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.
if you are doing a content that sync you to lv <56 it will turn back to assassinate
oh i see
I can't seem to find the Taking The Black quest to become and Black Mage
Hey guys I recently bought a projection from the store and now I am wondering if I use it will it disappear or is it usable infinitely?
I'm a lvl33 THM in Ul'Dah if it helps
have you done lv 20 msq sylph management?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
For some reason I thought I had done that already but apparently not. All good.
Can I use glamour items over and over again or do they disappear once used?
applying a glamour only consumes the glamour prism
just pop them in your glamour dresser and you can even use them without prisms every time
the gear you glam will remain
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
and yeah, if you think you're gonna be frequently using a piece of gear for a glam, best to put it in the glam dresser and make a glamour plate
that way you don't have to use up a ton of glamour prisms
That helped thanks!
there is no storage right? except retainer
chocobo saddlebag
also small tip the glamour plate interface has a "dispel glamour" button to quickly dispel all glamoured items you currently have equipped (still consumes the appropriate number of glamour dispellers)
I just wrapped the ARR MSQ stuff, should I keep focusing the 2.1>2.55 MSQ til Heavensward or should I focus Poetics until I've got a full i130 set? My main job's at lvl 53 rn if that makes any difference
just do your roulettes every day youll get poetics and do the msq same time
does anyone knows if theres a dictionary specifically for translating ff14 item names? most guide for ff14 are english, and when i try to convert it to my native language its always very difficult
what language?
traditional chinese
oh shit traditional
Question, when do i unlock Ishgard?
after ARR post patches
is there a simplified one? if there is i can use google translate to translate it twice
Is that after Bahamut?
wym after bahamut
Idk what patch im on, i was just wondering if thats after Bahamut
i mean one idea is referencing content from people in the chinese servers
Bahamut isn't part of the msq
Really?
yeah are you talking about coils?
Oh
whats your msq name
Thought he was, mb
their server are behind from global's
i'm aware
Still Waters. Currently
probably not worth doing coils right now, especially in duty finder
long way to go
☹️
i did find a simplified text patch but you'd have to pay for the chinese server sub as well so probably not worth
youre on first quest of 2.2, still have 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.55
☹️☹️☹️
usually what i do is i type it in universalis and convert universalis's language to chinese and then convert to traditional chinese again
do i need to do anything special to spawn or access louhi in pagos? Or can I also just afk in town and wait for people to spawn it for me?
but its kinda a pain if i try to do it many times
honestly i think that's the best you can do for now
How many msq quests are usually in a patch?
until there's a larger chinese-speaking community outside the chinese servers
yea..
i remember ARR patches being chunky but it honestly varies
Just like every other NM it spawns when people kill enough of the mob that spawns it & its respawn timer is up
i started from english but after i realize i had better understanding of the lore in chinese i swap my client to chinese
probably about 15 in arr patches
but marketboard being a pain ever since
Jesus, im gonna be a old man by the time i reach HW
and just like all other NMs you'll be unable to get loot from the fate unless you're within 1 level of it (so for louhi you need to be 34 or higher)
I really wanna get to HW
post arr is really long but the quests around middle - final post arr are pretty important
I see
(the end of post ARR is also pretty good)
i just got to heavansward also
post arr took me and my friends for about six days
without skipping
is GC turnover EXP based on Crafter level or the item level of what is submitted??
where can i find alaimbert of the spiked butt again
Fates outside falcon nest in coerthas western
thank you
there is no visual difference between eureka and physeos weapons right, so I dont need to do BA if i just want the glamour?
no unless you want eureka effect from weapon (if just getting glams it's easier to get the seals/cloth BA drops from MB for body piece since augmenting elemental armour also requires farming BA)

damage buff exclusive to eureka zones
nope, just weapon glamour
if i only have stormblood , will my max level only be 70?
yes
Through dungeons and Trials, if there is another tank who has his stance on, what should i be doing?
Should i also have my stance on?
turn it off
you don't need to turn it off, its just in case the MT explodes so you're next in line, just make sure if you dont want to be MT just turn it off for a bit and then turn it back on when the fight starts
Oh okay
So being an off tank is basically being another dps until the main tank dies or wants to switch?
also, just stand by the tank if you're afraid of getting aggro and cleaving the entire party
the normal practice is you turn it on after you finished your opener
that's how people do it in savage, but in normal trials/raid, people rarely die
p much, yeah
would prefer it if tanks dont switch though, that's a bit messy most especially in DF
and in normal raid/trials, people barely do their rotation right, so even if you turn on stance after your opener, sometimes you still steal enmity
i should probably be doing that more often
there's tank switch content, but not in normal iirc
so I usually just turn it off all the time
just for when i'm doing extremes tho lol
Okay simple enough, ty
either way works fyi
just make sure if you keep stance on in duty finder just stand near the main tank
facing away from the party
I start to panic sometime since im a tank and i sometimes feel like im not doing anything in 8 player dungeons
tbh you're going to boot it in some of the alexes without a switch briefly but honestly speaking it's fine if you die in those
ohh yeah that vuln part
off tank also has some duties like some specific mechanics (mostly in harder content) and always take aggro of adds
Yeah i understand that atleast
even then both tanks can do that but in general catch things that need aggro
Watching Healers run away from adds is kinda pressuring tbh
away? why they running away, their aoes are nearly all centred on themselves lol
not too hard to pull though
they wont die from 4 seconds of getting whammied,, probably
just get aggro and no one has any problems
2 seconds is enough to grab adds
other issues can be thought about after you have aggro
Got it

is jade stoa hard to queue up for ?
