The vast majority do cause it's well designed
I’m liking the game so far so I might just get the expansions
I like rpr
I’m looking at a guide for it. It looks good
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.
fairly decent at reaper, it's a very solid job and isn't hard to play
easy to adjust etc
And feels good to play, honestly.
Like, it hit a lot of good points from a class design perspective.
yeah, the sfx design on rpr makes it super satisfying
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
I mean you need to be 90 to finish EW
That’s the funny part, we don’t.
Play whatever you want and switch whenever. This game makes it easy to do.
What’s endgame for ffxiv? I mean after you beat the main story what’s next
whatever you want
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
housing, glamour, gposing
Sounds really fun
unsubbing until the next major patch then resubbing and doing that msq and content
LOL

Relic weapons seems difficult to get
They are.
They're not difficult
i wouldnt say theyre difficult
Just time consuming
just grindy
Well yeah, that's the only difficulty
the content itself is not difficult its just doing dungeons and stuff
it just takes a longass time
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

unless you're doing ultimates

because shb relic is apparently BiS for TEA

Not apparently, IS
Relics with fully customizable sub stats are bis for all OLD ultimates
Which is the ShB relic for now
pvp
Items section I think
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?
Yes
If their home world is different from yours, you must also visit their world to find them in player search
NIN question: why use fleeting raiju when forked raiju exists?
ones a gap closer and the other is just a regular gcd
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
fair about animation lock, but that seems like a very minor issue
It's not
When mechanics happen and forced animation lock fucks you and kills you
It's major isuee
that's fair, i'm an ex loldrg player so... used to it
There's even funky stuff that happens if you gap close while a boss moves, there's a few various clips about it
ah that
Like you use spin the fuck around and go God knows where
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
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
i mean it's almost happened to me as a tank with my gap close so
when shukuchi is on c/d or something
I mean drg doesn't really lock anymore
When they add a new weekly capped tomestone will you be able to exchange astronomy, the old one, for it?
No
Cause astronomy will still exidt
Aphorisms go and you exchange that for astronomy
Not yet
In the major even patches as always
and astronomy will still be for radiant gear? while the the new tomes are for a new gear I'm guessing
yes
And also crafting mats
what's the exchange rate?
4:1 as usual
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
If ques are 15mins or more than hoh is better
Then yea HoH it is
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
just login?
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?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/blog/003317.html Will the Moogle Balloons for this year's Make it Rain be available in future events, or is this "here or mogshop" like with other Seasonal Items?
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
it shows you have the license?
are you certain you're on the correct datacenter?
Primal/famfrit/NA and when I check mogstation it shows I have license for ARR and HSW for PC and everything else for PS
so then buy EW
@warm snow TY
I’d have to rebuy endwalker to even access my characters on another platform?
If your characters are in Endwalker zones
go to the main menu and select datacenter
gotta match licenses, I think?
I play on Steam, so idk much about the other ones
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
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
Are you on an expansion job? That can also stop you
After that I reinstalled both to check if that was the issue but I never got the prompt to input code again
can you post a screenshot of character select, please?
Give me a moment
What’s the recommended sword /or War Axe for gladiator level 28 or above?
The one you get from your job quests
And or dungeons
Haukke
I see
Just use the gear from msq and job quests until you finish the story
Make sure it’s gear for your job
Wearing gear that doesn’t give your main stat is basically worthless
One teny tiny problem I’m stuck on the little storm Cho quest and I don’t know where to get the permit at
talk to your GC vendor
yeah also read what the NPC says, it has important info

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
type /huntinglog
start killing the low level mob
!faq 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.
although would recommend to continue till you done your novice training and get that
!item Brand-new Ring
Increases EXP earned by 30% when level 30 and below.
3
3
3
3
※ Required Level: 1
※ Repaired By: Goldsmith
※ Repair Material: Grade 1 Dark Matter
※ Dyable: No
※ Desynthesis: Yes
and unlock your battle chocobo
I have it! I completed BLM novice training
yeah, then go ahead
That I don't have
the hunting log is also bound to the H key by default
If I remember correctly, there is no separate version and if there is, it automatically changes depending on your character’s gender.
