Question about upgrading from the Mog Station free trial to steam complete edition. Is it just buying the game on steam and getting the codes and putting those into the website or am I completely locked out of steam and have to buy from website? I can’t find any hard answer from any of the forums.
Well they could’ve boosted
i know what GCs are i just didnt know what GC stood for
Oh hoho
It’s the same thing
at what time does HWT come back?
Imagine checking the pins
tbf you do need a long list for abbreviations for things in 14 sometimes its looking at code
Reading is hard
It's honestly the things that don't get abbreviated that are harder to understand.
this is pretty normal for mmos, tbh i think ff14 has some of the least
Like Savage strat names.

I can't activate the expansion key, this is a bit frustrating
ff14 has a ton altho i dont really know how it is in other mmos
@wispy spruce are you entering the starter edition
So which FF14 i have to get when i wanna start playing by today when the server's open again for new players
Xivs abbreviations seem about the same as much as there was in wow
starter edition at least @bleak basin
It really just depends how much stuff there is to actually abbreviate
You can't register keys from Steam if you already own the non-Steam version of the starter edition. Which is the case according to your screenshot from before.
The version of the base game you have entered, is it the same version as the expansion you're trying to register? Like, if you have the Windows version registered, you can't register a Steam expansion.
And vice versa.
I didn't find any place to put the key from the game base, but on the platform it says that I already have the game activated
and the version is from steam
would it be better to create a new account?
If you don't mind losing what you already have, sure.
We already told you
You'd be starting from scratch, but you would be able to use the steam keys.

