oh, right, should i keep these lv 1 weapons or just discard them?
Are you gonna use those jobs?
dunno i only unlocking them for now
Then don’t throw away their weapons, also make some gear sets, so you’ll know what’s currently in use
also, should I use the 1 2 3 combo only in its enchanted form as a red mage? because if I want to charge enough of the bar I need to spam jolt with the other two
What, you never spam jolt
but then, how do I charge up black and white magic gauges to use ebchanted combo??
Aero, thunder
Stone, fire
What do I do with spare wolf marks
but I need to use jolt to proc dual cast to use the other two and repeat
otherwise it's a 5 sec cast
But you don’t spam jolt only, big dps loss
They said "jolt with the other two"
isn't it jolt>veraero>verthrunder
then repeat till you have enough to use enchanted combo
or am I getting it wrong
Ok, my bad
I thought you weren’t using the ver-spells
If you have all the gear and other cosmetics you want, you can buy materia, dark matter, and some other stuff
Where do I buy materia
More like Jolt>Veraero then Jolt>Verthunder, then do both again. Don't Veraero>Verthrunder. The general idea is to use your shorter cast first to make the long cast spells instant.
should be in the miscellaneous section on the wolf mark npc
ye, that's what I been doing, thaks for confirming!
Also stone/fire whenever they proc
hey does anyone have an idea of the player count for the game cause I'm about to buy it but i was wondering if the steam version or square enix version have like double the player count of the other and wanna make sure I'm with the most amount of people because i think the two are separate right?
They use the same servers
o for real?
Steam, non-steam PC, Mac, PS4, and PS5 all play together
Crossplay
I just wouldn’t try that, it would definitely take too much
o ok then sorry that was a dumb question lol but thanks for the help
dualcast procs on any spell
Thanks buddy
so you do jolt -> veraero / verthunder for white and black
they have a chance to proc stone and fire, and then you replace jolt with those since they're also incidentally shortcasts with more damage / mana
Is there anything that gives 50 poetics?
I don't wanna do a full blown dungeon just to get 40
Already done all my roulettes as well
Tribe quests give a few, just knock those out
Hello! For any gatherers out here, how can I get white scrips as a miner without doing collectibles which require HW mining? (or is it not possible any other way?) I'm currently in ARR as level 50 and I'd like to buy the miner lvl 50 set from the vendor using those scrips.
do like 3 rounds of CC PvP
Oh pog, tysvm
There isn’t a lvl 50 miner set with scrips
i don't think so, though if you want an easy way to get scrips, you can get a level 1 fisher then engage in ocean fishing
also yeah there isn't a 50 scrip mining set so it doesn't matter
there's a pig costume in game right? 
yes
it's for 120k MGP + 24k MGP for the body and head at the gold sauer respectveily
144k mgp total
Where do u get the starbird
6.0 lvl90 dungeon
Which one should be pretty clear
@outer mural @boreal storm I found this Rowena vendor in Ul'dah who sells a full set called Miner for white scrips.
Level 50 ilvl 55.

oh i stand corrected then, i think that's the set you used to need to craft
i didn't realize they added it to the scrip shop
Well first off
Ahhh so I can craft it if I become an armorsmith?
let me check, i think so
I’m fairly sure 51 gear is just better anyway
yeah it is craftable but it's not really worht the time and money to craft it tbh, the 51 gear should be marginally better...?
i'll check rn as well
Ahh yes it is, I've seen a guide suggesting lvl 51 gear too, I was just curious about ARR gear though 😄
yea
its just easier to push to 51 to get vendor gear
since that gear on scrip is not universal and crafting the universal ARR set is generally a bit of a pain unless you find it cheap on mb/someone to craft it for you
well to answer your original question:
- collectables at 50 should be fine for white scrips? i don't recall being restricted to HW in that regard
- ocean fishing is still what i recommend, and it's open to even level 1 fishers iirc and give a heft amount of scrips
fire 3 -> fire 1 spam
!faq blmleveling
refer to the guide above, but
fire 3 is the initiator for your phase since it costs so much mana but gives you fire 3 buff immediately
fire 1 is more more efficient to spam for damage
Cool thanks for the help all ❤️
Thanks! I was looking for a guide
rng
since the nodes in UT have a chance of spawning both, there's no specific conditions
er no
sorry
you can go hit other nodes and hope it spawns with kumbhiraskin
As long as you didn't loot it, you can keep looking for another map
mind you, you don't have to actually loot from those nodes
Map spawn doesn’t start the timer. Gathering it does.
just open the node, see if it has the map you want. if it doesn't close and go to the next node
repeat until you find a node that has the map you want
Hello. Once i kill a monster, does the loot get automatically added to my inventory? And How often do i need to change gear (armor, weapons, etc.)
Yes and whenever you get an upgrade
can anyone tell me the dragoon rotation at level 60 because I know they removed a bunch of abilities
Ok. I don't go looking around for new gear then, right? Just whatever i loot from killing mobs.
The removed skills didn't change anything
You just bounce between your two combos and use shit on cooldown
ok thx
You dont get gear from killing normal world mobs
Starting off, you'll get enough gear from MSQ and dungeons
The story gears you until endgame
Cool. Thanks friends.
i'm using the clown hat seasonal glam for a glam set. if i use /visor to remove the clown nose, would it appear as if i have no clown nose to everyone else?
yes
Hey guys
So im doing the interion furntishing now and struggling with the stair orientation glitch.
