scrips help you to gear up ._.
you can kill 2 bird with one stone by lvling using all collectable but afaik it's slower
they have scrips equipment (like poetics like dow/dom)
also collectables will also unlock custom deliveries
the quest I mean
pretty sure lvling gear isnt that expensive
are you playing in the same DC as him? lol
but yeah I guess, if you craft all the gears yourself
you can buy lvling gear from npc tho
i just unlocked custom deliveries, haven't done a single collectible turnin 🙂
yeah custom deliveries has low req and gives plenty of scrips/exp, but limited to 12 turn in, 6 per NPC weekly
i guess i'll look up a guide once i've had my coffee, thanks! (not sarcasm!)
Need clarification guys. Eureka weapons are mandatory for elemental armor or nah?
yep
you need to finish a pagos relic to unlock pyros gear, and need to finish a pyros relic to get the elemental+1 armor
huh
Okay. Understandable
Indeed it is
Not the lvling tho
Thanks my friends
Going back to eureka on Tuesday.
good luck o/
at the end of arr rn, need to do castrum meridianum but i can't because my avg item level is 41 (min required is 42)
my neck, wrists, and ring jewelry are all level 30 and under, so i figure i should go get some that are higher, but i don't know where else to look besides the independent jewelers in the city states and i already have the best ones available from them (for disciples of war). what should i do?
did you do your lvl 50 job quest
yes
that gives ilvl 90 gear
ik but that has lower defense than what i'm currently wearing, although the bonuses are much higher
in that case should i just sacrifice the defense for the higher item level and bonuses?
yep
drg
yeah just go higher ilvl
its always higher ilvl is better til level 90
as a dps if you're getting hit you have much bigger issues
okay so, how do i stop my game from crashing without leaving an error message?
alright gotcha, thanks you two
does this happen to you when closing the game? if so that happens to me occasionally as well
oh wtf
i wouldn't know about that then, i'm sorry that sucks :[ hope you can get that resolved soon
Hi guys just a random question, if Endwalker is already out, why is the main menu still shadowbringers? If the answer is a bit spoiler, don't answer it 😅 I'm still level 50 and trying to finish ARR MSQ
it means you haven't purchased endwalker
main menu only changes when you register endwalker to your account
fkn game keeps crashing

what was the command again to check what level can I unlock specific jobs
its always just the expansion cap minus 20
except for HW which is just reach hw basically

Always at least 50 for anything that came after arr
what happen to your other character when you switch to standerd to entry?
you can't access them
which one
assuming same server, the top most character on the list is the one available
so if im switching tomorrow, i just need to bump the one that i want to use, on top?
For across the account as a whole (i.e more than 8 characters total), i believe its based on creation date but not sure on that one
Yes, keep in mind the only way to swap characters on the log in screen is to deleted the previous ones
oic, or resub in standard again?
mhm
unsure if i should stick this in here since its mainly about a piece of music. This one piece plays i think before endwalker but also during it. at one point during it has a piano sounding like its rising and falling in notes rapidly
if you can find a youtube video of when/where it plays, would be easier to id
I have a question about housing because my fc is currently looking for one. Are there any tools or websites that help with acquiring a house, for example that tell you when a plot is for sale?
can wait a few weeks for 6.1
afaik there is no such resource
it would be hell to maintain anyway cause there's no easy API to pull from
hm, I see, thanks for the answers
But yes, as woods says 6.1 is gonna introduce a new housing area
which means more available plots and very likely also people relocating their existing house
It'll be a chaotic mess but the chance of getting a house is probably also best then
i found it! its "From Below"
Auto demo is off indefinitely due to current historical events. Your only hope is someone manually demoing so yeah suck it up and wait til 6.1

So for ishgard housing its lottery individual / fc representative only? Is there first come first serve category?
best way to level up ?
just lottery
!faq altlvlguide
Basically people gonna spam alts for higher chance at a house ?
i mean they could if they wanted to but thats a lot of work for very small gains
Spamming X amount of alts look like to be the meta lol
which dungeon is the easiest with level 50 with the squadron?
it takes like 20 hours to get an alt able to buy a house
all for 1 extra vote in a sea of hundreds
also you need to have HW actually DONE
BOOSTO
you need to be 30 days member of that FC as well
i wanna say pharoh sirius?
so it makes it a bit harder to do with new alts
Also pretty sure due to new update if you have your alts on the same account you will only can get 1 since the others gets canceled and trying to get multiple accounts would be expensive
the new housing district, all going to be lottery??
I read it's half lottery half clicking wars, is there some changes?
no, they said that they could make plots/wards lottery or ffa
not that they would
basically going forward with the lottery system for all plots come 6.1, and then adjust as needed from there
is running nonstop dungeon roulette a viable option to lvl up jobs?
