is it better to craft rebel coat or just buy it from the MB?
If you can procure the mats yourself. Or if the mats cost less than the crafted. Then craft
problem is i dont have any DoH/DoL jobs leveled up, except for botanist
and no gil to buy it from the MB
Or level weaver itโs your choice
Currently tho, for elemental
Buying the mats and crafting isn't that much cheaper anyway
Daily roulettes does give so e
Those don't sell for anything
Gil.wise
Go on. You have a point. I was assuming gear
But they either need to get lucky on the drops or have doh to desyth with high enough desyth levels
1.7mil jackets 
thank you for the info
warrior is a tank with a lot of self heal right?
yes
Can always just buy classical weapon
Can't war solo one of the new raids it has so much self-heal?
So can Pld tbf
The difference is war self heals a metric fuckton for free, pld has moderate self free self healing that can be supplemented at a cost to DPS
War can also heal others for a significant amount for free.. PLD healing of others again, has an associated DPS cost
is there an option to change keybind for *take screenshot? * prtsc button doesn't want to work for me :/
Using the steam version @midnight grotto ?
nope
Then Iโm not sure
ah okay, i'll try to find a way
its a bit of a lengthy workaround, but gshade has its own screenshot button which u can configure so if u want to use shaders anyway
You can weave safely, from my experience
But it might be a bit tight depending on GCD/Ping

hey are we able to transfer to other servers and back yet? or is that still in a few months? will the ping be the same or different? sorry for the 3 questions
Is the hardware key not working? In that case you can write a script to software press it when you press another key.
Apparently materia is showing the culture problems they were fearing
what sort of culture problems? ๐ฎ
i'll do that, thank you i didn't know you could do that ^
check autohotkey, there's a substantial helpbase
Is there a way to "fix" 2002s now ?
If you're still getting 2002s,its probably your connection
I used to be able to log in just fine on that connection...
weird
Ah, no, there was indeed a mistake on my end
hi, question. can I play the same character on both PC and PS5?
I'm trying to change my UI and I cant really find a good guide for it. Does anyone have any good articles on this?
is there a way to know what I'm missing to queue for the mentor roulette that's not comparing every duty I have to a crazy long list on the wiki ? 
It's all subjective what feels and looks good to you but check out #protips-and-ui, you can search for images in the channel and look through those to get some ideas
I've never adjusted UI ever in a game before and all I'm really looking to do is a way to make the boss info seem more visible to me
Because I keep on missing attack names or even when a boss is doing a strong attack
Okay I think I got to that part!
you can split the target bar into individual parts and enlarge them
this is what mine looks like
Yea it was part of the target bar, there's a progress bar
i think i have the progress bar set to like 180% or something
As cerberus said, make it big and close to middle of screen (or wherever you see it well)
middle of the screen or near my attack buttons would be best
i would also enlarge all the buffs/debuffs if theyre tiny on your screen
one second
I seem to not be getting it because something is overlapping it
is buffs status enfeedment?
enfeeblements
enfeeblements is debuffs
enhancements is buffs
enlarging the boss ones is also helpful
yeah but im also on controller
whats the status info others for?
like food buffs
Hey I got to lvl 30 on my Oceania alt, how can I get the 15 days of sub time?
oh nobody needs to know that
well you do kind of need to know when to refresh them lmao
its applied automatically
I kind of dont eat food ๐
it has your fc buffs as well
That's strange. I got to level 30 and nothing happened
you get email confirmation
if you receive the 15 days, and yeah it will take some time
you are not the only one doing this
maybe after 3-4 days
trying to get dyeable level 50 gear but guy wont let me
Is the triple triad card 'Onion Knight' a rare drop?

Hey, I havea question. Are cracked clusters still a thing? It doesnt seem like roulettes give them? They used to be my main income of gil.
i think they are? doing 50/60/70/80 roulette seems to give me some
Are you max lvl? IIRC they only give to max lvl chars
they're at 90 now
i believe so, thats why you an buy it at the gold saucer
Gotcha, thanks for the info. Also, any tips for making a bit of gil? outside questing that is
hunt trains, selling crafted gear, mats, etc
the old ways in SB prolly still work, just now at 90
Oh I just got it from WoD and was wondering how rare it was
ah i think its around 5%
Not bad, thanks โฅ
is there a way to augment old shire gear?