!faq companion
You can unlock the ability to have your chocobo also be an overworld party member and fight alongside you when you reach level 30 and have completed the quest My Feisty Little Chocobo . As the tutorial states, you do need to feed your bird gysahl greens in order to summon them. Click here for a list of npcs that sell them.
What trees do spec into for my chocobo?
The typically recommended chocobo skill point allocation is to get 4 ranks into the healing tree for choco cure, followed by maxing out the DPS tree. The tank tree does not allow your chicken to gain enough enmity to surpass your own output, so its shelved for last. You can eventually max out every tree, though to level your chocobo past rank 10 you will need Thavnairian Onions
you are close
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!
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
do you have conjurer leveled?
thats what hes trying to do woods
ah
Nice! Thanks!
chocobo is like msq 20 tho, and honestly you dont really need it to get to 18
Yeah sorry I meant Conjurer not WHM, but yeah I want to level it to specialize into WHM 😁
What are some nice earrings for tank?
That's riding Chocobo right? I think Vielen meant the battle one
yeah, don't be afraid to level them all
you need the riding one to unlock the battle one
since its the same chocobo
what job level?
just you bribe him to fight with cabbage
Like 75
Oh that's what you mean, but yeah I'm almost there too I will get it very soon!
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
Stormblood or Shadowbringer?
Ah thx
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
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?
my perception is 216
Gathering log, use it
Nevermind, it was the wrong trees
you're gathering in the wrong spot, it sounds like.
Yep
Hi, what did they meant by "stack"?
quick question, if i buy a weapon skin in the ffxiv store and recieved it in mail, how do i apply the skin to my current weapon? im real new and am assuming theres a way to keep stats on a weapon while changing the look
stand together
!faq glamour
'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.
thanks
thanks
!faq markers
fuk
Wonder if they'll change more bosses in post arr
I still don’t understand how glam works in this game
Make shit look like something else
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?
All equipment can be glammed
I tried to do a lvl 1 set on lvl 60 and it didn’t work lol
Then you did it the wrong way, use the glam dresser and make a plate
There's rules
I’ll try to watch a guide
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
So your example earlier was likely you trying to make the lvl 1 look like the lvl 60
Ah makes sense, sets and optimization and aesthetic is gonna take a while
Bitch I'm fabulous
.... I'm a catboi
Close enough 🖤😂
Eh ... i need white scrip so I am making lvl 89 food collectiable, does it increase my ilvl 560 crafting set's spirit bond ?
Depends on the recipe
Ohh it is Rarefied Giant Popoto Pancakes, the one above Rarefied Sykon Bavarois
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...
I’m thinking about going straight to the Heaven on High Floors to level my Sam I’m lvl 58 should I?
You can always add another hot bar
You literally can't
You can add more hotbar, Char config -> Hotbar setting ( it's on the left side ), enable Hotbar 3
It’s taking so long lol
Hoh is 61+
ok tysm found it, didnt know you could do that-
It’s taking so long
What is?
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
K
58-61
Are you doing your roulettes? That sounds like a round of roulettes + some dungeons to me
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
So I can go to the next place to level I wasn’t aware until Kat told me it was unavailable until 61
Okay I’ll check them out,
Don't look forward to it so much, while it is helpful to level in there it is not a end all be all
I’m doing POTD rn
You would have been, if you read the leveling faq we sent you like twice already
And it's also mid afternoon on a weekday in na
I read it.
I didn’t know it was literally capped at 61
That's not what capped means
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
Well I didn’t know you only go in once you were lvl 61
I’ll try that out thanks
that's also not what that means
potd is also not an effective leveller vs dungeon spam
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.
the next tier yes
We don’t have it
so we have no idea yet?
nope
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..
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.
fair enough
a delay between tier drop and savage drop is normal for first tier yeah?
Is the complete edition a one time buy or is it full price of the monthly sub?
