What's the best/fastest way to actually queue and get into extreme trials (HW)? I feel like I'm missing something here...
use party finder.
Party finder
don't queue for extremes.
No sane people que for any ex
Party finder. Queueing for something raw using the duty finder won’t get you anywhere unfortunately. At least in terms of extremes/savages.
OH THERE IT IS. I knew something like that existed but since I took a long break I had no idea where it was lmao. Thank y'all so much.
And synced parties will also take a while to fill, if you don’t have a group already
Is it against TOS to multi-box?
Uses third party software to coordinate, so yes.
I was under the impression that it was definitely 100% not against the rules to multibox.
i mean you can have multiple accounts, but using a program to move/operate both game instances would be
What you were under the impression of was that SE does not search out and hunt down players who are using 3rd party software.
you would have to manually input for both instances
Unless you’re going around telling people that you’re multi boxing
is there a way i can pay with EUR for mog station glam on an NA account?
gonna be honest but multiboxing is painfully obvious and easy to spot so it would be extremely risky.
No, I was under the impression that it is okay to multibox, not use 3rd party software. I wasn't asking about using 3rd party software.
No
damn
Multi boxing is third party software
for this week's fashion report, i can get 100 points only if i have the Heavensturn event head gear??
!fr
Clearly no
rip
is there any penalty when you leave an fc? or i can rejoin right after?
Hi I just got back into ffxiv after a year break. I'm currently level capped at 80 and forgot how to break through the level cap. I already purchased and installed endwalker. Does anyone know how I can go past level 80 on my characters or do I just finish the main scenario to remove the level cap? any help is appreciated 🙂
You have ew., therefore you have lv 90 caps
As long as it's registered to your account and installed you break the cap
where can i get Endwalker the cheapest currently? any deals or discounts anywhere?
No
Legitimately just buy on the store
If there are sales on the game, they will be officially listed on the SE store or the Steam counterpart.
yeah i was gonna do that but was just checking if there were any deals or discounts somewhere
And if there were any, the official stores/3rd party sellers would mention them
cuz it says I have it installed but there is a level cap for my dk and sam at 80 with a no sign
You didn't register it
And you haven't properly installed it
Restart client just in case, as well.
Expansion code into mogstation as usual
So i started heavensword yesterday and..did they change the voice actors of this expansion?
Yes
Contract with the ARR studio ended and they didn't renew it cause they were shit VAs
oh ok
The VAs being mediocre wasn't the whole reason, but quite a lot of them did phone their performances in.
Va doesn't change studios again
Oh ok
It'll take a bit to adjust to the new actors but yes it is a dramatic improvement.
I like it, and ya it’ll take time but ya thanks for letting me know. Dope change tho nonetheless
The writing for their dialogue also continues to improve
I noticed its so good
and in fact this most recent expansion had the most and the longest voice work in any expansion
I currently have two accounts open at the same time, standing right next to each other, and I've not used any 3rd party programs.
Is this still against TOS?
Proud of you
Being logged in isn't a crime, yes.
As long as you're not using some sort of tool that routes inputs to both simultaneously, it should be okay.
Do we know how long the Garo event is sticking around or have they nt said anything about that?
frankly don't understand why you'd multibox this game but 
No idea. Probably a few years.

Series 1 will go until the start of patch 6.2 in August-ish.
Thx
what the best way to grind White Scrips as a fisher?
Ocean fishing, the same way you’ve been doing
Hello, I gift a friend FFXIV on steam and she have the free trial version on windows. On Mogstation when she enters, it says to upgrade to full but Steam is in grey. If we put the code Steam gave us it will transfer to steam directly?
collectables in ocean fiishing? rly?
No you just get white scrips after doing ocean fishing, it’s always been like this
just go thru the windows option, it'll upgrade her just fine
since windows/steam both use a code
Thank you!
i been gathering for like a week chill
I wasn’t being aggressive so…okay?
If I want to match Estinien's red armor for glam what color dye should I use to get as close to the color of his armor?
I would say try dalamund red. Otherwise ruby red
You can just dye preview the armor and compare with a pic of estinien, that’d help before you decide to buy anything
is it necessary to slot materia into retainer gear?
No
Thanks yeah I think Dalamund is closer hmm Though I just noticed in the dye preview I can't change those purple accents on the Drachen armor? rip
No for combat, yes* for gathering, but it's cheaper to just upgrade the gear
(as gathering retainers use the Gathering stat instead of Item level)
Not really, all they care about are item level or gathering/perception
That's why I said yes with an asterisk
You could meld gathering materia if you wanted to but as a whole, yeah it's cheaper to just upgrade the gear
ok, thanks!
You’re just giving them your hand me downs the whole time, so yeah
for past event gear in the mog station, are they all limited to one character? or is there a way to pay more to unlock it on all characters present and future?
