oh that pic is very helpful thank you! and where is hat gear? isgard?
You can go to Limsa
When you are questing in the open map, remember to bring up your chocobo as battle companion
UPDATE: I have been trying to get on the wrong flipping server for 13 hours. I crossed up the magic sword with the dragon.
They're all on Excalibur.
So. Good for me that Leviathan has been locked after all?
If you are on lvl 53 ish Heavensward story
Shouldn't you have some i115 gears from msq rewards?
And down the line, lvl 53 dungeon will reward you i130 gears too (different from the i130 Ironworks)
okay thank you! for the chocobo help i know i did a quest a while back to unlock it but then never did anything with it will it be underlevel?
It will match your level
and i do have good gear i think its my roatiton thats im messing up
anyone can recommend me a good single target high potency blu spell?
But seeing that you don't use it a lot, your battle companion won't have as many skills
What lvl are you?
for overworld content, Choco Meteor is your go-to spell
As it helps you out in open world combat more, your chocobo will gain exp and rank up
otherwise, just pick any 220 potency spell that you like spamming
Ranking up allows them to learn more skills
55
And be even more helpful
Go grab choco meteor
as long as the chocbo can take the hits i can dps the tagerts down i just cant take the hits too 😛
yessir
The recommendation is you make it a healer
You can use Sleep
That too
!action sleep
chocobo isn't great at tanking since they can't keep themselves alive well
People sleep (ha) on sleep
and have a hard time holding targets
ah okay i didt know it could heal too 😛
God damn it
i will make it that 🙂
theres a lot of systems in the game so i miss alot of helpful things 😛
Drop by and ask questions here, we are happy to help
Game cannot teach you everything by itself
I will thanks 🙂
Soroban
I usually recommend sonic boom since it has the shortest cast time
Sonic is nice, worth the 10 pot sac
why? I need my chocobo for it?
Deals unaspected damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 200 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Potency increases to 300 when partied with your personal chocobo.
A destructive ability employed by red chocobos wherein the dust and dirt in the area is drawn up into one solid mass, heated until it glows, then dropped on a target from on high. It is unsurprising, then, that these feathery fiends─also known as courser chocobos─are greeted with near-universal terror.

Free healer
Just don't use it as a tank
kk gotta get a shitton of gysahls then
They fucking suck at tanking
don't really need him to tank, white wind makes blu not have to worry about hp almost ever which is nice
I mean yeah, but it's also a gcd you could spend doing damage

where do i get replica version of my relic weapon?
Depends on the relic
ARR - vendor near the forge
HW - egg node
SHB - the lady in back left, behind the node
Usually a vendor near where you got the original
let say paladin weapon, i saw a dude with a zeta weapon, but it was Replicate in stead of the real deal
Not that kind of depends on the relic
that would be the ARR relic fully done
is it for that weapon type only or all relic?
Then you can make replicas
You can't get replicas of shit you ain't unlocked yourself
All relics have replicas
damn
well i guess that going to be a end game content once i don't have much to do
What kind of idiot would spend their endgame getting all the relics
glamour
^^ this guy ^^
do americans call it glamor
is !item Mission Ceruleum Voucher obsolete now? (trying to clear inv space)
!item mission ceruleum voucher
ok ty tossing
where kettles
As in the Kettle Fists? you need to complete any Zeta weapon
oh the visual picture above
didn't load for me
Actually I said it as a joke, but also was sorta wondering that myself
Does it need further grinding
yes
it's basically a short rehash of the relic series as a joke
basic kettle fists
Zenith Kettle Fists
And Kettle Fists Nexus, the last one
why
not
is that actually the Monk relic
because Gerolt wanted to make the best kettles ever
no
it's basically a 2nd relic for them
monk gets two relics

most GCDs yes
What’s the best website for timed nodes alerts nowadays?
so that you can adjust your filler to whatever elemental resistance an enemy could have
blu has ogcd?
teamcraft, garland bell, there's a couple
Does FF XIV have a global chat?
no
yeah most primal spells
novice network is global but is limited to only mentor and new players/returnees
so its not available for everyone, plus only so many can be in NN at once
okay, unrelated question... can I use akh morn?
there's nothing like trade chat in wow, etc
like from final coil
Unfortunately no
no, that's a summoner thing

