But not likely
for 4 seater mount, I reckon easiest is E4S undersized
unsynced
you can't undersize e4s
Is it possible to control which shoulder your minion sits on?
afaik no
for lalas they sit on top of their heads
It's race based
why do they make miqo superior in every way ;_;
all the bstance and vposes look left so on highlander there's so much clipping
gonna boop this question again
race determines which shoulder they sit on ?
I think so yeah, for Lala is on their head
ya LALA is new hats 🙂 intersting about the shoulders tho. Thats cool.
Question... I found the 2015 edition of FFXIV that includes A Realm Reborn and Heavensward for $20. According to this, I'll just need the Endwalker for $20. Will I be missing anything?
If a quests asks me to enhance a weapon with tier 3 materia, while I enhance it with tier 4 materia, does it still count towards the quest? Or is it strictly tier 3 materia
if it says tier 3, then tier 3
Damn alright
thats the collectors edition upgrade not endwalker
endwalker is 40$
EndWalker is 40 dollars but yeah that’s everything
Gotcha
the collectors edition upgrade is just extra 20$ for the bonus cosmetics and collectors edition stuff
Thanks guys.
so i think i've acquired all the eagle mounts from HW EX trials. where is the quest that gives me the firebird mount?
Whats the best way to level from 50-80?
What are suggested items to purchase w seals? Besides glamour prisms
Story
Besides story, I'm specifically asking 50-80 because its another class...
!faq altlevelguide
ty
venture, hw relic ingredients, and the gacha box cosmetic
cordial, submarine ingredients, many
That of course is assuming you’ve ranked up enough to have those options
Is that stuff in the final rank?
I don't remember, the gacha box one is new
but if you don't have access to those, then just use your seal to rank up
Ahhhh ok so basically only thing of value I have access to is glamour prisms lol 😂
then just rank up
Yeah got it, thank you
how many peices of fruit usual;ly does a seed / tree produce ?
And it requires captain
were there any new hairstyles added in endwalker for hyur males?
Specifically hyur males? No
😦 thx
do you get the same exp doing duties with your Squadron as you would queueing for them normally?
Yes
cool ty
whats the best zone in endwalker for FATES inbetween dungeon queues while leveling?
the exp is very similar for all of them, I'd just pick whatever zone has an active group
then move around as you get your shared fates to rank 3
I mean what level are you
in order to x breed seeds, do i just plant them next to each other ?
next to each other and pray for luck
83 almost 84
using grade 3 soil ? or does that matter ?
yes grade 3 soil and fertilize them
kk
Then you should be in zone 3 or 4 doing those FATES
level almost doesnt matter. I've done fates in the final zone around 82-83 and got gold on everything
oh ok thats good to know
it's harder and more dangerous mind you so closer to your level is good, but it's almost the same exp per hour in any EW zone doing fates
Thanalan soil does increase the odds of crosses.
also one tip, when you plant seeds next to each other, only the 2nd seeds onward will have the chance to cross. for some reason, it won't work on the very first seed you plant since it technically wasn't planted next to anything. If you have extra seeds, use a cheap soil to plant your first seed and then replace it after you work your way in a circle around to it
they're all around 200-250k base with gold
that's an amazing tip and I had no idea
ahh good lookin out EatingWay 🙂 ill do that
i would of wasted the first spot then
I never thought to ask, but.... do mobs with enclosed circles (I forget the proper term) even allow for positionals?
they assume you hit the optimal positional at all times
you're welcome, also just to spread knowledge, the most important thing is to tend to the crops before they wither. Fertilizing becomes less impactful when the seed takes less time to grow and also the further along the growth is. Fertilizing reduces the remaining growth time by 1% of its current remaining growth time So if it takes 72 hours to grow something, fertilizing immediately will eliminate 43.2 minutes, and then fertilizing again exactly 1 hour later will eliminate 42.16 minutes, and so on. It's most important to fertilize as often as possible in the first day
so no need to wiggle about or use true north?
!faq positional
No there isn’t
none at all. if it's a complete closed circle it has no flank or rear at all
ah, okay. good to know, thanks
dang, another good tip !! Thanks for the knowledge
Or I suppose a better way to word it, the entire circle is both flank and rear
Yeah, the way you explained it worked better than that image ^^
just because it got lost up there :p ....
If I do a home world transfer when they open up, I have to adandon my house. What happens.... to all my furniture. Does it get mailed back to me or do I need to find storage space for all 300+ pieces of it
and I assume I need to leave my apartment too
how helpful is it to get gatherers up before starting crafters 1-90
if you're transferring to a standard world, you have to relinquish both house and apartment before you can transfer. if you're transferring to a new /preferred world then ```Bonuses for owners of personal housing/apartments
