anyone who can help me with this or explain I play ff14 on console and I just got disconnected I closed app and load the game in and this happened
You have Spectrum?
Hey, I have a problem. My brother wants to play the games so he got the free trial on steam, but when he tries to log in the game says his service account is not eligible for the free trial. Any idea what might be causing this?
Spectrum?
@lilac holly he made a mogstation account already i assume?
if its saying he's not eligible then it sounds like he already bought the game
ISP
idk
He has not purchased the game
I’m PS4 with spectrum
The wifi company you use
There is nothing in previous transactions
oh
does he have a mogstation account
im not using spectrum
and if so screenshot what it says on service account status
this
whos playing the game right now
FFXIV account /=/ Square Enix Account
@lilac holly click service account status on the left
what does it say under "account type"
Free trial
its back
and then if he wants to go to the full game thru steam
he can
He just needs to keep in mind that if/when he buys the game thru steam he is going to be locked into steam. meaning any and all future expansions must be bought from steam or thru an authorized third party seller that sells steam codes
Hey all! Question for experience FF14 Players. Just got into the game and I am wondering, If I was looking to make an Astrologian should I already be running a healer? Or should I just go any job until I get to heavensward?
Hello! is there any way to change the "play dead" emote position?
its up to you, but going with white mage can help "prepare" you so to speak for switching to astrologian. gets you comfortable with healing in general
will 6.1 remove weekly lock of P1-4?
healer fundamentals are not too hassle to learn, you can do what you want, and you won't really lose out on anything much other than getting accustomed to your role early
but leveling a healer from the start can be kind of boring tbh
since they don't have many dps skills, especially at low levels
don't think so
for normal mode yes, barring the weapon token. for savage no, weekly lockout probably won't lift until like 6.18
Ty for clarifying that, @twilit arch That was my concern as well! Just figured i'd get some community advice before setting out to far!
they don't have many DPS skills at higher level either. So playing healer = accepting playing one-button class 😄
you do get more tools at higher levels that kind of help to get rid of the tedium of lacking dps skills
esp as an ast
its just more exacerbated at lower levels imo
ogcd heals help make your uptime better too
hello folks and i need some help and i have already done 12 of the 24 of Alexanders Duties and quests and i have not got where i need to pick up the other 12 which i was informed extremes ? and where i can get this ???
ok thx
do note
that you have to find a group to do that content with
because you cannot queue that in duty finder
i looked in the town of idllshyre
thx again
i know the duty would take forever because ppl are doing higher lvl content so and i know what you are saying either have a premade party or do the party search
savages are harder than extremes
You can just grab a few lvl 90s to unsync them
so also take note of that, their difficulty usually takes some time to get accustomed to with the mechanics
or that
In party finder
well this goon is lvl 68 and another server lol
for some reason i forgot unsync existed lmfao
i used to have the small pistol for mch but i have since made a new character since i havent played in several years. is there any way to get that glam back

If it’s the makai gun, no
not sure if this is where to ask but does anyone know the most time efficient thing to run for the irregular tomestones this time?
much appreciated!
ive seen on reddit people make posts with their experiences with GM's via in-game mail, how can i utilize that to request the item be transferred
when i try to make a new mail it says i have no friends :(
Reset is in 5 hours not 4, right? DST screwing with me
Also kupo bot is screwing with me if I say !reset
!weekly
The server doesn't observe DST
Ok then why is kupo saying 3 am when reset was at 5 am before? DST is one hour not two
they use unix
which is a universal time calculator
whatever your seeing applies to your timezone
Can someone tell me a macro to use Nascent Flash or dragon eye without a target?
that's super cumbersome, wish it was optional
just. press it?
maybe the pvp version is diff, won't let me
and nascent can't be used on yourself only
it has to be used on another target as of 6.0
aw. So I guess just a mouseover one then right
yes pvp version of dragon sight can't
/pvpac "Nascent Flash" <mo>
bloodwhetting is the single target version of nascent iirc?
Yes
thank you!
though looks like dont have it in pvp
pvp doesn't have it
bloodwhetting prolly not gonna be in pvp, yeah
You only have the one
i just saw someone killing ifrit extreme unsync with 5 hits with SMN in some seconds? How did that happen? My DRG at ilvl 590 still needs more hits and time to do it. Is there a way to activet being stronger while unsync? Or is it that SMN is really broken for old unsync content lol?
Crits?
SMN can frontload a ton of potency
Due to bahamut
Literally 1200+600 potency ogcds ontop of the 520 from Astral impulse and wyrmwaves
lol, so SMN is the job to use when farming unsync?
