From my understanding I need to complete all 9 books from the "Trials of the Braves" Book Collection to upgrade to the 4th Step (Animus) and submit all 9 at the same time. But the wiki also says "You can only ever own one book at a time". I don't want to get a new book and accidentally lose progress on the last book.

If I am understanding it correctly, I can have 1x Book of Skyfire I, 1x Book of Skyfire II and so forth. But not 2x Book of Skyfire II otherwise it'll delete previous completion of the book.

Do I hand it in to Jalzahn?

[narrow jay]

The previous one disappears from your inventory when you get the next one.

[prime plover]

I just want to really make sure

[narrow jay]

I'm on my .... fourth, iirc, and I only have one in my inventory.

But you do handle them one at a time, just in whatever order you wish.

[prime plover]

Just exchange?

Okay thanks for the clarification!

[narrow jay]

from the consolegameswiki page

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Animus_Zodiac_Weapons/Quest

[prime plover]

Got it thanks 🙂

[narrow jay]

Your last book will still remain in your Key Item Inventory after completion. To remove it, simply return to G'jusana and select the Disposal option

That wiki page also has some good info about spawning particular Fates that don't spawn automatically or may take some effort to spawn, so it's a good resource to look at.

[signal veldt]

i havent reach max level yet but im seeing a lot lv90 players do roulette like msq one or alliance one, other than EXP maybe poetics, but is there any reward other than that?

[narrow jay]

When you're max level you get high-end tomestone rewards as an incentive to keep doing it.

[signal veldt]

ohhh

yeah i noticed another 2 tomestone

i see that makes sense now

[strong elbow]

Hey so I can buy the game on the 25th?

[restive sand]

where do i find leves that give venture coins? as a beginner

[boreal storm]

Just buy ventures from your GC

[proper cipher]

You can buy ventures for seals
trade in some dungeon gear

and then buy them

[restive sand]

ok

[narrow jay]

That is what the announcement said, it seems.

Check the latest pinned message.

[boreal storm]

Reading is hard /s

[narrow jay]

They may have heard what they thought was a rumor and came to confirm, I wasn't going to assume.

[boreal storm]

But like. Read #lodestone-news-na that’s why it’s there

[strong elbow]

Heard as rumor lol jeez

Does anyone know the cost?

I’m going to put the funds aside

[boreal storm]

The exact same as usual, $60

[strong elbow]

Ok sweet, that’s a good heads up someone told me 20$

[boreal storm]

That’s starter

[narrow jay]

The data centers for each region are each physically located in the same place in their respective region. So, like, all the NA logistical datacenters are in the same building in North America. But each LDC handles a set number of worlds.

[strong elbow]

60$ gets the complete package?

[boreal storm]

EndWalker is $40

[strong elbow]

I have endwalker

[boreal storm]

Then you just need starter

[regal pawn]

Then you just need starter

[hearty acorn]

Can i farm p4s for the mount or is the mount also once a week

[restive sand]

am i able to buy ventures right when i unlock GC?

[regal pawn]

Once a week

[strong elbow]

This is my escape from gacha mobile games

[regal pawn]

You can't roll on anything after your clear

[strong elbow]

They are sadly too addictive and expensive

[restive sand]

i mean, you can play gachas for free

[strong elbow]

Not me I collect everything

Then I also play too many of them

Thanks for the info guys you’ve been a great help

Excited to join

[proper cipher]

No cross region travel

[regal pawn]

Chaos can't visit primal but can visit light
Yes

[narrow jay]

At first, yeah. All initial cross-LDC travel will be limited to the physical region until Yoshida and co. see if going fully cross-region is an idea they want to implement.

[boreal storm]

Yep, it’s available at private 3rd class

[narrow jay]

There may be cross-region travel in the future. But they also may decide it's a bad plan.

[regal pawn]

We want implemented*
Right now it's up in the air

[restive sand]

those who are into the lore, anyone know up to what point i can just skip cutscenes and diaglog

[regal pawn]

Depends if the community wants it

[restive sand]

in ARR

and still get the story

[remote lintel]

never

[boreal storm]

You won’t get many things if you skip the cutscenes/dialogue

[remote lintel]

i guess you can skip the pre titan banquet thing but then you wont know the characters

[restive sand]

im basically all the way at the start

at camp dry bone

but i played to stormblood years ago but didnt follow the story

[narrow jay]

You can't, really. And I personally don't recommend it. Like, at all.

However, there are cutscene compilations for every expansion on YouTube, I believe, so if you wanted to bust out the story to get to endgame and then go back and watch all the cutscenes later, then ... really there's nothing stopping you?

[restive sand]

Is most of the story in the skippable cutscenes?

or also the dialog when accepting/handing in quests

[narrow jay]

Yes.

[boreal storm]

Wait why wouldn’t you just NG+

[outer plank]

how many books per accessory? 4?

[restive sand]

completely new account

[regal pawn]

Yes

[boreal storm]

But why

[restive sand]

so i have a ps5 copy of hte game i bought in the JP store

never knew I had to buy a certain region copy to use my old acc

that one really hurt

[steady cape]

Hi i am just starting up my ffxiv

Why is the server node preselected?

[remote lintel]

wym

[steady cape]

they've assigned me in Crystal

is this normal?

[ripe hound]

Hmm, what server is your character on?

[steady cape]

None, i've only started.

[ripe hound]

Have you created a character in any worlds?

[boreal storm]

Just pick a different one

[remote lintel]

are you on the DC select screen

[steady cape]

thank you for trying to help, i see an option to change data center now

[remote lintel]

cause if so you just click one

[steady cape]

this is resolved.

[ripe hound]

Yup

Just pick any world in your local data center

You are NA right?

[steady cape]

thank you guys

[ripe hound]

Congrats

[covert marlin]

is round lanner whistle supposed to be a common drop?

[boreal storm]

It’s an old EX mount

[proper cipher]

It's about 20% iirc?

[boreal storm]

They all have the same chance

[covert marlin]

ohh 20%

thank you

[remote lintel]

[autumn hedge]

Is there a known audio bug during certain EW cutscenes?

I've run into one, but it's the first audio bug during a cutscene so far

The rest is only during combat

[plain frigate]

was wondering if im on free trial can i switch to steam instead of window after beating the game on trial and plan on buying it??

or do i gotta stick to windows

[remote lintel]

yes once you buy the game on steam

which you cant atm

[plain frigate]

[twilit arch]

give it a couple of hours, kaiyoko will probably have the new fashion report up by then

[last mural]

Yep. People tried uploading a certain popular music in EW, and those videos got taken down

[cursive abyss]

They seem to have updated the Material Usage Policy somewhere

idk where

looking now

[unkempt hinge]

Do all modern aesthetics work with Vieras?

[tropic flame]

nope not all

[lean talon]

can lower tier treasure maps be done unsynced?

[tropic flame]

its always synced

[ashen ginkgo]

Do you guys know any good glamour for crafters/gatherers?

[molten mortar]

How long Into stormblood does it take before I can get level 70 raid gear? I could really go for upgrades..

[tropic flame]

if you want to do it solo, just get a solo map

[twilit arch]

the ones that currently work on viera are controlled chaos, battle ready bobs, scanning for style and pulse @unkempt hinge

[unkempt hinge]

thank you!

[cursive abyss]

Here we are!:

[narrow jay]

The endgame gear traders won't spawn until you complete the main Stormblood campaign.

[buoyant sorrel]

Is there a command like aglam where you can see what it looks like but with a whole outfit?

