I don't think it scale up to 90
I think it remains decent
But I could be wrong on that
I see
i should really unlock bozja...finishing up ivalice, which iirc is a pre-req?
funny enough ill basically have all classes at 80 before i unlock bozja
im not looking forward to running the eureka/bozja instances (DR, CLL, etc)
heard theyre pretty dead these days
btw, hows applying a glam of an item that takes multiple parts work? like using a piece that is both head and chest? does it only apply to the chest, but visually displays over both?
You can’t overwrite the multi piece
i mean using the multi to overwrite, not as the base piece to put glam on
Then it takes priority
kk
Like the Omega outfit glams over all of the body/hands/legs/feet
ok thats what i figured
Is there any real advantage to full-screen over borderless windowed?
no
fullscreen will probably give you more fps since your computer is focused on it
but the downside is that alt tabbing out is a bitch
but its not really enough fps to matter
So full screen it
Is this hair only on bun boys?
do i have to be the class I want the Anima weapon for to get the wind fire etc crystals? Or could I get that farming fates with any class?
Any class will work
If a step needs you as that class, it usually tells you and also wants the relic equipped
Pretty sure it’s exclusive to them
Wow they get to be shorter and have better hair. Greatttt
Hello, where can I find the guide on how to exchange Lvl 90 crafted gear using Poetics ?
I mean upgrade lvl 90 crafted gear
It doesn’t use poetics
It uses aphorism
Poetics is only for old expansion stuff
Current expansion things use the 2 level cap tomestones, which are currently Aphorism and Astronomy
anyone know what the fastest way to level Reaper is?
dungeons, fates, roulettes, bit of bozja/zadnor
ah, that's what I've been doing
Pretty much what you’d do with any job
bozja is really draining to do
may I know where can I find the guide on how to exchange ? I have no idea.
you cannot exchange poetics for aphorism
I mean upgrade lvl 90 crafted gear using Aphorism
i saw it before the guide, but forgot where is it
You just go to Radz, and exchange from a vendor in the left hall
Go to the npc in Radz > trade gear in for certificates > buy the rain with aphorisms > buy piece
My Gear currently has Materia, if I upgrade it using Aphorism, will my Materia gone ?
Yes
You did buy HQ right
Cause you're trading it in
awww
need to take it back before upgrade then
Ehh, the 590 stats are better than 580 melded so whatevs
You can just get more materia after all
So I have a question. My friend is doing a challenge run where she plays as much content as possible without any help or interaction from players. She is stuck on Titan (Hard) right now and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to bypass or get past the gaol debuff phase solo?
Kill it faster to skip the gaol
How do I find the completed anima quests in my journal
Nah they changed that a while ago
It works like the extreme one now where it does a lot of damage to you if it doesn’t die
Should be somewhere in the 4th category of quests
how big of a party would I need to do extreme storm blood trials unsynced?
3 or 4 but more people goes faster
for zodiak weapons can I just put the wep on at the very end like the anima ones?
ah alright thanks
4 people is enough for most of them mechanics wise
if im a tank, and my friend who is a dps and party lead queues for a roulette giving the tank bonus. do i receive the bonus?
For the animus/light step you need it equipped when you complete the duty AKA kill the final boss with it on
light step for zodiark?
Yes, your friend doesn’t tho
what if the bonus changes to dps after we queued up. would they receive the bonus too? or its locked in once queued to my tank bonus
Then you’ll both get it
!faq anima
thank you!
On que and on entry
and is it true if you queue for a roulette with a full party, you wouldnt receive the bonus? (like if im a tank, queueing under tank bonus)
yes as you aren't helping anyone queue
thanks everyone
Ok so like, how does fishing level, stats, and bait interact to determine what you catch? If I'm going atfter a level 20 fish, do I need to have level 20 gear and level 20 bait? So confused!
Gathering determines what you can catch
Perception is the size
Gp to use skills
And the bait...?
I believe your fishing log notes bait preferences after you catch a fish
Figuring out bait to use is guesswork for the most part, at least for the base game zones
Just make sure you’re using the right type (fresh water/salt water/sand fishing)
Or use the Versatile lure and it works everywhere
Right-click the top part to make it bigger
You can do that for all windows that don’t have a dedicated place in the hud layout
Oh because it was at fucking 80% for some reason
It won’t let me accept relic quest “future proof” bcz I don’t have Cane of the white tsar, what quest do I do to get it?
Is the chocobo/chicken outfit dyeable?
Chicken yes, chocobo I doubt
Could anyone assist me in chocobo breeding. I want to make sure I can get the stats I'm looking for if possible for racing.
when can i unlock MCH?
When you get access to ishgard in heavensward
so still far since i'm still at lv42 main quest?
Very
@half canopy this is the sand step, go to idyllshire, talk to ulan
The rest of Base arr + 80 quests to hit heavensward
oof, thanks
anyone wanna help do memoria misera extreme?
Just make a PF
Unfortunately, this is not an LFG channel.
Recruitment channels
sounds good thanks
uhh i've just cleared puppet bunker, should i stop progressing nier raids to avoid spoiling myself if i intend to play replicant and automata some time in the future?
my friend told me that if i sell stuff i can rank our fc
but do i have to sell it anywhere in particular or
Is there any way to watch chocobo races?
is it possible to skip adds on ||shinyru|| extreme unsynced?
