questions-and-help

[patent citrus]

pretty sure he's talking about lv <90

since it's poetics

[leaden ginkgo]

no i mean lv 90!

[faint flare]

No they're 90

[patent citrus]

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

the new astronomy gear is 590

the normal raid is 580

[patent citrus]

yeah if it's useless, then don't use it

[leaden ginkgo]

astronomy takes longer tho

[patent citrus]

as easy as that

[faint flare]

You only get 450 astro a week

[boreal storm]

Astronomy takes weeks to get

[faint flare]

Pandemonium helps and good for alts

[leaden ginkgo]

So if I dont plan on doing savage raids (at least not yet), there's no other iLvl content block in the game rn, right?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright perfect then, ty!!

[patent citrus]

I think someone already said you can only get the current tome 450 per week

that's your ilvl content block

[keen dagger]

anyone getting black screen during cutscene? A friend of mine getting black screen during cutscene on Ps5

[leaden ginkgo]

Yea for my case its better to just do the poetics cap and get 590 gear over time, since no content (FOR ME!) is going to really need tat 580 gear in a rush

[rapid crane]

do u guys know how to make the idle pose come faster i see ppl stand still and like right away do idle pose but mine takes forever

[half hare]

or ya know craft or buy it

[patent citrus]

it's not poetics

[boreal storm]

/cpose

[patent citrus]

poetics can't be used for lv 90 stuffs

[boreal storm]

Poetics are 80 and below

[rapid crane]

no like when u stand still

[faint flare]

They're all tomestone

[rapid crane]

it like

[faint flare]

It's tomestone of X

[half hare]

allagans weren't great naming things

[raven sage]

it's in the settings somewhere

I think in general? I can't check

[leaden ginkgo]

thats in character settings!

go to Control setting > Character > Idle Animation Delay

in Character Config

[median nebula]

i like the headcanon that the reason we never moved from Poetics as the generic tomestone is because Poetics is the catchall for all pop culture stuff the allagans made, like tv shows and pulp fiction novels etc.

[warm snow]

For all we know they were called something else back then, we just dig up some new allagan tomestone looking things and figure out what we'll call these ones

[rapid crane]

thank ya

[half hare]

think even devs kinda hint and joke about that when your doing the tour with crystal exarch and its like hey poetics and wol is like oh god

[leaden ginkgo]

where do you get the armor from compelting role quests? I forgot

[boreal storm]

You don’t

[half hare]

in the tempest from gerlot with hair

[faint flare]

Grendolt in the tempest

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks :)

[plain warren]

I remember that when ranking up post-ARR Beast tribes to a new rank (such as maxing the bar for rank 3), then doing the quest that pops up, that tribe would refresh which dailies are up, so you can do another set of 3. DId that get removed, or am I just remembering wrong?

[faint flare]

No

You don't get bonus quests for sworn/bloodsworn

[plain warren]

Oh, well that explains it.

[crisp mulch]

Hi I bought final fantasy 14 years ago I was just wondering do I have to buy the previous expansions as I only see endwalker for sale?

[faint flare]

Just endwalker

[crisp mulch]

Ah nice I'll be playing tonight then

[hollow inlet]

So I bought the dancer level boost and got the confirmation email. But it’s not in my in game mail when I logged in now

[boreal storm]

Takes time

[faint flare]

Can take up to 24h

Usually doesn't take thaaaat long in reality

But it takes time

[half hare]

usually takes 30 mins - 1hour on the norm

[faint flare]

Never instant

[hollow inlet]

Really? When I did it for astrologian it was like right away when I logged in. Granted it was during the days of over 2,000 people log in times

[faint flare]

It's never instant

Always takes time

[median nebula]

are confirmation emails themselves from square enix supposed to be instant though...

[hollow inlet]

Huh, okay. Thanks! I’ve never really bought things from the online store before so I don’t have experience

[hollow inlet]

In my experience, yes

[median nebula]

i didnt get mine since i opened a ticket half a day ago

[half hare]

theirs kinda a differnce between a auto message and one thats sent by a real person who has to look at it

[median nebula]

i never even got the auto reply

[hollow inlet]

@faint flare I got it! Thanks for the tip

[sage mist]

Can I join a p4s PF if I haven't beat P3s and P2s?

[heavy wadi]

you can but you would get kicked fast.

[faint flare]

If you want to forfeit loot for skipped floors

[tight spoke]

what has higher exp per minute? fieldcraft leves or infinite collectible nodes

[median nebula]

grand company turnins

[sage mist]

Forfeit loot for skipped floors?

[faint flare]

Yes

[sage mist]

If you beat p4 you cant get loot for lower floors?

[faint flare]

You immediately forfeit ALL loot rights for floors you skip

The moment you enter

[sage mist]

Deezam thats ruthless

[pure copper]

if i wanna get the 4th favored TP slot by companion app, is there a frequency in which i have to use the app to maintain it?

[faint flare]

There's a giant warning on the duty finder when you try to skip

[boreal storm]

Nope

[pure copper]

so i could just sign up, use the 4th slot, and never touch the app? lol

[sage mist]

I was just trying to practice something my static isn't working on 😦

[keen dagger]

anyone getting black screen during cutscene? A friend of mine getting black screen during cutscene on Ps5

[faint flare]

Considering no one answered you the past 5 times you asked. No

[faint flare]

You would fuck over your static

Cause you'll be marked as cleared

Thus reducing chests for them

[keen dagger]

well how i fix it?

[sage mist]

Big sad.

[keen dagger]

what i tryna say how to fix the black screen on during cutscene

[sage mist]

Are they not able to watch any cutscenes? are you sure they don't have auto cutscene skip on

[tight spoke]

auto skip only works on already watched

[warm snow]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[keen dagger]

they dont have it it on, and they can't watch it just go black screen for them

[sage mist]

uninstall and reinstall maybe

[keen dagger]

he's done that already

[boreal storm]

Is it a specific cutscene or any of them

[fast talon]

we dont know, but a workaround would be watching the cutscene on youtube, or possibly playing in a different resolution?

[keen dagger]

endwalker

[fast talon]

First thing I would check is the ps5 graphics options

[keen dagger]

alrighty i'll contact him about that

[fathom glacier]

whats the bank of this game?

what are they call

[half hare]

retainer

[fathom glacier]

how much can they store

[half hare]

think its 175 items

[boreal storm]

You can’t use em on trial

[fathom glacier]

i know, but its good to know

[half hare]

also theirs chocobo saddle bag which is 70 items

[fathom glacier]

wait i have to pay irl money per month just to have another retainer

[twilit arch]

you get 2 free

past that, yes you'd have to pay

[fathom glacier]

[twilit arch]

but you honestly don't need more than 2

don't hoard shit you don't need

[boreal storm]

They’re 2 bucks a month

[fathom glacier]

true, but still,

[half hare]

looks to my hoarding stash since arr up to shb because it might be used in crafting oof

[fathom glacier]

is it 175 per or in total

[half hare]

per

[fathom glacier]

epic, 350 space

plus 140 for the bird

[boreal storm]

The premium app costs money too

[fathom glacier]

what are the app use for tho
and price

[humble epoch]

Where do i want to farm fates to level from 80-90 ?