Doesn’t matter, use whatever you want
yeah, but if I can oneshot something unsync in 5 seconds instead of using 30 seconds, then it does matter if I care about time
it doesn't mean the jobs are unbalanced, cause it's unsync, just noting that that job is more efficient for farming
is the "mixed races are rare in Eorzea" just an excuse to not go down that rabbit hole of character creation requests? I feel like there are more mixed race couples than not-mixed couples. Limsa alone has a Miqo-Hyur, Roe-Hyur, Roe-Miqo-Hyur, etc. (unnamed NPCs). Sure they might be like failed attempts by the guys, but it's still weird to see if it's supposed to be rare
smn just has that one burst opening that deals fat damage, but overall if it lasts more than 20 seconds it gets tuned down
for the most part, yes
also i would just say that the whole thing of mixed race couples being taboo is like an older thing seemingly
in lore
since races have mingled a fair bit nowadays, its likely on the decline
but a lot of those limsa npcs aren't necessarily couples
vast majority are prostitutes and their customers
right right, thank you
no

Asking for a friend. Friend (free trial) preordered EW and has the code for menphina earrings but haven't used it due to certain irl issues.
Can the preorder code still be redeemed once they sub now?
I think you have until the 21st
I’m pretty sure they said it’d last for 3 months and it’s almost time
to learn something with blu, do i need only to get hit by it, or anything else?
See it
you need to just see the cast
see means my character look at the enemy casting, or just have the attack appear in my screen?
Enemy casts it fully
The attack is cast, not interrupted in any way
If my blu is lvl 62, can i get an attack from a lvl 68 enemy?
Level doesn't matter
As long as you see the attack, you have a shot at learning
Just have aggro on the mob, see it cast and have the enemy die
Got it thanks
do you guys think its quicker to run the 4 tomestone dungeons or the 10 praetorium? i haven't leveled blue mage so just doing it through duty finder so i can level alts also
Do you have to be a lvl 90 gatherer to get a lvl 90 treasure map?
Dungeons by far
okay so just keep spamming the dungeons that give 4? thanks
If you have a tank or ranged dps, that works too
tank yes
45mins to an hour for 10 tomes is terrible
Dungeons go so much faster with competent people
figured as much, just wanted to make sure
watching an attack is guaranteed to learn? if its from a regular enemy
Also you have to be alive, obviously
is it ok to watch an attack like 25 times and not learning it yet?
oh, so i learn it when i kill it, not when it casts it
i was just staying alive lol
what blu spell do i need for farming tomes in aurum vale besides RAM, ultravibration and missile?
people like to use
moonflute->final sting
for the final boss
but if you want the poor mans version there's
off guard->bristle->final sting
the max military rank is 2nd lt right
Captain

I have a question regarding the Steam/SE account linking
If I link my SE account to my Steam account, on another PC can I log into FFXIV without steam (assuming this other PC has retail FFXIV installed)? Or would I have to install Steam on this new PC and use my Steam Account?

You MUST use steam to play the game if you brought it on steam
Right, but after linking the two accounts, if I have a different PC with retail FFXIV, can I still log in using only my SE account?
You wouldn't be able to use your Steam linked account
It’s a completely different account at that point
The link basically does what console does and forces your login ID in and locks it for that steam account
So my question is, if I link my accounts together,
Computer A has Steam FFXIV installed. I would have to log into both Steam and then SE account.
Computer B has Retail FFXIV installed. Could I still log into this computer? Or would I have to install Steam and FFXIV Steam on this computer?
you can log in to mogstation but you wont be able to play on computer B without downloading steam
once you buy steam YOU MUST use steam to launch the game
And I wasn't sure if you were referring to only computer A, or both computer A and B.
Official launcher and steam can’t coexist on the same account
It doesn't give two shits what pc it is
I have Steam FFXIV, but I have NOT linked the two accounts together. That's why I'm asking these questions before I proceed.
Cause that's not what's determining what's it linked to
As far as I know, my SE account has no idea what my Steam account is.
Even before the link you needed to launch via steam
Unless you did that work around thing
Look at your mogstation account
correction
you have 2 square enix accounts
you have a normal one
and a steam linked one
Cause your mogstation is tied to it
So, my ultimate goal is, I never want to use Steam. Would my only option is to re-buy FFXIV on retail?
YES
yes on a different account
You would need a completely new mogstation account
And rebuy it all
Your mogstation is already linked to your steam
But they’re basically the same, so there’s really no point in doing that. I’m just saying
This new link thing is basically a double link for security
Where exactly in the MogStation site can I check to see what Steam account is linked?
!faq mogstation
Account status
It doesn’t say what steam account is linked
It just says whether you’re using steam period
It knows you are steam cause you.used a steam key when registering the game
So if I want to change this to Retail FFXIV and not Steam FFXIV, I just have to buy Retail FFXIV? How can I bind that to my already existing SE account?
You make a completely new account
. We already told you what you’d have to do
And how would that new MogStation account know my characters?
Nope
It won’t
And that's what I wanted to know.
As I said earlier, They can’t coexist
If you're on Steam, you can not unlink/convert to retail period.
If you bought retail, you also can’t convert to steam
The one chance to swap is if a not steam free trial goes to a steam full game
How do people use the quick translate so fast? Do you have to set up macros, or are there commands for it?
Type partial of what you wanna say, then press... Tab?