[twilit arch]

not on kupo bot, since the images are pulled from gamerescape

[buoyant sorrel]

Bummer ty tho

[molten mortar]

Damn lol thanks for the reply

[proper cipher]

Could try Eorzea collection for glam images.

[boreal storm]

You don’t even need the raid gear

Just buy Scaven, but that also requires 4.0 completion so...

[cursive abyss]

Question; If I use part of a FF14 Cinematic in a video where I talk about FF14, am I liable to get DMCA'd?

[molten mortar]

Do I have any other options at 70? I'm still wearing 60 gear right now

[twilit arch]

you should really direct those questions to SE support, not us @cursive abyss

[boreal storm]

Just use the gear msq/ leveling dungeons give you

Shire lasts 63-64ish

[molten mortar]

The pacing is way off so that gear will not cut it

I just started stormblood at 69

[naive ridge]

If it's your first character, and you havent reached the end of stormblood,

the msq will give you gear

[boreal storm]

As will dungeons

[narrow jay]

If you don't want to spam the 69 nice dungeon for gear, the 70 vendor white gear is functional to get you through to the end. It's ... a bit of a money waste since you'll replace it immediately, but it's good enough to scab you over.

[naive ridge]

just follow the msq and you will get lvl appropriate gear for each dungeon

[molten mortar]

I'll grab that white gear until raid one unlocks then

[boreal storm]

Don’t need 70 gear If you’re not close to 70 content

[cursive abyss]

Eh, I didnt want the headache, so I just deleted the 2 videos, no one watched em anyways.

[narrow jay]

But also yes, the MSQ should have given you a set of HQ white gear, at least for the left side, as you've progressed.

So if you've thrown that away, then ... that's a bit on you mate lol

[cursive abyss]

Not worth the headache

[molten mortar]

The msq gear is underleveled at this point. I'd rather just get one set I can keep wearing through quest and dungeons

[cursive abyss]

Oh and btw, SE Support just directs you to the Material Usage Policy if you ask questions like that.

not very helpful

[twilit arch]

don't really know why you'd expect it to be better here

[olive light]

Hey, I just unlocked the Masked Carnivale, but I don't see how to start it?

[naive ridge]

the easiest set to get is lvl 70 scaven which is best (next to savage) and can be gotten with poetics but only at the end of the expansion. The next easiest is crafted gear, it's worse and you need to spend gil on it. The best advice is to simply progress with the story and use the gear they give you. You dont really need that much to clear msq dungeons

[boreal storm]

And it’s kinda unlikely someone is selling 70 HQ gear

[proper cipher]

The MSQ gear will be under "your" level but it won't be under levelled for the content you're doing

[naive ridge]

when you are doing dungeons you will be synced to that level anyways

so your lvl 70 doesnt matter

if its a matter of inventory space, just discard or desynth the old gear when you get new ones

[naive ridge]

people still get them from quick ventures and are sold as glamour

but the price is extremely volatile

[molten mortar]

Just a matter of not dealing with upgrades through quests lol especially when it means doing more quests. 70 white gear would mean I don't have to bother looking at gear through the expansion

Don't have other use for Gil lol

Would've been nice to have somewhere to spend my poetics though

[twilit arch]

70 white gear is bad though

[boreal storm]

You can...when you beat 4.0

[twilit arch]

You can also just get to 70 and use the job specific gear until you finish 4.0

and can pick up scaevan

[signal veldt]

is there a soft cap on the speed of finishing a loading screen? like the black screen when loading into new map is 2~3 seconds
i noticed everyone else have the same loading speed as me even though i have 7gb read speed from my ssd

[restive sand]

Is the 7th umbral era a time period or the calamity itself caused by bahamut?

[boreal storm]

Era

[naive ridge]

its the time period after

the calamity

[restive sand]

aha

[somber burrow]

when i use recommended gear on my summoner, its telling me to equip a ilv170 ring over the ilv270 shire gear i just bought...did i do something wrong?

[remote lintel]

it has era in the name

[restive sand]

which is now right?

[naive ridge]

yes

[restive sand]

or is now the 8th era?

ah ok

[remote lintel]

not after ARR

[boreal storm]

You didn’t buy int gear did you

[remote lintel]

it's the astral era after ARR

[restive sand]

So in ARR, right now is the 7th era?

[molten mortar]

Why would I want LVL70 gear by the time I'm done the 4th expansion lol

[somber burrow]

is it not just the DoM side?

[remote lintel]

7th astral era

not umbral

oh you said in ARR

[boreal storm]

Healers use Mind

[restive sand]

so bahamut blows up the world which is the 7th umbral era no?

[boreal storm]

Casters use Int

[restive sand]

which was 5 years ago

[somber burrow]

oh fuck i bought the mind ring

[twilit arch]

because the level cap for stormblood is 70?

[remote lintel]

yes the umbral era has been going on for 5 years

they literally do a whole ceremony at the end of ARR which makes it the astral era

[somber burrow]

rip 280 poetics

[boreal storm]

Wait 4th expansion?

[restive sand]

ah, im currently doing arr haha

[boreal storm]

You said you’re in stormblood

[restive sand]

my old account

i just skipped the whole story

[naive ridge]

to clear things up Umbral refers to bad periods, Astral to good periods. T

[boreal storm]

Not you the other guy

[restive sand]

oh perfect, thanks

[naive ridge]

So immediately after a calamity its an umbral period

After 2.0 when we defeat the garleans they started to refer to it as an astral period

[restive sand]

The teraflare created the umbral period right?

[naive ridge]

as its a period of recovery/hope

[remote lintel]

bahamut breaking out of his thing made it the umbral period

that whole scene

[restive sand]

i see

[naive ridge]

its been five years since then

and the world had been recovering

at the start of ARR*

[restive sand]

and the garleans are trying to make the 8th umbral period or something?

[remote lintel]

what

no

[proper cipher]

The Ascians are

[restive sand]

ascians**

my b lol

[naive ridge]

a calamity is just a name for a great catastrophe, it doesnt have to be intentional

[keen mantle]

whats the weekly poetic cap?

[zealous agate]

can I upgrade 'Ifrit's Star Globe' somehow to get the flaming vfx version?

[boreal storm]

None

[twilit arch]

glowy version is crafted

so no real way to upgrade it, outside of desynthing the weapon and hoping it gives crafting mat

[boreal storm]

The only ones you can upgrade are ||shiva and leviathan|| for some reason

[zealous agate]

Gotcha

[zealous agate]

Yeah thought I was missing something for the others haha

[delicate field]

Can you buy the crafting mats off the MB?

[twilit arch]

yes

[boreal storm]

You need the demimateria books if you wanna craft those, if you were wondering

Full green HQ costs under 100k on my server im lucky

[raw moss]

Trying to craft glamour prisms. I got alchemist up to lvl 15 but don’t see the quest in mor dhona to craft them?

[twilit arch]

quest isn't in mor dhona if you did the glamour unlock quest in vesper bay

you need to go to vesper bay to do the quest to unlock the crafting recipes

that said, strongly recommend not bothering with crafting prisms. easier to rank up in your grand company to unlock expert deliveries and turn in dungeon gear for seals to buy em

[raw moss]

Yeah I can’t figure out how to get more flame seals right now tho. Did my daily thing for them already and the only flame wuest I have available rn has no flame seal rewards

[twilit arch]

do your grand company hunting log

or fates if you've completed that

[raw moss]

Ah right the log

Ty

[zealous agate]

Are most things sellable on the market or are most things not?

