"Oh we're sorry, but we can't promote you any further because that would exclude new employees."
If they keep adding stuff new players can never be “up to date”
Also bit of a false equivalence there.
Well I'm not suggesting them keep adding stuff ad infinitum.
But a couple more tiers wouldn't hurt.
There were many years of tiers.
They were condensed and most of the rewards made purchasable with achievement points
That's ultimately up to them as well, so .... although I appreciate where you're coming from, saying so in an unaffiliated discord companion server to an unaffiliated subreddit doesn't do much. =P
Not really sure where you got the impression that an idle musing was me making a formal declaration that I expect to be heeded by the dev team, but okay...

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if some Square Enix employees do lurk around this Discord. A lot of people seem to think so anyway,

do treasure maps scale you down to their level? wanted to do some lower level ones with my friends who are a bit newer
Once you go inside them, yeah. Not in the overworld, though.

Why does the game lock itself at 30 FPS when unplugged? Like who use laptop when they are at home? Is there any way to change it?
Might also be on-board GPU settings for power conservation when unplugged. I'd check those first.
Hello I need help purchasing FFXIV
all 3 lines for starter, endwalker and complete aren't straight
and it's bothering me more than it should

I understand that much thank you, my issue is regarding the process
Pull up a graphics editor and make a perfectly aligned one 
Be more specific
A typical FFXIV enjoyer would need 3 accounts to play? A SE store account, FFXIV account and a SE account?
no
So a FFXIV account used to log in is the same for the SE store account?
No
I want to buy through SE store and have an account for it, then it'll ask me to log in to FFXIV.
store accounts, and game accounts are not the same
blame @remote lintel
they probably made the lines gay on purpose
CERBERUS is typing...
Thank you, last question, Is the only way to buy game time with 60 days or are there 30 days, 90 days bundles?
!faq subprice
there's subscriptions
if you buy a game time card, it only does 60 days
If you buy the game card does it also work for ps5?
you have to go through mogstation anyway so...
What do you mean "if"? What are the other formats to buy game time? I know about the in-game currency you can buy game time with though.
Can I get the link to where I can buy those 30 day/180 game time?
(cough cough)
It's not a link 
Does the snake mom have any Blu spells?
Oh wait NVM I see
You had a typo before, but I understand now, only 60 days at a time
!faq mogstation
here's where you buy your subs/enter time cards
stotram
Mogstation
what does the first of the three icons in the top right mean? I assume the second and third ones are glamour dresser and armoire respectively, but I can't figure out the first one
Hey guys how do i make messages like "You dance" not show up, using macros?
First one is if the item can have your FC crest.
Put motion after the emote like this
/dance motion
oh, thank you, that makes sense
awesome my man
Which beast tribe gives the /mogdance emote?
And which gives the emote with all the hearts + pink aura? Qitari right?
moogle

Oh, ty
hello! i have question. this happene after the dungeon run. im a little bit confuse how this work.
i clicked the "need" in the 3 loot in loot list. after the dungeon run the system said that i got the boots but not the sword and shield. but after i check my "recommended gear" i saw and got the sword and shield. but the system didnt mention that i got the sword and shield.
what happened there? im confuse how the loot list works. below is screenshot
Scroll up a little farther in the chat log, it may show you that you got the sword/shield as the dungeon's guaranteed drop?
leveling dungeons give free gear for your job at the end, just to make sure you get something
it would be right after you defeated the boss, around the same time as the messages for the XP awarded
so before the dungeon chest was opened and the loot table generated, and before the party chat messages
ohh i see it now. the system said i got it 😅 i thought all the loot will be provided after the dungeon run. hahaha
thank u so much for the help 🙏💕

is there a way to attack monster while targeting party member?
Kind of.
😦 it's hard to switch between attacking mob and party member constantly on healer
You can do something called "soft targeting", which is where you cycle through your party list with the directional pad (on controller) or a mouse-wheel-and-modifier (like, mine is Shift+Wheel)
you're casting when DPSing regardless
and your next spell will target that party member and snap your target back to the creature you're attacking
how do you do this?
exactly as I explained
It should be default up/down for controller. For mouse/keyboard, go into the Character Configuration menu, and in the first option pane, go the last tab that says MOUSE (I believe; I'm not in-game right now or I'd give you a screenshot).
You should have a set of options to use. Camera zoom should be your default unmodified scroll already, but you'll see options for "scroll through party list" and "scroll through enemy list".
You can’t, yes.
....ish. I can absolutely tab around while I'm casting, BUT whatever I was targeting when I started the cast will be the recipient of the spell when I finish the cast.
is there way to assist target my chocobo?
Anyway, turns out I did have a screenshot .... but I was using it for something else, so it's not super great.
In Character Config, you want to go to the highlighted section on the left, but the tab I'm pointing at in the upper right, just out of frame

