yep
We don't have 200k anymore

Paladin main player are you happy you got 200 more dps?
you can have 200k again if you go into a level 50 duty unsynced lol
If you weren’t invested by HW, you just may not be a story guy
ShB is a great expansion tho
when you buffer a gcd and it shows that it's buffered, does that mean the server's already gotten the input and will give it to you as soon as it's available or do you still have to worry about the off chance that the server eats your input
If I enter p1s and then leave without clearing, do I wait next week for loot?
ty
which class has best MSQ utility in ARR?
Yes
how do i exit a solo duty? i entered thm instead of blm... lol. was wondering why my hotbar was all funky
i have ninja lv42 right now and my MSQ is lv23
msq utility isnt a thing
@trim yacht try clicking the duty thing on the right side of the screen
the duty name
Ok so I'm level 28 now but I haven't gotten a quest to get a mount
Do I have to go somewhere?
!faq mounts
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.
Top half
Okay thanks
i got unicorn as first mount but cant use it until i did company chocobo quest lol
i can pull up the duty window where it says leave, vote abandon, add members, etc but its all blacked out
Does it matter much which company I chose?
No
dont ask why i got conjurer to 30 before doing msq i was more interested in job quests lol
uhhhh the only thing i can think of is relogging the game
just pick up two or more classes so you aren't permanently overleveled
that too
i have every class at lv31 or above now cuz i kinda went overboard and said "i want all of the job stones"
my msq still stuck at lv23 though (i did more msq today than my entire playtime divided by days)
Mmm about wondrous tail, how can I get second chance point? And what the faster way?
do duty's people haven't cleared
Do duties you haven’t cleared
wish i was that motivated to start new classes
the duty will also tell you when one or more people haven't cleared yet
maybe eat some determination rocks (materia) irl?
XDDD
@oak quarry mmm so mby duty trial is a good way to do it?
it can be
Ok thx
i would say alliance raid roulette can also be good because you have a pretty high chance that 1/24 people haven't done that raid yet
for some reason, it keeps telling me that 2 or more duty requirements are unmet whenever i try to sign up for a normal raid on my rdm. can't work out what the reason is, since my item level and my level are fine. any ideas?
65
do you have Alex unlocked
Do you have 2 Alex raids unlocked
If you have 2 eden or 2 omega or anything like that the roulette is available but you can't do it
yeah, i've done some of the omega stuff but that starts at around 70 iirc so won't be any good for me right now
how come there is a person in sharlayan with a sprout icon? don't u get it removed after finishing 5.0?
boosted
bsooters
welp...
Or under 300h playtime
also its like 5.55 AND 300 hours played
if u at 5.55 and have less then 300 hours u probably skipping cutscene though
yes
If i have my "trial" account already (level 50), should i buy the Base Game in Steam to keep playing until i reach lvl 60? i formatted my PC and cant download the Official Trial Setup.
Trial lets you get to 60 for free
or you could buy the full game
The trial launcher has been reuploaded in the pins
Yeah, but i cant download the Trial right now
For reference I started over a month ago, currently at 259 hours played, just finished patch 5.1 MSQ. I probably 90%ish focused on main story, 10%ish trying new jobs
and yes I was reading everything
Ive skipped voiced parts but thats because I read the text before they finished talking
so idk if that counts as a "skip"
ey man u read fast what can I say... also my friend who does nothing but story (and I helped him get kirin mount but that took like half an hour) and is currently doing 4.0 i think lvl 66 msq has 300 hours
shrugs idk what to say
Its probably fair to say I skipped some stuff at some point (really hated how long prae was for example), but its not like I was speedrunning trying to skip every spec of dialog and audio
People could also just...not do optional content
wait Actually... we did coils and alaxander too
aint nothing to say , its amazing if you stay full on msq focus since ff14 has its distractions to check out
if i switch back to a GC i was member of b4 will i retain everything i had like class hunting log etc?
Ive done MSQ, done roulettes for poetics for good gear to start an expansion with, and tried out some jobs (mainly higher level ones, sage, gunbreaker etc)
nope, you'll only retain your squadron
but you have to level from the beginning again
your seals is also will be unusable, so make sure you use them all
but leveling gc doesn't really take much time, cause you already know the step
yeeee, I think I have at the very least 200-300 hours just of farming glamours
there a shit ton of stuff to do in this game
you just know repeat with a faster pace, and assuming you are high level now, you can solo aurum/darkhold in under 5 mins for both
I dont think its reasonable to say that doing the entire MSQ should take 500 hours (or some other high number), esp if we're talking the MSQ by itself, no distractions kind of deal
no need to put a timer on these things just do w/e makes ya happy in 14
the msq is about 250h (plus minus whatever, depending on pace) if you do not do anything else
now if you like that or not... up to you
Correct me if Im wrong, since I mostly do MSQ, but you could get all the way to finishing endwalker, and then start doing other stuff right? Its not like you're locked out of doing older level 50, 60, 70, or 80 content right?
but it is how the game is set up ¯_(ツ)_/¯
nope you're not
yeah, but it will be a chore