can take longer to get in since its not required for the msq so not everyone even cared to unlock it
just na non-peak time
So I’m in HW and I am just wondering when am I gonna be able to fly? Do I have to progress the MSQ or do something else?
To be clear I know I can already fly but how can I fly in the new world of HW?
once you finish the msq in that area in hw + gather all the aether currents
you have to find aether currents in each area
Oh those things you find in the blue quests?
gather meaning the swirly balls of green wind in the open world as well as the aether current quests in the area
quests + the currents scattered on map
Where can I find the ones that are scattered around the world?
using your aether compass
its in Duty -> collection
you can just drag it onto a hotbar and click on it
That’s what it does? Okay thanks so much.
or, the easy way is to get someone drive you around
Prefer to go solo but that works to. 🙂
enjoy exploring the area :3
Um just in case I forget to ask but it is the same for storm blood and the other expansions?
looks like they reduced the number of Aether current for earlier expansions?
Got it thank you. 🙏
yeah just spam your aether compass when you are doing your MSQ and pick up available blue quests before continuing to the next area
pick them up en route to your MSQ objective
Quick question about Gatherer Job Quests. I know you use to be able to turn in HQ items of Gatherer stuff for an xp bonus. Didn't they delete HQ items for gathering? Is there anyway to get an xp bonus for turning in items on gatherer job quests?
The reason it's different for ARR is that flying for ARR was only added very recently. Just last year. Everywhere else, finding 10 aether currents and completing the MSQ for the zone and four additional side quests was required to unlock flying, because that was the initial way to do it. And with this expansion, all older expansion zones had their currents reduced from 10 to 4 to make it even easier.
What is that sign beside that monsters name?
B rank I think?
What does that mean?
It's for. What's it called. Hunt related stuff from the foundation. There's a hunting board outside the pub and you can accept B rank hunt marks for centurion seals
So should I hunt it?
"rare mob" but it doesn't really end up meaning anything
Do I need to do anything first to get the My Little Chocobo quest?
K
blue are passive, red will aggro you, shape doesn't really mean much
aside from the min level
Guys how do I use ten chi jin? I think it's bugged for me or something.
progress far enough in the main scenario aka join a grand company
what would 'high-level' duties imply?
just max lvl content (90) or everything 81-90?
exs and savages
extreme/savage content, if there's no level range you can spam something like garuda extreme unsynced
@ivory crest You can go there and see if it has a mission if you want. ❤️ Paint

Thanks
Question! my gf has been trying to make a new character on Phoenix, for 3 days without luck. We even tried logging in, very early today, however, phoenix was still locked. is there ANY way to make a new character there at all?
Currently congestion status is pretty much locked in from what I hear. We should get an update about the situation with the next liveletter on the 18th
pick one not Congested
What does congested mean? Normally, we could "fix" this, by simply create a character early in the day
Congested is a status SE slaps on worlds they want to balance population away from.
Congested means the server is full and does not allow new characters
Ah
Which sucks because I really wanted to join Gilgamesh world. Such a cool name.
So basically now its, other server, or wait for update about the situation on the 18th?
Pretty much
Damn, well thanks for shining a light on it.
the only thing you cant do is join the same fc
Gotcha, thanks for the tip Vakarian
Is it possible to transfer server in FFXIV?
Should that be desired later on
Depending on server status, yes.
Sure, but thats gonna cost you some real money usually
Cool, thanks for all the help. Have a good day
Status might change with the next upcoming patch. We'll have to wait and see.
wait so if im playing on Ravana, i cant join someone in another server right?
even though we're both on Materia
what type of "join"
you can't join other world free companies but you can make a cross-world party, send friend invites, queue for content together etc
ohhh so we can still play together for dungeons even on another server?
as long as we in the same data center right?
yes
is pumpkin potage like the best now ?
it's used on many jobs, yeah, but not exclusively
also it depends on what BiS you are going for
nope
kk TY Paragon
We don't have off-hand tool and accessories gears for lv 90 DoL? With purple scrips
Unless I'm missing something
is there any job that use 1 hand sword?
paladin

dps?
ok i mean light sword not heavy sowrd
Red mage uses 1h rapiers
only paladin use 1hand sword?
