unsync it is a % chance
and generally not recommend to do those unsync
since as i said, synced is a 100% learn rate
things like primal spells are fairly low chance
Yeppers, but before I do I’m leveling my main dps job, how do hunt trains work?
you'll actually want tank for trains
frankly doesn't matter what job you are for hunt trains
only thing that matters is being in a party
well, yeah. party mitigates that
Well I do have an ilv590 war
so to get into a party you wanna join a linkshell
something that announces hunts.
then when they announce it, you saddle up, teleport to the location and check party finder under "The Hunt" tab
join the party, follow people around, kill the big A-rank mobs
most data centers have their own specialized hunt discord
for example, aether has aether-hunts
About how long does Player congestion on a server last? My friends wanna join Faerie but it wasn't congested about a day ago.
So if I buy the base game do I at least get some start time?
yes you get 30 days
yeah i tried installing the latest nvidia after that and it still go black screen with not responding status lol... so i do clean uninstall again then it work with just running off integrated graphic card xD
Ok I may be able to mantage that
Sorry to interrupt, but I'm having an issue where my mouse keys and numpad aren't registering as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc... Instead, they're registering as NUM 1, NUM 2, NUM 3...etc. I've toggled NumLock, no change. Keybindings are normal. Gamepad is disabled. >~< Everything was working just a few hours ago, but now I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
also just noting that faerie is not Congested
It said that no new players could be created
its just temporarily got a lock on character creation
oh so they are different
Congested means the server is not allowing either new players or transfers and is listed as Congested on the server status page
Logitech G600?
Yes.
cycle with the two buttons below the wheel
About how long does a temporary lock last? My friends were eager to start
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
no servers are classified as congested at the moment, so they just need to wait for off-peak hours to create their character IF they really want to go on that server,
new character can't be created if the server is full
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER
I have the same mouse, sooooo...
So there are caps to who can be on at certain times?
yes
What about primal servers
no one knows, its literally dependent on if the server is full at that moment in time
Thank you so very much!
there is a CAP on how many people can be on each world, yes
not certain times, at all times
off peak hours, are you know, offpeak, which means less people are playing
What’s that time normally
hence, less on the server, so server has room
depends on the region
depends on the people who use that regions servers
Ok so I will barely be about to play around those times
yea, the answer is literally, "waht is the primetime for playing videogames for your average person"
since most people are generally going to be off of work/school at those times
you can still login, there just will be a short queue to get into the sserver
Oh okay
BUT character creation, is blocked IF there is a queue
that is to curb character creations to non-busy servers, basically
So you can’t make a character if there’s to many people
Ohhhhh okay
Im getting frustrated 😦 i completed 3 entries in the challenge log and waited for 28h and still got no recruits for my GC squad. Is there something more im supposed to be doing?
chance
That’s all you can do
its rng
And yeah, RNG sucks
just have to keep doing challenge logs until you get the message you have papers waiting for you
ugh, whyyy
Hi, do any boosts affect crafting levequest exp?
Road to X
the game is built in such a way, that you have to be able to login to make a character, However, you can't Queue up unless you have a character, so its a catch 22
once you have been able to make a character, then you can queue up to login with them during whatever time you want
Can anyone help me can't connect to FF client I play on ps and it just keeps giving me error messages
Like blue screen?
It just keeps giving me that error
When I open the game
Not sure that werid
Should I try to reinstall?
@upper cove yup, the wait times improved on increasing languages ! Thanks a lot for that. Still I am guessing jp server will be better choice given I have better ping there by 40 and I play around 2AM GMT and 2PM GMT ?
PSN isn't needed for 14
did you google the error code?
Did you try resetting the console
I’m not sure try to see if other people are having that problem
yes on playstation if psn is down or throws errors you can't login sadly
For how long
It just keeps on attempting to connect to PSN like attempt 1,2,3 then gives me error msg
till psn works in your region again
....
What’s your region
is it possible to hide the hotbar's number?
Sea
Huh
South East Asia
Oh okay I’m nae so I couldn’t tell you
Yeah sorry I couldn’t help more
nvm found it lol
I got a question tho so if I buy the game is the only thing I’m gonna be paying for extra is the subscription
yes, its in the settings, under character configuration i believe, there is a hotbars section and it will be at the top of that,
yeppp it's there
yeah, once you buy the game, thats it
though you have to buy new expansions every couple of years
if you want to play the new content
Oh okay then that’s not that bad
there are some extra stuff you Can buy, but isn't needed for anything
there is no Pay 2 win here
It helps that it already comes with a free 30 day stuff
So I don’t have to pay to play as soon as I already bought the game
yeah you get 30 day "subscription" when buying the game initially
Yeah
but after that, you have to actually pay for the sub
longest you can sub at once is 180 days
154ish per year
12-15$ per month is pretty standard for a mmo subscription
A full year of sub is unironically wasted cash
Oh Ight
you only get a benefit, IF you want to pay ahead and get extra character slots
which no one uses
I’m thinking of just getting it because it comes with the free first 30 days
Is there another dungeon in Zadnor besides DR?