ye I have choco meteor
thanks!
at least I get eruption, which is a pretty cool spell
my gf has a free trial account and wants to keep playing, but i cant find the download link for the steam free trial anywhere.
is it still suspended?
Check the sidebar of the store page for the game
ill check
Though I think the trial is still suspended for any newcomers, and I don’t think Steam players can’t use the download in the pins
she's not a newcomer. she really cant just download it?
i dont see the demo button
wasnt there some roundabout way of triggering steam downloads that doesnt use the store?
I think 3rd party launcher could work
trying out quicklauncher
Pins
would the free trial client work if itsa a steam acccount?
i dont think so
you sure she doesn't have the game hidden or something?
usually free games on Steam, get added to your account when you install them for the first time
you have to explicitly delete them from the Steam library and confirm it to delete them from your account
she has ff14 in her library, but it doesnt say free trial
ill just try it i suppose
she definitely did not. she does not own ff14.
youd have to check her account in mogstation to confirm
or just try installing and see if she can login
the client doesn't really matter, it should only download the free trial if you login with a free trial account
well in terms of what the client is called
still has to be steam client
the game launcher, determines what to download, after you login
Steam only downloads the launcher, nothing else
so just using quicklauncher should work fine, right
i dunno how quicklauncher works with steam
i logged in with her account on my computer, and it started downloading updates.
typically the regular launcher doesnt let me download anything until i log in
she has ff14 in her library, but its not registered to her account
so we cant use it
when we go to login it just asks for a registration code
as in it asks for a code, or to make an account?
pretty sure you can ignore those and click next
for a code
to login with an account
im pretty sure there was no next button
lol she doesnt have ff14, its shared from my library
figures
lol, ok yeah scrap that idea
youll just have to try quick launcher, and hope it works
not sure it was designed to install the game on steam for you thou
i think it will, since it uses steam services and let her log in.
we'll find out
worst comes to worst i just blow the 20 bucks and upgrade her account
Im trying to learn eruption from Ifrit(the dungeon one), but im soloing it, i can still learn the spell while using Unrestricted party?
Yes, but it’s RNG
Yes just doing it unsynced makes it a lower % to get the chances are determined by the stars
Most trial spells feel like 10% learn rate when done unsynced
Okie, asking because i already killed the dude like 10 times, so i was not sure
thanks
was it ever mentioned how long the duration that transfer to OCE would be free for?
Until the worlds are no longer classified as new
World status typically changes with patch updates, and the next expected one is 6.1 in March/April
does rested exp has cap? any way to check it?
if you tranfer servers does your retainer lvl reset
Any idea when lvl 90 EX trial will come out?
6.1
6.1
Ah thank you
There are already two out. Next is 6.1
the cap is 1.5 levels, but you can't see it beyond your current level bar
probably average level of all other members? but not sure
afaik it's weighted to roughly the average of your squadron levels, minus one or two
I mean, might as well use four, even if you don't want to keep more than three, just for the meantime stat bonuses assisting completion.

Hmm, i realized that i think i made an alt in Balmung on the time it was under preferred status and maybe that's why i'm not getting the 15 days. That alt never reached level 30 and i never got anything for it though, could that be it?
dossent matter which one as long as it's DoH right?
ohh
okk
crafting gear dosent matter when overmelding right?
correct
nice, tyty
does anyone know - when worlds are congested and you cant make new characters, is that based on the current level of activity or is it a general population thing? i wanna make a character on another world but its congested :c
it's set by se
oh hey guys, i have a question, how long does SE grants the 15 day game time to the account? i have the 1m gil already but game time is not yet added to my account. ive heard somebody say that u can get like after changing areas or something, but still haven't received it yet
thanks!
It's locked indefinitely.
Usually they change from congested on the next major patch, which would be march/april/may
damn, sadge, my friend is on Odin and just about to start Endwalker so was hopign i could switch over to play with
Any idea when 6.1 releases and how much gil I should save to have a chance at a house?
Does anyone know if I buy a steam copy and use my windows copy login it would work?
i just said right above when we think it'll release lol
Lol, tunnelvision
Thx mate
How much gil should I have by then though? Like 10mil? 100mil?
Depends what plot you want
60 mil will allow you to buy any plot you desire
Smallest is 3 mil
i have 20 mil saved so i can go for the medium with less players in the lotto
Ah, I'm far away from that, but good to know
Thx lads
What do u mean by windows copy login
Do u own the game on windows?
@solemn jewel No sorry I mean the non steam copy the one u buy off their own store
steam launcher/copy needs a steam account
You cannot buy a steam copy if u already own the game on square and vice versa
ohk cool just wondering
when is the new ultimate release date?
whaat
so late?
why do some people worry so much about not being able to get bis if ult is in 3 months
It's not very late? TEA released in 5.11.
whats the bot command to calculate gcd based on sks?
depends on the way you see it
last ultimate released 3 decades ago
but yes compared to savage tier it's not gonna be late
No, it was definitely 2-ish years ago
no it's 3 decades
!xivmath speed [sks value]
!xivmath rspeed [gcd value]