I don't really understand how sub based games work

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
Game is a one-time purchase, starter/complete gives 30 free days
After that you need to pay sub
this error occured when i opened the game (through the boot.exe)
This one right?
it just instantly closes when i open it
Those are the sub options
Base game is a car, expansions are your bi annual taxes and maintenance, sub is your gas
That's because a fatal DirectX error occurred, meaning your computer's DirectX suite massively messed up when trying to communicate between the game and your system. Head down to #952326072542847016, since this is likely an in-depth problem that we're not equipped to handle here.
no
daimn... thats so sad 
thank you
are you ok
no
not the channel for it
it's a question 😔
And I answered it :)
Still ain’t the channel
how long do we have on the garo event?
they did not give us an end date, but going off of the first time it ran
no clue
probably for a few years
Is item lvl 27 at lvl 40 bad
its a bit low
ok, thanks!
can't see to find out how to raise it
Job quests give gear
at level 40 you should have access to Cutter's Cry gear, which is level 38
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
yeah I dont have high accessories
which isn't super important in ARR
my armor is lvl 35/40 tho
the amount of stats they give below 50 is whatever
Then whatever you’re good
I just don't seem to be doing a lot of dmg
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
what level is your weapon and what job are you
Please do your job quests
uh, no
DO NOT
do them
...bruh
Alr my bad ill do them now
at lvl 40 you're missing Spirits Within, Sheltron, and Prominence
I mean
those don't really look good
!action Sheltron
spirits within is free dmg, and prominence is your 2nd aoe skill
Im switching to dark knight when I reach lvl 50 but ig ill get the remaining skills for the next 10 lvls
You’re not getting to lvl 50 without skills
getting to 50 isn't the only requirement to getting dark
gotta finish all of ARR
You have to get thru post ARR and reach HW first
ah
Which again ain’t happening if you’re griefing the team
Do I only need the titel for the event to get the mounts or do I need to have the gear on aswell? Also is the title Barago?
just the title
you need to buy the gear to get the title
ah yea I did that
but once you have the title, just need that equipped to earn points towards the achievements
there's a bunch of titles
Drk/Nin/Pld/Drg all have unique armor and titles
every other one is "Makai (job)"
Warrior too
does it?
war and drk share same model for gear but the titles are different
so it does
it can definitely happen
see some savage raiders
barago being for war, kiba for drk
plots that get vacated when people move their house, do those enter into the next lottery or are they on timers
Lotto
!aglam Female Viera Gaja Head
All plots are now on lottery system
yes, things that completely cover the head like pig head can be worn by viera
yes @tight dust
gotcha
If you run something unsynced does it have the same chance of rare loot appearing as when it's synced?
No changes, it’s just faster now
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
Contact support in-game to have them discard it for you
Gotta level up so you can use the book, then trash the dupe
is there a way to see all ofd the achievments that have unclaimed rewards
yeah
how
you can choose all the category of completed achievements that have rewards
Click the filter at the top
tick all 3 minions, mounts and gears
if u leave a fate early, do u have to stay on the map for the rward?
Yes
can you like show me in a screenshot i don't see any filrer
those circles
yeah clicking on those does nothing
yeah now i can select ty
can you only trade 1 mil gil at a time
yeah
bruh
that's why people use mannequins for gil transfer of large sums
antibotting measure
wait how do they use mannequins
Okay summoner question, I’m a bit confused on the Ifrit Phase, when should I use Crimson strike?
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?
GCD: Global Cooldown
Video by OZ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwBBCgSMAXU
Damn
Always be casting is rule 1
If you're not always casting then you're doing a mega bad
Also Bahamut and Phoenix phases should basically be the same yes when using actions
does anyone know where to get Time of Botanical Folklore - Norvrandt?
the place online it says to buy doesnt have it
Eulmore
Speaking of Summons, is there a way to use a macro to set a macro to your hotbard?
I'll keep the typo, lol
Highly not recommended to use macros for summoner
You sure you talked to the crystarium person? And went to Folklore items
no its not possible
So you wouldn't recommend hit Summon Ifrit, change to summon titan, hit Summon titan, change to summon Garuda, hit Summon Garuda, change to summon Ifrit?
otherwise people would use it to do stuff like that
Never
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
macros can't queue skills
Macros are deliberately shit for combat
You'll murder your dps by alot
Care to extrapolate?