so there is zero benefit for 99% of ppl to pay for 3 or 6 month sub at a time
you can play through the first expansion 100% free without buying the game tho
play the free trial until you finish it, then come back and buy the game
you convert your free trial to a full account
nothing is lost
though you can never go back
Oh is there anything I would miss out on?
you get the base game "A realm reborn" and first expansion "Heavensward"
no content after that
!faq freetrial
besides that, social features are restricted, you can't /tell/whisper ppl, you can't make your own parties (others can invite you though)
you can't join a FC (guilds)
and gil (money) is limited to 300k
and you can't PVP
How long does it take to beat the base game and the dlc
which personally, the only issue i had is i was hitting the Gil cap near the end of ARR
over 100 hours of story content
Now IF you want to do literally everything!
could be over 1000 hours
Ok Ight
It takes however long you make it take, it’s an mmo. Something’s gonna distract you
i played the free trial, for 5 months
because i did basically 95% of extra content before moving on to the next expansion
including levelling all classes/jobs
so yeah,up to you
thats pretty good, since complete, literally gives you everything
well, all expansions anyway
Yeah but I only got 20 so I can’t get it
That’s what I was planing
starter edition gives the same content that the free trial has
unless you want to get rid of the restrictions
Then is there even a reason to get the starter editon
which wont affect you much
and more see the previous links
https://support.na.square-enix.com/rule.php?id=5382&tag=freetrial
tells you what is limited
The only problem I see it the money cap and the friends problem
you can still add friends
and If at least one person owns the game
they could create a linkshell (group chat channel), and invite you to talk in there
honestly, at least for me, the social restrictions, didn't really get in the way much
i got invited to a linkshell with a cool group of ppl i chat with regularly
None of my friends play These type of games I only add people I play with on discord
What pushed you to buy the actual game
The fact that the game is good
And that I was done with the trial content
i was running out of content to do 😄
and well, its really good,
Oh aight
the subscription for me is a real sticking point
I have been playing MMOs since Wow Burning crusade, (but i didn't pay for it, 😛 )
and have played a lot of Buy to play and Free 2 play mmos
but sub always felt like a ripoff to me, or like it made me feel like i Had to play
but the free trial, absolutely won me over
this is literally the first ever MMO that has ever been able to get me to pay a subscription
Yeah the subscription is kinda throwing me into the deep end
Yeah I can play it tomorrow it’s downloading rn
also,A realm reborn, main story, is a bit slow, and that definitely turns some people off the game
but if you can get through it, Heavensward, is damn amazing
"critically acclaimed" for a reason
This is completely random but tea slaps harder than my dad
Where do I get summer theme swim wear outside of the moogle market (website)
you kinda don't? I think?
there's moonfire stuff that you can get in-game
theres some from jonathan p sure
it's on the market but it comes from a bunch of different places
the achievments guy
And yes the jonathas stuff
I see
you can get the black uhh, i cant remember, halter? tanga? whatever, its basically a bikini, from Mor Dhona
using tokens you get from the Achievement certificate guy in Gridania
I see
Jonathas? not sure if jonathan is right
jonathas
in Revenants Toll, its where there are 3 vendors in the street but under one hut, the middle vendor is the one which deals in tomestones, and the one which you can get the bikini from is on the left
if im remembering correctly
otherwise when im home, i can check, i think there are others you can get somewhere else
Where’s the Revenants toll located?
Mor Dhona
😄
Uhh you sure? Aren’t you like lvl 30
but as i said, you need the "vouchers" from the achievement vendor in gridania, to trade for them
soo if you're still early game, you may not have enough
Cause going there without it or and undetected was tough
Another question can free trial users can still buy a home?
no
no
you are restricted to 300k gil max
they start at 3m, your gil max is 300k
and thats not enough to buy a home, not even an apartment (500k)
Hmm well crap baskets
are dungeons the fastest way to level (a tank)?
anything really
but tanks especially, since they get quick queues
choose the highest, NON level cap dungeon
so dont use level 50/60/70/80 dungeons
they give less exp
I know that but are they really the fastest way?
!faq altleveling
!faq altlvlguide
Welcome
basically, yes, dungeons are fastest, if you get quick queues
so dungeons still beat bozja
check the guide for more details, and other options
how do I get those level 3 xp buffs from the squadrons?
you need to upgrade squadrons to rank 3
mine are rank 3 already
then look at the rewards for rank 3
the squadron manuals?
so it's a reward from the missions
you should be able to buy with seals
send them out, if mission succceds then you get the manuals
guess I gotta wait 16 hours
note they don't stack with fc buffs afaik
yeah, manuals and FC buff dont stack, whichever is higher takes precedence
even though both will appear in ur buff bar
thanks all!
