someone just call me toxic for doing it with them 😦
unless you're like higher lvl than them and one shotting before they can tag
they are likely coming from another game where sharing mobs isn't a thing shrug
nah we were both hitting it around level of the mob
so long as the person who didn't claim the mob first does enough dmg, you'll both get credit
if youre taking more than like 5 secs to kill it then you both get items and credit
his dps either sucks or he's being a crybaby
or both
Do you still get XP from Ocean Fishing at lvls 81-90 ?
yes
Oh, pog
do A marks give exp or just gil + hunt currency
they give a bit
just played healer for 45% of the final boss of the 79 dungeon as Dancer with a DRK as my tank AMA
hmm maybe the shb ones don't i didn't get any exp
You don’t do A/S ranks for exp anyway
im not sure if you have to take the mark from the board for it to give xp, i know at least stormblood ones do
A/s don't have bills
fuck maybe i was thinking of b ranks then
Can you do anything with Master Recipe Tomes you accidentally bought a copy of besides discard them
Nope
Nope
bugger

what time does ff14 trial come back? is it midnight?
rip
They’ll have something in lodestone, just be patient
I checked just now and didn't see anything yet
but surely we'll know by the end of the day
why am I consistently outdamaging this reaper as a dancer
they're more geared than I am 
I have mostly scaevan still in the 79 dungeon and they have 75+ gear
!faq metameme
What should I spend white scrips on once I have all the gear and regional tomes I need? Whatever seems to be selling best on MB?
Both
materia
based on current crafting BiS CP VII is used a LOT
both rings and all tools as the final meld slot, so you go through it quickly
as for gathering, all three types of V are relevant, though perception V is used slightly more
oh CP VII is also used in fourth slot of the other jewelry for crafters
so it's used on every piece but armor slots
(ignore the colors, that's just my own tracking)
Thanks!
Hi, I bought 10 euros steam key for FF14, when I go to the website and i'll press on add new service account it says the code doesn't work. How can I fixx this?
Completely new player here and trying to figure out a class to go with….I’m wanting something that’s fairly simple rotation not having to watch dots/buffs ect just hit buttons then other buttons when they glow so to speak….is that possible? Don’t do well on remembering things and the more complex it is the more it turns me away….so far I’ve read up on it’s looking like lancer/summoner maybe?
Are you completely new or were you on steam trial already?
Summoner is indeed a great starting point for you if that's what you're looking for. Their kit right now is fairly simple and straightforward, but lots of fun.
Then all you have to do is type in the cd key you got
Yea that’s kinda what I’m leaning towards but also seems kinda intricate due to the aether? Gauge and such 🤔….
Ty
I did put in the code but it says it doesnt work
It isn't, no. That aspect has a fairly long cooldown to give you some extra weaving, but that's about it.
!action energy siphon
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Aetherflow II Additional Effect: Grants Further Ruin
Duration: 60s
Shares a recast timer with Energy Drain.
So about once a minute you can use this to get two charges of aetherflow.
You are on a EU account putting in this EU code, right?
are there 2 websites?
I see Mmk might give that a try first then tyvm
Check your account region
can damage be dealt inbetween Haima/Panhaima stacks refreshing? or is it only the overflow damage that was bigger than the shield and the next attack will always get the shield again?
Overflow will go through
and the attack following the overflow will meet the new stack of the shield?
Yes
cool cheers
I bought this
But if read the rest of the text
i removed the code, but i get this error
that's final fantasy 11
Bruh
you need to go to final fantasy 14 site
whut?
that's a different game
There’s 2 mmos
yes, 11 is a separate, older MMO
No, it’s happening sometime tomorrow
No
No
yes you bought the right thing, you're just currently on the wrong website
no its 14 but the side you were on was for 11
XIV = 14
You went to the wrong section on the site
But i press on this link lol
!faq mogstation
Wait...Please don’t tell me you bought the game twice
still can;t play xD
So another question 😅 but I’m coming from eso cousin of mine finally convinced me to try 14 out….how is the world like is it viable to go exploring or is it more linear? I love just getting lost in the wilderness sometimes but it seems from all I’ve seen and read on there’s not much to do after the MSQ since it’s more story oriented it’s kinda meh after that?