you can if you choose to though you lose out on some refernces and nods to your deeds
you'll have to look up google, get that quest, finish and repeat
if you are fine with that, it's ok
you are only locked out of 1 thing far as i know and its very little is if you NG+ you will start with your default city you picked based on job , only thing when you get recruited to the scions you view the variations depending on the city starter , thancred , ysh or papa
Question! Home and free aetheryte points can be reset without cost (beyond it no longer goes to wherever you had it before), right? Is there a limit on how many times you can do that, or how often?
No cost, no limit
nope, just a limited to one home point and 3 favored locations
I think I've seen something about free ones besides home point, too? Or did I misunderstand something?
if you register an OTP you get an additional free location
I went to start my first levequest and it informed me that b/c I don't have a point set in the area, it'll abandon the duty if I have to return. (Which I assume applies if I die, too.)
correct
Does that mean I can come back and start over? Or it's gone forever?
you have to restart the leve again afaik
they are different but do function the same you can have FC teleport , the teleport to your partner who you married in game , and theirs the GC tickets its like the ones you get for vespar bay
though to be fair, dying to levequests is somewhat unlikely
unless you royally fuck up
they're not exactly hard
whats OTP?
one time password
One time password
.> I was grinding to get my archer to level 15 to be able to do the All Saints Wake event, but missed that it had a minimum MSQ stage requirement, too, until very early this morning. headdesk
which is, incidentally, the lvl 15 msq
Because it introduces real group content
Whiiiich is how I'm doing my first levequest for level 10 as a level 17 archer--I got to 15, found that out, and tried to slam through all the MSQs from 7 or 8 onwards. 
I know I'm OP for it, but I'm still having trouble with moving around in combat. And dealing with multiple opponents at once.
soon you can have a chocobo fight with you
(I checked and still had 8 MSQ quests to be able to do the event 15 min before it ended. 😦 )
Anyway, thanks! Gonna go tackle thatnow
out of curiosity if someone wanted gil would it be against ToS to trade someone gold in WoW for gil in FFXIV? I just want to avoid breaking ToS and it is kind of a blank area..
Can you buy gold in WoW with real money?
yes
yeah
That's a good question itsa
Definitely
grey area
Nah totally against tos
Trading gil for some sort of goods outside the game
That’s RMT
It's probably a gray area
but how can it be proven outside viewing logs from 14
Strictly speaking no it’s not a grey area
With Faux Hollows on hold, is the only way to get the Cat Saith Ribbon from Khloes silver certs?
It’s against tos
No, because RMT is strictly stating for trading real world items for game currency not other games..
Can you do it and get away with it just fine? Yeah probs
technically it is RMT because gold in wow has an actual RMT value
The TOS includes things other than money in it's RMT section. "which include currency, goods, property, currency available outside of our services, character(s), item(s), point(s), data, information, etc."
Thank you, that is a defined answer.
who even want wow gold these days
technically speaking, buying a friend a meal for them giving you some gil is against ToS
yes
it's very broad by design
I mean, I have 118mil on WoW lmfao that is why I ask
yh but wows money gold is kinda inflated with its enconmy while 14 is more tame
On a off topic note, if someone wanted to farm out 50mil in a month... Any ideas? 😉
simple supply and demand
Argh. There was a treasure chest thing near the anoles, but I didn't open it before the end of the quest. Did it dispense automatically, or am I supposed to open it before killing the last thing, or ?
do the lvl 5 hunting log monsters only appear at certain times or jus well hidden
What shoes are these?
they are not tied to time or anything
Should by always available
just look for em or google their locations
Up to you
And what are these wrists?
looks like the espadrilles
Summer Flame?
dirndl wristbands from mogstation
It was there while the levequest was running, I beat it, and now it's not on the map. 
The log itself has a general location if you mouseover it
Chests can spawn during leves. You have to open them before you finish the leve.
Drat, I'd never encountered one before. Ah well, I know for next time.
Thanks @strange coral
im trying to set up a simple verraise macro that says "raising so-and-so." this is what i have written down:
/micon Verraise
/p Raising <t>
/ac Verraise
but it doesn't show up in the chatbox for some reason?
!faq download
ty
like if i was in a raid? i'd have picked out who i want to target before hand with my controller
#kupo-bot-spam for personal use
also /ac should be first and not last
yes but are you in a party currently when you press the macro
im not in a party rn
thats why
Then it won't show
i tried it on a random blue mage that self-destructed when i was in limsa and it didn't show up. and i was just doing one of the nier raids and it didn't show up either
just change to p to a s to test
because you cant use party chat if youre not in a party
ooooooh
chocobo your not a party my dude 
so is this better?
/ac Verraise
/micon Verraise
/s Raising <t>
/micon at the bottom
and spam the /ac line to max
that's for every macro with skill
/ac verraise
x13
/p raising <t>
/micon verraise
use this pattern, change raise to verraise
Oh... total noob question... WHAT is the difference between Tell, Say, Yell, and Shout? the other ones are more obvious.
distance
start with merror, and end with micon
and tell is a dm