Crafting gear? Hm. As for mats, I got my Botanist to lvl 50. If I progress that, can I make money from it?
not crafting, crafted
base raid gear is crafted, the 580 set
Im not much of a crafter in FFXIV. I prefer gathering materials
thats gonna be somewhat tough
since its pretty easy to be a gatherer so theres a lot of competition
So Botany wont be a decent gil maker?
but selling maps is a decent way to go if they still sell
Hm
i mean it still can be, but its server dependent
check the MB and look for hearts to see what people are buyin
So, crafting raid gear is the main way? Seems rough
its a way
they give a lot of the new clusters for materia
which still sell decently on my server
negative
i think nixed the ability to augment the 260 shire gear
Huh...
or rather how to buy the item
Alright, thanks for the help
can you buy the augmentation item for scaven?
no, you just pay an extra 100 tomestones with the item
unless the allaince raids still drop the augmentation item idk if you can anymore
Who do I talk to at the airship landing to fly? I've already unlocked it from previous quests and now I need to get to limsa lomisa for my mq
there's an airstrip landing in each city
gridania is below the inn, uldah is on the top floor of the elevator so gotta talk to them
Oh, question! While botany itself may not be good gil making, can I self provide mats to craft food etc, to THEN make gil?
ye, but also that how most crafters make thier stuff
Im okay with making foods. gear crafting not so much
still gonna need to level up CUL and i think you need to pentameld still for that
Pentameld?
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
crafted gear is BiS for crafters due to being able to overmeld
Ah, ill look into that when I decide to give it a shot
For now, Im busy questing and getting into chocobo breeding again
yeah prolly best to look into it after msq and other stuff
I got fenrir mount on my tank, but started maining dps
and they dont want us to have account wide mounts
Anyways, thanks again!
Seika in Idyllshire should still be able to do it
near the scrip people, they're marked as a TT NPC too
the levequest method is still my go to
but you can use white scrips and turn them into blue scrips, or just buy the primal mats off the MB
!quest simply to dye for
check if you have this quest on the map
it might be hidden under other quests
so be sure to talk to Alys
thanks i got it
Can players overmeld for me?
So is POTD the best way to go for lvling alt jobs after 40?
yes
if your dungeon queues are slow, yes until you hit level 60
Oh, dungeons are faster? I'm currently 47 as a tank
Is this the worst rewards for Valentines Day? A mobile and a barding ? ๐
yeah dungeons give better experience
the semi-short queue is the main advantage in potd for dps
Ohhhh, thx
What happens if you donโt save the souls in the All Saints dungeon?
Oh shit the valentine event is already up?
Less cookies.
8th I think? The event page is up tho
30 for max, I think
30 for max cookies (should have 6 at first boss, 14 at second, and 30 at third)
30
I've got fat fingers
But after you've cleared, you can always just recall and get any additional souls
hello, in p3s does experimental gloryplume always starts at north and south?
is it not random?
Wow you were right, why didn't I think of that 
I been doing potd all day as tank lol
it is random
first experimental is randomly rotated "shiva" pattern, then second one is the big bait in the middle
So, this is my first time actually being caught up in the story....
Is there a "What do I do now?" Guide?
what do you wanna do
can one solo lv 70 dungeons for glamour efficiently atm? ๐ค
gear up and do savage, visit roleplay venues from party finder, farm glamours for screenshots, unsub, whatever you want
or need to wait for later, since the ilvl increase from shb isn't that much
I figured theres probably a list somewhere is all. ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
!faq contentunlock
like this?
you can collect things
sync your character to https://lalachievements.com/
A Collector's Guide for Final Fantasy XIV
Thats a good link, ty
and choose what you want to do from there
Okay this might be a bit of a dumb question but really there's no way to set up PvE hotbar to act like in PvP, right?
if you're on pc i think there's a quicklauncher plugin for it, but it's gonna break for a day or three with every patch and maintenance
assuming mechanics don't flatout require more than one player, then definitely
I see, it's just shallow compass
I see but nothing built-in
nope
That makes me sad, that hotbar is just so much better imo because it always switches to the buttons you need to use anyway
quicklauncher is pretty good, if you're on pc its great
I know, I use it
Do i need to run the extreme trials 99 times for the mount or are they a random drop too?
oh thank god
You say thank God now
You will be wondering where your God is when you see it drop on totem 87
And you ask yourself
Do I leave it? I'm so close anyway and I could be saving someone from far more
Or is it get the fuck out of here time?
win mount, trade totems for weapons to desynth, get a bunch of primal materials to sell, win win
How does the subscription work? After the 30 day free trail, it has three different prices I can buy, but I don't know how they work.