I am unable to right click the stair when its located on the stage panel to get the disable counter placement.
Do you have any idea about what the problem could be?
is there a way to turn off an ability's glowy effects in gpose?
disable the action effects at the top
hey guys, i just got to idyllshire, i'm maxed on poetics and my main is a lvl 63 dancer with the starting gear, im wondering if i should buy new gear right now for dancer, wait or buy for another job?
just buy it now
alright thanks
Maybe grab the weapon? Just so you aren't wasting the poetics
Depends if you are even planning on levelling anything else in the near future
im gonna switch to reaper when i hit 70 on dancer, then after i max reaper i'll go back playing dancer
You'll be holding on to poetics for a long while if you wait to spend them on reaper. The 70 poetics vendors don't become available until you finish the base Stormblood MSQ.
also you get poetics like candy anyway
yeah, i think my main question now is should i buy for dancer or another job thats almost 60, considering dancer has decent starting gear
is this peak hours or something cause it says 221 players in que
That would be up to you. The upgrade from the level 60 job gear would only be 15 more ilvl. If your accessories are much lower (since the dancer quest doesn't provide them) then I would at least get those.
i've never seen it that high since before i bought the game
Also you'll be getting more poetics in post HW content. So I wouldn't worry about needing to save them.
yeah i think ill go for some accessories then
do i have to finish MSQ?
aah gotcha. No wonder
I think hard is part of the 
any mounts that are avaialble for level 50
Yes, the MSQ eventually make you do them
You can level a conjurer to level 30 for a unicorn. There's some you can buy with achievement certificates from Jonathas in Gridania.
There's also the cash shop ofc if you're willing to pay real money.
After you finish the 2.0 MSQ more options open up.
tyyy
There's also a free one you'll get automatically along the way.
If you really really want a mount, and are not on free trial, you can check marketboard
A handful of mounts are available for trades on Marketboard
There's also some mounts from PvP now that I think of it, since you can start PvP at level 30.
Don't forget gold saucer mounts
the achievement ones are easiest to get
you just got the game today and aleady level 46?
I am doing something wrong, I have a 14 Knight and 10 Pugilist, and Thaumaturge and 40 hours played
Have they changed the final MSQ quest?
Wdym by changed
In the 2.0 MSQ, yes.
they didnt change anything in EW
Ye i was playing on free trial @thick talon
i decided to get the game after reaching 50 @thick talon
Hi, as a drk, what accessories should I buy in idyllshire ? There are 3 types of them and it makes me doubting
Custodians is for tanks
Yeah just follow what you got for left side
they didnt change anything in the EW quests
Oh it looked like you were saying it in response to the 2.0 bit
Hey everyone. Hope you're all doing well
I'm brand new to the game and I think I'm in love. Overwhelmed but I do enjoy it so far
How long do you guys think this game will be around? I ask because I legit thought it came out last year LOL
i mean the director said he has plans for like 10 years
probably for atleast the next 10 years
and this game has been around since like 2013
for ARR at least
assuming theres no freak incident and the game just dies
Oh I see. Thank you all
If you grab two buddies, can you explorer mode alliance raids?
i mean it wouldn't be explorer mode specifically
I was a bit afraid of getting too involved and then it falls off in a few months
but you could probably unsync them yes. though not sure how easily ivalice/nier will be with only 2
the game has only been growing
Still on my free trial for rn
Btw what are exactly custom deliveries? And is there an order on how to go at them/what to do?
nope, it's got content for another year and a half and the staff has determined that they'll go on for way longer
custom deliveries are just weekly collectables
it's making SE a lot of money so there's extreme doubt for any backpedaling on that plan

ah, I wanted to explorer mode aglaia specifically. With return, can I go through the whole raid alone?
and no, there's no specific order atm because they all give the same amount of scrips/exp. when we get the new custom delivery npc she'll be better than the others
ya, you can return to the start and run thru alone after you've cleared with a group
but do keep in mind you are on a time limit
generally i only suggest maxing out the ranks of any character that you haven't yet, then delivering to the ones that give bonuses if everyone's maxed out
its 10mins? i think
unless you just want a title
What's everyone's favorite role?
all of them
healer
DPS, namely because I just get to hit buttons

I like tanks in all my rpg's so I'm waiting to see if thats the same here
tank cause having slap fights with the boss is fun
tanking dungeons is braindead and its alright
Why is this my reasoning too??? LOL
I mean in terms of aesthetics tanks do have a strong main character feel I guess?
So may be nice for the story
aggro management is mostly braindead outside of hard content, to which it is marginally less braindead but still intuitive
otherwise you're just using defensives and smacking the boss
plus yeah, it's a pretty easy role
yeah, i used to think i wanted to tank then i liked DPS enough to never go back
I have each role at 90 except tank
Also pugilists...
just know that you dont need to make new characters for them
you can just pick them up
on 1 character
Yeah that's what drew me
A friend explained it
Doing everything on one character is the dream
What's this?
How do I get mine to show up in that format?
brb thanks so much
don't think you can on trial, right? because you need Lodestone access
oh maybe not
yeah i think they don't do it for free trials
yo can you easily unsync tsukuyomi ex with a few ppl nowadays? dont know the mechanics
the only mechanics you need to know are meteors
well, moonlight too, probably
and the mechanic is put 2 of them on the big color and 1 on the small color in a C formation
but that's the same
thats basically it
good info ty!