Oh you need to end tre your key through steam if it’s from steam
He's already got the PC version of the base game entered, so that's not the problem.
You registered starter, now register EndWalker. You should’ve bought from the same place you did originally
You could also contact Steam support and try to get a refund. Then buy EW from the SE store.
for me it is more worth buying on steam because of the price, on the site the value of the game doubles because it is in dollars
Then you'll have to make a new account if you want to use the Steam codes.
You'll lose all of your progress to date.
And have to start from scratch.
So if that doesn't matter to you, then you should do that.
Is there an Option in the Menu or Console Command that removes the social gating in this game and stops you from messaging people that are doing something else in game lol
Has to be the worst feature in any social game I've ever seen
I will do that thank you very much for your help
There's an option you can turn on that will stop people from messaging or interacting with you, if that's what you mean.
And you can't message people who are in instances.
are there dps comparisons after the new changes yet?
It's been 8 hours
you never know
Give it at least a day for accurate logs
ACT isn't even updated yet, afaik.
We won't have comparisons until there's log data, and that requires ACT.
based on the numbers alone this was one of the theorized spreads that i've seen, but as others have said there's no way to concretely tell yet.
i'd just lurk on the balance to see what they come up with 
can i turn off the music trigger when i level up?
yes and no , yes you can but it cant be using the same characters for the mission
The fanfare? I think so, but it's lumped in with... System Sounds, maybe? So it would turn off a bunch of other things as well.
ah damn ok
does anyone know when home world transfer available again?
It's available now.
Oh, tomorrow, sorry
what's the dungeon with the spinning turtle and the four cannons?
Stone Vigil Hard
Stone Vigil Hard
@twilit arch can we get this pinned
gotcha, ty!
please
Sen you know people don’t can’t read pins
but look when you hey look
It's still, nonetheless, something we'd be able to point to.
When would be the best time to go for the limbo chest and pants piece cause I got head and gloves rn
Whenever
any
Whenever. You'll have the same chances at any time.
unless you plan crafting and overmelding
Raids aren’t going away
does HoH scale forever? I'm about to start playing with friends, and I'm looking for content similar to something in wow, keys. In wow, dungeons can scale up basically infinitely, and its fun to see how high of a "level" you can clear. Is HoH like that? Or is it more for leveling/a side thing than end game content? If it isnt just for leveling/a one time reward, where can I find information on what jobs might be good to bring for it?
Just keep trying until you win the roll.
Lol ik just wondering when it's best to go for them
Nope lvl 70 for exp
100 floors
There's no infinitely scaling content. We scale down rather than up for most content.
There are no systems similar to mythic+, and there are no plans to implement such a system either.
aw ok
thank christ
And yeah, PotD and HoH are side content with a lot of rng cosmetic rewards.
For a group of 4 then who probably wouldnt look to join a guild for raiding, what would end game content look like?
Leveling up to 30 on OCE servers grants us 15 days of ff14 sub right?
M+ was introduced as an endgame gearing system in WoW. We don't have that kind of bs rng with our gear here.
FCs aren't for raiding.
People join statics
As raiding is 8 people and not 10 or 25, like wow
I literally get all 3 of my credit cards declined, and when I try to buy the game with paypal it just says " you canceled you payment", anyone got any ideas?
Endgame content here is kind of a broad category. There's Savage raiding, which typically isn't guild-based like in WoW, and is mostly done through party finder. There's also casual endgame content - dungeon, normal raid, Alliance raids, etc. all of which offer gear comparable to or only slightly weaker than what you can get from Savage.
Do we know when world transfers open back up?
anyone know how to fix this?
Or you can go do things like crafting, maps, etc.
or be in limsa for reasons
10pm PST. It's in the pins.
Please read the pins before you ask easily answered questions 
I can't get my Mimesis for some reason and idk what to do
Have you tried restarting your launcher?
i have no idea where to allocate stats for this relic
yeah, also tried repairing the files
Ulan to the northwest of the idyllshire warp
Try opening the launcher and just waiting a little while.
The last time that happened to me, the login fields came back up after about 15 minutes.
is there a way to display fps in game?
i did the stat allocations months ago, but i guess the stat squish needs me to do it again
no
you can check fps in the display menu in system configuration
esc system confic it shows the fps in right
oh good, the reconditioning was free
Ah just found out where pinned messages are. My apologies.
would people possibly still be able to make a character in gilgamesh if they wait till like 3 am? i did this around endwalker release but i cant speak for today
No, congested status is a long term thing. It won't be lifted until the next patch at the earliest.
oh okay, but theres a free server transfer coming up soon too no?
No
That's only if you're moving to a server with New World status (oceanic servers currently) or moving from a Congested server to Preferred server.
thank u
finally successfully created service account
And you cannot transfer to a congested world, even if paying.
Alright guys
So, I can log into my square Enix account right
But the management system won't let me log in
Apparently because my password or email is wrong
But it works on my account
Then you’re using the wrong info
So is there a way to tell which tome of reological folklore I've bought? I forgot which ones I already had...
can't log in to mogstation with your email
Your gathering log
its weird, i know, but it's how it is
Tried and failed
awesome, thanks
then you're entering your info incorrectly
Just to be sure, is it possible to complete the quest Best Friends Forever by doing the trials undersized?
the squenix store is a different account from mogstation.
sorry, wrong quest name
It just wants them done
for how long approx do you think the new world status for Materia will last?
we just don't know
I apparently need a one time password but to get that I need to log into the management system
Couple months prob
so if im in gilgamesh, i could free transfer to a non congested data center and world?
You do not need a one time password.
That field can be blank.
Leave it blank, try again
you can leave it blank if you haven't set up a one-time password
This is your MOGSTATION info right?
how many cp in minimum i need to craft these?
I don't have a mogstation
Do my friends have to be in aether for us to be able to play together? or can i play with them if im in aether and they are in ie crystal or primal
Really wish they would make it easier for us to play
Don't even know what that is LMAO
normal craft or hq?
you need to make a mogstation account.
Okokok
normal will be fine i think
minimum stats would be listed toward the bottom of the menu.. do you mean HQ craft?
MOGSTATION is a separate account from other squenix services.
for the mempisang lumber, Yamate
yh the min is fine to get it normally made trying to hq is oof for that
ah okie thanks!
But I already have one
No
???
gotcha, thanks
You have a store account presumably
for reference it's just down here
Which isn’t the same
Yeah, so store account isn't the same?
again, mogstation is not the same as a square enix store account.
store and ffxiv account are separate accounts
But they're both called 'square Enix account'?
don't really know how the math works but will upgrading from a 580->590 weapon be better than going from a 580->590 armor/accessory piece?
This is so confusing oml
welcome to ff14 where buying the game is harder then the bosses
compare your primary stats - vitality and whatever your job uses. generally speaking whatever gives the highest growth with those will be more valuable to you
There is no cross data center matching unfortunately. You’ll have to be on at least the same data center as your friends
LMAOOO
I think I'm in the home stretch though
ty
also what can you overmeld more to give better stats
Is anyone else having problems downloading the game on ps5?
only crafted gear can be overmelded
but overmelding can be very costly
its great profit
Am I missing something here?
very very costly 
Not HQ, stat shitty
I've been struggling to get the third overmeld on my main hand for a week
AHHHH
have fun redoing that left side
Hi , I have free trial and an account, but it keeps ask me idenfication code
I will
Looks fine
at least now I understand what I'm doing lol
Yeah, by march. That's a decent amount of time to have easily amassed more materia by then
yup
AYO MADE IT TO STEP 2
thanks!
is there a cheaper way to get game time?
iunno have a sugar mommy/daddy I guess
yes play 1.0 b4 it died and yoshi gives you free time
hmm
ah yes I'll get right on that brb
guess ill buy 60 days of time rn i guess then
The tabs lmfao
Monster Hunter Rise on bookmarks bar
Think I got it though

