no way for them to know
Cause I died twice because he got ressed and didn't provoke, the dance partner didn't use DP and I didn't say anything about that I think I just asked a very normal question so Idk what the kick was for
Ahhh fair
Yeah..
ik but i wanna know the quest
Can't member it's near the studium tho
Make sure you do the lunchbox side quest by the aetheryte btw
lunchbox?
There's a lunchbox on a bench that's a side quest
the riddles one?
Uhm regarding Scholar's Fey illumination and Dissipation. Does the healing magic buff includes all heal or only gcd heals 
!action Dissipation
Orders your faerie away while granting you a full Aetherflow stack. Also increases healing magic potency by 20%.
Duration: 30s
Current faerie will return once the effect expires.
Summon Eos or Summon Selene cannot be executed while under the effect of Dissipation.
Can only be executed while in combat.
See how Dissipation just says healing magic potency, while Zoe specifies that it has to be a spell
Oh right I should ping @robust gust But yes, all heals
thanks 
hi does anyone know where i can ask for help leveling a job or class
Blus can't do leves, right?
you levelling an alt job?
@tulip chasm BINGO

i hate you kupo
Fight me kupo
What are the common ways to find a static group to try out savage raiding?
How long do relic quesrlines typically take
Look in partyfinder under the "Others" tab. There are channels here as well #recruitment-chaos
Erc is my goto for chaos and light
So not worth it just for glams then?
Depends how much you want the gam
I have 75% of the relics in the gamr
It is the true endgame
most relics these days can be done in like a week or so
Relic questlunes seem pretty long looking at the wiki
less depending on how much you feel like buckling down to grind it out
.
thanks for the help :)
does having an overleveled gathering profession ever stop making story quests really easy
Not eureka tho, unless you've already progged eureka
being able to just walk through everyone to get to the objective kinda busted
thats what you normally do pretty much

loyal housemaid's uniform on left
songbird on right
is there a way to 'suicide' on purpose in combat with the final boss in a dungeon, I forget to equip my relic weapon before starting it
Oof, any idea what the arms and weapon is? @pulsar escarp
stop attacking and start standing in shit
never seen weapons like that before personally but the arms on the housemaid are part of the set
I guess that's the only way, thanks!
honestly it's gonna take forever to kill yourself for zodiac weapon 
yeah but if you're desperate.. weigh up if it would take longer to run the dungeon again or die
Oof, I see
check in #glamour-discussion
maybe they might have seen stuff I haven't
or someone might answer later here
i'd suspect those are modded at first glance bc i don't recognize them
or they may be relic stages
yeah but I'm not putting it beyond that
just by the clear fact the char is modded a little I'd assume other assets are too
@flat sage i think one of them is replica high allagan guillotine
and the other is probably another replica high allagan weapon
Oof
That isn't a WHM thing then, ack
Fellas, Limbal Rings, will I be able to change them after I make this character or--
yes
yep
Okay good.
the other one is the same weap
was not expecting it to be replica high allagan though 
for dancer, how can i get flourishing starfall? I'm reading all the actions' description but I can't find which activates it
!action Devilment
Increases critical hit rate and direct hit rate by 20%.
Duration: 20s
Additional Effect: Party member designated as your Dance Partner will also receive the effect of Devilment
Additional Effect: Grants Flourishing Starfall
Duration: 20s
great, thxs
why do i have to wait 30 minutes instead of 10 for abandoning the duty
Another question but
Can someone please explain the joke?
I main WHM but I do not understand this
basically macrocosmos is stupidly strong spell that can deal with the mechanic in the picture very easily
whereas the whm has to basically do more work
because the penalty for leaving a duty first is a 30mins, always has been
it literally says 10 in the exit window

so the window is objectively wrong
attack does 9999999 damage but you have a buff to not die. skill on right heals based on damage. you have a heal down debuff, skill on right gives 0 fucks and full heals the whole party by itself
OH
Damn, and here I thought AST was the hardest job amongst Healers to learn--
are you certain you aren't misreading the window?
if you want a different version of a relic weapon for your glam than your current one
Because you basically ditched/griefed 3 or more other pellle
You can buy replicas
the game autofills almost instantly
Se sees it as you griefing people, regardless of role
yeah that window i missreaf
because that's not saying you'll get a 10 min penalty, that's saying you left a premade party before 10 minutes have passed
It arguably still is. It just has one skill that pretty much ignores this specific mechanic
every time i've seen someone leave an instance they get replced in less than a minute
doesn't griefing imply i did it just to be an asshole
If you want to get into semantics. Se sees it as you deliberately inconveniencing other players in multiplayer content
For which you are being punished
Doesn't matter if the role is filled in 10 seconds or 10 minutes. You've potentially stopped these 3+ other players from enjoying the game
technically speaking it is one of the more challenging healers but you're rarely going to have issue with healing
it's more the other things it has to keep track of with bursts and buffs
okay i was being a bitch for ditching them but i really didn't want to be forced to run a dungeon i didn't need to with a tank that wasn't using their defensive cooldowns
It's up to you if you'd rather take a penalty for thirty minutes or suffer with it
I often choose to go do something else for thirty.
Anyways not the place to discuss this
you try healing a tank the tries to wall to wall without defensive cooldowns
This is why the system exists
I do it all the time
People suck
Ok cool
like go take this elsewhere
cos honestly its not really the place to shit on them, either kats
do hunt marks ever expire?
no
well i've gotta do some laundry anyways so might as well do that while i'm waiting

