You bought it, And it goes to the mail
Sorry for asking here but google results didn't know. How big is the installation of FFXIV currently?
was 74gb for me last week
@real fractal Okay, thank you :)
Go to gridania, to the amphitheater, there’s a delivery moogle near
ty! <3
Are Grand Company Standing ranks based on how many GC seals you earned during the week? I can see my friends / FC friends lodestone activities with "X has achieved rank XX in the Grand Company Standings", but mine have always shown as "--" even though I definitely earned some GC seals during the week from roulettes, gear turn ins, etc. I'm on Second Storm Lieutenant and max level if that means anything.
It's PvP.
are these irrelevant now? Like I can't even make money off of them?
You can turn them in to Doma.
Well.
you can turn them into materia and turn those in to Doma
AST in the balance shows best gear to have before doing savages (like, best ilvl 580 gear for week1 savages), but it doesn't show the same for DRG. For drg my best ilvl 580 gear should be crafted?}
you can also save them for lvl 80 blue mage stuff when that comes out
ye that works
dps didnt all get a crafted bis bc they were getting drops
week 1
Crafted gear is fine, pentamelding is a pain tho. You can get 580 pieces from normal raids and 590 pieces from limited tomestones so you don't have to buy a full crafted set
yeah, the problem is that I would like to know which 580 piece is better crafted and which from Normal raids. My DRG already has 2 pieces 590 and 1 600, but I wanna know what's the best gear for the other places. I've been doing less dps than a tank in P3S so I want all the help the best gear can give me
Check the different gear options and look at the substats. You can follow the meld priority. Crit>Det>=DH>Sks. In general you want to avoid skill speed as much as possible
just to be sure, is DET better than DH for DRG?
uh... if you're doing less dps than tanks as a drg then it's not a gear issue, it's a rotational issue.
WAR question. Is there a reason to keep Storm's Path on the hotbar after getting Storm's Eye?
yes
more gauge from storms path
there are no useless abilities.
20 vs 10
path also has a heal
undraw
Just making sure. I thought it was a weird upgrade
yeah, I've been following the balance opener, so I need to keep practicing it, and do well my positionals (that I've been ignoring all this time until now). but still i want to have the best stats gear can give me
stats will not change you doing less damage than a tank.
The difference is almost non-existent at this point I think
Well, drg would like as little skill speed as possible but if you're doing less than a tank, stats won't change that.
get your opener down. beat the p3s SSS dummy.
if you're consistently the worst performing dps then you're really doing something questionable rotation wise.
or you don't have food....
but even so, should I get more from one than the other, or having half extra stats for DET and half for DH is fine?
whatever the gear lets you throw in
The answer to that is more nuanced because it involves stat tiering but the difference is negligible
if crit and det full, throw in dh
It shouldn't matter unless you were chasing marginal dps increases
again, that does not matter
even at 580 you should not be doing less dps than a tank.
Honestly at that point, you would need to look at like etro and see if you hit the stat tier

the best I achieved was 4% with ilvl 584 and food, but not all my materia is X, some is IX, so I wanted to have X before trying again, and because that I wanted the best 580 (I have all 580, 2 590 and 1 600, but all ithe 580 are from normal raid drops, so no pentameld)
If you have the choice between melding det and dh since crit is full I would go for det. But it will not matter for the most part. Crit good, SkS bad
Are you logging your runs?
go watch woops' video on drg. because that's what you need.

Thanks so much for watching, I hope this guide serves to be useful. Please keep in mind that as balance/job changes happen over time, some of the information in this guide will become outdated/incorrect! This is also the first time I've ever made any sort of info/guide content so feedback would be ...
PS4, only when other people log them, but the past few weeks I've been doing runs as AST, so no recent runs as DRG
If you can get your hands on a drg log of yours put it in ffxiv analysis. That should show you any glaring issues in your playstyle
i cant get my game to patch ive tried dns and useing vpn, deleteing the files its told me to, waited an hour to do it nothing has been working.
!faq xivlauncher
Hey,I'm a lvl 25 noob ..made a bet..and was wondering any way to lvl up fast to 50? 
Do msq
!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.
follow the main story, you'll level slower because its your first character and thus you dont have any armory exp bonus
youll find it easier when you level alt classes
MSQ gives a lot of exp
be sure to finish your class quest too to unlock your soul crystal and get the other 70% of your skill kit
can i reach lvl 50 in 2-3 hours by doing msq?
no
lmao no. i assume your trying to hit 50 fast to unlock samurai or red mage?
it took me 2 hours on oceania alt to reach 30
a few days of diligently going through the msq and youll be there
no i made a bet if i get to 50 i get to choose any custom i want from shop
so i need something fast
depending on the hours you put in
That was a dumb bet
the higher levels you get, the longer it takes to level, ofc quests scale, youll just notice it will gradually get a bit slower
Well you only have 70 or 80 relics
have you tried the seeing horde rdm weapon?
or the zurvan weapon
!iglam rapier of the demon
Dont all the rdm relics glow red?
Im currently using zurvan rapier but it doesnt glow
Do I need to like, enhance it or something?
you need the crafted version
!glam augmented law and order rapier
Just the final steps apparently so...