FC rank 2 buff, is really easy to get, since it just costs currency, so thats +10% exp
but your Fc can only have 2 buffs up at a time i guess, so depends on them
I feel like it's taking so long to level from 51-59 dungeons, it's taking 3 dungeons. I guess rested xp makes that much of a difference
What is this?
hunt target
They’re in bozja
star mob, they hit hard and drop a shitton of fragments
can cheese with the death skill but if it fails you should be prepared to run
OK, thanks @twilit arch ! Btw, I heard that I cannot farm the first step of the relic in Zadnor, is this true?
That it HAS to be done in Bozja?
yes
are you stacking your boost sources? i recently leveled some classes though that region and it was more like 2 dungeons per level
Can I also just farm the stuff in HW Areas with FATES, cause it seems remarkably slow...
yes
i had a lot of exp sources though: FC exp boost, food boost, armory boost, menphina's earring
Blue mage
yeah, just use Blu
personally, I just passively level other jobs using the daily roulettes,
i have plenty of other stuff to do so haven't needed to bother trying to level one up quickly
I'm trying to level WAR to replace PLD for savage, I'll try the manuals too
there a way to get hold of a 590 chestpiece outside of the alliance raid?
augment a classical or buy radiant
radiant has piety on healer chestpiece 
ill see about augmenting the classical, thanks
I know, it sucks
How do I summon my chocobo?
To ride or to fight alongside you?
Yes
You did the quest right
Yep
Go to companion
Mount guide > use mount
For fighting, use gyshsl green from your inventory
"Summon" summons it to fight with you, costs 1 gysahl green per 30min
"Mount/dismount" is for riding. Once you dismount he disappears
You can bind both buttons to hotbars
The summon timer pauses if you're mounted on any mount, or if you are in an area where summoned chocobos are not allowed
Hmm odd it says action unavailable It cannot be summon.
Then you didn’t do the quest
Or don’t have greens
do you have Gyshal Greens
anyone knows why i keep getting this weird character render distance? ive no problem rendering the overworld at a distance, but my character is messed up, its fine when i zoom in on character but when im at a distance, it looks so weird.
I have the greens
daamit i need a better editing software smh
ah you need the quest "My Feisty Little Chocobo"
When to try to use to to summon it it says the same action
Which is on the msqtracker
the original chocobo quest only lets you ride, not fight alongside
anyone knows?
Use it, that unlocks your mount
Be a gatherer, or be over leveled
Just do the story dude, the glam isn’t going anywhere
do you use shaders? so gshade
because the whole environment gets grainy at a distance, that looks like one of my FC mates who really likes shaders that overly sharpen the game
without shaders also the character render distance is messed up, i checked multiple times idk wat to do 😢
turn off LOD in settings?
otherwise im not sure what else would affect distance
but LOD def would
did that too
Isn't there that option that uses low poly models for things in the distance
there is
yeah, thats what LOD is
Oo
"Level Of Detail"
the thing is the drg job gear is having this issue mainly
the other gears are not having this issue, i've a hunch the job gear just has a lot of thing going on that needs rendering
aren't there also AF setings which will affect that kinda thing?
i can't remember exactly, not at my PC
like Anistropic filtering? or whatever its called
idek wat AF does
look for that option, i believe there is one
if not that, it could just be something jank with the engine and that gear piece
seems to be a very specific problem
gimme 2 mins
A lot of different colored pixels in a tight space
Zooming out reduces how much space each colour gets so you get this staticy effect
Nothing you can do except get a higher resolution screen with moar pixel which will reduce that
It's also an issue on other gear but not as prominent unless it has high contrast colors like that set
higher than 1920x1080p?
Just gotta deal with it
😦
Sad reality of limitations
But yeah
No way to fix it
Outside of changing the colour to match the detailing or getting a higher resolution screen
also i edited out the settings, same issue. i guess its just the resolution huh @steep egret
I have that issue in destiny 2 with some items
They're just too fancy to lookngood from a distance
do u play on a laptop or PC? @regal pawn
Pc
1080p screem
Planning to upgrade to 1440p some time this year to get rid of said issue 
oof im stuck with this 
ok yeah its easier to see in daylight now as well 🙂
tbh it just looks like its because of the high detail in the armour piece's textures
ill have a look at some later, to see if i can replicate it
thanks man lmk if u find a solution 🙂
do u need the gshade details also
preset
its the same kinda rule as , do not wear thin striped clothes on TV, causes all sorts of artifacting as resolution scales down
oooh
if its the same as when gshade is disabled, then doesn't matter
for anima light farm, do i need to equip the weapon to kill the raid boss or i can do the "equip the weapon before exiting the instance" trick
Have to kill the boss with it
i c
actually, what is the gear piece called that you are wearing, that way i can literally compare like for like
tiamat set
89 drg set
ah k, im not at max level yet, but i can always "try on" from a friend who has 😄
oke oke
idk if the try on will have the expected result since my try on is not so messed up iirc
yeah fair, ill get my friend to come to me with it on then, when they have a moment, just need someone to model it for me 😄
yaaa
just got my first crafter to 80 and i want to farm white scrips, is the play here to buy marketboard gear and craft the lv80 collectable to turn in?