[proper cipher]

Generally yes. If it's not sellable it'll say so on it

[zealous agate]

Gotcha thanks

[hallow grove]

what item do you need to be able to play your orchestraions in your house/apartment?

[twilit arch]

an orchestrion

[hallow grove]

i cant find that on my crafting log

[twilit arch]

need master carpenter IV for it

[hallow grove]

weird how i had that already, but searching up "orchestrion" doesnt bring it up

[twilit arch]

[hallow grove]

anyways i found it but i wasnt able to search it up

ty

[leaden ginkgo]

is universalis down?

[twilit arch]

doesn't seem to be to me

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm

i dont know but i cant reach it

my internet is fine

[cursive ridge]

can retainer quick ventures bring you raid gear? what about savage raid gear?

[twilit arch]

normal mode iirc yes

savage no

[lilac crystal]

As a warrior, should i be spamming overpower + mythril tempest for mobs? Or just the storms path combo for the health back?

[cursive ridge]

on 3+ mobs, you do aoe

[frank wigeon]

Hey I've bought a level boost for my character and yet I still have to do the job quests from 30 onwards. The purchase said it will complete all job quests, may someone please explain what that means?

[twilit arch]

did you actually use the level boost?

[solemn jewel]

What job did u boost

[cursive ridge]

storms path healing is basically insignificant enough to not matter at all. it's not powerful enough to keep you alive if your healer is afk and if your healer is semi-conscious, their heals will do way more than storm's path

you shouldnt do singletarget in aoe situations just because of that heal

[lilac crystal]

Ahh kk thank you

[cursive ridge]

if you kill stuff faster, they will have less time to hurt you

[proper cipher]

normal mode of the previous expansion only I believe, based on my experience got a lot of 80 stuff from ||Eden|| but none from the latest

[frank wigeon]

I boosted my summoned to level 70 II

One summoned journey II

[solemn jewel]

Are u sure the jobquest u see aren't for scholar

[twilit arch]

and the job quests you are seeing are the summoner ones and not scholar?

[proper cipher]

What is the jobquest you are seeing?

[twilit arch]

because you'd have a 70 scholar, since they share base class arcanist

[frank wigeon]

Ohh it is for scholar

[twilit arch]

but not scholar job quests complete

[frank wigeon]

Are the scholar and summoner job quests all linked as one?

[steep egret]

you get a freebie, since summoner and scholar use arcanist exp
but it wont complete scholar quests

[twilit arch]

no

summoner and scholar are two separate quest lines

[frank wigeon]

This makes a lot of sense now. Thank you all very much 😁

[cunning anchor]

Are there plugins or add ons that show you real time strategies such as where to go to avoid boss attacks on the field

When you see a red circle, go outside it. That's how to avoid attacks

[cedar dune]

Is there such a thing as apartment transfers? Like if I setup an apartment in LB, I can easily transfer it to say ishgard when it comes?

[boreal storm]

Nope

[delicate field]

No. Need to abandon

[cedar dune]

Ahhhh alright

[rigid dust]

what do the red and blue Xs on my gear pieces indicate?

[open rivet]

not anymore. they're quite limited now.
(before, they were even able to get unreleased trial items)

[limber hound]

blue = another one of your jobs can equip it
red = cannot equip at all

[rigid dust]

ohhh i see, thanks!

[zealous agate]

What kind of new content do they release between major patches?

[whole ember]

are there any notable unlockables behind leveling trusts/avatars?

[boreal storm]

Costumes for your trusts, title

[whole ember]

happen to know off hand what title it is?

no problem digging for it if not

[solemn jewel]

Trusted Friend at 80, of the Seventh Dawn at 90

[whole ember]

appreciate it, both of you

[misty elbow]

Any fellow fisherman knows how intuition works for Warden of the Seven hue ?

[golden lichen]

Do we have any idea when the starter edition is gonna be for sale again?

[misty elbow]

Like, i know we cannot queue up for dunegon/ leave region, but can we exit the game and still keep the intuition count for next login?

[merry merlin]

Thats pretty specific, might wanna check out the fishermans horizon discord

[narrow jay]

Check the latest pin in this channel.

[merry merlin]

Buying the game will be possible again starting on 25th

[golden lichen]

Oh let’s goo

[autumn hedge]

I'm having trouble with a moogle beast tribe quest. It's not showing me any markers and I can't find the location they need me to use Whei Ahf on. The quest is called Tremble Finish. I checked two wikis and they don't have a location listed.

[boreal storm]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GhwW5_dy5VI

[autumn hedge]

Thank you

[fallow jungle]

I don't know where else to put this but thanks for coming to my ted talk, please forward this to appropriate eyes, for the love of god save me from this UI UX hell scape

[leaden ginkgo]

if i have a level 80, do i get a combat job xp boost? my smn is level 78 but i hate the changes to it and don't wanna main it anymore

[proper cipher]

Anything below your highest level will get a boost

[green grail]

level doesnt matter, all not-highest-level jobs get double exp

[boreal storm]

Unless they’re 80+, then it’s 1.5x the exp

[green grail]

you have a job at lvl 2 = double exp at level 1

[marsh locust]

if you do new game+ with an alt character, will you earn the same exp as you did originally or any at all for that matter?

[boreal storm]

You don’t earn any exp

0 rewards from NG+

[proper cipher]

new game+ is for the the IRL experience of doing a moment you liked again

[marsh locust]

thought as much, wanted to play through again with japenese audio, was hoping to have the extra incentive of exp lol

[solemn jewel]

Post it in the forums, this server is not affiliated in any way

[warm snow]

You mean /isearch?

[marsh locust]

just came on for first time in 3 months and havent got endwalker yet, what npcs do i exchange my allagan tomestone of allegory with? coz im presuming they have no use now

[warm snow]

And secondly you only have 2 inventories on your character, one of which you have to unlock, it's not that complex

[warm snow]

Mor dhona

[ionic hazel]

Mor Dhona and talk with Auriana at (X22.7, Y6.7)

[marsh locust]

cheers guys

[pallid hearth]

Regarding the new oceanic data center, will the housing system still the same or will it already implement the lottery system?

[fallow jungle]

put that pnumatic drill down, I got this old hand crank here that works fine

yea it works fine but could be better...

[pallid hearth]

Its not 6.1 yet right

[warm snow]

Lottery

Probably

[sleek needle]

6.08 coming up then 6.1 is next

(in like ~april)

[pallid hearth]

My friends have different statement about it lol! Some say it will not be implemented yet, new worlds housing will not be available yet until 6.1 and some say upon the new data center every world will already be implementing lottery system

I'm confused 😂

[warm snow]

It'll be the same as what happens when you find a vacant lot atm

More than likely

[molten mortar]

Do you need to equip the gear to get the Makai titles or just purchase it then speak to the NPC?

[boreal storm]

That event has been gone for a while

[ionic hazel]

Arnt the Makai titles tied to achievements You mustve bought the gear tied to each one during the time they were available

[tulip chasm]

fun fact, you can do /isearch <item> and it will give you a list of results, and then you can press search for item if it is in your inventory, retainers or whatnot may not be the perfect solution but its better than nothing 🤷‍♂️

[pallid hearth]

Yeah I believe so too.. housing is all I care about 😂

[molten mortar]

You're saying it's impossible to get now?

[warm snow]

Probably

Makai is that garo shit iirc

[ionic hazel]

yes the npc who sells them is gone now

[warm snow]

And that's long gone

[marsh locust]

cant afford enwalker for couple weeks and ive just finished the SB patches, ive had no experience with endgame content yet, seen as i was just plying through msq. Whats the best options to spend my time on for 2 weeks till i get endwalker?