[half hare]

pretty much the order of the zones you can choose between lab/thavnir for 80-83 i personally prefer lab since its near sharlyan and you can "cheat" a high fate using a gathering then swapping to lvling job to get exp garlamald ,moon ,again its a choice between moon or part 2 thav then 5th zone then final

[obsidian patio]

Thavnair/Labyrinthos for 80-82
Garlemald for 82-84
Moon for 83-85
Other half of Thavnair for 85-87
5th spoiler zone for 86-88
Other half of Labyrinthos for 87-89
6th spoiler zone for 88-90

[half hare]

thing with the 2nd half parts its much like shb 2 starting zones , you have a mix of the low lvl ones along with high lvl

[tawdry citrus]

so is zadnor best to level? or fates in new areas

[warm snow]

For 71-80 Zadnor is probably best

Depends on dungeon queues

And a half dozen other factors

[gaunt fable]

i bought the 500 scrip gear for mining and gsm. What's the next gear a normal person would purchase?

[thorn thicket]

Has a new “coffee biscuit” leve been figured out yet? As in the one with the most gil yield for the least amount of work/processing.

[ripe hound]

Endwalker Lv 82 spoilers
||https://youtu.be/7iVmzwg3HDg?t=9197||
Does anyone know what this BGM playing is?
Sounds like a melow version of Flow?

[faint flare]

Carrot nibbles but it's much less gil so they don't cause inflation again

[thorn thicket]

Obviously won’t be as good as before though

[thorn thicket]

Really?

[ripe hound]

Often played in MSQ when the flower glows

[boreal storm]

It da trailer music

[thorn thicket]

Figured it’d be an 89 or 90 recipe

[faint flare]

Yes

[ripe hound]

Yeah, but yet another different version

Is this Band version?

[wheat plume]

If all raid is with HP at 50% and I (AST) use Celestial Opposition, when the regen finishes after 15 secs, will everyone be healed at full? (and without healing from the other healer, and without buff)

[cosmic pilot]

What's the difference between Weaver and Armorer?

[ripe hound]

Nah Band is another version...

[faint flare]

Stuff they make and for who they make it for

[cosmic pilot]

For SAM, it's armorer?

[faint flare]

No

Not always

It changes occasionally

[cosmic pilot]

Blacksmith for weapons, right?

[half hare]

its all over the place sometimes like weaver isnt just for casters

[faint flare]

Not all weapons

[cosmic pilot]

Oh wow

[boreal storm]

Everyone gets different stuff from different crafters

[half hare]

a good majority of weapons , while alchemy does books globes etc

[faint flare]

Carpetenr does lances and bows occasionally

It's spread out

No one answer

[patent citrus]

yeh, that's why people here always encourages to level them all at the same time, lol

like you'll be wasting your armoury chest as well if you have them at different level

[half hare]

i leveled pretty much doing beast tribes every day , i was 90 LW full hq crafter gear still on lvl 35 quest

[hazy iron]

What does magicked prism do?

[faint flare]

Fancy effect

Visual only

[warped nest]

Digital fireworks

[fallow saffron]

Speaking of armory chest, we're clear to get rid of pretty much any gear that isn't pink or green right?

[boreal storm]

No

That’s not

[faint flare]

Colour means nothing

[warped nest]

The color of the gears means relative rarity

[fallow saffron]

Oh that doesn't mean unique or legendary? Well shit.

[boreal storm]

Especially not Pink gear

[narrow jay]

This is more of an #endgame-lounge question, tbh. It also needs a lot more information even to examine in a vacuum, since the strength of the heal is based on the caster's stats, and the amount healed is dependent on each other player's total HP.

[fallow saffron]

Lol, my bad

[faint flare]

Colour is mainly just where it's from

Rarity isn't a thing

[half hare]

try not to hoard with gear or your end up with a sad looking bag

[faint flare]

Pink is gear with random stats

[warped nest]

Put it simply, stat stuff in XIV is very very very simplified

[boreal storm]

They stop existing past ARR

[warped nest]

Better item level, better stat

[regal pawn]

past hw*

[boreal storm]

Huh

[warm snow]

Technically some shit like this continues in sb

[regal pawn]

cough relic cough

[lyric warren]

how many sword token is the max incl. this weeks rewards? wanna know if i forgot to do it last reset haha

[half hare]

least they killed off combing chest and helm armor that sucked

[warped nest]

It was introduced in HW diadem as an alternative mean to do catch up

But it doesn't work out well

[half hare]

think this is 5th week of pande being out

[narrow jay]

Five.

[regal pawn]

5

[lyric warren]

thanks

[warped nest]

Wow, time flies

Wait, nvm, savage was out 2 weeks+ ago

Normal was 2 weeks before savage

Forgot about the gap for first raid tier

[regal pawn]

ye, we're on 3rd week of savage

[warped nest]

I was like "wow, I can swear that I saw P4S world first like 2 weeks ago, can't believe that it has already been a month"

[half hare]

How long was the massive ques for , before it started being near normal again

[rich heron]

How do I fix this?

[patent citrus]

click the +

[patent citrus]

press down dpad multiple time

yeah

[rich heron]

Allocate won't work

[faint flare]

Remember the shield as well

[rich heron]

It's doesn't highlight

[faint flare]

You're a pld

[patent citrus]

the shield

[faint flare]

Do on the shield as well

[patent citrus]

see the sword logo

[warped nest]

Allocate points for shield too

South West of the treat sand button

[rich heron]

I've tried splitting it and still won't highlight to be able to click it

[rich heron]

I had the weapon partially filled before ew dropped and the stat squish seems to affected it as it refunded the crystal sand I spent but it doesn't show up in my inventory only on this menu

[humble epoch]

What do i need to do to be able to turn in my bicolor gemstones?

[patent citrus]

yeah you need to reallocate if you haven't finished it before EW

[regal pawn]

Talk to the lady in Idyllshire

with it equipped

[rich heron]

That's who I'm at

It won't let me

[regal pawn]

[half hare]

Do fates in shb / ew zones to unlock more wares in the shops it’s in shared fates

[boreal storm]

Talk to the gem vendors

[humble epoch]

i can't even buy anything from the shop in radz at han

[faint flare]

Cause that needs all zones rank 3

[boreal storm]

396 fates in total

[faint flare]

Go to each individual zone and talk to the traders there

To buy stuff from them

Radz vendor is a one stop shop with some extras

[humble epoch]

where is the vendor in labyrinthos

[half hare]

Near the aether right crystal

[boreal storm]

Like the first aetheryte in the zone

[half hare]

You should see the bicolour gem icon on your map or do you need to speak to them first for it to appear

[wheat plume]

is animation lock 0.7 secs for everything? absolute every action?