Ayooo
might wanna close that pronhub tab
Gotta get those sns builds
Can I use shadowbringer key to get access to all dlcs except endwalker or the key becomes useless the moment endwalker came out?
how to scare someone with one easy step
shadowbringers key is still usable but does not include endwalker
Why didn’t you use it already
so it's kind of redundant now
You should still be able to use the key. Only way to know is to try it.
is there a faq on the free world transfer service? im in aether and id like to go to another data center to play with friends if that's possible?
because buying endwalker would give you shadowbringers
Yeah I understand, the situation is kind of a chore to explain, thanks for answering
Thanks for answers
the complete edition now has endwalker!?
Yes
yes
Been that way Since 6.0
Yes because endwalker has been released
OH HELL YEAH
for veteran rewards two does it like go from 150 days to 240 days or is there another number inbetween it b4 you get 240 days
just confused on it thats all
It’s just the 4 tiers

aye how tf do i get this to work
bc i wanna put my chara settings onto my character on a different dc
so i have 150 days right and my sub resets tomorrow so will it just go to 240 then?
that's not the purpose of that option
ah
the purpose of character setting back up is for if you transfer like computers/pc to psn
sad day
you need to go into your game folder and copy iirc addon.dat, uisave.dat and hotbar.dat (or just all of the dat files) into the new character folder
there may be an .ini file or settings file in your appdata that stores that on the client ?
is there a unstuck command? I fell into a rock and now I am stuck

i had ff xiv and all expansions on PS4 Pro but then my ps4 pro DIED halfway through Endwalker and i havn't been able to buy a new one
so i've been waited for 2 months for the sales to be un-suspended so i can buy it on PC and log into my account
so i finally bought the base game today, for 24.99 but i can't login to my character cus it says i need the "endwalker expansion" to play on this character
do i need to buy the base game PLUS endwalker expansion again for 49.99? or is there a way to activate it since i already bought the expansion once for my account when i was on PS4?
You should probably call an ambulance for that 😰
lol
:(
You need to register your EW code
where do i find that
yes, you need endwalker as well on pc
how do I check ping to different servers?
base game on pc only gives you access to ARR-HW zones/content
Oh wait
so i need to buy endwalker again
yes
Yeah you have to re buy everything for a different license
it's because buying the game on windows / ps / mac are all different licenses for legal purposes for their parent companies
it sucks but it's how it is
hopefully i didnt lose my house after not being able to play for the last 2 months, they didnt send me any demo notices so it should still be there
ur supposed to get an email though
depends on when you last entered
cos auto demo was suspended shortly after EW launched
Isn't demolition still suspended?
yep
i took a 2 month break leading up to endwalker and they send me a demo notice so i was able to log in and visit it
depends on when you last entered then yeah, if it was less than 45 days before EW launched then you're fine
hmm let me think when did EW early acces launch
december 3rd
did they remove the need to do role quest to dye af gear?!
no
That’s still a thing
you sure? cause i didn't do it, and now i can dye my gear altough yesterday i couldn't
ok so its probably only been about 40 ish days cus i was able to play endwalker for about 2 weeeks before my ps4 died
pretty certain, nothing's changed
You are talking about the 90 gear?
are these ip addresses accurate??
!faq datacenterip

racse - viera and hrothgar
how do i cancel a CWLS ad on the community finder?
jobs - gunbreaker, sage, samurai, reaper, red mage, dancer
current, bro i swear to god, haven't done the quest randomly unlocked the ability to dye it, and it wasn't like this yesterday

ok so how do i activate endwalker? i bought it on steam, where do i input the code?
mogstation
on mogstation.
mogstation
!faq mogstation
did everything on the support side of things, got nothing. then i found some guy who was willing to trade but refused at the last minute because he doesnt know if he wants to stick with the game or not, i guess im stuck with this NA code forever 
What website is that?
Thank you
Again ask Square to change your region, as other guy said
where can i find some art that i found in game
when i went into square's support thing through mogstation i didnt get the option to file a ticket, selecting a ticket category just redirects me to the FAQ
unless im doing something wrong?
The SQUARE ENIX Support Center is a centralized support site that provides product information and solutions to the frequently asked questions and issues with our products and services.
ok upon reopening the dye menue it seems the message of role quest not complete not showing up was a visual bug since reopening it shows it now (I checked same place, first time didn't show now it does) sorry for wasting your time

