ye
reset enmity
given that squadron still uses old skills
ty ty
previously the arcanist squadron mate was good because carbuncle would act on its own and do spells
if that's still the case then arcanist is also a good squadron DPS
all other DPS succ
but main reason to use acn tbh is as a back up healer and the fact they dont have to get into melee to do dmg
archers are also strong, not only because they have aoe, but because their barrage cds are lower than player's
so they just deal more dmg in general, don't have to worry about getting into melee etc
you can also fully afk squadrons if you wanted to
how about thaumtargue? as a player they get their aoe also early
good braindead leveling option between 20-50
fire 2
no, squadron members are too stupid to stand still and cast
can they aoe too?
and how do i target quickly with controller?
Ye, thms have the issue of requiring cast times
also change target setting to cone instead of ignore depth
if you want target party member
<3
if you play DPS you can just afk the squadron dungeon and sic your teammates on trash packs one at a time
as tank, you can AoE a pack like 3 times and then afk
when you are a battle mode, just filter your targeting to enemy only
can't quite AFK on healer since you have to cast a heal every couple seconds
it will prevent you selecting your party member with left and right dpad which is sometimes a grave mistake cause you just use up/down dpad
oh really?
I thought squadron is like really tanky lol
they will never die
they have inflated health and defensives depending on what attributes you choose to set for them
and once they die, you can res them straight away from far away while you just use command button to use your squadron as meat shield
but they will absolutely die if you don't heal them
instead of restarting from the beginning
most people just max out offensive traits to speed up the dungeon though
they're still decently tanky but they aren't smart enough to pull more than 1 pack
can't dps if die lol
the AI healer doesn't heal until the tank is like 10% HP
want to save 20 secs, lost 3 mins walking back from the beginning
i mean, you're gonna be stuck with single pulls anyway regardless of stats
because ai healer stoopid
making your tank tankier doesn't make the dungeon go any faster
and if you choose to play healer then the stats on the tank don't matter
may as well go for more damage
is there any way to disable ally targeting with cone target
this is my setting
I forgot which is the one that allow you to select duty specific allied NPC
ah okay so i should prob set weapon draw to a keybind
you might still want to enable that since a lot of MSQ and Job Quest requires you to assist ally NPC
nope
you sheath by pressing L1+R1? or is it L2+R2 I forgot cause muscle memory -_-
you don't need keyboard at all, only use keyboard to chat
ahh that worked ty
I see, so It's better with 2 archers?
or Arcanist attack with ruin2?
rip mine has all unique classes and race 👀
if you had to do command squadrons and had to play tank or healer
then yes two archers is the "best DPS"
archer+ arcanist is like a safety net
ah ok
since arcanist can be a sort of back up healer if the squadron AI is being particularly stupid
yeah I'll do that, if it's for command mission (to unlock the push up emote), I just play as a healer hehe
outside of those two DPS though all the others suck
is there a place to go for blu mage savages (the morbol mount requirements)?

Just curious, I know its only meant for raiding content like savage and ultimate's but how big of a power boost does materia give your character?
Fully melded is probably like a few percent
small, but no reason to not have them melded if you are doing ex/sav/ult
Not super big but free extra stats
and some specific stats like sks/sps
it's easier to meld them more sps/sks materia
ahh ok thanks for the info you two.
Excuse me. I have a issue and I don’t know what could be the problem. So I’m on ps4 and whenever I do the level 85 endwalker dunegon I always lag in there but any other dungeon I don’t lag. Why is that happening
I did it on my ps4 and it will do that bc it’s a bug in the game
I never really had an issue with it
Maybe due to all the moving parts in the background or whatever
So it’s only on PS4?
No most ps4s
good dps class magic in ff14
All of them
!faq meta
is xivcombo looked down upon?
I mean you're making the game easier and significantly more boring for you
yea, im just trying to find a way to play while i recover from hand injury
Plus it means you're fucked anytime a patch happens and breaks plugins
popoto
They're both races.
Is this an actual question we can help you with, or are you just crowdsourcing your character creation process?
: p srry
Will old housing wards be in a lottery system once their plots are emptied out? How do you get a non ishgardian house post 6.1?
Methods of Purchasing Land
Depending on the housing ward, land may be purchased on a first-come, first-served basis, or by lottery.
At the release of Patch 6.1, all land available for purchase will be subject to the lottery system.
To be frank, yes
But if it’s for a hand injury I think people would find that reasonable
just curious but does changing your race effect race stats using Phial of Fantasia
so was giving controller a try
Race stats are not relevant.
race stats mean nothing
Yes
by like 1-3
yeah ik it does not matter but I was just curious
Where the Heart is (The Goblet), how on earth am I supposed to travel to the place if my only option is to view lots and not enter them?
the entrance is outside of the exit to western thanalan
You select a ward
you choose a ward and walk in
It says "Go to Specific Ward"
Giant enter button in the corner
hit select, to go to a ward
So I click that, and I get a list of wards I can't go into
it doesn't matter what ward to go to
is black mage a fine class for your first class?
k thx
!faq meta
This game doesn't really have things like "this class is designed to be highly complex and is recommended for more experienced players" type of nonsense.
