I see ,thx
how do you change the gig head for spearfishing?
apparently the action to do it was removed
Oh, gamerescape says you need a Normal Gig Head to catch Petalfish...
anything that mentions a specific spear head is no longer correct
no
:(
kinda glad of that tbh
otherwise exp would start getting even slower the closer you go to cap, and its already slow af
Is there any way to make dances repeat? It always seems to go through one sequence and then stop
Dances that aren't simply /dance repeat.
ah, so /dance is SOL, thanks
For example, /flamedance repeats
whatever the atrocity that Hildebrand does is repeats
are all duty roulettes worth running to level alts, or just the efficient ones as stated by leveling guide (Leveling, Main Scenario, Trials, and Alliance Raid)
Also frontline
would just focus on the ones mentioned by the leveling guide tbh
also throw in frontline
But others do not give much exp, no
gotcha thanks
also is there a reason why it says to run the highest dungeon thats NOT 50/60/etc
Cap-level dungeons are implemented during post-expansion content and are made assuming you are already at max level, and thus give absolutely shit for experience.
The lvl cap dungeons do not give much exp as they were at the cap for that expansion
They give tomes instead
So, just like if you're level 52 you run the lv51 dungeon until you hit 53, at lv50 you run the lv49 dungeon.
which guide are y'all following anyways? I used to have one I created & maintained on CGW but someone seems to have removed it
!faq altlvlguide
or in my case I simply do what made the most sense
which as it turns out is almost exactly identical to what's in that guide
oh rip I thought it's still the spearhead question
except I don't spam dungeons because I don't want to put more effort in than a couple of daily roulettes
6, you're exactly right!
Top one 
ah ok, thanks pal
it was less, you lie to me 


Your fault for not taking the highest option when it was visible

So i buy my first 30 days of FFXIV on steam i can buy the dlc on website?
oh i see
How can I stop the game from randomly switching back and forth to the Intel GPU instead of using my dedicated Nvidia GPU? I set the game everywhere I can to use only the Nvidia GPU but it keeps switching to the Intel which causes big fps drops
And no other game does that
Might want to ask the experts in #technology-discussion
tbh with you I have no idea, cause mine doesn't have that problem...
Thanks I'll try
whats the dif between palace and heaven
palace of the dead is intended for 1-60, heaven on high is for 61-70
anything after 70?
Bozja
but bozja isn't a deep dungeon
alright thx
also what ya mean poma?
Yes but don't mention it in game
i wanted to join a free company where do i find one
!faq communityfinder
wich mods are good?
i know that have texture mods etc
Whatever you want
I only use gshade with Espresso Glo
is it normal that beginner dungeons are absolutely ghostly :(
ghostly how?
i can't seem to find other players to play with
how are you looking?
!faq dflanguage
wdym?
omg is it language?? i'll change that
this is probably your problem if your queues are taking too long
yes i think i'm using that
are you a DPS class?
yes lorechief
How long have you been in the queue?
20 mins today, around an hour the other day but it was like, tuesday
20 mins is not abnormal for a DPS queue
15-20 mins is about average for DPS but it's way worse if you didn't enable other languages
that too
tanks and healers tend to get instant queues
but may also be significantly hindered by not having languages on
i figured that :) i was just worried the thing wasn't working, but i don't see many players in front of the dungeon either
don't need to be
It's EU peak time though, but yeah
yeah the language thing should really be a default that you opt-out of instead of opt-in
i had no idea about the languages, tysm
no one ever goes to the dungeon
unless they're unlocking it
enable all 4 languages and tick "Join Party in Progress"
since you can just queue in the menu from anywhere
i didn't know! thanks a lot
and the rest is waiting game
i'm less worried than, i'll be more patient, ty guys that was really helpful
Its good to do FATEs while you're waiting in a queue as well
got it :)
When will the Endwalker soundtrack be on spotify, do you think?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are there any guilds willing to do old content such as extreme raids from ARR and heavansward
Usually, yeah. Typically you just have to ask.
If you mean "do them synced minimum ilvl", then you're going to have a bit more of a search ahead of you, mostly because, you know .... why. But there are still groups/free companies who do that sort of thing.
pf is a good way to find people for that kind of content
Do u know the best gshaders settings?
Try opening task manager?
sounds like a rogue process somewhere, yeah
check your task manager and kill anything that looks like XIV
which ones of my role abilities should i have on my hotbar as a dragoon? or are there any of them I simply shouldn't?
Basically all. Leg sweep is the lowest priority and has little use in actual content
should i have my limit break on my hotbar as well as a dps?
how can I get a weapon that is level 42? mine is 35 highest I have from drops in my inv and equipped!
Obviously yes
....yes
Do your job quests
Do your job quests.
You get a coffer with i90 gear
It should be on your hotbar. The end
No matter your role
i cant log into my free trial account
its on steam
do yall know whats the problem?
what is a job quest? @faint flare@narrow jay
the quests specific to your job (class)
how to do that?
idk how i got my skills I think by leveled up and done my story quest
I'm new ^^'
You see this?
Do that.
It won't say the same words.
It will show up in the same place.
Are you still your starting class and not the upgraded version
Is there a way to hide MP cost on macro icons?
They also unlock your entire kit up through level 60.
No, there is a single final skill you get from the 70 job quest. But the skills between 60 and 70 are not locked behind them.
That is why I said that that way.
It's still part of your kit
That is why I said that that way.
Unnecessary misinformation to confuse the sprout