you can get a metric ton of whitescripts from doing custom deliveries
and easily get gear
if you dont want to buy off the MB
i do custom deliveries with the last expansions scrip gear
strongly suggest not worrying about farming scrips before max level
then upgrade all crafters over a few weeks
just wait for next week and use custom delivery scrips
unfortunately used up my chances on gatherer for purple scrips right after reset
okay, thanks
ah ok,yeah id just wait for reset
not sure if my impression is correct but i thought saving custom deliveries for maxed classes would be better since it gives purple as well
so, get a single crafter to max
well, first of all, you don't seem to have a max to begin with so that point, even if it was true, is moot
but you can use customs for lower levels, to say, get 80 gear
Exp is worth it, purple scrips aren’t that vital
but no, you're way better off just using custom deliveries as needed (exp or purple scrips)
purple scrips aren't that useful
alright noted, thanks for the advice everyone!
80 crafter white scrip gear, would be universal, i believe, as in all crafters share it
not sure about 90
so you could easily get a set in one or 2 weeks, for all crafters
at 90 it mainly buys some crafting mats, 90 scrip gear, and some materia
And the 90 scrip gear isn’t worth buying
then use that 80 gear to level to 90
im not at 90 yet, not at EW yet, but thats the same process i use for other expansions
opt for mb gear if you get to 90 and wanna continue crafting
90 scrip gear is currently artifact so it's per specific class only and also just worse than mb gear
Questions regarding retainers ventures,
I've been googling and looking for answer and I was wondering which is better...
sending them on quick ventures or explorations? (all my retainers are lv90)
I also couldn't find the best answer on google =_=
i send them on quicks while i'm playing and long explorations before i log out
it's rare for me to send them on targeted hunt/botany/mining etc unless there's a specific use case for what i want
yea, quick ventures while you're in-game and the 18hr ventures when you log off/will be away for awhile
the specific 1hr ventures use to be the better way to level while playing, but they boosted quick venture exp so its much better now
that's a lot of inventory lol
@lucid cloak yeah hahah!
i might need help with macros
what in particular
so basically idk if its a macro
but i see people running around in the chicken glam
but its rainbow
like it changes dye constantly
I would have to guess that it's an equip macro with differently colored identical gear. Otherwise the sheer gil investment would be insane lol
As long as they're only changing in cities (or near aetherytes), glamour plates would accomplish the same.
is there anything i can do with i560 gear that i no longer need ?
like desynth, trade in for seals, anything?
fair point
iirc you can turn it in at the Enclave as part of your weekly allowence
it is
you get it for free, you can't sell it for profit, or turn it in, or desynth, or anything really
it would be free infinite money/seals/desynth levels
Do trial players get the xp to tomes conversion when they reach cap? (at lvl60)
Xp to tome conversion?
nope
what happens when you;re lvl 90
its apparently a thing at lvl90
dang, so completely wasted ey ;-;
yep
waht
what exactly do you mean by xp to tome conversion?
Ok but...

Not that different, 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90
you just get different tomes from cap activities
50-80 being poetics
90 being fancy current tomes
uh so, I will get it then?
it would be stupid if you didn't
poetics are given from 50/60/70/80 content, yes
you won't get Astronomy or Aphorism
and no, it's not an xp = tomes conversion
from cap activities specifically
It just happens that at cap, you get fancy tomes
right lol, not direct conversion
huh, i thought i recalled seeing that the exp was replaced with something
hallucination perhaps
Yes
but that's not because it's xp to tomes conversion
it's becuase you're max lvl
max or not, 81-89 duties won't give you shit
you're not earning exp period when you're capped. so its not a conversion
because leveling only gives end game currency when you're at max lvl
This is only to incentivize still doing that roulette
it doesn't give poetics
makes sense
oh that's what was remembering, leveling roulette on max level char
all of the roulettes get it
except guildhest
It's purely there so people still do them
And don't just drop roulettes all together
also is this sleeping time for EU peeps or something.. waiting in queue for 50/60 roulettes and its not even starting ;-;
yes, it's like early morning for most of EU
it is indeed sleepy time
It's work time
I assume Chaos Spriggan is mostly EU?
chaos and light is eu
ah rip, ok
primal, crystal and aether is na
Chaos in general is mostly EU.
