I'm in SEA for reference
ahhh cheers
then you don't need to use a VPN and using one is known to cause issues
I meant the actual queues, like waiting 1000+ in line to get onto the server.
I can't sign up without a VPN either
Yup, Behemoth > Sophia within 10-15 minutes, just gotta keep trying
no
it's down
Those queue don’t exist because the mass of players left, be it those who only sub for a month, or those who went back to wow the day microsoft made their deal to buy it public
That's what it said for me, then I refreshed and luckily got the page where I could initiate the transfer lol
Just RNG at this point
is it worth getting classical sag gear?
yes
is it better than trial gear?
Can you log into other characters while waiting for 1 character to transfer?
I got the email notification that it was successful. I guess I have to wait in line
yes
yeah this?
pentamelding stronk
Sorry if the question is dumb im just paranoid
you can't buy the 5 slot things right?
You'll get two, one telling you that the request was successful and another follow up telling you that the character is ready to play.
I also wanna know. I made an alt also before transfering
you can, but also all of the gear can be pentamelded
just isnt guarenteed
I see, I only got the first one
am i fine just buying the cheapest ones from the market?
as long as its HQ yes
It says you can now log on and enjoy the game but I'll wait for the second email
cool thanks
Thanks for the answer @crimson nebula
How much does it cost to pentameld gear?
Is it necessary for savage raiding?
afaik, yes
a good few hundred thousand gil per piece (assuming RNG doesnt hate you), and ideally you'll want to since it gives you more of an advantage for DPS checks
You can log on and select the Datacenter to view it to see if your character is there or not yet.
Ouch, that's really expensive. That's about 3-4 million gil?
roughly
and no you dont need it
not anymore, its week 4
dps checks are just gonna get easier as people get more gear
actually it might be a little more
6-7m
if you do a full set
Yea, only the people who care about world first spend that kind of money on gear
i mean it helps in week 2-3 for checks in p4 as well if you're in pf or have a funny comp
If its week one, prepare like 10-15m lol
but week 4+ its not worth it
this
Its not too bad now
😱 if I just dual meld and join party, will I get kicked for not pentamelding?
yea its not worth it since its week 4
And then there’s all potions and food
no
esp next week with 590 weapons
just make sure you bring food and pots
590 weapons were out week 2
Depends on the party
drops from p2 p3 respectively
everyone next week can have 590 weapons
in pf no lmao
yea thats true
what
but will everyone get them? no probably not a lot of people
imo 590 isnt worth it unless you can upgrade it and you wont be getting your 4s weapon for a while (or if you just dont do savage)
wgat ayest kig
Yes, I’ve seen some posts asking for fully melded gear
what quest log
my static fuckin better its 500 tokens this time
parties? ive joined those and havent goten kicked, we cleared fine lmao
that shits ridiculous
what's the max meteria level?
i mean what fight is your static on
10
J by default on Keyboard
can you buy them anywhere?
still workin through P2S bc 5/8ths of the group is doin UWU on the side
market board or you get the clusters to exchange from like roulettes and stuff
ehhh its up to the static but if you're only on p2 its not really needed
i only have this one compelted
you can to help with the checks, but gear just goes up the more you clear, and if you're progging that slow you'll probably have a lot of gear by the time you hit p4
yeah fair
whats the dps check for p4sp1 again?
Complete it to unlock next quest from urianger
48k
Is the new character restriction on Ravana gonna be lifted when people go to bed?
i done them all
he doesnt have any more quests
but the more weeks go buy the more tome gear your static can get, if the dps check is still an issue once you guys hit p4 yea id get em, but i wouldnt force a static progging that slow to ge tthem
I pre-purchased the final fantasy endwalker a while ago (Sep 2021) and it appeared in the check window that I actually had it, I left the game that same date, now that I download it again and check my account it shows that I do not have the pre-purchase in the check list and lets me "buy" it, does anyone know what I can do?
should have gotten an email or if you bought it on the SE site, go to purchases itll have your full game code
Check the SE store where you buy it, there is another code
Early acccess (po code) code =/= full expac code
Do you need to have experience joining savage raids before in pf?
I'm interested in trying it out but I'm worried about my performance since I've only done normal this far
depends
if you join a fresh prog party its fine
but dont go jumping into one that says "clear"
No need, but make sure to join fresh prog PF not the "X mechanic" , "aim to clear" or "seen enrage"
join one that says "Fresh prog" or "beginner welcome"
check to make sure that you've done the Bowl of Embers (Hard) by going to it in the trial section of duties in the duty finder and look for a green checkmark in the top right.
If it doesn't have one, queue for the duty and complete it.
After that, go back to the Waking Sands and Papalymo should have the next quest
where do discal tomestones come from?
Also, have you done extreme trials before? I suggest trying it first if you never done it cause extreme is the bridge between casual player and hardcore raiding
P2S, or turning in 7 sword tokens from P4N which are earned once a week
i done them all and its got a green check
gotcha ty
go back to the officer at Ul'dah
Only unsynced unfortunately
I think that's the next part
swift?
just asks for triple triad matches
is unique the item tag at the top that is for can only have 1 of that item ?
yes
cool ty
Do extreme trials have DPS checks? Or you can clear it as long as you know the mechanics
Try the EX 1 and EX2 first then. Savage is harder than ex so you can meet difficulties handling some complex mechanic ( or comvo mechanic( if you straight jump into savage
older ones can just be solo'd
and there's no blue quests at the waking sands in vesper bay?
mostly*
They have enrages
And some do have DPS checks
They do have but dps check is very forgiving compared to savage
no
all extremes have DPS checks
but if you have it in your glam chest can still have a unique on your person. ?
wait, then which quests are you looking for, Extreme Garuda/Ifrit/Titan?
you need to do Gale-force Warning
gotta be Garuda first
need to do extreme garuda first
Hmm I'm no good at rotations. If I know my job basic stuff, is that good enough for extreme trials?
the 2 afterwards are in waking sands
Ideally you want to know how to do a rotation and do it decently enough
You should have your rotation down
not really. extreme content is basically the starting point of "know how your job works or else."
But you can be an absolute muppet at your job and still clear it
unless you don't get the mech
You should know your job rotation tbh.
Align buff and potion is optional but encouraged
like with Levi's slam