anyone have any advice for boosting crafting? I'm trying to catch the sawfish but I don't think my gathering is high enough
So assuming someone buys the platinum eternal bonding plan and then I get the free one, I know the ceremony itself gets downgraded to the free plan, but does the person still get the items he paid for?
Do insides of apartments differ? Like default uldah apartment from default limsa?
no
because you're both on the free plan then
only difference between them is the inner pillar style
how do i unlock replica relics
progress the relic far enough and a vendor unlocks
for the ARR relic, you need a completed zeta to buy replicas. for the others, you need to basically get to a certain step of the relic chain (usually early-mid point) to unlock the npc who sells it
depends which it is for when it unlocks
hmm i see ty
Sawfish? As in Titanic Sawfish? Beast of Brewer’s Beacon quest? Tbh you might want to leave that one alone for a while. Those legendary fish quests are difficult even at level 90.

hi.
So I should just level up fishing via leves?
that's the main of levelling gathering in general
Yeah it’ll be much faster
don't forget ocean fishing every 2 hours
im a introvert who wont be going out of the house for a while due to my job of being a programmer. its all remote and stuff.
i would like to know if i can make friends on this game? is the community good?
I've been doing leves but I feel like I can't rest until I complete this challenge y'know
It's been friendly for me so far
you can make friends in any game
the community is good but it's more about how much effort you put forward in making friends
yeah... wana try what i did before considering coming to this game?
play overwatch
join a guild, interact with them, add people you match with, etc.
that's funny actually, I have friends I still talk to that I met over overwatch
it's like overwatch when you start doing higher dungeons and raids
if you can survive the overwatch community then you should easily be able to find friends in this game lol
well... not a lot of people enjoy talking to me so im screwed anyway lol.
gotta find some grass in a local park or something.
alrighty. thanks for the insight
its really hard to find people who has the same interests as you outside of a business social group. and those ones will always be interested in more money. not having fun while doing your job
I mean, if you're looking to find friends in ffxiv
it doesn't take any more effort than joining a guild and talking in guild chat
and if the guild doesn't have the kind of people you want to interact with, just leave and join the next one
Ocean fishing every 2 hours is better but yeah they're good
send friend requests to players you liked when doing dungeons
follow up and message/invite them to do more shit
idk it's a social game and friends grow on trees, but you have to pick them
is trying out blue mage a good idea?
depends what you want out of blue mage? they aren't a regular class
you'd need to go out and get powerleveled to max and go hunt down all the spells you need to learn
used to queue for 5 min for normal 1st-4th circle
taking ~20 min now per circle, did it die?
it is Saturday
i've been queuing on the same time on sats 😳
its also like week 12 or whatever so
Can I be your friend? 
come on dude I told you what happens in Limsa stays in Limsa ok

It's a level 79 msq iirc
The Light of Inspiration
Idk, but it's hard to get max rewards without a party
A/S ranks operate like fates, if you're in a party its party generations, but you still need to have atleast hit the mob once to get credit
which is why if you're not in a party, its pretty hard to get full credit (assuming you're doing shb/ew hunts)
yeah i was just wondering if i should be going as tank with stance on or i can be good as dps
in a party
doesnt matter, ultimately, but easier to generate enmity with tank/healer
can you unlock the glamour items from the fashion report shop by getting under 100%? I don't want to spend so much on dyes
You just need a cumulative amount of points
So it'll take longer but doing just the 80 points is still fine
i'm trying to find the name of a specific bgm track from xiv. i'm pretty sure it played in other parts of the game before endwalker, but the only moment in the game i remember it playing was in endwalker when (spoilers) ||you're tracking down meteion right after she connects to her shared consciousness||. you can hear it here: ||https://youtu.be/TK7Gd11M_ag?t=7355||. anyone know what song this is? (it's at 2:02:35 in the video)
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker is the fourth expansion pack to Final Fantasy XIV, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square Enix for Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. It will be released in December 2021, over two years after Shadowbringers, the previous expansion. Its pro...
where under achievements do you check how many mentor roulettes you've ran
how can i get endtide aethersand from a fish? desynth?
i dont have fisher class, but the fish is cheaper in market than the endtide aethersand
You have to do aetherial reduction
Which is desynth collectables
Which are untradeable
first time i hear about aetherial reduction, what's that?
.
with desynth collectables, u mean regullar collectables that I get only with desynth, or anything else I don't know about?
Gathering collectables
ok
ff14 web site says I can get endtide aethersand from one fish, i already bought the fish from market, to obtain the endtide from the fish, do i need that aetherical reduction?
why does it say my connection is poor right now when it usually says excellent but im not lagging in any other games 🤨
oh, so no the regullar fish, , but a collectable version of the fish (different item same name), right?
bingo.
turn on collector's glove before interacting with the node
my fisher is at lvl 2, so it's not an option for me now lol
So either scrips or mb
just to be sure, Collector's Glove is something only for fisher, or for every gatherer (and that would be another thing I don't know about yet lol)?
it's called ||what comes of despair||
Three dooms to unmake all we were.

