your internet speed usually has very little to do with MMORPGs
FFXIV doesn't inherently use that much data or require fast internet
the biggest pain will be the download of the initial game
i heard whm is really bad endgame is that true
no
whm has its fair share of problems but they aren't "bad"
no class is really bad endgame
they said its healing is to weak for savage
It’s a pure healer
whoever told you that is an idiot
All it does is heal
well i was told that here
my statement stands
lemme find it
Imagine listening to people on the internet lol
WHM's primary concerns are MP issues when optimizing, especially with low piety sets
^
because they changed thin air
but those can be overcome with practice and understanding of the job
and not having to rez a lot
which is not at all a problem if you aren't optimizing or are using a standard piety set
I’ve healed P1S as WHM in unoptimized gear. It was fine
i would say healing in savage is a 2 men job, it's not such a one dimensional answer imo
another WHM concern is that lilies are sadge to use
Lilies are now a sometimes food
because misery ends up being a DPS loss now
Well seeing as I have to buy the game for the free trail I'll just buy the starter edition and give it a try
i like it cause its easy
No more blood for the blood lily spam
I'll have thirty days to try it
be careful with this
buying the starter edition restricts you from free trial permanently
unless you make a new account
the free trial is not buying the game
Free trial ≠ buying the game
this tbh
Honestly I’d wait until free trial downloads are available again
it's right there in the name: free
Free trial isn't free if you have to buy something
well the important thing is
i bought game early before finshing tree trail
buying the starter edition means that when your sub runs out, you cannot log in to the game anymore
here I am 1800+ hours later loving every minute
it makes me feel dumb
the free trial lets you log in regardless of sub or not
except when I get people who die to the first mechanic in p1s reclears but we don't talk about that
i thought I read something before where free trial players can't log in if there's a queue though
i'm unsure if that's true
a big queue
theres not been a big enough queue in like weeks for them to be unable to log inj
if the queue is like 100+ people it won't let free trial players in
outside of like, reset on patch day
but the odds of that happening anywhere are slim except for, as you said, patch/reset day
at least, for right now
aether hasn't seen a 100+ queue in a while
I think the highest queue I've seen in three weeks has been 50
and I guess people who already had a free trial are fine
it's just new free trials who are screwed right now
What's the difference between digital collecters editions and regular editions of the expansions?
u get goodies with the collectors editions
usually like a minion, mount and a weapon skin
It also costs $20 extra
are there still physical collectors editions out there?
afaik sqex only sells digital in mogstation
Yes
But they only do one production run before an expaclaunch
And they sell out FAST

If you get married on a server can you transfer later to a different one?
oh yeah I remember EW's now
where to i spend tombstones
if you wanted to see what was included with the physical collector's edition
here you go
Which ones
petic
!faq poetics
By my understanding, yes. The ring obviously won't work anymore if you move to a different DC and the other person doesn't come with you. If you both transfer to the same world, it will continue to work.
can confirm, had two friends who were married to each other transfer to my world and it works fine
i was just trying to complete a housing quest, entered into one and now oops the game won't get past world entry before crashing
Oh cool! Thanks my husband got me into playing it when they opened it back up for new players and our friends are on behemoth but with the congestion….
Housing zones in oce are down to make it fairer to get a house iirc
Idk if that's been changed
i'm not on oce
I usually do it by right clicking myself in the party list. But I think you can also do it from the Social window
i ended up finding it in party members, ty
- Check for drivers updates and optional OS updates
- Reinstall ffxiv
- Contact support
In that order
Tyty, already checked my drivers and am now reinstalling
Thank you!
What does it mean when you pick a reward there’s a red dot in the right corner
Is there a perequisite? I don't see it.
Just level 35
does FF work with xbox series x controller? Im asking cause I seen a lot of posts on official forums from people unable to make it work via bluetooth. if anyone is using that specific controller I would apreciate any confirmation on the matter! ❤️
Best of luck to you, hope it works out 
!faq dyeicons
Thank you!
It didn't show on the map until I walked into the steps of nald. Thanks game.
That’s how quests work
Which gathering jobs are needed for weaver? I knew it needed botanist but I'm seeing a lot of leatherworker and miner stuff so idk whether you need a lot of them and its worth levelling them
You have to be on the map to see available quests there
my mistake
all crafters are intertangled to a degree
hey everyone is Aether locked by dev or just too crowed for just now
its congested
Locked for the long term by the devs
is there anything of note that you should spend poetics on atm for 90 people?
poetics arent for current content
What materia for warrior?
beside relic mats for old weapons and rings for seals no
ah ok ty
ok thanks, if i want to play with my friends in Aether, i have to choose one of the home worlds there right? i cant play with them if i do it on other data center
Thanks dude
@cerulean bane correct, which you cant do because aether is congested
so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
😩
must be kidding, since it just resume the sale like 3 days ago after like a month of wait lo
Cross datacenter travel is coming eventually, hopefully for 6.1. They might also lift the Congested status then.