Is there a timeline of when content was released? I made an alt on oce and want to unlock everything in chronological order, i.e. do patch 2.0 content before moving on to 2.1
the new zones are linearly unlocked through Main Story progress for expansions
"Not much to do" depends entirely on your perspective.
You will not have a choice in that regard, lol, everything is locked behind the Main Scenario Quests, which occur in chronological order.
have you not made an account
I'm logged in
If you look at your service account info it’ll say whether stuff is registered
Hate using other games as examples cause eso is incredibly diff it seems than 14…what I mean is in eso I can go wandering in a direction and find mats and side quests and just generally exploring like there’s always something to do whether it’s fishing or crafting or exploring dungeons and the like if that helps?
im logged in on the website too
There you go, you’re not registered
tomorrow the free trials will open again! im also waiting for it 😄
what do you spam when you run out of resources/cooldowns on sage? euk. diag or regular diag?
you can then try till level 30 and people say thats a really long time because you can level up all jobs
the steamcode and it doesnt work or it says already register
That can’t be possible if you literally just bought the game
Then i need to contact support
Yes.
Because my steam only used the code i quess
youre playing tru steam right?
im watching a video and it should give you the register spot when you open the game on steam
Lol cousin of mine is trying to get me into 14 cause he loves the game so we can play something together we both enjoy cause he can’t seem to get into eso like me and 14 rn but I’m trying lol just hit lvl5
But idk it just seems….empty sorta like idk it’s slow as hell but the environment just seems kinda flat? Prob biased and maybe gets better? My god is it slow though
You do have a lot of content in front of you. ARR and Post-ARR are going to feel really slow.
Like, horrendously slow.
thats what a streamer told me yesterday also, and when ur passed that boring piece it will be super fun
she said she got super addicted to playing after that
i think there is a bug with steam
i think its better to buy a key on the website instead
I will show you how to make a FFXIV Steam account through Steam.
For those having problem with FFXIV Steam account, delete the FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn folder in your Documents. Launch the game again, and the agreement will show.
Cousin says the same to me but my god is it torture to try to get thru the beginning rn….
Granted I keep also wandering off cause shiny things 😬
it is, yeah
I've taken two characters through the whole campaign to date, and getting through Post-ARR and into Heavensward is an enormous slog.
im used to old mmorpgs, where you kinda do everything solo. but when i watch streams from others it looks so cool and many teamplay
It's not as long as it used to be, though. A decent chunk of the ARR MSQ got streamlined a few patches before the current expansion, to cut out the bloat and some of the more pointless back-and-forth fetch quests.
i have no idea how to story lines work XD but im excited
And the devs stated just this past Live Letter that they're aiming to make their current NPC "Trust" system compatible with all ARR/HW/SB dungeons progressively, so fairly soon you'll be able to queue for story dungeons without needing to wait for a party to fill, if you just want to play through the story.
Though I had to laugh when I heard about how they had to close down the servers due to just a massive influx of ppl lol like daaaaaaaa**
Talk about the feeling of success so much so your now scrambling cause you can’t accommodate so many ppl
what are "cure spammers"? new healers? returning healers from arr/hw that are used to spamming that due to cleric stance?
Ty y’all for the help!!
People who spam cure 1 or the equiliant
people do recommend playing tru the PC version indeed...
sometimes new healers, sometimes just bad players
Aka shit healers
Some of that, some also of players coming from other games where a healer's job was specifically to only ever be healing and not yet grasping the different concept in the way this game works.
What if i buy the endwalker, do i get a new key?
You get an EndWalker key
Which can’t be used if you don’t have the base game registered
i heard stuttering in this game might be due to having windows 11? anyway to fix that
been having some lag and stuttering lately
If there's any stuttering, it's going to be very minor. The Win11 package came with retrocompatibility for Win10 games.
shoot then it might be my computer
So ... all you can really do is check your settings to make sure they're not too high, and wait until the FFXIV team finishes quality-checking their Win11 version.
