what kinda game have you played where only 1 client is allowed to download an update
it's a tech/IT thing, it makes sense. but there's not really any harm in just trying it
This is the only game Ive played that requires you to log into an active service account just to download updates, lets be real
the only real issue is if you're updating at home but at a friends house, if it kicked you out you'd lose update time
You only need to log into their launcher, your account doesnt even need to be active. But Ive also never done what Im talking about with bnet either
if you have access to both computers, just give it a try
K ty
just make sure to check the other to see if its still updating if you log in on the other
i think GW2 checks for updates before login, its been a while but i think it doesn't even let you enter your info as it updates?
Gw2 will update without logging in, and you can log into the launcher while it updates, AND you can even play while its still downloading updates lol. Gw2 infrastructure is living in the year 3022.
But after PlayOnline I willprobably never complain about the xiv launcher lol
At least it's not that.
XD it's been so long i forgot they did that
i remember Assassin's Creed Unity did a first few missions install, beat them so fast against slow internet that I couldn't continue for a bit XD
Is there smth else to do to get this quest? Im at the correct place but theres no npc here or anything
Did you complete the side quest it has listed?
and you actually finished spirits most foul?

Where do I find my aether current collection for the sea of stars?
I actually did not, it was unfinished and i didnt notice. Thanks (:
It’s not in that menu for me
It is, check the tabs for each expansion
Oh once I left the area it showed up 😄
Have you played FFX? They’re similar to the Ronso in a way
does MiNe also syncs the lower part or your gear's substats or are you still capped substats at that ilvl?
Min ilvl syncs you down to the minimum possible ilvl needed to enter the duty. If your gear is high enough ilvl than both stats will be capped at the synced ilvl
Min ilvl doesn't change how sync works, it just brings it lower
Is there really no better spearfish in the game?
There's only 1 spear yes
ah so those substats will still go quite a long way, thanks
Does anyone know if this can be sped up?
No

Hello everyone! I was in the middle of playing and randomly got logged out of my account! When i went to log back in the password was changed and a one time password was added! Im not to sure what to do
is there any way to know to what square enix id my steam cd-key is registered to?
i have access to both of my square enix accounts
but i cant find info there
the keys go into mogstation @rugged sinew
i know.. is there any way to see what key is connected to my mogstation account?
the problem is that i have a key in my steam library that i bought back in 2013. and i dont remember what square enix account it linked to
does critting a dot also apply to the actual dot dmg, or only the initial on hit potency? same for direct hit
but i thought dots snapshot buffs?
They do
or do those interact differently than cirt mods like dragons life surge
Ensures critical damage for first weaponskill used while Life Surge is active.
Duration: 5s
Effect cannot be applied to damage over time.
Additional Effect: Absorbs a portion of damage dealt as HP
Maximum Charges: 2
oh derp
effect can't be applied to dot
im blind
I want to play dragoon/reaper what class should i start?
mage playstyle doesn't rly suit me
Is there a bug with clusters from daily roulettes? Just ran first alliance roulette of the day on level 81 character by myself and didn't get any clusters
were u adventurer in need?
i vaguely remember seeing a similar post on reddit
lancer start, but u can play all classes on one char anyway
Lancer is dragoon
hello
i just re subbed my account and i cant find my account
i mean my character
make sure you've selected the correct data center
how do you do the blossom buddies challange? who is considered my companion?
Your chocobo
Yep
where's the best place to do fates? most of the ones i see are empty and no one is doing them
Any husband and wife combos out there - my wife is getting into ffxiv and doing the free trial. Assuming she gets hooked, is there a 'family' sub available?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/FATEs
there's a hotspot section that shows location and level
No
k thx!
fates for what? what you're looking to get out of it shapes the answer
challenge log
well if you're going solo ones with the crossed weapons tend to be best, just killing lots of mobs. if you can sustain yourself, boss fates with the face are possible as well
if its not level restricted, lower level fates tend to have more npcs fighting as well