6.1x
Nooo stop, everyone is going to DC hop to buy stuff on cheaper servers
any Discord focused on treasure maps? finding groups etc

your DC may or may not have its own treasure hunt server
Aether has one, but idk about Chaos
if you cant a group an really need to do them try solo as a war
theres very little need for a world specific one when most is datacenterwide
yeah i'm doing that
yes

I know this might be frowned upon but is there a way to not get kicked for afk 😦 I go grab dinner and I come back get kicked and big q again
no
whats preventing me from getting the full ciompany seakl reward
no
most likely the cap
You're probably at cap or close to it. You have a limit to how many seals you can hold.
you can only hold a specific amount of seals depending on your GC rank
but i've gotten that message multiple times
maybe you've been at the cap for a while?
maybe
Check your currency window to see how many you have and what your limit is
just spend em or rank up, you can buy , GC glams , rank up , items that sell for 350 gil a piece , a lucky box , spirit bond pots , ventures
how do i rank up
GC hunting log , then squads
or ask for a promotion they say oh you did this or you need this
Do I need to be any specific class in order to progress to Gunbreaker? Or does it not matter?
it doesn't matter.
doesnt matter
lvl 60 any combat job own shb you can be gunbreaker ez
Personnel officer to promote
how do i disable this list of skills showing that ive used?
I am trying to HQ craft classical gear without any HQ mats.
Using HQ Tsai, this is the best quality I can get. I can't seem to make a rotation any better than this:
maybe add a cunning craftsmen drought
I've tried to make one better, but they always end up less quality than that
I don't want to drought
Trying to avoid that
then err pray to rngseus or penta meld while also praying to jebus
i dont remember does the good crafted gear beat out the astronomy gear
Did you look at the image...?
Look at those stats, I'm already pentamelded lol
a glance
only thing i can think of speclist for gsm
Hey, is eureka still worth doing? If yes what exactly can drop there
do you like shiny sick looking armor if yes do it
You get a shiny weapon, some shiny gear, glamour, and the sphere boss from mcach
as a mount
and the story is quite good!
hard no its just a grind
Any recommendations for a good guide for it?
Like a specific YouTuber
im sadly no expert on it or that knowledgeable about
Just look up the specific map you’re on
I mean I haven't started doing it
There’s 4 zones in total
Well duh
Here's an overview of Eureka's various systems https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Forbidden_Land
Ty
!quest and we shall call it eureka
That's helpful, ty
any quests with krile is good
Do weekly challenges, join fates but not on a level that is much higher than you, kill mobs that are 2 levels higher than you with potion of harmony. I think those are the fastest ways to level
And use this for a map / tracker https://ffxiv-eureka.com/
FFXIV Eureka NM pop time tracker
Is anyone here familiar with Game Time Card's and how that works? I know they're region locked and I'm from Australia, so would that fall under europe since that was the only option at the time
Basically would someone need to buy the europe card in order for it to work for me?
You should be able to just buy off Amazon
I am learning gardening for my clan (No-one else wants to do it):
Can crops that are ready for harvest sit there indefinitely? Do they require daily watering like the rest?
would it need to be EU and not NA?
is it better to own ffxiv on the square enix or steam client? or is there like no difference
doesnt matter
It would need to be for whatever region your mogstation account is registered to
ah alright, thank you !
Steam has the benefit of using Steam Wallet to pay for sub, but it locks you in to requiring you to buy future expansions through Steam only.
how do I get to bozja again lol
gangos
Doman enclave -> Gangos
go to doman enclave and go to aetheryte and then go to gangos
!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.

.. does this happen to be related to bonuses on gathering?
That has nothing to do with gathering
nice nice for a second i thought it had something to do with the lvl 90 skill that never procs for me
Question: my phone broke that had my square Enix code generator. How do I remove it and add another phone
You need to use the emergency backup code that the site gave you when you enabled one time password.
It will let you login so you can disable OTP and re-enable it with another device. If you don't have the backup code, you'll have to contact support.
Oh man I forgot wheee I put that
can I re-generate that backup anytime?
If you can login to mogstation you can still find the code on the OTP page.
when are the free trials supposed to reopen
SE hasn't said yet.
Is there a name for the “On song of hopes she dances on the wind” part now?
I kinda noticed it’s not really a full song, more like a motif
Similar to makers ruin
I was wondering, at what level is it possible for me to start farming for the nightmare mounts?