will you get in trouble for voidlisting. i have pretty severe bpd and id like to simply erase them from my view as to not trigger my emotions, i just wasnt sure if id get in trouble for it (assuming im not talking abt it)
Blacklisting is normal, people do it all the time.
no no i mean specifically voidlisting
....oh it's a mod.
yeah it makes them like disappear completely
well from u anyways at least thats what im told
As with everything, third party software is against SE ToS .... BUT SE does not ever go around looking to see what mods you have installed on your computer (because that would be illegal and also skeevy).
The only time they care about it is if a player is using third-party software to harass other players or exploit game functions.
ah i see
my friends said no one gets in trouble for harmless things i.e bardplayer and or voidlisting
but i just wanted to double doublecheck
What's the efficient way of lvling another class aside from potd/duty roullette
Highest leveling dungeon spam
!faq altlvlguide
hi guys, is there some kind of training dummy or room where i can keep resetting skills cds to train my rotation?
where is Enable clicking on field to remove target
Closest thing is stone sky sea, but you can use the unsync/unrestricted feature to use entering and leaving a dungeon to reset cooldowns
hi! so i glamour the equipments whenever i got a new recommended armor with the armor set that can get in Hall of Novice. i set in glamour plate.
so i was wondering every apply my glamour set it's free right? but when i remove it i need glamour dispeller on each equipment? is there a cons to what im doing?
thanks
i just want to look good and not look ugly with mismatched armor set.
and what is meaning of glamour pallete?
thanks!
what are crystals of light?
As long as you use the stuff in the dresser, it won't cost more prisms
You're right too that each time you remove glam from an item, you'll need a dispeller
thank u thank u! 💕
hi! really need help, bought Endwalker on wrong region, on EU but need it on NA and just... really please help, wasn't buying it for myself and i also have different steam one than one on site so that wouldn't work either, is there any way to get it exchanged code to an NA version? preferably without waiting for support ticket for hours or days? if anyone knows
want it changed from an EU code that bought to be an NA code, site redirected to wrong region
If you revealed the code, it’s unfortunately too late to ask for a new code.
You can still try contact support for refund / exchange
You’ll have to find someone to exchange the code with for an NA code.
It may or may not work
but didn't even use the code since can't use it, and yes wrote ticket but really need help faster than however many days that might take... if possible... and yes if anyone can exchange for an NA code? not sure where to ask that here except like this
I'm trying to transfer servers to Excalibur but it's never available 😦
Is that just how it always is? Will it ever be open?
for some reason I can't inspect a narrow fissure in the out of house and home quest
use the item
not for a while
aether is pretty much locked down rn
It's Primal
what item
!status Excalibur
It shouldn’t be preventing you from transfers
Well it's not lettin me 😦
What error is it giving you?
No error, it just doesn't show up in the list
Do you already have a character there?
Pretty positive I don't but I'll double check. That shouldn't affect it though should it?
It brought up your key items, so clearly it wants you to use one
preferably the one next to the quest objective
It does if you’re on the entry subscription
Um i needd help real quick uh
Since that doesn’t allow more than one character per world
Interesting, I didn't know I was on that sub, thought I just did normal. That was my problem, thank you!
Neither Lmb or rmb works
for diadem, would the 3 star one give more scrips?
so please, if anyone here who might know where to ask or do about if anyone by chance can exchange an EU Endwalker key into an NA key if they have an NA key to exchange?
Will I need many ARR crafting materials for DoH HW recipes past 50? Can I get rid of my ARR materials, since they take a lot of space.

