#

Do you guys like it?

faint flare
#

The vast majority do cause it's well designed

viral oracle
#

I’m liking the game so far so I might just get the expansions

oak lily
#

I like rpr

viral oracle
#

I’m looking at a guide for it. It looks good

narrow jay
#

Reaper hit that nice niche where the learning barrier for entry is really low and it's not super difficult to play, while having a very satisfying playstyle.

heavy wadi
#

fairly decent at reaper, it's a very solid job and isn't hard to play

#

easy to adjust etc

narrow jay
#

And feels good to play, honestly.

#

Like, it hit a lot of good points from a class design perspective.

heavy wadi
#

yeah, the sfx design on rpr makes it super satisfying

viral oracle
#

Okay dope? I’m trying to get at least one job to 90 rn so it’ll probably be Samurai. But I have my eyes on rpr, idk how you guys pick mains in this game it’s so hard

oak lily
#

I mean you need to be 90 to finish EW

jovial quarry
#

Play whatever you want and switch whenever. This game makes it easy to do.

viral oracle
#

What’s endgame for ffxiv? I mean after you beat the main story what’s next

oak lily
#

whatever you want

obsidian patio
#

8-man raids and their savage version, 8-man trials and their Extreme version, and 24-man alliance raids as the main combat endgame

#

And then the occasional 8-man ultimate raid as the peak of content difficulty

remote lintel
#

housing, glamour, gposing

viral oracle
#

Sounds really fun

remote lintel
#

unsubbing until the next major patch then resubbing and doing that msq and content

viral oracle
#

LOL

remote lintel
#

you think im joking but im not

#

some people do that

Relic weapons seems difficult to get

narrow jay
#

They are.

open coral
#

They're not difficult

remote lintel
#

i wouldnt say theyre difficult

open coral
#

Just time consuming

remote lintel
#

just grindy

narrow jay
#

Well yeah, that's the only difficulty

remote lintel
#

the content itself is not difficult its just doing dungeons and stuff

narrow jay
#

it just takes a longass time

viral oracle
#

It’s kinda no reason to get relic weapons from old expansions just should wait until I get into endwalker

#

The glamour is confusing to me as well

open coral
#

They're glamour

#

That's the only purpose to them now

Items section I think

oak lily
#

or that

#

yeah, its under items

cobalt vessel
#

yo guys, i finally subscribe to the game. i wanna add some random that i played together about a month ago. Does he need to be online first so i can find him at player search?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

#

If their home world is different from yours, you must also visit their world to find them in player search

leaden ginkgo
#

NIN question: why use fleeting raiju when forked raiju exists?

remote lintel
#

ones a gap closer and the other is just a regular gcd

faint flare
#

Gap closer with animation lock

#

Vs a normal gcd

#

They used to be a combo but everyone fucking hated it cause it was 3 forced animation locks in a row

leaden ginkgo
#

fair about animation lock, but that seems like a very minor issue

faint flare
#

It's not

#

When mechanics happen and forced animation lock fucks you and kills you

#

It's major isuee

leaden ginkgo
#

that's fair, i'm an ex loldrg player so... used to it

faint flare
#

There's even funky stuff that happens if you gap close while a boss moves, there's a few various clips about it

cold quarry
#

ah that

faint flare
#

Like you use spin the fuck around and go God knows where

remote lintel
#

a lot of aoes in endgame content cast after about 3s or so and the animation lock is almost a full second

#

so if you get animation locked in the latter half of the cast then you almost fuck yourself

leaden ginkgo
#

again, i'm so used to RDM and lolDRG i guess i didn't notice it, but i see your points

#

looks like fleeting raiju >> forked raiju unless you happen to use it as a gap closer

remote lintel
#

i mean it's almost happened to me as a tank with my gap close so

leaden ginkgo
#

when shukuchi is on c/d or something

oak lily
#

I mean drg doesn't really lock anymore

leaden ginkgo
#

When they add a new weekly capped tomestone will you be able to exchange astronomy, the old one, for it?

faint flare
#

No

#

Cause astronomy will still exidt

#

Aphorisms go and you exchange that for astronomy

leaden ginkgo
#

they are adding new tomestones already? o.0

#

gotcha

#

not for a while

obsidian patio
#

Not yet

faint flare
#

In the major even patches as always

leaden ginkgo
#

and astronomy will still be for radiant gear? while the the new tomes are for a new gear I'm guessing

twilit arch
#

yes

faint flare
#

And also crafting mats

oak lily
#

what's the exchange rate?

faint flare
#

4:1 as usual

chilly wave
#

If I’m trying to lv up alt classes to 70 then is it faster to do HoH or queue for dungeons as DPS, I already finished tank and healers

faint flare
#

If ques are 15mins or more than hoh is better

chilly wave
#

Then yea HoH it is

leaden ginkgo
#

yea HoH usually

I’ve been trying to access characters from my PlayStation account and carry them over to PC, but I’ve been having many issues. Please help

oak lily
#

just login?

bronze shuttle
#

Hi,
does anyone know how long it takes for support to react to a ticket? I got phished - still have access to Mog-station (changed password and added OTP) but cannot log into the game. Mog-station says my service account is suspended (I suspect due to the phishing and probably suspicious activity) but I have no idea how to unsuspend it. Any ideas?

errant swan
warm snow
#

We don't know yet

#

Probably just gonna be new mgp furniture

bleak spoke
# oak lily just login?