I'm new and currently my most leveled job is a 55 dragoon
if you were a flex role, is there a way to set up party finder so that the 7 other people can join perfecly without any issues? i've been thinking about this for like 10 mins
It's possible, but you'd need a full party at that level. Versus Level 80 when you can take down any ARR primal in 2 minutes or less.
Footfalls
saw someone put it up in a way that allowed 3 healers, and i knew that was wrong, but i didn't know the correct way
If you're melee or healer, you can set the last slot as all melees and all healers
Uh... so you need 3 DPS, 1 healer, 1 tank... and...
One “healer and tank and DPS” slot, and... uh
im a little confused.
where do you get Radiant Roborant/Twine?
and where do you get discal tomestone?
are all 3 of those from savage pandae?
discal - 7 blades from P4N or get it from P2S
roborant - P3S
twine as well
does people from other worlds auto refresh your FL when they login now?
when you login now
Gotcha, I'll do that, thanks a lot!
Yeah, except discal is also 7 weeks of p4n
is it impossible?
hmmmm okay i appreciate it
yeah, I'll level my drg to 80 first then farm for it then, thanks a lot :)
Yeah, probably, since the last slot depends on what the person before it joined as
It's possible
When you hit the world refresh button on your friendslist
there isnt afaik
its only in footfalls
just that 1 person
Yeah, I guess currently it’s just known as “That part of Footfalls” or “Song of hopes”
it tells you
are they on your friends list
yes
are they on your world currently
no
thats probably why
unfriended 
that too
Check your friends list again as well, because that "and" doesn't mean "or". It means "and".
they aren't removed from your friends list if they remove you from theirs
^
but if they're world visiting it breaks I'm fairly sure
I guess they unfriended
that's very vague
thanks
gathering nodes? need folklore books
you mean folklore books?
you get them from any scrip vendor
have to unlock scrips for that given expansion(rhalgr's reach for 70)
is there a scrip vendor in kugane?
it's in rhalgr's i think
k
theirs one at the ruby sea
what levels the quest to go to the other home towns?
might as well go to rhalgr because if you didn't see the books, you haven't done the unlock quest there
14-15, MSQ lvl
it's not that bad
takes like an hour if that
it is with no mount :l
you can also technically go from uldah to grid and vice versa
Sprint, attune, taxis
only limsa is locked until MSQ
limsa is where im trying to get to.
rip
yeah then you have to keep doing the MSQ for a little while
and once i can fly there i will be able to unlock fishing straight away right?
technically you need to do your lvl 10 class quest
ffs
this allows you to change classes, after that yeah everything is available
might aswell gind fates to 30 then :l
not sure how that'd help, you'd still need to do MSQ
and you'd need to do your class quest to change classes
would uninstalling the game delete any screenshots i have in the game screenshot files
this never changes
I'd say no, but just back them up somewhere else
aight ty my friends files got corrupted and her whole ss folder got nuked for some reason
anyone got some tips for the level 52 whm quest
don't remember what the quest is, but likely, just heal NPCs or Esuna debuffs
i'm stuck on the part where ||you fight the sprite||
that's usually the only thing that makes healer quests "hard"
the problem os the boss has a fuck ton of hp and calls reinforcements nonstop
you can check youtube for videos of ppl clearing it to see if you're missing something
the second one of the guards die your fucked
Well uh, don’t let them die
you are using cure 2 right?
yes
That’s why you’re a healer
gheal the guards?
👀
Regen them nerds
oh you didn't heal the guard? lol
I thought you can't outheal the guard cause you are using cure 1
Can you get gear/weapon for Reaper through eureka?
i tried that but he still died
Heal harder
looking at a video quickly, yeah it's just healing
Weapon no
you wouldn't want to either way
you do realize the npcs do like 2 damage
armor is the same with DRG i reckon
poetics get you better gear at that level
you just have to kill the sprite, not the other stuff
I just want the shiny stuff
dot/stone the sprite, heal the NPCs so they tank the rest of the crap for you
Heal the NPCs and let them keep aggro on adds
yeah i tried focusing down the sprite
Focus your damage on sprite
regen/cure II on NPCs as needed
What gear are you in?
Also make sure gear is up to date so you're not healing for fuck nothing
quest accesories and ironwork armor
i'm i115
That's the most important part
i90 i think
Get ironworks weapon
Shit weapon
Always first purchase
i bought the armor first
This gear or glam rather is from there i am pretty sure right?