[ionic hazel]

You get an achievement for buying a specific piece of gear that gave you the title

[molten mortar]

One of the 4 wikis for this game should mention that lmao

[warm snow]

Level an alt, play omega, git gud, gamble your ass out at the golden saucer

Upgrade your glams

[boreal storm]

It’s a crossover event

[solemn jewel]

Have u done raids, trial series and Alliancer raids?

[ionic hazel]

it actually does

[molten mortar]

I wonder how many titles I've seen that you can't get anymore then

[boreal storm]

Those don’t last forever

[warm snow]

Do the new years event before it disappears on Thursday

[ionic hazel]

front and center

[warm snow]

Fight the horny birb

Do some beast tribes

[marsh locust]

just got omega and binding coils left, i was leaving them to last coz i know theyre gonna be relevant to endwalker

[warm snow]

Clear out some side quesrs

[boreal storm]

Do the SB raids, trials

[warm snow]

Do omega now

It's an absolute highlight

Especially for ff fans

[marsh locust]

ive been a fan since ff4 so yup very excited haha

[molten mortar]

That's weird. I thought the title was available before then

[warm snow]

They're not suuuuper relevant but it's really nice having that knowledge in endwalker

So yeah you want them done BEFORE you do endwalker

Baha you can unsync now mostly, maybe post a pf for T9 and 13

Since those have a few insta kill mechs

[marsh locust]

i only got into this coz im a ff fan and i heard this was one of the best ff stories ever. Complete mo noob haha

[warm snow]

Oh yeah, blu mage

Blu mage is also something you can do

[marsh locust]

*mmo

[warm snow]

Same

[naive ridge]

The only insta for t13 is the divebomb that you can avoid by just running

[marsh locust]

yeah blue age does look very interesting dive

[warm snow]

Only problem is there's a few divebombs

And it'll put you aaaalll the way back at the start

And he has several phases and there's a lot of waiting

[naive ridge]

You're making it a lot harder than it sounds. I don't even know t13 mechanics just that there was a divebomb

[molten mortar]

Is there a list of no longer available titles?

[warm snow]

It's not hard, it's just annoying and tedious

[naive ridge]

And soloed in shadowbringers

For WT

[boreal storm]

Just look up achievements you can’t obtain anymore

[warm snow]

That said I wonder if echo unsync blu can one-shot T13 yet

[marsh locust]

dont reallly like unsync, done a few extreme trials and was getting mounts well fast, feels like it takes away the satisfaction of doing it

[naive ridge]

You can solo it on almost any class probably

Those adds die instantly

[warm snow]

I mean fair, but you're not gonna find a party for coils since they're basically savage difficulty, and syncing them is gonna take a whiiiiiile and you'll need to pf every time

Might have to swallow your pride to actually see the end of coils in a reasonable time frame

[molten mortar]

Nice I've got a few rare ones. It's cool but I wanted to get myself Makai Monk lol

[marsh locust]

was worried about this, i saw enough warning with endwalker coming up haha. I suppose i can take it for coils and omega coz its more about the story

[warm snow]

Omega you can sync normal modes

Normal. Modes were introduced in hw

For the story

So don't worry there

Coils is just leftover arr jank

[ionic hazel]

https://ffxivcollect.com/achievements/types/13#61

[boreal storm]

Also Alexander, doesn’t sound like you did it

[ionic hazel]

Here, have a blast

thats all the legacy achievements and you can see which ones have titles

[marsh locust]

sound, well cheers i have a map of what to do now. Coils, omega and blu mage. Did you say anything else again?

[ionic hazel]

@molten mortar If the achievement has a medal on it that means it has a title tied to it

[molten mortar]

Ty!

That's perfect

Looks like a lot of ARR titles are gone

[warm snow]

Alexander raids and void ark alliance raids in hw if you skipped those too

[boreal storm]

Don’t forget The triad

[warm snow]

Oh yes, if you enjoyed ff6 there's the warring triad trial series in hw too

[true jolt]

Ah yes triple triad, my favorite trials

[warm snow]

Me too

[marsh locust]

nah literally just omega and coils. Love how well this games tips its hat to past endeavours in the franchise. Keeps blowing my mind everytime they integrate something in, and its not even forced, feels well authentic. Don't think ive ever seen any property pay dividince to its IPs previous instalments so well.

[ripe hound]

I saw news saying new character created on the new DC and leveled to lv 30 will give 15 days of free playtime to account?

Does this mean I can create an alt on the new DC and grab it?

[warm snow]

Standard transfer from congested to preffered incentives

[warm snow]

That's what you get for transferring tk new worlds

[ripe hound]

I mean this thing

[warm snow]

Yeah, you get that shit from the road to 80 buff incentives

[ripe hound]

Hmmm nice

I think I should go create an alt then

Always wanted to play the Uldah intro

[tulip chasm]

can you transfer ownership of an fc house

[warm snow]

To another fc member as an fc house yes

[tulip chasm]

awesome

[arctic glacier]

I don't seem to have a way to use the Faerie gauge in pvp as a scholar?

[warm snow]

You just put them in charge of the fc

[ripe hound]

Also the 5 worlds on Materia are gonna be exactly the same right?

Like, there isn't any culture on any of them

So just pick a name I like?

[warm snow]

Blank slates

[ripe hound]

Yeah...

Hard to decide which world to pick

I think I should pick Zurvan because my pfp is literally skipsaur

[warm snow]

As always we say there's no difference but there's literally no difference this time

[ripe hound]

Ayyy

[shrewd vault]

guys i have a question about chocobo coloring, chocobo is stabled and i went to feed >

it's greyed out why?

[waxen olive]

Heya, i bought myself a realm reborn physical edition with key, my question is, do i have to buy heavensward additionally or is it included?

[teal eagle]

Looks like you went to train and not feed

[boreal storm]

Well you can’t really buy HW on its own

So unless it specifically says it includes HW...

[warm snow]

Base game includes hw

[shrewd vault]

yup thannk you :3

[warm snow]

That was applied to previous owners too afaik

[waxen olive]

well, i found some online sites that would sell hw keys if it isnt included in the cd i bought)

[boreal storm]

For real? Nice

[warm snow]

Cuz they have them from that era

[untold fiber]

Is it possible to visit EU or US server after the transfer system launch? Or we can only transfer within home server worlds for example mana gaia elemental

[waxen olive]

ah ok thx

[warm snow]

Read the lodestone

[untold fiber]

if i willing to read through whole lodestone, i wont ask question here, how bout general answer “google it” for every question appear here

[boreal storm]

Dude

It’s in the most recent announcement

[narrow jay]

That is generally how I answer my own questions, so go for it.

But yes, per the Lodestone announcement, only intra-region DC travel at first.

[warm snow]

It's been known for a while from previous live letters

And is outright a bullet point in the newest lodestone post

-_-

[warm snow]

Well since there's usually a request for follow up details with this kind of shit the lodestone is usually faster

[untold fiber]

fair, ill check on it

[leaden ginkgo]

how far is this patch?

[faint flare]

Far

Major patches are usually 3-4 months apart

So 6.1 is like March/april

[proper cipher]

6.1 probably not till march-april

[leaden ginkgo]

:( o

[boreal storm]

Not 6.1

6.1x

[proper cipher]

the specific one the mention will be even later

[narrow jay]

Also of note is that they said specifically "6.1x", so it will be a patch after the 6.1 content patch

[faint flare]

6.1x is further

[narrow jay]

all four of us saying the same goddamn thing lol

[faint flare]

So + one month or so

Depending which one specifically it is

[leaden ginkgo]

XD

ok thanks

[fickle edge]

I'm trying to make a macro to 100% HQ Northern sea salt. I cant use "Trained Eye" because its a 81 craft any ideas?