I login, and the characters aren’t there acts as if the account is fresh even though I’ve gone through the process of connecting it on mogstation

oak lily
#

it shows you have the license?

twilit arch
#

are you certain you're on the correct datacenter?

bleak spoke
#

Primal/famfrit/NA and when I check mogstation it shows I have license for ARR and HSW for PC and everything else for PS

oak lily
#

so then buy EW

errant swan
#

@warm snow TY

bleak spoke
#

I’d have to rebuy endwalker to even access my characters on another platform?

warm snow
#

If your characters are in Endwalker zones

twilit arch
#

go to the main menu and select datacenter

oak lily
#

gotta match licenses, I think?

twilit arch
#

make sure it says primal is the datacenter selected

#

and no

oak lily
#

I play on Steam, so idk much about the other ones

twilit arch
#

you can log in without owning endwalker

#

you just can't have the characters in endwalker zones

#

else the game wouldn't let you log in to the character

bleak spoke
#

They’re sitting in ARR zones, just whenever I log in there’s no characters and I’ve checked to make sure it was the correct one multiple times

#

It was asking for a registration code upon first downloading the installer but it crashed and when I reopened I never had to input a code just started the launcher

obsidian patio
#

Are you on an expansion job? That can also stop you

bleak spoke
#

After that I reinstalled both to check if that was the issue but I never got the prompt to input code again

twilit arch
#

can you post a screenshot of character select, please?

bleak spoke
#

Give me a moment

buoyant monolith

What’s the recommended sword /or War Axe for gladiator level 28 or above?

warm snow

The one you get from your job quests

boreal storm
#

And or dungeons

oak lily
#

Haukke

buoyant monolith
#

I see

warm snow
#

Just use the gear from msq and job quests until you finish the story

boreal storm
#

Make sure it’s gear for your job
Wearing gear that doesn’t give your main stat is basically worthless

buoyant monolith
#

One teny tiny problem I’m stuck on the little storm Cho quest and I don’t know where to get the permit at

patent citrus
#

talk to your GC vendor

Hi everyone, asking for advice again...
So I'm almost lvl 30 while doing lvl 18/19 MSQ, so my question is after I become BLM at lvl 30, since I'm interested in another class too (WHM) should I switch and continue MSQ with WHM? If yes, do you have any advice on how to reach lvl 15ish fast?

can i exchange the werewolf boots for female for the male version or do i need to buy a second set just for the boots

!faq job

zinc orbitBOT
#
How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

patent citrus

although would recommend to continue till you done your novice training and get that

#
How do I make my chocobo fight?

You can unlock the ability to have your chocobo also be an overworld party member and fight alongside you when you reach level 30 and have completed the quest My Feisty Little Chocobo . As the tutorial states, you do need to feed your bird gysahl greens in order to summon them. Click here for a list of npcs that sell them.

What trees do spec into for my chocobo?
The typically recommended chocobo skill point allocation is to get 4 ranks into the healing tree for choco cure, followed by maxing out the DPS tree. The tank tree does not allow your chicken to gain enough enmity to surpass your own output, so its shelved for last. You can eventually max out every tree, though to level your chocobo past rank 10 you will need Thavnairian Onions

patent citrus
#

you are close

ocean sonnet
#

Yeah I didn't think about the Hunting Log, that's perfect
I'll unlock the Chocobo when I hit lvl 30 and then start playing WHM then, thanks guys!

patent citrus
#

once you get your chocobo as your pocket healer, you can just buy 999 gysahl green and let them heal you, while you spam stone as WHM

#

overworld content will become easy peasy

oak lily
#

do you have conjurer leveled?

pure zenith

thats what hes trying to do woods

oak lily

What are some nice earrings for tank?

ocean sonnet
patent citrus
#

yeah, don't be afraid to level them all

pure zenith

since its the same chocobo

#

you can just wear scavean, till the dungeon drops you a better one

#

scavean is the lv 70 poetics gear that you can purchase from kugane when you finished SB

hollow grove
#

Stormblood or Shadowbringer?

patent citrus
#

stormblood

#

for lv 70 gears

hollow grove
#

Ah thx

patent citrus
#

go to kugane aetheryte plaza using your /teleport, then look at your map

#

there should be a blue pouch icon NPC close to you, buy from that person

hollow grove
#

Aight I gotcha thx again

Im sure this is dumb but i cant figure it out. Ive been doing botanist stuff. Im level 48. Yesterday I was getting Mirror apples and leveling up that way. Today, wearing the same gear, these Lvl 50 trees only show Lvl 1 Ice Shards. What am i doing wrong?

