any of the scrip exchange npcs.
the one in idyllshire only has 58 and 60
Hiii random question and it's not really a big deal but I was just wondering if it's possible to clear closed issues on the report history or do they permanently stay there and build up?
I am at around 56, working at getting to 60. What BLU spells should I have by now to function, basically. My TTK an at-level mob is way too high.
Because Idyllshire isn’t lvl 70
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Unlocking Radz-at-Han's House of Splendors (Radz-at-Han x11, y9)
okay rhalgrs it is then
Once you unlock a scrip house, you can buy their stuff at all previous vendors
You can get by with a minimum of spells, honestly. High damage fast-casts like Sharpened Knife are useful though.
And Song of Torment can help since it's a dot.
You can relatively easily get the primal spells solo
Sharpened knife is big damage when couple with something like faze
I managed Ifirt, can't seem to do any of the others.
You can go grab Choco meteor for open world
Get some friends, do the instances synced. You're guaranteed to learn them that way.
When you hit 60, grab a party to do Pharos Sirius (Hard) for Aetherial Mimicry as well
That will majorly buff your damage if you've got dps mimic on.
That's the hard part.. Returner. FC disbanded, friends that got me back into the game are working on ARR and we all know how long that'll take.
Just start a PF
People will join to get the spells themselves, or just to help out.
It doesn't have to be all BLU anymore either.
Sorry, PF?
Party Finder
I hadn't been thinking about the Party Finder.
It's definitely worth it in order to get some of the BLU spells.
Particularly the Trial ones.
I'd also make sure you have Basic Instinct.
That will help for soloing dungeons.
Doesn't work in open world, but it's god tier for instances.
I mean, you can always just go through the spellbook and hit up the instances that you're missing spells for one at a time.
I think the big thing I'm missing is the Primal Spells, but with PF I think I will have a better chance in getting them.
Do you get drops from trials if they are unrestricted and level synched?
Yes, because the drops are from chests.
But you have to do the instance synced - not unrestricted - if you want 100% learn rate on the spell.
Doesn't it need to be unrestricted enter as BLU?
Not if you have a full party.
Unrestricted is just if you want to go in with an undersized party or solo.
For the 100%, you need to be able to queue it without any changes to your DF settings.
you can go in solo and still get 100% for blue mages by using the unrestricted + level sync option
Oh, did they make it that level sync alone works? I didn't realize that was part of the change.
I always just got a full party together.
yes that's part of the point of the level sync option for duty finder options
is to be able to go in solo while still being sync'd
What's the best way to farm tomestones at level ~60?
small (likely stupid) question, if I buy a SMN level skip, that does make my SCH lvl 80 but I only need to do its job quests for the skills right ?
Yes
Cool cool, was thinking that's the case but a friend told me it doesn't work if you buy a skip
you'll need to actually unlock it + do the job quests
but it will be the same level as your summoner yes, they both share arcanist xp
yea that's what I was expecting
are there any oure white canes that are level 50 or lower
Is it better to get the purple scrip tools or HQ chondrite?
depends on what your goal is. if you're fairly serious about end-game crafting/gathering, HQ crafted with melds is better
but if you're more casual/gather every now and then, purple scrip tools are fine
What sort of crafts necessitate the extra cp melds chondrite tools offer?
the master craft recipes
full purple scrip (with no melds in accessories) doesn't even meet the min craftsmanship/control requirements for classical
You can buy pure white dye, and dye your cane

with food/melds you would meet it but even so still better to have a melded HQ crafted set if your main intention is to do serious end-game crafting
Dumb question but how do you turn off the aggro off the Training dummy? xD
right click the dummy
Ty
Is there any chart that says which ILV corresponds to each level? Also up to which ILV I can get crafted gear?
!faq gearguide
highest ilvl crafted gear would be 580 currently
with ilvl 600 (605 for weapons) the highest overall
Is crysta used only for subscription?
can also buy stuff with it in the store
mounts, outfits, emotes... that sort of thing
Can you get the companion app premium with it?
If you want help, I'd recommend joining the BLU Academy Discord Server.
They have a channel where you can ask for help recruiting for synced dungeon and trial runs to earn spells.
no idea but I would assume so, it's kind of a universal currency for anything XIV
I’m on the store and it doesn’t have that option for it
in the app you mean? then I guess no
Mog station
Joined and thank you!
I bought it for no reason 😩
which sucks, but at least you can still spend it on drip
Is the saigaskin time worn map a party treasure map?
No
No
whats a good way to earn gil,
i just finish heavenward
Do all of your daily roulettes (with the adventurer-in-need bonus for your role, if possible).
I see someone posted a BLU server just above, I was wondering if there's something like that for BLM?
and what about selling stuff?
!faq balance
Get the role for your job
It depends on market trends for your server.
oh
Ay has anyone else had trouble when downloading the game?
Like its mad slow and I'm not sure why, I got a new laptop so I could play it on the go but its downloading at like 4 mbs and will take 300 min
alright, so say someone were to say "give me all your gil and I'll buy you this thing" could they be banned if they don't uphold their deal? 🤔
You can report for scamming Yes if it's written in game
I see I see, thanks
Iirc no?
Hey guys im lvl 32 and I just completed the mission 'For Coin and Country' for the immortal flames, when or how do I receive my mount? (second post because I posted it in the wrong channel earlier)
!faq mounts
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Oh its a different quest from the main, thank you!
Should I keep my firestarter proc for movement, or dump it in fire phase for damage? (When manafont is down) lvl 90
Keep it but use it before leaving fire
ty
can I turn in lvl 90 botanist collectibles to level my lvl 81 miner?
No
each gatherer has its own set of collectables
Is it possible to use a usb keyboard (piano keyboard) for manual bard performances?
When is the V-Day barding coming again?
It’s available now
Oh! Okay. Where does it start?
go to old gradania's ampetheater
Huh, again? Thanks, will do.
guys i have trubble with glamour plates
Can’t glam higher level gear onto lower level, role restrictions still apply
And you’re wearing?
The gear you’re wearing isn’t lvl 77, that’s what I mean
Can’t make stuff look better than it really is
one very easy optimization to do on black mage is save firestarter proc
and then use it with transpose after re-entering fire phase
like this
⬛