Personal housing
Reimbursement for the full price of the estate, plus compensation of 3,000,000 gil for non-recoverable furnishings
* Please apply for a Home World transfer after removing your estate hall and furnishings, but DO NOT relinquish the land. If you have relinquished the deed to your plot, you will not be eligible to receive the bonuses outlined above.
Apartments
Reimbursement of the 500,000 gil price, and compensation of 500,000 gil for non-recoverable furnishings
* Please apply for a Home World transfer after removing your furnishings, but DO NOT vacate the apartment. If you have relinquished the rights to your property, you will not be eligible to receive the bonuses outlined above.
no it'll be to midgardsormyr. not new or preferred
but do I have to extract all my furnishings and stuff first or does it get mailed back to me like an auto-demolition
so then you need to relinquish your house and apartment before you can apply
you can't relinquish with furniture in the house/apartment
can people still buy ffxiv?
they let you make money rather than breaking even or spending while leveling crafters. if you have the extra time to spend gathering mats
oh ok
so once my chocobo reaches rank 10 and only then is when i feed her the thavnarian Onion ? And this will allow her to gain xp passed rank 10 to rank 20 ? or do i need to keep feeding them to her ?
purchases open back up on the 25th
yes 1 per level. every level
ok cool
wow, im glad i got the collector's edition and my thinking was "better get it while i can"
There is this crazy helmet I found by accident and I think it’s called Odins mantle? It’s black with huge horns on it it looks awesome but I can’t find enough information on it to see if I can use it in my summoner or how to get it
want to make sure i use it correcty. dont want to waste the onion now 🙂
About buying the game, not sure if it's against the rules or wtv but can you buy keys online like of g2a?
it wont let you us the onion if it wont do anything
you could but it's not any cheaper and still wont allow you to make a new account. Plus you're supporting thieves and criminals 🙂
im glad im not just getting into the game
We wouldn't recommend it because there's a non-zero chance the key won't work or worse whoever obtained the key did it through illicit means
Tried logging in on a different PC, got the security risk thing, got the code, but it doesn't tell me WHERE to input it
strongly recommend to not buy from unauthorized third party sellers like g2a as they are a grey market seller, and there is a chance the key you buy is bought with a stolen credit card. this puts your account at risk of being permanently banned if found that it is
Yeah I'm not planning on it lmao I'm happily playing the game was just asking cuz ik I have friends that want to play and they've considered methods like that
yeah them saying "oh we sell 'used' keys so its okay" total sugar coat
they cant create accounts, has nothing to do with a license key
Sales are going to be resuming here soon anyway so no reason to put themselves at risk anyway
not used but like
2nd hand, unwanted etc
bs
they for sure are taking stolen keys
also i like if i buy a game on steam and i dont like it, complete fast refund, cant do that if u buy outside the platform
Is there a way to dispell glamours all at once?
while on the topic of glamors, is there anyway to make presets for when your gear rapidly changes?
There's a dispeller plate with your regular plates
You just need dispellers for each piece you want to remove
glamour plates
which you make at an inn or a barracks
at the glamour dresser
You mean the ones that im currently wearing or with my inventory as well?
What you're currently wearing
can you u switch em out on the road?
There's no way to remove glamours all at once from your inventory
Shid
Thank you very much 
only in sanctuaries
is it important to know the coil story for shb ew and so on
i never listened to the story and im gonna do ew now someone said i should brush up on the coil lore
So I know that when you kill for example p2s, when you go into p1s, you cannot get loot from p1s anymore (except the tome I think, right?)
But does it also mean that when you zone into p2s, even when you DO NOT kill p2s, you get locked out of loot from p1s?
The moment you enter p2s, you forfeit loot from p1s
What should I be doing after the Heavensward main story, before the patch quests? Apparently I should be doing some alliance raids(?), ||Alexander and Warring Triad|| but I don't know what the right order is.
the game doesn't seem to tell you about this stuff so I'm kinda lost rn
they're all optional
if you wanna do them they're separate questlines so you can do them however you want
do carpenters use offhand?
how much of a dps's damage should a tank be doing? like ~60%?
yes, all crafters and gatherers have an offhand
claw hammers are carpenters'
does the wandering minstral give all the EX trials in kugane for SB?
binding coils was optional but seemed pretty important, is there a chronological order for this stuff?
Not rathalos
anyone?
not much
that's weird. he doesn't have any quest to give me and i only have 4 EX trials in duty finder
and i've done all of them