30 days $14.99 *
90 days $13.99 *
180 days $12.99 *
Do you only have to pay once every said amount of days; for example, if I paid for the 180 days, I would only pay the $13 every 180 days, or every month leading up until the 180 days? If you want me to elaborate just ask, thanks !
it's the price per 30 days, if you buy 6 months in bulk you pay less than buying 6 months one by one
I see a lot of dialogue in EW mentioning some blue quests that isn't included in MSQ, Will people who didn't do any of these raids/alliance raids experience the same cutscenes?
the trial is unlimited so i assume you mean the time bundled with base game, but you're not limtied in any way like a trial would be
example:
it probably gets adjusted to reflect quest progression
garland tools db and gamerescape have dialogue of every quest so you could check there to see if they have the different options
ok ty ty
What do I spend my Poetics on now that I'm maxxed? Is there a decent guide for that? I've been capped the last...two? three? days
unidentified ore usually, then trade it for soils in iddlshire
!faq poetics for full guide
!faq subprice
Has anything been said about when the free trial will be back up again?
last sentence
basically seeing if turning back on sales of the game would've caused any stability issues
we'll probably get more official wording about it in the next live letter on the 18th, if I had to bet.
quest reward is crit, direct hit, or determination materia. Which one should i pick for summoner?
any, assuming those are the materia from the level 50 story quests they're all worthless
its only lvl 30 lol
then double as worthless :D
hahaha ok
its pretty much just "pick highest ilvl that has INT on it" until cap
Is sage a shield healer?
yes
Materia is a hassle when leveling because whenever you get synced down for story instances or dungeons below your level, melded materia are completely ignored and don't have their stats applied.
Okay cool ๐ I main whm but I want to do both shield and normal health ๐
Heyyy I just started playing again, to finally get from 80 to 90, but I want to change my main class tbh.. I got a bit bored of the Ninja and actually want to up my Red Mage. BUT I need your help ๐๐ I know how to play as my reactions seem to be the same, but I want to know how to be better and what's the best solution to up Red Mage.. Thanks ๐ฅณ
!faq balance
if you wanna know how to play rdm at 90
Oohhh thank you !! Gonna join then ๐
Can we did the limbo gear or not?
you need to do savage for the dyeable versions
Oh
Sooo, how does one overmeld? Pentameld? Whatever it is? And overall, is it worth the investment of (I assume) leveling a crafter to do it?
you need a crafter the same level as the equipment to be able to overmeld it
as for worth, the value of pentamelded crafted combat gear goes down the older a savage tier is, since you have more capped tomestone and savage drops
so it has the most value in the first few weeks
Anyone have the pics for the paladin relics?
Gotcha. So not so much worth it currently then?
badwolfy on YT has a video on all of them
Thanks will Check if out
why are these all ???
do i need like a book or somethin for the lvl 50 stuffs
for BTN
Yeah. The starred materials typically require a book
no
that means you haven't gathered it yet
and once you do, it tells you the zone and time that the node is active for
oh god is it find and seek
just need to have the truth skill active when the node is active
and it leads you to it
is there a reason why i get more fps with the game on full screen mode > windowed? it sucks because act does not work full screen
happens with old engines

any way to fix it? o.o
It has been two days now and my daily allowances for the Namazu BT have stayed at zero...why?
you still have unfinished beast tribe quests in your journal
you must complete all of them to get more daily quests
I'm in free trial and I need to make some gil (50-100k), any tips?
you don't really have much options besides running roulettes as the role in need and completing the challenge log
Itโs easier to get gils later in the game completing msq and etc up to 1mil.