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
I would, but that doesn't apply with Summon
See explanations above
It does
Yes, yes it does
It applies to all spells
It does
Again, deliberately shit for combat skills
How can it? You have to cast Rites between them
And you can do that with your hands
If you're doing it with a fucking timer that's even worst
Wtf are you on about
I mean you still have to decide the order dynamically based on situation
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
Final fantasy 14 macros are deliberately designed to be janky as fuck and shit for combat skills
Simple as
Do not use them
End of story, never use macros for Combat
🙄
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.
Still shit, don’t use
Why is this argument occurring.
Still wastes more time than doing it manually
And even putting the skill in a macro that would change it to another skill would trigger the skill delay
That won't work
Idk, because people pay my sub... /s
First of all, why are you trying to compress the skill set of the class with the most compressed skill set.
Combat macros are 100% inefficient
You can do it and you'll be a shit summoner
Gcd macros kill your dps to the point of literally just uninstall
People will notice very quickly
No ifs ands or buta
They're that bad
Objectively a bad plauer
I don't plan on making smn my main, and never in a current normal raid anyway
You don't want to listen, we can't make you
This is my Summoner bind setup for single target.
Don't worry about where Fester is, it's not important.
Combat macros are bad in ANY CONTENT
It's not about smn
Do I need to intervene
Yes
Perhaps.
Combat macros are objectively bad no matter what
Perhaps
Please
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
!mute @north kernel 30m
how do ppl use mannequins to transfer gil
You can buy shit straight off the mannequin
And put shit for sale on a mannequin for millions
Lets you buy and sell off the market board without needing a board listing
so do i just put whatever on there
Yes
o ok
Another summoner question, should the Bahamut and Phoenix phases basically be the same when using actions like in the beginning of the opener?
yes since they literally share the same buttons and cooldowns
Your 60s rotation on smn is almost completely static
Always rekindle the tank
Just change the order of lego bricks if you want/need to
Don't be that fucking dumbass that waste it on yourself
Speaking from experience?
Way too many of them
As the smn or the tank lol
my augmented laws order weapon cant be put in the glamour chest?
It can
oh
It’s literally identical to the real one except it can go in the dresser
Anything with custom sub stats can't be put in the glamour dresser
As someone in a party with the smn wasting it
So i just got the augmented laws order spear how do i get the replica now?
The replica is literally the exact same model, it just has fixed stats instead of customizable
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
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?
Yes
its a joke that summoner is so easy its for kids
One of the first info graphics after ew called them legos and it stuck
“Stack them onto eachother in whatever order, they’re legos”
Not the place
my replica isnt dyeable?\
Did you get the laws order replica?
Or the augmented laws order replica?
si
i just got the augmented laws order weapon
do i have to do the next step...
I think so
i just got all the timeworn
Have fun in zadnor
Ffffffff
screw it im just glaming the over my weapon
In which case 0/15
Why do so many people say they can't play the game without XIVLauncher? What about it makes the game so much "better"?
Well, it's at least bis equivalent for uwu and ucob
this was my first relic
It has plugins
Xiv launcher has plugins
QoL stuff, mostly, and people simply being dramatic.
You don't NEED it, people just be dramatic bishes
I thought the next quest goes into the last form of the weapon
They can, in fact, play the game without it, they're just used to what it offers.
Well yes but actually no
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
yeah screw that
I see, thanks
It can take like 2+ weeks before plugin support comes back after an expansion launch so yeah, bishes being dramatic if they can't play without em
I see I see, people get overdramatic about the silliest things
Anybody what the housing lottery rhythm will be now?
Five day entry periods. Four day results periods. Repeat.
Awesome thanks!
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.
most MSQ stuff is relevant eventually, as its all world building
though sure there is some tedious nonsense
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
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
Even the guy at the top of Summerford giving menial tasks.
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
Are Str or int pots implementations in a rotation usually more for savage than other content?
For high end content yes
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
Think of them as yet another big buff cooldown
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
Savage is the kind of content that should never be done through pf yes?