^
ltitle known fact is that if you use fire 3 in ice phase it does way less damage than it should
this is better than using it at the end of fire phase as a dump
yep
astral fire 3 F3P + f3 from ice is less damage surprisingly
only works with f3p tho
there are some optimizations you can do with transpose and no f3p
some cases with swift/triple f3 or even hardcasting f3 after transpose can end up in a gain
but at that point just go read the BLM sweaty doc for more info
At what level do you unlock ARR beast tribes?
They become available Around 40 or so
thank you!
kk
to clarify, the AF1 F3P is on average stronger pps than using the proc in AF3, AF3 F3P is technically more damage
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17ODMgVbGQbPIWIVxGSUByH3XzD1bS9MOo0eu6tpKS-k/edit#gid=772715780 Is there anything like this for DPS jobs as well? i want to level my machinist but i dont know which gear parts i have access to make the best dps mix
for squadron recruits that have multiple challenge logs conditions listed, do you have to complete every challenge log in order for them to spawn, or can you spawn, for example, awayuki doing only guildhest challenge logs while avoiding levequests and grand company ones completely? https://i.imgur.com/MTQOUnv.png
any log listed can spawn them
but each log category can only spawn 1 recruit at a time
so for example, if you do only guildhest logs and got some other recruit
you cannot get awayuki from guildhest logs until you dismiss the other recruit
but you can get awayuki from another category
dismiss from the recruit applications? or dismiss from your team entirely
dismiss from recruit apps
Are there meta recruits?
when they are in your team it doesn't matter anymore
All the recruits are the same, just visually different
Mainly the gold saucer ones have a special outfit
there's Jaha's gear planner (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16Yj5eq1542hqmGByUZAxVV9mD7zxqv0bOOGg5o0XyPo/edit#gid=1423892105) which supports a few different jobs (not MCH though), some jobs also have their own gear spreadsheets as well over on the balance. Though notably they tend to be more specifically for max level
not really but if you want to do command dungeons then there's only 2 DPS classes that are even remotely good
anything that isn't arcanist or archer is a shit dungeon DPS
And what are thoseee
the melee AI sucks and won't hit your target most of the time
and that's really just because they have access to aoe skills
you can also freely respec your recruits to whatever class you want
As a tank who’s recently started playing dragoon, how do I stop falling off the map pls help
so in the end the recruit themselves don't matter
it had to be machinist thats not in it right? 
Go into the bosses hitbox to elusive away
just don't backflip?
To avoid falling off
mind your placement
But they’re so cool
also generally it's better to walk out of the aoe and then backflip back in
instead of backflipping out
Wait, you can backflip forwards
Also, it's often more useful to step out of attacks so you can maintain melee uptime than it is to backflip out, so if you can sidestep and step back in, do so.
By turning around

or just hit S and walk towards the camera for a split second
Rotate 180 degrees
Backflip is relative to your character's back, so if you spin your character around, they flip the other way
what I like to do is jump, turn in the air, then backflip forward
ah, looks like MCH has their own sheet on the balance. Again for max level, but yeah: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sw8s6py29G2lIG7mBn-H2yGaFPQ2Y2VKnxHgRlT2ycs/edit#gid=62746894
so this way you preserve your forward momentum
Also keep in mind that flipping doesn't actually take you off the ground
It's just an animation
your hitbox is glued to the ground, so if it runs across an AoE when that AoE snapshots, you will still take the damage
and it also means you can't do things like backflip over fences
which is super lame
Ae, what! I didn’t know that!
Yeah, I found that out when I tried to backflip off a cliff rise onto someone's house
and I teleported to the bottom and slammed into their fence
It’s why Drg used to floor-tank, from what I’ve been told
could i just go off the bard set? it should be kinda similar at least in the gear pieces effectiveness right?
Like on Titan
I wouldn't recommend it, no.
how do you make money from the diadem?
Kind of. "floor-tank" in this context simply means you spend a lot of time dead. In Titan's map specifically, when you step off the arena edge you "fall", but that falling is an animation that plays once you step past the edge. If you use the DRG or the RDM backflip skill to flip over the edge, you immediately end up on the bottom because of your skill animation already playing.
Get material, sell material
why does cunning materia vii sell for more than ix?
does it have a higher meld chance?
Are there any hunt-link shells up on materia yet?
ye 
Higher meld chance, more popular since ix is harder to get in bulk and will overcap on stats
does overcapping do anything bad? how is it any worse than just capping?