if I'm trying to farm a glamour from a dungeon unsynced, is it possible that the best method is just rushing first 2 chests then resetting instance because it might be faster?
each chest drops a different piece
i just finished the questline but im so confused
do i ask questions in lore spoilers
are you sure he gives every EX trial except the rathalos one?
dunno what to do to unlock the rest tbh
did you actually talk to him
yes
because they aren't quests
they're just talking to the minstrel and telling him the story
i'm about to go into zot as blm and realize I don't know my aoe rotation with flare being changed. blizzard II > freeze > Fire II > Fire II > flare now?
he gives me 2 dialogue bubbles and then nothing more
gamerescape is probably your best bet but its not 100% on the newest dungeons
Also you don't have all of the normal trials for stormblood unlocked anyway
you need to do the 4 lords quest chain
oh is that so
yep, + thunder 4 and foul
didn't know
!quest An Auspicious Encounter
oh thunder of course

For data center travel, how is it different from world visiting? My brother plays from a jp world and i play in na, so does this mean i wont be able to travel and play with him?
it's not implemented yet so we don't know all the details yet but so far they only said within datacenters^
and all the info we know comes from the post in #lodestone-news-na so you can check it out for all the available info as well
Thx :\
That quest is a blue quest that should have popped up as you were doing 4.2
found it!
if you hover over the tooltips it tells you what the item is glamoured to
god i wish it was easier to know this stuff. still haven't found out how to unlock the odin trial
I hear sales are coming back on January 25 so I can buy the complete edition then. I’m gonna purchase it on my Ps5 but I’m wondering how do you subscribe for an account when you get it? Can it be done through the Ps5 or you can only subscribe monthly through mogstation?
Mmm that’s a blue quest at the Twin adder HQ
thru mogstation
just look it up
Or the east shroud.
There’s only 3 quests
Yes search engines are popular for a reason
i've looked it up before but when i searched around for the required quests they weren't around
xd
oh well. i'll try later today i guess
I am on playstation. What do you mean hover over. And then i see the glamour name? Because i only see the actual armor names. Not the glamor names
thanks for the help!
should i buy ironwork armor or wait until im in heaven, (my tomb current are almost full)

Then it just leads you into the others
when you put the cursor (i guess using virtual mouse for playstation, don't play it), the tooltip will change to the name of the item glamoured
after a short delay
Oooooh. Now i see it. Thank you so much
Is the positional check instanly on button press or somewhere in/at the end of the animation?
I'm real sorry if this isn't the right place! I've been having a lot of fun practicing playing instruments in-game, but the queue during the day is a little long to log in just for that right now. Are there any external programs etc people have made to practice performances in ff14?
So I’m new to tanking. What does invul/mintigate mean
Tank immunity and defensive Cooldowns
ie: your “die slower” buttons
So for war I’d use Holmgang or I have to use a defensive skill as well
No

10s of not dying
what are these 2 use for
Read the description
oh
ah, reading
do I need to have all crafters max level to over meld all of my endgame crafted gear?
cul can meld
Didn't know there were higher grade manuals I could buy! Sweet
also technically don't need crafters leveled, can always ask someone else to do it for you
oh, it can? disregard me then
What voice for male midlands hyur is closest to ardberts?
I'm doing an undersized party for loot, I got the loot so can I end the duty or will I lose the loot?
can leave once you've opened the chest and gotten the loot you want\
don't have to clear the dungeon to keep loot
i am trying to buy a subscription for ff14 but i keep getting error 406 everytime although i have enough money to buy my sub

Recommend head down to #technology-discussion, as this sounds like a more complex issue with information you are likely leaving out, whether you're aware of it or not, and people dithering about exchange rates isn't going to help you with your issue.
Anyone know a good source that's up to date for locating aether currents?
Use your compass
In the Pugilist quests, I noticed Hamon Holyfist using an ability called Featherfoot that increases evasion. Am I supposed to learn this somewhere?
no
NPCs in job quests sometimes use skills from past versions of the game
so they may not exist anymore today
Ah
or they're just npc specific
It just felt kinda strange, since he's the Pugilist mentor and all
How long would it take to get my rdm mage into the anemos version from eureka. also any tips for eureka grinding
When a buff says it lasts 18 hours, does that carry over even if you log-off?
it ticks down when you activate it
Well you need to get your RDM to 70
Then you can get into anemos
If you can get a decent party going
like 2-3 hours
if you just started
Yes, but iirc the timer keeps running even while you are logged off
like a day, maybe less
If you want anemos gear
depending how many fates you can pop
you just need a lot of crystals
@glossy flare TY.
do 0 chest clears of Savage still give you a book
yeah i just wanna know effective ways to get crystals
no
rip
that would invalidate the point
you just do a billion NMs
could just farm the books to get the gear
0 chests - all 8 cleared
that's it
yeah
wait
Nm as in what exactly
wait
Notorious Monster
ahhhh
The only fates on anemos
ya, that was my question, if you got a book if you had 4- people who cleared but you haven't
yeah the books are a weekly clear reward per person
you still can't get more than one book per week
just there wouldn't be a chest
does that mean in 1 chest clears, people who have cleared already can't roll on loot? how does that work
in savage you get one chance per week to roll
good to know
and materials
alos
entering higher floors automatically forfeits previous floor rewards
so if you enter P4S
you automatically give up P1S, P2S, P3S rewards
You get warned about it
when doing positional attacks, when does the positional bonus trigger? is it as soon as I press down on my key, or when my guy physically deals damage?
when you use the skill

It snapshots when the cast goes out*
yeah
which for instant casts and weaponskills
is the moment you use the skill
where is endwalker savage raids sky stone sea?
i guess I have to do a quest before?
unlock quest is in radz at han
in the case of spells
it's shortly before they finish casting (0.5s~, ping dependant)
same with any weaponskills that have a cast time (midare)
if there isn't a
in radz you have to do the stone sky sea unlock quest in idyllshire first
it's a