Hey, any new squenix members here? I made an account, and it seems like the server messed up the data entry or something. It says I joined 8 hours from now, and on first login, my username was changed to a huge string of numbers.
Yo do you have to take your soul crystal off when you drink fantasia? Cause I did last night (haven't messed about in character creation yet) and I almost started running around as level 90 gladiator 😂
no
Ty!
Is there somehow any data (including non-conclusive data) showing the percentage of players that pug high-end content versus those in a static?
Are healer/ caster potencies calculated the same?
no
you can't really compare them between jobs
maybe you kinda can for healers but even across dps jobs they can vary due to different traits and buffs
roulette rewards are based on the time you finish the roulette, not start right? so I can start MSQ roulette for instance now and I'll get rewards since they reset in 10 min?
Yes
so I started playing BLM again for the first time since EW, and just unlocked HF2
according to my math it's higher DPS than flare if you can't make flare instant
is this right?
or am I missing something
(also if it is, I HATE IT)

Hello
Is my rotation on dragoon lvl 40 correct
I do the 3 skills to get power surge, then i use the lvl 40 skill thats aoe/jump if available
If not, i use the combo to use Full Thrust
more or less
but also
You can find the updated guide at: [Endwalker Guide Still in Production]
What is Legacy? Legacy is for when a guide is no longer relevant, but is here to show everyone what the job used to be like. Rather than being rid of this guide, I am seeking to preserve history of both my own content and the content of FFXIV. The game is always evolving b...
this guide will work to 80
life surge is always used on full thrust
lvl 50 skill has a positional so get ready to start learning those
Yeah i do that
Yup im prepared i think
then ye the vid does it all pretty much
Okay thanks man
DRG starts getting somewhat complex at like 60 with the long gcd combo
but you've pretty much got the basics down
What is the sprout in my name?
Can playstation players use a level boost?
Indicator of a newer player. It will go away when you reach the most recent expansion and a minimum number of hours played.
Should be able to
thx
Yes
You still buy it from the ffxiv online store
I am going to "gift" it to a friend. that gives me a code right? where would they redeem it?
on mogstation
Thank you btw @zinc bramble, @regal pawn
perfect. thanks
probably on like a paper slip inside the case
that's how it was with the lore book for me at least
You dont get the code until you get the physical copy because the code is inside the cover
Its a tiny paper

any job uses skill speed materia?
Yes
any examples? 0.0
Almost every dps job has a tier level of SkS that they require
Tanks except war, Samurai
gotcha!
might be worth to ask here but
for daily roullete, if it says reward collected, does that mean I'm done? Or should i be doing them once a day?
You can get the bonus per roulette once per day.
i use to have a full screen option that says "3840x 2160" but now i don't see them anymore, anyone know what case might that be?
if it says reward collected, then you've got the roulette reward already today
doing it again doesn't give you any benefits
does it reset on a daily time or 24hrs after you have done it once?
!daily
Starting out my botanist. Cant find any maple sap. None of the lvl 5 trees in Treespeak have it.
At reset
It resets at server reset time.
daily reset is the same for ALL servers
oh! ok makes sense I logged on this morning so it was before the reset
Also the ingame help prompt suggests that Triangulate node positions should show up on the minimal but they don’t.
Does it only work on the default round minimal and not the square one you see by pressing M?
Minimal = minimap
Yeah I know. So nodes won’t show up there?
they only appear on the minimap
Sigh. K
You only see nodes on the minimap
also, make sure you are in the right location
just zoom the minimap out as far as it goes
As for the trees. I’ve spent almost an hour hitting both lvl 5/10 trees in the low level area in treespeak but none have ever shown sap
check the gathering log to find where the resource can be found, click the location for it to show you where it is
The gathering log does show where they’d be if you click the item
1 hour, means ur probably in the wrong place
hey guys, quick question, how likely is it to be able to do Delubrum Reginae (Savage) currently and how many people likely required? would like the Cerberus mount.
You still need discord groups
find it in the gathering log, click it, then click the location on the right, it will highlight the map area you need to go
Lowest amount done was like 24 with specific set ups
Ah. Yeah apparently I was too far west. As in, where the map actually has the “treespeak” label.
Not directly outside the gate 🤔
Yeah don’t trust that
Yeah didn’t know the log has that functionality. Thanks!
or they refer to labels for smaller areas in a larger zone, finding them can be annoying if ur doing it manually
Ended up just buying them from the vendor in same map as botany guild. Lul
Yeah. I’ve run both carpentry and fishing up to 20+
eventually you'll not be able to find items you need at venfors
I honestly just go by the zone popups as guidance. I find the place where "Treespeak" pops up, then wander around within the area until a different zone name pops up.
Welp. Time to turn my minimap back on and pump it up to 200%
So I just started playing this week and one of things i'm most excited about is the good story I keep hearing about. Right now it seems kinda slow. Does it pick up later?
It does, yes.
A lot of the story at the beginning and through parts of ARR are about reconstructing the world lore, introducing characters, and so forth.
oh good because if this was it, I'm a little underwhelmed lol
ofc ARR isnt it
What level MSQ are you at?
that's like watching the first 5 minutes of lord of the rings and saying "wow this series sucks"
msq 19
Oh yeah, you're really at the beginning.
i mean its not terrible, just not anything to write home about yet
yea well LotR wasn't anything to write home about in the first 5 minutes either
You're at the part in the game where in any JRPG you're running around as some random villager who has just gotten The Call to Adventure.
the game is like 200 hours long at this point
I mean, i know i'm kinda slow but i've put over 15hrs in so far
Wasn't 200h before EW? So like 250h
Yeah, it's definitely closer to 250-300 hours at this point.
side content probably
that's before you even get your mount
sure its still very early on but 15 hours in most rpg games isn't nothing
Most RPGs aren't nearly 300 hours long either.
MSQ 19 is reachable within like 3 hours
yeah, i'm not the best gamer to begin with and i've been having fun exploring lol
what side content have you been doing lol
That's fine mate, take your time
not that exploring is a bad thing, but if you aren't enjoying it then don't do it now
i wanted to get glams asap since i like that kind of stuff
Exploring is fine too. The game encourages you to play more or less how you want. But the MSQ is required to get elsewhere.
just know that the story is hundreds of hours long so what youve played is only a drop in an ocean
having a mount, and especially having flying makes exploring way easier
If you've been out to the Waking Sands, you can unlock the glamour and dye systems already.
but mostly have been doing msq
just come back and unlock aetherytes later
and chatting in discord lol
story naturally takes you to pretty much every aetheryte anyway
So what you're saying is... you've gotten sidetracked and haven't actually played 15 hours XD
What astra said. The quests to unlock glams are found in the town containing waking sands
One of us, one of us