Everything is character locked
Unless it's specifically states account wide in its name/description
Which is only some mounts
where do i find a guide to the eureka quests
the in-instance story ones?
yeah
at the bottom
all the pages on gamerescape have that section
do you also want the relic / elemental armor resource or are you good on that front
i found that already
Also the eureka faqs as I mentioned in lore spoilers
i said i don't know where those are and you ignored me
!faq eurekaanemos
eureka[zone name] and excuse me for not seeing the message, I was busy talking to the other guy
both of these should be all you need to navigate
and there goes my xp again
the thing wanted me to run past multiple level 5-6 enemies at level 3
yeah the quest items are put in quite terrible spots i'm not gonna lie
So learning the different aggro types will help alot
All them level 65 enemies in hydatos
i can't even just run past them they follow me all the way to the objective
BTW the elemental level cap is 60
Follow their los
Mobs are either sight based, sound Base (toggle walk), low hp based or aggro via casts
people are also willing to help you get there if you ask
there's always a few good eggs in eureka
Work smarter not harder
Pagos dragons will make you learn the aggro types and learn to toggle walk
i can't belive i need 1300 of these items which appear to have around a 20% drop rate
for 1 set
if you do notorious monster fates, they drop anemos crystals that you turn into protean
it's quite generous with the drop rate, the point of eureka isn't to kill mobs to farm but rather to spawn fates from killing said mobs
which then drop various rewards
don't you like need other players for that
Fates scale based on number of players in the zone
Plus kirin osode/vermilion cloak helps
so basically if there anyone remotely near me i'm fucked
no they mean the numbers of enemy that are needed to spawn
Nah can easily low man
even then you can lowman yeah
usually there will be a fate train people will host and call positions and pulltimes for
Plus people are going to come to fates
it's the easiest way to get exp and rewards as long as you engage and join parties
Also like shout for parties if you haven’t been
Not a server, crystal’s a DC
And why would you need to verify your phone number
you also don't need to verify your phone for server related stuff
Also your role on here says primal so like…
i'm to lowevel for these fate trains
your best bet here would be in #archived-lore-spoilers i guess but that may be a bit too heavy-handed with the literal spoilers
alice if you just lfg for a group anad just make your way to NMs you'll still get exp
Is the best way to farm light in pagos NM's or just group farming?
if something is higher ilvl, will it be equipped/better over a lower ilvl gear even if the defense is higher on the lower ilvl?
what do you mean?
what gear are you looking it?
Higher item level gear is always better
Oh that’s not HQ
it's because the item you are looking at is not High Quality
You fucked up
oh so if its hq?
High Quality items have their "full" stats
i was looking at mb
intended for the item level it is made for
ok there are some hq for sale :D
Yeah Always buy HQ, if you don’t you’re getting scammed
NQ items can be melded to reach the stats of a HQ piece, but defense stats can no longer be adjusted
you are better off purchasing the HQ version
assuming you need to
i was for glaming purposes lol
the best way is to defeat notorious monsters, yes
Then the quality doesn’t matter, at all
if you're glamouring the pieces, the quality doesn't really matter
as you are not physically wearing the piece
so the attributes are not relevant
for the piece im glaming it unto
oh I see
i just thought it wasnt as good as my 70gear until now
are you Level 78?
yea
you might as well just hit the Level 80 threshold
and purchase that gear instead
it would be a better investment
Level 50, 60, 70, and 80 are the ideal places to do a "gear update"
when progressing through the story today
at that point just get poetics gear
You can just use dungeon gear in between X5 and X0, then poetics and repeat
along with the fact at those threshold, there was lots of expansions to item level
when we reach a level cap, gear score increases but level does not
for 2 years
so once you hit for example level 50, there is actual item level 50 gear (which is very low) and item level 130 gear (which is the highest)
but both are still Level 50
almost triple the stats
and it reoccurs at Level 60, 70, and 80
so those levels are a great time to check your poetics vendor
and see if you can update your gear score
what does buying lottery tickets on sale actually mean? i think when i bought them it was the same price? from cactaur board
is it best to just buy whenever i can?
each ticket, as far as I am aware, are on a 100 increment scale
so the first is 100 MGP, the second is 200 MGP, and the third is 300 MGP
if you go to the gold saucer on the night of the ticket announcement, you get bonus MGP for being early
No reason to not buy all 3, you literally get a net positive of mgp every time
on sale isnt it increments of 50? i cant remember
there's is no "sale" for the jumbo cactpot tickets
the announcements they regularly do are just fluff
Is gibbet supposed to be darkened agter using enhanced gallows and vice versa?