the FFXIV steam launcher asks me for the serial code
If I get the starter edition on ps5, would I need to spend £45 for the complete edition or £50 for the collectors edition? Or can I just buy something that will give me the rest of the dlc?
and im a free trial player
Slowly confusing myself with this
If you have the starter edition, you only need to buy Endwalker to get the rest of the expansions
Ohh, just the 36.99 one?
how can i skip this and go directly to the login screen?
im a free trial player that deleted the game and then redownloaded just today
Yes
That or Endwalker Collector's if you want the bonus stuff (not essential though)
I think I read online that the free trial is still off until further notice but I’m not sure
it is
but that's just registration
but i used to play the free trial
i have a free trial account
Oh
but the launcher asks me for a product key
But wait I bought the complete collectors edition of ps5 and I still can’t play
and i play the game on steam
Hey just making sure is the game purchable now on playstation
Yes
For me it says unavailable
steam has the purchase available
You have starter edition in your cart according to that
Forgot to get rid of that. But a month ago I bought the complete endwalker collection and I downloaded it but still couldn’t play it. But my dad told me to delete it and redownload it and it’s been like that since yesterday
What is the best data center to start in North America?
I didn’t buy starter just the complete
any
If you already bought it, then you should be able to find it in your library to redownload
Ok thank you
Oh how I wish it worked like that
Is it not in your Game Library?
No. It’s gone just because I deleted it but it’s in my settings storage thing but I cannot seem to download it there.
Learn how to download your PlayStation Store purchases to your PS5™ console or PS4™ console and how to download games remotely.
Honestly I wish they made the game easier to play
Biggest boss I bet I’ll run into XD
Playing the game
Even if its not installed, it should be in your Library section that shows all of the games you own digitally
Sorry but does it matter which primal data center I choose?
Primal is a datacenter. It doesn't matter which world you pick from Primal unless you're looking to join a specific FC.
Sounds good 🙏🏼
Trying to complete a trial leve at Whitebrim, Coerthas Central Highlands and it's not letting me initiate the leve? Clicking on "Map" says "Unable to open map at this time."
Any ideas on what to do here?
That's the quest window, not the leve window
how can I gift my friend a subscription renewal ? :3 is it possible
Give time card
I should triple fell cleave in inner release, right?
how do i reenter PotD on a certain lvl? I just finished floor 60 and wanna go again for floor 51-60 but i only see the option to queue up which puts me up for floor 61-70.
You have to delete the save and start new to get the option to start at 51
done, but is there history of people getting their region changed through support? i honestly doubt they'll help me, hopefully tho
ty!
so, before i fuck up: i delete the slot in which i got to floor 61 ? not the other one?
Yes
If your second slot if empty you can use it instead, but then if you want to go again, you'd have to delete one.
where can i farm alexandrite? (is it only from dailies or can i farm it? )
Hey just making sure is the game purchable now on playstation
Yes
You can buy Mysterious Maps from Auriana with poetics. They give 5 alexandrite each. Or you can buy alexandrite with allied seals from a hunt billmaster.
You can also do fates with the Animus weapon equipped, but I believe that's slower since it's up to RNG
and i can keep buying them as long as i have poetics or is it capped?
As long as you have the poetics
sweet thank you
Hey does anyone here know how to download the free trial version of ff14 on PS4?
you can also get a map for free from a weekly (or daily?) quest in Mor Dhona
Hey guys good afternoon, i can find what expansion come on the Starter Edition on steam, you guys know?
I can’t find it and I’m trying to find it rn so I can tell my friend how to download it
New free trial registrations are still closed
Fuuuuck
Is that why the free trial version is like nowhere to be found on all platforms?
Starter edition includes ARR and HW. Endwalker comes with the rest.
Probably

They haven't said as far as I know
wait what? thats dont make sense cause i can get for free that two on free trial, thats lame 😦
New free trials are disabled. Existing ones can still be used.
No word on when they’ll be back
the f off were full aint just a meme 
if i upgrade from free trial to the complete edition, does my free trial ends (where u can keep playing till lvl 60)?
When you switch over to a paid account, you can't switch back.
Yes, the trial ends when you register the starter or complete edition.
ah
You'll get 30 days free though. After that you have to pay for a sub.
should i finish free trial first then?, im just worry they may stop selling the game again
I mean
you can buy the game now if you want
you don't have to enter the code right away
thats up to you we cant decide how you spend your money
If you're not buying for PS, you can hold the codes. I doubt they'll suspend purchases again though.
they said that they may suspend sales again
if it gets out of hand
wow 9.2 flops oh shit another wave of refugees 
Ehh most people already moved on from wow
9.2 is the hopium it doesnt flop and they come back
name checks out
Lmaoo
Do dots snapshot?
yes
everything snapshots
what is this job
scholar , though alphi calls it acadiam
Oof, so I should reapply dots whenever I get raid buffs, or buff myself as AST for example?
alphinaud is an academician, though in practice it's just a scholar.
Alphinaud uses a unique version. But he essentially uses a Scholar kit.
@neat drift just apply them as soon as they run out
one day were get alphis carbuncles
That's perfect, thx