[proper cipher]

Use a simulator like teamcraft and mess around till you succeed?
Hard to advise without knowing your stats

[sleek needle]

Go to TeamCraft > community rotations

Or crafting simulator

[fickle edge]

Whats teamcraft ?

[proper cipher]

https://ffxivteamcraft.com

[viscid moth]

Any ideas why I can't unlock the training dummys for EW content? i have the msq done.

There is just no npc near the radzathan aetheryte

[viscid lake]

With the kill as many enemies as you can leves, can you just do the one each and go do somthine else for the rest of the timer?

[sleek needle]

Sss?

Can't remember where it was unlocked in EW

[boreal storm]

Thavnair, somewhere

[warm snow]

It's a bicolor gem purchase

That vendor is gated by maxing shared fates in the other 6 zones

[faint flare]

SSS is in Radz-a-hans for unlock

[warm snow]

Oh sss?

[faint flare]

But needs the other sss unlocked

[warm snow]

Sss is shit anyways

[narrow jay]

If it is SSS you mean, did you perhaps pick up the quest already and haven't talked to the person out at Palaka's Stand yet?

[viscid moth]

Ohhhhh.

That'll be it

Are there somewhere some dummys placed a bit more near each other so i can get a picture/feeling of my AoE cones?

[narrow jay]

There's a set of four at Falcon's Nest in Ishgard.

[modest igloo]

Ye

[narrow jay]

They're far enough apart that if I target one of the end ones as a SMN I only hit two with my AoEs, but if I stand in the center I can hit all four with my Reaper AoEs.

[faint flare]

All overworld dummies have 4 dummies in a line

[viscid moth]

Rdm goes from cone into circle into infront aoe, i always feel like I'm missing some stuff in dungeons

So i just somehow want to get a feeling for the surface

[winter jetty]

are there any other secondary tools for fsh or is it just that one job quest reward?

[jade quartz]

There is only one spearfishing gig, the level 61 one

so far there is no upgrade for it, you're stuck with that one even at level cap

[sage turret]

Is there a better way to level in eureka than just doing weekly challenge and then wait for reset? Im lvl 22 in Pagos atm

[warm snow]

Have fun with all that rank 4 materia

[jade quartz]

after challenge logs you can do NMs

or mob chains if you have an organised party who knows how to do that (but it's tedious and no one really does it now)

[sage turret]

so its NMs or wait

im doing it just for glam so i can wait i guess

[coarse meadow]

How much more harder is P3S over P2S?

[jade quartz]

it's a significant jump from the first two fights

[coarse meadow]

Oh boy maybe not for me

[warm snow]

Beat p1-2S week 1, p3s is a solid wall but we're chipping away at it

[jade quartz]

all it takes is time and effort

and patience

[coarse meadow]

Yea, I'm going to need a static for it. Have been doing clears in PF

[waxen garden]

is there a mini client version of FFXIV so i can play the game whilst it's downloading?

[jade quartz]

no

and the whole tier is PFable

[lament gust]

is there a replacement for collectors glove? levelling mining for the first time and apparently my guide is a bit outdated cause its talking about it

[faint flare]

If it's a collectible then the collectible window will open upon picking the item

If it doesn't then it's not a collectible

[green grail]

only fisher has collectors glove now, every other job has separate items that are collectables-only and will always be gathered/made as collectables

[boreal storm]

Fisher still has to turn it on

[lament gust]

right, so I have these

I'll just go find a more up to date guide maybe

[boreal storm]

5.4 was when it updated

[faint flare]

Collectible items have RAREFIED in their name

[restive sand]

do i have to hand in my fashion report on reset day

[faint flare]

Look in your gathering log for them

[restive sand]

or do i have a week to do it

[boreal storm]

Til Weekly reset

[lament gust]

do they show up at unspoiled nodes or just any?

[restive sand]

ty

[faint flare]

Usually unspoiled

[green grail]

when you hit a collectable it opens a new window for increasing collectability and you use those skills there

[lament gust]

ohh ok

ta

[restive sand]

since endwalker is out, is gathering from lvl 1-80 streamlined and sped up?

[wraith vapor]

Level 50-something monk here about to head into Heavensward. What's the best use for Perfect Balance and Form Shift?
I'm thinking PB is used to Dragon Kick -> Bootshine until the stacks are used up? And Form Shift if the boss goes invuln and messes up my rotation timing?

[boreal storm]

Nothing really changed

[restive sand]

ah

[boreal storm]

Other than no HQ gathering

[river crescent]

Can anyone tell me why whenever I swap jobs and then go back to my original one I have to reassign skills on my hotbar?

Happens every time with swaps to and from any class

[jade quartz]

Yes until you reach level 60 at which point PB becomes part of the whole beast chakra system.

Form shift can also be used prepull to ensure you start in a form

[boreal storm]

You made them shared hotbars probably

[wraith vapor]

Thanks!

[restive sand]

what is the longest expansion story wise pre endwalker

[boreal storm]

Quest wise ARR

[restive sand]

is it because theres so many lvl 50 quests?

[rigid dust]

praetorium is just that long /s

[restive sand]

is that the long as 8 man dungeon?

ass

MSQ

[raven willow]

What level do you start if you pick up a paladin job?

[boreal storm]

1 because it’s gladiator

[raven willow]

Ah god ;-;

I wanna b one but idk that seems so low 🤣🥲

[rugged thicket]

!faq quicklauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[rugged thicket]

theres a plugin in there

[midnight grotto]

hmm?

[wraith vapor]

Luckily there's the "You're levelling another job" exp bonus hahahaah

[rugged thicket]

that displays ur ffxiv status in discord

[midnight grotto]

ohhh

thank you :)

[barren hawk]

Stupid question time - but I stink at timezones. I gather the game goes back on sale on 25/01. 5pm in Japan time. Am I right in saying that'll be 8am in the UK?

[boreal storm]

It’s a 9 hour difference according to Google

So yeah

[open rivet]

<t:1643097600:f> hope this works on mobile
/edit: had wrong timezone

[lament gust]

is there some neat tool to know what items in your inv are worth selling/keeping and which are trash?

[crisp pelican]

I love how it's German for me idk how it works but that's damn useful

[wraith vapor]

Take a look at the tooltip and if "Shop Selling Price" doesn't say "None", that means it can be bought from NPCs and are easily reobtainable and you can throw it away

[open rivet]

it's localized to your time & system, since it's a timestamp

[barren hawk]

That's great - thanks. Will have to make sure am online at that time in that case

[lament gust]

oh thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

guys im doing the book of skyfire 1 for my relic weapon and im having trouble with the fates part because they just dont seem to be spawning, is there a way i can force them to spawn, check another world to see if theyre up there or is it just luck?

[faint flare]

Do other fates to free up space

[open rivet]

just luck.
complete other fates to pass time

[boreal storm]

Clear out the fates, and pray

[faint flare]

Otherwise just wait

[warm snow]

Otherwise rng

I afked all my books while "workingn from home"

[faint flare]

Welcome to why it's the worst step

[crisp pelican]

Ooo thank you

[warm snow]

But some of the fates legit took hours

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks guys, @warm snow how long did that take?