Yes
yeah, just use the emperor new shield
samurai uses a sword but it seems to be two handed

Samurais use 2h katanas yes
can i glamour 1 of them or i am just coping
how do you call NIN's weapon? twin handed?
Dual wielding would usually be the term
you cant glamour 1 sword away on ninja , since they're considered an individual weapon
how glamour work exactly anyway
just apply to individual piece
put the appearance of another piece onto your gear
and only paladin has off-hand soo
Have pretty item with bad stats, have ugly item with good stats, use consumable glamour prism item, now your ugly item looks like pretty item but still has good stats
it doesnt always have to be bad stats
Example
where do i find those prism items
everyone mainly uses glam plates btw since they dont use up glam prisms as much as manually applying it
marketboard, grand company, crafting
Buy them from the market board or craft them yourself
you should be able to buy them at the grand company
i suggest focusing on the main storyline first
just rank up on your GC with your hunting log
u mean the main tutorial quest
its kinda boring rn
if you want a change of pace, feel free
yeah go ahead and level like a weaver or something
the materials to craft prisms are easy to get
i dont know what is gauge or aetherflow? Could someone explain for me?
i play scholar and cannot cast some skills
!action aetherflow
this gives you 3 aetherflow stacks to spend on skills like Lustrate and Energy Drain
!action lustrate
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1 shows that the skill needs aetherflow stacks to be usable
what is the difference between the 3 GC?
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
the link has GC sets to view
so i can only get aetherflow by this skill? does it have another way?
only way to get aetherflow
oh got so bad
There is one more.
EAT YOUR FAIRY
!action dissipation
Orders your faerie away while granting you a full Aetherflow stack. Also increases healing magic potency by 20%.
Duration: 30s
Current faerie will return once the effect expires.
Summon Eos or Summon Selene cannot be executed while under the effect of Dissipation.
Can only be executed while in combat.
Yea eat your fairy 
dissipation does need a bit more thinking though.
nooooo it is so crual
Yea was gonnasay
There's another skill that makes two of the aetherflow skills free while making them do critical healing
!action recitation
Indomitability is an AoE heal, and Excogitation is a delayed single-target heal that automatically triggers once the person its on hits 50% HP or lower, or if the buff duration hits 0
Dissipation is just something you need to think hard about, it does give you a very healthy boost on your healing spells and 3 fresh aetherflow
So it is useful in specific scenarios and is worth retiring your fairy temporarily
The reason why they mentioned it needs thinking, is because your fairy actions are locked out during this period. Apart from the small heal your fairy gives
Does having better gear help with ocean fishing?
that fairy is tinker bell. we should not eat her
The text says that we order the fairy away
Afaik no. Having levels helps in getting rare fish and higher score because of your abilities tho
Catch rate wise don't think gear affects. Also one other thing is better gear = more GP = more abilities
gear does technically help
since better gear, higher gp
that said, don't really need to keep your gear absolutely up to date can be lazy while leveling
Yea mb I realised that immediately 
Quick question
Are gunbreaker and warrior both about the same difficulty they were in sbb or did either get harder with new tools or easier with retroactive traits
Anything labelled as a "Weaponskill" is a GCD
Aight good
Half of drgs kit is ogcds by 90. The gcds are basically filler while ogcds come up
Warrior is vastly easier than Gunbreaker.
I should use my ogcds in between gcds right
It simply has a lot less damage buttons to press compared to GNB
For sure. But like gunbreaker didn't get easier or harder, and warr didn't get harder than before?
From what I hear others talk about GNB, it got worse/jankier
Double Down and Continuation working on Burst Strike adds more bloat to their burst combo
Two main things, imo
Oh. Thats a shame. I'll apply for statics as war/drk then if they need a tank. I already was barely vibing with shb gnb
One, as said, Continuation is an oGCD you need to press immediately, so it might affect you weaving your other abilities
yeah if you didn't like GNB in SHB due to their excessive weaving, that didn't improve
Two, you have a skill that gives you three charge of cartridge and no mercy doesn't last long enough to let you squeeze everything neatly under it
One is a pretty big core issue
I see. Thank you!
I dont mind weaving since I play melee dps usually but gnb just had too many ogcds and when they drifted I wanted to sprint into the nearest wall
If you cannot deliver consistent double weave, you will not have a smooth experience playing GNB
It is not like other tanks don't do it
But GNB just seems to have more
Also this is probably beaten to death by now but all 4 tanks are savage competitive yeah? Are any like pre-6.08 paladin tier still
I know they're all playable I just don't want to be the reason we have like a .3% wipe lol
your job won't be the reason for a .3% wipe
a .3% is someone either fucking up mechanics or their own rotation, not a specific job being lower dps than others
After the buffs thats probably right, for tanks anyway. Only a ~200 dps gap (4%) between the highest and lowest performers
Yup I'm just thinking long term avoiding as many edge cases as possible. But there's probably so few theres no point worrying about it
Unless I decide to play phys ranged and have to decide between bard and mch 
Those edge cases never happen
Cause again, if it wipes at that low it's someone's rotational fault or poor uptime management/mechanics
or crit rng kappa

Stupid question but what do you get for doing savage trials?