You're assuming the games have a semblance of a coherent story to be spoiled over
Ngl you won’t remember half the stuff
nier has a coherent-ish story. the raids are just greatest hits and references
No, nothing is really spoilery.
It's basically "suddenly Nier was in FF14! why? don't think about it, just pretend it's fine!"
It's also kind of ... bland in execution, storywise, so I'd just keep going with it and finish unlocking the content.
Is RDM a pretty fun job? I know the fun is very subjective but wanna try some fun jobs that are considered the most fun by general consensus.
there will be no general consensus
As you say fun is subjective, but it's not as controversial in terms love/hate as some other jobs.
I see. Thx
my inventory item positions are inconsistent between my PC and my laptop when i use the character/setting data upload. anyone know if there is a way to sync those up? i like to order my stuff in a custom way that isnt just the sort button
I got a question about duty finder. If I select all langauges do I get put into all servers*
You're already qued with all servers in your data centre
are glowsticks buy with cash or ingame?
Cash
dam
Old event rewards
late: as said earlier, no general consensus because people will always not like jobs for specific reasons but i personally find it fun and intuitive
i'd pick it up if you're already considering
What weapon is this, & how can you get it?
is this a player character or npc? i cant seem to find this hairstyle?
thats a mod
aah damn
Moonward Rapier for aphorism tomestones
So, people use a program to play instruments in game right? Like some sort of a midi translator?
The entry fee is 10.99 eur for 1 month in 2 months its 21.98 eur But the game card time for 60 days is £17.98
is it cheapter ?
im kinda missed up
No
It’s exactly the price for 2 standard sub months
Look at the currency, real close
This isn’t euros
wah
The game time card is pounds
!faq subpriceeu
Like I said
how can i change it to eur
Got it. Thank you. I will try RDM.
is it a bug that the portraits keep resetting for pvp?
The feature is still considered in beta
But it shouldn’t reset as long as you’re not changing anything about your character or glam
Including like toggling show/hide weapon or visor or something
Link your instants to your gearsets and it should be fine
As long as you don't change said shit
If anything about your character doesn’t match your saved instant portrait it won’t work
where do people find groups for CLL in bozja? I need to do it for a quest
I couldn't do Delubrum Reginae because there were just two of us. lol
#resources or just recruit guys in bozja
anyone knows what's the value used for disabling ex/pet hotbar?
/hotbar display (?)
Is learning multiple different openers for a class strictly necessary to successfully raid? I've already cleared the tier but thought I'd have some fun on alt jobs but trying to remember 5 different openers depending on the fight sounds like a hassle.
multiple openers are only important for optimisation afaik … general openers are enough for … general raiding
though specific openers to give you movement at crucial times are nice to remember if you play one of those jobs
it should be under /hud command, but i dont see it listed in the help text, so either they forgot to include it in the help text or it's not possible
Just go with the general
or look it up shortly before
the only thing that really changes is the opener and timings of things coming back from CD
What's the new recommended stats for DoL in the diadem to hit all bonuses?
guys which race should i reroll to
what does "you cannot place any more items" mean? a limit on how many items per person?
any, its only cosmetic the 3/4 different stat points doesn't matter in the long run when you have like 3000 of a stat
i know i am just indecisive 😦
certified fantasia adict
i cannot quit when i want to
help
are you doin housing?
I'm curious, are there any EU players playing on NA data centers around? How responsive is the game for you?
yes, was trying to place a bench
I feel as though this situation had been a major issue with my gameplay for years on end and was looking into a VPN to potentially fix it
then yes its normal you can place only place a limited number of items outside and inside
small: 200 pieces of furniture inside / 20 in the yard max
medium: 300 pieces of furniture inside / 30 in the yard max
oh i see it's the area that's full, not that i'm personally limited. got it! thanks
large: 400 pieces of furniture inside / 40 in the yard max
housing/furniture is such a huge aspect of the game that i'm intimidated to learn much about 😒
Thankfully it's mainly fun content so you can take all your leisure learning the bits and bobs
what level is pyros region?
35-50
underwater, look for some lamps/lights, they guide you in
ty \o/
until next patch
6.2?
6.2 will prolly be sepihorot unreal
Oh
ye next major patch
it was gonna be 6.1 but devs went "hey we're already reworking ultima lets make it the unreal"
Trying to get that 50 faux hollow title, but 25 weeks to get it seems like i'll be passing through some seasons
Achievement is obtained from doing the Faux Hollows 50 times
Note that it has to be the puzzle, and not the unreal trial (as i've learnt the hard way)
you can't actually gather hq mats anymore, so does la noscean topsoil do...anything now?
Yes, gardening != gathering
You can still grow hq
They’ve always been quite useless though
Yeah, between that and the fact that shroud soil only seems to impact...what, like the elemental shards?? only thanalan seems useful?
Why isn't The Final Day (Extreme) showing up in my Duty Finder? The Minstrel in Sharlayan also isn't giving any blue quests anymore.
Ohhh
hope you know what you're doing 
I don't. queues for EX3
bozja earring is a straight up damage upgrade over any other earring you can wear there, right?