does anyone know where could ask about the EU to NA code? or if anyone made same mistake in reverse maybe?
is it ok to skip the credits for ARR?
ye
i think the old key trading discord got deleted due to some black market stuff, so you're kinda out of luck
don't know was just really needing help or if anyone happened to make same mistake in reverse
Sorry, I don't know your answer either but it doesn't belong in this channel
nah i think its a legit question
Re: Fishing. How does mooching work? I'm trying to catch boltfish, which apparently requires silverfish to be mooched. But after catching a silverfish, it doesn't allow me to mooch it. 😐
it needs to be a big fish
use patience 1/2
I meant the advertising the swap, asking where is fine. But they've written a few times asking to swap
i dont think anyone answered them tho
until i did, unless im wrong
oohhh ic ic. Is there a way to know whether to use powerful vs precision hookset when using patience?
Wynne did earlier
use precision if its !
powerful if its !! or higher
Well either way, the question of where is fine
ooooooh i cic thanks dougnutway! 🙂
np hope you get your fish
ye sorry was just desperate and no way to fix fast, or at all and losing my mind, and thanks Paragon
ahhhh i gave up and just bought from MB >_> xD
how do i put
Skill Name
in a macro as a translation?
press tab when typing a bit of the name
Hmm might be worth putting it in #retired-eu-datacentres and see if anyone wants it
it is pretty risky from both sides tho as there's no way to check validity of a code. Also include what platform you're trading to/from since you bought for wrong one too, which also makes it tricky as it doesn't make sense buying it off steam if you aren't using steam
How do I add company workshop to my small house?
Is it your fc house or personal house?
Personal house
Can't add company workshop to it thwn
I'm the founder of the fc
It's still your personal house
Has to be an fc house
How to convert it then?
alright thanks, though i don't see eu-datacenters i assume i have to go back where clicked on the roles thing? and unclick NA one and click an EU one? and yea no way to trust anyone in any direction with something like this i know, though maybe with mails we got for buying those from enix, wasn't getting it for myself meant to get as gift
You can't unfortunately
Oh
That's the fun part, you don't
Ok thanks xD
Yea you need to pick up the role in #860652505117753384
Don't need to untick your NA one, just grabbed an EU one
Do I need to confirm it as an FC house next time I relocate?
oh okay thanks
So what do I do now, sell it?
If you don't want a personal house, sure, that's up to you
keep in mind if you relinquish, it goes on hidden timer
You can have a personal and an fc house
if you really want an FC house, i would suggest saving gil and trying to buy one when the ishgard housing opens in 6.1
But there's no way to convert between the two
And relinquishing will probably blow up in your face
You'll need to do housing (savage) again whether you sell it or not, or wait for 6.1 as kael said
It won't let me change the character, i try to select my alt but i don't know how
Kinda had this issue since they changed the store tbh
Will it be possible to get Noctis's jacket or is it gone forever
there should've been a step with a drop down menu
is there any way to see what Modern Aestheticws i already have claimed ?
Gone until the event comes back
Talk to the aesthetican
or they put in the mog station, but considering they made a rerun like 3-4 years later isntead of putting in the store, i am inclined to believe they aren't gonna put t in the store
Looks like you already went to next step after the character select one?
ok cool ty
Works fine for me on phone at least
Don't see it, is it the conffirm character? cuz that just throws me to my character profile
actually it wont even let me buy them if i already did...thats what was worried about hehe
A step before the one you're at
So the new housing system will be lottery based?
I'm dumb af thank you
Can I enter more than one lottery?
Yikes
per lottery period
The lottery price will be the same as plot size price?
yes
And if not a winner, will anything be refunded?
you'll have to collect the gil, but yes
yes
March, April give or take, from what I've heard

hello and ? folks - what quest is it that leads me to idylleshire ???
so far im at the " into the heart of the Whorl@
How do i unlock soot black dye?
Idyllshire is a Heavensward zone
What quest rewards do you get if you story skip
Just curious
Also has the new server/lvl 30 thing in Materia worn off yet?
You don’t get any, you have to buy the rewards you skipped from the calamity salvager
oh ok i got a lot of quest to catch up and reason i asked so i can get lvl 60 augemented gear and looks like i might not be able to if i out lvl my which could mean like i might be lvl 70 before i get idyllshire
You’re still in 50 content
yes im
Level another job then
i already checked and looks like 50+ quests away before i get lvl 60s quests
I did Whm for ARR -> Drg for HW -> Nin for half of Stb -> Rpr for the other half plus all of Shb -> and Whm/Rpr for EW
Lvl 60 is the end of HW
At least base 3.0
well i could save up for 70 augemented gears but only if i dont out lvl again lol
Don’t get that until the end of base Stormblood
Which again you can’t buy until you reach the appropriate expansion
Plus, tomestones are given out like candy anyways
how about emotes
gear/minions from calamity salvager?
Only a couple emotes are given from msq
Minions/mounts just appear in your inventory I think
every unique thing from msq is auto-unlocked or becomes available at the calamity salvager
I see
you don't miss out on anything msq-specific
Does robo frog have any blu spells
blue mage hasn't been updated for shadowbringers related stuff
HW
msq
post arr only gives shit exp because you're not intended to level much
once you hit Heavensward, it'll return to normal
yes
thanksss~
Frog ain’t Shadowbringers 
I mean Omega
Then say omega
omega's not a frog :d
Sure as hell looks like one
So I sometimes experience these kind of lag spikes and it really affects my gameplay. I don’t have bad internet but it just happens randomly on random days for some reason. If anyone else has this problem how do you fix it?
omega is a scarab
does kaiten increase dot dmg ?
Hardware issue? 
Been fine for me so not something server-side afaik
Idk man. Most days it’s fine for me. But today there’s a lot of lag spikes.