Play Simon says
Like, are there any differences in the colors or
You'll see a job bar that will show which one to hit in sequence
You don't press the glowing button = no standard step progress
Dancer is the easiest job in the game
Watch weskalber on YouTube
Their Shadowbringers dancer beginner guide is still good for beginners in Endwalker
!action standard finish
Delivers an attack to all nearby enemies. Potency varies with number of successful steps, dealing full potency for the first enemy, and 75% less for all remaining enemies.
0 Steps: 360
1 Step: 540
2 Steps: 720 Step Bonus: Grants Standard Finish and Esprit to self and party member designated as your Dance Partner Damage bonus of Standard Finish varies with number of successful steps.
1 Step: 2%
2 Steps: 5%
Duration: 60s
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, step actions, and finish actions upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills, step actions, or finish actions.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
The colors themselves aren't important, no, it's basically just a minigame. The correct number of steps you hit is important, giving you sharply increasing damage the more correct steps you press.
But you also don't break the chain by pressing the wrong one. All you'll lose by hitting the wrong color in the sequence is time you could be DPSing.
Ah ok ok thanks
is there a difference between the dragoon armor and the wyrm armor lorewise? just got it at lvl 50
Lorewise no
Also, you'll notice that the buff from Standard Step lasts twice as long as its cooldown. Don't hold the skill because the cooldown hasn't finished; it's a passive damage up for you and your partner and is better to just maintain, and by holding it you're losing out on 720pot every 30s.
Game wise the highest ilvl is better
so it has nothing to do with haldrath? just a different color?
technically lore wise it is different
because its replica commissioned by Rowena to sell
all of the i90 sets are
I want a new character but I feel like I'm not far enough in the story
Don’t need to make a new character
I want to make a Lalafell though
but yes, has nothing to do with haldrath
Does Ishgard Restoration stuff have limit like Levequests or are the infi?
Thank you, time to slave away
Only limit is how many materials you have. Go nuts.
Ninja'd
Forked raiju and fleeting raiju aren't combo actions? (just got ninja to 90.)
No
feels weird
Not anymore
Cause it was janky and terrible
Way too much animation lock and everyone hated it
so why have 2 skills da does the exact same potency but one is a gap closer and the other... does nothing?
The non gap closer has no animation lock
The gap closer has a good amount
So you'll often use the non gap closer one unless you need to get back to the boss
its not like i have 2 shukuchi...
That doesn't do damage
problem for me now, i have to fit 2 gcd on my bars
cause they will be used... someday
ty
Put the non gap closer in a much more accessible position
You use it much more frequently
You get like 3? Under trick

Why are lures crafted in 3s. Aren't they an infinite use item?
bruh
that said you don't need as many as live bait
so those extra 2 should be considered back ups if you ever do lose it
Wtb actual tackle box to store lures/bait...
What's the name of that one furnishing that's basically a bulletin board?
So use it when it cools down instead of waiting for the buff to end right?
Yep.
Thanks
is it a easy way to track when theres a house for sale ina ward?
you can also start precasting standard step before combat
hit the first two steps before the pull and then start combat immediately with the finishing step
how do i know what size frame i need for a painting?
Does it have a timer?
Or i can just hold the last step forever
I see
most dancers start their prepull around 15 seconds before a pull
so the timer is probably around 15 seconda
Its fun, but a bit overwhelming
Like very easy to play
But there are some skills (mostly the aoe ones) that i dont see the point much?
you don't see the point of your aoe skills?
to hit more than 3 targets?
but yes dancer is extremely easy to play
it doesn't have many complexities and is heavily dependent on RNG for procs
No like
The ones that proc when using other skills instead of the ones you have without proc
yes, that's part of dancer's RNG layers
main skill has a 50% proc for the combo skill, which then has a 50% proc for fan dance, which THEN has a 50% proc for the other fan dance


I hope you like coin flips
it's why people always just say "press the button that lights up" for dancer
cuz like 90% of your playstyle is quite literally press whatever button just lit up
It's similar on brd too
Tbh thats what ive been doing
the exception being fan dances and holding it for tech step/raid buffs