It's just wasted stats
is it worth it to read all of arr dialogue? because im getting really bored of this game and ppl say its better after arr but i dont know how much longer i can push for
you can skim as long as u get the basic idea
unless ur a lore freak u don't have to ready every piece of dialogue closely
The pacing in ARR is terrible, yeah, but it does set up a lot of later story
it's the mother of all slow burns
i recommend paying attention but u don't gotta go giga hard on making sure u analyze every passage
hm makes sense
A LOT of arr paid its dividends in Endwalker
As SMN, you can rez people in combat at any level right?
I mean as long as you got the rez skill
Nice
8 second cast time
My memory is still in ARR or something
!action swiftcast

I remember back then you needed like a trait or something to rez people in combat
Since Rez was a cross class skill anyone could use...?
Fancy
someone may have just joined a split second before you did and it filled
best way to level fishing?
Ocean fishing whenever it’s up
Besides that, Leves since they work like crafting Leves where you turn in items
how do I keybind my mouse so that I can switch through my hotbar?
going to clarify what you're asking, do you want to switch hotbars because you have 2 hotbars with the same bindings but different skills or something
cause it's usually much easier to just use multiple hotbars
Are the Alexander raids, like Fists of the Father considered extreme level? Does anyone do them anymore?
i am wanting to switch between my 2 hotbars with my mouse instead of having to hold shift and press the key
like use the buttons on the side of my mouse
Normal raids are casual content from lvl 60 and up, there is an additional difficulty called Savage
Lol no
is akh morn (summoner attack) available on free trial
if no then i dont think i'll put summoner on priority to level list
No
There's a roulette for normal difficulty raids so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a party via duty finder
You have a discount version at 60
But otherwise no
!action deathflare
Deals unaspected damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 500 for the first enemy, and 60% less for all remaining enemies.
Can only be executed while in Dreadwyrm Trance.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
Small question
I haven't unlocked normal raid roulette yet
Im a Level 54 WAR, why havent i unlocked Fell Cleave yet?
It's locked behind having some normal raids unlocked
Job quests
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
Thats fine, im kinda close to it i hope
I Want to try healing for the first time... been doing tank only - how do people quickly switch back and forth from damage on an enemy target and healing on ally quickly on a controller?
Which will probably take you to zones you haven't unlocked yet in hw
Up and down on dpad cycles through your partt
Finale is 2.55 but arr patches are pretty dense
Left right cycles enemies
So target is the enemy, focus target the tank, how do ppl switch from enemy to tank and back in a quick way?
No
Target enemy, pay attention to tank in party list. If need to target tank use down to target via party list, once cast has started press left or right to target an enemy again
You really shouldn't need to use focus target
And remember, as a healer in ff14, your job is to keep people alive, not constantly full health
Thats an important distinction
Does upgrading my retainers gear help them on assignments?
Yes
Ok I gotta do that when they come back
is there a share quest to party thing?
No
you can link the quest by clicking the chat bubble button on the bottom right in your journal
if an enemy I'm targeting dies in the middle of my cast animation, is there a way to transfer the cast onto another enemy by changing my targeting?
No
ah okay
is there a way to show ability tooltips on a macro
No

Ooooh, thanks a lot!
Most skills with tool tips, you don't want to macro in the first place
i wanted my character to say who she was reviving when she casts the spell
but that makes me lose the tooltip
Because macros aren’t the actual skill, so no tooltip
is making a macro that uses an ability then says something a bad idea
Is there a way I can copy and paste a message on PS4 because my friend wants to send me a macro;-;
If you want a message just have the message on its own
There is some use for macro'd abilities
Mostly to make Shirk target the off-tank by itself
and I use one to put ground-placed abilities on a target instead of having to click the ground
how do i return a glamored item to it's original appearance
Use a dispeller
There’s a better alternative to macroing ground AoEs now with EW changes
You can set it so that tapping the keybind again places the AoE on your cursor location
So you just hover and doubletap
There’s also a setting which prevents the ground AoE placement from going out of range