Anything that is currently on sale will be lottery probably
Or just all land added in 6.1
not worth running the roulette once you've gotten your daily bonus. AiN is not enough to make up for the potential level difference. Do the highest level dungeon that's not 50/60/70/80
wow means all OCE house will be lotteries fest!! 😹
nice
don't spam roulette....
!faq altlvlguide
just do each roulette once a day
thanks
get the bonus and done for the day
oh another question does chaos still have connection issues? i was dc'ed 3 times yesterday and was the only one affected while my internet was working perfectly fine, then for the next hours i didnt have any lag or dc
!status ragnarok
you can type !status <your server> in #kupo-bot-spam
cause it might not be a DC problem, but your specific server problem
Oh right i forgot people in dungeons can be from other servers
how do i get mimesis lux
do your HW Anima relic
i spam the lvl 90 dungeons (smileton normally) to farm the tomestone of astronomy's rather than roulletes. Is this ok? Any reason i should be doing roulletes instead? I'm a healer so queue times are not generally an issue.
i dont really understand the relics
!faq anima
i saw there was a quest for it but it seems a bit more complicated than that
Roulette once a day, for 5 days
i dont play every day
it is
expert roulette once a day gives 90 per, or you can do stuff like hunt trains and lvl 90 treasure maps for them too
what are poetics
other roulettes also give astronomy if you also doing it as max level
and what do they mean by beast tribe currency
so you also can try that, more fun, less spammy
!faq poetics
thanks
i think you might be a little too early to get that
gotta do msq to unlock them anyways
this just confused me more
beast tribes are daily questing areas that give currency and other stuff
I think this just shows you're way too early in the game for these to be introduced
then yeah dont worry about it
Anima weapon is lv60, poetics are unlocked at 50
plenty of time between then and now to figure out what they are
for battle currency, why does it say expires in march 29? what does this mean?
!reset
3 hours, 55 minutes, 33 seconds
9 hours, 55 minutes, 33 seconds
20 hours, 55 minutes, 33 seconds
20 hours, 55 minutes, 33 seconds
5 days, 14 hours, 55 minutes, 33 seconds
5 days, 8 hours, 55 minutes, 33 seconds
5 days, 1 hour, 55 minutes, 33 seconds
4 days, 20 hours, 55 minutes, 33 seconds
i read a little bit but it didnt say what they were or how to get them just listed a bunch of stuff
weekly reset is tomorrow @leaden ginkgo
so do we lose all tomestones for endwalker after reset? @modest igloo
so when it resets you can get 450 more tomes of astro
oh ok thx, i was worried if i didnt spend my tomestones after reset the EW tomestomes will be gone, thx for clarifying
yeah astro is capped to 450 per week
that sounds like a wow mechanic 
again, that stuff is locked by msq, so you cant get it even if your tried to
i thought esxpert was less than 50
once you unlock the quest itself it'll make more sense
its 90
cool
expert is 90 per day
40 per the roulette PLUS 50 per the dungeon
other roulette also gives astronomy
ill just do msq and come back to it
i thought the mimesis lux looked really cool but it seems really complicated to unlock
yeah, come back for glamour when you finish all MSQ or something
those are just cosmetics stuff
yep, relics are meant to be a grind
the more you unlock and gain more resources, the easier the process is later on
when your attacking an enemy what does the letter on the right of their name mean?
Nothing in particular
In your enemy list they're b
Enemies be a-z
Party members be 1-8
coolio, thank you
been trying to do the royal city alliance raid, is there an easier way to get an actual game going?
This deck follows rules. Why this error?
It doesn’t
But it allows 2 4* cards
You can have a 5 and a 4
Or 2 4 stars
2 4+ cards
Can people not wait longer than 60 seconds anymore?
Oh I see, thank you
that's an hour
It’s like 4-7 am in NA
You posted this twice in one minute
sorry my b
No it's not that popular but you'll have better luck around reset in 3ish hours
ok, thanks
4:37 but yeah, I see your point
you can always try to find an Insomnia FC
ooo that sounds right up my alley
thanks!
oh FC? i'm already in one oof
thanks tho
Wondering if there is a definition of what “tomestones” are? Is it a misspelling
Oh so stone book?
Ancient allagan sd cards
or occasionally phone
I see thanks
They're chock full of ancient and useful knowledge so rowena offers good shit for them
But why is it a “stone”?
because it's hard
Is it made of rock?
Because they're still ancient artifacts
And most eorzeans can't really comprehend what a computer is
But why is it referred to as a “stone”? It puzzles me
Tis a stone containing tomes, not hard to get
because it's a blocky hard thing
It's a rock containing knowledge
Ok xD won’t think too deep into this
Is it possible to do high end content with GND without double weaving? Or should I just avoid the job
if you don't double weave you will be at a fraction of your power
especially with GNB it will essentially mean you're either using continuation or pressing a defensive
which is a shit situation
No
Waaaaay too much of your dps missing there
And it adds up
Well thats unfortunate, playing at 200ms i clip every double weave
I mean you won't be parsing gray, cuz you probably won't be clearing
I'll propably switch to a less busy job, too bad I cant play the cool ones
my ping is about 20ms but i still clip double weaves on some jobs, does the fact that i play on a console matter?