its doesnt happen all the time but often happens when i first log in
They will announce when they have it available for us.
it works now
i just bought another key xD
maybe the other key is bugged
idk
nice game
xD
My old key didn't work so i bought a new key on the website
Did you apply the key to mogstation?
You’re registered tho
And where did you buy it
Did you own the game since before?
on the website
Can i download it on the website?
If you go onto service account status, it shows all necessary info
Like whether you’re a steam user, what expansions are registered, if you have the game on different systems
@molten pond Ok lemme try. What are you trying to do and have you played the game before?
I think they figured it out above
how do I take this off? I cant move faster than a slow crawl
you should send steam a msg that they should send your money back because the key wasn't working with screenshots of what you showed here about it not working... its not fair someone has to buy 2 times the same thing to make it work
It's a keybind, should be / on pc by default
Ty
They didn't buy it off steam tho
Apparently they did earlier
he did showing in the screenshots before
Oh I see
but the key showed as used
Which wouldn’t be possible if they just got the game, as they claimed
is there a way to disable the keybind?
It’s not refundable anywhere
everything is refunable if its not working :p
Thanks for helping guys
its downloading the game now so lets hope i can play it
last question, can you quest with other people or can you only play together in dungeons?
yea but if you want the other packs you also need to buy them, would be sad if the same thing happens again
People appear in the overworld
It not steam
never a fan of it anyways
its like regions also right? that you have the use the same region as your steam account is registered in
Just your account region, you can play on any dc
Does that mean i can play with other people, like everytime?
yeaa i mean like having to make a euw account for the europes
Im trying this mmo but i don't wanna play alone xD
The story is mostly single player
You can, typically msq has a lot of solo instances tho, and don't really help being in a party for story overall
so you have story mode and dungeons?
what is a fc?
It's a guild
No worries it's ff specific term 
Most dungeons are part of the story
oke i pressed on the link so free company means story?
You have to do story to progress
Free company is just a guild, for chatting and help and such
Ah so can i even go healer in this game?
Yes
All classes and roles are viable for all content
Healers are meant to do damage
whut?
quick question between, what do the packs add? only more story line?
And spend 98% of the time doing damage cause they have so many healing tools
Healers don't heal, they just keep people alive enough to do damage
is there like a top tier class or is everything balanced?
Do you mean collector's or endwalker expansion? Or something else?
yeaa like buying the complete version vs the starters edition
So you also have a summoning class right? Like summoning monsters and stuff?
Like a pet that follows you around and fight?
Starter is only ARR & HW (first expansion), you'll be capped at lv 60
what exactly do i put in this? we just crafted the lv 2 wheel stand
Endwalker gives you Sb, shb and ew expansions and your cap will be lv 90 (current end-game)
Cause Se really can't code pet ai to save their life there's no actual pet job
ahh okay, so best just to buy it all for the full experience
This is reddit
No, this is patrick
You can hold off on buying endwalker if you're not sure you want to continue playing, otherwise just buy everything yea
There’s 4 different regions each with their own DCs
na means north america if you are dutch i recommend like playing on euw
data centers = severs
If you own starter you just need to buy endwalker and not complete
Wrong
But yeah as long as your character is on the correct data center it’s fine
No
servers*
Data centre is a cluster of servers
nice thanks!
Wait how did you know im dutch xd
Data centers are clusters of servers, in 4 different global locations
because im too and i saw on your screenshot 😛
psychic
lol
There's no euw, it's all eu btw
internet is a scary place
But yeah make sure you are playing on the correct DC
but there is a euw server
Also can you go to #860652505117753384 and clear up what DC you’re in
ooh oops. then eu yes
Chaos and light DCs that is, the other region ones aren't obviously
Both eu data centers are in germany
chaos and light is eu?
Same physical location
Yea
But separate so that they can better manage the load
i wil never forget you
is better for the lagss
Then you have a handful of world (servers) in those to pick from
wait i thought by changing the server in discord i would never see you again lol
but i was wrong
xD

