If you are a conjurer u can pick up the unicorn
Otherwise u can get 3 mounts via achievement certificates
Behemoth, Magitek Claw and uh.. Ahriman if u wanna look em up
Nah lvl 50 EXs count for everyone but GNB
how does eureka weather work, is it random or deterministic?
it follows some formula so you should be able to predict it with some site if there's any
https://kikugumo.github.io/FFXIV-Weather-Forecast/index.html this one has eureka zones (and endwalker zone name spoilers)
Finds and displays weather in the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV.
can also use this
FFXIV Eureka NM pop time tracker
lots of people will have a tracker going on in eureka
Only for one of the 2 different achievements
anyone know of any lances that are white and gold or just white or that would fit the angel's set from the mogstation?
#glamour-discussion might have some thoughts for you.
thank you
There's also a shit ton of dyable lances, a lot of the relics dye very nicely if you're willing to put in the effort
I know there is a levequest for turning in craftsman's syrup, but I can't remember where it is. Does anyone know?
Crystarium
Thank you!
i have the arr relic, is that dyeable?
fuck
!iglam gae bolg ultima
even replica?
There is this if you're willing to git gud
Even replica
but whyyyyyyy
Dye didn't exist yet
ah man thats sad
also not a fan of this
!iglam loginus
This one's dyable
Reckon’ lvl70 is enough to comfortably solo most arr content?
yeah
Anyone got some tips for making money in the game I’m level 56 healer main and just entered ||dravania|| in hw
I’m reluctant to do potd since I get dc’d a lot and don’t want to have to restart every time
Some error that starts with 9
You really aren’t gonna make the big bucks if you don’t have access to higher content
They’ll add up
The entirety of arr including post arr gave me like 300k despite only spending money on teleports
For a 50+ hour experience that’s not much
Very very very slowly
I still think it’s completely rediculous that such a long dungeon only has 1 check point
All the good moneys at endgame
it has a checkpoint every 10 floors technically
It’s not a dungeon, it’s a rogue like
I was told the only checkpoint was at floor 51
You can break and resume in between every 10 floors
You can start from floor 1 or floor 51
if it was easier you wouldnt be able to farm it for gil
Provided you've unlocked 51
Never got the appeal of that genre why would anyone want to play a game that makes you start over every time you make a mistake that gets you killed
for the challenge
Unique builds every run
That's a great topic for #not-ffxiv-discussion
Also the fact that it doesn’t have role limits is dumb
What happens if you get a team full of dps
Talk about this in a Different channel, getting off topic
if you don't like it don't play it 
plenty of people enjoy roguelikes.
How do I get treasure maps
gathering
WT
and that too
Or marketboard
yeah you could from mb but youre likely to lose money that way
What's the best way/recipes to get scrips?
highest level recipe that you can easily spam/materials are cheap for
So no universal cheap recipe?
I mean custom deliveries are pretty simple
So do those every week
I don't even know what those are 😭 I will look them up though! Thank you lol
can't tell you which recipe is going to be cheapest because idk your server/datacenter's marketboards
will dusting/twine be from hunt available in 6.15 or 6.2?
if you're going for white scrips, bsm and crp iirc are good choices as their 89 recipes don't require skin at all
6.1
do you lose bozja essence when you switch a job? maybe when you switch to a job that cannot use it?
Yes you do
Is there any way to change the background of your char select?
why is it taking 1000 hours to get a party for sastasha
Cause dps ques are long on average due to the large number of them. Average is 15-20mins

hi, what is the best healer now?
!faq meta
i am scholar but i think i should change to sage
both are good
you should not change class because you believe one is better than the other
because that's false
i am lv53 which healer can i change to in this level?
you can start conjurer/white mage from level 1
you could also get to the start of heavensward and unlock astrologian which starts at level 30
all of them have very flashy effects
astrologian probably has the flashiest with earthly star
scholar has, well, everything seraph can do
Do area quests count toward being able to trade with certain gem traders?
no
Whm has Holy 3 at 83
you talk to the vendor to be able to trade in that zone, reaching rank 2 and 3 in that zone can unlock more items, reaching rank 3 in all zones opens the vendors in cities
But you can only gain ranks with fates?
yes
Alright 😄 Thank you
umm, so I found an A rank monster, should I put it's location in Shout chat?
What lvl
70
Then yeah
hopefully someone will show up
but what happens if no one shows up? Should I just leave it?
If it’s not in your way
I mean I'm lvl 90, I can probably spit on it
if you're 90 you can probably solo it or leave it, some discord servers have hunt trains set up for old expansions
just not sure what's the etiquette
guess I'm gonna solo it
or not
thing hits hard