No
if you're clipping double weave with low ping consistenly, you're trying to double weave in a single weave window
no im talking about double weaves that im not supposed to clip on low ping but that for some reason i do
and i can't tell why since my ping is decent
but i guess there isn't much i can do

What double weaves exactly
And do you have a particularly low framerate or an unstable connection?
Ping isn’t necessarily consistent all the time
And framerate is the other consideration that can affect this stuff
is it worth melding my gear at all or will 6.1 make the 580 crafted set useless ;-;
Savage gear will still be the top slot until 6.2
Crafted gear will be augmentable in 6.1
any recommended trust endgame dungeons to run via trust for optimum endgame tomestone farming + materia drops? thank you
ohh like how you could upgrade exarchic? but itll lose melds i think then ;-;
6.1 will make it easier to get gear above 580. Right now you can already get 590 gear for the limited tomestones. So I would not waste melds on 580 gear rn
There's only one trust dungeon that drops materia
The only lvl 90 trust dungeon is the story one
Current materia
sam on 2.14
just did the cmd ping thing on laptop and ping is 25ms with xiv servers so
idk
framerate is whatever framerate ps5 has
can u even double weave as sam without using 3rd party tool? o_o
of course
what's the bare minimum gcd for double weave again?
something along 2.10
i see
So not monks
is monk any good doe
about housing lottory, can you participate lottory in multiple plots at a time
no
cant do it as private buyer and fc representative?
It'd be too many tickets
no amnot
ive been living under rocks. So once submitted lottery, cant be withdrawn... I guess people wait until the very last day and pick plots with least participant or something
It’s still RNG, bigger odds to lose than to win
I can see that happening
all ishardian housing will be on lottery system ?
yep
i dont understand this
Not all wards will use the lottery system sometimes
the new 6.1 housing will be all lottery

question re: relocating houses:
If you relocate, do you need take down all your decoration and fixtures and stuff? (assuming relocating from Small to Small)
Everything is put into storage and it's temporarily doubled
If stuff still can't fit into the doubled sized storage you'll have to remove a few things
ahhhhh it's an automatic process?
Yes
ahhhh nice. tnx! 🙂
Shit in frames/tanks is still there in the storage as well
Would have been pissed if I lost my framed Ruby dragon
what day should (roughly) be released dsu ultimate?
Estimates for 6.1 are April 12th cuz live letter on the 1st
But there's no actual date for either thing
So if you come back here and try say I was wrong ill laugh
yeah i see ty
i accepted an elite clan mark bill on a board, where do i find this?
In the key items tab of your inventory

How do you open text log
On a cutscene
I meant to like, re-read what they said in a cutscene
Ty
Anyone know the name of the EW track that's a slow piano remix of ||Amaurot's theme||
Currently on a new game + for the first time, do i really need to use synced duty finder for the trials and dungeons or can i just PF it?
just unsynch it
Hey guys I think I noticed something about my logo/sprout when I checked my Free Company. Does this mean I'm uuuuhh .. growing? 😅
Thanks
nah i think thats just another version of sprout
iirc it means the sprout joined novice network
Ooohh yes! I joined a novice network last night
I bought the ff14 starter edition ($20) and wanted to give samurai a try but says it needs stormblood expansion. Is my only choice to buy the ff14 complete edition?I was thinking on buying the endwalker expansion but I dont see it includes stormblood exp
Endwalker includes it
oh cool thx
whats the fastest way to get the unidetified stuff for hw relics
Anyone here know a lot about gshade tinkering?
I'm trying to get adof to work while i'm not so zoomed in close to my character.
Poetics, running Gordias unsync'd, spare beast tribe tokens
would people even join me in gordias unsynced
Why cant I buy bozjan riding map
Says I cant carry more of that item
When I obly ever bought zadnor
Cant I buy both?
Will the free data center transfers only be for jp or for everyone?
Probably just jpn
I just downloaded the launcher through steam and I'm trying to play the free trial, but I keep getting this message
'This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired.'
I literally downloaded this sh1t today
Like
my god
I'm going through an extraordinary amount of effort in an attempt to play as a pyromaniac midget
You did make a new ff14 account for steam right
A new FFXIV/square account, yes.