Guys, need a bit of help. Is there a quick way to get my aetherpool stats to 99?
Is there a trick to it? I.e re-run certain floors? Solo?
you can duo at 90 it as long as you have a tank
it does get intense, and i had a PLD to heal me for certain mechs, but it's alright for the most part if you two both know what to do
okay ill try then
yeah. easiest thing to do would be to just join a PF for her, or try to get a group of friends to loot together at low numbers
but duo is fine if you really don't wanna take chances with people getting ur loot
is the easter event over
i forgot to spend my eggs
yes
oh my gOD my eggs
ended yesterday morning lmfao
OH NY GOD EVEN WORSE

They'll turn rotten in a year when next Easter event happens
You guys think I should wait out my free trial or just buy the game and be done with it?
Do floor 51-60 matched group runs and try to push to floor 100 if the queue is reasonably fast enough
that is really up to you. i got it early because i wanted to be able to trade, but it's objectively most optimal for your wallet to wait it out due to the fact that it's a subscription based game
if you don't really care and want full access to stuff, go for it
That depends on your financial situation and on how much you think you'll get peeved by the trial restrictions.
Social restrictions, but also lack of PvP and being unable to interact with the market board...
We don't pay your sub
Fair points
btw where does the ff11 event start?
How long does it take to complete the doman enclave if you get max point every week
12 weeks iirc. If you're donating the max allowed every week
I was expecting something like 30 weeks, thanks
anyone knows why Bowl of ember EX quest isnt showing? i did all other EX trials up to that point.
You did finish Titan EX right
I don't even have that quest. Urianger doesn't have anything for me
what is the difference between permits 1 2 and 3?
for housing
for the npcs, i mean
Visual look
I got sick of always having to check what all the NPCs look like before picking one, so I took pictures of all of them so that I (and other people, I guess) will never have to check again!

question, the serie glasses from pvp exist only as an accessory?
Hi, question here >.<
weapon or armor augment in hydatos? (first)
If you mean +2, armor
ye, I meant nero's glasses, aviable in pvp serie as fashion accessory
also thanks for the answer
It doesn't make a difference
Until you have eureka fragments just keep using your old shit
Not counting the kirin/vermillion stuff you can get on the pier
theres a shared model that are actual glasses if thats what you mean
!iglam shaded spectacles
oh, yeah, that
starting from zero probably stormblood's eureka
but if you've done one of each expansion you can prepare in advance for a lot of the steps, often farm out the required materials then go through the whole questline in an hour turning in prepared stuff, in that case i think ARR would be longest due to books requiring random fates and then light farm on top of that
do statics usually have their own discord server? i am making one but idk if i should make a whole discord server for it
yes
Either a discord server or at least a group chat
it can be a freshly made 1 text and 1 voice channel, or it can be 10 different text channels for schedule, strats, loot, chat, a public one for pugs you end up inviting on a random day etc, whatever you think you need
does anyone have an up to date level chart from 1- 80 after the stat squish? specifically for crafters but they should be the same as dow anyway
*looking for required EXP per level
strongly recommended to have your own discord for a static
not only is it a place to store resources for fights, it's also useful for replacing members and team management
not to mention keeping tabs on your logged parses and analyzing pain points if prog isn't going as quickly as expected
hey! i need some help, why wont it let me enter the lottery?
#lodestone-news-na for info on housing
It’s basically fucked and won’t be back until mid May
oh i see, thanks alot!
how do i stop the game level syncing me down for the single player parts of the story
You don’t
really
Story level is much more important than job level
Syncs are just a big part of FFXIV
oof i have a new least favourite game mechanic
Nothing like going from level 89 to 18 in leveling roulette
What's the fastest way to get white gatherer scrips?
Weekly custom deliveries. Outside of those, there isn’t much you can do but go for the old school grind.
is it okay to market for my static in this server? if so where can i do that?
Recruitment channels
as a lvl 35 drk what are the 2 or 3 best options to level up? ive gotten almost everything to 90 but im in pain now going through this all over again
do i just dungeon grind? does crystalline conflict reward good exp?
!faq altlvlguide
No to CC.
CC gives like... a fate worth of exp per match
not awful leveling if you find it fun
but not the most optimal
Check the recruitment channels like #603040914096783371
found it deep down in the list thaaanks
So how many days until the next lotto phase? All that update did was say it would fix the winners of the first round. I still need 25 mill for a large.
Mid May-ish.
That update said when they planned on releasing the fix as well.
They just gave a new update
They’ll tell us more as they get closer to a solution
Yeah, 8 days to fix. I just want them to keep delaying things.
based on their initial projected timeline of 8 business days, listed in the paragraph above
which is subject to change
given that they, again, want to ensure it never happens again
Is O3N still the way to farm armored tank mounts
Ye
cool just making sure they didnt update or anything
Projected for May 16. Approx two and a half weeks from now. Maintenance likely to take 8-10 hours to finish.
Could change but for now that’s what we got
So is stuff like the byakko extreme now soloable at level 90? I know I couldn't even duo Tsukuyomi before EW came out.
Tsu and Susano I think haven't been done yet
susano pretty much won't ever be solo'able
All other sb exs have been soloed
the mechanics make them impossible to solo.
thanks for the link btw
also; i know dancer technical finish wont stack with another dancers technical finish
and shield sambra wont stack with another r-dps' damage mitigation like bards troubador or mch tactician
what about the bards radiant finale and the dnc's technical finish? those still stack right?