why do i need so many actions?
cause macro doesn't queue, repeated will guarantee more chance to success
Ahh, thank you. I assume people soliciting for free companies in orange is shouting?
if you dont spam it then theres a chance it just wont go off
yes
whats best way to rank up an alt 40-50
roulettes and dungeon spam
other thn pod
roulette, unlock all optional leveling dungeon and queue highest level dungeon your alt can access
all optional?

Does anyone know why my FPS could jump randomly between 15 and 60? I already did the benchmark and got 4500ish score but even with minimum graphic options the problem appears.(Graphic card driver is updated)
Number of objects/characters/effects, weather, other stuff running on your machine (for example antivirus scans), pretty much anything.
the only thing open was task manager +steam to check if there was really another program influencing
There are always processes running for other applications or the OS. You can't really control it.
are you sure ff14 is using your graphics card and not integrated graphics
yes
i would ask in #technology-discussion

Why do you have a verraise macro?
just to say "raising x" so people know when we're in a raid
Earlier you had it as
/s [message]
its not that necessary to notify people but
This isn’t really helpful
Healers only use it sometimes because they potentially have to slow raise
RDM never slow raises
you will NEVER use cast time res as RDM
hey how can i gain tactics points for a character in my squadron ? to get offensive 5
hmmm so it's unnecessary?
didnt find on google
RNG, do command missions
Random when completing command mission dungeons
any healer with more than 3 brain cells can see the raise buff on the person you rezzed
so they will know
you will always Jolt->Verraise or Vercure->Verraise, or the short aoe
ty
but anyway you should only be rezzing if both healers are dead
in which case neither the tanks nor dps need to know lmao
i was in a nier raid earlier and people were dropping left and right 🤔
i've seen parties where healers wait for RDM to raise before grudgingly using theirs
those are bad healers
yeah, yesterday one of the healers in the chat said they were straight-up refusing to raise anyone lol
yikes healer
then theyre a bad healer
If healer doesn’t have swift up then RDM is probably better tbh
yeah
nah that's just a player bad at their role
also were you spamming the rezz macro and not just clickng it once
stay the fuck away from my rezes
cause you need to spam it to make sure it goes out
you have to click the button multiple times???
clicking it too fast has a chance of it just not working
That’s sprint macro
You repeat the line in the macro.
you've probably played the game for a long time now so you can judge the amount of time the animation lock takes in your head. the difference with macros is that you have to press it AFTER the lock for it to count
thats what im saying
That’s why you repeat the line in the macro to simulate queueing
Don’t have a heal macro and spam it
The poor chat
sorry for the late response, real life happened, but aye bards playing music
i havent tried it on rdm but if i swiftcasted and used a rezz macro immediately it just wouldnt happen
Did you repeat the line in the macro
i believe so
i had a <wait.1> before the party line so it didnt spam chat
party notifications are really unnecessary nowadays considering we have the cast target icon on the party frames
And the fact that nobody reads chat during a fight
thats the only reason i can think of for why it didnt work but yeah
Bard music player has a discord with a ton of people https://bardmusicplayer.com/
Some performance groups, such as Songbirds, have their own as well https://songbirdsffxiv.com/
I'm not in either of them, so I have no idea what they're like, but if they're not what your looking for, maybe someone can point you in the right direction
I have a story question. Do I ask it here or in another channel?
since it'll probably be a spoiler go to #archived-lore-spoilers or one of the spoiler threads attached to #beginner-lounge

dangit
thanks a lot man! this will help a lot!
hi!, can you make deliveries for crafters above level 80?
Yes, custom deliveries scale all the way to 90
Good evening! I have got a question for you. If I buy the DLC, do I have to pay the subscription for this month ?
yes
Expansion doesn't come with sub time
Only ARR (either starter or complete edition) comes with 30 days sub time
🥲
where can you do them? and how?
thanks!
How do extreme trials from Stormblood compare to Endwalker's savage raid mechanics wise?
Susanoo and lakshami are pretty close to ex 2 and 1 respectively
EX1 is braindead like lakshami and you just follow the guy who knows what they're doing
Ex2 has actual mechanics you would expect in a ex
that website only goes as far as shadowbringers, sorry, do you know how to unlock or enamble endwalker ones?
There are none yet
Just trying to gauge, since I've been farming doggos (and finished) a while back if mechanically I'd be able to tackle savage raids
You can still do previous expansion NPCs for experience and scrips
they remain good
Unfortunately susanno was a push over and we really didn't need to do mechanics
oh really? awesome, thanks!
Try level 90 EX first
doing old EX unsynced doesnt count
unsync old trials isn't really comparable
There's 3 of em, lol
It is if you aren't getting hit though, no?
no
no not really
it really isnt

