What benefits are if the load times get faster besides not being left out when traveling between worlds/zones/instances for trains/S-Ranks?
I play on PS4 and I'm considering buying a SSD for it.
upgrade it
Why wouldn’t you gear up your other jobs?
From the ToS: "It is prohibited to share, lend, or disclose account or login information with others."
RDM is already perfection
Are you not planning to get a PS5 at some point? That one has a crazy fast SSD anyway
Ok dang, ty
(it is also a really bad idea as they can steal your account)
loads are already pretty fast on ps4 pro with ssd
yeah, but not until they release a slim version, that'll maybe take 2 more years, I could buy it sooner if FF7R2 gets released before tho
Anyways, only 15k players on steam? I thought this game would have more people on average
the game is available not-on-steam
rn I have PS4 Slim with the default HDD
upgrade the hdd
The game is also available on PS4/5 and non-Steam PC. Steam numbers aren't an accurate metric. It's also the middle of the morning for NA.
But more people play outside steam?
it takes me like 15-20 secs every time i enter a new zone/instance. but that doesn't kill me, i wanna know if there are more heavy reasons to upgrade it besides not being left out in trains
Not to mention the Steam-specific issues going on (see lodestone)
Most players do not use steam or are on Playstation. There is also the time of day and we are a few weeks away from the next major patch
We don’t have those numbers so it’s not like we can definitively say so
That's no too bad, I think it was worse before. It takes from 2 to 5 seconds for me on pro ssd
But probably
Gotcha. I'm a ps player myself.
yeah someone on my friendslist who has like 10 hours playtime just recently got temporary restricted from logging in to steam 👀 can't help cause I don't use one
I think biggest reason to upgrade will be the graphical update we'll get later this year.
‘23-‘24 ish yeah
I watched a video saying it was at the end of this year. Well no rush then if that's not the case.
hmmm I think it was bellular's or josh strafe hayes's ? The video about the graphical update.
It definitely won't be this year
you must have misheard
have no idea who those 2 are
Bellular, being a newer player, sometimes gets his info wrong
they're both british ffxiv players/content creators
Also like that live letter was translated, we know what the devs said there
the 6.x slides had 6.1-6.5 planned and considering a major patch is about 4 months cycle, there's less than zero chance they get all these patches this year
That's lowkey a relief. I don't wanna pay scalpers for a PS5 lolol
Is there anything better to get than Fenrir for 1 mil MGP?
7.0 is when the update will start, it’ll last years - one of the mentors
owh thought that problem is solved, cause I see a cash on hand PS5 around my area with official price 🤔
Subjective, it’s your money
Well not solved everywhere unfortunately
ic ic
I spent this long getting 1 mil, not sure I have it in me for 2
With the moogle tome event coming next week, you'll be able to farm MGP
I know moogles, I'm not sure what make it Rain is tho
Mgp evrnt
bonus mgp event
All mgp gains are boosted 50%
Neat
And you can pop VIP cards to get up to 65%
and get that GC buff MGP bonus thing 👀
Oh well I think I'd prefer Fenrir to Sabotender anyway, if I'm desperate for it in the future I guess I'll save again
hi, im sorry if this isnt the right channel, but anyone knows why this happens? if i launch the launcher normally it works fine but if i launch it through steam i get this
didnt work for me :/
english letters? seen reports it not even accepting katakana
yeah, same. i already sent a ticket to SE support.
hopefully theyll get back to me soon
it didnt work
There are some lvl 50 gatherer commands I haven't learned yet despite doing all job quests to 65..??
unlock collectibles