Tsu Ex has been solo'd by BLU i thot
Ye
Different raid buffs stack
there any good videos/guides on classes for someone struggling to choose a secondary job? e.g. differences between, how many oGCD's, skil llevel etc
i have been playing black mage since very recently but im trying to figure out why would you not use fire/blizzard 3 over fire/blizzard 1? seems to me that on a time basis the 3 will deal more damage, and switching from astral to umbral and the other way around just happens more frequent
Omg I was just asking this question from friends
!faq blmleveling
ive been looking up many things online but i just cant find a proper answer
So apparently the reason is blizzard/fire 1 has less cooldown
cant really comment that much but i think its cause fire/ice 3 are for switching/occasionally procs in the event of the fire proc (ignition i think?) i know Weskalber has a guide on it
Faster and more spammable
its faster, but if you convert it over the damage for 3 is like the smallest bit more
BLM as a whole is kinda confusing on a account of the fact it gets random tools added when it levels up but the fire/ice 1 spells can be cast quickly
or so it seems to me
3 has 1 second longer cast time
Note the extremely long cast times for fire/blizz3
fir 1 can proc free fire 3s
They work out worse in terms of dps
instant fire 3s
Hence they are only used for switching and fire 3 procs
Might wanna do your math again then
Mana also
You don’t want to spend extra time in ice stance
What level does UWU sync you down to?
70
375
there's no new raid yet beside aglalia right?
I mean there’s the ultimate
yea no AR tho right
next ar isn't until 6.3.
Next 8 man tier is 6.2
aight thankss
I'm trying to import my crafting gear into TeamCraft, but when I paste my lodestone ID my GNB still shows up. I tried logging out as a WVR hoping profile would change.
Lodestone updates on its own time
^
IS THe ameliance custom deliveries in the game? havent been able to check
no
not until 6.15.
6.15 is when she will be a custom delivery npc
ahh ok ty
Hello and question and has any having trouble with this “sleep now in sapphire “ instance on ps4 and I have been doing this the 40th time
The fight
Some how it has taking a big hit but I have done this on a another server and long before endwalker and now I can’t stay healthy up or get enough health
Some how now is something different since it update ?
No, and they still say what attacks to use during the duty
But it is giving big hits and I getting too low on health
I know everything is the same but something is going on and I never had to do this many today
And aetherial aegis is your shield
Auto restoration is your heal
I am so fed up
I am using that but still getting hit hard
Even if I keep the shield up more longer
You can also dodge most of his stuff, are you doing that
Dodging but I’m still getting hit
And when I know I hit the health up it saps me fail still
I know I hit the heal in time
We beat the boss in FF14 quest Sleep Now in Sapphire. I show you how I do it. Thanks for watching! Leave me a comment if you want to see more FF videos.
They’re on PS4, if this doesn’t help just lower the difficulty
I did watch it but still I am not getting past it
I eve use the very easy but I don’t think it is any easier
Even ^
Okay then take 5 minutes to redo the practice because there’s something in the moveset you’re not doing
It's not a ps4 issue, I cleared that duty on ps4 normal mode 
i just finished the first main scenario quests, beat the ultima weapon and all
Duty is totally balanced, there’s a mechanic you’re missing.
but whats with the filler quests after that with no experience?
Post-ARR patch MSQ
That’s the patch quests, they’re not filler
Leading up to Heavensward.
Even when I get far away I am still getting hit
a bit of a background stuff im guessing?
They are the epilogue of ARR and prologue of Heavensward
Arr patches have multiple threads going on
Which end up setting up literally every expansion
They are not without meaning
ahh alright! thanks guys
I did this before on another sever long time ago but this is worse now
make sense
Aren't you meant to shield or something in that duty...
You’re missing a mechanic
Consult the guide that was posted if you’re having trouble
Especially if very easy isn’t helping
There is a shield action yeah
Which relic series?
Consolegames wiki has a fairly concise checklist/guide set up for the relics
care linking me?
Google “ff14 resistance weapon”
how do i fix this?
!faq xivlauncher
Try that
it's been about a year since i last did my eureka relic: you only need the class that picks up the weapon levelled in order to progress their specific relic, right?
as in if I want SAM relic but have a super decked out RDM I want to play, I can just grind on RDM, right?
does it work with steam accounts?
Yah
Yep
pog, ty
is the game down? It keeps saying there is an error on the launcher login window
so I assume yall are getting something like this too? my xivlauncher isnt working either
had same issue just a bit ago i threw myself enough times in and it work so it might be a launcher issue
yeah. same
Ye been gettin that
ahh. it's back up again
man as soon as a bitch about something it fixes itself. Sorry but idk what I did to fix it, I just checked the servers, went back, and it asked for a password

complain and SE shall hear
they want u to suffer 
should be able to do with bare min, can't think of any of them that have mechanics that require a lot of people
yes, at least 3 since you need one in each alliance. I don't think there's mechanics which require a specific group of people, since you should burn most of them down before mechs are a problem with Unsync
hmm
you can do ivalice with less than a full party so heavensward would definitely be a joke
the damage would be no issue, bosses will just be spongy by virtue of being designed for 24 people though
You may want at least one healer just because Diabolos will still have decently spicy autos, but it shouldn't be a hard limiter.
are c41 savage runs that trap?
varies
Ok how can you survive the big blast 💥
Are you still stuck on sapphire
Use the guide
You mostly have to learn to figure out what the game is telling you.
