I figured
your only choices are SMN and RDM
lol
unless you want to count healers as "mage" classes
And they’re consistently at the bottom of damage lists, because ya know
What would you say is the least complicated ultimate raid out of three?
UwU, yeah pretty sure it’s UwU
Cause Ive been practicing UcOB got to Nael but ots so complicated so got me thinking maybe this isnt the best ultimate for the first timers lol
There's not going to be any new ilvl 600 gear
Is Alex Savage gonna be hard for level 80/90 peeps? I was looking to see if I can run it unsynced with others just to clear it
if you have multiple people
not really that hard
there's just some mechanics that instant wipe if you're solo so you just need more dps to beat the fights
With the Steam-account merger, do I still have to buy it on Steam if I would like to play it via Steam (Steam Link, easier streaming etc), or can you somehow do it alternatively?
If you’re on steam, you have to use steam
I thought with the merger they could just use new launcher and bypass Steam entirely?
the ffxiv launcher needs steam up now to access the steam api for steam auth

When is Garo gear coming back?
6.1
Ty
What does it mean when someone says progging savage fight for example
Does it mean practicing
These abbreviations are confusing to me dx
Progressing
Prog point is basically the mechanic of the fight you're currently working on
Ah so if I say Progging Nael for UcOB ultimate, that would mean Im working on Nael fight mechanics?
6.15 is when crystal conflict launches right
6.1
6.1.
6.1
I think you’re missing a 5 on the end of that one. I been having an argument with my discord and I wanna be right. That it’s .15
They’re all making fun of me, because I know I saw it was .15
Also is it possible to start from Nael in Ultimate or have to start from Twintania
That's called Mandela syndrome
We literally just had a live letter that said it’s coming in 6.1
Remembering something that didn't happen
For practice or we have to start from twintania every time
you have to start from twin. that's how... fights are
You can check #translations-and-liveletters
Well I can’t find anything where it says 6.1 proper…. Where would I find the proof for that
Ultimates specifically
we literally just had a liveletter
Ugh, so I really did humiliate myself by insisting it was 6.15 for 3 hours straight
… there may have been some screaming involved
You were wrong, move on. It’s the internet, it doesn’t matter
honestly don't see many people using the "practice" shit, because ultimately it doesn't make much sense to skip to progging something later when you have to do the mechanics before anyways to actually clear 
Man…. Well thanks guys that sucks for me though now I look like a giant moron
It happens
When I'm doing 1v1 with a mob as a melee dps, do i still need to do the correct positionals??
You just suck it up and don't
What exactly are these two options?
Anyone else from JP getting phishing link tells?
hmm, how exactly is that different from Engaged/Unengaged?
Sketchy stuff happening in the middle of the night
Claimed enemies would be the purple ones that someone else tagged first, I guess?
Report em, be done. Don’t do anything dumb
How do you report em?
Never had the need to report someone
So idk how to do it in 14
System Settings -> Support Desk -> Contact Us
Thank you so much!
If it's RMT, I think you can even right click their name? Not sure though. Been awhile.
Yrs
So is Unclaimed Enemies enemies no one has hit, and Claimed Enemies when someone else (ie the tank or random person) has hit but I haven't?
You claim an enemy if you hit it
If someone else hit it, it’s unclaimed for you
is monk just cracked for dps at 60?
afterwards seems mostly like qol/potency bits
You have all your basic stuff now, monk has been like that for a while
trying to figure out the color things, using high contrast colors just to see the difference, and swung at an enemy.
Shouldn't it have gone blue?
if you quit midway through crafting do you lose the items?
pretty sure the game tells you that but i forget
ty
Is moving to Materia still free?
Afaik, yes
hey, can you request overmelding from other people, like normal materia melding?
yes you can
provided you have enough materia to overmelds
oh, is it the same button?
yup
okey thank you
did that last tier with my friends