Savage is exactly the content you use PF for
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
Party finder, is organised parties
Duty finder, is matchmade parties
i think you have them backwards
Party finder is """random""" but it's self selecting random instead of Anyone In The Queue
Also am I overthinking on how difficult savage is?
Also you can turn on [duty complete] and only allow people that have beat the fight in the party
The first tier of an expansion is usually the easiest, but it’s also been several months since the raid tier came out
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
Little late but honestly people wont even notice in extremes
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
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?
Youre not interested in savage right
In which case you dont need em but tier 8 are safe cuz 100% retrieval rate
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
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
lmao vitality melds 
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
but yeah generally unless you're actually trying to throw nobody cares as long as you attempt to do your mechanics
Saw a full vitality meld pld in ex3 farm
you can't meld vitality
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
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"
But shoot your shot chief
Yes. Please be direct. Roundabout stuff is for conversational channels.
It's clutter here.
This is not germane to the question.
Most of the Exploration Venture minions are available from multiple ranks of Venture. Does it matter which one you pick, chancewise?
summoner Phoenix phase question. Phoenix’s Astral flow ability is Rekindle which is a heal, question is do I press this ability in the rotation or is it a situation use since I’m worried if I have to manually target this action I may accidentally ruin my rotation
why can't I buy a house with FC atm?
Toss rekindle on the tank
Because it’s not the entry period
is it tomorrow?
Its not a make or break thing just practice until you can do it reliably
it's a results period until sunday.
can a person bid on multiple houses?
Should I probably set my party list to have it so the tanks are on top of the party list below me?
aren't tanks at the top of the party list by default?
I was about to say tank top is usually default already
Nope. Only 1 regardless fc or private
Its a practice thing, practice using it in phoenix form first and it will come more naturally as time goes
thank you for that info
Ah well the things is I may have made it so that depending on my role type I made it so that kind of role such as all tanks, healers, or dps(which role I am) all of those WOL’s are on the top of the list
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
Yeah I’m just not used to healing, so it’s just gonna be practice makes perfect? Even when doing extreme raids?
If an enkindle is life or death in your ext run, it was scuffed already lol
Dont sweat it. Try but dont kick yourself if you enkindle yourself or clip a gcd
Roger, thank you very much
I'm fighting The Ultima Weapon in "The Porta Decumana" and it has this attack that causes an arrow to follow me around, and then it instantly kills me regardless of health...how do I not get instantly killed by this?
I'm on my 5th attempt now and just don't get it
As in, run towards my party mates?
Yes, the same mechanic happened in Prae
Here I was thinking I had to run away so it wouldn't hurt them...god damn it
Thankyou, I'll try that
If your party members were trying to chase you while you are running away
@lucid cloak Please try to be more direct when giving answers instead of giving roundabout responses
This channel is meant to provide an easy way for players to ask questions and get help, roundabout answers lead to channel clutter and can needlessly confuse people, if this continues you could find yourself muted for a time
I dont understand this ability is this any good?
at worst it is a free heal
press it once, puts a buff on your party (that doesn't yet do anything)
It’s an extra heal that becomes better if you use Helios/A. Helios before popping it
press it a second time, it heals
or just let it expire, and it does the same thing
!action helios
WHM has a similar ability
Basically, it doubles your helios heal
an AoE "buff" taht triggers more healing when you cast your AoE heals
!action aspected helios
got it, thankyou! worked like a charm
It is a free helios, basically, as an ability
!action Plenary Indulgence
Grants Confession to self and nearby party members.
Upon receiving HP recovery via Medica, Medica II, Cure III, or Afflatus Rapture cast by self, Confession triggers an additional healing effect.
Cure Potency: 200
Duration: 10s
thats the WHM equivalent, but its simpler
doesn't have a built in heal
but only triggers
If you do back to back AOE heals, plenary will heal multiple times too right?
yes
Thanks for the help! 
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
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)
If I have gear that's shared between multiple jobs of the same role, and each of those jobs has a separate glam plate, is there any way to automatically apply the correct plate when changing jobs? Macros?
link the plate to the gearset
oh huh
by right clicking on the gearset in the menu and selecting the link plate option
Yep, found it. Thanks!