The fight isn't designed to lock you out of completion. It's only designed to challenge you.
It’s not a valid action to use for /micon
If you want a question mark icon there should be one in the “folder” that pops up when you click the macro’s icon when you have it selected in the macro menu
Removed actions can’t be used for /micon
Well it has been made to be very very very hard and no matter the damn mode
But never mind I will spend damn years to succeed
I’m done
It honestly just sounds like you're not killing it before the enrage floodray
i had to beat it on easy because i didn't realize how to deal with the line of bits lmao
Yeah but can’t hit hard enough to destroy it but I’m done talking
so what's your point
You want to sit in the damage boosting mode as much as possible and only switch to the guard mode when taking damage
Which again the guide would’ve mentioned
But I found out the sheild and speed uses too much ep which I am trying to master it
Ah, thanks!
you can do gathering collectables for normal deliveries but it's not really that efficient because most of them are timed nodes
I beat the sapphire weapon first time without trouble, the encounter is fairly designed with a decent degree of leeway for failure
i think there's also squadron buffs that can give you extra scrips too
You must be making a critical gameplay error
The guide that way provided has all the info so there’s nothing extra I can provide
Well not working with me
Watch it closely again
you're clearly missing something.
Maybe the net upload too slow
You also get dialogue prompts to help you
Might be my issue
Lyon the only thing I don’t like while fighting is the damn dialogue is on the middle of the screen which annoys me blocking my view of the mobs
Any way to fix that?
Micon has never worked for me on console
Hey everyone! I was wondering what's the best action if someone intentionally not playing during DF?
kick
Vote kick and then report them afterwards
Df?
Duty finder
duty finder
Maybe I was too slow, but it wouldn't let me initiate the kick during Porta Decumana.
Nope because important text is important
you cant vote kick when theres loot or in combat
Yeah kick is a better option and the same goes for afk too long as well
Said we were already engaged in battle, but they left when I stopped healing and called them out.
Kinda felt bad for the others, cause I forced a wipe.
Just do your part and keep requesting the kick
Rix, you can’t kick a guy if they already left
Or just leave and get another group for the DF
is there a place where i can see all the diffrent monk weapons and what they do
Auction board
They do the same thing? Give you stats
Best in terms of looks or best in terms of stats...
wym what they do
I'm just worried that I'll get in trouble for not playing and demanding the kick.
theres garland tools and gamerescape
Nah, you did it in response to a guy being rude to the group. It’s fine
I would leave the party and start another DF
Well, they thankfully left anyway. So we got a replacement and cleared.
Just wondering what proper procedure is next time it happens.
Thanks all!
Stop asking people to leave the party when someone else is griefing
If you leave, you're the one who eats the 30 mins penalty
you just initiate a vote kick
Not if you are in like longer than 15 minutes
Yeah you still do
i dont really know weapons in this game work. DO they have like special effects
if 10 mins passes you can leave
And you can leave w/o penalty
some of them
No you can't
like i said you can look at gamerescape
The first person who leaves will eat the 30 mins
Regardless of how long the duty has progressed
what is the main purpose of weapon
They have different visual effects not gameplay effects
Weapons like all gear, give you stats
its just gear
Stats make you strong
every thing effects and gets effected by stats?
Do weapons scale like dark souls
If you're the first to leave, you eat the penalty
gearing is linear
No
Second one refers to PF parties
what do you mean by that
Dude, it’s not complicated. Better stats = more damage
as you level up the numbers go up
its not that hard
just pick thing with bigger number
Level 50 gear -> Level 60 gear -> level 70 gear
Depends on stats like spell or cast speed?
Matched party = non full party queues through Duty Finder
so how do you pick between teo level; 50 weapons
!faq statmeme
If you're the first to ditch the duty finder party, you eat 30 mins penalty
The one with better stats
theres specific gear you get at level caps thats the best gear for that expansion, which you will know when you get there
The entire game is just “bigger number better”
Is there an FC submersible + airship guide? idk what the stats do
Has all the info for airship and submarine stuff
Owh thanks
Quick clarification: do you mean level or item level?
The answer is generally the same either way—you want the one with better stats—but if it's just level then higher item level always wins out (except in super niche, very rare endgame situations), and if it's the same item level then you start looking at things like crit/dh/det/etc.
But that’s just like a endgame optimization thing, not relevant at lvl 50
But to simplify the stats:
Speed is how fast they complete their voyage
Surveillance is loot quality AKA more rare loot
Retrieval is loot quantity AKA how much they get
Range is how far/many sectors they can do in a single trip
Favor is increased odds of looting a sector a 2nd time for more loot
Yep. I only make the comment because a lot of people get tripped up by "why does this gear say you need to be level 90 to equip it" when they're actually looking at a level 50 item level 90 artifact gear set, since that's the point in ARR when gear level and item level decouple.
How to relatively cheaply powerlevel desynth? (for each job)
To at least 400 I'd say
Would be nice to do more than just desynth dungeon drops, I wouldn't want it to take my whole life
Probably SHB/EW crafts you find the cheapest to make
For Alchemist there’s a furnishing called “Dishrack” that’s a LOT easier than desynth if books
Make sure u drink this i guess?