Because if you’re trying to use a non steam account on it, that won’t work
I'm using my steam account
!faq mogstation
If the account status doesn’t say free trial(steam), it won’t work on steam
It doesn't. Why doesn't it
I specifically downloaded the free trial
on steam
game
please
no yeah it says account status: free trial
I see it here
no. it has to be "Free Trial (Steam)"
So I originally downloaded the game through the third party launcher. Game launched and I made my character, but when I tried to enter a world I got this error
Unable to create character config data
That’s not 3rd party, that’s the official launcher
whatever it is. I used that originally
Which is why you ain’t a steam account
Did you even try to mess with the files like we told you earlier
wth
That’s what we said the issue was back when you first asked.
If I cancel my sub do I lose my future veteran rewards eg if its 180 days, and i have 90 days left, does it go back to 180?
No
It’s total accumulated days
Aight thanks
Whenever you want, it’s not going anywhere
since it starts at 70 i'm not sure if it's important actions are between 60 and 70
like how whm can be very annoying until you get your instants
All jobs can function at all levels, doesn’t matter
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of doing this job as the first healer you pick? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Sages how to Sage properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usa...
Ty
this should probaby help
but i had a ton of instants at like 60
2-3 in 50 content
No job is unplayable at lower levels
Some do feel like ass tho
And some become pain to regress on
If I have a level 7 conjurer, and buy the level up package, will it work? I’ve always done it when I had the soul stone
Question for someone with a lot of eureka knowledge. I have nearly done Eureka weapon. If I plan on upgrading this after finishing BA, should I wait to upgrade it at the mnemeworks station? Or can I upgrade it now and my smoldering crystals wont be wasted?
It gives you lvl 80 WHM and completes the quests, no matter what
Thanks!
how do I get centurion seals? are these timegated or?
Do daily hunts, weekly b ranks, join hunt trains for A/S ranks
Do HW/SB hunts specifically
Arr a and S drop them too
how many do I get per hunt
Is there a way to lock UI elements like i can do with hotbars?
Depends
100 usually per S rank?
Not touching them in hud editor?
Also you can do Bluemage stuff for centurio seals too iirc?
Allied seals
Nothings movable outside the hud editor except the chat box
i guess it's not called UI? i mean the windows thingy... including loot windows and what not, they're movable aren't they?
right-click -> return to default position
or something to that effect
Dunno for console
do i have to redeem my steam code in the mog station manually?
Yes
for an expansion
.
the thing is i don't want to drag them, like the loot screen for example, i want to select something but the micro movement of my mouse keeps slightly moving the windows
thanks kat

smh they link the accounts to your steam account but cant even automatically detect an expansion purchase
😾
I don't remember the right-click menu exactly
You have to do that for all pc codes
Nothing to do with steam
i couldnt remember if i had to do it with stormblood
140 of which seal
clan cus HW give more
Arr hunts involve finding and killing world bosses
centurio seals
I don't think I can do sb yet
nah, in the pillar (or foundation), whatever the aetheryte reside
I was wondering because SB and ShB has hunt boards in both their respective hubs
don't recall if radz has a board either
tf i just dodged my own spell
howso
you mean a healing spell and you die?
no it literally said dodge when i cast a spell on myself
i see i need to have a shield normally it says no effect
oh, pepsis
pepsis
Yeah, it burns your shield status to do a heal
it's just weird that it says dodge instead of no effect
do I need to unlock arr hunts to unlock the hw hunts
How do I unlock Hunts?
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest
''Let the Hunt Begin'' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests
''Shadows Uncast and''
''Gilding the Bilious.'' This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard – Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest
''Let the Clan Hunt Begin'' from Aytienne. Follow-up quests are
''Better Bill Hunting'' from Eustacia,
''Top Marks'' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and
''Elite and Dangerous'' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB/EW Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all
quests with the words ''Veteran Clan Hunt'' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest
''Nuts to You'' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
EW Hunts: Go to Old Sharlayan at x:11.2, y:12.1 and complete the quest
''The Hunt for Specimens'' from the Diminutive Gleaner. Afterwards complete all quests from Northota at x:11.8, y:13.2.
It does
yup
as a 90 100%
60 can solo 60 A rank but it is tedious as hell, mostly because of the long duration, a 20-level gap or more is the comfort spot
All marks for bills are designed to be soloed
At the entry level gear for that level cap
Housing in general is coming to Ishgard in 6.1
Yes since this is a brand new system
any way to see my current hunt marks without going back to ishgard
other than the reccomendatiosn tab
Key items
Key items
Once you accepted the bill
Garuda ex for the unarmoured, o3 or lakshami ex for armoured
I need the unarmoured version first, right
No
They’re separate achievements
200-high level duties being the unarmoured version?
so I suppose that one makes more sense to do
do you think I could get 5 levels doing 200 garuda ex
I'm currently 60
no
You don’t get exp from 50 content
I see
Besides, o3 is lv70
is there any mods or any way I can get my male drk to do the fem weapon pose
i dont recall there being any off the top of my head
you cant join a fc on another server with world visit right?