i'll log on see if i can find out
thank you! Couldn’t find it anywhere on YouTube
@leaden ginkgo rip
what quest do i have to complete so i can get a mount in this game?
!faq mount
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.
thank you 🙂 @regal pawn
It's locked behind main story
which savage raid drops head pieces and leg pieces?
i'm looking for the head piece from alex 5-8 and the pants from omega 9-12
np, ty though
6 and 10 iirc
no wait
head is 6 and 10
7 and 11 for pants
pants should be 11
Read up on o11s If you go in expecting to melt it in 30s like Alex savages you're gonna get destroyed
hey so im considering playing ffxiv and i would like to know how long does it take to complete all content available to free trial users
yes i know
but i will play it after my exams
so how long does it take?
assuming i play about 5 hours a day
Quite a long time I would guess
what??
You get all the way up to level... 60 now?
Doing everything is gonna take years
thats good to know
And there is a lot of content within those first 60 levels
The rest of the game
Well, story and endgame. And more content
what lv is counted as endgame?
90, because we just got it
Currently 90
For what it's worth, I've been playing since Heavensward and recently decided to 'unlock' all the content I had glossed over on the first run through
It is almost giving me anxiety trying to run around and find all the content this game has to offer
It's very, very rich
reused assets much?
We don't know when the free trial is back so it might not be back them either
literally same piece of grass tiled along X&Y
That's how tiling works
not to mention ARR was made under a huge time crunch
glad to know that i will not be bored of this game for months
pretty sure it will be back after the server is in a better condition right?
Better condition could mean new hardware. We're in completely uncharted territory here
i guess i can only hope it will be back by the time im done with exams
tq
Not to break it to you but
Every game does this 
It's just usually with a larger size texture
So it's less noticeable
It's also technically more profitable to not have the free trial while the game is this popular so I doubt squenix execs are in a rush to turn it back on
How do players run in place? You see the running animation but they barely move forward (Not in combat)
Hi, where can i find accessories at lv90 with purple scrips for disciples of the land? I've got the full left side but can't find the jewelry
animation slag
There aren't any
Either start crafting or go to the marketboard

Got it, thought I was overlooking sth. Thanks
Maybe in 6.1 when we get new crafted gear
That's all the artifact gear so honestly it's more efficient to use the crafted stuff since it's piss easy to hq and pretty cheap
It's normal crafting log stuff but it's bis for now
Well be getting new craftable left side gear in I think 6.1
Penta-melded crafted should be BiS too right?
or will there be another crafted set
Oh 2nd then I guess
Is there a point to penta meld gatherer's stuff now? The gathering seems honestly fine
Oh true
Just got my 90 gathering set. And wanted to start gathering mats for classical set. But I can't see the nodes. Is there a minimum stat requirement? Or do I need to unlock something? Pls help 😭
Maybe you need the special letters you get with white scrips
What are those sorry I'm noob
In Radz-at-Han, next to the scrip vendor iirc
You exchange white scrips at the vendor then the folklore books to the other vendor
Ok I'll check thanks
Search for the vendor that has this screen (sorry for french lol)