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

Wonder if they'll change more bosses in post arr

viral oracle
#

I still don’t understand how glam works in this game

faint flare
#

You're copying the look of the gear into your current gear

warm snow
viral oracle
#

Yeah I get that but do they have clothes that you can actually use… or is it armor you pick up

#

And you have to get any crafting and gathering to 15?

boreal storm
#

All equipment can be glammed

viral oracle
#

I tried to do a lvl 1 set on lvl 60 and it didn’t work lol

boreal storm
#

Then you did it the wrong way, use the glam dresser and make a plate

warm snow
#

There's rules

viral oracle
#

I’ll try to watch a guide

warm snow
#

You glam has to obey class restrictions

#

Can't dress a black mage in paladin armor

#

Can't make shit look better than it actually is

#

Ie make a lv1 spear look like a level 90 one

boreal storm
#

So your example earlier was likely you trying to make the lvl 1 look like the lvl 60

viral oracle
#

Ah makes sense, sets and optimization and aesthetic is gonna take a while

warm snow
#

Bitch I'm fabulous

viral oracle

#

Make bunny looks dope

#

hey guys i'm probably going to ask a dumb question but i've been playing for like almost 2 weeks i think (free trial) and just found out about the job quest after level 35, the thing is that my action bar is full- i dont know if i should remove something or what...

viral oracle
#

I’m thinking about going straight to the Heaven on High Floors to level my Sam I’m lvl 58 should I?

warm snow

Hoh is 61+

vernal abyss
#

ok tysm found it, didnt know you could do that-

viral oracle
#

It’s taking so long

cloud sand
#

What is?

sturdy rose
#

Depend on the datacenter, HoH might be dead too. I can't find any HoH so i had to level my DRG 60-70 by just spamming dungeon

warm snow
viral oracle
#

58-61

cloud sand
#

Are you doing your roulettes? That sounds like a round of roulettes + some dungeons to me

sturdy rose
#

you just have to take it easy or spam the highest level dungeon, or use up all the roulette.

#

Frontline roulette will be your BFF for leveling dps classes

viral oracle
#

So I can go to the next place to level I wasn’t aware until Kat told me it was unavailable until 61

viral oracle
warm snow
#

There's you know

#

Dungeons

#

Fates

#

Potd

#

Roulettes

#

Job quests

#

Msq

#

Etc etc etc

cloud sand
#

Don't look forward to it so much, while it is helpful to level in there it is not a end all be all

viral oracle
#

I’m doing POTD rn

boreal storm
warm snow
#

And it's also mid afternoon on a weekday in na

viral oracle
#

I didn’t know it was literally capped at 61

warm snow
#

That's not what capped means

sturdy rose
#

looks like you are burnt out on POTD. Change up your routine, farm dungeon or something. leveling alt class can be a pain if you are just mindlessly spamming

viral oracle
outer mural
#

potd is also not an effective leveller vs dungeon spam

narrow jay
#

In general, I feel like you'll likely have a lot more fun with the game if you don't focus solely on trying to level a single class to max as fast as possible. Like, sure it's doable, and there are various methods available, but you're going to run into frustration and burnout if that's your focus.

tidal yarrow
#

when is savage supposed to drop?

#

6.2

remote lintel
#

the next tier yes

tidal yarrow
#

what

#

i mean

#

like the date

boreal storm
#

We don’t have it

pure zenith
#

well find out when they tell us

#

which will usually be really close the release date

tidal yarrow
#

so we have no idea yet?

pure zenith
#

nope

jovial quarry
#

Best guess is August going by the release schedule

#

Exact date is unknown

oblique skiff
#

sometime early/mid August is 6.2

#

considering 6.1 was on April 11th

tidal yarrow
#

aa im not gonna be home from 19 to 27 of august that would be very unfortunate

#

i just need 2-3 days for savage..

jovial quarry
#

What is known however is there will not be a two week delay between the launch of the tier and the launch of its savage difficulty. Both will hit on the same day.

tidal yarrow
#

fair enough

oblique skiff
#

a delay between tier drop and savage drop is normal for first tier yeah?

jovial quarry
#

And only for the first tier, yes.

#

All others don't have that delay.

Is the complete edition a one time buy or is it full price of the monthly sub?

How to buy the game

Click here for NA

Click here for EU

Click here for JP

Before purchasing, you may wish to try out the game with the Free Trial, which allows you to experience the game up to level 60 with no limitations on playtime, albeit with some social and trade-related restrictions. See !faq freetrial for info.

Please be aware that FFXIV is a subscription-based game, and after purchasing the game you must pay for each month of play. There is no way to return to being a Free Trial player after you have registered a purchased copy of the game to your account; you must pay to log in and continue playing.