they're just for collectables
but collectables are good xp so you should unlock them
also scrips are very important to get
look into custom deliveries too if you havent yet. very very good xp/scrips for little effort, weekly activity
I'm speeding through the main quest so that I can unlock the main content of the game, but what I really enjoy is just grinding stuff over and over (I'm originally a RuneScape player). Do you guys have any grindy activities that you find fun? I guess mining is a bit like this, I don't mind hitting rocks over and over, but anything particularly lucrative in terms of either gil or XP would be appreciated
relic weapons, eureka and bozja are the main 'grinds' of this game
You’re not gonna make money with early game drops
Gotta play the market, sell what people want, sell what they’re too lazy to get themselves
Getting all jobs to max is also kind of a grind. And farming mounts on extreme trials can also be considered a grind I guess
Like this game has tons of activities, but yeah you have to unlock most of it through story progress
Also the story is “the main content”
Cool, I'll just get through the story then find a niche in crafting I guess
Yeah I'm trying really hard to get into the story but I just think in numbers, even single player story based games were never really my thing
consider the msq as a number of quests you need to do
This is a final fantasy game first mmo second, so fair warning if it ends up not being for you
Hey guys, is there a party finder/Lfg in this discord?
Technically the dc recruitment channels
But the in game pf is just better
So everyone uses that
dunno if you saw, but they changed Balmung to standard world, so you can create a character on it now :3
oh yeah I'm a big final fantasy fan, I've played through 6 several times now, 5 7 and 9 are also great titles!
still I've always thought their stories were silly I just like the gameplay
ah, then you'll enjoy the raid series that remakes the bosses from 6 and 5
Thank you!!!
Don't worry, there is grind that eventually exists. Relic weapons are notorious for it, and there's various side-content that takes a significant bit of time investment.
Eureka lootbox goodies can be very profitable
Especially the shit from ba
If you really want something grindy and potentially profitable
I am stupid, now what? 😦
Well first
Lmao xD
Second you can store the first set in an armoire if the attachments bother you and or ask support about refunds but I don't think they're offered on this stuff
T_T thanks,i'll try, or at least get something different, but thats weird tbh i dont remember buying it twice..maybe a bug? idk xd
maybe you already had it from the event back in the day
so, question on steam linking. i just finished it. it says it linked to my name "DoubleDeckerSupreme" (yes thats my steam name), do I have to stick with that steam name from now on or can I still change it as I please?
Name no but its linked to that account
thats fine, i just change my name frequently and only have the one account.
thank you for the information
Does completing Bozja’s Storyline add anything worthwhile for Endwalker? I’ve been stuck trying to get a group for Castrum for days now, and I’m considering just giving up on it and moving on with the main story.
It's gonna be rough for a while, yeah. There's a bit of an impact on aspects later on in the story's end, but that's spoilers to say more than that.
wouldnt say its a significant impact tbh
its a nice nod
would just continue with msq tbh
Yep.
I mean if you really really really want to relic weapon
But otherwise eh, not that important
Alright, thanks

As a dragoon can u use jump attacks to dodge mechanics or is the duration too short 🤔
oh ok
ok
hey, if i own a house and made my friend tenant, are they also able to give tenant status to other friends of their? I made an alt character and want to know if i can use that loophole to give...myself tenant for my own house lol
I believe only the actual owner of the house can give tenant status.
after weekly reset i login in the game and said i have claimed my rewards for P1s but i haven't done it for this week what might be the problem? bug?
Have you done any of the other fights Savage?
not yet i just logined after maintenance
weekly reset happens well before daily reset
Like 7-8 hours ago
i don't know much about ff14, why does koblod have mask on
is it midnight pst?
yes i did
because they want to
because they work in the mines
they mine
Yes
cute
show me
They take off their masks on occasion
if you haven't stepped into any floor above p1s for the week, then sounds like a bug yes that your weekly loot hasn't reset
Yeah goblins have never been seen maskless
goblins dont take off their masks
how do i fix do i just contact support?
mhm
1.) Those are XI goblins.
2.) Concept art generally includes feature assets that are never seen, since they're necessary to the modeling process.
!faq guilguide
#kupo-bot-spam
sorry
Is there a button you can press to auto organize your inventory instead of dragging and dropping everything?
right click-> sort
right click any item, Sort
Omg thank you!
if you have any particular way you want to sort, the sort system under the covers has a LOT of options
but you can only use it through macros, there is no menu for it, soo id suggest googling it if you want more
i have a one click macro button setup that sorts my bag, saddlebag and armoury in one go
im sure a lot of peopkle have asked about this already but how do i work around it?
reset your password, but you may have to wait 30 min for it to sync before you can actually login to the game
at least some ppl have said it takes a while to update for them after resetting
ok thank you :D
Is there anyway to get gil from an FC house that I don't need anymore?
I was just given FC leader because my friend just data transferred but no one else is in the FC so I really don't need the house anymore
sell the fc
or do what i did and keep it cause free housing and submersibles/airships

the blue bar is your rested exp
do you have road to 80?
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
what's that
did you make your character on a new/preferred world?
the faq doesnt say what it applies to 
I assume no since you're on crystal
I don't think so
what specifically did you get that exp from
@vocal swift
you got any jobs with lvl above your current?
completing the dungeon?
killing some guy in the ||crystal tower||
no wait
wod
which still applies afaik
but assuming you got a job above your c urrent
50% from rested exp
50% from armoury bonus
3% from food
yes a lvl 90gnb this is an 80 rdm
if its not armoury exp then it seems like the rested exp is already applied in that screenshot
armoury is +50 and rested is +50
oh
Math works out
didn't know about that cuz i've been getting 153 haha
cause you were under 80 
'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.
Is there a compiled list of all trust lines (while using X skill, after rez, etc), including the EW spoiler ||lv87 dungeon trusts||?
how would one fix a Direct 11 crash ?
Update drivers
i've seen infographics about it on reddit for shadowbringers, they were pretty highly upvoted, a search should bring them up. i think the person doing them slowly started doing endwalker too, but i've only seen one or two dungeons starting dungeons so far
I think those only list lines specific to dungeons, not generic ones
oh you want generic ones