Activity starts like 5pm uk time
is there no asia?
materia is aussie land
and the other ones are jpn
elemental, mana and gaia(?) are jpn
I see
im farming ARR on my second job, currently got zenith, do i need to pick up a quest or can i just start the atma fate grind? cuz i have the quest completed for another job and dont know how to retake it
can start
ty
keep in mind, a lot of australians play on US server despite latency
materia can be quite hit or miss with regards to server population
for me it hardly matters latency wise I think, similar distance to jpn or EU from India 
everything is 150-190 range 🙂
210 here 
Jpn is mostly Japanese speakers just fyi
Elemental has a big EN population but it's Still a mostly Japanese server
And Australians that refused to transfer ^^

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*

see for yourself
I get 12ms to oce servers, very nice compared to when I was on JP
What is the make it rain event?
event in the gold saucer, has its own little quests and for the duration of the event increases mgp gain
You make huge bucks if you do Fashion Report while the event is running
Just confirmed, not donatable. But as mentioned by Vis about free money, you can't trade any AF, even ones that actually costs things, like the ones found at the calamity salvager for a bit of gil.
Not sure if the multiplier applies to the giant cactpot
it does
neat
Hi! Just installed FFXIV and I'm wondering something, wich DC and server should I choose? I live in Europe however the ping and timezone isn't at all an issue for me, so that's why I'm very unsure about what to choose. Are there differences between the servers?
There are servers with big French/German/Italian etc communities so if you want them choose the appropriate server, if not I think you can choose whatever (still from Europe)
pick a euro server, because the people who are playing on those servers, will be playing at the time you will likely be playing
if you pick a US server, and the time most players are online there doesn't match you, then you'll have a harder time getting parties/matchmaking for dungeons and other stuff
since less ppl will be online
unless your main game hours, aren't the usual 5pm to 11pm-ish
Depends, I usually go online on the usual Europe ones or Japan time
some people pick a different region Because that region matches their playing time, because say, they work nightshifts
The only effective differences between servers are market prices and population. Preferred servers will give you a big exp boost for joining them. Especially with the new Visit system, you're able to travel to other servers anyway. But you can only join FC's and such in your Home server. As DarkNoot mentioned, most anything else just revolves around local time activity.
And is the community the same everywhere? I mean, I'd like to join a server kinda populated with active people if possible
I really like the social part of MMOs, that's why I'm considering this a lot
For the most part, yes. Partyfinder and other matchmaking things are shared throughout the entire datacenter. We even have things called Crossworld Linkshells and Fellowships that allow for inter-server communication
basicallly all servers are well populated
there are estimates on some websites for population
but should be taken with a grain of salt
tbh at peak hours you will probably have to queue to enter any server lol
(exception being Oceanic servers, since those are new, population is lower than others)
Ooh, I see
Truth. Especially with the release of endwalker, we've had waiting ques ranging from 100 to 20 even during low hours now 6months since release
I just got married in game!
With the ring, can I put it in the glamour dresser as glam and then take it out without the date/time and spouse name changing?
any queue below 100 is really just the server purposely putting players into batches to make login impact the servers less
it isn't a real queue
ring cant go in the dresser
Then what EU DC should i choose though? Is there difference between the servers? Like some hardcore, or more chill ones etc ?
Okay well thank you!
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Southeast Asian and Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
outside of those listed all the eu worlds are the same
best you can do is find an article online which lists server population, but those aren't accurate
Square doesn't give any way to check server population numbers
Not that I'm really aware of. Most players will end up in Savage (our hardest tier of content) so if you want to research further than Kupo Bot I'd suggest joining the raider discords and so forth to get a better feel for where people are. You can also just choose one now and either pay to transfer to a different server or transfer for free to preferred ones later through the website
so just pick a server classified as "preferred" to get some really nice experience boosts, and call it a day
assuming you have no other reason to pick a specific server
Ooh, I see, thank you!
Definitely something I think the team did right was how available it is to play with the community you're looking for, especially if you search around through discord/reddit
I am too from India... And started on EU. Thinking of shifting to JPN as EU is sleeping or working when I play 😢
Also @smoky ivy jp has better ping than EU by 40
Ah well, am kinda bit too late for that unless you can copy chara from one server to another which I don't think is the case
I assume you just started?
No I am 50+ on 5 classes
Will probably use 18$ unless I find a group
Oh you can shift by paying 18?
That's cost of home world transfer
lets DM instead of cluttering here ?

Can someone explain how to tell the class of an enemy? In my last instance, one of the NPCs told me to "target their mage". I can't see anywhere that tells me which NPC is a mage (the all had the same types )
Automatically teleports you right onto your target
Generally from looking at their name or weapon.
Staves would be mages or healers
so nothing on the HUD tells me? I tabbed through all Enemies, and they all have the same name "e.g. evil brigand")
If their names are all the same, then the hud itself won’t tell you
well it will sort of
in the sense that the casters will generally have a castbar
on the enemy list
isnt that one supposed to also be like "look at the actual enemy, not just the hud"?
@obsidian patio ty!