[twilit arch]

no, dragoon jumps are longer

[humble epoch]

what do i want to spend the bicolor gems on?

[wheat plume]

anything from AST is longer or shorter?

[twilit arch]

afaik no

i might be wrong, but dragoon is pretty much the only one with noteably longer animations on their jumps

as you can't double weave those

[honest anvil]

double weave draw and play might do sth weird

[faint flare]

Longer locks are mainly on mobility stuff

[warm snow]

Nin had a big animation lock

And there's still ten chi jin

[rose heart]

Just finished 5.0, doing side content for a break before diving into 5.X patch quests. Where should I go to spend my tomestones?

[half hare]

You’d think nin be faster

[twilit arch]

Eulmore or crystarium

[wheat plume]

for AST, for weaving play and draw , i have the animation lock from the cd, then from play and from draw, so 2.1 secs to weave there, right?

[half hare]

Should be a viera near the aetheright selling the dark souls gear

[rose heart]

I found the guy in Eulmore, but he only seems to be selling weapons. Let me look for the vista

[pure copper]

how do yall manage log chat colors? i need some ideas for managing LS/NN

[rose heart]

*viera

[twilit arch]

eulmore has both

you were at the wrong npc if all you saw was weapons

[boreal storm]

Talk to the person beside them

[leaden ginkgo]

how come when i enable headgear and then i switch jobs, it becomes disabled again?

[boreal storm]

Gear set

[leaden ginkgo]

and then when i switch back to the first job it stays disabled

[half hare]

Did you update?

[twilit arch]

aymark is the one who sells the armour, fathard has the weapons

[rose heart]

Ah, got it. Thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

u have to update to have it always enabled?

[boreal storm]

Yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

oh wtf

thanks lmao, i never knew

[half hare]

Some ppl like their glams with helm others without

[boreal storm]

I mean the update button lights up if something changes

[honest anvil]

not sure bout exact seconds but that’s sth to somewhat “avoid” .. as said by Balance itself. Lots of factors affecting that tech .. animation lock, internet, skill, sth else too probably

[half hare]

Kinda annoying it lights up for update after materia extract

[gaunt fable]

is there a reason why i can't throw all these spells at the same time despite not having global CD?

[rich heron]

Apparently this is a common bug, fixed when I made more crystal sand

Weird though

[warm snow]

Ogcds have around a 0.7s animation lock because being able to do that in the first place is unbalanced

[pure copper]

u mean why u dont want to?

[tawdry citrus]

w/o zadnor unlocked, whats optimal for 80-90 leveling?

[warm snow]

And in the case of defensive cooldowns wasteful

[gaunt fable]

right, this is what i was looking for because i'm trying to initiate with like 5 of them and most get ghosted

[wheat plume]

well, it's in the opener from Balance, so I can't avoid it lol. btw, what's the meaning of "sth"? (not english speaker here)

[warm snow]

Zadnor sucks for 80-90.msq and fates

[pure copper]

it means "something" usually

[warm snow]

!faq weavinv

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named weavinv exists, Kupo!

[warm snow]

Fck

[tawdry citrus]

ah okay, leveling alt jobs rn so guess its fates, ty ❤️

[pure copper]

nice

[warm snow]

!faq weaving

[zinc orbit]

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

[warm snow]

@gaunt fable 2 ogcds at most

[pure copper]

also they buffed 80-90 dungeon xp like mad, so thats viable while u grind fates or w.e

[gaunt fable]

(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

[warm snow]

And depending on the job, only 1 ogcd

Rdm and rpr bursts have 1.5s gcds so single weaving only during those

[tawdry citrus]

oh did they really? good to know thank you (:

[honest anvil]

balance has a non or few double weave draw + play openers too

[gaunt fable]

i'm aware it's wasteful to use all at the same time but i wouldn't mind using all these at the same time when pulling :(

[honest anvil]

draw + play in 1 weave window is best but it’s risky. it’s definitely Possible to do do but don’t force yourself

[humble epoch]

To be able to buy Bicolor Gemstone Voucher, do i need to do aftes for rank 3 in all endwalker zones?

[narrow jay]

Counter question: why are you trying to throw all of your defensive cooldowns, including your invuln, at the exact same time?

[gaunt fable]

sorry just the ones i marked with a red circle

[warm snow]

Yes

Well you can also buy on mb

If you fancy blowing 50 million gil

[white tapir]

If I discard the class 80 armor how hard is it to get it again if needed?

[limber hound]

Get it back from Grenoldt in the Tempest

unless you mean the memoria EX one

[warm snow]

It's free from the original source

Not counting the memoria shit

[narrow jay]

...all right, so amended counter question, why are you trying to stack HoC with Rampart.

Anyway, because of each skill's animation and the way the server reads things, it's best to think of having a two-skill window between each GCD in which to place oGCDs. That doesn't mean you can always get two skills in, though. Some skills, like the Dragoon's Stardiver, have a very long animation lock and should never be paired with any other skill in your weave. And if you start your first weave too late, trying to hit a second weave will force you to drift the start of your next GCD skill later, which will slow your damage output.

[white tapir]

I dont think I mean that? That like the dyable ones?

[raven sage]

you have to do ex again

[boreal storm]

That’s mem EX

[limber hound]

Memoria EX

again

[warm snow]

The ones you get in tempest is undyable and can be reacquired freely. However the dyable versions come from an extreme and for those you'll need to refight the extreme

[glad hound]

aside from fishing, is the best way to get white gather scrips from doing the unspoiled nodes?

[boreal storm]

Custom deliveries

[glad hound]

damn i used 6 on crafters already

[boreal storm]

You have 12 per week

[glad hound]

yeah

[steel bone]

Can someone point me in the direction of where people may be discussing the incoming OCE DC?

[warm snow]

#general-discussion

If anywhere, afaik we don't have a dedicated channel

A suggestion for #discord-modmail perhaps, idk

Maybe some of the English speaking discords for jp servers, idk you'd need to check #resources for that

[steel bone]

Thanks ! I will have a look. Big thing moving DC after being on Behemoth since launch.

[warm snow]

It will be a free move

I can tell you that much.

[steel bone]

yeah I bought extra retainers to make the move but now wondering which server everyone is going to. Thanks for the help!

[wraith vapor]

Speaking of, do mitigations stack additively or multiplicatively?

[warm snow]

Multiplicative

It's always multiplicative

[wraith vapor]

👍

[warm snow]

Your buffs are multiplicative too

[pulsar hawk]

Is it possible to unlock flying without aether currents?

[twilit arch]

no

[narrow jay]

Only in ARR, which requires you to complete the main campaign first to automatically gain it in every zone.