hm
Is it fun to fish in ff14? I know there is something like instances for fishing with party and stuff like that (but I don't know how it works),
but is it worth to invest time there? Does it give a fun time? I kinda like fishing in other games
Subjective
yeah, i know, but what's ur subjective opinion about that?
well is the music that shows up in that cutscene, but i'm looking for the track that plays immediately after that cutscene ends

That one is an incidental track and I’m not sure if it has a name. I’m still scouring through the soundtrack releases but I haven’t found it yet.
yeah same, i was wondering if it's just a nameless track that doesn't show up in the osts
do you know which ost it's from? or if it's even from an ost?
i could've sworn i've heard it in the game before endwalker
but i can't remember any other specific moments
Yeah it plays several times during Shadowbringers
ok yeah, so i'm not crazy
i'm going to go look through the heavensward and stormblood osts
yeeup
Yeah just found it. Inner Recess.
:o
man no wonder i couldn't find it, it's old af and isn't anywhere on youtube
but nice, thanks!
it is technically on youtube
via Square Enix Music Channel
the downside is that the names are in JP
but its track 44
considering the game is on ps4/ps5
game is designed with controller in mind
controllers are extremely common and widely regarded as a perfectly fine control scheme
so if controller is more comfortable for you, feel free to use
I play on pc using a controller and it works perfectly
How many Krakka Root come out if I plant a bag of Krakka Root Seeds in a flowerpot?
I've cleared the hardest raids in the game on controller. Don't let anyone tell you it's inferior to mouse and keyboard
depends on what soil you use, with g3 shroud you'd get 18 @indigo cosmos
thanks!
If you're viewing a cutscene that plays after a dungeon and you need to exit the game, will it always start from the beginning of that cutscene once you log back in?
Usually
Like my game dc’d in the ARR credits and it started back at the beginning of the cutscene
Well I'm more concerned about the possibility of it just skipping the cutscene entirely when I log back in.
Just asking because I'm in the final Endwalker dungeon and I got something I gotta do after I'm finished, and I know a lot of cutscenes will play.
Yeah but I'd rather not have to do the final trial without seeing the cutscene leading into it. ~.~
The cutscene before the trial is about 15 minutes at most
I could probably just leave it. The DC timer is about 30 minutes these days, right?
Yes
Yeah I shouldn't be that long.
But the dungeon timer still ticks
Wait so...
Anyways, enjoy the ending!
The cutscene starts immediately
It should bring you back to the start of it
Ah okay.
No, if you stay in the dungeon instance the timer ticks
Ping me in #archived-lore-spoilers about your thoughts after 
So I asked yesterday but didn’t get an answer. Is there a minion like this? This little guy is so cute
No

So just did PotD 1-10 to show a friend, and we went Matched party, can we not switch to just the 2 of us for 11-20?
You can go from a fixed party to a matched party but not the other way around. Matched has to stay matched.
Ah so we need to restart it and go as Fixed. Later on can we get more people to help if needed?
As in for a matched party? Yeah as long as they have a file that is also matched on the same set of floors.
I meant like if we do 1-30 as a Fixed party just the 2 of us. Then we want to do 4 players for 31-50.
If we could get extra help, as long as we started it as Fixed.
You’d have to convert to a matched party but yes
But don't have to start over.
Correct
Also the pomedors stay between the Fixed party forever right? It's only during matched that they reset every 10 floors?
Yeah fixed parties keep pomanders between floors. Matched parties lose them.