Trust System Voice Lines
a project by @trustinsighters
What is this spreadsheet about?
This spreadsheet is a compilation of Trust voice-lines in English, Japanese, German and French. It is meant to support and complete the Characters Voice Lines videos posted on ...
this should be what you're looking for i think
it's not completed though
how does one with multiple accounts log onto FF14 now from one portal since it seems to lock your User when you open the game through steam?
is there a way to see what items i can gather (mine, log, quarry etc.) in the region i'm in?
like im in eastern shroud can i just see what gathering items are in eastern shroud? or do i have to go to the gathering log and click through each item
If you’re going for a specific item you go for a specific item
https://www.garlandtools.org/db/#browse/node
should do what you want i think
has anyone else been having connection issues today? both me and my friends have gotten dc'd so bad that the client crashed
I did the home world transfer 4 minutes ago; then, I received an email from them saying the home world transfer is processed successfully and tells me that I can log in to the game. Do you think it's okay for me to log in now? I don't want to prolong the transfer process
Oh my god it even translates from other languages! Thanks so much!
That email literally says you can
That's kinda the point of the email
I was making sure; I'm slightly paranoid >.< thanks though
For some reason even though it says Adamantoise is an available option for transfer in the news its not on the list o.o
Do you already have a character there
What?
Well it is, 9 years ago
Patch 6.1
That’s in 6.1
6.1 is next month. The recent update was hotfixes and things. Nothing major.
You can also tell by the fact that they haven't published the giant PATCH 6.1 NOTES bulletin.
which they do when they apply the patch
If I have a +1 Anemos weapon, which region do I get elemental armor?
elemental armor starts in pyros
Is the game down ?
no
re: mog station, does "account wide" item -> every char on your account gets the item?
or "only one item, but you don't have to specify which char to grab it on during purchase, do it in game"
account wide means every character on the account, including any future characters you make, will receive it
oh wow, that's great, thanks
So is Lewena a triple triad npc that still exists or is she gone
They wouldn’t remove triad npcs
should still be playable vs, though looks like she may not have a TT icon over her head for w/e reason
So where exactly is she? The website I'm looking at says "4, 6" at the gold saucer but when I look at the map for that location it appears to not be an actual spot on the map.
There’s 2 floors
there are two floors
she should be at one of the tables near the main counter
It's not a location on either floor.
see that right there was the problem, the website didn't say 4.8, 6.1, it said 4, 6
But also you should’ve seen them as you went to that spot. somewhere around
No, 4, 6 is literally https://i.imgur.com/EjzTRDV.jpg here.
Seen em as you went to that spot
yeah
4, 6
Can't get there.
I browsed the map first.
Saw that it's not possible to get there
You should always walk around the general area first
checked the second floor map
But either way this isn't that serious
saw it's not a possible spot there
does anyone know if i delete a character and re-create it on a different server I can use the same name? a bunch of my friends are on one server, but I'm on the free trial and can't move servers. I'm not very far in so I was thinking if I delete my character I'd be able to re-create it with the same name.
It takes a bit
Yes (i think)
Lodestone has to update
how long is a bit?
Names are server based
If the name isn't in use on the other server, then it should be fine.
World sorry, not server
world = server
Literally the same thing
And the concept will apply if you mean datacenter as well.
I'm on Ultros right now and I want to go to Behemoth
Names are server based
Oh sweet thanks!
Why not just transfer your character tho
Trial
anyways, for the Kumite, Kumite, Kumite achievement, it says tournament match wins, do open tourneys not count?
They probably don’t
So do I need friends and/or other randos to get shantoto?
Are you trying to get the mount? Because the Protag cards aren’t required
More just tryna collect em all, but the mount would be good.,
By not required do you mean they don't count?
They’re not included in the count for the mount achievement
tried everything I can find (besides a full reinstall) to fix this and nothings worked, cant open the game. anyone know what I can do?
do they count towards getting the "collect x amount of cards" achievements?
Of course.
so technically then getting those cards might count towards the mount
All the collect x cards achievements EXCEPT the newest one are in that 1-312
Everything past that is EW cards and protags
Also phoenix comes from winning the bihourly tournament in the saucer at least once
So gl
Yeah so the shadowbringers thancred card and everything below it count, yeah?
Yup
and the protags and some endwalker cards will help me get those.
Are your drivers updated