Extremes have high ilvl weapons that help in savage and mounts mainly
OK are the mounts and weapons a drop?
Yes
Mounts are rare drops
All exs drop a weapon coffer and 1 random weapon to help gearing (except the 1 trial that drops accessories for that expansion)
Ty
Would it be recommended to use a tank swap macro?
/ac [Tank Stance]```
and
```/ac [Tank Stance]
/ac Provoke <t>```
Action lines repeated, of course
the mounts are a 100% drop, but its more about the fight than it is about rng
The tank stance line is to turn it off
Or should you still have it on after Shirking?
Stance should never go off
Ohhh ok ok. So it's basically just Shirk and Provoke. No macro needed unless you wanna notify the party
People only really macro the shirk since it involves targetting another person
But not necessary
is the strife set a reward for subbing?
Having tank stance off somewhere wouldn't be the worst idea, if there's a gear disparity between tanks
Even in my static I've seen our tank aggro off the other one again after doing a swap
Then they need to up their game
You're not wrong but you can't always count on other people being perfect
Maybe just have a second macro for stance off if its a problem in that specific party
Otherwise keep on yeah
If you're doing content when you need swaps then it's Base line to expect people know how to do their jobs
In ARR after praetorium iirc.
Heavensward onward you need to collect aether currnts
also some blue quests need to be done to get aether currents
Yeah but, why
If im done with that zone
(Heavensward)
Cus that's the system.
No
ARR is exception to the rule because ARR originally didnt have flying
flying was designed that to get it, you need to complete a set of open world currents plus quest currents
and generally the last quest current is the last msq in that zone
And instead of retroactively adding currents to ARR, they just gave it to us for free
how to win leap of faith
also when will my friend lander blazer be able to get the free trial
how exactly do i provide help in restoring the firmament
gather items in the diadem, get them approved, use them to craft restoration recipes and turn those in
ahh that's how. i still need to have a lvl 10 gatherer
you don't have to gather the mats yourself, that is just the least expensive way of going about it
you can buy the approved mats from the marketboard
My friend cann't afford buying the game can he make account with my code so we can play togather?
- know when to run and when to walk
- no idea
No
Only 1 account per code?
correct
I mean. I don't know about ff14 in particular but I know sharing an account is a bannable offense in some games.
Account sharing isn’t okay here either
Yeah makes sense
I have a weird question.
U have something like microsoft letting u install 2 windows in 2 pcs with 1 code
MSQ/Story-wise, is the PC the one who clears the dungeons, or are the party-members included in it?
Yes
@vestal lark your best bet would be to wait until the 25th of february. Free trial accounts can play at that time, so you can do the story up to the first expansion
solo until a later point in time
Is it confiremd that ft back in 25 feb?
So is it only in Alliance-raid-bits that Adventurers are acknowledged? Or do you mean "Later in another expansion"?
Yes
No
I have no idea where the feb 25th number is coming from 
Same
Came from me.
That doesn't sound legitimate.

No, it is not confirmed.
you'll know when you see it later
Now I'm scared.
Leaks?
That’s not how that works
The party members are canon, they're usually called ur "adventuring friends"
There are no leaks. That person's talking out of their ass, as far as I can tell. They've said nothing about when the trial will resume.
Ah, okay. I figured that was the case; seeing as doing the work of four people seemed a bit off. xD

Well, 4, 8 and more.
Aye. They sometimes take the piss out of it like with npcs commenting on ur friends being nearby fishing (iirc?)
“Your primal slayin fishing buds”
it's sometimes tongue-in-cheek or a little hard to justify
How can i tell what patch im currently on in MSQs?
Let me ask my friend where they got the free trial info from.
but there is no instance where we "canonically solo" a group duty
Does every hunt in a train drop 1 anthocluster and 1 dendrocluster?
You get an achievement with the name of the patch every time you finish a patch's worth of MSQ
Look up the quest, it has the patch numbers
after you complete a patch you get an achievement called the same as the patch
its not a 100% chance but its pretty high
I feel like its a bit higher than 50% chance but then again I might just be getting lucky.
i mean if you're doing a train, you're going to end up with a decent chunk of clusters
13 marks~ give or take, with 50% chance on each one
13?
er 12 sorry
its 36 on my dc
math is hard
each instance can spawn hunts
you're not always going to have the instances
really? when did they go away in shb?
that and trains usually do "instance x only" because its triple the work to scout them all out
sometimes get lucky with a full 3 instances train but those are far and few between
on primal it was always full 3 instance trains
Either way, 36 is for a full train is not the norm
on crystal its always 3
with classic primal hunt conductor drama
ive never seen a instance only one
guess i get unlucky with trains
we're past that over here tankfully. we had a bad bout of it tho in december
but as i said, i'm not thinking about trains with instances because they're not going be around for the full expac
on aether we did 1.5 instances
suppose your experience will vary by DC/world
in light it's all 3 instances (on twintania at least)
actually, I should say on gilgamesh
Because no one could server transfer for a while after launch kek
Is it possible to relocate right now ?