If you've already unlocked it, it's in the northern village in Thavnair.
well it'll be a

So I just read the new news in terms of the data centers, do we know what exactly they mean by "logical" and "physical" data centers?
so let em see
check Palaka's
physical - EU vs NA
all data centers of a given region are in the same physical location
logical - Chaos vs Light
for example all NA dcs are in Cali
logical dcs are the dcs you can pick in the game
Chaos and Light are different logically, the same physically
Primal and Chaos are different logically and physically
A "logical" datacenter is a grouping of servers - Primal, Crystal, etc. A "physical" datacenter is the physical location where those servers are located. All of the NA datacenters are in California. EU are in... Germany, I think.
like Primal, Crystal and so on
so basically when dc travel finally launches, if someone is in primal, they can travel to crystal and aether but not any EU data centers
yes
Correct
aight. cool.
And as it stands, whether they make cross-region available is up in the air
Mainly due to economic differences
once unlocked sky stone sea where is the npc located?
i believe i already have done the quest
Palaka's Stand
Palaka's Stand.
will we be able to travel to the new NA data center when it launches if you're an NA player?
dunno what that is D:
yes
It's the northernmost teleport point in Thavnair.
oo okay thank you
. it's in thavnair. there's an aetheryte.
Also northernmost
it's also northern
😄
do we know if it'll have a new xp boost for setting your homeworld there like a road to 90 buff or nah
It's literally the same buff
You just also get a moving bonus of 10 silver chocobo feathers if you transfer
Or 1M gil upon reaching level 30 if you create a new character.
And housing compensation for transferring
keep in mind you do not get the road to 90 buff if you transfer
you must make a new character for it
how do you stay geared up as you level gathering? do you keep up with the story quests or buy from ah
You do this time.

if I duo seiryu ex as healer+x do I get targeted both times split beam in the last phase?
If it's a split mechanic, then yes.
Does synced content bring our stat to certain amount? Or they reduce it by certain percentage?
Brings your stats to a set figure.
So no matter what did i meld, or how jigh my level is, it will be set to this stats number?
If the duty doesn’t specify otherwise, your stats are lowered to the best possible stats you could have for that level
Yes
melds are ignored when sync'd anyway
Level 50 content being i130, 60 for i270, 70 for i400, and 80 for i530
That's why you'll see people with identical HP numbers in synced content.
Best possible stat? Like its possible to cap crit if i go into haukke manor with level 90 bis?
You don’t need 90 gear for that
You always get downsynced so it doesn't matter.
Best possible for that level
Just 50 gear would do
Haukke normal would be best possible level 31 gear/stats
stats are brought down to specific caps relative to the ilvl for that duty
Anything higher is meaningless cause it's already over them
There's no relative scaling. That's why you'll see people of the same gear types with identical HP amounts when you're synced down.
Because it's a fixed number.
Substats are the same. Fixed numbers.
I was expecting something like...
Lets say i have 1400 crit
Then i entered this haukke manor, my stat reduced to lets say 400 crit
But that 400 crit actually has like 90% crit chance or something in haukke
Ie: if Vit caps at 100 for that duty on gear, any gear with 100 or more vit will give the same hp
No
Each level has its own stat tiers
How good is this fixed? Is it something like maxed crit chance?
Why am i this dumb 
No. It's as good as you can get at that level with dungeon/tomestone gear.
That's it.
You can never get 100% crit without mega stacking buff
It's very straightforward
Gear is brought to specific stat caps for that ilvl
Each level has its own stat tiers that determine how good each stat is
Everything scales, including relative stat values.
How do I share hotbars and settings between characters?
You’d have to go into the files and copy/paste from there
19 votes and 10 comments so far on Reddit
Is there anyway to make all crafter skill bar to look all the same?
Mine looks like a mess and i got no time to drag the icon one by one again
If I have a trial account with a character on Primal, will I be able to move them to Materia when it opens?
You need a full account to use the home world transfer
I mean i could just screenshot the skillbar from one crafter thenn change into other and put them in to be the same but it sounds like lot of work
But besides that, yes
you can technically make a macro for it
1 second
/hotbar copy GSM 1 current 1 /hotbar copy GSM 2 current 2 /hotbar copy GSM 3 current 3
just put that in a macro
lay out gsm on hotbars 1-3
and then run that macro on each other doh job
Hello, im getting an 601 error when trying to renew my sub, anyone know a solution?