I don't recall the lottery tickets having a sale outside of the Make it Rain campaign, but even then it's just a flat percentage of all facilities
oh I see the confusion
by "sale" they mean they are available to purchase
not "sale" as in it is at a discounted price
-oh. yeah thats it. lmao ty
did they change something about fate mobs? doing shb fates and tehres no longer that awk period wheree the fate mob wont let u mount
no, there's still a chance you'll have aggro on fate mob when it finishes you have to either run away or wait for it to deaggro
how do i get back to the title screen from in game
Esc
theres "Exit game" but doesnt that just boot me out of the game
Log out
why does this armor for these specific jobs have such a bump in stats, while mine dont? is there a reason for this?
to clarify, this is a quest reward
That armor is meant for tanks
It literally says that only tank jobs can wear those
So it will have higher defensive stats
yeah i just started abt a month ago, still learning, i was just wondering WHY that was
but that makes sense, thanks
What's the real recommended party/size for Khumbira skin maps? I've seen 8-mans smash them
2 technically, if you go in as tank and healer but 4 is safer
(also, should I do research on fights or is it safe to just jump on into using them)
Nice, thx
Guess I know what I'm doing with my FC later then
Have points of interest when you have an NPC accompanying you always been marked on the map?
nope, 6.1 change
why do i die from fall damage in areas and other areas i dont?
If you are actively in combat you will die from the fall
ah must have been that one beetle that tried to fight me lol
Happened to me once
anyone know where I can find level 70 levemetes?
Kugane /crystarium either or
There are no combat levequests above level 58. Level 70 leves for crafters and gatheres, however, will be in the Crystarium.
sadge
Yeah combat leves are shit, just do a dungeon or something
why are ||elpis|| fates poppin
Probably a fate party in pf
do i get tank mount achieveemtn progress from running lvl 81-90 trusts?
i saw ur message
Complete 300 dungeons (lv. 61 and above), extreme trials (lv. 61 and above), unreal trials, level 50/60/70/80 duty roulette dungeons, or duty roulette leveling duties as a X
i dont think its considered high lvl duty
but tank u dark knioght 3 says 300 lvl 61 and up dungeons
but it didnt count when i did 71 to 80 trusts
I mean the point of the achievements is so tanks are used more in duty finder so yeah
hmm im just wanting to farm tt cards levelling trusts is a side thing
and was hoping i could get tank mount farm 3 things at once sounded cool in my head
How hard are Extreme trials? I want to get an Endwalker EX Trial weapon but I'm worried about the difficulty 😦
not really that difficult
its basically just a bit more mechanically intensive
wrong one lol
Hey this is questions and help, tag spoilers. For potential new people
I havent done a single one before so easy is relative
I was vague with my question for a reason 🙂
its really just a matter of learning boss mechanics
Sure you can't just go blind into an extreme and clear it right the way, but if you willing to learn, it's wont be difficult at all
which is basically just a dance routine
I'll just delete it lol
is using one handed arms and a shield in ARR content good?
should I expect a crap ton of wipes?
only if youre a pally honestly
If you’re a paladin, that’s all you use
I mean like uh Conjurer and Black Mage lol
Nah, you’re not supposed to get hit that much anyway
thaumas and conjurers dont use em
thats ARR only stuff afaik
I've been obsessed recently with trying it out LOL
like everything after that is all 2 handed
I wanna try it lol
it accomplishes mostly nothing
You’re just losing damage iirc
except fashion ig
I wanna try just ARR content with shield casters lol
I dunno I haven’t seen a 1 handed stave in forever
should I expect a crap ton of deaths/wipes if Im new? What about if I watch a guide beforehand?
yeah, HW onwards is two handed only
most content for new people is very forgiving, just keep to common sense most of the time
Im talking about an extreme trial mb
You should always watch guides before hand for high end duties
always expect wipes
but honestly the fight you want in particular is super easy to learn
lots of visual ques
Unless it’s specifically a blind run
oh it never hurts to watch a guide yeah
blind runs are fun asf though
to get a weapon does it mean I have to beat the fight 10 times?
If your rolls suck sure
which EX you talkin about?
or just have it drop and win the roll
ah so 10 times would be the max
Wipe is normal, just one person mess up could cause a wipe so dont blame yourself, this is a team game, all 8 players must do well together
yup its bad luck prevention
appreciate you mentioning that
I care about wipes I cause lol
wiping is a team effort
if I did things right and someone else messes up I dont care about that, I want to be not messing up a lot PERSONALLY lol
Well just like the rest of the game, you die and you learn. Then you die less until you stop dying altogether
vouch
the first two endwalker EX's you can just follow someone who knows what they're doing tbh, just keep up damage/healing
Are ex trials done in duty finder? or are they typically party finder?
If you cause a wipe, figure out what you did and learn from it, and then you will not cause the wipe that way again.
Always PF
^
what about if Im new/learning?
"fresh/learning party"
so either look for that or make one myself? shudders
How far along in the MSQ do I have to be to unlock all 312 original triple triad cards?