Follow the glowy stuff, except for fan dance only use them when capped and after technical step
Use devilment with technical step, they'll always line up
playing dancer is like playing whack a mole
Lul true
is there another dyeable suit besides best man's jacket?
try asking #glamour-discussion
kk
is there a list or resource somewhere that lists the possible loot from doing each tier of treasure maps
Which bait should I take for the ocean fishing boat duty
If you just want xp then use versatile lure
I barely remember how fishing works
if I want big exp I want large fish, and I want to mooch those for larger fish right?
ocean fishing works a little differently than normal fishing
you want to catch a certain number of fish in the right order to proc rainbow mode

and then once you're in rainbow mode you just want to fish as much as possible
but really it just boils down to fish as much as possible
you need to use the right bait and skill combination depending on the trip
There's a guide somewhere to show what bait helps get the fish to proc spectrals
someone usually yells it at the beginning of each trip
But if you just want braindead xp, versatile lure
A friend of mine just downloaded the free trial from Steam, but its saying he needs a registration code?
I thought it didn't require one?
Heyo, if I’m skipping a savage floor, do I need to get all 8 players for a full party? Or is it enough to have just 2 folks?
Bad idea to do that tbh
if we're talking current savage, then you need a full party
someone in the party needs to have cleared for the week
Okay, thanks!
before you can skip
The party leader needs to be at that floor to bring the party with you
It seems to be with their account, they accidentally made a service account instead of a free trial one, and they can't undo it
Which is bleh
depends on your static's goals and needs
If it wasn't for all the fucking necklaces mine would be done with p1 🙃
last tier we didn't get a single hat drop for months
everyone had to buy their hats with books
is there a list or resource somewhere that lists the possible loot from doing each tier of treasure maps? just want to see the emotes, minions, and glams i guess
finished msq and got all the lvl 90 dungeons and shit, i have gotten an absolute butt ton of materia IX, what do I do with all of it?
like when I wanna meld BiS gear im gonna want materia X anyway
hoard for next tier when people are going to be overmelding again
actually good call
did they ever buff the drop rate of bitter memories on bsf
What’s the furniture item that a few thin wooden beams that goes from the roof to the floor
If I upgrade a relic weapon to its next tier can I still get the older versions for glam and such?
yes, you can buy replicas of it. though may need to complete a couple of more steps before you unlock the vendor that sells it
for the ARR relic you need to complete the relic in its entirety before you can buy replicas though
Ive heard about this before about a place where you can just LB3 for free? Its not like an instanced dungeon im not sure what it is all i know is that when you go in it its just you in the dungeon (or trial cant remember)
Does anyone know what im talking about and how do i get there?
Explore mode lets you place a dummy and use LB whenever.
explorer mode for dungeons
its in the duty finder settings
can only use it for stormblood and up dungeons
for BLU, how do you do leveling gear progression? im level 15 with the level 1 stuff and it's still working...ok i guess
oh ok thanks
just use whatever old caster gear you have
most people probably aren't going to really bother with gear anyway since its easier to have someone power level you to 70
What does tank and heal limit breaks do 🤔
tank lb reduces dmg taken by 20/40/80%, healer lb heals 25/60/100% and at lv3 revives any dead
Anything extra when dps use it rather than big boi damage 🤔
No.
nope literally all it is lol
no, dps lbs are dmg
makes sense
only diff is line vs circle vs single target
!faq limitbreak
Resources by Allagan Studies
Limit Break Explained
Shadowbringers Limit Break Video
Full info
Healers are the only ones with a second effect (raise) on their LB3.
ok
healer LB is useless except for LB3, tank LB is scarcely used outside of LB3 for required mechanics but is sometimes used in early prog for high damage mechanics if needed
99% of the time it's used by dps
Basically, healer and tank LB3 are extremely OP, but super situational.
So that last chunk of Coerthas Western needs flying to reveal? In the south, next to the Anvil.
Apparently you lose sprout after finishing Stormblood, but does anyone know which quest specifically?
U dont
It's shadowbringers now
And 300 hours played
Once you hit endwalker + 300h playtime you lose it
It's Always "get to current expansion + playtime requirements"
yes
Ah ty
why do we have no red, like for real
we have like seven kinds of orange, but we have no real red
that's red
you can get plenty red
but moreover all the options are there
we can't help you
so it's not really relevant to this channel
do people still grind eureka?
For savage loot, if I get my weekly 2 chest clear, and then join a one chest party do I get to roll on that one chest or only the 4-7 members that haven't already gotten their weekly clear get to?
you don't get to roll
thanks!
Is there a place to preview all the Sack of Nuts items from ShB? I'd rather not keep looking at them one at a time if possible
You can also google the Nuts Vendor.
I guess I was just hoping for an album, or something like ffxivcollect.com but for these items since they don't have them there
but aight, one at a time it is
Hello tanks what keys do you press to aggro enemies that are attacking your party members. I main as a healer and I do tank (PLD) but kinda scared now. I usually shield lob or just run through with my aoe attacks but sometimes there are enemies that slip or appear all of a sudden and I kinda panic when that happens. Any tips? Thank you im a sprout btw.
Sorry not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask.

