o sorry
all content except the really low level ones have an ilvl requirement
duty finder content i mean

so i am gonna get a new phone tomorrow due to my current one committing to die any second now. is it just to log in on the mogstation and disable the second password beforehand or can i download it anew and register it to my account right away without doing something like that?
you should probably go explore sqex's account options on moving your authenticator to a new phone
the whole point of the authenticator is to prevent unauthorized devices from accessing your account
your new phone counts as an "unauthorized device" until you go through the proper channels to move the authenticator
unlink your 2fa first and then relink it with the new phone
and just say theoretically that my phone would die before i get the new phone. how screwed am i then? I mean i assume i can log in and have the 2fa deactivated until i get the new phone tomorrow but still
Yeah deactivate it before it dies
Because you won't be able to log in to remove it anymore
It's pretty unlikely anything would happen to your account unless you did something dumb
So long as you have your emergency password to unlink it
you're fine
But if you did not save your emergency password somewhere, then you'd have to contact support
just found that, got it down now
Hi I lost my soul crystal for botanist. I checked and rechecked my retainers and saddlebag and its not there. I didn't save my job but I am level 15. How can I get the crystal back?
It won't let me
Why not
Empty your armoury chest, namely rings or weapons
Just got cross on the tool
Which tool
Botanic
Is it an axe or a scythe
Scythe I think. Even bought a level 15
Equip an axe first
forgot but is the 2fa something you pay for or a free thing? just remembered that you get a retainer with it so i guess of i remove this that i won't be able to access that retainer until renew it
Oh ok so get level 15 axe ill be good to go
You need to be the class to equip it
And to do that need the crystal which I don't have
No
There’s no Crystal
You only need to weapon to change classes
Gatherers and crafters* don't have crystals (*except for specialists)
Oh ok ty. I'll find the axe and equip tomorrow. Ty so much
It's free if you just use the app or any compatible apps and it gives you a free teleport destination not a retainer
okay so it is 100% safe to just remove for about 12 hours or so
Yeah you'll be fine
can you have 2 augmented classical rings?
yes

could be wrong but i think the tomestone gear and raid gear is the only stuff that you can have 1 of on you at a time
unique items can be held 1 at a time
would I get in trouble for letting my friend onto my account so she can buy me gametime
She can just get you a game time card
Given that the housing bug should be fixed now does anyone know how I can find the plot I bid on ? I already collected the money back and got the error that number 0 won.
I can't remember where I put the bid on
Is there anything up with the servers? I keep getting randomly and instantly disconnected, with no lag or actual DC
It just says that "Results period in Progress" it used to show the plot / ward but now it no longer does. I assume cause I collected the money when nr 0 won
I read today somewhere that they are letting anyone who lost to 0 reclaim the plot.
That's ... a weird, misleading way to phrase it, lol.
The article claimed that the "FF14 Lottery System issues were all solved"
The maintenance restored the data with the actual winners of the lotteries, including those lotteries that either Zero'd or said "there were no winners" or "there were no bidders".
Then you actually lost the bid, probably
That does not mean that "anyone who lost to 0" can reclaim it, just that the real winner is now able to proceed with their winnings.
So if it doesn't say my plot under the timers then I lost it
cool, thanks for the info!
Honestly it's an outright lie. Because even the article itself mentioned only the no. 0 issue, with the headline making it sound like everyone is now 100% content with everything.
You haven’t been reading all the posts have you
Well the real winner is the one that lost to 0, not the other bidders on the same plot in case there was any.
If you do not have a question we can help you with, please direct any complaints you wish to shout into the void to #rants .
No I haven't, I just read that article. I haven't read any official posts since the last patch release and the 3rd party thing.
If you're getting your announcement information from anywhere but the lodestone,
don't
End of discussion, please.
Well I just expected that articles would have at least some truth in all the sensational clickbait and not outright lies... I guess I was wrong
games journalism
not all clickbait
Welcome to journalism kid, especially gaming journalism
What did I just say.
Yes I know now, I was agreeing
!mute @feral oxide 30m
is there some kind of guide(s) for end game stuff for new players?
Define end game stuff
like what are the end game activities and how to prepare for them, what groups are looking for to do end game activities and such
i am new so don't mind me XD
Farm tomes, do your weekly 24man run for gear, get your blade from normal modes
Best way to level up a dps alt? I’m used to being heals and having short queues for duties haha 😅😅😅 probably just deal and wait lol…
Go do whatever else, extremes or savages or whatever
!faq altlvlguide
Thanks!!
does anyone know if there's a 4k version of this picture?
sadge
If you are brand new to the game entirely, just enjoy the story, you've got a long way to go before you should worry too much about endgame optimisation. =)
If you have just reached the end of Endwalker, then bear in mind we've just about reached the end of this particular tier, so the best thing you can do for the time being is work on getting the best tomestone gear you can afford, and ... if you're feeling super froggy check out some guides for the Extreme/Savages and look for some parties in Party Finder that say something like "fresh" or "learning".