How are people still getting free trial? It looks closed to me.
it is, but current free trial players can still play
Ah right
this will be fun, i only have a dps xD
i guess challenge log then
You can unlock and switch to other jobs if you donโt like the long queue.
where do i get the summoner quests again?
no it's just you are almost never in need of a dps, so you miss out on "adventurer in need" that gets you extra gil
!faq msqtracker
-
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.
this should say where it is
SMN quests are mainly in old gridania or ul'dah at the GC
depending on level
but yes, check your MSQ tracker
i thought job quests were different from msq?
they are, but they are indicated under the msq tracker
as they are important side quests you need to do
oh! icic
does anyone know how to fix the unable to download patch files
???
If you want to cheat, there are a dozen sites out there that have the time and location recorded, so just head there at Eorzea time.
Not NEVER.
It's certainly rarer than Tank or Healer, but DPS pops up as the Adventurer-in-Need for Expert, Trial, and Alliance Raid Roulettes fairly regularly.
say when do they lift the restrictions on savage loot
6.18 or 6.2
well thats.. awhile
Basically the last minipatch before the next tier
how do i link my position in chat
<pos>
ty
how do i get skybuilder scrips?
turn in stuff in the firmament
So I'm trying to do duty roulette for 50+ dungeons but it says I have Two or more duty requirements unmet but it doesn't say what they are. I have more than enough gear to pass the gearscore requirement
anything? like from mining or fishing , like that?
You haven't unlocked any lv50 dungeons
nope, the npcs have a specific list of stuff they want and its ur job to go and make em
so like collectibles
That doesn't make sense though, I have Snowcloak and the praetorium unlocked
but isntead of being paid in purple scrips, you get skybuilder cscrips
praetorium is not in that roulette.
Oh
And the unskippable cutscenes
That's why they made the Msq roulette
Just for castrum and praeotirum
Just to double check, you only get one Unsung Blade per week right?
yep
Yes
Thx
Nah weapon drop stays limited
oh blade ye
They'll unlimit the armor tokens
Probably 6.1 with crafted gear augments
Cuz the normal gear is by extension shit
Can't wait for that day to happen, i want some of them as glam so badly
The number of blade tokens required will likely go down to 4 at least in 6.1
Still have to do savage for dye
Idm not being able to dye for now. I like the monochrome colour scheme they have going
Yeah i'm waiting for 6.1 to roll around for that and maybe lower the token price or something for gear
can someone explain to me why the 560 ilvl chakrams appear to be much better than the 580?
so confused rn
You need to look at the HQ version of the 580 weapon. That's the NQ
HQ will always have more stats than its NQ version
!item classical chakrams
Gdi
Values in blue are HQ
ty guys
how did you find this, need to check my rdm weapon now
you can hold ctrl and it'll show hq stats on the tooltip
its in the text cut off from your screenshots
at the bottom
Also HQ items will have the HQ symbol in their name in the game 
And you only need to make sure it's HQ if it's crafted, such as the Classical gear. Job gear, gear from tomes and raids, etc won't have HQ versions
Trying to understand Arm's Length, when an enemy hits me it slows their attack speed correct?
Does it work on any boss?
Most bosses are immune, since it applies a slow debuff to attackers
Ah
It's good for large dungeon pulls though (as a tank). In boss fights you use it more for its knockback immunity
That clears up the purpose of the move, but what purpose does Interject serve? It says interrupt action but I had no succession in using it effectively.
!faq interrupt
Only works on these cast bars
Yeah, I had used that on someone with a cast bar but it said it failed
Oh
For P1s, what is chain sac strat?
A extremely fucking stupid strat where people with red suicide
guys i have some of the 'limbo' 580 pieces rn, is it worth swapping them out for the classical 580 pieces or should i just keep the limbo pieces i have
Only if it's better substats but even then it's only marginally better if they do have better substats
So no not really
is there a merchant at the firmament who sells crafting materials like straws and stuff?