shield lob for getting aggro yeah
Any attack skill. If it's just one and it's far away, you can use your ranged GCD skill or Provoke, if it's multiples you can slide over and AoE them.
your tank stance is a 10x aggro modifier on all damage you do. Any hit should be sufficient
Or just keep running and trust that the party members will bring the enemy within range of your AoE once you've stopped
provoke is also an option
Holding aggro in a party is pretty straightforward because of how the tank stance functions.
what happens to my apartment when i transfer worlds
Is there any go to place for Bozja/Zandor groups?
You have to relinquish ownership of it unless you’re going to a New World
In which case you get the Gil back and extra
cool
In their datacenter channels
Can also try in our datacenter channels
Oh thank you for the response! I must be just over thinking then 🥲 I do make sure my tank stance is on. I guess I just need to pay more attention. Thanks again people 
when does the "no exp because someone in the party is over 5 levels above yours" effect take place?
does it take place when two players in the party are in different regions?
when one of the players is DoH/DoL?
when one player is synced down by FATE but not the other?
Whats the most common map for FATE farming in order to get Bicolor gemstones?
What is the average price range of a house, I'm thinking of getting one
3-5mil for a small, 20-30mil for a medium, 50+mil for a large
Issue isn't going to be the funds, though, so much as the plot availability.
Ah okie, tyvm
There is an extremely limited supply of housing, and right now it's all still first-come-first-win for buying it, with everyone competing against each other to be the first to hit buy when the invisible, hidden, server-side sale timer ends.
Ah
Come the 6.1 patch, iirc, almost all (if not all) wards will be shifted to a lottery system where people who wish to buy a house purchase a lottery ticket for the full purchase price, a drawing is held at some later date, and everyone who didn't win has their full purchase price refunded.
Well I need to save more anyways, but ty for the info
nodnod
does unlocking riding maps increase flight speed or just ground?
flight speed is always the fastest
riding maps dont do anything for flight speed
oh, thanks.
flight speed, is as fast as the fastest ground speed
btw, I would have said something to the previous two questions, but I don't actually know the answer to either, and more crucially I'm not sure how I would find out
<_<
Is there a cap to spiritbond buffs?
no need to clarify, people should realise that not everyone knows all answers, some will go unanswered unfortunately
Like if I use a superior spiritbond potion + better crowned pie, I get a +8 buff to spiritbonding, right?
The 14 in Final Fantasy 14 stands for 14 hours a day, right?
i can't find any information to say they dont stack, so id assume they do
faster actually
maxed out ground speed is still a bit slower than flight speed
do you guys use standard camera mode or legacy one?
Legacy
It’s whatever one feels better to you
standard feels a little weird on combat, and legacy one is idk
Legacy is “you don’t slowly backpedal with the S key”
lol, this made it for me
ill use legacy, thanks
My DS4 controller doesn't have vibration when playing with the game. I remember it did before. Anyone knows why?
Does Fire and Fire III when Firestarter comes up beat spamming Fire IV?
I guess you have to toss a Fire in there every few anyway, for the Astral Fire.
fire 3 to get into fire stance, then fire IV spam till u need to fire 1 to refresh fire buff
Not BLM expert but afaik you only use F1 to refresh astral fire mark and if F3 pops you can just squeze it between F4 since firestarer F3 is just free dmg with 0 mana cost. But dont use f3 outside that and switching from ice to fire

Is there a fishing website that isn't obnoxious like ff14angler? I have adblock for a reason.
good to know thats bad with ads if i try fishing
If you want to track Big fish, there's https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com/.
A big fish tracker for FF14 that uses rarity to sort
Otherwise, look up the spot on Teamcraft.
you can use fire 3 for movement and to extend fire phase if you mess up
after level 60 when you learn fire 4, that's what you should be doing
before level 60, you just use fire 3 procs as you get them since all the fire 1s can generate another f3p
and at endgame optimization you use fire 3 procs with transpose for extra damage
if I finish 'My Big Break' but I'm not on a crafter class, than no EXP is rewarded? Or it goes towards whatever class just got the desynth credit?
Correct. No EXP rewarded if you’re not on a crafter.
bugger
Does anyone know where to get the metal work lantern? Online results say they come from crafter scrips and finishing the crystalline mean quests, but I have all my DoH to 90 and have finished those quests but only see pastry cupboard, fabric rack, and potion rack furniture?
oh nevermind.. I see it now lol, I have to finish one more final quest
3k is both max and mount