What do I do if I can’t find a party that I need to complete this dungeon to progress through the msq?
Nvm
Stay in the queue and live with having to wait
It’s also 4-7am
Depends on the dc
People do be sleeping
1pm here so could be fine
They’re on aether dude
Finally hit cap on a gathering job (Yay!) so now I'm wondering... What would people say is currently a good, reliable, steady way to get some gil coming in from mining?
Bearing in mind my perception is still only roughly 2800 and I don't have all the Endwalker folklore yet
Playing the market is a player skill
Any advice?
Nope
Gotta figure out what's in demand on your server and raw materials aren't usually in demand
Yeah, I don't mean advice on what's in demand on my server, just general tips for what might be worth looking out for, etc
Are there specific things that come and go as far as demand goes? Or is it literally just "lolrandom, good luck"
Research the market board
more like can change every day / few days, so you need to check how the market works on your world ppl can't rly say much
-_-
Thanks @hot eagle.
Also, Kat, it says right there in that command 'Do not use this to answer questions'
That means don't use it on its own
It might as well have been with the quality of the advice...
But surprisingly enough, people need to hear that sometimes
There's no ez, just sell this for gil, cuz then everyone does it and it becomes unprofitable
That's basic ass economics
Look, there isn't any need for snark.
I thought this community was meant to be more welcoming than this
new items and new furniture are generally good pointers. sometimes even 1-50 stuff can sell well due to being a recurring item in higher level recipes
like Silver Ore, Cobalt Ore, Mythril Ore, Darksteel Ore
He's trying to profit on pure miner
That's really helpful, thanks @obsidian patio
I just asked how to get some basic money coming in Kat, for God's sake
Not expecting gillions overnight
whats the fastest area to TP in for access to a glam chest?
From what I can tell, all starting cities for the expansion have a mini aetheryte directly in front of their inns
kk
kugane's bokairo inn and sharlayan's probably
If/when you get access to Grand Company Aetheryte Passes, and assuming you have a squadron unlocked, you can use a pass to teleport directly in front of your GC outpost, walk into your squadron barracks, and use the glamour dresser there.
to sum it up
no effort - Kugane or Sharla
effort-ish - Squadron passes
No they won't be making glamour dressers place able in housing, codes too unstable and old
the main issues is people moving the furniture around while in use and multiple people using it at the same time, IIRC
Hello
Is it me you're looking for?
I need some advice
Just ask, mate
Well we ain't psychic so ask your questions
would psychic powers even work over the Internet?
how does lahabrea's wife, the original lahabrea, look like?
unknown
I just bought a final fantasy game code i accidentally sent it to the wrong email account the email account is locked up i tried to buy a second code but it not letting me
sad
You should have access to it via your SE account, I think
If we go off of Greek mythology "wife" should be in a lot of quotations
Is that really necessary to bring up, Kat?
we haven't met them yet I do not believe
if Kat is referring to the mythos based on the names of the seatholders, that's both a bit spoilery and ... technically true
and by "a bit" i mean really damn spoilery
well i mean ascians (names) are kinda based on greek
also uh emet's love of theatrical stuff kinda resembles alexander (no im talking about the historical IRL one) carrying a copy of homer whenever he goes on conquest (not sure if thats a myth tho)

Auriana and that other npc up in a tent
Ah

If I penta meld it doesn't increase the Available Materia enhancements right?
No
Thanks.!
how can i unlock the mentor roulette? still have it but i cant mark it
so i must do this on the right side?
Every dungeon in the game
Every extreme trial from arr-ShB and every normal raid
Every normal trial
Every alliance raid
damn..
The blue penta meld slots are the only ones that accept X right?
The reds have to be IX
Sorry I'm just trying to say in the context of penta melding in general
!item quickarm materia x
You can overmeld x for the first advanced meld
Thx
Can you trade tomestones with somebody?
No
Well first off your role is set to light
Secondly not that kind of questions and help channel
Third just use party finder, 8 people can clear Dr easily
It has scaling echo depending on how few people there are
This is my first expansion being "up to date" with the MSQ. I currently split time between SGE and WAR, is it a better idea to focus one set in regards to tomestone gear and then gear up the other Job once the first set is done, or should i alternate to slowly bring both sets item levels up?
focus on the one you play more
I dont really play either one more than the other is the issue tbh. I usually alternate which one I play every other dungeon as I enjoy them both about the same.
What is better depends on your goals. If your goal is BiS then focusing on one job/role is better since that would require weekly reclears of the savage raids. If you just want to casually raise your ilvl without any endgame raiding then it honestly doesn't matter much. You could, for example, buy a full set of crafted ilvl 580 gear for both jobs from the market board and be set until 6.2
Which is still many months away
Well... tbh my goal was to raise ilevel and attempt my first few Extremes with a cushion to ease into harder content
Well you want crafter gear for that
And you'll want to research which tome pieces you'll need for bis to know what to spend your weekly limited tomes on
Does the balance have non-Savage BiS sets?
Not really
I'll have to look into some things then. I'm not about to attempt a jump to savage from dungeons cold turkey lol
Ty for the answer(s)!
Whats the best level 50 tank gear and accessories? Im currently using the ironworks fending set
Ironworks
fending is tank gear
ironworks will get you to about 55, then gear from MSQ will be better
Question. If I just wanna level a class and I've already done my roulettes, what's the best way to level except Bozjan Front?
!faq altlvlguide
is there a list of 'must have' skills for bluemages for the 8-man raids?
thanks! 
if i get to lvl 80 does the road to 80 buff go away for other classes on the same character?
No
do i have to beat hw to unlock the level 60 tomestone assuming i can buy them with poetics of course
you can buy level 60 tomestone gear as soon as you get to Idyllshire in the story, which happens around level 58.
all level caps that aren't the current expansion, being 50/60/70/80, all use Tomestones of Poetics.
just curious cause i'm overleveled and i'll prob hit 60 way before i reach the end of hw
i'm level 57 and my current msq is only level 53
at the rate i'm going i'll level up in 4 or 5 more quests
Is binding coil savage difficulty by default?
yep
Damb
So, how hard are the rest of the relic weapon grinds compared to the anima ones? Kinda want to go for the ARR paladin stuff now, but I remember people talking about those being the worst out of all of them?
ARR is pretty gil/item intensive
if you want to fully complete the weapon you need a specific crafted weapon with 2 specific materia melded, 75 materia of varying grades (1-4) and types, 400k gil, and 8 specific crafted HQ items.
it also has several grindy steps for fate farming and completing "books" filled with many tasks
Well that's a nice warning, probably will hold of those for a while then
What about Eureka/resistance?
Eureka is a giant timesink, but once you complete your first weapon future weapons are vastly easier.
Bozja is also a timesink, but to a lesser degree and allows a bit more freedom on getting the needed relic stuff
Hmmm, alright, thanks for info!
IMO, the rating of easiest to hardest is Anima>Bozja>Eureka>Zodiac
Since Anima is just a gigantic poetics grind for most steps
Hmmmm, if only the light of the anima could be dyed, not a fan of just flaming shielf/sword