Basically if you place a card and two sides create an equal sum, it counts as a capture.
what
ty ❤️
Here, the green card is touching the two reds.
Add up the numbers that are touching.
Since these are equal, it counts as a capture.
Each other. Both sides add up to 9.
It doesn’t have to be 9. The sums just have to match.
I was wondering, if me and a friend both want to try out the game together on the free trial, how easy would it be to find kind strangers willing to create a party for us?
Shouldn’t be too hard. Just post up in a major city and ask over chat
ok, thank you. I'll give it a try
question would alpha scape v4 normal be doable with just 2 people unsynced?
it has been done solo on WAR
if you pair a tank with a healer it should work I guess
hmm what about savage version?
O12S still hurts a LOT at 90.
ok thanks might have to get some of my fc to help then thanks
So, question. Just unlocked Rival Wings, since I hear that is the fastest way to farm the new Irregular Tomestones. But it is telling me it's a 30+ wait time?
is castrum like 50% of an xp bar at 80+?
I got like 90% at 88
off a castrum? i figured prae would be like a level
are free trial chars searchable in the lodestone?
What is the best way to farm irregular tomestones? I am wanting at least 80, but I'd prefer 130+
aurum vale 3x BLU + 1 war spam
any tank works, but war is the best cuz holmgang
Just find folks in PF?
yea\
why did my sub cost 1 extra euro?
thats probably a test transaction for a card
Did you change card info? Sometimes things get a 1 euro hold
itll be reverrtted in a few days
oh i see.. first time i notice it

o12s has many early instadeath things so it can't be soloed
or at least with current stat squish and gear its instant
Pretty sure the fact that it's only 1 tick means it was a test charge
i accepted items from the delivery moogle, but i'm not sure where the items went. i checked my inventory using "i" and i didn't see it. are items sent to a storage of sorts somewhere?
what items
if it was an armour item (i.e something intended for glamour) it's probably in your armoury chest
thank you!
do shields and swords combined (PLD) have a higher rate of getting certain trial items from desynth? say dancing wings from titania weapon?
Shields no longer drop trial mats
Only the sword
is the sword the same rate then compared to other weapons?
According to the note they might have buff the sword desynth drop rate. But I don’t think it’s that much since I been desynthing sword a lot
Yes, so just spend your totems on sword

Sword is 7 totems but we have absolutely no idea of desynth rates
I do swords tho
If the odds are different it's like trying to roll a 6 on a d6 vs a d8 and I'm just gonna try rolling more d8s and see what happens
didnt have luck with swords so far but i guess its just rng in the end so idk
Is this game good on ps4?
Yes
Is it cross platform?
Yes
So you're asking does the game look good on this TV?
Basically
Hell you can even plug and mouse and keyboard into the ps4
Or 5 for that matter
The servers... Like I could be playing on ps4, and a friend could be playing on PC... And we can still at together?
And ps4 support is here for at least another 4 years
Also yes
All the one set of servers
Free trial is good but no social features 4 u
Can it be soloed? Like, could you theoretically finish the game alone? Like, main story wise...
Not yet
Damn...
It'll be 90% soloable by the time the next expansion comes out
But you can basically play it like a single player game
It's a final fantasy game first mmo second
Yeah it's an MMO so I expect to have to find parties...
That's the outright design philosophy
We have matchmaking for that
Ok, imma try it...
And there's other shit you can do while queuing
Ffxi is pretty easy now...
And we have those in shadowbringers and Endwalker the 2 latest expansiobs
And they're gradually adding them into the previous expansions starting in the next major patch
That's what I was referring to here
You can summon npc allies that you gain by talking to or doing quests for specific npc's, and it makes it easy for people who don't have friends, since it's hard to find parties now that the game is so old...
That's only currently a feature in the latest 2 expacs
Being added to previous story content
But gradually
Starting with 6.1
It’s not like queues take forever, people still get dragged into old content
So ffxi is chill... Most of the game, is traveling the huge open world, talking to npc's, and doing quests in specific areas... It's only grindy if you decide to continue playing after max level and get gear levels n stuff...
We got a whole series of post game content in stormblood based of ffxi
The forbidden land, Eureka
The only thing I don't like about ffxiv is that you still have to pay monthly...
Like, it's a sixty dollar game with expansions that also cost a bit...
Funny enough I killed absolute virtue there earlier today
But like
Each expansion is basically an entire jrpg worth of content
Expansions only come out every 2 years
And free trial is the base game + first expac with no time limit
Idk, I'm probably just a cheap skate... But I don't like having to pay monthly ;_;
Literally everything in that for free for as long as you want to try it
Oh damn, no time limit?
I didn't know that...
Only thing you probably won't be able to do is extreme trials, coils and savage raids
It only stops if you upgrade
Someone fetch the copypasta
How do you get the free trial?
!faq freetrial
You download it...
You can also download the free trial off psn
Is the free trial on ps4?
You don't need ps+
Yes
Ohhh
So yeah, give it a go, just remember to play it more like a jrpg and less like an mmo
And the story's a bit of a slow burn
Nah, there's no free trial on ps4, I'm on the store rn, it just shows stuff that cost money...