whats a domakin?
About how far, as a percentage or fraction of the whole expac do you regain flying in HW? And is the proportion consistant with getting flying back in subsequent expansions?
Kind of fish, I think?
Starting in HW, you unlock flying by zone. One by one. You have to collect green orbs in the field and do some sidequests to unlock flight. You'll be given a compass shortly after the opening chapter which lets you begin unlocking.
Right, I was asking when the compass turns up, but 'early' is good enough.
After the brief split, where you can go to Sea of Clouds and Coerthas West.
Once the paths come together again, you're given the compass after a short solo combat instance.
Because after that the real coerthas west msq begins
Which tank is doing the most dmg?
Dark Knight, based on Savage logs
Is it only tomestones of astronomy that are capped per week?
The 2nd endgame tome available will be weekly capped, that’s right
one was added later, so it’s used for better things
This will continue for the other two tomes added over the expansion
I meant what is the difference between astronomy and aphorism
I just told you
But I was just looking at the list
One tome was added later, so it’s used for better things
can someone please tell me how the data center travel will work in 6.1?
is there an up to date guide for leveling fishing? All I'm finding is out to date stuff that talks about HQ fish, blue-scrip gear, and links to crappy websites for fish data, ect.
Dear god, this guide says to get a belt
is it possible for me to get the disembodied head mount as a solo lvl 20ish archer?
It requires you get a lot of potsherds, and soloing Potd isn’t a cake walk
@dense pier ocean fishing and leves
But yeah it’s “possible ”
I've been spamming ocean fishing but I want to be gaining levels between that.
Also don't even know what fish I need to be getting for leves, which are worth it or not because some fish have drastically lower catch chance than others
You get the fish that the leves ask for? So like look at the leves?
Some Fish are too much trouble to collect
MB
Not gonna MB fish leves lol
That’s your choice
But fish all around are not as fast to get
Its either MB or you do the slow grind via catches
Double/triple hooks and your fsh skills will help you get them slightly faster
Doesn't seem to be updated for Endwalker?
I'm not there yet though
Close, but not yet
This suggests HQ turn ins for leves
that gives double exp, that might not be good exp anymore if they aren't scaling
Which aren’t a thing anymore for gathering
Unless the larger version of the fish counts
I guess at this point I might as well just be patient and go ocean fishing every 2 hours
Seems too much of a mess trying to level normally, not enough information
Yikes, that's a lot for that much
but then again I'm used to getting a stupid amount of levels
I get like +4 levels a trip
I used the exp manuals well
I seem to only have found the Lv70 manuals, 150% exp
Idr if there are better ones, probably white scrip ones?
I think 70 is the best you can get
The squadron ones and the scrip ones do stack iirc
Just patience/ patience 2 and go ham. Large fishes are 2x exp afterall
Ah

can you not buy a replica of bozja recollection?
You can, but only after you upgrade to the Law's Order Step.
well rip
does BLU really just thousand needles stuff to death all the way to 50 omg
not if you value your sanity
i just killed mobs slightly above my level all the way through 70
gather a bunch of them with sticky tongue and aoe them down
yea im now level 35 lol
make sure to have a chocobo heal you
yea i got that goin
1000 needles has way too long a cast time to be worth, after it stops one shotting enemies
think ill stop at 35 for now...started the day at 12
1k needles sounds like a clever way to level
but if you're going to cheese it, just ask a friend to help you level on kholusia mobs
because 1k needles is dull as fuck
for DF, would this fall under other for open world grinding?
You can’t use DF as a blu
i doubt any random people would go out of their way to help you level as there's nothing in it for them
Also like look at the time, you’re not gonna get many hits
real degen hours
you would have to find a particularly bored and generous person to help you out
or a friend
level 35 with 21 skills...ill call it there
I already own the other expansions but if I get the complete edition will i be able to use the 30 days of time in the complete edition that includes endwalker?
How does that work?
30 days come from the base game, not the expansions
if im way overleveled, can i still help my friends out with the first dungeon?
Huh. How common are these cutscenes that hide headwear going to be? I like my concealing hood.

you pull kholusia mobs on the beach with flying sardine, they kill them. you should not be in a party
there's like maybe 4 in the game
even though it says that the complete edition comes with a 30 day free play period?
All level-specific content syncs participants to its maximum level by default, so yes, you will.
there's a better spot in ahm araeng for this
it says so because it comes with the base game
Nothing in EW zones?
it's a pack of like 7 mobs closely grouped
you can't do EW zones due to Blu mage leveling restrictions
Right so pretty much I gotta buy my sub as well as standard Endwalker then?
Idk what that means
but they would probably work for powerleveling 1-15 on regular classes
yes
just have to find a decent EW zone with closely packed mobs
Blu mages don't receive experience from mobs 71 and up
Ah
so you need to powerlevel on 70 mobs

is there any hempen tabard that works for all classes?:< i wanna make a copy of tataru LOL
You can use garlandtools(google it) to find other pieces of gear that share model
that's what I already did
there are no shared models of it that are for anything outside of DoWs
If I'm a tenant in someone's estate, will I see their demolition timer in my estate timers pop up?
No
so my story quest lvl is 50 but bob quest lvl is 15, someone in game told me I'm missing half of my skills and I should do them to get my soul stone, what is it exactly?
Lets say, if u started as a Gladiator you'd now be a Paladin if you did the jobquests. the soulstones unlock the advanced version of ur class
you're also missing incredibly vital abilities and theres a high chance you were a dead weight in some dungeons due to it
If you press P
You will see all the stuff you’ve missing
true! I'm a warrior what one shall I pick if this is how it goes! ^^'
oh true lmao XD
thank you for clearing it out for me
you're missing these for example
How do you obtain false nails? asking for a friend
Anata tribe
When do I want to refresh my dot as a healer? With some sps I'll either clip the last second or have to wait until it runs out to reapply.