Alright so wait, I just joined the Rowena cup classic, I can beat npcs and get wins that way right?
should be, friend said its most likely corrupted files since theres a kernel32 error
Yes, that’s how it’s done
Can I only get progress towards the Kumite achievements by battling and winning against actual players?
Any match in a tournament
does the tourney have to end in order for the wins to count?
If it specifically needed player matches, it’d tell you
Did you select the tournament option
Talk to the battle hall npc, there will be 3 options: regular match, tourney, small talk
I can only assume I'm in the wrong place, unless card square is also the battle hall.
It is not
How do you get people from this server to stop sending you spam?
So where is the battle hall?
friend only dms
How do you set that?
settings, privacy and safety
Accessible via the duty finder or by speaking to the Triple Triad Master
where do I report a spam bot that came from this server? Is there a channel for that or no?
can throw their ID into modmail
ok ty!
actually no nvm
just hit the spam button in the DMs
seems like the mods got it handled already
probably really easy to ban them based on similar names
ah ok, sounds good, already done then
No use, you report them, they delete that account and just make a new one. Ask me how I know 😂
if it's a message about "moderator academy" or some shit copy the user id and send in a modmail, as it's a scam.
that's why the bot is overloaded rn
Same for me
yeah already got that one last week. Today was a new one from a weird username but same icon
as per discord feedback
Got that one too
idk if they said anything other than that tho
did the steam breaking patch also break ACT?
ACT always breaks on patches
Patches ALWAYS break it
ah
cause you never know if it'll be stable
you dont need to send in a modmail they already know
hint: probably not cause different hook
well even the non-numbered patches can change the addresses
yea
got bot spam from D𝗂scord Academy Moderator#4515
they know.
from this discord
old news is old
report it as spam from the dm
thanks
why would you need the unaugmented
there is no unaugmented.
fashion?
not for like.... 2.5 years
....theyre the same model
it looks the same
they're the same item
the only difference is stats
are there any fix for steam issue or still broken?
i'm using it for glamour
and again
it is the exact same model
Can't I unlist quests from the quest list below the minimap?
click the box in your journal
open the journal and click the tick box until its 🚫
Yeah, but it lists another instead
then do the same thing
Does anyone know if the last Bozja CE is even still done by anyone? Even if there are several parties farming FATEs I never saw more than maybe 5 or so register for it
I know about the Eureka one but haven't seen one for Bozja yet
No matter how many boxes I click, there are always 5 on the list.
theres probably a setting in character config > ui or something
if there isnt then 🤷
Well, I did reduce from 5 to 1, that smth.
i mean
if you dont want to see ANY sidequests at all then you could just hide the element in the ui
Yep but it hides also the infos of the duty finder, so..
I do, I am big dumb. thank you lol
so if I understand correctly, I can exchange beast tribe currency for other currency??
No

then i don't understand this at all?
That's for people who have the physical tribe currency
As they used to be a physical item
And not in the currency menu
And expansion tribes slowly give more currency each quest as you rank up
Guys I’ve done like 8 fates already for collecting atma stuff for relic weapons and not one fate has dropped the stone ;_; am I doing something wrong? (I have my zenith weapon equipped)
Welcome to rng
bad rng
I’m having some real technical issues and got a ticket #. It tells me to have my ticket # ready but where are they gonna message me?