I find it very difficult to see who is attacking who so I tend to look at the hud, Paragon
in terms of aggro, thats easy to look at the party list for
but ffxiv bosses have tells on them for attacks later
OK anyway, there's not a setting I'm missing on the HUD. I thought it would display an icon next to each enemy to tell y9ou their class
One more Q while I'm here. I've been told to use "t", "t" to target the tank's target. But quite often, if I hit "t" nothing happens (this is after the tank has engaged the enemy). Any idea why?
i think they mean tab
no, "t" for tank
well t the keybind is default for the teleport menu
It works most of the time
it can also be that targeting is sometimes a little funky
ok
make sure its not on the edge of your screen
ive had that cause it to go "i dont see anyone lol"
so the poerson I'm targetting has to be in view?
yep
i love this game to death but man is its systems a bit archaic sometimes lol
sooo, yeah sorry i think it is what it is
the quality is kinda garbage, but you can see it,
before turning the camera, i turn "Edge Smoothing (Anti Aliasing)", off, and it makes it worse,
i then turn it back on after a bit, but yeah
it gets better with that enabled, but its still an issue,
and this is with basically every other graphics setting at max, and no gshade interfering
lemme check that out
omg discord is so trash on mobile
soo its the same for you huh, its not just me. Guess need higher resolution monitor@steep egret
im on 1440p , so that was very zoomed out
so same issue on 1440p...i don't get it. I saw a larrys drg vid when it came out and he had no rendering issue. He had the same gearset.
Is it because I'm on GTX? Since GTX does not support DLSS?
wasn't it said that the glamour dresser would be doubled in storage? when is it?
6.2
thanks
make it rain, yes it has
Which of the seasonal event prizes are the seasonal ones? Some things like the armors and such seem to be available at the regular prize NPC as well.
or are they just cheaper?
Ah. I can check on the event site.
Apart from crafting/selling and daily roulettes, what's the best method to make decent gil?
Is weaving all oGCD charges before the heat blast spam suboptimal? Ping is too high to play MCH normally
maps can net you some nice gil
If youre feeling more social, RP venues, ERP can also get you some nice gil
House decorating is a thing too afaik
you get 2.5 charges back and you can't really guarantee your cooldown to be alligned perfectly enough for all hypercharges to fall on that 15 seconds where your charge won't overcap, so you'll end up losing a bunch of charges
rip...
How are RP venues going to give me gil?
Is there a website that I can find venues like that? Like a list of some sort
dont think so
You're being partially wound up, gotta do the legwork
Market board is best gil, but what's popular varies from server to server
So there's no easy answer
Well aside from do your msq
I went up from 900k to 1.4mil (bought some stuff) by just leveling my WAR
pretty much everything gives u gil
Well I suppose the easy easy answer to making gil is: PLAY THE GAME
Quests, dungeons, materials you can vendor or resell
I wanna make a JP themed WAR
Etc etc etc
Grab one of the Chinese New year helmets
Dont forget playing the marketboard. Find an item that sells well, buy cheap on another server, sell high on yours
0 work to do
I think TheSpiffingBrit made a couple of million gil without getting a single class above lvl 40
Yeah but he was playing the mb full time
And also he published his method so now loads of ppl are doing it and undercutting each other
You can get plenty of gil from just playing the game and selling all the junk you really don't need to hoard.
Alternatively, keep buying MSQ skips and trading the 500k gil to your main. 
Lmaooo
I usually sell desynth mats and crafting mats used for crafts.
Sometimes finished products
Don't underestimate laziness
There's a very easy to get map that can get you an item that costs 200k
Gear your retainers and send them on exploration regularly. Do roulettes. Donate gear to GC to buy ventures, or desynth and sell mats.
I basically do my daily map mining allowance on that and hope I get the good item
costs 200k on elemental**
Or take the safe route and sell a map every day. Basically any activity in the game can be turned into gil without too much extra effort.
are there 4 relic weapons for each and every job except blue mage?
are raids not like roulettes? resetting daily?
Is anyone else constantly disconnecting at start screen? Elemental Tonberry server here
nah, only if they were in said expac
so sb jobs dont have arr relics
so what's the total number of them? like 67?
lemee calculate that
55
thanks!
That's also not accounting for the various forms relics go through
and PLD off hands?
those are part of pld relics
swords are always like 7/10s of the work, and shields make up the other 3/10
(thought it doesnt really change anything)
when gold saucer event start
already has
when
since 4am est
today
yep
ty
I keep mixing up channels >.>
does drg delay LoD now?
not anymore
nice
you always delay now
always gierskogul first then jump
it's lined up with buffs that way, you only do it the other way for different phase/kill time optimization
hi guys, anything worth buying here if you've reached limit on tomstone?
can look into arr and HW relics and start buying stuff for them
!faq poetics
these are all untradable items for the relic weapons so "worth" is up to you
tradable stuff is in other tabs
aah okay, thanks!
which other tab u're mentioning? the armors?