I feel that this is asked enough that it should be a faq
Sanctuary is any big cities, and if you are in one, your exp bar will have a moon icon
I'm aware
👌
hi hi i was wondering if there are any FC housing items that look like a tree stump, where you are able to sit on it
like this but without the camp fire
yes, its called Stump Stool
Stump Stool
best levelelling for lvl 80?
Dungeons or Bozja
ok, thanks!
is there hope to get kaiten back
Maybe but I wouldn’t count on it
Hello folks and got a ? And how to make more gils on a free trial version?
I’m lvl 31
Free trial has a pretty harsh gil cap
And you have like nothing to buy anyways
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.
I want to get better gears but it will bankrupt me if I do
Dungeons and poetic gear
Yeah at the merchants
merchant gear sucks
I can
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
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
Also don’t you have the full game?
Well it better than nothing and also I’m out lvlind the quest than my actual lvl
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
That’s normal
Don’t buy gear
Yes I do but I’m playing on free till my payday
You don’t need gear when you can’t actually access content for that level anyway
It will just be synced down.
Total waste.
Waste of gil and waste of space.
Got a point there
dungeon gear is also quite a bit better than merchant gear, which is just normal-quality crafted gear
What about farming something to sell at npc ?
Nothing that higher level players can't farm faster.
NPC buyback prices are not worth farming anything for
Why do you need gil
You'll get literally like, 100 gil for 3 hours of farming.
Would the make more gils?
You should be at gil cap easily
Ok thx
Idnk what the Gil cap is lol 😂
And we already said there’s nothing huge to spend gil on
Cap is 300k for trials
Ok thx again
There’s really no good reason for you to even think about trying to gain gil
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.
But if you don't have anything to spend the gil you're earning from MSQ on, then you don't need more gil.
Thx all for all the tips and has been helpful
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
Daily roulettes also give a good amount too
More so if you can be the role in need
What about repeating the duties more ?
Repeating a roulette is pointless
The reward is the exact same as directly queueing for the duty
How can I give away an account? I have purchased a lot of the expansions and a year of time to play, but support still will not help me with getting the game to install and work correctly.. so I am giving up and was thinking of giving my account away since I can't use/play it
You can’t
Against the ToS.
mayybe ask for help in #952326072542847016
well that is like $250 I can't get back
provide details of whats happening and ppl can help
I have, no one seems to know how to help,
If you are found out that you sold your account and that person can get banned for receiving an account other their own and most games forbid giving and selling accounts
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.
ill go over then and try help, assuming you want to try, or have you totally given up?
I went to download the game, took me 2 hours just to find the setup file to run from the website as it is not clearly marked.
I tried to run it, and keep getting a security error. I worked with users in discord and found it was One drive blocking, I removed that software, and now when I run setup file I get a new error.
yeah i see that, lets take it over to the tech support post
Take it out one drive
instead of bulking up this chat
Rix, no. Don’t encourage account selling
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 
Not sure if it will help and are you able to upgrade your video card ? And if so up to you if you wish
its a laptop unfortunately
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.
like 40m
Yeah... better wait.
Check for software update from Microsoft which is like an xvid something
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?
only thing player contribution dictated was how long it took to take to get to the next building phase
Okay so they did set a quota.
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. 😛
Is the firmament going to exist in a state of limbo? Any announcements as to their plans for it?
It's finished and completed. It's in a state where it'll be left alone.
Or is ishgardian housing technically considered a separate area canonically?
Yep, look forward to Sharlyan Housing next! Probably, maybe.
the empyeran is its own section
The firmament is different from empyeran
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.
Ah right, adventurer special housing
(That’s why they have different names)
And a chance to showcase Ala Mhigo's culture a bit more.
please keep in mind, this is not a chit chat channel
Makes sense then, follows in the footsteps of all the quests where they explain adventurer housing not being available to locals.
not like many could afford living there 
huh? where do u find that? when i tried to look it up in google it came up with video player thingie xD
is changing home world within same data-center free ?
no
you can visit other worlds in the same datacenter at any time for free
but yeah, changing homeworld always costs
damn... will have to choose world carefully too.