This guide seeks to teach new Black Mages how to Black Mage 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 usage. Endgame is a long way away and there's lots to learn along the way. Start slow and work your way up one skill at a t...
yeah, easy if you ever get lost
just go back to this video and check which part are you on 😹
Ah, I read that but I thought it was only referring to empyerean housing. Thansk for the clarification!
what content in this game is challenging? im a new player still goin thru msqs
also what do u get out of doing it
Msq is the casual stuff that slowly teaches you about the nasty shit you’ll see later
glamours, better gears, vanity items are the reward i guess
Extremes give good weapons that are usually abit better than the current tome stuff (rarely mounts, bardings and mats to make glowing versions of the weapon when theyre eventually added), savage gives the best gear available for the gear tier, ultimates give extra shiny weapon and title that not many people will have
is there hard stuff i can do now? im doing post hw now
Coils and EXs
Arr and hw extreme and up content
All eras have their own extremes, savage raids
Ofc no one actually does them synced outside of very small communities
Cause there's no reason to do them synced
Unless you want Morbol, 0 reasons to sync ever
How are they doing their chats like this?
how much gil does it cost to level doh? is the level cap for it your highest job?
it could be 0 if you level all doh jobs together and gather your own shit
With ishgard restoration, I made profit
Thanks!
Passive
passive monster
thanks
Any blue icon mobs are passive, the specific icon shape is unimportant
what does the letters next to mobs name mean
just to identify identical monsters
if there area 2 same monsters, first will have A and the second will have B and so on
It's the classic old school rpg targeting designation so you can tell same name mobs apart
Think like dragon quest still uses it
Old FFs did it too
RPGs in general do it
in p3s, adds actually loop around the alphabet after enough pulls
would it make sense to just buy the stuff needed for supply and provision
If you're lazy and don't want to make it
If you wanna lose money, sure
so you'll have Phoenix Y Z A B kek
how much could it possibly cost
Gil is the lazy way to do anything
I got a question iv been thinking of trying to get into ff14 but idk how much the subscription is
if it gives me 1 million xp
Varies on the item
average or range?
Also gotta get HQ for the big exp
!faq subprice
Again it varies
As it can be literally anything you can make that's close to your level range
just having a level 1 doh/dol unlocks supply and provision?
Thank you
Whats the difference between pure and barrier healer 🤔
a pure healer is specifically attempting to restore as much hp as possible
a barrier healer is specifically attempting to reduce the amount of damage a target takes by increasing their hp with a shield
Don’t forget to dps
Barrier healers have more reliable access to Shields
While pure healers have more reliable access to raw hp healing
shields are considered first in damage calculation before real hp
so a tank with a 20% shield, effectively has 20% more hp
and thus, when they take damage from a tank buster, you are reducing the amount of real hp it would inflict
though don't take that the wrong way, all healers are capable of providing shields and restoring hp
whats a good na server for pve casual?
Content is matched cross-server within the same datacentre, and soon travelling between datacentres in the same region will also be possible
is black mage beginer friendlyt?
you already asked that, and we told you yes
Just learn what mobility tools you have and you'll be fine
you have hundreds of hours of story to get comfy in numerous classes
what is na legacy?
Just means a very old server for most people nowadays
but even then it doesn't mean that they're necessarily bigger/biggest for their datacenter
how much exp% does mentor/sprout bonus give
20% up to lvl 20, so it doesn't even matter that much
oh neat

the max level for the bonus is like 80 now?
i'd have to double check the patch notes
but it's pretty good now
is there a way to make the autorun with ps4 controller work differently than default?
AFAIK, no
you might be able to attach it to a different button in the controller settings of system config, but it will always work as "run directly forwards"
does any job have freeform movement abilities that can traverse terrain like warrior leap in wow
i meant moreso the way it moves left and right
Dancer, dragoon and ninja all have skills that let them move without needing a target
Dancer is just a dash in the direction you're facing with 3 charges
Dragoon dashes you backwards
Ninja dashes you to a location you want in range via the ground target selection
very very helpful
i appreciate u answering mine and other's questions, you are a blessing to the community
if you haven't played yet id add that traversal movement isn't as useful in this game as it was in wow
i just hate small inclines i cant quite jump over
yeah those won't help with that
I don't know if there are any gap closers that raise you
You still won't go over them
they only go forward
All mobility skills dashes you along the ground
the animation is the only thing that goes up
even the ninja one?