I just finished leveling roulette and got only 10% of a level from it. I seem to recall leveling roulette giving a lot more experience, am I just misremembering stuff?
did you get a trial
For accessories largely yes, if you over meld them
I got the level 51 dungeon (I'm 57)
did you run it a second time after your first
well, regardless, the 51 dungeon would've given you more than 10% exp from boss exp alone
did you get a whole level and only saw 10% or something
I mean, I got 10% as the roulette bonus
if it's not the first clear of the day then leveling roulette sucks
you should only be running it once per day
It was, I ran it right after it reset
if you can, post a screenshot of the exp gained
the bonus gets adjusted to the content and job level
I need 1114000 exp to gain a level
if you're 57 and get the 57 dungeon you'll get more dungeon exp and lower bonus, if you're 57 and get the level 16 dungeon you'll basically get no dungeon exp and a huge roulette bonus
Huh, the more you know. So the roulette bonus is basically just the exp of an additional boss if you get a higher level dungeon
Is there a way to get grade x materia clusters besides hunts and roulettes?
Maps
daily roulettes as in-need class
Just hit 51, leveling in dungeons feel kinda rough compared to late 40s
Can i buy purple dye?
is there a way to check who is online in my free company like a separate list ?
Sure
Doesn't the member list in the FC window already sort by whose online by default? (I'm not in an FC currently, so I can't check)
Are you looking for a specific shade of purple? Or just purple in general?
how do you open the FC window ?
default is semicolon, ;
hello guysssss
should i sell old gear to merchant ? or is there any disenchant function thats more worth ?
than selling for 20 gil
If u leveled ur crafters to 30 you could desynthesise things
You can turn them in to your GC for seals if you've ranked up enough. There is a desynth option if you have a crafter, to break it in to crafting materials
i didnt get any job yet
should i keep them until then ?
i mean my bag still has more than half slots
It's up to you. There's not really anything worth hoarding at low levels.
One question:
I just played the palace of the dead with my level 21 lancer. I rushed through to see what happened. I died at the boss level 10 and got kicked out. My question is:
what set do i pick for samurai?
Striking
ok
You only get xp in potd when you CLEAR a set if 10 floors
problem is having a decent squadron . w.
Im at the beginning: what are squadrons
oh boi... so after you get to a certain grand company rank, you unlock this feature
they're just npcs that you can run dungeons with
you gotta level them up though
they're... not good at the game
OK Thx for the explanation
you just send your squadron to kill the dungeon and AFK it yourself
watch netflix or something
do kardions stack?
yes, both sages can put their kardion on the same target

In general tbh
does each weapon for the ARR relic need an atma? so can I farm 10 of each atma, or is it just a 1 time step in the process?
each time
theres no one time steps until SHB
The dye vendors in cities sell some. A few are sold by ARR beast tribe vendors. A few can be crafted. Some on the MB.
Got it
alright thanks
How long do you guys think it'll take to get to Heavensward, last thing i did was ||defeating Lamuh||
ramuh, and thats 2.3
still a good few hours away
like, 10 at least
assuming you did crystal tower and hard primals
guys how do i make money through crafting?
a while back i heard something about a 'limit on the amount of the same type of materia across all your gear' but i've been playing a while and not encountered anything of the sort yet. is that not a thing that exists? (i took it to mean- you may only have x amount of +36 crit materia across your gear)
(i know about the limits per-item)
there's no limit across all your gear
I've not heard of any limit like that
okay thanks
Find out which craftables sell well on your world's MB
how many retainers can i have?
$2 a retainer
how do prisms work? i just bought something from the online store but i dont wanna keep it on the same armor everytime because of leveling and stuff
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
yes
Is the classical here better because of the crit and sps?
Yes
that definitely means you are probably running extra piety
i bet you have like 1200 or more
no, it seems
Actually I was running full HQ classicals until just now
swapped chest and legs for radiants
that's still like 300 more piety than you need
lol
the recommended general use set from the balance only uses 719
are the hard caps on stats ?
Stats work in tiers
I can say that that at least 200 of that piety is through melds 
Is there a storage system? My Armory Chest is full, and i could assume people would want different sets for their classes
Retainers are your bank
Where i get em?
So I wanna pick what is doing better right now. In the way of classes I have warrior. Summoner is the only caster I love lol. And reaper. I wanna do machinist but the other two classes I have my eyes in are drg and brd. Are those two doing well at the moment
All jobs are doing well
XD argh that isnโt helping lol
They're all clearing
I mean I like machinist but hard is a bit smoother in my tastes
Ah how about Gil? I have a max 300k is there an item i can buy that i can resell for same price so i can have more Gil?
Bard*
Is that the only way?