Where is a good place to post a friend recruitment code? I want the leveling headband haha.
!faq raf
I was meaning where I could post my recruitment code, because I don't think I could rope my real friends into the game hah.
Ahh, thank you!
what is the best grand companie?
The one you decide to choose
just aesthetics
can u change in the future?
Guys, can someone PLEASE help me? I accidentally cancelled a Square Enix Free Trial acc that I linked to Steam by mistake. It doesn't have anything on it, but I cannot for the love of god make it so that Steam understands that account doesn't exist. I just want to log in to a new account on Steam. Is there a way?
support ff14 page
With Gil, but again they have no functional differences
you'd need to contact support for that one
we can't really help you
So i gave my friend code to a friend
But he is not gonna play ever again most likely
I only have 5 gold chocobo feathers, can i give my friend code to other people
Its the weekend, you wouldn't get a response until monday.
Or im just stuck with this
if you want to play then you could just make a standalone free trial account
Not talking to you, use context clues
I just want to give my code to someone that actually plays
Oh sorry my bad
don't need to be rude yourself either.
Its ok, dont worry
Anyway try the RAF Reddit
My question is if i can give my code if i already gave it
Yes, you can recruit/be recruited multiple times
Ok, thank you very much anyone!
So, just one last question. If I'm on the free trial on the standalone version, and I want to upgrade it to the Starter pack, can I buy it through Steam and use the same account?
how do i raise collectability of ishard stuff besides raising the quality
Use HQ material
for arcanist/summoner, can i stop the pet hotbar overlay? it seems to take 2 hotbars away when i have my carbuncle summoned
oh nvm was looking at the wrong item
Hud settings + right click the hotbar
was curious cause i got max qaulity rope which gave me 116 collectability but when i looked at cloth instead of rope by mistake i saw that was still the loest rank
Could elaborate by what you mean as the same account?
what would that be on console, do you know?
Sure! I mean that, let's say I get to level 30 on the standalone free trial, can I "migrate" to Steam with this same character when I buy the License for the game?
Absolutely!
It is based off of your Square Enix ID, so remember that!
No sorry
ty!
Ahhh awesome! So it doesn't matter if I buy the license through Steam then, if I start playing with the Free Trial on the Standalone/Windows platform I can later migrate to Steam when buying the full game?
Yes! I believe the only thing it doesn't save are HUD presets, but that could be me miss remembering
When do the patch notes usually drop before release?
Dumb question, but what level does your crafter need to be to overmeld materia? Does it depend on the rank of the materia? the item?
depends on the item. if you are trying to meld a lvl 90 item you need a lvl 90 crafter
Ahh perfect! Thank you SOO much RK-aid! I was stressing out because steam just locked me to an account that I just cancelled haha was getting on my nerves. But now I can give time for the FFXIV support to fix this issue while I play the standalone client. Thank you very much once again!
Got it, ty!
One more related question, does new crafted gear happen in 6.1 or is that later in the cycle?
Not for combat gear
No worries! And while your on the topic of getting a payed service account, I know this is very cheeky, but would you consider putting in my friend recruitment code? It gives out bonus items for both the recruiter and recipient. It is simply included with your purchase if you happen to do it before getting your payed subscription.
Preliminary notes are usually the Friday/Saturday before the patch, with the full notes coming up during the maintenance
OF COURSE! Send me in private if you want, so I'll save it in for when I buy the license! 🙂
Wonderful! Thank you so much
there should be a new crafted left side for gatherers/crafters with 6.1
but no new combat crafted
will most likely be able to augment the current crafted combat gear into 590 with an item from aphorism
Neat
fastest/most efficient way to get grand company seals?
what exactly is the difference between perfect balance and form shift? they look like the same ability to me but 1 having more charges
be high enough rank and then turn in unneeded gear to the vendor
form shift is used out of combat
God no
perfect balance gives you 3 GCDs worth of moves and also enables masterful blitz
but dont you use all your moves in combat anyway?
it's to let you start off with any move when entering combat
have you tried to use them?
or are you just reading the tooltip
oh wait i didnt notice that one of them is a skill and the other an ability
that's not really what I'm telling you
I mentioned already you use form shift out of combat and during downtime to set up your stance
you don't use form shift when actively attacking
perfect balance is something you weave during combat, at 60 it also lets you use masterful blitz
form shift also only applies for 1 attack, perfect balance applies for 3
One thing that people forget about Perfect Balance is that it also grants the form immediately depending on the GCD. So if you used Shadow of the Destroyer after Rockbreaker to trigger the guaranteed Crit, you can PB for 3 more Crit Shadows and that’ll boost your uptime even further.
It acts like all 3 forms are active
this person is probably not higher than level 50 so I figured it's not worth mentioning
It’s always good to let peeps know down the line imo.
I don't even think the guarantees crit applies until level 82
until then it's just 3 rockbreakers no?
I don’t think this affects Dragon Kick to Bootshine though, I think that’s still independent from PB.
Before lv82 it’s still 3 Rockbreakers yeah.
lunar solar (and most other openers) are doable right at 60 with masterful blitz anyway
before 60 you just kinda fuckle with perfect balance
yeah
MNK kinda suffers before lv45 because you don’t get Four Point Fury until 45.
Weird af.

you just use twin snakes to maintain the damage buff
it's fucky but it's not awful
nowhere near BLM levels of awful
is black mage as bad as people make it sound, just started as alt
The rotations just change a lot as you level, just gotta get used to it
is it possible to unlock UwU by solo unsynced completion of Sigma v4 Savage?
You’re not soloing that
which grand companie is better, imortal flame or maelstrom
We told you already, they have no real differences. Just pick one
black mage is great at max level, its leveling rotation just isn't very straightforward
it suffers quite a bit due to cast times and not having mobility tools until the late 60s
Monk finishes their entire aoe combo before DRG gets their second button