Great for NIN shukuchi
Lemme see where the setting is
There are other use cases for macros, such as dragoon’s Dragon Sight
And all tanks’ co-tank mitigation abilities
And sprint, and holmgang
Is it this one?
Yes
If you stick a sound effect in it you'll piss people off
Can i change tomestones of Aphorism for poetics ones?
No
are dyesw crafted or is there a merchant who sells them
Both
Basic merchants in the starting cities sell most colours
Some less common colours are sold by ARR beast tribe vendors
Special colours like the general-purpose metallic stuff are obtained from retainer ventures, and an additional three special colours (gunmetal, Pearl, and the brassy yellow) are from Ishgardian restoration
what about general purpose pure white
The first two types of colour are all craftable
Retainer ventures, rare
!market Light general-purpose pure white dye

talk about expensive
how do people make money at lower levels
the roulets only give 5k each except for leveling which gives 8
Does anyone know a good way to farm umbrite for the hw relic weapon? You can only get it with tomes
heck one only gives 1k
You can get general purpose pure white from deep dungeon sacks
isn't that basically spinning a slot machine
Umbrite is only poetics
The one alla shared is crystal sand btw!
it is
You need both for that step
Do you know how many crystal sand and umbrite you need total?
So just go about your normal daily game business, or spam content for poetics.
This has the list for all steps.
I guess but I easily make millions off of one clear of potd
Does anyone know, near the end of the game, where you get the buff / debuff “||Endwalker||”, what’s it’s description?
It was something like “||The weight is heavy, yet you can still carry on ||”
isn;t that the one where you can't even bring your own gear
@ripe hound last zone, nearing the end
||"Walking alone unto journey's end, the burden weighing heavy."||
Yeah but it isn't as bad as you think
I can get you a clear if you put your gear up a little
Potd is really simple, when you’re not trying to solo it
also wouldn't you need to be absirdly lucky to get that much money
Nope
Thanks Vinyl!
Glams sell for a lot in there, and you get a boatload
Even without getting the mount you can make a ton
Just time consuming
wait it doesn't do roles for potd
well heres hoping i don't get nothing but dps on my team
There's no damage in potd so
You can enter with a fixed party with any class you want. But I'd recommend having proper classes
Not until challenge floors
how long does it typically take to clear it
how far do i have to go to get a decent reward
But you can leave and come back whenever you want if you dont have the time between sections of ten
Decent is subjective
something that actually makes me money so i can go buy the dress and dyes i want
msq obviously insn't going to make me enough money any time soon since it only pays 5k per quest
One sec finding a loot list
Depending on your mb, even stuff that drops above floor 51 can be decent I think
i don't think i'm high enough level for floor 51
If you’ve been grabbing silver chests, you can more than likely proceed
i've only got 45 minutes till i have to log off so no point in starting now
my compass/minimap has been getting locked the last 2 times I logged out, I dont know if accidentally toggled something but id prefer it to be unlocked. How to fix?
FOUND IT
This link has ever single thing that drops
And from what floors
Click the name of the sacks ex. (Gold sack) and it lists all the drops

hi i need some help so i took out my old HHD and put in a SSD, everything went fine but now when i try to install the game this is what i get " not enough free disk space. installation requires 2 gb or more
i'm trying to get the relic weapons from ShB and been running around bozja for the last 2 hours and only got 1 of 60 fragments, am i doing something wrong?
try asking in #technology-discussion
Were you doing the fates?

2gb lmao
Maybe for the launcher. The total size of the game is near enough to 100 gb iirc
Are you sure you have the requisite space?
yeah the things that look like fates
and i only saw 2 critical engagements very weird
would there be any spoilers in picking up Endwalker classes before completing Shadowbringer MSQ?
i say having 690gb is enough space for the game
Could be a partition issue, or you got scammed on an ssd, any number of things outside of the scope of this channel
How do I get born again anima? I already did it once, and the NPC isn't offering it again.
what's the discord server for fates ?
FATEs aren't really an important enough activity to warrant a discord server
oh do you mean Bozja content?
normal fates, i thought i saw one 2 months ago
If there is one I can bet you it's not very populated
There's no reason not to just use party finder if you want a group for FATEs
Nope
oh my god I'm dumb. I just logged in rq to check again, and then I checked my journal. I have the one for MCH active rn, I just toggled to hide it so it didn't show on my UI during Endwalker quests. Disregard.
hi can someone give me tips for farming aggressive mobs as THM?
I keep dying
because tow aggressive mobs keep attacking me at once
And when i try to run away i attract the attention of other aggressive mobs
Kind of at a aloss
if you're having issues then stand at a distance and slap 1 mob, if you attract another use sleep
not sure what else to say about this, there's nothing much to it because sleep gets obsolete later on
kk
Is there a cooldown to how many times I can switch worlds?
no
might have to wait if there is congestion, but otherwise, you can switch with no limit
Is the best way to power level blue mage still going to the kholusia beach or will they get more xp from endwalker areas

kholusia is still th ebest as blu's level cap hasn't been raised
Im a little confused about hotbar
So when I use Hotbar 1-3 it auto switch to another job setup when I switch job
But somehow that doesnt work for hotbar 4
ohh Thanks! 
Anyone from Polen who has a Steam account?
I read that over Steam you get charged base on your country and would love to know how many pln it costs in steam a sub
Hi I'm brand new picked up a copy yesterday and would like a guide if possible much appreciated 🙇♂️
you dont really need a guide, mostly explained in the game if you read the tooltips and help pop-ups :>
at most you might need the battle basics to further understand ogcds and gcds etc
From GCDs to Snapshots -- A breezy look at some concepts and terms you'll make use of regularly in FFXIV but not really taught ingame very well (or at all).
--Gameplay from FFXIV version 5.0 - 5.58