@lyric rapids if you're coming from other mmos, not everythings at the endgame in 14. Almost alll content is still relatively active from the entire decade the game has been up
i see, thanks guys
So yeah, like alla said, get to the end at your own pace
i am almost at the end of Endwalker now
Get distracted, I know a dude who has the hardest achievement in the game who still hasn't finished shadowbringers
I run eureka with him
Dudes a Necromancer
lol
Still has his sprout
6.2 will probably drag his ass into Endwalker so he can get into the new deep dungeon
I spent a good chunk of arr levelling all my crafters and gatherers
Until I started needing hw materials and I hit a wall
Or the real hardcore achievement in the game: Mahjong Master.
Once you reach level 58 as a mch, do you use reassemble on hot shot or drill?
Drill
Which one has higher potency?
!action drill
Hmmm
Drill, until you unlock Air Anchor and Chain Saw
Then you can use it almost whenever but preferably drill since that lines up the best on the minute/two minute burst
if i buy the game on one account can i give the key to my other one if i havent used the codes yet? because sadly i didnt realize i used the wrong account after when i bought the expantions
If you're on PSN, nope
balance uses it on CS since it lines up better with the minute rotation but it dont matter that much anymore tbh
im on pc
Steam or Standalone
Is drk rotation more flexible than the other tanks or not? Like aligning raid buffs 🤔
All your stuff naturally fits into 2mins
Except salted earth but you just use on cooldown
standalone. bought off of square enix's store
There shouldn't be any issues then
The most annoying part of the burst is making sure you have a mit going into it if you're MT for savage or something
yokay. was just making sure thanks for the help.
So it’s still recommended to use chain saw, or you can technically use it on either air anchor, drill or chainsaw
yep
used to make it easy to fit into trick at 1 min but now...
Basically use reassemble on those three but recommended on chain saw got it
I think mch has two charges so hmmm
I’ll figure it out once I reach it
They all share the same single target potency so as long as you nail it on any of those three skills that's still a DPS increase
back in shb you used it on drill, but for EW we started with AA on prepull then moved to CS
i still use it on drill tho im hardcoded for it 
I need help on a mission I'm stuck on the mud puppy one
go to your inventory, click on key items, use the item on the mud puppy
You can easily use the item via the quest list in the tracker
That's right thank you I'm a returning player so I downloaded the the free version on my laptop so I can get use to everything again
Got it thanks again
how long should someone be a member to give them owner for FC
a month
how can i make people RP with me???
NOT ERP
idk, look at PF
i have done it and waiting
the problem is that i have no friends in this game
Strike up conversations
Also check for rp FCs
i am not good with conversations
!faq communityfinder
Then you're gonna have a rough time rping
You can’t make people RP with you, it’s their decision to go along
Cause that's what rping is
i try to start convos but no one is interested in making it friendship
Well ultimately RPing needs you to overcome this
yeah thats what i am trying to do
I don’t think we can really help you that much with such things though
i am trying to overcome my social anxioty
Much as I wish you the best, #questions-and-help isn’t a place equipped for that
sorry guys
That’s alright
what mounts is this i cant find it lol
What, if anything, do you think one should do if they come across someone they believe is a gathering bot?
Report it? Or wait until the bi-weekly bot sweep happens
Nah these guys have been around for over 2 weeks at least
How exactly do I go about reporting?
System > support desk
Are you even sure they’re bots then? What exactly are they doing
is there a way to disable the clicking/cursor sound when pressing skills without turning off all system sounds? not the error messages
if its not an option in the audio settings, then the answer is likely No
Does Square Enix or anyone else sell any FFXIV T-shirts where it's just a plain dark shirt with the FFXIV Meteor icon on the front by itself?
sounds like your hotbar is unlocked
use your keyboard
skills are completely silent
when you press their keybind
turn off bgm and sfx, turn up system sounds
then hit something
i do use kb, but i still get the ticking sound
You shouldn’t
problem is, i am getting the sound :/
the ticking sound only plays if your hotbars are unlocked and you click.
locked the whole time though, and I don't click...unless there's another setting?
What about it?
does this music video include stuff after 5.0
because I don't recall.. some of this stuff
It shouldn’t
ohh.. hmm
question
up to 5.3
did the housing period get postponed to the 26th or was it on the 17th?
thanks for clarification
It was always the 26th as the post says
my heart sank for a second because i thought i missed out a 2nd time
The housing was restored on the 17th. As per the announcement, the next lottery period will take place on the 26th. This gives the people who actually won plots but were denied their win by the server errors to claim their actual winnings.
17th was just the restoration of previous results
||well I just saw them all lying on the black floor||
great
oh well, was gonna get to that very soon anyway
That’s 5.0?