By melee job standards monk finishes their aoe pretty fast
Hey guys
How do i get mounts from achievments?
You just click the item on the achievement menu
The mechanics of the fight make it impossible to solo
You could, in theory, go with less than 8....but I still think it's not clearable with less than 8 iirc
About Eureka, To spawn a Fate u have to kill some monsters but, every monster killed have a %to spawn the Fate or u have to kill X amount of monsters?
Kill x amount of monsters and wait for their spawn window to open up, generally
Though most people just spam killing the monsters
not sure if the mechanics on spawning are fully known but the belief is that there's an invisible gauge you need to fill
does every cat girl have these dots on the face?
🤔 oh okay
Ok, Thx x the answer
is it always a guarantee that job changes are going to piss off some of the playerbase? some players are still mad that kaiten is being removed when yoshi p could've done other things
that's an extremely vague question with no real answer
I'm kinda glad kinda sad
Personally
I both loved and hated kaiten
It felt awful when you misclick or forget it
But it added that tiny bit of engagement
But losing it is better imo
yes because there are plenty of people who don't like change
I mean hey
there's 100% people that hate that TA is becoming a personal buff and mug is becoming a 120s party buff
someone on the subreddit may a post about how the jp players are reacting and they dont seem to be happy with the guaranteed crit
maybe they're joining the memes where dnc is andy throwing away the sam woody
well changes like that affect a bunch of things
It makes Sam/drg, Sam/sch and Sam/dnc combos less enticing due to the party buffs being less utilized
either way
🤷♀️ personally love that it'll be big number every time nad the DPS is going to be far more stable
instead of my burst going to shit because RNG said "the shinten will crit, your big chunguses won't"

i brought a stormblood code how do i activate it on ps4?
You could’ve just got EndWalker
It includes the other 2
ps4 doesnt have codes to deal with
should automatically be applied to your account once you've bought it
Not like people are gonna buy it
Breaks the tos
lmao true
damn
Stuff like that usually breaks TOS
makes sense
if its a playstation code
sadly isn’t
well, guess you gotta refund the code
they won’t refund it lmao
Still big slashy damage
since you did buy an item that didn't work, you could do a chargeback
i’ve tried they said bc it isn’t faulty i can’t refund it
Where can I get a leve kit?
i’m aware
really 😱😱😱😱
You physically can't buy stormblood on it's own from any official store
Not sure where else to ask, but does anyone know this glamour the two are wearing?
the chest is hyur hempen camise
idk about the boots
or legs
!aglam female hyur hempen camise
Oh I didn't think that it was different on cat girls... but it is.
so i did the ||praetorium||, how long is it gonna take till ||i get acceptable amounts of xp from msq again||
80 whole quests??
bruh
well you won't need to be higher than 50 until you get to hw
so
is they anyway to dye the lvl 50 summer coffer set?
No
you can augment the i40 set to be dyeable however
damn i like it but its to dark green imo
!faq afgeardye
A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.
Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Yolaine in the 'Artifact Gear Exchange' option.
Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.
Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana. The weapons are by default dyeable when bought from Grenoldt.
Endwalker i560 set: Made dyeable from completing the relevant Endwalker Role Quest series. The gear is buyable from Varsarudh in Old Sharlayan at x11.8, y10.
@regal pawn thanks, i honestly was lost
so how long does it usually take to reach hw after arr
People did arr as a whole in like 40-50 hours, only doing story when they cut down arr
No skipping
what is crystal tower for btw
Mandatory for story
alliance raids for arr
To get to heavensward
and i have to do one of those? 
they super easy
Same with hard mode primals in waking Sands with minifilla
You have to.do the whole crystal tower chain
it's braindead content tbh
All 3 alliance raidd
The only “difficulty” is waiting for a queue
24man is casual content as fuck, basically 24man dungeons
hey, anyone here who uses steam for this game?
I am trying to figure out if regional price changes are a thing for players that subscribe through steam
If you use steam wallet
No
No
!faq subpriceeu
!faq subpriceeu
these arent really mentioned in steam's store so i guess there isnt any regional price changes
You can go via the steam wallet on mogstation and it should apply regional pricing
0
Cause echo isn't in 6.1
Whats the best way to grind for Tomestones of Scripture
3 blues and 1 tank aurum vale
Or just do your daily roulettes
Blues like Blue Mage?
Yes
.
Weapon is added later
Would Aurum Vale even without Blues be a good way to grind
Not really
Your best weapon will be the 595 from the new ex
Ok