hi i just started playing and now on my first raid , i want to know is there a way to recruit someone to play with or only duo with frd
since i feel like im going to wait for 30 mins to get in since its a low level quest
You can invite people to party and then find a duty
Queue for the duty i mean
what do yall think is like a rlly fun class that also does good dps
ninja supremacy
Best thing to do is wait, or find random people in cities
what are you referring to?
sastasha?
"fun" is a subjective word
that's a dungeon. and it won't take 30 mins to queue for.
yes sastasha
i assume raid means crystal tower since newbie
ok guess i will stand and wait then
it shoulnt be a long wait alot of newbies like joining the game so spots will fill fairly fast
Do extreme mounts really have a higher droprate if more people in the party have the mount already? I thought it was a joke but enough people have commented on it in farms the past week that I'm wondering
That’s confirmation bias
thats somthing you want to believe
Those were my exact words the first two times rofl
;/
if it was true ppl would ask join my extreme group farm , only for ppl who have the mount and thats oof
what do gatherers generally meld? I was just gonna toss some crappy tier 8 materia in my gathering gear because why not
don't feel like pentamelding or anything, just hate seeing the slots empty
perception then GP , atm for me full HQ crafted gear i can gather anything at 100%
are there any GP breakpoints to hit
GP for me is because i want use more moves on the folklore/collectable
PlayStation players who are thinking on buying this game, don’t buy it digitally, buy it physically.
well I know 800 is helpful to be able to use that 200 gp action 4 times for collectables
enough stats and you only have to use it twice
how can i download game
Why?
What are you playing it on?
pc
im aiming for 900 myself for folk lore , gift2 ,tidings integrity X2 so i can have more beside me gathering more means i get more spiritbond so i earn more materia to sell /prepare/reuse
Trust me I bought the game digitally and I don’t think it’s as annoying as buying the physical copy
quick question, is anyone else getting payment console errors on the mogstation?
I think you play it on steam
Free trial - Unless you're already registered, can't
Else
Buy starter from square enix store or from steam (up to you which one) and redeem it on mogstation
Is there nothing I can do to make the shadows better??? This boss's shadow is terrible looking.
that's the best you'll get
Can you play with people from other servers or data centers when queing up for things like dungeons and trails?
only other worlds within your datacenter
other worlds on your datacenter
Okay interesting, did they say they wanted to make it cross datacenter in the future?