Press tab while typing
When chatting, press Tab. It'll bring up a list of categories. From there, you can press Enter & Arrow Keys until you find the text you want
It's a large dictionary of set phases, words, skill names etc
If you're midway through a word and press Tab, it'll bring up a list of auto-complete phrases
When you send the message, the game will auto-translate whatever you told it to into the readers' language
it should be like this right
Yes
Yes
That hello is auto translated

Is there any mount that plays Rise? I farmed A12S because it said that the mount drop would play that song, but it plays Mobius instead
there should be a notification (back to starting point)
be a healer or arcanist job
just hold yes for quite a bit
No, there should be a pop up that lets you revive at your home point
I accidentally closed out of it initially
Same spot as your loot UI
Oh shoot I found it
👍
Thanks a ton didn't even notice it
I wonder why the GC rank did not have any update so far.
Still stuck at Captain highest you can go
Outdated content, unlikely to be revisited.
They mentioned that they think they should overhaul it before adding more or something along those lines. They said that Captain was the final rank in the current system and they have no idea when they might take another look at it.
If me and my bf were to do transfer from materia to crystal, do we lose the xp bonus
im lvl61 right now because i rush my level for glamour but MSQ is lvl50, do i need to progress MSQ to unlock lvl50+ skills
You can’t transfer that character until road to. 80 runs out
Yes.
i see
Quite a lot of your class skills up to level 60, and your skill at level 70, are locked behind job quests.
MSQ unlocks 99% of things
is this the right channel to ask for help on trails
Just use duty finder, unless it’s an EX
is there a like "I have never touched DoH/DoL, what do I do to start leveling them" guide
its EX
Are you looking for help learning it, or help clearing it because you're trying to Duty-Finder-queue it and either it isn't popping or people keep leaving?
easiest way to level up crafting/gathering is doing leves
Make a PF
look up fieldcraft leves and it should give you a list of locations of where the leves are
I think it took me like an hour to level botanist from 0 to 50 with leves
okdiekop
can you reclaim job gear
like the set they give you at level 60 for dnc for example
if I throw it away
can I buy it back somewhere or is it gone forever
calamity salvager I think
is there a certain condition to get this item
Sub for 60(?) days
oh
either 30 or 60

is it wasteful to use rampart and camoflauge at the same time
Case to case
does the dmg reductions stack and if yes is it additive or multiplicative
Multiplicative
ah ok cool
its usually not a good option to stack mits since they're not really worth it
Sometimes a hard-hitting-mechanic will make you want to do it
i have bolide for that i think
As in, you should use 2 miti or more in some circumstances
you wont really get hit hard by any mechanic as long as people follow mechanics properly (stacking, not getting hit by stuff that gives vuln, etc)
in normal content
well bolide is 6 minutes so close enough
so just spread out your mits, most especially in dngs
less mits to use = next pull can be really crappy
so just spread em out
ok
it's not an absolute rule, but it's a general rule of thumb
What is TEA and when is the earliest you can unlock it?
The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)
Requires level 80 and clearing the first tier of Eden (Savage) which can be done unsynced now
Ultimate fights themselves cannot be unsynced
The three ultimate fights (UCOB, UWU and TEA) are the most difficult pieces of content in the game. Each one is a 15-20 minute boss rush fight that takes ballpark 100 hours of prog
The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)
But more commonly called Ultima Weapon Ultimate......UWU
HAHHAHAHA
Just wait until we come up with Dragonsong ultimate’s dumb acronym
everyone's calling it DSU already
Does healing pots share CD with DPS pots?
We fought a DSU
yes
I see
DSU or DWU
DrSoWaU
is there a setting anywhere to lock items that are assigned to a gear set so that you cant sell them or anything, at least not without an "are you sure" confirmation
they have an icon if they're in a gear set
i wanna empty my inventory without having to carefully make sure im not accidentilly getting rid of my important gear for miner or dragoon or whatever
yeah but the icon is tiny
or my eyesight is bad
or both
The icon is at the bottom right, and iirc is the only icon to appear at the bottom right
actually no
Either "assigned to gearset" or the number of items stacked in there 
But gear can't be stacked so yes/no/maybe?
But since gear can't stack anyway....
Correct.
But yeah, if the question is also about turning in gear to your GC rep, there's an option you can tick to hide all gear-set items from the window
hang on lemme go back
It means it unlocks something.
ok
tending gardening plot is done right after the daily reset or 24 hours after I tend it?
with the chocobo leveling, can each class (tank/healer/dps) unlock every skill at 20, or should I prioritize 2 classes?
By the time your chocobo reaches rank 20, it will have enough points to max all three trees. I will say however that you can basically ignore the tank tree and save it for last. I usually see people say healer then dps then tank.