Yeah type a few letters in the word you want, hit tab, and it'll do a quick search for matching terms.
Do you have to be lvl 90 gatherer to get a lvl 90 treasure map to show on the harvest list?
Yeah
Alright thank you! 😄

when does echo raiding start for pandemonium?
theres no way to get tomestones of lore right now is there?
You can’t get old irregular tomes no
darn,thanks
When the next tier is added
oh so not for a really long time
thats nice to know ty
when does echo raiding start for the 3rd and final tier then? is that right before the next expansion?
tyty
So how does one get the squat emote?
Just 10 different dungeons or just 10 times
just 10 times for this one
should be yeah
If I apply Higanbana to an enemy and die, does my Weakness debuff on rez affect the damage of the already-applied Higanbana?
dots that are placed on the enemy in this game snapshot their power on application
so it doesnt matter what happens afterwards, it will do the full duration with the initial buffs you had when you applied it
an adjacent quick tip- in most situations, when the boss becomes untargetable and does some fancy phase transition stuff or other, the dots on the boss do no damage
so, i have bought the game through steam, and currently i'm living in the EU region, if i move to the US will i not be able to buy expansions through steam, because of region locking and possibly not being able to redeem the code, because i expect to receive an NA key when i do move to the US
Even more important to let the dot run the buff duration in that case
i'm 95% certain steam store region doesnt automatically change when you move to a different place. a friend of mine who moved to japan can still purchase games for russian prices just fine
i see, thank you i will keep that in mind
in steam account settings
i guess when i was reading this i wasn't paying attention, because its an option to not change your region
i thought you had to do it, thank you for the help

Can someone help me level blue mage
sorry, that was off topic
So if i wanna turn my retainer into a red mage, i'd have to get it to lv50 through ventures and only then would i be allowed to change it right?
yes
heya i'm a new player and am on the thaumaturge job quest "where the Heart is (The Goblet). when i go to see if i can join a ward there are no available options and am given the error "you were unable to leave the area"
Materia housing is closed
only Ishgard housing is visible since no one can get any there
that's not a thm class quest
that too
its a side quest that simply unlocks the housing district as an option on the main aetheryte in ul'dah. not necessarily to complete right now (and not possible since housing is not open on any materia world)
once 6.1 releases, you'll be able to do it
So, I want to try collecting all the protags, the first 3 on my list are Zidane, WoL and Cloud, the first 2 come from gold packs and cloud is 1 mil mgp, should I just keep buying tons of gold packs to get the protags or save 1 mil and get cloud
why do my retainers keep bringing me back walls/floors/roofs/etc for hingan aesthetic? Is that the only one?
because your retainer steals them from those houses
real answer: its just rng venture bullshit
and no, its not the only housing accessories you can get from quick ventures
how do i make lb gauge look like this
are the weekly reclear stuff resetting in a few min or in an hour?
oh that's a smart way to check or I'm a big dumb, ty
it says im unable to locate
means there's nothing currently in the zone
or you don't meet a prerequisite of some sort to see it
for example, you're too low level or don't have the legendary book learned
Yep. So you hang around that area until 9am ET with Truth of the Forests on, or you return to that area at 9am ET
If I have the right node, it should last for 3hrs in-game time though. So you can head there anytime from 9am to 12nn ET
eorzea time is universal for all servers
the game will show you when you get there
if you really want info, you can look it up on garland bell or data https://www.garlandtools.org/
im not sure exactly how long it will be until 9am
find the item you want on garland tools and find its node, it will show you countdown in real time minutes
and you can set a browser alert
im not sure how

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Antiquated_Chivalrous_Surcoat - where am I supposed to get more of this gear? you get pretty much 1 from an armor coffer and then seemingly never again
wiki and every other site says "Calamity Salvager" but he doesn't seem to have it either
god damn it nevermind I found it
Apologies I'm apparently blind
For future reference in case anyone finds this somehow:
job specific gear on the calamity reclaimer, not in the quest section - despite it being quest rewards
are grand companies in other expansions or only arr?
they are kinda your story guild
so they will help you along the way till the last expansion
just arr
based on the plot
which is it
Duality of answer
cause i got armor to sell and heard its best for the grandcompany?
The GC you can join is only that 3 you find. Their involvement however still goes till Endwalker
Oh thats doesnt matter which GC you join
Just pick any GC you like
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
thanks a lot that helps with the seals
How is the new summoner? Fun? Easy?
yep
More fun than RDM?
subjective
its legos
Easier than RDM?
lol
there is no joke, that is the basics of the rotation
So SMN is the easiest class in the game now?