But that gear should still be sufficient
always buy weap first
time to go grind poetcs
weapon -> acessories
Weapons are drastically important
armor, can use artifact armor usually
Just try again
Elemental gear yes
Can put the duty on easy mode
doesn't that give like no exp
Do you have to be far to get stuff like that, i guess you do
They don’t give exp in the first place…
oh easy mode it is then
no point in using a harder mode when the rewards are the same
kinda, you have to progress the relic weapon to Pyros start and progress to Hydatos for the shiny armor
so it is a fairly substantial time investment
as long as you do the weekly challenge log, you'll get there
the challenge log won't progress your relic though, you still need to farm anemos crystals/pagos crystals+light
So just killing a ton of shit basically
the for lost action, just buy from marketboard
Probably expensive no?
but definitely do your challenge log every week it'll save you some grinding on levels and make the rest easier
yeah it is
I think it should be cheap?
do technical questions about ffxiv go here
ah nvm the logograms are somewhat expensive now
people are doing current content yeah
used to be pretty cheap in shb but guess people aren't back to farming eureka yet
How many weekly hunts can you do ?
one a week? one per expansion if that's what you mean
Ah so 4 ?
well 5 cause ARR has one too
I am just going around experimenting. I skipped to get reaper since it is the class that i wanted to play since it released so i am just trying different stuff
for those who have been playing a long time, is there a pattern on when they release glamour versions of EX weapons with VFX, timeline wise.
ARR gives allied seals, HW/SB give centurio, ShB/EW give nuts
Ahh gotcha thanks bud
absolutely random
Not at all, it’s all over the place
as in they don't even release them in order
it's just Susano for StB and below I think?
Meanwhile 5.0 trial was instant
Came out very next patch
So yeah no rhyme or reason to it.
I just want a better looking scythe.
yeah just wait
they also go several patches without any so yeah can't predict it at all, just happens when it happens, basically I assume the team doing items do them in their spare time, so sometimes they have time to make them and sometimes not
class is new, lol
then again, haven't really been playing RPR lately at all, so there's that
Is ||Hades|| the only glowy weapon for ShB as of now?
yes
Yikes
and yeah new classes always are lacking, they will release the new relic stuff in... 6.25? we don't know for sure but sometimes around that, maybe 6.15
right yeah, although that involves clearing ultimate
I have 887 company seals why cant I get a chocobo ?
Do you have the quest My Little Chocobo active
yes
is there a lv 60 blue scrip gatherer equip?
oh thank you so much ❤️
The job specific sets
where do you get it
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Unlocking Radz-at-Han's House of Splendors (Radz-at-Han x11, y9)
thanks
They’re bought with white scrips now
Complete the 2nd quest and all scrip exchanges should have them
What's everyone spending their aphorism on these days?
Gear for alt jobs 
Could anyone tell me if someone pming to degrade someones gameplay and commenting on their dps is enough to warrant a penalty on them? Just got a very pleasant reaper :^) /s
excess crafted materials to then sell on market board
mats used for 580 gear
yes, commenting on bad dps (log/parse performance) is 100% something GM's will take action on
it is enough to warrant a penalty on them, as if they're in a position to know your DPS via parsing and they're using it to degrade another individual it's not allowed
it's technically not allowed at all but the thing is "just don't talk about it and you're good"
Thank you both very much~ that's reassuring to hear
Is it possible to set up an unsynched alliance raid?
Yee
same way you unsync anything
You need 3 people
Still need 3 people minimum tho
But also mechanics exist
that being said, if they're criticizing your gameplay, are they right?
lol
it's not ok for people to harass others based on low DPS, but you should also try to do good damage regardless
does anyone know when are we gonna be able to buy the shb extreme weapons on market board?
how long did it take the sb ones to come out during shb?
There's no pattern
there's not a time pattern to them
F
Susanoo is still.missing his
how do i stop bad rng in treasure dungeons , stupid atmos
Hades is the only shb crafted
No Titania, no weapons no sos etc etc
It could be sometime before 7.0 it also very well could be in 5 years we just we just don't know

"This service cannot be used within three days of your last Home World Transfer."
Does anyone know if that's 3 full days (say if I did it 5pm on Wednesday, that means 5pm Saturday), or do I have to wait till like Sat-Sun reset to do it?
can i ask for people to help me with the mounts on extreme trails here?
use #recruitment-yourDC
PF
I think 72 hours
hi, how many people do i need for Tsukuyomi EX unsync for the mount farm?
oh really?
tank, healer need to know where to drop meteor
okay thank you!
yeah i checked a guide
When do I beat ARR?
just wasn't sure how many with the new echo and all
when the game screams HEAVENSWARD at you
you'll know
Oh okay. Thanks.
there's also base ARR and post ARR
base ARR is right at the level 50 msq
post ARR is a super long series of quests that end by level 51
Oof. Still at lvl 30msq
why oof? its long you get plenty of time to enjoy content better then nothing matters just end game
I understand but I want to play with my friends at their lvl.
understandable but know what makes you better friends? being able to talk about the story your thoughts opinions unless they aint story then meh
But in order to talk to them about the story I need to progress more. And I told them not to spoil the story to me because I want to enjoy it.
this may suprise you but ff14 ppl are one the best ppl about spoilers they will talk about things on your level while thinking you sweet summer child in their mind
!faq GCrank
hmmmmm how do you get to the last rank of GC?