probably true lol
it's a slow burn so just take your time
Also worth noting is that MSQ will give you equipment to foot for your first job.
acutally game tells me 19 hrs so i figure at least half of that is msq?
Probably not even.
So don’t fret about crafting excellent gear ASAP
yeah i haven't touched crafting yet
Maybe a quarter of that time is MSQ pre-20 at maximum.
Fair, that was my mistake
i guess my first few hours were very very slow because i haven't really every played a tab target mmo ever and so it took me while to get used to the controls and just navigating the world and all the menues
doesn't play like any other FF game i've played before (obsiously) lol
Yeah, sometimes it can take a minute to get used to the controls in a new game.
Eh I think it took me about 10h to get to msq lv 20 on my alt
I don't have access to kojin beast tribe shop yet, is there any minion I can use that's about similar to the wind-up kojin in regards to lord of verminion?
You'll get a mount as part of the MSQ at level 20 😄
there are chocobo porters
!faq mount
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
And at that point, the plot will also start to pick up a little more.
read the first paragraph
so you don't waste time trying to get the seals naturally
too many new players fall into that trap
I do love those. Great nostalgic music and lets me take a quick break lol
The chocobo mount you get from your grand company also plays the classic chocobo music while you're riding it.
does it matter which grand company i choose?
I… don’t like the Chocobo music
no but kan-e-senna is hot so pick adders
Pick the one you like.
You can turn off mount music.
it's a pretty good recommendation to everyone to turn off mount music
I mean, sometimes you just want to ride around listening to boss music.
So what exactly is the returner’s bonus?
i'd rather listen to the fantastic zone BGM
But personally I'm a fan of the zone music, so I keep mount music turned off.
lets returning players get into the novice network
Yeah, returner's bonus is... pretty underwhelming.
So there’s no point to it
Ah. Don’t think I need that too terribly. After all I can ask questions here.
Basically it gives returning players a semi-novice status. I think you get the xp bonus when queued with a mentor as well.
Not really worth it imo
another noob question. How do you all use all the skills on the hotbar. I can use numbers for the ones on the first hotbar but what about the others? I've just been clicking on them and I feel like there is a more efficient way. The numpad on my keyboard doesn't seem to work for this...
You can assign them to different keybinds.
mkb players usually bind 1234, qert, f, zxcv with ctrl and shift modifiers
I used the keypad too. Assigned the + sign to change the hotbar
Actually it can be pretty significant. I partied up with a sprout to help them level last night and the bonus dungeon EXP went from a 163% bonus with Menphina's Earring + Food + FC buffs to a 266% bonus.
Also, I have a question regarding apartments.
We can have bathtub, sinks, towel hangers and bathroom tiles in furnishing, but not toilets?
ok so no one uses the default keybinds
No one
nope
oh good to know. I just thought i was dumb and couldn't figure out the default layout that everyone uses lol
I use default keybinds aside from movement
Yeah, no, default keybinds are almost universally difficult to use.
or just play on controller 
Like me
Playing my keyboard like, well, a keyboard.
Controller >>> kbm
I see. Thank you!
Why does the duty roulette give too low exp?
Which one? And did you already so it today?
And that's pretty decent xp.
If you're spamming it, that's like doing a random dungeon that's probably way too low level to get any decent xp out of.
is anatman just extremly situational? or a dead skill?
Can you still get that Taoist moogle minion?
I meant when you do it on the first time, is it normal or I'm seeing it so slow? xD
It's for downtime
No
trials and normal raids dont give that much exp
First time per day should give you a decent amount of xp.
so i'm at the dresser and it says no glamours and no glamour ready items. I thought everything could be glamoured
Expert, 50/60/etc doesn't give much at all
Trial, Normal Raid, and 50/60/70/80 roulette don't give a lot though.
!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.
They're not designed to.
You don’t have anything inside the dresser, or any prisms
also youre on the wrong drop down tab hanjo
ye, but it's not like diciplined fist is an ogcd with a really long cd, it's on the gcd and can be put up almost instantly
so I only should do the leveling one?
I am level 54
msq > leveling > alliance are the ones that give most
icic thanks for the help
do all of them once a day for the daily reward u get, after that no use unless farming poetics
If you want to get xp, then first daily each of Leveling Roulette, Alliance Raid roulette, MSQ roulette, and Frontline Roulette will give a good amount of xp.
After that...
!faq altlevelguide
50/60/etc and normal gives tomestones
50/60/70/80 and Normal roulette are more for tomestones than xp.
Trial... is because you hate yourself.
It gives an ok amount of exp, but time can vary a lot so it's only good exp if you get a quick one
how do i get more storage
my inventory and chocobo have been full for the last 3 expansions
retainers
Retainers, saddlebag
they're 175 slots per retainer
how do i get one
Speak to a Retainer Vocate at any main city's market place
They’re always by the market place
Gridania, Limsa, Ul'dah, Ishgard, Kugane, and Old Sharlayan all have a Retainer Vocate.
There's one in the Crystarium as well, but you can only use them to move a retainer from somewhere else to the Crystarium. You can't hire a retainer there.
ight cheers bro
where can i see public combat logs
FFLogs