Speaking of Chocobo's, a long time ago I heard that it's best not to take the last healer skill because your Chocobo would always prioritise it over the single target heal. Is this still the case or is it safe to get that skill now?
IMO, a chocobo's damage is pretty meh, and they aren't very good tanks. They're better off healing while u dish out damage yourself, especially end game where the only time a chocobo does anything is probably in FATES, or side content like Bozja
I don't know about others, but at this point, i merely consider the Chocobo as a cosmetic that can heal me from time to time.
thanks for the info
I think my chocobo is 1 skill away from max dps, so I will just do that one and then switch to healing
Choco regen and cure
Max out DPS
Then healer (skip medica, assuming it prioritizes it)
Then tank
Not even bozja 
anyone wanna help with a dun scaith unsync run for the pet at the end? made it to final boss with a 2 man but we need some help
You can’t use your Chocobo in Bozja but the Chocobo’s in Bozja is pretty scary
How many people do you need to enter an old 24 man raid?
3
Don’t forget about mechanics
So you’re better off just queueing
that too
Mechanics are for cars
But like tbh you could probably 3 man Crystal tower with little difficulty
and Nier raids have fun mechanics
Maybe shadow of mhach too but Ozma might be a lil janky
i am busy. so i skip all story and rewatch it on youtube. is it good?
its a very good story
wont be the same experience as playing through it yourself but sure
imo the immersion and charm comes from playing it yourself
but still, watch it
its interesting
So with the ARR relic weapons, do I need to do a specific FATE per area, or FATEs in general in those areas?
For atma, any fate
specifics for books
Ah. Ty all.
The books will also tell you which Fate, when you get there, so you won't have to, like, sit around in a zone doing Fates and hoping
you just have to sit around in a zone and hope the Fate spawns

can the ff14 quick launcher work if i buy the game on steam?
Yes it works with steam
ooo okiez thanks!!
i can't understand the subscription. 1 Character per server, the "server" means the data center like Elemental in JP? or is it the server within the Elemental like Atomos, Tonberry etc etc
the lather is correct
so it means that i can only make 1 character in Atomos?
yes with basic
ohh ok got it. what if i make a new one in other server and my friend is in atomos, can we meet?
like hangout and play dungeon together?
If you’re in the same DC, yes
basic is the entry, right?
ye
You can buy from different worlds via world visit, but only can sell in your home world
the world means the server?
Yes
thanks a lot for all the answers 🙂 take care ~
Actually do they even mention word "server" anywhere? Because I'm p sure they always use world everywhere
The icons next to each World name indicate the server status.
They use the two words interchangeably. Worlds are servers, and servers are Worlds.
Then yeah, no wonder people are confused all the time
They need to stop using one or the other definition completely
If it's world then it's world
how long does endwalker take to complete?
About 20-30 hours
With or without cutscenes and reading dialogues?
without
less than a day
I go back and watch
About 20 then
ah coolioni
What’s the difference when an item has “shop selling price (NQ) 11.880p” and “sells for 271 Gill
You can buy the thing for 11880 gil somewhere
But I can only sell it for 271 Gil?
As in its not a random drop and one of the merchants sell it
shop selling price means an NPC sells it somewhere
Oh. So I cannot sell it for 11880 Gil on the market board then?
Anyway, if I was to be pedantic, I'd tell you the difference is that Worlds are where the players play the game, and "servers" are the physical hardware. But since each discrete hardware (server) corresponds to and encompasses a single World, they become effectively identical.
whereas if you sell it to an NPC, you'll get 271 for it
Oops wrong reply
for market board you can sell an item for whatever amount you want
just depends on whether people wil buy it for that amunt
I’ll try that. 11k Gil is too hard to pass off.
@ivory crest you go and check marketboard for how much other people sell it
No just because trader sells it for that amount doesn't mean it's actual value of the thing
Well hopefully I get more than 271 Gil from it
Depending on how easy it is to acquire it outside of merchant it might be 272 on marketboard
Or like 500
Short version is you will almost always get better value from either selling on the marketboard, or turning in to places like your GC representative or the Doman restoration (when you get there) than you will simply hawking it at an NPC vendor
So i just completed tippingthe scale, about how far am I?
you got a bit to go

Hi. Just a question since I might be getting confused. I created my main on Yojimbo back when it was a Preferred World and eventually got 15 free days of playtime when I reached Lv30. Would I still get an additional 15 more free days if I do the same on the OCE data center or not anymore?
Given that the caveat says "Limited to once per service account when creating a new character on either a New or Preferred World", I would hazard that you will not.
I see. Thanks!
Is there any website/discord server I can see timers for ixion for eu server?
Ty
ish how many hours would be full story from ARR to EW be gametime wise? with keeping track of story
about 200 hours long for msq
whats the max player capacity on each world?
longer if you want the "full" story as there some side stuff thats not required but sheds a lot of light on different story elements
i dont think we have that information
i see
where do i trade in the discontinued tomestones
mor dhona
i mean uh which npc
auriana grande?
Do inanimate objects have aether? Thinking about Y'Shtola walking around
pretty sure yes, but id imagine #archived-lore-spoilers has more info on it
i just seen a gal in limsa that had her HP at 0%, how ?
And her name had a big black 0% line under it
that a blu mage t4rick ?