it has haste+3
I want to reply to other tells to players in another worlds rebound, how can I reply to people in other worlds not using ALT + R?
/ r
like /p for party, /s for say, /sh for shout, usually the first letter is sufficient
what crafter that can desynth weapons?
i think all except CUL, read the weapon description, it will tell you both the class and lvl requirement to desynth it
ohh damn, thoughts its like GSM for accesoriess
Cause it is
For some of them
Goldsmith can break certain accessories and some weapons
Namely iirc Ast, Whm, Rdm and Blm
But it varies per wep sometimes so
Just level them all
so i was checking out that desynth extreme weaps are good money making gil coz peeps just passing on mount farms
so i need to be omnicrafter for this ?
no
but you will instead need to funnel money into leveling desynth instead for a higher chance at getting the mats
If you get your crafters to 30 you can desynth everything, but it won't be terribly effective in terms of money-making until you get the desynth levels up to par.
yeah its just peaked my attention for money making haha
If you wanted to level that one by one, blacksmithing has the most weapon types by far, so probably focus on that first.
ohh this what im looking for
i only got CUl for tsai tea, GSM and armorer
all 90
hmm, it's kind of a waste you dont level both ARM and BSM, they share too many materials
It's only up to 30 anyway but yes, agreed. 🙂
ohh its just the doh class i lvl, nothing much thought about it
wait so you dont need to max lvl crafter for desynth lvl to up?
No, you just need to desynth a lot of items to get your desynth level for that job up.
Desynth levels individually from jobs
A lot a lot of items.
yeah i have no prob buying things from npc/mb
im just lazy
so lvl 30 is enough for all?
Ya
i just desynth what i craft, recover some shard
nayss
I'm not sure if buying items to level your desynth is an actual good investment though, you'd have to do the math. 😂
I just greed on each dungeon i do and desynth it all
my honest gillionaire is peaking
theres a guide on the net
cheap ones
iny my server extreme mats
sells pricy
check the balance discord for it
!faq balance
thank you
alright update on the stuff I posted yesterday
I got my Japanese Endwalker complete edition purchase refunded by Steam
but
I can only change my Steam account region once every 3 months, and I changed it to Japan like two weeks ago
so I can't go back to the US store and buy the game there
and I also can't buy it directly through Square enix because since my account is on Steam it just redirects me there
so.... I guess my only options are start over in Japan and lose 100 hours of free trial progress, or wait 3 months to buy it on the US store and then be stuck in the US store for 3 more months afterward
it is ridiculous that there is no way whatsoever to change my square enix account region or activate a key purchased in Japan on my account just because it's an NA account
What are bicolor gemstone used for
vendors in shadowbringers and endwalker zones that sell monster drops (crafting mats) and some exclusive items like TT cards, minions, riding maps
though you need higher shared fate ranks for most of the non-monster drop stuff
Thanks!!!
the only way to get seal for new GC character to upgrade rank is running FATE?
and leveling roulettle?
that is for lower rank, and you should do the GC hunt as well
gc hunt, the roulettes, and daily turn ins
abandoned the coils questline well over a year ago and I can't figure out where to find the quest I need. There's nothing in waking sands, nothing in Western Thalnar and I can't find anything in the shroud zone. I got all binding coil unlocked and all second coil unlocked.
did you finish turn 4 of the second coil?
coils are very important
In that case just finish the last coil you can enter and you'll probably get the next part.
Second coil turn 4 is a tricky solo, probably the hardest one. If you're not 80+ with decent dps you might need some help.
got a few at 90
will try that
But yeah, for coils you just have to finish the last coil to continue the quest. May still want to do them in order to see everything though. Especially the final set.
I have a full set of level 580 classical gear, what can I do to upgrade it?
radz at han left hallway, 2nd vendor on the right. she has all the menus to see what ya need to do
is it like the rain exchange with the 500 gear in shadowbringers?
that did it ty
arr quests are fun 
Hey, a question on multi-target Gladiator DPS. Say I want to slay a group of enemies I pulled quickly. Would it be faster to:
-
Spam the spin AoE or
-
Spin at the start, target a pulled enemy, perform a combo, and spin after each combo rotation while targeting another enemy after the main target dies?
spam aoe
could depend on the number of targets but usually spam aoe is the way to go
only use single target at boss or single mobs
Aye. I couldn’t tell what was more economical DPS-wise. Thank ya both!
how to get chocobo companion? I'm lv30, and do the GC chocobo quest to get the mount
!faq mount
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
I mean, the one that fight with you
still need to do this first
!faq companion
You can unlock the ability to have your chocobo also be an overworld party member and fight alongside you when you reach level 30 and have completed the quest My Feisty Little Chocobo . As the tutorial states, you do need to feed your bird gysahl greens in order to summon them. Click here for a list of npcs that sell them.
What trees do spec into for my chocobo?
The typically recommended chocobo skill point allocation is to get 4 ranks into the healing tree for choco cure, followed by maxing out the DPS tree. The tank tree does not allow your chicken to gain enough enmity to surpass your own output, so its shelved for last. You can eventually max out every tree, though to level your chocobo past rank 10 you will need Thavnairian Onions
is there a guide to how to unlock all ew content? i.e. raid, dungeons
!faq contentunlock
thank you
Aside from being a SCH/ARC/SMN - are there any book related emotes? ballroom dancing..