As for CUL, just buy like 200+ EW fish
Yep and also this item
!item bacon broth

Ok thank you
for crops like jute/fancy bird food/etc, when guides say a wilt time of 24 hours, does that mean that it will wilt if not touched for 24 hours OR does it mean 24 hours after it turns purple?
Why is the game not lettin gme place waymarkers during battle? I've seen peopel do it before
You can't do it during battle anymore
Is there a way to access the other emotes in portrait mode for the Adventure plate? I want to eat my egg
only specific emotes
Thanks
SE disabled placement during combat as it was exploited by players to have plug-ins do it for them on the fly
24h after purple
uhm all the lower level poetics weapon is useless once i reached the next tier right? i toss em away right?
yes
If your class can equip them then yeah they useless.
you can trade them in for seals with your grand company
oh shit nice
thank you! I have some jute in but I'm feeling the need to go to bed early, I feel like crap so I wanted to get to sleep. just didn't want to risk them dying because I did so
what's the ending theme in Endwalker? Is it Flow? There are so many good songs I don't know which one is the main end theme similar to Dragonsong or Tomorrow and Tomorrow
you could just look it up on youtube
flow is the calm female singer one
footfalls is the male + fem singer rock song
which is the main theme
idk if you mean like the credits song or something tho
is there a way to disable targeting w/ right click specifically
I've never done an Ultimate, or even a Savage. What's the best place to start working my way up to Ultimates?
Or what's the best Ultimate to have as my first?
do an EX
you need to beat savage to unlock ultimates anyways
EX is between casual content and savage content
i would start with EX 3 in endwalker since more people are doing that now
Gotcha. I'll do that when I get through ShB and EW.
So I'm reading that the primary reason they disabled waymarks during battle was due to cheating in ultimate fights... Feel like they could have just fixed that by only disabling them for those fights but okay...
And leave people completely helpless? Not on your life
No they’re not, literally everyone in the current Ult is using markers
They just set it beforehand
Oh well of course I didn't mean disable markers completely in Ultimates.
Just disable them during combat as it is now.
But keep it around in combat for everywhere else.
btw i did watch that before you posted lol
That’d just be wasting time but whatever
Additionally, there are often markers built into the arena floor by the developers, and if you can spot them and figure out how to use them then you can significantly decrease your dependence on waypoint markers.
And in any fight with multiple phases, you can adjust markers if you wish because you're not in combat until you pull the new phase boss.
Has anyone cleared ultimate thordan?
No one is "completely helpess".
Course not
How long could it take
When there is a world first clear, there will be a big hullabaloo
earliest would be tomorrow
Maybe another day give or take till TPS clears
if youre not tps probably ~6 days
trying to fix my expanding hotbars in pvp area, why does it say "the command /hotbar display 9 on/off is unavailable at this time"
because "pvphotbar" isn't a "hotbar"
so is there any way to modify my macro so that it does work in the pvp area? for like switching classes
my original macro is copying hotbars from CNJ as the expanding hotbars
what macro
if 2 dancers dance partner someone wil lthe 5% damage boost stack
you cant be a class in pvp, so no
if youre trying to switch classes why dont you just put the classes on your hotbar
i believe so
cause i already have collapsing hotbars set up
Believe not actually
but 2 technical finishes wont stack?
i mean 2 dancers can dnc partner 1 person
Well more like the standard finish effect wont stack
okay yeah the 5% wont stack
@remote lintel if 2 dancers dance partner the same person, it DOESN'T stack
makes sense
It stacks if 2 dancers dance partner each other
oh interesting
or like in the pvp area i can't even use my macro "/hotbar display 9 [on/off]" to turn on/hide my hotbar that i have?
because pvp hotbars are different than regular hotbars
The buff you give yourself and the buff you give your dance partner are 2 different things, those stack with each other
so is there any way to turn them on/off?
no because its a /pvphotbar
use /pvphotbar
thank you
What’s the best way to get umbrite and crystal sand
you can only get umbrite with poetics
craft/gather scrips for sand
what gear should I get for the newest dungeon and if I want to do ex stuff on samurai?
As sch, I dont have anywhere near bis but I figured I should throw in melds for p1s, what materia should I use?
!faq balance
if you're in classical you're good
the highest ilvl you can
even if it lowers my stats?
When does the garo pvp event end?
like classical secutor's lorica is 20 iLevels up, but -20 in every stat across the board
fair pvp?
higher ilvl shouldnt lower your stats 
Sorry typo
unless youre using NQ crafted gear
im using the level 90 story gear
yeah HQ classical is a clear upgrade
never gave us a date
Kk
also you can augment it to 590
with materia?
no, by trading it
tomestones iirc
you trade gear for certificate
buy rain with aphorism
youre capped on astronomy??
i was gonna say
yeah lol ive been unable to get tomestones for a bit since I havent done msq so im way behind
but you get em from roulettes if you use a lvl 90 and pvp and lvl 90 content
oh you do?
do textures usually look this low or does it get better past ARR zones
7.0 please look forward to it 
thats just how the game is
@pure pecan in the previous live letter
game been unplayable cuz grass keeps flickering been killing my eyes
Yoshi-P gave us a teaser on their plan to do graphical improvement to the game
i mean if its flickering then check your object number setting
and object distance
Mainly on the shader, material, lightning, and texture end
in the graphics settings in system config
Please take note that this won't be a thing until much later
i have all my graphics settings on max
But it is a thing they are currently working on
think its just the aliasing thats bothering me
thats good
For the time being, you just have to tolerate this
i havent had my grass flicker in and out 
might be my monitor 🤷♂️
i guess double check that object distance isnt set to something really short
doesnt show up for me
How do I get a fate to spawn? Trying to do some daily hunts
In a non-eureka zone, they spawn on their own after a couple of minutes.