This is the reddit discord
lmfao no discord is for all
hahaah
And some people have alts across the world
there is no cross play between regions right ?
All the general stuff is shared, just like 3 channels that will change when you change role
There will be Soon™ for the same region
Can't remember if they gave us a date
And if servers go to shit, say tomorrow that's potentially being delayed
No servers are dead
There are no dead servers
Doesn't exist
oof im glad
points to game being taken off sale
And duty finder/party finder is for the whole DC either way
YEAH TOTALLY DEAD GAME GUYS
Dead game?
The joke
You
So your server only matters for finding a fc 
Points to disabled trial

What's currently the fastest level 70 dungeon to run synced?
Is arcanist mainly healer and do I have to start at level 1?
Hells kier
It's a dps
Arcanist starts as dps
nononono they say its disabled because of issues
Red background means dps
You can choose scholar which is Healer, at lv 30
Issues of too many fucking players
Which server is the best chaos or light?
Literally identical
Ty
well im glad😂 then i dont have to worry
Thanks! Hell's Kier it is then 👍
Where can i find more people to play with?
Literally
Either
Identical
Idk, we got cookies over in chaos 👀
Good point, best avoid light 
Which job is it that can summon dragons?
Summoner
Summoner which is what arcanist turns into
Is there a tier list for pvp?
you guys are amazing, makes me want to play the game even more 😂
It's the other branch from arcanist
PvP is just a side mode here, and stats don’t matter
Tier 1 of pvp is not playing it 
Even tho I have 2 toons at level 90
So it's just story and hang out with ppl?
Summoner at level 70
And a mountain of side content and other mmo staples
Pretty much, yea
Ok
Either that or you just buy a job skip
buy a job skip?
There aren't tier lists in this game. Not objective ones. Especially since all the pvp jobs are getting completely changed in 6.1
people do play pvp but it's not really a focus of the game
it's more like side content tucked away into a corner of the world
!faq meta
the main endgame in FFXIV ends up being either raiding or collecting
they're intending to facelift pvp with a new mode and seasonal rewards in the next few months of patches
False. It's Glamour 
but currently there's nothing strictly terrible about it but it's very underplayed
they're also changing pvp toolkits in 6.1, iirc
yeah
so there is no competive ff14 online?
raiding
It's not that kinda game bruv
no other competitive format exists like MDI or arenas in wow
there's also parsing if you want to call that competitive
what if they change it into a competive game?
the new pvp mode will have competitive pvp but it's not really that sort of game.
How do I turn off the crafting notifications because like I’m tired of whenever I’m crafting and texting someone in final fantasy I can barely see it over “you synthesize blah blah” you “you use blah blah” is there a way I can turn that off
Getting the biggest e-peen on fflogs
changing meta
?? why would they.
They won’t
not really worth answering that lmao
Then they lose a ton of player base, that kinda shit breeds toxicity
lets be honest, pvp is never really fun in mmorpgs. people will be rude and you will be hurt xd
If you want competition, this ain’t the game for you
I wouldn't go so far as to say that
Literally not the design philosophy
never knew that, i thought ppl play competive mmos
We play to have fun
Not these people.
we play to have fun, not to compete.
What fun means to you is different for wveryone
if you want pvp then you have to either deal with what FFXIV offers or play a different game
Less toxic.
It's a theme park mmo
lol
i used to get bullied a lot in pvp on different games, because there is always the '' bad one who ruines it all '' person xd
well. no, that's not correct
It’s “for the fans”
So you find fun in one of or more of the several different things to do
And then you have fun
but if you want a more competitive MMO, you'd be best with WoW or suchlike
there is challenging content to be had but comparatively not as much
obligatory skill issue
also if people are being rude to you in pvp then you can just ignore them using a blocklist
I had enough of competive, i played league for 10 years hit diamond im done with it
but im searching for a game to play together story mode
so i thought maybe trying a mmo is fun
You raid, you glam, you play mini games, grind jobs, chase achievements, gather, craft, play the housing market, socialise, collect cards, minions, mounts whatever you want
pvp isn't for everyone though, even if someone isn't great at it, they don't have to keep doing it
finaly fantasy looks good
welp seems accurate then
playing mmorpgs with others is always fun, just gotta find what suits the best.. story mode is more on your own i think but side quests might work ?
but i dont know anything of the game so i might be wrong also
Ff14 is honestly one of the best video game stories I've ever played so just do that if you want. The producer actively encourages just playing the content you want then unsub ing and coming back when there's more. You do you
let's say there is a friend lvl 1 like me so he can't join my party for story mode?
it's realy solo?
MSQ has dungeons and trials
There's also optional Raids
all story scenarios are completely solo except for when you do a dungeon or some bosses
You start in a solo section to begin with
There's alot of solo instances
ooooooh thats fun
There's solo instances where you have to do say story missions solo, but there's also dungeons and bosses done with groups
the MSQ as a story-experience doesn't typically lend itself to multiplayer
only you will appear in your story
sans dungeons
Alright
!faq mogstation
The design philosophy is, final fantasy game first, mmo second
So it's a single player jrpg, that happens to also be an mmo
Rpgmmo
Rpg for the large part of the msq, then mmo at the end.
how long does this game exist?