PC users: make sure to buy the game on your preferred store (Steam vs. Square Enix Store). Purchasing the game on Steam locks you into using Steam for all future expansion purchases, and similarly purchasing it via Square Enix Store or any other non-Steam retailer locks you out of ever using Steam to play FFXIV. After your game code has been registered to your FFXIV account, this decision can never be changed.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition:
AKA the ''base game.'' Gives access to A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. This is the same content that you can play during the Free Trial, but with the Free Trial restrictions on social interactions, trading, PvP etc. lifted. Comes with 30 days of subscription time.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker:
Gives access to Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and the latest expansion, Endwalker. Does not include any bonus subscription time.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition:
Combines all of the above into a single purchase (including the 30 days of subscription time).

oh okay, thanks

#

I might be stupid but I still don't understand, if I buy complete edition does it just unlock me the dlc and then I pay for standard sub price? or monthly for the entire complete edition

still vortex
#

hello i just downloadd the game and im unable to play it at all...

oak lily
#

Game is a one-time purchase, starter/complete gives 30 free days

#

After that you need to pay sub

#

Is item lvl 27 at lvl 40 bad

oak lily
#

its a bit low

urban grotto
#

ok, thanks!

brisk oasis
#

can't see to find out how to raise it

oak lily
#

better gear

#

you should be using dungeon gear

boreal storm
#

Job quests give gear

oak lily
#

at level 40 you should have access to Cutter's Cry gear, which is level 38

twilit arch
#

ilvl 27 at 40 isn't necessarily bad given that ARR msq doesn't give much in the way of accessories and those being at low ilvl will bring your ilvl down

brisk oasis
#

yeah I dont have high accessories

twilit arch
#

which isn't super important in ARR

brisk oasis
#

my armor is lvl 35/40 tho

twilit arch
#

the amount of stats they give below 50 is whatever

boreal storm
brisk oasis
#

I just don't seem to be doing a lot of dmg

twilit arch
#

mostly important to keep your main hand as up to date as possible with the rest of your gear as up to date as you can

#

msq for the most part, covers your gearing needs

oak lily
#

what level is your weapon and what job are you

brisk oasis
#

Im a gladiator

#

weapon is lvl 36

oak lily
#

...

#

you aren't a Paladin?

boreal storm
#

Please do your job quests

brisk oasis
#

Oh

#

💀

#

I was gonna hold it off until level 50

oak lily
#

uh, no

boreal storm
#

DO NOT

oak lily
#

do them

crystal bluff
#

...bruh

brisk oasis
#

Alr my bad ill do them now

twilit arch
#

your job quests are arguably more important than the msq

#

since they provide skills

oak lily
#

at lvl 40 you're missing Spirits Within, Sheltron, and Prominence

brisk oasis
#

those don't really look good

oak lily
#

!action Sheltron

zinc orbitBOT

**Sheltron** : lvl 35 PLD (50 Oath Gauge) (5.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

brisk oasis
#

oh

#

nvm

oak lily
#

its not immunity

#

but its lowering damage

twilit arch
#

spirits within is free dmg, and prominence is your 2nd aoe skill

brisk oasis
#

Im switching to dark knight when I reach lvl 50 but ig ill get the remaining skills for the next 10 lvls

boreal storm
#

You’re not getting to lvl 50 without skills

twilit arch
#

getting to 50 isn't the only requirement to getting dark

oak lily
#

gotta finish all of ARR

twilit arch
#

You have to get thru post ARR and reach HW first

brisk oasis
#

ah

boreal storm
#

Which again ain’t happening if you’re griefing the team

brisk oasis
#

lmao alr ill get my skills

#

thanks for the help

shut jolt
oak lily
#

just the title

twilit arch
#

you need to buy the gear to get the title

shut jolt
#

ah yea I did that

twilit arch
#

but once you have the title, just need that equipped to earn points towards the achievements

oak lily
#

there's a bunch of titles

#

Drk/Nin/Pld/Drg all have unique armor and titles

#

every other one is "Makai (job)"

alright, i accidentally bought a second master recipe book cause i forgot i had a copy in my saddlebag and the game won't even let me discard it, what do

obsidian patio

Contact support in-game to have them discard it for you

boreal storm

Gotta level up so you can use the book, then trash the dupe

I had that problem

I forgot how i resolved it

Okay summoner question, I’m a bit confused on the Ifrit Phase, when should I use Crimson strike?

faint flare
#

Between the time you summon ifirit and before you summon the next primal

#

It's two gcds of movement, use as necessary

But use it

So as long as I’m casting and using that with no breaks in between it doesn’t matter when?

faint flare

Yes

Always be casting is rule 1

If you're not always casting then you're doing a mega bad

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

steep egret

macros can't queue skills

warm snow
faint flare

You'll murder your dps by alot

warm snow

They are fundamentally designed to be shit in battle

#

Do not use them

north kernel
faint flare
#

See the video

See how bad and slow macros are with just 1 thing in it

steep egret
#

Square Enix, you know, want people to actually play the game, not make macros so they dont have to even think or press more than 2 buttons

north kernel
warm snow
faint flare
#

It does

warm snow
#

It applies to all spells

sacred apex
faint flare
#

Any skill in a macro will trigger the delay

#

Cause that's how macros function

warm snow
#

Again, deliberately shit for combat skills

north kernel
#

How can it? You have to cast Rites between them

boreal storm
#

And you can do that with your hands

faint flare
#

If you're doing it with a fucking timer that's even worst

warm snow
pure zenith
#

I mean you still have to decide the order dynamically based on situation

warm snow
#

You push the buttons to cast the rites

#

You don't use a macro to do it

faint flare
#

Any skill I'm a macro.will cause the delay due to it not.skill queing

#

Making it significantly slowrr

#

As shown

#

And hella clunky and extremely prone to not working at all

warm snow
#

Final fantasy 14 macros are deliberately designed to be janky as fuck and shit for combat skills