it's not comparable at all, lmfao
because your damage and hp is so bonkers you just straight up skip mechanics
you skip so many mechs
or just dont die
I see
You can skip entire phases of fights
Like for E4S, you practically skip half the fight
if you wanna do endgame start with level 90 extremes
that's the entry level
then do savage
Hrm. Doesn't seem to be anyone doing them. Probably do a party finder and put practice and maybe people will join idk
its a bit late in the tier for fresh prog but you can probably find some
people will always be doing them
also meld your gear and get food
^
and make sure youre doing your rotation
Heck food, but I already got normal melds and rotation
ideally you want 10s
You need food.
always take food to endgame content
Yup
if you cant get 10s then use 8s
All X's
Food is absolutely required.
it's cheap, might as well be free
If you don't bring food you're griefing
and it's the hp boost it gives you more than anything else that's important
The food disappears when you die, right?
no
no
jesus
Oh really? I could have sworn my gatherer food wore off when I died in a duty...
food lasts 30 mins
Hrrm
its a set 30 mins
45 if you have company or squadron action buffing the timer
That's actually pretty good. Fuck it, I'll just craft it since I was crafting it all the time for myself anyways
60 if you double up
The margins for them are so small though
if you can craft the current endgame food.
make sure youre using the bis food for your class
Not even worth selling imo
and make it HQ
Yup
which is pumpkin potage for most jobs
Yeah that's what I was crafting
Super easy to make
Just, time consuming
Oh wow, they don't really give you that many stats
yes it does
I guess it's 2 - 3 X materia's worth?
That’s a good amount
it makes a massive difference.
Yeah, I was just expecting more
Look at your current stats
Time to watch a video
What about em?
Just to see about the food numbers
is there an easy/quick way to target people not in your party? when i cycle through targets it just wants to select enemies unless im right on top of the other player
click them
ok ty
would a /targetpc or /targetnpc macro work? specifically to target people not in party other players opposed to npc
anybody know what's the policy on ACT?
Bannable, but they don't care
Just don't bother people with it in game
i dont think macros can distinguish between people in your party and people not in your party
Don’t say nothing, won’t be nothing
grayish area; don't flex it in game
against TOS, but used by a majority of the raiding population
SE doesn't have tools to detect if it's installed
ok
you won't be punished if you don't discuss it ingame
as long as you don't use it to harass ppl in-game they don't give a shit.
World first raid teams openly stream with it on, and are still acknowledged as world first by SE officially
I think if you get punished for using it it's harassment first and use of third-party tools second
whats the lvl 90 mnk gear called
Anchorite's
ty
So I just finished the first part of ARR and I want to get some good gear and weapons. What should I be doing right now ?
hey sometimes i can't equip gear i turned into a glamor dispite seemigly meeting all the requirements any idea what causes that?
ty
As in you can’t glamour the item onto your equipment?
The general issue that causes that is that it’s a higher level than the actual item
for example stablemaids hat: level 12 all classes
that's the problem
You need a higher level base item
you can't glam a level 12 item onto an item lower level than 12
that sucks
the hat i have has better stats because it's high quality even though it's lower level
You’ll have a higher level base item in no time at all
gunna craft one rn
Was is the difference between first phase and final phase for the high-end trials...? 
In the raid finder? Meaningless cause you don't use it to find people
don't df extremes.
It's meant to attempt to put people with the same progress together
especially current ones
how to reduce the size of my and other people's names ?
if you mean reduce their actual size, don't think you can.
if you mean shorten their length, then you go to display name settings.
thx, was talking about size :/
You can't change the font size on player names.
Only control how much of the names you see (or if you see them at all)
damn that's really disappointing, bought a ultra wide monitor and that's just TOO MUCH names : s
I should check those forbidden plugin things
Just set player names to display "only when targeted" or "in combat"
oh yeah good idea
I usually set it to display party names "always", other players "when targeted", and alliance members "in combat"
cuz now...
lol
Yeah, you can just set alliance members to "when targeted" and it won't hurt anything.
You can also set whether or not you see their HP bars.
Incidentally, changing the settings to hide player names is also beneficial to your framerate, so it's win/win
thx f or the tips, killing Xande and trying all that < 3