i recommend watching streamers or on youtube, if you dont mind spoilers ofcourse.
A decade
Over 10 years now
And it'll be around another decade
Another 10 planned
Probably more after that
the next 10 years of the game are planned for
So this game is number 1?
shrug
No way of knowing
it's probably one of the two most trending MMOs currently, other being WoW
They don't publish sub numbers and neither does wow
doesn't really matter for the point, FF14 and WoW are the two highest engagement MMOs at the moment, comparative to anything else
yeah WoW is in a major slump
FF has seen some more engagment for the expansion due to that
google says ff14 has around 25m people. but place doesnt matter it, you have to think it worthy to play
Wows in a slump and blizzard is garbage so yeah they're losing a lot of players and some are moving to ff14
those numbers are likely not accurate
25m registered accounts
or are register accounts
Not 25m active players
ahhh
numbers may as well be wind
they are not published
which doesn't translate to active players
you know how much 25 mil is
i do yes
they did say 25mil registered users at the launch of ew at the pll
its 1.5x the netherlands xd
They literally don't have the infrastructure for 25million active players
LOL
thats why i added the "or registered users"
but my point was, games might get placed as number 1 but if you dont like the game it doesnt matter where its placed for the rest of the world
so i just got the cronus after some grinding but was wondering how to get the cronus lux since ardashir doesn't give me a quest for it like the other relic weapons. is there something i'm missing?
Should do, iirc. Look around the area
Probably a
he did give you
it's the next quest in the series
If it isn't at Ardashir it'll be in the vicinity
You have to do a once off for your first lux weapon
Who is the most populair player of ff14?
What?
There's no metric for that
does it matter for the expiernce? xD
Clearly its Yoshi Pidk who it would be.
Yeah probably yoshi p
ah ok. i'll take a look in my quest list and see if i can find it.
think i found it. ty all!
afaik based on twitch subs ZeplaHQ is the most popular current ffxiv streamer but she's.... indisposed, because of what's going on in Ukraine.
oh please dont say that
Yeah go to #not-ffxiv-discussion
mb
We're not going into that shit here
And we’re off topic
No
They’re just data centers, nothing more
Guilds, which are called free companies, are completely social
And local to individual worlds in a data center
raids are only 8-man so you don't join an fc for that
you can switch between classes on 1 character right? so i dont have to make more than one? Also i saw something about crafting. Do you have to like make your own gear and stuff?
yes, you can play every job on one character
Yes and not if you don't want to
and you can craft but it is not required
what class is the best for a beginner?
Yes
Any
hmmm okay, so there is like a player market also ?
It's very easy to be mediocre at this game as any job
or do you otherwise buy from npcs
thats fun
im thinking about healer, but you play alone so.. maybe summoner?
Up to you
summoning monsters and stuff
Healer can absolutely do story just fine
If you're really that fussed roll a dice
i think someone mentioned healers also do damage
It 100% does not matter
As a healer in ff14 your job is to heal as little as possible
so weird
That's how content works, healers are expected to dps
They do like 60-70% of a dps damage
normally you have to heal the entire team
Green dps
Heal enough to keep people alive, Dps as much as possible
Regardless of the role you pick i'd recommend watching jocat's vids on tank, healer, and dps
You do. But when there's no healing left to do you do damage.
Boss can't kill anyone if it's already dead
Also the point of the fight is avoid as much damage as possible
If you only healed you would be afk like 80% of the run
I would recommend watching these so you understand general expectations of each role https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8oVV_I-tIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olxZUfxk4bo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osvUOqeDwD0
There's 2 types of damage, unavoidable damage that healers and tanks have to account for and avoidable damage which EVERYONE is responsible for avoiding
you also have a video about a summoning class?
Damage is scripted and predictable as fuck
Summoner is a dps
Honestly the game explains it to you as you level up
That's the easiest place to start
im scared
Especially since summoner is super simple
and since you can switch to all classes XD just try
wait what?
One of the main selling points of ff14 is that you can play all the jobs on one character and switch freely
!whoami
so you learn the way of a healer and then the next day you can be a warrior
?
you can play every job on one character.
See, I have literally every possible job at level 90
You can be everything
Will still need to be the level of the msq to to continue the msq.
Literally whenever you want (after job quest lvl 10)
Can i be a shopkeeper?
That's not a job
Some jobs have level requirements to unlock them and start at later levels, but otherwise you can play any job
jobs are classes sir
nerd
dps, tank healers
Role play exists and people do it
But you can just play the market and make money
No
tbh it seems so much fun to be a shop keeper
If it was it wouldnt last longer than 3 months
thanks for the videos btw! im also watching them rn
it's only like buying skins and mounts?
Everything is cosmetic
The closest thing to p2w is being able to skip to the current expansion and skip a job to 10 levels below cap
!faq metameme
But player skill trumps all, so doing that means sweet fuck all in terms of player power
Have fun, story's slow at first, but I promise it's worth it
No
Just read shit that shows up
READ YOUR TOOLTIPS
loll I guess just play it on virtual desktop or some shit
is island sanctuary 6.1 or 6.2
6.2