how do I get the antiquated chaos armor?
aether still having server issues?
ive noticed some ping spikes that are causing issues with GNB double weaving very rarely, but otherwise no
all of NA was down earlier this morning
i saw on reddit
idk if aftereffects of that are still lingering
possibly, but it's like 1 double weave every 2-3 dungeons where i notice it
not significant enough to be concerneda bout
i just straight up dced just now
oh wild. yeah then idk
yooo so can someone help me set up my dancer bar, that would be sick
i got a new pc and i physically cannot remember how i had it organized cuz i havent played for months
Can you still play the earlier content for free?
once you buy the game you can never go back
Only if you’re controller. :/
im not </3
@pure zenith Huh? Like once I sub I have to stay subbed to play?
yes
once you activate the full game you will always need sub to play and cant return to free trial
Oh. I thought you could still do like all the previous content... Just wanted to get on and heal some of the lower dungeons 😦
Been over here confused about my account, checking the site, checking mogstation, downloading both clients -.- Thank you
Hey so i reached lvl 80 and im kinda overwhelmed what i should do now. im open for every kind of advice :D
more main story
get to 90
Do optional stuff you forgot about
idk if that was smart but i bought the pack that instantly got me to 80 maybe that was a stupid decision but i got told i should do that cause leveling is super boring and now im completely overwhelmed with everything
yeah buying the 80 skip will overwhelm any new player lol
most people will generally tell you to go through the story and level naturally
and only consider boosting when you have a good handle on the game
well seems like the people i talked to gave pretty bad advice lol
now im sitting on my lvl 80 char
Okay but
you can go and get a different class and just level that one
Did you buy the story skip too?
idk i dont think so
Then yeah what ringabel said
Alright I got it downloading...@warm snow Thanks so much...
yeah just pick up another class nad go from level 1 then lol
N P, have fun
hi guys not sure if anyone could help me out on this one
i remember a while back we were being offered free transfers to oceanic realms but i stopped playing
They’re still a thing
came back recently and was wondering if its still possible
OCE is still classified as “new”
Yep
where do i initiate the transfer?
Transfers remain free as long as the servers are designated “new” status
Mog station > home world transfer service
awesome ty
okay so i just saw i got the story skip thing aswell
uhm i suppose that was a kinda stupid thing to do?
so i think i cant do the story anymore
Well NG+ is a thing, just like do that

do i need to be in a specific grand company to get clan hunts
Any
thank u
any good mgp farming guide?
do fashion report to 80 every week, participate in GATEs, do triple triad weeklies and challenge log, play lord of verminion or chocobo races
pick MGP from scriptures and wondrous tails
what kind of weekly income am i looking at?
!faq mgpguide
180k a week if you fully complete the challenge log and do the fashion report
But full completion takes a LOT of time and effort
But there’s a few easy ones, like play 5 Lord of Verminion games a week for 27k
Don’t even need to win
Just let the AI kill you if you wan
yeah im aiming for the kokopur thingy, but dont want to spam farm and burn out
the chocobo race and mahjong ones in particular dont seem worth it
Mahjong is never worth it
my only gripe is ill need mahjong for the achievement
mahjong is triple triad right
No
Mahjong is the IRL game of Riichii Mahjong
Where you play against others and form good hands to get the most points
It takes a lot of practice to be good at it
It’s like Rummy or a really complex version of poker
But a game easily takes over 30 minutes to complete
And you need to do two for the challenge log entry that gives 5k
So it’s never worth it if you just want the MGP.
my understanding is there are people in JP who have XIV subs just for mahjong?
even better lol
And apparently we have one of the best overall free mahjong clients
Weirdest flex of FFXIV
How can you change the colour of the glowing part of the eureka armor?
You can’t. :/
i just want those achievements to help finish out the GC achievements
yea I was gonna say
you can't really do much better than ffxiv mahjong
even comes with a customizable character
ive seen people with different colours tho
there are only two
gold and green
and it's for the fending/maiming sets specifically
i swear ive seen purple
nope it was eureka
are you referring to another role's set?
i honestly dont know at this point
I’m checking the sets
i feel like im going crazy
Yeah purple glow is aiming and kinda casting
well that sucks, thanks
Is there a requirement for having multiple submersibles? I have 4 dive credits but no option to make another boat
You need to find and complete the rank 40 exploratory zone called Purgatory.
Gotcha
Oh wait there are two more.
At rank 20 you must find and complete Unidentified Derelict and at rank 30, find and complete The Wreckage of Discovery I
I'm still sad that omori didn't come to 3ds like it was meant to...