nope
can only join FCs on your home server
okay was making sure because everyone keeps saying server doesnt matter with world visit 🙃
i mean...you can probalby find an FC for anything u want on any server
it really doesnt matter for new players
they would be largely correct
FCs are mostly social only
anything you want to do, like raids/dungeons/parties/events/whatever can be done cross server
most FCs rarely, if ever, raid together
server doesn't matter in that you can still play with other people
the only things server matters for are fcs and weddings
housing too, I suppose
why are weddings world only anyways?
the devs said so
did se say anything on the matter
it sucks but I usually just create an alt on the server
sure, I'm wearing basic bitch level 1 stuff but I still got to be in the wedding
that's how I attended my EU friend's wedding
just get them to get you the best man's set
ye thats what i ended up doing, but it seems like that would be a rather easy fix for them to do idk im just salty i dont have the wedding moogle on my main
transfer home world 4head
and asking random wedding goers if you can tag along
the most popular nights for weddings tend to be the weekends (and friday)
or idk shout in limsa for a wedding

so for this lottery for housing, can one enter like, for several houses?
Think alliance raids will be out soon, anyone know how you normaly gain the upgrade mats for tomes from there?
It's all detailed in the post about it
By trading in the automatically given token you get by clearing it once a week
will it upgrade both left and right side?
uh
You buy the armour or accessory upgrade with it
twine is left coating is right
Weapon upgrade comes later
you can get both but both are the same price
ah so you trade it for the mats, got ya
weapon upgrade 
I already have the 600 weapon
yeah I read through the post but was still confused, since I didn't see mentioned that you only got one per round? a little frustrating but it is what it is
≪Entry Requirements≫
Characters who fulfill the requirements below are eligible to submit one lottery entry per lottery period
It's mentioned
why does it feel hard to find friends in game :// my friends list is p much dead and my fc never really interacts
it'd prob because you aren't really that social
as for the fc thing that's just an fc issue
honestly I'd recommend like limsa or something for social interaction
Finding a good FC is a great first step to getting friends in FFXIV
Also gotta keep in mind that friends won't magically just appear, you gotta put yourself out there
ended up joining a bigger fc x-x
Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better
Should i join a fellowship as a f2p?
fellowships suck
basically just a message board
most people completely forget they exist, or are completely unaware they exist
Oh so they're not worth joining?
Hey, so, a housing question that i cant either find or read in the post from SE. As an FC Director i want to get a new Ishgard house, so i read that i need to enter the lottery for a plot i want. For say all large plots in a ward, are they part of the lottery at the same time? For instance, i enter for plot 1 which is a large, but at same time plots 2 to 10 are the other larges, if i fail at Plot 1 have i then lost the chance to enter for the other large plots?
You can only enter 1 lottery at a time, but fc members can also put in a bid as well for the fc
Ah, ok, but we would have to commit the full cost for each plot we enter? So could get quite expensive! if we did that, and say we won 3 out of the 10, if we decline 2, is it a full refund or 50% like you get if u dont claim?
You get all your money back if you don’t win
I read that part, but if diff members are doing it and we wont 3, just wondering what the refund is then, as we cant have 3 FC plots
50% if you don't claim, 100% refund if you don't win
I see, so thats stupidly expensive if we got lucky and entered 10 and win 3 or whatever. Dayum
and all plots are run at the same time too then?
I highly doubt that would happen
Can multiple FC members really enter the lottery for an FC house at the same time? Seems really broken if that's the case.
i mean enter for a different house, so we have more chance of winning
I doubt that is allowed. Personal entries are definitely only one at a time.
I know, but I mean that you're all entering the lottery to buy an FC House, not a personal house.
It is likely still one per FC. I don't think we have confirmation one way or another.
But its plot specific, and if we want to make sure we get one, it could get so costly to enter multiple plots
because if i enter 1, dont win, and i cant enter more than one, we have no chance of getting a house, which seems rather crap
Yeah, that is for sure, which is meh, sucks but id rather have a house than not. I thought they might stagger the plots or something, so if you fail one you can enter the next etc
There will be more plots available as people relocate
Sure, but you still have people with 999,999,999 gil on multiple retainers, and there's most likely several people like that in one FC. That's why I'm saying it's broken if you can have multiple entries for the same FC.
People may not claim the plot within the first lottery period
Plus all the relocations
And all other fcs have the same right
It helps stop smaller 1 player fcs holding all the plots
They still can’t try to get more than one house
I hope they have logic somewhere so that if you enter the lottery but fail, there is still chances to get another plot somewhere, if not, that seriously sucks
Yes, but it's making it unfair for people who just want a personal house, or are certain plots FC specific?
Well that helps then
They have tried to make this as fair as possible while counteracting any bots, multiple accounts and such
It's going to be a shitshow when it first comes into the game, but it'll be a really fair system once all the plots are taken and you start seeing plots slowly become available
How do you meet ppl tho? Most of the time its just ppl in duty roulette or pf
I guess we wont know all details, need to know how they are going to run the plots by lottery, if they do all at the same time, it's gonna suck because unless you got loads of gil in the fc and multiple members, you really get 1 chance at a range of plots, fail that, boned.