I've got friends willing to buy my medium, but apparently relocating isn't possible anymore
How are the queues for POTD 50-61? I'm still newish and don't have squadrons unlocked (leveling rogue right now)
everyone runs 51-60 so queues shouldn't be THAT bad
I still wonder why no one goes past that to run 61-70 and then reset because 61-70 is even easier 
is the bonus exp to lv80 only available on OCE now? or other data centers also have?
Just OCE
kind of ffxiv related question - I can't use f2 f3 f4 etc to target party members because my computer uses those for other things (like opening internet explorer) does anyone know how i can get it to prioritise input relevant to the game over computer functions? i know i can change the binding but those keys are pretty convenient
Yes, it just doesn't bypass the invisible timer
So you're spam clicking like anyone else
It doesn't bypass the invisible timer anymore ?
.
Bruh then what's the point
Hi! I was thinking of playing Astrologist/scholar as I wanna focus on a healer role, but I am not sure if they are the best choices for that. I don't want something too difficult either so I'm not sure what the best choice would be. Anyone got any advice?
Is carrying a thing in this game? I've been in queue with 0 players found for 30 minutes on 11-20 of potd z.z
Ngl that sucks like for real guess I won't be able to sell it
Scholars are perfectly fine
So is astro
Oh thank you, are they both as good as each other? As I am stuck between them both.
Balance exists in the game
all the healers are fine.
Yes
play whatever you want
To the surprise of many mmo players, the Devs know how to balance things
I will probably choose purely on aesthetics then lol, thank you for the advice :)
Is there a way to remove someone from a PF post with KupoBot? My FC has a scheduled raid tonight, but one of our members was removed and I need to open a spot in the run.
Ask in the kupo bot discord?
is this the current tincture grade?
Yes
thx

does money matter in this game except for glamour? like do i need alot of money to get good gears
No
You don't need any gil to get good gear.
Money is the lazy man way to get stuff
There's endgame currency exclusively used for buying endgame gear.
Money is basically so you can get yourself a house and furnish it.
gil is always helpful to have for a variety of things, but never required in large sums
msq gives you like 3-4 mil just for story
i see, thats alot of money
at least , im not gated by money for endgame gear
This game respects your time.
And doesn't want you to have to make extreme efforts to get endgame gear.
Or break your personal piggybank open for it.
What extreme sb trials give mounts
All of them
I have been lied to
About?
someone told me some of them don't give doggos
Technically that is true.
Yeah 1
Couldve said only Rathalos doesn't give one lol
But it does give a mount
I meant doggo
Should have made yourself clear then 
Well teleporting
Raid food and pots add up in savage too
im still far from endgame stuff
you don't need money to get BiS equipment
havent finished heavensward yet
that all comes from drop
You don't need to save gil for endgame, if that's your concern.
Use it as you see fit.
yeah im just using it for glamour now, thats probably the endgame
It is
but some stuff is expensive
The true endgame.
Some of my glams use pure white and jet black dyes...
!market Light general purpose jet black dye
Gdi
Needs the hyphen
@vestal lark your best bet would be to wait until the 25th of february. Free trial accounts can play at that time, so you can do the story up to the first expansion
@fleet steppe im free trial and ive been playing since 12/25 and never stopped
Not sure where that Feb. 25 date is coming from either. As of this point in time we don't know when free trial downloads will be available again.
That’s not what they meant
They’re talking about new trial accounts
lol yeah i dont think my friend read whatever it is that they were reading correctly kekw
the only thing that I see on the 25th is a hotfix that makes it so that pvp is no longer accessible by ft
lol I just associate sprouts with ft dont @ me
Yeah they've said nothing about restarting the trial.
When in doubt check #lodestone-news-na.
I mean, the Materia DC was added on January 25, but there's been nothing about the trial
The PVP thing was last year
The latest announced date for anything this year is the upcoming Live Letter on the 18th
If you want to stretch it there's the end of the valentines event on the 21st iirc
just entered pyros for the first time, and the mobs are alot harder than in pagos, I'm having trouble chain killing mobs one level above me (I notice I'm missing quite a bit)
am i missing something or is it just like that
Anyone knows what's the dps check for ex2?
Pyros is when logos actions were introduced and it starts to expect some use of them. I think wind type mobs start having naturally increased evasion
oh wind true i was killing wind mobs
Killing the boss is the dps check. You can do it with the whole party in 560 tomestone gear because it's designed that way.
It's not particularly tight.
Not compared to Savage, at least.