I have a question about leveling in eureka. I did all my challenge logs there so now do I just keep fighting monsters until I level up?
fates
kinda depends tho on which part of Eureka you are rn
also use Potions of Harmony for 10% boost and look out for Fairys
The first part. I’m level 13 right now
Well, the first Area is the most annoying one.
Try to get a group and go spawn and do fates.
So what level would I be able to get the elemental armor at;-; because that’s my main goal
its endgame
Oh you're awhile from thar
Pyros* you get the first version
You need to be in pyros
With a pagos weapon done
So you'll need to be progressing your weapon in anemos and pagos
am i stupid or is chromite ore gone? its in neither of the tabs, and afaik a lvl 70 item
Could I at least have it finish if i do it by the end of next week or something
Well I can’t no life grind because I have college classes
theres some Discord Servers specialised on Eureka/Bozja.
There you can actually get groups.
The Anemos weapon is pretty easy to get.
Pagos is pretty fast too.
Then the real grind starts.
But what's to expect there?
Its obv. endgame content
What are some servers if I may ask
could any of you check gathering log for me?
Dude just Google the item
i did...
you need the folklore tome first
You didn't buy the folklore book
Dunno for your Datacenter.
Only got some on Europe
thank you
Ok so I bought the game without looking into it that much (my fault) the starter edition assuming I would get it without having to pay for the subscription again my fault but since I used steam I have 11 hours because of the launcher so that hurts my chances of getting a refund even more, so I was wondering if there’s any way to get a refund at this point
I bought on steam btw
no
well you get 30 days free
!faq subprice
And I don’t like subscribing to things that aren’t internet or tv
Well ig I get $50 next week so it hurts less
well you can play the game and see how you enjoy it
Is there actually any funny/hard to reach climbing spots? in Ul'dah n such? (Appart of sightseeing)
if I leave the dg in the middle of my solo potd run, do i have to restart at floor 1?
That’s a loss so yeah
Yes
There's one in Kugane
hey wich am i suppost to click if i allready have an account and is trying to logg back in the trail
so im willing to no life a mansion search...how do i do this lmao
Hope you don't mean Kugane Tower.
That one is to easy
or at least, prep for ishgard housing
I couldn't manage 
sadge :c
You have an account then
yes a trail account
I also don't have a sightseeing log
what do i do i allready have a squer enix account
wich do i chose
you need a mogstation account, I think?
a what now
but that looks like the full launcher, I think?
!faq mogstation
Square Enix account is seperate from your mogstation account < the one you use to log into game
If you already had one, you can pick that you already have one 
is there a good explanation of what to expect for 6.1 when ishgard housing drops? FC wants to upgrade, but obviously housing situation currently is...grim
oh i thoguht from the LL u could bid like current, or lottery?
They've detailed the system twice in the last live letter and another previous one
You don't bid
It's a lottery
You pay upfront then wait to see who wins
You can only enter 1 lottery at a time
^ tbh.
It stills seems that all the whales have a massive benefit
Just because of their cash
Nah, everyone has a equal shot
so pulled up some summaries of the feb LL, and saw this
The system benefits no one
How?
can only enter 1 lottery at a time
doesnt that imply the current system will still exist, in some manneer?

Lottery.
So money is gone.
Whales
can just do it over and over again
if you don't get the plot, you are refunded
Imagine lottery would work irl like that
assuming you talk to the npc
It’s not an IRL lottery so
You are limited to a single lot if you do opt for lottery however. You won’t be able to submit for multiple draws.
And you can't withdraw
To stop trolls jacking up the number of entries
It's as fair as possible
And if the winner doesn't claim their plot, their money goes poof and it's up for lottery again
I wonder how people with botnets will exploit this
There's basically no way for it, since it's down to luck really
They would need fuck ton of accounts just to try and get it under their name
1/x chance of getting picked
can i turn in mining collectables into anyone or are there specific items appraisers want?
all of the house of splendors npcs are connected
House of Splendors collectables will always have the prefix of Rarefied
so it doesn't matter which one you turn into
correct, same with the scrip exchange
ah ok, i have one that starts with rarefield
that said, not all collectables are house of splendors turn ins
just keep in mind that there is a rotation
But yeah you can submit them to any House of Splendors NPC
what about strong steppe spice?
as reze noted the ones wanted by the house of splendors are "rarefied"
so some items might not be tradeable that week
ohh
No they killed the rotation
did they? i could swear it was still doing that
strong steppe spice is a custom delivery collectable
its not a turn in to the house of splendors
For Adkiragh to be specific
then again i leveled gatherers so fast this expansion i barely had to do those
Rotation was removed when they revamped collectibles
that's good then
Its hard to get a Elemental Coat of Casting +1 and Thyros atma?