do fates spawn randomly or is there a way to predict them
Some fates are part of a chain
But it's random for the most part
Don't tell me you're trying to do arr relic books
So if you want a specific one to spawn, gotta clear the board
You can only have a certain amount of fates active in a zone so doing fates can spawn the one you want faster
mi am why
Book step is the worst part of zodiac
Cuz they are the single most tedious pain in the ass relic step in the entire game
And I've been grinding eureka
do materia slots 'use up' ilvl? ie is a 130 blue bow still better than a 133 white HQ with two slots?
No
Look at the stats
But at that low an item level difference sub stats can make a difference even before materia
Ok... How do I get my one time password...
If you never made one, leave it blank
unless you set one you don't need to fill in that field
That's 2 factor authentication
tried to submit an application for a fc and it says unable to process application ,what could cause this?
if i put my relic in the glamour dresser than remove it at a later point can i still use it for the quests
Yes if the relic can even go in the glamour dresser in the first place
Don't think it can by the time you're doing books, but i can't remember
If it has Custom stats, that’s a no
i'm about halfway through my first book
Heh
The whole thing?
correct
Oh that’s hilarious
i mean most of the relics can't go into the dresser
even before the choose your stat stage
only 2 steps of the HW relic can go in and those are the blue ones, not even technically relics if you wanna be pedantic
i don't think there's any actual relic that you can put in the dresser? that's why the replicas are there
oh, the hw ones
Is grand company per character or account wide?
character
character
almost nothing in game is account wide
Ahh ok ty
in regards to unlocks
it's not a super substantial choice, anyways
ShB up to laws order can iirc
^
I just checked gamer escape lists them as can
they've gotten somewhat better about it
as eureka/shb do got a bit further before you can't
Up to elemental +2iirc for sb
either way, not entirely ARR jank
i got all my crafters and gatherers to 90, what should I do now??
Whatever you want?
Is there a command like /bgm for muting voices?
yes, /voice
Nice, thanks.
ARR levemetes have more leves than can be shown, its like 4 or so can be shown but have like 6 or somethint
so you may need to pick up and complete one to rotate the list
Identical basically
Alright... Just gonna choose aether then...

If I wanna deal huge damage, what's the best job and race I should select to do so...
Wrong command
Oh ok, they don't each have different stats?
No
they technically do but it's so small to the point where it literally doesnt matter
Really?
3 points in a game with 100s
I know god used to affect elemental resists until HW
And that was removed, so doesn’t matter
the deity thing was removed in sb
I've collected some Sparkstone with a collectability rating but idk where to turn them in at
It’s a custom delivery item, for adkiragh
they're for adkiragh custom delivery
so if you don't have him unlocked/not request item for the week just toss them
gotcha. I'll try to unlock them or toss them 🙂
What is the fastest way to level a job from 1-30?
I've heard ppl mentioned fishing but I've never fished before so....
Looks like that’s what he wants on rank 2
!faq altlvlguide
i dont get construct 7's math mechanic
it just looks like
basic division
but obviously thats not the case
oh
Also primes
okay i finished story and im lvl 80 now but i dont have shadowbringers. is there still content i can do?
do you mean endwalker?
Not at your level. If you don't own Shadowbringers/Endwalker (and never purchased Stormblood prior to Shadowbringers being released), then you're restricted to level 60 and under content.
because if you're 80 you have shb.
They bought a skip
i havent tried it yet, can you do dungeon picture mode with others in your party?
okay so i have to buy the addons?
!faq buy
Click here for NA
Click here for EU
Click here for JP
Before purchasing, you may wish to try out the game with the Free Trial, which allows you to experience the game up to level 60 with no limitations on playtime, albeit with some social and trade-related restrictions. See !faq freetrial for info.
Please be aware that FFXIV is a subscription-based game, and after purchasing the game you must pay for each month of play. There is no way to return to being a Free Trial player after you have registered a purchased copy of the game to your account; you must pay to log in and continue playing.
PC users: make sure to buy the game on your preferred store (Steam vs. Square Enix Store). Purchasing the game on Steam locks you into using Steam for all future expansion purchases, and similarly purchasing it via Square Enix Store or any other non-Steam retailer locks you out of ever using Steam to play FFXIV. After your game code has been registered to your FFXIV account, this decision can never be changed.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition:
AKA the ''base game.'' Gives access to A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. This is the same content that you can play during the Free Trial, but with the Free Trial restrictions on social interactions, trading, PvP etc. lifted. Comes with 30 days of subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker:
Gives access to Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and the latest expansion, Endwalker. Does not include any bonus subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition:
Combines all of the above into a single purchase (including the 30 days of subscription time).
You would need to purchase Endwalker, yes.
Does square enix have a problem forgetting people passwords? Because I have to change my password constantly ever 1-2 months because it just randomly forgets my password
That’s not a thing
ok and if i buy endwalker where should i start then
If you buy Endwalker, you'll pick up the MSQ
where you left off and be able to continue all the way to level 90.
okay i suppose im gonna do dungeons and stuff once im lvl 90?
Dungeons have been a thing the entire game
Yes. Currently there are 2 Extreme trials, 3 dungeons, and 4 Normal raid bosses which are level 90 content.
They'll add more over the course of the expansion.
This is how things always go.
ok im gonna go get endwalker now. and then im gonna lvl till 90 and then i can start doing some endgame content?
You can do endgame content once you've completed the entire MSQ
Yeah you can’t skip the current expansion’s story
yeah but just know that a lot of endgame will be locked behind mini stories
Completing MSQ
is a hard requirement for all endgame content. The quests
to unlock raids and Extreme trials don't even appear until you've completed the MSQ
that and you wont have much to do if all you are going for is endgame since the game is designed around the story being a very big piece of content
in the early game if i want to swap jobs is it faster to just swap or make a new character
swap
jobs below your highest get a 100% exp buff
plus its super easy to pick them all up
cheers
It's never going to be faster to make a new character just to swap jobs, since you'll have to go through the MSQ and won't have the armory buff for jobs under the level of your highest level job.
Hello, not sure if this is better for beginners lounge but I just bought the starter edition and I'd like to maybe level with others in a party or something, I've never been able to play an mmo with a group of other people but ffxiv looks really fun and I'd like to get into the game
Don’t need to, just do the msq
Questing content in XIV isn't really designed to be done in a group, and most people will do dungeons using the duty finder, which automatically groups you with other players.
You also don't really do a lot of world grinding in this game as, again, that's not really how it's designed.
If you want to have other people to play with, you might want to look for a social, new-player-friendly Free Company (player guild).
Ok thanks for the info