I just wanna get that Kamuy mount asap
So 6 aurum runs, less if you did your roulettes along with
Aight
I should check how many i have rn
I think its like 27
Oh it was exactly 27
Where's the best place to get FF14 merch?
The square Enix site?
is there any daily roulette that lets me utilize rested xp
Leveling would be best
i did leveling today, didnt use any rested xp
monsters dont drop xp in it
but the bosses do
The bosses do
but fastest way to use it up would be to just queue highest available dungeon
main scenario
pretty much all of them except the pvp one tbh
ok got it
it just varies how much you'll use at once
cause it only affects the xp you get from the duty and kills themselves, not the bonus
Kk thx
i'd just say throw yourself at highest available dungeon like 2-3 times
I wanna grind up my Rouge but its very low level, should i start floor 1 of Palace or go to 51 from the get go
51
Alright
is it safe to use mods in this game?
Only if you don't talk about it in game
Or harass people
thats bit of a monkaS
🤔 I really want to try the DPS meter but seems risky
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
Tons use it
We just said “it’s fine but don’t harass people or say you’re using it”
I mean there's no way for SE to trace you
And stream with it
unless you directly talk about it in game
I got botanist and miner together with weaver at 80 now through the diadem/firmament, is it a good idea to get everything else up to 80 now as well for EW leveling or does it not matter? My endgoal is everything 90.
you should have been leveling all crafters together from the start
You need all your crafters at similar levels if you want to be self sufficient
Never felt like it cost me anything so far just boosting through firmament?
That only works until 80
And you'll still want to do the class quests for some of the abilities, right?
yeah
It’s a better Master’s Mend in most scenarios
More total durability restored and more CP efficient
So get all crafters to 80 now through ishgard restoration in preparation to EW?
You just need to make sure you don’t use an action that would break the craft, since Manipulation’s durability restoration happens AFTER the craft is used
So if it hit 0 with the action, manipulation doesn’t save the craft
Ishgard is the simple route but I find it dreadfully dull.
If you want to, but that’s gonna be a very slow process
which spell replaces Water Cannon? (BLU)
Any 220 potency spell
In terms of a water spell, Protean wave for the most part
Or something like Sonic boom to allow easier weaving
Unless the knock back makes things annoying
i have Plaincracker learned rn and seems stronger regarding single target and aoe
Water Cannon is your weakest spell for the most part since it’s what you start with
Most GCD spells that blue mage has are 220 potency
The differences are the element, if it’s magical/physical, and how it “attacks”
!action electrogenesis
Deals lightning damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 220 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
This efficacious technique is, in nature, employed by the voracious sea serpent, which will spit a bubble of water that takes on the electric charge of the serpent's own scales─giving the creature's prey a rather nasty shock upon impact.

Rank: 2
Circle AoE on the target, I used to use this one a lot as my favorite
so since we’re on the subject of BLU, is there really no better way in the late 30s/early 40s to level up than just… killing mobs
Overworld mobs is how your level
Have a friend help you by killing level 70 monsters
With the 10x xp multipler
You tag the monster with a quick hit like the Flying Sardine attack, and they quickly attack to get aggro and finish it off
Takes less than an hour to go from 1 to 70
what about higher level monsters?
oh huh!
Mobs over 70 aren't coded for.blu xp multipler
Anything past 70 doesn’t give boosted experience, as BLU’s current level cap is 70
i see
The only caveat to the friend tactic is that you two CANNOT be in a party together
also does this work if my attack misses?
(And also having a friend to help)
I don’t have any in-game friends but if anyone is willing to help me grind from 38… I do have flying sardine, and can offer uhhh a couple hundred k Gil
due to level diff
That can be an issue, yes. But you won’t aggro the mob until you actually hit
And it’ll still be very fast
It’s not like you’ll have a 5% chance to hit
Good point, I don’t think it does direct potency so those types of moves almost always hit
!action acorn bomb
Puts target and all enemies nearby it to sleep.
Duration: 30s
Cancels auto-attack upon execution.
This technique pelts foes with seedlike aetherial orbs, which then explode to release the soporific within. Scholars believe that similar defense mechanisms were originally developed by treants and other species vulnerable to vilekin in order to prevent their boring of holes and leeching of sap.

Heck
does sardine always hit?
what a waste of sardines :/
Sardine is recommended since it’s your only Instant cast spell
homie walking out of it like a terminator
what does limit cut mean in pf
mechanic
Community term for mechanics that puts numbers/dots/squares above the party’s heads, generally.
It indicates the order a boss would do that mechanic on which players
the name comes from the mechanic in A11S
which puts numbers (in shape of markers) above people's heads
and the boss does hits in the order
Kampeos Harma if its p2s PF
Would anyone on Primal be willing to help power level my BLU from 38 to 70? I don’t have too much to offer in exchange but I can throw like 300k gil your way. Already have flying sardine and all Stormblood areas unlocked
Is there any guide on pre-endwalker scrip farming? I'm trying to gear up my crafters (around 60-63) with scrip gear just like I did with my gatherers but crafting collectables seems too expensive compared to gathering stuff. Every guide I found is either old with yellow scrips or for endwalker.
Yellow scrips are white scrips
Literally the same
Just go gather your own mats and make up the stuff
I think I’ve heard Aurum Vale
Don't forget about custom deliveries - they're a very easy source of white scrips even if it's just once a week.
3 blues 1 tank aurum vale
Oh, thought it wouldn't work since I saw there's yellow scrips on the currency menu but no way to get them, thanks
thank you very much
That's for people who still have them
I keep seeing stuff about not wasting poetics but I’ve got all the gear I need/can buy why should I be spending them on? (I’m lvl 75)
!faq poetics
Should I post my .gif advertising the Blue Academy? Or is that consider spam?