Simple as

#

Do not use them

sacred apex
#

End of story, never use macros for Combat

north kernel
#

🙄
When you summon an egi you then cast the related Rite unless it is Garuda for DPS. Meaning the macro is just setting the action Summon <egi> while you are casting either Crimson or Topaz Rite so that the next Summon <egi> is ready to be hit by the time you've cast Rite 2-4 times.

boreal storm
#

Still shit, don’t use

narrow jay
#

Why is this argument occurring.

pure zenith
faint flare
#

And even putting the skill in a macro that would change it to another skill would trigger the skill delay

faint flare
#

Making it slower, worst and shit

#

Again

#

See video

north kernel
narrow jay
#

First of all, why are you trying to compress the skill set of the class with the most compressed skill set.

pure zenith
#

Combat macros are 100% inefficient

warm snow
#

You can do it and you'll be a shit summoner

faint flare
#

Gcd macros kill your dps to the point of literally just uninstall

boreal storm

People will notice very quickly

warm snow
#

No ifs ands or buta

They're that bad

Objectively a bad plauer

Combat macros are bad in ANY CONTENT

Yes

Perhaps.

Combat macros are objectively bad no matter what

Perhaps

north kernel

Possibly

As someone who is objectively an idiot, it's not that hard to play every job without macros: it just takes time and practice.

Again, please don't use macros, it is literally bad and the team asks for you to learn your job. End of discussion, next person to respond to this issue is getting a mute regardless of who it is.

I just want to know if it can be done, not why anyone thinks it's a DPS loss or drifts gcd. I already have a 2 action slot set up rather than 3 and wanted to know if I could make it a 1 slot set up

Another summoner question, should the Bahamut and Phoenix phases basically be the same when using actions like in the beginning of the opener?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

They're identical

#

With except of.rekindle ofc

yes since they literally share the same buttons and cooldowns

oh

It’s literally identical to the real one except it can go in the dresser

warm snow
faint flare
sterile mountain
#

So i just got the augmented laws order spear how do i get the replica now?

slate arrow
#

The replica is literally the exact same model, it just has fixed stats instead of customizable

warm snow
#

That's one of the main reasons replicas exist

#

All relics at some point get customizable substats

#

Arr and sb substats are a fucking nightmare tho

sacred apex
#

Out of curiosity, why do people consider the summoner gems as legos? Is it to make it easier to understand or a kind of running joke?

warm snow
#

Yes

steep egret

its a joke that summoner is so easy its for kids

pure zenith

They’re just bright color buttons

Why do so many people say they can't play the game without XIVLauncher? What about it makes the game so much "better"?

this was my first relic

It has plugins

narrow jay
warm snow

You don't NEED it, people just be dramatic bishes

sterile mountain
#

I thought the next quest goes into the last form of the weapon

narrow jay
#

They can, in fact, play the game without it, they're just used to what it offers.

warm snow
#

You have a one time step, like those 36 alliance raid memories

#

So you can skip it if you want another ShB relic

#

Downside

#

This involves getting 180 total drops

sterile mountain
#

yeah screw that

I have a question to help some of my friends get into the game. When you get your city-state quest line before the first dungeon are there any cutscenes or quests dialogue that aren’t very important to the overall story that can just be skipped? When I first started playing I remember the Limsa quests being a slog.

steep egret
#

most MSQ stuff is relevant eventually, as its all world building

#

though sure there is some tedious nonsense

pure zenith

They make call backs to the most mundane of things all the time

The starting quests start to show you the world and introduce you to the scions based on your starting city

#

As well as the first glimpses of ascians

steep egret
#

even characters that Feel like a once off, you know when the MSQ sends you do do something because a NPC wont talk to you, so you have to help someone else with a problem before they do.
yeah, those characters reappear like 2 expansions later sometimes

wild pike
steep egret
#

lol i forgot about that one

#

i remember there was one that re-appeared in the post HW MSQ, and then another in SB's main MSQ

#

they usually remind you how they met you before and how you helped them

#

since it could have been years since players did the quests by then

sacred apex
#

Are Str or int pots implementations in a rotation usually more for savage than other content?

boreal storm
#

For high end content yes

little swift
#

Savage and ult and people who like to make extreme farms go more quickly

#

Though you could clear a decent way through the tier without potting

#

Mind you healers also use mind pots

#

And pranged and ninja use dex

warped nest
#

Think of them as yet another big buff cooldown

sacred apex
#

Just wondering since I’m worried about my gil, after all I’m just a normal WoL, I’m not those people who do savage fights unfortunately, I don’t have any friends to do those high end fights with

warped nest
#

Then don't

#

It is optional

sacred apex
#

Savage is the kind of content that should never be done through pf yes?