There are social gathering locations (like major cities, fc houses and events, cool spots in the world), or run into people that do the same things you do (gathering, crafting, exploring, or the group content you mention)
The lottery period is for every plot and runs when it opens
Which, since all ishgard is open at once it's all immediate
They might stagger release of wards, maybe. I am sure we will get some more info this week.
≪Treatment of Emptied Plots≫
Plots that are emptied during the lottery period will be marked as currently unavailable, and will become available for purchase during the next lottery period.
Any plots opened during lottery will be available in the next period
So it's all ran at once
so running extreme unsyncs and im on console and notice people have waymarks pre set out....how do you do that and is it doable on console?
They have waymarks saved in the waymark menu
Click the arrow In the waymark menu, you can save 5 presets
ah so id have to set them myself in order to save them cant make them up
Or save them after someone else has placed them
you can just save someone else's waymarks as your own
how do I make it so my character isn't repeating my last action in gpose
Hey so the menphina earring that some people got when EW came out. Is that the best earning person to wear up untill lvl 80 and all other earrings are just glam. Is that all correct?
yes
What is so special about aetherial rarity?
if you have menphina's earring then you don't need any other earring up till 80
It has completely random stats
do /sit and then stand back up before going into gpose
For pink items

they give less exp
Basically any dungeon that gives tomes directly gives shit xp
gubal time.
You always do aurum/gubal/Abania/Mt gulg to push you into the next level brackets
also roulettes 
Which announcement is the text "You sense the presence of a powerful mark" under chat settings
Sounds about right, I'll see if that works. I've been trying everything else related
Powerful mark message is for S Rank spawns in your zone, yes.
they meant what the actual message appeared in and counted as
how do you slot materia into your gear? (is that the right way to say it? ;;) is it essentially buffing the gear you have?
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 7 and 8 Materia require an item level of 420 while Tiers 9 and 10 require an item level of 560.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
Oh lol. I think that’s a system message.
I mean I have my echo and system dif colors and s rank shows as echo so idk
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
how do you unlockkc these? i already done msq but no speed
@old willow you don't get speed for free any more
Riding maps
Have to buy with fate currwncy
Useless because flight still exists
And vendor doesn't unlock that til you're level 1
how do you level the venders
Just get flight dude
Do fates
im mining alot in one of the zone, so sometimes aiming towards the sky takes longer time
I just hold jump to ascend and use the sheathe button to descend
You only need to jump to fly
I have it double jump because I like jumping on some mounts
Plus flying is just faster flat out
Now if only they'd give us mount speed in eureka...
and sometimes i descend too early so i had to drag my mount feet for a while cuz taking flight will takes longer. And when you are mining, it will just adds up
Then get to work on your fates
So tldr get gold medals in six fates in a zone to unlock the mount speed upgrade from bicolor gem vendor in that zone
does the fates has to be different?
Any fate
Doesn’t matter which. Just has to be six in the same zone
Have you even learned teleport
thank you very much! i truly appreciate it.
how does one do that
By attuning to aetherytes
Which is the first thing you should be doing when you get to literally any zone
Open the teleport list and just go from there
apparently attuning to a 3rd one did it
Oh wait this is one of those weird oversight things isn’t it. I think I remember hearing about this. Where it doesn’t unlock teleport until you attune outside a city or something.
But yeah it sounds like you figured it out so
Most people would’ve done that pre-Satasha just saying
Does anyone have a good beginners guide for a new player (on PS5)?
!faq newplayertips
Better
Some told me that I can get the Peripheral Synthesis (blue mage skill) in "nm" in Alphascape V3.0. Does it mean normal?
Yes
Could I buy someone’s house (if they were willing) or do I need to wait until it goes magically on a random day 🤔
you cant transfer ownership of personal houses afaik
No
Look up how to bind L3 to Sprint, set resolution to WQHD (4K framerate is pretty unstable), get accustomed to expanded crossbars once that’s relevant (probably level 40-50 by the time you’ll need the extra action spaces), and don’t be afraid to tweak every setting over time - it’s taken me hundreds of hours of playtime to get my UI just right and I still find ways I want to change it over time
Also definitely look into targeting (hard targeting vs. soft targeting especially as a healer, as well as R2 + R1/L1 to cycle targets) since it’s pretty fussy without it. Not as big a deal if you’re playing a tank but critical for healer or DPS
Plenty of other tips for beginners, a lot covered by the guide above, but those are ones I’d recommend for playing on console
You can also just hook a keyboard and mouse up to your console for optimal control 😛
do you get a chest for a personal house?
so those RMT ers use FC to transfer houses? And with the new update, nothing goes through without lottery right?