yes, but not until 6.1 or later.
As AST, will I ever use Benefic when I have Benefic 2 ? I just looks superior
so its basically only for lv rotate when I hit a low dungeon with no access to benefic 2 ? Ok ty
yes
Are there server transfer bonuses for going from congested to recommended tonight?
@copper scaffold
Benefic 1 is more mana efficient. Benefic 2 is more GCD (damage) efficient
No it's not.
that's misinformation.
Does anyone know why my friend (who already has a ffxiv account) can't log into the game on her ps5 account? (she usually plays on pc)
that hardly matters cause you just never use bene 1
There's no reason to use bene 1 once you get bene 2.
no one told me i get 5 alexdrantie when i open 1 chest here i thoguht i gotta spend a week trying to finish the quest
It does matter, that's their purpose
and that's it
nope.
never
Are you going to argue that bene1 is NOT more mana efficient?
I don't think I EVER said
"Use bene 1 if..."
I said it's more mana efficient
that hardly matters cause you just never use bene 1
just dont use it end of story
Well Bene 1 seems to be more mana efficient 450 for 400 is better than 700 for 700. Its obviously worse in any other way, but true > it is more mana efficient
don't use bene 1.
period
yeah im aware, that wasnt the point.
If you're at a point you're using bene 1 someone has really fucked up
if you use it you'll get grief for it
Essentially just use bene 2 pretty much always
she needs to buy the whole game on ps5
there is no situation to use bene 1 in.
I already have the complete edition on my ps5, does she really have to buy it again on the same ps5 to play?
yes
(shes playing on my ps5)
thats your account, not hers
^
Ahh so does that mean i need to rebuy the game for £45 on pc to play it there if she already has it on the pc?
that sucks damn
is repose used or is it more of a gimmick that I will (nearly) never use ?
We swap between console/pc
repose? it's useless
@copper scaffold you need it once for the lvl 80 role quest and thats about it lmao
overworld content sometimes
What they can't just log in with different username and password that's whacked lol
ok. I wont complaign about one less thing to keybind ^^
then that wont be their account/character??
The only thing in your entire AST toolkit that you'll probably never use is... Undraw Lv.30
haha yeah just buy it again
repose is extremely niche
you can keep it on your hotbar but might as well put it far away
I forgot if repose/sleep works in Eureka?
havent looked at the card system yet. Is it just useles ?
yeah its fine for eureka and thats about it
yes you never undraw you just play
It puts the card you have drawn, back into the deck
and it's gone
£180 just so we can switch between ps5 and pc? thats so ridiculous
It's essentially wasting the card
Wait, does it work the same for pc? Or could we both just use the same client to log in
she would need to buy it on pc if she doesnt have it
One platform for one account per perchase
you need to rebuy the game on whatever platform you want to play on
no she just wouldnt be able to log in
Sorry i should've been more clear
only your character would be able to log in
I got a character to level 30 on OCE server and received 1 million gil but I don't see the 15 days on Mogstation. Is this normal?
are you subbed?
yes
You don't need a separate download you need a separate registration key for each account
using crysta
might just take a bit to show up
Ahh so we have 2 accounts, both registered with different keys
But we're wanting to switch between ps5/pc when one of us isn't using it
bought 2 complete editions
The keys are specific to the platform
I'm using Crysta as one time payment per month. My sub doesn't end till February
so you have a ps5 key on your account but she doesnt
How long does a congested world stay congested?
my 14 is non refundable
so she wouldnt be able to log in like i said
How would it be possible for me (ps5) to use the same account on the pc?
-60 i guess
if you bought it on pc yes
until next patch if they decide to change its status
next major patch*
I mean like, if the game is already downloaded on the pc, how would i get a pc registration on my ps5 account so i could play it on both
you enter the pc key into your mogstation account
Ah, so if I'm on Cerberus my friends can't join me?
Ahhh
@brittle kite nope
Would i have to pay for 2 monthly subscriptions to play on pc/ps5?
No
if they are 2 separate accounts yes
both you and your friend would each need to sub
Meaning we can queue to dungeons and stuff together, but can't have overworld interactions?
World visit for that
!faq world visit
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
Ok so the only outcome for us to switch between both of the same pc/ps5 is to buy the complete edition again on both accounts
yes your accounts are entirely separate
it doesnt matter if you both share a ps5
you need the proper keys for your accounts
I wonder what would happen if i bought the starter edition on both accounts now
for the opposing pc/ps5 of each account
even though its endwalker
you would be locked to lvl 60 content and below and if you logged out in a expansion area you wouldnt be able to get in
You would only be able to access arr and HW content on those devices
ohh i see
You get a big fat 🚫 on your exp bar
tbh it wouldn't be a problem, the main reason I'm annoyed is that i was supposed to be playing on pc while my friend was playing on my ps5
I think I somehow locked my cross hotbar and can't drag&drop abilities anymore, even though the setting is still on..how do I undo the lock?
but i used the wrong accounts to register the keys
So i just thought it would be an easy switch considering we both paid full price
sad
If I have EW on PC and ShB on PS5, where am I restricted on my lvl 90 on my ps5?
shb content
Shadowbringers and lower content
So I can't even walk into EW zones?
if you log out in an EW zone you wouldnt be able to log in
Gotcha. Ty
shift+left click anywhere on it, the lock should reappear i think
I'm on ps4
I just had to click on the lock symbol..must have accidentally clicked it at some point
Thx though 👍
you're welcome, wasnt sure how it worked on controller
Hey, i have a question about ps4 i recently bought the game and its saaying i dont have an active service account to play ff14 im kinda confused lmao.
You need to buy the game+expansions on Playstation again afaik
Is it worth getting the story skip to move past the Heavensward post story stuff so I can go into Stormblood?
is server transfer free or do i have to pay to change servers
No
Cause it wraps up heavensward story and sets up stormblood
A proper move is paid, but you can visit other servers
3.3 is the proper end of heavensward story
If you don't care for story at all, sure I guess
Heavensward was pretty cool though
3.4 and 3.5 sets up stormblood and the stuff going on there
The post patch is significantly shorter than post arr
what do you mean i have to buy it again?
Exactly that
i'm trying to redeem the codes steam gave me for base game and endwalker and i'm getting an error code i2501? what do i do
Are you a steam account?
Sorry last question, is anyone on the European data centre? Which is better, light or chaos?
They're literally identical
do you have a vpn turned on? if yeah turn it off
i was told i could switch from regluar to steam fine
Are you using a VPN?
when is the restriction for new people not being able to join old servers being lifted? i want to join my friends on spriggan :((
When SE decides
Congested worlds are locked for however long they feel
yeah i checked and i'm not using a vpn
throw wide the gates SE 
oh wait could this be because i'm in NA playing on the EU servers
Not that
Your server means nothing in terms of account stuff
But you did buy from the correct regional store, yes?
Any other software that might hide your ip or something?
trying to make my character in aether and every world is full?
what am I supposed to do?
Play on a different data centre
Go to the other NA DCs
alright, my issue again: bought the game on steam, gave me an NA key, but my free trial account, which has over 500hrs of gametime and the one i wish to upgrade is EU, meaning i cant use that key. i filed a ticket but no response, although they probably wont help me/change my region because its stated in the ToS, i also cant refund on steam. is there a solution? am i completely screwed? i cant even buy the game again even if i wanted to. -60 i guess?
Aether’s shut down
shut down?
Locked
locked
how can i dye my weapon
how does visiting different servers work? like can i just visit my friends to do dungeons or can i only visit their world to see them in the towns
permanently?
Until Se says so
oh shit i think i have the same problem 😬
!faq worldvisit
not all weapons are dyable

i cant dye my current one even though
You dye weapons the same way you do gear
you can vist their world just by going to a crystal you are taught on your 3rd quest as long as its on the same data center
It says on the description if it's dyeable or not
!faq dyeicons
If it's not dyeable then it's not dyeable
it only lets my dye the handle
Yeah that happens, too bad so sad
You can't change it
No just aether