[warm snow]

Couple months because I was dumb enough to do all the relics

[lament gust]

is this the actual price or is this just people memeing 🤨

[warm snow]

Actual price apparently

[lament gust]

neat

[raven willow]

Oh thank god lol 🥲 I have both white mage and dark Knight to level 70 but I don’t rlly like how weak dark Knight is compared to other tanks ;-;

[faint flare]

Can check the sale history as well

[wraith vapor]

If you aren't interested in Gathering, you can also throw away most items that are labelled "Crafting Material" since you can just go get them on your own

If you aren't interested in Crafting, you can throw away pretty much anything that aren't Allagan ___ Pieces or materia

[warm snow]

Dark Knight is legitimately the strongest tank

Worst defensively but strongest offensively

[leaden ginkgo]

any1 knows what exactly this means?

1. being able to home world transfer outside peak times like late in the night
   or
2. cant home world transfer at all within the next few weeks/months/...

[warm snow]

You can't transfer to worlds marked congested

[leaden ginkgo]

is it possible to hop world and check if its up there?

[warm snow]

!faq worldstatus

[zinc orbit]

World status and restrictions

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

[open rivet]

yes

[warm snow]

!faq serverstatus

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named serverstatus exists, Kupo!

[warm snow]

Okay I give up

[leaden ginkgo]

rip so they might put the congested status to certain worlds and "lock" them for a while

[warm snow]

!faq worldtype

[zinc orbit]

Types of Worlds

Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.

Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.

Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.

New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.

[warm snow]

@leaden ginkgo there you go

[hallow wolf]

You still can’t create a Free Trial account, correct? Or is this only for sale of base game/expansion?

[warm snow]

No free trials

[boreal storm]

📌

[warm snow]

Gib money or gtfo

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i do that? i dont know how to switch to other worlds

thanks

[boreal storm]

It’s not worth it

It’ll take forever to go from one world to the other

[chrome barn]

just depends on time

spriggan to louis is like 1 sec

[hallow wolf]

I hopped World at around 11am server time and it was instantaneous here at least

Weekday too

Just depends I suppose

[gritty mirage]

if its off peak time, normally its fine.

[celest snow]

is it advised to learn the best rotation for your job before going into any kind of savage boss?

[chrome barn]

yea it just depends on the time

[gritty mirage]

i have friends who transfer to help me out sometimes and if they do it during morning or late night its short queue time

[warm snow]

Well before that, you're expected to know your rotations for extremes let alone savages

[hallow wolf]

Naturally yeah, as well as looking into a guide on the boss itself. They’re quite demanding and many also have Enrage that wipes the team if you don’t perform well collectively

[faint flare]

You should know your job and rotation before doing any high end content

You learning the fight, not learning your job

[thorny flower]

Hi all, quick question. Are cross server link shells a thing? For example I'm in Primal, can I be in a linkshell with peeps in Chaos?

[warm snow]

No

[celest snow]

ok, i'm not the competitive type and following a rotation based on an image is not really that fun for me. up until now i've only done the rotation i've learned through my own experience as a DRK. however, i've always been interested in doing anything harder than extremes but just never done it yet. are there people doing the latest savage blind right now or are everyone following guides and stuff?

[thorny flower]

ok thanks

[faint flare]

Cross data centre linkshells aren't a thing

[warm snow]

That's cross data center not server

[warm snow]

Anyone on pf is using guides

[thorny flower]

yeah sorry that's what I meant

[warm snow]

Cuz you're otherwise involuntarily wasting 7+ other people's times

[faint flare]

Blind groups rapidly drop off after week 1

Cause guides start being made

[celest snow]

damn, that's sad. was hoping to do it blind with a group

[warm snow]

There's a difference between an opener and a rotation

[hallow wolf]

Extreme Party Finders that are blind exist, but Savage requires a lot more time and effort so they almost never are blind

[celest snow]

oh? didn't know that

[warm snow]

You should know your rotation in general from casual content knowing your opener is expected in high end content

Image stuff is usually for openers cuz rotations are just the general how your job works

Like red mage being fast spell to dual cast slow spell

And tanks having their standard 123 combos

[copper scaffold]

Do i have to do somethingg even more specific for the sighseeing log ? Wiki says that for
ARR: 53 Black Brush Station Central Thanalan (x21.4,y17.5) Dust Storm 18:00-5:00 Lookout Jump from the top of the building to the lamp post on the left hand side.

I am standing on that post, it was 3 am and the weather was dust storm and when i press lookout he jsut makes the emote but nothing happens and i get no entry in the sighseeing log

[celest snow]

now i feel sort of bad for wanting to do savage with my lack of knowledge and skills xd

[warm snow]

Sightseeing log for arr 21-60 needs you to do 1-20

[open rivet]

did you have the chat message "you have arrived at a vista"?

[warm snow]

Welcome back to arr, arr says fuck you

[copper scaffold]

no actually not @open rivet . Does this appear when im at a place with the right conditions ?

[warm snow]

Then you're not even at the right place

[open rivet]

it appears as long as you're in the right space regardless of other requirements.

[copper scaffold]

Ok, but the coordinates are exactly as mentioned in the wiki. Where im supposed to be in that case ?

[oak quarry]

ARR sightseeing stinky

[warm snow]

Games console wiki is crap

[copper scaffold]

is there a more accurate one ?

[warm snow]

That's 53, have you even unlocked 21-60 on sightseeing log

[warm snow]

.

[copper scaffold]

ahhh, thats the point. I didnt knew i had to unlock them in order

[open rivet]

I used https://tylian.net/sslog

[warm snow]

Just 1-20 to unlock the last 40

[copper scaffold]

I just saw the glowing shitball and thought i allready could do it.
A bit wierd that i can see the ones i havnt unlocked...

[open rivet]

you have a plugin, no?

[warm snow]

You're using a plugin to see them -_-

[open rivet]

cuz arr doesn't have balls

[warm snow]

[leaden ginkgo]

does endwalker have new beast tribes or not yet ? and did they add crafters quests past lvl 70?

[faint flare]

No

[open rivet]

no beast tribes yet

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thank you

[copper scaffold]

gotme. Sorry, i didnt knew this wasnt a vanilla feature. It looked the same in videos i saw and just thought its normal ^^

[warm snow]

We don't judge for that, it's a great plugin and arr sightseeing is dogshit

[merry merlin]

There are quest lines similar to the facets in shb

[warm snow]

It just makes this complaint null and void

[leaden ginkgo]

which map do i get the quests?

[warm snow]

Sharlayan

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thanks !

[last mural]

Beast tribes will be added later (i think 6.1?). At least 2 beast tribes has already been confirmed
Technically no more crafter quests, but ShB and EW has Facets/Studium deliveries instead

[warm snow]

Bit sad, the last batch had some great stories

[warm snow]

You have, hot for teacher, introvert poetry and stars, archon loaf 2 electric boogaloo, academic pissing contest and well, honestly I don't have a good one for the fisher

[honest anvil]

confirmed beasts are loporits and matanga?

[warm snow]

Just matanaga officially

But loporrits are stupid obvious

[honest anvil]

i thought numou were obvious too ..

[warm snow]

Well they're part of the fae folk of il mheg so technically

[solemn jewel]

Actually Loporitts are under "New Tribes" on the website

Next to the Arkasodara

[last mural]

I believe that those names are technically spoilers, but yeah, they're confirmed

[oak quarry]

yoo deadass?