how do you get on the dawn throne in the azim steppe?

is it worth "farming" allagan tomestones of poetics and also purchasing gear with them at like 55ish? or should I save the currency more for end game?
you can only have 2000 at once, when youre capped you need to spend them. the poetics gear is only at 50/60/70/80 though so you can buy for alt jobs if youre at 55
Spend them as you get them, it’s REALLY easy to get more if you can bear doing daily roulettes
thank you
visual effects
what it the best resource for macros ? im looking for a p3s macro that explains all mechanics especially spread positions
Try the official forums
Thats whats recommended for max speed. Before that remember to do your daily alliance, main story and leveling roulette
Personally I like dungeon spam more, you can level crafters or do side stuff while you wait in queue
how do you deciide on a fc when theres so many and all sound similar?
my old fc is disbanding ://
where does one go to look for FC? i just returned after about 5yr break and i remember absolutely nothing
people usually shout ingame/put up listings on pf or theres also the ff14 community finder site
thanks, i'll take a look
Is there any other static recruitment channels anywhere I'm currently in balance and FF14 recruiter thanks
I've been posting for past two weeks ...
Also look at ff14 recruitment reddit every hr
No
Only if you want to send them out on ventures with a requirement. There are stat and ilvl requirements for the non quick ventures
is sage difficult
i tried astro but it's abosulte hell on a controller cause i've gotta switch targets every 2 seconds to apply buffs
I want to put new gear on my retainer that is now a lvl 70 miner. What set should I use?
Have you tried the recruitment channel on this server? Also people look for new members in party finder from time to time, check the groups listed under "Other"
If you have the scrips for it then just get the 70 set
Less busy than Astro, but more busy than WHM afaik
Good idea! I always have too many gathering scrips lol
how does it compare to scholar
Basically near identical
Just a few different tools here and there
There's alot of similar skills
hey is there anyone way to have a ability getting off cooldown either flash or give a notification for it?
i was crossbar so i cant always see when things go off cooldown
Use a regular hotbar
And put skills on that
To always see them
Literally every controller player does this
And basically everyone in general has a hotbar just to track Cooldowns
I have

how do i raise my item level to 90? hehe
Get better gear
Gotta fix those then
should i buy those or is there a place i should exchange for those?
!faq poetics
Buy ironworks
using the poetics?
only way you can buy them
ooo
poetics are the go-to system for gearing post 50
Your level means nothing
you'll need to be 80% of the way through HW msq to get lvl 60 poetics
oh dem
so im guessing that the lv50 poetics are the strongest stuff for my current state?
why does it say for alt jobs
what does that mean :o
basically just any job you dont level through MSQ
so, do you not buy that gear on your main job?
?
here?
no it's fine
oh, okay
ah, hm
also poetics are easy to get, just do your roulettes if youre in need
Relic weapons are all massive grinds to obtain, and weapons from past expansions are immediately outdated by subsequent expansions, so if you do past relics, it's purely for glamour
the weapons themselves will be worthless
Hey me and my friend are having trouble finding each other
How can we better do this?
Are you on the same server?
....are you sure
Not the same world tho
Server and world are functionally the same.
So you're on the same datacenter, but separate worlds, got it.
Yeahhh
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.