Look up for DirectX on Microsoft site
direct X is built into windows
duties are DC-wide anyways
That depends on ms updates you have
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
Version updates I meant
How far or what is your lvl ?
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
60-50-60-40 and so on
Ok up to you to spend on the move and if correct it cost like 18 USA dollars
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
you kinda just accumulate them
Where your currency depends on the type of money
Well true but what about after doing my dailies?
run lvl90 dungeons, do hunts etc.
!faq dflanguages
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
Should I buy the game on console if I have never played before
Also the time of the day that most people are playing to depending how many is online as well
when you say you did a clean uninstall, do you just mean the option Nvidia gives you (or AMD i guess), or did you clean it using something like DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) .
if you didn't, id suggest trying DDU, as it exists because graphics drivers dont clean themselves up properly often enough that they cause all sorts of strange issues (and this maybe one of them)
Yeah it's fine... Little more than 1 mo sub anyways
The games costs the same. While the game runs fine on console, if you have a decent PC you'll probably have a better experience there
And you cant have plugins/mods/shaders on console
Only console is a PlayStation
Sadly I only have ps4
Yea then its perfectly fine
Yeah I have a ps4
It's off time. 2 hours ago basically
I'm the same i don't own a pc and play on ps4
Oh okay
Enable the languages in duty finder setting and try again
Trying
also depends on what you're queueing for, an hour even on off peak time is not the norm for dungeons
Even in super dead hours I've never experienced hours queue for roulettes thats not frontline
if you're trying to queue for like coil or extremes then i can see an hour, or frontline yea
Anyone know if i can copy character settings like hotbars and macros onto another character on ps5?
@buoyant dune if your other character is on a different server. The in game cloud back up doesn't work
as tank queueing for alliance roulette can also take ages
Is the started edition fine or do you like need the dlcs
You can try the free trial first @leaden ginkgo
My two characters are on the same server
there's no way to transfer hotbars etc on console
Is the starter editon of the game the full game?
@buoyant dune try using the character setting back up in character select screen
can only do it on pc since its just moving files
It could work for same server transfers
I've tried but I haven't seen the option to do so
Base game and first expansion. The exact same content you're getting in free trial
the in-game back up doesn't work like that
I see
Are hunts more of a solo or a group thing?
So then why would you even buy the game then?
Free trial has a bunch of social limitations
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
And you need to buy the game to use expansions
you still need to buy everything to play later expansions
Got any general good advice/tips for me? I am nervous.
But otherwise yea you can do all the content up to HW less pvp on the free trial
Ohhhhh so you lose out on a lot
eh, i wouldn't say that
depends on what you want
i milked the Free trial out of i think 1000 hours?
Its more tedious to grind for certain stuff since you're capped st lvl 60 and have no access to the marketboard
but i wasn't playing with friends
But people have done a ton on the free trial
group largely, you are endgame right? you'll want to join hunt trains
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
So don’t buy the starter editon then?
no
not until you're sure you wanna play
just go on free trial
IF you buy starter edition, then you have to pay for a sub
How much is it
depends on ur region
!faq subprice
There’s not like 1 month?
the trial only covers the the base game and first of four expansions
if your sub runs out, you cant login
and before you ask, you cannot subscribe for a while then go 'back' to the free trial
So your saying I have to pay for the game then pay monthly?
yes
yes
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
Anyone got tips real quick?
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
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
yeah i did clean uninstall with DDU so nothing from nvidia was left in my laptop.... which is why when i start ffxiv after that it used integrated graphic from my laptop and worked fine xD just really terribble fps
Hi! For Unsynced BLU spell hunts, do I have to see the spell or is it a chance percentage learning rate?
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
open world spells are a chance to learn
need to see it and be alive when the mob/boss dies
yeah sorry, not for you then, you can have some fun on the free trial then
otherwise may want to look at some more free 2 play mmos
its only synced dungeons/instances where the learn rate is 100% provided you've seen the spell cast and are alive when it dies
ohhh so unsynced dungeons/trials are chance to learn provided I've seen it.
oh ok, have you tried installing the latest nvidia driver After that? or are you just running off integrated and thats it?
yes
Damn I was really interested in this game that sucks