Like 1/3rd
It’s when Uri is explaining things
It’s like lvl 73
Yes
good good, didn't see anything big other than that
thats specifically in the cutscene when you meet him in il mheg
5.3 is so good
Hi I just started playing with my friend and one of our friends is in the home world Faerie but it wont let us join it says it's not accepting any more new characters, is there any way we can still play with him?
World visit to faerie
does anyone pls have summoner rotations for lvl 70??? I was gone for almost a full year, and now everything's different
Along as you make a character on the same data centre you can world visit
Super confused
Bahamut > summon each primals and spam their gemshines > repeat
Use your off globals on cooldown
oh no :-( yeah it's like a whole new class, it's much more streamlined, whether you like that or not
This stays basically the same up to 90
It doesn’t change
It looks like a shitpost but it’s pretty much what you do
I just realized I haven't even done smn class quests for 45+

scholar moment

Best start working on those then
And trance
Well that’s baby-Bahamut
If they were gone for a year and haven't done them then it's even more monkaS
All the skills prior when they played
Is there a macro i could use to activate and deactivate this option right here? I find myself doing it constantly because of swaping jobs i have idea and i don't, know there is one with mount music so want to ask for this one see if there is
Does Wondrous Tails exp reward scale with level?
its always half a level
Yup, it's percentual to your actual
Alright, so if I completed all the seals already, can I hold it off till next weekly reset so I can get the exp for my level by then? Or is it "locked in" now?
Think you can hold it and reclaim it whenever you want
so long as its within the 2 week window
you can turn it in later if you want
but you are getting half a level of exp, regardless
Okay so if I'm level 80+ by then I'll be getting half of lvl 80? Or since I'm level 73 now will I be getting level 73 exp even if I turn it in next week?
Scales to job
Alrighttt thanks
You get half a level of exp if you're 61 or 76
Or 1, so don’t waste it on low levels
Apart from BLM SPS builds, does any other jobs currently use the aspho pants?
I know smn has a sps build
How can I make it show an enemy’s health percentage?
So uh, do "sects" still exists in Astrologian? Reading it in the wiki and confuzzled
No
o h
Which wiki are you reading?
If it’s the fandom one that one can be hilariously outdated
sheesh Idk what guides to read
Consolegameswiki is decent for reading up on content unlocks, and Gamerescape is great for viewing items
There’s also garland tools which works as a database type of website for finding stuff
and as far as class roles
For job guides and endgame guides, the balance discord is the main go-to
!faq balance
Though they’re tailored around max level guides
well shoot
WeskAlber on YouTube makes leveling guide videos giving sample rotations and openers for various levels
”Display target's remaining HP percentage" on the HUD tab under UI Settings in the Character Configuration interface
also probably the most difficult question
hotbar management tips for controller users?
Whatever you find comfortable and easy to access, and make sure to take advantage of the hold crossbar and WXHB options in the cross bar settings in character config
My general go-to for setting up jobs on controller is like this:
Set one Right Half = main combo/GCD skills you'll use very often.
Set one Left Half = low cooldown skills or buffs I use frequently. AoE GCDs sometimes go here depending on job.
Hold Crossbar = holds most of my main cooldowns and sometimes AoE combos. I also have both Hold Crossbar shortcuts lead to the same buttons for ease of use.
WXHB = niche/situational skills, like role actions
Okay so there are some people that I've been suspecting are some sort of gathering bots or accounts used for RLT. If I'm not 100% sure should I still submit a report? Can they be reported if they're just gathering for RLT (for which I would have no proof)?
Bots generally make very fixed/precise movements, so SE can tell who is or isn’t a bot if they’re reported
(Of course then there’s the obvious bots that use teleporting to quickly move around and reach impossible spots)
I just don't want to get in trouble if I report and they aren't bots. I think they're either bots or controlled by more than one person to farm for gil for RLT.
No matter what time of day I'm in these particular areas for the various nodes or gathering spots I find them at, they're there. Always
Some of them are wanderers and one I saw standing in one spots for over 24 hours.
is there a way for me to buy only one of the pieces of a set from mog station, I dont need the whole thing
nope
bruh
whole set or nothing
I sent a support request to change my birthdate on my account, but I didn't get an email saying it went through, is there supposed to be one?
As long as it’s not done maliciously, false reports are usually ignored/forgiven
Ty!
best dps?
!faq meta
I'm new to housing, if I allow guest access to my room what can they change or do? What are the risks I guess
@crystal otter you can set permissions for various stuff like editing furniture, using the gardening plots and chocobo stable
Wait room, yea they can't change anything
Basically what's this for is what I want to know, it has me worried lol
its whether other people can come into your house
they cant change anything unless they are a tenant
i believe there is a seperate menu for tenant permissions
Ah, so is the discretion warning more related to the contents of your room then...? Idk
no its like use your own discretion as to whether or not you want to let people into your house
if you dont allow guest access then only you can enter
Ok cool
Can you get the lances Estinien uses?