For a non Book class..
The /read emote
Ah thank you, sorry not subbed rn - this would be available on the MB right?
yes you can get it from the marketboard
or for 1800 skybuilder scrips
I finally decided to do the Bahamut raids, so I finished Binding coil of Bahamut turn 5, how do I start the second coil of Bahamut turn 1? The wiki said it starts in North Shroud, but I'm not seeing the quest?
Thx for everyone! I don't craft so MB it is!
iirc should start in the waking sands again
Forgot that place even existed, lemme check
It does too, tyvm
The ARR cutscenes look really janky after playing ShB lol
Any ETA for 6.15 and 6.18?
hello is there a macro, where you can act as guard that patrol the fc house?
No
You can't move with macros, for obvious reasons
you're just gonna have to walk manually
.
true roleplaying lmao
yeah thought so
When will the second housing lottery be?
#lodestone-news-na for updates
can you solo stormblood ex trials nowadays?
And Susanoo never
ok I see
Susanoo and tsuko can't be soloed yet
tsuku can be soloed afaik
but it's too darn tight on the nightbloom add phase
and DRK can solo lakshmi aswelll (pre 6.1)
does the Trials Duty Roulette include extreme ones?
thanks, also does having the higher-end gear help clear lower level dungeons and alliance raids faster while synced?
Only mentor roulette does, and mentors will hate you for queuing EXs
Yes, because unless stated otherwise you will sync to the maximum gear level of 135/275/405/525 respectively
*at 50/60/70/80
*in between yes you're still subject to gear level sync but the math is weird due to the access of item level above the actual level
what's the timing on rescue to animation cancel LB3?
is it once cast finishes, or can it be a little early, like a slidecast?
Once the cast finishes
535 for that last one
yeah that
yo how do i transfer my PS4 acc to PC?
Do i have to buy the expansions all over again for windows?
Yes, you have to buy everything on the new license
???
Complete edition is $60
does complete include EW?
Well duh, it’s complete
It wouldn't be very complete if it didn't.
o
it's only your account requiring to purchase the game back from arr till EW
and yes, it includes EW
you can see it on the mogstation,
so like I've till EW on my PS4
if i transfer to PC those will be obsolete qnd I've to get the complete version for windows
after i transfer to PC. is it possible to play both on PS4 and PC since ive expansion for both PC and PS4?
You can’t transfer to PC if you don’t own the game there
no no say I've the complete edition on PC. then i do own the game on PC, but i also have expansions on PS4 do i play on both platforms or is that whichever platform i transfer to, i can only play on that platform specifically.
you can play on both PC & PS4 if your account has both licenses
because the codes are linked to your account
kinda like destiny 2 now that i think about it
You get the 30 days as per standard
Then you have to pay
Yes
nice
Does the LB3 buff in The Porta Decumana refill all 3 bars if you already used LB1 beforehand?
I think so
It's just story lb3 so they tend to give you a freebie
Especially since this one's illegal
Run it with duty support and science if you want
do you need to keep subbed to the premium companion app to keep those unlockable assets or are they yours for good after you get them?
Does anyone know the requirements for the new FFXI event? Is there an MSQ requirement?
should be the usual of being level 15+ i think?
it should be written on the lodestone, sec
i think you need lvl 15 msq for it
The quest is lvl 30 I think. I checked the event page, but it didn't mention anything.
and it goes to some lvl 30 zones ye
nevermind it's level 30
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/08876212b30/
So I just need to be lvl 30?

most of the seasonal events aren't linked to some MSQ progression
except (i think) the FFXV event?
AND enough msq progress to access all arr zones
level 15 is the bare minimum to visit all ARR zones afaik
that's when you unlock the airship, therefore the 3 main zones
Yeah but just being level 15 without the msq progress gets you notbing
You need to do lvl 15 msq and then some
you need airship access and that's it
Tldr: if you can put in some good hours in the weekend, you can get the ffxi stuff done

If you really want to speed it up just a little bit
Use a tank or a healer
They get to faster queue into dungeons
With minimal impact on your questing time, at worst you'd need to use one more skill to kill an enemy.
no need tank or healer anymore
trust is here to shorten the queues
only to the "slight" disadvantage of needing to do single pulls
hey does anyone know where i can change key keybind for Drawing/ SHeathing my weapon?
❤️ ty
should I be queuing for alliance raids via party finder? My duty finder has been searching for an hour now and there's nothing
no, duty finder is fine, just not when it's 7am for most of your datacenter
It's 7 am for me as well
yes
people are usually sleeping/at work/school and not playing ffxiv
so your pool of potential players to fill a 24man raid is like, tiny
Oh right, it's spring break for me so I forgot
How do I know if a leve quests is repeatable 3 times?
ARR-SB leves which let you do triple turn-ins have an icon of an old woman using a spinning wheel.
SHB triple leves have a woman with a cloth
Do old summer event outfit come back for sale during summer event ? Or do i have to buy them for 5$ from Mogstation ?