Which crafter earns the most gil? My friend told me Goldsmith, the jewerly sells for a lot (at least on our world)
depends on the market in your world
Of course assuming max level
The one people want stuff from
but like crafters use mats from other crafters so thats also a thing
crown all you want but the truth is theres no real answer other than all of them
I have question... I never played for about 6 months and when I try to log in it's telling me to put my registration CODE again... do I have to do that and my previous progress is still there?
Edit.. So I try to put my Registration Code again and obviously the code is already in use... what to do?
Are you using the correct launcher, and are you subbed
correct launcher? in there another launcher that I have to use?
Six months would be before the launch of Endwalker. So it's probably asking for a EW registration code.
Nah, that was December iirc
Which you don't need to do
Right. They're saying they haven't played in six months.
-
Are you playing on Steam or non-Steam
-
Are you playing on the free trial launcher or the full launcher
Bought the game on Steam and register my accounts on square enix
Did you go into mogstation
!faq mogstation
is there any way to increase the number of quest that show up on the duty list on the screen
I don't about the launcher if it is not correct or trial or what not... but that was from square enix...lol
Only goes to 5
It would be right here but the maximum is 5
If you bought the game on steam, you have to play the game using steam. This is why we’re asking you to look at your account info
You need to launch from steam if you bought it on steam.
They’re considered separate and mutually exclusive licenses
Yes obviously I played the game on steam but the FFIV launcher hindered me to launch the game...
Is it the steam launcher
If you installed the PC version of the launcher, then that would happen.
^
Also caused by using the wrong launcher for your account
Like steam for non-steam and vice versa
Or not having registered the game on Mogstation.
Even if you're using the correct launcher
That's confusing
It really isn’t
PC, Steam, or Playstation version?
I got that error through downloading the trial version on steam
Decided to switch from using the version downloaded from the website to steam
That's why
Can’t do that
The two versions are mutually exclusive
physically not possible
you're locked into the standalone version
Not on the same account any way
unless you make a new squenix account entirely
That's really weird
it's mildly weird but iirc blame steam
Or Just make a new account
You just can't have both versions of the same type (e.g. PC and Steam trial) on the same account
Just buy the game on Steam and download the Steam version, and you should be good.
Alright
Not a good suggestion from that guy, but noted
I will do that
lol
Will I need to reinstall the game itself or does that stay the same?
oh man I only use Steam and register my account using the launcher provided then I only take a rest from the game now I can't get into the game anymore... because it keeps telling to to enter registration code again which obviously does not work... I'm confused now
When was the last time you logged into the game?
Also please look at your mogstation info, we’re trying to help
And when you're launching the game, are you using a shortcut on your desktop, or going through the Steam platform?
But yeah, like Fuil said, we're trying to help, but we need more information to do so.
I can't remember.. maybe 5 or 6 months
So prior to the Steam link update, which was two weeks ago.
If you're using a launcher shortcut on your desktop... don't.
as I said I only use steam
Okay? You can make a desktop shortcut for any game in Steam. I know because I do it for games all the time.
So if you did that, the shortcut won't work anymore.
Is what I'm saying.
haven't we all know that? lol
Launching the game through Steam should prompt you to link your account to the Mogstation, as that's something that was added in the last two weeks.
It might also mention changing your password, but you should probably do that anyways
If it doesn't, then either you don't actually have the Steam version, or you'll need to redownload the launcher.
There's also a way to trick it into thinking you've redownloaded the launcher, but I don't know how to do that since I've never needed to.
It involves changing a value in one of the files.
I managed to finally prog p4s p2 act 2. What's the next hard milestone?
imo act 4
act 3 is just knowledge check
like
can you remember your tower, your bait spots, and kb immune?
Alrighty, thanks
Would people fault me for progging act 4 despite having never done act 3?
as long as you study act 3 pretty well
just remember to kb immune after first kick
alright, thanks
pinax memes are so real...