The mounts from previous Feast seasons are unobtainable, right?
yeh
Does the healing buff from P3S healer meteors include oGCDs?
Sorry I meant towers*
do you not lose the item that which you base your glamour at
Yes, and I assume you mean fountain of fire. The healing buff affect every single healing spell. Even fairy regen and seraph and lilies. The trick is to get the buff before you deploy these
Aka snaps shot the buff
The buff is acquired by getting hit by the tower?
Ye
got it, ty so much
you mean the item you glamoured over? no
you dont lose the item that you used to glamour over your gear either
oh thanks for clearing it up
the only thing thats consumed is glamour prisms
when do bronze treasure coffers appear in potd?
Do you mean bronze sacks?
ok
its sinking in how much of a grind ive set myself up for with getting the head mount
anyone's ever had the issue of being able to login to mog station and to the game but not lodestone? keeps saying password is incorrect even tho i tried this multiple times before and have logged on before
check your keyboard layout, it may be different when you try to log in in one place
both are on chrome tho
i even tried copy pasting the passwords 
are those services detached or something
nvm im a fucking idiot
you have to use square id not email for lodestone
chrome autofill has failed me 😩
dont worry it's not you, it's square enix and their astronomically stupid account systems
oh yeah, like i did the mistake of playing ff14 on my +10 year old square account that is NA based while I myself am european and play on Light, and even tho I can buy crysta/items/monthly sub through mogstatoin just fine via my mastercard, when i have to buy the new expansion they literally deny my card in the process and to use paypal I also have to use VPN that pretends i'm from NA
wild
Mogstation also uses the id, so like...

anyone else is getting disconnected?? it's done this to me twice while i was queueing 
anyone know off the top where road to 80 ends for materia?
at 80
i meant the date lolll
Unless you mean when they're going to remove it from the servers?
In which case, uncertain. Typically they only reclassify servers around major patch releases, or in extremis (such as the streamer glut that accosted Aether this past year). So, 6.1 might see them take it off of New status? But they might also leave it that way, or push it to Preferred which is functionally identical.
Hard to say until they actually say something.
90 days from character creation, or 90 days after the server loses New/Preferred status, whichever is longer
alrighty. asking becaause i transferred my main and have been powerlevelling, and my FC was under the impression that it ended a month after server launch
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here but I'm a lvl 54 SCH and don't have the lvl 52 spell Indomitability
Job quests, do them
i thought so but can't find alka zola to do it?
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
or whoever the npc is
Check the quest below the msq in ur tracker
there;s no more sch quests
And as the above says
it could be like what this says, you haven't reached before the dawn, aka the first heavensward quest
Have you reached Heavensward.
Hi all! I have a couple of newbie-ish questions
Just finished ARR and got some Hard Dungeon Quests wherein they need higher item level and they drop poetics? Not sure what poetics are for and currently I use the armor sets I get from job quests (blm atm) and should usinh these gear be the best way until endgame or do I have other choices?
Is it possible to change from immortal flames to the maelstrom
And can free trial accounts purchase stuff from the store like costumes and mounts?
Thanks!
- Poetics are used to buy high-tier gear from an expansion after that expansion's post-release cycle. if you go to mor dhona you can find the splendors vendors to trade with
- You have to rank to where you unlock squadrons to change grand companies.
- No
Oh I see. How about if I buy some stuff on sale now, will it allow me to buy and hold them till I get thr full game?
No
no, your account needs to have the full game to count as a valid service account unfortunately
Ohh i see thanks for all the help!
There's a couple limited things free trial can buy like fantasia iirc, but yeah you basically can't use the store
can anyone give me your easiest way to resolve p4s pinax 1 and 2 for my monkey brain
or just a tip
focus and it will come to you 🙂
Keep your hp above 0 and hit it til it dies
i think #endgame-lounge was talking about it a few days ago
havent done p4s myself tho
arghhh my monkey brain panics, im good at first pinax, the second one is abit
is there a way to enable sound of the game during alt tab?
Don't run to narnia for the second pinax since he's gonna deco immediately after
ok got it
so i purchased the complete edition on the NA store and turns out my account is on EU.
anyone had this happen or know of a similar incident and know if it can be refunded?
i contacted support and they said they can’t exchange and to contact my retailer.
that was a support message to EU help so i sent another support message to NA support and seeing what they say
afaik if you already opened the code, you can't refund it
but yeah if you are playing from AU, your account will be EU & other region
yeah i never knew codes were region locked and i was directed to the na site when buying code
i bought the code from store since i wasnt given an option to buy complete edition and it wasnt til after i purchased and went back in that the option to buy complete edition showed up
which sucked even more cause i’d have saved 20 bucks buying through euros instead of usd lol
AUD currency is available
yup i got that and im from nz
cheers though
ah ok
try sending in a ticket ?
i have yeah
first ticket i sent was to EU help store and they said to talk to my retailer so i had to open up another ticket on NA store lol
just waiting on the response to see where i’ll go from there but i’ve seen a few reddit posts where people had their money refunded so hopefully all goes well
Did the sub price go up? The entry sub was 50.07 Zł a few days ago, now it's 51.55.
No. They would’ve said something if it did
Meybe VAT got bigger in Poland then... thanks
Conversion rates will fuck with everything if you're not usd, gbp or eur
Anyone eventually got a BLU Skill set for fates?(with numbers)
Nothing can really be done there I'm afraid
How can Castrum Lacos Litore spawn? And is there a timer for this somewhere?
I see. Thanks!