That means we get new summer shit every year
Hey, quick question. Just cleared new extreme and got two totems, is every fight gonna drop two now or is it just a new one?
havent seen any mention of it in patch notes
just this one
oh okay, thanks
Is there a book for Master Alchemist I and II in scrip exchange somewhere? I found III to IX...
they make some fights drop two cause uh iunno
like hades ex

1 & 2 are from an NPC in mor dohna, you see the hut with NPC for collectables ?
go to the left of it, there should be an old dude selling them
they're at a separate vendor in mor dhona, they were added before scrips were introduced
Ty ty
Altho it require specific materials to be acquired
and those said items can't be sold on market, so gotta craft
Hmm
Hi is there a way to fix your FFXIV from crashing after clicking the aesthetician?
hello! how do I download the game
!faq download
i think your files are broken if you crash from the aesthetician, so i guess you can try repairing it or fully download it back
thanks!
is game card time region lock ?
or i can buy it from any regions not matching my account
yes
if your account is eu, yes
to eu account
thanks
How far through Endwalker do I need to be to use Tomestones of Aphorism and Astronomy?

You always need to finish the expansion story to get access to tomes
Heavensward Is the only time it's open early
Oki
Do you get the reward for a dungeon if you do it unsync? (poetics)

How do i get to The world unsundered / elpis? i have a quest there but no teleport
If you forgot to attune the ocular should have a portal back

does anyone know what's happening there?
oh i see, tyvm
Is there a way to have less battle effects and functioning fishing indicator?
is there a hotkey somewhere to expand your chat window so it opens the full screen?
like a toggle? not seeing anything under chat keybinds
On controller, you can push Triangle/Y to expand it to near full screen but I don't think kb/m has a button toggle for it.
Other than simply grabbing the upper right hand corner of the box and dragging to the desired size.
oh i found a thread it seems https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/tmg540/psa_you_can_toggle_the_chat_log_to_full_screen/
Hi, hate to be a bother but does anyone know Archer's attack rotation and positionals? (LVL 80)
ranged have no positionals
and you should use the term Bard, not archer
and incidentally, Bard also doesn't have a totally set rotation
since they work on procs
you do cycle your songs though
anyway, this is a good guide
Patch 6.1: Repelling Shot now 15 yalms, but nothing really changes the use case. Just be careful you don't now throw yourself off of arenas.
Battle Voice no longer needs a song active. Wanderer's Minuet becomes Pitch Perfect when active.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just h...
Oh ty everyone for the help 🙂 sorry for my mistakes
hey guys, where is this sword from?
its crafted weapon, called seeing horde. can buy from marketboard, crafted, or from southern front lockboxes
I think he's asking is it from another ff game?
Can level 1 glamour gear be regained?
usually, what lvl 1 glam gear specifically?
is that a trails fan in teh wild
expert roulette is spammable?
technically, but you only get the daily bonus once
and unless you are getting the adventurer in need bonus not really worth
unless you don't really care which lv90 dungeon you get
Like the scion traveler gear and other things you get throughout story
i see
the lvl 1 glam you get from the msq can be bought from the calamity salvager
I'm mainly asking because in having Aromy storage problems and I'm skittish about getting rid of stuff
Where are they?
throw things in the dresser/armoire
and your retainers, if you're not free trial
calamity salvagers are in the 3 starting cities. easiest ones to get to are in limsa, in the aftcastle near the mail moogle and gridania at the amphitheater near the main moogle as well
do endwalker role quests give job gear?
No
ok
They make the job gear dyable though
They do not. They do, however, let you dye the job gear you get later in the story
The gear itself comes from MSQ
For the makai title mounts, can you use any class after getting it, i.e. Makai Sage but then be doing pvp as a summoner?
yes
ty
Yep
Are there any big differences in PF between EU and NA datacenters?
ive heard EU PF uses macros for explaining the strats more often than NA?
or are u asking about something else
Yanks are afraid of macros
and just in general potential cultural differences
Crystal had a great tank strike
NA wastes 20mins picking spots when you could just slap a macro and call your spot and see who's fucking up when they don't go to their spot
because I plan on playing with a bunch of friends on Siren now that I'm done with the tier and only get to prog DSR on EU but I wanted to mentally prepare myself haha
What leavequests for crafters currently the most optimal?
The highest level ones
The ones at your level
I mean at lvl 90 for money farm
Leve money is heavily nerfed
I don't think they're really farmed for money anymore
Best you'll get is via carrot nibbles but it's not as broken as before
I know they nerfed it, but it still pays something. I remember at release alchemist was the one?
Aight so NA is allergic to macros and likes talking, got it
There's no mkre triple turn ins
im leveling an alt and already did lv15 msq but the quest to unlock housing doesnt appear? im on the right npc
of course leve quests will pay something but you have to consider the opportunity cost. is the compensation you get for both the mats, your gear durability, and your time worth it?
or are you better off bulk-crafting things like raid-food?
Click no 3
Have to go to the area and talk to an npc there iirc
Oh, there should be a blue quest on first area
did u already do it by chance and forget?