How soloable is A8S at 90?
Still impossible
You can't kill it before gavel/the pentacle resolves
You need to burst it down in like....a very short amount of time
A8s is brute
and it's doable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywKvKB2wdy0
Soloing this on reaper is quite rng dependant in a lot of factors. The clone dashes have to be good ( they were not in this run either that or i fucked up), and you need great RNG to burst him down at the end. The run before this i cleared it way before gavel, in this run i killed it at the last possible millisecond. Once crafted gear and sava...
though probably requires a lot of lucky crits and skill
Yeah I tried it on rpr initially and I got to the end yet I had no idea how the fight worked so I fumbled around
Honestly the maiming top just looks real nice
just get like one or two fc members or friends to help you.
Ok so my CUL has the most neat looking skill bar
That means i should put copy CUL 1 current 1 etc right?
Then i change to LTW, then execture the macro, ARM, and so on?
Yes
correct
Ok thanks

How do you enter Delubrum Reginae duo/solo?
Can't find the raid in the duty finder list therefor unable to set it to unrestricted, NPC only allows me to queue up with matchmaking
You know how you can hold both mouse buttons to run forward? Has anyone had inconsistency with this ever since Endwalker release? Or do I just need a new mouse
I don't want to get queued up but enter as a part or solo
You have to que
Does this mean it will always match make, but it allows u to queue up with different party numbers?
And then you enter after 10mins
Which means you can be put in solo
If no one is queing
Which not many are
What do you do if u keep failing the DPS check boss(queens)?
queen has a dps check??
Third, fourth boss I believe
oh
What if the others who queued up doesnt have it
I assume the dungeon scales based on the party number
Tell them to use it
There's literally a box at the start
You need essences for low man
This sentence is only referring to the party composition when entering. You can queue by yourself (solo), as a party (2-8 players), or as an alliance (combination of two or three parties).
yeah gotcha, thanks
These so called essences something u get by farming it right?
So players wont have it by default
and without it, you can't do it?
Sorta kinda technical question that might not even have an answer:
Ignoring lag etc, how long does it take for damage number to show up once you successfully pushed a skill? And for stuff with visible projectiles, like fire, do the distance affect the timing?
Another way I can see this would be, during attack animation, when is the damage number shown? I assume that the calculation is done at the start when you succeed in delivering the attack?
does this mean rip bozo?
Rip
the treasure chest uncourteously disappeared
oh nvm this one costs pennies compared to the HW inks
Still, a good reminder that you should keep your inventory organized
I have an issue: I can't access the lv90 scrip exchange.
I try to find the questgiver but she doesn't give any quests.
Question: I thought the roulette would give you more EXP. I've done them all, for the most part, and I only really got 1 level? That normal?
Thats more or less waht I meant I guess.
Frontlines is decent...trials and normals don't give thaaaat much but they're quick enough
50/60 etc is shit
Why is the Expanded House of Splendors questgiver not giving any quests?