Squadrons
squadrons
Really? I heard good things about the community but didn’t think it was like that. I am staring to love this game more and more. 🙂
when is the next rank up?
40 
Do the lv40 flagged mission
i did? o-o
For captain you need to do 5 command mission then do the 50 flagged mission
a thing that the community like is seeing new reactions because they understand because they had that experience to
you can't ... use BLU right? 😦
No
nope
its great for leveling alts
You don’t even have a reason to use blu, that isn’t optimal for leveling it
blus fun for old fates , getting bonus gil /seals for tickets
just do the dungeon with squad thats it they do all the work you just tell em to attack they will do more dmg then players
blu is kill stuff in the open with 1k needles alot , choco meteor then freeze vibe check
what do i do with old gear?
sell it , desyth it for materials ((disenchant)) throw it away , like the look of it put it your glam box at the inn
how i sell it on the marketboard? disenchant i cant do?
or i need a retainer to sell it?
sell to a vendor , gear you have used is bound to you so no selling on market board, for desythseis you will need to be a crafter at 30 , it varies on the type like things a tank would wear would be armor smith , things for casters would weaver because its cloth
mages go squish
and what if i get a retainer?
a retainer can wear your old gear
i am not a lvl 30crafter sow i best try to sell to vendor and the rest i just discard?
pretty much otherwise your inventory is gonna get real cluttered
idd,thank you verry much for info
I am a level 35 Marauder. I have done the level 30 class quest to get the Thrill of Battle skill, but there is no quest that I see to become a warrior. What am I missing?
!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.
ahh I am on sylph management, thank you much
yh since i assume you on a preferred world you are getting more exp then is expected b4 that stage
They’re on crystal, there are no preferred worlds
Sorry I am not on crystal, but there seemed no choice for the new Oceania server
how do i view emotes in chat? I enabled display emote log messages, but it isn't showing in chat. it only shows other people my emotes. If i disable it, no one can see my emotes in chat
Anyone got a good discord for bozjan cluster runs?
Where do I look for ucob groups? Ty
should retainers be the same race and gender as my main so that they can use my old gear?
No
race and gender don't matter if it's gear unless the gear states that it's for a specific race/gender
no they need to be the same job as you for old gear
And only glamour gear can be race/gender restricted
and starting equipment
oh! good to know. I was looking at some glamours and I thought all gear was like that
which is technically glamour gear i guess
Combat equipment is one-size-fits-all
so they should just be the same job but I can pick whatever race or gender
You can be a Lalafell and take off your armour and it will fit your Roegadyn retainer.
yup
if you're a male hrothgar, you can still wear the 2B outfit

can I change my retainers race and gender later?
Please tell me the books are the worst part of ARR relics 🙏
with a fantasia potion for retainers yes
They are
they're pretty cheap on the market
is that the same fantasia potion i use for my main or is it a different item? and do you get any for free?
its different
!item retainer fantasia
they can be brought back by retainers from ventures
The worst part is that you have to redo every step if you want another relic
you can buy them on the marketboard, unlike normal fantasias
It’s not a premium item, you can buy them on the marketboard for like idk 20k
ok so I shouldn't worry about it too much, I can play around with it later
Yeah
whoa wait when did they add the newest tier of GC ranking?
think captain is still the top
Yea no lol. Only doing Gae Bolg line, then HW for the rest of my relics
Captain was added in uhh early SB
guys, quick question. I've just started, should I focus on the main quest (think its called MSQ, right?) or should I do side quests as well?
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
MSQ and the purple ones to unlock stuff, right?
The most important unlock sidequests, including your class quests, appear under MSQ tracker
Yellow sidequests are fluff, not even very good for exp
Do em if you want
Or leave them
do em for triple triad 
i thought they were blue
I believe I watched a video about unlocking glamouring (or something like that) and the guy had to do those purple quests besides them not being needed to progress, right?
whats a fast way to level up my alt paladin class
Yes glamour is unlocked with a 
Many things are
it's in that town with the rising sands
ah its blue lol
hey guys, i previously bought the game on steam in around 2017 and didnt touch it at all, then i removed it from my account a few months ago to play the free trial up to heavensward. When im trying to purchase the complete edition now its saying : Your account already owns a removed copy of the above items, so you can’t purchase them again. You can restore these items via Steam Support, purchase these items as a gift or adjust the contents of your cart to continue. i am scared that i mess something up if i restore the old license, is there any solution to this ?
thanks.