I mean all these leaves are just sit there. Need to spend them on something
u dont need to
nah impossible I started the char today
youre looking at the right NPCs right? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Guide:Progression_and_Level_Locked_Content
pld
sure, but I personally wouldn't do them if I could make more through other methods
is it already in your quest log and just not showing on the map?
nope not in my log
I play the game on ps4, and I recently bought a laptop so that I can play the game on there as well. Does it matter which version I should buy (the steam or non-steam)? I want to buy it from GameStop since I have a discount, but they only have the steam version.
hmm strange i got no ideas then tbh. maybe relog and see?
ill try that
Second hand copies are literally just discs for collecting, not a game license
Yeah, they sell digital copies
with the steam version you can buy game-time with steam credit. I think that's the only benefit you get.
cant u also buy mogstation store stuff with steam pay?
Steam isn't an option normally
yea i mean if u buy the game via steam, can u buy mogstation stuff with steam too?
ok hm I was able to acces housing district without doing the quest lol
I'm 100% I didn't do it, just started the char today
strange...u mustve already done it then or something
weird
is it the same for all 3 cities?
thats surprising, czu i dont remember the patch notes mentioning anything about it
then again, i think they separated teh DRK class resource bars at some point, which def wasnt the case before...
So I need to buy time card to play the steam version?
youll need a time card regardless cuz it's a sub-based game
The quest just allows you to warp to housing from the city aetheryte
well...not a time card, but youll have to buy game time somehow
I already have an active subscription since I’m on console
the new Line of Sight auto-targeting means character sight or player sight?
game time card is 60 days that equal 2 months of standard sub, while if you choose entry sub, you need to buy it every month, and the only difference between the two is the former grant you more character
i can also access Mist and Lavender Beds, cant try Shirogane cus low level but yea seems like its an unannounced update? because I'm 100% sure I didnt do any of the blue quests
It’s not an unannounced update
okay so from my understanding once you purchase the game on steam you get a code you can redeem on mogstation and if you do that on the same SqEx account as you used on your console it should "just work"™️
the only difference between steam and non steam is the frequency of sales
and steam lets you use other currencies
they want to get the steam version because of a gamestop credit thing
i know
so they'd be getting it cheaper than either version regularly right now iirc
the sub is universal, you buy it on the account-wide term, if the steam sub price actually cheaper than console, then you might want to consider that
you have to buy the game per platform
he knows that
ye, it is just this wasn't about sub time
Ok, thank you guys
he asked that if he need to buy separate game time, one for steam and one for console which is no
Does PLD have a Gap closer?
all tanks do
!action Intervene
damn, lvl 74
Level 74, jesus
which one's the earliest? GNB unlocks Rough Divide at 56
!action Plunge
Plunge by 2 levels
Is there anything else to keep in mind before I plunge into the NA raiding community?
no?
we can have the ascian dress in the game ?
The npc says I must equip anima weap to proceed but I don’t have the whm one tho?
not the ARR ones
sad
Is the “soul without life” quest part of the quest line to obtain the Cane of the white tsar? (Whm)
You have to have the anima weapon, you’ve been building it up for the last few quests
You absolutely sure there’s 0 purple weapons in your armoury
Idr doing it though
it is worth to meld determination on gear
depends what your stat priority is
well idk much about that
!faq balance
everything endgame is there
hello, what shared fate rank do you need to buy bicolor gemstone vouchers?
Are there any cool glowing dancer weapons that aren't buyable on the market besides ultimates/resistance/hoh/potd?
Rank 3 in all EW zones
Just checking if I've missed anything LOL
that's what glowing weps usually are, lol
so the answer is not really
LOL rip
Time for my second resistance wep grind den
The only exception I currently know of are the 81 dungeon weapons, which do have a light particle glow when drawn but don't have any auras.
Ah good to know ty
"delineation" means "explicit description"
To answer the question better, I'd need more context beyond simply that phrase.
So presumably a crafter thing
It's an item that you can use when crafting to enable Careful Observation iirc
Since it's not required in that context, I wouldn't worry about it
15 scrips each
Is hoh still the fastest lv 61-70 leveling method? If so, is it still just repeating floors 21-30?
If your queues suck sure
What do you mean?
if you have more than 15 min queue hoh is better
if your dungeons queues are too long
if not spam dungeon
Ahhh ok that makes sense tyvm
15 is a b it of a lowball for resorting to hoh given you need to queue into HoH as well
like 25 - 30
Shinryu one is really nice
it's nice if you build around its colors
otherwise it's meh
I suppose that’s fair
Anyone have a guide for new players to FFXIV? I just purchased the starter.
!faq newplayertips
And feel free to ask questions here of course
Is gilgamesh the most popular server?
all worlds are popular
That's hard to say, but there are no dead servers. All are very populated.
you can visit other worlds so population doesnt matter anyway
There's no official numbers released and there are systems in place to balance them out
What do you mean?
Ye I kinda wish it was dyeable or something, wanted something besides the lime green look:c
So if I go to Gilgamesh, I can play with Balmung later?
it has to be on your data center
I mean, it’s blue/green/yellow, but it matches my outfit
Servers in the same datacenter all queue with each other for content, and party formation can be cross-server inside the same datacenter. You can also "visit" other servers by swapping between them at one of the three starting cities' aetherytes.
using this example if you go Gilgamesh you play with everyone in Adamantoise, Cactuar, Faerie, Jenova, Midgardsormr, Sargatanas and Siren
By late May/early June, we’re expected to get a system that allows one to visit other data centers within your own region but matchmaking will remain separated by data center.