Okay that’s good, I’m there
Now you also have to unlock all those triad NPCs, so guess who’s gotta do Eureka and tribal quests
Oh
Wait what.
Ohhh noooo…
Yes tribal npc

Yep. That phrase is important if you do make one yourself because then you won't get people expecting you to know everything, and will instead get people who either also don't know the fight; OR someone who doesn't mind helping someone learn and doesn't mind the wiping that naturally happens.
It's a different mindset and associated expectations.
Can’t forget about card drop rates
Have fun👋
Just like if I load into a duty and a healer says "hi I'm new", I'll probably roll a bit slower to not scare the piss out of them and make them feel like garbage for letting everyone die
but if no one says anything it's assumed we all know what's up and off to the races we go
hell Ive helped players new to a dungeon/whatever but those are a lot more simple lol
Much, yes
When doing EX and higher you must ensure you’re honest about your own experience in the fight and clear about your expectations for the party.
Like, do you wanna do a blind run without looking at any guides? That’s fine but most people do NOT want to do that, so such information should be made clear in your Party Finder description
"Hi guys I'm new to this fight and have crayons shoved up my nose, please be patient while I try to take them out." 😭
And if you see "farm" or "reclears" or "parse" in the PF blurb, avoid it until/unless you are sure you know the fight well.
You'll get there.
Just set yourself up for success first lol
Id much rather watch a guide a few thousand times if it makes things easier for me and everyone else, which is why I did so and will do so again tomorrow before I even touch a party lol
And never lie about how well you know a fight
I feel like those would have the duty complete tag also so you wouldn’t be able to join anyway
🖍️ 👃 🧐
Watching a guide is good, but often it still won't make total sense until you do it, and that will involve dying a few times lol
That’s very justified grounds for everyone in the party to blacklist you
Anyway learning parties are common
Me? ;-;
Only if you lie about your experience lol
Oh I dont expect to play perfectly, or lie to anyone either. I just want to have some idea of wat the hydaelyn is goin on
Since Im thinking about it now, how long does a single ex trial take (ignoring learning/wipes)
Watching a guide is normal and expected if you’re learning a fight more than a week after it was released
Like 5–10 minutes.
For example:
“Yeah, I’m a quad legend.”
2minutes later
“Hey what’s that marker?”
Depends on the DPS right now, since I don't think these three have enrage timers.
Ok nothing crazy
wats dat? ?_?
Quad legend = have cleared all four ultimate fights currently ingame
see 5-10 mins is a lot different then like 10-20 for me lol
TIL thanks!
is that a title?
Each of which gives you a title which is a variant of “the legend”
Ultimates are quite literally the hardest fights in game
ahh
Quad legend is not a title itself
But refers to owning all four of those ultimate titles
So if a guy says he’s beat 4 ultimates but doesn’t know what a certain marker does, that’s a red flag
🚩
appreciate the info 😄
And likewise, if you join a farm/loot/parse party, people expect you already know the fight.
Even with watching a guide beforehand, should I expect to set aside a few hours to learn the fight? Or should it take less time then that? I like to think Im not extremely stupid
makes sense
So honesty in your own PF blurb and honesty in joining or not joining party listing are equally important.
my party members on the otherhand... xD
Well knowing the fight, and actually putting that knowledge to paper are very different stories
Watching a video is also much different from doing the fight while doing your rotation as well.
It can be very easy to tunnel into your abilities and miss the start of mechanic queues.
healer rotation: 1111111111111111 I hope Ill be ok
Also lag might kill you, if that’s a known issue for you
Watching guides won't help you learn how to avoid that.
Healers can tunnel just line any DPS lol
It just happens differently
Nod
Have fun
And the more you do it, the better you'll get at it.
hopefully >.>
Even if you don't succeed in your first session.
Is there any dyeable Kitseos gear?
housing demolition is still paused right?
nope
just wondering, does the EW extreme trials have as long queue times as the previous ones?
yep
Don’t queue for EXs
will it be easier to find groups then?
aight
math time!
if I have Road to 80 and four classes at 50 at the end of 2.0, will that be enough to avoid wasting too much XP on free trial level cap before I hit HW?
it looks like most the quests only award like 2500 xp
The exp skyrockets again in Heavensward
Hey fellas. If I wanna farm aetherpool in POTD should I start from floor 1 or 51?