boreal storm
#

Savage is exactly the content you use PF for

sacred apex
#

Really? I thought it was more for extreme raids since savage is considered the hardest and most difficult, And with random people it may be even more difficult, or at least I was told

steep egret
#

Party finder, is organised parties

#

Duty finder, is matchmade parties

#

i think you have them backwards

slate arrow
#

Party finder is """random""" but it's self selecting random instead of Anyone In The Queue

sacred apex
#

Also am I overthinking on how difficult savage is?

boreal storm
#

Also you can turn on [duty complete] and only allow people that have beat the fight in the party

obsidian patio
#

The first tier of an expansion is usually the easiest, but it’s also been several months since the raid tier came out

slate arrow
#

It's only more difficult because of the DPS check, but even then assuming you have people in ultimate ready gear and you have at least tomestone, alliance, or augmented crafted gear it's easier than you think

lucid cloak
#

If you dont food, dont pot, hell you can bring in superjank melds

#

Wont change anything really

#

So if you dont do savage, dont waste your gil

#

I pop pots on extreme because theyre cheap

#

Its a "yeah sure why not" situation

#

Doesnt change anything besides my parse

sacred apex
#

Well then, In the case of ILV and materia, how high or grade should they be compare, like the high sets achievable and highest materia grade, or just as best as you currently can?

lucid cloak
#

Youre not interested in savage right

#

In which case you dont need em but tier 8 are safe cuz 100% retrieval rate

slate arrow
#

The """minimum""" at least on Aether has always been the maximum attainable crafted gear. In this case, 590 is the "default" for most PF listings, but the current patch is designed for 580 stuff with some wiggle room even then

lucid cloak
#

No one in extreme or even most savage PFs are gonna say "oh no healer used the 590 set with piety sadge"

#

Now if youre on a harder savage and barely failing enrage and people start seeing the tank in full vitality melds and healer in full piety, comments may be made

slate arrow
#

lmao vitality melds omegalul

sacred apex
#

Oh thank god, so basically all that truly matters is that I memorize my rotation? I’m currently leveling and second maining summoner so my damage output should be good

slate arrow
#

but yeah generally unless you're actually trying to throw nobody cares as long as you attempt to do your mechanics

lucid cloak
#

Saw a full vitality meld pld in ex3 farm

slate arrow
#

you can't meld vitality

lucid cloak
#

Ten meld

#

My bad

#

I saw yellow materia

#

And my eyes glazed over

#

Point being people would consider it a "bad" meld and we still cleared like right after 2nd 5head mechanic (which is a fast clear for PF) because everyone was doing their job

#

Tl;dr people aint judging until the wipes start happening

#

And when the wipes do start happening its usually mechs first

#

Not gear

#

Certainly not tinctures

narrow jay

This is not germane to the question.

They were asking about tinctures, roundabout way to say "dont worry bud that doesnt make or break anything"

When i was learning sage 90 i made it a point to use krasis a lot even on myself

Then changed that to krasis the tank whenever going into combat

And now in trials i can say "ah yes krasis time" and do it naturally

#

There were ofc slipups

#

Same process for you practicing enkindle

sacred apex
#

Yeah I’m just not used to healing, so it’s just gonna be practice makes perfect? Even when doing extreme raids?

If I may write this down in a paragraph

#

Pressing horoscope will do an AOE buff, giving everyone horoscope

If horoscope buff expires after 10s, or if you press horoscope button immediately, everyone gets a 200 heal

#

If you perform helios, or aspected helios, anyone with horoscope buff that received heals will get horoscope helios

robust crow

most of the time, horoscope is just a free heal on a cooldown

If horoscope helios expires, or if you press horoscope button, everyone gets a 400 heal

Yeah, essentially

Horoscope helios is a "free" helios (buy one get one free kind of free)

Hello folks and got a ? And how to make more gils on a free trial version?

#

I’m lvl 31

open coral
#

Free trial has a pretty harsh gil cap

boreal storm
#

And you have like nothing to buy anyways

open coral
#

You also don't have a lot of good options, because trials can't use the market board, which is the primary way that people make gil.

flint pollen
#

I want to get better gears but it will bankrupt me if I do

open coral
#

Don't buy gear

#

There's no point

boreal storm
#

Dungeons and poetic gear

flint pollen
#

Yeah at the merchants

oak lily
#

merchant gear sucks

flint pollen
#

I can

open coral
#

MSQ, job quests, and dungeons should keep you up to date with gear better than merchant gear.

#

You can, but you shouldn't

#

That's what we're saying

jade quartz
#

You don’t need to make gil on the trial. Before long you’ll be more concerned about finding stuff to spend gil on

#

So as not to overcap

boreal storm
#

Also don’t you have the full game?

flint pollen
#

Well it better than nothing and also I’m out lvlind the quest than my actual lvl

open coral
#

There is no need to buy gear from NPC vendors except for like, glamour.