So I logged into the game today and all of my settings seem to be reset back to how they were in ShB, all my glam plates and saved gearsets were months out of date, my UI and graphics settings, hotbars, macros, the works. Is there a way to soft reset them to how I had when I logged off last night?
I want to buy a small house, i got the money for it as a new player, don't want to waste money on Apartments/FC Room. Is getting even a Small house so hard i can go ahead and buy a Room (300k gil) if i want housing experience
It’s gonna be a lottery from now on
Quickest way to farm light with ARR relic ?
is there a way to change the default color of an outfit that's been put in the glamour dresser
every time i make a new set the color gets reset
the menu where you put stuff in
right click the piece that's in the dresser > dye
not on the actual plate
Gotta apply the dye in the dresser

Hello people, I'll ask here cause I don't want to interrupt whatever conversation people are having on the FFXIV discussion (not sure if I should ask this on the art chat also), a friend of mine is in need of commissions and asked me for help, is there any place where I can plug her information or would that be considered self-advertise? I would post her art , but she hasn't done any FFXIV yet, only from some other fandoms/OCs
ty in advance
advertising is not allowed in this server
either post on the reddit or find another discord or something
Ty
um this dude just alked up to me and have me 30k gil of allegan pieces and a chair then ran off
why
30k gil of
maybe it as payment for patting me?
What's the ilevel for alliance raid 1 and MSQ 6.1 most likely gonna be?
whatever free money is free money
copied was 460
That's even lower than fully decked aphorism? Lmao
alliance raid will likely be 590
Bingus saying 565?
wait
i'm going yb what it says on gamerescape
which stats min ilvl to be 435
oh wait
cypher is talking about the gear
alliance raid will either be 585 or 590 yeah
430 was the baseline for lvl 80, copied factory dropped 460 gear (10 ilvls under the current savage tier)
Are the rooms the same in the FC house and the one i buy for 500k? 🤔
which provides the intended catchup gear for people just getting into savage or not raiding at all
6.1 alliance raid will be ilvl 590
fc house are 300k
apartments alone are 500k
but yes
same thing
fc just provides a discount
Up to you
In terms of content the free trial is equal to the starter edition (just with more restrictions)
If you have the finances to keep your sub going, go for it
Totally worth it
just note that you can't go back to the free trial, ever
once you have subbed you can only play via an active sub
it's the code that is region locked, not your account being wrong
the JP code only works for a JP account
Actually do they have Windows or All closed? 🤔 Where i can watch out? 🤔
All closed i think
is the moogle tribe mission locked to only 3 a day? can't do tribe missions even tho i have 6 allowances
if you would just focus on the story then ARR + HW would be about 130-ish hours. Add to that time for whatever side content you may end up doing
it's not illegal to move, just tell them you did so and created the new account as a mistake because of that
It does seem like a reasonable situation to be in
I've just rememebred I moved my doccuments folder to a new location, which the game seems to be accessing now resulting in the new UI. If I were to take the contents of the old character folders and slap them over the current one, would that restore things to the way they were last night?
no idea but i would assume jp support is in japanese
All tribes in the expansions only give 3 quests a day unless you rank up, which then gives you another 3 just for that day
Only the base game tribes have multiple quest givers
thanks !
There is a liveletter in about 2 weeks and tbh I would expect some news about the trial in there. If it is good news however... who knows
yeah I was about to say, maybe don't post that pic 😄
pic is already gone, all good
Can u suggest me some Appartements for 500k with nice view outside? 🤔
The only outside view is outside the building

where can i go to find a fc to join?returning player switched from ps5 to pc so pretty much brand new lol
!faq communityfinder
it's crossplatform so there's... no difference in fc offerings
are there any upcoming events?
thinking of taking a break for awhile. msq is exhausting
valentines
does fantasia ever go on sale?
Occasionally
nice
What
Could i use Nuts for, if i got the collectibles?
Materia for selling
Or stockpile for 6.1 when you can buy Astronomy upgrade materials with them
Which will probably cost like 2k nuts per item
I wish we had Nut Tickets
can I buy immortal flames hunt stuff and switch to another gc?
or like own the gear then switch to another
You can't wear it
😭
can I undo autosorting my inventory
I accidentally autosorted when discarding items for the THIRD. TIME.
whats the translate button?
You get the option to undo sort right after sorting assuming you didn’t move an item around
You can also change the ordering of options in the menu in the inventory settings of the character Config
“Subcommand Customization”
You can also make a secondary subcommand menu to shove options you don’t want to use often into, like sorting
Is fourfold timers the strat where players go to waymarks in an ascending, clock-wise pattern relative to their debuff time?
Yep. 3 goes 1-A, 8 goes 2-B, 13 goes 3-C, and 18 goes 4-D
ty
aye, a/1 is 3s, b/2 is 8s, c/3 is 13s, and d/4 is 18s
Or you do the dumbass death strat and we all think less of you for it