We love helping BLUs there.
if someone's asking about blue mage information, its fine to link
but just randomly posting is a no
Otherwise it would be more appropriate in one of the recruitment threads.
Well. I’m interested in BLU stuff, so… fire away!
Speaking of BLU - what's the %HP on the last boss in AV to do Kamikaze combo?
Assuming 3 BLU/1 tank
35-40% in my experience
20% if you do
per BLU.
It’s safer at 35-40% health threshold, especially if someone does a Moonflute Opener.
Thanks Eldena, gonna check out the discord server!

I'm not sure what to do next, I'm only level 22, playing as a Gladiator, I just finished a mission and can't do another until 25. I only have a couple of side quests to do. How do I get main quests again?
!faq msqtracker

Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

I need help for a freind
With?
thank you
His controls just aren't working at all, he can't move or select anything suddenly and it's been like this for a few days, he's turned the game off and on, restarted his PC, and nothing seems to be working
Is he using controller ?
It's doing this for both keyboard and controller
Are his keybinds set correctly
If he’s on steam I fixed this by changing my controller configuration default in the games settings on stem library
He's on the PC version not steam
Keybinds?
Again this just randomly while we were playing, everything was fine then suddenly he just couldn't move
Does he have direct chat enabled?
Direct chat
It’s a setting that makes all your inputs go directly to chat box designed for controllers but would stop keybjnds working
Let me check with him
can you get the same outfit as krile
He probably just toggled it accidentally?
can some1 help me to level blue mage from 60 to 70?
idk where to look
Cash shop
Mogstation
oh
How could he turn it off? If he has it on
The settings
Character configuration - control setting - direct chat off
Let's see if that works!
Yes. It's available on the Mogstation.
Where’s a good place to lvl blu once I’ve got 1000 needles?
If you're solo, anywhere with mobs about 4 levels higher than you.
Okie dokie
But practically speaking, it's quicker to grab a friend, and make sure you have Sardine Throw, then head out either to the beach in Kholusia or by the Inn at Journey's End in Amh Araeng, and have them kill things as you tag them.
Also keep in mind that once you start getting into a range where enemies have more than about 2000 HP, 1000 Needles starts losing its effectiveness as a quick-kill, since it's flat damage.
It's 1000 damage, split evenly between all enemies as well, so if you're pulling packs, it's going to be even less effective.
whats the pros and cons you would say of apartments vs fc private chambers? and how much are apartments?
You won't lose your apartment if you leave/get kicked out of your FC
Apartments are slightly more expensive compared to FC chambers though.
I want to say they're 500k vs the 300k for FC chambers?
Yep
oh its female only
sad :(

relatively same? oh ok i see price differ. Thanks! im not sure, i havent found an fc i really like atm either...
is there a FFXIV thing on r/place? why not? or am i blind
No they mean a pixel art about FFXIV on r/place
And as far as I know, nope, there's nothing
i asked like 8 times already
the answer is no
but it's mainly due to lack of leadership
no one's designed something for people to place
without a design, no one wants to get going
so my pixel goes to blue archive until a leader shows up
We are too busy killing things or something, gotta prog savage panda