Optimizing which lego to use is the challenge
I see
depends on your kill time on occasion
If asked, many people would say the easiest job is dancer
for eureka dungeons, do I want to bother grinding/buying the armour sets for them? what do they do for me exactly?
realistically only wanting the golden set from the final eureka dungeon for glam
the osode/cloak of vermillion is really good, would highly recommend that
theres only 1 dungeon in eureka and thats BA, which is used to augment the +1 gear to give it an elemental bonus
in order to get the +1 armor tho you'll need to complete a relic, grab the armor set from pyros, then augment it in hydatos
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/56f3bbed420 so this chest piece is that base armor set augmented?
yep, the set starts in pyros
which you can only get once you've gotten 50 logos and completed a pyros relic
okay finally understanding this, sounds like a grind but at least I'm understanding at all what to do
good first step
Mr happy has a good guide to eureka
but it is a long grind
about 100 hours
at least when I was doin it in 5.5
I'm going to be doing it mostly solo/duo too, figured there'd be more people there but even when busy I didn't find a whole lot
Depends what you’re soloing
old trials depending on the level can be war, pld, or if you want damage any bursty dps or anything
potd, anything can do it but MCH and rdm do well
Ok thx
Do trusts not do AOE attacks?
I still don’t know what you’re planning to do specifically but glad I could help lmao
rarely
Yeah trusts are pretty slow for that reason
Heck, by the time they get to the last add my aoe damage gets it down to 10% so it’s like they’re doing no damage 
thats the point

Does anybody know why the store looks like this when I try to click on different categories?
Then use yshtola
Trust NPCs use a very limited, programmed sequence of abilities with a few extra skills for situational use and/or flavor. When they're using their DPS skills, some of those may be AoE, but likely not all of them.
They also vary their damage output inversely with the player's damage output, so that runs with them take roughly the same amount of time regardless of skill level.
which is to say
goddamn slow
is there any specific requirements to get the dreadwyrm gear?
like can i get it as any class
Yeah, it can drop regardless of class.
this is where i need to click if i missed out on my sub payment and want to pay it of now right?
yep
okay, it brought me back the front page each time i clicked it so i assumed there was something wrong, until i actually read what was in front of me
Just wondering quickly, does unsyncing the Atherochemical research facility still give me the 150 poetics?
or does it have to be run normally to get the poetics..
run normally
unsync doesnt give completion rewards, only chests
thats the thing, this dungeon doesnt give chests
instead it provides more poetics.
but i guess normal runs it is then :D
Yo I'm a little confused regarding retainer jobs
Is there actually a difference between them?
I was told to put my main but I'm an Astro

retainer's level can NOT pass that of the same class/job you currently have
Right, but does it matter if it's a DPS class or something else?
combat (tank, healer, dps), DoL, DoH
Also, should I hold out on assigning a job if I'm considering to switch a main?
I'm level 66
fall in each can gather specific item, in the same group, especially combat, not really any different
Do you reckon I should wait though? I'm not really enjoying astro after this mini endwalker rework
It's green dps class
And if everybody is DPS...
...
no one is
what other class/job you have right now, the one that get you unlock AST
Hm?
What other classes I have? uh
35 PLD/60 GNB/57 SCH+SMN/33 MNK
I'm trying to reach 70 for Sage and reaper
Considering DK/Warrior too, idk honestly
Oh and 58 BLM, how could I forget
so you would want an arcanist as it is the current highest level job with base class
this is to avoid level cap
I already have a level 30 Thaum retainer, I can switch it's class now though
That was the question
Apparently there's a difference between "class" and "job"
than keep it until you find your main job (the one reach cap level first)
Roger that
Makes sense honestly, the retainer has 28 more levels to go until it caps. I'll probably get close to 90 by then
retainer: from class to job, retain level, change job/class, reset level so you need to think ahead
Where can I find this!?
Or anything equippable by Dancer with the same model
that is equippable by dnc tho?
Most time efficient way to level a DPS* from 70-90? I assume Bozja (idk)
Yess
it only shares the model with other makai gear
and its event gear so..
Noooo whyy 😭
Thanks for help though
@odd wraith yoshi P talked about looking into bringing bsck this set of event items. We can only pray
I can’t unlock bozja as a reaper!?
I can’t accept required quest as a reaper
I guess it’s because Reaper is a new job.
usually new jobs aren't locked out of doing old content, so that doesn't sound right
even if it is just an unlock quest
I can’t accept “fire in the forge” quest as a reaper.
isnt fire in the forge for the first step of the relic weapon
rpr has no relic weapon
Required class/job
iirc u need to "start" a relic to even unlock southern front
I only got a reaper lol
Yea then u cant 
Any alternative to level up fast for my reaper?
msq
80-90
endwalker gets u to 90
So whats the Go To dungeon for this trove thing? i read up abit but not sure if i missed a similar question
aurum vale with blue mage
Dang, i dont have access to where i can get the vibration thing. im still in HW
good to know, ty 🙂

How hard is it to play as melee in pvp
and that is not a question
if anything it's #ffxiv-screenshots if you're not going to be inviting discussion on it
unlock the scrip vendor
is this ARR book or expansion ones?
your DoH level then?
Lmao sorry thought this was lounge
actually we need to "unlock" master recipe quest
i wasnt even unlock the book 1 - 2 quest
after i did the quest all book up to 8 unlocked
i did a FATE at my level and it gave a very lacking amount of exp, is this normal? like 3.5% of my current xp bar

anyone what does JP people see for auto translate of Ok' Zundu?