You can't unlock radz scrips without unlocking the others
From what I've noticed, this is dependent on both the specific skill animation and the total number of enemies hit and their distance relative to you (for AoE skills)—and then based on whether or not you're weaving skills.
For example, if I'm on Bard and I use Blast Arrow, the damage won't show up until very very late in the weave window because it's waiting to show up until the animation shows the arrows hitting the target. But if I weave EA immediately after Blast, the Blast damage will pop up as soon as EA starts, despite Blast's arrows still hanging in the air.
are all auto attack physical?
Similarly, with, say, Quick Nock, the damage hits will pop up from nearest target hit to farthest in sequential order. However, if I weave Rain of Death immediately after, all the QN damage hits will jump onto the screen at the same time.
Yes
So tl'dr .... it's funky?
and auto are still … max melee?
If you make your SMN do auto attack, you'd need to walk to melee distance
Then your SMN will start smacking the enemies with their book
thanks
Do the Pixie Wings bound to my character if I use them? Or can I sell them after? I just want to see how they look.
Ahhh, gotcha. Damn, tough choice. They are going for 1.2 mil
Hmmm, perhaps that the damage number display are on a timed queue, but rain of death just push all your quick nock out
Just so that you won't see quick nock and rain of death number interweave with each other
Very acute observation btw
Why when I play ffxiv at 4k on my PC everything looks too bright and weird?
Can't even see the map
Si I have never done any of the fashion reports or know where that is located. Can someone please tell me where it's located?
From the gold saucer
for eureka poetics farming, do i just level up in the zone to do the fate grind in order to farm poetics? that's what i get from youtube video but not too sure what's the proper way to farm
Is scaling weird? Like, if a level 80 does a level 50 Trail. Will they do more DPS than that of a level 50 of the same class?
No
It sure feels that way, I'm comparing DPS/abilities cast and they're deff out performing.
You're synced to specific stat caps for the ilvl it is
Jobs aren't super balanced at low levels
Yeah, I'm comparing it to the same job as me is all.
As long as your gear has hit the stat caps for that ilvl you're the same as everyone else
Aka if your gear is synced basically
Seeing as how I have Poetic gear, I'd assume that I do.
Then yes
Then I odnt understand as we have almost identical casts per spell/actions taken.
and they still out DPS'ed me by 300~ (at level 50)
I mean, 300 is fairly large at level 50. But, I guess if thats it.
Crit rng is great
Welp
So in that case, if they're hitting the Crit Cap on their gear and I'm not
that could be it?
Nope
Just in general.
Just how crit rolled
They probably kept critting big stuff and you didnt
When I do the fashion report (I'm following Meoni vid this week) do I have unequip the rest of the gear not mentioned for the top 100?
No
Yeah thats a big oof.
!fr
Yeah Im looking at the actual damage numbers. Average hit is 1500 vs mine thats like 500~
Thats big oof.
Coming from WoW, yes.
Lol
Its also my first time playing this job, so, was trying to figure out what I might be doing wrong.
it is week 207 now correct?
for the fashion report
As stated
is there a tool where I can look at most traded items on the MB?
Weekly judging of glamour
so to get 80 points I only need to put two particular items on my unit? And I can just glam it right?
Actuaklly looking at their attacks, they didnt crit at all
Fit the theme for extra 50k
So, it has to be some sort of weird scaling issue.
according to this weeks fashion report
That or I'm not hitting that ilvl/stat cap.
Well it's not every slot, just the head, pants, chest and a bracelet
I thought it was like every single slot except weapons lol
So I should've get the 60k mgp by wearing those 4 items
Does that mean I have to dye them too to get to the 60k mgp?
i want to make sure I don't screw anything up before I hadn in my fashion report. So all I have to do is wear a cotton sugarloaf hat, and have a hand piece died slate gray?
You don't want the 60k?
Then it's more that just those 2 items you mentioned lol
mhm
Ok what do you get for actually having everything mentioned for the top prize this week?
so I should be using a 2 hand weapon?
!fr
Read the easy 80 and follow it
alright im just being extra careful as its my first time
You get 4 attempts
And 10k just for entering
Noob blacksmith question, how to get bronze cross-pein hammer in crafting menu? Read that you have to be level 8, I'm level 12 and it's not there? :o
Nvm Im just dumb, found it lol!
Any dyeable body piece
Half the posts I see about RDM say it's brain dead and the rest say it's too complicated lol. Which is it? I kinda want to try it before I get to Stormblood
is there any priority items i should be getting at the gold saucer before mounts
No cause it's all cosmetics
i would save a MGP buffer if you do the fashion report consistently. seen a few MGP cosmetics come up
everything currently in gold saucer will still be there
there might be event occasionally that use mgp tho
whats a MGP buffer?
have some MGP on hand in case u need a cosmetic for fashion report
is there anything in particular i should spend white gatherer scrip on? only have Stormblood stuff unlocked at most, so my options seem a bit limited...plus materia market crashed it seems
can i buy those since i havent started the content yet?
Oh probably not
will VII materia be useful later?
seems like hte easiest way to burn scrips
even bought the HW scrips token for the books just cuz
Grade 5 and 4 more likely since you can’t overmeld with grade 6
VII is 7 tho
does anybody wanna like, teach me the game
So, I'm at the part of ARR right before Praetorium, would it be worth to grind for the augmented ironworks stuff before I attempt it or is the gear from the level 50 class quest fine enough?
do it once without, then grind castrum if u really want the set now
it's a pretty trivial instance
plus dont u have to finish prae to unlock the venodrs?
Kk, I think I have enough to buy the sword and shield or like 1-2 pieces of armor so I'll prolly just cop either
nah I can buy stuff from them rn
also if u do both, u unlock MSQ roulette, which is another 500 once a day
I did castrum once then lvl 50 roulette so now I have 800 tomes so i can at least get sumn
Apparently you don't need to do prae for level 50 roulette
Nah I got that too
But yeah I think I'll hold off on castrum grinding for now
ty for the info
does the guildheist roulette give GC seals
Those long ass cutscenes are killin me
a couple. not really that many
is there any downside for playing MSQ duties on very easy?
No
:D thanks
Maybe a silly question, but for quests that say "Use the Duty Finder to enter <duty>" does using the party finder instead still count?
Yes
How much crysta do i need in the uk for 30 days
is this guy a mount? i hope it is
Nah Kamuys are dogs
yeah kamuys are dogs...
Okay weird
There’s a tiger mount for killing an absolute ton of A and S-rank hunt monsters
Just multiply the cost by 100, that’s the crysta amount
oh? guess ill check this out
3,000 A-ranks and 2,000 S-ranks
oh thats the same thing
bar the red eyes
nice
guess I should join a hunt train or 2 eventually
both pics have red eyes
So um, how do I start the Crystal Tower quests? "Nero tol Scaeva" Isn't in Mor Dhona
Not Nero