Uhh
iglam
Can I get them from the market board? And how do I know which version im getting?
Because it’d be called this
Also you can’t sell the weapons dropped from EXs
the one from the EX is zurvanite rapier
i can see how Thrill of Battle synergizes a tiny bit with Shake it Off's dispel effect, but i can't imagine why would i ever want to dispel Vengeance/Raw Instinct with it, that just sounds like a mistake
you can use it at the last few seconds of it
if you have repeated damamge coming out
that would require a pretty big amount of preplanning
Can someone help me with viera'fying a name?
for a measly +2%
I bought end walker through ps4 but when checking my expansions through service account status I did not have them.
I did purchase starter edition years ago and atm my account has been played up to stormbringer
yeah when you throw yourself 50 times at a savage fight, you get to the point where you can plan your rotation start to finish
but im no warrior player
so i dont know how they plan it out
i just know knowing your entire rotation through out a fight isnt to hard, when it comes to preplanning stuff
did you enter the code?
you should of gotten something in your email
If it’s PS4 it’d automatically get applied
ah
and he bought it off the playstation store right?
i mean i'd assume so
yeah it should apply then, maybe it needs time to process or something
since hevensward is free do i still have to download it or was it alreayd downloaded when i downloaded the game?
You did buy starter for PS4 right
I’ve had the starter otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten all the way to stormblood
i just hit lvl 50 and went to the area to find the quest that the wiki told me to go and the quest wasnt there so i was wondering if i jsut have to download it
@boreal storm Sorry for disturbing you again but I managed to download the launcher, reset password and login but I'm stuck with the launcher asking for a serial key. I haven't downloaded the game itself yet. My account is (should at least) be trial. Never purchased anything etc.
Got a 60 on it
Maybe I'm just dumb
Check your mogstation just to be sure
did you actually enter the game to confirm the purchase? ps4 does a confirmation in-game
You probably downloaded the full game launcher
slow down buddy, which quest are you trying to do
and if you had the game open when you bought it, close it and open it again
If it means anything btw I do not have a sub
Trial client is in the pins
You might need to sub, but you still need to open the game to confirm your purchase either way
FREE TRIAL TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Due to ongoing server congestion issues, registration and download of the FINAL FANTASY XIV Free Trial has been temporarily suspended.
Again 📌
Anyone know if I can download the trial launcher somewhere else?
im trying to find the coming to Ishgard quest
AAhh okay
Follow your msq tracker
If you haven’t beat ARR, you can’t do that quest
Ok I got it working, thank you all
if you just hit level 50, you must of just beaten 2.0, there are subsequent patches 2.1-2.55
before heavenward, which is 3.0
oh ok
MSQ unlocks everything

is there somewhere i can look to see how much more i need for the quests or do i just have to keep doing the quests and ill eventully get there?
You’ll know when
@vivid valley start from the "seventh astral era" quest and you can see how many quests you have until Heavensward https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests
alright im pretty close
Any news on when Garo/Makai items make a comeback?
thx for the help
Nope
Damn...
@boreal storm Thank you so much for the help. It's downloading and everything seems to work. Really appreciate it :)
Copers think they’ll return with the PvP update
Any estimates on when that is?
6.1?
or later than that?
If I remember correctly, PvP updates have usually come in .x5 patches.
Ah...
Can I buy level 80 gatherer gear with white scripts?
Yes? Its in the scrip exchange
Under white scrips
yeaaah where
the pvp update is happening in 6.1
do I have to unlock it somewhere?
I know that I had to go to rhalgr's reach for level 70
you need to unlock the eulmore house of splendors to unlock it on all white scrip vendors
and I messed and almost bought the 470 il sets
bought a hat and a coat but realized soon enough

thank you again
I was capped on scripts so I had to find somewhere to spend them on
Whats the best way to level alt jobs? im leveling bard but im stalled around level 32
daily roulette + spam highest available non level cap dungeon
alternatives include potd (palace of the dead) if you are having trouble with long queues
!faq altlvlguide
hey guys i got a new controller for ffxiv, but when i use it, the right joystick is apparently moving when im not moving it so the camera keeps automatically moving
How do i fix this?
so after I use this item, how do I equip it? do I have to remove gear?
its just a fashion accessories afaik
so you dont need to take off anything, like wearing an umbrella
ah ok
If you mean auto rotating when you're moving, that's normal. If your keeping still and it auto rotates. Your stick is driftibg
yeah i just googled it, turns out the new xbox one series x controllers have bluetooth issues..?