I see, I only have 2 jobs at 90, blm and pld.
Which is better for getting a step into extreme trials?
do you want to tank or DPS
the one you're more comfortable playing
Paladin feels easier to play but more stressful since it's such a crucial role so I'm not too sure
dont have that
.
Whereas blm is DPS so less responsibilities but I'm kinda bad at it since I need to move around constantly and stop my casting
got it now
Wherever you felt more comfortable
Tbh tank is not that "stresfull" as you imagined
The only crucial and exclusive tank job is tank swap (and using mitigation correctly but this is already mandatory in w2w dungeon). you nailed that, you are good
so if i have 2 of these, which one is my actual ping?
Ping is not always the same number. Sometimes it fluctuate a bit, try more test to see which one is the average?
dunno if this is an unpopular opinion but, tanks in most cases are less stressful than dps, with dungeons being the only exception. Tanks have a far easier rotation and have a much better time focusing on doing mechanics than dps. MCH and SMN might be the only exception, somehow having an even easier rotation + range
Yeah depends on what you are good at.
100% this
Easy rotation, usually not one shotted if failed mechanic, fast queue times. Tanks is the most comfortable role
Hmm but tanks do have to know the entire fight in and out since you need to know where to position the boss or the whole raid suffers though...
Whereas DPS is mostly monkey see monkey do haha..
But if you tried tanking and still feel stressful, then you could stick with BLM
I see, I'm just trying to see if VPN made a difference
is the ping here accurate? https://arrstatus.com/ When I do a ping test on my cmd prompt OCE has lower ping