[boreal storm]

Because there are no currents in ARR

[lone totem]

(also because ARR had flying patched in way later, and they didn't want to bother with adding currents)

[pulsar hawk]

Sorry i am new what is ARR, google doesnt give good answers lol

[lone totem]

A Realm Reborn

(version 2.0)

[pulsar hawk]

Ah thanks, what about getting a faster mount? can i unlock that without flying in that zone/map?

[boreal storm]

All mounts have the same speed basically

[twilit arch]

mounts all move at the same movement speed. SDS fenrir being a slight exception in that it comes with the first tier of movement speed automatically

but this become moot once you have earned that

[lone totem]

FFXIV is split into its expansions for names

(1.0) FFXIV (Base game, sometimes called Before Meteor)
(2.0) A Realm Reborn (ARR)
(3.0) Heavensward (HW)
(4.0) Stormblood (SB)"
(5.0) Shadowbringers (ShB)
(6.0) Endwalker (EW), where we are now

[pulsar hawk]

Sweet!

[twilit arch]

wouldnt really call 1.0 the base game

[twilit arch]

seeing as it doesn't exist anymore

[lone totem]

... fair enough

1.0 to 2.0 was quite the leap

[pulsar hawk]

so i read something about maps that unlocks speed, whats the exact name of that ?

[twilit arch]

Riding maps unlock the 2nd tier for ARR-SB zones, first tier for Shb and EW zones. they're bought with hunt currency (allied for ARR, centurio for hw/sb) and bicolour gems (currency from fates in shb/ew zones)

ultimately not worth for the ARR-Sb zones

[boreal storm]

Worthless when you have flight

[twilit arch]

as they dont affect flying

[pulsar hawk]

so i was hoping to move faster before unlocking flying in each zone since looks like i can only unlock flying AFTER i finish the MSQ of that area (which is dumb imo)

is it worth then?

[twilit arch]

first tier for ARR-Sb is given via msq

so no, not really for those zones seeing as you'll probably get flying by the time you have enough seals to buy the riding maps

for Shb/Ew zones its a little more debateable if you want to do a few fates to buy th emaps

but i personally don't think its worth

[patent citrus]

yeh, just do MSQ, take any blue quest you see, spam that aether compass

if it's <300 yalm, get the aether current, once you done with the area, you can fly

[boreal storm]

Fair warning you return to areas sometimes

So you can’t get everything on one trip

[pulsar hawk]

yeah i see.. so theres no way around that

Alright thanks guys 🙇‍♂️

very useful

[tropic flame]

why would you be

[warm snow]

Fucking christ dude

[tropic flame]

um

[warm snow]

You'll probably get a free forced name change

But... Fucking don't in the first place

How bout that?

[heavy wadi]

[spice kraken]

do you know of any german names that sounds similar?

[warm snow]

Why the fuck are you trying to get away with this!?

[spice kraken]

i just think its a cool name, chill

[boreal storm]

Just don’t

[warm snow]

... Pick something else

I refuse to enable this

[tropic flame]

literally any other german name

[boreal storm]

Somebody will look that up if you use it, and the GMs will get alerted 100%

[spice kraken]

shit, time to hit a random name generator

[heavy wadi]

I feel like "don't use the name of a concentration camp as your surname" should be common sense.

[narrow jay]

If you know the history of the name, and are explicitly asking about whether or not its use would get your wrist slapped, and in fact have ready material to show people who don't know about it why it's bad, then you obviously already know the answer mate.

[warm snow]

If you try and skirt a forced name change which is what they will give you at best, you will be banned

[spice kraken]

i didnt know it was a camp until i googled it

[warm snow]

I need a fucking drink christ

[spice kraken]

i was trying to come up with something for Krieg ____ and that one came to mind

[tropic flame]

[warm snow]

It's like Frank's f flag in its always sunny my god

[narrow jay]

Time to google German surnames indeed.

[clear lantern]

[spice kraken]

is ü allowed for naming?

[warm snow]

No

Afaik

[narrow jay]

Just use the anglicanised dipthong form

[dense pier]

What's the best dungeon to unsync farm GC seals from?

[boreal storm]

Like lvl 60 stuff

[narrow jay]

I'd say Antitower if you're looking for gear drops per unit time.

[dense pier]

It's a 60 though, wouldn't that only be accessories?

[twilit arch]

no

[spice kraken]

whats that

[dense pier]

K lets see

[boreal storm]

Patch msq dungeons give all kinds of gear

[twilit arch]

the only dungeons that are accessories only are the first 3 80 dungeons of shadowbringers and 89/3 90 endwalker dungeons

[warm snow]

And 89 endwalker

And the other 2 90 Endwalker dungeons

[narrow jay]

German vowels with umlauts are often approximated by adding an e to form a dipthong; ö becomes oe for example

[narrow jay]

Regardless, the gear type doesn't really matter, since they're all being converted to seals and gear of the same level is worth roughly the same amount of seals.

[spice kraken]

so ü would become ue?

[twilit arch]

yes

[spice kraken]

ah i see, Jäger > Jaeger

[warm snow]

Ye

[spice kraken]

thanks

[wispy mesa]

My friend’s having trouble getting ffxiv started up and I was wondering if anyone had a solution to his problem

This is what he sees when he starts up the game, he has a ps5 and he allegedly downloaded the ps5 version

[warm snow]

They don't have an account

And new accounts can't be created at present

[wispy mesa]

How recent has that started and why?

[warm snow]

Like a month ago

And cuz the games too popular

[wispy mesa]

Because I made a new SE account the other day and started ffxiv 2 days ago

So did I get lucky

[warm snow]

That's not possible

Unless you had a previous ff14 account

[wispy mesa]

I literally made a new account with a new email, idk what to tell you

I did have some trouble though I will say

It took me 6 tries

I had to be very patient

[warm snow]

No new free trials, no base game sales either

Where did you even get a product key

[wispy mesa]

What I did was in the game I made a new account

I play on the ps5 btw

However it took me a while to actually pull it off

[warm snow]

That shouldn't be possibke

[wispy mesa]

I didn’t know that they stopped allowing new accounts either

I swear I started two days ago

[warm snow]

By extension of the sales and free trial lock you shouldn't be able to

[wispy mesa]

I downloaded the free ps5 upgrade edition

[tepid stag]

does krasis affect kardia healing

[warm snow]

That's an upgrade to an existing ps4 account

!action krasis

[zinc orbit]

**Krasis** : lvl 86 SGE (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases HP recovery via healing actions for a party member or self by 20%.
Duration: 10s

Powered by XIVAPI

[boreal storm]

Yeah no, there’s no way you made a fresh account

[warm snow]

Should technically

[obsidian patio]

Yeah it boosts Kardia

[wispy mesa]

So here’s what happened

I’ll explain everything thoroughly if you’re curious

And let me clarify I had no clue that they didn’t allow new accounts, that’s so weird

So at first I was having trouble getting the verification code for my emails, but after about 2 hours of trying it worked

[warm snow]

Your psn and mogstation accounts are linked

[empty hamlet]

is there an obtainable armor/armor set that looks like this atm? EW spoilers

[warm snow]

Pretty sure that's pvp gear

[wispy mesa]

I didn’t download the ps5 upgrade edition actually, I went to select version and there was a free ffxiv available for download

However endwalker is still a paid add on

So did I just get lucky?