then whats the point 
There isn't as much as a need for vertical mobility outside of mounts in this game
Reaper also has a long forward dash that doesn’t need a target
Verticality basically doesn't exist
Bosses are instanced
Outside of terrian
And there isn't terrain in bosses like how it is in WoW
yeah when im out doing shit and i cant fly i want to be able to not have to take a 5m detour around a mountain
too bad
^
cringe
use map
Flying unlocks super easily
yeah doesnt take long at all
And there aren’t really going to be many locations where the thing you described is gonna feel like a problem anyway
Navigating areas is pretty straightforward
it feels like a problem every other minute in every area ive leveled in lmao
im used to just shadowstepping onto cliffs
Use your map
and your eyes
i dont want to 
or, as already stated, you could get flying to resolve that issue.
being where you arent meant to be is like the entire point of exploration, im sure i can fenagle anything that gives me a forward dash into what im looking for
thanks
you can't
there are invisible walls everywhere, that's not really possible to the degree it is in wow.
i cant dash-glide from one incline to another where i cant jump from ground level
the movement abilities don't increase your Y axis
they all slide along the ground
even drg jumps
so you can't use them to go vertical
and nin warp
so theyll slam me to the ground if used off a cliff
yes
yes
If it even let's you go off it
no fall damage tho
the only thing that increases your verticality is jumping and flying
Completely impossible
Out of bounds stuff is very rare
the devs are extremely thorough in making sure you will NOT be in places youre not supposed to be
except bots who just clip through the ground in limsa
I've been getting some massive sending/receiving issues these last two days.. anyone else?
I just ran and internet test is the only reason I asked.

If I am unable to dual weave one specific ability, is it better to still do it and clip my GCD a little bit or delay this ability a bit (but effectively losing two dual weaves for single ones in process)
better to single weave
DRK Salted Earth if that matters, for some reason its animation messes with me 😖
Clipping gcd is almost never a gain
Okie thanks!
ARR end spoiler
||Why do the final 2 dungeons take so little time? All the bosses just die instantly lol||
It's mainly gap closers that are harder to double weave due to the motion
because they were intented to be done at like ilv40/45 ish
whereas most people are in i120
OH LOL
or sync'd to i120
Remember 2 years of content happened in ARR, gear got better

How does that work?
The faq I linked tells you
I ran a tracert <ip>, and the ff14 server is th eonly one with high ms.
Oh I restarted my computer, and router must of missed it.
Unless it's high jump
cause wack
ive heard monk has some odd stuff where clipping is worth?
are you able to do msq roulettes multiple times for xp?
mnk has/had some cursed optimization yes
its not worth repeatedly doing a roulette for exp
Adventurer in need does not make up for the level difference like the daily bonus does
Roulettes basically give nothing on repeat runs
No filler Sam 
No
okay, thank you. i suppose just doing regular quests will be the way to gain more xp?
if u want to level, spam the highest non-50607080 dungeon u can
yellow quests are negligible xp
!faq altlvlguide
Nope
Well msq is the way to 90 for the first time
Yellow quests don’t give that much exp
there's nothing in #lodestone-news-na
i see. thank you.
Mmm I keep getting kicked out from the game every 3/4 min or 20/30min and the error I receive is always 10105 is there any problems with servers? I was even on PoTD solo, crashed on boss floor 160 and filed for this error I’m a lil upset😠
after arr is just msq enough to hit 90? wondering if i can use roulettes on other classes instead of my main class
Yeah. Just doing the msq is enough to get you there
ooo sick thank you
DoH's 70-80 quests is on Crystarium right?
Thank you!
I have main scenario unlocked for the poetics, how do I unlock the other 3 roulettes
The only other ones you could have at this point is frontline or guildhests
youll start getting hard trials in post arr
which will unlock the trials roulette after a few
Guildhests are useless, frontline is from your GC and is just PvP
what about getting alliance and normal raid?
doing new content gives 75-100 plus whatever the instance drops
you only farm poetics if you really really really want something, otherwise you just wing it
my jewelry current is doo doo
you'll get better accessories from msq
if you still have msq to do, just focus on that. there's no reason to go out of your way to farm poetics
What's the optimal time for automaton queen now? 50 gauge, or 100?
!faq poetics
#kupo-bot-spam for personal use
what poetics gear should I buy first
In buff windows
theres only 1 set that matters at each interval of 10
for 50 its augmented ironworks
well, yea, but i just mean in general
weapon > chest/pants > helm/gloves/boots > accessories
Always weapon first
Well in general
In buff windows
That's about it.
However many battery you got, that's how much you dump on queen afaik
in dungeons, build queen in trash, then if theres no raid buffs just dump as many as possible into a boss
Of course not
i'm trying to use a fantasia and it instructed me to remove all my gear, but i'm unable to remove my weapon and soul crystal. am i doing something incorrectly?
1 role per job
1 role per job
don't need to remove either of those
Nah
its just everything else, to ensure you're not wearing something you can't after using a fantasia
thank you!
sad
🤷♂️
is that a reaper in your banner or war?