Reaper feels extremely incomplete and not impressive sub lvl90. I can’t imagine taking RPR to lower level dungeon.
Pretty sure all place names are in auto translate
Hey guys, after installing Gshade, when I stream on discord to friends they say my stream keeps freezing and stuttering, anyone know if there is a way around this, besides uninstalling Gshade?
Is this a question?
yep
Turn down the settings? Get a better pc?
I admit that second one is mostly snark
Stream via capture card on another system?
No, my performance is steady at 120 fps, I have a good PC
sub-80 its not amazing
Then run at 60
once you get Enshroud it takes off
The ff14 engine is known to be unstable above 60fps
Yeah. I had to check all my skills in the menu just to make sure I am not missing any skills. Lol
Simply put you appear to be asking more of your pc than it can handle
the performance is not the issue, as to me when streaming I have no FPS drops. The freezes my friends reported are not from FPS drops, more like a freeze on the streaming itself, if
Well that's either your Internet crapping out
Or there's not enough power left for your streaming software
even when the Gshade is disabled the freezes continue, only if i uninstall it it goes away...
I though it maybe be a know issue with Gshade itself
Gshade means your cpu usage is higher
Because its renderingall your shades n shit
So likely just hitting pc limits
Outside this ask #tech or gshade discord
Idk if it does
Look for it's official support
Cuz this is just an ff14 reddit discord
ow, I understand that, as I said, though it was a know issue or something, maybe someone would reply "oh yeah, gshade screws with your streaming on discord"
then I wouldnt botter
It screws you streaming in general unless u have a super pc
it not a super PC, but i have a 3700x, 2070 super, 32gb of ram... though it would be enough
Should be enough then I think 😅
My wife have similar problem but she got a less powerful computor
I see, will try messing with the presets or try windowed to see if it changes something
Are u using a gameplay filter
i use a pretty low performance impact preset, lose like 5 fps from no shaders
Ah hm
i have tried straming the game itself and my screen, both have the freezes on discord. Other games, more demanding than ff with the shaders dont have this (cyberpunk and stuff like that). Probably is just the gshade messing with things 😦
Thats my guess too
hello everyone, a friend of mine is doing the heavensward relict weapon and is stuck at phase 7,light farming
I think its A9S?
hes done all the farming and have the things and runes are ful
is the one to do
but when hes trying to complete the quest,it doesnt give him the 270 weapon
Whats the specific error
can it be the game is bugged?
Might be missing just a bit if light
Haven't seen any bugs regarding anima
What does his light rune page say now
also Pneumite
gotta reset the weapon
if he made it before EW
i think you go back to the crystal sand lady
i think he done it rn so after ew
After the light farming + 15 pneumites
Theres one more stage where you need to do 12 trials + 1 archaic enchanted ink
rn is the 7th the matter
since he can complete the quest but doesnt get the weapon
for the quest
is it unequipped
yes
the pneumite is all gotten?
he does have everything:all runes full, the pneumites all 15
Some Assembly Required is done?
hes giving me the screenshots
has he done everything listen in that wiki page?
!faq anima
so,he says that he has everything otherwise he couldnt complete it
but it didnt change the status of the quest
quest still there even after completing it
what's the name of the quest
because you can do them for any job, just not at the same time
How accurate is the ffxiv collect website?
since his game is on german language:"Die Entscheidung der Seele"
...what's that in English
Very, but it's reliant on lodestone updates so it'll usually be an hour or two behind any character progress
ok,he found the solution:have to redo the weapons stats^^
tyvm for the huge help from everyone^^
have a good day
did the english elemental raiding scene dwindle with the opening of the OCE servers or are they sill thriving?
Still thriving
Still more active than OCE raiding scene by orders of magnitude
Haven't heard any stories of JP players being less tolerant.
From what I know, it seems more like a language barrier thing
Where can I buy the best crafter gear for lvl 70?
if i leave bozja with lost actions equipped do i keep them or do i need to put them back in the cache
scrip gear at any of the scrip vendors
you'll keep them
Where do I find scrip vendors ._.
for 70 its in Kugane or Rhalgrs
I think the splendor vendor right next to the tele-crystal in kugane is one.
is there a guide to farming irregular tomestones as BLU
Ah found one, ty
I don't know about a guide, but if you just need the list of spells you'll want for AV spam:
Ram's Voice + Ultravibration (for trash)
Missile/Tail Spin (1st two bosses)
Off-Guard + Whistle + Moon Flute + Final Sting ("Kamikaze combo" for last boss)
Thanks
You can pick whatever other spells you want to fill in the remaining spell slots. I usually like to bring White Wind, Song of Torment, Suparnakha, Sharpened Knife, and Fire Angon
Sonic boom is the main recommendation for single target since it has the shortest cast time
Yeah, Sonic Boom is good too.
Is there like a BLU group around for skill hunts?
Try partyfinder
they where gonna make it so one could get the Feast armor sets at some point right? did they say what ones they would add?