[boreal storm]

And you can’t make a trial account

[cosmic mica]

any news on when game will open for new players?

[obsidian patio]

Late Allagan PVP set for fending/maiming

[boreal storm]

Read the pins

[warm snow]

Sales resume on Jan 25th free trial remains locked

[cosmic mica]

ty

ah i see

[warm snow]

Sounds like you had a pre existing se account tied to your psn

[empty hamlet]

🙏 thank you

[wispy mesa]

How though

I’m new to PlayStation too, I had an Xbox prior to getting the ps5

[warm snow]

Any time in the past you may have tried the free trial or otherwise

[patent citrus]

not sure, you can't make a new account yet. It is what it is

[wispy mesa]

But I didn’t use the same email

[warm snow]

I can't presume to understand your accoint

Have you checked its details on mogstation?

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[spice kraken]

is there a gunblade that looks like gaius'?

[warm snow]

No

[patent citrus]

if you want to make a new account, just wait till it's allowed

[wispy mesa]

Well the point is that my friend can’t load up the game, so you’re saying once the 25th comes he’ll be good to go?

[warm snow]

No

When the 25th comes he can buy the game

Can't make a free trial

Otherwise up to him

[elder sphinx]

Hello everyone. I am newish, returning player, haven't touched this game since Heavensward launched, what's good for a noob to start off with? I have the 30% earring and got a Tank class up to Lv30+chocobo mount and loving it so far

[patent citrus]

any class are good for new players

just choose the coolest one

[elder sphinx]

As a Tank, Iron Will is my "tank stance" correct?

[warm snow]

Play what you want

[steep egret]

classes are very much personal preference

[spice kraken]

yes

[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.

[patent citrus]

yeah, just make sure you turn it on all the time in group instance

[steep egret]

if the tooltip says, increases enmity, then yes

[boreal storm]

For paladin yeah

[patent citrus]

then just spam aoe and make sure all the mobs hit you instead of your teammate

[steep egret]

each tank has a different one

[elder sphinx]

People in dungeons are telling me to pop it, but even when I do some enemies just run past me, so I feel I am doing it wrong?

[warm snow]

@elder sphinx if you feel lost for job info or want role advice I cannot recommend weskalber on YouTube enough

[steep egret]

you have to hit the enemies

[patent citrus]

spam aoe

area of effect

[warm snow]

https://youtu.be/P8oVV_I-tIA

[steep egret]

^watch

[elder sphinx]

No yeah I run in with the aoe blade move and then iron will + provoke, only seems to work some of the time

[elder sphinx]

Ah perfect ty ty!

[warm snow]

No

[steep egret]

its a crap guide, only in name and memes , but is actually good

[patent citrus]

provoke is only for single target ranged

[warm snow]

Stance on first and never turn it off in a dungeon @elder sphinx

[patent citrus]

so you just use provoke when you don't want to move, but pick up mobs that run away from you

[elder sphinx]

Weird, a guide told me to keep firing it before each battle, maybe this is the issue? I figured it had a cool down or something inbetween battles

[steep egret]

provoke is fairly pointless, as a single attack will get you 10x enmity on an enemy, with your tank stance on
you only need provoke for tank swapping really

[warm snow]

You almost definitely misunderstood

[narrow jay]

Some enemies may try to run past you to the healer before you physically hit them because healing generates a stronger aggro than you do by running into their aggro zone. However, once you hit them, the aggro multiplier from your stance will be enough to take over, and they'll divert back to you.

tl'dr just spam AoE

[spice kraken]

but provoke is an ogcd which is a bonus imo

[warm snow]

While tank stance is active any aggro you generate is massively multiplied

[steep egret]

leave tank stance on, always
tank stance, means all attacks, generate 10x aggro/enmity on any enemy you hit

[warm snow]

Hit enemies to generate aggro

Keep hitting them to keep it

[elder sphinx]

Ohhh so it's literally a set it and forget it move OK

[warm snow]

Unless something ridiculous happens you shouldny lose aggro to dps or healers

[steep egret]

yup, just make sure its on at the start of a dungeon, and forget about it

[warm snow]

Unless you're doing high end content yes

[steep egret]

i put my tank stance on a key thats hard to reach, because i never have to easily turn it off

[patent citrus]

if you are sync'd to a lower level dungeon, it will turn off by itself

[elder sphinx]

Thanks, hallelujah that means I can free up that hotbar for something I will use more often ... like Potions

[patent citrus]

so make sure you check your buff and see if it's on

no no, you put it on your hotbar all the time

[steep egret]

yeah, start of dungeon, ALways make sure its on

[elder sphinx]

Ahh yeah I went into the first 2 big dungeons higher level because of the 30% earring, OK now it starts to make sense lol

[steep egret]

also basic rule, have everything on ur hotbars, all abilities

there aren't many which are useless, just less useful

[hidden cypress]

what? i been using them from the P menu

is that not okay

[elder sphinx]

I have 2 cross hotbars with all important skills and some items/foods too

[narrow jay]

While Provoke does generate a modest amount of aggro, its primary purpose is to place your character at the top of the target enemy's aggro table. If the enemy has no table, you can't be at the top of it; and since you can only use it against one target, in trash pulls it's mainly useful for quickly grabbing a single target and won't serve you very well in a pull of any appreciable size.

[warm snow]

It's inefficient and in some cases in high end content you want to turn your stance off

[hidden cypress]

stance?

[warm snow]

Tank stance

[hidden cypress]

im talking about playing astro

[warm snow]

Iron will, Royal guard etc

[boreal storm]

That’s also bad

[elder sphinx]

So Provoke is more like for when Iron Will or nothing else works for enmity generation and you need it fast

[steep egret]

are you seriously casting abilities from the menu?

[boreal storm]

Have things on your hot bar

[hidden cypress]

no lmao

[warm snow]

Aside from undraw you want all your astro skills

[steep egret]

lol

thought it was a troll

[elder sphinx]

said about a Final Fantasy game though lol

[hidden cypress]

i forgot this game even has undraw

[wispy mesa]

I appreciate the help, he didn’t like the news I gave him

Also

Can someone tell me when the game starts to pick up?