Like it says, think there’s nothing for it but to ask support
https://i.imgur.com/SMN4sqT.png have i reached the highest possible relation with zhloe now?
Yes
Can I play lord of verminion with a friend? If yes how?
You have to add them to your party and then the tables will give you the option to battle against them iirc
hello
retainer can't be higher level than your job's level right?
That specific job, yeah
if you are lv 1 rdm, and youg ive retainer rdm, can he be higher rdm than you?
okay
You can’t be a lvl 1 RDM first of all
you start at 50 so no
well you can be a lvl 1 rdm in potd but no where else
New player/Level 10 archer.
I finished the level 5 archery quest and got a maple shortbow from that, so it seems redundant to claim one from Galfrid on the level 5 MSQ now.
I'm likely to pick up some levels in Conjure later on--does that come with a wand, when you add a new starting class? Or would I be wise to go ahead and snag the maple wand for later?
Can't be level 1 rdm to begin with but even if you could, no
It really doesn't matter
Msq gives tons of gil and early weapons are both super cheap and rapidly replaced
when you unlock a class/job they give you a weapon because to swap classes/jobs you would have to swap the weapon
And if for some reason you discard said weapon, you’ll have to buy another
Ahh. So I'm best off to just take the bronze piece that sells for 100 gil, and worry about conjure items later?
is it just me or is lightspeed free swiftcast for everything except res
totally take the money and run
Lightspeed?
No it's not just you
the ast skill
!action lightspeed
correct, because lightspeed reduces cast time
It's free double weaving for 15s
and ascend is 8s cast
thats why i said except for res
if ascend takes 8s to cast normally, and lightspeed reduces it by 2.5s it still takes 5.5s~ to cast
yes thats why i said except for res
and everything else takes 2.5s or less to cast
can retainers only be base classes or can they be stuff like summoner as well?
they can be jobs too, yes
they need to reach level 30 before you can set them to one, iirc
and is it recommended that all retainers be the same class as my main in order make use of old gear or is there a benefit to diversifying
no real benefit
retainers can only go as high level as you are in the current job so it's best to set it as your main
got it so start them on arcanist first and then summoner at lvl 30 just like main character
that said, don't really need to give them a job
unless you want them to be able to wear artifact gear
you dont need to give them a job to send them out on ventures
They can do ventures as classes
having ppl get you free shit a waste of time? yep totally a waste 
will MSQ take you to 90?

Is the music and video misc channel a safe place to advertise twitch channels? Probably should have posted this elsewhere maybe. 
Yes, but around every expansions level cap the exp will slow down while you play though the patches
So at the end of ARR there's a bunch of level 50 content, at the end of HW there's a bunch of level 60 content etc etc.
Sure will do
u 2
Small question, when does the New World status for the Oceania DC expected to disappear? :o
where can i get snow white dye
Ixal vendor, make it yourself, mb
not for a while
It’s the only channel you’re allowed to self-promote your twitch in
Hello everyone
like a long long while? :o
mmm 6.1 at the earliest
but depending on how much it fills it might maintain it even then
6.1 is 2? 3? months away, something like that
ah.. that's good to know, thankies o/
Thank you ^_^
Me Tommorw buying games I don't know edition recommend for me
What
guys how can i get some gears when i unlock new jobs
Nice
Buy from NPCs or earn yourself by crafting or running dungeons
for example who
They’re nice for self-repairing gear, but isn’t necessary
The merchants in the market areas of the 3 starting cities have gear from 1-50 for all classes
Then buy Scaevan equipment in Rhalgr’s Reach or Kugane
ic
Well you can make your own gear, but it generally isn’t best in slot stuff
so i dont have to level em
There’s also combat supplies like potions and food
thank god
is there same sex marriage in ffxiv?
Yes
ty
hi guys quick question is changing the origin world of my character is free?
ok thx
anyone know what version kupobot is currently? Does partyfinder still require the role?
do I need to finish msq before getting lv90 artifact gear?
one of the 89 MSQ literally takes you to the npc that gives you the gear
Hello, I bought a costume item with real money and I’ve just glamoured it over an armour piece, is there anyway to make it so it’ll always be the costume even when I change the armour?
I’m a low level so I’m changing armour often
toss the set into the glamour dresser at any inn room and make a glamour plate
Store that costume in your armoire and create a glamour plate
yes, make glamour plate and then link it to a gear set list (right click on gear set list)
then use the plate to apply the glamour to your gear, though need to keep in mind that plates can only be applied in major cities and certain safe zones, like housing districts
Hi where can I buy lvl 81 gathering gear? or do I have to craft it?