That I have no idea
i dont understand, what is this and why cant i use these?
how hards p4s compared to p3s
not your current floor probably
and that job icon is bard
so use your bard and then you can queue
I am using my bard
the dps check for p4s door is 48k, so that in of itself is a jump
i've also heard pinax is hella fun and rough
So do I have to constantly delete save files if I want to level a different class?
yeah, you can't queue with that save game if you are a bard already
Damn that sucks
just use the 2nd one and delete the first one
Is there a reason why?
because it's a japanese dev, they have very strange ideas about gameplay conveniences sometimes
its a challenge mode thing, there are challenges to use the same class solo, or same party, up to a high level as possible
How do I select floors? I've only done 1-10
you can't, checkpoint is only if you done floor 50
keep climbing up with your second* save file
to Start, you can only select 1-10, then later 51-60, once youve got there once
till you reach floor 50
you need to keep playing the same save file, to get up further
so once you clear 1-10, you then queue up again but select the current save, which will start a level 11
you might have to be patient, you'll wanna play during peak hours, not a lot of people play the floors inbetween
you'll also not be able to go straight to 50, as aetherpool stats need to be increased to actually be able to play higher floors
so you need to repeat lower floors a bit before you can go higher
is it worth buying gear from gear vendors to desynthesize
im too lazy to make 200 steel ingots myself again (and also the ungodly amounts of crystals i need for whatever doh i have to level)
depends on how much you tend to desynth
if you're farming mounts a lot then ye
if not ive still gotten the big crafting mats without the high levels
so its a viable strat then
i thought such an obvious thing would be a devs already seen this coming moment

i mean they did, shields no longer give the big crafted stuff
swords got a buff tho to compensate
tbf some of the ex weapons didnt even drop the crafted mat until 5.5
and it was totally random
like 4.3, 3.5, exs didnt drop or somethin
I don’t know why you would
seals are a much better tradeoff
too lazy to farm elementakl shards/crystlas
anyone a housing connoisseur know any objects that would work as a round doorknob?
trying to make a fake sliding door closet
im stuck on malestorm hunting log tier 1 so i capped seals
where can i find list of where log monsters are
the in game menu kinda hard to understand (i know X and Y but where is the location)
Maelstrom Hunting Logs Rank 1
click on the mob in the hunting log and it opens map
This gives enemy levels and a spawn area
what happens when my level of my job inside deep dungeonm is higher than my regular lrvel
nothing
well except you get more buttons added to your bar as you unlock those higher level skills inside the dungeon
is there a good crafter to level alongside botanist?
where is this watchlist actually? been looking around and i cant find it
on the left sidebar of the achievement window
idk if this is the right place to ask but anyone down to run hades EX trial?
top category
crafters are all interconnected so there's not really a single answer
ok thank you 🙂
carpenter and weaver are obvious ones but like
it doesn't stop there
and presuming you'd want to make your own gathering gear and tools too would mean doing all of them
and miner as well
basically if you want to get into crafting and gathering, do them all
when ppl farm stB raid for tank achievement, which mount/achivement is it for?
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Tank_You,_Paladin_III paladin version
one of these.
Each tank has an associated mount that they earn through those achievements
Rewards armoured lion/bear/panther/sabretooth mount for PLD/WAR/DRK/GNB respectively
Paladin gets lions. Warrior gets bears. Dark Knight gets panthers. Gun breaker gets sabertooth tigers
anyone have a link to the 6.0 job apm post on reddit?
How long does it take to get the radiant armor set ?

13 weeks for a complete set, 12 if you only get one ring.
my MB is broken, it doesnt show the number of items that are selling, anyone know how to fix this?
That's because partial search is on
Oh thanks
Which pieces r worth getting in ur opinion
entirely depends on your class
if you're doing savage pandaemonium, look at your jobs BiS sets and follow those
and whether you think you can clear savage in a reasonable timeframe or not
Mostly all healers
if you don't see yourself clear P4S anytime soon, weapon for every class would be first
Ok
how do i attune to the aetheryte at radz-at-han? the guard wont allow me inside
Msq progress
you'll be allowed to attune to Radz-at-Han around 85 MSQ
basically when you're done with the story in that area
or close to
ah. i asked cuz Thancred told me to attune
he meant the thavnair aetheryte
how do i make dyes and get pigments
!quest color your world
complete this quest and level up any crafting class to 30.
and to get the pigments level up either miner or botanist to 30
so i dont have to buy them i can just find them
cool
great thank you
wait just to make sure, are they easyish to get once u have the job
yeah
and also should i do miner and botanist or just one
since you can't HQ dye you can just use progression skills and not worry about quality
so they're braindead easy to do once you have enough craftsmanship to do in a couple of synth actions
either one works just fine for pigments, they unlock at the same level
but if you want to be self-sufficient in general as a crafter, then definitely both
fisher is much less important in terms of crafting, since for the most part only CUL really uses fish here and there
and a majority of fish are just for selling to NPCs
what about just for dyes
for now
at least
are the cyrstals you need also botany/mining
Is there anyway to aetherial reduction a bunch of items all at once
nope
Might be a stupid question but if you're doing unsynced ShB content, how much can you reasonably ignore in terms of mechanics? Obviously you can't faceroll the same as if you were doing HW stuff but I want to know if I should still watch a guide and learn all the mechanics.
there are some unsync-specific guides out there already
basically do the mechanics, but you'll cheese through some of the damage and skip phases
Depends on the severity of the mechanics, yeah. For example, in Hades you can safely eat the vuln stacks from the double-cast rings because your damage is strong enough that the continous uptime will push him to phase transition, which will give you loads of time for those stacks to wear off. But there's still quite a few programmed phases.