[warm snow]

Well that's the unfortunate situation prioritising the esperience for the players that got them this far

[wispy mesa]

Because I’m not gonna lie, the first part of the game is extremely boring

[hidden cypress]

where are you now in the game

[steep egret]

provoke doens't generate a lot of enmity by itself
its will take whoever has the highest against that single enemy you have targeted, then give you that enmity, plus a bit more
hence why its only really useful in high-end content, where you have 2 tanks, and need to swap aggro/enmity between tanks for some mechanics

[patent citrus]

yeh, it's not for everyone. If you don't like it, don't play it

[boreal storm]

We really can’t tell because that’s kinda a you decision

[elder sphinx]

I have fallen asleep 3 times during ARR msq, which is a reminder of why I never even made it to Heavensward content all those years ago lol

[warm snow]

Story I'd say picks up around level 20 msq has some peaks and valleys from there on, gets really good for a bit, some more peaks and valleys then really solid at the end of ARR into the first expansion

From there on it never dips into the lows of arr

[wispy mesa]

Ok good

[steep egret]

it really depends on the person, some ppl like Mid-ARR story, others dont
some ppl say that Heavensward is where it picks up, others really like the post-ARR story
just dont burn yourself out

[wispy mesa]

I’m assuming arr is a realm reborn?

[warm snow]

Arr I find is best when you get distracted by all the other cool shit: job quests, the gold saucer, crafting, fishing etc.

[warm snow]

Yes

[patent citrus]

yeh it's short of a realm reborn

[steep egret]

A Realm Reborn, yes

we have abbreviations for each expansion

[hidden cypress]

hw:heavensward, sb: stormblood, shb: shadowbringers, ew: endwalker

[steep egret]

HW= Heavensward
SB = Stormblood
SHB = Shadowbringers

[elder sphinx]

Technically its A Realm Remastered but ye

[boreal storm]

No

[steep egret]

lul

no

[heavy wadi]

no, it's a realm reborn.

[wispy mesa]

Ok so since I somehow got the free version, how far up will I be able to play?

[boreal storm]

HW

[steep egret]

end of Heavensward

right up to the start of stormblood essentially

[warm snow]

No

[warm snow]

Start of the second expansion

[wispy mesa]

That’s good, by that time I’ll know whether or not I’m willing to spend money on the game

[boreal storm]

You’re not locked out of seasonal events either so enjoy a belated Halloween in 2 days

[warm snow]

It's a bit of a trek but no need to rush, our producer/director hates fomo

[patent citrus]

yeh, take your time. Take it easy

no rush

[warm snow]

Fear Of Missing Out

Time limited mechanics etc.

[wispy mesa]

I mean I’m coming from swtor so I’m not really new to mmo’s

[patent citrus]

cause as you said, your friend hasn't been able to play

[warm snow]

Don't expect this to play like most mmos

[patent citrus]

still different game, different mechs

[warm snow]

It's a final fantasy game first, mmo second

Their outright design philosophy

[wispy mesa]

Oh i know, I’m not saying I won’t need help on stuff, I’m just saying I’m accustomed to the genre

[steep egret]

yeah, expect a lot of story

[warm snow]

I'll leave this just in case

!faq msqtracker

[zinc orbit]

MSQ Tracker image guide

1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/4dgmnpH.jpg

[patent citrus]

yeah, but don't be afraid to ask for help

[warm snow]

Cuz the quest at 2 is even more important than the msq

[patent citrus]

there's no stupid question, can ask here

[wispy mesa]

Alright well I have a ton of questions

[steep egret]

yes, always do class quests, wouldn't be the first time ive seen someone at level 35, who hasn't done a class/job quest since level 10 :/

[warm snow]

If you want job guides or have tons of general questions I'd recommend weskalber on YouTube does amazing content for new players

[boreal storm]

No stupid questions, just stupid people answers

[steep egret]

ahahah, you beat me to it

one person comes to mind

[hidden cypress]

i always let my class quests pile up until they give me a skill 🙂

[wispy mesa]

I’m assuming you play on pc?

[steep egret]

starts with a H

[warm snow]

With controller

Like a proper heathen

[limber hound]

FF14 has proper controller support

You can play PC but use controller

[wispy mesa]

Well the only add on available in the ps store is endwalker, so I’m assuming that if I buy that I’d get the other expansions along with it?

[steep egret]

you must buy the base game

so no

[warm snow]

Well yes but actually no

[hidden cypress]

just get complete edition 😄

[warm snow]

You'll need the base game first

[hidden cypress]

on 25th jan

[patent citrus]

yeh, ew is a dlc that includes sb, shb and ew

[warm snow]

Cuz you're probably somehow on the free trial

[steep egret]

Endwalker only comes wiht, Stormblood and Shadowbringers

[patent citrus]

but since you don't have the base game, just get the complete edition, it includes base + all the dlc

[warm snow]

But yes the latest expansion does include all previous expansions when purchased

[steep egret]

when the game comes back on sale, properly, buy the complete edition, comes wiht all of the game

[wispy mesa]

So why would I buy the complete edition on the 25th?

[patent citrus]

cause you don't have the base game

[wispy mesa]

I’m already somehow playing the base game for free though right?

[steep egret]

endwalker is still being sold, to let returning players buy the latest expansion

[warm snow]

No free trial restrictions and Endwalker on its own is dlc for a game you don't actually own

[boreal storm]

You can’t use DLC for a game you don’t own

[patent citrus]

base game is free trial, but no gil and social restriction

[wispy mesa]

Ohhhhhhhh, I see

[patent citrus]

the "standard edition" which currently unavailable to purchase

[steep egret]

free trial doesn't mean you own it, you are restricted on social and other stuff, but essentially you can play all ARR/HW content

[wispy mesa]

So buying the complete edition would essentially render me as a member in a way

[patent citrus]

yeh

[warm snow]

Not in a way

[wispy mesa]

Ok

[steep egret]

its the same purchasing scheme as WoW

[warm snow]

You're an outright full account if you buy the base game

[patent citrus]

it gives you base game + ew dlc

[steep egret]

you buy the game/expansions, then you pay a subscription fee

[warm snow]

This also means you can't go back to free trial

It's a trial, not free to play

[wispy mesa]

What about the other dlc’s?

[patent citrus]

it's included in the ew

[steep egret]

yes, moving from free trial to a full account, is a ONE WAY process, you cannot go back

[patent citrus]

sb, shb, ew

[warm snow]

Endwalker comes with them, we told you earlier

[wispy mesa]

Yeah i forgot, my bad

[steep egret]

complete edition, as its name implies, gives you everything

not future stuff of course

youll still need to buy new expansions when they come out

[wispy mesa]

Of course

[warm snow]

Now you can keep playing on the free trial after the 25th,its technically unlimited. However if the rush of players when sales resume is too much they might stop sales again

Probably won't

But we're in uncharted territory atm

[steep egret]

just making sure thats clear, ive seen people think it will include all future expansions, strangely enough (does no one actually read the product description of stuff they buy online?)

[wispy mesa]

So idk if I digested that wrong, but after the 25th of all goes well my friend will be able to play the free trial?

[hidden cypress]

free trials cant be in q right?