Only patchquests give that little exp
I'm not worried about that since a stack of classes unlock
for a second I was like "oh wait I haven't leveled SMN yet, I'll be fine!" and then was like 🤦♂️
51 has a higher cap of aetherpool you can farm iirc
needs 15/15 to start there tho
Ah well damn ill take it down
Just cant pug through the duty finder and didnt want to bother my fc with it
Make a PF
Nobody queues EXs
fair enough thanks for the tip
anyone know what the best job for HOH in EW is?
probs red mage id imagine?
best recovery to dmg capability still in the game so best overall survivability
for solo? mch/rdm are both nice for it also get enough empyrean potions
Doesn’t matter
any
all I'm looking for is the mount
rdm is still a solid choice for res
This is of course assuming you need to be rezzed
True but thats the old policy of get gud lol it just depends as a whole on what your group specifically needs
blm for mag dmg
rdm for dmg/utility
etc
It’s HOH, literally any job combo will do good enough
True, unless your going for the title you shouldnt really worry about min/max
Only reason im going to be starting up rdm soon is because I want the necromancer title lol
it's more like once I make a choice I can't really go back on it
or else its gonna waste a lot of time
just want to get the mount as fast as possible and not deal with it anymore lol
wouldn't gnb be good then?
Well pick a job man it comes down to if your worrying about synergy talk it out with em. If your pugging then dont worry about it run what you want, and if the run fails dont sweat it. You can only control so much.
and do I have to clear floor 1-100 for every accessory each time
You have to 1-100 4 times yes
Dont get me wrong gnb is my favorite job in the game but it just doesnt have the surv/dmg ratio that rdm holds if you wanna talk about optimal solo
plsu add in group and red mage brings more utility to the table
naw but I was talking about dmg to heals
brutal shell is ridiculous I wont refute that, but rdm blows it out of the water on solo potential
Like I said I love gnb, favorite job. But theres a reason that mopst people get their necromancer with rdm
Red in this game is hurting my eyes. is there any way i can turn red into another color?
uhhhh maybe play with the colorblind options? I'm not sure tbh
Colourblind options or if ur on pc u can try to fiddle with gshade
Okay I guess that guy doesn’t need help with his keybind issue, since he never asked us anything
Did he delete his msg?
Yep
ah... well damn and I was trying to be useful tonight lol
What do i do with Aphorism besides Rain and Moonward gear?
Buy mats
is there a way to hide bag item pop up window? alt key hides it temp. cant find it in ui settings
You can move where they appear
can I go switch between solo and group between every 10 levels for HOH?
or will my save data be limited to solo/group
and fixed group = solo right
nope
It’s how you solo
fixed group simply means you and your friends, it could also be solo but not just solo
that's annoying
Too bad, that’s how it works
gonna have to deal with these queue times
it can be solo ..
Fixed group means custom
Wdym Queue times? If you’re soloing there’s nobody to wait for
I don't want to solo
if you want the mount normal que doesn't work
wait what
floor 31-100 cant be done with random matchmaking need to find ppl before and go as fixed group from floor 1
Floor 31 and Beyond
While floors up to 30 are related to the story of Heaven-on-High, all floors after were created strictly as a challenge for players. For this reason, you cannot enter floors beyond 30 with a matched party. Furthermore, in addition to completing the sidequest "On the Shoulders of Giants," players must meet the following requirements to challenge these floors:
・Start from floor 1 or floor 21 with a fixed party and clear up to floor 30.
・Party KO count must be zero.
Save data with one or more party KOs cannot be used on floor 31 or higher.
- Please be advised that the party KO count will also increase in the event your party abandons the duty or logs out while inside the instance.
no way I'm finding a group for this lol
Make a PF, like everyone else does
Not if you complete the 100 floors, which is the goal
wdym, wouldn't I need the same group to do all 100 floors together
since it's a fixed party
You’re not getting this
Make PF, go from 1-100 with group, they leave. Make another PF later, do 1-100 with that group on different save
most that join such a pf know that it will take a few hours so you need to plan that you have enough time
yeah that's pretty bad still
probably easier to solo and be able to do things at my own time
It’s that or you don’t do HoH quickly
Because soloing is even harder unsurprisingly
Just got to lvl 60 and there’s a “Ø” sign next to my EXP what does that mean?
You can’t gain anymore exp
free trial is limited to level 60
No I paid for a month membership?
Then you don’t own EndWalker
Bruh?
Which makes the cap lvl 90
did you specifically buy the complete edition?
because it sounds like you might only have starter edition
No I bought the cheapest on steam, pretty sure it was standard
So yeah
cheapest on steam means you have starter
You don’t own EndWalker
You have the exact same content as a trial player, on starter
and pvp
but the good news is, you can just upgrade now
it would only cost $40 instead of $60
Does drk have anything like hoc/bloodwhetting?
Pog thank you! Much appreciate it guys
the blackest night
that's your closest equivalent
short-cooldown extremely useful mit
I'm new to collectables, but I just gathered some and took them to a collectable appraiser and it says I don't have any to hand in?
Damn, thats it huh
For collectability it just says ???
Again 0 collectibility you have to raise it
Whoch one is less clicky between drk and gnb
can you even gather 0 collectability?