That's just one of the alt ground sit poses for Fem Miqo
Just /cpose while sitting
Use /cpose
woah u can cpose sitting? dang
Mhm
what else does cpose work on
Both ground and chairs yes
besides idle and sit
oh
Stand, sit and weapons out
Oh yeah, weapon idle too
oh neat. seems weapon only has 2 variations tho
Depends on gender and class.
do EW quests give accessories?
do you know at about what level?
Gear reward usually carry through even levels of the MSQ
So you'll get weapons > body gear > accessories
ive got 3 sets of different ilvl coffers for gear but no accessories
The accessories are usually from sidequests I think
At least thats the case in stormblood
damn
I know you get at least some from MSQ. I used a few of them for level 86-88
the last dungeon has a requirement of 540
Usually the early levels won't because the gear you get from dungeons is the same or worse than the final gear from the previous expansion.
You won't get locked out.
but you get 6 pieces of 560 gear at level 89 so u should be fine
i got only left side poetics gear though right side is from some dungeons and one of them is ilvl 405
You can get to the last dungeon with item level 530
I was still using mostly Cryptlurker accessories in the final dungeon of EW.
I think I had one dungeon accessory from the level 85 dungeon
yeaeah but i dont even do roulettes
Yellow quests sometimes give accessory coffers
Roulettes give about 1200 poetics per day, without first time bonuses.
oof
if no roulettes then u might get locked out towards then end.
whats your current il
Just not until later.
think its like 518
You're fine
oh
Don't even worry about it.
That honestly shouldn't be necessary.
Yeah probably not but just in case
Just grab your class gear when it's offered, and equip any dungeon accessories you manage to get.
in shb i played the whole thing until last dungeon with stormblood poetics gear bc recommended items wasnt taking the gear out of my inventory and then got stuck bc i sold all the gear 😦
yeah im not making that mistake again 😅
yeah shb had a pretty big bump between highest il of previous expac and item level for final dungeon but again they gave you full 430 left side and weapon in shb so u just had to get right side
is there a way to get all the class gear from the level 50 quest?
you should get a coffer
Like for miner I could only get the hat, when theres other gear
Oh
oh yeah
rowenas rep limsa uldah or gridania
I couldn't understand that 
theyre near the main aetheryte. you can buy the gear for scrips
white gatherer scrips
If it's white quality gear, you can get it on the market board or make it yourself. If it's blue quality, you can buy it from a special vendor for "endgame" currency (scrips)
Scrips are the crafter/gatherer equivalent of tomestones.
whats a tomestone
Endgame currency for DoW/DoM
the lv50 set from the gathering/crafting quests is crafted gear
endgame? isn't there like 3 more expansions after arr
though you can also get it from scrips, but that said unless you want it for glam its not that great and its easier to just push to 51 and grab the vendor gear
currency you get for doing level 50/60/70/80 dungeons, trials, and raids
"Endgame" refers to content released for level caps - 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90
as soon as u unlock the tempest in ShB, assuming i did my role quests to 80, i can get the 80 class gear right?
No
There's a little more MSQ
50 is the arr cap? but why can I still get exp
oh so u have to finish the MSQ before u can get the class gear?
Because the overall level cap is 90
Or 60 if you're on trial.
So you'll keep leveling, even if you're not progressing through the MSQ content.
not finish, just progress it to a certain point
cap is 90 gotcha
Is there any way to remove insta spell animations? Like when i pvp i cant get correct timings for my cc's cuz of cast animations
It takes like 1 sec to catch an enemy
u can remove spell animations in general...dunno about specific ones tho
Right. Level cap is 90 for the game as a whole right now. But each expansion had its cap. During ARR, the level cap was 50, so content designed for level 50 classes is "ARR endgame"
Its 2 much
though i think pvp is special and u cant disable things
there is always a .7s of animation lock regardless of skill
That's how the game works as a whole
Pretty sure the spell animation disable is universal. I didn't have any issues in PvP the couple of times I went in, and I've got my spell effects on "Limited" for party and "Don't Show" for everyone else.
can I use astronomy to buy tradeable items ?
Final got slower gcd than wow so the animations are longer and have locks. its just how it is
No
😦 ok
hes talking about the animation lock, not vfx

additionally, invluns like hallowed ground also snapshot late, so keep that in mind
6.2 well that sounds reaally far away
Oh. Yeah. That's a skill problem then. lol
snapshot more like 500ms ping
it is far away
4-5 months, yeah.
welcome to xiv pvp enjoy your stay
Then speed hack kappa
you dont want someone to use 10 ogcds on you in 10 ms
Kekw
Whats the relation
I cant get it
no animation lock = spam ogcds in small time frame
so when it becomes tradeable (6.2?) we will have a new capped tomestone instead so you'll be able to buy items that are currently obtainable using aphorism ?