Anyone have a link to maps with the reduced aether locations? I started a new character to have fun running through the entire game again, but I seem to be wasting a LOT of time going to the old locations and there's nothing there.
FATES just spawn. There's nothing you can do to generate them aside from just wait.
you can just use your compass
Yeah, where did they put that? It's not obvious.
Collections
duty>collection
put it on ya bar
Ahso. Arigato.
Just did. Thanks!
LOL... I forget how to measure yalms.
just spam it until the direction changes
In Amh Araeng. It's pointing me to parts of the map I haven't unlocked yet (and not for a long time).
welp, story it is. that's just how it be
Yeppers.
I just ran through HW and Stormblood to ALL the old locations to unlock flying there. Was hoping someone had updated a locations map online for Shadowbringers to make it easier. Compass it is I guess.
If you really want an external map, https://www.thegamer.com/final-fantasy-14-xiv-every-aether-current-guide/ has up-to-date maps and coordinates.
They're not 100% precise (especially the map) so you might still need to aether compass near the location. The quest current list is also pretty meh.
That helps. Since I already pretty much have muscle memory of the exact locations from previous playthroughs, this will help make it easy.
Seems like they've trimmed a few msq quests here and there out of HW and Stormblood like they did with ARR. It felt weird on this new playthrough.
Or am I crazy. LOL... don't answer that.
no trims
Anyone on primal bored and care to help me level some classes? (60+ at the moment)
Rats, had a maxed toon on Primal, but just transferred to Materia for giggles.
not that kind of help channel
Here's a different question: Anyone here of a relatively exact date of when the lottery system will be reinstated? Just came to Sophia and all housing zones are pretty much sitting completely empty.
18 of may
OF COURSE I'll be on the road on vacation then. *cries
AND I finally have 20M for a medium house! Double rats.
Is there a Materia > Sophia subchannel here? I've been waiting literally three days to finish up the Manderville quest line with Kugane Ohashi and haven't yet landed a group.
Queueing is crossworld so that wouldn’t even matter much, use #recruitment-materia or PF
Crossworld for Materia, yes. But it's a low pop server overall. Can't seem to spawn a 8 man group here.
U can solo kugane ohashi on a 90 warrior easily
Sadly, new character and she's only 72 BM.
Not everyone does Hildibrand
True that. He IS an acquired taste. 😄
But the dance emote rewards are great.
Plus hitting Kugane Ohashi helps with your Wondrous Tails.
Irrelevant
Most just do 1 duty and use refresh points to only do that duty or do all the easy duties and refresh the arr trial one 
Not irrelevant. Strong word that. All trials help with it. And like I said, Yojimbo is a fun fight.
Yes.
All trials help.
But why would you bother doing Yojimbo when you can kill Garuda in 30s 
why do garuda when ultima weapon ex is like 15s
Being generous
Not on the page 😗

Hello guys
I want to ask a question about the free trial
I heard that you can play the game on free trial forever until you buy the game then you will have to pay for game time/monthly sub
is that true? does it also work on steam?
if it works I'm thinking about deleting my FFxiv account and make it again so I can play the free trial
I haven't done that much except speedrunning realmreborn so I don't mind buying the game again later
I cant found the leve quest area of abite sketchy leve
if you buy you're locked out of the FT forever on that account
you need new email to create new account
So I am not sure what I missed since its part of the ar relic leve quest
is it a GC or normal levequest
those are different NPCs
normal
is it not possible to delete my account?
It is, but you’d have to buy the game again later
@modest igloo I am at the correct npc but it doesnt show the leve quest for some reason
then do one and re-roll them after you complete it
might take a few but never took more than 2 for me
wait you can reroll a levequest?
I mean they have to replace the complete ones don’t they
I keep getting focused and murdered when I get into a fight in PVP. The rest of the enemy team seems occupied, but the second I get in they all zero in on me like they have psychic fucking powers. What am I doing wrong?
what class are you
samurais lb is no joke and they will kill you
I tried other classes, but they just seemed either as likely to get focused or just... not fun
The two fastest ways to deal with a Samurai is to shut it down early on the front end so it can't do anything, or completely ignore it so it can't capitalise on its defensive buff/LB interaction.
mch was just disappointing
depends what class they will focus on and kill
sounds more playstyle than job
mch is a easy target in pvp
Also be mindful of your positioning. If you overextend or your team shifts without you noticing, it's very easy to get caught out and bursted down.
well it's pvp ._.
unless its my team. I put a marker right on the whm and nobody fucking touches them.
no matter what class you play, if you get focused on, you'll die regardless
but it's matter or what can you get from getting focused on
do you waste their time for chasing you around, distracting them from getting objectives
it's not about killing, CC is about pushing the crystal into the enemy base
Yeeup
I'm typically the one person even trying to stay on the crystal
either pushing it or kicking someone off
well we gotta beware of the rules that yoshi p apply about pvp aka cc
no salt or anything offended
To some extent it’s about killing. You have to play around the objective and not just tunnel it
I mean, it is about killing, as well. Tying up enemy players off-point is an effective strategy if you can maintain and they're morons for not disengaging. But it's also equally viable to attempt to stagger the enemy team's respawns out so that their ability to contest point is limited to charging in and slamming Guard, and if you can disrupt that and not lose any of your own, then you have easy pushing.