Not hard, just grindy
Im asking couze i see this photo and im in love for the armour
you'd need to get to the end of eureka
which takes around 3 ish weeks at a casual pace
Ill grind 
Nice dress. I have level 90 blm how do I get this dress?
Eureka
?
Stormblood relic zones
Specific quest?
Yes, the EUREKA quests
hey everyone, where do i even begin to look for people to do older raids on savage? i wanna go thru the eden savage raids but i never see PF parties or anything for it
We shall call it eureka in Rhalgars
Make a PF
So rhalgars have the quest
For the first zone yes
Ok. Thought I did all the quests.
i've been waiting for hours but not even a single person joined 😦
see above. getting that robe will take a few weeks worth of grinding
it's a lot more than just "a sidequest"
Ain’t it like midnight or something in Europe
Ok so where do I start. How does it begin?
also tbh that screenshot makes the robe look better than it actually is
after getting the glams and music, is it really only materia left to spend nuts on now?
it's too bulky and baggy and the details on it are like, pixelated lol
yeah i guess that doesn't help with monday being tomorrow
!quest we shall call it eureka
they already told you the quest above
!quest And we shall call it eureka
Ty understand
is there a way to check how much aetherpool other people have?
Im doing the refugee quest
and i keep losing to the shield guy and the saber guy
am i supposed ot kill saber dud efirst?
NVM I did it
When's the limit of when I can take my winnings from the Jumbo Cactpot?
Ist it Saturday only?
how tf do people jump on the left lamp next to the Adventurers guild in Ul'dah? oô
You have until the next numbers are revealed
Hype. TY @boreal storm
if you're there within the first hour of new numbers you get a 10% bonus
!fr
It’s not, go to their Twitter
ok ty ty
does sprout/mentor exp boost apply to DoH/DoL?
whats the max level a atherpool can be, both on Palace and heaven
99
thx
The DoH/DoL one does for sure
hmm accidently bought multiple master blacksmith IX books, what do I do with it?
1 in saddle bag, 1 in inventory
I think you’d need to contact support to have them get rid of the spares
Since they’re not an item you can discard.
ok ty ty
oh right, ok ty ty
yeah I just overflown with white scrips, so I just thought I will purchase multiple, then I realised I already bought and put them in my saddlebag -_-
how long does 100-200 potd take with a 4 man?
if few people know what they are doing, probably around 4-5 hours
Is there a way to upload ff logs to my character? It's set to public but doesn't show up on my profile 
you need to download the fflogs uploader
i already have that
i just discovered an old reddit thread about how fps affects recast timers...does that still hold up today? https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/8s05rn/the_recast_time_on_your_tooltip_can_be_up_to_85/?sort=top
yeah, I thought it's for every game? 🤔
maybe...i just never made the connection of high fps actually affecting stuff...thought it was just placebo effect
don't other game also like this? like if you are lagging so much, it's kinda natural that your response is delayed
use cable connection, get 60 fps stable, I reckon that's gucci
delayed response is fine...but moving slower as someone else with a better PC is where it gets wack to me
/a yeah
ty

Yes this is a thing. It’s so negligible that no one cares except the cursed monk mentors on the Balance
How do you rename friend groups ?
I have a friend who just renewed their subscription but it won't allow them to log in. Do they just have to wait a few minutes for the transaction to go through?
how often can redmage res? 🤔
Every other gcd until they run out of mana
compared to SMN for example, is the difference that big?
dualcast affects verraise, so yes
how does dual cast work?
oh I get it now, ok ty ty
cast one spell (with a non 0 cast time). your next GCD, if it's a spell, is instacast
I misread
Provided you hardcasted a spell
Is having RDM really that helpful in prog? like compared to SMN
It can be
Depending if you actually have time to get everyone up before the mechanic
like if you would join a random PF to helpout practice groups, would you rather be the healer/RDM is ok?
that can take the heavy lifting
if many people dies
ah ic in this case tank will allow more people to see further mech? since they could survive longer
Mechanics would kill you regardless
healer trying to better understand living dead here. does living dead wear off after some time if walking dead is not triggered?
is it always far left of statuses? actually nvm ill be able to find it
Also like, if they dropped to 1 hp
It’s go time
ok thanks everyone 😄
Every time my friend tries to load into the game, it just instantly boots him out and doesn't give an error code. Hes new and on free trial. Is there any reason this might happen or is it happening to anyone else?
Ok Ty ty
if im in a dungeon with a drk should i be letting them hit 1 hp on all the pulls? (i find it very hard to not keep everyone topped off)
2 min recast?
Much longer
You wish invulns were on 2min cd
o wow 5 min xD
Would literally break the game
ive been leveling lots of jobs to better understand them. need to start tank role soon
Warrior is effectively every 25 seconds for 8 seconds in dungeons later tho
Because Bloodwhetting
Hi guys, just recently started and currently CNJ 25, I was wondering is it okay if I switch to ACN or THM at this point? I admit it's kind of a snoozefest just casting Stone every 2s in PVE
Can?
If you want to
sorry, arcanist
CNJ gets better when it becomes whm
IIRC you can change to WHM at 30?
!faq job
Yes, that’s when you get your job stone
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
okay, I guess I'll stick it out a bit since I'm almost there
Healer dps rotations are bland in general
Whm is good, I swear
btw can you get mercenaries (like in diablo) during the FT?
They’re called retainers and no
oh, okay
What is the best food for PoTD
Kinda doesn't matter since you only get the vit portion of the food
So whatever somewhat high level food you have, anything like lv70+ to cap the vit stat when synced
Can you get more than 1 spectral current per voyage?
Hey should I take my time with the story because I’m lv 85 sage with 82 MSQ. I have a lv 75 scholar and I feel that it will be easy to lv up to 90 together with sage since there similar classes
Should I slow down and go lv up my scholar to 82 to continue MSQ or just hit 90 on my sage first
I’d level concurrently
I would’ve lost exp in EW had I not had Rpr and whm at a similar level
up to you hehe
As long as you're lv89 at a certain point in the story, you'll be fine co-leveling classes. There were quite a lot of people who got level-locked from the story because they leveled one class with only the MSQ, and the story outpaced them right there.
If you do some roulettes on a few days and/or turn in a book or two, you should be fine though.
Idyllshire
Hahah ty I’m like it should be here
Hey all, I stopped playing a month or so before Endwalker came out and figured I’d wait to jump back in until queue times were back to normal-ish (and play something else in the meantime). How are they in general? Or on Famfrit/Primal in particular?
They're pretty good now, yeah.
Once I burn out on Elden Ring I think I’ll resub
Queue times are next to nothing on Gilgamesh, one of the most populated NA servers.
Rarely have to wait more than 1-2 minutes even during peak hours.
I'm on Aether, one of the most bogged-down datacenters, and my queue time is currently like half a minute to log into the game.
Awesome!!
Welcome back!
Yeah I considered resubbing in December but couldn’t justify waiting in queues lol. Thanks!
Any newer players have questions or need help with queues ?
hey guys! I have a question about limit break. I heard that skills that buff your attack dont affect limit break damage. Is that true?