is there a way to change in the middle of an emote the gearset? I try to make some cool macro gearset changes but it always stops in the middle
you can when dancing at least
what is paladin materia teir list?
Will the highest materia (X) always have a 40% of removal or is there a better way?
Yes, it's based on tier
you can use a <wait.x> argument to change your gearset X seconds in
I use a /snap macro that has a <wait.1> so that the gearset change lines up exactly with the fingersnap in the emote
When do I run with a Squadron Battle Manual - does it work in dungeons? Does it apply on top of heat of the battle?
It's the same buff
Squadrons manuals are solo tier 3 fc buffs
Most Fcs only.use tier 2 so usually a tiny bit better
I just bought something from the ffxiv store and it’s not in my mail, anyone know how to redeem?
I want to use the pantomime emote to change the glam while I am hidden behind a wall (I know, very original) but when I do that it resets the emote, I found a workaround by staying the same class and just changing the glamourplate, but is there a way I don't have macro blowups and can just make a /glam macro, so I don't have to make for every class one macro
did you wait more then 1 minute
It’s been 9 ish mins now
Lol that's barely anything
i waited for a mount 3 hours
Just be patient
Oh good thank you
It takes time
give it 1 day turn around max the average is 30 mins -1 hour
It's not instant
Just like regular mail, it takes time
i'm not aware of a way to keep your emote running while changing classes
this may be impossible
order off amazon why isnt it here now?
staying the same class may be your best bet
I've changed classes while doing beesknees
Swapping jobs stops emotes except for dances
Do Saigaskin maps have any unique loot in them yet or should I just focus exclusively on Khumbiraskins?
what's the benefit of being grand company champion ?
you guys have any alternative solutions for quickly switching classes that doesn't involve filling up hotbars? im at this point where im using 3 of them for that but i need more flex with some cross class hotbar mapping and im finding its a huge waste of 3 hotbars, but idk what alternative way could let me hotswap without going into my gearsets manually in my character screen, maybe there isnt but im shooting my shot here lol
I just use 4
Does combat macros make that big of a difference in dps output I have seen mixed things on them.
they are useless dont use them
you can't be one
oh?
Captain is the highest rank you can currently have
!faq macrogcd
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
what can i get from GC store
Stuff
what should i google to get a full list
[insert GC]quartermaster
So I have been out of the game since heavensward just got back into it. What can I use the poetics for other than level 50 gear I have been burning through MSQ and now I’m at the end of stormblood have a few level 60s and 70s and gear score is at like 361
!faq poetics
50/60/70/80 gear and other stuff
personal recomendation is anima relic weapon
once you have gear
Cool thank you
if you want fish idk
fishing retainer sucks
there are fish they can't gather and oftentimes those are the fish you actually need
they can gather pets that are rare, but you can just buy them off the marketboard
i would have suggested no combat and botanist+miner
if you have 2 retainers only
one combat and one of botanist or miner works too
what does a combat retainer even do for you
Which job is the most op in frontlines? From my experience, rdps jobs tend to be the most powerful
I usually see a ton of machinists in frontlines
that is possibly the worst job for rdps
im pretty sure it is the worst non healer/tank
In frontlines?
Yes
oh well would you look at that
significantly
frontlines is pvp
you may want to ask in #archived-player-vs-player
dragoon and reaper are particularly powerful in frontlines
If you have a pocket healer 
Best aether server for new players?
Any and none. They are currently closed to new characters

So yeah, unless you have friends on Aether just play on another DC
What's the command to bring up the faq with the msq tracker and class quest tracker?
Msqtracker
Hey, are the Aether worlds full 24/7 for the time being or do some of them open up at specific hours? my friends got the game and I`m not sure if Its better for me to transfer to other data center or for them to wait for space in Aether, since dont know how long its normally taking for one of them to free up
They are closed to new characters/transfers until further notice.
Long-term, not the temporary lock where you can sometimes make a character in the morning
they only change it on patches and we're not expecting any until 6.1 so unless you can wait another month or so
oh ok tyvm
Is there another alternative to monoa mask
Every time i lvl a new alt it has that ugly mask
Lol
how does Aetherpool Grip work
how can i get more than 1
Toggle the headgear display in the character window
Yeah i meant in general
Just replace the gear lol
Buy some cheap hat from a gear merchant in the city, or replace with some stat-less level 1 glamour hat
I’m trying to level my other job, should I do matched or fixed party for palace of the dead?
I have 1 other friend levelling with me
Ah I see, Is it common for people to join? We’ve been in queue for 12 mins
How do I know if a party member already got a chest from a specific savage fight?
you'd have to just keep track of that
It'll say that someone completed when you load in
oh you mean already for that week
Yep
yeah it'll say the number of people out of 8 in chat
sweet. Ty
More common for floor 51-60 since that's the one you can start on after finishing 50. If you're doing lower floors, you might have a bit of a wait.
Do Saigaskin maps have any unique loot in them yet or should I just focus exclusively on Khumbiraskins?
Solo maps never have unique loot

Where can I find the valentine quest?
Amphitheater in Gridania
I need help finding a music track.. It plays in palace of the dead, it's got a piano lead with sort of a soft synth backing, and shares a melody with the main HW battle theme and parts of azyz lla. Does anyone know which one I'm referring to? I looked through all of the HW soundtrack, but I couldn't find it.
PotD draws its OST from basically all of ARR and HW, so saying it plays in PotD isn't specific enough.
Video showing a few of my domestics with waifu. If Darkside/Grit could stop resetting that'd be greaaaattttt, thaaannnkkkssss.