Trying again: would anyone on Primal be willing to help me grind BLU from 38 to 70? I have all Stormblood areas and aether currents unlocked, already learned Flying Sardine and can throw in 300k gil since it is a big favor 😄
Come to the Blue Academy, we can get you leveled and more. 
Tried there in Primal LFG too!
@stable dirge where is that
Oh that wasn't for me. Well, still
Throw up party finder and/or ask in limsa
This isn't the channel for getting people to do content
Will do
thx
i see, thanks! ty for the reminder, i gotta support BA too 
hm seems teh class resource resetting if you dont use said class for an extended period of time (say like a month) with no known fix...strange limit
anyone have an idea on how to fix thsi besides manually readjusting the element? the forums were no use
Are you referring to job gauges? Several received some changes with the release of Endwalker and this resulted in them being reset in everyone’s HUD layouts
So if you haven’t used it since before Endwalker release it’ll need to be moved to your desired location again
nope these were used within 2022 i can guarantee it
but yeah ive only noticed this issue with job gauges
at the very least, i had picked up these classes after endwalker release
Do you ever get error messages saying your settings failed to save?
nope
Well then just move them back and see if it happens again.
im on "close to home" quest like something 60, how close am I to heavensward
I’m on like quest 60 where they are finishing elder sylph
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
I’m not of ff14 rn 😉
Well if you’re looking at a list of quests right now you can see for yourself
That you’re nowhere near Heavensward
Ive seen a bunch of people running around saying that were getting glasses AND hats in 6.1 is this true or are their a bunch of trolls running around?
?
More glasses are getting added as fashion acc’s
Ohh so glasses we cant do most of our emotes with...that sucks
It lets you wear them with a hat, tho.
Question! how the heck do I advance to the next page when Kupo-bot responds to a command with 1/25 or something?
There’s arrows
can people in primal DC queue for the daark inside plz
Not that kind of channel, just be patient
oh right, i can't find help here to queue for a dungeon in here
and the game matchmakes you anyway
i am waiting for the people in the queue.
telling people to queue isnt going to make it much faster
it might help make it faster.
I guess this is a strange question, but does anyone know where to find recruitment for ulti statics? I'm growing increasingly frustrated trying to find a good group. They are all toxic or bad, but I'm looking for a chill group
All of my friends seem to have static for everything yet I've never had that
Why not join theirs
They are full lol
hi, newbie healer, are there tips for what to do when the tank dies and the mobs start whaling on the dps
Emotes work fine
But you can’t enter combat
What healer are you?
Res the tank and try your best
Prioritise the tank and yourself though
playing whm atm
i see, ok
usually i try to swiftcast rez the tank to get them up but it feels like by the tank is back up the dps are all dead already
As long as you and the tank are secure
then i dont know what to do cause its just me and the tank + all the mobs T.T;;;
You can relax a bit with ressing the dps
okok
Keeping the tank alive takes priority over ressing dps
honestly it's not a big deal to just wipe and reset
Yeah if the pull is that much of a disaster it’s not on you to carry it no matter what
when people accept rez, they get rez sickness for a minute
I almost never accept rezzes for that reason
The tank gear or yours might be underlvled too
I just release and run back as soon as I die
rez sickness?
Weakness debuff
ohhhh
Just try your best, but don't be a loser and say "just wipe"
25% stat penalty for like a minute and a half
50% if they accept two rezzes before the first sickness expires
thanks for all the help guys :D
Yeah good luck!
ohh ok thats good to know

if the pull went to shit then it's usually a combination of problems
not just one
so don't treat it like you're the only one who can save it
what class do i give to my retainers
Retainers can’t surpass your level in a given class, so one that you have levelled.
What materials do you need
if you only have two, then either bot + min OR combat + bot/min
All retainer combat classes gather the same stuff
in EW, whats the "breakpoint" for getting class recognition in cutscenes?
Botanist miner and fisher gather different stuff. Fisher isn’t very useful though
is it finishing the 70 class quest?
ok thank you
I’d strongly recommend at least one combat retainer
got a callout on my WHM skills but nothing else, even though i got all my classes at 70+. i imagine it's cuz i havent caught up to the 70 class quest on a lot of em yet though
They gather mob drops, something which is not great to do manually
I think rpr gets one later on
oh does not every class get a callout if youre sufficiently far along on a class?
It’s mostly whm I think
ah gotcha...i assume it is class quest related? or class level related
The weekly tome? Only 6.0
the blue one with no weekly limit
All hunts iirc
Or at least ShB ones do
Potentially StB?
A bit hazy on arr and HW
ARR does
iirc ive heard a few people during trains mention to do it on a level capped char for those...so maybe do that
Not every job has flags in ew, no
Killed like an A rank and got them
oh ok ty ty
yeah I just want more aphorism and confused whether I should just join hunt/roulette and can't do both cause time ._.
hunts are probably faster i imagine...assuming trains line up with your schedule
S ranks also give a fat chunk of aphorisms

Wait, it’ll drop upgrade materials?
Alliance raids drop tokens that can buy upgrade materials
when they're current
and last I recall it's weekly-gated
As I recall, you can buy as many as you want with the hunt currency but they are ridiculously expensive.
Baby Question: How are Hunts Organized. I know that A Ranks Respawn every 4-6 Hours and S ranks have a bunch of arbitrary criteria around them. But How do the "All Aboard the A Train" things happen/work/get decided on?
Entirely user decided. They have people go out and find the marks manually and mark as many as they can find.
there are hunt discords and linkshells/cwls which call these out
and usually it's just a conductor deciding to run one when enough marks are up after scouters find their locations
what is the best way to grind logogram?
Depends on the exact kind you want, some are harder to get
can anyone tell me why red mage heals a lot and summoner doesnt
Though I do recommend checking the marketboard first for cheap ones
SMN’s Physick scales with Mind, not intelligence
so what does vercure scale with
It’s a holdover from when SMN and SCH were much similar jobs in their toolkits for pre-30