Reaper
looks cool!

i need to see that
When will the endwalker new game+ come out?
6.1
can a LB attack miss if the boss goes into transition?
i reckon magic ranged can miss since it's untargeted
It snaps on cast end iirc
wouldnt melee and phys ranged have their casts canceled if it disappeared midcast?
iirc depends on how far into the cast it is
Do people continue doing the savage raids after they clear them? What’s the point if so?
Do you mean clear them ever, or clear them for the week?
for gear
Usually savages are cleared weekly again for gear
Practice.
because you're unlikely to get all the gear you need in that one run each
What do you need better gear for if you just beat the hardest bosses?
next tier
also mount
Can you pug all the savage bosses?
yes
or gearing another class
Can you pug ultimates
technically yes

there are communities for finding ulti groups
but its not really like pugging savage, where you just look for an open pf
Realistically, the answer would be the same answer to why anyone plays any game a second time if they've already beaten it once.
They want to.
Some people want the best gear available, for their main or possibly alternate classes. Some people want the fastest kill time or the best performance out of everyone doing it. Some people just enjoy that difficulty level.
What master recipe and what class do I need to be able to craft my own Exarchic Armor. And yes I know it’s old content so it’s not gonna be that useful but I just wanna be able to craft my own stuff :3
Oki thank you
24 man raids give more exp than 4man dungeons/trials right? if non duty roullete
queueing specifically for 24mans? no
I see, thanks!
Cap content doesn’t give good exp on its own
so those between cap contents, like lv69/lv79 gives more exp ?
Thank you very much!!
whats best to do with custom deliveries, crafting or gathering in term of scrips
question : where can I advertise help? been PF for 30 minutes and no one is doing alphascape 3.0 normal
it's in the raid roulette, queue and wait, just not now when it's 3am on a work day for most of your datacenter's population
try around daily reset
It's midnight ish on a tuesday
In your neck of the woods
It's between 1 and 4 AM weekday for most of the NA players who have work in the morning
And or some form of education
in sent letter history, do these indicate whether a friend has reads your moogle mail?
or do they indicate something else, like whether you sent it as a 'reply'
dumb question, whats the max item level?
600?
gotcha ty
Itll increase again come 6.2?
Will go up to 630/635 weapon in patch 6.2
When the new raid tier is released
do i use my square enix login to log in to the ffxiv cause its not working
ur mogstation login
ah thats right i forgot this game has like 10 different log ins
is ranged limit break damage shared across all the mobs?
has to be no, right?
it does its full potency to all mobs in the range, yes
i mean like
it does (x) damage and is split across all mobs
so does caster LB
bc I was arguing w/ someone in my party over caster LB in the last pull for mt gulg
they wouldn't use it bc "it wouldn't do anything"
they're a dumbass
ranged or caster LB is technically ideal when you have it in dungeons
yeah I pulled everything after the 2nd boss there, and ran out of mits and died
Uhh, how is bard at lvl 60? On trial atm
stuff didn't die fast enough and no limit break dragged it on too long
What u mean used to be?
no limit break isn't the reason why you died though
sure, caster or ranged LB would have made it faster
but you shouldn't have died with or without it
limit break probably would've given how close to dying the mobs were when I died
anyone knows why I can't click on it? :/
more likely you weren't getting healed enough or the DPS was bad to begin with
I mean due to the song upgrades and the fact that your kit function/proc rate isn't locked behind a dot upgrade the game didn't tell you about, your quality of life as a Bard compared to pre-EW is much nicer.
healer was fine, they ran out of resources as well, dps I kind of want to lean towards making pull longer
as far as running out of mits goes, hopefully you used everything including arm's length and your invuln
Interesting 
our ninja kept using doton on bosses, I prompted them in chat multiple times to use raiton over it, still doton
lv56 is still your biggest QoL upgrade because of Iron Jaws
but your songs function identically across all levels now
started w/ hallow on paladin, used AL + reprisal, held out passage of arms, resorted to clemency spam
i literally had nothing
was the dps just… bad?
no sentinel/rampart/Sheltron/divine veil either?
i didn't include those bc of length it'd take up in message but yes I did use them all
your aoe combo also heals yourself, why clemency?