Play what you like. No single job is suffering to the point of being useless. No job is so far ahead as to invalidate others.
That's how you hire them
Literally the same since like 70/80
Once you get Life it doesn't change
You get two whole additional buttons from 70 to 90
That sounds boring though lol XD I mean I enjoy drg, just I feel I donโt contribute much since I only have like one aoe
Oh right you get 3 extra from 70+
because you get the rest of your aoe combo at like 70+
With your 3rd aoe combo
Argh XD thatโs so long lol
also you should have geirskogul at lv60
Yes I guess. I mean if anything I could just make summoner my ranged main
I know how bard plays at least up to 60
So I donโt know any of its newer stuff yet
Cause I was reading the level 90 thing are the codas the repertoire
Or an added feature
You just use radiant finale when you use battle voice
Literally don't even need to think about the codas
Ok. XD I feel I might of been doing my rotation long
I usually play a song and when I get to a boss I use my damage buffs right off the bat and go ham on him.
Yes
Ok that I got that part right
Hmmm just trying to figure out cause. I got this so far on classes. Iโm leveling others till gf gets on
The ones below 70 are not really mains
Just testing and trying to pick which ones I know I want at max
Determination, Tenacity or Skill Speed for DRG?
XD I was enjoying blm but itโs just a bit slow
I know it gets better but ehhh
Summoner is my caster of choice
First of all tenacity ainโt a DPS stat

If the icon hasn't changed to BLM yet, you haven't unlocked the job
same with that GLA
I got a choice of 3 materias, im asking which one to pick
Oh I placed my stone in the retainers
Im going determination
Thatโs why it says that
Tenacity is worthless on non-tanks. SkS, you donโt need to go crazy with. Just enough to get you into a comfortable place. Determination would be the better pick if youโre fine with your sks.
Why
Cringe
is there any way to download ffxiv free trials on steam? The disk is damaged and I do not have how to download a new one
It doesn't take armory space away
armory chest has enough space for that
bruh
You literally have a section in thr armoury just for the stone
XD I donโt know why it matters?
No, you have to buy it for now
misleading, etc.
No one has ever asked?
why have your stone take up retainer storage when you literally have dedicated space for it already in your bag
Wasting retainer space
waste of inventory space lol
Well, I did 
I mean I sell pretty much everything I get.
That I know I donโt use or plan on using
just equip your job stones bruh
this is a bruh moment
Literally 0 reasons to not
Which is

"which job to main" iirc
there's zero reason to put stones on your retainer, why would you ever do that?
A subjective one
You main the one you like playing
Itโs cause Iโm trying to get out of that mindset from wow XD
what
Which mindset was that?
In this game you can main everything
The mind set that whatโs doing better
??????
your armory has dedicated space for job stones that can't be taken by any other item
^
you're literally just wasting space for no reason
so the mindset that there's a meta?
The job that does the best is the job you're best at playing.
Kind of WHICH Iโm trying to get rid
I played WoW. I Mythic raided in WoW. But I never understood people who would change mains based on the meta.
putting job stones in your retainer has nothing to do with any kind of "WoW mindset" though...?
I was a BM Hunter, which was... not meta.
I mean Iโm the sense it was top of dps
Even if you donโt plan on playing the jobs later, storing the job stones in your retainer inventory is doing more harm than good. Keep them in your armory. They take up no space that way.
I had many of people that I usually ignored tell me I was doing the wrong class
Yeah, because they could see you were over level 30 and not a Black Mage lol
!faq meta
Not on here
just let the lad put their stones where they want
only the last free inventory space matters anyway 
That's not how we do things here.
XD literally no one has questioned my stone thing
Which is shocking
Because they never saw?
well if you tell people, they'll probably question you
can chocobo music be turned off? it's nice and all but hard to enjoy zone music
Besides like why I have a level 80 summoner but everything else was lower
like right now
so youre saying you have like a lvl 60 lancer??
Somewhere in the audio settings
/mountbgm off
Yes, there's an option in System Configuration to turn off mount music.
thanks everyone
No thatโs not it XD
So when I know I wonโt enjoy a certain class
I place its armor and soil stone in my retainer
*soul
But why
In case I ever want to come back to it
but if you want to come back to it then why not just leave the stone in the armoury
Don't bother with the Soul Stones. As everyone has said, they have their dedicated armory space that cannot be used by anything else.