I can't use items in my armoire in the glamour dresser?
you can, you just have to switch to the armoire first
there is a button at the bottom when editing a glamour plate

whats the fastest way to earn "light" for zodiac nexus weapon
Tam Tara or ifrit normal
is the game open for new trial accounts now
Been open since mid February
nice
can I rewatch the hidden gorge cutscene the lil npc fellow gave me that i skipped when i first unlocked it
ig its technically the rival wings cutscene, im here at inn but cant find it in book
i dont think you can do that in the inn but you can try untick the disable cutscence after the first time (maybe all 3 of them) then enter hidden gorge again, might be a waste of time but at least you can
if i disabled "enable normal battle music" in settings will it stop playing boss music or just the normal battle theme
only combat music in overworld
Yoyo, how does taxes work and how much do they actually change?
you mean for Market Board? believe its 5% for normal, reduced is 3%, both buyer and seller get charged
do i need to progress to shadowbringers before I can play dancer?
Ye! Uhm? Seller gets charged, how so?
I believe u just need to own the expansion and hit lvl 60 in any class
if you have it bought, no, you just need to have a job at 60
yes
Got there a bit late lol
ok thanks!
Hahaha 
i've never played a game that had dancer as an option and as since that's what I do in real life, I kinda feel like I have to lol
@mellow pike to finish the last job quest you'll need to either die and do very easy mode or finish stormblood for the ilevel 400 gear. Cuz that's roughly what it's scaled for
and the job looks pretty cool 🙂
hope its not too hard though. I'm not the best at video games in general lol
Proc based, easy job.
Press the flashing buttons, if there aren't any press your first combo, there's higher end stuff you can focus on in a minute after you reach cap
Easy to play, last quest is just scaled for level 70 endgame ish gear
and dance whenever you can again, standard and technical step are your biggest skills
It's the same with all post hw expac job quests although my knowledge is pre stat squish so it might not be too bad
i believe when you get paid they take like 5% off the amount they give to your retainer, I have to double check when I get home but I believe that was how it worked
you can check your sales history to double check if you are playing right now
is it possible to use a macro to put a macro on the hotbar like with /hotbar?
im trying to use the paint emote and have it swap the color
you cant call a macro from another macro
hi everyone, I only plan to get into this game in summer which is in about 2 months time. But Steam is having a sale now. If i buy the game now, will my trial timer for the membership start ticking?
Trial isn't on timer
they mean the 30 free days
yup the 30 day trial
free 30 days, not 30 days trial
it's not a trial
it's the full base game with 30 days of subscription
(and expansions if you're looking at Complete version)
ah so will the 30 days subscription start ticking? as soon as I buy it, or does it need to have some form of activation which i can put off for 2 months
the details dont matter rn, the questions is wether the days start ticking after buying it or only after the codes are applied. i told them to ask here because of the new steam link that i dont fully understand
you can start free trial for no cost, lasts indefinitely
hah yup. Thanks!
its about buying the game rn because its on sale
It should still only start once the code has been used
if you upgrade to full version, instantly, otherwise like getting a code then after the code got registered
ah okay. I'm looking to get the steam version. But not too familiar with the process. Do i have to manually copy and paste an activation code to start my subscription?
Assuming i'm buying the complete edition (FFXIV Online starter edition + FFXIV: Endwalker - standard edition)
Yep, you get it from the CD keys menu and just...
Starter edition is the base game so it has to be registered first

Where the fuck is that info graphic explaining shit
!faq buy
Okay so starter edition is the base game which is everything on the free trial but without restrictiond
ah okay, so I am getting familiar with the mog station site. I made an account there. So I'm assuming, that i have to copy paste the code i get from steam onto the "create service account" section of mog station
Neat
Da ke
tbh the buy faq should be changed to use this pic for the time being
it's outdated, sadly
um its on sale on steam
it's on sale on steam only
oh
okay so on this, it says "free trial". But I have to purchase the base game for it yeah? And is this free trial "time based" or level based?
Eu apparently
No
the free trial is different
Free trial is the demo on steam
cause as the name suggests it's free
also it's not time limited
just limited in terms of content + social restrictions (content being the exact same as the starter edition)
Gonna put that in suggestions
ah okay, cos im only gonna be playing a lot in 2 months time when I'm on holidays. So till then i can play the free trial right? without wasting money under-utilized subscription for now
Ohhh okay, ye i will check soon then
you should create a free trial account with steam now then when you ready to commit (not to waste the free days), upgrade that account by entering the code, fully register the service
Yes
Yes, you can upgrade from the trial at any time you want
Is there a way to keep up with taxes? Ingame
you just can't go back to the trial once you upgrade
Aside from checking regularly no
On the duty finder, it always says "Adventurer in Need (Tank)," is this something that can be changed, or is it always like that, or do I just see it like that all the time because everyone needs tanks?