I'm an idiot, apparently I have Allag and I need to go do it lol, thank you anyway
@ivory iris target the member, Square and pillion
Must be in party. Cross world parties don't work as well
is pillion a
term for triangle or something
Its the option you select
By default, square should bring up a drop down list of options
Ride pillion is one of them
ok, Ive never ever seen the option, I'll try it
Ride backseat in olde English
Provided the party member's mount is a multi seater
The option doesn't show up on non multi seater mounts
yes, you can't ride other players of course
is there a way to make a macro icon thats another jobs skill not be grayed out?
My girlfriend made a trial account like 8 months ago. She has the game uninstalled but wants to come back to play with me and our friends. Can existing trial accounts play? Or are all trial accounts disabled for now?
thats the client
Thank you!
but i think free trial players cant join queues? might be wrong so it will be tough getting in unless playing during off peak
jan 25th starts up game sales again though
Oh. We played on the Balmung server, and it always has a queue, even early early in the mornings. So we'll have to wait I guess. THank you though!
np
Is there a macro command to confirm/select?
you can make a bind for confirm its under system i believe
Oh? I’d like to make a macro where it can confirm twice
im not sure then, /confirm is a command but doesnt do the same thing as the bind
yeah just found that out
LOL
i dont have the emote so theres no error text, it just does nothing for me but target myself
Found on reddit
Anything that uses the confirm key you can't do in a macro, you have to press it yourself, this is to prevent full automation. This would include changing a soft target to a hard target.
!faq meta
Guys i ran out of eggs.
Sorry let me rephrase. What rotation is easy and less crazy bard or machinist
Bard seems really confusing to me lol, but I've not played any
is there a way to make a macro icon thats another jobs skill not be grayed out?
Nope
I’d say Bard is easier if you have somewhat high ping
But the two play completely different; Bard has you reacting to procs, while Machinist is a set-in-stone rotation
is there any tool that can show what is currently trending on the MB?
or stuff with high trade volumes
How does pentamelded gear compare to ilv590 and 600 gear?
Question regarding warrior's Bloodwhetting and Nascent Flash. I understand that Nascend Flash is good because you can also use it on another member. But I'm just reading both abilities, and it just seems like Nascent flash is just Bloodwhetting, but better?... Is there any reason to use Bloodwhetting over Nascent Flash when they use the same cooldown?
huh? bloodwhetting is superior in almost all situations.
unless you're trying to heal up a party member
Weaker unless the crafted stuff has BiS stats and the i590 has your worst stats
oh wait, I see that bloodwhetting has a 400 potency shield
is that the only advantage bloodwhetting has over nascent flash?
And i600 is generally better by default due to higher main stats
Bloodwhetting and Nascent do the same thing
Bloodwhetting is for yourself
Nascent is for a party member
!action bloodwhetting
Reduces damage taken by 10%.
Duration: 8s
Additional Effect: Restores HP with each weaponskill successfully delivered

Shares a recast timer with Nascent Flash.
it's mitigation.
Any priority gear I should go for general casters from Pandaemonium Normal?
Is there a good place to find crafting macros for any given level/durability?
if I queue as an archer, then do my level 30 quest and become bard, will I be able to enter dungeon as bard ?
Ariyala and Teamcraft helped me out on this. Check Community rotations on it
its a solo instance so no, misread the question mb
whatever isnt 580
yeah I'm talking about leveling roulette
You need to exit the queue and reenter as bard
ok thanks
what wynne said yeah
Is there a way to locate where all your ffxiv files are located? I installed it on 1 ssd then one of my others broke. And now I'm unable to open ffxiv, so something must have been on there?
The error I'm getting for reference
how much better, do you know? Was thinking of getting pentamelded gear for one character so I can put the ilv600 gear on another
That’s something you’d need to math out yourself or ask the balance discord and use their resources
alright, fair enough
Do triggered Fates have the same 15min timer until the trigger guy vanishes if not talked with, or is it less?
did they release any date when the game will be for sale again?