And there's enough space for every single job's soul stone in your armory.
Not using a stone when you have it, is griefing
5 empty spaces, for 4 un-gotten stones and the 1 I have equipped
Now you know ๐
XD
just leave them in the armoury cause its storage specifically for stones
Nah
But okay after this raid I will do that
Unless the attack will kill you without it
It's weird, but not trolling necessarily.
Unless you're using it legitimately to survive, yeah.
Anyway. I like both in the way that their distractions are nice. And besides reaper and drg share armor so itโs a winwin
Rotations
I hate auto correct
If anything i will do summoner as range and have monk drg and rpr as my melee
Which is fine.
BRD songs are meant to be rotated through.
I know
Oop sorry
can i upgrade steam free trial to full ps5 version? I read that there is a problem with it
Rly ๐ฆ
Or you can just buy the PS4 version of the game and upgrade to PS5 on the spot.
Not sure why you'd need to buy the Steam version, even with the Steam trial.
did Upheaval used to do... more? seems lacking in... flavor? a bit
Why aren't there any Supply and Provision Missions displayed? Do I have to unlock them or something?
Those are for crafting and gathering
supply and provision missions are for crafting/gathering classes
Expert delivery is for turning in gear
so if you dont have any of those unlocked, there are no missions
ah ok, thank you very much!
is there a 3rd party program I can use to track my dps?
that won't get me banned
preferably
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
yes
You can also see others, but yeah
Tldr don't be a dick
sounds simple enough
I just wanna get better
don't care how well others are doing tbh
secretly cares because can see the slackers
Bit out of the blue, but does anyone know if the housing auto-demolition timer is still disabled? 
For now yes
Cool, I thought it might be but I hadn't seen anything about it being re-enabled yet
Theres no official news but I've heard some speculations that it but come back with ishgard housing in 6.1
No confirmation afaik
It still is
The speculation i was talking about was that the timer will come back with 6.1.
Again, theres no official news or confirmation anywhere
The official forums
i got an email like 2 months ago saying my fc house would get demolished if i didn't go in
This isn't an affiliated discord so no
Not for the game itself, not here.
The official forums are the go to
Wasn't what i was asking, i got my answer though thank you.
Oh boy thats worrying. We have a friend who unsubbed recently with a newly bought house
oh they changed it in EW launch
Thank god
They disabled back in Dec for EW launch, that's correct.
Probably also right on leaving it until 6.1 then!
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/2de2d49272628c5fce36009d51b5258c95eda939
then i prob got it on the tail end of 5.5x
does Equilibrium generate enmity?
its healing and a regen so should do
Yes
All healing does
Even thrill generates aggro as it heals
It was very common for warrior to pull with Unchained + tomahawk + Equilibrium in stormblood cause it was the most absurd aggro generation at the start
what does umbral static in the churning mists mean ?
nothing, its just one of the normal weather conditions in churning mists
weather only matters for 4 things Gposing , fishing , lore , and sight seeing
False, some special weather conditions signal special fates
not false just a forgotten thing 
its not though?
it's not forgotten? 
if i forget something then its forgotten , not like removed or anything
err well if we're going this route

this statement is actually false

yes "only" being my keyword downfall 
anyone having trouble opening the game through xivlauncher?
what beast tribes give emotes? i know moogles and dwarf does but i was wondering if there were others
ananta give one
Namazu, vanu vanu
best to do all HW and ShB so the allied quest to unlock a emote
doing all the sb ones give one too
any idea how can I complete ivalici alliance raids? I queued for 1 hour and nothing
Duty finder quite empty
the turtle one and the beast tribe from sea of clouds
hw alot of dances and to get all them gotta do all the hw beast tribes , for stormblood gotta do em all to get pay day
my game window goes a little bit over to my 2nd monitor for some reason, is there some way to fix this?
probably set to the wrong resolution
no its right 1920x1080
set it to borderless Fullscreen or Fullscreen
its on borderless rn
are you sure your primary monitor is natively 1920x1080?
yes it is
tried playing around with other resolutions?
ok well i just swapped to fullscreen then to borderless again and its fine
close and relaunch? 
that's what i meant yeah
oh
probably just a hiccup fixed by resetting that specific setting
something like that
All I have to do to become a paladin is reach level 30 on my gladiator and do the lv 30 gladiator quest right?
assuming you progressed far enough into msq, yes
(after you do the quest, equip the stone)
Does anyone where i can copy/paste text emotes or ff14-specific symbols that translate well in-game?