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics (Other)
wait...so you still delay?
das mb
nope, just one every minute
i c
unless kill time optimization or something idk drg much
if i leave eureka while i'm dead, do i lose exp?
does battle liteny not effect chaos spring?
yes
pretty sure it does, its just the other gcds can take more advantage of BL
it does, but you probably want the balance dragoons to answer more specific opener questions
i c
my assumption would be that it's not a flat/guaranteed damage gain so it's not that important to snapshot it, but i got no clue
compared to lance charge and dragon sight
can someone help you doing msq?
not for solo duties
does boss battles count 🙂
i mean you can get advice for others, but yes only you can do that fight
Where can I peep the fashion report requirements?
i see, aight thanks
if it's a duty in the duty finder then yeah you can get a group/friends
! fr in #kupo-bot-spam
Thank you ❤️
Ok so I have enough money to get the collectors edition should I get that?
up to you? it's just extra cosmetics which you can buy separately later
It give you all the dlcs
so does "complete" edition, and its cheaper
that's complete edition, not collectors
make sure you are 100% sure which one you are looking at
Ohhhh okay my bad
or well, it gives you base game and endwalker, endwalker on its own gives you previous expansions too
It is the complete edition
If you're just looking to get the complete edition, then sure, that's great.
as we have seen people buy, Endwalker collectors edition, which actually does NOT come with ARR/HW, so they had to buy starter to actualyl play
Just be aware that if you're trial now, you can't later go back to the non-subscription version.
Once you upgrade, that's it.
Endwalker collector just means they get Endwalker, and additional Endwalker vanity items
Yeah it’s a deal rn for 42 dollors
Collector are always vanity items
But it’s ends on the 9th
You get 1 month of subscription for free, but after that you'll have to pay the sub if you want to keep playing.
yeah, BUT, is the money you are saving, going to be wasted because you'll pay some additional months in subscription, while you are essentially playing the free content (but on a sub)
Yes I know that
So just make sure you're okay with that before jumping in 🙂
To be fair, even if they are still in ARR or HW
Being out of trial
Means they can interact with players
And buy stuff from marketboard
I’m still gonna be paying monthly
And have an actual Gil pouch
I haven’t even played the trail because of school that’s why I’m askin go if I should just go ahead and buy it before the deal ends
True
Does it activate when you download the game
that was kinda my point, but i forgot you could keep the codes and not register them
uhh, i have no idea for PS4/PS5
you can for PC
Codes? It gives you a code?
maybe someone else knows how it works
Yeah I’m on ps4
yeah, you need to register the game on your mogstation account
with the code they give you, at least on PC
(i assumed it was playstation, because there is no PC sale at the moment)
Yes it is
Then I'm not sure
If you buy the game on ps4, the codes automatically get initialized the moment you enter the game again
So you cant do the buy now use later thing
Oh ok so if I buy it now I have to play now?
Technically yes
Once you initialize the codes
The 30 free days essentially stsrt counting down
PlayStation treats both as the same game essentially
The moment you buy > forced to update and initialize > cant play free trial
So should I just play the trial this weekend then buy the full game on like Monday?
Thats up to you
People would recommend milking the free trial as much as possible ke
But
I’m trying to see if it’s worth it
The game doesn't go on sale for ps4 as often
Theres like a 8month-1 year gap between each afaik
I bought my game may 2021. Before that the previous sale was aug 2020
Yeah that’s a long time
So either I wait 8 months or I get it now
I haven't seen a sale since then until this current one. Although tbf that was cause of endwalker
Yep. And there's also no way to guarantee the next sale is in 8 months
Damn.
Ok I’ll probably just buy it honestly
Although
I'm not sure when the sale ends
But do give the free trial a spin when you have time
The 9th
Before the sale ends
But I would have to leave to go camping on the 5th so I would only have two day
I’ll probably play the trial today and half of Tomorrow
To see if I really like it
But I’m pretty convinced I will I use to play Tera and this gives me huge Tera vibes
can i change the shape of anima weapon after reaching final stage?, Nyepels Sucks
You can buy replicas of previous stages
Where?
It's only possible to get one ||Aglaia|| coin per week, right? Spoilered cuz idk
Yea
@storm zenith cant recall clearly but it should be one of the nodes near gerolt and the anima boy
In azys la
k thx
hello, in order to unlock shire gear, do I need to complete ||the whole arc of heavensward||? Or do I just need to finish the first arc?
need to complete the quest "Heavensward" to get access to HW endgame stuff like tome gear yeah
same for all expansions
you get access to tomestone gear, in every expansion, when you finish the main story for that expansion when it was released
so base expansion story, 3.0 quests for HW, then 3.1-3.5 is endgame patch stuff, then 4.0 story and when you finish that with the quest "Stormblood" you get level 70 tome gear
thanks!
Shire gear is the hw tome gear not the 70
How to do the glowstick thinghie
Buy the emote
It's from mog?