The fights themselves aren't super difficult to learn, though.
Well for clarity the one I'm trying to do is E12S.
you'll still need to do the mechs up to the kill
which is around dwayne and basic rel
there'll surely be an unsync guide for that one
well maybe not but there are some comments here from people who have done it:https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/roebd8/anyone_tried_eden_savage_in_endwalker_how_hard_is/
2 votes and 12 comments so far on Reddit
Which blue quests should I complete?
Sorry if dumb question but first time launching game and i made character when it asks to choose a world it says none are accepting new characters right now? Does that just mean the server is full
Yeah aether is fully locked out (congested). pick another data center in NA

Does that mean like at the moment or is it full for a while
full until SE changes it themselves manually
which may not be until patch 6.1 in march/april
ohh okay thank you guys ill try
Yes.
huh?
I meant like which ones should I do and which ones aren't worth doing
I know.
ones that unlock dungeons aren't important, but they're a good source of poetics due to the one-time bonus
for PLD you can't have shield step 3, sword step one from the relic quest right?
technically yes
you upgrade the sword and shield to step 3, and then buy the stage 1 sword back from the calamity salvager
but for upgrading, you have to upgrade them together
oh cool and will the glow appear if you glam it onto something else?
the glow is on the weapon itself, so yes
if you mean if you can move the glow onto a different weapon model, then no
Though the second one would be cool, the first response answered my question awesome thanks for the answers
why does this Challenge log quest not complete? I finished 3 daily roulettes and it didn't complete the quest :(
oh ok
so expert, 50/60/70/80, leveling, and main scenario would count towards this
oh god okay
do people still do Eureka content?
ok thanks :)
Is there a way to check what glamour i have on?
if you hover over an item's tooltip, the name will swap between the name of the actual item and the applied glamour

Do I have to pentameld my gears before I try for Pandaemonium Savage? If not, what gear should be the best gear set for trying it?
Normal melds at minimum, if you're new to savage you probably need the pentamelds for dps
also its just general.. good pf manners to do so
Okay thanks a lot 👍
It also depends on the speed your party your party is clearing at. If you forsee that they are going to take months, pentameld isn't really necessary as by that time you would have tomegear.
I wouldn't say that pentameld is necessary for P1S and P2S
more damage good
yea but its a cost benefit, materia prices are dropping, but if you arent clearing p2s in two or 3 weeks you dont really need it
not strictly necessary but still worth doing, not like you're going to be replacing it any time soon if it's taking you a month to do P2S
depending on how much gil they got not at week 1 materia prices
doesn't have to be gil either, you can get more than enough just by doing hunt trains and expert dungeons regularly
i wouldnt recommend people do hunt trains with the congestion, for dungeons its adventurer in need, plus opportunity cost
? congestion died down over a month ago
tell that to the people bottlenecked changing instances
so absolutely nobody
okay
even at the peak of the congestion changing instances for hunt trains was hardly an issue because train conductors would just wait a few minutes for everyone to get through
if i play summoner am i going to use the pet hotbar constantly or no
nah
oh
you can safely hide the pet hotbar from your hud
noice

You do kinda use the place action in high end stuff, usually so your pet stays in the middle of the arena
Not a priority right now though
better to macro it on high end summoner
esp since your placement resets every time you use a summon
i have a question, how does fishing bait work
You choose a bait and then start fishing. Depending on location and what you want to catch you will want to use different kinds of bait
something like this, what does the bait part mean?
i already know what Mooch is so i don't need much explaining
That's pretty much it. Just be aware that bait is usually lost after catching something while lures can be reused. (Thry can still break howrver)
is the right most part the best bait for that location or?
It's a list of baits that work on fish in that area
What specific bait you'll want to use depends on what you want to catch
wdym?
Oh an extra inventory for it, yeah
I usually keep my baits and lures in the saddle bag and only take out what I need when I need it
oof
there's a universal bait for ARR fishing
Does anyone know how to get rid of controller drift?
That's a hardware issue
hello everyone
i was curious if i could use the weapon skin on my lvl 48 arcanist
Weapjns for different jobs sold separately
❤️
Basically nothing
All the good weapon glams start at 50
No glow 4 u
so this one i can use at lvl 90
No
That's specifically reaper gear
At least the armor is
The weapon is from mogstation and only works for reaper
ah i see
I am very confused atm, my square enix account details, which I used to play Tomb Raider and other FF games on doesn't work when I use it, to login/launch ff14. I logged in to the official square enix website and updated all my details but ff14 still says INVALID. should I create a new account?
do u actually own ffxiv?

Is mnk easier to use than Sam is rn?
i bought the online starter edition from steam late yesterday
Did you register it?
if that is the process that requires me to enter my square enix id and password, no because that is what is saying INVALID.
i'll get a screen shot of it and show you
Oh ok
you need to put the game code into the website "mogstation"
also u can just delete the pic
so u are opening the steam version ?
yes
have you entered your code?
online starter edition
Google "mogstation", log in, put ur code in
like the game code into mogstation?
and please delete the picture
i think he also needs to do a ffxiv account
he should have been able to add it
from the game tab
the accounts are separate, ff14 needs another account
Yeah its confusing
which website do I need to create my ff14 account on please?