He has the one from HW and then in other stuff he has a red one
Estinien uses the Gae Bolg relic weapon
the red one im not sure
it looks different
the red one might be unique to him
The red one is unique, but you can get pretty close with dyes
The post HW stuff is just the Stormblood dragoon set
So I have a friend who is considering coming back to play who is one of those people who basically skipped all the story and now realises they've kinda missed out on one of the big selling points of the game.
Somehow they skipped cutscenes while playing all the way through to shadowbringer.
What is the most optimal way to experience the story if you skipped it? I know there is NG+ but I know you get 0 rewards from it which is frustrating. There are plenty of recap videos but I think the thing they lack is the conveyance of the emotional moments and bomb drops.
well aside from new game+ they can make an alt
Ng+ is the easiest and best way
yea I was trying to the find the obvious "best" playlist on youtube but there are always things off about it, or missing entire expansions and such
there's no real way to have the same experience without just replaying it
recap videos are just going to explain it
Preach is pretty recent and he has all his vods on a vod channel
i wouldnt recommend pyro if you just want to follow the story lol
All three of them are playing with the context of having played WoW as their primary game previously, though.
right okay so less just the story but also someone giving their persepctive
No. Nobbel and Pyro in particular are "lore" players.
They are 1000% in it for the story.
Preach is a little more well-rounded. He goes for gameplay as much as story.
pyro takes like a few mins in between every line writing notes and not really saying anything
is it unedited or have they done the due-diligence to cut out the fluff of quests as well?
let me check them quick
There are better options than just stream VODs for story-only.
they wanted perspective though
like say NG+
personally i enjoy preach's the most
The problem with saying you want to convey the "emotional" moments is that different moments hit differently for everyone.
yea absolutely
There's no "best" videos to watch from that perspective because what hits emotionally for me might be completely different from what hits emotionally for someone else.
Or vice versa.
Like, some of the moments in the final zone of Endwalker, a lot of people said they got super emotional, but I felt... nothing.
Really it might be best for your friend to just NG+ and form their own reactions rather than trying to piggyback off someone else's.
yea it seems like, it's just kinda shit that they get no rewards or anything from it
If their purpose is to relive the story that they skipped, then rewards aren't really the primary concern.
you already got the rewards, by doing the story the first time
I’m playing on ps4 is it mixing with all platforms or just ps4
That’s good thanks
When you're doing gpose, how can I get my character to do my idol pose? It doesn't let me select change pose in the emote select
This may be a silly question, But im trying to set CTRL and Shift to my side mouse buttons. I've made the changes on my mouse software, but cant get it to recognize in game. Is there a setting in game where i can make the same change?
You can change your key bindings, and try to hit the mouse buttons you want in there
No, the problem must lie with your mouse software
But unsure if this will give you the functions you desire
There’s no way to get the game to do it
Weird. I want it to be crtl and shift to switch active hotbars, but i dont see where to change those in the key bindings. my hands are too old to be reaching all over the keyboard these days. lol.
Active hotbars?
Like I have commands on 1-9 , ctrl 1-9, shift 1-9 and numpad
They’re typically used as modifiers not switches
And you can have 4 bars
Yeah so you bind each slot of that hotbar
Shift-1 shift-2 etc
Bind each slot individually
instead of holding shift and ctrl, wanted to use the left and right buttons on the mouse to determine shift and ctrl.
You want to have all your hotbars onscreen.
That’s not possible
youd have to reconfigure the actual mouse profile
Which you have used
Are you doing the binds slot by slot though?
There is no setting that’s just a blanket “hold shift to use hotbar 2”
Yeah, I've set it up, but ff just isnt recognizing it.
You bind each slot one by one
Yes. So when i Hold top button and 4, I would want it to be Shift 4 on the keybindings I set up.
sometimes it takes a minute for a profile to swap over
If it’s not working then something’s not right with your mouse software
are you sure its
a) set as your active mouse profile
b) set up to recognize its an FF profile if capable
Are they working as shift and ctrl outside the game?
Yep outside the game it works just fine.
what does it say on the keybind when you try to use shift+4 just mouse whatever number it is?
only highlights the bottom bar unless im hitting shift or control on the keyboard. Hotbar 3 is ctrl and same buttons
So can you use those skills with the mouse button and number?
so what happens when you actually try to redo the keybind using the side buttons
It'll recognize mouse 5, but i cant add 1-10 to it
hmmm could you show us more about what shows up in your mouse profile
so you can do shift+m5 but not m5+0
valc he changed his mouse side buttons to be shift/ctrl
it sounds like there was a setting missed at the profile step
Thats the full software.
oh this is one ive never used before hmmmm whats it say in system or is that just your system settings
Checking in a different game to see if the issue is just FF being picky
Works fine in fortnite, so must just be a fortnite issue where the mouse buttons override the profile.