#

You don't need to gear to your actual level

#

Just your MSQ level

jade quartz
#

Don’t buy gear

flint pollen
jade quartz
#

You don’t need gear when you can’t actually access content for that level anyway

#

It will just be synced down.

#

Total waste.

open coral
#

Waste of gil and waste of space.

flint pollen
oak lily
#

dungeon gear is also quite a bit better than merchant gear, which is just normal-quality crafted gear

flint pollen
#

What about farming something to sell at npc ?

narrow jay
#

Nothing that higher level players can't farm faster.

open coral
#

NPC buyback prices are not worth farming anything for

jade quartz
#

Why do you need gil

open coral
#

You'll get literally like, 100 gil for 3 hours of farming.

flint pollen
#

Would the make more gils?

jade quartz
#

You should be at gil cap easily

flint pollen
#

Idnk what the Gil cap is lol 😂

boreal storm
#

And we already said there’s nothing huge to spend gil on

open coral
#

Cap is 300k for trials

flint pollen
jade quartz
#

There’s really no good reason for you to even think about trying to gain gil

narrow jay
#

Gearing will also get more straightforward as you progress. ARR gearing is very very outdated and weird, just do your best to stay on-level with respect to your MSQ progress. Once you get to 50 you'll get better options.

open coral
#

But if you don't have anything to spend the gil you're earning from MSQ on, then you don't need more gil.

flint pollen
#

Thx all for all the tips and has been helpful

steep egret
#

very early game, gil is slow to get, but as you go through the MSQ, you'll be rolling in it eventually

just by doing the MSQ itself

Have you contacted square enix support directly?

#

Ah yeah, those often take some time to work their way up the ladder. You're likely to get a few canned responses for a bit.

Take it out one drive

does anyone know why my ffxiv went black screen (not responding status) after launching the game recently? i tried updating my nvidia graphic card to the latest one and it still happened. The only time it worked is when I actually do clean uninstall and use integrated graphic card to launch/play it... but it has fps issue with integrated so its not comfy to play with Sadge

flint pollen
#

Not sure if it will help and are you able to upgrade your video card ? And if so up to you if you wish

drowsy salmon
#

its a laptop unfortunately

rugged flicker
#

Remind me how long Algaia takes to clear again? Debating one whether I'll have enough time to clear it and make it to bed early enough for work tomorrow.

oak lily
#

like 40m

rugged flicker
#

Yeah... better wait.

flint pollen
#

It is a gaming attachment from Microsoft

#

So... did the player contributions in the Firmament reflect the progress of building there in any way? Or would they have just added the extra buildings there regardless of how much or how little all the players crafted and gathered?

twilit arch
#

only thing player contribution dictated was how long it took to take to get to the next building phase

rugged flicker
#

Though I'm guessing they still probably would have ended up adding the extra buildings in updates regardless.

#

But they probably had enough faith in the players. 😛

lucid cloak
#

Is the firmament going to exist in a state of limbo? Any announcements as to their plans for it?

jovial quarry
#

It's finished and completed. It's in a state where it'll be left alone.

lucid cloak
#

Or is ishgardian housing technically considered a separate area canonically?

rugged flicker
#

Yep, look forward to Sharlyan Housing next! Probably, maybe.

twilit arch
#

the empyeran is its own section

modest igloo
#

The firmament is different from empyeran

rugged flicker
#

I kind wish they'd do an Ala Mhigo housing district. I know it's not a proper zone in the game, but it'd still be cool.

lucid cloak
#

Ah right, adventurer special housing

modest igloo
#

(That’s why they have different names)

rugged flicker
#

And a chance to showcase Ala Mhigo's culture a bit more.

twilit arch
#

please keep in mind, this is not a chit chat channel

lucid cloak
#

Makes sense then, follows in the footsteps of all the quests where they explain adventurer housing not being available to locals.

oak lily
#

not like many could afford living there haha

obsidian loom
#

is changing home world within same data-center free ?

twilit arch
#

no

steep egret
#

you can visit other worlds in the same datacenter at any time for free
but yeah, changing homeworld always costs

obsidian loom
#

damn... will have to choose world carefully too.

direct X is built into windows

oak lily
flint pollen
obsidian loom
#

I did a mistake of starting on EU instead of JP although I was closer to jp. So queue waiting is hours even for roulette at the time I play

flint pollen
#

Version updates I meant

steep egret
# flint pollen That depends on ms updates you have

no it doesn't
directx 10 and anything newer, come built into windows, there is no way to actually install Directx updates individually
the "direct x download" is just an installer for legacy direct x 9 components
if they want to update direct X, then just install windows updates.

#

but those are minor anyway, even if out of date, Directx generally doesn't break and need updates to fix

#

mostly it depends on graphics card vendors to fix compatibility issues in their drivers

obsidian loom
flint pollen
#

Ok up to you to spend on the move and if correct it cost like 18 USA dollars

sacred apex

What is the best way to constantly grind times or Aphorism, I have the gil for the classical gear but not enough tomes for the tears

oak lily
#

you kinda just accumulate them

Why does it constantly take hours for my queue to pop

If you're on the EU or JP servers, it might be prudent to use the ⚙️ to change your duty finder settings to allow more players speaking different languages to be matched with you!

upper cove
#

Have you done this?