So right now I’m a WHM but I also want to try out to become a lancer. If a became a lancer would my WHM be deleted or something?
someone reminds me how Road to 80 works again, does it expire once a class reaches to 80 or not? Is it based on hours passed?
No, it'll stay the same level
Cool.
can buy armour the junkmongers in labyrinthos/garlemald/thavnair or y'sohnjin in old sharlayan
Could also just get 80 scrips gear, if that exists
it "disappears" when you hit 80 on that job but re-enables when you switch to a job that is below 80. you have 90 days with road to 80, or longer if the server remains new/preferred for longer
ahh thank you!
thanks!
its how you can play every job on one char

So I was given a .char file, I thought I was supposed to put it in "documents, my games, FFXIV" but the character files there were ".dat" files
once I hit 80 on one job, how quick is it to hit 80 on another job? is it quicker?
As in I wanna use that file to load a character preset in character creation
That would be the FFXIV_CHARA_##.dat files. I don't know why you'd be given a .char file though.
for anamnesis.
I renamed the chara file as that in an open slot and changed the .chara to .dat manually but it didn't work. Does that mean a .chara file is useless ?
If I buy the starter edition how do I purchase the remaining dlc later on
Buying Endwalker will give you the rest of the expansions
Quicker thanks to the 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.
does the armoury xp stack with road to 80?
Yes
Should I just be doing main story quests to level?
For your first job, pretty much
Do I just roll with the gear from the rewards of said quests or is there something that I can do later to get better gear?
Might need to roulette during the “ARR level gap”, but that won’t take long
I have no idea what that is LMAO sorry
Buying Poetics gear is a thing at lvl caps, but the game will give enough gear to progress
Okay, thank you!
Is there something I'm missing here or are the devs stupid?
Lvl
whats ur war's level
thats why
thats why
it defaults to whatever level that job is for you
big oof design
so if you haven't unlock war its by default 1
Not really
Why would you get weapons for a job you don’t have leveled
Not trying to get weapons for my jobs. I'm trying to search 580 items to see if some are worth crafting for profit
Then search the set name
aside from change pose emote, is there a button to change poses?
instead of going to emote and click on Cemote
hello i need help with a story dung. its the sohr kai dung, easy just old so no ones in que
How much do quest skips cost?
I feel like the Main Scenario Quest skip is a bit of a quest skip
I meant story skip
given that it is, you know
Type /cpose ?
in the name
can i skip storry dung quest?
Hopefully hw is better than arr
It surely is but If even HW cant hook you, then the game just not for you and its okay
Just wait, your queue time can’t be that bad
It's not uncommon to have fifteen to twenty minute queues for content when you're queueing solo, regardless of what that content is, especially if you're queueing on DPS. And even if no one is queueing that content specifically, the Duty Roulette will fill party slots with people entering the Leveling Roulette.
im at 2 hrs
Also you’re gonna miss the start of some HW plot threads by skipping ARR
I have a ton of fun with the fighty bits it’s just the plot is so boring
Already beat ARR
Nah, you haven’t
im fine with the grind of the story jsut not wait times on old dung no one runs anymore
Ah,. You will enjoy HW i bet
ARR focus on world building thus the story felt boring
Yeah I have I just got to the new city
what do they do
Then why are asking about a story skip? You just started a new expansion
Grinding up Astro before starting
Cause if HW is as painful as ARR was I don’t think I’ll last
Alice I am also a new player to the game....well getting my first max level job soon.
My main problem with ARR is it feels like you need to go on huge detours to get anything done
HW was BY FAR my favorite expansion so far
It was written in like a couple of months, and then the whole series of patch quests is a long journey in making all that nonsense relatable and functional to a continuing story again.
I see ARR as purely character intros
Heavensward onward are fairly engaging.
My experience during ARR i skip a lot of dialogue and cutscene and during HW i barely skip and read each story dialogue
ShB onward i even talk to every npc just to get extra flavor text / chat
Its that good imo
^
I do have a question myself....are there any fan sites like WoW has like icyveins or wowhead to do research on classes/professions?
Not wow player but research as in in depth class optmization?
!faq balance
Yes
Go there
ok
Yeah the balance is the best
Do we still get exp if unrestricted but lvl sync?
Someone in #beginner-lounge wanted to do a dungeon as a 3 man to slowly explore
1st timers ^
Got it
Nonono i forgot about lvl sync lmao
Oh
I think lvl sync enable it back, check the df setting info
I'll just relay the info to them as such. Unsrestricted gives no exp outside first time bonuses. Gotta check for level sync
Each option in the Duty Finder Settings pane explains itself in the pane to its right.
That is where I took this from.
Thanks for ss
Cant open the game to help cause my pc died lmao
Useful info for the future. =)
I think i once use that urestricted snyc to get some BLU spells solo
housing for OCE opens on 6.1 right?