if it makes u feel any better, im in endwalker and still havent farmed a single atma
then again i havent tried
there’s like 12 stones u have to get LOL why would they make the drop rate so low wtf
Because it's relic
The rate was lower when it was current
The rate has been buffed since then
Relics are, by design, a time sink
theyre 100% optional is why
the glam peeps will do it regardless. others will skip it cuz who cares
To be clear the only requirement is you have to have ur zenith weapon equipped correct?
if youre on PLD, think u need both equipped
i want shiny things 
Ah ok ok, just getting whm rn
oh shit just got it LOL
thanks guys 😎
Does anyone know what changed for this update?
The game update
Found it
FINAL FANTASY XIV Hotfixes (Mar. 8, 2022)
■Account linking between Steam account and Square Enix account has been implemented for the Steam version.
・Following this maintenance, users will be prompted to log in with the Square Enix account they wish to link when launching the game from the Steam software for the first time.
・The linked Square Enix account will be automatically reflected for subsequent logins.
* Please refer to the following announcement for details regarding account linking:
https://sqex.to/13x8Y
■The following issues were addressed.
・An issue causing the time display for the Jumbo Cactpot drawing to be incorrect. (Oceanian data centres only)
・An issue causing certain ambient sound effects to also be played in indoor areas.
・An issue causing sounds to not be properly played with certain system configurations. (Mac only)
You didn’t need to post the hotfixes
That’s actually what I’m having problems with rn
It’s telling me to “Link Accounts” will it delete my current steam one?
Wha? No
The wording was confusing when trying to sign in Bc it said my account was flagged for suspicious activity. So I figured someone unlinked my account or something.
It's the new update
It even says in the hotfix
users will be prompted to log in with the Se account they wish to link
Just wasn’t sure Bc it made me reset my password
Yeah everything seems fine. I see my character. Sorry just had a minor spook, still new to the game but have a lot of hours so far.
Ty for posting the hotfix, I was in a minor panic
yea tbh some of the login elements are...old
if I do a pvp activity do I get 500 wolf marks every time?
frontline? oir any pvp in general
either?
so for frontline you get 500/750/1k depending on how your team places, then 1k daily for roulette bonus
idk about others lol
i go in for xp. pvp is fun, specially when theres no real stakes
oh turns out I have what I need!
xp bar go brrrrr
I’ve been looking at Ninja openers and bits since I’m leveling it to make sure I have a 90 set for each of the armor categories and in them Ninja does a Doton 7.5 seconds before the enemy is pulled. Why is that and what benefit does it give?
is armor from beast tribe vendors tradable?
Free damage
Cause you hide to reset mudras
So doton is free
Then tank pulls them into it
No
aw fudge.
Ah, so that’s why it’s used, I was under the assumption that it would pull the boss, but if it’s a party synergy thing, I get it.
for roulettes, most tanks dont pull bosses into it
ill just pre huton n hide so i can suiton double...raiton?
i dont even use doton prepull cause i dont think i can reach the boss with it
Raiton is lightning yes
Imagine if shukuchi didn’t break hide and took your doton with you when you jumped, that’s be pretty powerful
Technically
buff shukuchi 2022
it does take your doton tho
I thought that was more a slidecast kinda thing
nah its a feature
It takes a moment for doton to actually place
do u have to macro shukuchi then?
no
Just be fast as.fuck boi
you just cast doton and shukuchi to somewhere fast
if it was a legit mechanic though, with shukuchi not breaking hide, you could open straight into a trick attack
Which no one would ever do
i mean, hide breaks once u get close enough anyway
and save a mudra for more raiton
you dont do buffs until like 7 seconds in tho
Cause that's fucking stupid
I purchased FFXIV for windows via steam a number of years ago, and opening it with the steam-bypass up until today. Having just opened the launcher again in steam, the launcher is prompting me to relink my sqex account to steam - is it possible, instead, to purchase the game again from the sqex website (the NON-steam version), not link my account with steam, and play it separately forevermore?
Nope
Cause your mogstation is marked as steam when you put the license in which takes the pc slot
I'd been hoping that if I didn't follow through with this prompt, it'd be my chance to jump out 😦
You wouldn't be able to use your current mogstation account
I think they’re consolidating the steam and SE versions for PC
Oh, I see
must save them some strain or make it easier systems wise
They said it's for security
Thanks for all the info!
anyone else still stuck at loggin with no steam update?
So I'm trying to make a final sting macro, but for some reason it doesn't register Moon Flute
does it have a special name for macros?
blue action I think

Never mind, I was dumb and accidentally added a quote mark at the end of blueaction.
I'm struggling with the Crystal Sand step of the HW relic, how should I go about getting the sands most efficiently?
Crafter scrips
Gatherers are semi time gated since you’re waiting on unspoiled nodes
how do you tell if an item is unique?
If you don’t mind manual grinding, do the ARR EX trial materials.
Buy out the cheap ones and farm the expensive ones.
Top of the item tooltip
it will say at the top of the item's tooltip box
ohh yep thanks
still stuck at login unable to link steam account
ahh i can do this, ty ty
launch via steam @echo bough
...
it told me to do that and it linked it automatically after logging in
steam is the issue.
right this is the issue it's NOT doing.
https://twitter.com/YukiAnriel/status/1501174994121940995 might be a fix
Anyone got any idea?
Being really frustrated with the account linking (Steam)

@finalfantasyxiv
#ff14 #finalfantasy14 #finalfantasyonline #squareenix https://t.co/zxTcaqbK3X
20hr download though
for a possible fix
_<
if it’s doing that then delete your “etc” folder
Does your steam display name use non-ASCII characters? That seems to cause errors for some
Things like blocks/emojis/accents/language-specific characters
Yea remove those first and try, if not then delete your ‘etc’ folder
or move it somewhere else if you’re more comfortable doing that instead of just deleting
anyone know why every single "patch download error" fix doesnt work
Probably the system disliking the unusual stuff