If they were we’d mention it
we have the same weapon fr
See here for all.congested
And as we said
Npcs break the rules
Custom model
can’t I get a recruit code for my friend while I don’t have an active subscription?
not cool
They get custom shit
npc often get custom gear
that usually goes on mog station
after 4 years
yugiri is a fun to look up
You can't copy it exactly
But boy have people tried
sadly you cant copy merlyb or gigachad rahbuan

any tips for targeting on a controller
D-pad
Swap targets during cast time of your previous gcd
has anyone else heard about audio issues on mac after the patch? I was about to tell a friend who only has a mac to buy the game but maybe I wont
its annoying cause it doesn't fully swap targets
primal or crystal
Then turn off soft targetting
it changes then i cast and it resets
It's shit
Doesn’t matter
Character configuration > target > switch target circle to target select
Hello! New player trying to understand DCs. I'm aiming for a server that would give me the free 15 days on a preferred server. Is preferred literally anything that's not congested and in aether?
No
How do you change how the sort works again?
Only OCE servers have the NEW status that give the game time
^
Ohh tyvm!
Are the servers lagging really bad right now?
mine isnt
How are side quests meant to be done timeline wise? I have done a number of them but then the lore content of it ends up being tied up to the time of its release or MSQ in the same area. It gets confusing when NPC reminisce stuff like it is happening now
Quests are set in the timeline of when they were added
Aren't beast tribes added later in expansions?
hard to say since it varies so much some are just fun side stuff other abit of lore that connects to somthing
So then MSQ first then do side-quests
Anyone know how accurate this sight is for gaging server popularity? https://ffxivcensus.com/# Trying to find the best non Aether server to transfer too
if you want a followable story
ok so my situation is different than i thought
My SE account is registered to "The Americas" but I play on the Zodiark server which shouldn't make a difference
I played free trial through the normal launcher but bought the game on steam just now. The code I received is for NA, which should work with my registered region, but for some reason i keep getting the error code i2501 whenever i go to redeem my codes.
don't know why i'm getting the code or how to fix it
Terrible
Is there a better way to find good info then?
Nope
all the servers are very fully to max it dont matter
theirs kinda reason why you coulnt buy the game
Well I can't imagine most people wanting to lose an arm to do so. 🙂
I finished MSQ. But then when back to do some ShB side quests and it turns out many still assume I’m not done with MSQ at least lorewise 🤷
Oh, thought you were having an issue with the other way around
Yeah
If you want everything to line up
You need to do side quests as they appear available, then
how do i level up quickly
i'm short 5 levels from the next msq
since it literally skipped that many
for shb and eden it is a funny spot because ofc thancred and uriganger are like yo were here and you finished the msq some side stuff are like wow you an crystal exarch when they know who it is
Roulettes
that’s gonna be hard work. Probably gonna use New Game+ for this. I will try and see how it pans out.
Roulettes and then highest lvl dungeon/bozja/potd
Does anyone know if its possible to gift someone a sub without logging into their account?
Game card
Game time cards probably
i've only get leveling rullet and already did that today
Alr cool tyty
do your highest level dungeon.
highest lvl dungeon
just what lvl are you and are you still in arr?
Brayflox
Brayflox
trials don't give exp.
well not very much to be noticable
@dense pier Oh and thanks for the response 
ugh i've got a lot of grinding wish me luck