my bad... so this is my problem I accidentally log in my US accounts because I forgot. I honestly use JP accnts for my FFIV now I can't delete that ID anymore to re-enter my JP ID.. any idea?
What lvl a crafter needs to be to do items for Ishgard resto?
20 minimum for crafters. 10 minimum for gatherers.
when in lv 72-lv78 content, is it better to use infuriate to do chaotic cyclone or just stick with Fell cleave on boss fights?
Chaotic cyclone
Thanks!
soz if its in an obvious place but can I check character creation date?
Probably a dumb question, but to get the moogle tomestones, you have to do everything synced right?
yes
ty!
The closest thing you can really do is logging into the lodestone and check the date of your oldest achievement in the character profile
The first achievement most people get is from doing 10 quests, which happens very fast at the start
Do people still run Dun Scaith at all? The other two took a while, but Dun just isn't hitting at all.
oh nice! thanks
Might be your DF language settings if you’re playing on a JP or EU datacenter
Or a early/bad time of day.
hey y'all, just had my second Odin FATE clear today. Any idea why I didn't receive any Odin mantles on my second clear?
did u actulaly do enough to get contrib?
did you get gold/silver rating?
get a party and contribute
I don't know what's required, honestly. I got the actual FATE rewards of XP and gil and seals, the FATE was finished at Gold.
Is a party important?
easiest if you change to tank, turn stance on and just keep hitting stuff (don't spam provoke)
and get a party
yeah, for strong fate/hunt, it's tough to get a gold
Okay. That makes sense. I was in a party I'd randomly been invited to the first time, but not the second.
do you not get the af gear of other jobs on the same role when you do shb role quests
you get
they ahve to be 80 first
before u can get their gear
assuming u did the role chain
did you talk to grenoldt in the tempest?
ya
and they are level 80 correct?
mhm
odd...that worked for me just today
is it caster/ranged and melee for dps role questline respectively?
then you didn't do your role job quest
caster, phys, tank, heal
Physical dps and caster dps in ShB
EW has all of them actually split correctly
They can, yes.
oh, got it lol
You can pick between "princess" and thd other thing
my dumb butt got that role quest at the start of shb and forgot it was on there
So either suit or dress
The other outfit is the high house bustle
You did, you just weren’t paying attention
dang lol

server dependant
Um, primal?
depends on the market
And that’s ever changing
Oh boy
For a Reconditioned Anima Weapon
and coming from someone that isn't a crafter at all
I might as well just
explore other options for now--
Just use the gathering scrips
So I bought the hempen undershirt, expeditioner’s tabard, etc on the marketboard. But now it says I can’t put them up for sale. Why is that?
You used it?
for the ARR relic, the alexandrite step says it can also be obtained from doing FATEs with that weapon. i dont see the amount listed so i assume it's basically 1 per fate, so really not worth doing?
If you've used it for, say, glamour projecting, the item becomes bound to you. Meaning you can't put it on MB.
or earned combat experience while wearing it
Oh. How do I unbound it?
you dont
It's permanent. Can't unbind an item.
How does someone know if I am in a specific LS? A player just whispered me and ask me to inv him/her.
Damn. It doesn’t show any binding on the bar. I just had it in my glamour dresser
p sure theres that popup when u add it to the glam dresser that says it'll be bound. do you wanna proceed
or osmething like that
Damn
It’s on the item tool tip
Ohhhh
also UNTRADABLE has basically the same effect
Also, I have the moonfire trunks and vest, but I’m a female viera. Can I get the female version somehow?
try calamity salvager, they have a bunch of gender conversions for gear
for seasonal gear
ah
moonfire gear isn't seasonal
it's just a craftable thing, so you can't exchange it
And when used in combat: this item is now bound to you appears in chat
I'm 0 everything at Crafters
Might take waaaay too long
doh/dol is usually a good investment, but yeah
there are other ways to get it
poetics, primal items
Maybe he/she just done a duty with you and traceback your home world from that
but the easiest are indeed gather/craft scrips
you only need 150 of those envelopes for 1 weapon
You sure that math’s right? Because you need 60 sand
Okay I forgot that, been a while
QUESTION
Does the amount of new players in a roulette stack
So if there's 3 new players
Is that 300 poetics
no
darn it
it's a binary thing
Is there new people: Yes or no
Okay, I have optimised my malevolent plot to farm poetics
doing ARF?
ohhh right, is there a list of 'recently played with' players?