was there anything in the update or just the steam account stuff? also, when can we expect XIVLauncher to work for Steam users?
Is there any rhyme or reason to what you get from quick ventures? My wife seems to only be getting things for ROG/NIN which is coincidentally the only class she has above 30 besides her main PLD. Is it designed to skew towards what you can make use of?
what's the best class for farming tempest fates?
Any
every class has spammable AoEs at 80
I liked RDM/BLM when I was leveling up the fates
probably the classes that can't heal themselves lol
But best AoE isn’t really a thing people track since it’s not relevant to endgame raiding
that too
if you were looking for "strongest that you can use at start of fight", probably DNC with their dances
I dont remember.... whats the name of the machinists thingy on their side? im trying to find a better refrence image but i cant remember the name for the life of me
I'm just looking for what can down the most fates at 80 the fastest
I need to get 52 done.
Aether transformer or something
ty
the difference is so remarkably small that you've probably lost any advantage you would get from specifically using one just in the time you've been talking about it
not saying that to be snarky, just being honest though
this isn't like Ragnarok Online where classes are specifically designed to do different forms of targetted content quicker than others - the exception being low level shit and BLU
Yeah you could wait for whenever BLU gets to level 80
steam link is new, you're doing it for the first time
well never mind because apparently I could just straight up buy the TT card I needed
thought I still needed level 3 shared fate
is there a shader mod everyone uses/is recommended?
gshade
I use Espresso Glo, which a preset for it
its a simple install if you go to the gshade/gposer website
thanks!
@leaden ginkgo For reference, the left is with Espresso Glo on, the right is with normal game settings.
Wolves den have some good glamour gear but the queue times 
nice
frontline queue is quick af yo, you're using duty finder right?
As a free trial player who is really enjoying the game and plans to buy it later, what should I spend my gil on since I am close to the 300,000 cap?
(asked in #beginner-lounge too)
Yea
Oh, does JP region not like doing pvp? xD
I don't care for it either tbh, but the exp is nuts..
Yea less time than msq and maybe a bit more exp than that
got told my service account is inactive, then that there was a technical issue and now this
thanks square enix.
Yes
they do it during certain hours, iirc
are you in the JP time zone?
No
having the same problem
ive been trying to reinstall the game all day ;-;
constant patch errors with not a single fix working
Jp is now 9am
I cant even launch through steam
@lucid bone is your steam name letters only
welp
i just wanted to do my god damn beast tribes
question for a player who just finished 3.0 (preferrably free trial players): I hate how my character progressed, and dont like my current look, but I used my last fantasia. Is it ok for me to delete everything and start over?
i mean thats ur choice
oh yeah fantasia are still on sale
still have the same problem
at that point just. get the game and buy a fantasia
Steam now links the ID slot out
Cause your Steam account is fully hard connected to it
the problem is, fantasia is the least of my worries. My other worries is that I had a stagnant period between finishing the arr msq and doing the post-arr msq. I wasted time with the over-farming with praetorium, etc., also I am starting to not like my character's name. I just want to not feel guilty if I ever delete him.
you can also buy a character renaming service
its up to u if you want to do all that stuff again but itll definitely be a long time
I created a story alt, I know what it feels to do it for a long time
well in that case ig its up to u to decide if ur willing to go through that or $10 bucks to rename
Well, the phrasing is "is it okay for me to do this", and .... that's a value judgment that's entirely up to you. There's nothing stopping you from doing so, and since you're acutely aware of the progress loss and don't value it as a detractor, and since there's no law about keeping your first character lol, yes, it's "ok" to do.
We here to help with problems, not make your decisions
If you don't like the job you played ... you can level a different job. If you want a new name but don't want to pay for a name change, then I suppose a new character is the best option for that.
But it's all personal value judgments, and "is it okay for me to do" is ... really just a weird question to ask, tbh, because it implies that there would be some reason that would make it not okay
and I cannot for the life of me come up with anything that would fit that bill.
You know?
Why would it not be okay?
Is there a website that shows a specific player character’s customization options?
be more specific
As in, I want to look like them
no
Or at least a part of them
you need a 3rd party program and need to see them in game
Do skirmishes/critical engagements in Bozja/Zadnor count for the FATE section of the challenge log?
rip
As far as character creator stuff goes, no. You can make reasonable guesstimates based on the fact that there are a limited number of appearance options.
As far as glamour ... if the outfit they last logged out on is the outfit you want, then yes you can see both their gear and the glamour they put on it.
If they logged out on a different class, or on something using a different glamour, then you're sol.
no, because while they function like fates they are not technically fates
Fair enough, ty
can i equip 2 of the same crafted ring?
if they dont say unique you can equip 2