So I read online that right now, Aether is more towards raiding, primal is a mix of aether/crystal, and Crystal is mainly rp
is that wrong?
Those kinds of generalizations don’t really apply anymore yeah
fuck
!faq worldpick
Lol
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Southeast Asian and Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
i had a stroke
I just bought a chocobo Harding from the market board
I used the item, but my chocobo looks the same
You have to change the barding pieces on the third tab of your Companion menu.
You don’t automatically equip bardings
This used to be a very broadly accurate generalisation many years ago. But it's mostly a holdover from before intra-datacenter travel was implemented, when Gilgamesh was the main raiding server on Aether. So in the Way Back Machine, if you wanted to raid regularly, you wanted to be on Gilgamesh.
But that is no longer the case.
Among the 4 tanks, how hard is to master DRK? I suppose GNB is the hardest and WAR is the easiest. DRK easier than PLD?
Oh, so DRK is as hard as GNB to master?
ok, define "master"
DRK is just alot of double weaving every 2mins
cause if you mean do rotation perfectly
then not really
none of them are that hard to master
The real thing is if you actually enjoy the job or not
You're just slapping stuff on cooldown and dumping mana and 2 shadowbringers charges under 2min buffs
Doing the proper rotation while doing the mechanics and stuff.
braindead on most jobs
including tanks
So, strictly between those four classes, yeah DRK/GNB are the more complex to approach. But objectively those complexities aren't super brain breaking.
I see
As for "mastery", that all comes down to how much time you're willing to put in doing boring shit like slapping a training dummy for twenty minutes.
Because that's the boring shit that will help you play better.
GNB's gameplay loop is analogous to NIN's as they're both 60s jobs
DRK is barely more complex than the "easiest" tank class
I see
as someone who mains both WAR and DRK in savage
like
tanking is braindead in general
Even GNb?
Yes
Don't bring "braindead" into it, it doesn't mean anything.
i dont play gnb but i heard it has more weaving than drk
but its still tanking
which is easy
Just use things on cooldown and dump resources under buffs
GNB is pretty annoying to weave mitigation in, lol
That's every job in the game
WAR's pretty freeform and has few buttons to really manage
PLD's rigid but has a very intuitive and straightforward rotation with not very many weaves
GNB has a lot of weaves and demands you press your buttons a lot but it's, like, really easy to understand once you have the mechanical skill to actually hit those buttons (which is not exceedingly difficult)
DRK optimization has a lot of weaves and resource management but it's the same deal as GNB
it is pretty braindead compared to other roles
especially since you have tank privilege
Everybody says every role is "braindead", it legit has no meaning lol
tank privilege means nothing
Especially to someone outside who hasn't learned it yet.
??
difficulty's also a spectrum. like GNB's 'braindead' to pick up because it's just hitting buttons under no mercy but optimzization and saving weave room certainly needs some brain cells
i don't really like calling stuff braindead for the same reason
in endgame content tanking is generally easier than dpsing considering your rotation is just 123
especially on p4s
i can see your opinion but i think the point of contention is the label of braindead
generally
still wrong
except dps is largely 123 as well

tbf i don't think it's wrong to say tank kits are relatively simpler but i don't disagree with tanking being equally as 'difficult'
you think?
the nuance comes from other stuff
.... yes.
i mean RDM, BLM, SAM, etc go beyond the concept of 1-2-3
nice addition to #questions-and-help by just telling people theyre wrong with no explanation
and yeah to address the original question, no class is too hard to pick up
damn can't argue with that, aight bai!
^^^
If you want to be good at DRK, just put in the effort.
tldr drk isnt hard in general
but for reals, dps ain't too hard either
Ok
DRK's also pretty easy to pick up at a base level. don't overcap, hit your buttons. optimization gets into spaghetti hands territory, especially with weaving defensives, but it's rewarding
tbf we can go on all day about stuff being easy. i generally gauge difficulty by how easy it is to pick up and how easy it is to optimize, not to mention difficulty is extremely subjective from person to person
BLM line optimization 
pick up whatever looks cool 
anyone know what this error means?
DirectX error. It can be caused by a lot of things.
yep
Easiest one to check is your headphone settings if you use a bluetooth headset.
just relaunch
loading screen then crash
i've had it happen
anything you recently changed?
i dusted my pc if that helps
If you're using a Bluetooth headset, check to make sure that your output is set to (Game)
Try the Restore Game Data option in the launcher. If it's crashing during loading, it might be crashing trying to load a corrupt file/asset.
right guess ill have to 
yes
Not directly.
Lily, I gave you the quest list. Did you actually look at the steps
Soul Without Life is a few steps before that.
I believe cane of the tsar is a HW relic but you gotta do like three quests to get to it
Hey so how many beast tribe quests can you do a day?