!faq mogstation
if you create a FFXIV account you can use that as a square enix log in, But if you have a square enix account, You need to make a different FFXIV account and register any products you buy from ur squenix acc to ur XIV account
but yeah. Use mogstation. Its essentially your goto for everything FFXIV
thank everyone for your patience with this old man
its no problem, ffxiv has his ways of making things a little more abstract if u don't pay attention too good
i remember having to login to two separate things to play another game actually so its not unusual
mogstation is saying invalid as well haha!
i think I need to create a new account
I only know this because I thought the SE and FFXIV accounts are the same and wanted to play the free trial on a account that had already played the beta so I send a ticket, turned out they are completely different, and are just linked to the same e-mail address
Jk, why is mount name not shown when mount is used?
can you do story quest when world travel?
do engineering and survival manuals affect custom delivery exp
I wonder
yes
i'm 99.9% certain they do not. they only work on 'combat' xp, which for crafters is making items and for gatherers is gathering items
they don't
what jobs should i get as a scholar (disciple of hand/land ones)
most mmos work like this, a mount just removes your character, and brings in a new model, with your character attached to it, when you select yourself, well its still you, the mount isn't separate
some mmos show the mount name on the buff bar, but ff14 doesn't
none? all of them?
what do you want to do with crafting for Scholar?
literally no combat job, needs crafting
for example i played gw2 and there at first crafting was very useful
thats why im asking
tyyyyyy
Well
well crafting is useful here too. just not required
In XIV crafting is really intricate so for example making a weaver top might require cloth from weaver, leather from leather worker, precious metals from goldsmith, and alchemist stuff
if you're gonna do crafting, most crafting and gathering jobs, feed into eachother in some way
except for FSH/CUL, you're best off doing all of them, or none of them
So when you do want to do crafting you should do them all at the same time yeah ^
Unless you literally want to spend millions on materials you could have just made yourself
ahhh i see
spending millions on materials is way easier though 😄
In GW2 the crafting disciplines are required for the best end-game gear (ascended/legendary and that's not really true for FFXIV
But yeah crafting itself isn't really necessary
i am lvl 48 rn and main story just stopped giving me quests until 50
Yeahh
so thought i mighth fill the void by doing both
Can do
that happens, you need to get to 49 or 50, from 47
levelling crafting/gathering jobs doesn't do anything for your combat job though, exp and levels for all jobs are separate
so doing something else, wont level you up to 50
you need to Use the job to get it to level
do roulettes if you havent already
yo what is a good way to get to 70 quick from 50 (im up to hw)
do the main story
yeah do MSQ if you havent yet, otherwise spam POTD 51-60 and when you catch up to MSQ level do that
i created a new account on mogstation successfully. thank you again everyone
Spamming dungeons, and then MSQ
Hi, I just bought FF XIV and i've a problem
I want connect my Square enix account to launcher for put my Key code game
And it ask my "identification code"
What's it ?
My username Square Enix dosen't work and the Key code game dosen't fit in
(i think) its a code you get in an email when you make an account, not 100% sure though
No thats ur square username im p sure
You need to add ur game code to ur "mogstation" account
then u can play
doesn't work
what's it ?
!faq mogstation
google: mogstation
link
register the game code
to your Square account
im genuinely curious, does Square not tell you to do this when you buy the game?
with the amount of people we get who dont do this, im just wondering if they literally dont tell you and just let you figure it out on your own
im p sure square store tells u to add the code to a mogstation account
not sure about steam
right, so its the usual, people not reading the product description
is tales of adventure worth im thinking of buying the realm reborn one cus it is kinda boring
realm reborn part
dunno about others, but i like to know where my money is going and how to actually redeem what ive bought
not really
arr kinda sets up the entire rest
and if u just buy the storyskip you'll have to level without main story which just means grinding dungeons
its world building, and the end of ARR is critical for the beginning of HW, or youll have no idea whats going on
No, the story boost just skips ur msq to the next expansion, ur jobs stay all the same
ah
i wont skip it than
there is no pint
point
but the walking around kills me
FFXIV is a game you kinda have to take slow and smell the flowers. If you only focus on endgame and obsess over reaching endgame, you might not have as much fun.
u get a mount at main story level 20
did you at least get ur mount?

Why
yeah waste of time
maybe later
MSQ gives more than enough xp
it will make it feel even worse
SO IT WAS ALL A WASTE
they give almost no exp
Well if you had fun
OH
i mean fishing and cookng is fun
yeah thats fine
Yea and many people level those anyway
not all a waste, some sidequests unlock things and some give you okay gear for leveling
just do the MSQ quests, adn class quests
people advise you stick to MSQ at first anyway just to unlock more
get past ARR and into the good stories
yeah, more you unlock, the less boring it seems
because you have so many options later on, on content to do
early on, its a bit limited
Just Take your time, dont focus on endgame, read the text, and go at ur own pace
Everything is locked behind MSQ progress

Trust me. There is more to do for a person leveling than there is at endgame
those u wanna do
so i just focus on main quest and blue ones
Ye
wow ok it's ok thanks you
yup pretty much, and class/job quests,
It's not enough specified ..
if you're a completionist, you can come back later for the side quests
yes but only for ARR areas
itll be easier, because you'll have mounts, flying, be higher level, etc
post ARR you need to gather aether currents to fly in a zone
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
It will my first time in this game, FF XIV is the best MMORPG better than Wow or other's things?