Nope
'lobby server encountered a error'
who sells book for EW gatherer?
EW hub city
Where do I spend White Gatherer Scrips, and if it’s the Scrip Exchange person in Crystarium, why won’t she sell me anything?
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Unlocking Radz-at-Han's House of Splendors (Radz-at-Han x11, y9)
They sell stuff 10 ranges apart
unlocking eulmore’s scrip house
80 gear is at crystarium/eulmore so go unlock those
All of the scrip exchange npcs are linked
You just need to unlock the appropriate house for them to sell those items
so go unlock the eulmore house of splendor
Oh perfect thanks guys!
What's faster for leveling miner/botanist 80-90, levequests or collectables?
Do both
Leves are faster but have limited allowances.
only way to get white and purple gatherer scripts is collectables and custom deliveries, right?
Yes and I suppose very small amounts from GC squadron
Are you leaving the one time password field blank?
yes
I don't have one set up
And you’re sure you have the right user ID?
correct me if I'm wrong, didn't we used to get Frontline Roulette EXP for the job we queued with, not the one we finished with?
yeah, it was like that the last time i checked, like 2 months ago
Why do some items go from zero to hero on the market board? Like they never sell to 20 selling in a day and it's all from the same 2-3 buyers? Is there some Endwalker event that cycles through items?
That’s how supply and demand works
Obviously. But where does the demand come from.
Zero point in one person buying 10 pants unless it's for some event.
From players
So helpful.
You can desynth crafted gear. Could be someone looking for a group cosplay. Could be someone flipping stuff on the marketboard betting it'll sell higher. There's a variety of reasons.
So yeah.
Players supply, players create demand.
patch cycles
if theres a new thing and requires another thing to craft, then its going to start selling
the people who are selling it are the ones who know what theyre doing

does stone vigil hard give less XP than normal
Significantly cause it's a lv50 dungeon
Lv50 dungeons give next to to xp
Same with any 50/60/70/80 dungeon, they're not for xp, they're for tomes
which dungeons should I run for levels assuming I unlocked them
And it makes sense when you remember that when those dungeons were introduced, their level was the level cap, so there was no need for experience.
lvl 51 drk
The highest level dungeon you have access to which doesn't end in a 0.
so dusk vigil
Yes
got it ty
how do I revert back to new launcher?
they disconnected support for old launcher, right?
^is still still happening?
But does duty roulette 50/60/70/80 give xp?
Well, like, good xp
Trying to lvl 56 rdm to 60

EXP for time spent, not really. But if you like the level cap dungeons, feel free to do them.
I have been heartbroken
Whats the order? I suppose Leveling >>>
Main Scenario too
In terms of amount of.xp
Msq > alliance/levelling/frontlines > trials/normals > 50/60 > guildhests
hey guys
Oof alliance are very long tho but thanks
soo i was wondering on whats the most efficient way to grind out my gatherers first before crafters
And guildhests are a joke xDD
thats why they give a lot
hello, how to get blue weapon level 70 for my blue mage?
Yeah i got Weeping City today...
That was loooooooong
Wiping City is always long.
And good ppl have to res and heal them 
BLU weapons are effectively glamour, but you get three from the job quests, plus there are a couple of others you can get from the Carnivale.
thank u <3
anyone know how to fix this
I have my steam name set as all alphabetical characters
I'm assuming you linked your account to Steam and are launching the game using the "Play" button in Steam?
Any weapons or gear that prevents or inflects status effects ?
Hope they add it later
They won't
would be too op ?
Would be pointless.
I'm launching it through steam don't think I've launched my account yet
how do I do that
had to link my steam account ( again ? ) to log into 14 after they look at there servers.
You should have gotten a prompt when you tried to launch the game.
To link your account.
I honestly don't know any more than that because I don't use the Steam version of the game.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
idk then
Relauch Steam?
All I know is that you should have gotten a prompt to link your account when you attempted to launch the game.
And chance your Steam name to only have normal letters
after you try to log in it should ask you if you have a account ( again )
what a garbage change lmao
only thing it did was fuck steam users out of using 14 alexander
and I don't even use that -.-
I heard 14 got ddos or something because they remove support for russia. Not sure if its true or not as its just a rumor atm.
does the error give you any info whats wrong
nope
also doubt I've been banned cause I literally only log on to clear savage and log off and don't talk in chat
damn i am not sure maybe contact Squaresoft / Squarenix
because if you refresh or whatever it will just reinstall the game :S
Wait is this the official 14 discord ?
there is no official discord.
ok
this is the r/ffxiv discord.