Aphromism will be gone
In 6.2
Completely
There's always 1 uncapped tome and 1 capped.tome
Aphorism gear becomes buyable with hunt currency
And they cycle out each tier
oh it's with the release of new tier, I see
Aphromism and Astro gear will be buyable with hunt currency when they cycle out
Leaving the final two gear sets to turn into poetics when the expansion hits
no
Thus the forumla cycle continues, praise be
aphorism will roll up into astronomy
^
ah im thinkin about rev and allegory mb
expansion? 😛
tomestones roll down into poetics when a new expac releases
i thought endwalker was the final xpac
current end-game tomestones roll up into the higher "tier" when a new raid tier releases
no
that has never been said
They said multiple times it's not
theres 10+ years of content being planned
Explicitly
10+ ? lol ok
yoshi-p has basically said that he will work on 14 for as long as he possibly can
Ya think that when yoshi-p retires they'll make a new mmo?
they already have the money for a sequel, i'm sure
theyd probably keep working on the game, unless if it became too outdated
14 has raked in billion(s)
Yeah
Not talking profit really just money in total
which is probably gross unless im mistaken
That's se as a whole
Revenue and profit are two very different things
Well I imagine 14 is their main money maker tbh
😬
very likely, yeah
It probably contributes over half of the revenue tbh
nah thats too much
in 6.1 I'll be able to augment crafted gear to 590, right? what currency will be the cost for that, Astronomy tomes?
Aphorisms likely
augmented exarchic used allegories so i would assume that they would use aphorisms but my crystal ball is broken so i cant say for sure
great, thxs
will any of the weekly limited stuff be unlimited in 6.1? like normal and/or savage raids drops, or anything?
The 24man
asking to know more options to reach ilvl 600 in 6.1
The gear and item to buy upgrade mats will be weekly locked
unless you do savage you're probably not gonna hit 600 in 6.1
the only use for that will be to get weekly coins to augment Radiant, right?
And 590 gear for alts
normal mode will unlock with 6.1 (barring the weapon token)
And glam and story and music and minions
oh, yeah, all that too, I was asking more for ilvl purposes
how's that exactly? Alliance raid drops will be 590?
Yes
Alliance drops will be 590
Just like any other 24man dropped gear
with any limit, or I can farm that?
One piece of armor per week
Weekly
Left side only
Will alliance raid drop too accesories and weapon, or only gear?
only armor
only armour
.
-_-
New crafted gear will be il610 dont worry about it
That's not til 6.2
Wtf are you on about
is it normal i can't solo stormblood trials ||suwano and tsukuyomi|| and shadowbringers trials ||hades|| on ex ??
thats the next tier right?
Yes
Yes
6.2 isn't until august at least.
yes lmao
Sus and Tso will be unsoloable until you can one shot them in like 20s
Yeah. when next savage comes out, youll be able to do savage with crafted. I don't think alliance raid would be il600 requirement.
how will i oneshot them if the dmg buff is 60% ☹️
but 590 weapon will still cost 500 astronomy, besides the 7 tokens, right?
tsuku is literally impossible to solo because of mechanics, same with susano and his clashing mechanic.
Wrong again
try when you're level 150
You don’t
Wait until you're lv130
Min ilevel for p8s will be 610
Or whatever
yeah. and crafted would be il610
aaaa so i can only do arr and hw jajaja
the next set
you can solo all of the STB trials on EX
except sus and tsu
With 25% echo so not real worth to farm it like that
oh then ig it was bad luck i got both on wondrous tails
Just make a PF
i will try in the evening, how many people would i need?
Like 4 or something
oh
tsu will need at least 3
They don't design trials to be soloable
what'll be alliance raid ilvl to enter?
435 was puppets bunker so 15 below the crafted il at the time so apparently only 565 if i had to guess
thxs
Is purple scrip gear worth it? Seems CP melds are more important
with panda tokens and the fact they give you 560 gear getting into alliance will be easy if you're just doing weekly stuff
ew spoiler
||in the msq quest when the forum announces the exodus and you go to your room, do you actually get to choose who knocks on your door or did I just happen to pick the right answer?||
You choose.
is there a way to see them all? or are they mostly the same dialogue
youtube probably has them as well
is there a way to change the mouse settings when clicking and dragging things? i would rather have it drop the icon when i release the button, rather than requiring a second click to swap icons
it makes inv management feel clunky
It's probably somewhere in cursor management in System Configuration.
hm i think im just trippin
sometimes it works like that, sometimes it doesnt
ill get used to it
you can drag and drop, but if you single click then move you need to click again
It sounds like your mouse is using the controller default setting somehow.
it should be if you hold it it will drop when you release, you may have a double click when you press that cancels that and turns it into click to grab, click to release
or also if you drag but drop it on one of the gaps (not an inventory slot) you will need to click to place it in a slot

Unending journey to rewatch the cutscene
I wasn't sure if it was there or not because I couldn't remember if the choice part was part of a cutscene or not.