Depends on what you like
it depends
😨
FFXIV is a very good rpg, thats all i can say
its very well regarded, but it really depends on you
XIV is VERY Story focused and plays alot more like a traditional RPG than an MMO
same here Khazi. first time player about to launch the game.
nothing is the Best, overall, there are different kinds of people who like different things
but ff14 is regarded as a very good mmo, yes
Ok
if you dont enjoy reading or story, this likely isnt the game for you, although there are still plenty of things outside of story to do.
You advise me take attention of dialogue so ?
there are a lot of people who dont like the massive amount of story
yes
a Huge part of the game IS the story
You will be doing a LOT of reading.
a lot of ppl in game read dialogue ?
yes
there is a lot of story
But if there are cinematic i don't relly need to read all npc dialogue no?
will iget a reminder that my 30 days are up?
you do my friend
good
the cinematics only really focus on the important parts. The NPC dialogue connects those important parts together
you really do miss out on a lot of story context without reading dialogue.
Ok and there is a link between other's FF game ?
pretty much all dialogue boxes in the main story are important
there is a saying about ff14
it's very much a RPG first, MMO second
so means, lots of story
I mean can i be spoil FF VII by ff XIV online ?
only references. You dont need to play any of the old games at all, I havent
no
no, FF games dont have links
How do I get the camera to not spin around to the target when grouping mobs whilst in dungeons? In the past my tank would just throw her axe to an enemy on the side or behind me and the camera would still be pointing in the direction I was running towards. (I'd continue running forwards) Now it spins to the target that I threw my axe, which is really disorienting when I'm mobbing and I suddent run 180.
there are references, common things in the games over the years
Ok ok cool
but no direct story links between games
FFXIV is more of an RPG that happens to be online. so play it like a story rpg. Smell the flowers, dont focus on endgame, read the dialogue and mess around with what you have.
Story plays out like an RPG everything else plays like diffusing a bomb lol
i was mad for Lightning. 😍
well, you can get her haircut somewhere
There is more content to do in XIV for a person leveling, than there is for a person at endgame IMHO
I'm doing the Glory Days side quest and its not letting me complete it. I completed the quest, but the little complete button is grey and I can't press it. I need to complete it though because the same dude is the story quest guy. Does anyone know how to help?
theres no special "IT GETS FUN HERE" point when you reach max lvl. Leveling is just progressing, instead of it being a chore people just do to reach endgame
? By endgame you can have all the stuff that you didn’t do while levelling
select a reward
it’s more than the further you get in MSQ the more there is
you can do it now or later
omg tysm !
see where it says Options
you need to choose one
also true you can go through msq and save all the side content for when you finish.
Play it however you want basically
but imho i think its better to unlock and do sidecontent when its appropriate . Just a me thing but do play however you want
My friend did side quests while going, I didn’t even collect aether currents until I was done
How to get second mount speed stars in majority of zones?
Quests and then aether current attendent
Attunement
use the compass in,, where is it now?
Oh wait
That’s flight
Ignore me dw
just saying, flying is max speed so you wont need speed stars
that too
unless if you prefer being a ground dweller
depends on the region,
ARR regions are from alliance seals,. gotten from hunts/carnivale
HW/SB are centurio seals
not sure about the other expansions
It is more for completion
ShB and EW are from doing FATEs
guys i cant find spriggan graverobbers anywhere
quests usually show you where to go
if you can't find them, look up or down
maybe above or below you, like in a cave
hmm maybe theyre in a dungeon? if so i cant enter this dungeon
theyre probably in a cave
Other than the NIN SHB relic, are there other NIn weapons that look like katanas?
what is this for? a quest?, hunting log?, something else?
huning log mate
hunting log tells you where they are located ...
no, like, hover your map over thename on the log
yeah i know
it will say the location
there are some mobs which are in more than one location
says black brush
yeah the area theyre in is black brush
dont assume the area is just near the name on the map
the maps dont show area boundaries
watch the top middle of the screen, to see when you go into a new area, to see where areas stop/start
example, all of this, is blackbrush
only the right, is The Clutch
Hello
hi
Im struggling to drop tortured memory pieces in bojza
Why?
Im doing fates non stop
I dropping none
at the risk of trying every ones patience, I need further assistance
Im*
i put my new account details into the id /password screen. instead of INVALID it now says incorrect.
i have checked them twice and they are correct.
Did u leave the one time password field empty
change ur pass word, dont use invalid.
This ain't helpful
hmmm
other than triple checking the details, adn changing ur password again
i will check my dets again just to be sure
dunno, may have to ask SE support
my password broke once a while ago
no idea why
website accepted it, client didn't
soo i changed it, and suddently it worked again
ya sometimes that happens
Does any1 know if there’s a quicker way to obtain Tortured of the dying etc?