i mean you just need a keyboard for typing
or is that only for GC
why is it that when im in dungeon, i sometimes hear the sound of the duty finder popup?
yes and im pretty sure the lottery thing is only in ishgard first
LB
either your limit break, your job gauge, or your proc
That's the Limit Break bar filling up to a useable level.
either of these 3 to remind you to do something about your skill
proc and job gauge is a different sound
wym a chest
no the lottory should apply to all
storage chests
there is furniture storage for houses yes
but only furniture goes in there
not even floors and wallpapers and lights go in there
yeah strangely I use my retainer to store my housing stuffs lol
Is there any reason why people wont use a lb3?
saving it for healer LB usually
healer/tank LB is useful in niche very important cases
then probably they are on their burst window and can't be bothered to use LB or just not used to it
Hmmm okay
Just to clarify ... the new housing in Ishgard has the lottery system and first comes first served right ? or are all houses lottery there ?
like if I'm on my TA window, can't be bothered to use lb 😹
all house will be lottery yeah
From 6.1 forward, all plots will be lottery
until later notice, all houses will be lottery
they can adjust later, depending on need
they reserve the right to toggle between the two modes
thats so weird o.O
It's more fair if it's all lottery first
why? everyone has equal opportunity
it's to save players from themselves
Just leave the first comes first served option from the patch then 😄
nolifing clicking on a plaque
Nah
The patch note is informing that both systems exist
And stating that on release all will be lottery
how?
it will allow you to pick it up if you have other job at 65+
you just can't turn it in
but not turn in
So i need to give 60 peeps 60mil for a big house to have a chance i guess ;s
How hard in terms of effort/time is getting Hyperconductive Rhongomiant
Or Longinus Zeta
Zeta is 100% worse, the other is just a poetics farm
Relics are less of a priority
upgrade your gear
afaik you don't pay full price to enter lottery...
yes you do
you pay full price
😮
if you dont win, 100% returned
you need to have the full price of the plot to enter the lottery
if you win but dont claim, half returned
ic ic, so you can't really cheat your way out buying it for FC lol
It has to be a collective individual effort from each member
anima weapon are free for example for each class if you never spend poetics you get from leveling a new class with roulette..
each anima will requires around 15k +- poetics
Hmmm i dont really understand relics that much yet
WOW
less if you do alternative methods of obtaining some parts
like beast tribe tokens and gc seals for some parts
15k poetics is 30 days of doing msq roulette. it gives 500-600 poetics a day, so if you watch something on second monitor and do that you'll be there in no time. plus it gives good leveling exp
Ive been playing since the end of january so 30 days seems like a lot hahaha
But i only want Hyperconductive so is not that much right
Thanks
it's only about 7750 poetics if you don't use alternative sources
Its still right tho that i can have multiple people from the FC buy a entry for the plot tho right ? or did that get changed ;o
if you want the replica version, you'll need to finish the umbrite part I reckon
to get the replica hyperconductive
or yeah, you could just apply glamour manually everytime
you can just hold on to the actual relic
sure it doesnt fit into th glamour dresser for some absurd reason
yeah, those can't be put into the dresser
but you can still use it as glamour source
just need to carry it everytime
well how often do you change weapons
It’s after the aether oil quest according to a site
a minute out of your way wont kill you
uhm chaos server keeps kicking me out while my connection is stable and now i got this
should i be worried its on my side or just server being unstable?
usually when it's congested, it shows like that 🤔
it's EU peak time afterall
which server?
Omega
probably a hunt currently ongoing in Omega and people from other servers in Chaos are jumping in
but yeah It shouldn't kick you out of the game
its just in the last 2 days i've been disconnected at least 10 times
which never happened in my first month of playing
yeah I have no idea, since I'm on Light and have no problem or whatsoever
wait till someone from omega who lurk here answer your question
You can still log on, you just can’t mess with your character on the main menu or anything
no im not worried about that login scree but the more frequent dc are what worries me its just the first time i see that screen in a while

regarding gardening, is there anything detrimental that happens if you let it get to the "puprle haze seen better days" stage? or can u just water it again and itll be fine?
At long as you tend to it before they die, you'll be fine.
cool
Because, yeah, that purple stuff means the plants are close to dying.
Hello so I played ff14 around a year ago, but now when I launch the game from steam again it is asking me if I want to bind my acount again even though I did before
when I check mog station
You have to do it again. They made some changes to steam linking recently
so I just link back to the same account?