yes, the augment items (barring the weapon augment) are added to nuts same time as alliance raid release
cool
Do I join castrum litore just like any critical engagement?
Yeeees…?
Okay thanks 🙂
I skipped over dialogue in the quest, regrettably, and now I don't know what to do. How do I get my Yoshimitsu Nexus to Sasuke's Blades? Do I need another sphere scroll?
is their a way to turn down the super brightness in places? I have tried changing Glare as suggested online but it seems to change nothing at all
Arent dungeons supposed to kick whos afk for more than 10 minutes?
type /partycmd, right click the afk person, vote dismiss -> reason: afk
Yes, 10mins since the last action they did
do EX trial mounts actually have a higher chance of dropping when done synced or am i being fed a tall tale
Couldnt cus ppl kept getting the loot, and cant kick while loot is still rolling.
I could swear it had been 10 min or more cus he afked from 2nd pack in Tower of Zot till 2nd boss, and ppl didnt want to kick ..
he was dead
cus got pulled into first boss room, and just stayed dead for the whole time
honestly annoying
was this ever the opposite in the past? i think they're remembering old rules
min ilvl does increase some drops of things like music rolls
but otherwise no
its never effected mount drop rates

Even with limited levelling roulette I still keep getting Sastasha and Haukke Manor all the time
Cause, as it says in the description, it only works in a full group
only works with a full party
the 3rd quest from the resistance weapon is asking for 6 memory fragments of wrath?
Sth like that.
I can get them in every 60+ dungeon and the daily Level up thing can give 1 per week...
I assume they are rare in general?
Spam anti tower or cluster farm in bojza and they're easy as fuck to get
leveling roulette gives 1 per day
100% drop from duty roulette leveling
it said week :>
it comes with the bonus, so you can't spam duty roulette leveling
if you want a spam method, spam antitower
kk :>
Ty for the help
Was just curious
Hope the Bard weapon looks good in the end
once per day
if you just keep doing leveling roulette once a day on any job you will eventually have more fragments than you need
glamour are subjective, you could look up how they look before finishing it
dont have to be on the same job, but have to have the quest in your log
but I reckon the augmented brilliance is quite popular
Quests says tho per week '-'
it doesnt
Pics or you’re lying
i dont see it
What are good manual Bard keyboard keybinds for the full piano keyboard? I just starting with it and I'm trying to play around and see what feels natural, was wondering if anyone has come up with "the best" option there would be tho. I'm using a Nordic (specifically Finnish) computer keyboard
Question about job specific armor sets. Like for BLM I got the sorcerer set (lvl50, ilvl 90) but then since I am using the ironworks set, i cant store the blm set in the armoire. If I store them on the glamour, where can I get prisms?
Can I also discard/sell them and is there a way to get them back or something?
from gc seals is the easiest probably
or you could just buy from marketboard
for the ilvl 50, you could just throw them away
There is no best
You just find what works for you
if you like the ilvl 90 one, you should put them inside glamour dresser with the prisms
😔
For example a lot of good brd players would have muscle memory from older iterations of the job and changed their hotbars and future layouts to go along with that
So you gotta figure it out for yourself
I would recommend to use the one that has the same size/resistance with your keyboard probably
Though is there anything missable like if i dont use then should i just sell them or extrsct materia or something?
It's just difficult because a computer keyboard only has so many keys lined up next to each other compared to a piano/MIDI keyboard layout
extract materia cost nothing
Extracting materia is free af
I just play on controller lol
Nothing is missable
Not sure how well a controller translates to a piano keyboard, seems even more difficult 😅
are you talking about bard in combat or performance?
You can reobtain pretty much everything
Just the performance
ah yeah theres even less info on that lol
Ohh i see thanks!
I only found one video of a person doing a keybind thingy for it
And most people seem to just use some pre-made music/MIDI stuff, but I want to try playing it manually dang it!
Most people just midi it up
What's the fun in that
yeah have no idea, I never touched any midi keyboard myself
whats the fun in performing stuff?
its all personal reasons
like how it feels etc, it might feel a bit different compared to normal keyboard/piano
I only ever seen this one post, but the poster didn't share how he did it 👀
just "hooking up midi keyboard"
I do have a large Yamaha MIDI keyboard laying around, but yeah... Probably "easier" in a sense to just use the computer keyboard, though playing songs will still be much more difficult :d
it's not easier to use computer keyboard
oh you mean like more convenient? more space-saving like that?
I meant in terms of not having to use extra programs that will do the translation from keyboard input to computer input
Piano keyboard input to computer keyboard input, because the game obviously doesn't detect the former
its from the quest tho
so is mine
I can only tell ya what the quest says :>
and i can tell you from experince its not weekly
ye i had it up for like a month and just left it there on my second weapon
idk, maybe a translation mistake in german
i've got like 20 just vibin lol
yeah, and you'd think they would have caught that by now
tbf tho the SSS journal entry for p4n was not translated from JPN in the english version for two weeks
Can you force complete a "kill as many enemies as possible in the allotted time" leve?
nope
Aight thanks 
Combat leves are bad anyway, don’t do em
I assume ARR relic