It taking ages to drop em
Like 1 out of 6 fates
@void saddle fates in West corthas and sea of cloud
Also bozja fates are really not the fastest for the memories
Cluster farming is the way to go
If you can find a cluster farm party now, that would be ideal. I haven't been to bizja since ew I have no idea if people still do
Is there a way to macro shukuchi? Aiming it on a controller is a bit hard
Otherwise the HW area fates are 100% drop iirc? If its not its still reslly high
@swift pasture ```
/merror off
/ac Shukuchi <t>
/ac Shukuchi
/micon Shukuchi action
Something like that
Where
I typed this off the top of my mind there might be errors
@void saddle
@swift pasture have you turned on the setting that limits the distance of the target circle to max btw
whatrs /mirror
But do they drop all 3 or just yellow ones?
nope? where can I find it
@hidden cypress it just stops the chat box from flooding. Ig in this case it really isn't needed my bad
it doesn't seem to work
i think thats merror
probably supposed to be /merror
this makes you dash towards your target, if youre not targeting anyone its the usual shukuchi
Ahhhhh, lemme try it again. my bad haha
Cany rmb where but its somewhere in settings for sure. Try under targeting or something
can you sell in mb in a world not your own?
No
kk
thank you, the macro works now @upper cove @hidden cypress
Limit ring movements to targeting range
Thank you very much!

anyone on spriggan wanna play together
I made a stupid decision today as I deleted my character from Year 1 on Odin (EU)... The server is congested and I am unable to create a character at this time. Just bought 30d gametime to get back into it and it seems I won't be able to play with my friends. What the heck can I do?!
@upper cove
Create a character on a different world in the same data centre and use world travel
But transferring home world costs money right?
permanently, yes
only permanent transfer costs money
you can visit other worlds on the same datacenter freely
^
Yeah sorry, that is not a solution at this time for me. Guess I'll be getting a refund from Steam
?
all instanced content is crossworld so I don't see the issue
Thanks for the help guys!
Because I wont be able to join my friends company
I was in Year 1, bought the expac yesterday
bought the expac or the whole game?
cuz if you had the base game before, and played more than 3h, steam doesnt do refunds a t that point
and SE as a whole doesnt do refunds
Hello
Not my problem, I had a character there and it is ridiculous that you dont keep your 'spot'
Can u drop blue and red torture memories in Azs Lla?
Needed a new name, look etc, fresh look into the game after years
did you own the base game before?
I did
Just year 1
idk the policy for expansions they have though
year one doesnt mean much
steam doesnt really do refunds afaik if you played more than 3h
its 2h or owned more than 2 weeks
oh
i also think year 1 might have been more thjan 2 weeks ago
im not sure how an expansion goes into that since he played hte base game before
doesn't congestion status change depending on how much the world is full at the moment?
you definitely arent getting a refund for the base game though
no its permanently congested
till they change it
No I know, dont care about base game
you can apparently refund dlc though
oh huh, wild
Should be able to, yes!
Nope
yea you shoud be ok then
oh yeah, congested is different than allows creation of new characters
idk how SE takes refunds regarding steam though
cuase generally if you refund (chargeback since they dont actually do refunds afaik on the main site for purchases for the game) on a non steam account you get banned
congested doesn't allow creation, but you can't create on standard status if the servers are too full
yea, the latter normally eases up at like 3 am local time or w/e
it did during the endwalker hype, now it's pretty much normal, at least on my server(omega, not congested)
yea, some servers its still bad so you gotta do it at early morning hours
On loiusoix the queue is around 30 players
Server status only gets changed on maintenance
login queue is not the same as full server queue
what you are seeing is the login queue
Thanks for the explanation
So what does the login queue get its info from?
I think something about not letting too many players log in at once because the servers can't handle it.
people actively waiting to log on to that server
yea something like that too
just wait till like 2 am your time or w/e walker and you can make ea character on the server you want unless it says congested (like leviathan for example, or all of aether LMAO)
But it is kinda weird that I had just logged in on my 'old' character and had a spot in the server, yet I am unable to create a char in its place
does the pvp reward changes implement already?
6.1
okie
all character creation is blocked on that server, doesnt stop the deletion of characters
that's it, you didn't have a spot, you had a character on the server
Oh and guess what, before requesting character restore you have to wait 24h 🤡
to make you learn from your mistakes
to note: you get a Fantasia at the end of ARR so you can update the looks of the character
By that you meant the proper at least typically scheduled maintenance which players can't play during so?
Still they are kind of forcing old returning players to spend more money
That is just bad
Not really?
by needing expansions?
Usually people just play their old character
^
Or make a new one
No by having to make them pay for a character rename or a home world transfer
thats
Yeah like I wanted to do 😉
literally what a lot of mmos charge for
wow also doesnt do that shit free
lost ark isnt gonna do that shit free likely either
Yeah it makes sense, but not when they are fucking this up a lil
You could've done, was no need to delete the other one
yeah definitely not lol
how are they fucking it up a lil?
you're the one who fucked up 
se has had the same systems in place for over 6 years
Yeah so they have had 6 years to upgrade 🤡
same trasnfer system, same name change system, same congested status system
it works fine for most people
They are working on it. There's now world visit system, and if I am not mistaken a data center visit system is on the way.