Is it more worth it to sell gear, desynthesize it and sell the materials, or turn it into GC seals and sell something off of there?
Depends what you want
Here's a macro
In terms of making gil.
I also have Enclave at max if that makes a difference though I would doubt it does.
Like from the story rewards? Just picking the one relevant to your role or open them up as your role
Not too sure what you mean
thank you so much
wdym “matching armor packages”
You don’t need the whole set dude
And if you do want it for glam, 90% of them are crafted
Yeah for leveling story gear, it’s all crafted/vendor gear
And for level cap, it’s old tomestone sets most of the time, which can be bought with poetics or hunt currencies
Expansion of Duties permit to have your retainer outside your house, does this mean that retainer is no longer selling in the markets? ie crystarium
They still sell items on the MB
What about the tax rate?
ok, so I've seen skillets and knifes for culinarian, but where can I get the attires for Disciple of the hand and land?
It just lets people directly see all the items your retainer is selling, and buy directly from them if desired
Tax rate for buying from the MB is constant and can’t be avoided anymore
Level 50 set is crafted, the rest of the sets are bought with white scrips or purple scrips
artisan's set bought with GC seals is good at level 50
where can I get scrips and where can I use the,?
!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)
Each house of splendors quest unlocks different exchange options at the scrip exchange people spread out in the main cities and endgame hubs
all my Disciple of the hand and land jobs are at most level 30!
now I'm questioning why I did this in the first place if I'M ON FREE TRIAL AND CAN'T SELL ANY OF MY EFFORTS FOR GIL
I feel like I'm going to dead ends everywhere I go if I want to go level my disciple of the hand and land jobs because their entire purpose is to help with an economy along with providing the necessary items for raids, trials, and what not.
Certain glamours can only be obtained from Crafting
when I'm on free trial and I can't interact with the Market board, can't get a retainer, can't go past 300K Gil, and I can't join an FC to get any additional benefits
!iglam Uraeus Coat
And I heard from a friend that Relic Weapons need to be crafted
the plight of a free trial omnicrafter 😔
all I wanted was to have better gear for my DOL AND DOH jobs!
I don't care about glamours at the moment
Make it yourself
DoL and doh can be fully self sustained
If you are willing to spend the time
but on free trial, I feel like I don't have the space for it all
BECAUSE I CAN'T GET A RETAINER
No
I can't get a retainer because I'M ON FREE TRIAL!
sorry for the yelling
I'm just very DONE with the bullshit I'm dealing with all this DOL and DOH stuff
Look at your items and see if "Shop Selling Price:" is not "None". If there's a price, that means it can be bought from NPCs and you can just sell them off
especially with the firmament
I just discard everything I don't need because I get so much gil that I don't need to sell any items
It is almost as if the free trial exist to give people a taste of XIV, and its endgame is to encourage interested players to fully commit to XIV
except for the allagan pieces, those are for when I hit retail
....guess I only realize my limits now
in the middle of post Heavensward patch content
I'm aware of the social and inventory limitations of free trial, but never the retainer limitation
I don't know how to get vendor gear other than skillets, sythes, hachets and knifes
because I keep seeing the arms and not the attire
Talk to another vendor
WHICH ONE!?
Dude they’re all in the same area
I'm sorry
again, it's the limitations that got me all worked up
and all the stuff that's been annoying me to kingdom come
I'm just getting sick and tired of my DOL and DOH jobs getting stranded because of my Free Trial limitations
well
I made a promise to myself that I would not buy the game until I got to do the following
Level 60 on all the classes I wanted to do
Kill Cancer
do all of the MSQ until the end of all the post heavensward patch content
and get some cool looking gear on the way
ffxiv doesn't seem to detect my ps4 controller on pc at all
wired or wireless
i'm non-steam
Are you using any third party apps like DS4Windows?
how come sometimes i switch to a combat job and then back to gathering
i lose a huge chunk of GP
<_<
||tldr: Exarch is from a timeline where the 8th Umbral calamity happened. Due to the work of Garland ironworks they got the crystal tower the ability to travel time and space back to the first to prevent it. He told urianger to lie to us to hide this and who he is||
I think it saves how much GP you had before switching to a non-gatherer job
yeah what vinyl said
its more on the lore side but in short ||CE asked urianger to lie yet again and not reveal the truth so he can die and return the scions to the source with his death||
||It is the same, from the future||
shb spoiler: ||this is the same graha tia, he just traveled back in time|| play more to understand more
can anyone help me? ive been having this error everytime i try to log into my main character, it lets me go into the que and then after that when the loading screen shows up this error shows up. but it lets me log into different characters, i am really stuck.
most ff14 plot lines invlove the 3 As allangans , asiacans and anicents