loggin into mogstation fine but cant log into the launcher. what am i doing wrong
no lvl 84 trait for healing
So, just in case this was missed a bit, like Ren said, Caster/Ranged LB do full potency to each enemy hit. It's not really "[x dmg] shared across all enemies" and more "[x dmg] dealt to each enemy"
it can't have been that bad
then the only answer is the DPS was bad
I’d say the dps was just v bad
can't tell you any more without a log to look at
I suppose you could, like, add up the damage done by the LB and say "this is the total damage it did and all enemies shared it", but that would be goofy, because the more enemies hit by it, the more damage the LB will do lol
last mt gulg pull is doable without lb but easy to die in if dps is plain bad
!action limitbreak
!faq limitbreak
Resources by Allagan Studies
Limit Break Explained
Shadowbringers Limit Break Video
my cooldowns went like
hallow -> AL/reprisal -> sheltron -> rampart -> sheltron -> sentinel -> passage of arms for 2s maybe before gcd -> sheltron -> clemency spam w/ nothing left
bah
i ain't got a log up bc no act running at time
it is what it is
Anyway, no player skill has the silly effect of splitting potency
correct
They can have potency falloff
I’d just say the dps was bad and in that situation lb would have in fact made the difference
In general, just use aoe LB in trash in dungeons. You're going to lose it all when you gain the extra LB bar anyway.
a dungeon where DPS LB would have made the difference between life or death is a pretty shit dungeon to begin with
That person has been grossly misinformed.
also yea that guy is an idiot
I'm going to stop short of calling them an idiot because LB is not really explained well in game
but
it's a fucking aoe
permission granted to use your brain
giving mentors a good name
That means nothing lol
i'm pointing that to the LB not being explained well thing
at that point I'd assume you know enough about jobs and what LB does on them
Battle Mentor status is proof you completed a checklist, not proof you're competent.
they're a battle mentor, they've had 1500 comms worth of time to get it right
so yes they are an idiot
you're welcome to screenshot this chat and send it to them if you want
I'll call them an idiot in their face
they have probably told countless other players the same thing
i dont want to think about it

Just finished ARR. Can I ask what's there to do besides doing MSQ?
did you finish the base quests or the patch quests
The rest of the msq
The alliance raids
No trial series, can't really do the raids...
The big 3 for each expansion are the raid series, the alliance raid series and the trial series.
ARR being ARR however things inevitably get weird. The ARR raid series, while good, doesn't have a normal mode and is basically savage difficulty so finding people to do it synced may be a challenge. You could however find a high level buddy to drag you through it unsynced.
There is no trial series as such in ARR, but you can now unlock harder versions of the msq trials.
The ARR alliance raid series is mandatory anyway, you have to do it before you can start HW. So might as well get started on that.
What ARR does have is a fuckton of optional dungeons to unlock. So that might be something
all of these basically
so extra dungeons, trials, the crystal tower alliance raid, blue mage (if you care about that sort of thing), hildibrand quests, relic weapons (god help you if you do them), and the shitty puzzle quest that gives you like 10 gil
the hard versions of ifrit/titan/garuda and the crystal tower alliance raids are mandatory to continue parts of the ARR patch quests so you might as well start them early
question is it more beneficial to try and learn keyboard and mouse or go controller?
Whichever you want
I've cleared ultimates onncontroller
There's no inherent advantage to either
Although ast button bloat is admittedly shitty on controller
The game is very well optimized for either input medium
best to try out both and stick with what you like more
it literally doesnt matter
do what you're comfortable with
m+k bad REEEEEEE

nice guess ill stick to controller as i did in lol then thanks for the help
Do make use of your l+r and double tap hotbars as well
i will i also try and use the little paddles for once
will ilvl600 augmented radiant gear be obsolete when 6.1 arrives? as a new player, how do players deal with the BiS gear in ARR, HW, ShB when new gear comes in?
nah, it will still be the highest ilvl for the most part (excluding weapon)
There is no bis gear for old expacs
Just current bis
well there is BiS gear for old ultimates, which can get whacky cause old level caps with old stat caps
Kinda
but that's another topic entirely
After a certain point, current gear with specific substats is the bis
true
Either way, ilvl 600 should even be fine for most of 6.2-6.3 if you just do casual content
so no need to worry
thank you. as i just started the game, is Aethestite gear still the BiS for gatherer? i am working towards purple scrip DoL gear, pls advise if this is the correct goal?
Crafted gear with pentameld is bis for crafters and gatherers
purple scrip gear is not bad though
We get new crafter/gatherer gear in odd x.1 and x.3
but pentamelded crafted is better
i dont understand sorry, what is "Crafted" gear? and why is it better? Because augmented radiant gear is not crafted gear and its the BEST gear?
Gear that's crafted
Radiant gear is from your weekly tomes. And is augmented via savage raids until 6.1
pentamelded crafted gear is BiS ONLY for crafters/gatherers
In 6.1 you'll be able to augment via the alliance raid
for combat jobs BiS is a mix of raid drops and augmented tome gear
purple scrap DoH/DoL gear are ilvl 570. BiS DoH/DoL are only ilvl560. why is the latter still superior?