Likely a Blue Mage who self-destructed yes
is the home world transfer available if i transfer servers instead of data centers?
cause im on OCE Ravana but my friend couldnt create a character on that server
It might have been because of peak-hour traffic? OCE is new, so the only thing that would prevent new character creation would be a login queue, since the character creator uses the login servers and not the game servers.
Dodots from bards always get applied ? can they be resisted ?
You should have them try again at a later time in the day.
By game enemies, no, they can't be "resisted". They used to be a crucial part of how Bard functioned, so ... it would be kind of fucked if a PvE enemy had an innate chance to just, you know, shut off your entire kit.
I don't know anything about PvP, so I can't speak to how they function there at all.
ok cool, i thought i had shot them and didnt see DOTS applied unlesss they can be despelled.
so w/ Army Peon and Mages Ballad, is there one to cast before the other ? And does the dps% ioncrease stack ?
You can only.have one active at a time
oh
The song order is wanderers for 43s > mages for like 37~ish s > army for 43s
i bought emote but cannot find mail ingame. Can someone help me?
so i just shot venomous bite then windbite, and only w3ind was applied, had to reshoot venomous ....
so its either resisted or something else ?
Sounds like you didn't actually use the skill.
oits gets interrupted
its an instant, it doesnt get interrupted
unless it's like a moving target and you have 330 ping
then target facing can get fucky
i just wathed it and halfway thru the skill 'cast' the mob started to cast and the skill stopped
did you get a notification that it arrived? it would be a small mail icon on top right
Can you NG+ raids per tier or only the whole thing at once?
like too quick in using the skill ?
only the entire thing
ty!
oh i got it thanks

is there anything i can do with old unneeded aphorism gear ?
throw away or store it for when you can eventually desynth/give to GC for seals
is that something i can unlock ?
desynth is having the relevant crafting classes at level 30 to turn items into crafting materials/crystals/demimateria
!quest gone to pieces

i know what desynth is, but i have all crafters 80+ and still cant desynth those items
have to wait for a later patch for SE to allow them to be desynthed
oh ok
Except crafted gear cause that's easy to get back
these will always show up right?
yes
only leveling and housing tab items get completion marks and count towards the achievements that want you to fill out the crafting log.
Alright so I read something about crossplay through steam...
I have bought the game + all expansions through the square enix store, meaning that I can't play it on steam. But if I buy the game + expansions on steam too, can I use the same account or doesn't it work like that?
It doesn't
Steam and Se can't mix licenses
Alright than that person was a liar
you do play with people who own it on steam regardless
that may have been what they meant by crossplay
Yeah I know,
It's just that if that was possible I would maybe have done that so I can see my time spent + steam integration
you could still add the .exe to your library as an external game
if that is more convenient for you
I've tried it before but there were some issues. I'll check again
it won't have the total integration and statistics
the only actual benefit would be that you can launch it via your steam library
you can have it on the same mogstation account (as its like a master account)
but it can't be the same service account
Hey Guys, I want to buy the Japanese version of the game but I'm concerned about the memberships
For example there is 90 days membership that i have to pay 4554 yen for 3 90 days (3 months)
And that i have to pay 1628 yen for each month
Which one is better to buy money wise?
sorry if i went in the middle lol
entry subscription and 180 days of standard subscription are the cheapest options
I don't know about yen pricing but in general the entry level sub is the most value
This is US Dollars, but it should be the same general guideline as Yen
weird, in the jp store it doesn't have the 180 days
time cards?
the 日 thing is days
weirdness aside, the bottom line is "take entry if you don't plan on heavy alt character usage"
the only difference is the number of characters you can create
i planned on making 3 charaters for each server, so yeah i'm probably going to create alot of characters
oh yeah than the 180 days would have probably been the best value for you
weird that it isn't there 
Just before you continue, have you played FFXIV before?
yeah
Ah alright
but i lost my account
just to make it clear, if i purchase the EU or US version i can still change the language to japanese and play in jp servers?
yup
though registering your account to a non JP country while you are living in JP is technically against tos
oh i'm not living in jp
Dqx fans remember
why does Surecast spell icon sometimes have a "3" on it and sometimes a big "+"?
can you show us what you mean
cant seem to find a version with "3" on google images
what about a snip of your own game screen
mine is also a + at the moment but i swear it used to be a 3 at some point
are you talking about the part that shows what keybind it's assigned to? lol
nah, the icon itself, the cross in the middle is sometimes a 3 instead
am i just going crazy
I think so.
It shouldn't change for any reason I can think of
Because the "plus" you're thinking of is actually a light-gleam as a person casts a spell.
Aight I need to clean up my retainer. Should I toss any of these?
all of the alexander/omega/eden item tokens if you're not going to use the gear they get for glamour
are they all easily farmable solo if I need the glam?
maybe not eden and the later omega floors, but yeah
they also buffed token drops in general for alexander/omega, IIRC
seems like they drop more similar to eden/pandaemonium where it has 8 drops instead of 8
For the Precision tokens from alexander, those are only used for the Unidentifiable materials for the anima weapon
could I turn those into the unidentifiable materials for soil?
Only the ones that come from the Precision Lens and Precision Springs
the other two don't exchange into topsoils