You can unlock the ability to have your chocobo also be an overworld party member and fight alongside you when you reach level 30 and have completed the quest My Feisty Little Chocobo . As the tutorial states, you do need to feed your bird gysahl greens in order to summon them. Click here for a list of npcs that sell them.
What trees do spec into for my chocobo?
The typically recommended chocobo skill point allocation is to get 4 ranks into the healing tree for choco cure, followed by maxing out the DPS tree. The tank tree does not allow your chicken to gain enough enmity to surpass your own output, so its shelved for last. You can eventually max out every tree, though to level your chocobo past rank 10 you will need Thavnairian Onions
what should i do to level my dps while waitin on potd queue
do they think the servers are just going to magically go down? @obsidian patio
They initially paused sales due to overwhelming congestion in server queues
but i feel like this would just generate more hype
wouldnt be a very good impression to buy a game then need to wait hours to get on 😄
How you would feel if you bought a subscription game and potentially had to wait several hours in a queue that occasionally shat itself making you lose your place if you didn’t babysit the queue?
but aren’t we still going to have long queue times regardless?
because more players are going to download the game right? like i’m not saying i’m mad about it i’m just speculating that it’s prob not going to fix the issue
honestly queues on a lot of servers have quieted down lately it seems
i mean, they did have a note saying they will monitor the need to pause sales again
and theyre only allowing new paying customers. cant create a new trial account yet
the 2002 was fixed a while ago
yeah
I'm fine with waiting for an hour to log in
I'm not fine with having to be in front of my PC while that happens
but I mean, I only had a queue of about 300~ today at primetime on a friday night
so I think it's mostly good now
hmmm interesting
yeah aether sarg is like 200 now
I'm also on a larger world, so it's probably even better for other worlds
and it was easily 2k a week or two ago
yeah...if youre not on a big raiding/streamer server, youre probably fine by now
is it a problem that. my main unit is lvl 32 but im on the lvl 20 MSQ ;p
not really
nah, thats kinda normal. if u want to, u could pick up a second class
the only possible issue is if you want to do your job quest at 30
you need to finish a level 20 MSQ first
but that's trivial
can you run delubrum unsynced or with fewer people? how do you queue for it?
if you do roulettes and MSQ consistently, you could probably level even 3 classes at once if u wanted
yeah, it heavily depends how quick you're going through MSQ
When do relics usually come?
slugging through a BLM right now
it's been later every expac.
in ShB it was 5.25 and 5.4
i wouldn't expect them until 6.15 or later, 6.25 is more likely.
PFs are exhausting, so I've only cleared P1S as it is. I'm only asking because I've never tiered up any relics. This is the first xpac I've been leveled to current content.
weapon BiS will be: savage > augmented tome > EX until relic last stage is released, under which it will become marginally better than savage
i just unlocked rogue and to level it do i just do solo potd?
What is the Radiant equivalent in ShB? Basically, if I'm not raiding, am I better off hoarding tomestones of astronomy for later patches?
solo potd will be slower compared to doing it with matchmaking
yeah but i get really long queues
is there something i should do while queuing
did you enable all languages in your DF?
the radiant equivalent for ShB, during 5.4-5.55 was cryptlurker's
and yeah its late in EU rn
I didn't know they would release a new tome. That's super helpful.
is it possible to start potd from duty finder?
the rule is always: max ilevel gear is augmented current tomes + savage gear
max ilevel -10 gear is tomes, and augmented crafted/alliance raid <-- these 2 become available with odd patches
you cant
just make sure you enable all DF langauge if you are in EU
ohhh I get it, sorry
yeah you have to go to quarrymill
I thought you start from floor 1..
Dungeons
if you have people to do it with, sure
squadrons do dungeons at a decent pace imo
Whats considered a spawn point? Is it the aetheryte in the area?
beats waiting in q lol
niice
Thank you. This is super helpful.
spawn point is your home city i think(?)
open world, where do you return to
not your home point but the major city where you started your char
how do i sell stuff on the market? (sorry for the dumb question)
Like when looking to spawn S ranks you need to fly over spawn locations etc
oh lol
retainers
get a retainer
theyre differnet for each
https://faloop.app/ here shows the ones available to spawn and their locations if you click on them
ah ok, good thing i have a bell right beside me. ty!
would i be missing a lot if I just watched a recap on ARR?
I've never watched a recap, so I wouldn't know how detailed they are
it is generally not recommended to skip MSQ if that answers your question
yeah, im just a really slow reader thats all lol
no idea if this helps, but you can install a plugin that will do TTS
if you don't want to read
So the difficulties I know go normal hard extreme but what about all the other ? Like savage unreal or ultimate?
ill just say that i skipped arr and read a recap somewhere and didnt really have any problems with expansions
you have to clear regular raids to do savage
And? You can take however long you need
ultimate you have to clear the most recent savage
Extreme and Unreal are equivalent difficulties. Only difference is Unreal is older content scaled up to current level.
unreal is something that is seasonal, it's basically extreme content at 50 synced to max level
from HW and beyond, are there less filler quests
yes
i would still do it since it helps make you faster at reading. i'm a slow reader too but i've gotten a lot faster by just reading at my own pace throughout the story. but i feel you haha
Not filler
So bahamut unreal is extremely hard ?
there is no bahamut unreal.
theres no eden extreme either
ultimate is considered the hardest yes
Much harder
Oh yeah absolutely, it defeinitely helps a lot. I'm doing it in Japanese so it's extra slow haha
We did a clear of shiva Eden and that was grueling savage
Normal > Extreme/Unreal > Savage > Ultimate, basically.
it's harder than eden shiva just because it's so much longer
DPS checks wise, ultimates are actually really lenient
is coils like the level of an extreme? or savage
then i really feel you. my japanese is the absolut slowest but could be due to not studying it for that long
savage
nice
Yeah I was reading some higher diff raid and that hard enrage is scary
eden shiva when released
was one of the hardest DPS checks
relative to ilevel available
ff14 has some of the hardest texts i've ever read haha
urianger
Idk but someone sent a link to a page that had a 11 movement graph for 1 mechanic
not even grammar wise, it's the magical words lol
a lot of complicated kanji i reckon?
Where everyone had to be or else wipe
yep, essentially
Sounds like wormhole
keep in mind a lot of guides need to have a lot more detail
but when you actually play it, it's not that overwhelming
definitely good practice though
It was really cool made it much easier to understand the mechanic
even though no one talks like this in real life
looking forward to being able to read through japanese news papers but that's a long way to go still haha
The raid leader was awesome he went 1 mechanic at a time and although we wiped a lot it was great
