trains?
there’s other ones
i know there’s a puzzle one
oh nice! i'll look into them, thanks!!
anyone can help? how do i unlock this "laid to rest" quest?
its for i can dye my level 89 armor
i dont know where to start
Its the role quests in Radz-a-hans
oh that

Hi friends, interested in starting and have a few questions.
- What is everyday/week upkeep like? How much time daily or weekly to do dailies (once beginner content has been pushed through).
- Story is worth right? I shouldn't rush it?
- Are the connection issues still ongoing?
-No everyday/weekly dailies needed to progress the game. There IS such content, but entirely optional to the main draw of hte game, the story.
Well.
I assume you’re talking about to be relevant for raids
The only weekly activity needed is capping weekly pve currency
This is not very time-consuming to do
Can run like five dungeons or do a few hunt trains, pretty much all level cap content gives the currency
Then there’s clearing the raids for the weekly capped look
That’s it
Story is worth, and there haven’t been connection issues lately
Just login queues
And only during peak times
- Story is so WORTH IT. Its the entire draw of the game, to the point saying 'Im new' in chat will make people slow down for you.
Though that said, the first expansion is quite a bit on the slow Side. It does, however set up the all the characters to make the next one, Heaversward, Sheer awesome.
-Connection issues are only really bad now around Prime time, which is when the daily dungeons rewards reset. Thats 3pm GMT. Also, there's a logout timer of half an hour (that is if your afk for 1/2 hour, your logged out.)
I typically login easily at around 1pm GMT.
and any time before that, queue is empty
Those aren’t connection issues 
Thanks guys. Are there different regions in this game? Do I get locked in when I select, or can I switch later on?
Just a login queue
- Login issues, my bad
Can switch for 18 usd
reigons as in servers? there are 2 per continent if i remember correctly
If you mean like regional servers
Which region do I pick if I'm in Australia? NA?
and inside of them like 6 servers
each
3/3/2
ah ok
Oh
this is just installation u pick reigon in game
that’s unrelated