A...
i had the same struggle so I immediately knew what you meant haha
MSQ
Then fly
None of the quests should require flying though.
Which quest is it?
I'll check the objective location and give you more specific instructions.
i just got to 2nd storm lt. if i were to transfer to another grand company, i would keep my rank? therefore making it possible to reach the top rank of each of the grand companies?
^
In the old company Yes, ranks are separate
You have to re-rank up for the new one
Teleport to ||the Omicron Base, then run up the crystal path like you did for the MSQ, yeah.||
then whats the point of having the option to swap
Achievements
oh okay. how do i rank up past 2nd storm ltn.? it says i cant promote anymore
Squadrons
gotcha
If your next is captain
You need to do 5 unique command missions
whats the materia tier list for pala?
!faq balance
does the third pull in the lv89 dungeon get affected in any way by your party's damage?
like does it get to the "ghosts are summoned" phase at a certain hp %?
A bit
They spawn at a set time
If you don't damage the ghosts enough then the aoe won't kill them
i feel the main ghost needs to be hit a bit for the thing to finish it off, but the bonus ghosts all just die right?
No
oh
ok
i've only been attacking the main ghost 'cause i thought the others didn't need it
and not using any resources, to save them for the boss. 'cause i'm a sweaty dungeon optimizer obv
???
???
saving resources for boss isn't optimizing dungeons
Why would you not use your tools
you should be using cds on trash pulls if you were
because the aoe kills it...?
we are talking about the third pull in the lv89 dungeon
I literally just said it doesn't
And as vinyl stated
It does set damage
yeah that's why i asked
but if you can achieve the damage you need, without using any resources, then you still wouldn't need to use them
If the ghosts aren't damaged enough they won't die and be left with like 3% or less
Resources are more worth on trash
right, so if you can do 3% to them (and like 10% to the main one, idk) without using resources, then there's no need to
saving resources for the boss still isn't optimizing
Due to multiple enemies
????? why wouldn't it be optimizing?
Because you dish out less total damage 
if they're not needed to kill the ghost, it'd be optimizing to save them
Hitting more things with a skill = more damage
You're doing less dmg, and trash takes up most of the time ina dungeon
why would it matter how much damage you dish to the ghosts
but they get aoe'd to death at a set time
We just said why
don't they?
right, you just need to get them below the threshold where the AoE would finish them
Basic aoes won't do it
Need to use some resource
and if you can do that without resources, then you don't need resources
Can the trials of the braves dungeons be done without wep and/or unsync?
aight thanks ❤️
lol, i am never coming here with a question again, i fill out this customer service form with a 2/10, very unpleasant experience.
ok
ask a question get honest feedback 
no optimization in hoarding resources for bosses, that just makes it slower.
it doesn't make it slower though if, say, the aoe always happens 30 seconds after the pack spawns, and you only need to do 5% to them in those 30 seconds, and you can do that without resources
that's why i asked.
Which you cant
but people are responding as if i was saying i'd hold resources on trash packs
Basic aoes aren't enough to low the ghost hp
well that's why i asked. now i have the answer. but the question made sense in that context.
and that's why i said if it's not needed, it'd be optimization to save them.
What class are you playing?
What resources are you hoarding?
i've held all resources until now, because i assumed the aoe killed them regardless
Damb
Is there a specific cooldown to respawn open world fates?
I'm completely spacing. I work with macros all the time and I don't know how I forgot this. How do I put the macro icon as "Mount Guide"?
Iirc can't 