[warm snow]

No

Free trial is staying locked away

[steep egret]

they havent said that free trials will be allowed after the 25th

"new free trials" sorry

current can still play

[warm snow]

Friend will have to buy the game or wait for free trial to reopen

Which is a complete unknown

[boreal storm]

(Taps the pin button)
Hey look info

[signal acorn]

possible bug problem. im level 90 and the susasnoo extreme quest from minstrel isnt showing up. it DID show up when i talked to him, and i unlocked lakshmi first, but then his quest marker went away and he doesnt have it now

[heavy wadi]

you probably picked it up

[warm snow]

Pretty sure susanoo ex is before lakshmi so probably already had it

[boreal storm]

Did you actually look on your duty list

[wispy mesa]

Well, I still have more questions so bare with me

[signal acorn]

i dont, have my duty finder opened up

[warm snow]

Pool of tribute extreme

[signal acorn]

i can post a pic of it just dont know if allowed

[hidden cypress]

ofc its allowed

[boreal storm]

It’s fine, just spoil tag because you know

[heavy wadi]

there isn't a quest marker for the extremes.

[signal acorn]

|| https://i.imgur.com/4aKgBOz.jpeg ||

[heavy wadi]

you just need to talk to the minstrel and pick a dialogue option.

[boreal storm]

Yeah did you actually talk to him

[signal acorn]

just talking to him has him tell me tell him when i get new stuff

[heavy wadi]

that's what you need to press

[signal acorn]

he also 100% had a blue quest marker over him with both the lakshmi and susanoo promts

but it went away when i got lakshmi

[heavy wadi]

you completed that quest is why

again, talk to him, there should literally just be dialogue options

[signal acorn]

Did you story skip? I think there was an old bug where story skippers have to beat the regular story trial

[signal acorn]

ok

[wispy mesa]

Rn I’m doing really boring side quests in arr, fighting pointless mobs, doing errands essentially, and I’m used to doing errands since I played guild wars and bless unleashed, but it seems this period is taking a really long time

[warm snow]

LET THE REVEL....BEGIN

[past frigate]

oh ok ty

[warm snow]

See there's your problem

Side quests in this game are shit

!faq questicons

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

[warm snow]

Because its a final fantasy game literally EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[boreal storm]

are just lore 99% of the time

[heavy wadi]

that's how base games of mmos are, lmao

especially this one.

[wispy mesa]

Won’t I be underleveled if I don’t do the side quests?

[warm snow]

No

[heavy wadi]

the whole first 50 levels or so are the base game of the expansion that sets up everything

[boreal storm]

Lol no

[heavy wadi]

lol no

literally just do msq.

[nova umbra]

do rings not drop from p1s?... I've done 3 clears and haven't seen a single one

[warm snow]

@wispy mesa if you do everything on your tracker you shouldn't have any levelling issues

[boreal storm]

MSQ will get you to max lvl

[wispy mesa]

I’m relieved and irritated at the same time

[warm snow]

Final fantasy game first, mmo second

[steep egret]

nope, MSQ gives you plenty of EXP
only time you maybe underlevelled is either really early on, like under level 15,
or when you get to MSQ49, as there is a level gap between quests, but you're likely to overlevel

[wispy mesa]

I’m really happy that I don’t have to pick carrots anymore, but I’m also irritated I wasted 5 hours

[boreal storm]

Also there’s a bunch of stuff later to help level alt jobs

[steep egret]

just do MSQ, and if you can't continue, do a side quest or 2

[warm snow]

Well unfortunately a lot of arr stuff is side quest type stuff, but with more story and it will pick up for those aforementioned peaks and valleys

[wispy mesa]

Also I’ve been told you can be multiple classes with one character

Is that true?

[hidden cypress]

yup

[steep egret]

yes, you can play all classes/jobs on a single character

[hidden cypress]

just go to the guild you want the class of and do the quest

[steep egret]

each class/job has its own levels/experience

[warm snow]

!whoami

[warm snow]

Tadaaaaa

[hidden cypress]

scholar and summoner share xp though

thats the only pair

[pulsar hawk]

Do I have to finish Shadowbringers to play THE TWINNING?

[steep egret]

yes, scholar and summoner both come from arcanist, so if you want an easy 2 for 1
Scholar is a healer, summoner is DPS

[boreal storm]

Yeah

[warm snow]

Yes

[boreal storm]

It’s an 80 dungeon

[pulsar hawk]

damnnnn, thanks

[warm snow]

ShB is fantastic anyways enjoy the journey

[pulsar hawk]

I rushed my way to 80 and thought i could do it lol

will do ty !

[warm snow]

Nope, EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[limber hound]

Walk around in the final area for a bit

is calming

[steep egret]

a lot of max level content, is locked behind finishing the respective main story quest for that expansion

hence why we say, MSQ is your main priority

[warm snow]

Not a lot, literally all of it

[wispy mesa]

My friend just asked me if he buys endwalker now, would he be able to play the game, the answer is no right?

[warm snow]

Correct

[steep egret]

yup, answer is no

[warm snow]

Dlc for a game he don't got

Sales paused til Jan 25th

[steep egret]

Endwalker does not include the base game (ARR/HW), so you can't play if you only buy endwalker

[warm snow]

Not taking personal shots at your friend but

[pulsar hawk]

wlmao

[steep egret]

they have to already OWN, the starter edition

[boreal storm]

No base game = DLC no work

[warm snow]

It's a wild situation for the game to be in but that unfortunately how things are atm

[leaden ginkgo]

its only 7 more days tho, which is not bad

[steep egret]

the reason Endwalker is still on sale, is so that returning players, or those who are already paying a subscription, can upgrade to play the new expansion

[wispy mesa]

That made me laugh

[warm snow]

I do like posting this, the community got a shit ton of memes out of this

[steep egret]

im a fan of this one myself 😄

[wispy mesa]

So now I have questions about the classes

[pulsar hawk]

btw how do i stop being a sprout? I am about to finish shadowbringers and i am still one lol

[limber hound]

Reach EW

[warm snow]

200 hours in game

[lapis cave]

for glamour chest is there anyway to see if an item is already in there?

[warm snow]

And finish all of shb

[warm snow]

/isearch

[pulsar hawk]

ahh nice

[wispy mesa]

So I want to be a dark knight because I’m a huge berserk fan, so how and when will I be able to do that?

[warm snow]

There are no specs

Ahhhh

[steep egret]

its 300 hours now, and you have to finish all of Shadowbringers, to lose sprout status

[warm snow]

Not til you reach the first expansion I'm afraid

Sorry dude

[wispy mesa]

Damn

[warm snow]

Everyone wants to be edgy

[wispy mesa]

Ay berserk is good ok

[warm snow]

As a berserk fan you might be interested in lookin up the community memorials done when miura passed

[wispy mesa]

I also wanna be the samurai and ninja class

[steep egret]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Job

jobs and pre-requisites are listed there

[wispy mesa]

Already did

That’s actually how the game got in my radar more

[warm snow]

We had massive groups of dark knights linijg the streets of uldah in vigil

[steep egret]

only the HW jobs are locked behind msq

the others are locked behind levels only

[boreal storm]

And owning the expansion of course

[warm snow]

Samurai isn't on free trial, ninja is the job version of rogue which us a little weird

[warm snow]

You need to do your level 10 class quest to unlock job switching

Then you have to join the rogue guild in limsa lominsa

[steep egret]

you can get ninja by going to Limsa, if you didn't start in limsa, then you need to get to MSQ 15, where you get to visit the other cities

[warm snow]

If limsa isn't your starting city you need to hit level 15 msq for that

[lapis cave]

how do i use that?