But the ones I collected have 214
DRK
yes
DRK is pretty clicky during the opener and burst phases though
they just fuck off to basics after that
still too low. Gathering Collectibles need to be around 400+ depending on the content, crafting collectibles have the minimums displayed in the UI
It’s fairly easy to get 1000 if your gathering stats are good enough
Gathering ones do too
When I hover over the ones in the appraiser it says ??? for collectability, so how do I find the minimum I need?
It literally on screen, there’s 3 tiers on top of each other
on the Turn In UI, when hovering over one of the menu options, look down at the lower part of the UI
@crystal otter make sure you use the collect skill
Not a thing for Btn or min
it is
but collectables are now designed in a way that you can't forget it, cause it's how you hit the node
is housing demolition still paused?
Again they’ll message us if it starts up
hello, how do people have more than 3 logos action slots in hydatos? or is 3 the max now?
Initially, up to three Logos Action sets can be stored in the window at a time, but the amount of available slots can be expanded to six in Hydatos by obtaining rare items known as aethertight flasks via Happi Bunni chests and handing them to Drake.
ah
hello, i have a question
i want to play the game, but don't feel like paying much attention to the story right now. would it be alright if i just mindlessly started farming FATEs and other random stuff, or would it make the rest of the story too easy because of the level difference?
so i could spend a month farming xp and it wouldn't even matter for the main story?
theoretically
everything important in MSQ syncs you down
Correct. The story level is all the game cares about, everything else is fluff
some people I know hit max level before finishing heavensward
cuz they kept doing side content on 1 class
that being said, farming fates is very slow exp
i just want to practice my combat but don't want to have a story to pay attention now
well, if practicing combat is your goal, there are training dummies you can pound
and also you can just queue for dungeons around your level
that'd be faster exp than farming fates
and you still get combat practice
i don't think i've unlocked dungeons yet
msq will also lock you out of skills until you do certain parts
i saw a dungeon icon on the map but no other reference to them
you unlock them through story
story is required, so you may as well continue to progress MSQ if you're that early on
you can also complete your hunting log for additional exp
that early on you dont have a choice really
i kill every marked enemy on my way but don't actively chase it yet
MSQ locks you out of almost everything else
i enjoy doing FATEs even though i'm the only one doing them
Again the game only cares about story progress
save that FATEs enthusiasm for later tbh
you have to grind a lot of fates for certain objectives
reason?
oh
that's good
i like world events in any game really. sea of thieves, guild wars 2, elder scrolls online etc
yeah those relics we mentioned? all of them have a fate objective in them
yeah those dont really happen in ffxiv
yeah they do
ha ha also shared fates 
wdym they don't happen
we have lots of world events
they do
i see them everywhere
hunt trains, S ranks, fate farm groups...
weren't you playing GLD/PLD?
what's gld/pld
they're wrong, we have a ton of world events
i noticed
gladiator/paladin
ie sword and shield man
The only of its kind
i wanted to but accidentally chose pugilist in character creation because i wasn't paying attention lmao
oops
fates are pretty garbo world events
Both of them are in Uldah so just walk over and become the other
a huge relief because i am very prone to FOMO
even if you picked pugilist in character select, you can switch as easily as pressing a button
and yet they are still world events
fates are almost quite literally the exact same in guild wars 2
as long as you've done your level 10 class quest*
and in wow's world quests
i didn't play much of either game but they're practically identical, yet gw2 has a little more variety
although most fates in ffxiv are less rewarding than some special world quests in WoW
in gw2 it's defend this, collect that, revive those guys, in ffxiv it's just get kills
yeah you're still way early
or be like me and have Odin literally spawn on top of you
there are tons and tons and tons of different fates
there are also defend this and collect that fates
you're still in the starting zones
it's really bugging me that i'm limited to the free trial
i think theres only 6 types of fates total?
it's like playing a demo as a main game
this isn't a free trial issue
You aren’t but okay
how so
there are tons of zones in the free trial
ffxiv is the game i want to play until i 100% and i can't
as you are now, you're playing the same thing as the full game
You’re only limited to the trial if you don’t have money
the free trial is hundreds of hours of the equivalent of the full game
i don't. i cannot pay my own sub
even if you bought the game you'd still have to do what you're doing
i am 16
that's not the problem
i don't quite understand what the problem is then
you're not really playing a trial right now
Okay so just do everything in the trial, and stop complaining
personal fav btw
you're basically playing the full game, except free
it's an issue for the future but at some point i'll reach a wall that i can't get over until i get the sub
there's still an insane amount of content that you can play through in the free trial
that's literally not until the end of Heavensward
because i am retarded
No bad word, Don’t
we have some people in this discord who exhausted free trial
as in, they got to 60 in every job and did all the raids synced
hard r is not really accepted here btw

also, regarding fates, nothing beats the announcement of a rare boss fate and then people from all servers start crowding the aetherytes to get there
what's the big deal, it's not like i am intentionally trashtalking someone

does this mean that I only need weaver at lvl50 to be able to craft this? and I don't need any other class/job/role whatsoever to make this?