There's no free to play mode. You use up the free trial and it's gone
Latter
It changes whenever
Tanks are just rarer
It changes based on the least-queued role at the time.
dang I chose healer because I thought healers would be the most needed
Tank/healer in need is most common
but the bonus for being adventurer in need is very minor
hunting for it is not needed
Healer a little less so since everyone's leveling SGE now.
You can be all the roles, you know
!whoami
you go to the retainer Vacate NPC to check tax rate, it varies from server
but on mine, the starter cities are normal tax rate while expansion city is reduced
yeah I just prefer to stick to one class though, can't quite explain why
That's fine too.
I mostly do crafting
In need bonus isn't enough that you should change your role just to get it.
That's another class tho technically
there are some jobs you can not pick at character creation, just FYI
so you may wanna take a peek at those at least
might miss something you'd end up enjoying
Jokes aside bonus is really not important and negligible overall
Thank u so much! Imma start checking them regularly now
can I abandon green/ready to hand in beast tribe quests and get a chance to do them again? or are they gone for today gg i did them on the wrong job
They reset daily so you have 50 minutes to redo them
but I will get a chance to redo them yeah? if i abandon
Yes
easy ty
So gtfo and do that
i think as long as you picked them up already, you can even do them after the reset and turn in
and still pick up new quests afterwards
Not the question
He did them on the wrong job
So if he abandoned after reset they just gone
aren't you able to just change class for turn in?
Not after arr
ah
Tied to job
Because quest syncing and all that
wait if you abandon, do you get your beast quest allowance back? i dont remember
You do
yea i normally only do the most recent Beast tribe until i cap on reputation, so i normally have like extras so dont remember
i'm assuming you also get leve quest allowance back if you abandon?
No
Leves are different
oh boo
I hear people referring to quests as "2.1" or "3.0" or "2.3" and I'm curious if there's an easy place to check what content is associated with which version
I'm about to fight titan, am I still in 1.0 content?
X.0 is an expansion
1.0 is the original ff14 which was literally and in game nuked
So that's gonezo
You're in 2.0
X.1-5 are patches added after an expansion releases
2.x is ARR, 3.x is Heavensward, 4.x is Stormblood, 5.x is Shadowbringer and 6.x is Endwalker
And the achievements you get for completing quests in the post story mark when you have finished a patch
Lvl 1-50 is ARR
50-60 is HW so on and so on
Cool thank you! DLCs come in bunches of 10 I guess? so 61-70 is stormblood and 71-80 is shadowbringers
Every expansion increased the level cap by 10
hmm this new event i heard the cards are hard to get
but i dont see them on the shop
anyone knows why?
You haven’t done the required content
It says at the bottom of the page the requirements
2 Will become available for exchange once you have completed the quest "An Unwanted Truth."
*3 Will become available for exchange once you have completed the quest "An Auspicious Encounter."
*4 Will become available for exchange once you have completed the quest "Dramatis Personae."
Basically do the 4 Lords and start the stormblood 24man
Hey I am trying to get to LV80 what is the fastest way? I bought MSQ skip but not character skip
Ty!
We have a event today?
Little ladies day since yesterday
started yesterday
An equivalent to girls day in Japan iirc
Yesterday the little ladies day event started which is like the valentine's Day event along with another where you simply do dungeons with a moogle icon and get a special tomestone to exchange for rare and 1 unique item
i need help
Have you tried praying it away?
The little ladies day is in Udah by the adventurers guild, for the other event it's just moogle exchange points
when i install ffvix i tried to log into my new pc and it say i need to enter a registraion code
i alr register my registaion code
Logging in on existing account should work
but it keep saying code is use
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
i did log into existing acc but it kept saying i need enter myt registrqtion code
yes
i alr register the code like last year
Go into the mogstation website and looking there
i did
where is it
i cant find the registraion code on the mog station
it say i need transfer full game when i alr purchase shadowbringer and the base game
and i did purchase endwalker but i didnt enter the code and it say it redeem
Are you sure you're logging in with the correct account type? Steam if you have the Steam version, official launcher if you have the PC version?
yes i did
When you try to download the game, I mean.
i install the offical launcer as i use it to redeem my steam code there
You can't use the official launcher for the Steam version.
You have to use Steam for the Steam version.
@glossy flare buy faq has been updated but is now super long
its been 2 days since im trying to figure this out
Based on your screenshot... were you on the free trial and bought the game recently?
You must log into the Mog Station account management website and enter your Steam key to register your purchase to a FFXIV account.
!faq mogstation
no i purchase the game last year
i finish shadow bringer and wqaited for endwalker
Yeah I saw, nothing you can really do about it though (at least my photoshop skills are not up to making another cool infographic like we had earlier)
but i didnt play endwalker
Hmm
Can you screenshot this part of your Mogstation page?
Should be all the way at the bottom of the Account Status page.
^ under "Service Account Status" on the sidebar
Did you make sure you downloaded the correct launcher, like steam or Windows?