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Do this
you need to know a fight on dps too, even moreso on BLM
That arrstatus is using NA as epicenter
Imo on most fight you just need to pull them to mid
On specific case where you need to move them... You will know via guide
Heck dps also need to know especially if they long caste like blm
DPS in 99% of cases also have to know the mechanics and do them, esp in savage raids. positioning the boss as tank is in most cases literally just putting it in the center and face it away from the group
i had full armor inventory and could not get an armor for my quest but now i cant find it when i try to buy it from calamity salvager either
i need Uwagi for The will to Live
check your inv
aha ty ^
Tank and dps perspective are different, both need to know fight
got it. so cmd ping is more accurate.
Thanks for the tips guys
Icic, I think I'll give both a try then and see how it goes, worse come to worse, I'll have to level a summoner and play that instead haha
Yeah, try both, stick with the one that you most comfy with
Looking to transfer from Crystal to Primal for raiding, any suggestions on a home world/places to stay away from, etc?
was talking with some people on the JP server, and they mentioned how NA/EU doesn't like raid macros and waymarks? This true?
do you have to be a certain level for hunting logs to count
oh wait
NA mostly from what I see
I think EU still want macro
NA however... I heard a lot of things
i need to change job
how far into endwalker does a character usually hit 90
dunno if i should level a second class that high just to not waste xp
been told its enough for at least 2 jobs
if you don't do dailies, around 88-89 (for me at least)
had another character where i threw daily exp into, swapped to it once i hit 90, was pretty smooth
Experience gained will definitely varied amongst players
If you don't play often
You will build up more rested exp
So you will hit level 90 sooner in the story
well im planning on finishing shb and endwalker by next week so i dont think ill be going through too many dailies actualy
but i guess we will see ey
i did around 2-3 levels a day, for reference
Than someone who just blast through the story on one weekend
has anyone gotten the 15 days of play time for getting to lvl 30 on materia yet? i got the million gil yesterday but not the days
if you've gotten the 15 days before on another character you can't get it again
the 1m gil is a once per datacenter thing, IIRC
i haven't gotten those before though
might just be congestion from people flooding to Materia
best to give it time and use the support desk in-game to report the issue if you still don't get it in a day or so
also, you might want to check your spam/trash folder of your email just in case it went there
If I may ask some questions to clarify something
Right now there's no preferred world?
i don't think it went to my spam folder since i get normal FFXIV emails just fine
no preferred worlds currently
i made a character on materia before there but i deleted it immediately because i wanted to be a viera, don't think i won't get the days because of that, right?
that shouldn't prevent you
The road to 80 for new Oceania characters and transfers last for just 90 days?
90 days from character creation or until the server status changes
And doesn't work like preferred world's "90 days or world no longer Preferred, whichever last longer"?
Whichever comes last
unknown for sure, since it's a new thing
Fair enough
Yea exactly like that
Home World Transfer Service is free of charge
Gift of 10 gold chocobo feathers, exchangeable for special rewards such as rare mounts
Double EXP bonus (until level 80 is reached)
* EXP bonus valid for 90 days starting from the time of transfer.```
from the home world transfer page
so it might work past 90 days
NZ/Aus
I meant the datacenter
sydney
hey what is this icon
When does OCE free world transfer end?
Busy
ty :)
When the servers no longer have the new status, only SE knows when that'll be, likely a few weeks at least
Good morning. I just started playing FFXIV and play on ps5. I mostly heal and was wondering if there's a way to configure the controller so that the up/down arrows target party members and the left/right arrow target the enemies?
Hello friends, any prediction when we might be able to transfer to congested servers/worlds?
Noone knows, not until they stop being congested. Weeks/months probably
world statuses typically change with patch updates
so the earliest expected change is patch 6.1 in March/April
AFAIK, no.
If it's not in the controller settings of the system config, then you can't.
:( it would be so much easier to dps/heal that way
is there a way to hold L1 and cycle through party members?
im new and looked through settings
thought maybe i saw something like that there
Party member is fine with the arrows. It's mostly quickly switching to an enemy that I'm struggling with
small question! Can i log in with a different character when a character is being transferred?
Switching enemies left right d-pad
ive seen videos where people have a "main target" locked on their UI but its not visible on mine and no idea how to get it
with all the dailies, I should be able to get from low-77 to 80, yeah?
easily
Focus target is the name, don't know how it works on PS tho
good
yes thats it. would be awesome if any ps4/5 users knew how to get this
I can almost start EW then
Yes but you still cycle through party member in an instance for example
if it's on the same world as the character you're transferring from/to, i don't recommend it
ok thank you :D
Have they reopened the trial access yet?
no
I don't think so
Ah my friend wanted to play it lol
i think if we can figure out how to get "focused target" on PS4/5 that would solve our healer woes
should be in controls
in terms of easily targeting your focus target?
Oh I know how to focus target.
on kb I have it bound to ctrl+v
you can make a macro for that
How can I test my ping for the oceania DC? I think I might have better connection to it than the one im currently in but im not sure
i mean to have the focus target window on the UI pop up
I just wanted an easy way to cycle through enemies only using the dpad