[last mural]

A 3rd is still unconfirmed for huge spoiler reasons i would assume

[green grail]

but probably the o[...]n from zone 6

[restive sand]

where do i go to enter golden saucer gate

[last mural]

I think it's more probably the soccer game publisher instead, because they were largely undeveloped storywise

[raven willow]

How do you become a paladin?

[solemn jewel]

Lvl gladiator to 30

[open rivet]

the ||café you unlock after stigma|| seems like a really obvious one to me

[last mural]

Be a gladiator, be lv 30, do your job quests

[raven willow]

Tysm 🙂

Ty ^^

[warm snow]

Yeah but that's also a big fuck off spoiler so that won't be acknowledged any time soon

[green grail]

there's a different entrance npc for each one, it's on the map and minimap

[last mural]

... omg... this might actually be it

[hallow wolf]

GATEs are on the map as a typical FATE icon, but you can look at a little gold disk-like icon on the map to find the NPCs that warp you there

Labeled as Gate Keepers

[restive sand]

oh ok

if i miss it at the 20 minute mark i have to wait?

[hallow wolf]

You have a decent timeframe to join but if you miss it completely, yeah

[hidden cypress]

they stay for a while like 5 minutes sometimes 2

[obsidian patio]

Leap of Faith and Air Force One stay for 10 minutes

[green grail]

different per gate too, some give you like 2 minutes to enter then you participate, others have a 10 minute entrance period for another instance like air force one or the jumping puzzles

[hallow wolf]

Ones that take place in the main plaza like The Slice Is Right have a short time frame, ones that warp you like the jump puzzles are longer

[obsidian patio]

Typhon/Yojimbo stay for 2 or 3 minutes before locking off

[hidden cypress]

slice is right is also the best one

[open rivet]

it's the worst cuz cups are entirely rng

[copper scaffold]

These collapsing hotbars poeple build with macros, basically take up hotbars from some of the jobs, if I understood it correctly ?

[hidden cypress]

noo just be good 😼

[hidden cypress]

thats how i kind of understood it but you can use like the #10 hotbar or something unless if you use that already

[green grail]

usually from classes, which have separate hotbar "memory" from their jobs

[hidden cypress]

that makes more sense

[green grail]

like i put my tank gearsets on lancer hotbars, then you do this

[copper scaffold]

Ohh i see. I was asking this as I was confussed because the video discirption mentioned that you had to have 2 or 3 classes at 30 for this and i only have paladin unlocked from the starting class job combinations, ty guys

[sick osprey]

can sb explain why i can't play triple triad against this guy (gegeruju in costa de sol)? the only condition wiki lists is a lvl34 MSQ which i have completed https://i.imgur.com/zywqBXH.png

[green grail]

have you tried clicking on him to see if its an option

[sick osprey]

ofc

[hidden cypress]

ive had this same problem with a buy at the limsa gc hq, it was just a 20 msq quest

and nothing shows

[green grail]

https://i.gyazo.com/6e051708a73c387cf2e865245e7c9670.mp4 it's there for me even without any TT icons

[hidden cypress]

theres no tt icon bc u have his cards

[leaden ginkgo]

You need to complete several side quests to unlock it

[sick osprey]

i have completed all quests up to stormblood

ALL quests

[hidden cypress]

side quest

[sick osprey]

yes

[copper scaffold]

What do I do with all these random items in my inventory ? I am just done with ARR and also did a fair bit of sidequests and my inventory is full with dye's, a trillion different potions and all kind of materials.

[leaden ginkgo]

Untrue, even if you have all cards the TT icon is still there until you beat the person

[hidden cypress]

yeah well they probably beat the npc for the cards...

[sick osprey]

turn green/blue/pink gear to GC seals, desynth white. sell other stuff on MB if valuable, else vendor

[restive sand]

does MGP cards affect challenge log too

[ebon valley]

How many hours you reckon for a beginner just starting to get to the latest patch? If they read all story

[hidden cypress]

probably like 300? idk

[warm snow]

No

[hidden cypress]

youll also probably be sidetracked a lot

[sick osprey]

i had 600h /playtime when i reached the end of MSQ back in 5.3, but i wasn't 100% focusing on MSQ only ofc

[ebon valley]

oh god seriously

[warm snow]

Speedrun skipping cutscenes is 52 hours

[ebon valley]

Also any reason I can't make hrothgar or viera charas?

[sick osprey]

ppl actually speedrun this ??

[copper scaffold]

@sick osprey wait, i can use old gear for these seals ? Shit, i allways just dropped it to stay organized as i thought they arent worth shit. Is there a fast way to check if a item is worth something on MB ?

[warm snow]

You don't own shb

Also means you can't even get to the latest patch lol

[hidden cypress]

how long

[open rivet]

all story or just msq?
all would be at least 2000hrs.
just msq clocks in at probably 300-800hrs

[sick osprey]

universalis.app

[ebon valley]

Yeah I'm starting on trial

[hidden cypress]

for beat shb

[warm snow]

Idk, 52 is ew

[last mural]

Yeah, u can't make those races unless u buy the expansions

[ebon valley]

Race doesn't matter in terms of stats right? Just looks?

[warm snow]

Just looks

[hidden cypress]

reading everything was specified though

[warm snow]

Devs want you to have fun

[ebon valley]

I can't change race later can I, without paying monies

[warm snow]

You get a free race change pot for beating 2.0

[ebon valley]

Yeah I'm pretty enthused about how much the devs and community love each other

[copper scaffold]

Ty @sick osprey

[hidden cypress]

you get 1 free character makeover

[last mural]

Yep. I mean they do have like... a tiny difference in stats, but to the point where there's no difference at all

[last mural]

Beating ARR (up to lv 50 MSQ) will grant u a free Fantasia, allowing u to redo your character appearance ONCE

[obsidian patio]

the small stat difference you see in the character creation screen stays the same all the way to 90

[last mural]

they haven't given out any free Fantasia since...

[sick osprey]

you can get 1 fantasia in game, idk where i got it but i have 1 and i didnt buy it

[obsidian patio]

those 4-5 points basically mean nothing

[ebon valley]

OH GAWT vierra is the bunny girls.

So I can buy SB and then use my chara redo?

[warm snow]

Nope

[hidden cypress]

its for beating arr pre patch

[warm snow]

Lol

[warm snow]

Game isn't for sale

Until Jan 25th

[hidden cypress]

if hes already on trial it is no?

[warm snow]

Then you'll need to buy base game + dlc to unlock viera

[ebon valley]

I can get in because I had the client downloaded and account made before the suspension lol

[last mural]

Can he still buy the game i wonder?

[warm snow]

Still can't upgrade to the actual game til sales resume and dlc won't work til you have that

[ebon valley]

Aha yep. But if I buy it then I can reset my chara to them right? If I wanted to

[last mural]

Ah... yeah, so u gotta wait for the 25th Jan before u can do so

[ebon valley]

Au Ra looks gud atm

[warm snow]

Yes

[last mural]

Provided u have a fantasia

[ebon valley]

Yeah I would need to buy base game, which is in suspension atm

[last mural]

You only ever get 1 for free. Any more and u'll have to buy them from the online store

[warm snow]

Problem is, you can't apply the fantasia if the server is super busy which is how it will be when sales resume

So just be warned

[hidden cypress]

just do it during night

[warm snow]

Also most headgear is invisible on viera

[ebon valley]

Anyone remember if it had a time limit?

[sonic ginkgo]

where can I find lv90 training dummies?