Anyone know where I could find someone to make some art for me?
Wipe enemy team, push a bit, get some distance, possibly withdraw
Twitter.
Have to balance a few different considerations, it’s not just about following simple rules of thumb
You develop an instinct for it
whats the most effecient way to lvl desynth? armor and gsm
Summoner, for example, can do devastating area damage with summons, so if/when you see the LB going out, making that player a priority target is the fastest way to get Bahamut off the field.
But as a Summoner, being aware that you're making yourself a target will let you start looking for good timings to throw LBs out—like outside of enemy burst windows (which you can start to sense a pattern to) or with enough team cover.
Idk if this the right place to ask, but is it still possible to obtain elemental armor? and if so where do I need to go to start/how do i start. I checked youtube but everything appears outdated.
Yes, YouTube guides should largely still apply
Do eureka weapon up until Pyros
To be able to purchase elemental armour, you'll need to make it to Pyros, have your Pagos weapon and unlock 50 logogram actions
To upgrade it to elemental armour +1 and get the different coloured glow, you need to reach Hydatos, have your eureka weapon upgraded to at least a Pyros weapon, and unlock all the remaining logogram actions
Look around for Eurekan Academy discord, they have every single thing imaginable there
It's like months of work if you're not grinding. I saw some bs post on Reddit about how it was only 60 hours to get the armor.
does anyone know where lyse is after endwalker?
Not found in open world
what's a fun class I can play in the free trial? I've been playing with monk since I started and I really hate it
I know the idea of a "fun class" is subjective but just give me your opinions
I find Whm fun
Pick all of em up
In the long run of course, but for now what should I play?
nin quest is quite good, plus you can summon bunny
I want to max one class at a time
I like white mage
that's the healer, correct?
it's very slow, and the animations seem really unimpressive
it isn't visually appealing to me
Oh monk is actually like one of the fastest classes iirc
maybe later in the subscription version it gets better
but right now it feels so bad to play 😭
Most jobs feel incomplete below 60
rip
so I don't really have much of a choice then do I?
if my problem is the feeling of it being incomplete I can't do much other than buy the game
which I do want to do
but I'm too broke
i think both SMN and BLM at 60 is quite similar to their 90
how do you unstable your choco bo?
Summoner and scholar are fun in lower levels i think
Go to ur estate stable
i went to my stable but didnt see an option for that
I see
that's why i'm here
Do u have it summoned rn
i can't summon it bec it's in the stable
beware that SMN is stupidly easy and BLM require a lot of practice to just play the job right, not to mention master
Ohh destable
so one is really easy and one is really hard 😔
"tend to your chocobo" then "fetch" iirc
so i actually have to tend first before i can fetch?
what do you mean by optimizing?
i only have these options
I'm still pretty new to FFXIV, so I don't have much knowledge about the game
do you mean like specific gear? or like skills and stats
oh no stats are connected to gear
BLM is notoriously funky
gear in this game is quite straight forward, except on the max level but you are far far away from it
yeah, tend just goes to a list of options, one of them should be fetch
for changing its rotation every 10-15 levels
ah.. thank you
just higher main stats then you choose it
woah
!faq blmleveling
it does get better now and since you are free trial, 1-60 total number of change is like 3
I'm at level 56 currently
doing those leveling quests and main story scenarios everyday
You will have to level alt classes from 1 anyway
oh
oh shit
uhhhh
wait I don't have any more main quests
how will I level
w
what
Hunting log will give you decent exp to start. It shouldn't take too long to reach level 15 to start running dungeons. All jobs lower level than your highest get an innate +100% exp bonus. Makes it easy to level alt classes.
Dungeons + daily levelling roulette
how to track B rank hunt targets in EW?
ah ok
you dont track those, just flying around the map
Your text log will give you a notification when you get near your mark.
b ranks respawn a few seconds after they're killed
Got it. thanks!
Are u on the same world
so my main mitigs for sage is euk prog + holos or kerachole right?
this should be click every raid wides?
Both have to be on the same world, and the invitee cannot be in a duty
Not sure about friend list, but right click in party list doesn't work for me
Have to search the invitee up in Player Search
Has desu been cleared yet?
No, you’ll know when it’s cleared
As far as we know, no. Although Thoughts Per Second seems to be the furthest.
Is he trying to add you to a linkshell?
You can only add members of your homeworld to a linkshell
Crossworld linkshells are the one that works across the whole DC
If you both have different homeworld, your friend needs to set up a crossworld linkshell

why is the hardest part abt glamour always shoes
T-T theres no good shoes in this game i stf

depends on what you're looking for
Can you trade ultimate weapons in game?
No
so i have a question about the lvl 54 dragoon trait "blood of the dragon"
does it do anything cause all it says is it upgrades potency of jump to 320
but its already 320 at base
unless im reading it wrong
when the trait upgrades an action, it also updates the tooltip
To see it change back
If you’re below 54, it’ll be the previous potency
well yeah but i dont have the ability yet
-
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.
there's also a non-zero change it just does Nothing because you used to have access to the Job Gauge at 54 before they changed how Life of the Dragon works
in the Waking Sands. You need to have finished the 2.0 MSQ.