Like the keybinds overwrite the mouse software
Stupid suggestion, but try rebinding them by pressing the button you bound to shift on your mouse to do so, rather than shift on your kb
I used https://support.eu.square-enix.com and filled out the form to have my birthdate changed on my sqex account, but didn't recieve an email regarding that the form was submitted. Did it not submit or is there no confirmation email?
The Square Enix Support Centre is a centralised support site that provides product information and solutions to the most frequently asked questions and issues with our products and services.
They tried and the game said mouse 5
I mean I closed the tab a few hours ago
but did it say it submitted or not
that's the thing I don't remember lol

I'll just fill it again, it's been like 5 or 6 hours and I got nothing back so
having a hard time comparing which to use primarily, Standard or Aspected Helion
One has regen the other doesn’t
if you HAVE to spam you use normal
normal has higher pot
aspected has less pot but heals more over time
I basically do, it's aurum vale
then figure out if you need a lot of heals NOW or if you want more healing but over time
and use whichever
yeah definitelt the former then
sheesh, Aurum felt more straightforward as a WHM
ah well, the quest for Level 50 stops for no man
thats because whm is braindead
no that's fair
Use Aspected Benefic and Essential Dignity too 
also whm has the same thing with medica and medica 2
never have I ever used Medica II
pretty sure all healers do
you should absolutely use medica 2
its literally the exact same thing as helios and asp helios
medica 2 heals more in total
true
AV isn’t even bad past the first room
I’m looking for a moogle manservant to assist me and my friend on missions, where do I go to hire?
First off, what?
Second if you want to pay someone in game, to do something in game…you should ask in game
Like the roes that pretend to be big moogles. I can’t find any in limsa, I don’t know if they gather else where for their moogle things.
you mean people who just happen to dress up as moogles
youre better off asking in game
So they don’t have a universal place of gathering?
They’re just people on the internet dude, doing something they enjoy doing
Yes, but they must be very unique people with unique tastes
no?
the moogle costume is on the cash shop
and its not the only animal costume that exists
But it’s the only one that has seemed to form a subculture
i think you think its bigger than it really is my dude
ive seen way more people in the frog costume than the moogle one
ive only ever seen the moogle costume on people trying to stream snipe tbh
Maybe it’s a goblin thing
Honestly in the time it took to have this convo, you and your friend could’ve just done whatever it is you wanted to do
It’s more about the experience of adventuring with an enormous moogle
So buy the costume…problem solved
But I play a highlander
What's the minimum possible for A4S, a duo? Trio?
Solo if your burst is good enough
So the main thing is getting the fourth leg down fast enough, noted
Is it just the one time, or does it try it again?
Is there a way to change the 4th hotbar from being universal?
I believe it's this settings.
Thank you kindly
Am I dumb or have I heard parts of Flow in-game somewhere
Most likely. FFXIV loves to take bits and pieces from other musical things in itself to remind you of the journey you’ve had so far
It's one of many leimotifs
its literally in the sharlayan theme
anyone need a recruitment code?
does this mean, I can buy this from someone named "emery" in gc..? to get this item?
Emery is a material
Its sold at your gc
To craft it you need one Emery and one Iolite
For 1.5k seals
eh? how do i craft something that requires itself..?
needing Iolite
Make ugly stone into pretty stone
Shave brown off gem
Make shiny
i-.. don't understand any of that
Raw Iolite
ig i should just wait till I get all those class to 50/60 first
Just get raw iolite and emery and craft them and you get iolite
Its better if you look at your crafting menu in game
A lot better
But that doesn't tell you where its sold so you'll have to look it up
so Ig I need to make gatherer, goldsmith, weaver all lvl60 before i can even make this glamour
Or…buy the items on mb
You're better off buying it unless you're free trial
Thavnairian silk is the hardest to get because of maps
Yeah good luck with that silk
You gather it from nodes
unless it means the actual map
It just randomly shows up
ok ig since thats hard, is there any glamours thats at 50-60 levels and easy to get compared to this one
Uraes Coat fits that criteria..?
Many
is there any way for me to filter out the hard recipes
in that site
i assume no
I mean if they have stars next to them, that’s a high end craft
!quest Treasures and Tribulations
Oh yeah here’s the map thing

is that the intro this whole maps thing?
since I am not familiar with the whole thing yet
can i start farming this place at like lvl40 main role
so that by the time I get other classes up
I can get the silk
unless it needs some class at high level for even to get the silk in the first place
Dragonskin maps are lvl 60 and meant to be done with 8 people
nice
what do you recommend,
-> My main job, archer is at lvl41 for now
-> did start gatherer and is like lvl15 now
-> weaver, goldsmith not started yet
-> story line is at the ifrit part.
should I make archer 60 first before levelling up others so that way I can atleast start doing those maps..? then again what happens to your gear lvl49. how do you get higher level gear? from tomes which I get from somewhere which is used to buy gear post lvl50?
Cross all those roads when they’re actually relevant, you’re at lvl 20 msq
focus on MSQ first tbh, you unlock more things as you finish the MSQ
Only on msq but shouldn't I focus on maximizing other stuffs alongside?