I see, thank you!
Is it possible to fly in Bozja? If so, how would one achieve it? If not, any ways to spend up mount speed? A little unbearably slow. lol
no, buy riding maps
Can the rank of Master in a FC be passed onto someone else?
Bozja riding map purchased with Bozjan Clusters
Is there a cooldown period?
not afaik
I wanted to make my own FC, but found out that I have to wait 24 hours after leaving an FC. So I was thinking I could get a friend to make it and then pass Master to me
Seems like a hassle compared to just waiting
Probably so
Yeah. That's true. My apologies
No need for that, lol, it's a legitimate question.
nothing to apologise for
Whom
Is more solo good? Warrior or Paladin?
Oh damn, why didn't they allow flying? lol I'll save for something else then with my clusters, thanks so much! 🙂
Warrior is usually the go-to for soloing stuff, but PLD is also quite capable
Flying sort of defeats the purpose of the zone, unfortunately. I would also like flying in those zones, but mountspeed is the best we can do.
Flying would trivialise the whole traverse the battlefield thing
And probably have issues with the borders of CE arenas and stuff
Grab the riding map 1000%
It’s the same speed as flying
Just gotta move around terrain
And you will absolutely notice the movement speed different, lol. It is like night and day.
alrighty, then I'll get the map! Thanks! 🙂
hello folks
what lvl is the PoD to start with a toon ?
Lvl 17 msq for the unlock
It is nowhere near the same speed as flying
but it is very significant compared to base speed
Ain’t the arr maps the same speed as flying?
n
no
even 2star isn't as fast as flying
And Bozja only takes you to 1star
so it's nowhere near
Okay, so I just unlocked Reaper, geared up, and some of the gear I have equipped has, like, a warning icon over part of it. Anyone able to tell me whyfor?
but it is a hell of a lot faster than base
Huh. Never double checked I guess
glam issue
also i did notice some maps you cant go fast till you hit a certain msq quest
like me on foundation or somewhere i could not go fast till i get a quest that would allow me to move faster and fly
Foundation's a city
and i was like wtf i had to reach all that before
beyond foundation
falcon that i remember now
coethas west
Yes that's literally every zone in ARR HW and SB
1star speed is locked behind completing the MSQ for that area
I am looking for a DPS meter for Mac M1 computer , can anyone give me advice ?
If i use the name changing service, can i change it again after 24 hours? or is there a bigger lockout
Looks like only the 24 hour lockout time
yey i can truly be tataru
Well, you might want to test with an Alt if the name isn’t taken
Unless you did that already
Because unlike the Fantasia, you MUST use the character rename before you can log in.
hey i just unlocked delubrum reginae in bozja but everytime i get in theres only 3 to 4 people so how am i supposed to complete it
ive never made a group before how do i do that
Open up the party finder menu, start recruitment, and select Delubrum Reginae as the duty
It should be in the last or second-last category
Or see if there’s another listing for DR already up
i see, thanks