I just started the Kojin beast tribe and I did 3 missions
Now the mission giver isn’t giving me anymore
12
12 total, but usually 3 per tribe
Yes
If you rank up you get 3 more for that tribe, at least until sworn
Check if drivers need updating & if there's any windows (or whatever you're using) updates too
anyone here use mopi mopi overlay? got a question
it's my first time using it and when I entered a dungeon to test it, it displays 2 of my icons, one below and one above with varying numbers, what do they mean?
I'm waiting for you to get bonked because it has 'names' 💀
=)
they're the fake base names that it uses to display 
he wouldn't get bonked for names
^
The no name rule is specifically for people venting about stupid groups
^^
not post example pictures or general discussion
Is DRG as button bloated as SAM?
Can anyone explain the e12s naming conventions?
Like e is eden, 12 is because is the 12th and s is savage?
correct
What about uwu?
not a savage
Ultima weapon
Because you're fighting the Ultima Weapon, and it's an Ultimate, and uwu is funny
phone, if I wanted to spell Ultimate instead of Ultima, I will do so, kindly piss off
I just ever did some extremes and i kinda wanted to do hard stuff now that i hit 80
I read that you have to watch a guide before
And then use party finder, not duty finder right
yeah, don't queue for extremes in DF, you'll only get people looking to get carried, people who refuse to know what they're doing, and grumpy mentors tired of carrying people who refuse to know what they're doing
and who will frequently post chatlog macros rivaling the book of Acts about why you shouldn't queue for extremes in DF
how many luminous crystal do I need from each area in the Soul without life quest? It doesn’t specify
1 from each area
ty
Lul, and are the guides mandatory?
you can then trade 3 each from a specific area for 1 umbral and 1 astral
The vendor you go to said it’s one of each
what’s the umbral for?
you need both for the quest
unless youre joining a blind prog party
and the quest did specify how many you needed, just saying
At this point, unless you are specifically stating in your Party Finder ad that you are doing "blind" runs, knowing the fight beforehand is expected.
All right, thanks a lot
There are groups of people who do blind runs of things for fun, and there are groups of people who do past content at minimum item level for fun. But by and large the expectation for current content is that you know what you're doing, and for past content that you're doing it unsynced to make it faster.
Also, the reason I only said "extremes" here is because the only way you can enter an ultimate at all is with a full premade party.
so that aspect takes care of itself lol
you dont queue for any endgame content in general unless youre in JP

So my account got suspended and i dont know why, i recently changed my password coz it asked me to coz i switched ISPs but im pretty sure i havnt done anything "bad" does anyone know whats up?
Uuhhhhh....... who told you to change your password ?
the launcher
when i tried to login a few days ago it just gave me an error
and told me to change password coz of different network things
usually if there's a change in ip location, it flags the system as suspicious and suspends the acct. temporarily as a safeguard against someone trying to hack your acct.
changing your password is more or less the requirement to deal with that
i see but i played for a day or 2 after i changed my password and only now is it telling me its suspended
If its the launcher, chances are your account is temporary soft locked to prevent malicious act. I suppose you can send support an email about this and ask them to release your account with the relevant details.

Also I take it you have OTP right ?
soz whats OTP?
probably not given the account wouldnt be temporarily suspended for ip change
just to prevent the chance you didnt got your account hacked and then suspended due to that
OTP = one time password
because there are usually 2 cases, either the case we mentioned, or your account is simply hacked, then used for malicious act and then promptly suspended
in any case, the only thing you can do is inquire support about this
hopefully now that the overcrowding is over, support can respond much faster
hopefully
seems i just gotta wait a few days :/
gives me time to play other games tho xD ... blessing in disguise?
hello. clicking on C to open character i see the blue numbers upper right of my character pic. is that only the equipment level? Where do i see what level i am in MSQ, because that is not the same as experence level, right?
the level of the current main scenario quest you are on is listed in the quest journal
oh, thank you
the blue numbers on the upper right hand corner in the character panel is the average item level of your gear
thank you so much.
is 522 GS good enough for a miner retainer?
Retainers only care about perception
oh, is 2811 good enough
Should be
sweet, thanks!
savage raiders, this is probably a dumb question but..which is more potent overall, potting during the opener and on cooldown thereafter using NQ potions, or potting only on the opener with a HQ potion?
because my broke ass can't afford 99 HQ potions on the MB 😂
Only use HQ
yeah only use the hq
but even then
you dont need them unless you're parsing imo
gear makes dps checks a thing of the past unless there's deaths 
once there is no use for scrips gear, what should I do with it?
oh wait, current purple scrips gear?
white and purple ye
full disclosure, i used NQ grade 6 strength tinctures on cooldown on my first p3s clear, which was why I'm asking
and yes, the clear had several deaths
p3s feels so much more difficult to cleanly get through
Use HQ
buying them cost me ~7.5k gil on Carbuncle, compared to the exclusively 99 stack HQ potions which would cost me 125k gil each
Nq potd are fucking junk
even only for clearing?
tsk
You get 3 pots if you hit enrage
Vs 2
So you're effectively gaining 37x2 + 189 main stat
With 3 pot usages
my first clear didn't sew enrage, the bird died while casting the last cinder wing
So effectively and basically enrage
Which beast tribe quest has the best gear
They don't give gear
none of them give gear