That’s on you
Like getting classes for gc seal farming
once you finish the 2.0 MSQ you should unlock a NPC that sell gear for 50 at all 3 main towns
Oh
they will be the best gear you can get all the way until you hit 60
We’re just telling you that putting off the story is doing nothing for you
which is will unlock another NPC that sell you the best 60 tome gear once you finish HW MSQ
and so on until 90
Ohh
It falls off at about 55 when dungeon gear becomes better
Ok gotcha
But again, you’ll cross those roads when they’re relevant, you’ve barely progressed the plot
it's still viable tho,
Makes sense, what classes are required for supply provisioning
Yes, just didn't want anyone to think it's the best gear until 60
So that I can do them daily and keep the seals flowing
Gatherers crafters
All of the sub branches?
That’s not a thing
I mean like in case of gatherer, not just botany but all others as well
And like all 8 classes of crafter
to be fair, most of the normal contents are easy enough that unless you are a tank that is sleeping on mitigation, the tome gear can carry you through normal content all the way to the end of that expansion
So unlock them all and get to lvl10 atleast?
You don’t need any levels for the missions
This is not the case for bardams mettle.
It’s just free exp for turning in things you’d get anyway
I mean bardam mettle unless you go w2w, you should still be fine
Wouldn't I need higher levels if i want to craft/gather higher lvl stuffs that's being asked for in supply & provisioning
No
but if you go w2w in bardam mettle, I'm going to assume you already know what you are doing
So even lvl1 works and I can clear those missions? Interesting
If you’re lvl 1, it’ll ask for something lvl 1
As a tank, specifically, the gear range between crafted, mb gear and the tomb gear is significant.
Anyhow let's drop the gear talk, this isn't the channel to argue about it
Bardams is also the first dungeon in which your gear stays begin to fall off in storm blood. Which is why some players struggle with it.
Thanks @boreal storm 🫂
tbh each expansion tends to have that one dungeon that can kill people if you aren't prepared for it
ARR is The Wanderer's Palace
HW got the The Vault
SB got Bardam's Mettle
and ShB got Dohn Mheg
EW got Vanaspati
Guys, move it to another channel
and girls and nonbinaries
Does every small house have the same layout, such as door and stairs location? Or not?
yes
Cool
only thing that ever varies is the yard layout
sometimes it's centered, sometimes you have more space on one side
alright what are the possible reasons why my sprout FC member can't see the Legacy of Allag quest
i've gone down the fuckin checklist and nothing
at this point I'm gonna need a screenshot from this guy to figure out the issue
Hate to be a bother, I'm kind of new to the game. I mained healer up till half way through heavensward and am trying to branch into other roles, does anyone know the positionals for dragoon/lancer?
fang and claw, wheeling thrust, chaos thrust
At least lvl 50 so dont think about it yet
Ty ❤️
Does your friend check the journal cus he might take the quest already
Oh wait, tell him to do some 2.1 MSQ
but I drove them to Rammbroes and apparently he doesn't have a quest for them either
they're past 2.1
Might want to check complete quest as well, case sensitive and non-partial search so try Legacy first
Your friend bought a boost?
naw
i figured it out
they're actually 4 quests deep
they screenshotted their quest journal for me to find that
so is this thing easy to get compared to other one since it doesn't have anything from map? 
obtainable at lvl50 itself?
also can you queue for palace of dead from your duty finder?
No
Lame
I assume it is
its pretty cheap on the market, like under 50k
You are trying to craft receipt from master book 1, the crafting endgame of ARR, it requires chess drop, hidden node and a bunch of HQ mat, easy is just non exist
I see
You need to level all DoL and DoH in free trial to at least 50
is there anyway to sort garlandtools to find me lower level accessible recipes
just to check what all options are there
this filter doesn't do that
Just look at your recipe list in game
where is that? crafting log?
Right click on crafting receipt, check material tree
or different
It will show you intermediaries and base mat
ah
Do the Eurekan chain-based drop increases apply to the Light you get in Pagos?
how can I get better gear while levelling DoL (70-90 range) without spending lots of gil? im stuck tryna do crystarium deliveries with lvl 50-65 gear and strugglin
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Unlocking Radz-at-Han's House of Splendors (Radz-at-Han x11, y9)
You should’ve upgraded a long time ago if you’re still using lvl 50 gear
oooohhh i was looking at the usual tomestone vendors but only saw materia and books for scrips, didnt see the scrip exchange people at the different place, cheers!
Also if you cant see any of the above quest, just change to a DoL or DoH matching lvl requirement
tyty!
You didn’t select the gear section also
funny thought
someone else is already giving clear help, ty tho!
without any MSQ progress, what's the highest level map a new player can be ferried to?
I'm pretty sure they can be ferried into a heavensward zone
maybe?