Ty I'm soon 30 so wanted to know
I found the lists in some post in the subreddit but only a small handful of them work
it does say below.
did you read the quest? 
Swim
any idea how can I complete ivalici alliance raids? I queued for 1 hour and nothing
Duty finder quite empty
it's not empty.
Just queue at a better time
check your language settings.
what was the rough maximum ilvl breakpoint for shadowbringers?
for combat retainers
nevermind, the command still has shb values, it's 428
k ty
does spiritbond grant anything else but materia?
will next year's all saints hollow use the same tokens
cuz if so i'll save the 37 extras i got
No.
๐
dang im too late
i cant exchange them for prisms now
should i just discard them now
cuz its just a waste of inv space
Ye
Hmm whats the hardest mount to get from these: Black Pegasus, Eldthurs, Construct VI-S, Gabriel Mark III?
THX 
black pegasus probably
the first 2 are in the GC Gachas iirc, so you can also get lucky from those
I would guess Construct since it required Unreal trials, which aren't active currently.
This might be stupid, but should I be using my potions in a prog pull?
no
Okidoki THX 
i would only use them in clears
prog is about understanding and doing the fight , pots are for you are close to a kill and they would get you closer to it
i would only pot if youve seen enrage and can get back to it
Hey guys! I am looking for the largest book in the game to glamour for my scholar. So far, Jebat is the largest I've seen so far.
Does anyone know if there's any book that's even larger?
!iglam Tsukuyomi's Codex
thats one big ass book
jebats pretty big too
theres also the relic one with the bigass wings if you count that
!iglam Jebat
Haha, one's tall and one's wide
Oh I will search for that
a age old battle
i know it's pretty pointless, but is there a dalamud plugin that converts your attribute values to percentages? kinda like wow has its attributes when you hover over them
i really loved that WoW has a tooltip for Armor, saying how much it reduces damage per hit from same lvl mob
is there a list of all the MSQs for all the expansions ? I want to know how far Ive gotten
search "MSQ" on wiki
ty
I'm on the last book of Zeta relic, how long is the rest of the quest line roughly?
zeta is the last step isnt it
Zeta doesn't have books
If you mean you're almost complete with the book step, then that's what people typically consider the most hated step, but there's still a good deal of work left to get the completed relic.
QUESTION: is there any discord servers out there that specialises in music?
Like ff14 music? Bard performance? What are you looking for?
does the lore say what meol taste like?
Don't think it ever mentions the flavor
... awwh now im really curious (too bad reality has no sin eaters)
Just a comment from Yoshi-P saying he thinks it would taste like sweet bread maybe.
Can I solo floor 1 to 100 in palace of the dead with a warrior?
you can solo it on anything
With enough aetherpool
If you got enough aetherpool
Butt it goes up to 99

it goes up to 200
XD
Ok
aether pool is 99 though its well ptod knowledge is power
What do I get reaching 100 floor
necromancer title
?????
.
its the title
Ok
It's one of the rarest titles cause it's so hard to do
I wish necromancer is a job
you and everyone else
Same for bloodstorm?
we have reaper
that's the closest we'll get.
But can I summon undead helper
no you just summon a demon
Picture?
a sin eater that can actually fight with you would be nice (for a necromancer class)
best if it's that au'ra wink
because dragoons have a backflip
and they press it and fall off the arena
same goes for rdm and any other class with a movement skill
Is there any movement skill which can't ledge you
Besides the ones which target an enemy
no
Does mechanic have backflip?
Machinist had no movement skill, if that's what you're asking
Ok
Why are my stats so low, how can I increase 'em?
theyre not?
which stats
HP for ex.
530 is like the best ilvl for lvl 80
That's normal for 80
you're not max level.
your HP is normal for that level
Stats got squished in 6.0
and yeah that's normal. as of 6.0 there was a stat squish.
if you want to increase them then level up 
Ohhh they squished 'em?