[warm snow]

It doesn't

[obsidian patio]

right outside of Labyrinthos first aetheryte are the ones i prefer

[ebon valley]

yeah nice. I'll just play up to end of trial and then see how we go

Trial doesn't have level cap atm right?

[warm snow]

60

[ebon valley]

Does that mean I hit 60 and need to pay, or I can't level up until I pay?

[warm snow]

Trial is basically the entire base game without social features

[warm snow]

Can't level up or play any story/content in stormblood or beyond

[ebon valley]

Nice, so I don't have to worry about overleveling at the beginning and getting locked out of content

If I get to that point I'm sure I'd be happy to pay for it anyway

[warm snow]

You will more than likely be wasting msq exp if you max out the free trial

But that's up to you whether or not you commit

[ebon valley]

aha yes

very helpful

gawt Au Ras are kewt

[warm snow]

Also @ebon valley. When sales resume on January queues are gonna get worse and free trial accounts are barred from queues. So you might have trouble actually logging in for a few days

Otherwise have fun

[ebon valley]

aha

We'll see how I go with the game. Life should get busy for me around then anyway, so I'm thinking to get a start now so I can just come back to it later

less barrier

all these character options

When I do fantasia I can also remake chara design right?

[warm snow]

Full reuse of character creator

[barren granite]

i just saw a player pull out something like an iphone and then ported off .. what is that ??

[solemn jewel]

Tomestone emote probably?

[barren granite]

ah

[sick osprey]

reposting this question, i still have no idea why i can't play TT against this guy

[hidden cypress]

you need to do some side quests or something

[ebon valley]

height makes no difference right?
I once played a game where it effected range and attspd minimally

[hidden cypress]

but i guess its not really documented anywhere

[hidden cypress]

makes you taller

[warm snow]

Have you unlocked tt duels with npcs in the saucer?

[warm snow]

No

[sick osprey]

idk what to tell you, i have completed ALL side quests in all of ARR and HW

[hidden cypress]

really all side quests

ur crazy

[solemn jewel]

Nothing in the character creator has any bearing on gameplay

[hidden cypress]

but idk what to tell you either

[sick osprey]

yes, this guy is holding one of the last ARR cards i need

[astral cobalt]

desynthesis question : any way to know if an item will give me some desynth XP ?

[barren granite]

they still give it for free for linking accounts ?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[barren granite]

👍

[obsidian patio]

nope, but if it's like 50 or more levels below your current desynth level it'll probably give close to nothing

[astral cobalt]

thanks that's helpful, I noticed some didnt give anymore but had no idea of the values

[ebon valley]

Does chara birthday matter at all? Am I supposed to put in my own?

[hidden cypress]

no

[obsidian patio]

birthday has absolutely no bearing

the game doesn't use it for anything as far as i can tell

[ebon valley]

why is there so much stuff

[hidden cypress]

for fun

[ebon valley]

what is patron deity

[hidden cypress]

that gives u like some stats i think

[obsidian patio]

Deity choice used to change elemental resistance slightly

[hidden cypress]

but its minuscule

[obsidian patio]

doesn't anymore since that was removed

You only see your Deity choice at your Eternal Bonding ceremony

AKA player wedding

[ebon valley]

cute.

Any recommendations for class to start with?

[inland quarry]

whatever seems fun to you

[hidden cypress]

what kind of things do yo ulike playing

[oak quarry]

marauder

[ebon valley]

melee, more active

[inland quarry]

dragoon/monk

[hidden cypress]

pgl?

[sick osprey]

u can also see it on your character screen https://i.imgur.com/SsOEBiw.png

but it all means nothing

[hidden cypress]

dragoon/monk=lancer/pugilist

[inland quarry]

ah right my bad

[true jolt]

Nani

[ebon valley]

is marauder being made fun of?

[oak quarry]

no

[ebon valley]

I wunna see my cute pink hair girl swing an ax

[hidden cypress]

marauder

[inland quarry]

go marauder then

[oak quarry]

marauder fun

[true jolt]

Marauder theme is "man/woman too angry too die"

[obsidian patio]

Marauder is a tank, just to note.

same with Gladiator.

[hidden cypress]

marauder is tryndamere

[ebon valley]

ah

I'll go with dps for now

[inland quarry]

pretty much

[ebon valley]

pgl

[inland quarry]

man too angry to die

[oak quarry]

fair

[hidden cypress]

lancer, archer, pugilist, arcanist, thaumaturge

are dps

after your lv 10 class quest you can also take rogue

[oak quarry]

i miss rogues

ninjas are kinda lame

[inland quarry]

sameeee

[ebon valley]

I'm in AU. I've chosen Europe, Light. That's good right? Chaos/light is essentially same?

[inland quarry]

i wish it was a d&d type of rogue

[hidden cypress]

australia?

[inland quarry]

not a naruto type of rogue

[ebon valley]

America is further away but EU still has Poor connection

Yeah Aus

[hidden cypress]

unlucky

[warm snow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[hidden cypress]

does monk need good ping

[oak quarry]

there’s an oceania data center opening in like uhhh 12 days?

[warm snow]

Don't worry about what your starter job is pick what you think is neat

[inland quarry]

oceanic dc are gonna launch later this year right?

[ebon valley]

wait seriously? 😮

[warm snow]

25th jan

[hidden cypress]

might want to wait then

[inland quarry]

that's close

[ebon valley]

I'm guessing there'll be no data transfer?

[inland quarry]

not after rework

[inland quarry]

not for free

[warm snow]

Date announced this morning

[oak quarry]

i think the fee gets waived if you transfer to OCE

[warm snow]

Free transfers cuz they need players in new worlds

[inland quarry]

oh

[warm snow]

just like amazon

[inland quarry]

nice

[oak quarry]

so yes for free

[warm snow]

It's all in the pins lads

[ebon valley]

Nice. So I can start and then transfer over later

[warm snow]

Idk if free trial can transfer

Any mentor want to weigh in on that?

[ebon valley]

Just confirming: this is speculation atm?

[warm snow]

No this is outright known

[restive sand]

any recommendations where to go to get ezpz triple triad wins just for the challenge log weekly?

[mild ermine]

right at the gold saucer

[warm snow]

I just do the battle hall, 2 birds

[oak quarry]

beat up the npcs at the gold saucer

[restive sand]

alrighty thanks all

[obsidian patio]

Free trial cannot use the home world transfer service

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/option_service/world_transfer_service/

[warm snow]

@ebon valley there you go, no transfer for you, you'll have to make a new chara then or buy the game

[ebon valley]

mhm. So if I wanted to transfer free I'll have to buy game

[hidden cypress]

yeah but also youll need to transfer before they close the free transfer

idk how long that would take

[ebon valley]

yep

I can buy base game without expansions right?

[warm snow]

Free transfer will be until the new status is removed

[hidden cypress]

at jan 25th you can

[obsidian patio]

last time they did server-related stuff for free transfers, it was like a solid 2 weeks for when they shuffled up the NA/EU datacenters

[warm snow]

Yes but from then on you'll have to pay sub(comes with 30 days) and you don't really get any new content

[obsidian patio]

but since it's New Worlds, the free transfers to them will last until SE no longer considers them new

[oak quarry]

if you really want to play on the new data centers you might do well just to wait a bit

[ebon valley]

Okay thanks. I'm going to start today because I've got an easy one or two weeks before getting busy again

Then see how I feel about the game

[restive sand]

this game is so fun haha

nice community too

[barren granite]

👍

[ebon valley]

Do I have limited skill points in this game per class, or does everything get maxed in the end?

[glossy flare]

there are no skill points to allocate whatsoever