[warm snow]

/isearch <part of item name>

[steep egret]

rogue/ninja is a ARR class, but it wasn't introduced until a bit after the game's launch, (but before HW), so it isn't a starting class, but you can change to it very early on

[warm snow]

Or right click and item and search for it

[wispy mesa]

Now when you say main story quest 15...

[warm snow]

Every quest will have a level requirement to start and finish it

[steep egret]

every quest has a level associated with it

[warm snow]

It'll be displayed on the quest box and in your journal

[steep egret]

which you need to be to be able to complete it

[wispy mesa]

Ah that’s what I thought you meant, just making sure

[warm snow]

Your current level is largely meaningless

It only serves to let you progress the msq

Which is what really matters

[wispy mesa]

So basically what i’m getting from this...

[warm snow]

Oh and rogue will start at level 1 so you'll need to catch it up

[wispy mesa]

Just go crazy on msq’s and only do side quests if I’m desperate?

[knotty elk]

or if you want more content

[warm snow]

!faq msqtracker

[zinc orbit]

MSQ Tracker image guide

1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

[warm snow]

@wispy mesa msq AND any quest that shows up under the tracker

As shown in the image above

Actual skills for your job are locked behind job quests, not to mention upgrading your starting class to an actual full job, rogue to ninja, gladiator to paladin etc.

[wispy mesa]

Well, if I buy endwalker will I be able to access the samurai job?

[warm snow]

Endwalker and base game, yes

[wispy mesa]

Nvm, that’s not until I reach ew

Is it?

[warm snow]

But it starts at level 50

[wispy mesa]

Ah

[warm snow]

And by extension you need to be level 50 to unlock it

[steep egret]

as long as you get one job to level 50, you can then change to samurai, if you own stormblook (which comes with endwalker)

[warm snow]

Jobs from arr start at level 1, jobs from heavensward start at 30 and need to be unlocked in the hw city, jobs from stormblood start at 50, 60 for shadowbringers and 70 for endwalker

[knotty elk]

you don't need to reach EW to unlock it, just have a lvl 50 job and own the expansion

[warm snow]

They all have story

[steep egret]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Job
look at the pre-requisites column
only HW jobs require MSQ progress, the rest just require levels

[boreal storm]

All coils lead into eachother

No

[modest igloo]

Turn 3 of the first step can be skipped

[warm snow]

No

[boreal storm]

You have to do the final fight at the minimum to unlock the next tier

[warm snow]

But they need that park our experience /s

Prepare them for kugane tower /s

[boreal storm]

But you won’t get the story

It doesn’t

What

[warm snow]

Wtf

[boreal storm]

Why do people do that

[warm snow]

Dude yeeted himself

[elder sphinx]

Is it possible to 'try on' multiple items to see a full outfit in the fitting room tab?

[warm snow]

Save outfit button

Bottom middle

Have fun

[elder sphinx]

ah geez i thought that was for saving my transmog or whatever, thank you lol

[boreal storm]

No that’s the glam dresser

[steep egret]

transmog is called glamour, you need to unlock it with a side quest

[warm snow]

THE TRUE ENDGAME

[sand spear]

what does the "you will receive the following reward 150 day" when selecting a 90 day sub?

[patent citrus]

click the veteran reward

it counts your sub in total

[steep egret]

click teh link

clickyclick

[sand spear]

it aint say sheee

[patent citrus]

so assuming you have 60 days now + 90 days means you have 150 in total

and for the reward, click the link

[boreal storm]

Meaning you get the Zidane outfit

[warm snow]

You're getting the reward for having bought 150 days of game time

[sand spear]

but i only clicked 90 days sub

how does 90 = 150 😭

[warm snow]

150 total

[patent citrus]

how many months have you paid sub before?...

[warm snow]

How long have you been subbed to the game

[sand spear]

uh

[warm snow]

Not including the free 30 from buying the game

[upper pendant]

How do I get the fieldfiend stuff?

[warm snow]

Scrips

[pure copper]

Is there a way to disable the error message for skills while fishing? have it disabled for combat but taht doesnt seem to apply

[boreal storm]

90 + 60 = ?

[sand spear]

i get that

[sand spear]

free 30???

[patent citrus]

you get 30 days of free gameplay when you purchased the game for the first time

[warm snow]

When you bought the bae game you got 30 days of game time

Oh yeah you also got 3 weeks over the past month

So 51 days

[pure copper]

i dont think those 21 days counted towards sub time rewards

[warm snow]

They ain't

[warm snow]

So 60 + 90?

[boreal storm]

So 60 + 90 = 150, problem solved

[sand spear]

what does the days subscribed mean, when i cant even play

im so sorry i have a walnut brain right now

[patent citrus]

can't get grade 2 anymore

you use grade 4 now

[warm snow]

Game time youve bought over the entire lifespan of the accoint

[twilit arch]

you can't, grade 2 aren't in the game any longer beyond the artisinal stuff.

[patent citrus]

if you don't have access to mb, then just go to diadem and gather it yourself

yeah

[boreal storm]

Yeah

[pure copper]

yes

[patent citrus]

level 10

minimum, to enter diadem

[boreal storm]

20 for crafting

[sand spear]

OHHHHH bless u

[warm snow]

You can't gather grade 2 only grade 4 though so don't try that

[warm snow]

Good cuz I couldn't think of a way to dumb that down to peanut

[boreal storm]

GC turn in, leves, collectibles

[sand spear]

[boreal storm]

Nothing

[patent citrus]

[warm snow]

Less than an arr side quest

[hidden cypress]

smh

[sand spear]

it just says that its cosmetics, like oof

[boreal storm]

I guess the challenge log exp is better but like

[hidden cypress]

[hidden cypress]

You can also get the images in #kupo-bot-spam by using the iglam command

[boreal storm]

30 to desynth

Because you have to be lvl 30 with blacksmith

[patent citrus]

look at your tooltip

if the symbol says blacksmith, then you need lv 30 blacksmith to desynthesis

each items are different

[boreal storm]

Cul desynths fish, it’s the least useful in that regard

[prime plover]

Is the armor from panda savage best armor in the game currently

[robust crow]

best armor is a combination of both panda savage and upgraded astronomy tome gear

upgrading astronomy gear also comes from savage