Ty!
how many allowances do you get per day?
6 for leves
leve allowances? 6 per day
3 every 12 hours
thanks!
beast tribes are 12 quests per day
I’m using world transfer and it says I need to pay even tho I’m moving from congested
are you going to one of the Oceanic worlds?
Transferring out of a Congested world is only free when moving to a Preferred or New World
and there's no Preferred worlds currently.
Ohh
Oh well
I guess I’m paying
I that preferred meaning my preference plus not congested
The gold pouches are sold for gil
you can safely sell everything expect for some stuff in the top 3 rows
i think you can just use those mgp vouchers
Thanks
Sold or use somewhere?
only sold for gil
Ok
Sold, when you look at them they'll say how much each
!item clear demimateria i
I don't quite get why they're like that rather than added to the gil you get for quest completion, but I tend to sell them as soon as I get them
items meant to be sold to vendors have the "Exchangeable for gil" line in their tooltip
Aaah ooook
Speaking of gil, what's the best way of grinding for it at level 50? I've gotten the bonuses from the roulettes I have access to, and I'm not sure what else to do other than some of the beast tribe things
I thought you actually needed to exchange it somewhere
you don't really have much options at 50
Ahh, I feared as much lol
My oder of endwalker was cancelled, but i still have the accesorie that comes with the pre-order 
should i have to buy it again?
Yeah, I'm 25 in carpentry and gathering, so maybe I'll have to get those up and sell some stuff like the housing pieces that I hear sell for a lot
Any
Ohhhhhhhh okay
It's always half a level
Done; thank you! o7
the final boss of the game is the website 
One last thing to be sure, is there any viable way of using MGP or Tomestones to get gil? I have 155k and 1.1k respectively if that comes into the equation
Lol, I definitely agree with you there Edu
Just need to learn it's mechanics and be patient and you'll get through 
I tried to transfer to Sophia but I realized my alt was there LOL So I deleted it. I should be able to transfer now right?
Yea should be fine now, not sure if you need to wait for SE to update lodstone first or so, in which case you might need to wait a few hours
do glamours change based on gender? Coming from wow for example there’s tons of armor that’s weirdly skimpy on female characters but normal on male ones
There's some cases
Most widely known the belly window for the Drg Armor
But overall it's not too common
Don't think anything you buy with mgp can be sold (for more than 1 gil to npc), there's some stuff you can buy with tomes and exchange for soil, but not sure how profitable that is anymore. There's some lv 80 mats that used to be decent as well but also don't know how they're doing now
yeah, MGP is strictly only usable for untradable stuff
and none of it can be sold to vendors
is there a way to reclaim the friendship circlet after my dumb ass accidentally discarded it?
Ahh, thanks for letting me know!
Not sure at all, but could try the calamity salvager and see if it's there
I checked and can't find it
For making alts; you just make one right and no other thing to do (FINISH ARR for example)
I'm attending a wedding
And friends are attending my wedding on May
pray go to the Waking sounds PTSD
Yep, is where I started anyhow; (WHM MAIN!_ so I won't be locked with airship
Thankies
for actually holding a wedding, you need to be lvl 50
Now just to get a house on 6.1 and we're OK
If I logged in before getting the transfer confirmation email? is it FKED?
or just gonna take longer
Hey anyone know the prerequisites to becoming a rogue?
finish lvl 10 class quest
unlock limsa
and that too
level 15msq for that
its opposite the fisherman guild
what is Soul of the Crafter
Yes. I'm on the level 17 MSQ and the mission is still red.
you're ignoring your class quests
Did you do lv 10 class quest?
do your job quests.
Im not sure, I am new. How can I check?