If I accidentally unstinalled the launcher how can I get it back if the website is has "Start new trial" grayed out?
They took down the trial download. But it's been posted here: #questions-and-help message
Thank you
Sorry just to check I can install this without any issues at all and log back into my account through that and play?
Yes, assuming you have a trial account you can
^
Awesome, thank you
is lvling in bozja past 81+ still viable?
if tank / healer is best way just dungeon to 90?
Yes
You get the full game launcher
It won't redwl all the files right?
Assuming your trial is also on steam, it will download additional file (expac files)

When you shout in the old cities, which are split into two zones, does your shout cover just the section of the city you're in or both sections?
*more miserable
question: why do you unlock afflatus solace without the level 52 quest but are incapable of using it without said quest
Weird design decisions
it's stupid
Just do ya job quests bro
Lilies don't have as much use until 74-76
Most people will hit 52 whm before hitting hw
I sure did
Yeah lower but still better between meetings 😄
All 3 ivalice raids yeah? Then it’s in kugane
Is there a skill to train my chocobo to move faster? I feel sometimes while in some zones I'm faster than other zones
:o
Mount speed from arr-sb is dependent on msq progress
are all roulettes worth doing for leveling? or does only the main scenario one give the fat exp bonus at the end?
Lvling, msq, alli raid are best for exp
Leveling Msq frontline alliance
Why do you think ones called levelling?
How do I get Garuda's tail
what's that
Her what?
Oh :v
Do Garuda extreme
Or buy the glowy
Also it’s hard that drops the weapons
I think its garuda normal hard
oh, is it?
Ex drop acc
ah
TLDR ARR is whack
Verily
Every system pattern we have SB+ is just whack when we see ARR system lol
The glowy version is called Heart of the vortex
Say is there a way to make the HUD Layout display dummy icons for all the freaking Enfeeblements and Enhancement Bars?
wdym?
Specifically the main scenario 8 man "dungeons"
Just as leveling roulette is specifically "leveling dungeons"
frontline is interesting tho, gonna try that
do i need to have some knowledge prior? never bothered with pvp
Nope
GaiA, I would suggest visiting Wolves' Den.
You will have different skills in your hotbars, some even have different effects!
Best go to wolf's den to set up hotbar
You might want to see what your PvP moves do
But the actual PvP objectives are pretty self explanatory tho
what is the droprate for ARR EX trial mounts?
There's no known drop rate for anything
People say 20 ish%
Hi everyone, one of my best friend's birthday is coming in a month.
I'm planning to have 2 of my friends to level their bard so we can make some mini performance of couple of OSTs (Insatiable, High Treason & Footfalls)
If you know anyone who has had performances before, could you recommend me a good setup or how to approach this jam session?
Two of us have piano/guitar experience, and the last guy loves osu!
What instruments would be nice? 1 harmony, 1 bass, 1 bongodrum was what I had in mind
But you can get it in like 30mins with how fast they are
Yknow what an anecdote is?
for black mage levelling in end walker, what skills do you not need on your hotbars?
Pretty sure I do
You need everything
Except like scathe
ahh ok even fire and blizzard 1?
Bliz 1 drops off when you get bliz 4
Blizzard 1, not really but keep it for when you're synced down
Fire 1 you keep
Even at 90 as it becomes paradox
!action paradox
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 500.
Astral Fire Bonus: Refreshes the duration of Astral Fire and 40% chance to grant Firestarter
Duration: 15s
Firestarter Effect: Next Fire III will require no time to cast and cost no MP
Duration: 30s
Umbral Ice Bonus: Spell is cast immediately, requires no MP to cast, and refreshes the duration of Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Paradox.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
Do we have any idea whatsoever when Squeenix will mark Aether as uncongested again?
Don't expect it until 6.1 minimum
It's also reliant on y'all motherfuckers leaving aether, or new hardware. Whichever comes first
I've got friends on other DC's that hopped on this tuesday and I really just want to use my main character to help them out
Because alts are agonizing
and don't have cars
Server expansion isnt happening before summer
Strongly doubt its gonna not be congested before then
Too many simps stalking strummers
do any vendors sell cheap dye or is it all from the market place?
A couple are sold from npcs
Check the market areas in the main cities, there is one trader with dyes
If their price is <100 gil and doesn't say restricted its from normal npcs