get pure essence based on your role, then recruit other 7 people with pure essence, then it should be easier
healer can use aetherweaver/profane and no need for pures
Is there a list of sightseeing spots with the ones that need flying marked?
Why wouldn’t you do them after you have flight?
not sure what's giving the damage up, but the mechanic is simple in writing
boss targets two AoEs at a time on the two closest players
so usually people have tanks, then melee, then ranged bait the aoes
they just bait them right in front of the healer towers and then run through the boss behind the opposite bird
apparently our ast slid out of the tower just barely too early
anyone know how to smooth the edges of some textures when in borderless fullscreen? I've been struggling for a while and don't know how to fix it:( i also can't even go into fullscreen cause of laptop+monitor weirdness
just looks so jarring sometimes
Wasn't there a shortcut that lets you try on all of another persons outfit on your character at once?
I don't see a button for it now, but I swear there was one...
You can toggle the save outfit option, but you still have to select each item to try on
This is unfortunately an issue with the asset resolution for the game's textures. What you're looking at is the actual pixel-sized border of the item's texture
It'll show up the same regardless of the resolution or window size your computer uses.
In order to smooth those edges out, you'd have to find or create a mod that would be capable of subdividing those native pixels and interpreting the new shading of each of the subdivisions contextually with the surrounding pixels' colors.
my friend has ffxiv on steam, but only the barebones version. they dont have the option to buy the full game in a bundle, only the expansions separately.
if i gifted them the bundle, would they be able to use their current account/character on it?
You can’t apply complete edition if you’ve already registered starter
@cosmic iron no they wouldn’t, give your friend an EndWalker code
oof
thanks
Anyone know how to unlock Wawalago as a triple triad opponent? Like which side quests I'd need to complete?

it doesn't look like he has any requirements but if you have a quest active that he's a part of he won't battle you
Heey so like
for gatherers
What materia should be the priority?
Does GP even matter? Seems to me like Perception and Gathering are super important
GP you need to hit specific breakpoints
So you can do certain rotations
Gathering is breakpoint too
What if you just want to gather as much as possible as soon as possible?
Not really caring about the timed nodes for scrip stuff
Okay, I'm not sure I'm doing Trust right...
I just did an old dungeon and Trust, and none of the companions gained a single point of exp.
What am I doing wrong?
Avatar mode, not scenario
To clarify, in scenario mode, it'll recreate the trusts as they were in the main story quests. In avatar mode, they have their own exp and levels that you have to raise by taking them through dungeons.
Oh fuck me... I thought that was just for the options and such.
Does this game go on sale more often on Steam or the Square website
The unspoiled mining node for min/btn collectibles are usually just 1 node right?
The timed nodes? Yes. Untimed nodes have a couple spawn points but give much less exp/scrips.
ahhh yea the timed ones. ahhh ic thank you! 🙂
So wait, you're with avatars of those characters in this mode? What exactly is the point of that? 
You can use whoever, despite where they’d actually be story wise for said dungeon
also achievements
Well yeah but revisiting duties in the first place isn't exactly lore-friendly ether.
Weird they'd be a stickler about it here. :x

is the x.1 BiS typically the same as the x.0 BiS?
arnt the 24 man's just catch up for savage
Idk if that gear’ll be better than Savage gear tho
Ye
so it will be BiS till .2
I’m really excited for this alliance
yeah AR seems nice usually, good storyline, decent wipefest day 1
I hope the Menphina gear looks nice
I started EW-pre, so I only saw back-stuff
When and how do I get the Teleport ability unlocked? Tired of using return and then walking to where my quest is
You… put Teleport on your hotbar?
you unlock it when you atttune to your first big aetheryte
it should be on your bar
You get both at the same time
It says it isn't learned yet when I click it
Attune to another aetheryte
Maybe because you haven’t attuned to a second one yet
Ah, okay. So I gotta attune to two big crystals to get it then. Okay.
Don't worry, before you know it, you should be attuned to like 15
Also make sure to attune to every small aetheryte in cities
I didn’t do that in Gridania for a while because I didn’t know what those were for 
Imagine not touching the shiny blue rocks
I've been attuning to all the small ones on Ul'Dah because I am naturally drawn to shiny things
where might i spend my tomestones in ShB
Eulmore, Crystarium
In Eulmore or the vendor by the Aetheryte in the Crystarium once you beat 5.0
what is the most common countdown timer in seconds to use?
depends what party comp you have
ast needs at least like 25
but if its not endgame raids just do 10
and for endgame 25 should be good? or is that too long
I don’t even see people do countdowns in casual content 99% of the time
25 is fine
me wanting to get my big pp drk opener off

how hard is a unreal trial
Extreme trial difficulty
Unreal just old ex scaled to current lvl cap. The only handicap is you cant power ilvl it cuz last time it cap your ilvl to 435 which is just slightly higher base ShB AF gear (ilvl430)
Lets say extreme plus
You can't out gear it
But it's still only extreme level mechanics
can you change name?
thats fine
i was just asking
i was probably going to change my name to something else bc i probably would change my appearance and i made my name in accordance to the race i chose
im guessing paypal isnt an option to pay for sub?