It's not their fault u assumed u could "keep ur place"
Yeah I am not saying it doesn't
then why would they need to upgrade it?
think the issue was he wanted to be in the same fc as his friends, so that doesnt solve the issue
it doesn't but there are improvements
They could have put a system in place allowing returning players to recreate the char on the same server
but that would defeat the point of the congested server status
And honestly, congestion has been an issue almost every launch as well as some peak times
usually dont need to, since they have a character there
Could have started considering upgrading data centers a while ago
global chip shortage
my attempts to enter the right SE id and password continues. now the code that was sent to my email to confirm the change of password is wrong. what fun!
??????why would they need that, most people dont delete their characters they spend years on (or months on)
most people just roll an alt and leave the other character in place
Only hours were spent on this one...
ok same point stands, most people wouldn't need something like that
then what was the point in deleting it lol
consider this: the global chip shortage is so bad HP had resorted to selling printer cartridges without DRM
You don't have to t ell me t hat, but even before the chip shortage there were congestion issues at times
Could have upgraded back then
From a business point SE just was too late
theres always gonna be congestion issues, but they werent nearly the level that EW saw or aether saw once streamers started playing
they werent able to anticipate things like that
hindsight is 20/20
just make a character then transfer ar few months down the line once its not congested
¯_(ツ)_/¯
just use cwls if you want a group chat
or restore this one, use the free Fantasia from the end of ARR and change the name if it doesn't fit
having more servers wouldn't stop certain worlds from being disproportionately more populated compared to others anyway
Yeah would have been the best solution but I have to wait another 24h now
well you know what they say about patience
And makiing me spend another 14 euro lol
note: you still would have wait for the server not to be full to use the Fantasia, I think
contact sqex, say your friend deleted it maliciously and they might be able to restore the character
depends if its worth it or not to you, not being in the same fc isnt the end of the world if you really wanna play with em you still can
They are in fact able to restore it, but after another 24h waiting period
incorrect
character from the start of ARR at 2013 most likely
I already went through that process and they told me they wont be able to restore my deleted char yet. I have to wait for 24h to pass before they can see it.
Yes this was a char from the start of ARR.
if your goal is to join your friend’s fc, just wait out the 24 hours and get your character back
congested status won’t be changed until 6.1 most likely
so like.. abt 2 months time
Yep that is currently my only option. Here is what the GM sent me:
_Unfortunately, in order for us to fully investigate your case, we would advise you to wait at least 24 hours before submitting your request form as we will be unable to identify any deleted character data prior to this time.
Once 24 hours have elapsed, please visit the character restoration request form on our official Support Centre provided below:
https://sqex.to/Tjs_
then just finish arr and use your free fantasia 
sounds like you have it sorted out then
just changed my password and received a password change notification. for the third time. entered new password in mogstation login. guess what?
How do you get tomestone of poetics ? (Im lvl 52)
is this for a ffxiv account or a square enix account or something. think theyre different
!faq poetics
when you log out in a rested area do you gain rested xp for all of your classes or the one you logged out with?
All
its for your char and just applies it to any xp u get on any class
rested XP is for the character, no class. It's used by classes on first come first serve basis.
so you need to play first on the classes you want to level faster
hellooo anyone know how to remove the header for this kagerou overlay?
where are you atm?
if you didnt start there, msq should take you there through airships
remind me please. does mogstation require my Square Enix main username and password or my ffxiv username and password?
xiv
might be better off asking in teh ACT discord
in that case I am completely flummoxed
limsa lominsa
or how is it called i have no idea
the thing with 2 decks
changed my password three times now and still it is incorrect
https://discord.gg/hK523Pj can ask here
thank you!
eventually the MSQ will send you to the other city states via airships, have you gotten to this part yet
note that you can't use your email to log in to mogstation.
There's an elevator to access those airships at the adventurers place/ the pub
ye my quest is to get there
But on the regular hud if you click on the part below the the quest description it shows where to go on the map
either what Walker said or if you have all the aetheryte (fast travel points) you can use them to just teleport to the airship landing(?) not sure about the name
But you need to attune to all of the aetherytes in the city
which is a good practice the first time you get to a new city
To unlock the airship landing and the other city exits
Which you should be doing anyway
If anything it gives you an excuse to attempt to take in the scenery
so you can exit the city from any aetheryte instead of walking to the exit
@heavy wadi you are a wonder! it never occurred to me to put my email where it says username. I am finally logged back in to Mogstation. what a relief. all I need to do now is enter those details in the launcher.

how to unlock frontline?
me and my friend got access to wolf den already but cannot queue for it
there's a quest at your grand company HQ called "like civilized men and women"
need to do that to unlock frontlines
before i type anything into the launch login screen, should I log out of Mogstation?
is there a way to see which NPC's I haven't beaten in triple triad?
that shouldnt matter
thanks for the info
should I enter my username or email where it asks for my Square Enix ID?
username
ty
you make it in ?
nope. id and password exactly the same as the ones I use to login to Mogstation. game says incorrect