the most useful thing to know would just be "what % do the ghosts need to be down to for the AoE to finish them", because then, yes, once they're below that %, you could just wait and not use more resources
not sure what you're asking exactly
What are you considering a "resource"?
Abilities
charges, gauge, etc
I just saw a fate end and i couldnt reach it in time, how long should i wait to have it up again
Boss will die in the same time
depends on the fate, for one as some have length cds but its also hard to say
are you saying that going into a fight with full resources doesn't speed it up compared to if they were on cooldown...?
because only so many fates can be active at a time in a zone
No
usually though 15mins give or take for most fates
If the kill takes 5m
You'll get 2 uses of 2m CDs
So don't matter if it's 60s off cd
If you don't get another use off the skill
well w/e. i got my question answered, the aoe doesn't finish them off. if no one knows the exact % they need then there's nothing more to discuss
K, great, ty
are you talking about world boss fates like chi?
Which you typically wont
actually, yes, because if you are saving your resources for specific fights you likely will lose uses of them
because they're just sitting unused
if fates then just yeah, what kael said
it's better to have all your skills on cooldown than it is to save it for the boss
you get more total uses
we're talking specifically about the adds before the first boss of lv89 dungeon, and if you should save resources once they're below a certain % because the AoE would finish them already
but the convo is done lol
some classes use the same resource for AoE and single target as well, so if you have to spend 1 resource to either hit 1 mob or hit 10 mobs
That still doesn't meaningfully speed up the boss fight, especially if you're the only one doing it.
clearly the 10 mobs is higher potency
It's forced downtime
You'll get most of the ability back
And you won't gain a use
You're gonna lose a use
i mean, sure, a few charges/gauge doesn't "meaningfully" speed things up, but the same is true of any case of trying to play well
but we still try to be optimal
by optimization i am referring to, damage dealt to things that matter
i don't consider using the abilities on trash that's already dying to the story-AoE to be opti
okay, but this specific trash doesn't matter
if it's going to die anyway
You can kill them faster than basic aoes 
Except it isn't unless you do enough
yes i know vinyl. that's why i'm saying, once they're below the "enough" point, then the damage to them doesn't matter
i think this conversation has gone on along enough, no point in continuing it
i do think it's funny that this is about the 89 dungeon though
since fflogs doesn't have any speedrun rankings for non max dungeons
to my knowledge
You get them below the health faster so you can chill more
Meaning you get a set amount of your cooldowns back
So if you use an assize which is 45s
It'll be back on boss
And you won't lose a use compared to if your just held it
And it'll do more than actually holding it
Due to cleave
Holding abilities is bad unless you can't get full use out of them
Such as using a 2m buff right before boss becomes untargetable
How am I supposed to find a party for Coils? I'm using the party finder but havent had any luck?
I just have a minimum il set.
There you go
Yeah, min ilevel listing is going to turn a lot of people off to it.
Whats the most important Stats a tank should mainly focus on?
Advertise it as “first time clear unsync”. People like that since it’s a quick source of poetics
no one's gonna do coils at min ilvl these days.
I was giving a option to get 4 different Materia with different stats
What's synching?
Which tank
Sync means doing it at the intended level of the content.
So unsync lets you enter as any level, and gives a big echo stat boost
Synced means that your level and ilevel will be synced to the maximum for that tier.
I mean im Warrior rn, but i wanna switch to DRK when i reach HW
So i guess Warrior
Leveling stats don't really matter that much. You're not going to keep gear around long enough for materia melds to matter.
First off materia isn’t required until lvl cap
if you're leveling/on the trial just get tank gear
there's no reason to worry about stats where you are.
👌
2ndly, different job different priorities
But won't unsynched stop me from getting items?
No
Because you still get chests when unsynced.
It's just xp that you wouldn't get. And Coils doesn't really give meaningful xp anyways because it's endgame content for ARR.
Okay. Thanks for the info.