Are you able to gather any kind of Treasure Maps outside of timer?
With money
you can't start as a Rogue, but you can unlock it after lvl 10 if you start in Limsa, lvl 15 in Ul'dah or Gridania
are you level 10 in another class?
You didn’t do your job quests
rogue is somewhat unique in that they require some progress in a different class
Job quests
did you do your marauder job quests?
did you do your class quests
Where can I get high perception gear? I’m lvl 53 fisher and the merchant at Liam’s Lominsa only sells lvl 49 gear

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.
yeah there you go

How long does it take for square to activate a subscription?
You clearly haven’t

It happens pretty much right after the payment processes
i'm also curious as to how i rarely see any people around me, and yet there is a queue for joining a server
depends on time and location
First off what DC are you even on
Ul'dah isn't the most populous for the most part
We have no idea if your time zone could be a factor
what's a dc
Data center you picked one at the start

Is it worth it to join multiple guilds at a low level or max out one job at a time?
Your choice
It literally doesn’t change anything
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 90 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 79, which then reduces to +50% for level 80 to 89. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
you can join them all, but it's suggested to stick to 2 or 3 combat classes early on
so you can spread story exp out
Thanks 😊
keeping up with 3 combat jobs becomes easy if you run your leveling roulette once per day every day
Is Endwalker role quests required to complete the MSQ?
No.
EW Role Quests are only needed if you want to dye the EW job gear
They are optional side-stories from 85+ in Endwalker, and unlock the ability to dye the lv89 artifact gear for the corresponding role.
Thanks!
So that means
I can't play ffxiv if square doesn't want to take my money which I want to give them willingly

If you ain't happy that your customers want to give you money, you should quit your job

Are aetherial wheel stands useful for one man FC?
If you want grade 3 actions and can't/don't want to do GC squadrons, then yes.
Well I did enough squad missions for all the bonuses I need
Then it depends on how fast you happen to generate FC credits compared to how often you use Grade 1/2 actions
if you're outpacing your credit income, then the wheels can be useful
Also what's the difference between level 6 aetherial wheel stand and the compact version ?
just looks
how do i do this
so it won't work in real combat, right?
you can emote in combat, but it won't do anything helpful.
alright
(besides the literal one scenario with a few mobs and a specific debuff they have)
Can I go on two voyages simultaneously?
up to 4 voyages total split between airships and submarines
I've only noticed for Mobile
not sure about a desktop shortcut besides plain copying the text
Woah I never thought of that, so you can have 2 airships and 2 submarines?
4 of each
How come
Thanks
hello, where can i ask for help in unrestricted duty ? nobody queueing in The Dancing Plague vs Titania
set up a listing in the party finder
besides that, ask in your datacenter/region channel for this discord.
okay
wow
like rare ?
Do you have all languages ticked for searching?
!faq dflanguage
yeah same, i already turn on all j,e,d,f
it's practically a must for playing on JP datacenters
also EU datacenters, but not as drastically
how do i do the scholasticate questline? i did the quests from maythe, and am past 3.1 msq
oh nice, i never knew that ... no wonder i wait soo long as well .
You need to complete the ARR portion of the Hildibrand questline.
ahh
okay fair enough
ah i see
thanks
was wondering why the queues for the most palyed mmo in the world seemed so dead on a weekend lol
lol me too heh
there's tons of different sources/methods of gear. The most "accessible" stuff is level 1 glamour gear from the marketboard, though this isn't usable by trial players and some pieces can be very expensive.
So where do I get aetherial wheels to use in a stand?
craft them as alchemist
should be in the housing section of the log, IIRC
either there or Mastercraft books 1/2
...maybe also 45-50
grade 2 and 3 wheels are prototypes made in the workshop
Oh
So I already have one grade 1 submarine, can I register another (grade 2) or do I upgrade the grade 1?
submarine parts are less straightforward than airships. besides the starting set, each submarine set has a stat they're good/bad at, and also varies based on the part of the set.
I highly recommend looking up leveling/meta sets on the submarine/airship discord to use as a guide for what to build.
I already built one
What's the best way to farm lightning shards?
I thought it was very straightforward...
airship parts are straightforward, submarine parts aren't
airship sets are basically direct upgrades to the previous set at the cost of higher "building points"
What I meant to ask, can you skip grade 2-5 and go straight to 6?
no
Also for airships?
So you cannot register more than 2 of each types (airships and submarines)?
you can register 4 of each
So 8 in total??
yes, but only 4 of them can go on voyages at the same time.
yes
fuck
level 89 MSQ after the 89 trial
dam
airships still need to use a variety of parts as you simply don't have enough build points to use complete sets after the 3rd or 4th ship set.