Can Yellow Scrisp be traded for something actually worth a damn?
Convert them into white
theres an exchange npc in mor dhona
Take them to the scrip person in mor dhona
is there a penalty when u dc whike doing dungeon? 🥺
not unless they clear or boot you
what is that mean?
if the party boots you for inactivity or disconnect you get the 30 min duty finder ban
Welp i fix it
You don't get penalty for being kicked
Is low level content still active when looking for players? Like let's say I'm between level 1-15, would I have a hard time finding people to play with?
No because roulettes exist
Roulettes force people into old content
Also you don’t unlock dungeons until lvl 15 msq
That's good to know thank you
Hey, can someone help me with a summoner rotation early on?
You spam ruin
Summon carbuncle > Aethercharge > Summon other carbuncles and use gemshines and repeat
Then use Aethercharge whatever and spam ruin
Literally doesn't change ever
^
You have your full rotation at 26
Patch 6.08: Astral Impulse now 440, Ruby Rite 450, and Fountain of Fire 540. No use changes.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Summoners how to Summoner properly, without getting too deep into optimization....
weskabler explains every skill smn has
It does change somewhat at 86 when you get trait
also gives rotations for early on
It's just 1 extra button per primal that's thrown in
But it’s pretty much the same but skills get progressive upgrades
What's the best data center/sub server for RP? 
What region are you in?
NA
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Crystal probably
It’s the meme
But everyone says crystal is best for rp so I’d imagine rp centric people go to crystal
hey is ff14 worth getting into atm?
yep
which server should I join?

That just means that world is to overcrowded
I'm on the fence between waiting for free trial to come up or buying the complete edition 
if you wait awhile that message will go away
try late at night when theres less people on
I want to get into a healing class which role should I pick
Depends which DC
between white mage and scholar
Free Trial will probably not be available until significantly later because of literal physical server capacity
Do you have Arcanist at 30
I'm literally downloading rn
depends they're very different
You can only start as a conjourer
white mage is simpler
How much space does it take up?
We don’t know when it will open back up, I presume in 6.1 sometimes in march
Arcanist is a DPS class until you unlock Scholar
how so
Like 70 MB or so iirc
we'll prolly get news about free trial on the liveletter, you can wait till then to make a decision probably
which healer is best atm
scholar and sage are damage mitigation focused whm and astro are raw heals
if we dont get news then its whatever
!faq meta
All healers are best
yes
not coming soon most likely
Cool but when is the next live letter?
18th
the game is fiarly balanced so player skill is more important
the 18th.
this week
has anyone here played the dragon quest games?
Yeah why?
which healer is most like
ah, you just missed the dragon quest crossover a few months ago
let's say, the hero from dq5
You can't really compare the two
yes you can
Completely separate genres
no you can't.
because this is an MMORPG and turn based healing is significantly different
none of them
I'm comparing roles
Shoooo then I'll wait and if nothing comes up, I'll buy complete edition on the spot. In the meantime I'm preparing what kind of player I'll be in the game and stuff 
Hero is everything
the hero from dq5 is healing focused
The most straight forward one that you can say it’s just “heal a lot of hp at once” is white mage
he's got wind spells, defence buffs and heals
i suggest starter edition + endwalker if you're on NA since its basically the same price
That's basically every healer
god damn
Every healer has migitation, heals, and attack spells
what about the FFXV and Nier events?
every healer is required to do damage
you can literally switch jobs for free
How they approach it is different
FFXV over, Nier is here to stay
so just pick all of them up if they catch your fancy
Permanent
For nier
hmm
Nier is permanent content due to being the alliance raid set for Shadowbringers
XV is seasonal content
was
Yes, but I’m talking about straight up pure healing, alongside ast but ast is a lot more complicated
I don't anticipate XV coming back as an event but they haven't announced anything so take my words with a grain of salt
White mage is the easiest to grasp
#healer-lounge you two
mod moment
You're saying I should get started edition first and then when I finish the ARR and Heavensword content, get Endwalker separately?
pretty much, yeah
thanks I'll pick up white mage
just take note you wont be able to play samurai, red mage, dancer and gunbreaker
when you reach the appropriate levels
and reaper and sage
aka 50 and 60
That is part of the job description yes
also be unable to play as vieras and hrothgars because those are also expansion races
job?

if you're fine with that, then feel free to try the game out with starter
Tbf, I did help him pick a class 
and then get endwalker if ya get into it
Nah, I'm only doing white mage exclusively. Maybe the big sword guy for cloud later
m'kay, that should be good enough for you then
1 char can play everything, so swapping is pretty easy
does drk even have a sword like cloud's
kinda
Do Lala’s walk and run faster than other races?
no
Just wondering
same speed
Damn
Yeah I saw some gameplay from afrosenju before I got to see what some of the game is like. I'm a big FF fan but this is my first MMO
movement speed is universal
every race runs/walks at the same speed.
Look like they move faster
they're smaller
Cause smaller
and they have to move at the same speed
But same speed
so their anis are a bit faster
shorter legs = legs move faster
The closest thing I know of is the ravel keeper great sword