What do i do with old il130 ironworks gear
I just got il133
And i hate how ironworks looks, so no glamour
if you're 2nd sergeant in your grand company, you can give it to them for GC seals
if not, then just junk it
Throw it on a retainer for an alt job
Unless you’ve leveled every job you could possibly wear that ironworks past 50
Trust me you’ll regret throwing it away otherwise
Okay
What exactly do you mean by putting on a retainer
I have never used them tbh
I mostly meant my DRG gear, like armour and spear
You on the free trial?
Retainers are basically like your banks, since it’s dragoon armor make a lancer retainer if you haven’t already and use that when they reach level 50
Since reaper shares the same gear but starts at 70 there’s no real reason to keep maiming ironworks outside of retainers I guess
If you have no vested interest in that, turn them in for grand company seals as needed
But for other jobs I kept my ironworks gear for the sake that I would have to eventually use ut again when I leveled an alt job
Doesn’t really apply to dragoon or ninja left side
Mhm okay thanks

There's some recent discussion here with some more options #doh-dol-lounge message
which MSQ do i need to complete until to unlock the lv52 job quest
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
is the only way to get mount is grinding it? can i buy it from market from other player
you have to get to heavensward.
When do they usually unlock savage? (to not have weekly loot/lost chests if ppl cleared etc)
6.18
thank youuu
Thanks
probably close to 6.2, whiiich won't be until august
most mounts you can't buy, no
i see
XD I don't even recognize most of these items. But Pretty snowflakes! ❄️
❄️
Mount functionality is also gated by msq so even if you buy one from the store you can't use it til you've unlocked mounts
If you dc during potd while in a fixed party what happens
We lost power and probably aren’t getting it back any time soon
You get a couple of mounts from the MSQ. Others can be bought on the market board for a very high premium, since they're typically rare or require rare materials.
So rejoining before the instance ends is impossible
Heck they’re probably done by now
But if you're talking about mounts from Extreme trials or Savage raids... yes. The only way to get them is to grind for them.
The same thing as if you disconnect during a regular instance - if the group finishes, you'll log in outside of the instance wherever you were when you went in.
If someone d/cs you can move on with 3 people to the end of the floor set.
All the way at floor 1
To bad I was at floor 35
I mean, if the group is agreeable, resetting isn't going to hurt anyone.
Well that’s confirmed then I did all that work for nothing
Not nothing, really.
Because you'll still keep whatever aetherpool you got.
Which is always useful.
You keep your aetherpool when you reset?
Yes
Aetherpool is cumulative.
Resetting just resets your floor progress.
But sometimes you have to reset to get more aetherpool to progress.
Well power company called no power for the next 3 hours
I highly doubt a bunch of people I worked with for an hour at most will be willing to go out if their way for me
Since the guy said he wanted to marathon it
Small question, am i able to attend weddings as a Free trial player?
Not that im attending any…
No, as it requires you to get invites from people
No
I need to ask - Does buying the complete edition add 30 days to your playtime, or does it only turn your playtime to 30 days?
If I went with starter edition
If you already have the starter edition, you can't use the complete edition.
And only the starter comes with the 30 days of playtime - the complete has it because the starter is part of the package.
Ah right
and buying Endwalker (+ the other expansions included, I presume) doesn't add playtime
Correct
Gotcha
Endwalker includes only expansion content - Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker.
hi, doing the anime weapon for AST right now (got the DRK & MCH previously as well)
Ive done the light farming in A9S just moments ago
so I am turning in the quest
with the "Sharpened Sphere of the Last Heir" weapon and "Newborn Soulstone" qestim in Inventory
even in chat it says "Canopus" obtained
but i still have the "Sharpened Sphere of the Last Heir" weeapon
right now im using chocobo only , when will i start getting new ones
define when. right now? real money. only MSQ? after you reach Heavensward. Grinding? Once you hit level 50 and unlock extreme trials.
msq
after you reach Ishgard.
i see thank you
https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts here you can check all mounts and how to obtain, some you can buy with gil, some are really easy to get. you can sort them by how many people own them or their price and what not
You'll get your next MSQ mount at the end of ARR.
Magitek Armor is before Black Chocobo.
Whoops lol I never use it
lol same tbh
i am new to having a leveled crafter/gatherer transfer to an expansion situation. So ima kinda lost on wut do besides scrips grind for materia/mats.
Though I am wondering why the crafted DoH/L gear isn't showing up in my expert recipe 9 list?
master book gear won't be added until 6.1 and 6.3 respectively
found a fix for it; it works afer readjusting the stats on the weapon in Idyllshire
but i see that Crafted DoH/L gear is upon the market board
so why can't i craft that yet?
it's just under your normal recipes
that gear is vendor gear basically
except you want it HQ for the stats
thank you
Heya, uhh, is there any news regarding newcomers being able to buy the game/subscribe? 
You can now
Oh.
Just no new free trial players
So if someone that never played FF wants to get in, they have to straight up subscribe?
Yes
Thanks!
Although buying starter or complete edition gives you 30 days free. After those are up, you have to pay for the sub