theres no point in keeping materia XIII unless you intend on penta melding?
Grade 13 materia don’t exist yet
Does Endwalker on Steam include add previous DLCs ? There are none to buy apart from this one, wth
yes, it does.
Yes, it tells you so in the description
This post has images of every stage of the Bard Resistance Weapon.
You can look at them and see if you'd like to take it all the way to the end.
No need. :> Don't wanna ruin the suprise
Alright.
ty tho :>
where do i find alexandrite? it says aurianna sells for 75 poetics but i dont see iut
what do i do with gear like this, class specific, cant desynth or sell, do i just discard?
dont want for glamour either
Get rid
You need to buy mysterious maps from her
@twilit arch i dont see it from her either :// or the sacred spring water
mysterious maps are their own menu section
sacred spring water is under the "special arms"
just found a glam i want to use, costs 14 bozja coins, how long does it take to farm those and what are the requirements? im rank 7 in bozja
You get 50 coins per castrum run
What was the website that told you the percentage you have left of msq
Which you have to do to even start getting them
hey wasnt there a site that shows how well each class performs? im trying to find it
Fflogs shows the damage each job does at the various percentiles
can i do castrum with rank 7 or is that later?
10
yea thats it thanks
do i have to be at that step of the quest?
Fixed party, just like Potd

when do beast tribe quests reset?
!daily
where's the @ someone randomly lottery channel, amirite?
I just upgraded to the PS5 version, would I have to replay the game for any story based trophies?
Trophies apply retroactively. Just takes a little bit.
@dusk lintel yo, that’s a damn good question!
Like it physically takes time to sync? I did a trial to see what would happen and at the very least got my 50/60/70/80 level trophies but that's it so far
Does 1 alliance raid come out next update, or all 3?
1
Thanks dawg
Im just tryna make some friends who like final fantasy, not too many like our kind yknow?
how do i switch between the zodiac stages?
I been wondering that too
Hmm, so like the zodiac you're assigned at birth, or otherwise?
You can buy replicas once you fully finish a zodiac
just a jokeQ
This channel isn't for joking
@dusk lintel jokes go in the joke channel my man
If you mean the quests, you can’t have the same step active for multiple jobs
How do I read this website and tell which bait to use where & when:
Schedule for upcoming ocean fishing voyages with information on blue fish, achievements, and more.
If you click the fish icon
@trim cape what?
Is the reason why paladins damage is lower is because it has more forms of mitigation, which equals healers not healing as much, so they can focus on dps, so in return, paladins damage evens out to somewhere around dark knights?
No
You’re not supposed to use clemency,

Not here
no.
Take your jokes out of here
What joke
And don't quit your day job either
Are you talking to me?
Yes
Who else
When you said gcd of nuts before ninja editing
Also mits aren’t gcds
Is there a good channel here to ask for help running extreme HW bosses? I'm doing unrestricted but just cant kill a few of them
OGcds my bad
are there good discord servers for fate trains in eureka ? (preferably chaos/ moogle)
Make a PF
Party finder?
as archer, do i need to wait for skill animation to finish before i do another skill?
Did they update that? I saw a video saying otherwise a while back
That description couldn’t be any less helpful
Hmm good point
most discreet way of examining someone? lol
alternatively /c "Character Name
what counts as a "high level" duty in terms of achievment like this
anything lvl 90?
Extremes and savage raids
extremes, normal and savage raids

Do I dump all phlegmas on buffs or keep 1 for movement?
Do I need to do the Stormblood DoH/DoL story quests?
Yeah they have useful skill/trait unlocks
Yes
They're very easy too, you get the items for free and as many tries as you need
Really? I don't think I ever finished them on my DoH and they're all 90 with all skills unlocked
You need them for skills
or even touched them with my BTN/MIN
Manipulation being the most prominent one
I think up until you unlock manipulation no?
Yeah looks like I stopped at Lv68 for all my DoH
Eh might be fine then, I assumed you meant overall, can't remember if the 70 one gives anything useful
think its the quality trait
Yes, unless you need it very early for movement which rarely happens much
kk
Yea just materia and some exp
Err, upper one is stb, dunno what happened to the cropping
Idr doing anything Stormblood related DoL though. It's been over a year though
Just finally leveling my fisher atm
Looks like you gotta do all the DoL ones
you get enhanced regen at the end
Btw, I forgot. Is it Stormblood that forces you to have to do things on your own thus preventing you from buying things off the Marketboard?
Yes
but they also make it so at least the final step of crafting is free materials
Yeah, but I'm DoL leveling atm
which is also why you never get XP for making the item
ah
yeah they just give quest triggered nodes with "smoky" or some other adjective on existing items or items that have no other purpose but for the quest. and are untradeable XD they mustve caught on to people buying through the quests otherwise
hahaha
which i may have bought my way through ARR crafting and mooch fishing quests
Yeah that's what I started doing post 40
one you get HW and beyond leves there was less buying through levels, just crafting and whatnot

which job do you guys prefer for solo potd, RDM or MCH?
If Im logged into the launcher on one computer and its updating for the next hour, can I also log into the launcher on my other computer and play? Or is it going to cancel my update on the first comp?