question for those of you much more experienced than I. i gave the game a shot after bouncing off of it a couple years back and im getting sucked in. thing is im now living in jp with a toon on behemoth and im kind of wondering if i should jump on the oce train for rewards plus time zone and language vs coughing up 18 bucks to transfer to one of the jp servers for ping+time zone but my japanese isnt very good and it seems eng only life might be hard if i cant transfer into tonberry plus with ppl leaving to oce. or i could just say w.e and stay put.
im still only lvl 40 so i dont really know how much bad ping vs queue times in off peak hours vs language barrier stuff is gonna suck as i get out of ARR and into meatier stuff down the line. im sort of just wondering if it were your choice what would you do? for reference on the ping i get 123 to NA, 127 to OCE, and 15 to JP.
!faq serverip
When is the hidden timer for purchasing a house again? From what hour to what hour?
doesn't exist any more
It'a still there for now
In Tonberry
OCE transfers are free for the next while and the jp servers are gonna reduce in eng pop probably rapidly over the next month. In the end its up to you
What about minimal?
A few seconds
The jp servers were also openly celebrating being free of the "gaijin" which translates to foreigners so they'll probably be less friendly to non jp speakers in the future but who can say for sure
Whelp. No DR for me tonight. Clicking placard all night looong 😂
Is there a plugin to merge 2 macros ?
iirc simple tweaks does it but it's still gonna be fucky
Its for crafting
still gonna be fucky
Can't find it inside the plugin
For boosts, if you boost a scholar for example does that also get your summoner level up? I have no idea how it works
levelled up yes, geared, quested and unlocked, no
will you have to do a ton of quests to get it going?
Mmm think it's 'Something needs doing' plugin
Yes
all your missing job quests
Haven't used it tho so not sure either
Such plugin doesn't exist in the list
unless you download it separately
i have trouble logging in into elemental server, does anyone else get the same issue?
nvm i think its fine now
I didn't
mightve been named Hardworking peon?
gotcha, yea that was something else i was wondering about. i'll probably give oce a shot and see how it goes if that turns out not so great i can always transfer again later
I can't predict the future but gaijin is not a nice way of saying it so take that as you will
just started ARR and im level 4 fresh out of the tutorial, who do I go to for a main quest or do I do random quests till im a certain level ?

2 is more important than 1, LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS LOCKED BEHIND 1
Oh ye I do have experimental plug-ins on too, might be hidden in there @solid fog
Hello, which one’s the website where I can check which characters I have active? Like the list of my characters and which servers they’re in. Is it the lodestone?
got it thank you
I have it on too, which tab is it ?
Not be a dps
Can't remember and I'm not on pc so can't check unfortunately 

Dps have the longest waiting time
I didnt know thats a thing be4 i play the game 😦
not be a dps, select all the languages, queue with other people
i think
not sure about the second one but some people say it works
2nd thing doesn’t matter with NA
There’s that i guess
it's pretty standard for games. Everyone wants to be a dps. having "responsibility" as a tank or healer is scawy
tank is easiest if ur not prog
A lot of supply, not enough demand. Unless it’s with alliance raids
There's also more variety in dps
@warm snow i what i mean is i didnt know thats a thing that i have to 4 man in all raids and have role restriction on that
I would have be either tank or healer instead
ye dungeon
and you can play every job on one character.
Actually bowl of embers is trial
No its in leveling roulette 
ye but uk , dont wanna start over or pay 25 yet
You don’t have to
It's free u can pick up other jobs rn
Lvling an alt is easy
ye i just start the game so i dont even have my main leveled up yet so
and why
jobs below your highest have a 100% bonus combat xp called Armoury Bonus
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 90 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 79, which then reduces to +50% for level 80 to 89. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
and you don't ahve to do MSQ to unlock duties
among other things
you can just NYOOOOOOOOM to 90
hehe dungeon exp go brrrrr
Also roulettes
There's also alternative ways to level up if your dungeon queues are bad
such as palace of the dead, heaven-on-high (potd but 61-70) and bozja (an instance zone for 71-80)
Daily roulettes give nasty amounts of xp (easily 2 levels per day if not more)
has anyone actually recieved the 15 days of playtime after hitting 30 on materia?
oof too many information here i cant load
Tell me about it 
tl;dr
It's stupidly easy to level alt jobs
will this stack with the 100% bonus from server transfer to OCE?
Everything stacks
yes
Unless stated otherwise
Well
Every xp bonus of different types stacks
So food + armoury + road to 80 + fc/squadron buff + any xp bonus from gear
Are there no lvl 80 tomestone weapons?
dang thats nice. ty for clarifying
different vendor
There is
all those will be unlocked?
Cryptlurker
u can buy them from eulmore
there are. it's a different vendor.
so i can ez level up?
At fathard or crystarium
Only story stuff gets unlocked from msq skip
As usual
Thanks 👌