AU doesn't have crysta option. If you want to use paypal option, have to use steam version of FFXIV
Can I apply thunder 3 during umbral ice?
its not fire
you can apply it anywhere
ah ok
AF boosts fire spells
thunder is the same everywhere as long as you have enochian active
not currently, they're new worlds so transfers are free
when their status changes to standard/etc it'll cost like normal transfers

ah
thanks for giving me a quest about it game
any crafting and gatherer guides or advice, all my crafters are almost 63 and my gatherers are 65. idk what i should to to get to 70,80,90 etc
to do*
leves/collectables in kugane, crystarium, sharlyan
can i just simply buy diadem mats from MB and appraise them to potkin
If they're on the MB, they're already appraised
the not-appraised mats can't be marketboarded
if im above the level for the quest sync, will it sync upwards?
it will sync you down to the level it's capped at
ahhh
do i have do ALL of these fates for my relic weapon (dragoon) and do I have to wait a specific hour when the Fate shows up?
oh so its synced up? cause my DNC is lv74, and the quest is lvl50
Might be beast tribes/shb+ side quests?
It only syncs it up to a point so you'd likely get same reward as if you were 60, probably
ooo okiez~
Random chance to drop from any fate in the area
So you have to do fates in each area until you get all of them
i see, but do i do all of them for my specific weapon? or just some? i accidentally skipped all of the text in the cutscene x.x
You need all of them
Rng dependant but around 20% drop rate now so it's not too bad
all of them for a weapon
ok,, one last question, when i abandon a relic weapon quest at a specific phase do i have to start all over? (i still have my phase 2 hw weapon and phase 1 resistance weapon)
you can farm 10 of each crystal if you want all of them weapons 
o.o i can??
you can start at that phase again given you still have the weapon to start that phase
yeah i still have them! i just abandoned those quests since it looked cluttered in my duty list
Since i cant quick synth collectables, is there a way to keep repeating a macro over and over without having to click it after every craft?
I reckon you can't do that with ingame macros

no
Hey! I decided to return to FF14, bought a subscrpition via Mogstation (previously i was paying via steam account) and still, I cant enter the game bcs "License for this platform or subscription has expired" Do i need to wait for a little bit before I can enter the game? Does anyone had similar problem?
Are you launching the game through steam?
Nope, from downloaded client
Need to launch from steam since it’s a steam account
Ah... Didnt know that...
It also works with steam accounts and avoids a lot of common launcher errors
do i have to worry about lvling harvesting jobs and such
optional
just like everything that isnt msq
is it profitable and fun and has a lot of content? hell yeah
is it required to have fun? not at all
Thanks, Steam version works. Didn't know there are separate accounts.
There is some content that you need gatherers for like certain beast tribe dailies/stories but that's it
is there a statistics UI similar to the WoW one, random stats like total gil earned, times killed x boss and stuff
None that I’m aware of
What is the best duty to run to grind up my Sasuke's Blades for Zodiac weapon?
tam tara or ifrit were the usual suspects, but assuming you're 90, honestly doesn't particular matter what you do
any ARR instance you can unsync quickly
I'm lvl 73 ninja
even at 73, doesn't really change the answer much
Aurum vale is my go to
you're going to destroy most things pretty easily
True, oki ty
Around 2.5 mins a run with an 80 job
Tam Tara is more doable for your level but it’s longer due to all the interactions
Not one of the hard dungeons, just normal Aurum Vale?
I'm sick of Brayflox so Aurum is good, ty
Tam Tara normal is fastest for zodiac light
Brayflox gives light?
pick whatever has bonus 👀
Like 2 mins a run fast?
all ARR instances give light
Ye
Oh I’m thinking of matma
still light
Or whatever it’s called
same concept
!faq zodiac
Imma check
final step is literally same concept nexus
you're running an instance ad nauseum
final step just have to buy mahatma once you're done with the one you've got
does sb alliance raids always have long queue times? i just want a clear but it always 30 mins + of queueing
!faq dflanguage
enable all 4, tick join party in progress and queue between 17:00 - 24:00 CET
what do i do w gear i dont use/junk gear
To any merchant yes
When you progress further, you may be able to trade green and blue gear at your GC seals or destroy your gear for mats
comfy piety & sps > crit > det prob
aight
im about to hit 80 on my astro but i wanna still meld my scaevan for my others
Don't bother with that until 90
yeh, if you have full scavean, you already op for lv 71 dungeons 👀
I mean, if they're about to be 80, it's fine, it won't matter as soon as they get access to Crypt
lv 75 dungeon gear will replace it
It carries to 75. After that dungeon gear can outgear it
rip
It could get dicey around the last dungeon
maybe that's why that mt gulg run was a little stressful
But jobgear exists so
ill just get crypt in a few thousand xp
Gulg is already hard on 80 gear
yeah, go bozjan or something
what
You can't get cryptlurker until u beat 5.0
i dont think i have bozja
i usually just go straight to bozjan once I finished with castrum albania, so I just enter with lv 69ish gear 😹
im done with EW lmao
what is this aetheric disturbance thing ahaha
Do all levequests stop giving exp for gathering professions after 80?
..no?
Ahhh, ty
use your aether compass
spam it while doing MSQ
also type /aethercurrent
ooo okiez
If you collect them all, you can fly in those area
so get them aether current, finish all blue quest and MSQ in the area -> flying
i meant like, while i lvl up my class
is it even possible to get all stats green in a level 50 squadron mission
Yes
all my stuff is level 60 and it's still not there
Try different combinations of members, or retrain stats until you get what you need.
If it weren't possible, it wouldn't be a requirement for the flagged missions.