Pentamelding
You can force 5 materia in the crafted stuff
And none in the scrip stuff
Also the current purple scrip gear is job specific
So it's basically useless for crafters
Is there a setting in FF that allow you to see your own buffs first on the list? would help a new monk out 😄
yes
Separate out your buff lists in the hud layout
go to your UI config and change the settings from there
There's like 4 different lists
darn must have missed it, sorry for a problem 😄
oh got it! thank you so much!
so many things in ffxiv which is DENSE
new players going crazy trying to understand
i should edit that honestly
that’s the mmo experience
i mean you are talking about literal endgame min-max, its gonna be a bit dense
Item level is usually better because it means more main stat (str int etc) and hp but crafters and gatherers don't use either so on paper it's pretty meaningless
It's more nuanced than that overall but that's the broad strokes
ok thank you! i am just overwhelmed. in order to prep for patch 6.1. what gear should i be working towards that is safe/optimal for the long term?
A set of 560 gear with basic melds is plenty for crafting and gathering
boutta go whack a man to death with my fat cat frying pan
Especially since the purple scrip gear is job specific
Imagine not having a glowing spriggan frypan
Do other dailies work like Tribes, in that I can take them on one day and it doesn't count against the next day's instance?
i don’t even have a fat cat frying pan my culinarian is 68 😫
Technically yes, but it's really not worth doing. The quest themselves take like 2minutes tops
Outside arr ones that require specific fates
I mean one that aren't Beast Tribes, like the singing shards ones, or the free Alexandrite map in Mor Dhona.
There's a minimum time to do a synched dungeon, and I understand it to be 15ish minutes plus queue. That's hardly an 'instant'.
I was captain with twin adder then moved to maelstrom but now changed my mind. If I go back to twin adders will I be captain again or do I have to start afresh?
Your rank and seals for maelstrom retains
You can swap in another week iirc
Theres a certain cooldown to swapping gc
Yeah 8 days but that's fine. Ty

just wondering if it is worth it to keep doing trust endwalker final dungeon for the tomestomes + loot?
You could.
i get green classical gear but dynthesize them and the drops seem... not good?
I'm assuming ||dead ends||
yes
those are crafted tho?
Theres a unique minion there that cant be sold on the mb as wlel
i see, i guess if nothing better to do in the day can just do it for hours and hours right? its not like its wrong to do so
the green drops im getting not lvl 90
Yea. You could just run it till your tomestones are capped
And ignore expert for the rest of the week
I did that for awhile for the minion
Need to reinstall game due to technical issues. What will I need to manually back up?
character settings like hotbars, keybinds etc
screenshots folder, any folders in particular?
if you have access to the character login, that's how you backup most local stuff like hotbars
can also do it via launcher
thank you - my question was is there anything I need to manually back up, like file folders and suchlike
screenshots, etc
Hi all. Is possible pay 1month time with ps store money please ?

AFAIK, no
Can someone explain house sizes for me:
I've recently been in a 3 floors high building belonging to a single person
I've also been in a 2 (I think) floors high building, but it also had 15 spots for FC member's apartments.
Techinally the 3 floors high building is bigger but counting in all 15 apartments, smaller building is bigger.
Soooo which one exactly is bigger, how do house sizes work
Hope this question makes any sense
any free company house can have personal rooms, no matter the plot size
It says 6.0 but i can't remember when? Is it a feast mount? A coming one or already passed? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Dreadnaught_Identification_Key
season 20 feast reward, 5.58 - 6.0 so already over
if it's available again it'll probably be sometime after 6.1
you can see what the houses are classified as on the residential ward aethernet, all smalls will have the same layout inside, limit of interior and exterior furnishings etc
and any size fc house can have the personal rooms, so it's separate from the size
Personal rooms are the same as apartments - they're personal instances tied to a static structure location. The number of personal rooms available is not limited by the size of the FC house, but rather by how many people choose to purchase a room. If 15 or fewer people have rooms, you'll only see the first 15 slots listed. 16-30 doesn't appear until a 16th room is created.
Hey is there a way to tell if I’ve already bought a hair style? I don’t remember if I bought controlled chaos from the moogle event thing.
If it's untradeable it errors you
could also just go to the aesthetician and check if it's available
Oh ok
If it’s available?
If you can use it
How do I unlock unending coils of bahamut?
Oh but like there’s no name plating, so I find it hard to view, unless there’s something I’m not seeing in that screen
Beat O4S and then talk to the minstrel in kugane.
Ooo ok I’ll look for that, ty. Nice hair style too
Is Cihanti from Radtz-at-han the only person that exchanges tomestones of aphorism for items?
I got everything I needed from there and now Idk what to spend my tomestones on
Yes. She is the only vendor for those tomes
If you have all the gear you need, you can buy materials to sell on the MB or use in your own crafting
Ah thank you
is there someone who is supposed to run this stall in idyllshire?
Yes it's for the relic
They spawn in when you get the crystal sand step
You'll see ulan and that there
What jobs/DOH/DOL can you get to level 60 in the free trial? I want to fully know if I like this game before I sub
All DoH and DoL. All jobs except red mage, samurai, gunbreaker, dancer, reaper, and sage.