Halp
I’m leveling miner and botanist through collectibles and I’m capped on gatherers white scripts, what should I spend them on?
No one said anything about skips
basically the first time is the hardest and most painful cause u lvl through the MSQ, for alt jobs its much easier
Just pick up another job in a city
Gear
Tokens for legendary nodes
Story skip will skip your MSQ progress all the way past SHB onto the first quest of Endwalker
i just used the macro chain plugin its in the experimentals settings of dalamud and it works perfectly!!!
Assuming you buy the proper skip

does anyone have any server recs for new player
sorry if this question was asked before
my friend is in faerie but
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
as you all know
And if you did decide to get the skip you’d have to level all the way to a lvl cap before continuing the plot
mhm
Any you can actually get into
Thanks! And Where do u exchange the tokens after I get them?
All of aether is currently congested so you couldn't start there even if u wanted to
is it that i can upgrade my job or sth at level 25?
it be the way it do
Ur class becomes a job at lvl 30
Gotta do your job quests
Pick any in NA it don't matter
splendors vendor
oh yes and also
where do i find that air ship to travel thru cities?
is there a map for it
it has an airship icon on the map
U can teleport now
The airship landing
its usually in the cities
It's been a few hours since.
Restarted PC
Updated all drivers
Ran everything as Admin
Deactivated all sound decives bar my wired headset and wired mic
Reinstalled FFXIV in it's entirety
It still crashes.
Do disciple of hand classes like Fisher work for the lv 30 oceania bonuses?:O
Also if you got all the aether shards in a city, you could just warp to it
I don't have the time for a static and would like to "casually" prog the new savage tier as sch. Would it be a bad idea to jump into 4 immediately? I have full crafted, although I haven't melded it.
gear is gonna hold you back
P3S has some nasty checks too
Especially if you're not even melded with a single materia
if you're unmelded your ass will be beaten black and blue
and what was your gear level at the time?
Yikes that sucks, and there's no optional windows updates or something?
otherwise just try contacting support
I would definitely not jump into p4s immediately 
you literally can't
pf has enough trouble with p3s as it is.
hmm fair. I'll probably meld my gear and then go into 1
updated everything in windows that I could
at this point try get some help in #technology-discussion cuz we only got basic advice here
bought cosmetics on ffxiv website got it from postmaster done the glamour quest
where do I find it?
moogle mail
I thought you said you got it from the post?
otherwise you were told to allow up to 10 business days
does no one read the receipt?
ye got it from post just dunno where it went
its probably in your inventory or your armoury
your armory chest or inventory
Have the devs. ever said something about updating Anti-aliasing?
Weird and potentially dumb question, why is the eat bread emote so much more expensive than the eat apple one?
harder to get
Supply and demand
No
Glam
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
so is there a company that is more beginner friendly that the eq locate at easier spots?
it was an envolope
but I dont see it
I did open it up
what did you buy?
Did you take the items from the letter?
I'm currently paying for my sub on my pc account. If I buy the ps4 complete edition, do I still get 30 days free playtime on that same account?
no
yes
ok
Flames hq has the shortest walk from its aetheryte, so that’s a thing
been crafting a lot of collectibles and have a ton of white scrips, have all the master recipies i need rn, and have been stockpiling tokens for HW relics weapons later...are there any other items i can get with white scrips that i should stockpile for later to save myself some work?
*The Complete Edition includes a 30-day free subscription period for newly created service accounts only.
that's what it states on psn lol
and that's wrong, weird
per platform

why it doesn't, no clue
Are you sure u took them from the letter
Blame Sony

inn room?
It’s got a bed icon on the map

you need prisms to put shit in the dresser
hey guys why aren't there any preferred worlds right now?
preferred worlds are to handle low population worlds
there are no low population worlds
Game is far from low pop
ah
Are housing lottos opening today? My FC is talking about it but thought it wasn't until 6.1
they open in 6.1
No
6.1
6.1
It's in 6.1
Aka when we also get the new housing district aviable tho u can visit it already
I have a question regarding account stuff (directed at console)
So my friend bought the complete edition yesterday, he forgot his password and went to reset it, but password reset requires a birth date which he remembers all apart from the year. Reason being is he makes the year completely different from the actual one for security reasons and now he's forgotten it. But I also heard that the square enix account syncs to the PSN account which idk cuz I'm a laptop player. So now he's at a point where he doesn't know what to do.
Contact support. Don't use fake DOBs.
Or thr least write it down
Is ff14 raid harder or wow raid?
youre comparing apples to oranges
Yeah they have different priorities
by lots of peoples opinions at the highest level yes
WoW raid is mashing your buttons while doing random mechs thrown at you. XIV raiding is a very tightly controlled dance
how does one remove a hatpiece
unequip it?
no like for cosmetics
unequip it
if you want to remove the glam cast on a headpiece you use a glamour dispeller
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
hey i'm stuck in a cutscene it won't let me progress the dialogue by clicking is there anything elese i can press