Because I swear to god if I see one more player that can't do their aoe rotation in an expert dungeon I'm gonna teleport them to the location of every erpers used undergarmenrs
I use AOE on savage boss.
Are the items available for Irregular Tomestone of Lore special? I see that they have Bonewicca set items, but aren't those just things you can get from a dungeon?
Oh, it looks to be that ryan gosling jacket thing. Isn't that what it was last year too though?
how much longer will it be available?
I have 79 irregular tomestones from the last time I played
its highly unlikely lore is going to be rerun
Oh, so I can't get any more of these tomestones to get it now?
Nope
ah, so I have to use these tomestones of lore up before the next one starts or they're worthless?
Basically
The items will go eventually and tomes only exchange for fireworks
No reason to hold them
The jacket might come back in the distant future
We had a 100-cost item from one of the first two mogtome events come back in a recent one
it might, might not
We had a mount from a 3 month long SB campaign come back in a moogle event
So who knows what’ll happen this year

How do I get to the airship landing for the ul’dahn envoy?
Talk to the elevator attendant to take you down
If you attuned to all the aetheryte shards, you could just warp there
It's a door
Got it thank you so much!
Is there an orchestrion roll for the music that plays in lydha lhan? I love the pixie’s music
Maybe from the pixie quests?
when is previous expansion content soloable? like can i solo a Stormblood dungeon at 80?
its from bicoloured gems in il mheg
yeah, though can be a bit tedious to do
“Fierce and Free” is the overland theme, “Figments” is the town theme
there's several town themes
i was able to solo every dungeon as Bard up through like, Ghimlyt Dark during ShB
though Hell's Lid gave me some trouble
"a reason to live" is the one commonly used in places like the Tomra and such
which is the one that plays in Lydha Lran
What’s the current status of dark knight? Like on one hand I’m seeing it’s low on pick rate but then I’m also seeing it’s the best tank rn. Am I just reading conflicting stuff or is dark knight top tier but unpopular?
Highest damage tank I think?
People still play drk, because they like playing Drk
Wait I thought damage was gun breakers niche? Did they change gun breaker?
No
Just cause of how TBN works
Which skill is that?
It's the only short defensive that ends early and leaves nothing
!action The blackest night
Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow
It's frontloaded mitigation
So it seems that dark knight is in a good spot then? It has content it shines in, weak in others, and has its own niche kit wise
Tanks don't really have niches anymore
Outside of pld being able to have abit better uptime due to magic phase burst
But have awful invuln
…wouldn’t that remove any reason to pick Tank other than fashion and the meta?
Well I heard that an issue ffxiv is having is removing identities from jobs
Most jobs still have a solid indentiy
They keep.to the class fantasy as part of the jobs design
Alright thank you. I hope I wasn’t rude at all
In terms of function
Depends on the content, a lot of it will never be soloable
Susanoo and a4s come to mind there
Where do I exchange those again in il mheg
Bicolor gem icon on your map
in Lydha Lran
There is no meta
!faq meta
In terms of comparison to other classes/jobs/etc. ffxiv is probably the best balanced game I ever played. When I mentioned choosing due to meta I just mean like a 1% that cares about a literal .1 second faster clear time
Cause the Devs actually know how to balance
how do i tell if something is interruptable by interject
!faq interrupt
if cast bar flashes
It's very obvious
Yeah, no one does that, and unless you're in the top percentage of all tanks its not gonna make a difference which you pick
ty
What npc?
look for a gem icon on the minimap
Hello! I'm at lvl 45 mechanist and tryna hit 50 so I can continue heavensward as mechanist. What should I do it hit 50? I already completed floor 100 of potd so should I reset my progress and keep doing it?
Oh, alright
!faq altlvlguide