ARR zones
well no I guess they'd require ishgard access
if you have a house in foundation, I wonder if they can exit to it
I know kugane doesnt let you use the boat
when do I get astrologian artifact armor?
What level do you get the job at?
It would be lvl60 then
bOO
I believe that goes for all jobs that start out high
Like RDM
I know BLU gets its set at lvl50 and lvl70
Quick to level though
Just do Roulette and you'll get there in a few days
@rapid oasis sets from sb on have a starter set but don't get an actual af set til the level cap of their expansion
Ast doesn't have a starter set
Blu is a law unto itself
Didn't know that fact so I assumed they all followed the same pattern
Sorry for the misinformation
?
Blue mage is completely it's own thing, do not treat it like any of the other jobs
Ah, I see
I had heard something about that but I didn't assume it extended to gear sets
I know the BLU gear sets cause I wanted a better one so I looked it up and was disappointed
RDM a friend told me I'd get the next one at 60 or 70, though they couldn't remember
red mage gets its first af set at 70
Am having trouble understanding which of these settings does what I want, which of these settings make it so people in said rank are allowed to invite people, but I have to sign off on them first to let them into the guild?
Just invitations
you can't sign off on it though, applications are only for people who join when they find your FC house or use Inspect Player feature to open the FC information UI and join there
how do i chnage from the old pvp actions to the new ones? the quest in the wolves dim from zelgungi didnt changte anythibg
cheers
Bless ya
Sooooo, im new to ffxiv and I really want to get into this game... hell I want to finish it. But the thing is I know absolutely nothing about Mmorpgs so I would really appreciate if some of you guys could point me which server is beginner friendly/casual cuz I know not everybody likes noobs like me 
!faq worldpick
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
Amazing, big thanks ! 
ye, as for new player info, the game does a great job holding your hand
but if you want extra info

Also if you're in a big city, ask around to be invited to the Novice Network - it's like this channel where you can ask for help, but in-game! 🙂
Aight, I will !

What is the NN ?

Got it
Hey there! Is it worth to materia up at level 85? It's basically level 90 so might right as well wait right?
No
Only worth it at 90
It's always only worth it at the current highest level?
You're still being synced and swapping gear
Yes, cause you're not going to be synced often or swapping gear as frequently doing endgame content
alrighty! thanks
is it useful to meld gear lvl 90 that are not the most powerful one ? i mean i bought a lvl 90 HQ gear at the market board for my DRK and wonder if i should meld it
You’ll be removing the materia anyways when you upgrade
i can place materias on another gear?
Right click > retrieve
oh
High chance to lose it though
looks at my gear with all tier 10
Any tips on defeating Lambard?
Who's that again?
Red Mage lvl60 duty
Do the mechanics, don't get hit by avoidable stuff
Oh! uhhh
Destroy one of the fireballs
Just one will suffice
and heal before he casts his soul... thing... hold on
I literally killed him like 2 days ago
Problem is I can barely cast before he starts casting himself
If you're taking too much damage your gear is shit
Ah
What do you open with?
Yeah, I can't get lvl60 gear just yet
They're expecting around 170 ilvl give or take
Get shire in idyllshire if you have access
By trying to fill my gauge
No I mean what spell?
I haven't even started Heavensward yet
See, that’s an issue
Then you can't do it
Fletche
Shire gear is ilvl 270
I see
Dont start with ogcds
Start with Jolt
It gives you dualcast which lets you instacast verthunder or veraero
alternate between the two
idk if verfire and verstone are unlocked at that level?
They are
if you arent in heavensward yet you dont rly need to do the lvl60 rdm quest
Lv60 quests are aimed at people who are in roughly lv58 gear
Why jolt?
To proc dualcast
Because it gives you dualcast
!action Jolt
Ogcds?
Instant spells like fleche
!faq weaving
here we go
Like fleche
Spells share a cooldown, called the global cooldown
Starting with ogcds delays your gcd and is a significant damage lost
You know what I meant by spells
So when you cast jolt it triggers the cooldown of all your spells and weapknskills
Pedantics that matter
Aside from Fletche, I use Aero/Thunder II followed by Aero/Thunder I and switch back and forth
I start with Fletche cause of the 25 second cooldown
nawwww
You're doing it wrong
Aero/Thunder have a long cast time
You're using aoe in single target
You don't want to hardcast them
For another example
My eyes
!action veraero ii
Oh oop
Which is wrong vs 1 target
!action veraero
I'm on RDM right now I'm just tired lmao
As a white mage, I weave in Assize to do damage every 45 seconds
!faq 50rdm
This is your basics
Are you getting all of this? Because everyone's just throwing definitions at you lmao
Look at the infographic it helped me alot
So don't use II unless multiple peeps then?
Yeah
No need to cast aoes on a single target and aoes deal less damage right?