#

Especialy important for EU and JP

#

Hours for roulette doesn't sound right at all. Unless it's frontline off peak

leaden ginkgo
#

Should I buy the game on console if I have never played before

flint pollen
# zinc orbit

Also the time of the day that most people are playing to depending how many is online as well

steep egret
obsidian loom
upper cove
#

And you cant have plugins/mods/shaders on console

flint pollen
upper cove
#

Yea then its perfectly fine

leaden ginkgo
obsidian loom
upper cove
#

I'm the same i don't own a pc and play on ps4

leaden ginkgo
upper cove
twilit arch
#

also depends on what you're queueing for, an hour even on off peak time is not the norm for dungeons

upper cove
#

Even in super dead hours I've never experienced hours queue for roulettes thats not frontline

twilit arch
#

if you're trying to queue for like coil or extremes then i can see an hour, or frontline yea

buoyant dune
#

Anyone know if i can copy character settings like hotbars and macros onto another character on ps5?

upper cove
#

@buoyant dune if your other character is on a different server. The in game cloud back up doesn't work

hot eagle
#

as tank queueing for alliance roulette can also take ages

leaden ginkgo
#

Is the started edition fine or do you like need the dlcs

upper cove
#

You can try the free trial first @leaden ginkgo

buoyant dune
#

My two characters are on the same server

twilit arch
#

there's no way to transfer hotbars etc on console

leaden ginkgo
upper cove
#

@buoyant dune try using the character setting back up in character select screen

twilit arch
#

can only do it on pc since its just moving files

upper cove
#

It could work for same server transfers

buoyant dune
#

I've tried but I haven't seen the option to do so

upper cove
twilit arch
#

the in-game back up doesn't work like that

upper cove
#

I see

sacred apex

#

Free trial has a bunch of social limitations

steep egret
#

starter edition, gives you the base game, "A Realm Reborn" and first expansion "Heavensward"
Free trial also lets you play those, BUT with social and trading restrictions, oh yeah, no PVP either

upper cove
#

And you need to buy the game to use expansions

steep egret
#

you still need to buy everything to play later expansions

cursive abyss
#

Got any general good advice/tips for me? I am nervous.

upper cove
#

But otherwise yea you can do all the content up to HW less pvp on the free trial

leaden ginkgo
#

Ohhhhh so you lose out on a lot

steep egret
#

eh, i wouldn't say that

#

depends on what you want

#

i milked the Free trial out of i think 1000 hours?

upper cove
#

Its more tedious to grind for certain stuff since you're capped st lvl 60 and have no access to the marketboard

steep egret
#

but i wasn't playing with friends

upper cove
#

But people have done a ton on the free trial

lucid cloak
twilit arch
#

you really don't lose out on that much tbh

#

the free trial is, quite frankly, extremely generous

#

plenty of people have put in a lot f hours

leaden ginkgo
#

So don’t buy the starter editon then?

steep egret
#

no

twilit arch
#

not until you're sure you wanna play

steep egret
#

just go on free trial

twilit arch
#

and pay for a sub

#

because this is a subscription based mmo

steep egret
#

IF you buy starter edition, then you have to pay for a sub

leaden ginkgo
steep egret
#

depends on ur region

Subscription Prices

90 days/3 months = $41.97
180 days/6 months = $77.94

leaden ginkgo
#

There’s not like 1 month?

steep egret
#

there is

#

click the picture

#

12.99 usd

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh ok

#

How much do you NEED it

#

Like it’s like pretty much required

steep egret
#

you need a sub to play

#

outside of the free trial

lucid cloak
#

the trial only covers the the base game and first of four expansions

steep egret
#

if your sub runs out, you cant login

lucid cloak
#

and before you ask, you cannot subscribe for a while then go 'back' to the free trial

leaden ginkgo
steep egret
#

yes

twilit arch
#

yes

steep egret
#

this is how a subscription MMO works, like WoW

#

it costs you nothing to try the free trial

#

so id suggest doing that

#

and if you can, at a minimum, complete the story entirely on the free trial

cursive abyss
#

Anyone got tips real quick?

steep egret
#

since you have to do that anyway

#

THEN, see if you want to buy the game and subscribe to continue

#

doing the free trial story, can take over 100 hours, there is a lot of story

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah so if I even buy the game it’s not gonna be worth it for me because I don’t get money like that I’m still in school

Hi! For Unsynced BLU spell hunts, do I have to see the spell or is it a chance percentage learning rate?

lucid cloak
#

unfortunately if $13 a month is not something you have access to then this is not a viable game choice outside of the free trial

twilit arch
#

open world spells are a chance to learn

hot eagle
#

need to see it and be alive when the mob/boss dies

steep egret
twilit arch
#

its only synced dungeons/instances where the learn rate is 100% provided you've seen the spell cast and are alive when it dies

yes