and is there a way to try one a whole set vs just one piece?
Hey how can you get that redder axe in PotD?
60/60 aetherpool
For use outside of Potd, you need to make 9 aether grips
60 armor and weapon?
Yes
Yup
thanks
can you preview dye colors?
Not on furniture, otherwise yes
Right click dye on gear
!faq dyeicons
Gear has to be dyable
oh thats why, i don't have any dyeable gear lol
does un dyeable become dyeable after glaming?
No
You can make some gear dyeable through augmentation, only certain ones
is there a way to sort marketplace by price?
like if i wanna see which are the cheapest amongst all dyes or all foods
Eggs are 3 Gil
what is GP? mutton stew says GP +6%
Gathering points
are there any foods hat give more than 3% xp?
Nope
So for lvling you typically buy a stack of eggs or raisins for 5 gil each to keep the exp buff going
got it thanks
guys I meed some answers if anyone can explain so last year december I bought the Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker version for $50 dollars right and I was pre stocked but then I realized that boom I needed the standard version in order to play the whole game and now I bought the Final Fantasy XIV starter edition and I got to play which is pre stocked since apparently I have all dlcs cause I bought Endwalker for $50 but it said some 30 day trial thing what does that mean
you guys are the experts this is my second day chilling in Ul dah so please help me out if you can about this cause someone said I have to buy a subscription cause I play on ps4 idk if its the game subscription or its like the ps plus subscription 😂
you have 30 days before having to pay a sub
oh okay thanks and someone told me I have all the dlcs since I bought Endwalker
Can see how long you have left and buy a sub there
back on december 2021
You do
yes
!faq subprice
13 usd
oh okay 👌
Kupo slow 
is there gonna be like a warning when my trial is done and do I have to pay it on like a square enix website with my account logged in to buy it
You don't need standard unless you're planning on making a lot of characters, or several ones in 1 world
do you guys know the single target and aoe rotation for end walker blm levelling?
post 82
!faq blmleveling
thank you
weird detail I just caught in that faq: why spam b2 in aoe until lvl 19 when f2 unlocks at 18? Do you need the lvl 20 trait for f2 to be worth it?
can 2 ppl do CLL
oh okay we both don't have that stuff
i think its more the extra umbral ice reduces successive b2 dmg with aspect mastery II. But also makes f2 better with the extra astral fire. (new blm so not 100% sure thats right)
actually no, that does seem weird
cause they're both long casts 🤔
It should be 19 🤔
or even 18
!action fire ii
Deals fire damage with a potency of 100 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III and removes Umbral Ice Duration: 15s
Astral Fire Bonus: Grants Enhanced Flare
Effect is canceled if Astral Fire ends.
2 stacks umbral ice gives 0.8x dmg multiplier for b2, 2 stacks astral fire gives 1.6x dmg multiplier for f2. thats with aspect mastery II at lv 20. I assume the perk pushes f2 ahead
Multiple stacks of Umbral Ice do not reduce damage, they only increase MP regen speed.
Correct.
And that's more because fire increases fire damage, and when you lose AF you lose that damage boost as well.
Is the damage loss from using f2 to switch that bad that it offsets any gain from using it with the 1.4x?
It shouldn't be, afaik, isn't it only like a 10 pot loss with 1 umbral ice?
It's more that, with only AF1, Fire 2 is such a massive MP drain that you get more worth out of Blizz 2.
But also I feel like I should point out that this is not only a very low-level situation and not really worth optimising, but it only exists for about two levels so ultimately does not matter whatsoever.
Yeah, it just feels weird
The difference between only B2 and using some F2 probably doesn't matter a whole lot in Sastasha
Actually, it's tam-tara 
Oh right, that syncs to 19
it's only like 15%, tho yeah
low level so whatever
b2 is easier to spam as well
You'll get to 20 in such short order that you'll immediately forget it was ever a thing
and then Tam-Tara is so meh that your tank will probably kill the mobs from AoE anyway, so just walk behind him and toss out blizzards and be glad that it's no longer centered on you
which was the dumbest idea
and I'm glad EW changed it
Like, PBAoE mage is a thing in other games, but ... I literally have no idea why B2 was written that way lol
I was reading the chart wrong. thx for clearing up
o7
Give BLM Lightning Warp
!action between the lines
is there a dyable ver of the Ktiseos set
already have it
nope
rip
Shh
there's a recolor in Heroes' Gauntlet
who do i talk to to do the quest for garuda hard
!quest A Recurring problem
Minfilia has need of your talents for a reemerging primal problem.
Minfilia
The Waking Sands (X: 6.91 Y: 6.14)

Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It
i already finished ifrit hard
Look at the main scenario tracker and click the quest under it
i see it now ty
Exactly when do I need to finish my role quests to continue the ShB MSQ?
By the time you get to the last zone, ideally.
The last lv79 quest
last level 79, thanks!
Light of inspiration
Sorry, if I dont have role quests done, I cant do that one, or its the last one I can do?
You can't do it
You can't complete it
The role quests give you a virtual item that you can't complete the MSQ without.
virtual item?
Plot device
they each give good story too
It's not an item that goes into your inventory or key items.
alrighty then xD
It just exists in your game code like a key.
I've done the phys and healer ones
Im like, isnt everything a virtual item? xP
is there a way to find groups doing extreme trails? cause it takes eons to get a group
which ones
Party finder
niddhogg's rage and the jade stoa
are you planning on doing them synced
Unless you're godly lucky
so whats this door for in the limsa inn
Lala door?
I have a question about the endwalker raids. Do you need to have a raid party already made or can you go in with random people
Normal mode is always duty finderable
you'd be hard-pressed to find a random savage queue
Only extremes and up content use party finder
you can do savage in duty finder but I suggest finding a static
unless you find a good PF group, savage can be boring as fuck in PF
So I’ve been trying to get the outfoxed fate. I’ve done the other two needed but it still doesn’t appear
stupid question inc but did i leave the PvP duty too early? everyone was "gg-ing" in chat and the scoreboard popped up, then i just left (had to confirm to abandon duty)
reason im asking is cuz i got 100k exp which is quite shitty
also i dont see the "rewards claimed" tag on the duty
If you quit, you wouldn't have gotten any xp at all
huh ok
how is that good exp then?! heard many times that pvp duties are very good exp
Check the chat tabs for any messages about XP
The Frontline roulette is good xp
frontlines roulette itself is good exp, if you're queueing specifically for frontline how much exp you get is based on win/loss
so if your team came in last the exp isn't that great
wait is dex literally just for NIN?
no
phys ranged
physical ranged as well
dex is for nin and ranged phys
hmm we won though
anything above the 92k?
Str is specifically for everything but Rogue/Nin and Healer
and caster
according to the tooltips
and phys ranged
Casters use int
healers use mind
phys range + ninja use dex
tanks + melee use str
It looks like you did just frontlines on its own, not the roulette
did you queue for FRONTLINE or frontline ROULETTE?
Above the poetics
this
queue for the top one
omfg
hahahah i see okay. ty
also since monk single target combo has 6 different buttons for 123 combo, when do you aoe combo? at 2 or 3 mobs?
100/110
120
130
290 > 270 > 280
3
How come in classes its not giving me a rouge option?
I wanna be a ninja eventually :[
u gotta be 10 or something
Oh gotcha
You need to get to lv10 first
You can't start as it
And do the class quests ofc to allow swapping jobs
Since you can switch, what does your starting class determine? Nothing?
Starting city
What city you start