what uses should i do with gather/crafting white scrip
is ew pld basically the exact same as shb pld but the goring combo after req is replaced by the triple conf?
Yes
sweeeet
And req now gives stacks instead of timer so you can use it earlier
Also you no longer save atonements to do quadruple atonement because potency changes and stuff make it not worth
The gear is pretty good if you haven’t picked that up yet
👌
Instead you just drop an atonement during unbuffed window to ensure rotation alignment
do I need to do anything special to get the ysayle card from Marcechamp cause I've beaten him like 30 times now and he still hasn't given me his card
In general, which is better, Materiel Container 3.0 or 4.0?
rng do be rng
Sacrifice lalas to rngjesus
I am a lala though
late to this but so far ppl with that login issue might have to try a full delete and re download, worked for 2 people last night and for me it let me finally link my acc though im still waiting for my game to finish downloading
Heys guys, quick question if anyone could help me. I play from South America in the Crystal NA server with around 200~230ms of latency. I was thinking about transferring to the new oceanic servers so I can enjoy the sweet XP boost. There my latency gets between 300~330ms. Would this make much difference from my current latency? Worried about going there and not been able to play ninja or stuff like that properly.
yes
dang, sad to hear that T_T
So for the quest "Seeking Inspiration", it says I need to do Leveling Roulette 3 times. Does it have to be with the bonus? Or can I just run it whenevers?
Just do it 3 times
aight, not in a hurry but was wondering. thanks 🙂
do you think it would only make a difference in higher end content, or even in normal dungeons/trials it could hamper the experience?
yes
You would notice it
100ms is a LOT
Pretty heavily
gotcha, will stay where I am then, thanks!
Even at 200ms, I recommend googling the term "xivalexander"
4.0 probably has more valuable minions/mounts due to eureka content
200ms is already relatively high
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/31190113 Does anyone know why my character is invisible? Is it always like this if I transfer to a different server?
cactuar is seriously congested after like not even 12 hrs
is it possible at all theyre gonna ... un-congest it
bc my friend is just now able to make a chara
tell your friend to wait for a quieter hour
does that affect it?
since character creation temporarily locks based on how many people are currently logged in
thank god
question; in a private room, how do i place stuff?
Social menu > housing
Hey I got a question
What's the highest Spiritbond stat you can have? You can get +3 from the superior potion, then +2 from the better crown pie? and I think there's a +3 squadron scroll? Do these all stack?
And then you pentameld for +20% spiritbond gain from each slot melded right

I believe you also want hq items although I assume you already are using those. Technically there's some gear that boosts the rate a bit more but they aren't worth it
Oh yeah I'm just trying to figure out how to farm the most tier 9 gathering materia in the least amount of time
alright now im mad I can't login at all,it keeps saying id is incorrect but its not and it keeps shutting me off
i keep forgetting what the shortcut for crossworld linkshells are in chat x.x
oh and to answer your question, yes they all stack... only thing left is to farm the legendary nodes
whats the shortcut for it?
Sounds about right
cwls @junior walrus
eugh
/cwl#
thanks
I was thinking also, what if I used the very first gathering gear set in EW? I think it's like 83 or something? If you can pentameld that then you'd be making a helluvalot more spiritbond gain right?
Is that worth doing?
I have the lvl 90 stuff right now
there's minimum perception/gathering requirements on legendary nodes so I'm honestly not sure... if you can reach those then I guess it would be faster
wait no you probably won't be able to farm level 9 materia without level 90 gear
Is the only way to get the Wind up omega F minion from silver WT certificates?
It shows up occasionally on wonderous tales
From the book itself or certificates
Certificates
oh I didn't know that, sorry, sort of just assumed if you can't meld level 9 materia then you can't extract it
Randomly
Tier 9 Materia is like 89-90 gear bc that’s above the ilvl of said Materia
Usually shows on the two line rewards
Oooh
Typically for minion reward
do the glowing profession relics involve Ishguard Resto?
Okay so you do want lvl 90 gathering gear pentamelded in order to get those materia
So far what I've gathered is that you stack the 3 spirit bond buffs with the potion, the food, and the scroll, then you have your pentamelded set of gear at lvl 90 and you go to town spamming legendary nodes.
that's the fastest you can increase spirit bond to extract the most materia in the least amount of time
I'm on the steam version and after the latest patch the launcher is saying i have to reinstall the entire 76GB game again. But the 63.4GB of game files still exist in my steam folder so is there a way I can solve this without having to reinstall the whole game again?
can I still get this garb coffer if I pay my way to level 80 ninja?
get it as in if I buy the lvl 80 or I can just flat out pick it up?
Pick it up
Job skips don't give you the job gear from quests
So you.have to go get them as if you're reclaiming them
so what you're saying is if I buy lvl 80 ninja it'll complete the questline, therefore all I need to do is pick up the gear from the salvager?
Yes
Hey, returning player here and im tryna find a job to stick to. Are there any jobs that build up a gauge to then unleash a strong finisher. sorta like charge blade in Monster Hunter if you get what I mean
Alot of jobs
Reaper, highly recommend
There's alot of "build gauge, spend gauge" jobs
Reaper has two gauge
even better!
Reaper use one gauge to build another gauge
and the combos are pretty easy to remember
Warrior, gunbreaker, reaper, machinist, Samurai, dancer, red mage
Yeah it seems like that, reaper seemed interesting to me. I just like the gameplay of having a gauge to then unleash a big flashy attack that does heaps of damage
Do take note that reaper is an Endwalker job
All build gauge to spend gauge
Oh and dark knight
Every job has a job gauge
Either for tracking key resources or showing a resource you're generating for offence or defensive (usually offensive)
I would say that samurai, reaper, and red Mage has more fiddling with their gauges