You can also just click the “Don’t show headgear” button on the character screen

hey guys what happened to aether compass?
moved to collection
what does that mean
if you hover over the broken icon it explains it
listed under duty on pause menu if on ps (Aether Compass)
its not an actual item any more
it's in the collection menu so you can't toss it or other dumb shit
does anyone want to hop in a dm voice call and explain to some things to me, i got a decent chunk of questions to ask so it would be annoying to spam this chat. id really appreciate it
Read the compass tooltip.
also takes away the cooldown
just ask 2 or three at a time

im level 27 lancer. how do i switch my job to something else? Will my MSQ switch to whatever my alt job level is so I can actually progress in the story or do I need to grind my alt job up to progress. If my friends start playing the game, can I replay quests with them ive already done?
!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.

is it still possible to change hair color?
yes

You can summon him from inns after unlocking

hi heard that ill get the mount after the company u keep mission
ive passed that but i still dont have a mount
its a side quest at your grand company HQ

called my little chocobo
does that mean I can do daily delivery ?
oh yes im stuck on that
that gives a lot of exp
how can i get the issurance
buy it with grand company seals
Do the next msq for 300
is 300 enough? i have the 300
in duty
;/
if you looked at the quartermaster shop, you’d see that it costs 200
i suddenly got disconnected from the game and closed launcher and opened then this appeared https://i.imgur.com/elVezIB.jpeg
what happen?
How long after I delete a char before it gets removed from the Lodestone?
I can't buy Hades weapons in Revenant's Toll, right?
pentamelded piece or 590 ilvl one ?
There isn’t a MB there so no
is there a shortcut for the mount?
General internet issues
I meant from totems
Eulmore for the ShB totem weapons
pentamelded 580ilvl piece or 590 ilvl one wchich is better ?
590 piece 99% of the time
cute pf
In your actions window, there's a button for summoning a random mount. Or you can get it from the mount guide in the character menu.
Main stats trump substats
Drag mount button to hotbar
Sorry for repeating but no one has answered my question.
How long after I delete a char before it gets removed from the Lodestone?
It depends
on what?
ok
my internet is ok it didn't shut down or anything
It just depends, there isn’t a concrete time or anything
depends on when the lodestone updates
wait my actions window?
the connection didn't broke i was listening to music on youtube and spotify and was even dowloading some files and nothing happen
so it can't be my connection
Lodestone updates twice per day, correct? Noon & Midnight japan time?
.
So I paid for a Home Server Transfer but it still says my home server is my old server any reason why?
Home world transfer systems are congested right now, so it's taking longer than usual to process transfers
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/e6866c6a62f6f0fe0d71547b71d3eb8c3f09c238
......Great thank you
so i can select my transferred character in the world i transfered to, but i didnt get an email saying that it was done, should i just wait longer?
Scroll up
whats that icon means
How much astronomy do the savage raids give?
I See you didn’t put your mount on your hotbar, you need help with that or?
30 each
not enough to make it worth farming
just spam expert or do a hunt train
the mob difficulty icons are largely a carry over from 1.0 days
and not really mean much beyond like 3 of them
yes i didnt know which one is
last two iirc are used for A/S ranks
im just getting on mount guide
for normal mobs it really doesn't matter
You should only have 1 mount tho
You can drag the icon from the mount guide to your hotbar
oh
And even if you have multiple you can drag the mount roulette over
But until those 1st two things are done, the icon will reappear every login
Hello, I'm trying to transfer from Diabolos to Spriggan but I cannot find Spriggan as an option
Any help?
I want to transfer world mainly bc of the bonuses and I checked my ping and its around 200ms for Oceania
Am I making a mistake in terms of latency ?
Double weaving gets dicey
Check again? I see it in the list of destination worlds
if you want the 15 days you can just make a separate character there and level to 30, sub is account-wide after all
the 1 mil isn't really worth it
I gotta be blind or something lol
My friend was able to transfer but I just can't find lol
maybe you don't meet the requirements for spriggan, like you have a character there while on entry sub
Good point, I had a character there but I deleted yesterday
then the system likely hasn't updated to recognize the character has been deleted
I'll check If I made another character by mistake
yeah its gonna take a while for the deletion to go through the whole system
Last time I deleted a character it took like 2 hours to fully go away
Hope it doesn't take too long this time
!status Spriggan
Character data updates seems to be slower due to the home world transfer congestion that's going on. I've seen complaints about characters not updating on lodestone.
It’s gonna take a bit, with all the transfers n shit
sales reopened, world transfer was reactivated, could be that massive server load slows things like that down
yeah that's probably why people aren't getting the 15 days yet too
i relogged on my materia character and i got my cruise chaser like a whole day after i started
Okay thanks! But isnt there also the double exp bonus ?
how many trainings are there for dps
?
only for newly created characters, you dont get it from transferring
7, if you're talking about the hall of novice
Are you talking about hall of novice?
yes
are you supposed to get your gift of 1 mil gil right after hitting level 30 or after waiting some time
It might take a while. Some of the behind-the-scenes systems are congested
i see thanks
I just checked and it seems they changed it for this time ?
Is there a ranking on job APM thats updated for EW?
if not, is the highest APM healer AST with the lowest being SCH?
sch has ruin 2 ED stuff so that adds to its cpm
Wow summoner went way down in the new version
okay, so sch is now second highest healer, wow
"The CPM is for all weapon skills, spell, and abilities."
so how is CPM different from APM?
oh movement maybe?
Nin kinda cheats since you arent really casting your ninpo whatevers
like its 4 button presses but you do one thing
Can you see anywhere in a chatlog if a party member got kicked?
Had someone just dissapear in my fc from a duty but they didnt leave themselves. I didn't get any votekick notification though
You don’t see it if you’re getting kicked
It wasn't me, but a party member
Also the vote would’ve happened
^
According to them they didnt leave themselves
it was weird
Do you get the 30 minute ban even if you get kicked?