I don't think they said what exactly it will cover, but it will likely be about 6.1, which is expected to include some balance changes
nice
Is there a katana that has no guard, one that goes from handle to blade
Sometimes they don't talk about specific balance changes in the LLs though, and we find out later from patch notes instead
A few yes
ShB relic in a few forms
Relics 
its the 6.1 live letter part 2 so definitely will be about 6.1, just don't know how indepth they will go

Hey that’s a pretty good one, thanks
part 2 live letters are usually decently in depths. More screens, maybe going in game to show off a few things... mentioning a few job changes (not really specifics but more what they're aiming to do)
They did mention living dead in the last one iirc
So maybe that'll finally get something
and blood weapon
part 1 mentioned what is changing, part 2 is usually a rough idea of whats happening without toooo many specifics unless it needs a detailed explanation
I can see them reiterating everything from the lodestone post on new housing system
Come now vinyl, we've both spent enough time here to know that the people that play this game don't read
true
Screenshots of alliance raid gear is likely
Hope it's dyable
Undyable shit from ivalice hurts ne
you would think they would make the Ivalice stuff dyable by now >.>
they dont really update armor that much
it would also be nice if they gave us tokens to redeem them since it can be annoying to get certain pieces
They really don't need to give people even less incentive to run ivalice
is there anyway to spend bicolor gemstone? farmed to 1000 cap but radz vendor says i dont have enough contribution. i only did fate for EW region. any help on where to spend?
and we can exchange tokens for armor pieces, 2 piece for body / legs and 1 piece for others
Literally every other bicolor vendor in the game
Have you done every zone?
There's 12 others at minimum
oh ok i will try in other areas
no i only did EW fates
16 at max
Yeah have you not unlocked the others?
No, I mean
you have to max out fates in each zone to get the best turn ins
Travel > shared fates
yep
You need to max out every ew zone for the good rewards and the 2 best vendors
and the Radz vendor won't unlock until then
really wish they let us buy token before we get max rank
where should i go?
Jesus that's scattered
You're not max in every EW zone, also spoilers
Again there’s vendors in all 12 of those zones, you can’t miss em
And a vendor in the 2 hubs of each expac
ok thx
Hub vendors don't unlock til you max all zones
Just hope that we get a crafted or replica version of that gear at some point 
did they ever made crafted / replica versions of previous alliance raid stuff?

Iirc void ark stuff models are reused elsewhere
oh yea VA stuff are
think world of darkness stuff too
hopefully they make Ivalice and Nier stuff too, but i'm not holding my breath
The NieR stuff will likely remain exclusive to the NieR raids.
Good
Someone was asking to use the FC workshop for something exterior house related.
You need a workshop to craft, or to gather housing stuff or something?
Yeah, some housing stuff and airship/sub stuff I think.
The big fancy walls that are a full package are fc workshop crafts as well
is there a way to check for vacancies in apartments without going to the caretaker
apartments should never be full
but i'm unaware of another way to check for apartment vacancy
it's not like housing where you can check at the ward entrance
shirogane wards 1 and 2 main devisions have full apartments
i managed to get 1 in ward 2 subdivision
wait people can just steal shit wth
Should I finish the whole ARR MSQ first before I do the blue side quests?
I haven't unlock most dungeons is that okay
only applies to housing realistically, as people with permission in an fc/tenant can take items yes @vast ferry
You are doing your job quests, right? 👀
Yes
50-80 roulette is pretty whatever, you'll get it unlocked eventually by doing msq anyway so i would suggest just continuing with msq unless you want a break from it, then feel free to do the
that have unlocked
so if i leave my door unlocked by mistake some rando can't just walk in anbd put my furniture in their imventory
correct
I'm at the part where I need to head to Ishgard before I can unlock my other skills
LOL
Just making sure you're doing those blue quests 
In post arr, the blue quests would be beast tribes unlock and extra dungeons?
If you see a blue quest, grab it
It’s not complicated
a lot of blue quests are just emotes
No?
No?
No?
i got an emote from a blue quest
bulk of blue quests quite frankly are dungeon unlocks
That doesn't count as "a lot"
i can think of 5 in the first section of arr
Blue just means it unlocks stuff, vast majority are dungeons and stuff
That's 5 out of like
Hundreds
And do you know how many blue quests there are in total?
can anyone else not use alt + f4? The process seems to be rejecting it
That’s a target key bind
It’ll target the 4th member of the party
if there are 100s of blue quests then i doubt every one unlocks something of note
They all unlock something at the end of their chain
Or during it
That's why it's blue
Dungeons, beast tribes, system features, jobs, raids
In summary, Prioritize MSQ and try to do all blue missions on the side
Hildebrand quest line, aether currents
there are some inconsistencies though
doman enclave requires finishing a yellow quest series to unlock
But it tells you that
Moogle beast tribe is another culprit 
yea but why not just make that series blue if it's a pre-req anyway
hildibrand and scholasticate are yellow quests, annoyingly
same with unlocking a certain custom delivery recipient
All of the custom delivery npcs, the quests required for it, are blue
so actually it's funny, the real answer is actually the opposite of what Alice said
in fact there are some yellow quests that probably should have been blue
The 2nd idyllshire npc has a yellow quest as a prereq iirc
I'm fairly sure ||kurenai's|| quest line was yellow
Oh yeah that too
but you are right though, purbol rain is still yellow
yea I'm thinking the ones after
The Ruby princess quests were definitely yellow, but anyway
Do blue quests
is there a way to change the door and pillars in an apartment
nop
i heard you can clip shit through the pillars or something
To an extent, yes.