whats best food for rdm/mages in general
Man they just did it all while I was watching the cutscene. I'll do it again but next time I'll tell them I will be watching cutscenes and want them to wait at the very least.
Of course they would, people have places to be
Pumpkin Potage if you don’t need Spell Speed
is pumpkin potage just for every job
If they don’t need their food to give SkS/SpS, basically.
aight
Hey so I've been in this queue for over an hour now, I need to do this trial for the MSQ but I'm not sure what I can do if the queue won't pop, I had to wait around this much time for castrum/praetorium but I don't think anyone is getting assigned to this one because of the (hard) bit, unless that's wrong? What are my options here, also is there a way to see population differences between JP and OCE?
is the marketboard different in each world?
Hard = normal, actually
so if i can't find something, i should teleport to another homeworld and try that marketboard?
!faq dflanguages
Yes
Yeah that
Can I do this mid queue or will it reset my queue?
if theres none of it on the marketboard, it might just be unmarketable
is there much use for the MNK perfect balance? since it doesnt give combo bonuses...does it?
Gotta resey
There is lmao
It gives you the form bonuses
form shift says the bonuses are applied so i thought perfect balnace didnt
Grants 3 stacks of Perfect Balance, each stack allowing the execution of a weaponskill that requires a certain form, without being in that form.
Duration: 20s Additional Effect: Grants Opo-opo Chakra, Coeurl Chakra, or Raptor Chakra depending on the form required by actions executed
Maximum Charges: 2
Can only be executed while in combat.
Perfectly balanced
I'm just gonna do it synched.. I do want to actually enjoy the raid.
Good luck
Perfect balance also ties into monks main mechanic
!action form shift
Grants Formless Fist to self, allowing the execution of a weaponskill that requires a certain form, without being in that form.
Duration: 30s
Any additional effects associated with the executed action will also be applied.
but this form shift note tho...
I can't click the language buttons for some reason
Perfect balance is 3 stacks of form shift
oh
Just use PB and use dragon kick
Did you exit the queue? Because that’s why
You'll get leaden fist
What is the most popular server in crystal? I wanna get faster queue times for stuff
so PB > triple dragon kick?
Ah that fixed it thank you
No
oh dragon > boot > dragon?
Is there a way to see the differences in data center populations?
Dragon, boot
No cause they don't give that info
duty finder pulls from all servers from that datacenter so going to a specific server for quicker queues is moot
Boot dragon boot Yes, for the Lunar Nadi
Ohhh ok thank you
Even if individual server population did affect queue times, which it does not, technically the most popular ones would be currently labeled as Congested right now, and thus you wouldn't be able to join them anyway.
oh im like 55 lol
Is there a channel on here for looking for a group to do a raid?
Do i get better rewards/XP in POTD/HOH the faster i am?
No
when does that gimmick kick in? im 55
Strike the enemy with a technique fueled by the power of your Beast Chakra.
The technique used is determined by the number of different types of Beast Chakra opened.
1 Beast Chakra Type: Elixir Field
2 Beast Chakra Types: Celestial Revolution
3 Beast Chakra Types: Rising Phoenix 3 Beast Chakra and Both Nadi: Phantom Rush
ah the chakra trait?
With this
Is there a marketboard anywhere very close to a teleport spot?
Lisma
Limsa
and a retainer bell?
5 feet
ok thanks
That's why everyone hangs in limsa
i'm wondering if I should switch my GC just for that
Cause it's the closest to the market
if I change my GC, will it reset?
Lol no
2 loading screens
gridania closest to GC, limsa closest for market...whats uldah got goin for it
Uldah is closest
Just jump up over the wall with the flowerpot
Get there in like 5-7s
With sprint
oh yeah derp. whats gridania got goin for it
Closest to adventurers guild
It’s got a seasonal event every other week /s
Is it worth it to keep green/pink gear from dungeons for my other classes or should I just use them for expert delivery?
If you plan on leveling alts, yeah it can be worth it.
Selectively. There are gear sets on 50, 60, 70 and 80 that can carry you for 5-6 levels each before they start to fall off
In ARR, which is the only place pink gear drops, it can be quite beneficial.
id keep the accessories at least
which tank has the highest DPS? im guessing DRK or GNB?
drk
ok good to know ty

Any good sites for gearing? Trying to figure out RDM at lvl 60
Shire gear
yup just get highest lv poetics gear if you have it to spare
you can find the poetics gear for your 50/60/70/80 level at an NPC near the aetheryte for each expansion. city states for 50, foundation for 60, kugane for 70, crystarium for 80
called "augmented (whatever)" set
How does glamor work? Do I have to keep glamoring each time I equip new gear?
glamor applies per armor piece, so yes. just use glamor dresser to make glamor plates and you can apply a whole set to each piece you have on at once for no cost
!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.

Hello, How do you get the free trial on Steam?
Gotcha
no free trial right now
Where exactly can I get the Phoenix mount?

you get it by getting all of the bird mounts from HW EX trials
if you're talking about the 3 headed phoenix mount, that's a reward from completing current tier savage

the three headed phoinix mount is from p4s
How do I unlock the HW trials?

what is the best thing to spend company seals on right now? I spent it on 99 glamor prisms but only made 15k gil and didn't seem worth it
lootboxes, apparently
what rank do I have to be to buy those?
Captain, I think?
Oh, I think I'm three ranks away, gotta figure out how to level it
squadrons
yeah, I'm trying to figure out where to do those
you need to be 2nd LT in your GC to unlock squadrons
go to your GC HQ
also need to have unlocked the challenge log, once those are both done there's a quest at your GC HQ called "Squadron and Commander"
When do we unlock the purple scrip vendors in EW? iirc it waste first or second visit to radz?
my GC challenge just says two things, 5 supply missions and 10 supply missions
I will go to the GC HQ
you can do it the first visit
So wait one more question, these lanner mounts I need to get are they like rare drops or do I get them upon first completion?
@raven sage thanks!
get lucky
rng
Oh no. Not the rng.
that said, there is totems that drop from the extremes
so if you get super unlucky you will be able to buy them eventually
99 totems to be exact
don't you need 99 or something?
What’s a totem?
starting with heavensward extreme trials, you get an item every time you clear the trial
how do you get the Amaro?
every combat job to 80
level 80 in all classes except sage and reaper
did it update to include sage and reaper after EW release?
yeah so every combat job to 80 except sage and reaper
since the HW trials can largely be soloed now with a level 90
it isn't so bad anymore
worst case scenario you kidnap a few friends to help you
its more likely you'll get the mount before you hit 99 totems
I’m a lvl 57 WH……
well
needless to say
i would strongly suggest waiting until max level
before farming these mounts
WHM*