tl;dr ||time travel's weird. he's the same person except he travelled back in time, thus creating an alternate timeline separate from his own. it's confusing but it works. there's a bunch of short stories detailing the 8th umbral calamity's timeline||
you dont have a helm on
Your equipped gear is too low
And no helm so helm can't apply
Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear
you do see your empty slot in helm right?
yes, you cannot put level 20 glamour onto level 10 stuff for example
also yeah the empty helm is an additional issue
no
you c annot, glamour is applied to the item
Can't apply it if there's nothing to apply it to 😉
therefore it is necessary to equip stuff to glamour
nothing
imgaine being in a full glam but your naked
((that isnt the new emperor stuff))
when i try to use ds4, it doesn't seem to detect it either? but windows does
Yes
Prisms are extremely easy to get en masse
IIRC there should be an option to switch between keyboard and gamepad controls.
Sorry, not a controller player
200 grand company seals
buy them with seals
Once you reach a certain rank with your grand company you can buy them
you can also just buyt them off the marketboard for very little gil if you are not on the free trial
you likely havent joined a grand compnay uet then
it's like 20k gil for 99 which is nothing
in the in-game controller menu, it can't see a controller
Also at higher ranks you can contribute older gear to your GC in exchange for seals, high level pieces will net you over 1000 seals per item
just keep following the plot, you can't miss it :)
the story demands it so cant miss it
out of random curiosity on the subject if you boost what GC are you defaulted to or none
i believe you get the one form the city that's associated with your starting class

i may be wrong it's been a minute
Yes
It's not low pop
Plus server population doesn't matter
Server choice means nothing, data centre choice does
Matching is cross server
Only marriage and fc are server exclusive
And housing
!faq dflanguages
Yes
That, tick all 4 JEDF
Cause world visit exists
People with flowers next to their name aren't on your server
In chat
You can visit Ragnarok world by talking to the aetheryte Plaza in 3 starting cities
Choose world visit
Yes
anyone know the theme that plays during the e8(s) add phase?
“A Sundering of Light”
pog thanks
iirc the only things you can't do are buy houses, access your retainers/sell things on MB (although you can buy), and join FCs on other worlds
also cant whisper
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties.

You HAVE to buy expansions from steam from now on
no
and on the plus side you can use steam wallet for subscription and even cash shop purchases
nothing so bad that we say avoid it
Not sure if right place to ask, but is PSN having problems right now? Whenever I open XIV on my PS4, it just cannot connect at all
Hey Guys im looking for someone from midgardmrmr. Need a little help with something 🙂
Hey guys, just a quick question as a google search came up inconclusive, can free trial players world travel?
Does FF14 ever go on sale, like get a discount promo? If yes, then is that exclusive to Steam or does the official site also give discouts?
Yes
Cool thats all I need to know thanks
I've seen the expansions on sale on steam but not the online store
Sales will happen
The game does go on sale pretty ofteb
Eventually
However
Its not happening now because
- the expansion is fairly new
- they had to stop selling the game recently entirely due to overwhelming number of players
It may start around 6.2-6.3 who knows
So doesn't make sense if they were to give it a discount now
Last year before end walker, you could see sales popping on various platforms in various forms every other month
No worries. That's pretty understandable. Just thinking when to time my upgrade from free trial
Related: If I start on Free Trial from the FF site, I can't bring my char over to Steam no? I'll have to start from scratch (not counting skips, if available)
You can
^
You can be on the main launcher free trial and buy a steam game and transfer over
Just not vice versa
If you started steam free trial , you're stuck in steam
using steam still requires u to use a "special" version of the regular XIV launcher anyway
like u cant login with just the XIV launcher, which is kinda annoying
goes 50% off often
Ayt. Thanks for the answers!
Sorry to ask again, but are Playstation players having problems getting into the game? Playstation says PSN is fine, but the down detector website has plenty of reports. I can't even make it to the login screen.
will i be able to augment astrology gear in the next patch?
i mean, it's basically what youll have till next xpac no?
no
we have 2 more tiers to go thru
we have at least two more tomestone sets to go through.
oh it's not just one set per tier?
well technically aphorism is but meh
3 raid tiers
how does that work when it moves to poetics?
do they just remove everything but the 3rd?
ohh hunt currency ok
aphorism will be moved down to nuts when 6.2 comes
whats the best way of leveling crafting guys?
and astronomy will join it in 6.4
oooh ok
Just logged in with no issues. Afaik psn down time doesn't affect your ability to log in to ff14
and how much does it cost to level the crafting jobs using the mb?
Leve, GC turn ins, job quests, restoration if below 80
Beast tribe quests ixal moogle
and dwarf
what does this mean?
oh so it was literal
Alright, so I guess it's just a problem on my end. Thanks!
Yup sack of nuts
Though I don't know what exactly...
internet or routing.
@proven lantern have you tried restarting the console or router etc
No
or they are just the basic classes
Console, yes, but I can try my router