Thx
Gotcha thx

After the 89 dungeon
okidoke
It's like extremely telegraphed
I've done so many searches but have had zero luck on finding any information about this, as if it doesn't even exist????
how do I change the name of a friend group in my friendslist

go to assign someone a group and right click on them
hi, i've got a question about the sidequest "in a titan spot". i've done all the requirements but the mission still wont show up? anyone got any tips on how to get it there??
Oh god thank you

How do you take screenshots of your character without all the hot bars in the picture??
Scroll lock or type /gpose
Ty! 😄 just got the kirin mount 😄
is ishgard restoration gonna be gone once the residential district is up
ok
are we still looking at (potentially) 6.1 when Aether servers are no longer congested?
At the earliest
Im doing palace of the dead for leveling, is it more worth to do it with 4 people ?
Yeah? You don’t solo for the exp
It's faster
I have a question about custom deliveries, there is no difference who to deliver, who will get the same amount of exp?
currently, yes
everyone gives the same
when we get the next custom delivery npc, she'll probably give slightly better exp/scrips than the others
yeah if you want a chance to get more, max their hearts and hope they give bonus
I need help with paying my sub. What I mean by this is I pay with crysta, but I'm just not getting the option in the mog station. (am steam acc.) Had worked until recently, maybe I don't remember how it worked. If anyone can tell me where the new button is, I'd be eternally grateful.

I forgot, does solo give exp as well? or it has to be matched party with 4 people?
Try using a different browser or incognito mode. sometime steam accounts can be a bit wonky
Sorry to interrupt but does anyone know what this top is called ?? I saw it on someone then I teleported too quick ;_;
Presumably it still does
Kainé’s outfit from Nier Replicant?
looks like hempen camise for female au ra
!aglam female aura hempen camise
Ahahaha, that fixed it. Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

Omggg thank u so much
can't have that look as any other race
dang 😂
it takes a different appearance for other races
Well at least they can cosplay Kainé
!iglam hempen camise
how can I live out my lingerie dreams now 
What’s a possible situation where at the end of the duty, one of the DPS gets all of the commands
They leveled up?
if theyre literally the only one who knows mechanics
ooo
The 3 were a premade
deal the most DPS, 3 people premade and yeah be a "good player"
Also some people just give commends to whoever
yeh I commend other DPS if I play as a a DPS
can you still wear grand company gear as glam when switching ?
nope
👍
is there a channel for looking for team
Use PF
yeah but im doing extreme and usually at least 2 people quit after the first wipe
PF is what extremes are for