I need lots of tier 1 materia, I'm filling out a spell scroll. I'm F2P, so I can't buy it off another player. What's the fastest way to spiritbind low level gear?
honestly?
put that quest off until you sub
lmao
you'd have to run dungeons and instances with spiritbond pot I guess
I dunno if I will ever sub
I like the game but that's a commitment
also I don't know if I have the cash
all MMOs are commitment
poor college student
fair enough
honestly though
now it's kinda overwhelming that I'd have so much story content to do once I do sub
3 whole expansions
might be 4 after you finish college
I'm trying to remember if some story quests or some shit award low level materia
It most definitely will
Doubt it
I'm reading that PotD exp does not carry to outside? But someone on here said you could solo level by it somehow?
You get real exp by completing a set of floors
But yes, Potd lvl 60 doesn’t mean you’re outside lvl 60
And you have to have a party, same as usual Duty Finder, in which your role is still locked? I was looking for a way to level the three non DPS classes that didn't rquire grouping.
No, any 4 roles can get picked in Potd
so im pretty freaked out atm cause I might have gotten scammed so I logged on and was happy I have all dlcs im playing ARR and still progressing to heavensward but I realised something for some reason when I look at my things I own for FFXIV I only have an avatar (ps4) and I dont see my Endwalker expansion that I bought saying owned
to give you context I bought the FINAL FANTASY XIV ps4 and ps5 upgrade
which cost me $61 after tax
Why do i have to watch the game cutsense everytime i log in?
but couldn’t play it because I need the ARR to play so I needed the base game
3 days ago now I bought the starter edition where now im able to play
You mean the start menu?
But when i look at my store or library on ps4 I dont own the Endwalker upgrade
The story of that dragon wiping out everything
You don’t
The thing is the email I used for my account that im playing the game on my PS4 is not the same email that my PS4 is using because I made one and forgot the password and long story I couldn’t pass the select a question thing
That only happens if you stay on the menu without doing anything
So i feel like thats the reason why I dont own dlcs after heavensward
Aha i afk for 5 sec and i need to watch 5min show
No, the trailers stop if you press something. If you sit through the whole thing, that’s on you
if you guys are on PS4 please help me out because I dont wanna buy the endwalker thing again and waste $61
I just got back to the game after some time unsubbed (PC issues) and am in Shadowbringers now, but I have no idea where to go to get tomestone gear for this expansion. Is there no tomestone collection for this expansion?
Crystarium/Eulmore after beating 5.0
Logon to mogstation, go to Service Account Status, scroll down to the Platform table, and check what it says you own under the Playstation column
I'm guessing "5.0" is after Shadowbringers? If so, where else might I get stronger armor? If you do not mind me asking, of course.
5.0 is base shadowbringers
You know once you beat the very obvious final boss person
Did you just start ShB?
If you need armor before then just like...do the msq

Can i skip main story quest dialoges and still understand the story
Like does giving eggs to someone mean anything or its just few quests like that
I started it yesterday, just beat the 2nd Lightwarden and was looking to see if I could upgrade my gear with tomestones.
If you are not in level cap 50/60/70/80/90) there is no tomestone gear to use. Grind highest lvl dungeon or buy from market
There's the ilvl 400 tomestone gear in rhalgr's reach, but other than that no. You have to wait until you finish 5.0 for the next set
Yeah you should’ve been in scaven by now
Hey if I want to transfer from JP to OCE, what's the best server to go to
Doest matter tbh matchmaking is based on data center so you can play with everybody on OCE
No?
Just do the msq
You’re not getting anything better than scaven until msq 85+
its more about high population on the home server so the major cities feel well populated
how do ask a question about the server to the mods
Ravana obviously but its always locked on peak hour (idk if transfer also locked like char creation)
Ohhhh, okay, I misunderstood then. My bad! Thanks! 🙂
cuz i don't want to bother someone with dms
Fair enough. whats the next best after ravana?
I think sophia is decently populated since people plan to establish it as "balmug" OCE
I heard is sephirot 2nd fav but try to ask in #retired-oce-datacenters too for more reliable info
....
Either tank is fine from my personal experience, and archer/arcanist are the big hitters for DPS
Balmung OCE?
I've not heard of that
Whats the significance of Balmung?
Rp, lots of RP
As for tactics, I give the tanks the damage/hp one, healers the balanced or HP one, and DPS the pure damage
Role play, all kind of it (IYKWIM)
Well, I know where I'm going
For the level 1-15 story, it’s inconsequential and basically serves more as a tutorial of sorts to MMOs
Lmao, have fun and dont forget check limsa or uldah. Usually those 2 usually most populated XD
Aha
So i can skip?
Pretty much yeah