They are
whats unending journey xd
Everyone was psaing that during launch
The journal in the inn room
Inn book to rewatch cutscenes
i thoguth that was new game +
It's been two months since launch. You think I remember what people were saying that long ago?? XD
Unending journey is a theatre to rewatch cutscenes
is there anything added by watching the other versions?
No
They all have different dialogue
so they just say the same thing
Just the satisfaction of having seen them
is it meaningfully different in any way
There's no functional difference
There's a lot of extra character to be found
But it won't change the story at all
alright i might check em out
There’s also changes based on quest progress
what exactly is this for? i dont think ive ever used minion in battle
Lord of vermilion
a gold saucer minigame
It’s a very rough RTS
how comes during dungeons sometimes it doesnt show that i get exp in chat and during other dungeons i get exp or when i kill a monster for eg gridania?
for dungeons, xp only comes from bosses as of endwalker
they compiled all the dungeon xp and split it between dungeon bosses
ahhh thanks

how or where do i get a Zenit weapon for the ARR relic quest?
so i need to level a job?
is there a button that makes you move non-stop until you turn it off ?
R
You need to level whichever job you want to create a relic weapon for, yes.
However jobs that didn't exist in ARR don't have relics, so just be aware of that.
hi!
is there a way to enter doungens solo? i am waiting for over 20 minutes to join sastasha to be able to progress my mainquest
the dungeon does not scale to how many players are in the party
you'll just have to be patient and wait in duty finder
alright so if i cant find a group to enter the doungen and i cannot solo it either.... how is a new player supposed to even play this game
Roulettes mean that old content will eventually pop
If you don't want to wait in queue play on the Role In Need
In most cases it's a Healer or Tank in need
Can help somewhat
I should update those pictures
a question regarding the ARR beast tribes: if I rank up, do I get extra daily quests just like in the case of the other beast tribes from the other expansions?
no
ARR beast tribes don't work like the expansion ones
As there are a total of 9? iirc dailies you can do once you get high enough
My only experience are the ixals but the ixals are vastly different
so the extra set of dailies for them is kind of moot
ixalis for the most part function fairly similar to how the other tribes work
when it comes to the dailies tbh
so ranking up with the kobolds don't give like 3 extra quests
the only major exception is how much rep you have to go thru for ixali, and they have one extra daily thing in the deliverance turn in
depending on what rank you are, you may unlock the 2nd or 3rd daily npc
well first rank rn and tomorrow I will hit 2nd
think you'd unlock teh 2nd daily npc then
its been a really long time since i've done ARR beast tribes so don't quite remember what rep ranks unlock the next npc
When levelling DoH from 50 to 90, how expensive does it get
depends on how you're going about leveling, and your datacenters' marketboards if you're buying mats
it can be cheap to very high all depends on the method
if you're gathering your own materials, the main cost is going to be time
if you're buying from the marketboard, can be very costly
Is there a crafting macro builder/exporter of some sort?
Teamcraft
or just doing beast tribe its free exp but limited due being a daily
Is it possible to separate my own "buffs" or abilities from buffs that are given from party members
nope
guys what is the name of this set?
obsolete android's aiming set
it's from Tower at Paradigm Breach, 3rd SHB alliance raid
taht or striking
in a case where you Corpse-a-corpse and disengagement on Mage does it have to be single weaved because of distance time?
yeah
backstep- yeah
corps a corps, iirc no
Hey guys I'm playing Monk and just got Anatman but I don't understand it. Can someone explain it? I've seen old guides about it being basically useless but I can't find any new guides on if it's better and how it works
it is kinda shit tbh , when a boss is doing RP or charging a attack use antman to keep up twin snakes thats it sadly
Cause you want to resume hitting stuff with dragon kick into true strike
it's a gain to keep twin snakes up when you get the boss returns so use it when you can
I used it in dungeons between pulls to flash it to refresh Twin snakes to maintain it for the boss after trash
Okay that makes sense. Thanks guys!
But it's pretty niche
anatman is basically useless in 98% of situations
while you got sam meditation giving more benefits when you can use it
when CAN i use sam meditation?
so mostly for raids?
in any fight where the boss goes away
A bunch of EW dungeons have bosses with downtime.
pretty much some bosses like the lvl 85 for ew you can get a decent charge while in the air
good examples are
ew trials/EX - Phase Changes
P2S - Numbers
P3S - Boss swoop
i see, thanks!

what is some cheap lvl 70 ish gatherer armor?
ok

Is there a way to limit the download speed of the official installer
I just lost my entire drive to corruption so I’ve gotta reinstall the game
My pc tends to steal all the bandwidth and my dad needs that for work
If I buy the game on steam can I use my se account on it
No official launcher & steam are incompatible
can't swap between steam and non-steam, no
Hey everyone. Anyone here know enough BLU to help me out a bit? Or are there other people working on BLU and want to team up?
Do you have a specific question?
That’s lame
several... But yes.

Time to suffer more