Side note
also what it says under "account type" at the top of the same page
!faq quicklauncher
it says i have to buy everything
Quicklauncher won't help if he's on Steam
It does work for steam
Quicklauncher works fine with steam
however the issue doesn't seem related to actual launcher issues
no it's worked with Steam forever
It was out of commission for like a day but that's it
this is me playing back in 2021
Always been steam compatible
Yeah, the problem seems to be something else entirely.
so this part of your account page has no ticks?
i download steam one
ye it has no tick but i purchase the game a long time ago
I wonder if maybe you deleted your service account instead of stopping your sub?
Then you don't own the game on that account and never have. If you bought and played the game in the past it must have been on a different account.
The older version of the Mogstation had a... "feature" where the "Cancel Subscription" and "Cancel Service Account" buttons were right next to each other.
A lot of people got trapped by that and ended up canceling their account when they only meant to unsub.
i nevber touch mog station ever since my subsciption expire
No, I'm saying that when you cancelled your subscription, you may have accidentally cancelled your service account
also i cant find this
???
ok
go to Service Account Status in the Mog Station sidebar
near top left
and then scroll down to the bottom of the page
cancelling service account wouldn't have "deleted" their licenses off their account
You told us there were no ticks on that part of your page so everything we just told you is based on that
ok so yeah you haven't registered any game purchases to this account
can you also tell us what it says under account type, at the top of the same page?
its possible to easily "boost" a friends job to 20 (by killing mobs they tag) but now that endwalker is out, is there a viable way to "boost" them to 30?
this part
So we're back to either the game was never registered to your account, or it was a different account.
the admoise is the one i paid
Not worth either player's time or effort compared to just using normal leveling methods
not really, because non blue jobs get shit exp from open world mobs
and that drops off around 20 or so
no, those are two characters not two accounts
But this here is telling me you're on the Free Trial.
but i purchase the game
Yeah you have absolutely never bought the game on this account
let me show the receipt
not on this account.
You may have bought it but never registered it.
If you bought and registered the game in years past it was on a different account
yea i'm pretty sure you logged into wrong account
or you never actually did that, and were playing on the free trial back then too
Doesn't matter if you bought the game, if you never actually registered the purchase to your account
It's just a game key sitting in your library not being used
nah he had a level 80 WHM so he definitely bought it
That's unlikely since their picture earlier shows a WHM using Trancendence, which is level 80.
Then, definitely wrong account
you've made a new free trial account instead of using your old one
is this your character from before?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/36837909/#profile
So we're looking at probably wrong account.
yeah, you logged into an entirely different account somehow.
or possibly he didn't link his steam to his SE account after they did the patch thing last week
You'll need to track down your old account.
Ans/or steam linked it
as i log into mog
no that's an automatic process when you log into the game on steam, shouldn't cause this stuff
it's very clearly a different account
physically impossible to have free trial status and a level 80 job
You don't log into Mog Station with an email address
Based on all of the information you've given us, you've logged into a completely different Mogstation account than you were using previously.
You have definitely made a separate account from the one you used to play on
that's a fact
what lyon said.
We can't really help you more, you have to track down your old account details
Sorry to interject. But regarding the Astronomy ilvl 580 590 gear is there any guide on which one to get 1st or I should just follow the rule of thumb Chest piece and pants 1st then the rest
Well weapon first if anything
Astronomy gear is 590
oh ya i mean 590
First off if you are doing/intend to clear savage
If you intend to do savage balance has suggested order
then only get the astronomy pieces that are part of your final BiS.
If not weapon will be the best gains
i dont have the discal tomestone thing 
Astronomy wep needs the raid tokens
And that's 2 weeks of tomes, 7 weeks of normal
Otherwise, get weapon ASAP but that requires 7 weeks of tokens from the normal raids
in the meantime, if any slot is way behind in ilvl replace that first
otherwise yeah basically chest/legs > head/hands/feet > accessories
is the priority in terms of how much impact they have on your stats
There'll be more 590 gear next month via alliance raids but only on the left side. You'll also be able to augment the tome gear to 600 casually
by casually do you mean I dont need to do savage? 
If you've found your old, separate account details
then log into the mog station with them and check out status
Yes
that my acc that i log into
Basically casuals have to wait 4 months ish to augment tome gear
saame account
Let's just say 4+ months
Then that means you deleted your service account
you need to find your old account
if i delet3e
then does a email show that i delete it?
you're telling us you didn't find your old account
you just logged into the same account again
that is my old acc
so it's not the same one
its the same username and pass
you're giving conflicting info 😔
No it's not
You don't get two accounts with the same login info
That makes them the same account.
You've lost your old account details somewhere.
We can't help you any further unless you can find them.
The account that you're logging into is a free trial account which has never had a bought copy of the game registered to it.
The account that you played on in the past and had a level 80 white mage on is a different account to the one you're logging into now.
Also possible that you've got two service accounts registered to the same Mogstation ID
but when i go to my laptop it has the same log in username as the one i log into mog station
On the Mogstation then, go under "Service Account Settings" in the side bar and click on "Switch Service Account"
and then?
You should see your available service accounts for your ID