Hey so on august 7th I bought the complete edition of ffxiv and I kind of ended up dropping it and playing some other stuff and now that I want come back the game is saying that I dont own any version despite having a level 71 character and etc., is this a bug or something I'm so so so confused ?
If you bought it in August, you’d just have ARR-ShB
then there is something sus going on, cus they did say they got that
Check your mogstation
!faq mogstation
What does this mean , is that like expasions n stuff ?
Okay
But you never lose the game, should just need to resub
Did you actually register the complete edition? Because if you did, the Issue is probably just not having sub time
Well if they had a character at 71 they must have
Were they afk in the duty?
nope
Yeah im pretty sure
Cause look
Does recruit a friend program applies to a free trial player?
No
Yep looks good, and do you have a sub going?
It says subscription inactive
So i just resub to play
?
Yea
so if they are on free trial, can I still invite them into the program?
No
So then should i just buy the new expansion ?
You cannot recruit someone until they register the starter or complete edition of the game.
No reason not to, it’s not getting cheaper anytime soon
is free trial back up for steam users?
no
so I invite them after they buy the game?
After they register
You get your recruiter code from mogstation and give it to them for them to enter on their mogstation after they buy and register the game.
So even if they already played with the free trial, I can still invite them if they're going to buy the game
So if I buy this do I get access to the game or do I still need to sub separately from it ?
Yes
so as of right now theres no notice of when free trial will open back up right?
Expansions have nothing to do with subscription time
Thanks
nope
You can't register that. The picture you posted before shows that you already own it.
Can i not pay through steam the HWT?
No they don’t have EW
sadge and thanks
Ok so then ill just renew my sub and if end up coming back to it like before then i will buy it
Appreciate the help king
Hello I just got the complete version via the Square store where exactly where can I find my registry code

Same actions

is there away for me to full screen the game
In settings
Are there any MSQ exclusive items that you cant buy or find elsewhere?
a large number, yes.
You can buy the msq exclusive rewards from calamity salvagers if you discarded them, but only after you've gotten them
Oh ok
You can’t discard a good majority of them
How many hours did you guys wait for your transfers>
the transfer service is very congested at the moment.
ah fair