I recommend this discord for all their guides and info for the workshop stuff https://discord.gg/GAVegXNtwK
to be brutally honest, if you can spare the gil I'd recommend just buying them off the marketboard. Depending on the crafts you do you can use up a ton of shards very easily.
Besides the marketboard, you can use housing gardens and gardenpots to grow Levinlight seeds with Grade 3 Shroud Topsoil for 100 shards every 18 hours.
If you use Ishgard Restoration for leveling, you can spend the scrips on Steel Sky Pirate Spoils to exchange for lightning shards at a 40 scrip to 80 shard ratio.
i don't understand what this does
Enmity is the game's way of deciding what players the enemies will attack.
Do feint and addle stack btw?
Having the stance on makes your generation of it 10x higher, which makes enemies almost always target you.
i understand now
thank you
is there a specific way in which i should use this or just keep it on at all times?
can keep it on for the most part
yes. all buffs and debuffs stack multiplicatively for the most part.
Ohh ok thank you sm
Kk, thanks
in 8 man content theres an off tank and main tank stuff sometimes, where both tanks want stance on for certain mechanics or adds, but dont want the boss moving around a lot @hallow fern
for 95% of content just keep it on as a tank tho
i don't understand this
you'll understand when you get there
Having your stance on is the default for most of the time.
When you encounter content with two or more tanks, generally only one of the two need to keep the stance on.
why am i getting a countdown to exit the game?
because you're in an open area
and a mob can attack and cancel the log out
logging out at a city or settlement removes the countdown
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
So if you got the moon icon, you can immediately log out.
what are some of the easiest classes in the game? i know summoner is easy, ive been playing that, but i wanna figure out what i can level up next
WAR,WHM,Reaper, DNC
I'd say Samurai also gets a bit easy/loose after you get the 2nd charges of Meikyo and Tsubame in the 80's
i see!! i was thinking abt trying a tank or healer so ill probably pick up WHM or WAR
Should i buy the chest piece first or weapon for shire gear?
weapon first in terms of damage boost
i already do a tiny bit of healing since i play summoner and sometimes my healer eats shit bc they're standing on top of the tank fot some reason 💀
yep
better than the 45 min prae before
compared to 25 min now
gives like 40% of your bar as experience in the higher levels, and gives a TON of poetics
decent source of the level 90 tomestones too compared to the other roulettes
nice
i just happen to be doing prae now lol
watching the whole story quest all over xD
red mage is inaccessible during free trial right?
correct.
Red Mage/Samurai/Gunbreaker/Dancer/Reaper/Sage can't be used by trial players.
aw man :(
is it possible to change the pvp UI
be in the wolves den to edit it.
and click on the "duty" button in the Hud editor
is it just me or is there more voice acting after ARR
there is yes
ARR was made on a tighter budget so less to go towards voice acting.
guess their budget increased lol
yeah haha
even the music improved
like mog and ramuh boss battles
they blew up 1.0 so they had a pretty limited budget for 2.0 stuff
2.4 is when i personally started to notice some small changes
whens 2.4?
after ramuh
ah okay
ramuh is 2.3
gotcha
also helps that 2.4 was setting up 3.0 stuff so they had the time and space to make things higher quality
ive heard some people say the later expansions feel like completely different game
they do.
a*
nice
i already quite enjoyed arr
lol
havent played any mmo with such heavy story before
woah woah
hold up
at the end of main scenario it told me i couldnt carry anymore poetics
where do i even spend them?
Sundry splendor npcs
so i should just go for the IL130 ironworks gear for now correct?
yep
Yes
weapon first
frontlines give these poetics too?
if you queue as a job at/above level 50, then yes
is the only way to get them in the roulettes?
No
like im not sure how i'm actually obtaining them
doing post arr stuff
!faq poetics
level 50/60/70/80 content in general gives poetics
look at the reward from the instance
alright thanks
If a notorious monster has already been beaten in eureka does it not spawn in that instance from that point on
2 hour respawn timer
On the eureka timer green means it’s available to spawn right?
yep
Kk Ty
is there a cutscene in the game where you character uses their weapon
No, only draws really
Don't they use their weapon against like lahabrea
like the ones made out of light
i wish they did that more
i thought it gave you the weapon that you started the game with
does exiting and rentering euerka get you into a different instance
It can
sometimes yes, sometimes no, depending on how old the current instance is
If there's another instance and the previous instance is filled/closed
just another reason to hate eureka
Bojza works the same way in terms of instances
are there any npcs with unique/exclusive face paints?
since if you get stuck with an instance that has everything you can fight dead your screwed
yep
can't just always swap to be optimal
they learned that lesson pretty well in the diadem iirc
try to restart your game and or system/pc helps often
could also be your firewall blocking something
how do you summon your chocobo companion thing
Gyshal greens
buyable on mb?
Literally any regular merchant