But I don’t need to wait just to solo it right? I can just join a group and complete it? Then again I have never done a ex trial so idk.
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
yeah, you could enter as 1 person if you use this setting
yes, but if you join a party they are going to carry you
and not everyone is willing to do that
but at 57... good luck
when I said "strongly suggest getting to max level"
lanner is lv 60?
i meant for soloing it
Oof okay then I’ll wait then I’m max level.
no one really does PFs for HW EX anymore since they are largely soloable
ohhh, yeah, get lv 90
get the highest ilvl gear you can, warrior/paladin preferably, then you could comfortably solo them if you don't like to do it with other people
If i’m on the final quest of MSQ approx how many hours would i have left?
hours left of...what?
you mean how long it will take you to do the final quest of MSQ?
including all cutscenes, from the beginning, probably around 2 hours?
Thank you!
For dps jobs what are my options for something that’s flexible in rotations and let’s you choose how you approach a fight? If nothing is like that for context currently the blackest night is one of my favorite abilities in the game
Also difficulty of the job isn’t important
Where can I buy gear for my level? I'm lvl 30 but I'm using lvl 15 stuff still lol
The three starting cities have vendors selling gear from lvl 1-50
The NPC vendors in different places will be able to sell stuff, you can use the market board, or just get gear from dungeons. You'll usually get enough to be at least somewhat up to snuff just from dungeons
your description is incredibly vague
if you want a class without a rigid rotation, red mage or bard are some of the most dynamic
they're both proc based priority classes
you didn't really mention why you like TBN but since that's a personal mitigation ability, no DPS has something like it
samurai has third eye which gives you a little bonus for eating a hit in the next 3 seconds
but they have a rigid 1 minute long rotation
If I wanted to upgrade from entry to standard, would I have to cancel my existing sub?
I liked darkest knight because it expanded my move set and gave me options that aren’t just a single rotation or a long cooldown. I like variety due to having the gameplay not feel repetitive
where specifically in gridania? if you know
that's
also extremely vague
you may as well have just said "I like dps classes that do damage"
The shaded bower in old gridania
I don't really see how TBN really changes your rotation though, you literally just use it to eat a big hit as much as possible, that's all
That's the spot with the market board and a ton of vendors in a hall
it's an extra button to press to help mitigate incoming damage on a short cooldown
in that vein it's not much different than aforementioned samurai third eye
if you want "variety in gameplay" you can look at black mage, which has a very complex high end optimization route that differs quite a bit from its standard play style
Your help is appreciated but I do feel bad that
1: I probably don’t know what I’m talking about
2: I’m still not really explaining my poiny super well
….however despite that you did actually answer what I was looking for so thank you
just go try classes at this rate
white mage is the best DPS job in the game, it is super flexible and very challenging, youre welcome! obviously a joke!
When a server is congested, is it possible to pay-transfer them at impossible times like creating a character at such servers past 3am or are they locked until stated otherwise?
every DPS in the game has pretty much one way to play it, and that's all
don't troll in this channel.
FFXIV isn't the kind of game that lets you be creative with your class
you pick the class and play it 95% the same as everyone else
or you do some dumb shit like ice mage or freestyle sam and get kicked from parties
That’s fine. A lot of games where they try to be creative fail with either making most options pointless and/or too generic or simple. Choice isn’t mandatory for something to be fun. Atm I am having fun with the game
Also I did hear that white mage had the highest dps among healers but also heard they lost that niche (not something they focused on I think; just a thing to note about them for what I heard)
Did you try ninja?
I have not no
ninja is the class that presses the most buttons per minute
so if you want a fast job then you can try ninja
If I wanted to upgrade from entry to standard, would I have to cancel my existing sub?
Thank you
mnk is by any means not "flexible" but it does have something similar because it generally just looks very unconventional to play
Some
If the server status reads "Congested" Instead of Standard, can't create characters until it changes, typically at major patches.
If it's Standard, then just wait until off peak hours yeah
Depending on what you do
how do i jump between bozja instances?
wym
No no i want to server transfer a Character to a (ATM) congested server, and i wonder if it will be listed in mogstation by ungodly hours because ATM it isn't
Whether or not you do extra content
you can't transfer to a congested server period
there's literally no way to circumvent the congested status
Meracydia, the New World, a very large part of Ilsabard, Nangxia, Dalmasca
Depends on if you count raids and solo instances, because we explore Mcach and parts of Golmore in those f.r
you have to wait until the server status is changed to either standard or preferred. which typically is only done with patches
until se removes it you will not be able to xfer to that world
Dalmasca is just a raid? :C
Sadly
:CCC
There's a raid series based on FF12, and yes we get to explore parts of Dalmasca, mostly the front area and Garamsythe Waterway
12/Tactics
Ivalice yeah
i thought it was tactics
sad sad
is 12 different than tactics
It’s both
of course
never really played another ff game before
Ivalice is the continent where the 2 happen
oops
That’s in Spanish
sent the spanish one
funky
we have one type-0 boss and technically reaper is in part inspired by sice, and sice's hairstyle is in the game as rainmaker
That’s M’naago’s hair, right?