the flagged missions are easy tho
still totally optional
you can totes do that in que for other stuff
The flagged missions are the only ones where having all three stats green is required.
yeah, and the reqiured stats are lower than the level 50 missions
¯_(ツ)_/¯
idk what to tell you
For normal missions you only need two of the three stats at green to basically guarantee a pass.
for the non flagged ones, you basically need a mix of good squad combo, training and chemistry to hit all 3
Considering that the system has been in place for over half a decade and a significant portion of the game's playerbase has had their squadrons pass it, yes, it is possible.
It's also not terribly hard.
I think he's complaining that he can't get the normal missions to 3/3
Since he said "the flagged missions are easy"
Balance your squadron's classes appropriately, make sure you're maxed out on your training-regimen points in weak areas and readjust as needed
Oh, the normals? Who cares about those.
fuck em
I don't think the flagged missions have lower stat requirements than the normal missions, for total numbers, though.
Except for Priority Missions.
Which basically make it nigh-impossible to get all 3 with a standard comp unlss you train them specifically for that mission and have the right chemistries.
for the weekly missions, they are higher requirements
which, as i said, hitting all 3 for weekly missions requires a combo of chemisty, comp and training
how big is the FC heat of battle exp buff?
15%
For tier 3
For Heat of Battle III.
^
Most Fcs only do tier 2 which is 10%
5% per level.
and you get them from the weekly squadron mission yeah?
But do NOT stack with the FC buff.
^
So, I am leveling my crafters.
I have CUL 80 with 500 Ilevel, I want to make some foods to help with crafting (Like the Oyster confit etc), i have all master recipes unlocked for CUL.
What food would yall recommend for me to mass craft, easy to obtain items but also would give a decent buff in crafting/control
IIRC, the best crafting food at that level requires a lot of ingredients.
you sorta kinda dont need craft/control food buffs rn anyway
so just power level to 90 kay
Yeah.
Doesn't have to be FOR level 70. Its more to get all of my lower levels to 80
You should be able to do level 89 crafts with level 80 gear
crab chili was super popular back in shb
could prolly do that
The goal isn't to go 80-90.
The goal is to make my life 1-60 easier on other crafters.
I have enough Diadem materials to carry me on most classes, but I still have lackluster gear between 1-60, when I can deck myself out with white scrips and then pretty much max collectabilty my way to the bank.
Well food can't help really all that much since it's % based, with no minimum.
Yeah.
I've honestly had no problems leveling crafters on my alt.
If you make your own tools you'll have more than enough control and craftsmanship to take you all the way to 50.
GC leve turn-ins will also speed you on your way.
I mean if you try to do level 30 crafts with level 10 gear you'd only be getting a small bonus from food
i sorta sought out whatever food shored up my deficient stats
but that really depends on what my stats are and what stats were needed for a given rotation, so yknow.. like
its alot to work out, but sure.. you could really just make abuncha chili crabs
If you aren't averse to spending gil, you can also just buy HQ tools and gear to carry you from 50-60.
thats crafting for ya, nothing is ever universally good and you use like every button and sometimes you need different foods and medicine
The removal of HQ gathering items means that the recipes for 1-50 have drastically reduced control and progress bars.
With some HQ tools and basic crafting accessories I can make Level 40 gear just fine.
With mostly quest reward equipment.
Well yeah there are generally good macros that work for shit past level 72
Reason I asked about food, was simply to make that a little bit easier, if that makes any sense. Thank you for the input. I'll just forgo the food aspect of it, as you guys said, not that important.
Food is generally only ever used for CP on crafters
Thanks for the help earlier, I now have a zodiac weapon
oh no, food can be important..its just something that i evaluated on a case by case basis lol
I used chili crab when I still level'd at ishgard resto 😹 , as lv 30 crafters
CP makes a tangible difference, the minor amounts of control and craftsmanship are generally not that relevant
there are some pretty cheap food that gives quite alot of cp
Well actually that's not true because generally those stats on food are used to hit breakpoints
So it's more accurate to say they're less valuable unless you are using them to hit a specific breakpoint

tfw crafters are a more complex class than dnc 🤪
I finished my Zodiac weapon quests and now there's the Kettle to the Mettle quest, is that worth doing for the item you get? Looks like a big grind for somethin kinda useless
So i unlocked 5..how to start turn 2?? urianger doesnt give quest.
i mean second turn
Clear turn 5
it will open automatic?
No
i mean the quest'
Quest appears afterwards
ok thanks