It fills up the gauge quicker then Volt does though
Yeah but that's not your main concern
!action Verstone
idk man focus on dealing damage and manage your mana second
It's really almost brainless
I hate DPS classes because of rotations and RDM is like the easiest one I played so far
Reaper is there too
I thought that my main concern was filling my gauge up then using it, that's why I've been doing the way I've been doing it
Reaper is low skill Floor
And btw, are openers useful in dungeon? or it's only for a big boss in raids ? because i struggle in learning my opener and then my rotation for a big pull in dungeon or other things
Depends on job
If you can line it up
I'm drk
I tried to play BLM and the rotation is ridiculous so I just dropped it
Drk is just “random bullshit go”
Usually if you dump 2mins in the first trash pack they'll be back for the boss
On average
Rotation?
Ah
Idk what else to call it
It's slightly faster sure but it's not worth the damage loss
BLM isn’t that bad? Other than that one graphic someone made
It's the order you rotate your skills
I'm not familiar with terminology
Idk it felt so complicated
All I know is kill
Well that’s not enough
Kill as quickly and efficiently as possible
Well it's not efficient :(
Which you're not doing
Well I didn't know that
It's okay!
I definitely prefer BLM
Using aoe skills in single target is never correct on any job
do all buffs & mitigation in general stack multiplicatively?
Yes
Multiplicity
You're right
I thought it was multiplicatively?
Vinyl spelled wrong
It's all spell dumbly
Multiplicatively
That's why everyone uses raid buffs at the same time
Yeah, it’s multiplicatively, multiplicity just means a big number
And why you generally avoid stacking mitigation unless it's necessary to live
is it possible to add party commendation after the run is over and I got back to town? I always forgot about it.
No
No
😣
What’s re forgotten fragment from Borja used for
Appraise it to unlock lost actions
4 is the maximum chat tab i can have? can i have more?
Only 4
sad
Yellow, please confirm
The quests I am supposed to do in Eureka (first area) will NOT** have any MARK
like so?
Rather, as I read, I have to go the area blindly and find a quest?
when you talk to krile she gives you general directions of where you need to go
to find the objective
Is there any announcement for upcoming event?
#lodestone-news-na says no
Whenever there is an upcoming event, the Lodestone will announce it shortly ahead of time. We do not have a months-long advanced schedule of events.
Is there any fixed period after which events usually come
No.
Ok
Ah
this might be a dumb question since I'm already quite a bit far on my crafting gathering journey.
but what is the optimal way to get skins to make leathers for crafting? Is the retainer questing thing literally the only way or is there a way for me as a player to get skins optimally?
Oki gotcha
Go kill the mobs
yea gotchya, but are you at the whim of the drop rates when it comes to getting what you want?
Obviously yes
You can also buy them off the market board if you have the gil and aren't on free trial.
is there anything similar to Gosetsu's hat for females?
Is there a way to turn off party search? I'm constantly seeing "of the xx parties currently recruiting..." in chat and I wasn't looking for one
Open party finder and open the party finder settings to turn it off
Thanks
u.u o
thank you
I hate gathering & crafting jobs so my friend does them for me but I still want to help out through combat means. I farm extreme bosses for materials for him but he also needs high level materials to desynthesize in order to create those weapons from bosses. Anyone know enemies, trials, fates, or dungeons I can run in order to help get these materials in ARR? Thanks in advance!
if someone transfers from one preferred world to another, they keep thier road to 80 buff right?
fairly certain no
because you'd be out of your 90 day window
and from what i read on the lodestone page, the road to 80 only applies to transfer to new worlds, not preferred
ah ok
Remind me again why the Lucky Bancho server data isn't 100% reliable? I'm trying to explain it to someone and I don't want to get it wrong.
mostly because its unofficial and scrapping information from the lodestone
out of all of the censuses, its the most reliable because it looks for changes to the lodestone profile. like exp gained, new minion etc
it also does cut out characters under 60
basically tl:dr unofficial website should be taken with a grain of salt
what happens to my estates if I change my world/server?
Like, a visit, or permanently?
perma
If you make a permanent world change, you must give up any houses, plots, and apartments you own.
They can't transfer with you, mostly because someone on the server you're going to most likely already owns the corresponding plot on that world.
is there a way to test my ping with all servers?

is it worth doing doman restoration?
Is there a glamour dresser type item for housing?
i heard the recent policy change means that gshade is bannable if you get caught now is that true
There's no policy change
Whoever told you that doesn't know what they're on about
No policies have been changed
didn't they say they were going to start cracking down on third party tools
No
They re stated the same stance we've had since the launch of arr
no
That and gshade in interviews has candidly been approved
Rip
i mean they've been ignoring act use on streams for year now then suddenly banned someone for it
We go through this song and dance every raid tier
Sigh
Cause they were mass reported by 4chan
Becomes idiots on streams with act overlays get reported and they can't not respond to a very blatant reports with video evidence
Third party stuff has always been bannable, they just don't chase after people or have means to detect it
In the words of yoshi p and this is a direct quote
Don't get caught
Very very simple