^ For additional security yeah
Yea
also while im here, does endwalker come with sub time
my redmage is 59 with 50% exp, whats the better option to go for between those: level 50/60/70/80 roulette, leveling roulette or m,ain scenario roulette?
no
expansions never come with game time
MSQ is best, but takes the most time. leveling is good. 5060 sucks for xp
what happns if you tie your old account to a new steam
im still going to
you could run MSQ, leveling, alli raid, and frontline and youd get the bulk of the roulette xp for the day
I'm not sure if you can? I don't know I'm not on Steam 😅
i have no idea since I just conected it to my old account
excited to get back into the game
already did trial and aliance raid. Im just wondering if msq is enough for the remaining 50%
castrum is typicall 40-50%? prae is usualy close to a level
what is end walker collectors edition?
k thx

how long does it take to level to cap
first job or alt job?
first job takes 300h+ since you have to play through the main story (it's good, don't rush it)
any subsequent job is much faster and can be done in a week if you no life it
After your first job, you have many more exp sources for the others
why does supply and provisioning tell me no more deliveries are being accepted
I haven't done any
Have you unlocked any crafters/gatherers
Remember this is 10 years of content
You can't start Eureka weapons until 70 right, so if I wanted both a weapon and to level a class should I skip eureka until then?
Eureka doesn't give you job exp
and it sync'd you down to ilvl 300
and yeah, you can't start Eureka unless you finished with SB MSQ and unlocked the respective blue quest
the eureka weapon stats are functionally useless anywhere that isn't inside eureka
so you'd only be getting a weapon for glam
and also if you wanted to tryhard in baldesion arsenal, which isn't necessary
It's a huge grind hehe
So... Decided to go back and do the final skybuilder tools quest at level 90, just so I could finish the story...
firstly, if you want to get to it casually, I would just recommend get in, finish the Eureka challenge log and get out
And I still can't get the oddly delicate leather anywhere near full HQ x.x
progress through the quests, unlock more areas, finished the weapon
you'll get there eventually, but it's a very long process to get a Eureka weapon
Might not be using the best macro, granted...
But Christ, I'm not even close.
Anyone know a decent macro for the final skybuilder thing? ~.~
I have no idea on doh savage, can look up this guide :/ sorry https://guides.ffxivteamcraft.com/guide/crafting-gathering-relic-guide
or if that doesn't help, can head to #doh-dol-lounge
oh that's smart, the weeklies help with the weapons?
nope, but it helps you progress through Eureka
which also helps you upgrade your weapon
Well fuck... Apparently they can't be macro'd.
Hello, i've found this cute glam and im wondering if anyone have any ideas on what to use instead of mogstation items https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/136993/whimsy-pixie
And I'm a complete and total spaz when it comes to complicated crafting and making the right calls. x.x
cause one of the req is to farm some fate, and each fate will give you elemental exp
yeah expert crafting is different hehe
Whelp... Guess I'm just never gonna see how that skybuilder tool story ends then x.x
Where is that, exactly?
pick doh-dol
also other thing that you are interested in
you have too few roles to unlock more channels
it doesn't really matter as long as you keep it on cooldown
Typically 8k
lucid restores about 3500 ish MP
there are times I've used it prepull in heavy MP dump builds
how's Drk in Eureka?
they're fine
I assume Smn is a good choice?
it doesn't matter what class you play for eureka
you can switch whenever you want
it's not like elemental exp is split
you don't even have to play as the class you want the weapon for
Thank you for these!!
No problem! FFXIV is surprisingly robust on a controller, you’re in for a treat. Enjoy!
what's the current maximum ilvl?
600 with 605 weapon
is there any way to display more than 5 quests at a time on the map?
No

does SAMs Kaiten increase the dot damage of higanbana?
(And Tenka for AoE)
tyty
My Eorzean time in game is different than all the websites such as ffxivclock.com and garlandtools.org so I can't use them to find ephemeral nodes. What is ya'lls current ET in game? Mine is 10:00 AM
yea it's 10am
ET is all the same :/
ty, what does https://www.ffxivclock.com/ say for you?
Web site created using create-react-app
same thing lol
across all DC and server
eorzea time is the same across all dcs
Does anyone know which NPC does exchange for EW gear sets?
you can use this https://ffxivteamcraft.com/alarms
hmmmm, strange
also there's a setting in game to show eorzea time
you need to enable that
you might mistaken it with your local (your system) / server time (gmt+0)
in fact, enable all 3, eorzea time, local time and server time
radz, near the aetheryte there are two hallways
the southern hallway is raid equipment
i guess it's more east and west than north and south
the eastern hallway is crafter/gatherer gear
western is raid gear
so, why are archers the ideal squadron members for dps?
That NPC named Cihanti?
have no idea, people say they deal more DPS
because squadron AI is awful and archers actually use AoE
Thank you. I had to re-sync my computer's clock and it looks good now. 🙂
just keep going..
melee DPS are too stupid to be in melee range to do damage (and don't have AoE)
till you see the pandemonium token bla bla
what role should I be when doing missions
idk how the arcanist AI works anymore with the arcanist remake
it doesn't matter, depends what you want to level
how do i reset striking dummy emnity with ps4 controller