How come sometimes emotes show in chat window but most the time they don't?
There’s a setting in the emote menu
was 30 the lvl to get the free game time ?
so i have my own shut off and others visible? I'll take a look. ty (i thought maybe there was a different version of /em command)
It’s a personal check box
Is it safe to just discard all old relic weapons (particularly Anima and Resistance) and still have access to the replica ones in case I want them for glam in the future?
If you completed them
is ilvl always better?
And/or traded the ARR ones in
Yeah that's the case. Thanks!
Basically yes
More item lvl = more stats
No
Hello, I am a bit unfamiliar with the monetization model this game does and I quite fairly don't understand it. If you pay the subscription do you get all the content or do you need to buy the complete edition and pay subscription or am I completely wrong on both guesses?
How long does it take for the elder to spawn for foxy lady? My party and I are waiting
is there a site that tells you what gear an npc is wearing
Garlandtools
due to how BRD's 12 combo is RNG, do you aoe at 2 targets then?
compared to the usual 3
there any Monk weapons that look like Protoss Psi Blades?
That might be a better question for #glamour-discussion .
oh nice, my bad
Nah, it's just that this is a more generalized help channel and glamour channel knows way more than we might 😄
what does the down arrow mean next to the quest
the quest level is synched
It syncs to the job that picks it up
So I need some FC (or some social) advice. How do I go about building up my FC, that’s not just inviting random players, and finding a group to play/interact with?
Which is why beast tribes are good exp
o
pretty much just make friends as you play 🤔
So uh, role quests have been introduced to me, and the NPC that starts my set of role quests doesnt show the first quest...
SHB or EW?
what's your current msq?
🤔 huh
!faq rolequest
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
yup
70: Hollow Pursuits: Cerigg, The Crystarium, x11.2, y15.3
Cerigg is the NPC you're looking for
screenshot?
some others do but they are red and locked (obviously)
As a BLM?
sec
oh, in that case
72: A Voice from the Void: Cerigg, Amh Araeng x25.8, y16.5
go there
and see
You might've completed it 🤔
and just forgot
Oh maybe Im dumb? hmm
Yea and check your journal in case you grabbed it earlier
how do i check my ticket on Square enix site?
So just strike up conversations and hope for the best? Guess it could be that simple lol.
Anyone know what would be the best world to join on the oce server? perhaps the most populated one?
Any, and there's no statistics for world populations so only SE knows
aight thanks!
Plus world visit is a thing so it doesn't matter
Am I the only one? or does monk just feel bad... to play in EW? like genuine question yes it does nice dmg but it just feels bad...
I've liked it significantly more than other iterations....just need to learn PB windows and timings
don't get me wrong monk was never "fun" to play unless you practive in masochism but this just feels like garbage
I just miss having my ogcd
It's just another gcd heavy job like reaper
it rn boils down to at least lvl 80, 1-2-3 combo to get your 2 buffs and dot up, then do 1-2-3 until you need to reaply the prior and repeat
i think a few people really like the new monk, so it might be a YMMV thing
well I don't like reaper either... so there may be a pattern
i dont enjoy it as much i think for me its the uptime on twin fangs should be 20 secs but lvled it to 90 an now its benched
Both of them are gcd heavy jobs where if you mess up 1 gcd your parse is down 20%
o.O
Exaggerated but point stands
I think the reasaon why reaper is more fun for me altough still not being as fun is because of waht you said BUT monk has grease lightning so you need to not mess up while having to hit buttons faster then usual
It's just a rhythm you eventually get into when it comes to gcd based jobs
in what regard do you think it feels bad
because, like, it's fine not liking it
It's okay... like a 4/10 it's just that I liked old monk allot more and because they changed old monk which is one of the jobs I used to play the most I'm kinda just sad, that my old job is gone
yeah that's a fair perspective but i'm not sure how it would feel bad or significantly different from old monk gcd timeline
but IDK it might not even be a monk thing, I used to main dragoon, it's at 80 rn have not touched it since shb, melee dps are just eh... for me can't explain
fair
least your not locked in to just one job
MNK’s new thing is using Perfect Balance as if they were SAM stickers or NIN mudras. It takes some getting used to but all of their damage now comes from using Perfect Balance and the new Blitz mechanic.
does anyone play on a mac?
ye something IM very greatful for when it comes to this game
i've got an issue with my music and sound stuttering
honsetly I think what makes it so jarring for me to play is the fact of how long is the cd of all my old ogcd are way longer now since they are tied to perfect balance
But I understand the feeling. I stopped playing MCH a long time ago when they took away its cast times. Good news is there’s always new jobs to play.
had that on windows, can't help on mac im afraid since I had to uninstall something windows installed in an update to fix and it's probably differnet on mac, but if you have done a system update lately usually those fuck up sound for me idk why so might as well check
I just started playing
for me it's been rdm and pld, actually got me trying savage just because I like the jobs allot and want to try harder content with them

personally i had an issue because of accidentally forgetting to disable spatial audio
equalizer was also changed
check to make sure your settings aren't weird
scholar and summoner levels are tied correct?
Correct
hypothetically if I boost scholar, do I get a summoner boost for free?
Technically
You'll still need to do the job quests and everything for summoner
And gear it
You’ll have to unlock it still, if you haven’t already, and you’ll need to get gear but yes you sort of do
I'm not planning to, just wondering
yeah you get the levels but everything else you have to do
was curious is all
which is relatively minor
Anyone know when they are going to allow new characters on the adamantoise server I have a friend who bought it and would like him to join me
so i'm reading that the different grand companies give different looking rewards. Where can I see what they give?
!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.
I have a quest where she wants me to dance in front of her, and i dont know how to dance
im on pc
type /dance
or whatever the command the quest is asking you to do
the quest description always tells you the command they want you to run
same gear, one is red one is yellow one is black
pretty much boils down to that
tysm!!!!



god bless taht