ohh yeah, definitely looks like one there
There's this effect where you feel like things move faster the closer you are to another surface
but really you're moving at the same speed
That's perfect! 
Unfortunately, that's a Shadowbringers dungeon
You won’t get it till 74
Cloud outfit is first veteran reward too iirc
Advent Children outfit specifically
75 
which is complete edition
Is there any KH collab with FFXIV?
suprisingly, no
Is unlocking aether currents worth the effort?
yep
need to for hw alliance raids
should be one of the first things ya do after beating msq
Im just starting HW msq
It's how you fly
its also often not out of place in HW, you can use your aether compass to help direct yourself where to go
Flying isn't given To you
Do we know in which patch will beast tribe quests come ?
You gotta get it
You'll be back there often and wish you had it
All the currents are literally on the story path
Takes 1min to get them
Literally no reason not to
Once you’re done with a zone you should have all the currents
it's absolutely worth the effort to unlock flying as you go
don't make the mistakes that i have made
And they reduced the amount of currents in old expansions zones to make it easier...
This is kind of a weird question.. it doesn't apply to everyone, but if you own the game already and are ready to buy an expansion, what does the in-game look like? Do you get bombarded with splash text and icons pop up out of nowhere on your map for the new content?
You’re going to be back tracking to previous zones a lot
No because you haven’t reached the new content
Yeah like after beating Heavensword
Niceeee
you just go onto the next msq pretty much
FFXIV is the best game out now
Just don’t afk on the title screen
story is totally linear so end of free trial is the final quest of HW
yeah theres spoilers
from endwalker
Shadowbringers is included with Endwalker right?
I need to make a mogstation brb
Make sure you make it for the right region
Is it just me or is having two shield healers basically pointless
???
surprisingly, no
From what I remember, the free trial used to be like 7 days when storm blood came out
Theur shields don’t stack
Only GCD shields can't be stacked but everything else is free game
And you basically try not to gcd heal
Unless your a white mage who has basically no ogcd heals
Im level 57 and my ocd are on cd more often than not
WHM is in a bit of a wack position currently unfortunately because of ✨ conflicting game design ✨
Expect some sort of rework soon
not anymore, now its unlimited time
Wait what? I'm going to main white mage, something's happening?
No
no
Just ignore em, play what you want
Except for Benediction which suffers from what I fondly refer to as “the elixir struggle”
we're talking about stuff that doesnt really matter for a long time for ya]
Casual reminder that its okay to use GCD heals if you're still learning.
Benediction is basically every other pull more or less
unless you understand things like ogcds and raidwides and recovery tools
Depending on group clear speed
An instant full heal that I treat as my “oh shit heal”
And you use it, as needed
Benediction is like, my first cooldown to go for WHM lmao
Basically I save it if a party member is about to die and my other heals aren’t going to save them
sage + scholar is pretty powerful because of how many raw heals and regens sage has
also haima/panhaima isn't overwritten by sch gcd shields
Sooner it's used the faster it's off cd
Exactly
I thought you should focus on shields as a scholar
That's a trap
Shields are gcd
And full under the same point of gcd healing
Is it needed? If no then dont
Cause it's a waste of damage and resources
Scholar has a lot of things that are only losely connected. You have shields when you hit 50 but your kits revolves more around Aetherflow management
Because burning a GCD is lost damage
oh i cant get any weapons from poetics?
It's king
ffxiv mostly centers around DPS checks in high end content, which require healers pulling there weight too
separate tab in mor dhona
See the other vendor aelina
and when you're a few DPS of of enrage you can really feel when those extra GCDs of damage matter
ooo~ okiez thanks hehe
We are talking about content with an enrage which matter though so like
I thought healers don’t have any ogcd damage spells usually
It's very obvious when a healer pulls their weight vs not
that's right you don't
Gcds are an EXTREMELY valuable resource
which is why you use GCDs on damage first and foremost
they dont, hence why many focus on healing with ogcds
When you do Tank pulls and people say pull "wall to wall", what does that mean?
run, pulling trash until you can't
Going from wall to wal
You pull everything until the dungeon stops you
Until you hit a wall
The dungeon design will stop you until you kill everything beforehand
Isn’t it when you keep pulllung until you hit a door
Ah okay that makes sense
That's a wall
No it’s a door
It's stopping movement
no this is Patrick you get the point
Locked door but still a door
so im guessing i should get the ironworks spear for dragoon
Yes
What’s weaving
!faq weaving
All the tomestone gear is the easiest and some of the strongest in each tier
Not using attacks when you could be is a dps loss
Always Be Casting
An example would be for Paladin, you would weave Spirits Within during your normal 1 2 3 combo
is there an all encompassing quest for the ShB beast tribes like there's for the other expansions?
no