anyone know how to get thje full piano on the bard? i only got hlaf but seen some get the full keyboard do u know how to do it?
How hard is Hades actually on EX?
Wanna kinda attempt that soonish :>
One of the harder shadowbringers ex
Not that the weapon series even set the bar high at all
Also it’s a long enough fight to warrant 2 totems a run
So it's doable tho.
Personally i thought that (normal) Titania was harder then Hades generally
idk. :>
Titania normal has the duty finder debuff
EXs can’t really be compared to the msq fights
When you get people who literally eat glue
Aye ikik.
Just noticed that multiple times that it feels harder.
Aye
do i gain equal exp from all dungeons or do i gain more from the higher level ones?
Higher level, ignoring level cap dungeons
okay thank you!
Outside of roulettes, only level using your highest available dungeon (excluding 50/60/70/80 dungeons)
can anyone rec an oce server?
Doesn’t matter
I’m on Sophia
But crossworld means it doesn’t matter
Sophia has more roleplayer free companies that’s about it
Account region has no impact on which servers you can play. Join any you like. Just be mindful of distance/ping.
You will form parties and match with players from all servers on the Oce datacentre
And with world visit you can travel to the other worlds on Oce to meet people in towns and stuff
Thanks. So Sophia it is. I always wanted a roleplay dedicated server.
Oh sorry I misunderstood the question lol. Anyway yeah all OCE servers matchmake with each other so any will do.
“Roleplay dedicated” in big quotes there
how do iget fps to shgow at all times
Can someone tell me the size of the game? It's my first time installing it. Thank you.
Are there any mouth covering face mask items for Vieras?
Steam overlay, Nvidia/AMD overlay, or a XIVLauncher Dalamud plugin
oof ok
as long as it's not a full helmet most mask type headgear should work
Around 60-70 gb
Probably 80
It is smaller if you only have starter or free trial
I found a nice one from a vendor but it doesn’t list dragoons as being able to equip it 😩
Doesn't it download all the content?they just can't access it
Not all
How long do core weaponskill chains get?
Then get a job that can use it
Maps, bosses, dialogs, etc aren't in
Longest combo is 5 gcds for drg
Standard is 3
But expansion weapons, gears, mounts are in because new players can see them in any area
….I do. I just don’t use that class. I wanted to know if there were any I could glamour for my dragoon.
No
DRG's long combos are also very straightforward in how you alternate between them so it's not insanely hard despite its length
which piece of gear is this
Yeah I know, I should’ve added dragoon
Oh okay that makes sense
I was trying to build hotbar around a 3 tall hotbar stack but wad having more trouble figuring out drg button management
both of drg's combos also use the same buttons for the last 2 hits
Doubt there’s any maiming masks
Same button for the first hit too
It’s from Enna, but it doesn’t list dragoons as being able to wear it so I can’t use it as glamour 😩
what piece is it
Is there a good guide to look at for drg?
12345
16754
!faq balance
All guides inside
Augmented scaevan of casting, I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything like that that dragoons could use 😄
How do I see this ch?
Yeah no
Get the drg role
Ah diff discord
New question, is there a way to block someone on here?
You are not getting anything close to caster glam as a DRG
DRG has a few fabric gears
sadly no, i was gonna look up if there were any reskins for other classes
there are not

I’m on an iPad and don’t see the option when I click and hold their name to block them 😰
Ahh alrighty, Ty 😄

And thus I was blocked...I guess

when does the sprout go away?
!faq sprout
The
or 'sprout' indicates that you are a new adventurer in the game and is only automatically removed when you have met the following criteria: 300 hours of playtime and completed the main scenario quest Death Unto Dawn.
The icon can also be manually removed by typing /nastatus off into your chat. This isn't typically recommended as it helps other players gauge your progress into the game.
ty
should i just aim to lvl my char to 90 first? or should i stop at 80 then focus other characters?
It’s your choice really. Just note that MSQ alone gives enough xp to get one char to 90
What dungeon or trial is best to farm for poetics? Currently level 69
Unless you’re running on empty you can finish up SB, do some roulettes
ARF, last HW msq dungeon
Alrighty. Thank you both
ooo okkiez thank you!!
Also can you go select your DC in #860652505117753384
what dungeon or trial is best to get poetics. im level 53
Roulettes
After that just push msq for a bit until you beat HW
i see. thank u!
I'm in Bozja right now and I'm trying to alter my holster by removing something, but it just won't let me. It says "This action cannot be performed right now". I thought I had to click it while in the Lost Finds Cache, but that didn't work. Tried to edit via the Holster itself, but nothing works there. Anyone able to explain it to me like I'm five?
Open cache > put skill in holster > close the cache and open holster > click skill to assign it to be active slots
Thank you!
What's the date for next patch?
Thanks!
hey how does xp scaling work in potd ? is it worth doing it to level up ?
Only stops at 60 and a sperate lvling tbh
but does heaven-on-high still give exp ?
Unless you’re a dps and queue times suck, you’re better off doing dungeons
For 61-70
If you’re not a dps with bad queue time
how do I stop the chat window from moving when I accidentally click and drag slightly
not resize, but stop from moving
how do people mark the moogles in thornmarch, and the doors in lost city of amdapor so quickly
practice
oh i assumed they had a macro
maybe presets? I noticed there was a slot for presets in those windows
Likely not presets. Most people use those for floor marker setups for current-tier high-end content or things they regularly farm.
You only have a limited number of presets, so keeping a preset around for every piece of content in the game is impossible.