ohh i can buy them from MB, that was easy haha thanks man!
What's faster to level up? POTD 50-60 or having someone kill Lv70 enemies?
Killing level 70 enemies only works for blue mages
and for level 1-15 on regular classes
And blue mages can’t enter POTD/HOH
Ahhh gotcha
past level 15 on regular classes, powerleveling methods suck
It’s a thing only blue mages benefit from since they get boosted experience from enemies
yeah, and it only works for regular classes from 1-15 because they require so little exp
Time to force my friend to help me with blue mage
Just remember that it doesn’t work if you’re in a party together
lmk if you need
cause i'm bored af
Dooo we have a commission area?
what do you mean commission
Like art XD
no because people arent allowed to advertise here
if i play an alt and play through arr do i get a free fantasia on him aswell and if i purchase an arr skip do i still get the free fantasia
Buying a skip loses you the Fantasia from the story
And all characters can get the story Fantasia
when running a command mission, do the npcs get xp for boss kills or is it just the mission completion they get?
the latter
thanks!
i guess farming an easy first boss would be trivial, makes sense now i think about it
do I suck or is it really hard to double weave on monk

is there a dyeable version of the starter reaper (Muzhik) gear
Don’t see any shared models
thx for checkin tho
will they increase the weekly cap for savage loot in 6.1?
not until 6.18, probably
when's the ultimate coming out?
rip
so april 26
is there a way to swap game from website to steam?
im from Europe, im not sure how much the game is per month on steam plataform
(€)
no
Not if you’ve already bought the game
the prices dont really change between platforms
im currently capped on poetics, I want to gear my PLD but the only place i can buy from currently is crystarium (530 ilvl) im very close to end of msq, will there be a new npc i can spend poetics at which would be worth the wait (higher ilvl than crystarium) in some endwalker city
i havent a clue how much it costs overseas 🤷♀️
!faq subpriceeu
ty
nah poetics are only good up until ilvl530 gear for now
Being on steam has no affect if you’re paying with €
got it ty
Now is there an updated version of that black mage rotation guide that there used to be
!faq blmleveling
blu question, is it possible to get missile from baelsar's wall?
!action missile
Deals damage equal to 50% of target's current HP.
Chance of successful attack is low. Has no effect on enemies whose level is higher than your own.
A magical imitation of warmachina technology, this technique allows the user to fire a barrage of aetherial missiles. When efficacious─which, bear in mind, is not guaranteed─it sends a shock through the foe that appears to resonate more the greater their vitality.

i got another 2 questions
what do the letters next to enemies mean
and whats with the circles with letters over them in some dungeons
how can I put the skill bar from bosses biggeR? the yellow one with the skill names?
HUD layout
target info element and divide it to 3 parts, enlarge the cast bar
leftover system, used to distinguish mobs with the same name
and about the circle, you mean the one that has an arrow in the middle (same direction as where the mob facing)?
!faq positional
Yeah this? ^
no like, there'll be circles or squares with letters A-D over them
You shouldn’t be seeing those unless you’re doing actual difficult content
or alliance raid
i think i've only seen them in alliance so far
You might see them in a few of the alliance raids, they generally are placed by players to designate which group goes where
Or which group targets which enemy
oooh that makes sense
it is under party menu, the signs and waymarks if you want to put it yourself
you could also see them in castrum when people spell dicbag
Cid backwards...we meet again
hello, is there somewhere i can ask further translation of the live letter ? even though the people doing it did a great job, i feel like some parts were not translated
They did the important stuff, and it was done during the stream
they cant translate every sentence word for word cause thats impossible
If you want seals, is Alexander part turnins fasters than dungeons?
no
They take about the same time, and usually you can get a full set of 8 parts, because noone wants them.
You have to exchange the gear each time and that adds up
As opposed to just queueing, getting your seals, queueing again
That's like a minute extra per run, max, though.
Oh I mean, comparing turning in drops, I forgot about the direct seals thing.
Yeah, the direct seals is only 800, that's like 2/3rds of an item.
Even less at higher levels. Accessories from the level 90 dungeons give over 1700 seals a pop
im not saying they did a bad job, im asking if there is somewhere i can ask to get more details on 1-2 sentences
Well you can just wait for the patch notes
guess i will
what ilvl drop will be the next 24 man raid?
only the weekly cap
590 I believe
No, reset just means u can earn the weekly amount again
Yes
Nice! How do I do so?
You just select the transfer option in mogstation, then use your steam game codes
how about the non free trial windows? can you convert it to steam if you rebuy the steam base game?
No, you’d have to make an entirely new account
I see
Thanks!
is endwalker currently not on sale? im only seeing the time card on NA store
oh there thanks
Why are you trying to buy on the na store? You’re on jp. Gotta match account region
uh, i dont think that matter for the datacenter