But that won't change the door or pillars themselves.
The best you can do would be to cover the pillars with different partitions.
there is one questline that is yellow that should be blue - || doman adventurer's guild in mor dhona || which is required to unlock || doman restoration ||
That was mentioned
Sooo a pretty stupid thing to admit to, but can you somehow get back unique quest only rewards Ive discarded (like orchestrion rolls...)
Or did my stupidity bite me back this time
should be calamity salvager in any of the 3 starting cities
under quest rewards
if it isn't then 
Good to know... Thank you, didn't even think about checking them
I'm the only one who's NoClippy is not working at all?
as a bard, critical hit or direct hit rate?
check the balance
!faq balance
Got a few questions in regards to the cross hotbar: What's the lock symbol for, and how do I affect it? Why are certain sets highlighted (set 8 in my case)? And how do I use the WXHB?
it being unlocked means you can drag things off and adjust it, locked means you can't
Is there a way to toggle the lock?
By clicking it with the virtual mouse
Thanks, that answers one of my questions 😄
Do you just have to use the virtual mouse for the WXHB as well?
What do you mean by doubletap? I'm double tapping and nothing's happening
Neither of those work for me
Ok, thanks I got it. Btw, what does cycle up refer to?
Am i the only one having this problem then?
It uses the next hotbar in line Instead of a specific one
Ok, gotcha
Very handy
Last thing, why was my set 8 highlighted?
Set 8 is the default for extended but you can change it to whatever
Ok, thanks for clearing all that up!
Good day all! I've a level 90 Machinist but for some reason I cannot equip the the IL560 gear from Varsarudh. I'm supposed to get a full set of gear,b ut see none available from her.
The 90 gear is the same as the 89 gear
Oh also I lied, I have one more question: Is the pet hotbar a separate thing from the XHB, and how would I access that if possible?
All my current gear is is IL545
firstfully
Are you at the right tab
actually not tab, there's a list of options when you interact with her
yes, Ranged DPS

sorry - Physical DPS
I'd wanna see what the shop screen looks like
last I recall you just click the thing and the game will go "confirm obtainment" or something
The i545 class gear you got at level 89 automatically becomes i560 when you hit 90.
physical dps
Phys DPS
If you're already wearing the artifact gear, then you don't have to do anything else.
it's under phys dps.
I am already at 90 - nothing changed to 560
it's the pioneer set.
yep
Can you ss your character window?
Available
That's your weapon
it says available.
Pioneer's Scope is the head
Pioneer scope..
What's the problem?
ataktos, pioneer scope....
Scroll down for the rest of the left side gear
Are there any good ff14 ape NFTs out there?
No
... what
OK, other pieces I tried showed I could not equip. Looks like pioneer is working - thanks
Git, we don’t do that here
The ape is you
all the other stuff is for other jobs, that's why 
Yes, because it's all class specific, so only the ones for MCH would show as equippable.
Yeah it even tells you the jobs, that they go to
Everything else, assuming you have no other classes at 90, would say "unable to equip"
Damn you could’ve just said no, you chose violence instead
Hover to the piece, it will show tooltips, read the tooltip
Artifact gear is job specific
And can't be shared with other job within the same role
Like non af equipment
should be able to tell that by level 90
But if I see no first player bonus then you better be in your job gear
is there any kind of 2FA login method I can use to protect my account?
Yes, SE calls it one time password
You can set it up on Mogstation under your account info
Thank you ❤️
If I pay for the Platinum EB package but my partner uses the free one, do I still get the Platinum items?
What?
Cause both partners can select different EB packages
You have to pick the same one
You would get whatever comes with the free marriage

you need to both have platinum if you want the platinum items
Doesn't it cause an error if both partners pick different packages?
Can you go to Lyhe Mheg with a friend?
no, it doesn't error
it just defaults to the lowest marriage package between what ever the two people have. so in this case, defaults to free marriage. if it was gold + plat, it would default down to gold
Damn that sucks
The page about wedding packages mentions this btw
yeah, its not a personal instance zone
oh if we're in different stages of upgrading it though, does it not work?
You both need to be at the same phase in order to see each other.
I see thanks!