Router worked. Thanks for the suggestion!
I have a question about the market board. Relatively new player (love crafting) and I've noticed some items have players that come in and just buy 5-10 of them at once (gear). I haven't been able to figure out why... they are generally around level 80 - 90. Is there some kind of quest where players spam turn things in later on? (I'm very early in the MSQ chain)
Hi there, quick question. i see in the game settings i can use toggle for XHB. Is that available for normal keyboard and mouse? so just hit ctrl or hit shift instead of holding?
no
bummer, thanks!
Is there weapons for Puglist/Monk that actually look like gauntlets/gloves? but not attached to something but rather wearing them
aight ill look at em, ty!
this is omega knuckles from o12s
Will the cloth/cape of happiness prices go down significantly in the near future?
Byakko's Enspirited Fists.
!glam Byakko's Enspirited Fists
!iglam Byakko's Enspirited Fists
jesus why is squadron ai so bad
Yas
absolute pain to do wanderer's palace
But yea I personally use the o12s one
Lvl 70 artifact weapon has a similar glow to the omega one as well
!iglam Antiquated Sudarshana Chakras
ok now thats something im really interesed in
since my char lastname is Lightbearer
Yea this is easier to get as well Just do the lvl.70 job quest
If you want it dyable, you can do eureka to upgrade it
in a month maybe... i started playing like.. idk how long, a week? since it went on sale again
Aight thats good to know you can dye it, ty!
That’s about how long it takes to finish Eureka
shadowbringers spoiler does any part of this questline require savage or extreme raid/trial?
No
yay, i get to have a cool weapon
Relics never require high end content
can you give squadron equipmetns?
No
Once a squad member reaches level 51, you can glamour them as you like. Do note that they can not wear glamour of a higher level than themselves. Just like you.
But it is also just glamour. You can't affect their stats outside of that tactics menu thing.
rage quittting because i cant survive due to hp cut lel
squadrons honestly kinda suck until you farm some battle tactics...then you can run stuff like permanent +60% dmg or like...what 24%dmg/perma rampart?
Sharlyean
they are 51
i dont' even know
where they get battle tactics
When you do dungeons with them
Randomly
It's rng on completion
Why do stone and aero do unaspected damage instead of earth and wind damage respectively. Earth and wind damage clearly exist because the summoner has them
Doesn’t matter
Element types are just flavour
Unless you’re blu
Nope
No
wdym
So they aren’t actually damage types they they called it that
.
Once upon a time spells actually did elemental damage and monsters had elemental resistances
Mine says unaspected
Sounds like Glare/Glare III and Dia
!action stone
I’m still on aero II and stone iii
Blu spells have elements, because weaknesses matter in Carnivale
Gimme a bit to load in
!action aero ii
wind
No need, those match the descriptions on the main site as well.
But anyway it’s just flavor text for magic
Yeah
Elemental damage types mean jack diddly unless you're apparently BLU or in Eureka I think
why would they even put a damage type in if it doesn't do anything
1.0 jank
flavour
Because they used to have damage types
because its fun flavour
Lore
And now they don't
adds a little bit of fluff to the game
if it looks like wind elemental stuff, having it say it does wind dmg makes sense even if it doesn't actual do anything
blue mage does look pretty interesting i might pick it up after work tomorrow
sucks that you can't do msq with it
Would you like an invite to Blue Academy to learn more about BLU? 
maybe later
also, as a few people have mentioned before, elemental damage typing used to matter way back in the old days
it no longer does
I guess it would be a pain in the ass to change every tooltip accordingly
But there’s no reason to change them
it doesnt hurt anything to have it there
And they still do elemental typed damage, it just doesn't matter what type it is because what changed was the armor.

does anyone know if there's a plugin that allows you to only display own debuffs on the focus target bar, but display all player debuffs on the main target bar?
yeah I know that one
I think there is such an option in delvui
I don't want to use delveui 
Then I can’t help
i can't even pass the lv 34 squadron mission
this sif cukin stupid
ths squadron command is so fuckin unresponsive
like seriously
i can do these squadron mission sync'd with my fuckin chocobo
sales were reopened not that long ago.
@boreal storm So I can download the game and play as trial?
free trial still suspended.
Awww :(
If you already have a trial account, you could redownload the client
when you buy the class books next time i log in should it be unlocked and level 80?
If you use the book, it makes you log back in so the changes register
where do i get the book then sorry?