Yes
Isee. Thanks
alright thanks guys @steep egret @green grail 🙏
what happens when i move servers but have a house 😫
i’d be moving to a oce server so it’d be suggested
there is a thing somewhere on the lodestone telling you what to do
oh i heard i can possibly get a money reimbursement
yes
read
oh actually i dont think you get the money back
unless you are transferring to a "new world"
or from a congested to preferred
they are still "new"
Is this normal?
So I'm working on my fishing log. Recently I needed to catch a fish that needed intuition + mooch.
I get intuition, I get the fish to mooch, and of course it gets away.
However, suddenly there's a chance the fish could proc without needing to mooch a 2nd time?
Just to add on. Heavensward tome gear is funky. You do not need to finish the 60 msq. Just getting access to idyllshire is enough
Every other expansion yea as above
Like if you proc the fish but it gets away it nullifies requirements?
no, that doesn't happen
you still need mooch chain
you sure it wasn't just another fish with the same bite strength?
yeah sorry that link from before, doesn't exactly say what happens for new world transfers
but this one does, (as its situation specific)
and it tells you what you need to do Exactly to get ur money back

oh ty!
so its my first time extending my subscription, i use visa, so it will auto debit from my cc every 30 days instead of adding 30 days duration?
cool
they try to not design the game with FOMO
little to no content, disappears permanently
exactly
which is why we see massive player spikes shortly before a new expansion comes out
most online game was like, if you miss a login, you will lose your pace
those are people who played the previous one, but didn't play the new content released between expansions
so they renew their sub, and play the stuff they've not done yet, then play the new expansion, then cancel again
yeah there is very little of that here, which is nice
I mean you can literally lose your place
Aka house
im homeless
ah yeah, thats probably the only thing
no worries
but its because housing is limited
you can always get an apartment, can't lose those
oh plants :/
cant plant the voidrake seeds
rip
one of the downsides yea
which is why i hope that the "island sanctuary" that is eventually coming (that we know shit all about)
allows gardening
thats cool if you can gardening without having a house
yeah, thats the main thing i want made not dependent on houses
there are a few other things you can do with houses, but as far as i know
they really dont affect the game much, if at all
i see
theres a submarine mission thingy, workshop
but i never see them talked about, no idea how they work
i saw an info about roadmap in next 10 years but didnt see the detail info yet
How do people take such crisp and nice looking screenshots 😭😭
gshade
If I do /gshade instead of /gpose?
gshade is extra software
its shaders for the game
you install it then can adjust a metric ton of shaders to change how the game looks
Aaah gotcha, thank youu
Probably heavy to run but I’ll try it cause it looks soooo goood 😍
there are "gameplay" shaders
and then there are photo only designed shaders
the gameplay ones are fairly light
and just make things look a bit better
Aaah that’s cool and that’s okay that’s a rabbit hole idm going into XD
and less washed out
Thanks :p
IF you do install gshade and want some general use "gameplay" shaders
have a look at these
Gshade\ShenovaGameplay
Espresso Glow\EG00 - Shadowbringers Gameplay
Alive Presets\Alive 4.0.1 Performance (this one you have to get off nexus mods, its **not **build into gshade)
personally i use ShenovaGameplay 99% of the time
and anamnesis for weather control
unless they just waited a really long time for different weather but.. unlikely
Hell yeah I'll check all of those out :p
Out of curiousity since i've been in uldah for a good while doing crafter quests. Is it expected for mentors to invite random low level sprouts to novice network? Worse the sprout will do is say no, right?
Was just curious. I Know when I was a sprout I didn't even know about NN till halfway through stormblood
Is there a way to try on the hairstyle for the new lyse set?… i am in dreamfitting and it only lets me try the rest. I need to know if the hair clips with my 2 hats 😦
Dream fitting does not currently support hair
It's a very new feature in the first place
🥲 eff
hi everyone, sorry just a quick question if anyone can help - which of the EU Servers do you recommend for quick matching for duties/etc for a noob? i'm trying to go through the Seventh Astral Era Quests and it's a pain in the ass
servers are all in one group
so theres no "best server" since you're queing with every server in that data center
oohh. in which case is there a "better" data centre between light & chaos?
cool, thanks! (:
yeah dps queues just kinda suck for that kinda stuff
you just get used to it 😦
crafting and gathering can be good to invest in when you're waiting in que tho
oh good point! will bear that in mind next time
So
Aside Senorita Sabotender
Any other sneaky buyable item from Make it rain? ;,D
Furniture ignored for obvs reasons
That's gonna matter even less in a month or two once regional data centre travel is added
It still, kinda does doesn't it? I mean, if Free Companies matter to them anyway.
um did the reset already happen cause fasion report is different than last i checked
FR won't be live for another 20 minutes and the FR reporter person usually needs a few hours to get the data to make sure everything is correct
but it already reset from what io can tell
the one that matches with whats displayed currently was pasted 5 hours ago
really? it worked for me just fine
and he just judged me
oh neat
I havent done or unlocked EW savage yet or anything, what do I spend tomestones on xD
have you finished 6.0 msq?