Where do you see your parse color/% in fflogs? All I can see for the fight is the party dps% and everyone is color coded by their jobs. I assume there's a toggle or a different tab I need to be on?
yes
where do I find the trial stones for Harder than Rock, a Pugilist quest?
Look at your map
They are marked on your map in Western Thanalan
i really should get my glasses replaced lol
Western Thanalan? I'll head over there- thanks so much!!!
You can also open the map for your current objective for any quest by using your journal window (J)
i'm on PS4 using a dualshock, though thank you!!!
Then just click the touch pad over to it
There’s one of these quests in each starting region, Kugane, and Ishgard
That takes like one minute and unlocks access to that housing ward
Then you can enter the housing district and explore each individual instance and subdivision of it
i see a menu with a bunch of plots on it, but not a way to enter any plots
You can also access them via aethernet from their corresponding main city’s aetheryte
Click select in the corner to enter that ward
you just hit select, to go to the ward itself
The enter button is at the bottom left of that frame iirc
alright, thank you! sorry to bother you
That’s what the channel’s for 
hey friends just so i don't waste 15 more hours i will be able to glamour my gnb weapon with the relic weapon right ??
cuz i don't think i saw them on instances
Either that, or a nearby vendor will sell replicas to glam with
e.g. I finish the AST ShB relic
replicas are statless versions of the relics that can go into the glamour dresser
and are basically intended to be used for glamour purposes as it lets you get previous steps that you've already completed
so i.e you have a finished Shb relic, but don't like the final step's look
you can get a replica of the previous steps
ahh that makes sense thx
Do you have to finish the entire relic before getting the previous steps as replicas? I really don't want to do the end of Longinus lol
for the ARR relic, yes you do because replicas were not originally a thing when ARR relic was released
it was something done in HW
so for later relics, you don't have to finish the entire quest chain, but you do have to get to certain point in the relic to unlock replicas
you ofc also have to complete the step you want a replica of in order to buy it
I have run coil 2 turn 3 like 40 times trying to get the helmetbox and havent got it yet, am I bugged or something?
RNG
Best way to get gil?

Is there any news about the free trial relaunching?
Check the marketboard, look whats in high demand or very expensive, craft or farm it. There is no easy answer to that question
Wait for the new liveletter on the 18th
do you recommend waiting for the free trial or buying
?
Question i've seen this video where people test out there lb's and stuff is there a way to do that in game or is that like a super developer build oly thing?
what should i do with the yellow scrips from the diadem?
id say wait for the trial unless you're sure you'll be a subscriber
Probably using dungeon explorer mode
Allows you to explore a dungeon without mobs, place striking dummies wherever you want and use LB at will for screenshotting purposes
How does one use dungeon explorer mode?
It's only available for level 70+ dungeons. You enable it in DF settings before queueing
its available for 61+ now actually
Buy something you want? Also they’re skybuilder scrips
how do i find out my id?
like i made an account
and it says i need to sign in with an id and its not my username
Trust me for a lot of people being able to play the game is the hardest boss of the game.
what website did you make your account on?
can you post the link because the square enix store and the square enix account site for 14 are not the same
and just saying "square enix" really doesn't tell me which one you're talking about
im talking about the one where you buy the game
So the Square Enix store
yeah
you need to make a mogstation account
Can someone remind me how many people in a savage group can have cleared before no chests appear?
what fruits would i need to change the color of my chocobo to corpse blue?
Use the calculator
thanks m8
anyone have a reference code they want me to use
Are there other mounts that help you fight like the Chocobo?
no
Oof.
what type of exp works with squadron battle manual?
so im new but i want to be a samurai how far do i have to go to unlock it?
You just have to own the expansions and reach level 50 with any other job
there is no story requirement
alright ty
i believe it's just combat xp (so anything the menphinas earring affects?)
how do i wear outfits from the store?
generally glamour them onto your actual gear since they have 0 stats
can i use them just once? it means if i use them on crap gear i need them to buy again?
so its like a permanent skin
whats a good starter dps class till i hit 50?
theyre all fine. what aesthetic do u like most
so doesnt work with end of instance/duty xp?
potd/hoh, roulette?
last question how do i check what dlcs i have
do you remember what youve bought
endwalker complete edition?
FINAL FANTASY® XIV ONLINE COMPLETE EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD]
sick so when i hit level 50 i have the samurai dlc
idk what uldah is
\
Oh you will
yes
hm
by the time u need to know, youll know
thats true of most MMOs lol