my account region's on NA
I know, but my first assumption is that people are in DCs for their region so my bad
why would my lvl 50 SMN has 300 tenacity, definitely not from the gear?
is it ok to throw away relic weapon when im already 90?
or i should keep it for glamour?
Relics from prior expansions are entirely for glam
so it should be ok to throw them away now?
you have have base line of certain stats, even tenacity/piety despite only being able to make use of those as tanks/healers
How much gil are large plots gonna be in empyreum?
If it’s an arr relic be careful with this
If you just discard a zeta you’ll lose your ability to buy the replica
Kinda
Eureka relics are still bis there and ShB relics are bis for old ultimates
And will remain bis til probably at least 6. 4 or so
Or until ew relics get custom stats
wait... should i save the blade in case the next relic requires my old relic to be traded?
anima is like that right?
Anima is the only one like that
And that's a combination of arr jank and first expansion syndrome
uh... i will just save it, just in case
there's no reason to save it, unless you do intend to do ultis but even then we'll get to a point where its moot
They made it very clear they aren't going to repeat the anima situation since so many people got upset by it
alright then, into the trash can
its on the blade stage, thats the final one right?
yes
Im new with thamaturge like level 24 new and I have no idea the skill rotations with this class I’ll cast like 2 fire spells then 2 ice spells then rinse and repeat but I don’t feel like I’m doing dmg
2 fire spells are not enough to drain your 10k mana pool
I get that but what ima tryna say is I need a proper skill rotation break down
When to use ice when not to use it and same with fire
!faq blmlevelling
I’m overall new to the game and especially the class
!faq blmleveling
I don’t understand that ngl
fire phase, cast fire spell until you run out of mana
then ice phase, only ice and thunder to refill mana
f= fire, b= blizzard, t= thunder
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...
then back to fire
that video explains it all
Does anyone have a good guide to beginning pvp? I don't follow content creator circles so I'm not sure if there are better sources than others
Akhmorning has a dps burst basics and some basic pointers
Ty!
When it says f1 t1 ect ect
Does it refer to the first first spell
Or anyone in general
Hey does anyone know what the discord is that mr happy is using to read off the live letter info and pics
Thanks !

weekly lockout
What does AM mean?
Ive seen it in pf, I have AM or brong AM
Action markers?
Is my guess
it will be repeatable until I win a drop right?
yes
Auto marker. For uwu
after you get honest gillionaire, is there any way to check how much you've made from leves?
how many loathsome memories do you need for all the ShB weapons?
60 * 17, so 1020 total
divide by 3 for each of the types
wait
Is Marron Glace the best option for HW Crafter's Scrip grinding, if you've done the week's customs?
wrong set
what stage was that for again? i have had the quest on and have 58 of those but also have at least all the first steps cleared
fuckin why is everything memories
do you get a achivement when you get the recollection weapons? having a hard time remembering what weapons i got past that stage
Yes

What would be some good gear recommendations for a level 50 dragoon? (Before Castrum)
Lvl 50 job gear
The blueish dragoon armor you should have
If not, do your job quests
doesnt matter too much given once you clear castrum and praetorium you'll be able to buy a decent weapon with the poetics you get from them
Hohoho
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I feel a fool

Heyyy I’m looking for an housing item idk what it’s called but it’s like a small circle platform that you can stick a dance pole on
Anyone have any ideas what it’s called?

ixali are a crafting beasttribe right
Mainly crafting, yes.
coolio
Some quests do have combat or some gathering/fishing
But for the MIN/BTN/FSH ones, you only need like level 15/20 at most.
ahh perfect
are there any roulettes i should skip besides the guildhiest one
Thank you so much!!
Depends on what you need
i mainly do roulettes for gil or xp depending on ,y curremt goal
Basically all of them but guildhests for Gil if you’re the role in need
They each give around 15k or so at 90, with Trials and Normal Raid being faster than the others on average
As for EXP, that’s mainly Leveling, Alliance Raid, Main Scenario, and Frontlines
Yeah, especially if you can get 7 more points in the strength, then a single session of training with the mind focus (the middle) would be enough
only issue is that my attributes are maxed, so I can't train them. There's some wiggle room for the luck, but not for the vit
Did you notice anything with La Noscean topsoil?
If your training involve stats changing but capped out of available point, auto redistribute, so the middle +40, other 2 both -20

having done only the ARR Hunt unlock quest done, how long would it take to do the whole questline up to endwalker to unlock endwalker hunts? roughly ofc
what does enmity mean?
Aggro
not long tbh, maybe a few hours
tops
tyty
i had no idea the hunts had a questline
if even that tbh, most of the quests are done in a few minutes
the questline is you unlock the better bills by talking to someone
that's it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
yeah thats just talking to an npc like 3 times
which takes a few seconds if u dont plan to read any of it
Unlocking all hunts? Like 15 mins if you know where you’re going
i only wanted to because i saw people link coords for hunt enemies in chat, theres a point to unlocking the bills right? or can i just go around and kill them without bills for same/similar rewards
I'm starting to see an alarming amount of Sprouts in Shadowbringer and even in Endwalker, how is that possible?
What should my next steps be after completing a realm reborn?
Boosts
Ah...
You lose sprout in endwalker +300h
doing post arr
Completion hw
just keep doin the msq
Post ARR, has 80 quests roughly iirc?
Okay so some differing answers here
Well hw requires post arr, i just assumed you already did that
Either way continue msq, pretty much everything is locked behind it
So each expansions, including base game has a 'post' story too. It can be quite lengthy until you get to the next expansion.
Good to know