still you should have 0 problems with exp just doing the msq then again i have mephina earrings and brand new ring
What floor do I repeat on HoH?
21
tyvm
remeber to eat your eggs for bonus exp
You're doing the MSQ Alice?
yeah
Since they're 5 lvls below, they probably grabbed a new class
Just a heads up, around level 47ish the MSQ wont give you enough XP to continue on with the MSQ, at that point youll need to do other stuff to get the last few levels
@vast ferry mb
i woulnt even worry about that should be enough exp just doing msq on one job its only if you swap have to do extras
It's the new sharlayan cafe one
I was on a single job doing the MSQ and I didnt have enough XP to continue around that range
Cafe Walls @robust crow
I was like 47 or 48 and needed to be 49 or 50 to continue
i had no troubles an i did 0 side stuff just msq only thing thats changed from when i did it is trash exp is now on bosses
i believe there's a small version
and for the record this was around a month ago
yes
so VERY recent
there's a version for all plot sizes
nice
apologies for the repeated questions, but asking again before i get ready to head to bed: is there ANYTHING i can do besides making another account? literally just quitting would be preferable to that considering the amount of hours i put in already. i am deseperate.
those "all in one" exterious house things are always for all plot sizes
One of my friend on console bought the starter pack but it say he cant downloas the game why?
What's the most expensive a house has ever gotten?
you've repeatedly been given the solution. contact support.
you aint the last person whos gonna ask that question
If your friend owns a starter pack code, they should be able to download the game. I was in the same spot and was able to download
the most expensive would be the auto clicker bot who tried to buy a house didnt get it then someone putting their retainer infront of it to take all his gil which was like 30 mil?
A question about the Jobstone: Google tells me to unlock it on lv 30 but i doesn’t mention how to get it. Looking for some guidance 🙂
Job quest
do ya job quests
Have you joined a grand company yet?
do your job quests.
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
the blue ones
i have contacted support and only got automated answers so far, and i honestly dont expect them to do much considering the ToS, minus 60 bucks, i guess ill just accept it and move on. sorry again, had no intention to clog the channel.
i2501 is your ip getting "flagged", typically need to switch off anything that uses some form of vpn otherwise contact support. Nothing else to do
no vpn, and its not that error im getting, my issue is that i bought an NA code through steam while my SQE account is EU.
@regal pawn @half hare @faint flare Thx you very much. Still on lv 10. Probably ill het it after the last one on 30 i assume.
Yup
Lvl 30 job quest will give you a stone
To unlock said job quest, you have to do Sylph-management Main Story Quest (lvl 20)
just keep doing the job quests as they appear and bang job stone ez
@regal pawn No i did not join a company jet.
Thought you said earlier your account was NA? Then yea you're out of luck basically, can try contacting steam
Ye, got a bit to go then
How do you get the level 90 healer gear? Is it from role quests in the Crystarium or what?
you mean 80?
Taturu showed you the shop during thr story in sharlyean
Whats the name of the cloak the ascians wore? I see someone people wearing it
For the 80 you have to do role quests yes, and msq up til you get to gerolt
dw about that your get it its hard to miss
Story gives it to you
Ah okay but does it have a name or is it only for the story?
if i played the steam free trial but want to buy the full game will it transfer over
just play the game dont think about it
can you get gil from retainer ventures
yes in the allagan sacks
He said me he bought it nd he have it on library in the console so i suppose he have it but he said he cant download it mmm i try to ask
Is the combat in the later game more immersive than the combat in the in the first 20 levels?
yes
absolutely
alot faster alot more going on
I can go grab a video of a current high end raid, one moment
going from like 2-4 buttons to 10-20 is huge
yh lvl 20 is like 123 123 123 , while higher lvls your doing all soughts managing resources CD buffs avoiding mechanics
to be clear, you will still 123 on some classes, but youll have other stuff to do as well
Also how do I do dungeons? Because I’m pretty sure I can’t do raids yet
Msq
you just use duty finder
you unlock them in the MSQ
just do the msq and itl teach ya
then can do them again in the duty finder
can the i2501 code come from SE thinking I'm using a VPN when i'm just on different hardware?
and here's the world first clear of current high end content, just so you can get a gauge on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHHL88DFj58
Proud of the lads. Banger of a raid tier.
Alright
off to bed, i guess ill just make a new account and redeem the code there while doing everything from scratch, thanks for answering everyone
how many players have all classes to max? would you say thats a common thing?
Id say its not uncommon but also not needed in a lot of cases
hard to tell
some like to try explore all the classes what they likem some like sticking to one or three that theirs no real way to gauge it but getting all 80 beside sge rpr is worth it for amaro mount
I mean Id need to make like 10 characters in another mmo
and do the same story over and over
If count by using achievement that's about 1% or less
It's fairly common for people to at least have one job of every role leveled to max
woot im reaching the 1%
flexibility is important at endgame
SInce im a free trial player i was trying to think of getting every class to 60 before buying the game lol just doing as much as i can
but didnt know the reality
just do it if you want to just try thats all we can say its your choice
if you find you like somthing great if you dont like somthing then say no ty not the job for me
do i have to completely re-download the game now that i have it on steam?
or can i make it find the existing files and have this not take 10 hours
Does anyone know what the best noob friendly class is? Or one of the best classes to choose from is? I only have the option between glad, pulg, marauder, lancer, archer, conjurer, thaumaturge and arcanist
Any Blu build I can look at?
Ok thank you I’ll just choose the one that looks most interesting
how long is the duration before an FC leader gets demoted for inactivity?
Looking for gear/melds or just spells?
most blu play the same way alot of primal spells the usual good spells for healing and taking w/e aspect you need

@lost grove If just after spells, here's a recommended list for each role: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/lbbz56/patch_545_lv_70_blue_mage_guide_spellbook/

what is Registration Password? I am unable to login on the software token app
says it should show up on my page but i cant see it anywhere
Also the google authenticator doesnt work with the one time password
and it feels like even if i type in the right password theres a 50% chance of it saying it doesnt work
Just spell
please the game auto logged me out and im unable to log in
why is the system and client so horrible
Did it just log you out a moment ago?
If so, the character is still in process of being logged out, takes like a minute
Ok but where do i find my registration password
The serial number for the authenticator
The free trial is available to download or still blocked?
still blocked
This has been the worst experience making and logging into an account
i have had in my life
make sure the time is correctly synced
you can resync it in the apps settings
could someone explain me how the monthly fee works? like if I pay a month when this month ends the game is completely blocked for me until I pay the next or it just blocks some important function? I've never played a game with monthly payment
30 days
if you don't pay your sub you cannot play at all
So 30 days from when you last paid is when you won’t be able to log in