Is it possible to solo Paglth'an?
when does a gunbreaker start using the gun part of their gunblade
no Possible with a paladin
yes?
Would be extremely slow tho
right now (lvl 62) its only lightning shot which is only useful for drawing aggro from a distance
also possible with war
their gunblade... isn't a gun that shoots projectiles
its a sword that deploys explosives
ah
The cartridge detonates an explosive aetherial charge, creating a shockwave upon impact
it's out of FF8
it's kind of stupid but also cool and iconic to the FF series
MY TURN
and was actually a thing people tried back in the day
You should have Burst Strike by then 
and the Gnashing Fang combo
They're the bread and butter of GNB
!action gnashing fang
And still, Burst Strike
!action burst strike
1.) Find a plot of land for sale (indicated by an auction hammer icon on the map)
2.) Click the placard in front of the plot of land
3.) Repeat step 2 for as many hours as it takes for either you to win the land, or someone else to do so.
Housing plots are limited in number, so not everyone can own a house.
3.) Repeat step 2 for as many hours as it takes for either you to win the land, or someone else to do so.
Repeat until youve starved to death
If you just want a space that's yours to decorate with indoor housing items, you can purchase an apartment.
Same difference, tbh.
Man i still have ptsd from my first house
I've never succeeded in purchasing land.
I'm hoping the upcoming auction system will give me better luck.
Yeah, atleast you dont have to develop carpal tunnel syndrome with that method
Also don't have to stay awake and logged in for 3 days.
when grinding PotD, does the job need to be lvl 17 at least?
or you just unlock it once one job is 17?
Unlock is lvl 17, afterwards it’s available anytime
ayy cool
Wait till 6.1 for the lottery system and try to get one in ishgard
Any advice on what to cook as a level 81 culinarian? I need to upgrade my gear! XD

You can get different hair options through various means
2.3 ||why did the refugees who revolted attack alphinaud of all people? wouldnt it make more sense if they attacked the uldahn authorities?||
I think that’s more a #archived-lore-spoilers topic

I use steam edit to login to my non steam version of ffxiv by deleting -issteam. After the steam link update will I no longer be able to do that?
New to this game and MMOs in general. Decided to start an Arcanist last night to go towards Scholar. What's my general rotation as Arcanist?
Uhhh, rotations aren't really a thing for most classes until 50+
I mean theres SOMETHING
But usually no one makes guides for the early levels (especially jobs without jobstones)
Yeah that makes sense
Funnily enough...
Arcanist has their barebones rotation the moment they get ruby carby
!action summon ruby carbuncle
Summons Emerald Carbuncle, and orders it to execute Glittering Emerald.
Glittering Emerald Effect: Deals wind damage with a potency of 400
Additional Effect: Grants 4 stacks of Wind Attunement
Wind Attunement Effect: Gemshine and Precious Brilliance become wind-aspected
Duration: 30s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Emerald Arcanum and Carbuncle is summoned.
There
From 22 up, your rota is mainly set
Aethercharge > spam ruins > use a carby > use Gemshines (it'll change to ruby/Topaz/Emerald ruin depending on which carby you used) > repeat carby step another 2 times > back to aethercharge
Use energy drain and Fester while in aethercharge
oh awesome, thanks
!faq balance
I'll check it out, looks pretty comprehensive
Whats the drop rate for mounts in savage in sb and shb
Guaranteed
Guaranteed
for dps leveling, is it that big a deal if i only upgrade at poetic tiers?
thats mainly a tank thing for upgrading at the x5/6 level cuz of the defense scaling yea?
The mount always drops in savage, you just have to win the roll for it
You're guaranteed some dungeon gear so just equip that
goes for tanks and healers too
equip upgrades as you get them, there shouldn't be any need to go out of your way to farm or buy upgrades
this is for alt classes
If you're doing highest leveling dungeon spam. Then yea what lyon said
i rarely get teh ShB leveling dungeons in roulettes as is
same applies
you get a random piece of gear you dont already have at the end of the dungeon
for your class
If you're not doing highest level dungeon spam then you don't really need gear upgrades
If you're doing roulettes, then its really whatever tbh
Is there a way to check the rare drops and/or percentages of Dungeons? Like this cool minion I saw in the loot I really wanted it but didn’t get it so I was wandering what are the chances of getting it again?
No percentages
But is there a way to check the chances of getting items from dungeons? Just to give me an idea.
No, because there’s no known percentages