would you guys recommend to hit level cap with my first job first or is it fine for me to start leveling another one? I'm level 51 and just finished ARR
I did what I wanted tbh, picked up and levelled astro and drk as soon as I could, did MSQ sometimes
!faq armourybonus
took a big break from MSQ when things got heavy and then went back to msq either so it’s really do it at your own pace
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 90 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 79, which then reduces to +50% for level 80 to 89. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
you could also just do it like that logically lmao
msq unlocks more things so i'd keep trucking on unless you wanna do something else
Does BLU ever get a better weapon, or does it always have lv 1 rainmaker?
Probably a dumb q
They do
Ok good XD
Yes
Ok so you can still get sleek blue mage staffs later
There's like 6 or 7 canes
Ooooh fancy
Well I now feel motivated to play BLU a lot more
I'm only lvl 22, do I level by just doing Fates?
Oh just run and genocide?
You have a 10x multiplier on overworld mobs
anyone on aether who can penta meld some gear for me?
please ping when respond, will be alt tabbed
Not that kind of questions and help channel
Max is lvl 70 on blue
Just yell in limsa
hi, bought an endwalker code expansion in the wrong region, will support be able to help me in this case? if not, then is anyone willing to trade an NA code for my EU code?
@rare arrow see above
Contact support
Ty
ok, thank you
Im not being able to unlock some specific custom deliveries NPCS, and i cant even find the quests apparently (nor in the places where i'd take them, nor the required ones, nor on my complete list .. Does anyone have any clue what could be wrong?
quick question, does the moogle beast tribe go to rank 7 or 8? i feel like one thing i saw said 7 but im not sure
which npcs exactly, the firmament ones are locked behind a pretty long firmament questline
Apparently i "found" ... is a giant questchain for kurenai, and it was askin for a combat job rather than a doh/dol
the quest chain required for kurenai is for combat jobs yes, while the unlock for her delivery is doh/dol
that side quest chain was in before her custom delivery
moogle beast tribe are the same way
oh boy i love doing like 20 yellow quests to unlock a beast tribe
How dare SE put a storyline in a Final Fantasy rpg

Is it against ToS to queue for content significantly above a job's unlock level without unlocking the job?
if you're asking whether it's okay to have a level 70 conjurer in your party
by ToS yes, it is, but by literally everyone else's standards no, it's not
Since that's not physically possible, yeah, I'm assuming you're asking about people not wearing their job stones
and no, it is not
No I mean legit just not doing the job unlock quest lul
You are basically griefing at that point
you can't report people just for not having a job stone
GMs aren't gonna punish them for that
if they're being toxic about it then yes you can
So it's kinda griefing but not a punishable offence?
Griefing is punishable.
Why are you asking.
Why would you ever do such a thing?
i'm under the assumption they probably have one in their party right now
Are you upset that you saw someone without one, or are you wanting to do it so you can be the griefer.
in which case just vote kick them
Well I was just thinking about it and how it seemed kinda weird
I have had it happen to me twice but both times in alliance raids
Cool.
No, you can't report someone to SE for forgetting an aspect of the game and expect SE to take action against that person.
That's kind of a Karen notion, and you would do well to divest yourself of it. =P
But you are absolutely within your rights to vote dismiss them
and you are absolutely within your rights to report them if they get asked about it and start being an asshole
because being an asshole is against TOS
What are your guys thought about best tank?
any
alright, sounds good
The one capable of pressing their buttons
Best tank is the one you like the most
Or the one you hate the least
I mean the pros / cons
It's a matter of personal preference, yeah, haha, which also makes it more of a #general-discussion topic than a help desk item.
or #tank-lounge
Most tanks have similar gameplay loops but go to #tank-lounge
i heard that 6.1 they removing MSQ roulette?
can u change titan/ifrit/garuda into looking like carbuncles?
Not the 90 ones no
at lvl 70 and then before 90 could u?
Castrum and praeotirum are changing to 4mans along with some other adjustments so it's assumed it is but not confirmed
You can use /petsize to make them carbuncle sized
You can change the egis to carbuncles yes
Not certain.
What they are doing is restructuring those two lv50 contents into solo/trust type instances. But based on past live letters where they hinted at the possibility of these changes, they also said very specifically that they were aware people would miss the large XP gain roulette as a daily option, and would be doing something to compensate for its absence.
if they removed it
I read that they are just gonna increase the xp gain on the other roulettes
Probably redistributing it or adding more exp to 5/6/7/8
That's a theory and not confirmed
but I guess we'll know more this Friday
what rank does moogle beast tribe go to?
so my goal is to get the elemental coat of healing+1
do i need an anemos weapon for it
Have fun in eureka
Yes
or is it enough to rank up my ele lvel?
You need a pagos weapon
Final upgrade of the next eureka zone
Nope
No
so like what do i do?
Do a weapon for any job
Tops off at rank 7. Once you complete the other two tribes in HW, you’ll unlock a quest that will push all three to rank 8.
Make a relic for a different job
